    “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

    L’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

    This paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n.

    Resumen: Daniela Parisi analiza el impacto de la vida de San F rancisco de Asís desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento económico. Haciendo referencia particularmente a la atención otorgada en los círculos franciscanos a los signos de los tiempos, la autora traza el camino desde la vida de San Francisco, pasando por la vida de la Orden hasta el presente, y revela los orígenes del movimiento franciscano como un intento de reforma social y religiosa. En primer lugar, el artículo presenta la vida que llevó San Francisco como una “pobreza material voluntaria” en el contexto de los cambios socio-económicos que tuvieron lugar en el siglo XIII, con el advenimiento de la sociedad comercial. Luego, explica cómo la propuesta de San Francisco creció hasta convertirse en una orden religiosa. Finalmente, el artículo intenta iluminar aquellos aspectos en que la Orden Franciscana puede todavía considerarse un signo de los tiempos a través de una existencia comprometida con la pobreza, eliminando lo superfluo de nuestra vida y viviendo en consonancia con el Evangelio.Abstract: Daniela Parisi analyses the impact of the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, from the perspective of the history of economic thought. By referring in particular to the attention given in Franciscan circles to the signs of times, the author draws the path from Saint Francis’s life to the life of the Order until the present, and reveals the origins of the Franciscan movement as an attempt for social and religious reformation. First, the article presents St. Francis’s life of a “voluntary material poverty” in the context of the social and economic changes that took place in the XIII century, with the rise of the commercial society. Then, the author explains how St. Francis’ proposal grew into an Order. Finally, the article aims at illuminating the aspects in which the Franciscan Order can be still considered a sign of the times by living the commitment to poverty and minority, eliminating the superfluous from our lives and living close to the Gospel

    This paper presents micromorphological observations of the only two Albeluvisol chronosequences to have been reported in the international literature so far. These observations are combined with existing profile morphological and soil chemical data in order to identify the major processes involved in the development of Albeluvisols. The study area is located in the counties Vestfold and Østfold on the western and eastern sides of the Oslofjord, S Norway. The region is characterized by continuous glacio-isostatic uplift over the Holocene, and hence the age of the land surface increases continuously from the beach towards the higher elevations. Twelve soil pits in loamy marine sediments were investigated, six each in Vestfold and Østfold; in addition, three samples of fresh sediments were taken from the shoreline. Results of this study suggest that as soon as the land surface is raised above sea level, drainage of the coarse pores and aeration of the upper part of the young soils leads to five major processes: i)development of deep desiccation cracks, forming a polygonal pattern; ii)compaction, taking place as soon as the land surface reaches an elevation above sea level that leads to drainage of the coarse pores; iii)pyrite oxidation, releasing sulfuric acid; iv)rapid decarbonatization of the originally calcareous sediments through carbonate dissolution by acids from pyrite and iron oxidation; v)precipitation of iron hypocoatings and coatings in the capillary fringe. The next morphological change, also taking place within less than 2.1 ka, is horizon differentiation into Ah, Eg and Btg horizons due to the limited water permeability of the fine-textured sediments. Eg horizons, for example, become lighter in colour with time. The process leading to the next morphological change in the soil profiles is clay illuviation, which is also already present in the 2.1 ka-old soil. Soil pH in the upper part of the E horizon of this soil is already too low for significant clay mobilization. Clay illuviation is still active in all soils studied, but the upper boundary of the clay mobilization zone is at 20-50 cm depth. Progressive clay illuviation is recorded by the increasing thickness