O único luxo de um santo laico: fotografias em biografias de Clóvis Beviláqua

The jurist Clovis Bevilaqua (1859-1944) was a privileged member of a political and intellectual elite in the context of the transition from the nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century in this country, having been a professor at the Faculdade de Direito de Recife, author of the Civil Code of 1917, consultant for the Ministério das Relações Exteriores and jurist of international prestige, and literary critic and author of law, philosophy and history.Their biographies emphasize the breadth of his legal knowledge, the merits of civil codification which was author and lifestyle humble and generous earning him the nickname "secular saint". However, the lawyer had the habit of collecting photos of himself and of his family and this behavior is characterized as a single vanity for his biographers. From four biographies of Clovis Bevilaqua, written by Lauro Romero (1956), Raimundo de Menezes and Ubaldino de Azevedo (1959), Noemia Paes Barreto Brandão (1989) and Silvio Meira (1990), we intend to discuss how these images are used to illustrate the trajectory of the jurist and corroborate the distinct narratives models.

Eu voltei para reimplantar a tua memória: para os que não ouviram

The oral records, deprived of great rhetoric elaboration, mark the family accounts and the testimonies about remarkable and apparently minor particularities of grand conflicts, like the World War II. The oral memory fulfilled an important function of historical transmission, especially in handing on to written record the organization of testimonies, revealing personal memories in the form of letters, diaries and narratives, besides of integrating itself to several works of fiction. In the present work we present the value of former partigiani’s testimonies collected in the volume Io sono l’ultimo (I am the last one) as evocation and transmission of personal remembrances strongly linked to the conflict and as manifestations in the literary field as well. The valuing by descendants and fellow countrymen of a tradition of memory communication make the testimony of men and women that fought for the liberation of many Italian locations much more than fragmented reports when the interested reader in the memory of those that survived, integrated to the micro-history of the events, perceive its expressive logic. We explore both the meaning of witness adopted by Giorgio Agamben and the esthetical value of the traumatized voice in the perspective of Márcio Seligman-Silva.

Revista Popular (1859-1863) e Jornal das Famílias (1863-1878): um perfil dos periódicos de Garnier

The purpose of this paper is to show some characteristics and essential information related to the Brazilian periodicals in the 19th century Revista Popular (1859-1862) and Jornal das Famílias (1863-1878), whose owner was the Frenchman Baptiste Louis Garnier. By that time the proliferation of periodicals attracts attention mainly because several of them had ephemeral existence, in opposition to Garnier’s periodicals which as a whole amount to 19 years in circulation. The research on these periodicals becomes relevant since they are well succeeded publications whose study makes possible the widening of the knowledge on social and cultural aspects of a very important period in Brazilian society.

Rui Barbosa: mito, memória e esquecimento

The remembrance of Rui Barbosa has always involved the maintenance of myths fabricated during his lifetime while a reappraisal of his intellectual, literary and political dimensions has been forwarded. Current essay discusses from several bibliographical samples on Brazilian social thought the manner the memory of the lawgiver from Bahia has been appropriated civically and intellectually. A qualitative and quantitative contrast was established between Barbosa’s works published and referred to and those by Joaquim Nabuco, Sílvio Romero and Gilberto Freyre. Oscillations in the evaluation of Barbosa’s works occurred during the 20th century that brought about a decrease in their value and about the memory on the historical subject.

De Flaubert para Maupassant

This article aims to present some reflections about a selection of letters that Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) wrote to Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), between September 23, 1872 and May 3, 1880. For eight years, Flaubert was Maupassant’s friend and a literary master and his letters, marked by a multiple and disordered discourse, reveal a path to friendship and the passionate dedication of the master regarding the intellectual and artistic development of the young writer. It is intended here, to draw some considerations to the moments when Flaubert’s speech assumes, directly or indirectly, a pedagogical role and the letter becomes a way to literary teaching.

