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

Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide in pressurized electrochemical cells
No full textTo limit the negative effect of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, an interesting approach is the utilization of Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC) methodology, which is focused on the use of CO2 waste as a feedstock to produce added-value products by using the excess electric energy from renewable source [1]. In this framework, an increasing attention has been devoted to the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid in water [2-3] or CO [1]. Since the main hurdle of the CO2 reduction from aqueous solution is the low CO2 solubility in water, in this work, the utilization of pressurized electrochemical cells is evaluated. The effect of various operating parameters, including pressure, current density, and flow rate, on the conversion of CO2 at tin flat cathodes is also presented and discussed.
