The symbology of the sea in Lygia Bojunga Nunes's work: a reflection on utopian and dystopian framing

The ambivalent image of the sea is recurrent in Bojunga Nunes’s work. It receives a lot of symbolic meanings in her production, being sometimes a positive and sometimes a negative element. Thus, the sea is used in a utopic way, as a place for pleasure and leisure, and in a dystopic way, as scenery of a rite of passage, which includes the pain and suffering, part of the rite of passage that characterizes the bildungsromans. So, if in some texts the sea assumes a utopic character, being a place of snuggle, security, the ideal to reach, in others it is represented as dystopic, a place of distress, asphyxia and death. In this text we will study the hypothesis that, even in its dark symbolic meaning, in the author’s work the sea is an element of reflection and revelation. Thereby, it assumes metaphorically a sense of magnification of the reader’s expectative, being an element of emancipation. The objective of this text is to present a reflection on the sea’s symbolism on the mentioned texts and its importance for the reader’s formation.

La funcionalidad de las creencias

[ES]Este trabajo muestra de forma comparativa la simbología existente con relación a la muerte en dos comunidades gallegas. Aquí presento unas breves reflexiones sobre los estereotipos, todo ello articulado en los silencios que se producen en los saltos generacionales. Finalizando con la delimitación de los espacios físicos correspondientes a las diferencias simbólicas en la construcción de los “unos” y los “otros”.

The Rhetorical Construction of Corporate Logos

This research is set in the context of today’s societies, in which the corporate visual symbology of a business, corporation or institution constitutes an essential way to transmit its corporate image. Traditional discursive procedures can be discovered in the development of these signs. The rhetorical strategies developed by the great classical authors appear in the logo-symbols expressing the corporate values of today’s companies. Thus, rhetoric is emerging once again in the sense it had many centuries ago: A repertory of rules that, paradoxically, standardizes the deviations of language and whose control is synonymous with power. The main objective of this study is to substantiate the rhetorical construction of logos using as a model of analysis the classical process of creating discourse. This involves understanding logos as persuasive discourses addressed to a modern audience. Our findings show that the rhetorical paradigm can be considered as a creative model for the con­struction of an original logo consistent with a company’s image.

O (in)dizível em Uma aventura secreta do Marquês de Bradomín de Teresa Veiga

A dissertação baseia-se numa leitura do conto “Uma aventura secreta do marquês de Bradomín”. Este texto narrativo destaca questões relacionadas com a ficção contemporânea portuguesa, como a construção da personagem com estatuto de protagonista, oscilando entre ser real e ser ficcional, a autoria feminina, a importância do dizer e do silêncio. A personagem feminina apresenta a sua história partilhada com o marquês de Bradomín e os sentidos mudam em consonância com as condições temporal e discursiva; a simbologia torna-se um acto de ideologia e de interpretação, uma vez que a expressividade humana está para além das palavras, produzindo silêncios enquanto se discursa. A personagem escreve por palavras que ocultam outras, que são apenas aludidas e, como a narradora recorre à memória, o seu texto discursivo pode apresentar-se de forma lacunar, com a desculpa do esquecimento. Neste caso, os sentidos podem ser sempre outros e o (in)dizível persiste.

Manejo de la simbología en el ascenso y consolidación de Hugo Chávez en el poder

Los proyectos políticos están en constante necesidad de legitimidad para llevar a cabo las acciones que planean y para mantenerse en el poder mientras las desarrollan, de esto no ha escapado la política latinoamericana y menos aún la venezolana. En su recorrido de más de dos décadas Hugo Chávez utilizó la simbología para hacerse al poder y lograr encaminar los deseos (y los votos) de los venezolanos hacia la idea de revolución y reconstrucción del país que él representa. El proyecto Chávez es de carácter expansionista y el manejo de la simbología que se utiliza en él va encaminado también hacia el posicionamiento a lo largo y ancho del continente de la doctrina promulgada por su líder.

A pintura do autorretrato contemporâneo em portugal : breve panorâmica

Associado a histórias de fascínio, envolvendo conceitos como mitologia, lenda, simbologia, narcisismo, afirmação, reivindicações múltiplas, semelhança, realismo, naturalismo, introspeção… o autorretrato é repositório de uma imensa complexidade, suscetível de formulações inesgotáveis, na ótica da semântica e da polissemia. Na época medieval, a imagem que de si deixou o pintor remete para o esbatimento da identidade individual, dada a sua inserção em contextos de representações sagradas, ou a sua apresentação como personagem histórica ou mitológica. A autonomia intelectual foi reconhecida durante o Renascimento, sensível à representação do indivíduo e à valorização do retrato, com base na fi delidade ao motivo e na singularidade do indivíduo. O autorretrato conquistou a sua independência. Com o Romantismo afirma-se o autorretrato introspetivo, a caminho da negação da autoimagem fundamentada na semelhança/parecença, que vai acompanhar as tendências do não figurativismo, as quais aparecem e se desenvolvem no século XX. O autorretrato continua a mediar a busca identitária.

