L’allégorie nationale à l’épreuve du cinéma : le cas d’Iracema

Cette étude s’inscrit dans un questionnement entourant les notions d’identité nationale et de construction allégorique. Elle s’inscrit également dans une problématique touchant les questions de la matérialité de la littérature et du cinéma. Dans la première partie de cette recherche, nous allons d’abord définir les notions d’allégorie et d’allégorie nationale. Par la suite, à partir de l’histoire d’Iracema, nous allons questionner deux œuvres qui travaillent la rencontre entre une autochtone et un blanc de manière distincte. La première œuvre est Iracema : lenda do Ceará de José de Alencar, un écrivain connu du XIXe siècle au Brésil. Véritable allégorie nationale de fondation, cette œuvre cherche à unir allégoriquement les différences sociales pour fonder une identité qui serait brésilienne. Le film Iracema : uma transa amazônica reprend cette histoire de construction nationale dans un contexte de dictature et montre ses contradictions et ses limites. En mettant l’accent sur les travailleurs et les marginalisés de l’imaginaire national, le film altère la sensibilité visuelle des spectateurs. Puisque l'oeuvre de Bodansky et Senna se situe à la limite entre le documentaire et la fiction, nous avons posé notre regard sur les résistances qu’offrent des images documentaires à l’interprétation allégorique de la nation.

Equity-premium puzzle: evidence from Brazilian data

This paper uses 1992:1-2004:2 quarterly data and two di§erent methods (approximation under lognormality and calibration) to evaluate the existence of an equity-premium puzzle in Brazil. In contrast with some previous works in the Brazilian literature, I conclude that the model used by Mehra and Prescott (1985), either with additive or recursive preferences, is not able to satisfactorily rationalize the equity premium observed in the Brazilian data. The second contribution of the paper is calling the attention to the fact that the utility function may not exist if the data (as it is the case with Brazilian time series) implies the existence of states in which high negative rates of consumption growth are attained with relatively high probability.

As Filhas do Arco-Íris, de Eulício Farias de Lacerda : mitos, lendas e contos populares como elementos estruturantes do romance

The corpus of this work constitutes an analysis the literary work As Filhas do Arco-Íris, by Eulício Farias de Lacerda, considering object of study myths, legends and popular stories as estruturant elements of the romance. The unchainment of this reading considers aspects of the oral tradition as starting point for the rupture tradition. In that perspective, it became fundamental to describe aspects of the popular culture that consolidated the Brazilian Literature during the 20th century. Like this, it was necessary to understand the development of oral elements and the structuring of the folk-tales, pointing out that As Filhas do Arco-Íris was built in a especial way with regionalist characteristics, following the parameters of the romances published among the years 1930 and 1950. In the researched work, it was noticed a narrative that gathers stories, legends, myths, proverbs and oral locutions. In this, it reveals that the Brazilian literary production grew in aesthetics and thematic. Like this, As Filhas do Arco-Íris is an exercise of the experience regionalist inserted in the contemporary novel, because even with your first publication in 1980, the narrative is configured to the molds of a Romance de 30

Theoretical Approximations Between Brazilian and Spanish Authors' Production in the Field of Knowledge Organization in the Production of Journals on Information Science in Brazil

This work identifies and analyzes literature about knowledge organization (KO), expressed in scientific journals communication of information science (IS). It performs an exploratory study on the Base de Dados Referencial de Artigos de Periodicos em Ciência da Informacio (BRAPCI, Reference Database of Journal Articles on Information Science) between the years 2000 and 2010. The descriptors relating to "knowledge organization" are used in order to recover and analyze the corresponding articles and to identify descriptors and concepts which integrate the semantic universe related to KO.

Os convivas da morte no banquete das almas: presença de eguns em um conto de João Antônio

A literatura escrita tem sido um espaço privilegiado para a representação e, consequentemente, para o registro e divulgação dos valores e costumes de variados grupos e segmentos sociais. No conto analisado neste ensaio – Eguns –, o escritor paulistano João Antônio (1937-1996) traz um narrador que descreve com detalhes uma rara festa religiosa ocorrida na Bahia, destinada ao culto dos ancestrais. Contemplativo e respeitoso, limita-se a contar o que a tradição religiosa permite. O contato com a alteridade ganha foros de rito iniciático e a experiência – em sentido forte – é transferida ao leitor.
