EXPERIMENTOS DIDÁTICO-CIENTÍFICOS NO CONTEXTO ESCOLAR: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA O APRENDIZADO DE CIÊNCIAS SOB A PERSPECTIVA DISCENTE
Authors: Ustra Sandro Vargas , Boaventura Aline Cristine
Published: January 2019

As atividades experimentais têm sido objeto de interesse há bastante tempo, principalmente quanto às suas contribuições para um melhor aprendizado dos alunos, especialmente no ensino de Ciências. Porém, muitos são os desafios a serem superados para que essa estratégia didática seja incorporada de fato ao contexto escolar. A partir desse quadro, esse trabalho constitui-se no recorte de uma pesquisa qualitativa mais ampla, que teve como propósito principal compreender a importância das atividades experimentais, de acordo com as perspectivas dos próprios estudantes do Ensino Fundamental, neste caso do 6º e 8º anos do Ensino Fundamental da cidade de Uberlândia-MG. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de um questionário aberto com cinco questões e uma entrevista com oito questões relacionadas às atividades experimentais, como e o local onde foram desenvolvidas, conteúdos trabalhados, participação dos alunos, que aspectos foram mais apreciados por eles e que características atribuem para uma boa aula com experimentos didático-científicos. O questionário foi respondido por 42 alunos e a entrevista por 18 alunos. Através da análise de conteúdo das respostas, construímos três categorias principais das perspectivas dos estudantes: a contextualização, a interação e a inovação. Articuladas, essas categorias nos levam a compreender a importância dos experimentos didático-científicos para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e que não basta apenas incluir a experimentação como “novidade” para motivar e envolver os alunos. As categorias estabelecidas reforçam a possibilidade de desenvolver os experimentos didático-científicos não apenas no laboratório, mas também em diferentes espaços e contextos de tempo e aprendizagens.

Authors: Pandya Rushi N. , Patel Maulik M. , Patel Varsha J.
Published: January 2019

Background: Drug use study identifies the problems that arise from prescription and highlights the current approaches to the rational use of drugs. The objective of the study was to assess drug use pattern in patients diagnosed of acute otitis media in tertiary care teaching hospital.Methods: This prospective observational study was carried in the Otorhinolaryngology department of a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of twelve months. The data collected for patients with acute otitis media included the patient's demographic details and the drugs prescribed. Data were analysed for drug use pattern and cost per prescription and assessment of rationality of prescription.Results: Total 153 patients were analysed, 100 (65.35%) belonged to male patients and 53 (34.65%) belonged to female patients. Children less than 2years age were the most diagnosed with AOM 47.71%, the major diagnostic symptoms were earache (58.16%) and fever (54.90%) and signs were congestion (52.94%) and discharge (43.13%). In a total 153 prescriptions (469 drugs), 33.68% were antimicrobials, followed by mineral supplements (23.67%). Average number of drugs per prescription was found to be 3.0. Most common antibiotic prescribed was amoxicillin (with or without clavulanate) in 142 (92.81%) patients. Paracetamol alone or in fixed dose combination with antihistaminics were prescribed in 131 patients. Average cost per prescription was 87.74(±35.67) Indian rupees. Seventeen (11.11%) prescriptions were rational in all the aspects based on standard guidelines.Conclusions: The present study showed that paracetamol and amoxicillin with or without clavulanate were mostly commonly prescribed in children with AOM. Irrational prescribing was seen in maximum number of cases.
Introduction of structured oral examination in formative assessment of pharmacology for 2nd professional MBBS students
Authors: Patidar Adesh , Chaturvedi J. N.
Published: January 2019

