Published: June 2019

Rhamdia quelen é um peixe de água doce com hábito alimentar onívoro. Ocorre desde o sudeste do México até o sul da Argentina. São peixes que apresentam boa adaptação em viveiros de piscicultura, com excelente aceitação no mercado consumidor. Com o aumento da aquicultura no Brasil e no mundo, o estudo sobre parasitos de peixes tem aumentado, pois além de causarem mortalidade dos peixes, algumas espécies apresentam potencial zoonótico. O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar parasitos e descrever os locais de infecção destes em R. quelen comercializados no sul do Brasil. Foram necropsiados 50 espécimes adquiridos em peixarias, utilizando técnicas específicas para coleta e identificação de parasitos. A prevalência de parasitismo foi de 64% (32/50), sendo 50% por parasitos da classe Digenea. Clinostomum complanatum o mais prevalente (40%), seguido de Tylodelphys cf. destructor (10%), Acanthostomum sp. (8%) e Genarchella sp. (4%). A ocorrência desses parasitos foi maior na musculatura, seguido de gônadas e coração. A prevalência de Nematoda foi de 42%, sendo identificadas larvas de Contracaecum sp. em 24% e Hysterothylacium sp. em 22% dos peixes. O órgão mais parasitado foi o intestino, seguido do estômago. Diante dos resultados, conclui-se que o elevado parasitismo encontrado em R. quelen comercializado em Pelotas apresenta significativo potencial zoonótico, advindo dos helmintos C. complanatum e Contracaecum. Sendo assim, alerta-se para os riscos da ingestão deste peixe cru ou mal-cozido, bem como a perdas econômicas à piscicultura advindas da infecção de R. quelen por esses parasitos.

A bronquite infecciosa das galinhas (IB) é uma enfermidade altamente contagiosa que acomete aves de todas as idades e causa grandes prejuízos na avicultura. O trabalho descreve uma metodologia para expressão da glicoproteína S1 do vírus da bronquite infecciosa das galinhas (IBV) em Pichia pastoris e Escherichia coli. Para P. pastoris o gene foi amplificado por RT-PCR, com posterior clonagem e expressão no vetor pPICZαB. Para E. coli, foi elaborado o gene sintético a partir de uma sequência consenso de amostras de campo nacionais e internacionais, clonado e expresso no vetor pAE. Após indução dos clones, a proteína S1 foi identificada pelas técnicas de Dot blotting e Western blotting. A proteína expressa apresentou reatividade frente a soros de aves positivas para IBV, evidenciando sua antigenicidade.
ASPECTOS CLÍNICOS E EXPERIMENTAIS DA DOR EM EQUINOS: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Alves José Edgard De Oliveira , Vieira Evelyn Mayara Perrut , Sartori Fábio , Catelli Marcelo Flores
Published: June 2019

A dor é um fenômeno produzido a partir de uma experiência sensorial ou emocional aversiva, representada pela consciência de um dano tecidual real ou potencial, que projeta uma série de alterações fisiológicas e comportamentais que visam evitar ou minimizar a ocorrência de tal dano com o intuito de proteger o organismo e manter a homeostase. Este fenômeno tem impacto direto sobre o bem-estar animal e seu controle é uma responsabilidade profissional do Médico Veterinário. A percepção da dor pelo indivíduo depende de uma série de eventos que envolvem o sistema nervoso periférico e central, tais como a transdução, transmissão, modulação, projeção e processamento central do impulso elétrico gerado pelo estímulo nocivo. Atualmente, diversos fármacos estão disponíveis para o emprego no controle da dor na medicina equina e vários métodos experimentais são descritos para o estudo da dor nesta espécie. Estes modelos permitem avaliar a eficácia de fármacos analgésicos e aprofundar a compreensão sobre os mecanismos envolvidos na fisiopatologia da dor. O objetivo deste artigo é abordar os principais desafios no estudo da dor em equinos, tanto sob o ponto de vista experimental quanto clínico.

