Breves considerações sobre figurativização em Gota D'água: ideologia e lugar social

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir alguns aspectos discursivos, mais especificamente, temas e figuras recorrentes em um trecho da peça Gota d’Água, de Chico Buarque e Paulo Pontes, estabelecendo algumas relações entre este texto dramático e o poema “Sobre o sentar-/estar-no-mundo” de João Cabral de Melo Neto. Dada a forma poética do texto teatral, escolhida pelos autores, nele habitam inúmeras figuras semióticas, ali existentes com o intuito de produzir ilusão referencial, uma vez que o discurso não é a produção do real, mas a criação de efeitos de realidade. O enunciador, para criar veridicção em seu trabalho, pode revestir temas como ordem social e amor, de figuras a fim de que seja estabelecido um contrato entre tal enunciador e um suposto enunciatário. Uma das figuras mais recorrentes na peça de Buarque e Pontes é a cadeira que, dentro de seu conjunto sêmico encobre, ao que parece, o tema da hierarquia e das classes sociais, do lugar social dos indivíduos e da própria busca do sujeito para encontrar o seu percurso de ser e estar no mundo; tal figurativização é reforçada pela leitura conjunta da peça e do poema de João Cabral de Melo Neto, que se mostram bastante semelhantes quanto ao tratamento da figura em questão. Palavras-chave: Actante; competência; figurativização; manipulação; performance; discurso.

O Teatro Fórum como dispositivo de discussão da violência contra a mulher

This article presents the results of a study that made use of the Theatre of the Oppressed, in its Forum Theatre form, to promote discussions and reflections on violence against women. This was achieved through a sketch about the theme shown to a group of recyclable material collectors from two towns in the interior of the State of São Paulo. In the Forum Theatre the spectators become actors/actresses and, through the activity, help to find a solution for the enacted conflict. The results of the study suggest that the Theatre of the Oppressed can be used as an important methodological procedure for research. In the field of Psychology specifically, this theatrical tool emerges as an alternative device in order to work with participative studies involving diverse themes and issues of a community, producing ruptures in hegemonic practices and discourses.

O corpo do malandro: um estudo sobre as relações entre cultura e processos de subjetivação

Nesta pesquisa estudamos as relações entre cultura e processos de subjetivação a partir da identificação das marcas da chamada cultura da malandragem tal como se expressa por meio da sensibilidade de uma obra de arte. Cartografamos na peça teatral “A ópera do malandro”, de Chico Buarque de Holanda, as marcas do movimento do corpo do malandro que nos permitem identificar a constituição de um princípio ético e de uma escolha estética ao transitar nas fronteiras da marginalidade e da legalidade estabelecidas no interior da cultura brasileira. Estudamos o “corpo” e o “movimento” em uma dimensão política situados na cultura. Para isso assumimos a concepção de cultura como um campo de materialidade configurada por forças em permanente tensão. Investigamos na “Ópera do Malandro” as configurações da subjetividade observando um corpo que aprende a dançar para “não dançar na vida”.

Petrological and geochemical evolution of the alkaline Valle Chico Massif, southeastern Uruguay

The Valle Chico Massif is a member of the Early Cretaceous alkaline magmatic suite of rocks distributed around the Parana Basin. Three magmatic associations are recognized: (1) the Plutonic Association, characterized by syenites, quartz syenites, and syenogranites; (2) the Volcanic Association, mainly composed of porphyritic quartz trachytes; and (3) the Porphyritic Dike Association consisting of rhyolites and trachytes. Judging by their geochemical behavior, the rhyolites exhibit a weak peralkaline affinity, and are genetically connected by progressive melting processes, whereas the other lithologies have a metaluminous nature, and are products of mineral fractionation. An enriched mantle of Transamazonian age, geochemically similar to OIB, is postulated as a possible source.

Activity of sesame leaf extracts to the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera : Formicidae)

Crude extracts of new and old sesame leaves (Sesamum indicum, Linaeus) obtained by a sequential process of extraction were tested through contact experiments to investigate their toxicity to Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel) workers. Methanol extract of old leaves was toxic to leaf-cutting ants at the lower tested concentration (20mg.ml(-1)). This extract was fractioned and their fractions were tested showing a toxic effect of the methanol fraction. The methanol fraction was fractioned again and the sub fraction responsible for worker's toxicity is composed of some sugars.

Substrate Preparation Behaviors for the Cultivation of the Symbiotic Fungus in Leaf-Cutting Ants of the Genus Atta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Our findings revealed two distinct patterns of substrate preparation: the pattern of leaf-cutting ants foraging on dicotyledons is marked by highly fragmented substrate resulting in a more advanced initial decomposition. The pattern of leaf-cutting ants harvesting grasses is characterized by large pieces of substrate, resulting in little initial decomposition. Ants foraging on both types of plants are apparently intermediary between the two patterns, although more similar to the patterns of those foraging on dicotyledons. Also, the behavior of scraping the substrate was described for the first time, it is very important for the removal of the epicuticular wax layer of the leaves helping the growth of the symbiotic fungus.

Attractiveness of Different Citrus Pulps to the Leaf-Cutting Ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

The most common control method Uses toxic baits consisted of dehydrated citrus pulp as carrier and attractant. However, the portion of the citrus fruit that is attractive to ants is still Unknown, despite its importance in chemical control. This study compared the attractiveness of different fruit parts of citrus pulps to Atta sexdens rubropilosa workers. Three treatments: pellets of industrial citrus pulp, albedo (mesocarp), and whole citrus pulp were offered randomly to ants and the removal of these substrates by workers was observed. Tie three pulps Were equally attractive to this species (F = 0.8033; p = 0.4633). Although the whole pulp included the epicarp, it was as attractive as the other treatments, possibly because, the material was heated during processing, eliminating any volatile substance that could repel ants.

House-infesting Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in a Municipality of Southeastern Brazil

In Brazil, since the studies on urban ants started only in the 1980's, the urban myrmecofauna is still poorly known. Therefore, we herein carried out a survey of the myrmecofauna associated with residences in the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo state, Brazil, with the aim of verifying the existing ant species and their dynamics, which may be used in pest management programs. For this survey, baits and manual collection were utilized in the peridomiciles and intradomiciles of 38 houses. 4,308 samples were obtained, 51% of which presented ants, from five subfamilies, 18 genera and 19 species. The predominant subfamily was Myrmicinae, with 8 species. The predominant species was Tapinoma melanocephalum. In the intradomicile, during the diurnal period, the most visited rooms were the kitchen and the living room; during the nocturnal period, the kitchen was the most visited room.

Relationship Between Population Size and Symbiont Fungus Culture Volume in Colonies of Acromyrmex balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

In order to quantify the population of Acromyrmex balzani Emery, 1890 nests and to verify whether the population dynamic of the colony is correlated with the symbiont fungus volume, the principal energy source of the colony, five nests located in grassland areas were evaluated. The nests were sprayed with neutral talcum powder to improve visualization and digging. The symbiont fungus and the entire population existent in the chambers were collected. The mean fungus volume and total nest population in excavated nests were, respectively, 74.76 ml and 1,095 individuals. Simple linear correlation analysis verified that the fungus volume grew proportionally to the number of individuals. Despite the correlation between fungus volume and population dynamic of colonies, the factors that determine this relationship are little known since other microorganisms live in association with the colony.
