Frenético e melodrama: os vampiros de Polidori e Nodier

Charles Nodier foi um dos grandes responsáveis pela divulgação do romance gótico ou roman noir na França, o qual passou a denominar “frenético”, remetendo ao exagero que caracterizaria esse tipo de literatura. No início do século XIX, no romantismo francês, uma intensa circulação estabelece-se entre o frenético e o melodrama em um intercâmbio de autores, motivos e procedimentos literários. A partir de 1820, o melodrama instala-se no sobrenatural, sobretudo com Le vampire de Nodier, composto em colaboração com Jouffroy e Carmouche; esse melodrama, adaptado do texto de Polidori, The vampire, publicado em 1819, harmoniza-se com o retorno de popularidade por que passa o gothic novel. Essa união do frenético ao melodrama deixa ver duas tendências literárias bastante fecundas no romantismo francês, que se irmanam ainda no sentido em que respondem aos anseios de um público fatigado por séculos de racionalismo e ávido por toda a espécie de sensações e sentimentos.

Crime, medo e percepções de insegurança

O artigo é produto de três pesquisas de vitimização realizadas em Marília/SP, entre os anos de 2001 e 2008, com o objetivo de conhecer a dinâmica do crime sob a ótica da vítima real (objetiva) e captar os sentimentos de medo do risco “potencial” da população (vítima ou não). O primeiro caso – vítima real – constitui um instrumento auxiliar ao desenvolvimento de programas de prevenção mais eficazes por abranger, inclusive, os crimes subnotificados. De modo geral, os resultados contribuirão para a compreensão de alguns aspectos da dinâmica criminal, da relação entre a polícia e a comunidade, da percepção do medo e da sensação de (in)segurança.

O sensacionalismo na visão poética de Álvaro de Campos

Trata-se de um estudo sobre a poética do heterônimo Álvaro de Campos, expressão artística de Fernando Pessoa, voltado para a compreensão do mundo moderno, dominado pela tecnologia. O centro desta poética é encontrado no processo de intelectualização das sensações, visto como meio quer de autognose quer de compreensão da realidade. This is a study on the poetics of the heteronym Álvaro de Campos, Fernando Pessoa’s artistic expression concerned with the understanding of the modern world dominated by technology. The centre of this poetics is found in the process of intellectualization of sensations, which is seen as means either of self-knowledge or of understanding of reality

O concerto para viola e orquestra de Antônio Borges-Cunha: forma e interpretação

This article has as object of study the Concerto for Viola and Orquestra by Antonio Borges-Cunha. We investigated the work by observing its formal structure. This resulted in data which were relevant to the understanding of the work itself and to decisive procedures in its interpretation. These data were then applied to specific issues in the area of performance, by means of a process whereby the sensations of movement and direction were delineated. This investigation discusses interpretation and the queries regarding the paths which performers can choose in their quest for positive results in expressivity. It is a study specifically geared to the area of performance and, in a broader sense, serves composers that are interested in the performer's contribution to the creative process of a work.

Clinical aspects of envenomation caused by Tityus obscurus (Gervais, 1843) in two distinct regions of Para state, Brazilian Amazon basin: a prospective case series

Background: Scorpion envenomations are a major public health problem in Brazil, whose most dangerous cases are attributable to the genus Tityus. This study was designed to compare the clinical and demographic features of envenomations by Tityus obscurus in two areas of the state of Para located in the Amazon basin. Were compared demographic findings, local and systemic signs and symptoms of human envenomations caused by T. obscurus that occurred in western and eastern areas of the state.Results: Forty-eight patients with confirmed envenomation by T. obscurus were evaluated from January 2008 to July 2011. Most of them came from the eastern region, where male and female patients were present in similar numbers, while males predominated in the west. Median age groups were also similar in both areas. Most scorpion stings took place during the day and occurred significantly more frequently on the upper limbs. The time between the sting and admission to the health center was less than three hours in both areas. Most eastern patients had local manifestations while in the west, systemic manifestations predominated. Local symptoms were similar in both areas, but systemic signs and symptoms were more common in the west. Symptoms frequently observed at the sting site were local and radiating pain, paresthesia, edema, erythema, sweating, piloerection and burning. The systemic manifestations were significantly higher in patients from the west. Futhermore, neurological symptoms such as general paresthesia, ataxia, dysarthria, myoclonus, dysmetria, and electric shock-like sensations throughout the body were reported only by patients from the west.Conclusion: The present study shows that two regions of Para state differ in the clinical manifestations and severity of confirmed envenomation by T. obscurus which suggests a toxicity variation resulting from the diversity of T. obscurus venom in different areas of the Brazilian Amazon basin, and that T. serrulatus antivenom can be successfully used against T. obscurus.