Published: June 2019

O estudo da composição e dos efeitos do veneno de abelha têm revelado efeitos farmacológicos, terapêuticos e antimicrobianos e estimulou a análise de seus constituintes de maneira isolada. Melitina, o principal componente da apitoxina, foi avaliada quanto à sua toxicidade frente a diferentes linhagens celulares. Para tanto, células MDBK, MDCK, CRFK, RK13 e Vero foram cultivadas e submetidas à exposição com melitina em concentrações que variaram de 1 a 10 µg/mL para obtenção das concentrações citotóxicas para 50% e 90% dos cultivos celulares (CC50 e CC90, respectivamente) através da avaliação de viabilidade celular pelo ensaio de redução do MTT. Cultivos foram preparados e tratados com as CC50 e CC90 e permaneceram expostos por diferentes períodos quando novamente tiveram sua viabilidade celular avaliada pelo mesmo método. As CC50 e CC90 (µg/mL) foram, respectivamente: MDBK (2,3 e 2,7), MDCK (2,8 e 3,2), CRFK (3,3 e 3,7), RK13 (4,1 e 4,7) e Vero (3,7 e 4,2). As células CRFK e Vero mostraram-se mais resistentes aos 5 minutos de exposição, visto que, na CC50 de melitina, apresentaram a mesma viabilidade celular em relação ao controle de células. Nos demais períodos avaliados, a viabilidade celular de todas as linhagens apresentou-se inferior ao controle de células (p<0,05), diminuindo a viabilidade em função do aumento do tempo de exposição e da concentração. Concluiu-se que a melitina apresentou toxicidade frente às linhagens celulares estudadas, dependente do tempo e da concentração.

BLV causes one of the most relevant viral diseases of dairy cattle although the most of the infected animals are asymptomatic. There are controversies regarding reproductive losses on infected herds. Our purpose was to evaluate the horizontal transmission of the virus in a group of Holstein heifers confined in a rearing system and to determine the impact of infection on reproductive performance. Three hundred eighty-nine animals were sampled and seroconversion was determined by ELISA. The occurrence of estrous behavior, number of services/pregnancy, conception rate, percentage of pregnant animals by artificial insemination and by bull service during two breeding periods (June-July and November-December 2012) were recorded. Herd BLV initial seroprevalence was 45% and annual conception rate was 39.8% (CI 30.5%-49%). During the 18 month time course two seroconversion peaks were detected. The first one happened during the admission period, most likely due to quarantine and intensive health management of the animals. The second peak occurred during the first gestational period. At the end of the study, 73.6% of the heifers were BLV seropositive and there was reduction of 27% in the herd conception rate in the second breeding period (p=0.005). In conclusion, BLV infection and reproductive performance were negatively associated and high seroconversion was observed during the gestational period.