of clay coatings and proportion of voids having clay coatings. Clay mobilization and iron co-eluviation in the upper parts of the Eg horizons cease within less than 2.1 ka, whereas weathering and formation of clay minerals and iron oxides continue, leading to formation of a BE horizon in the upper part of the Eg horizon. Albeluvic tongues start to form after 4.6-6.2 ka. They develop preferably along the desiccation cracks. Albeluvic material is washed into the cracks, and enhanced leaching of bases and clay eluviation takes place in the cracks. As both processes proceed, the albeluvic tongues get longer and wider. Clayey intercalations occur in the Stagnic Albeluvisols of the sequence, and the following concept is suggested to explain their genesis: after snow melt or a rainy period infiltrating water arrives at the lower end of an albeluvic tongue, the tongue fills up with water, and perched water also accumulates on top of the dense Btg horizon. Water, carrying suspended clay, penetrates under pressure from the tongue into the Btg horizon, where additional clay is mobilized. The clay settles when the velocity of the water decreases, forming clayey intercalations in the dense matrix of the Btg horizon.Este trabajo presenta las observaciones micromorfológicas de las dos únicas cronosecuencias de Albeluvisoles recogidas en la bibliografía internacional hasta el momento. Estas observaciones se combinan con datos previos de morfología y propiedades químicas de los perfiles con el fin de identificar los procesos más importantes que han tenido lugar durante su desarrollo. La zona de estudio está localizada en los condados de Vestfold y Østfold, al oeste y este del Oslofjord (S Noruega), y ha estado sujeta a un levantamiento glacio-isostático continuo a lo largo del Holoceno. En consecuencia, la superficie del terreno es cada vez más antigua desde las zonas de playa hacia las áreas más elevadas. Se investigaron doce suelos sobre sedimentos marinos de textura franca, seis de ellos en Vestfold y otros seis en Østfold. Además se tomaron tres muestras de sedimentos frescos en la línea de costa. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que, en cuanto la superficie del terreno se eleva por encima del nivel del mar, el drenaje de los poros más gruesos y la aireación de la parte superior de los suelos jóvenes da lugar a cinco procesos principales: i)el desarrollo de grietas poligonales con fuerte desecación; ii)una compactación, producida cuando la superficie del terreno alcanza una determinada elevación por encima del nivel del mar que causa el drenaje de los poros más gruesos; iii)la oxidación de pirita, que produce ácido sulfúrico; iv)una rápida decarbonatación de los sedimentos carbonatados originales a través de la disolución de carbonato por los ácidos producidos a partir de la oxidación de pirita y hierro; v)la precipitación de revestimientos e hiporrevestimientos de hierro en la franja capilar. El siguiente cambio morfológico, que se produce también en menos de 2,1 ka, es la diferenciación de horizontes de tipo Ah, Eg y Btg debido a la limitada permeabilidad hidráulica de los sedimentos de textura fina. Los horizontes Eg adquieren un color más claro con el tiempo. El proceso que da lugar al siguiente cambio morfológico en los perfiles de suelo es la iluviación de arcilla, también observada en el suelo que tiene 2,1 ka. En este suelo, el pH en la parte más superficial del horizonte E es todavía demasiado bajo para que se produzca una significativa movilización de arcilla. La iluviación de arcilla todavía se produce en todos los suelos estudiados pero el límite superior de la zona de movilización de arcilla se encuentra a una profundidad entre 20 y 50 cm. La progresiva iluviación de arcilla se refleja en un aumento del espesor de los revestimientos de arcilla y de la proporción de poros con revestimientos de arcilla. La movilización de arcilla y la co-eluviación de hierro en las partes más superficiales de los horizontes Eg cesa en suelos con menos de 2,1 ka, mientras que la meteorización y formación de minerales de la arcilla y óxidos de hierro continúa, dando lugar a la formación de un horizonte BE en la parte más superficial del horizonte Eg. Las lenguas albelúvicas aparecen tras 4,6-6,2 ka y se desarrollan preferentemente a lo largo de las grietas de desecación. El material albelúvico se lava hacia las grietas y en ellas se produce un aumento de lavado de bases y la eluviación de la arcilla. A