The Outlaw Pirate Heroine, An Analysis of a Durgā Figure in a 1935 Prabhat Film

(Résumé de l'ouvrage) She kills and destroys. She causes illness and disaster. The wild goddess evokes fear and terror. People worship her with blood-sacrifices and alcohol in order to appease her rage, but also in order to participate in her power for she is at once a force of destruction and a force of regeneration, of life, and of sexuality. Her creative violence reflects the ambivalent power of nature. The idea of frightening goddesses is preserved in regionally different forms throughout South Asia. The Institute for the Science of Religions, University of Berne, and the Museum of Anthropology of the University of Zurich, coordinated a symposium on wild goddesses in India and Nepal. The papers and reports on ongoing research presented at this symposium are published in this volume.

Modelos organizadores do pensamento: uma perspectiva de pesquisa sobre o raciocínio moral com adolescentes autores de infração

This article has the aim to expand the perspective of research in the field of morality. We present a proposal of morality study of outlaw teenagers according to Thinking Organizer Models Theory. Through the idea of complexity we search to understand the cognitive process in the elaboration of moral reasoning inside situations of conflict. With this perspective, we developed a research that aimed to identify which organizer models were applied by 20 outlaw male teenagers who abide by social punishment to solve the hypothetical moral conflicts. Through interviews we told them a situation of moral conflict that involved friendship relation, physical aggression and steal. We could identified several models which were joined in three categories. Such models reflected the diversity and regularity that are present inside the elaborated reasoning to solve the conflicts shown by us. We conclude that the diversity of organizer models identified shows the importance of the contents in the construction of moral reasoning.

Age Discrimination in Mental Health Services

The UK government is considering the introduction of legislation to outlaw age discrimination in the provision of public services. The Department of Health commissioned a short piece of research to explore the extent of age discrimination in mental health services. �� Three broad issues are addressed in this report: inequalities between adult and older people�۪s mental health services; inequalities between adults and older people with mental health problems in their use of health and social care services;and knowledge about the likely single equalities legislation in current services and the possible costs of implementation. The report does not examine differences in outcomes.

Conflicting genomes, the demic theory & biodiversity

Organismic-centered Darwinism, in order to use direct phenotypes to measure natural selection's effect, necessitates genome's harmony and uniform coherence plus large population sizes. However, modern gene-centered Darwinism has found new interpretations to data that speak of genomic incoherence and disharmony. As a result of these two conflicting positions a conceptual crisis in Biology has arisen. My position is that the presence of small, even pocket-size, demes is instrumental in generating divergence and phenotypic crisis. Moreover, the presence of parasitic genomes as in acanthocephalan worms, which even manipulate suicidal behavior in their hosts; segregation distorters that change meiosis and Mendelian ratios; selfish genes and selfish whole chromosomes, such as the case of B-chromosomes in grasshoppers; P-elements in Drosophila; driving Y-chromosomes that manipulate sex ratios making males more frequent, as in Hamilton's X-linked drive; male strategists and outlaw genes, are eloquent examples of the presence of real conflicting genomes and of a non-uniform phenotypic coherence and genome harmony. Thus, we are proposing that overall incoherence and disharmony generate disorder but also more biodiversity and creativeness. Finally, if genes can manipulate natural selection, they can multiply mutations or undesirable characteristics and even lethal or detrimental ones, hence the accumulation of genetic loads. Outlaw genes can change what is adaptively convenient even in the direction of the trait that is away from the optimum. The optimum can be "negotiated" among the variants, not only because pleiotropic effects demand it, but also, in some cases, because selfish, outlaw, P-elements or extended phenotypic manipulation require it. With organismic Darwinism the genome in the population and in the individual was thought to act harmoniously without conflicts, and genotypes were thought to march towards greater adaptability. Modern Darwinism has a gene-centered vision in which genes, as natural selection's objects can move in dissonance in the direction which benefits their multiplication. Thus, we have greater opportunities for genomes in permanent conflict.

