Persistent human papillomavirus infection in the etiology of cervical carcinoma: The role of immunological, genetic, viral and cellular factors
Authors: Zivadinovic Radomir , Petric Aleksandra , Lilic Goran , Lilic Vekoslav , Djordjevic Biljana
Published: July 2014

The aim of this paper was to present the role of human papillomavirus (HPV)
in cervical carcinogenesis from several aspects. By explaining the HPV virus
lifecycle and structure, its effect on cervical cell cycle and subversion of
immune response can be better understood. Early E region of the viral genome
encodes proteins that are directly involved in carcinogenesis. The E6 protein
binds to p53 protein (product of tumor-suppressor gene) blocking and
degrading it, which in turn prevents cell cycle arrest and apoptosis
induction. E6 is also capable of telomerase activation, which leads to cell
immortalization; it also reacts with host proto-oncogene c-jun, responsible
for transcription, shortens G1 phase and speeds up the transition from G1 to
S phase of the cells infected by HPV. E7 forms bonds with retinoblastoma
protein (product of tumor-suppressor gene) and inactivates it. It can
inactivate cyclin inhibitors p21, p27, and abrogate the mitotic spindle
checkpoint with the loss of protective effect of pRB and p53. The immune
system cannot initiate early immunological reaction since the virus is
non-lytic, while the concentration of viral proteins - antigens is low and
has a basal intracellular position. Presentation through Langerhans cells
(LC) is weak, because the number of these cells is low due to the effect of
HPV. E7 HPV reduces the expression of E-cadherin, which is responsible for LC
adhesion to HPVtransformed keratinocytes. Based on these considerations, it
may be concluded that the process of cervical carcinogenesis includes viral,
genetic, cellular, molecular-biological, endocrine, exocrine and
immunological factors.

Published: June 2014

OBJECTIVE

To identify the psychosocial experiences of diabetes, including negative accounts of diabetes and adaptive ways of coping from the perspective of the person with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Participants were 8,596 adults (1,368 with type 1 diabetes and 7,228 with type 2 diabetes) in the second Diabetes Attitudes, Wishes and Needs (DAWN2) study. Qualitative data were responses to open-ended survey questions about successes, challenges, and wishes for improvement in living with diabetes and about impactful experiences. Emergent coding developed with multinational collaborators identified thematic content about psychosocial aspects. The κ measure of interrater reliability was 0.72.

RESULTS

Analysis identified two negative psychosocial themes: 1) anxiety/fear, worry about hypoglycemia and complications of diabetes, depression, and negative moods/hopelessness and 2) discrimination at work and public misunderstanding about diabetes. Two psychosocial themes demonstrated adaptive ways of coping with diabetes: 1) having a positive outlook and sense of resilience in the midst of having diabetes and 2) receiving psychosocial support through caring and compassionate family, friends, health care professionals, and other people with diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS

The personal accounts give insight into the psychosocial experiences and coping strategies of people with diabetes and can inform efforts to meet those needs and capitalize on strengths.
Ventral Striatum, but Not Cortical Volume Loss, Is Related to Cognitive Dysfunction in Type 1 Diabetic Patients With and Without Microangiopathy
Authors: van Duinkerken Eelco , Schoonheim Menno M. , Steenwijk Martijn D. , Klein Martin , IJzerman Richard G. , Moll Annette C. , Heymans Martijn W. , Snoek Frank J. , Barkhof Frederik , Diamant Michaela
Published: June 2014

OBJECTIVE

Patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes may develop microangiopathy due to high cumulative glucose exposure. Also, chronic hyperglycemia is related to cerebral alterations and cognitive dysfunction. Whether the presence of microangiopathy is conditional to the development of hyperglycemia-related cerebral compromise is unclear. Since subcortical, rather than cortical, volume loss was previously related to cognitive dysfunction in other populations, we measured these brain correlates and cognitive functions in patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes with and without microangiopathy.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We evaluated differences in subcortical volume and cortical thickness and volume in type 1 diabetic patients with (n = 51) and without (n = 53) proliferative retinopathy and 49 control subjects and related volume differences to cognitive dysfunction. Analyses were corrected for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, and A1C.

