Demolir os muros dos pátios: a escritura de Maura Lopes Cançado como máquina de guerra, em O sofredor do ver
No full textO título desta dissertação, Demolir os muros dos pátios: a escritura de Maura Lopes Cançado como máquina de guerra, em O sofredor do ver, abre a trajetória desta pesquisa que percorre o espaço liso da criação. A partir da leitura da obra da autora, Hospício é Deus e O sofredor do ver, foi possível traçar uma linha para este estudo, no qual a finalidade não é a chegada, mas, sim, o percurso. Centrando-me no O sofredor do ver, o livro de contos de Maura, recorro, principalmente, aos conceitos inventados por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari para afirmar a escritura da autora como uma máquina de guerra, por meio da qual ela se desterritorializa dos espaços de confinamento e se reterretorializa em um outro espaço: o literário. Nesta trajetória, constatei, e não foi surpresa, que os fatos biográficos da autora repercutem na recepção, pesquisas e críticas sobre a sua obra. Desse modo, a autora é novamente silenciada e confinada à loucura, o que desmerece a sua potência como autora. Maura Lopes Cançado não pode ser reduzida a uma escritora louca, ou a uma louca escritora. Maura, como autora, pede voz nesta trajetória – um percurso de dois corpos, o meu e o dela, é também atravessado por outros corpos, inclusive pelos leitores desta pesquisa. Façamos um rizoma. O(s) Eu(s) se desfaz(em)The title of this research, Demolish the courtyard walls: the scripture of Maura Lopes Cançado as a war machine, in O sofredor do ver, opens the path of this research that walks the smooth space of the creation. By reading the work of the author, Hospício é Deus and O sofredor do ver, it was possible to trace a line for this research, in which the aim is not the finishing line, but the path. Focusing on O sofredor do ver, the book of tales of Maura, I resort, mainly, to the concepts invented by Giles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to affirm the scripture of the author as a War machine, by which, through the writing, she deterritorializes herself from the spaces of confinement by reterritorializing in another space: the literary. In this trajectory, I noticed, and it was not a surprise, that the biographical facts of the author reverberate in reception, researches and critics about her work. Thus, the author is again silenced and confined to madness, which diminishes her potency as an author. Maura Lopes Cançado can not be reduced to a crazy writer, or a mad person. Maura, as an author, asks for voice in this trajectory - a path of two bodies, mine and hers, is also crossed by other ones, including the readers of this research. We make a rhizome.

“Hacer nuestra la existencia de un vacío”: el entramado intertextual de Los girasoles ciegos como instrumento de cohesión entre las cuatro “derrotas”
No full textThis article aims at tracing a map of the complex intertextual geography that can be detected in Alberto Méndez’s Los girasoles ciegos, a cycle of four interconnected short stories articulated upon the compromise of the author towards the celebration in contemporary Spain of a shared mourning. Entirely shaped in the transgenerational elaboration of an (extra)fictional system of confrontation with the collective trauma of the Spanish civil war and post-war period, the collection emphasises the –sometimes evident, some other secluded– connections among four stories of historical winners or losers of the conflict, who come to be all equally defeated by it. Through a careful journey through the intertextual crossroads which transversally join the four parts of the book, the argumentation will devote itself to the analysis of the implications, meanings and effects of a presence of the “alien” text which seems at the same time overwhelming, fascinating and loaded with implications.
Keywords: Alberto Méndez, Los girasoles ciegos, intertextuality, postmemory, ultracontemporary Spanish literature.Este artículo pretende dibujar un mapa de la compleja geografía intertextual que se aprecia en Los girasoles ciegos de Alberto Méndez, una colección de cuatro cuentos entrelazados que hace del compromiso del autor con la celebración en la España contemporánea de un duelo compartido su bandera narrativa. Enteramente centrada en la elaboración transgeneracional de un sistema (extra)ficcional de confrontación con el trauma común de la guerra civil española y de la primera postguerra, la obra enfatiza los lazos de conexión –a veces manifiestos, a veces ocultos– entre cuatro historias de vencedores y vencidos que resultan todos, inexorablemente, derrotados por el conflicto. A través de un viaje puntual por las encrucijadas intertextuales que unen transversalmente los cuatro cuentos, se intentará analizar las implicaciones, los significados y los efectos de una presencia del texto “otro” que resulta a la vez abrumadora, fascinante y cargada de significados
Fase 12. Le ricostruzioni delle case. Casa 9, pp. 63-100; Fase 15. Terze modifiche edilizie. Casa 9, pp. 133-144
