Significados corporificados: uma análise da definição de arte de Arthur C. Danto

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar a resposta de Danto ao problema da natureza da arte. Para isso, investigaremos o modo como ele utiliza os experimentos dos indiscerníveis, tanto para objetar as teorias tradicionais da arte como para erigir sua definição; e filosofia da arte, o que pode ser chamado, respectivamente, de tarefa negativa e tarefa positiva do uso do método dos indiscerníveis. A primeira parte desse trabalho se ocupa da tarefa de investigar justamente como os experimentos dos indiscerníveis são usados para objetar as teorias mimética, formalista, expressivista, institucionais, da atitude estética, e, por fim, a teoria da indefinibilidade da arte. A segunda parte trata de demonstrar como Danto, através dos experimentos dos indiscerníveis, extrai as condições necessárias e suficientes de sua definição de arte. A terceira e última parte deste trabalho analisa a relação existente entre a definição da arte e a filosofia da história da arte de Danto, principalmente a tese acerca do fim da arte.

Sentidos em construção no arquivo Arthur Ramos: deslocamentos, classificação, indivíduo e autoria

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar o arquivo pessoal de Arthur Ramos, intelectual que teve uma destacada participação nos debates sobre a democracia racial e na institucionalização das Ciências Sociais no Brasil nas décadas de 1930 e 1940. Através de seu acervo, custodiado pela Divisão de Manuscritos da Fundação Biblioteca Nacional, procurou-se perceber quais processos sociológicos que podem incidir sobre a formação do patrimônio documental, além das estratégias de construção e re-elaboração desta memória. Foram debatidas as teorias e práticas da arquivista para mapear diferentes formas de deslocamentos, ressignificação e reclassificação dos arquivos em geral e desse caso particular. Para isto, foram analisados o processo de compra do fundo Arthur Ramos, os relatórios de atividades, o inventário analítico do fundo, além de entrevistas informais.

Um Gavroche entre a política e a sociedade: teatro de Arthur Azevedo (1891-1898)

Arthur Azevedo viveu uma época de mudanças. Nascido em São Luís do Maranhão, em 7 de julho de 1855, na Corte, como tantos outros jovens provincianos daquela época. No Rio de Janeiro, foi jornalista, escritor, funcionário público e destacado autor teatral. Testemunhou a passagem do Império à República, fazendo desse conjunto de acontecimentos, matéria e cenário para suas crônicas, contos e peças teatrais, em especial, em suas Revistas de Ano. Partindo do conceito de cultura política, tal como foi formulado por Serge Bernstein, pretende-se analisar a produção de Arthur nos anos subseqüentes à mudança do regime, à luz do contexto social e teatral experimentado pelo autor, articulando suas escolhas políticas e a cultura da época à obra por ele deixada.

La Ictiología Argentina en Imágenes: II-SigloXX (1900-1950).

ProBiota genera este modesto documento con el propósito de compartirlo con el “Universo ictiológico” y con aquellos que investigan y describen la historia de la ciencia regional. Estas imágenes del pasado y presente de la ictiología nacional conforman un testimonio dirigido al futuro. Aunque, como dijo James Joyce: - No hay pasado ni futuro, todo fluye en un eterno presente -

A new distributional record of Astropecten polyacanthus Muller and Troschel, 1842 (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) from the coastal waters of Pakistan

Previously an asteroid starfish Astropecten indicus has been described by Tahera (1996), and another species of the genus Astropecten i.e. A. polyacanthus Muller and Troschel, 1842 has been collected from the subtidal region of a sandy shore of Clifton (24°47'42"N 66°59'6"E), Karachi. The latter species is here reported for the first time from the Pakistan coast of the northern Arabian Sea and fills the gap in the known distribution. The species is briefly described and illustrated.

Pharmacotherapy optimization in older patients by a structured clinical pharmacist assessment and intervention

Introduction: Older individuals are particularly vulnerable to potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP), drug related problems (DRPs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). A number of different interventions have been proposed to address these issues. However to-date there is a paucity of well-designed trials examining the impact of such interventions. Therefore the aims of this work were to: (i) establish a baseline PIP prevalence both nationally and internationally using the STOPP, Beers and PRISCUS criteria, (ii) identify the most comprehensive method of assessing PIP in older individuals, (iii) develop a structured pharmacist intervention supported by a computer decisions support system (CDSS) and (iv) examine the impact of this intervention on prescribing and incidence of ADRs. Results: This work identified high rates of PIP across all three healthcare settings in Ireland, 84.7% in the long term care, 70.7% in secondary care and 43.3% in primary care being reported. This work identified that for a comprehensive assessment of prescribing to be undertaken, an amalgamation of all three criteria should be deployed simultaneously. High prevalences of DRPs and PIP in older hospitalised individuals were identified. With 82.0% and 76.3% of patients reported to have at least one DRP or PIP instance respectively. The structured pharmacist intervention demonstrated a positive impact on prescribing, with a significant reduction MAI scores being reported. It also resulted in the intervention patients’ having a reduced risk of experiencing an ADR when compared to the control patients (absolute risk reduction of 6.8 (95% CI 1.5% - 12.3%)) and the number needed to treat = 15 (95% CI 8 - 68). However the intervention was found to have no significant effect on length of stay or mortality rate. Conclusion: This work shows that PIP is highly prevalent in older individuals across three healthcare settings in Ireland. This work also demonstrates that a structured pharmacist intervention support by a dedicated CDSS can significantly improve the appropriateness of prescribing and reduce the incidence of ADRs in older acutely ill hospitalised individuals.

REVOLUTIONARY VIOLIN LITERATURE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE PERIOD OF THE 20TH CENTURY, 1900-1970

In satisfaction of requirements for a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the University of Maryland, College Park, three recitals were given consisting of works of the early 21st Century European composers. The works performed on these recitals showcase a variety of compositional styles that explore different qualities of the violin. The purpose of this project was to demonstrate how the war and conflict in Europe and attendant radical cultural and social developments affected these composers. The first recital program includes: Sonata for Violin and Cello and Piece en Forme de Habanera by Maurice Ravel; Op. 30 Mythesfor Violin and Piano by Karol Szymanowski; Concertina for Violin and Piano and Sonata No.2 for Violin Solo by Grazyna Bacewicz. The second recital program consists of: Sonata for Violin and Piano by Leos Janacek; Quartet for the End of Time: movement VIII "Louange a l'Immortalite de Jesus" by Oliver Messiaen; Sonata for Solo Violin by Erwin Schulhoff; and Passacaglia & Fuga for String Trio by Hans Krasa. The third recital highlights the works of Russian composers: Sonata for Violin and Piano Op.134 by Dmitri Shostakovich; and Violin Sonata No.2 in D major Op. 94 by Sergei Prokofiev. These composers represent individual, distinct and fascinating adaptation to events beyond their control as well as their power of transformation. The first recital was performed in collaboration with Hsiang-Ling Hsiao on piano and Gozde Yasar on cello. The second recital was given with Hsiang-Ling Hsiao on piano, Gozde Yasar on cello, and Asli Gultekin Ozek on viola. The third recital was performed with David Ballena on piano. The recitals were recorded on compact discs and are archived within the Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM).
