A Semana: periódico literário

A vinda da família real para o Brasil, em 1808, trouxe grandes mudanças e entre elas a primeira manifestação periódica o Correio Brasiliense, editado em Londres. No início do século XX, sobretudo, com a Semana de Arte Moderna em 1922, surgem revistas como: Klaxon, Estética, Festa e outras. A partir delas editam-se outras que constituíram importantes documentos da sociedade brasileira e registram a nova tendência do público leitor. O Pará não ficou ausente desses acontecimentos e teve a Imprensa como seu principal veículo de divulgação. Algumas revistas e alguns jornais surgiram nessa época na capital do Estado, entre as quais se destacou a revista A Semana, que circulou por vinte e cinco anos. Esse semanário mantinha correspondência com outras regiões do Brasil: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Maranhão. Nessas regiões havia colaboradores da revista, o que permitia a troca de informações do que acontecia no mundo literário e no mundo cultural. Dos periódicos compilados foram selecionados quatro exemplares do ano de 1939 para serem estudados, neste trabalho. Neles foram feitos levantamentos da capa, das publicações literárias, do gênero a que essas produções pertenciam e de seus respectivos autores. Pelo quadro-resumo feito dessas edições, percebeu-se que os editores procuravam seguir um padrão divulgando textos de cunho literário, como contos, poemas, trechos de romances, ensaios, entre outros. Em algumas dessas produções ficaram evidentes que nem todas absorveram a nova tendência estética que veio com A Semana de Arte Moderna, pois havia escritores que oscilavam entre as estéticas Romântica, Simbolista e Parnasiana. Por outro lado existiam aqueles que se destacavam, incorporando esse novo tempo literário. Em meio a essas produções despontava a figura feminina, num lugar de destaque, que além de ilustrarem a capa do periódico ainda apareciam nas páginas subseqüentes. Todas essas informações divulgadas no periódico deram mais credibilidade à Revista e permitiu que a Literatura Paraense fizesse parte desse novo momento da Literatura Brasileira.

Londres sob bombardeios alemães: uma série de Ralph Ingersoll no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo (1940-1941)

Os anos 1930 e 1940 são conhecidos pela intensa batalha ideológica que os caracterizou, pois o mundo estava cindido entre a democracia e o totalitarismo. Nesta apresentação, pretende-se analisar de que forma as representações acerca do cenário internacional, mais especificamente sobre o bombardeio da Inglaterra pela Luftwaffe, publicadas nas páginas do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, foram mobilizadas em nome de um projeto de país que estava articulado a uma determinada visão de mundo. 

The modern math movement(s): an essay on how elementary school teachers in Brazil gave meaning to it

The main goal of this paper is to discuss the production of meaning of the Modern Math Movement. The main sources were data available in school archives and interviews with former teachers that we use in order to focus on the diversity of perspectives -that complement it or oppose it-, which comes up when teachers refer to the Movement. Using this process of signification, teachers whether accept it, invalidate it or adapt it to guidelines imposed to them in their teaching activities. We establish a methodology by following the premises of Oral History to gather oral testimonies. The theoretical foundations in which this article is written are the guidelines of Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutics, John Thompson's Depth Hermeneutics and Bolivar's narrative analysis.

Road wanderers in Brazil: a study on modern psychosocial human mobility

Human mobility patterns are quite diverse nowadays and a very singular, extreme pattern is seen in the Brazilian scene: road wandering. Road wanderers are individuals who leave their home, family, work and other territories of a settled life and throw themselves into a life of solitary wandering along Brazilian highways. This study aimed to describe the lifestyle of road wanderers, investigate the reasons that led them choose this way of living and understand it against a background of modern human mobility patterns. A total of 63 interviews were conducted with individuals wandering on road shoulders. We found road wandering is associated with the following determinants: poverty; unemployment; marital conflicts; emotional suffering following the loss of loved ones; desires for adventure and freedom; and cultural symbols related to journey, migration, exodus and other modes of displacement. Despite its particularities, road wandering can be understood as a way of human mobility in the modern world.

Khoisan hunter-gatherers have been the largest population throughout most of modern-human demographic history

The Khoisan people from Southern Africa maintained ancient lifestyles as hunter-gatherers or pastoralists up to modern times, though little else is known about their early history. Here we infer early demographic histories of modern humans using whole-genome sequences of five Khoisan individuals and one Bantu speaker. Comparison with a 420 K SNP data set from worldwide individuals demonstrates that two of the Khoisan genomes from the Ju/'hoansi population contain exclusive Khoisan ancestry. Coalescent analysis shows that the Khoisan and their ancestors have been the largest populations since their split with the non-Khoisan population similar to 100-150 kyr ago. In contrast, the ancestors of the non-Khoisan groups, including Bantu-speakers and non-Africans, experienced population declines after the split and lost more than half of their genetic diversity. Paleoclimate records indicate that the precipitation in southern Africa increased similar to 80-100 kyr ago while west-central Africa became drier. We hypothesize that these climate differences might be related to the divergent-ancient histories among human populations.

Drivers of change in animal protein production systems: changes from 'traditional' to 'modern' beef cattle production systems in Brazil

Until 1990, beef cattle production in Brazil was recognized as an enterprise of low investment, low cost of production, as well as an extensive production system that used large land areas to be economically feasible. The situation changed for the Brazilian beef market when the economy stabilized in 1994 and all sectors involved in the beef supply chain were able to predict their associated costs and profits. During the same period, purchasing power of the Brazilian population grew, and as a consequence, consumers began to demand higher quality beef products. This new scenario in the late 1990s and early 2000s has led to more intensive beef production systems in Brazil as well as the need for a greater understanding of how technologies might be applied. As consequence of this evolution, in the last five years, a necessity to increase beef production has occurred. The quality of Brazilian beef has improved compared with beef produced 15 years ago, but continued improvements are needed to achieve excellence in terms of large-scale production of high quality beef, be sustainable over a long period of time, and increase our contribution to global food security.

Book Review of Improved Earth: Prairie Space as Modern Artefact, 1869-1944 by Rod Bantjes

In this short but suggestive study, sociologist Rod Bantjes examines how contending visions of modernity shaped the social and physical landscapes of the Canadian prairies. "[B]oth statesmen and prairie farmers were infused with the modernist spirit of innovation, the will creatively (and destructively) to transform their worlds," Bantjes argues. His provocative view of farmers as agents of modernity reflects recent scholarship that seeks to explore "multiple modernities," or the notion that ideas and practices of modernism must be regarded not as monolithic but rather as contested and multivocal, and must be examined in their historical and geographical contexts.