No full textIl volume ‘Palatium e sacra via II’ presenta i risultati degli scavi condotti alle pendici settentrionali del Palatino tra il 1985 e il 1990, nel settore immediatamente adiacente all’arco di Tito. La fase considerata è quella che va dall’epoca tardo – repubblicana all’epoca proto – imperiale, quando il quartiere era occupato da ricche domus private. L’Autrice tratta della più grande tra queste dimore aristocratiche, caratterizzata dalla presenza di un vasto piano ipogeo in cui trovano posto un edificio termale e oltre trenta stanze di piccole dimensioni, ciascuna dotata di un letto e di una latrina, che probabilmente erano celle per alloggiare gli schiavi. Secondo le ipotesi formulate nell’ambito di questo studio, questa domus potrebbe essere identificata con la casa di M. Aemilius Scaurus il giovane, personaggio noto dalle fonti letterarie, e in particolare per le numerose citazioni nella Naturalis Historia di Plinio il Vecchio (si veda altra voce bibliografica dell’Autrice).The volume ‘Palatium e sacra via II’ presents the results of the excavations conducted between 1985 and 1990, at the northern foot of the Palatine hill, in the area immediately adjacent to the Arch of Titus. The chronological phase considered is the one that goes from the late – Republican era, until the proto – Imperial era, when the district was occupied by wealthy private domus. The Author studies the largest of these aristocratic houses, characterized by the presence of a vast underground floor, in which there are a bath complex, and over thirty small rooms, each equipped with a bed and a toilet, to be probably identified as the cells for the slaves. According to the assumption made in this study, this domus should be identified with the house of M. Aemilius Scaurus the Young, a well-known Roman politician, often mentioned in the literary sources, and in particular by Pliny the Elder in the Naturalis Historia (see other entry of bibliography of the Author)
La riscoperta del principio di solidarietà
No full textIl contributo mette in rilievo l’importanza, per l’interesse della comunità, del principio di solidarietà in campo sociale, politico ed economico. L’analisi è inoltre dedicata alla legislazione in materia, anche relativa al terzo settore, e ai principali orientamenti dottrinali e giurisprudenziali. Secondo l’autrice oggigiorno la solidarietà e le limitazioni delle libertà imposte per motivi contingenti possono offrire un importante contributo per superare l’emergenza sanitaria di rilevanza internazionale dovuta alla pandemia da Covid-19.The paper highlights the importance of the solidarity in the social, political and economic field in the community interest. The analysis is focused on the legislation of these areas and on the principal approaches of scholars and case-law, with a glimpse at the third sector and at the divorce allowance. According to the Author, the solidarity and the restrictions of our fundamental freedoms enforced because of the contingent situation, contribute to overcome the international health emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic
A escrita de Maura Lopes Cançado: um contraponto com a (des)articulação da linguagem do louco
No full textThis doctoral thesis aims to research and analyze the literary writing by Maura Lopes Cançado, with the assumption that exist relationship between literature and madness. The writer's works, Hospício é deus and O sofredor do ver, show aspects that particularize Maura's narrative and language the narrative that locate the writer in fracture with your time. Within the conception of "contemporary" of Giorgio Agamben, Maura inscribes her in the condition of disconnected, eccentric writer, in disagreement with her time. Privileging the theme of madness, the reading of her works promotes possible links between the life and the work of the author, hospice patient, setting the activity of Maura's literary creation, simultaneously, as place of memory, of denunciation, of resistance and experience’s bending. The postulates of thinkers such as Maurice Blanchot, Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, Flora Sussekind, Michel Foucault, Erving Goffman and others support this reflection. Once the Maura's writing shows in its elaboration the structure and the theme of violence, repression and pain, giving voice to a community closed in hospice, the manifestation gives a testimonial content in his works, whose approach will by the studies Jaime Ginzburg and Márcio Seligmann-Silva.Esta tese de doutorado se propõe a pesquisar e a analisar a escrita literária de Maura Lopes Cançado, tendo como pressuposto a relação entre literatura e loucura. As obras da escritora, Hospício é deus e O sofredor do ver, evidenciam aspectos que particularizam a narrativa e a linguagem de Maura, posicionando-a como uma escritora em fratura com o seu tempo. Dentro da concepção de “contemporâneo” de Giorgio Agamben, Maura se inscreve na condição de escritora desconexa, excêntrica, em desacordo com o seu tempo. Privilegiando a temática da loucura, a leitura de suas obras promove articulações possíveis entre a vida e a obra da autora, paciente de hospício, caracterizando a atividade da criação literária de Maura, simultaneamente, como lugar de memória, de denúncia, de resistência e de exercício de dobra. Os postulados de pensadores como Maurice Blanchot, Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, Flora Sussekind, Michel Foucault, Erving Goffman e outros fazem mediação para a reflexão. Uma vez que a escrita de Maura apresenta em sua elaboração a estrutura e a temática da violência, da repressão e da dor, que dá voz a uma coletividade encerrada no hospício, confere-se a manifestação de um teor testemunhal a suas obras, cuja abordagem se fará mediante os estudos de Jaime Ginzburg e Márcio Seligmann-Silva
Interview with the author
No full textA change has come to popular media. Every day, we are digitally invited into the homes and
lives of the creators whose work we love. We are pushed to become attached to them as we
become attached to their work. How can we as viewers healthily interact with the creators whose
work we enjoy, and how can we as creators healthily interact with the people that enjoy our
work? How intimate can we become? How intimate should we become? What harm can we do to
each other? Interview with the Author is a visual novel that asks its players to engage with these