Nowadays the internet, social media, and mobile technologies are indispensable for our daily lives. During the past decade, online social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and their social media apps like Instagram have been caused profound changes in the communication and interaction of people. In addition, social networking sites have become the focus of interest for everyone who has access to the Internet and who can use computers, tablets or smartphones.  Especially, youth and university students use the internet and social media as a mass communication vehicle with easy and fast access at an increasing frequency rate for their academic and/or other purposes. These tools are no longer just a good source of information but they have become a good reference guide for social interaction, games, information exchange and other purposes at the same time. People, -due to their nature- seek for entertainment, in order to have a good time and obtain information. Modern consumers use these social networking platforms as well to meet their needs to gather information on many subjects. This research aims to determine the effect of Instagram usage attitude on opinion seeking and the mediator effect of consumer innovativeness on this relationship. The results of this study reveal that consumers use Instagram as an information source about brands, products, and services. Moreover, Instagram usage attitude has a positive effect on opinion seeking.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery continues to be the gold standard for treating the patients with coronary artery disease. CABG surgery can be performed on or off cardiopulmonary bypass, termed as on-pump or off-pump CABG, respectively. It has been shown that CABG surgery, preferably on-pump CABG surgery, leads to the changes of cell immunity during perioperative and early postoperative period. The mechanisms of regulation of the immune response in patients during and early after surgical revascularization are not fully understood.
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of carbohydrate preoperative oral feeding on frequency and perforin expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients after on- or off-pump CABG surgery in early postoperative period.
Patients and methods: In this prospective clinical study, 80 patients scheduled for CABG surgery were included in the study. The patients were randomly allocated into four groups (20 in each group): patients in Group 1 underwent on-pump CABG and did not receive carbohydrate preoperative oral feeding; patients in Group 2 underwent on-pump CABG and were preoperatively fed; patients in Group 3 underwent off-pump CABG and did not receive carbohydrate preoperative oral feeding; while patients in Group 4 underwent off-pump CABG and received carbohydrate preoperative oral feeding. Blood samples were collected immediately before (T1), 24 (T2) and 72 (T3) hours after the surgery. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by gradient centrifugation and simultaneously labelled by antigens using fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies. Frequency of T lymphocytes, NK and NKT cells, their subsets as well as their perforin expression were detected, and analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: There was significant decrease in frequency of CD3+ and CD3+CD4+ cells, as well as perforin expressing CD3+CD8+ cells in patients who underwent on-pump CABG in comparison to patients who underwent off-pump CABG 24 hours after the surgery. Carbohydrate preoperative oral feeding did not effect changes in lymphocytes subpopulations and perforin expression at any time point.
Conclusion: Decreases of CD3+ cells on account of CD3+CD4+ subsets, and perforin expressing cells on account of CD3+CD8+ perforin+ cells were found in patients who had undergone on-pump CABG, but not in patients who had undergone off-pump CABG surgery, irrespectively of carbohydrate preoperative oral feeding.

Published: June 2019

Polyadenylation is an essential post-transcriptional modification of eukaryotic transcripts that plays critical role in transcript stability, localization, transport, and translational efficiency. About 70% genes in plants contain alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites. Despite availability of vast amount of sequencing data, to date, a comprehensive map of the polyadenylation events in maize is not available. Here, 9.48 billion RNA-Seq reads were analyzed to characterize 95,345 Poly(A) Clusters (PAC) in 23,705 (51%) maize genes. Of these, 76% were APA genes. However, most APA genes (55%) expressed a dominant PAC rather than favoring multiple PACs equally. The lincRNA genes with PACs were significantly longer in length than the genes without any PAC and about 48% genes had APA sites. Heterogeneity was observed in 52% of the PACs supporting the imprecise nature of the polyadenylation process. Genomic distribution revealed that the majority of the PACs (78%) were located in the genic regions. Unlike previous studies, large number of PACs were observed in the intergenic (n = 21,264), 5′-UTR (735), CDS (2,542), and the intronic regions (12,841). The CDS and introns with PACs were longer in length than without PACs, whereas intergenic PACs were more often associated with transcripts that lacked annotated 3′-UTRs. Nucleotide composition around PACs demonstrated AT-richness and the common upstream motif was AAUAAA, which is consistent with other plants. According to this study, only 2,830 genes still maintained the use of AAUAAA motif. This large-scale data provides useful insights about the gene expression regulation and could be utilized as evidence to validate the annotation of transcript ends.

Si bien es cierto que en nuestra Universidad Autónoma de Baja California se han esforzado en pretender lograr la inclusión, esta no se ha logrado.Hablamos de la inclusión de las personas con alguna discapacidad, las cuales, a pesar de ser aceptadas por dicha institución, no han logrado la garantía de esa inclusión, violentando con ello lo previsto por nuestra Constitución en su artículo primero, párrafo último, que refiere: “Queda prohibida toda discriminación motivada por origen étnico o nacional, el género, la edad, las discapacidades, la condición social, las condiciones de salud, la religión, las opiniones, las preferencias sexuales, el estado civil o cualquier otra que atente contra la dignidad humana y tenga por objeto anular o menoscabar los derechos y libertades de las personas.” Así pues, encontramos una seria violación a la dignidad humana de las personas con discapacidad, al no encontrar en nuestra institución educativa la verdadera adecuación a sus necesidades principales.La inclusión de las personas con discapacidad no se logra con la simple construcción de rampas y señalamientos de espacios para dichas personas, nuestra Universidad ha tratado, pero no ha logrado la verdadera inclusión de su infraestructura a dicho reto. No se diga si hablamos del personal docente, el cual tampoco está capacitado y mucho menos instruido en este tema en el ámbito de las discapacidades. Nuestra universidad, y consideramos que igualmente todas las de nuestro país, deben velar por lograr la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad.