RESULTS

Putamen and right thalamic volume loss was noted in both patients with and without proliferative retinopathy compared with control subjects (all P < 0.05). Additionally, in patients with proliferative retinopathy relative to control subjects, volume loss of the bilateral nucleus accumbens was found (all P < 0.05). No differences were observed between the two patient groups. Cortical thickness and volume were not different between groups. In pooled analyses, lower left nucleus accumbens volume was associated with cognitive dysfunction (P < 0.035).

CONCLUSIONS

This study shows subcortical, but not cortical, volume loss in relation to cognitive dysfunction in patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes, irrespective of microangiopathy. The time course, pathophysiology, and clinical relevance of these findings need to be established in longitudinal and mechanistic studies.
Association Between Impaired Cardiovascular Autonomic Function and Hypoglycemia in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Jaiswal Mamta , McKeon Katherine , Comment Nicholas , Henderson James , Swanson Scott , Plunkett Cynthia , Nelson Patrick , Pop-Busui Rodica
Published: June 2014

OBJECTIVE

We studied the association between glycemic variability (GV) reflecting hypoglycemic stress and cardiovascular autonomic function in subjects with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Forty-four type 1 diabetic patients (mean age 34 ± 13 years, 40% male, 86% Caucasian, mean diabetes duration 13 ± 6 years, mean hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 8.0 ± 1.2% [64 ± 5 mmol/mol]) without cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, or hypertension participated in this pilot study. Indices of GV reflective of hypoglycemic stress (low blood glucose index [LBGI] and area under the curve [AUC] for hypoglycemia) were computed using data obtained during 5-day continuous glucose monitoring. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) was assessed using standardized cardiovascular reflex testing and measures of heart rate variability (HRV), which were analyzed as time and frequency domain measures.

RESULTS

Both LBGI and AUC hypoglycemia had a significant negative association with the low-frequency power of HRV (r = −0.47, P = 0.002; r = −0.43, P = 0.005, respectively) and with the high-frequency power of HRV (r = −0.37, P = 0.018; r = −0.38, P = 0.015, respectively). These inverse associations persisted after adjusting for HbA1c, although they were attenuated in multivariable analysis after adjustment for age, diabetes duration, and several other covariates.

CONCLUSIONS

Increased GV promoting hypoglycemic stress was associated with reduced HRV independent of glycemic control as assessed by HbA1c. These pilot data suggest that glucose variability may contribute to cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction among adults with type 1 diabetes.
Priority right of Land Users to Conclude a New Land Rental Contract
Authors: Lazíková Jarmila
Published: July 2014

Abstract (EN)

The paper deals with the problem of priority right of land users to conclude a new land rental contract from two points of view. The first one is what kind of legal protection can be used by land user if the land owner (landlord) violates his priority right guaranteed by the law. The second point of view is oriented to the ownership right of landlord as one of the human rights and its limitation in favour the land users.

In this respect, the article analyzes certain selected types of restructuring of businesses, such as (i) sale of business or the part of business, (ii) contribution in kind of business or the part of business, (iii) merger transaction from the selected Slovak legal implications that can be used in the agribusiness sector.
Secure sets and their expansion in cubic graphs
Authors: Jesse-Józefczyk Katarzyna , Sidorowicz Elżbieta
Published: June 2014

Consider a graph whose vertices play the role of members of the opposing groups. The edge between two vertices means that these vertices may defend or attack each other. At one time, any attacker may attack only one vertex. Similarly, any defender fights for itself or helps exactly one of its neighbours. If we have a set of defenders that can repel any attack, then we say that the set is secure. Moreover, it is strong if it is also prepared for a raid of one additional foe who can strike anywhere. We show that almost any cubic graph of order n has a minimum strong secure set of cardinality less or equal to n/2 + 1. Moreover, we examine the possibility of an expansion of secure sets and strong secure sets.
Another approach to characterizations of generalized triangle inequalities in normed spaces
Authors: Izumida Tamotsu , Mitani Ken-Ichi , Saito Kichi-Suke
Published: June 2014

In this paper, we consider a generalized triangle inequality of the following type: $$\left\| {x_1 + \cdots + x_n } \right\|^p \leqslant \frac{{\left\| {x_1 } \right\|^p }}
{{\mu _1 }} + \cdots + \frac{{\left\| {x_2 } \right\|^p }}
{{\mu _n }}\left( {for all x_1 , \ldots ,x_n \in X} \right),$$ where (X, ‖·‖) is a normed space, (µ1, ..., µn) ∈ ℝn and p > 0. By using ψ-direct sums of Banach spaces, we present another approach to characterizations of the above inequality which is given by [Dadipour F., Moslehian M.S., Rassias J.M., Takahasi S.-E., Nonlinear Anal., 2012, 75(2), 735–741].

