Henry Walter Bates: um viajante naturalista na Amazônia e o processo de transferência da informação

A partir do século XVII iniciou-se na Amazônia toda uma movimentação de viajantes/naturalistas atraídos pela biossociodiversidade dessa região dominada por uma floresta tropical. Henry Bates (1825-1892), estudioso de história natural, foi um deles, tendo, porém, se deslocado para o Norte do Brasil entre os anos de 1848 e 1859. Nesse contexto, o presente paper tem como objetivo analisar o processo de transferência das informações produzidas por esse viajante naturalista após 11 anos de trabalho de campo. A partir do material bibliográfico reunido para esse fim, verificou-se que tal processo foi bem-sucedido, como evidencia a ampla circulação das obras publicadas por Bates. Transcorridos 156 anos dessa expedição, a produção científica de Bates continua a participar do circuito acadêmico de produção de conhecimento sobre a Amazônia na contemporaneidade, qual seja no campo da biologia, da zoologia, da sociologia, da história ou da antropologia.

Variação nômade: Henry Miller, filosofia e o combate contra o juízo

We discuss Henry Miller's novel Tropic of Cancer based on the concept of nomadism, as coined by Deleuze and Guattari. The relation between philosophy and literature is very productive for both. A phenomenon of dual capture between these two areas that is characteristic of a nomadic thinking: literature that engenders philosophy which, in turn, engenders literature, establishing connections, new relations between terms in a distinct nomad variation that dismisses the classical image of thought of its eminence: a perspective between philosophy and literature as form of discussing the nomadism in Miller's novel. Thus, the linkage between philosophy and literature aims to capture the Millerian paths on this new space of thought, which is achieved by giving up any origin, human or divine, and stands as productive thought that affirms the real in a combat waged against the faculty of judgment, or simply of Judgment, in all its forms.

Henry Radcliffe Sims Papers - Accession 9

The Henry Radcliffe Sims Papers consist primarily of personal and business correspondence and offers a good source of information on the Sims family's varied interests in South Carolina, especially their businesses in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The correspondence generally deals with Henry Sims' brief military career; his presidency at Winthrop; his efforts along with his brothers' help to establish a radio station at Orangeburg; his constant concern in the Sims Publishing Company; his interest in the political and educational welfare of his nephews; his devotion to his family; and his association with various South Carolina legislators. Areas of research would perhaps include, among others, biographical information on Sims and his family; their contributions to South Carolina, especially in the area of publications (ex. Times and Democrat’s historical development). There is also material relating to Sims’ nephew, Hugo Sims Jr., and the latter’s 1946 campaign for a seat in the South Carolina House of Representatives. Correspondents include Olin Johnston, Burnet Rhett Maybank, John T. Riley and Strom Thurmond.

A magia desencantada: Henry James e o caso de "Os amigos dos amigos"

Por meio do exame do conto "Os amigos dos amigos" ("The friends of the friends"), de Henry James, bem como de seu processo de criação, este trabalho investiga a categoria do duplo confrontando as suas fontes primitivas com sua adoção na narrativa moderna - um confronto que nos permite sugerir uma chave de interpretação para a ficção jamesiana, e ainda discutir a presença do sobrenatural numa sociedade que privilegia o espetáculo, a publicidade, a novidade, o consumo e o progresso.

Henry Melson Stommel : from pionner to clasic

[EN] Stommel has been the most important physicist oceanographer of the second half of the XX century. Builder, to a great extent, of the present Dynamical Oceanography. He contributed to the transformation of the Oceanography from a sort of appendix of the studies of the Atmosphere to a new specialty of Geophysics. After graduating in Astronomy in Yale in 1942 he started his research participating in the WWII effort, collaborating together with many other future oceanographers, in support of the USA Navy. Research that was carried out in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Between 1959 and 1978 he was professor of oceanography in Harvard U. first, and later in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, returning to WHOI where he stayed until his death. Stommel established important and fundamental theories on the ocean global circulation and studied many other oceanographic phenomena. This theoretical activity he combined with not a less important observational one. He received many awards and hhonors, including the Craadford prize, equivalent to the Nobel in Geosciences.