Communicating thematic data quality with web map services

Geospatial information of many kinds, from topographic maps to scientific data, is increasingly being made available through web mapping services. These allow georeferenced map images to be served from data stores and displayed in websites and geographic information systems, where they can be integrated with other geographic information. The Open Geospatial Consortium’s Web Map Service (WMS) standard has been widely adopted in diverse communities for sharing data in this way. However, current services typically provide little or no information about the quality or accuracy of the data they serve. In this paper we will describe the design and implementation of a new “quality-enabled” profile of WMS, which we call “WMS-Q”. This describes how information about data quality can be transmitted to the user through WMS. Such information can exist at many levels, from entire datasets to individual measurements, and includes the many different ways in which data uncertainty can be expressed. We also describe proposed extensions to the Symbology Encoding specification, which include provision for visualizing uncertainty in raster data in a number of different ways, including contours, shading and bivariate colour maps. We shall also describe new open-source implementations of the new specifications, which include both clients and servers.

Da literatura e da sociedade na obra Os corumbas, de Amando Fontes

This is a study of the book Os Corumbas, by Amando Fontes, published in 1933, that deals with the beginning of industrialization in the industrial city, as well as the impacts suffered by the poorest. We realized that there is a series of meanings and symbolic elements in the composition of characters, passages and happenings, objects and spaces that permeate the literary speech of Amando Fontes. Our objective, through this analysis, was to reach a better understanding of the relationship between Literature and Sociology, some passages of the text and the author s intention, as well as to problematize the imaginative meanings of the story. The narrative used by Fontes clearly shows us the utilization of the literary production for the understanding of sociological aspects in the initial moments of industrialization as well as people s adaptation to this new reality

O sertão virou verso, o verso virou sertão:sertão e sertanejos representados e ressignificados pela Literatura de Cordel (1900-1940)

Backland¹ are not only geographic spaces limited by physically established borders. It is a space composed by events, experiences, behavior, symbology, manners related to how to live and see the world. It is developed from historical processes and layers of discourses that contact each other, compete among themselves, establish agreement, promote consensus which define, resignify and update them over time. The present paper seeks to analyze and discuss the forms in which discourses produced by cordel literature² sold and consumed in popular locations, from backlands to coast cities, during the first four decades of 20th century, represented the environment, habits, moral codes, cultural traits, social types, rites and beliefs, related to northeastern backlands. The paper also aims to investigate the forms on how discourses produced by representations contributed to the constitution of backlands as a space culturally constructed. Poems from the poet and editor João Martins de Athayde will be used to establish dialogues between discourses produced by cordel and others discursive modalities, such as, newspapers, prose literature, painting, texts of memoirists and historiography, about backlands, analyzing how those representations circulated, were consumed and absorbed by backlands and other spaces inhabitants, contacted and agreed with other types of discourse, supporting the establishment of backlands as a space and countryside people as a social type

Participação social e designação de espécie-bandeira: ações complementares à conservação de um parque estadual em área urbana

Facing environmental problems the planet appears several alternative preventive and control on behalf of the equation between development and environmental protection. One of the alternatives implemented in Brazil to conservation of biodiversity was the creation of protected natural areas regulated by the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC). This is an integrated study of the Comunication / Environmental Conservation, which prioritizes social participation as a complementary in the conservation process, the particular case of the Dunas do Natal State Park, the first conservation area in Rio Grande do Norte, for full protection. It takes into account the roles environmental, scientific and Park, which harbors a unique biodiversity, including endemic species and the fact being located in an urban area. It proposes the use of two complementary instruments, such as strategies for conservation. Considering the various individual experiences, it was analyzed the perception that the community is directly related to the Park. From this promoted the democratization of information about the park, its biodiversity and conservation. As another conservation tool, it was suggested the use of a flagship species for the park, or a body chosen symbol for environmental or social reasons, in order to protect and conserve certain natural environments, from the understanding and co -community participation. In this case, as proposed flag Coleodactylus natalensis species, the lizard-the-litter, to be endemic remnants of Atlantic Forest Park as having the type locality, be one of the smallest species of the world, South America's lowest-dependent shadow of the forest, sensitive to human action and therefore very vulnerable. This suggestion finds support in the degree of public acceptance that interacts directly with the Park, as a result of the evaluation of their perceptions. It was further observed in this study that this symbology to be used in order to promote the democratization of the Park and its biodiversity has an identification result, curiosity and probable involvement of the population with the issues of the Park
