Traduzindo a alteridade : a questão da identidade nacional em Eduardo Acevedo Díaz e Euclides da Cunha

A presente tese intitulada Traduzindo a Alteridade: a questão da identidade nacional em Eduardo Acevedo Díaz e Euclides da Cunha tem como objetivo analisar a construção dos arquétipos nos textos Ismael e Os Sertões e de como tais tipos colaboraram para a construção do conceito de nação nas obras em questão, bem como analisar a utilização da imagem do outro nessa mesma construção. Com base na Literatura Comparada, nos Estudos de Tradução, na Teoria da Literatura e em outras áreas do conhecimento, foi possível constatar que os autores uruguaio e brasileiro se valeram da obra Facundo: civilização e barbárie no pampa argentino, de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, para comporem suas obras, ainda que distantes temporalmente e com visões diferentes. Esse movimento mostra que as produções literárias latino-americanas possuem uma ligação porque igualmente registraram os tipos presentes no lugar e o próprio lugar em que habitavam, colaborando, assim, para a construção do sistema literário latino-americano, visto que, em alguns casos, esses arquétipos eram comuns entre os diferentes países. A convergência desses arquétipos, como o gaúcho/gaucho do pampa do Rio Grande do Sul do Brasil, do Uruguai e da Argentina, demonstra que a cultura ultrapassa fronteiras políticas, e corrobora a idéia de Ángel Rama acerca da existência da comarca cultural. No caso do arquétipo do sertanejo, fundamentado por Euclides da Cunha, não há um correspondente nas demais produções em questão, principalmente porque sua identidade está impregnada de cor local, cujas particularidades não são compartilhadas pelos demais países. A convergência ou divergência das características de cada tipo local interfere na produção das traduções, uma vez que, quando dessemelhantes, a visibilidade do tradutor é necessária e sua interferência acontece no sentido de aproximar o diferente da cultura alvo. Também os Estudos de Tradução e as análises tradutórias colaboraram igualmente para que as investigações acerca das obras evoluíssem no sentido de estudarmos como se deu, na escrita dos autores e dos tradutores, a consciência do outro no processo de construção do eu nacional.

J.W. Spencer fonds, 1866, 1881-1921

Joseph William Winthrop Spencer (commonly known as J.W. Spencer) was a geologist and geomorphologist best known for his work on the geology of southern Ontario and the Great Lakes. He was born in Dundas, Upper Canada in 1851, but moved to Hamilton, Ontario in 1867. In 1871, he began studies in geology at McGill College in Montreal. In 1875 he worked in the Michigan copper mines and shortly afterwards prepared a thesis on the copper deposits. He submitted this thesis to the University of Gottingen in Germany in 1877 and was awarded a doctorate in geology, the second Canadian to earn a doctorate in this field. In 1880, he became a professor of geology and chemistry at King’s College in Windsor, N.S. Subsequently, he taught at the University of Missouri, and then the University of Georgia, but moved to Washington, D.C. in 1894, where he worked as a consultant geologist. Spencer spent much of his life studying preglacial river valleys in Ontario and the origins of the Great Lakes, as well as the Niagara River and Falls. In 1907, he published a book titled The Falls of Niagara: their evolution and varying relations to the Great Lakes. His opinions in these areas differed from some of his contemporaries, namely the American geologist Grove Karl Gilbert. Gilbert published a review of the The Falls of Niagara that exposed some flaws and inaccuracies in Spencer’s estimate of the age of the falls. Spencer’s studies also took him to the Caribbean and Central America. In 1920 he moved back to Canada, but died the following year.

Early Rheumatoid Arthritis in Latin America: Low Socioeconomic Status Related to High Disease Activity at Baseline

Objective. To determine the influence of socioeconomic factors on disease activity in a Latin American (LA) early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) multinational inception cohort at baseline. Methods. Clinical evaluation, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), 4-variable Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index (DI), and erosions were recorded in 1,093 patients with early RA (<1 year from onset). Multivariate analyses evaluated influences of sex, age, marital status, education, medical coverage, SES, and ethnicity on HAQ DI, DAS28-ESR, and presence of erosions. Results. Ethnicities included 43% Mestizo, 31% Caucasian, 19% African LA, 4% Amerindian, and 3% other. Fifty-eight percent were of low/low-middle SES, 42% had <8 years of education, 21% had no medical coverage, median disease duration was 6 months (25th, 75th percentiles 4, 9 months), median HAQ DI score was 1.25 (25th, 75th percentiles 0.63, 2.00), median DAS28-ESR score was 6.2 (25th, 75th percentiles 4.9, 7.2), and 25% had erosions. Women and Mestizos, African LA, and Amerindians had earlier onset than men or Caucasians (P < 0.01). When adjusted by country, the analysis of covariance model showed that low/low-middle SES, female sex, partial coverage, and older age were associated with worse HAQ DI scores; only low/low-middle SES was associated with higher DAS28 scores. Statistically significant differences were found in HAQ DI and DAS28 scores between countries. When excluding country, low/low-middle SES, female sex, and no coverage were associated with worse HAQ DI and DAS28 scores, whereas separated/divorced/widowed status was associated with worse HAQ DI scores and age was associated with worse DAS28 scores. Logistic regression showed that older age, no coverage, and the Amerindian and other ethnic groups were associated with erosions. Conclusion. We compared early RA patients from the main LA ethnic groups. Our findings suggest that low/low-middle SES is important in determining disease activity. A more genetic-related background for erosions is possible.
