Permanência de Walflan de Queiroz: uma leitura da obra O Testamento de Jó

Este trabajo tiene como objeto de investigación literaria la obra: O testamento de Jo , lanzada en 1965, por Walflan de Queiroz. El poeta norte-río-grandense ilustra a través de un conjunto de poemas su experiencia religiosa y metafísica a partir de la desgracia sufrida por el personaje bíblico Jo, desarrollando una estética de la soledad, de la pobreza y de la marginalidad. Según Alter y Kermode (1997), la poesía de Jo es asombrosa en su fuerza e inventiva. Se pretende demostrar que las poesías de Walflan de Queiroz poseen dos corrientes definidas: si, por un parte, se vinculan al tema de Jo, mon doux Job , como él escribió en un poema; por otra, diseminan una postura amorosa. Con el objetivo de situar al autor y a su obra, se discuten el contexto histórico y la agitación cultural en Río Grande do Norte en la década de 1960. La lectura de O testamento de Jo nos llevó a realizar inicialmente una comparación de la poética walflaniana con textos bíblicos para la construcción de una atmósfera mística en el libro. Enseguida, el abordaje de los poemas amorosos que retratan la imagen femenina presente de forma platónica o bajo el velo de la mitología, de los mitos de Orfeu y Eurídice, retomados por el poeta. En Walflan de Queiroz, el amor no se concretiza. Y el bardo escribe como los románticos y los simbolistas

Relação amorosa e tentativa de suicídio na adolescência : uma questão de (des)amor

Suicide rates have been rising all over the world. In Rio Grande do Norte state, a study carried out by Dutra (1999) investigated suicide rates among youngsters and found that in 1997 alone 244 cases of suicide attempt were registered. The author took an interest in studying this phenomenon among adolescents after reviewing Dutra s study and the technical literature on suicide. In addition to that, another topic caught her attention and raised new research questions: suicide attempts motivated by love, i.e., the end of a relationship, the fantasy of being abandoned by a partner. These have made the author to question how love manifested itself among adolescents and how it could become a reason for adolescents to give up their lives. Based on the data she analyzed and the research questions she developed, her research objective was to understand how adolescents who have attempted suicide because of love-related reasons have gone through this experience. The theoretical reference for the research was the Client-centered Therapy and more specifically, the construct self , according to Carl Rogers. The methodological strategy was inspired by the existential-phenomenological strategy. It used the narrative as a research instrument, inspired by the work of Walter Benjamim (1994) which was developed into a research strategy by Schmidt (1990). Four youngsters (three male and one female) have participated in this study. They have attempted suicide for love-related reasons during dolescence, when they were 12 to 18 years old. The interviews were recorded on cassette tapes, transcribed and literalized into narratives. The understanding of the narratives was based on the meanings that emerged from the youngsters speeches, as well as from the moments that touched the author. These moments highlighted the meaning of the experience of giving up life and the experience of love-based relationship as experienced by the youngsters. The study detected, among the adolescents who were interviewed, the existence of impulsiveness related to the suicide attempt. Also, the majority of the interviewees came from unstructured family backgrounds and had lost of one of their parents or had to face their parents divorce. The suicide was attempted by these youngsters through the ingestion of medicines. The research also revealed that the youngsters had regretted attempting suicide and felt guilty about it. With regards to their self-evaluation, the author observed that the youngsters had low self-esteem, negative perceptions about themselves and distorted views of themselves. These findings helped the author to reflect on the close relationship between the construct self and the suicide attempt. She also observed that a few factors, i.e., family context, education, social and cultural values, have influenced the way the youngsters perceived themselves . The results of this research confirm the idea that we have to understand the suicide attempt as a multi-determined phenomenon. This study contributed to the analysis and reflection on the factors that contribute to suicide attempts thus providing a foundation for the development of public health programs and policies to deal with this topic

O ciúme romântico atua como uma profecia autorrealizadora da infidelidade amorosa?

Muitos pesquisadores estudaram os fatores que podem contribuir para que um relacionamento amoroso se mantenha estável e tenha uma boa qualidade para ambos os parceiros. Duas das mais inquietantes preocupações que as pessoas têm no tocante aos relacionamentos amorosos são o ciúme e a infidelidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se há relação entre os dois fenômenos. Participaram deste estudo 45 casais heterossexuais, com média de idade de 24,6 anos, recrutados por meio de um anúncio colocado no site de uma universidade pública situada na cidade de São Paulo. Para avaliar o grau de ciúme dos participantes utilizou-se uma escala de mensuração para o ciúme romântico. Para avaliar a infidelidade dos participantes utilizou-se o Inventário de Comportamentos Relacionados à Infidelidade, confeccionado especialmente para este trabalho. Os resultados indicam que: (1) ainda que de forma fraca, o ciúme é um agente de profecia autorrealizadora para a infidelidade (r=0,25; 90gl; p<0,05) e (2) há uma associação para a infidelidade de cada um dos parceiros relacionada à infidelidade do outro parceiro (r=0,36; 45gl; p<0,05). Esses resultados indicam, portanto, que há uma relação direta entre o ciúme e a infidelidade.
