"The fertile uterus of the word": memory plots in Florentina Esteves
No full textA partir das noções de errância, prática de espaços, experiência e invenção, enquanto categorias analíticas, o presente artigo tem como foco a análise dos textos “Empreza” e “Beco-do-Mijo”, que fazem parte do livro Enredos da memória (1990), da escritora acreana Florentina Esteves. A perspectiva da abordagem se estrutura em torno da ideia de traçar um paralelo entre a escrita da história oficial da cidade de Rio Branco, na Amazônia acreana, e a escrita memorialística dessa autora, pontuando suas proximidades no universo do discurso amazonialista e seus distanciamentos na forma de tratar questões centrais relacionadas às origens da cidade e ao ordenamento dos corpos de determinadas mulheres e homens no âmbito de narrativas históricas, ficcionais e memorialísticas.Based on the concept of wandering, practice of spaces, experience and invention as analytical categories, this article focuses on the analysis of the texts "Empreza" and "Beco-do-Mijo", which are part of the book Enredos da Memória (1990), by the Acrean writer Florentina Esteves. The perspective of the approach is structured around the idea of drawing a parallel between the writing of the official history of the city of Rio Branco, in the Acrean Amazon, and the memorialistic writing of the author, emphasizing their similarities in the universe of the Amazonian discourse and their distances related to the origins of the city and the control of the bodies of women and men within the scope of historical, fictional and memorialistic narratives

No full textHere is something a bit exotic. I seem to have found this book of the poetry of Miguel Esteves Sagui during a Beast Fable Society conference in Venezuela in 1991. The best sense I can give of it comes from a review in The Americas, published by the Academy of American Franciscan History in 1984. I cannot establish the author of the review. In the second volume of the series, the editor presents fables by Miguel Esteves Sagui, a poet, lawyer, and a translator of classical Greek and Latin literature whose life spanned the years from independence to the end of the nineteenth century. The present volume introduces the contemporary reader to Sagui's fables and poetry -- some published here for the first time -- dealing with the law, the courts,and life along the steets and plazas of Buenos Aires in a style reminiscent of Aesop (264). As the closing T of C indicates, there are some fifty-six fables, besides two in an appendix.Language note: Spanish1000 copiesAntonio E. Serrano Redonne
Metric, proportion and light: modern sacred architecture in Brazil
No full textA pesquisa debruça-se sobre a arquitetura religiosa moderna produzida no Brasil, sua trajetória e seu processo de renovação ao longo do século XX, tendo a luz natural como o protagonista deste espaço e o uso das técnicas de proporcionamento na composição plástica das igrejas como eficazes em mobilizar a percepção humana. O objeto de estudo da presente pesquisa configura-se através da arquitetura religiosa produzida por personagens do Movimento Moderno no Brasil: Oscar Niemeyer, Edgar Guimarães do Valle, Dominikus Böhm, Gottfried Böhm, Adolf Franz Heep, Edgar Oliveira Fonseca, Joaquim Guedes, Hans Broos, Antônio Carlos Farias Pedrosa, Jerônimo Bonilha Esteves, Israel Sancovski e Carlos Alberto Naves. Numa delimitação histórica, restringe-se ao período entre 1940 e 1970, fase de implementação, assimilação e consolidação dos princípios modernos no Brasil. Através do estudo e análise das capelas e igrejas escolhidas, a pesquisa desvenda as formas pelas quais o arquiteto entendeu o conceito luminoso, o problema de medidas e de proporções e como isso se refletiu nas expressões e linguagens que envolvem a arquitetura. Para isso, o trabalho analisa treze obras. Os programas representativos dessa arquitetura a serem estudados serão capelas e igrejas católicas.The research focuses on modern religious architecture produced in Brazil, its history and its process of renewal throughout the twentieth century and the natural light as the protagonist of this space and the use of proportioning techniques in plastic composition of the churches as effective to mobilize human perception. The study object of this research is configured through religious architecture produced by Modern Movement in Brazil characters: Oscar Niemeyer, Edgar Guimarães Valle, Dominikus Böhm, Gottfried Böhm, Adolf Franz Heep, Edgar Oliveira Fonseca, Joaquim Guedes, Hans Broos, Antonio Carlos Farias Pedrosa, Jeronimo Bonilha Esteves, Israel Sancovski and Carlos Alberto Naves. In a historical definition, is limited to the period between 1940 and 1970, the implementation phase, assimilation and consolidation of modern principles in Brazil. Through the study and analysis of the chosen chapels and churches, the research reveals the ways in which the architect got the bright idea, the problem of measurements and proportions and how it was reflected in the expressions and languages that involve architecture. For this, the paper analyzes thirteen works. Representative programs of this architecture to be studied will be chapels and Catholic churches
Trajetória de uma expressão amazônica : o encanto do desencanto em Florentina Esteves
No full textDissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Letras, Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas, 2006.Este trabalho procura investigar a literatura de Florentina Esteves como um dos
desaguadouros da herança ficcional da região amazônica, em especial a da expressão contística do Acre. Para tanto, antes de chegar à análise da prosa da autora, são observados textos de autores que adotaram a planície verde como tema, tais como Inglês de Souza, Euclides da Cunha, Márcio Souza e Robélia Fernandes de Souza, entre outros. Com o fim de compreender a expressão literária regional do norte por esse prisma, aproximamos a discussão sobre as imagens poéticas e os recursos da memória ficcional, duas realidades que nos conduziram nessa trajetória. Como o objeto é composto essencialmente de contos, foi preciso lançar mão de pressupostos teóricos fundamentados na evolução estrutural do gênero, bem como das contribuições trazidas a esses textos pela oralidade.