Background: Conventional Oral Examination (COE) is criticized for being too subjective and being influenced by academic and non-academic factors. Another pitfall of COE is unequal distribution of time. Different examiners use a different set of questions with varying difficulty levels. Student related factors include gender, accent, vocabulary used and ability to pick nonverbal cues. These factors make COE less reliable and valid assessment tool. To overcome the limitations of this useful tool, SOE can be implement instead of COE.Methods: It is a prospective and non-randomized study comprising 79 students of pharmacology appeared for two forms of viva i.e. COE and SOE. Three sets of questionnaires - Must know, should know and nice to know were prepared, each having 15 items with increasing difficulty levels and were validated by subject experts and pretested. Ten minutes were allotted for each student for each form of viva. Feedback of students about the novel method was obtained by using semi-structured questionnaire comprising of 19 closed ended questions and one open-ended question.Results: Structured oral examination (SOE) yielded significantly higher marks as compared to COE. There were significant inter-examiner variations in marks awarded in SOE and COE. Other factors influencing implementation were difficulty in structuring viva, rigid time limits, lack of flexibility in knowledge content, monotony and fatigue. The students perceived this format not different from COE but felt that it required in depth preparation of topic.Conclusions: Conducting SOE is a resource-intensive exercise. Despite structuring, inter-examiner variability was not completely eliminated. The student’s performance was depended on factors related to examiners such as teaching experience, vernacular language used, and lack of training. Orientation and training of examiners in assessment strategies is necessary. Standardization of questionnaire is necessary before the implementation of SOE for summative assessment.

Authors: Maiti Tamoghna , Mandal Sonai , Banerjee Ratul , Chakrabarty Sourav , Panda Amrita
Published: January 2019

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is one of the significant non-communicable diseases that are of high prevalence in our country. Hypertension (HTN) is responsible cause of 57% of stroke and 24% of coronary heart disease deaths in India. Eight classes of medications are currently used in the treatment of hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a newly added FDA approved drug to the ARB class of antihypertensive agents. azilsartan and chlorthalidone combination is also got the FDA approval. There is limited study in between these two groups regarding efficacy especially in rural Bengal.Methods: A prospective observational study was done in medicine OPD of Bankura Sammilani Medical College for twelve weeks with two groups that are azilsartan (80mg) and fixed dose combination of azilsartan (40mg) plus chlorthalidone (12.5mg) in the age group of 18 to 55years of moderate hypertensive patients. Change of heart rate was assessed as safety parameter.Results: It was found that both the group of drugs are very much effective in lowering blood pressure constantly in respect of both systolic and diastolic BP but azilsartan monotherapy in high dose reduce systolic blood pressure slightly high. Significant change of heart rate was not seen with both the groups.Conclusions: Both the group was effective as well as safe in hypertensive patients.

Authors: Medhi Pranjal Kr. , Gohain Kalpana
Published: January 2019

Background: Swertia chirata has been an important herb known for centuries for its various medicinal uses and bitter taste. The stem of the plant is used as a traditional medicine in an array of diseases including the treatment of vomiting. Therefore, the study was undertaken to explore the possible antiemetic property of methanolic extract of its stems by using chick emesis model.Methods: 25 male chicks of four days old weighing 25 to 35 grams were fed with copper sulfate anhydride at 50mg/kg body weight to induce emesis. The chicks were grouped into 5 with each group bearing 5 chicks (n=5). Group I (control) received 10ml/kg normal saline; group II (standard) received 150mg/kg chlorpromazine; group III (experimental-1), group IV (experimental-2) and group V (experimental-3) received 50, 100 and 150mg/kg respectively of the extract. All doses are given intraperitoneally. Assessment of antiemetic activity was done by calculating the percentage of inhibition of the number of retches in the chicks.Results: All the three doses of the extract showed antiemetic activity. The dose of 50 mg/kg showed activity comparable to chlorpromazine, while dose of 100 mg/kg and 150mg/kg showed greater activity than chlorpromazine. Highest antiemetic activity (79.26% inhibition) was shown by a dose of 150mg/kg and lowest (42.22% inhibition) by 50mg/kg.Conclusions: Methanolic extract from the stems of Swertia chirata has excellent anti-emetic property which can be further investigated for development of potential antiemetic medicines.

