Anticlericalismo em mutação: as três versões de O Crime do Padre Amaro (1875-1876-1880), de Eça de Queirós

A pesquisa visa estudar as três versões de O Crime do Padre Amaro (1875, 1876, 1880) pelo viés da religiosidade, do anticlericalismo, da política. Ao abrir a dissertação, apresentar-se-á um quadro sucinto do momento histórico em que a obra foi escrita. A obra de José Maria Eça de Queirós costuma ser dividida em três fases: o primeiro momento, dito romântico, das Prosas Bárbaras (1866-1867) e da primeira versão de O Crime do Padre Amaro (1875); o segundo momento, quando, atraído pelas teorias do realismo/naturalismo, escreve a segunda e a terceira versões do Crime do Padre Amaro (1876 e 1880) e o Primo Basílio (1878); e o terceiro, desligado de normas específicas, de O Mandarim (1880), A Relíquia (1887), Os Maias (1888), A ilustre casa de Ramires (Póstumo, 1900) e A cidade e as serras (Póstumo, 1901). A história literária de O Crime do Padre Amaro inicia-se em 1875, e continua em duas outras edições, de 1876 e 1880. O objetivo do nosso estudo, ao revisitar as três versões de O Crime do Padre Amaro, é sobretudo analisar o processo de criação queirosiano na obra em tela, para, deste modo, identificar os pontos vitais que levaram o nosso autor a reescrevê-la duas vezes. Nossa hipótese maior de discussão para o problema levantado tem a ver com as teorias do realismo-naturalismo e com o anticlericalismo de Eça

Os médicos e os embates do cientificismo na obra de Eça de Queirós (1875-1888)

Durante a segunda metade do século XIX, a atenção dada à ciência, que ganha então maior espaço na literatura, cresce muito. A Medicina estava em ascensão, e grande foi a sua importância no controle de enfermidades e redução do número de mortes prematuras. Além disso, os médicos ainda enfrentavam, apesar de tudo, dificuldades para se estabelecerem socialmente, uma vez que ainda existia o costume da busca de curandeiros, boticários e benzedeiras. Eça de Queirós, que, neste particular, traça um panorama diversificado e valioso da situação portuguesa, aborda o cientificismo, colocando-o em xeque, juntamente com o discurso religioso, ambos ainda com tanto prestígio na esfera dos assuntos públicos. Muitos estudiosos ainda veem na obra de Eça um caráter exclusivamente doutrinador, e no discurso científico percebem apenas um contraponto ao discurso religioso. A análise de três obras que trazem médicos como personagens secundários ou como protagonistas na trama mostra que não era somente este o papel do cientificismo queirosiano em O Primo Basílio, O Crime do Padre Amaro e Os Maias. Através dos médicos dos romances da fase mais marcadamente realista-naturalista de Eça (Julião, Dr. Gouveia e Carlos Eduardo) é possível perceber o quanto Eça avança de posições mais doutrinárias (da década de 70) para posições mais complexas e problematizadoras (da década de 80)

As Atualizações dos Romances de Eça de Queirós para o Pequeno Ecrã

O corpus principal desta proposta editorial foca-se na análise da adaptação atualizada de dois romances canónicos do consagrado escritor português Eça de Queirós para a televisão generalista nacional, pública e privada, nos produtos ficcionais telenovela e minissérie. É um estudo que relaciona importantes conceitos como adaptação, atualização, romances canónicos, autor clássico, televisão, ficção, telenovela, minissérie e identidade cultural com vista a sugerir uma interpretação possível de duas unidades dramáticas televisuais recriadas a partir de Os Maias (1888) e de O Crime do Padre Amaro (1880). O texto considera de modo preferencial a avaliação textual, a questão estilística, a organização interna e a apreciação estética porque permitem não só observar e criticar as qualidades individuais de cada adaptação, como também desenvolver conhecimentos específicos na área da adaptação atualizada para ficção televisiva em série. Este intento de decomposição meticulosa permite explorar qualidades distintivas e próprias de cada adaptação com a expectativa de dar relevo à individualidade que permite caracterizar cada programa em si mesmo, enfatizando a relação bem-sucedida entre literatura e pequeno ecrã.