medida que ambos procesos progresan, las lenguas albelúvicas se hacen más largas y anchas. Las intercalaciones arcillosas se producen en el Albeluvisol Estágnico de la secuencia. La génesis propuesta es la siguiente: cuando tras el deshielo o algún periodo húmedo, el agua que se va infiltrando alcanza la parte inferior de una lengua albelúvica, la lengua se llena de agua y el agua colgada se acumula también sobre la parte superior del horizonte Btg denso. El agua, cargada de arcilla en suspensión, penetra bajo presión desde la lengua en el horizonte Btg, donde se produce una movilización adicional de arcilla. La arcilla se va acumulando cuando la velocidad del agua disminuye, formando intercalaciones arcillosas en la matriz densa del horizonte Btg.Este trabalho descreve observações micromorfológicas relativas às duas únicas cronosequências de Albeluvisols até agora referidas na literatura internacional. Estas observações foram combinadas com os dados existentes sobre o perfil micromorfológico e caraterísticas químicas do solo de forma a identificar os principais processos envolvidos na formação dos Albeluvisols. A área de estudo situa-se nos condados Vestfold e Østfold no lado ocidental e oriental do Fiorde de Oslo, Noruega S, e caracteriza-se por uma contínua elevação glacio-isostática durante o Holoceno. Desta forma, a superfície terrestre vai ficando continuamente mais velha a partir da costa em direção às maiores elevações. Investigaram-se sedimentos marinhos de doze poços argilosos seis em Vestfold e seis em Østfold; Para além disso, recolheram-se três amostras de sedimentos frescos da linha costeira. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que, assim que a superfície terrestre se eleva acima do nível do mar, a drenagem dos poros grosseiros e o arejamento da parte superior dos solos jovens conduz a cinco processos principais: i.desenvolvimento de profundas gretas obedecendo a um padrão poligonal; ii.compactação assim que a superfície terrestre se eleva acima do nível do mar que conduz à drenagem dos poros mais grosseiros; iii.oxidação da pirite com libertação de ácido sulfúrico; iv.descarbonatação rápida de sedimentos originalmente calcários através da dissolução dos carbonatos pelos ácidos libertados pela pirite e oxidação do ferro; v.precipitação de hipocamadas de ferro e de camadas da franja capilar. A alteração morfológica seguinte que ocorre também a menos de 2,1 ka, é a diferenciação de horizontes em horizontes Ah, Eg, e Btg devido à limitada permeabilidade de água dos sedimentos de textura fina. Os horizontes Eg vão-se tornando mais claros com o tempo. O processo que conduz à seguinte alteração morfológica nos perfis do solo é a iluviação de argila, que já é também observada nos solos com 2,1 ka de idade. O pH na parte superior do horizonte E nestes solos é já demasiado baixo para provocar a mobilização de argila. A iluviação de argila está ainda ativa em todos os solos estudados, encontrando-se o limite superior da zona de mobilização de argila em 20-50 cm de profundidade. A iluviação progressiva de argila regista-se através do aumento da espessura dos revestimentos de argila e proporção de orifícios com revestimentos de argila. A mobilização de argila e a co-eluviação de ferro na parte superior dos horizontes Eg cessam a menos de 2,1 ka, enquanto as intempéries e formação de minerais de argila e de óxidos de ferro continuam, levando à formação de um horizonte BE na parte superior do horizonte Eg. A formação de línguas de Albeluvic começam a observar-se após 4,6-6,2 ka. Desenvolvem-se preferencialmente ao longo das gretas. O material Albelúvico é lavado nas gretas conduzindo a uma maior lixiviação de bases e a eluviação de argila tem igualmente lugar nas gretas. À medida que ambos os processos prosseguem as línguas albelúvicas tornam-se mais longas e mais largas. Ocorrem incrustações argilosas nos Stagnic Albeluvisols da sequência sugerindo-se o seguinte conceito para explicar sua génese: quando após o derretimento da neve, ou um período chuvoso, a água de infiltração atinge a extremidade inferior de uma língua albelúvica a língua preenche-se com água e a água superficial acumula-se também no topo do denso horizonte Btg. A água, que transporta a argila suspensa, penetra sob pressão da língua no horizonte Btg, onde se verifica uma mobilização adicional de argila. A argila pára quando diminui a velocidade da água, formando incrustações argilosas na densa matriz do horizonte Btg
