“Meu caro Domingos” – as cartas de João Cabral para Domingos Carvalho da Silva / “My dear Domingos” – The Letters from João Cabral to Domingos Carvalho da Silva
No full textResumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um conjunto de cartas (inéditas) enviadas pelo poeta João Cabral de Melo Neto ao também poeta e editor Domingos Carvalho da Silva, procurando identificar e investigar as nuances e singularidades da perspectiva crítica em relação à então conhecida “Geração de 45”. A partir da conversa estabelecida entre os poetas nas cartas, e tendo em vista, portanto, a leitura e análise da correspondência passiva de Domingos Carvalho da Silva, em um período que abrange o final da década de 1940 até a década de 1960, é possível verificar a configuração de uma história paralela à já conhecida em torno dos “poetas de 45”, e perpassar todo esse período, ressignificá-lo na perspectiva de um pensamento que se faz, também, com a poesia.Palavras-chave: Poesia brasileira; geração de 45; correspondência; João Cabral de Melo Neto; Domingos Carvalho da Silva.Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present a set of unpublished letters sent by the poet João Cabral de Melo Neto to the poet, editor and critic Domingos Carvalho da Silva, seeking to identify and investigate the nuances and singularities of the critical perspective in relation to the then-known “Generation of 1945”. Based on the conversation established between the poets in the letters, and in view, therefore, of the reading and analysis of the passive correspondence of Domingos Carvalho da Silva, in a period that covers the late 1940s until the 1960s, it is possible to verify the configuration of a parallel story to that already known around the “poets of 45”, and to go through this whole period, to re-signify it from the perspective of a thought that is also made with poetry.Keywords: Brazilian poetry; generation of 1945; correspondence; João Cabral de Melo Neto; Domingos Carvalho da Silva

Gift Young Engineers: An Extra-Curricular Initiative for Updating Computer and Electrical Engineering Courses
No full textThe curricula of engineering courses are well defined by the central government for all Brazilian universities. Indeed, there are some mandatory determinations that must be fulfilled prior to the accreditation of any engineering course in Brazil. Modifications must be submitted for evaluation beforehand, resulting in a process that sometimes takes years to be approved. That is a secure way to guarantee that the fundamentals of each engineering program will be part of the students’ carrier all over the country, and at the same time a problem when you need to introduce new technological subjects. That poses a problem when you have new demands for technological curricular components that could express the actual state of the art of modern subjects. Trying to solve these issues some professors from the Federal University of Amazonas developed a flexible extra-curricular program for electrical and computer engineering courses, named Gift Young Engineers. This paper describes the philosophy of these extra-curricular programs. Some examples of successful particular partnerships are also discussed. Indeed the proposed training programs for Digital TV Systems (hardware and software) will be presented and analyzed in details. The obtained results will also be discussed in order to contribute to similar experiences worldwide