On the frame of the unit ball of Banach spaces
Authors: Tanaka Ryotaro
Published: June 2014

The notion of the frame of the unit ball of Banach spaces was introduced to construct a new calculation method for the Dunkl-Williams constant. In this paper, we characterize the frame of the unit ball by using k-extreme points and extreme points of the unit ball of two-dimensional subspaces. Furthermore, we show that the frame of the unit ball is always closed, and is connected if the dimension of the space is not less than three. As infinite dimensional examples, the frame of the unit balls of c
0 and ℓ
p are determined.
Commutator algebras arising from splicing operations
Authors: Sverchkov Sergei
Published: June 2014

We prove that the variety of Lie algebras arising from splicing operation coincides with the variety CM of centreby-metabelian Lie algebras. Using these Lie algebras we find the minimal dimension algebras generated the variety CM and the variety of its associative envelope algebras. We study the splicing n-ary operation. We show that all n-ary (n > 2) commutator algebras arising from this operation are nilpotent of index 3. We investigate the generalization of the splicing n-ary operation, and we formulate a series of open problems.
Functions on adjacent vertex degrees of trees with given degree sequence
Authors: Wang Hua
Published: June 2014

In this note we consider a discrete symmetric function f(x, y) where $$f(x,a) + f(y,b) \geqslant f(y,a) + f(x,b) for any x \geqslant y and a \geqslant b,$$ associated with the degrees of adjacent vertices in a tree. The extremal trees with respect to the corresponding graph invariant, defined as $$\sum\limits_{uv \in E(T)} {f(deg(u),deg(v))} ,$$ are characterized by the “greedy tree” and “alternating greedy tree”. This is achieved through simple generalizations of previously used ideas on similar questions. As special cases, the already known extremal structures of the Randic index follow as corollaries. The extremal structures for the relatively new sum-connectivity index and harmonic index also follow immediately, some of these extremal structures have not been identified in previous studies.
Some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method for a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients
Authors: Guan Xiaofei , Li Mingxia , He Wenming , Jiang Zhengwu
Published: June 2014

In this paper, some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method are obtained for solving a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients on the inner locally symmetric mesh with respect to a point x
0 for triangular meshes. By using of the weak estimates and local symmetric technique, we obtain improved discretization errors of O(h
p+1 |ln h|2) and O(h
p+2 |ln h|2) when p (≥ 3) is odd and p (≥ 4) is even, respectively. Meanwhile, the results show that the combination of the weak estimates and local symmetric technique is also effective for superconvergence analysis of the second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients.
Isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces
Authors: Marchenko Vitalii
Published: June 2014

We extend a theorem of Kato on similarity for sequences of projections in Hilbert spaces to the case of isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces. To this end we use ℓψ-Hilbertian and ∞-Hilbertian Schauder decompositions instead of orthogonal Schauder decompositions, generalize the concept of an orthogonal Schauder decomposition to the case of Banach spaces and introduce the class of Banach spaces with Schauder-Orlicz decompositions. Furthermore, we generalize the notions of type, cotype, infratype and M-cotype of a Banach space and study the properties of unconditional Schauder decompositions in Banach spaces possessing certain geometric structure.
Identification of hyperacute ischemic stroke with a more homogenous nature
Authors: Yi Kyung , Lee Hong , Lee Sang-Rae , Lee Youngjeon , Lee Seung , Lee Chulhyun , Cha Sang-Hoon
Published: June 2014

