Ser-tão de Buriti: o corpo de noturno rumor (a poética de Guimarães Rosa e o pensamento literário contemporâneo)

This thesis is to analyze the fictional texture of Buriti, novella by Guimarães Rosa, which makes part of Corpo do Baile. Gilles Deleuze‘s philosophical background as well as similar theorists such as Mircea Eliade, Derrida, Bataille, Foucault, Blanchot and Nie-tzsche constitute the main reference, as example of Guimarães Rosa‘s problematizing writing, since they present as basic element of thought the desterritorialization of con-cepts, standards and institutionalized knowledge by the dominant literary language. Along with the theoretical perspective of current alterity on these authors, Buriti is crossed by one aesthetics substantiated with a multiplicity of narrative points of view, opening gaps to other non-sacralized, nomadic voices, using polyphony as a way of breaking and destabilizing crystallized truths related to the canons of mother tongue. Interwoven by a poetic side of transgression, the narrative of Buriti finds especially marked by the signs of the backlands and of the night, which rhizomatically point to a sense of infinity, eternity, loneliness, vertigo before the abyssal, evoking the singularity of a ser-tão before the night, "the body of nocturnal rumor." The nights in the backlands in Buriti give rise to the emergence of a state of subjectivity, the ser-tão, whose nature is shown as a space of communion of the various beings that humans put on the same level of other living beings, setting up a sharing cosmic territory, enjoyment between pain and pleasure, between death and life. It is the night in the darkness, the shadows, the ser-tão is exposed, the being in his depth, facing himself with his internal rumors, which project themselves through the noise, the sound amplified by the vastness of the night at the desert backlands. "The backlands is the night." (ROSA, 1988, p.92).

Systematic review of Late Jurassic sauropods from the Museu Geológico collections (Lisboa, Portugal)

The Museu Geológico collections house some of the first sauropod references of the Lusitanian Basin Upper Jurassic record, including the Lourinhasaurus alenquerensis and Lusotitan atalaiensis lectotypes, previously considered as new species of the Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus genera, respectively. Several fragmentary specimens have been classical referred to those taxa, but the most part of these systematic attributions are not supported herein, excluding a caudal vertebra from Maceira (MG 8804) considered as cf. Lusotitan atalaiensis. From the material housed in the Museu Geológico were identified basal eusauropods (indeterminate eusauropods and turiasaurs) and neosauropods (indeterminate neosauropods, diplodods and camarasaurids and basal titanosauriforms). Middle caudal vertebrae with lateral fossae, ventral hollow border by pronounced ventrolateral crests and quadrangular cross-section suggest for the presence of diplodocine diplodocids in north area of the Lusitanian Basin Central Sector during the Late Jurassic. A humerus collected from Praia dos Frades (MG 4976) is attributed to cf. Duriatitan humerocristatus suggesting the presence of shared sauropod forms between the Portugal and United Kingdom during the Late Jurassic. Duriatitan is an indeterminate member of Eusauropoda and the discovery of new material in both territories is necessary to confirm this systematic approach. The studied material is in according with the previous recorded paleobiodiversity for the sauropod clade during the Portuguese Late Jurassic, which includes basal eusauropods (including turiasaurs), diplodocids and macronarians (including camarasaurids and basal titanosauriforms).

Childhood’s crossings: rites of initiation in "Campo Geral" by Guimarães Rosa and "Terra sonâmbula" by Mia Couto

The present work analyses, under an anthropologic perspective, each one of the phases of the rites of passage lived by the protagonists of Guimarães Rosa’s Campo geral and Mia Couto’s Terra sonâmbula, trying to track in these texts the elements related to the traditional societies’ culture and trying to identify the meaning of the mentioned elements in the specific context of the authors. The two writers mix these primitive components with the regional culture and therefore achieve, starting also from the local representations, to reach a universal extent.

