The concept of transculturality is used to reach a better – or at least different – understanding of the selected writers and their respective body of work.

Espaço e memória em o Vice-Cônsul de Marguerite Duras

No presente estudo pretendemos analisar o romance O Vice-cônsul, de Marguerite Duras, a partir dos temas memória e espaço, em que a relação entre esses temas perece ser desvendada à medida que percorremos a trajetória das principais personagens – mendiga, Anne-Marie Stretter e vice-cônsul. Nossa pesquisa faz também referência a diversas obras da autora – como O Amante, O deslumbramento de Lol V. Stein, Les lieux de Marguerite Duras, Boas falas: conversas sem compromisso – que servem de suporte a nossa análise, principalmente por que tais obras trazem à tona o universo literário durassiano que, em nosso entendimento, está vinculado às memórias da infância e da adolescência, fase que corresponde ao período passado na Indochina. Lugares e personagens, portanto, são constantemente reencontrados tendo suas histórias sempre utilizadas como matéria-prima para uma nova criação, negando inclusive qualquer fronteira entre as artes.

Evidence for tuberculosis in 18th/19th century slaves in Anse Sainte-Marguerite (Guadeloupe - French Western Indies)

During the American colonization in the 18th and 19th century, Africans were captured and shipped to America. Harsh living and working conditions often led to chronic diseases and high mortality rates. Slaves in the Caribbean were forced to work mainly on sugar plantations. They were buried in cemeteries like Anse Sainte-Marguerite on the isle of Grande-Terre (Guadeloupe) which was examined by archaeologists and physical anthropologists. Morphological studies on osseous remains of 148 individuals revealed 15 cases with signs for bone tuberculosis and a high frequency of periosteal reactions which indicates early stages of the disease. 11 bone samples from these cemeteries were analysed for ancient DNA. The samples were extracted with established procedures and examined for the cytoplasmic multicopy β-actin gene and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA (IS 6110) by PCR. An amplification product for M. tuberculosis with the size of 123 bp was obtained. Sequencing confirmed the result. This study shows evidence of M. tuberculosis complex DNA in a Caribbean slave population.