questions while taking the role of web columnist Reed Knightly as they interview science fiction
author Arthur Wright. Stemming from a semester-long inquiry into the subject of parasocial
relationships, Death of the Author, and the intersection of the two theories, Interview lets its
players can ask Arthur a variety of questions related to topics like their professional work, their
fandom, and their time as a fanfiction writer. The answers they receive dynamically shift
depending on the player’s perceived interest or disinterest in parasocial connections between
authors, readers and fictional characters. Interview represents a continued exploration of the
subject of communication in my work, and of the way individuals and constructs build
connections with one another.Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg
Maura Lopes Cançado: anatomy of an indomitable writing
No full textA escritora mineira Maura Lopes Cançado escreveu apenas dois livros, ambos escritos a partir de experiências em internações psiquiátricas e publicados nos anos 1960: Hospício é deus: Diário I (1965) e O sofredor do ver (1968). Ligada aos movimentos vanguardistas do período e influenciada por pensadores ocidentais que questionaram a racionalidade burguesa, Maura traça de modo experimental uma trajetória única que, em muitos momentos, se encontra com a noção de literatura do filósofo francês Michel Foucault, que publica o seu primeiro livro, A História da Loucura, sua tese de doutorado, no início dessa mesma década, e cujo pensamento será, a partir de então, fortemente marcado pela leitura de autores literários. Desvendando e identificando essas coincidências e ligações, a presente pesquisa busca levantar hipóteses para a escrita de novos textos literários, como experiência de linguagem e com origem na vida de um corpo.Maura Lopes Cançado, from Minas Gerais, wrote only two books, both born from experiences in psychiatric hospitalizations and published in the 1960s: Hospício é deus: Diário I (1965) and O sofredor do ver (1968). Linked to the avant-garde movements of the period and influenced by Western thinkers who questioned the bourgeois rationality, Maura traces an experimental and unique trajectory that, in many moments, meets the notion of literature of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who published his first book, The History of Madness (1961), his doctoral thesis, at the beginning of that same decade, and whose thought was strongly marked by literature author\'s reading. Unraveling and identifying these coincidences and connections, the present research aims to raise hypotheses for new literary texts writing, as language experience with origin in a body\'s life
<i>Teorema</i>: una parabola tra film e romanzo
No full textPier Paolo Pasolini’s Teorema stands out as an example of originality and complexity, due, above all, to its genesis and to the “double” intersemiotic translation which has been carried out. In fact, the peculiarity of this work (conceived as a drama in 1966, but soon abandoned in favor of this dual version) is its concurrent development in two parallel ways: the cinematic one and the literary one. Two different languages and two visions of the same object as well.
The adopted forms intertwine and mix together, thus constituting a whole. Although they keep their structural and organic autonomy, the examination of both is fundamental to fully understand the author’s theorem.
Pasolini, by means of narrative form, tried to give life not only to a story, but rather to an event, a parable, an exemplum. In short he wanted to depict a miracle. The author himself, also, claimed the impossibility to handle in a realistic and mimetic way a novel centered on a middle class/bourgeois reality.
Our goal is to demonstrate how the author forces cinematographic and literary conventions with the aim of describing a peculiar allegory of the Italian society; in doing this we focused primarily on the analysis of characteristic features pertaining to the different codes used
Narratives and images from professional practiceto promote non formal adult learning in agriculture: a case study
No full textAbstractAccording to the American Psychological Association a case study is a paper inwhich “the author describes case material obtained while working with an individualor organization to illustrate a problem, to indicate a means for solving a problem or toshed light on needed research or theoretical matters” (APA, 2001: 8-9).Within this framework the study here presented – developed within the framework ofthe Leonardo da Vinci project Tas for Agriform - focuses on the educational andtraining impact of narratives of professional practice in non formal adult learningcontexts for agricultural entrepreneurs and documents the process of construction,development, implementation and evaluation of a non formal educational and trainingmethodology based on the use of narratives and images of professional practice. Theproject is specifically targeted to agricultural farmers who need to becomeentrepreneurs, considered as a particularly difficult target of adult learners for age,culture, personality.According to these premises, the paper addresses in particular the following twoESREA issues “what is the impact of auto/biographical, biographical and life historyresearch in the field of lifelong learning, education, in the lives of subjects and in theresearcher's relationship to his/her knowledge”; “what is the place of informal andtacit knowledge in learning lives and doing research- situating them in the frameworkof educational research on professional development and training, in a lifelonglearning perspective”
