Comparative investigation on performance of various aspiration methods applied in a single cylinder diesel engine
Authors: Duraiswamy Palaniswamy , Guru Ramesh , Madakkan Vishnu
Published: July 2015

Better fuel economy and higher power with lower maintenance cost has increased the popularity of diesel engine vehicles. This paper investigates the effects of various aspiration methods such as natural aspiration, charge preheating, exhaust gas recirculation and supercharging (SC) on the performance of a diesel engine using neat diesel fuel in terms of brake thermal efficiency, indicated thermal efficiency, mechanical efficiency, specific fuel consumption and total fuel consumption. For this study, a naturally aspirated four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine was modified and tested with diesel fuel under various load conditions. The evaluation of the experimental data showed that SC the engine gives comparative performance than all other aspiration methods considered in this work.
Drained cyclic capacity of plate anchors in dense sand: Experimental and theoretical observations
Authors: Chow S. H. , O'Loughlin C. D. , Corti R. , Gaudin C. , Diambra A.
Published: July 2015

This paper provides experimental evidence that shows that the drained cyclic capacity of a plate anchor in dry dense sand may be higher than the equivalent monotonic capacity. The experimental data show that when cyclic loading is low relative to the monotonic capacity, increases in the eventual capacity are observed; when the magnitudes of the cyclic loads are closer to the monotonic capacity, no increases in capacity are observed. These responses are explained in the paper using an elasto-plastic macro-element model extended with expandable bounding and memory surfaces that address the increase in strength or stiffness caused by changes in soil density and fabric when the anchor is subject to cyclic loading in dense sand.
Design and evaluation of bonded composite glass beams
Authors: Netusil Michal , Eliasova Martina
Published: July 2015

Glass can be combined effectively with another high-strength material, and a maximally efficient interaction between the two structural elements can be achieved. This paper deals with adhesively bonded steel–glass composite I-section beams, where the web is made of glass and the flanges are manufactured from steel. The paper describes the design procedure and presents a static evaluation, taking into account many influencing factors, such as the semi-rigidity of the adhesive layer, which is the key element in the horizontal shear contraction between the glass web and the steel flanges. Experimental research on full-scale composite beams with a span of 4 m is performed and evaluated in a laboratory at CTU in Prague. Analytical approaches for practical design are determined on the basis of these investigations, and are supported by many numerical studies. Adhesive producers (in the past mainly interested in the industrial application of their products) are now attempting to improve the properties of adhesives that can play a real load-bearing role in the joint. The procedure for including a new adhesive in an analytical approach is also described here.
Liderazgo preventivo para la universidad. Una experiencia plausible
Authors: Rodríguez Rodríguez Alejandro
Published: July 2015

El desarrollo del liderazgo, en el ámbito educativo superior, busca soluciones de aplicación inmediata a contextos en que todo líder se desenvuelve, pero se diluye el sustento teórico-práctico en la formación del líder que posibilite entender los procesos intelectivos durante la toma de decisiones. El paradigma de convergencia entre el método antropológico lonerganiano, la comunidad de aprendizaje vygotskiana y una relectura del sistema preventivo salesiano se presentan como propuesta plausible de formación al liderazgo preventivo entre los diversos actores de una comunidad universitaria. Un estudio de caso de la Universidad Salesiana en México empleando un método mixto de investigación, facilita una relectura del liderazgo desde una óptica preventiva como posibilidad de convergencia en un diálogo interdisciplinar. Los resultados teórico-práctico propuestos y examinados se muestran como herramienta útil para evaluar, enriquecer y renovar la teoría sobre el líder y el desarrollo de liderazgo en las universidades frente a una sociedad globalizada.
La hipótesis de la convergencia condicional en Ecuador: un análisis a nivel cantonal
Authors: Mendieta Muñoz Rodrigo
Published: July 2015

El objetivo del presente estudio es contrastar la hipótesis de convergencia relativa en el Ecuador a nivel cantonal, considerando un conjunto de variables explicativas. Siguiendo a Barro y Sala-i-Martin (1991) se estima un modelo de mínimos cuadrados no lineales (MCNL) utilizando datos transversales entre 2007 y 2012. Los principales hallazgos indican una tasa de convergencia absoluta del 1,37% anual entre municipios. Con los factores condicionantes (índice de analfabetismo, porcentaje de viviendas con red eléctrica, número promedio de hijos, producción agrícola, producción manufacturera y remesas como porcentaje del valor agregado bruto cantonal) la velocidad de convergencia se reduce al 1,12% anual, indicando que diferencias en estas variables explicarían en buena parte la lenta convergencia territorial en Ecuador.
Combining Work and Study by Russian Higher Education Institution Students
Authors: Roshchin Sergey , Rudakov Victor
Published: July 2015