Glossolalie, traduction et dissonance : l'écriture hors-la-loi d'Antonin Artaud

Dans nombre de ses œuvres, Antonin Artaud n’a eu de cesse de formuler les termes de ce que serait une poésie anarchique, une forme langagière qui permettrait d’abolir la distance entre les mots et les choses, et à laquelle sa poésie aspire sans toutefois parvenir à une telle réalisation. Devant le constat que l’anarchie décrite par Artaud ne peut rendre compte de ce qui se réalise véritablement dans son écriture, ce mémoire pose les questions suivantes : que fait donc la poésie d’Artaud? Existe-t-il une figure qui est à même de rendre compte des modalités d’écriture qui sont à l’œuvre dans les différents textes du poète français? À ces interrogations, la figure du hors-la-loi m’est apparue des plus pertinentes dans la mesure où elle offrait tout un espace à la réflexion et à la conceptualisation. À partir de cette figure, ce mémoire formule donc l’hypothèse que ce qui se joue dans la textualité d’Antonin Artaud est une poétique hors-la-Loi, c’est-à-dire une manière de subvertir, par l’usage de différents procédés littéraires, la Loi. En d’autres termes, la poétique hors-la-Loi produit des effets de dissonance au sein du Symbolique. Pour consolider cette hypothèse, je propose deux axes de réflexion étayés à partir de l’analyse des procédés d’écriture traductologique et glossolalique d’Artaud. Dans un premier temps, la subversion est entrevue à partir des notions d’espace et de territoire. Par la suite, j’étudie la subversion dans son rapport à la temporalité.

Modelos organizadores do pensamento: uma perspectiva de pesquisa sobre o raciocínio moral com adolescentes autores de infração

Este artigo tem como propósito ampliar as perspectivas de investigação no campo da moralidade. Mais especificamente, apresentamos uma proposta para o estudo da moralidade de adolescentes autores de infração, utilizando o referencial teórico=metodológico da Teoria dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento. Buscamos, através da idéia de complexidade, compreender o funcionamento cognitivo na elaboração de raciocínios morais diante de situações de conflito. Com essa perspectiva, fizemos uma investigação que teve por objetivo identificar os modelos organizadores aplicados na resolução de conflitos morais hipotéticos por 20 adolescentes masculinos autores de infração que cumprem medida socioeducativa. Através de entrevistas, narramos uma situação de conflito moral envolvendo uma relação de amizade, agressão física e roubo. Foram identificados 10 modelos organizadores, os quais foram agrupados em 3 categorias. Tais modelos refletiram a diversidade e as regularidades presentes nos raciocínios elaborados para resolver os conflitos apresentados. Concluiu-se que a variedade dos modelos organizadores identificados evidencia a importância dos conteúdos na construção dos raciocínios morais.

O cangaço em “Fogo morto” e em “Os Desvalidos”

O presente estudo visa a estabelecer uma análise comparativa entre dois romances da literatura brasileira do século XX, no que tange à abordagem realizada pelas obras do fenômeno histórico-social do cangaço. As obras escolhidas, Fogo Morto, de José Lins do Rego, e Os Desvalidos, de Francisco Dantas, representam dois momentos distintos da produção ficcional nordestina. A primeira está inserida na corrente ficcional das décadas de 30 e 40. Décimo romance do escritor paraibano, Fogo Morto representa o cangaço na perspectiva do personagem José Amaro, seleiro que se transforma em ajudante do cangaceiro Antônio Silvino. A segunda obra, publicada em 1993, representa uma retomada da ficção regionalista. O romance focaliza o cangaço sob o ponto de vista de Coriolano, personagem que, ao contrário de José Amaro, demonstra ódio implacável pelo cangaço, no romance representado por Lampião. A análise comparativa das obras foi precedida pelo estudo das raízes históricas do cangaço, bem como a caracterização do cangaceiro como ser carregado de dubiedade no imaginário popular nordestino. Com efeito, o cangaceiro ora é representado como herói, ora é encarado como bandido pelo sertanejo, sendo que essa visão contraditória é transportada para a ficção, aparecendo nos dois romances que são analisados neste trabalho. A abordagem histórica do cangaço é realizada a partir de estudos de autores como Rui Facó (1983), Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz (1977) e Luiz Bernardo Pericás (2010). Também foi imprescindível um breve estudo de Câmara Cascudo (2005), que auxilia a compreender a figura do cangaceiro enquanto herói popular regional. Finalmente, como suporte para o estudo comparativo entre Fogo Morto e Os Desvalidos foram utilizados trabalhos de autores como José Paulo Paes (1995) e Sônia Lúcia Ramalho de Farias (2006), que fornecem elementos importantes para o estabelecimento de relações entre obras de cunho regionalista, produzidas por escritores nordestinos.
