    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta é uma etnografia de Descobrimento do Brasil (1937), de Humberto Mauro, um filme em preto e branco, de uma hora de duração, com poucos diálogos e percorrido de seu início ao fim por música de Villa-Lobos. Organiza-se a partir de dois principais eixos de investigação, quais sejam as técnicas de reprodução constituintes do cinema e o som, sobretudo a música, do filme. Descobrimento do Brasil passou por uma série de intervenções e restaurações, que garantiram sua preservação, mas que também, em alguns contextos, implicaram em dúvidas que põem em questão a legitimidade do filme que conhecemos hoje. Partindo dessas questões, a tese aborda as técnicas de reprodução que fundam a produção cinematográfica. Essas técnicas são tratadas como próprias ao mundo moderno, caracterizado pela falência da representação, ligada à perda da identidade e pelo advento do simulacro  repetição já incidindo sobre repetição, diferença sobre diferença. Articulando uma Antropologia da Técnica, busca-se produzir dados a partir da investigação dos processos de elaboração de som e música e de sua relação com a imagem em movimento. Para discutir hipóteses sobre possíveis intervenções sofridas pela trilha musical do filme e propor uma interpretação acerca das estratégias narrativas adotadas por Mauro, elabora-se um quadro de decupagem analítica, por meio do qual se busca constituir a partitura do filme. A tese também trata das quatro suítes de Villa-Lobos, igualmente intituladas Descobrimento do Brasil, que, supostamente, foram compostas para o filme. Descobrimento do Brasil é ainda abordado enquanto versão do mito da Descoberta do Brasil emergida em uma conjuntura particular, qual seja a Era Vargas, relacionando-se às trajetórias de seus criadores e às formas específicas com que eles respondem às possibilidades e políticas da época. Busca-se tratar dessas questões por meio das revisões biográficas de Humberto Mauro e de Villa-Lobos, também enfatizando como o filme é mediado por relações de poder constituintes do tempo. Assim, para descrever sua trajetória e seus ciclos de esquecimento e retomada, é desenvolvida uma discussão sobre concepções de tempo, tendo a oposição entre as compreensões do tempo como um ciclo, reversível, e como uma flecha, irreversível, como eixo de análise. Busca-se, com isso, demonstrar o caráter dinâmico do filme, que não apenas atravessa o tempo, mas o constitui de forma particular, nem cíclica, nem linear, mas espiral.Abstract : This ethnography addresses Humberto Mauro s Descobrimento do Brasil (1937), an one hour length, black-and-white motion picture that presents few dialogs and features music by Villa-Lobos from beginning to end. The ethnography is organized based on two axes of investigation: 1) the reproduction techniques constitutive of cinematography; 2) the motion picture s audio, above all its music. Descobrimento do Brasil underwent a series of interventions and restorations, which assured its preservation, but also, in some contexts, implied in doubts that question the legitimacy of the motion picture we know today. Having these questions as starting point, this doctoral dissertation addresses the reproduction techniques that base the cinematographic production. These techniques are understood as proper to the modern world, characterized by failure of representation, related to the loss of identity and the advent of the simulacrum  repetition already producing repetition; difference producing difference. Articulating an Anthropology of Technique, this study aims to produce data by the investigation of the processes of sound and music elaboration and its relation to the image in movement. In order to discuss hypotheses on possible interventions underwent by the soundtrack of the motion picture and also propose an interpretation regarding the narrative strategies adopted by Mauro, a frame of analytic decoupage is elaborated, aiming to constitute the musical sheet of the movie. This dissertation also addresses the four suites by Villa-Lobos, equally titled Descobrimento do Brasil, which were, supposedly, composed for the motion picture. Descobrimento do Brasil is also approached as version for the myth of the Discovery of Brazil which emerged in a particular conjuncture, the Vargas Era, also relating the trajectory of the creators and the specific ways they respond to that time s possibilities, policies and politics. This study aims to discuss these issues by reviewing biographic literature on Humberto Mauro and Villa-Lobos, also highlighting how this motion picture is mediated by time-constitutive relations of power. Thereby, in order to describe the trajectory of this motion picture and its cycles of forgetfulness and remembrance, this study discusses the conceptions of time, taking into consideration as axis of analysis the opposition between the notions of time as cycle, reversible, and time as an arrow, irreversible. Based on that, this thesis aims to demonstrate the dynamic feature of this motion picture, which not only crosses time, but constitutes it in a particular way: neither cyclic, nor linear, but spiral

    Europe and Brussels had a mutual dependency from the founding of the European Communities. This article explores the historic relation between local urban and the transnational development of post-war Europe. It ultimately raises the question to what extent there exists a dialogue between various actors involved to actively design and build the image of Europe in Brussels.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care.

