As contribuições de Júlio Pires Porto-Carrero à difusão da psicanálise de crianças no Brasil nas décadas de 1920 e 1930

The ideas related to the psychoanalysis of children began to be disseminated in Brazil in the 1920’s, by professionals connected to medicine and education. Therefore, the present article aims showing the contributions of Julius Pires PortoCarrero in the introduction of ideas referred to psychoanalysis of children in Brazil from 1920 to 1930, focusing on education. Through bibliographic research all of the author´s work that used psychoanalytic ideas to discuss themes related to education were identified. The conclusions indicate that, in agreement with new educational proposals emerged in the country in the 1920s, the author devoted himself to spread psychoanalytic concepts among educators, assuming that a better understanding of the child based on psychoanalysis could support its development and also the learning process. Besides conferring social legitimacy to psychoanalysis, this initiative has enabled the arising of a more comprehensive practice in child psychoanalysis.

Zaira de Bittencourt Martins: pioneira da psicanálise de crianças no Rio Grande do Sul

The objective of the present article is to introduce Zaira de Bittencourt Martins’s contributions to psychoanalysis in Rio Grande do Sul, identifying her as pioneer in child psychoanalysis in this State. Starting from a historic research based on interviews with psychoanalysts, bibliographical sources and contacts with relatives, the author composed a biographical outline of the psychoanalyst above mentioned. Zaira Martins, together with her husband, the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Mario Martins, immigrated to Argentina in 1944, and in 1947 was recognized as an analyst by the Argentinian Psychoanalytic Association. On her return to Brazil she became the first non physician woman to make part of the Psychoanalytic Society of Porto Alegre, collaborating with her foundation, in 1963. She played the pioneer role as child psychoanalyst and contributed in the dissemination of Kleinian ideas in her State. She also contributed in the formation of young analysts who were beginners in the child analyst field, through courses and supervisions.

Cartografias do Armário: estratégias do desejo em uma cidade do interior paulista

This article aims to present the results of a research about the links among homophobia, subjectivation processes and constructions of gender and sexual identities in a small city in the interior of São Paulo State. The main research question that guided us was: how homophobia regulates the desire and the “transit between the closets” among the so called gay people in a small city? To answer that question we made interviews that were analyzed and transformed into narratives of four cisgender men of different ages who call themselves homosexual or who have had homoerotic practices with other men. All participants live in the same city, do not know one another and have lived most of their lives city. We have problematized how these participants gave meaning to the experiences of regulation of their sexuality that have been aroused by homophobia and by the device of closet. Analyses indicated that the 'closet' can both regulate and oversee their lives, limiting their possibilities of desiring, but also may raise resistance, from which it is possible to establish a relationship with another ethical life, that is, producing other ways of life in the small city.

A pesquisa teórica em psicanálise: das suas condições e possibilidades

This article is part of the methodological approach concerning theoretical investigation aspects, developed from the analysis of research in Psychoanalysis. Due to its peculiarities, research in Psychoanalysis raises issues and questions which advance far beyond the positivist conceptions which underline the dominant paradigm of our present day production of knowledge. Considering Psychoanalysis as the effect of the psychoanalitic act in itself, mainly when considering its theoretical scientific approach which must be part of a specific method, the following question is raised: what are the real possibilities of research in Psychoanalysis, specifically theoretic al research in Psychoanalysis? The article aims at articulating relevant issues concerning the field of Psychoanalysis and their relevant development for research in this field. To sum up, the article highlights issues concerning the role of the researcher as a necessary and decisive condition for any theoretical research in the field of Psychoanalysis.

Enquadres clínicos, enquadramentos estéticos: arte e psicanálise

This paper aims at establishing a link between the psychoanalytic idea of a clinical setting and the notion of framing in the artistic image. To this end, the reading is based on issues related to clinical care, in the specific sense of a setting, casting itself in artistic creations that challenge the rigid status – when it’s the case – of this setting, and reflecting on the notion of transference, a basic phenomenon in this context. The conclusions refer to a direct approach between the aesthetic experience and psychoanalytic experience.

Desligamentos da crítica: psicanálise e reflexão sobre arte

This paper intends to discuss the relationship between psychoanalysis and aesthetic thinking under the prism of the “unbinding” theory – earlier conceived by the psychoanalyst Andre Green –, linking it to some theories proposed by Hal Foster, art historian and art critic, where we can find the lacanian “real” as the linking concept. One could say, in this linkage made here, that both authors are dealing, in a very particular way, with a question that refers to the theory of the real (as it was conceived by Jacques Lacan), even in the case of Green it is not referred directly; Green’s theory, however, seems to discuss some kind of a regredience that could be linked to the death drive. Accessing the psychoanalytical dispositive, and using it as it is appropriated to the (art) object to be interpreted, Foster, for example, advances in both the field of aesthetic reflection and in the more specific field of psychoanalysis. It should be noted that Foster’s reflection refers strictly to the post-pop images, observed mainly in the 1990’s photography. Thus, I think that this intersection between aesthetics and psychoanalysis might allow us to shed some light on a new art reading possibility towards a “non-applied” psychoanalytical paradigm, which, in my opinion, seems to be an appropriate way to understand some of the contemporary art production.

