No full textThe Church is a Dog Park is a mixed media installation project that explores grief, memory, and the processing of loss through tactile art making. The work honors Ellen, an influential figure in the artist's life who took her own life in October 2023 due to health issues. Ellen, affectionately known as "the crazy dog lady" in their community, fostered numerous dogs and served as a third parental figure to the artist. The project's title stems from the poignant discovery that Ellen spent her final moments at what others called a church but she experienced as a dog park—a green space where she frequently walked her dogs.
The installation comprises four primary components: ceramic figurines representing dogs significant to their shared history, embroidered and mended denim overalls symbolizing Ellen's practical nature, a weighted puppy-shaped soft sculpture referencing memories of carrying sleepy puppies during walks, and a variable edition of woodblock prints depicting The Dark Corner, a meaningful landscape from their walks together. Each medium serves as a different avenue for processing grief—the repetitive motions of embroidery, the grounding quality of clay work, and the layered transformations of printmaking mirror the complexities of mourning.
Influenced by artists like Zoe Leonard, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Alison Bechdel, the work examines how objects and natural environments become vessels for memory. The project is informed by research on trauma, emotional connection in mammals, tactile art as therapy, and the concept of "a good death." Through visible mending, variable editions, and interactive elements, the project explores how grief, like art making, is a transformative process—not obscuring damage but acknowledging it while creating something newly meaningful
A terra de Nhanderu: organização sociopolítica e processos de ocupação territorial dos Mbyá-Guarani em Santa Catarina, Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social.Nas três últimas décadas o litoral catarinense vem experimentando a re-ocupação de assentamentos guarani, especialmente do subgrupo Mbyá, processo que se apresenta tanto como uma reivindicação dos direitos do grupo, quanto pela própria necessidade destes em procurar espaços adequados para manter e reproduzir sua cultura. Paralelo a isto, os governos federal e estadual incentivam a realização de obras de desenvolvimento na região (construção de gasoduto, duplicação de rodovias, construção de linhas de transmissão elétrica, além do investimento na indústria turística), situação que compromete ainda mais a realização dos processos fundiários das áreas indígenas guarani. Nesse contexto apresenta-se a aquisição de áreas destinas para os Guarani como forma de diminuir os problemas fundiários e a reivindicação do grupo sobre as terras que tradicionalmente ocupam. A presente pesquisa tenta mostrar as transformações na sociedade guarani à luz da compra de terras, as relações do contato interétnico entre os Mbyá e as instituições da sociedade envolvente, assim como as resignificações que este grupo vem efetivando como uma estratégia cultural para se distinguir étnica e culturalmente

A POÉTICA n’AS CURVAS DO RIO: A IMAGINAÇÃO GEOGRÁFICA NO RIO CACHOEIRA
No full textO objetivo deste artigo é interpretar o espaço geográfico do rio Cachoeira no romance As Curvas do Rio, de José Cândido de Carvalho Filho, identificando-o como uma realidade geográfica concreta e também como uma paisagem imaginada e descrita pelo autor. O referido rio permeia como ator principal e também como cenário das paisagens vivenciadas nos diálogos que acontecem entre quatro amigos no alpendre da casa-sede de uma fazenda de cacau, no Sul do estado da Bahia. Através destes quatro personagens, o autor descortina “um mundo do cacau”, vívido, sentido, amado e imaginado, em que o importante rio Cachoeira torna-se povoado de desejo... devaneio... imaginação... e criatividade.... Ter imaginação significa ter liberdade de apreender o espaço, para pensar... para devanear... para escrever uma obra que leva o leitor à história e à memória da Região Cacaueira da Bahia. Os diálogos acontecem para que os personagens exponham seu entendimento pessoal sobre qualquer um dos temas debatidos, inclusive sobre a imaginária semelhança entre os rios e os homens. Não temos a intenção de substituir a análise científica pela criação literária, mas, apenas, retirar da literatura novos sentidos de interpretação, reconhecendo-a como uma via de enriquecimento do conhecimento do espaço geográfico do rio Cachoeira.

The poetry in “As Curvas do Rio”: the geographical
imagination of cachoeira river
The objective of this paper is to interpret the geographical space of Cachoeira River in the novel As Curvas do Rio by José Cândido de Carvalho Filho, identifying it as a concrete geographical reality and also as a landscape that was imagined and described by the author. The named river permeates as the main actor and also as a setting of the landscapes lived in the dialogues that take place among four friends in the porch of the main house of a cocoa farm in the South of Bahia State. Through these four characters the author uncurtains a vivid “cocoa world”, felt, loved and imagined, in which the important Cachoeira River is full of desire... reverie... imagination... and creativity... To have imagination is to have freedom to learn the space, to think... to wonder... to write a piece that takes the reader to the history and the memory of Bahia’s Cocoa Region. The dialogues take place to allow the characters to express their personal understanding about any of the debated topics, including the imaginary similarity between the rivers and the men. We do not have the intention to replace the scientific analysis by the literary creation, but only withdraw from the literature new senses of interpretation, recognizing it as a way to enrich the knowledge about the geographical space of Cachoeira River.