_______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThis work intends to investigate the literature of Florentina Esteves as one of the fictional inheritance of amazonic region, in especial of Acre story expression. For, this, before getting to the prose analyses of the author, the texts are observed from other authors that adapted as the them such as Inglês de Souza, Euclides da Cunha, Márcio Souza e Robélia Fernandes de Souza, and many others. With the intent of comprehend the regional literary expression from the North using this vision, we keep closely of the discussion about poetical images in the studies of the memory, two realities lead us in this trajectory. As the object is complex specially in short stories, it was necessary to make use of theoretical presuppose based on the evolution of short story under the structural point of view, as well as the contributions brought to genre though the orality.Instituto de Letras (IL)Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas (IL TEL)Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatur
The power of peripheral governments : coping with the 1891 financial crisis in Portugal
No full textIn 1891 a financial crisis led Portugal to abandon the gold standard and to partially default by cutting interest payments on domestic and foreign debt. As a consequence, the country was banned from borrowing in international financial markets, until an agreement with foreign bondholders was reached in 1902. That financial crisis was the result of large current account and government deficits. Yet the abandonment of the gold standard and default were not imposed by financial difficulties only. This paper shows that such options were taken because of the growing domestic consensus regarding the need for a change in monetary policies. The concern about the domestic economy was more important to the Portuguese governments than the fear of a negative reaction of foreign bondholders. Insufficient information about the sustainability of government debt and lack of cooperation between borrowers left the Portuguese governments with space to manoeuvre according to their domestic political interest
A fundamentação da desobediência civil em uma teoria da justiça de John Rawls
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2009O caminho trilhado pelo autor, inicialmente, é uma reconstrução da concepção ideal de justiça, com breve aporte sobre o objeto e a ideia da justiça, apresentando breves comentários sobre a posição original, véu da ignorância e racionalidade das partes. Na parte que trata do dever e da obrigação analisa os princípios do dever natural, discute o dever de obedecer à lei injusta e conceitua a regra da maioria tão necessária para a justificação da desobediência civil. A desobediência civil é concebida apenas para o caso especial de uma sociedade quase justa, bem ordenada e que tenha o regime democrático. A desobediência civil é um ato político, público, não violento que tem o objetivo de provocar mudanças nas leis ou políticas do governo, que não estão respeitando o senso de justiça. Entende-se que a desobediência civil é o mecanismo de ultimo recurso para que se mantenha a estabilidade de uma Constituição justa. Embora ilegal, é altamente moral. Reconhecendo a aplicação da regra da maioria tem-se que o tribunal de última instância não é o judiciário, nem o executivo, nem o legislativo, mas sim o eleitorado como um todo. A desobediência civil é a via especial para convencer esse tribunal.The path taken by the author, initially, is a reconstruction of the ideal conception of justice, with a brief contribution on the object and the idea of justice, with brief comments on the original position, veil of ignorance and rationality of the parts. The part that treats the duty and obligation examines the principles of natural duty, discusses the duty to obey the unjust law and conceptualizes the majority rule so necessary for the justification of civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is conceived only for the special case of a society almost fair, well-ordained and having a democratic regime. Civil disobedience is a political, public, non-violent act to bring about changes in laws or government policies, which are not respecting the sense of justice. It is understood that civil disobedience is the mechanism of last resort in order to maintain the stability of a just constitution. Although illegal, it is highly moral. Recognizing the application of majority rule is that the court of last resort is not the judiciary or the executive or the legislative, but the electorate as a whole. Civil disobedience is the special way to convince this court