Estratégias do desejo: amor e erotismo na obra poética de Cristina Peri Rossi

This work discusses some of the most representative poems of Uruguayan writer Cristina Peri Rossi (1941 -), compiled in the book Poesía reunida (2005), by analyzing the exploration of recurring themes, like love and eroticism. The proposed analysis will feature the theoretical support of the works of Georges Bataille (1987) and Octavio Paz (1993).

Relações entre ética e psicanálise

We present, in this essay, considerations about the ethics of Psychoanalysis. We seek to reflect on the possibility of Psychoanalysis serving as a founding element of an ethics. For that, firstly, we will present a few conceptions of ethics and moral and, afterwards; we will make considerations in order to answer the following question: is a psychoanalytic ethics possible?

Ideal desiccation periods of Urochloa ruziziensis for a no-till sunflower crop

Sowing crops following cover crops on forage may cause injuries and productivity reduction, due reasons as allelopathy or glyphosate residues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of differing periods between cover crop (Urochloa ruziziensis) desiccation with glyphosate and sunflower (Aguara 4) sowing in a no-tillage system on crop development and productivity. Two assays were performed in two seasons, one in pots and the other in a field. Treatments in field assay consisted on 5 desiccation times of U. ruziziensis (with an application of glyphosate at 1.08 kg ae ha(-1)) preceding the sowing of no-till sunflower (0, 3, 7, 10 and 30 days). At the pot assays, 6 times were studied: 0, 3, 7, 10, 15 and 20 days between cover crop desiccation and sunflower sowing. A control without cover crop was also included in this assay. Biometric evaluations were performed at the vegetative stage and at harvest. As the period between U. ruziziensis desiccation and sunflower sowing was shortened, achene production in sunflower was exponentially reduced. Glyphosate application at 3 or 0 days pre sowing diminished sunflower development and achene production by approximately 30% compared to desiccation periods greater than 7 days.

Numerical and experimental investigation of a vibration system with non-ideal vibration source

An excitation force that is not influenced by the system's states is said to be an ideal energy source. In real situations, a direct and feedback coupling between the excitation source and the system must always exist. This manifestation of the law of conversation of energy is known as Sommerfeld Effect. In the case of obtaining a mathematical model for such system, additional equations are usually necessary to describe the vibration sources and their coupling with the mechanical system. In this work, a cantilever beam and a non-ideal electric DC motor that is fixed to the beam free end is analyzed. The motor has an unbalanced mass that provides excitation to the system proportional to the current applied to the motor. During the motor's coast up operation, as the excitation frequency gets closer to the beam first natural frequency and if the drive power increases further, the DC motor speed remains constant until it suddenly jumps to a much higher value (simultaneously the vibration amplitude jumps to a much lower value) upon exceeding a critical input power. It was found that the Sommerfeld effect depends on some system parameters and the motor operational procedures. These parameters are explored to avoid the resonance capture in Sommerfeld effect. Numerical simulations and experimental tests are used to help insight this dynamic behavior.

Revista Rolling Stone Brasil: em busca do perfil ideal do leitor do site

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo buscar características que ajudem a definir quem é o público leitor do site da Rolling Stone Brasil, levantando a questão da migração de revistas que surgiram antes da internet para o ciberespaço. Para isso, com base em revisão bibliográfica, retornamos na história para resgatar as origens da versão impressa da publicação e das origens do próprio jornalismo de revista. Com base em uma pesquisa sobre o que se chamou de Perfis Digigraficos e com realização de entrevistas com os editores do site e da revista Rolling Stone Brasil, concluímos que este perfil, aqui chamado de ideal, não está relacionado com idade, gênero e gosto musical

Tratamentos breves na psicanálise lacaniana: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

The paper outlines the profile of the scientific production about brief treatments based on the Lacanian Psychoanalysis. In order to accomplish this, the research focuses on online journals with free full-text articles written by members of Lacanian Schools listed on the website of the World Psychoanalysis Association. The work analyses studies from 2000 to 2009. In a total of 115 selected documents, the research has identified that online journals from Latin America contributed with 96 (83,47%) works. The literature review indicates that brief treatments are made possible by a construction of a specific mechanism, in which parameters of gratuity and limited time of care are established. However, a key conclusion from this review is that individual interventions with adults from big cities are still predominant.