EÇA DE QUEIRÓS POR ANTONIO CANDIDO:“ENTRE CAMPO E CIDADE”

RESUMO: Em 1945, na ocasião do centenário do nascimento de Eça de Queirós,Antonio Candido escreveu um artigo intitulado “Entre Campo e Cidade”, noqual propôs uma interpretação para a obra completa do autor português. Otexto fora publicado no Livro do centenário de Eça de Queiroz e posteriormen-te, em 1964, coligido no volume Tese antítese. “Entre campo e cidade” aindahoje é importantíssimo para a compreensão da obra queirosiana, pois estabele-ce um contraponto à crítica tradicional canônica que, quase sempre, exigiu umposicionamento ideológico claro de Eça frente a diversos temas e entendeutudo aquilo que fora escrito depois de Os Maias (1888) como produçõesdesviadas da melhor inspiração crítica realista percebida em obras anteriorescomo O crime do padre Amaro (1871) e O primo Basílio (1886). Candidopropõe uma leitura dos escritos de Eça de Queirós a partir da perspectivadialética, fato que, além de superar a concepção polarizada do Eça esquerdistadas primeiras obras versus o Eça direitista dos textos derradeiros – posições quedireta ou indiretamente a crítica tradicional sempre veiculou - supõe a liberda-de de criação autoral sem a necessária adesão a esta ou aquela vertente ideoló-gica. Como atualmente a produção queirosiana ainda é alvo da polarizaçãointerpretativa, “Entre campo e cidade” torna-se, de fato, atualíssimo, principal-mente àqueles que buscam a revisão da crítica literária canônica que, em muitoscasos, fechou-se em interpretações cristalizadas e relegou este ou aquele escri-tor ou, no caso de Eça, esta ou aquela obra ao limbo da “má” literatura. Opresente trabalho pretende mostrar as particularidades do texto de AntonioCandido, bem como sua interessante proposta ao analisar as obras de Eça deQueirós, principalmente aquelas escritas na última década de vida do autor.

Modernity and the 'failure' of crime control

Rather than understanding the recurrent failure of various attempts at crime control as unfortunate and undesirable aberrations, all too familiar glitches an otherwise uninterrupted teleological march to a better society, such failures are instead positioned as part of the fabric of late modernity itself. That is, society changes not according to a predetermined logic along neatly defined and clearly reasoned tracks, rather it hurtles from crisis to crisis, from failure to failure, and it is the regulation of that failure which produces new initiatives and new forms of governance. Utilising the example of the modern prison, this chapter contends that too great an emphasis upon this institution’s ‘failure’ results not only in a neglect of the many other functions that it serves in the regulation of difference, but also, and more generally, it results in an underestimation of the importance of failure in providing new impetus for social transformation.

Hard Lessons : Reflections on Governance and Crime Control in Late Modernity

The essays in this book catalogue a wide and varied range of instances where 'things go wrong' in the practice of criminal justice. The contributions document instances where laws, policies and practices have produced unintended consequences of the most deleterious kind, drawing attention to 'boot camps', detention centres and specific penal policies such as 'short, sharp shock' and 'three strikes and you're out'. Also examined are policing practices such as 'zero tolerance', 'saturation policing' and punitive laws in the area of drug use, sex offences, and prostitution. It will be demonstrated that in each of these cases, the objectives of government resulted in the creation of new and unforeseen problems requiring further reform to the justice system.

The nature and extent of policing alcohol related crime and reducing violence in and around late night entertainment areas