Authors: Salas Segura Donato , Velázquez Ramírez Adriana , Jiménez Martínez Carolina
Published: June 2019

La endocarditis infecciosa afecta principalmente las válvulas cardiacas, produciendo una lesión primaria que se conoce como vegetación. El 50% de los pacientes con esta enfermedad, no poseen factores de riesgo asociados. Las manifestaciones clínicas son variables, entre ellas las más frecuentes son fiebre, anemia y el desarrollo de un nuevo soplo cardiaco o el agravamiento de uno antiguo. La evolución clínica de la endocarditis depende del microorganismo causal; usualmente la produce un Streptococcus spp. o Staphylococcus aureus. En la población adulta mayor e inmunodeficiente, el agente patógeno más común es el Streptococcus gallolyticus. Las complicaciones neurológicas, son las más comunes y graves de la endocarditis infecciosa; dentro de estas, el aneurisma micótico es una complicación que presenta una alta mortalidad del 60-80%. En el presente artículo, se discute el caso de un paciente joven y sin factores de riesgo asociados, que presentó una endocarditis infecciosa por Streptococcus gallolyticus y desarrolló un aneurisma micótico como complicación neurológica de esta.

Published: June 2019

Consumption of undercooked or raw pork is considered a significant risk factor for human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of 18 T. gondii strains obtained from slaughter pigs from Northern Serbia (mainly Vojvodina). The examined samples originated from eight pigs from large commercial farms, six backyard pigs and four free-range Mangalica pigs, all found to be positive for either viable T. gondii or T. gondii DNA. Genotyping was attempted from both pig tissues and mouse brains from the bio-assays using a multiplex multilocus nested polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (Mn-PCR-RFLP) method with seven markers (GRA6, alt. SAG2, PK-1, BTUB, C22-8, CS3 and Apico). Identification was achieved for nine T. gondii isolates. Seven isolates were classified as type II and two as type III. These results are consistent with previous studies on animal isolates from Serbia as well as with previous reports that type III is more frequently found in samples from Southern Europe than in those from other parts of the continent.
Distinctive site preference of the fish parasite Myxobolus cerebralis (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) during host invasion
Authors: Eszterbauer Edit , Sipos Dóra , Szakály Ágnes , Herczeg Dávid
Published: June 2019

Here, we experimentally studied the site preference ofMyxobolus cerebralis, one of the most pathogenic myxozoan (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) fish parasites, which causes whirling disease in salmonids. Parasite invasion was examined in three fish species with various susceptibility levels: the type host brown trout, the highly susceptible rainbow trout, and the non-susceptible gibel carp, in which parasite spores do not develop. We investigated the first two hours of fish invasion, and measured the site preference of triactinomyxons (TAMs) during attachment and penetration of fish in three body parts (gills, fins, skin). Infection prevalence and intensity were estimated using a species-specific nested PCR, optimised in the present study. The highest infection prevalence was detected in the most susceptible fish species, rainbow trout. Interestingly, higher prevalence was observed in gibel carp than in the type host, brown trout (95.2% vs. 85.7%). Considering body locations, remarkable differences were detected in infection intensities. The highest intensity was observed in fins, whereas skin was the least infected body part in every fish species examined. Infection prevalence and intensity did not differ significantly among fish species. Thus, we confirmed thatM. cerebralisTAMs cannot discern fish species. Furthermore, we proved experimentally that fish fin is significantly more attractive to fish-invading parasite TAMs than gills or skin.