Combining work and study by students of Russian higher education institutions is studied from the viewpoint of how university quality and the set of financial, academic, social and demographic factors affect probability of student employment, and what motivates students to enter the labor market. The paper is based on the results of a 2013 survey among graduate students of Russian universities on their educational and career strategies conducted as part of the Monitoring of Education Markets and Organizations project. Data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and regression analysis: influence of factors was assessed through a logistic binary choice model (logit regression). It is shown that the most positive effect on probability of combining work and study is given by such factors as learning in a leading university, studying a Master’s degree, specializing in areas of study connected with foreign languages, mathematics, computer programming, design, architecture, and culturology. Receiving no financial support from family, studying on a state-funded basis, and being male also increase probability of student employment significantly. The research performed has allowed to suggest hypothetically that combining work and study is most often caused by desire to gain work experience, with more talented students working more often, obviously. By doing so, students try to get to look more productive, which may later bring an economic profit to them in the labor market. These hypotheses require further examination.
Female Gymnasium Education in Kursk Governorate in the Second Half of the 19th Century Through the Early 20th Century
Authors: Vetchinova Marina
Published: July 2015

In 1850, even Petersburg didn’t have any educational institution to teach daughters of poor noblemen and government servants. Female education became a major teaching innovation of the second half of the 19th century. Women’s colleges were established in Vologda, Tver, Ryazan, Samara, Tula, Smolensk, and Nizhny Novgorod in the late 1858. Female secondary education was organized very much due to Nikolay Vyshnegradsky, who was a Russian teacher, professor, advocate of egalitarian female education, and founder of the Russky pedagoguichesky vestnik magazine. Vyshnegradsky was the first to introduce women’s gymnasia and to develop a Charter in 1862 that was taken as a basis of gymnasium activities. The curriculum included the Divine Law, Russian grammar, Russian history and geography, arithmetic, French and German languages, calligraphy, music, dancing, and needlework. This curriculum differed considerably from the one in traditional men’s gymnasia. Although the level of education was rather high in some of women’s gymnasia, their graduates were not allowed to enter universities or any other governmental higher educational institutions. It was only in 1872–1876 when a number of higher female courses were initiated under the influence of progressive communities. In this paper, we have analyzed organization of teaching and learning processes based  on the materials from State archives of Kursk and Belgorod Oblasts. We have also provided some examples of women’s gymnasium practices in Kursk Governorate in the second half of the 19th century through the early 20th century, including the First World War period.
Philosophy of Education: An Overview of Contemporary Foreign Literature
Authors: Zavaley Anna
Published: July 2015

The article gives an overview of foreign research on the key topics in contemporary philosophy of education. The first two sections are devoted to discussing epistemic, moral and political objectives of education. The last section discusses one of the most controversial topics of contemporary philosophy of education — the professional status of teachers. Ability to comprehend critically social and political conditions of formation and spread of knowledge appears to be one of the essential epistemic objectives of education. Attention towards implicit fundamentals of expert knowledge and ability to find relevant information to verify beliefs are epistemic virtues contributing to formation of an autonomous cognizing individual. Among ethical objectives of education, we have traditionally singled out personal autonomy, ability to live a full social and economic life, comprehensive personal development, civic (democratic) competencies, and cooperation skills. The last twenty years, largely due to feminist and communitarian criticism, have witnessed development of an attitude that consists in finding the paramount goal of education in inculcating the ideals of love, care and community spirit, instead of autonomy of a rational individual. Implicitly ethical objectives of education are closely related to “distributive” objectives that define the final provider of teaching efforts. Having analyzed discussions on professionalization of teachers’ activities, we conclude that, although teaching is characterized by some prominent features of professional activity, its specific nature makes it difficult to establish distinct criteria of professionalization.
Looking for a “Perfect Teacher”. A review of the books: Pokoleniya VShE. Ucheniki ob uchitelyakh [HSE Generations. Students about Teachers]. Moscow: HSE, 2013.
Authors: Zotov Igor
Published: July 2015

