Narrative art and act in the fourth gospel: aspects of the Johannine point of view
No full textThis thesis assumes that the narrative form of the Fourth Gospel is important for understanding the Gospel's meaning. Narrative is a communicative transaction whereby meaning is transmitted from author to reader via the way the story is told. Meaning is also established by overt speech-acts, and the 'act' performed in the overall structuring of the story. It arises within a context of rule-governed speech behaviour which determines parameters and implications that inform understanding. The Gospel's narrative form meets with readers' conventional expectations about how it relates to ostensive historical reality. Factors internal and external help determine genre. Part one examines aspects of the Gospel's narrative art. The way in which the narrative situation varies over the course of the narrative is outlined. The implied author manipulates the narration to create a close association in the reader’s mind between the narrator and the beloved disciple. In John 3 the voice of the narrator merges with those of Jesus and John. These strategies have implications for the Gospel's theological meaning and the relationship of the implied author to the story world. Speech-act theory elucidates the narrative act by which the implied author conveys the Gospel's message and seeks to induce belief in the reader. Part two considers the Gospel's relationship to historical reference. Factors which influence a decision as to whether or not the Gospel is to be taken as fictional are examined, for example, whether aspects of the narration suggest fictional discourse and whether the speech-acts operate within a 'pretended' world. Descriptive categories for the Gospel as natural narrative and 'display text' are proposed, as is a flexible model of genre, which modulates the poles of 'fiction' and 'history'. An analysis of the Temple Cleansing pericope provides illustration of the Gospel’s status as an historically-based, theological display text
Variations on the Author
No full text“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

Fluorescence Proteomic Technology to Analyze Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Chronic Chagas Disease
No full textThe thiol moieties of cysteinyl residues in proteins undergo a number of modifications including nitrosylation, oxidation, persulfidation, sulfenylation, and others. These protein modifications may influence gain as well as loss of function in biological and disease conditions. Herein, we describe a quantitative approach that combines accurate, sensitive fluorescence modification of cysteinyl-S-nitrosyl (SNOFlo) groups that leaves electrophoretic mobility unaffected and offers the measurement of changes in S-nitrosylation (SNO) status relative to protein abundance. This approach has been useful in evaluating the global protein abundance and SNO profile of Chagas seropositive individuals that were categorized in clinically asymptomatic (C/A) and clinically symptomatic (C/S) subgroups and compared to normal healthy (N/H) controls. Through analyzing the proteome datasets with different bioinformatics and statistics tools, potential pathologic mechanisms in disease progression are identified. We also propose a panel of protein biomarkers that have a potential to identify the infected individuals at risk of developing clinical Chagas disease.Fil: Wiktorowicz, John E..

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

John Cage e a poética do silêncio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaEsta tese se propõe a analisar o silêncio a partir da obra de John Cage (especialmente a literária e a musical). Esse silêncio, inicialmente compreendido por Cage como um empírico (a pausa em música), revela-se gradualmente um transcendente: não mais uma substância nem a simples ausência de som, mas um modo da ação (modo de silêncio), aparecendo como estilo, profundidade, aura, dimensão, verticalidade, densidade. Esse silêncio implica modos de percepção e temporalidade próprios, descritos aqui a partir das noções de Gelassenheit (Heidegger) e Awareness (Gestalt) e estabelecendo conexões com as noções de Invisível em Merleau-Ponty e de Nada no Zen-budismo

Advertising his new book, While Peter sleeps (Washburn, New York). Setting down belief that the Catholic church is in dire need of reform and that abuses need to enter public platform. Wishing for sane education in religion, abolition of the menace element in church laws, decentralisation; he commented on the Mungret Case and even raised the question of women priests. His book will prove provocative for many; priest readers have recommended it if cautioned the author, including Fr. O'Flanagan; there was praise from Upton Sinclair. (No covering letter extant.
