Aikido: via para ascese marcial

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed in the 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba. This self defense art, as it is known, is trained around the world as a noncompetitive practice. This work aimed to investigate and circumscribe the history of this martial art presenting features of its singularity. Akido´s Cultural History was used as a theoretical approach to build the historical background. The work was divided in five chapters as respectively named and described: Japan´s historical contextualization - it seeks to show the changing processes that happened in Japan which were arising from the insertion of other cultures, and how that insertion led the country to modernize itself and turn into a great world power. The ancient art: Aiki Jujutsu Daitoryu - talks about this samurai martial art which ensured the Aikido to obtain as the source technique the aiki, and the Xintoist practice. The history of a master: Morihei Ueshiba - presents some defining facts and moments from the master Ueshiba´s history, which points both to the changes occurred in the country, and to the ones that led the master to justify and broadcast the martial art. Aikido: The Budo art - portraits the Aikido´s meaning and the way that it was built to present the Aikido as a Budo art. And to finalize, Martial asceticism - seeks to make the dialogue between the cultures, from the meaning of this chapter title words (martial asceticism), as well as to point facts from the contemporaneity which provoke reflections upon the present practice

Romance e filosofia

Análise dos modos de relacionamento históricos entre o romance e a filosofia e das conseqüências positivas e negativas desse fato. O ensaio sustenta que hoje, à época da indústria cultural e, portanto, do predomínio da literatura de entretenimento, essa relação tem se tomado prejudicial tanto para a filosofia como para o romance, favorecendo o aparecimento de romances destinados a nos fornecer a ascese mística ou intelectual. Nesse período, a relação positiva entre essas duas atividades migrou para a crítica literária de extração filosófica, a única capaz hoje de questionar a natureza social do romance.Palavras-chave: Romance e filosofia; crítica literária; romance e indústria cultural; crítica filosófico-literária.