Previous reports revealed that middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) models in rats were very diverse in nature, and experimental stroke of a more homogenous nature had not been previously documented. This paper aims to present our novel observations of experimental stroke in rats with similar MRI characteristics after MCAO. Immediately after MCAO, 19 rats were placed into a 4.7 T MRI scanner, and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) of axial and coronal planes was repeated every 10 minutes up to post-occlusion 115 minutes. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the ischemic lesions were calculated and compared to those of the unaffected contra-lateral hemispheres. Successful MCAO was defined when the whole left MCA territory showed ADC abnormality on DWI. Percentage of hemispheric lesion volume (% HLV), relative ADC value (rADC), and relative DWI signal intensity (rDWI) were serially evaluated for quantitative analysis of ADC-derived lesion characteristics. Successful MCA territorial infarction was induced in nine rats (9/19, 47.4%). In quantitative analysis of ADC-derived lesion characteristics, lesion volumes of seven rats (group 1) were very similar, but larger than those of the other two rats (group 2): % HLV of initial MRI = 45.4 ± 2.5 / 19.1 ± 6.6. rADCs and rDWIs of group 1 showed similar patterns of temporal change, which was different from those of group 2. Using prospective diffusion MRI after MCAO in rats, we identified territorial hyperacute ischemic lesions with similar MRI characteristics. This observation would contribute to the establishment of more homogenous rodent models for ischemic stroke translational research.
Cerebral microbleeds: Spatial distribution implications
Authors: Loehrer Elizabeth , Vernooij Meike , Ikram M.
Published: June 2014

Cerebral microbleeds are considered an imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease. The location of microbleeds is thought to reflect the underlying pathology. Microbleeds in the deep and infratentorial region are thought to reflect hypertensive arteriopathy whereas lobar microbleeds are associated clinically with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Aside from patient populations, microbleeds are frequently observed in seemingly asymptomatic populations. Moreover, many elderly, both in clinical and preclinical populations, have multiple coexisting pathologies in their brains, which complicates the interpretation of cerebral microbleeds, especially early in the clinical course. In this commentary, we discuss the influence of the strongest genetic risk factor for CAA, Apolipoprotein E (APOE), in the spatial distribution of microbleeds, and we additionally address issues in interpretation and implication of the location of microbleeds in clinical and asymptomatic populations.
Development of a theoretically-derived human anxiety syndrome biomarker
Authors: McNaughton Neil
Published: June 2014

“Anxiety disorders” are extremely common; and are a major source of health costs and lost work days. Their diagnosis is currently based on clinical symptom check lists and there are no biological markers to diagnose specific syndromal causes. This paper describes: 1) a detailed theory of the brain systems controlling anxiolytic-insensitive threat-avoidance and anxiolytic-sensitive threat-approach — where, in specific brain structures, activity generates specific normal behaviours, hyperactivity generates abnormal behaviours, and hyper-reactivity (hypersensitivity to input) generates specific clinical syndromes; 2) a rodent model of systemic anxiolytic action (rhythmical slow activity), linked to the theory, that over a period of 40 years has shown predictive validity with no false positives or false negatives — and which is likely to assay the sensitivity of endogenous systems that control anxiety; and, 3) derivation from this rodent-based theory of a specific non-invasive biomarker (goal-conflict-specific rhythmicity) for the threat-approach system in humans. This new biomarker should allow division of untreated “anxiety” patients, with superficially similar clusters of symptoms, into distinct high scoring (syndromal) and low scoring groups with different treatment-responses. This would be the first theoretically-derived biomarker for any mental disorder and should: 1) predict treatment efficacy better than current symptom-based diagnoses; 2) provide a human single dose test of novel anxiolytics; 3) provide a starting point for developing biomarkers for other “anxiety” syndromes; and so, 4) greatly improve treatment outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

Fetal hepatocytes have a high regenerative capacity. The aim of the study was to assess treatment safety and clinical efficacy of human fetal liver cell transplantation through splenic artery infusion. Patients with endstage chronic liver disease on the waiting list for liver transplantation were enrolled. A retrospectively selected contemporary matched-pair group served as control. Nonsorted raw fetal liver cell preparations were isolated from therapeutically aborted fetuses. The end points of the study were safety and improvement of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and Child-Pugh scores. Nine patients received a total of 13 intrasplenic infusions and were compared with 16 patients on standard therapy. There were no side effects related to the infusion procedure. At the end of follow-up, the MELD score (mean ± SD) in the treatment group remained stable from baseline (16.0 ± 2.9) to the last observation (15.7 ± 3.8), while it increased in the control group from 15.3 ± 2.5 to 19 ± 5.7 ( p = 0.0437). The Child-Pugh score (mean ± SD) dropped from 10.1 ± 1.5 to 9.1 ± 1.4 in the treatment group and increased from 10.0 ± 1.2 to 11.1 ± 1.6 in the control group ( p = 0.0076). All treated patients with history of recurrent portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) had no further episodes during 1-year follow-up. No improvement was observed in the control group patients with PSE at study inclusion. Treatment was considered a failure in six of the nine patients (three deaths not liver related, one liver transplant, two MELD score increases) compared with 14 of the 16 patients in the control group (six deaths, five of which were caused by liver failure, four liver transplants, and four MELD score increases). Intrasplenic fetal liver cell infusion is a safe and well-tolerated procedure in patients with end-stage chronic liver disease. A positive effect on clinical scores and on encephalopathy emerged from this preliminary study.
Therapeutic Implications of Newly Identified Stem Cell Populations from the Skin Dermis
Authors: Chen Zelin , Wang Yu , Shi Chunmeng
Published: June 2014

