Narciso no labirinto de espelhos: perspectivas pós-modernas na ficção de Roberto Drummond. -

Por meio de rica análise do trabalho do ficcionista mineiro Roberto Drummond, Maria Lúcia Outeiro Fernandes busca, neste livro, articular o trabalho do autor de Coca-Cola e guerrilha e O tecedor de vento com vários temas centrais da arte e da cultura contemporâneas. Explicitando os traços presentes na obra do escritor, Fernandes apresenta uma expressiva contribuição ao estudo dos procedimentos formais e posicionamentos ideológicos que permeiam grande parte da produção literária das últimas décadas do século XX, como o ecletismo de estilos, a metaficção historiográfica, o pastiche, a intertextualidade e o hiper-realismo. O deslocamento de fronteiras entre produção erudita e de massas também faz parte do foco da autora. Fernandes discute ainda as possíveis relações entre essas constantes e alguns problemas que emergiram na cultura ocidental principalmente a partir da década de 1960, como a morte da arte, o ocaso das vanguardas, o anti-humanismo, a sociedade do simulacro, a supervalorização da informação, o ceticismo em relação às utopias. São temas que, em Drummond, conduzem ao que a autora chama de perspectivas pós-modernas da ficção.

Sour taste and cold temperature in the oral phase of swallowing in patients after stroke

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of sour flavor and cold temperature on oral transit time during swallowing. METHODS: Participants were 52 subjects (28 male and 24 female) with ages between 50 and 80 years (median=66 years), after ischemic stroke involving right or left side damage and mild to moderate oropharyngeal dysphagia. Videofluoroscopy was performed to analyze the swallowing times. Each subject was assessed during swallowing of a paste consistency bolus offered in 5 ml spoons, with a total of four different stimuli (natural, cold, sour and sour-cold). After the exam, the oral transit time was measured using specific software. The oral transit time (starting at the beginning of the bolus movement in the mouth) and the total oral transit time (starting at the moment that the bolus is placed in the mouth) were measured. RESULTS: The association between sour and cold stimuli caused a significant decrease of oral transit time and total oral transit time. CONCLUSION: Sour flavor and cold temperature reduced oral transit time in stroke patients.

passagem de Drummond pelo fantástico

It is quite possible that the story “O Gerente” (1945), by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, is unknown to the Brazilian reader, who’s more familiar with his poetry. However, the peculiarity of its narrative language and the treatment given to fantastic awakening interest in the text, which challenges the possibilities of literary research. The humor, a trait more common in the poetry of Drummond, becomes a stylistic strategy with curious effects of meaning, as well as the structural aspects of the narrative. The fantastic, a category that Drummond has not cultivated, appears so unusual in his narrative. Our purpose is to analyze the discursive construction procedures for establishing differences between the traditional and the new paradigms of the fantastic. For this, we will seek to highlight the story fragments that allow the discussion of certain issues such as social conventions, the everyday, the feeling of love, the tension created between the comic and tragic.

Por uma educação dos sentidos: as realizações artísticas do diretor Luiz Fernando Carvalho

Director Luiz Fernando Carvalho’s artistic performances, specially the miniseries Hoje é dia de Maria (2005), A Pedra do Reino (2007) and Capitu (2008), target a true setting of commitment, preoccupation and conciliation towards its spectator’s education. And the purpose of this text is to talk about such reeducation of senses explored by Carvalho’s artistic performances.

A misosoginia medieval e seus ecos nos Lais de Maria de França

The Lais of Marie de France are a specific type of historical record about the medieval aristocratic society and enables us to decipher the hierarchies that govern the relationship between men and women in the period. As well explains Georges Duby, medieval society tends to present coated with a male character because, among other factors, its latent misogyny. Women were placed under male authority, convinced of their natural superiority , the men despised , mocked her sex , meanwhile feared them, after all, women were Eve’s daughters. So, Lais offer female images that cannot be ignored , since it express the author women’s idea. However , as we seek to demonstrate in this article, Maria of France reflects the representations of the Christian society aristocratic. One note here that this article does not aspire to reach the actual circumstances, but the historical significance of female images present in the Lais.

Risco da síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono em amostra populacional da cidade de Botucatu - SP

The most common sleep disorder is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), that is characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, resulting in partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. It is associated with systemic arterial hypertension and obesity. Objective: To assess the frequency of OSAS in the adult population of Botucatu by the Berlin questionnaire. Method: Transveral study was performed in which the sample size was estimated at 385 individuals. The Berlin questionnaire was administered to adults randomly on the streets, supermarkets and local shops. Data were analyzed taking into account age, gender, "high risk for OSAS", hypertension, obesity and correlations for OSAS. Results: 468 people interviewed were aged between 18 and 95 years, average of 59 years. 166 (35.25%) individuals were identified as "high risk for OSAS", being more frequent in the population above 40 years. Obesity was present in 23.3%, more common in women (60.2%). 83.5% of the population obese also had a "high risk for OSAS". Hypertension was observed in 27.3%, of these 71.9% were at "high risk for OSAS". Conclusion: The study showed a high frequency of "high risk for OSAS" in the adult population. Despite the dissemination by the media about sleep apnea, patients are not investigated, even under medical care for hypertension.