Phenomenology of OCD: Lessons from a large multicenter study and implications for ICD-11

This study aimed to investigate the phenomenology of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), addressing specific questions about the nature of obsessions and compulsions, and to contribute to the World Health Organization's (WHO) revision of OCD diagnostic guidelines. Data from 1001 patients from the Brazilian Research Consortium on Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders were used. Patients were evaluated by trained clinicians using validated instruments, including the Dimensional Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, the University of Sao Paulo Sensory Phenomena Scale, and the Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale. The aims were to compare the types of sensory phenomena (SP, subjective experiences that precede or accompany compulsions) in OCD patients with and without tic disorders and to determine the frequency of mental compulsions, the co-occurrence of obsessions and compulsions, and the range of insight. SP were common in the whole sample, but patients with tic disorders were more likely to have physical sensations and urges only. Mental compulsions occurred in the majority of OCD patients. It was extremely rare for OCD patients to have obsessions without compulsions. A wide range of insight into OCD beliefs was observed, with a small subset presenting no insight. The data generated from this large sample will help practicing clinicians appreciate the full range of OCD symptoms and confirm prior studies in smaller samples the degree to which insight varies. These findings also support specific revisions to the WHO's diagnostic guidelines for OCD, such as describing sensory phenomena, mental compulsions and level of insight, so that the world-wide recognition of this disabling disorder is increased.

Sensibilização: experimentações com imagens manipuladas digitalmente

Based on sound and video synesthetic possibilities, we seek for the same possibilities on drawings and photographs by treating these in image editing softwares. The resulting montages of this final college work tend to manifest and evoke sensations in which all the human senses work as ways of understanding significations

Quando o lírico e o narrativo se encontram em Nuno Júdice

Nuno Judice’poetry has a peculiar discourse, whose devices of construction mixe poetry and prose in order to eliminate the borders between the two kinds of language. The Classical tradition is a constant reference in his poetry, by means of the imagery and the allegory in which some Greek myths are mentioned. Nevertheless, the context of modernity from which the poet Nuno Judice emerges put together the dimensions of space and time so as it is impossible to separate them. In this paper we analyse two poems extracted from the book As Regras da Perspectiva (1990) and our purpose is to discuss some literary questions as the metalanguage, the sensations, the lyric subjectivity, the narrative trends, the special meanings and the forms of the world.

Arte e filosofia como disciplinas das multiplicidades: problema filosóficos e problemas estéticos em interferência intrínseca, segundo Deleuze

The most challenging Deleuze/Guattari’s lesson regar- ding art is that it is an autonomous way of thinking and bears of no lack relatively to philosophy and science. In fact, creating artistically is thinking. Throughout this article, I will try to show that art and philosophy are autonomous modes of thinking, as far as the statute of their creations is multiplicity. The multiplicity that characterizes philosophy is concept; the multiplicity that characterizes art is sen- sation. Both of them have their multiplicity character guaranteed by the instance of the problems, to which they are solutions. The most important is that the problems although independent constitute in- terference channels through which two modalities of meeting could happen. First, sensations point out how could a thinker endures in the instance of problems, avoiding both to deprive the concept and to fall in philosophical illusions. In second place in the instance of the problem philosophy and art exchange, so that either a thinker takes an art sensation and extracts from it its generating problem to be philosophically solved or, vice-versa, an artist takes a concept and solves its problem creating new art sensations.
