Revista Gil Blas e o nacionalismo de combate (1919-1923)

O livro analisa a revista Gil Blas, fundada por Álvaro Bomilcar e Alcebiades Delamare em 1919, no Rio de Janeiro, e cuja importância histórica reside principalmente no extremado nacionalismo de sua linha editorial. Em quatro anos, foram publicadas 164 edições da revista, que passou por várias fases, caracterizadas por propostas nacionalistas diversas, as quais imprimiram um caráter bastante dinâmico a seus objetivos. A publicação alcançou tamanha relevância em sua época que chegou a servir como porta voz do governo Epitácio Pessoa (1919-1923) e a reunir o que se tornaria o arcabouço das várias concepções nacionalistas que vigorariam ao longo da década de 1920. O objetivo deste trabalho foi, principalmente, distinguir os projetos defendidos nas páginas da revista e, ainda, esclarecer se havia consonância entre seu ecletismo e seu posicionamento político e doutrinário. O autor também se debruça sobre o projeto temático-editorial da revista, que continha grande diversidade de seções e artigos, cobrindo as mais diferentes áreas, de esporte e literatura a política, passando pelas questões relativas ao operariado, quase sempre com viés nacionalista que beirava a xenofobia

Monteiro Lobato nas páginas do jornal: um estudo dos artigos publicados em O Estado de S. Paulo (1913-1923)

A fase compreendida pelos historiadores como fase de consolidação ou profissionalização da imprensa, início da República até a década de 30, corresponde a um período relevante da atuação do escritor Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) como jornalista. O intuito de se abordar os artigos publicados no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, periódico fundado em 1875 como baluarte das questões ideológicas republicanas, permite situar o início da produção de Lobato em 1913. O limite de 1930 justifica-se pelo momento histórico, ou seja, a transição de um país rural para um estado em franca urbanização com o advento da era Vargas. Como veículo fugaz, o jornal apresenta-se como oportunidade para se rever uma faceta menos literária do escritor. A observação do conjunto de textos produzidos como artigos para O Estado entre os anos de 1913 e 1923 revela um escritor em fina sintonia com o veículo do qual participava e ajudava a construir, fosse na esfera dos ideais, fosse no círculo das atividades exercidas dentro do jornal. Lobato é, com efeito, um jornalista participando ativamente dos ideais políticos e sociais de um grupo cuja influência extrapolava a tão autoproclamada neutralidade do jornal. Havia um projeto de país em boa parte comum a escritor e jornal, ou melhor, entre o publicista atento e o periódico bem sucedido. Uma velha praga, Urupês ou o quase não lembrado Entre duas crises são textos que, postos lado a lado e lidos na seqüência e freqüência que surgem em O Estado, compõem um mosaico esclarecedor da visão projetada por Lobato e por um grupo de intelectuais cuja ação pública, política, identifica-os como grupo do Estado

Quando gestos não políticos são políticos: a tradução brasileira de Giovanni's Room, de James Baldwin, e a questão da homossexualidade

This work is part of a research project on the role of translations of African-American literature in Brazil and their relation to issues of identity, discourse and aesthetics. It analyzes the translation, by Affonso Blacheyre, of Giovanni's room (1956), by James Baldwin, which was published in 1967 in Brazil. Baldwin is revered for his role in the Civil Rights Movement, having produced works that portray the contradictions of a democratic, but, at the same time, racist society. Giovanni's room was first rejected by his publisher for addressing homosexuality. The text displayed on the book flaps of the translation praises Baldwin's "work with language", in contrast to his anti-racism in other works. The praise of aesthetics of Giovanni's room is noteworthy, in contrast with the absence of any remarks on its critique of the marginalization of homosexuality. The focus on the aesthetics of the work corresponded to characters speaking a more formal register in the translation. Discourses on identity strengthening were less apparent in the 60s in Brazil in comparison to nowadays. The emphasis on aesthetics represented a seemingly "non-political" gesture that made it less shocking in the context of military dictatorship prevalent in the country at the time.

Revista de Educação (1921-1923): moral e civilidade republicanas na formação docente

In this paper, are analyzed the content of morality and civility disclosed in five articles published in the Revista de Educação, educational periodic published by the School for Teaching Training of Piracicaba, between 1921 and 1923, and that had Lourenço Filho as editor. For the analysis, it was used aspects of the theory of civilization processes, based on the emotional control idea, proposed by the German sociologist Norbert Elias, in the first decades of the twentieth century. Through historical approach, it was founded in these articles the principles of civility and of morality that should be taught through the school to the teaching training students so they could teach it to their students, future citizens of Republic. From the analysis of the articles of this journal it was possible to observe the "drawing" of citizen who was disclosed and, consequently, the spread - through the school – of values related to social behavior that matched to the standards of civilized individuals to the Brazilian Republic.

A produção técnico-científica de James Precott Joule: uma leitura a partir da epistemologia de Ludwig Fleck

This paper aims an epistemologically analysis of the attempt of James Prescott Joule to replace the steam engine by the electric one. In this historical analysis, we use the epistemological categories: style of thinking, collective thinking, intercollective circulation of ideas and practices,Joule and other technicians in Machester received in that time financial incentives from governments and industry to replace the steam engine by the electric one, since it was in Manchester a culture of the technique of the accuracy and precision in which Joule was immersed, which allowed us to initially identify the styles of techniques thinking and experimental efficiency. However, Joule could not replace the steam engine by the electric; and the awareness of the problems faced by him, in the attempt to make such a substitution, led him to seek, through an intercollective circulation of ideas and practices, such as the studies of Faraday and Jacobi, a change of direction in his researches. According to our analysis, what happened was a change of style from a technical to a scientific thinking. In this sense, Joule began to investigate issues of a scientific nature, as the Joule’s effect and the mechanical equivalent of heat, which contributed significantly to the establishment of the principle of conservation of energy. We present here the contributions of this epistemological analysis to the discussion of questions of the nature of science in the basic education and for the training of physics teachers.

Mutation Spectrum in the Large GTPase Dynamin 2, and Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in Autosomal Dominant Centronuclear Myopathy

Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with general skeletal muscle weakness, type I fiber predominance and atrophy, and abnormally centralized nuclei. Autosomal dominant CNM is due to mutations in the large GTPase dynamin 2 (DNM2), a mechanochemical enzyme regulating cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking in cells. To date, 40 families with CNM-related DNM2 mutations have been described, and here we report 60 additional families encompassing a broad genotypic and phenotypic spectrum. In total, 18 different mutations are reported in 100 families and our cohort harbors nine known and four new mutations, including the first splice-site mutation. Genotype-phenotype correlation hypotheses are drawn from the published and new data, and allow an efficient screening strategy for molecular diagnosis. In addition to CNM, dissimilar DNM2 mutations are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) peripheral neuropathy (CMTD1B and CMT2M), suggesting a tissue-specific impact of the mutations. In this study, we discuss the possible clinical overlap of CNM and CMT, and the biological significance of the respective mutations based on the known functions of dynamin 2 and its protein structure. Defects in membrane trafficking due to DNM2 mutations potentially represent a common pathological mechanism in CNM and CMT. Hum Mutat 33: 949-959, 2012. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