    reservedIn questa trattazione i protagonisti saranno le piante, gli animali e i paesaggi emersi dall'analisi dei romanzi Mauro Corona . I romanzi dello scrittore sono stati analizzati in modo da poter creare una panoramica dei paesaggi presenti nelle sue opere. Dando una visione sia quantitativa che qualitativa, i luoghi e gli spazi vengono riportati in maniera dettagliata dal punto di vista fisico, della flora e della fauna, ma anche mostrando la connotazione più legata ad un punto di vista emotivo/soggettivo. L’autore nei suoi romanzi ci parla prevalentemente di un paesaggio montuoso, rurale, mostrandoci spesso i dettagli di alcuni spazi.In this discussion, the protagonists will be the plants, the animals and the landscapes. The novels by the writer Mauro Corona have been analysed in order to create an overview of the landscapes in his works. Giving both a quantitative and a qualitative view, the places and spaces are reported in detail from a physical, flora and fauna point of view, but also showing the connotation more related to an emotional/subjective point of view. In his novels, the author predominantly speaks to us of a mountainous, rural landscape, often showing us the details of certain spaces

    Tullio De Mauro e Emilio Garroni

    A study of the relationship between the work of Tullio De Mauro and that of Emilio Garroni would require lengthy research on their respective texts, in-depth theoretical reflection, and constant comparison with the Italian and international philosophical-cultural debate contemporary to them, with which they maintained a constant dialogue. Such investigation would also constitute an important chapter in the history of Italian culture from the second half of the 20th century to the present. Of this rich and articulated mosaic, a few individual tiles are considered here. To begin probing the “distance in proximity” that I believe characterizes the relationship between the two scholars, the essay in fact takes its cue from the different way of reading a passage from an author dear to both, paragraph 90 of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. A theoretical knot from which a dialogue unravels, sometimes explicit, sometimes subterranean, centered on the nature of “sense” in human experience and that of linguistic and philosophical (mis)understanding. Two often divergent perspectives emerge, but rooted in a deep ethical consonance

    Martin Vaz island geochronology: Constraint on the Trindade Mantle Plume track from the youngest and easternmost volcanic episodes

    No full text
    The oceanic basins are dotted by seamounts, guyots and islands formed by the mantle plumes and oceanic lithosphere interaction. These plumes are responsible for several intraplate volcanisms such as the Emperor-Hawaii Chain in the Pacific Ocean with a remarkable bend at ca. 47 Ma. Comparatively, the Vitória-Trindade Ridge (VTR) in the South Atlantic Ocean was also generated by a mantle plume and in response to the lithosphere interaction and tectonic settings it shows three remarkable bends through time. One occurred after 85 Ma associated with the Trindade plume tail movement under the Archean São Francisco Craton, and another one ca. 52 Ma after the formation of the Abrolhos Bank in the Brazilian platform (Mohriak, 1989; Thompson et al., 1998) when the Trindade Plume encountered a thinner lithosphere in the Brazilian coast and formed a chain of seamounts and islands of W-E direction. The last bend marked in the Trindade plume trajectory is ca. 20°00′lat, around Davis Bank, marking a Miocene (21.07 Ma - 40Ar/39Ar whole-rock method) subtle clockwise rotation in the South American Plate. The easternmost part of this ridge is composed of Trindade-Martin Vaz Archipelago subject of this study. Located ca. 1200 km away from the Brazilian coastline at the Vitória (ES) parallel, its geology is an important preserved record of an alkaline Pliocene-Pleistocene volcanism, the youngest one recorded in the Brazilian territory. Martin Vaz and the nearby islets are located on the easternmost part of the VTR. Its geological features include phono-tephritic to tephri-phonolitic domes; nosean-phonolitic dykes and sub-horizontal layers formed by pyroclastic rocks and subordinate lava flows (melanephelinites) of Volcanian-style magmatism (mostly). 40Ar/39Ar ages yielded values ranging from 336 to 721 ka representing a young and short period of intraplate magmatic activity in the South American Plate offshore. These new ages associated with compiled radioisotopic ages from onshore and offshore volcanic rocks represent a strong decreasing age correlation related to Trindade Mantle Plume. Moreover, Trindade-Martin Vaz Archipelago is a contemporaneous product of a terminal plume expression in the offshore portion of a long-lived track (ca. 90 Ma) with a slow shear velocity (VS) placing its origin at the Upper Mantle suggesting a shallow mantle plume rising from the asthenosphere.Fil: Santos, Anderson Costa dos.
