Em busca de uma poesia universal: Murilo Mendes na Itália (1957-1975)

Este trabalho é o resultado da análise de cinco livros da fase italiana (1957-1975) do poeta Murilo Mendes (1901-1975), com a intenção principal de se extrair deles a presença e a influência da Literatura e da História da arte italianas na produção do poeta mineiro. Murilo Mendes, que na Itália se tornou professor universitário e praticou a crítica de arte com intensidade, chegou a escrever dois livros em italiano. As duas primeiras obras aqui analisadas, Retratos-relâmpago e Locchio del poeta, recolhem textos em prosa sobre artistas de contextos, épocas e países diferentes: da música à literatura às artes plásticas. Esses textos escritos entre prosa e poesia são o resultado de uma maior aproximação à reflexão crítico-teórica por parte de Murilo, que, ao analisar um artista, recorre aos mesmos recursos, motivos e técnicas que irá colocar em prática na própria obra poética. Nos últimos livros de poesia do poeta mineiro (Siciliana, Convergência e Ipotesi), encontram-se de fato alguns desses elementos, como, sobretudo, o lírico-autobiográfico e o crítico-social. Na Itália, a poesia de Murilo se universaliza ao superar, segundo o impulso do Essencialismo, as fronteiras de espaço e tempo. A rede de citações se multiplica, parecendo representar uma última e desesperada tentativa de salvar a Arte e sua Tradição da catástrofe geral da sociedade moderna

Reflective writing: The student nurse's perspective on reflective writing and poetry writing.

Summary Background Reflective writing is a mandatory part of nurse education but how students develop their skills and use reflection as part of their experiential learning remains relatively unknown. Understanding reflective writing in all forms from the perspective of a student nurse is therefore important. Objectives To explore the use of reflective writing and the use of poetry in pre-registered nursing students. Design A qualitative design was employed to explore reflective writing in pre-registered nursing students. Setting A small university in Scotland. Participants BSc (Hons) Adult and Mental Health Pre-registration Student Nurses. Methods Two focus groups were conducted with 10 student nurses during March 2012. Data was analysed thematically using the framework of McCarthy (1999). Results Students found the process of reflective writing daunting but valued it over time. Current educational methods, such as assessing reflective accounts, often lead to the ‘narrative’ being watered down and the student feeling judged. Despite this, reflection made students feel responsible for their own learning and research on the topic. Some students felt the use of models of reflection constricting, whilst poetry freed up their expression allowing them to demonstrate the compassion for their patient under their care. Conclusions Poetry writing gives students the opportunity for freedom of expression, personal satisfaction and a closer connection with their patients, which the more formal approach to reflective writing did not offer. There is a need for students to have a safe and supportive forum in which to express and have their experiences acknowledged without the fear of being judged.

The Daedalus system: A tool for the Italian investigating magistrate

Daedalus is a computer tool, developed by an Italian magistrate - Carmelo Asaro - and integrated in his own daily routine as an investigating magistrate conducting inquiries, then as a prosecutor if and when the case investigated goes to court. This tool has recently been adopted by magistrates in judiciary offices throughout Italy, spawning moreover other related projects. First, this paper describes a sample session with daedalus. Next, an overview of an array of judicial tools leads to positioning daedalus in the context of the spectrum.