Authors: S. Velarul , . Shobnaarani , Vinotha Sathiya , . Ponnuswamy
Published: January 2019

Background: Pain is the first and foremost symptom which alerts us about the underlying diseases, injuries or inflammation. Varied treatments are followed for pain relief worldwide. Nowadays tramadol, a centrally acting opioid analgesic is used widely. There are evidences that sweet substances like sucrose produce analgesia through endogenous opioid system. Sucrose has been proved to produce analgesic effect in healthy neonates and also in animals. Likewise, analgesic effect of glucose has also been studied but only limited no. of studies available.Methods: Swiss Albino mice of either sex (20-30g) were procured from the central animal house of KFMS and R, Coimbatore. Animals were maintained under controlled temperature and light conditions with food and water ad libitum. Mice were kept in the department to get acclimatized. 24 mice were divided into 4 groups (n=6). Drugs were given orally after 12hours of fasting. Group I was the control. Group II received standard-tramadol (40mg/kg). Group III received glucose (200mg/kg). Group IV received glucose (400mg/kg).Results: The latency period of glucose was significant (p<0.001) compared to controls and standard was significant (p<0.001) when compared to glucose by hot plate method.Conclusions: Analgesic activity of glucose may be due to both central and peripheral inhibition of PG synthesis. This has been proved in previous studies. This study showed that glucose can be used as an add-on in non-diabetic patients with better compliance.

Authors: . Apoorva , K. Girish , Manjunath Namrata C.
Published: January 2019

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a most commonly with adverse drug reaction seen with use of Non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in particular nimesulide followed by antibiotics and anticonvulsants. Etoricoxib is a selective cyclo-oxygenase isoenzyme-2 inhibitor which is superior to conventional NSAIDs and causes less side effects. Authors present a case of fixed drug eruption due to etoricoxib in a male patient. A 50-year-old patient presented to Outpatient Department (OPD) of Dermatology of a Tertiary Care Hospital with complains of skin rashes over lips, oral cavity, trunk, both the upper and lower limbs, palm, soles, scrotum and glans penis since a week. The detailed history of the patient revealed the use of etoricoxib a week back, prescribed for low back pain. It was suspected that the cutaneous drug reaction was due to the use of etoricoxib. The suspected drug etoricoxib was stopped, patient was admitted and managed symptomatically. The above reaction was assessed to be “possible” as per WHO-UMC and Naranjo causality scale, “moderate” on Hartwig’s scale and “Probably preventable” according to Schumock and Thornton criteria. This case reporting was done to sensitize the prescribers regarding rare side effects of the above drug and the need to confirm past history of drug reaction before prescription.
Comparison between the different new anti-coagulants for non-valvular atrial fibrillation: network meta-analysis
Authors: Albutti Hala Mohammed
Published: January 2019

Atrial fibrillation is associated with high risk of ischaemic stroke which is considered a major fatal complication in atrial fibrillation. That’s why, anticoagulants were used to prevent this major complication. However, anticoagulants themselves are associated with their own complications. A systematic search of Embase, Medline and Google scholar were conducted. The included papers were extracted for outcomes related to the complications of each drugs. A Bayesian network meta-analysis based on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation (MCMC) with 10000 burn-in iterations and 50000 inference iterations. We found eighteen papers that fit our inclusion criteria. Apixaban had the least risk of major bleeding compared to Warfarin [HR = 0.536, 95% (0.448, 0.652)] and the least risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. For stroke risk, the Rivaroxaban had the least risk compared to Warfarin [HR = 1.05, 95% (0.98, 1.14)]. For intracranial hemorrhage, dabigatran had the least risk of intracranial haemorrhage compared to Warfarin [HR = 0.46, 95% CrI (0.36, 0.61)]. For the thromboembolism risk, other non-vitamin k antagonist had the least risk of intracranial haemorrhage compared to Warfarin [HR = 0.523, 95% (0.095, 2.85)]. There were no conclusive results about the best anticoagulant drugs for non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Apixaban was the least among them to be associated with major bleeding, while rivaroxaban was ranked the first with least stroke complications. Furthermore, dabigatran was associated with less risk of intracranial haemorrhage compared to other anticoagulants.
Lasmiditan: new drug for acute migraine
Authors: Brashier Dick , Maggo Sachin , Gill Shaman , Angrish Piyush , Singh Anuj , Rawat Deepmala
Published: January 2019

