Pensando o Brasil: discurso religioso e prática social segundo Zilda Arns
Get PDFThe present article analyzes the performance of Pastoral da Criança, a CNBB (Brazilian Bishops National Conference) social action organization. Pastoral da Criança was founded in 1983 and was coordinated for almost thirty years by the pediatric doctor and catholic activist Zilda Arns Neumann (1934-2010). Focusing on Arns’ stated reasons to justify the creation of Pastoral da Criança and on her record of its first years of action, we want to demonstrate how she created a spirituality of action. Doing so, she managed to link private creed and public intervention in a time of crisis both in Brazilian political scene and in local Catholic ChurchPropõe-se aqui analisar a atuação da Pastoral da Criança, organização criada em 1983 e coordenada por quase três décadas pela médica pediatra e ativista católica Zilda Arns Neumann (1934-2010). Observar-se-á, para tanto, o discurso construído por Arns para justificar a fundação da citada Pastoral – bem como o inventário realizado por ela dos primeiros anos de sua atuação. Quer-se demonstrar como Zilda Arns forjou, com base em um universo religioso específico, determinada mística de ação social, ligando credo privado e intervenção pública
La tradición transfigurada: el Francisco de Asis de Leonardo Boff
Get PDFThis is an analysis of the image of Francis of Assisi constructed by the Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff (b. 1938) at a very tense juncture. It is a matter of discussing how, in the mid-1980s, the still Franciscan friar Boff responded to the disciplinary sanctions imposed on him by the Holy See, a reaction expressed in the book Francis of Assisi: Longing for Paradise. The work was written and published in 1985, during the so-called "obsequious silence" to which Friar Boff was subjected by Rome, due to alleged doctrinal deviations contained in the work Church, Charism and Power, launched years before and a milestone of Latin American Liberation Theology.Thus, in a context characterized by adversity, Leonardo Boff - not only prevented from making public statements, but also deposed from his university professorship and removed from the directorship of the largest Catholic publishing house in the country - wrote and had published the aforementioned Francis of Assisi: Longing for Paradise. At first sight, the book only revisits the well-known biography of one of the most admired saints of the Latin Church, both in Brazil and in the world, a positive reception among believers and non-believers alike. However, the exposition proposed by Boff goes beyond the mere celebration of the centuries-old legend associated with Francis of Assisi. Inspired by the earliest Franciscan sources, the Brazilian friar presents the medieval saint as an icon of Liberation Theology, a paradigmatic Christian for our time and a patron of popular causes. In other words: Friar Leonardo Boff, in the book at hand, made use of episodes recorded in the Franciscan canon - the miraculous divine revelation in the chapel of San Damiano; Francis' radical option for poverty and his assistential work with lepers; the mystical relationship with Clare di Offreduccio, from a noble family and desirous of living in simplicity; the "Sermon to the Birds"; the creation of the nativity scene in Greccio; the reception of the stigmata on Mount La Verna - to give to the Assisiense and to the movement he originated, meanings different from the pious and romantic readings so commonly associated with Francis.It follows that by interpreting the Poverello through Christian liberationist ideals, Boff contested his opponents, and also confirmed his militant theology. Finally, in Francis of Assisi: Longing for Paradise, Leonardo Boff proclaimed a project of opposition to the established order in Brazil and criticism of the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)Este artículo tiene como objetivo discutir cómo, a mediados de los años 80, el todavía fraile franciscano Boff respondió a las sanciones disciplinarias que le impuso la Santa Sede, reacción expresada en el libro Francisco de Assis: a saudade do Paraíso. La obra fue escrita y publicada en 1985, durante el llamado "silencio obsequioso" al que fue sometido Fray Boff por parte de Roma, debido a supuestas desviaciones doctrinales contenidas en la obra Iglesia, Carisma y Poder, lanzada años antes y un hito de la Teología de la Liberación latinoamericana.Así, en un contexto caracterizado por la adversidad, Leonardo Boff -no sólo impedido de hacer declaraciones públicas, sino también depuesto de su cátedra universitaria y destituido de la dirección de la mayor editorial católica del país- escribió e hizo publicar el mencionado Francisco de Assis: a saudade do Paraíso. A primera vista, el libro se limita a repasar la conocida biografía de uno de los santos más admirados de la Iglesia latina, tanto en Brasil como en el resto del mundo. Sin embargo, la exposición que propone Boff va más allá de la mera celebración de la leyenda secular asociada a Francisco de Asís. Inspirado en las primeras fuentes franciscanas, el fraile brasileño presenta al santo medieval como un icono de la Teología de la Liberación, un cristiano paradigmático para nuestro tiempo y un patrón de las causas populares. En otras palabras: Fray Leonardo Boff, en el libro que nos ocupa, se ha servido de episodios recogidos en el registro canónico franciscano: la milagrosa revelación divina en la capilla de San Damián; la radical opción por la pobreza de Francisco y su labor asistencial con los leprosos; la relación mística con Clara de Offreduccio, de familia noble y deseosa de vivir en la sencillez; el "Sermón a los pájaros"; la creación del pesebre en Greccio; la recepción de los estigmas en el monte Alverna - para dar a los asisienses y al movimiento que él originó, significados diferentes de las lecturas piadosas y románticas tan comúnmente asociadas a Francisco.De ello se deduce que, al interpretar el Poverello a través de los ideales cristianos liberacionistas, Boff ha desafiado a sus adversarios, confirmando igualmente su teología militante. Finalmente, en Francisco de Asís: Anhelando el Paraíso, Leonardo Boff proclamó un proyecto de oposición al orden establecido en Brasil y de crítica a la organización jerárquica de la Iglesia católica.
