From physics to metaphysics: philosophy and style in the critical writings of T. S. Eliot (1913-1935)

This thesis considers Eliot's critical writing from the late 1910s till the mid-1930s, in the light of his PhD thesis - Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F. H. Bradley - and a range of unpublished material: T S. Eliot's Philosophical Essays and Notes (1913- 4) in the Hayward Bequest (King's College, Cambridge University); T. S. Eliot's Family Papers in the T. S. Eliot Collection at the Houghton Library (Harvard University); and items from the Harvard University Archives at the Pusey Library. 'Me thesis offers a comprehensive view of Eliot's critical development throughout this important period. It starts by considering The Sacred Wood's ambivalence towards the metaphysical philosophy of F. H. Bradley and Eliot's apparent adoption of a scientific method, under the influence of Bertrand Russell. It will be argued that Eliot uses rhetorical strategies which simultaneously subvert the method he is propounding, and which set the tone for an assessment of his criticism throughout the 1920s. His indecision, in this period, about the label 'Metaphysical' for some poets of the seventeenth century, reveals the persistence of the philosophical thought he apparently rejects in 1916, when he chooses not to pursue a career in philosophy in Harvard. This rhetorical tactic achieves its fulfilment in Dante (1929), where Eliot finds a model in the medieval allegorical method and 'philosophical' poetry. Allegory is also examined in connection with the evaluation of Eliot's critical writings themselves to determine, for instance, the figurative dimension of his early scientific vocabulary and uncover metaphysical residues he had explicitly disowned but would later embrace. Finally, it is suggested that, the hermeneutics of allegory are historical and it is used here to test the relationship between Eliot's early and later critical writings, that is the early physics and the later metaphysics.

Mammography findings following electron intraoperative radiotherapy or external radiotherapy for breast cancer treatment

Radiotherapy following breast cancer conserving surgery decreases the risks of local recurrence. Because 85% of breast cancers relapse in or around the surgical bed there has been some debate on the need for irradiating the whole breast. Electron intraoperative radiotherapy (ELIOT) has been used as a viable alternative for conventional external radiotherapy (RT). While the former requires a single dose of 21 Gy in the tumoral bed, the latter requires 5-6 weeks of irradiation with a total dose of 50 Gy and a boost of 10 Gy that irradiates the surgical bed. Herein, we investigated whether any significant differences exist between the mammography findings obtained from patients submitted to one of the two techniques. Two groups of 30 patients each were included in this study. All patients had mammographies taken at 12 and 24 months after finishing treatment. The mammography findings evaluated were: cutaneous thickening (>2 mm), architectural distortion secondary to fibrosis, edema, calcifications (both benign and malignant), and fat necrosis. For all variables studied, there was no statistical difference between the two groups. This indicates that the mammography findings obtained in either 12- or 24-month follow-up periods after breast cancer conserving surgery are similar, regardless of which of the two radiotherapy techniques (ELIOT or RT) is employed as a treatment for breast cancer.

Roy Campbell (1901-1957): o hispanista escocês da África Austral

Cinquenta anos após o trágico desaparecimento de Roy Campbell, em acidente rodoviário ocorrido próximo de Setúbal, vale a pena revisitar a figura deste poeta e hispanista de ascendência escocesa, nascido em Durban, cuja actividade lusófila o torna merecedor de um estudo fatalmente mais vasto do que este artigo visa empreender. Não obstante a importância das vivências sul-africanas e espanholas (por exemplo, o testemunho presencial da eclosão, em 1936, da Guerra Civil), a orientação comparativista desta publicação justifica que privilegiemos as vertentes inglesa e anglo-portuguesa de Roy Campbell, começando por apontar, no que toca à primeira e além do parentesco (familiar, que não político-ideológico...) com George Orwell (1903-1950), a contemporaneidade e os contactos mantidos com poetas, romancistas, ensaístas e críticos como Wyndham Lewis (1884-1957), os irmãos Sitwell (Edith, 1887-1964, Osbert, 1892-1969 e Sacheverell, 1897-1988), T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), 5 Vita Sackville- West (1892-1962), L. P. Hartley (1895-1972), Robert Graves (1895-1985), Edmund Blunden (1896-1974), o também sul-africano Laurens Van der Post (1906-1996) e Dylan Thomas (1914-1953).
