Denunciando os males do comunismo: o anticomunismo na revista Seleções Reader's Digest (1950-1960)
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em HistóriaEste trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o anticomunismo na revista Seleções do Reader´s Digest, nas décadas de 1950 e 1960, quando emergiu uma nova onda de temor comunista, em decorrência da socialização da Revolução Cubana. A partir desse acontecimento, esta revista passou a empreender uma campanha de denúncia, advertindo sobre o "perigo vermelho" que ameaçava a América Latina, agindo em consonância com um discurso anticomunista dominante e liderado pelos Estados Unidos. Nos embates que envolveram a disputa pela hegemonia mundial, no período da Guerra Fria, foi utilizada como valiosa aliada na divulgação da ideologia do american way of life
¿Reader´s digest?
Get PDFA los medios de comunicación no les agrada que los critiquen. Un diario o una revista puede ir de la euforia triunfalista y la afiebrada omnipotencia de la tinta, a la bancarrota y el olvido, sin pasar jamás por una sola jornada de autocrítica. En esta edición nos dedicamos a castigar sin misericordia a medios y profesionales en casi todos los rincones del planeta. En esta sección de Autocríticas y Contrapuntos le toca el turno a Chasqui

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The transnational and the local on Reader\'s Digest and Seleções: gender relations in The United States and in Brazil
No full textEsta tese analisa duas revistas de variedades, a norte americana Readers Digest e a brasileira Seleções do Readers Digest, entre os anos de 1939 e 1971. Ambas as revistas tinham como fundamento editorial a seleção e a reprodução condensada de artigos publicados em outros periódicos impressos. As publicações compõem importantes fontes de pesquisa para a percepção de elementos transnacionais entre os dois países, isto é, aquilo que era escolhido como possível para ser reproduzido em cada uma das nações, fazendo circular temáticas de maneiras distintas, a depender principalmente de contextos locais. O objetivo da análise se concentra nas relações e representações de gênero que circulavam entre Estados Unidos e Brasil, com foco no modo como a mulher é apresentada e mobilizada em diferentes situações, atentando para a forma como os periódicos, ao levarem em consideração as perspectivas locais, foram capazes de dialogar e propor papéis determinados em distintos contextos sociais e políticos. A pesquisa procura também compreender a difusão de um discurso pautado na compreensão de uma classe média universal, atentanto-se para a forma como as revistas apresentaram temas como a família, o controle de natalidade e a participação política como elementos norteadores para se atingir tal propagação. Pretende, por fim, apontar a forma como grupos subalternizados e de contestação como, por exemplo, os movimentos pelos Direitos Civis e de mulheres, foram negativamente apresentados nas páginas dos periódicos, enquanto os mesmos reforçavam tipos considerados modelares de conduta por seus editores.This thesis analyzes two variety magazines, the North American Reader\'s Digest and the Brazilian Seleções do Reader\'s Digest, among the years of 1939 and 1971. Both magazines were based on the selection and condensed reproduction of articles published in other printed periodicals. The publications make up important sources of research for the perception of transnational elements between the two countries, that is, what was chosen as possible to be reproduced in each of the nations, circulating themes in different ways, depending mainly on local contexts. The purpose of the analysis focuses on the gender relations and representations that circulated between the United States and Brazil, focusing on the way women are presented and mobilized in different situations, paying attention to the way in which the magazines, taking into account local perspectives, were able to dialogue and propose specific roles in different social and political contexts. The research also seeks to understand the diffusion of a discourse based on the understanding of a \"universal middle class\", considering the way these magazines presented topics for instance family, birth control and political participation as guiding elements to achieve such propagation. Finally, it intends to point out how subalternized groups and of contestation, such as the movements for Civil Rights and women, were negatively presented in the pages of the periodicals, while they reinforced types considered behavioral by their editors
St George: patron saint of England?
No full textThis paper considers the literary heritage of St George as National Patron. It explores the legend with which he is most identified (the slaying of the dragon) in terms of Christian allegory. However, George was not an obvious choice for national patron and so the paper surveys other possible candidates and how George has been used and exploited as a cohesive and authoritative force by the monarchy.
There is a legend significantly earlier than the medieval legend of the dragon; this paper analyses the tradition of the martyrdom legend from the beginning of the fourth century and addresses the earliest example of fighting “the dragon”.
It has been argued that such a vague saint should not have achieved such an importance status and his survival must be because his name has been attached to an older tradition. Thus the paper follows the roots of traditions associated with St George though the writings of religion and mythology, before tracing them down through English folklore to some surprising literary descendant
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