Migraine is ranked by the World Health Organization as the world’s second leading cause of disability. The current state of knowledge suggests that migraine is a neuronal process involving activation and sensitization of the trigeminal nociceptors and the trigeminocervical complex, as well as cortical spreading depression and abnormal brainstem activity. The present non vascular etiological basis has opened a new horizon in the treatment of acute migraine targeting the trigeminal pathways. Lasmiditan, a highly selective 5-HT1F receptor agonist, acts on the trigeminal system without causing vasoconstriction because of its low aﬃnity for 5-HT1B receptors. The compound belongs to a new class of drugs “ditans” and its mechanism of action is neuronal without evidence of vasoactive effects as seen with triptans. It lowers plasma protein extravasation decreasing the neurogenic inflammation of the dura and suppress neuronal firing within the trigeminal nucleus caudalis. Also, 5HT1F agonists have shown to decrease c-fos activity within trigeminal nucleus thereby reducing the level of synaptic activation. The onset of action of lasmiditan is fast, shows rapid absorption, oral bioavailability of 40% and linear pharmacokinetics. Most common adverse reactions seen are dizziness, paresthesia, somnolence, nausea, fatigue and lethargy with dizziness being the most recurrently reported adverse event. Clinical trials for lasmiditan to date have been positive, and maiden results suggest that lasmiditan may be a new safe and effective option for acute migraine treatment, especially for patients refractory to or unable to tolerate triptans, and/or for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. With Eli Lilly and Co. having already applied for US FDA approval in Nov 2018, lasmiditan may soon be a new addition to the mounting armoury of drugs against migraine.

Authors: Quek Janice , Tan Grace , Lim Kokkwang , Yap Chee Khong , Wong Meiyin , Soon Jiaying
Published: January 2019

Background: Singapore was recently ranked the second highest in the percentage of diabetic individuals among developed countries’ populations. This study explored possible associations among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients’ perception of having this condition (illness perception), diabetes-related distress, and diabetes self-management with a view to understanding potentially useful emphases in health education and counselling for these patients in primary health care.Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 75 adults diagnosed with T2DM at five primary care clinics under National Healthcare Group Polyclinics completed three research questionnaires in English and Mandarin which assessed the participants’ perception of their own diabetic condition, experience of diabetes distress, and self-management behaviour.Results: Illness perception has specific dimensions (identity, consequence, and emotional representation) that correlated with specific aspects of diabetes distress (emotional burden, interpersonal distress, regimen distress, and overall diabetes distress). Further, overall diabetes distress correlated negatively with dietary control, physical activity, and overall self-management.Conclusions: Patients with TSDM may benefit most from health education and guidance that aim to reduce both their perception of diabetes’ impact on their lives and emotional reactivity in managing their diabetic condition.

Authors: Panika Ram K. , Mahore Rakesh K.
Published: January 2019

Background: Lymphatic filariasis is a vector borne parasitic disease caused by lymphatic dwelling nematode parasite. It is one of the world's leading causes of permanent and long-term disability with an estimated 5.1 million disability adjusted life years (DALYs) are lost due to this disease. The National Health Policy 2002 aims at Elimination of Lymphatic filariasis by 2015 through Annual Mass Drug Administration (MDA) of single dose of DEC. Objective was to assess coverage and compliance of MDA Program and awareness about lymphatic filariasis in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh.Methods: Cross-sectional Study was conducted. Total 120 households were surveyed in four selected clusters of Chhatarpur district of MP.Results: Out of total 835 persons only 94.37% persons were eligible and 47 (5.62%) were not eligible for MDA for MDA. Coverage rate was 90.22% and compliance rate was 75.24%. The main reason for non-compliance was not having the concerned disease 34.38 % followed by fear of side effect (24.90%). Only 37.5% among the surveyed families were aware about MDA. Majority of respondent 21 (46.66%) acquired knowledge from health workers.Conclusions: The compliance of MDA program was low and the awareness about the lymphatic filariasis in the study population was limited in Chhatarpur district. Poor compliance of MDA is attributed to inadequate consumption of drugs due to poor awareness among eligible population. For elimination of lymphatic filariasis active involvement of community is very essential. It can be made possible through behavior change communication and health education of people.