Propõe-se aqui análise da imagem de Francisco de Assis construída, em conjuntura bastante tensa, pelo teólogo brasileiro Leonardo Boff (n. 1938), Trata-se de discutir como, em meados da década de 1980, o ainda frade franciscano Boff respondeu às sanções disciplinares a ele impostas pela Santa Sé, reação expressa no livro Francisco de Assis: a saudade do Paraíso. Obra escrita e publicada em 1985, durante o chamado “silêncio obsequioso” ao qual Frei Boff foi submetido por Roma, devido a supostos desvios doutrinários contidos na obra Igreja, Carisma e Poder, lançada anos antes e marco da Teologia da Libertação latino-americana.Assim, em contexto caracterizado pela adversidade, Leonardo Boff – não apenas impedido de dar declarações públicas, também deposto de sua cátedra universitária e removido da direção da maior editora católica do país – redigiu e fez publicar o acima mencionado Francisco de Assis: a saudade do Paraíso. À primeira vista, o livro apenas revisita a conhecida biografia de um dos mais admirados santos da Igreja latina, tanto no Brasil como no mundo, recepção positiva essa verificada entre crentes e não crentes. Contudo, a exposição proposta por Boff vai além da mera celebração da multissecular legenda associada a Francisco de Assis. Inspirado nas fontes franciscanas mais primitivas, o frade brasileiro apresenta o santo medieval como ícone da Teologia da Libertação, cristão paradigmático para nosso tempo e patrono das causas populares. Em outras palavras: Frei Leonardo Boff, no livro em lume, valeu-se de episódios registrados na canônica franciscana – a milagrosa revelação divina na capela de São Damião; a opção radical de Francisco pela pobreza e seu trabalho assistencial junto aos leprosos; a relação mística com Clara di Offreduccio, de família nobre e desejosa de viver na simplicidade; o “Sermão aos Pássaros”; a criação do presépio, em Greccio; a recepção dos estigmas, no monte Alverne – para dar ao Assisense e ao movimento por ele originado significações diversas de leituras piedosas e românticas tão comumente associadas a Francisco.Resulta daí que, interpretando o Poverello por intermédio dos ideais cristãos liberacionistas, Boff contestou seus adversários, confirmando igualmente sua teologia militante. Por fim, em Francisco de Assis: a saudade do Paraíso, Leonardo Boff proclamou projeto de oposição à ordem estabelecida no Brasil e crítico em relação à organização hierárquica da Igreja Católica
OFÍCIO DAS TREVAS: Alceu Amoroso Lima na noite do arbítrio
Get PDFThis paper analyzes how the Brazilian intellectual Alceu Amoroso Lima (1893-1983) reacted to the issuing of the Institutional Act No. 5 and the resulting strengthening of the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil. I examine the daily letters that Amoroso Lima sent to his daughter, the Benedictine sister Maria Teresa, throughout the year of 1969. Through this dialog, Amoroso Lima tried to redefine his public persona as a Catholic layman leader in face of the challenges and urgent demands in a time of deep political crisis.O presente artigo analisa como o intelectual e líder leigo católico Alceu Amoroso Lima (1893-1983) reagiu à decretação do Ato Institucional número 5, que aprofundou o caráter autoritário de nossa última ditadura (1964-1985). Para tanto, serão examinadas as cartas diárias que Amoroso Lima endereçou à filha, a monja beneditina Maria Teresa, ao longo do ano de 1969. Tratava-se, para o mencionado intelectual, de reorganizar sua atuação pública à luz de sua fé e frente aos desafios e urgentes demandas daquele tempo de profunda crise. Ação esta para a qual o referido diálogo epistolar com Maria Teresa foi de fundamental importância
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