Estudo do Impacto da Desinstitucionalização de Doentes e /ou Deficientes Mentais no seu Bem-estar Psicológico: uma experiência de reabilitação psicossocial – “Quinta Pedagógica das Romãzeiras”

O presente estudo analisa uma experiência de desinstitucionalização de pacientes que se encontravam internadas na Casa de Saúde Rainha Santa Isabel, em Condeixa-a- Nova, visando a sua inserção socio-comunitária, através da integração num projecto, que tem por nome “Quinta Pedagógica das Romãzeiras” apoiado num programa de reabilitação psicossocial (THS – Treino de Habilidades Sociais) e de Actividades de Vida Diária (AVDs). O universo do estudo compreendeu um grupo de vinte pacientes que foram acompanhados na sua trajectória de desinstitucionalização e avaliados em dois momentos com um intervalo de oito meses. A primeira avaliação foi feita antes da desinstitucionalização de modo a obter os valores relativos ao estado psicológico e psicopatológico das utentes internadas. A segunda avaliação foi feita após a desinstitucionalização e a intervenção da equipa técnica através do respectivo projecto de reabilitação psicossocial. As duas áreas avaliadas foram: O índice Geral de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (Sintomatologia Psiquiátrica) e o nível de Bem-Estar Psicológico. Os resultados deste estudo apontam no sentido, globalmente, existirem mudanças positivas consideradas estatisticamente significativas nos índices de sintomatologia, entre os dois momentos de avaliação. No que diz respeito à área de Bem-Estar Psicológico, os resultados revelam igualmente diferenças consideradas muito significativas entre os dois momentos de avaliação. O factor que se destacou mais foi o factor da Felicidade e da Auto-estima. O factor que menos se destacou foi o da sociabilidade. Estes resultados traduzem o impacto importante do processo de desinstitucionalização no aumento do Bem-estar Psicológico das pessoas com deficiência e/ou doença mental, institucionalizadas em internamento de longo termo. Os resultados também perspectivam uma mudança na qualidade de vida assim como na redução da sintomatologia, influenciando positivamente e de forma indirecta os resultados do impacto do processo de desinstitucionalização.

Povoações, freguesias e vilas na Paraíba Colonial: Pombal e Sousa, 1697-1800

The towns presently named Pombal and Sousa, located in the hinterland of the State of Paraíba, Brazil, still keep vestiges of the colonization process they went through along the 18th and 19th centuries, when they both emerged as settlement nuclei in the extreme West of the then captaincy of Paraíba and attained the status of freguesia and vila in a later period. This research aims to comprehend the process of urban formation and development of the colonial urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa as they became povoados (hamlets), freguesias (parishes) and vilas (small urban communities with a local government), according to territorial expansion policies implemented by the Portuguese government from 1697 to 1800. The choice of the two urban settlements for this survey lies in the fact that they were part of the great conquest and colonization program undertaken by the Portuguese Crown. Another aspect that was considered was the fact that those towns are the oldest urban nuclei of Paraíba s hinterland. They came into being as early as in the times of the colony, thus producing a favorable environment to the study of the changes that occurred in the captaincy s hinterland scenery resulting from the process of formation and development of the colonial urban space. Three fundamental categories of analysis were defined since they have a direct bearing upon the urban configuration of the two colonization nuclei: povoado, freguesia and vila. The three of them are related to civil and ecclesiastic jurisdictions. Field, documentation and bibliography surveys were undertaken in order to develop the study. They allowed for the finding of vestiges of the old, colonial urban structures and for the development of theoretical analysis based on present-day studies of issues relating to the colonial urban history. The study purposes were, therefore, to try to understand how the old urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa fit in the territorial expansion policies undertaken by the Portuguese government; to relate the process of urban formation and development of such nuclei with the categories of analysis povoação-freguesia-vila by discussing the relations and influences they exert over one another and their territory, as well as to unveil, as much as possible, the configuration the urban spaces that were shaped along the 18th century

Contra as Secas: a engenharia e as origens de um planejamento regional no nordeste brasileiro