A metodologia baseou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica e localização georrreferenciada da indústria nestes dois momentos do tempo. Os principais resultados mostram que a produção de genéricos cresceu significativamente no período referido, fortalecendo a indústria farmacêutica de capital nacional e promovendo desconcentração relativa aos grandes centros de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro.Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento, indústria farmacêutica, política de genéricos, distribuição territorial.
QUANDO A PESQUISADORA E A ADVOGADA SE ENCONTRAM EM CAMPO: questões éticas e metodológicas para a pesquisa empírica em direito
Authors: Smith Andreza do Socorro Pantoja de Oliveira
Published: January 2019

No artigo, apresenta-se reflexão acerca das experiências e dificuldades experimentadas pela autora durante a realização da pesquisa de campo que embasou a produção de tese de doutorado em Direito que enlaça o preconceito e a discriminação que sofrem as travestis e transmulheres com a questão do tráfico de pessoas para exploração sexual. A construção do artigo se dá a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica realizada na interseção do Direito com a Antropologia, a fim de ser possível analisar os percalços da pesquisa de campo. Objetiva-se demonstrar que há temas de pesquisa no Direito que requerem conhecimentos interdisciplinares para a adequada produção de pesquisa científica.
PRESSUPOSTOS TEÓRICOS E PRÁTICOS NO USO DO ATLAS.TI NA PESQUISA “NOVOS PARCEIROS ECONÔMICOS DO BRASIL E OS INSTRUMENTOS REGULATÓRIOS NESTA RELAÇÃO: UMA APROXIMAÇÃO EMPÍRICA DO CASO DE ANGOLA"

A pesquisa “Novos parceiros econômicos do Brasil e os instrumentos regulatórios nesta relação: uma aproximação empírica do caso de Angola”[1] tem como objetivo central compreender o papel do direito nas relações econômicas entre Brasil e Angola, sendo este um dos países com os quais o Brasil mais aumentou o seu fluxo de comércio e investimentos nos últimos anos. Optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa que incorpora uma metodologia que possa dar conta de explicar as condições em que a relação entre os países é construída, ultrapassando índices econômicos para se aprofundar nas condições ideacionais deste movimento. Definiu-se como fontes de pesquisa os acordos bilaterais entre os países, o discurso unilateral de cada governo, notícias da mídia, entrevistas, instrumentos contratuais e a doutrina, cuja análise será conduzida com um método indutivo e métodos de procedimento que auxiliem a análise dos discursos. Diante da complexidade e da variedade do material coletado, elegeu-se como instrumento de apoio o software de análise qualitativa de dados ATLAS.ti, que permite ao pesquisador codificar o material que tem em mãos a fim de organizá-lo e de fazer inferências relacionais entre os códigos criados, o que servirá de insumo para iniciar a construção de uma teoria (grounded theory) baseada nas evidências empíricas e no seu posicionamento ante as teorias existentes. Frente à opção (metodológica) pelo ATLAS.ti, este artigo tem como objetivo compartilhar a experiência no do de tal software em uma pesquisa jurídica de caráter qualitativo-empírico, relatando e cotejando as questões teóricas e práticas envolvidas na sua utilização.[1] A pesquisa “Novos parceiros econômicos do Brasil e os instrumentos regulatórios nesta relação: uma aproximação empírica do caso de Angola” é financiada pela Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo-FAPESP (Proc. FAPESP nº 14/25776-4).
Análise comportamental do direito: Aplicação de sanções pelo Tribunal de Contas da União a gestores com contas irregulares.