The two-volume set Pokoleniya VShE (HSE Generations) was issued to celebrate twenty years since establishing the National Research University — Higher School of Economics. The book Uchitelya ob uchitelyakh (Teachers about Teachers) allows the reader to get an idea of the academic environment that gave birth to scientists who now head scientific schools. In Ucheniki ob uchitelyakh (Students about Teachers), young HSE researchers tell about those who became their mentors and helped them pave their academic ways. The first book is aimed at those who have interest in contemporary history of Russian science and education, while the second one might be useful for prospective students, helping them understand what teachers may be like or even choose one. Expertise, ambition to raise the University’s ethos in their disciples, approachability, and self-irony are the key characteristics of a teacher described in this book.
Ardalyon Borisovich Peredonov and His Colleagues. A review of the book: Zubkov I. (2010) Rossiyskoye uchitelstvo. Povsednevnaya zhizn prepodavateley zemskikh shkol, guimnaziy i realnykh uchilishch. 1870–1916 [Teaching in Russia. Everyday Life of Teachers in Zemstvo Schools, Gymnasia, and Realschulen. 1870–1916]. Moscow: Novy khronograf.
Authors: Lyubzhin Aleksey
Published: July 2015

We highly appreciate I. Zubkov’s book devoted to everyday life of Russian teachers in zemstvo schools, gymnasia, and realschulen at the turn of the 19th century, due to an extremely reader-friendly delivery of information and abundance of factual data. We find the most value in the narration scheme developed by the author: for each group, Zubkov first defines the legal status, then their financial situation, social characteristic (paying special attention to percentage of women in this traditionally male-dominated profession), motivation and fitness for teaching, and finally, conditions and specific aspects of working in relevant educational institutions, including contact with students’ parents, relationship with students, and conveniences. Based on the information given in the reviewed book, Zubkov compares the situations of teachers in secondary education institutions and zemstvo schools: their financial status and quality of life, their situation as compared to that of other educated class Russians, attitude of students’  arents, relationship with students at school. The conclusion is that primary village school and secondary city school are totally different worlds, and this contrast in the national education system was inevitable from the very beginning.
Pragmatic Liberalism and Modernization of Upbringing
Authors: Sidorkin Alexandr
Published: July 2015

Upbringing is regarded as a purposeful training to teach human values. By definition, upbringing engages the deep-lying moral attitudes of people, the moral and cultural values that have always been disputed by the society. Upbringing inevitably involves conflicts; moreover, its social utility is hard to measure. These two factors combined, without active interference of the State, may gradually kill the upbringing practices, which is far not the best possible option for the national policy. First, in this case general education school would stop existing as a social organization. Schools with stronger educational components are more stable. Second, upbringing only forms a part of human capital. Beside cognitive skills, human capital also includes social capital and creative capital, which are the real key players in post-industrial economies. If the upbringing component of the national education system is lost, it may degrade the quality of human capital required at the next stage of national economic development. Third, Russian upbringing practices are based on a significant experience of global importance; a lot of funds have been invested to organizational and financial structure of upbringing throughout many decades. To modernize upbringing, we should tie it closely to economic and social development needs of the country. Governmental or nonprofit grants could be provided to fund a number of projects to be implemented by regional teacher associations. The Creative Leader program, for example, consists in creating reliable instruments to measure creative and cooperation skills, developing reasonable standards to determine what creative and cooperation skills children must have and use at each age, reconciling these standards with those of general education, introducing a competitive program to create specific forms of working designed exclusively for contemporary children, and discarding without mercy everything that worked with previous generations only.
Children Socialization in Contemporary Pedagogical Research
Authors: Leutina Antonina
Published: July 2015

The paper is based on a content analysis of one hundred randomly sampled articles on theory and practice of upbringing published in science education journals and collections from 2006 to 2013. In the analysis, frequencies and correlation dependences were singled out. The results obtained allow to say that the modern paradigm of socialization is centered around the past, the traditions, customs, and stability. The process of socialization is supposed to be natural, non-technological and non-projectable. The key problem of socialization is deviation from social norms. Socialization is primarily associated with adaptation mechanisms of personality development and is not connected to processes of autonomation or individualization. The analyzed texts do not touch upon socialization of children with high levels of creativity. Thus, the contemporary theory of pedagogy is dominated by the adaptation paradigm of socialization. This paradigm is widespread in theoretical pedagogy destined to foresee social and economic changes, which fails to meet the requirements of society in terms of bringing up large groups of people with high levels of creativity.
An Innovative Perspective on Learning and Teaching in Higher Education in the 21st Century
Authors: De Corte Erik
Published: July 2015