Transshipment port in the Rio de la Plata
No full textThe predictions for the future foretell an increase of the amount of exported grain over the Rio Paraná/Rio de la Plata system of 63% in 2030. Besides this, the new Panama locks will be finished in 2015. Seeing as the current shipping standard is largely determined by the Panama locks, the general expectation is that the vessel dimensions will increase to a standard size that complies with the new locks. It is evident that the increase in maximum draft of these vessels makes the depth restrictions in the Rio de la Plata cut into their efficiency even harder. It is a reasonable assumption that something has to be done in order to keep the Rio Paraná system from collapsing. There are numerous types of solutions that could be applied for this problem. The chosen solution in this case is the construction of a new port somewhere in the Rio de la Plata. This port would serve as a transhipment station where inland vessels deliver the cargo from ports along Rio Paraná and where it gets transhipped into ocean going vessels with a New Panamax size, which have a maximum draft of 54 feet, for shipment across the ocean. This solution means that the ocean going vessels can fully utilise their maximum draft for the entire duration of their trip. Furthermore it means that, as far as the grain industry is concerned, the requirement for maintaining an artificial depth of 34 feet in the Rio de la Plata past the port is no longer required. The final design of the previously described port consists of an artificial island on Banco Chico off the coast of Magdalena in the Rio de la Plata. This location has been chosen due to political, environmental and cost related motivations and is located right next to the already existing shipping channel, making the required access channel for the port’s ocean basin shorter. The port is designed to be capable of receiving anything up to fully loaded New Panamax sized vessels and partially loaded Capesize vessels. On the river side of the port the system is designed to make use of tug/barge combinations with a loading capacity of 5600 tons and a draft of 14 feet. This draft means they can freely sail on most of the Rio de la Plata and do not necessarily require the maintained channels. The island itself gives room for (temporary) storage of commodities in between unloading and loading to ensure a constant supply of grain to load the ocean vessels and thus reduces the service time. All in all the construction of a transhipment port on an artificial island in the Rio de la Plata is a preliminarily feasible solution to the described problem. This does, however, mean that all the assumptions that have been made in the design phase will either have to be true, or false in a non-critical fashion. On top of that there are still numerous risks that could harm the operational feasibility of the port and make sure it will never exist. As long as sufficient research is done into the more critical aspects of these risks and assumptions, a lot of economic benefit could be gained from embarking on a new system.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Icacinicaryites sp. Del Rio C. & De Franceschi 2020
No full textIcacinicaryites sp. (Fig. 5) STRATIGRAPHY. — Cuisian. LOCALITY. — Prémontré (France). SPECIMEN. — MNHN.F.44741. DESCRIPTION Fossil bilaterally symmetrical, elliptical; unilocular and singleseeded, length 8.8 mm, width 7.6 mm. Apex slightly asymmetrical, base rounded, symmetrical. Outer part of locule cast with reticulate pattern of rounded ridges; face of locule cast with 3-4 longitudinal ridges enclosing 6-9 polygonal areoles on each lateral face with few or no freely ending ridgelets; a keel surrounds the locule cast in the plane of symmetry (ṙ); cellular details unknown. REMARKS Only one specimen represents the Icacinaceae in this outcrop. We found no thicker part on the keel which suggests that this specimen is a locule cast rather than the complete endocarp. In the absence of apparent anatomical preservation, we choose to include this specimen in the genus Icacinicaryites without species name. This specimen could be close to Iodes multireticulata sensu Reid & Chandler (1933) but with fewer areoles. It may correspond to Iodes rigida from Le Quesnoy site, but the reticulation pattern does not match. This specimen seems to have a unique morphology despite the lack of anatomical characters. OVERVIEW OF ICACINACEAE FROM THE PARIS BASIN Here we review all the accepted occurrences of the Icacinaceae from the Paris Basin (Table 1). In addition to fruits from Passy, Belleu and Prémontré studied here, we include the fruits from Rivecourt (Paleocene; Del Rio et al. 2019a) and Le Quesnoy (early Eocene, Del Rio et al. 2019b) and a flower from Le Quesnoy (Del Rio et al. 2017). Occurrences of triporate and echinate pollen belonging to the Compositoipollenites genus (with Icacinaceous affinity) have been described for the Paris Basin. Compositoipollenites medius Krutzch & Vanhoorne, 1977, Compositoipollenites minimus Krutzch & Vanhoorne, 1977 and Compositoipollenites rhizophorus burghasungensis (Murriger & Pflug, 1952) Thomson & Pflug, 1949 were found in the Le Quesnoy site and the Paleocene of Guitrancourt (Cavagnetto 2000, Kedves 1970). Moreover, Compositoipollenites minimus was also found in Nointel (early Eocene, Oise; see Kedves 1970) and Compositoipollenites rhizophorus (R. Potonié, 1934) R. Potonié, 1960 at Paris Austerlitz (late Eocene, Paris; see Kedves 1970). However, some author consider that we have not enough data from other families that also have echinate pollen to confidentially conclude about these affinities (Manchester et al. 2015). We decided to follow the same caution and we do not include them in our analysis. No leaves or woods remains have been attributed to Icacinaceae in the Paris Basin.Published as part of Rio, Cédric Del & Franceschi, Dario De, 2020, Icacinaceae fossil fruits from three sites of the Paris Basin (early Eocene, France): local diversity and global biogeographic implications, pp. 17-28 in Geodiversitas 42 (2) on page 25, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2020v42a2, http://zenodo.org/record/369691