Published: January 2019

A análise comportamental do direito concebe o direito como um sistema cuja função social é reduzir a ocorrência de comportamentos definidos politicamente como socialmente indesejáveis (e.g., delitos), predominantemente mediante o uso de coerção. As normas jurídicas são formadas por padrões de comportamentos entrelaçados, emitidos por indivíduos em diferentes instituições, que são influenciados por aumentos (comportamento punitivo) ou diminuições (comportamento defensivo) na probabilidade de aplicação de sanções. O comportamento de aplicar sanções, tipicamente por um magistrado, desempenha função crucial na cadeia de comportamentos jurídicos, tendo em vista que ocorre no final da cadeia e retroalimenta todos os nós que o antecedem. Na presente pesquisa investigou-se a aplicação de sanções pelo Tribunal de Contas da União contingentes ao comportamento de gestores de recursos federais que tiveram suas contas julgadas irregulares. Para isso foram examinadas as informações contida em duas amostras aleatórias (371 nomes em cada), extraídas da lista pública de responsáveis com contas irregulares enviadas à justiça eleitoral. Os resultados indicaram que: a) a porcentagem média da multa do art. 57 da Lei 8.443/92, com relação ao valor do débito, foi de 16% nas duas amostras; b) os valores dessa multa aumentaram significativamente com aumentos no valor do débito e para condutas com indícios de má-fé dos gestores; e c) a porcentagem dessa multa diminuiu significativamente com aumentos no valor do débito. Tomados em conjunto, os resultados sugerem a utilidade do arcabouço teórico da análise comportamental do direito para a investigação empírica e a interpretação de comportamentos jurídicos.

Quais são as relações entre análise da política pública e o direito? Como a aproximação desses campos de pesquisa pode contribuir para a melhoria do desenvolvimento das capacidades institucionais no processo de formulação de políticas? Como uma experiência de ensino pode enfatizar essa questão? Como diferentes metodologias em Políticas Públicas podem escolher um tipo de abordagem em Direito? Este artigo será orientado por essas principais questões. O ponto de partida é que, no Brasil, a lógica jurídica formalista separa os campos de pesquisa (direito e análise da política pública), criando obstáculos que impedem uma melhor governança entre os poderes legislativo, executivo e judiciário. Do ponto de vista metodológico, este texto analisa uma experiência vivenciada pelos estudantes de Mestrado e Doutorado da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Brasília, incorporando os aspectos de suas pesquisas, relacionadas ao ciclo de Políticas Públicas. A experiência analisada foi a disciplina de Direito e Análise de Políticas Públicas, ministrada no segundo semestre de 2015 e 2016. Apresentamos como a disciplina foi desenvolvida e como os alunos incorporaram e perceberam o tema de análise de Políticas Públicas em seus projetos de investigação, bem como a aplicação da disciplina em situações concretas. Conectamos uma abordagem baseada na literatura revisada às percepções dos alunos. O resultado foi: um desempenho mais integrado dos modelos legais no ciclo e nos períodos de Políticas Públicas pode levar a uma melhoria no desempenho entre as partes interessadas.
Direitos Intelectuais Indígenas no Brasil: Instrumentos Jurídicos e Conflitos Ontológicos
Authors: Pinto Ido Vitor Henrique
Published: January 2019

Este trabalho integra uma pesquisa maior sobre conhecimentos tradicionais indígenas e sua regulação jurídica. Nele, procuro descrever e apontar o uso de vários instrumentos jurídicos, como contratos de repartição de benefícios, direitos de propriedade intelectual, propriedade cultural e imaterial, protocolos comunitários de consulta etc. A pesquisa pretende demonstrar que o uso de múltiplas categorias jurídicas, tradicionais e inovadoras, consiste em estratégias políticas para proteger, promover e defender conhecimentos tradicionais. A pesquisa se vale de uma revisão da literatura antropológica e jurídica sobre conhecimentos tradicionais no Brasil, de aspectos do debate internacional, bem como de entrevistas e relatos de membr@s de comunidades tradicionais, antropólog@s, advogad@s e ativistas de organizações não-governamentais. Conclui-se, preliminarmente que, ora pelo alargamento de categorias tradicionais como propriedade, ora pelo uso mais estrito e formalista possível do direito positivo, as experiências contemporâneas apontam, ao mesmo tempo, para a formação de um direito internacional de baixo para cima e para a reconfiguração dos usos da "cultura". Aponta-se, ademais, para um descolamento relativo dos termos utilizados nas grandes arenas internacionais (OMPI, OMC, UNESCO). A análise de casos permite refletir sobre os usos do direito e seus conflitos ontológicos
Como tomar “O comboio das onze”? ou O Surrealismo segundo Jorge de Sena
Authors: Soares Marcelo Pacheco
Published: January 2019