On the Orbits of One Non-Solvable 5-Dimensional Lie Algebra
Authors: Atanov Artem , Loboda Alexander
Published: June 2019

This paper studies holomorphic homogeneous real hypersurfaces
in C3 associated with the unique non-solvable indecomposable 5-dimensional
Lie algebra 𝑔5 (in accordance with Mubarakzyanov’s notation). Unlike many
other 5-dimensional Lie algebras with “highly symmetric” orbits, non-degenerate
orbits of 𝑔5 are “simply homogeneous”, i.e. their symmetry algebras are exactly
5-dimensional. All those orbits are equivalent (up to holomorphic equivalence) to
the specific indefinite algebraic surface of the fourth order.
The proofs of those statements involve the method of holomorphic realizations
of abstract Lie algebras. We use the approach proposed by Beloshapka and
Kossovskiy, which is based on the simultaneous simplification of several basis
vector fields. Three auxiliary lemmas formulated in the text let us straighten
two basis vector fields of 𝑔5 and significantly simplify the third field.
There is a very important assumption which is used in our considerations:
we suppose that all orbits of 𝑔5 are Levi non-degenerate. Using the method of
holomorphic realizations, it is easy to show that one need only consider two sets
of holomorphic vector fields associated with 𝑔5. We prove that only one of these
sets leads to Levi non-degenerate orbits. Considering the commutation relations
of 𝑔5, we obtain a simplified basis of vector fields and a corresponding integrable
system of partial differential equations. Finally, we get the equation of the orbit
(unique up to holomorphic transformations)
(𝑣 − 𝑥2𝑦1)2 + 𝑦2
1𝑦2
2 = 𝑦1,
which is the equation of the algebraic surface of the fourth order with the
indefinite Levi form.
Then we analyze the obtained equation using the method of Moser normal
forms. Considering the holomorphic invariant polynomial of the fourth order
corresponding to our equation, we can prove (using a number of results obtained
by A.V. Loboda) that the upper bound of the dimension of maximal symmetry
algebra associated with the obtained orbit is equal to 6. The holomorphic invariant
polynomial mentioned above differs from the known invariant polynomials of
Cartan’s and Winkelmann’s types corresponding to other hypersurfaces with 6-
dimensional symmetry algebras.
The Approximation of the Fourth-Order Partial Differential Equations in the Class of the Piecewise Polynomial Functions on the Triangular Grid
Authors: Klyachin Aleksey , Klyachin Vladimir
Published: June 2019

The present work determines the deviation of the piecewise cubic
almost-solution of the biharmonic equation and derives the general formula (3)
for its calculation. Based on this concept, we obtained an approximation of the
equation. A number of numerical calculations were carried out in order to confirm
the obtained formula (see pictures 1 and 2) experimentally.
In general, for all selected biharmonic functions, the deviation value "ΔΔ(𝑢)
turned out to be, as expected, rather small even with a relatively small number
of triangulation nodes. On average, with 25 ≤ 𝑁 ≤ 35, the absolute error was
about 0, 0001, which gives an approximately asymptotic estimate of 𝑂(ℎ2) when
the partitioning step is ℎ → 0.
The mechanism of polarization leveling in the development of multi-level territorial socio-economic systems
Authors: Gataullin Rinat
Published: June 2019