The misuse of alcohol is well documented in Australia and has been associated with disorders and harms that often require police attention. The extent of alcohol-related incidents requiring police attention has been recorded as substantial in some Australian cities (Arro, Crook, & Fenton, 1992; Davey & French, 1995; Ireland & Thommeny, 1993). A significant proportion of harmful drinking occurs in and around licensed premises (Jochelson, 1997; Stockwell, Masters, Phillips, Daly, Gahegan, Midford, & Philp, 1998; Borges, Cherpitel, & Rosovsky, 1998) and most of these incidents are not reported to police (Bryant & Williams, 2000; Lister, Hobbs, Hall, & Winlow, 2000). Alcohol-related incidents have also been found to be concentrated in certain places at certain times (Jochelson, 1997) and therefore manipulating the context in which these incidents occur may provide a means to prevent and reduce the harm associated with alcohol misuse. One of the major objectives of the present program of research was to investigate the occurrence and resource impact of alcohol-related incidents on operational (general duties) policing across a large geographical area. A second objective of the thesis was to examine the characteristics and temporal/spatial dynamics of police attended alcohol incidents in the context of Place Based theories of crime. It was envisaged that this approach would reveal the patterns of the most prevalent offences and demonstrate the relevance of Place Based theories of crime to understanding these patterns. In addition, the role of alcohol, time and place were also explored in order to examine the association between non criminal traffic offences and other types of criminal offences. A final objective of the thesis was to examine the impact of a situational crime prevention strategy that had been initiated to reduce the violence and disorder associated with late-night liquor trading premises. The program of research in this doctorate thesis has been undertaken through the presentation of published papers. The research was conducted in three stages which produced six manuscripts, five of which were submitted to peer reviewed journals and one that was published in a peer reviewed conference proceedings. Stage One included two studies (Studies 1 & 2) both of which involved a cross sectional approach to examine the prevalence and characteristics of alcohol-related incidents requiring police attendance across three large geographical areas that included metropolitan cities, provincial regions and rural areas. Stage Two of the program of research also comprised two cross sectional quantitative studies (Studies 3 & 4) that investigated the temporal and spatial dynamics of the major offence categories attended by operational police in a specific Police District (Gold Coast). Stage Three of the program of research involved two studies (Studies 5 & 6) that assessed the effectiveness of a situational crime prevention strategy. The studies employed a pre-post design to assess the impact on crime, disorder and violence by preventing patrons from entering late-night liquor trading premises between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. (lockout policy). Although Study Five was solely quantitative in nature, Study Six included both quantitative and qualitative aspects. The approach adopted in Study Six, therefore facilitated not only a quantative comparison of the impact of the lockout policy on different policing areas, but also enabled the processes related to the implementation of the lockout policy to be examined. The thesis reports a program of research involving a common data collection method which then involved a series of studies being conducted to explore different aspects of the data. The data was collected from three sources. Firstly a pilot phase was undertaken to provide participants with training. Secondly a main study period was undertaken immediately following the pilot phase. The first and second sources of data were collected between 29th March 2004 and 2nd May 2004. Thirdly, additional data was collected between the 1st April 2005 and 31st May 2005. Participants in the current program of research were first response operational police officers who completed a modified activity log over a 9 week period (4 week pilot phase & 5 week survey study phase), identifying the type, prevalence and characteristics of alcohol-related incidents that were attended. During the study period police officers attended 31,090 alcohol-related incidents. Studies One and Two revealed that a substantial proportion of current police work involves attendance at alcohol-related incidents (i.e., 25% largely involving young males aged between 17 and 24 years). The most common incidents police attended were vehicle and/or traffic matters, disturbances and offences against property. The major category of offences most likely to involve alcohol included vehicle/traffic matters, disturbances and offences against the person (e.g., common & serious assaults). These events were most likely to occur in the late evenings and early hours of the morning on the weekends, and importantly, usually took longer for police to complete than non alcohol-related incidents. The findings in Studies Three and Four suggest that serious traffic offences, disturbances and offences against the person share similar characteristics and occur in concentrated places at similar times. In addition, it was found that time, place and incident type all have an influence on whether an incident attended by a police officer is alcohol-related. Alcohol-related incidents are more likely to occur in particular locations in the late evenings and early mornings on the weekends. In particular, there was a strong association between the occurrence of alcohol-related disturbances and alcohol-related serious traffic offences in regards to place and time. In general, stealing and property offences were not alcohol-related and occurred in daylight hours during weekdays. The results of Studies Five and Six were mixed. A number of alcohol-related offences requiring police attention were significantly reduced for some policing areas and for some types of offences following the implementation of the lockout policy. However, in some locations the lockout policy appeared to have a negative or minimal impact. Interviews with licensees revealed that although all were initially opposed to the lockout policy as they believed it would have a negative impact on business, most perceived some benefits from its introduction. Some of the benefits included, improved patron safety and the development of better business strategies to increase patron numbers. In conclusion, the overall findings of the six studies highlight the pervasive nature of alcohol across a range of criminal incidents, demonstrating the tremendous impact alcohol-related incidents have on police. The findings also demonstrate the importance of time and place in predicting the occurrence of alcohol-related offences. Although this program of research did not set out to test Place Based theories of crime, these theories were used to inform the interpretation of findings. The findings in the current research program provide evidence for the relevance of Place Based theories of crime to understanding the factors contributing to violence and disorder, and designing relevant crime prevention strategies. For instance, the results in Studies Five and Six provide supportive evidence that this novel lockout initiative can be beneficial for public safety by reducing some types of offences in particular areas in and around late-night liquor trading premises. Finally, intelligent-led policing initiatives based on problem oriented policing, such as the lockout policy examined in this thesis, have potential as a major crime prevention technique to reduce specific types of alcohol-related offences.

Show me a bad kid and I’ll show you a lousy parent : making parents responsible for youth crime in Australian and Canadian Contexts

This article surveys literature bearing on the issue of parental liability and responsibility for the crimes of young offenders, with a particular focus on comparing different approaches to dealing with the issue in Australia and Canada. This comparative analysis of Australian and Canadian legislative and policy approaches is situated within a broader discussion of arguments about the “punitive turn” in youth justice, responsibilisation, and cross-jurisdictional criminal justice policy transfer and convergence. Our findings suggest that there are significant differences in the manner and extent to which Australia and Canada have invoked parental responsibility laws and policies as part of the solution to dealing with youth crime. We conclude by speculating on some of the reasons for these differences and establishing an agenda for additional needed cross-jurisdictional research. In particular, we argue that it would be fruitful to undertake a cross-jurisdictional study that examines the development and effects of parental responsibility laws across a larger number of different Western countries as well as across individual states and provinces within these national jurisdictions.