It differs from all other species of the genus in having a spiral <i>fovea amphidialis</i>, wider than long, here considered as a differential characteristic and unique for the genus.</p> <p> <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> The new species shares with <i>Acantholaimus arthrochaeta</i> Miljutina & Miljutin, 2012 the following features: the arrangement of the somatic setae along the body (4 sublateral longitudinal rows); dorsal tooth well developed and of similar length (5–6 µm in <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> and 6–7 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>). The largest of the four subventral teeth is also similar in length (5 µm in <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> and 3–5 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>). The length of the spicules (31–41 µm in <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> and 32 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>) and anal body diameter (20–38 µm in <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> and 21–34.5 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>) are also similar. However, <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> has distinct</p> <p> characteristics such as a longer body without the tail (839–1055 µm <i>vs</i> 582–804 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>), and lateral differentiation extending along the entire body (except filiform part of tail); while in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b> the lateral differentiation begins at the posterior border of the <i>fovea amphidialis</i>, extends over the pharynx until basal bulb level and is absent on the rest of the body. In <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> the pharynx forms a poorly developed bulb, whereas <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b> has a well-developed basal bulb; in the former, the anterior sensilla are jointed (inner labial sensilla bipartite, outer labial sensilla tripartite), whereas in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b> these structures are not jointed; and in <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> the somatic setae are sometimes clavate, whereas the new species has only setae of edged form. Furthermore, the testis occupies about 40–50% of the pre-anal body length, whereas in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b> it occupies about 25%. The spicules described for <i>A. arthrochaeta</i> are more curved, longer when measured along an arc (41–56 µm <i>vs</i> 36 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>).</p> <p> <i>Acantholaimus maks</i> Gerlach, Schrage & Riemann, 1979 shares with the new species features such as: the number of teeth in the buccal cavity (5), dorsal tooth well developed and of similar length (6 µm in <i>A. maks</i> and 6– 7 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>), diameter of the <i>fovea amphidialis</i> (11–14 µm and 11–13 µm <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>), as well as the percentage that this structure occupies in the corresponding area of the body (37–50% and 37–49% in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); and anal body diameter (27–45 µm and 24–35 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>). Yet, <i>A. maks</i> differs from <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b> in the following features: longer body without tail (1180–1307 µm <i>vs</i> 582–804 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); lateral differentiation absent; longer spicules along the chord (45–60 µm <i>vs</i> 32 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); and the testis occupying 40% of the pre-anal body length, whereas the corresponding structure occupies about 25% in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b></p> <p> The species of <i>Acantholaimus</i> first described from shallow water, <i>A. polydentatus</i> Gerlach, 1951 shares with the new species: the length of the cephalic setae (20–22 µm in <i>A. polydentatus</i> and 21–25 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); maximum diameter of the body (22–48 µm and 24–54 µm in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); index b’ (4–5 and 3–5 in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); ratio %v’ (70% and 63–73% in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>); and numerous somatic setae occurring over the entire the body except the filiform portion of the tail. However, these species differ in the shape and proportion occupied by the <i>fovea amphidialis</i> (50–70% in <i>A. polydentatus vs</i> 37–49% in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>) and the distance of this structure from the anterior end (5 µm in <i>A. polydentatus vs</i> 10–16 µm <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>). Moreover, in <i>A. polydentatus</i> the spicules are smaller (24 µm along the chord in <i>A. polydentatus vs</i> 31.5 µm along the chord in <i>A. marliae</i> <b>sp. n.</b>) and the gubernaculum is absent.</p>Published as part of <i>Manoel, Alex, Silva, Maria Cristina Da & Esteves, André M., 2017, First record of spiral fovea amphidialis in Acantholaimus (Chromadoridae: Nematoda), with a description of a new species from shallow sediments of the South Atlantic and an emended diagnosis of the genus, pp. 257-270 in Zootaxa 4258 (3)</i> on pages 259-266, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4258.3.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/569755">http://zenodo.org/record/569755</a>