The article reveals the structure and functions of the polarization leveling mechanism elements in the development of multi-level territorial socio-economic systems. As the main directions of leveling the polarization of territories, the formation of zones of advanced development, the formation of growth points in them, the prevention of depressive areas, the formation of areas of new development, which should be provided by taking advantage of the spatial location, the existing natural potential, the generation of innovations and the implementation of institutional advantages. Also, the factors of leveling and polarization of socio-economic development of regions are systematized. Polarization in the socio-economic development of territorial entities is considered as a result of the action of the market element. Leveling, on the contrary, is recognized as a field for state and municipal authorities.
The criterion of optimality of differences in socio-economic development is considered by analogy with the methods of justice assessment. Comparisons of equity are considered horizontally and vertically. Horizontally, equal differences in indicators of social and economic development are recognized as fair. Vertically – the presence of differences in the same indicators, but equally. As the main criterion of horizontal optimality, the author suggests a coincidence in the rating of the quality of life of the population and the level of labor productivity in certain territorial entities.
As a criterion of optimality of differences in the level of socio-economic development of territories, which is provided by the redistribution of resources, it is proposed to achieve the maximum level of growth in production in the future. Project management of territorial systems is considered as an effective measure to level polarization in the development of multi-level territorial socio-economic systems. The structure of the system of relevant institutions is shown.
Internacionais e glamorosas: sobre a carreira das “travestis profissionais”
Authors: Soliva Thiago Barcelos
Published: June 2019

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as estratégias de agenciamento e as técnicas corporais das “travestis profissionais” a partir das suas circulações e carreiras internacionais. Buscou-se analisar como a experiência de circulação dessas pessoas pela Europa constituiu evento importante para consolidar suas carreiras e construção de si. Foi a partir dessas circulações que essas pessoas puderam travar contato com o mundo das modificações corporais e também construir estratégias de resistência que, a partir do trânsito nas convenções de gênero e classe, possibilitaram a existência de suas formas de vida. Os dados para a escrita deste artigo foram obtidos através de fontes documentais, fotográficas e de relatos de trajetórias de vida das “travestis profissionais” que vivenciaram esses processos. As trajetórias de Rogéria, Eloína dos Leopardos, Marquesa e Divina Valéria foram focalizadas neste estudo.
Sexualidade: Saber e Individualidade
Authors: Neves Dulce Morgado
Published: June 2019

Resumo: Este artigo resulta de um exercício de revisão de literatura feito no âmbito de uma pesquisa de doutoramento em Sociologia, cujo objetivo central consistiu na identificação de mudanças e continuidades nas formas de viver e representar a sexualidade, nas últimas décadas, em Portugal. Em concreto, procurámos com este artigo explorar duas vias fundamentais de conceptualização da sexualidade: primeiro, a sexualidade enquanto campo legítimo do saber científico e, depois, a sexualidade enquanto objeto da Sociologia em particular. Deste exercício resulta a ideia de que, enquanto dimensão da vida social, a sexualidade é um reflexo de mudanças sociais mais abrangentes, sendo, nas sociedades contemporâneas, palco de importantes conquistas identitárias e lugar de excelência para uma nova ordem de individualização e prazer.

Resumo: Neste artigo, analisamos a construção do empoderamento das mulheres em um grupo de ciclismo urbano do Sertão Pernambucano. Realizamos uma etnografia durante um ano por meio de observação participante, de entrevistas em profundidade e no acompanhamento diário das atividades, eventos e mídias sociais de um grupo de ciclismo liderado por mulheres. E incluímos neste grupo os homens que participavam ativamente das atividades e eventos realizados. Os marcos teóricos que fundamentaram as análises foram as perspectivas relacional e performática dos estudos de gênero. Concluímos que as experiências de empoderamento das mulheres estiveram ancoradas nas vivências de fisicalidade, bem como nas relações de solidariedade e companheirismo experimentadas pelos/as participantes na prática da modalidade em grupo.
Neurocognitive study of school performance among Moroccan high school students: The role of working memory
Authors: Eloirdi Aziz , Ahami Ahmed , Mammad Khaoula
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT. The Moroccan school system suffers from recurring dysfunctions as reported by the National Evaluation Body (NEB). These results lead to the degradation of learning and academic performance, in which several factors come into play. In Morocco, studies focusing on the neurocognitive profile of students and its influence on school performance are very limited or rare. In this context, the present study aims to study the role of working memory in school performance among Moroccan high school students. Methods: our sample contains 146 high school students. A total of 78 boys and 68 girls participated in this study and the numerical version of The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test (ROCF) was used to assess working memory. Moreover, school performance is represented in this study by the mean obtained during the first semester. Results: the results of multiple linear regression revealed that working memory significantly explains variation in school performance. Conclusion: neuropsychological abilities, particularly working memory, significantly explain the deterioration in school performance of students reported by the National Evaluation Body.