The current perspective on our society as a learning society implies that education must focus more than has been traditionally the case on fostering in students adaptive competence, i. e. the ability to apply meaningfully learned knowledge and skills flexibly in a variety of contexts. Based on the available research this article first discusses the question: What should students learn to acquire adaptive competence in a domain? It is argued that developing adaptive competence requires the acquisition of several cognitive, affective, and motivational components, namely a well-elaborated domain-specific knowledge base, heuristic methods, metaknowledge of one’s cognitive functioning, motivation and emotions, self-regulation skills for regulating one’s cognitive, motivational and emotional processes, and positive beliefs about oneself as a learner and about learning in different domains. Next the questions is addressed: What are characteristics of productive learning processes for acquiring adaptive  competence? In this respect the view of learning is presented as an Constructive, Self-regulated, Situated, and Collaborative (CSSC) process of knowledge and skill building. From a teaching perspective this leads to the question: How can such CSSC learning processes be stimulated through instructional intervention? An illustrative powerful learning environment for improving learning proficiency in beginning university students is presented.
Cross-Regional Differences in Solving the Teacher Pay Rise Problem
Authors: Derkachev Pavel
Published: July 2015

The paper provides an overview of studies dedicated to correlations between school teacher salaries and regional economics and to the local factors affecting the size of teacher salaries. The paper describes the basic teacher pay indicators in the regions: absolute salary, teacher pay level as compared to the average regional salary, ratio of salary to the average consumer bsket and to the per capita gross regional product. Based on the calculations performed using open databases of governmental authorities, a classification of regions by teacher pay levels was developed, providing seven clusters of regions. For each of the clusters, we have elaborated recommendations on teacher remuneration, identifying typical risks and challenges. These recommendations are designed to improve efficiency of activities that are part of the education policy by way of differentiating federal assistance. The conclusion is that, apart from the index of teacher pay level as compared to the average regional salary, which is the benchmark of governmental programs, one should also consider the ratios of salary to the average consumer basket and to the per capita gross regional product.
2013 Salaries in General Education: Cross-Regional Analysis, Trends and Outlooks
Authors: Tipenko Nataliya
Published: July 2015

Data obtained in the Electronic Monitoring of Education Development has been used to analyze the teacher salary trends that had evolved by 2013 and to compare teacher pay to the average regional pay levels. The 2013 data reveals that the regions find it ever harder to increase teacher pay to conform to the average economy-wide salary rate, as required by various decrees. In particular, this is confirmed through the size of year-end  premiums, which often turn out to be rather high. Month-to-month monitoring of this parameter provokes tensions in the work of governing bodies at different levels and encourages “manual management” used to achieve the desired result. Such practice conflicts with the standard planning and budgeting procedure. Budget expenditure indexes are used to compare salary levels across the subjects of the Russian Federation. When comparing the pay levels in different regions, monitoring of budget expenditure indexes allows for a deeper insight into the status of teachers and complements the parameter “deviation of teacher pay from the average pay level in the subject of the Russian Federation”. The author also discusses specifics of regional policies on incentive payments as an instrument of influencing the education quality, analyzes changes to teacher workload as an indicator of labor intensity, and gives an assessment of how regional budgets and the pursued national transfer payment policy affect the prospects of teacher pay rise in different groups of regions. All in all, analysis of the data obtained in the Electronic Monitoring of Education Quality has proved the teacher pay pattern to be extremely irregular. Regional differences depend little on the selected remuneration model, while financial constraints become an ever more dominant factor.
University Students Reasons for Commiting Academic Fraud and Knowledge about Regulations. A Qualitative Interview Study
Authors: Ligi Magnus , Trasberg Karmen
Published: July 2015

The article focuses on university students reasons for commiting academic fraud and students knowledge about regulations concerning academic dishonesty. A qualitative study has been carried out with students from Estonia, Finland and USA, consisting of eight in-depth interviews. Qualitative inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data. A document analysis has been carried out to provide a comparative look into how different universities regulate academic fraud. The results indicate that students commit academic fraud mainly because of individual reasons such as not being able to memorize the necessary amount of material and that students are not very well aware or the regulations concerning academic dishonesty. The study shows the need for Estonian and Finnish universities to develop their strategies on dealing with academic dishonesty and promoting academic integrity.
On Modifying the Prescriptions for Teaching Literature in Contemporary School (Comment by E. Abelyuk)
Authors: Pavlovets Mikhail , Remorenko Igor
Published: July 2015