Droughts surfaced in 1877 as a crucial problem for the birthing Brazilian nation. Engineers, who formed the country's technical and scientific elite, took it upon themselves to study, understand and fight the problem through planned actions of intervention on space. This work, based on proposals and discussions contained in engineering magazines and reports, aims to provide elements for the comprehension of how these systematized actions against droughts, in the Iate nineteenth and early twentieth century, contributed to spatial analysis and the formation of a (then-inexistent) regional and territorial planning discipline in Brazi!. Engineers, by taking up the position of masterminds in the country's modernization, guaranteed for themselves personal economic stability, social prestige and political power. By understanding nature, either as a resource to be exploited or an adversary to national progress, they contributed to the delimitation of the region now known as the Northeast. By seeking to understand the drought phenomenon, they created knowledge about the space they sought to intervene on; by constructing their projects amid political and economical difficulty, they changed the organizational structures of cities and country in the northeast. The proposals for açudes (Iarge water reservoirs) allowed the fixation of population and the resistance against droughts; the roads - railroads and automotive roadways - connected the sertão to the capitais and the coast, speeding up help to the affected populations during droughts and allowing the circulation of goods so as to strengthen the local economies in normal rimes. The adopted practices and techniques, adapted from foreign experience and developed through trial and improvement, were consolidated as an eminently spatial intervention course, even if a theoretical body of regional or territorial planning wasn't formed in Brazil. Regional Planning proper was first applied in the country in the Northeast itself, in the 1950s, based off an economical view of reality in order to achieve development. The engineer's work prior tothat date, however, cannot be dlsconsldered. It was proved that, despite facing financial and political hurdles, engineers had a profound commitment to the problem and intended to act systematically to transform the economical and social relations in the region, in order to be victorious in their struggle against droughts

Avaliação da exposição crónica ao mancozebe pelo consumo de pera rocha

A agricultura é um dos setores que garante a sustentabilidade das economias mundiais e permite combater a pobreza, contudo, para tal, tem que recorrer aos pesticidas, que visam garantir um maior rendimento da produção, protegendo as culturas dos organismos nocivos. A utilização de pesticidas não apresenta só vantagens, sendo a principal desvantagem a presença de resíduos de pesticidas nos alimentos que consumimos, dos quais fazem parte as frutas. Neste contexto, o presente estudo, teve por objetivo contribuir para a realização de uma avaliação qualitativa do risco da exposição ao mancozebe por ingestão de peras, produzidas na região Oeste de Portugal (pera rocha), pela população residente nessa mesma região. O mancozebe é um fungicida que pertence ao grupo dos etilenobisditiocarbomatos (EBD’s) e é um dos pesticidas mais utilizados pelos agricultores, devido a sua baixa toxicidade aguda. No presente estudo foi calculada a Ingestão Diária Máxima Teórica (IDMT) para o mancozebe, os valores da concentração do pesticida na fruta e os dados de consumo alimentar. A caracterização do risco foi feita comparando-se a IDMT com as doses diária aceitáveis (IDA) obtidas para cada categoria de população estudada (crianças em idade pré-escolar, crianças, jovens, adolescentes, adultos e seniores). Para tal, foram analisadas peras provenientes de cinco agricultores que entregam a sua fruta na central frutícola (Ecofrutas, Lda). As análises ao mancozebe foram efetuadas por um laboratório externo (Kudam, Lda.), mensalmente (de Setembro a Fevereiro e em Junho de 2013) nas peras não lavadas e, em Junho, nas peras lavadas. Com o objetivo de caracterizar o perfil sociodemográfico, o padrão de consumo e o comportamento do consumidor de pera rocha, realizou-se um questionário, em nove concelhos da região Oeste de Portugal (Bombarral, Cadaval, Alcobaça, Torres Vedras, Nazaré, Caldas da Rainha, Óbidos, Peniche e Lourinhã) tendo sido a amostra de 400. Sobre o perfil sociodemográfico do consumidor habitual de pera rocha verificou-se que são adultos (18,8%), com idades compreendidas entre os 26-54 anos, tem por habilitações literárias o ensino básico (59,2%) encontram-se empregados (60,8%) e o seu agregado familiar é composto por adultos (61,5%). O padrão de consumo é o seguinte: os consumidores habituais do fruto consomem uma pera/dia (66,9%), ao almoço (24,1%) e 64,3% mencionou não possuir nenhum membro do seu agregado familiar que seja consumidor habitual de pera rocha. O estudo do comportamento do consumidor, antes do consumo da pera rocha, evidenciou que os inquiridos conservam as peras na fruteira (61,2%), têm por hábito lavar o fruto antes do consumir (88,8%) com casca (38,8%) e que a maior parte da amostra compra a sua fruta no supermercado (49,1%). No que diz respeito à altura em que a pera rocha é consumida, em maior quantidade, observou-se que é no verão (37,9%), uma vez que é a época da colheita do fruto. Quanto à caracterização do risco efetuada, verificou-se que não existe risco associado ao consumo diário de uma, duas ou três peras, uma vez que a IDMT não ultrapassou a IDA (%IDA> 100) nas categorias de população estudadas (crianças em idade pré-escolar, crianças, jovens, adolescentes, adultos e seniores). No presente estudo, as categorias de população que apresentaram uma maior % IDA, pelo consumo diário de uma ou duas peras foram as crianças em idade pré-escolar e a categoria das crianças, quando estas consomem três peras/dia.