A crítica de Siegfried Kracauer ao romance-reportagem ou o 'caso Brecht'

This article seeks to historically contextualize Kracauer’s aesthetic-political position regarding this successful literary genre among German writers in the early 1930s: the novel report. It is inevitable the reference to the Berlin journal, Die Linkskurve, and to Lukács’s critiques developed in the period – when he resumes aesthetic questions on the novel as a literary genre in a Marxist interpretation and outlines his thesis on “critical realism”. Kracauer wrote a critique about the film Kuhle Wampe, directed by S. Dudow with a script by B. Brecht and E. Ottwald and music by H. Eisler, which engendered a discussion full of misunderstandings, but extremely interesting, between E. Bloch and Kracauer and between Kracauer and Brecht. Finally, I comment the journal project Krise und Kritik, which failed with the rise of Hitler.

Em busca do sentido: uma análise das estratégias de processamento textual em O milagre das folhas, de Clarice Lispector

This text aims to elucidate the textual processing strategies that give meaning to chronicle "The miracle of the leaves", of Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). Therefore, it starts from the basic postulate that the meaning is not in the fabric or verbal imagery, but the meanings constructed from the elements of language that are there to meet with the reader (BRONCKART, 2009, p. 257). Justified this reading strategy, since the chronic Lispector reveals multiple meanings endowed with a language and dialogue. The text processing is discussed in terms of an audience potentially youthful element that assigns characteristics relevant to the understanding of the functioning of this type of text in relation to younger readers. To achieve the goal, we start from the assumption that chronic, being a literary text endowed with aesthetic validity, not only conveys a content, but recreates it, adding to it new meanings.

Entre a nostalgia e o dever de memória: a narrativa memorialística de Alfons Cervera

Tras la publicación de una serie de novelas caracterizadas por la experimentación formal y la innovación linguística, el valenciano Alfons Cervera (1947- ) inició un proyecto literario de rememoración de la posguerra española, centrado en una trilogía de novelas: El color del crepúsculo, (1995), Maquis (1997), La noche inmóvil (1999). La trilogía reconstruye la memoria del cotidiano de los habitantes de Los Yesares, nombre fictício atribuído al pueblo de Gestalgar, tierra natal del escritor, en Valencia. Las narrativas presentan semejanzas temáticas y estruturales, así como tienen personajes en común. En El color del crepúsculo, la protagonista Sunta, por medio de un relato rememorativo, intenta recuperar el tiempo perdido, el entorno seguro de la infancia y de la adolescencia. Maquis, segunda novela de la trilogía, por medio de una narrativa fragmentada, relata la historia del cotidiano de los habitantes del mismo pueblo, marcado por la represión y el miedo, y la vida de los guerrilleros, los maquis, que sobreviven en las montañas. Félix, el abuelo de Sunta, es el protagonista de La noche inmóvil que está a la espera de la muerte, atormentado por el recuerdo de su hijo muerto y por las voces de los amigos que ya se fueron. Memoria y ficción construyen un imaginario ambivalente en las novelas, borrando los límites entre la memoria personal, la memoria colectiva y la histórica.

Effect of prey concentrations and feed training on production of Hoplias lacerdae juvenile

The aim of this work was to investigate the s of daily prey concentration during the first 15 days of active feeding of Hoplias lacerdae larvae, and the juvenile size on the feed training. In the first phase, the larvae received five Artemia nauplii concentrations (P). In the second phase, the juveniles from each treatment were trained to accept formulated diet. Superior growth was related to higher initial daily prey concentrations (900 and 1100 nauplii larvae-1). During feed training, the growth tendency was similar to that verified in the first phase. The lowest values of specific growth rate (SGR) were registered after the introduction of the semi-moist diet used in the feed training. However, the values of SGR recovered along the experiment and similar rates were found among the treatments. Survival, mortality and cannibalism were similar in the different treatments at the end of both phases. It can be concluded that: the prey concentration affects growth of H. lacerdae during the first 15 days of active feeding, and feed training can be initialized with juveniles of about 16 mm of total length.