A survey of first-year philology students was conducted in autumn 2008 at Moscow Humanitarian Pedagogical Institute (MHPI) with a purpose to explore their reading interests and to get an idea of how they had read the required school reading books — whether in full, in short summaries, or in excerpts. The same survey was conducted in 2013 among first-year philology students of the Institute of Humanities at Moscow City Pedagogical University, of which the MHPI became part in 2012. We discovered that high-school students did not read all dramatic and epic required reading books in full and showed little interest towards books telling about the painful points of the Russian history (collectivization, repressions, famine, etc.) or stories with complicated plots. The list of particularly important books has changed insignificantly, consisting almost entirely of required school reading books and foreign books, with their number reduced by a third for the last five years. The scope of reading interests also proved to involve mainly foreign literature and to have shrunken in the last five years. The required reading list and the number of books actually read by high-school graduates do not coincide: even philology-oriented school students read many books in excerpts or simplified versions. Literature as a school subject does not create enough motivation to read what is referred to as national literary classics. We find it necessary to revise the conventional attitudes to state prescriptions for teaching literature, to refuse from rigid required reading book lists, and to switch to a competency-based model of literary education outlined in the Federal State Literature Standards. A transition like that will require revision of the existing approaches to testing reading and speaking competencies of  school leavers through the Unified State Examination.
Mother Tongue as a Means of Developing Student’s Individuality. Review of the book: Alfyorov A. (1911) Rodnoy yazyk v sredney shkole (opyt metodiki) [Mother Tongue at Secondary School A Methodological Experience)], Moscow.
Authors: Lyubzhin Aleksey
Published: July 2015

Analyzing the book written by the creator of the most reputable pre-revolutionary methodology of teaching Russian philology, we compare Alfyorov’s views with contemporary beliefs and associate them with problems that are debated today in academic and teaching communities. Particularly, we discuss proportion of methodological and subject-specific components in teacher professional qualification; educative and upbringing objectives of secondary school; role of the mother tongue in the curriculum structure; distribution of subjects in secondary school syllabus; importance of literary standards, popular language and individual language arts; inconsistency between school language rules and linguistics as a science; simplification of orthography. Specific attention is given to writing as a means of development and control at school. The key pre-requisite for productive writing is a subject that is meaningful and interesting to the student. Development of writing skills should always go along the axis of complication, but not changing genres (description, narration, argumentation, etc.). One of the dangers that are posed by misuse of writing in the learning process is that people eventually lose the ability to think real, creating a widespread category of “wordy people” who cannot tell anymore when they talk about facts or argue about words. This fear of the author panned out to the full at the Soviet school.
The Homeric poems in Romanian attire. A diachronic analysis (I)
Authors: Bârlea Petre Gheorghe
Published: July 2015

The present study examines the history of the Romanian translations of the Homeric poems, from the perspective of the evolution of Romanian literary language. We start from the premise that any such translation represents a test of virtuosity not only for the particular translator, but also for the respective modern language and culture, therefore we find it interesting to study the manner in which the development of Homeric exegesis and of translation theories parallel the phases of evolution in modern languages. Therefore the analytical framework will include principles, methods and instruments operating in such domains as language history, translation studies, as well as elements borrowed from contrastive-typological grammar, from philology, in the restrictive sense of the concept, from the theory of mentalities, cultural history and others. Our undertaking highlights the fact that the historical evolution of the act of translation is, naturally, marked by the translator’s personality (theoretical and ideological options, as well as linguistic competences, poetic flair), but also by the cultural context of the respective age and space. At least in the case of Romanian culture, it is noteworthy that, on the whole, the most recent version is also the best.
Conceptul ‘Treime’ din Paradisul lui Dante reflectat în traducerile românești
Authors: Ungureanu Cristian
Published: July 2015