Gerald Thomas e a (des)encenação do mundo : as paisagens visuais como grafia de intertextualidades, citações e hipertextos

This work is the result of a personal uneasy about the form and development taken by contemporaneous theater concerning its relationship with other media to create new hybrid organisms and organizing itself through new possibilities, connections, as well as with different levels of arrangements in the construction of the scene. The purpose of this research is to study the connections between the scene and the media within the context of the formation of hybrid organism wich is the key element. That stands for an aesthetic characteristic of the post-dramatic condition of contemporary theatre in Brazil. Thus, this work will investigate the concept of visual landscapes within the context of Gerald Thomas Sievers work in Brazil in the period of the first decade of twenty-first century having the play Rainha Mentira (2007) (Queen Liar, 2007) as the main empirical object of analysis, discussion and application of the framework developed in the text

O Palácio dos Câmara "aos Mártires" : um caso excecional da opulência seiscentista

Um dos edifícios de tipologia palaciana que se destaca na iconografia da Lisboa antiga corresponde ao desaparecido Palácio dos Câmara, condes de Vila Franca (1583) e de Ribeira Grande (depois de 1662). Situava-se na colina de S. Francisco, uma área de ocupação aristocrática da cidade, frente à igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, a leste do Paço dos Duques de Bragança e a norte do Corpo Santo, onde se erguia perto da margem do Tejo, o também já desaparecido Palácio Corte Real. Porventura ofuscada pela grandiosidade destes imóveis, a historiografia olisiponense não tem prestado a devida atenção ao palácio dos Câmara que, no entanto, deve ser encarado como um dos mais significativos palácios urbanos da primeira metade de seiscentos. Com base no cruzamento de fontes iconográficas, judiciais, administrativas e epistolares, o presente estudo dá conta dos aspetos da encomenda, da autoria e datação envolvidos na sua construção, procurando, acima de tudo, caracterizá-lo do ponto de vista tipológico, espacial e distributivo, por forma a entender as opções arquitetónicas, os padrões de gosto e as vivências do espaço interior protagonizados por um dos mais destacados membros da nobreza titular portuguesa.

A travessia do trágico no romance d A Pedra do Reino de Ariano Suassuna

The present work seeks to investigate and discuss about the Greek Tragedy s elements at Ariano Suassuna s romance called τ Romance d A Pedra do Reino e o Principe do Sangue do Vai e Volta, connecting it directly to mythic, epic, poetic, and romances aspects at his work. The romance has as the protagonist the backcountry Pedro Dinis Quaderna. Quaderna is a character which is simultaneously popular, elitist, enigmatic, naive, and an intellectual man that has a great erudition. Quaderna is a character that seeks, by using the Literature, to reestablish a Brazilian backcountry kingdom which he s supposedly the king, always trying to empathizes the Brazilian northeast region like if it was a nation apart. By impressing a national personality to the Brazilian northeast , Quaderna tries to become an epic poet just like Homer, denoting a strong influence of the Epopee. Quaderna, just like many characters of Greek Tragedy, has at his family past time a lot of tragic circumstances. These facts that ocurred to his relativos like the your uncle Pedro Sebastião Garcia Barreto s death, the disappearement of his cousin Sinésio, and the contest between the brothers Arésio and Sinésio, and others aspects, remind us remarkable influences, beyond the Epopee, of the Greek Tragedy. By reading the romance we may notice many similarities between Quaderna s trajectory and Greek Tragedy heroes. To make an analysis about the tragic aspects at Suassuna s work, we need to dialogue with many theoreticals that have written about the tragic and comparate with many parts of Suassuna s with classics character s texts of Greek Tragedy. At the following chapters we seek to provide romance s elementaries notions, as well as tragic notions, the dialogue with mythics aspects and the tragic and epic aplicability at Suassuna s work
