Análisis de la Política Exterior rusa enmarcada en el concepto de “Espacio Post-soviético”, a la luz de la teoría de Realismo Clásico de Hans Morgenthau durante los dos periodos de Vladimir Putin, 2000 A 2008

La Política Exterior rusa ha tenido un giro sustancial con la llegada de Vladimir Putin en el año 2000. En consecuencia, esto se ve reflejado en las acciones tomadas por el Kremlin con las revoluciones de Ucrania (Revolución Naranja) y Georgia (Revolución de las Rosas). La apuesta de los dos mandatos de Putin era claramente influenciar su zona geográficamente más cercana, es decir el "Espacio Post-soviético".

Natureza Humana em Thomas Hobbes e Hans Morgenthau

O artigo discute a conce��ão de natureza humana presente na obra de Hans Morgenthau (1904-1980) a partir de seu clássico. A Política entre as Nações: a luta pelo poder e pela Paz, debatendo o seu papel para o conjunto de sua teoria. Aqui se discutem as diferenças entre esta conce��ão de Morgenthau e a de Thomas Hobbes, na qual se inspira, e as consequências disso para a relação entre Estado, sociedade e entre os próprios Estados na esfera internacional. Discute também a ligação dessa ontologia para o campo das relações internacionais, ligando ao debate da impossibilidade do Estado Mundial e sobre o fenómeno do equilíbrio de poder, na esferadoméstica e no cenário internacional.

Tres novelas de la modernización literaria de México

Una literatura moderna es aquella que atiende a temáticas propias y que representa formas ligadas a las culturas nacionales: personajes representativos del país y lenguaje en correspondencia con su realidad. El presente ensayo se centra en los aportes a la modernización literaria de México —en el contexto de sus procesos de modernización socio-económica— de tres novelas: El luto humano (1943) de José Revueltas (1914-1976), Al filo del agua (1947) de Agustín Yáñez (1904-1980) y Oficio de tinieblas (1962) de Rosario Castellanos (1925-1974). Estos autores se diferencian de los de los narradores que los precedieron en dos aspectos: por su mirada ya distante del proceso revolucionario y por su reflexión sobre aspectos de la condición humana. Además de los temas que trabajan —la Revolución mexicana (1910-1917), la Guerra Cristera (1926-1929) y las contradicciones derivadas de la institucionalización de la Revolución—, ellos han aportan con rasgos formales a la modernidad narrativa del país.

Transculturação, identidade e diferença cultural em O recurso do método e O reino deste mundo de Alejo Carpentier

Este trabalho tem como objeto de estudo dois romances – O Reino deste Mundo e O Recurso do Método, do escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, precursor do real maravilhoso, sob uma perspectiva comparatista a partir das teorias e noções que são de interesse da literatura comparada, como o processo de transculturação na América Latina, a intertextualidade, a descolonização cultural, a carnavalização do seu discurso, a desterritorialização, o hibridismo cultural e literário, a busca da identidade cultural e da consciência latino-americana no contexto sócio-político, histórico e cultural no qual essas obras se inserem. Fundamenta-se esse estudo nas contribuições de dois te��ricos latino-americanos, o etnólogo cubano Fernando Ortíz, pioneiro do conceito de transculturação, e o crítico literário uruguaio Ángel Rama, te��rico da transculturação narrativa na América Latina. Destaca-se, ainda, a relevância que o ato tradutório, em geral, e a tradução literária, em particular, têm como mediadores interculturais, apontando-se algumas questões de tradução cultural nas traduções das obras para o português e o importante papel do tradutor em obras dessa natureza.