Traducătorul Paradisului lui Dante întîmpină o dificultate de dublu nivel. Mai întîi, pe cea rezultată din limitarea inerentă condiției umane în a exprima inefabilul, pe care o resimte autorul; apoi, pe cea rezultată din dificultatea limbajului pe care Dante însuși îl construiește pentru a depăși prima dificultate. Reușita sau eșecul unei traduceri se măsoară în funcție de procentul din mesajul original pe care traducătorul îl face accesibil cititorului de altă limbă, iar acest procent poate fi constatat numai prin analiza comparativă. Lucrarea de față își are ca fundament analiza comparativă dintre textul original al Paradisului și traducerile sale românești, cu referire la contextele în care apare conceptul ‘Treimii’; acest examen arată că în versiunile românești sînt și echivalări reușite, fidele semantic și formal, dar și cazuri de „trădare” a originalului.
Inserturile și omisiunile în Catehismul calvinesc din 1648
Authors: Pál Enikő
Published: July 2015

Studiul de față este menit a contribui la cercetările asupra vechilor traduceri românești, privite din perspectivă traductologică. În acest sens, finalitatea urmărită o constituie aceea de a configura o tipologie a inserturilor și a omisiunilor observabile în traducerea românească a catehismului din 1648, plecîndu-se de la cauzele care le-au generat. Astfel, aplicînd metodele și instrumentarul proprii analizei comparative, se urmăresc contextele în care traducerea românească prezintă abateri de la una dintre cele două surse întrebuințate sau de ambele, precum și considerentele care au putut orienta opțiunile traducătorului de a insera sau, dimpotrivă, de a omite unități lingvistice de dimensiuni variate. În textul supus analizei, statutul inserturilor și al omisiunilor variază de la caz la caz, însă, luate în ansamblu, acestea pot fi grupate în două clase esențiale, reflectînd două nivele de performanță diferite: nivelul creației, respectiv cel al imitației.

Authors: Groppo Pedro
Published: July 2015

A experiência de J. G. Ballard (1930-2009), que passou sua infância em Xangai durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, influenciou a sua ficção de maneira marcante. Mesmo que a guerra tenha um papel proeminente no imaginário de Ballard, passaram-se quase quarenta anos até que ele escrevesse um romance semiautobiográfico,  Império do sol. Ecos de suas experiências são comuns em suas obras, e certos eventos até são narrados mais de uma vez em diferentes contos e romances. Partindo de um desses eventos iterativos, o presente artigo analisa os principais textos autobiográficos e semiautobiográficos de Ballard de modo a elucidar a sua intrigante fusão de memória e imaginação.

qualquer processo de significação.

O tempo como protagonista em "Anna dos 6 aos 18", de Nikita Mikhalkov
Authors: Ventura Cristiane
Published: July 2015

O presente estudo visa analisar como a atuação do tempo — cronológico (histórico) e subjetivo (memória) — aliado às imagens de arquivos, torna-se um forte elemento dentro da narrativa enquanto possível peça fundamental para a construção da mesma. Para exemplificar essas estratégias de utilização do tempo, analisarei o documentário Anna dos 6 aos 18 (1993), do cineasta russo Nikita Mikhalkov. Além de discutir as conotações da memória e autorreferencialidade e suas respectivas implicaturas dentro da construção da narrativa fílmica.

Sobre a violência cultivada no jardim (Imagem)
Authors: Rodrigues Rodrigo Freitas

Sobre a violência cultivada no jardim

 “Fomos maus expectadores da vida se não vemos  também a mão que delicadamente – mata!”

 Nietzsche

 

As pinturas que compõem o livro intitulado “Sobre a violência cultivada no jardim” são fruto de uma pesquisa artística que se interessa pelas formas veladas de violência. Não é por acaso que a casa, com seus objetos e arredores, fornece a matéria prima para a realização desse trabalho, no qual o espaço doméstico se torna palco para as tensões e equilíbrios instáveis que permeiam as relações cotidianas. “Sobre a violência cultivada no jardim” é um trabalho que dialoga com o as artes plásticas e, de maneira especial, com o cinema, do qual derivam muitas das imagens desse livro de pinturas. Desse diálogo entre as artes, as referências se entrecruzam, se ampliam, permitindo a construção de novas leituras para cada imagem, que silenciosamente deixa entrever a violência coerciva presente sobretudo no contexto familiar.

Published: July 2015

Os quatro movimentos que se seguem foram escritos com Clarice Lispector, ou melhor, ao lado dela. Mais precisamente na proximidade de um de seus textos – “Crônica da morte de Mineirinho”. Com passos curtos, mas precisos e persistentes, ora distantes do texto, ora incrivelmente próximos, eles caminham na direção de desdobrar e construir dobras de leitura e de escrita, no meio da violência da dor causada pela morte de um facínora.