Atitude crítica e o sujeito de direitos das políticas (não) identitárias
Authors: Araujo Dhyego Câmara de
Published: June 2019

Resumo O presente artigo busca analisar dois possíveis modos de compreensão da identidade no direito, aqui chamados de metafísica da identidade e identidade-acontecimento. Aponta-se, em um primeiro momento, o regime de governamentalização da vida no cenário contemporâneo para, em seguida, verificar a concomitância entre as políticas (não) identitárias e a política dos direitos. Se os direitos protegem os sujeitos os enclausurando em uma identidade metafísica, também permitem instaurar identidades-acontecimentos como atitudes críticas frente às técnicas de governo. O argumento reside na compreensão da crítica arqueogenealógica foucaultiana como uma das formas de resistência às técnicas de governo dos direitos identitários, ao apontar para novas formas de “emancipação”.

Iben Nagel Rasmussen: a transparência na maturidade
Authors: Duarte Priscilla de Queiroz
Published: June 2019

Resumo: Propõe-se a transparência como qualidade que emerge do percurso da atriz Iben Nagel Rasmussen, representante de uma dimensão laboratorial, de trabalho sobre si, do teatro europeu. Sugere-se uma analogia entre o tempo aromático de Han e a qualidade da transparência. A maturidade artística de Stanislavski é ponto de partida para indagar-se sobre o sentido das experiências do ator maduro, à luz de princípios da arte do ator nô, provenientes de Zeami. É salientada a qualidade da transparência na autonomia de Rasmussen com relação ao Odin Teatret, na criação de espetáculos de inspiração biográfica, além de projetos pedagógicos, e como valor a ser cultivado na cena expandida contemporânea.
Renforcer, Renouer et Étendre les Liens: l’Odin Teatret à Cuba et en Uruguay au XXIe siècle
Authors: De Sanctis Arianna Berenice
Published: June 2019

Résumé: L’Odin Teatret, fondé à Oslo en 1964 et installé au Danemark depuis 1966, a commencé à tisser des relations privilégiées avec les artistes latino-américains à partir de la deuxième moitié des années 1970, notamment lors de ses nombreuses tournées au-delà de l’Océan (1976-aujourd’hui). À travers deux études de cas (tournées de l’Odin à Cuba, 2002 et en Uruguay, 2006), cet article analyse quelques caractéristiques de ce réseau, à la fois ancien et contemporain, qui a permis aux performeurs des deux continents de rendre leur aventure théâtrale plus solide et durable en partageant des réflexions, des savoir-faire ainsi que des voies de production et de diffusion alternatives.
Writing, experience, and literary experience in Montaigne’s Essays and Sartre’s Nausea
Authors: Córdova Chad
Published: June 2019

Abstract This article begins with an analysis of the semantic, tropological, and metaphysical associations of our modern concept of “experience,” which distinguish its form and contents from other opposing concepts. These not only include such general notions as Reason, Education, and Science, they also point to how “experience” has been thought, and lived, in opposition to the verbal and representational media of texts, printed books, and writing in general. Deconstruction (Derrida) and media theory (McLuhan) provide us with ways of understanding how the emergence of our concept of “experience” relied on, as much as it opposed, the media of writing and books, and their surrounding practices and institutions (like reading and schooling). “Experience” per se is perhaps unthinkable without such media and their institutionalized practices. More than modern theory, however, it is one of the major functions of modern literature to display this relation of conflict and dependence, and, even, to embody it in its very form in literary writing. Beyond the opposition of writing and “experience” is thus posed the question of the nature of the equivocal concept of “literary experience.” What would such a thing entail? This article explores this concept through two texts that attempt to bring “experience” into their very form: Montaigne’s Essays and Sartre’s Nausea.