Este artigo se propõe a ler uma narrativa do escritor português Jorge de Sena pouco visitada pela crítica: o conto “O comboio das onze”, de Andanças do demónio. Investiga-se a relação do texto e do seu autor com o movimento vanguardista Surrealismo e, mais além, o seu posicionamento crítico-teórico acerca dessa estética, a fim de, a partir daí, propor uma nova chave interpretativa para esse texto.
O Fausto infausto: sentidos do Barroco e do maravilhoso em “El camino de Santiago”, de Alejo Carpentier
Authors: Daie Fábio Salem
Published: January 2019

O presente artigo explora o universo temático de Alejo Carpentier, com ênfase na definição dos termos Barroco e maravilhoso, fundamentos de sua obra ficcional. A partir de uma abordagem historicista, o objetivo é mostrar como ambos os termos dialogam em seu conto “El camino de Santiago” (1958), complementando mutuamente seus significados, que estariam vinculados à condição relacional de uma perspectiva periférica e constituiriam a solução estética encontrada por Carpentier para questões relativas à vanguarda artística na América Latina. Encarados como princípios formais da ficção carpentieriana, Barroco e maravilhoso são, assim, uma contribuição particular à formação da literatura hispano-americana, que tem no encontro com a cultura popular – tal como Ángel Rama formulou na sua teoria da transculturação – uma de suas providências.
Ítaca ao revés

O artigo analisa o poema Finismundo: a última viagem, publicado por Haroldo de Campos em 1990. Este texto trabalha com a hipótese de que Finismundo, embora construído do ponto de vista do naufrágio das utopias (do naufrágio de certo “aventuroso deslugar”, segundo termos do poema), ainda pontua uma hybris ironicamente utópica. Para desenvolver essa questão, a análise aqui proposta se atém ao modo como Haroldo de Campos desenvolve o tema das viagens de Odisseu a partir de sedimentos poéticos provenientes tanto do cânone literário (especialmente Homero, Dante e Pound) como de seu próprio trabalho autoral (uma vez que o herói grego e o tema da viagem são topoi constitutivos da obra poética, tradutória e ensaística que precede Finismundo).
Tradução em ensaio (ensaio de tradução): uma hermenêutica do fazer
Authors: Oseki-Dépré Inês
Published: January 2019

Se traduzir a quatro mãos pode resultar numa tarefa ao mesmo tempo apaixonante e simples, traduzir a quatro mãos por correspondência nem sempre é fácil principalmente se considerarmos que a comunicação eletrônica é bastante recente e que nas décadas de 1960-1970, quando nos encontrávamos a milhares de quilômetros um do outro, os tradutores confiavam no correio para trocar informações. O presente ensaio é uma tentativa de expor ao mesmo tempo um processo original, a tradução das Galáxias de Haroldo de Campos, no ritmo de sua criação e por correspondência (1967-2003) e do work in progress do poeta que vai revelando suas inúmeras publicações ao longo das cartas. A hipótese subjacente à presente reflexão, que gostaríamos de partilhar, é a inter- -relação para Haroldo de Campos entre teoria, crítica, poética e tradução, esta última constituindo de certo modo a chave das Galáxias.
Tradução em ensaio

Um dos primeiros volumes da revista Remate de Males (“Território da Tradução”, de 1984) tinha a tradução de poesia como tema e como ideia de repertório. O presente número temático entende revisitar essa proposta, trazendo reflexões sobre tradução juntamente com exercícios de tradução de poesia, ou relacionados com questões poéticas. Em outras palavras, o Dossiê “Tradução em ensaio” (expressão que explora a cumplicidade entre o ensaio como forma de escrita e a experimentação como abordagem possível do traduzir) resulta do desejo de reabrir o espaço de uma revista especializada para a experiência tradutória, ao mesmo tempo em que procura tratar essa proposta de modo mais entranhado com o debate universitário contemporâneo, para o qual o ensaio se tornou um gênero de escrita comum de divulgação e de militância intelectual.