Skin, the largest organ of the body, is a promising reservoir for adult stem cells. The epidermal stem cells and hair follicle stem cells have been well studied for their important roles in homeostasis, regeneration, and repair of the epidermis and appendages for decades. However, stem cells residing in dermis were not identified until the year 2001, when a variety of stem cell subpopulations have been isolated and identified from the dermis of mammalian skin such as neural crest stem cells, mesenchymal stem cell-like dermal stem cells, and dermal hematopoietic cells. These stem cell subpopulations exhibited capabilities of self-renewing, multipotent differentiating, and immunosuppressive properties. Hence, the dermis-derived stem cells showed extensive potential applications in regenerative medicine, especially for wound healing/tissue repair, neural repair, and hematopoietic recovery. Here we summarized current research on the stem cell subpopulations derived from the dermis and aimed to provide a comprehensive review on their isolation, specific markers, differentiation capacity, and the functional activities in homeostasis, regeneration, and tissue repair.

Sorazmerno dobro so obdelane tematike kot na primer glasbeni tiski in rokopisi iz časa ljubljanskega knezoškofa Tomaža Hrena, skladateljsko delo Isaaca Poscha, Gabriella Pulitija in Janeza Krstnika Dolarja, precej vemo o glasbenih ostalinah koprske stolnice in Akademiji ljubljanskih filharmonikov. Malo pa vemo o glasbi v manjših, a pomembnih središčih na obrobju današnje Slovenije, na primer v Mariboru in na Ptuju. Slabo raziskano je tudi glasbeno življenje v okviru redovnih in drugih verskih skupnosti, popolnoma nič pa se ne ve o pridobivanju glasbenega znanja.
Utiliser des corpus numériques avec un public Lansad
Authors: Schaeffer-Lacroix Eva
Published: June 2014

Depuis les années 80, certains chercheurs défendent l'usage de corpus numériques pour soutenir l'enseignement-apprentissage des langues (Johns, 1991). Il est possible de rattacher leurs arguments à l'idée que le matériau linguistique à partir duquel on apprend une langue est un paramètre important. Les textes auxquels on confronte les apprenants ont tendance à être restreints du point de vue quantitatif. De plus, même s'ils sont numérisés, ils sont souvent présentés sous forme statique et ne peuvent donc pas facilement être manipulés. Il paraît judicieux de mettre à disposition des apprenants un volume important de données textuelles pouvant être parcourues de façon ciblée. Cette possibilité est offerte par les corpus numériques, c'est-à-dire, des collections de textes explorables en ligne. Ce texte vise à faire connaître quelques éléments essentiels, conceptuels et techniques, liés à l'utilisation de telles ressources pour des besoins d'enseignement-apprentissage d'une langue étrangère avec un public de non-spécialistes. Il présente les gestes susceptibles de soutenir la création, la numérisation et l'exploration d'un corpus. La langue illustrant les propos est l'allemand et accessoirement l'anglais.
Entre o exótico e o político : caraterísticas da recepção e tradução de Jorge Amado na Alemanha
Authors: Vejmelka Marcel
Published: June 2014

Até a década de 1990, Jorge Amado era o escritor brasileiro mais conhecido e influente na Alemanha. Hoje, a sua posição mudou consideravelmente. Tendo em vista o destaque do Brasil na Feira do Livro de Frankfurt em 2013, é um momento adequado para uma revisão crítica das caraterísticas centrais da recepção alemã do escritor baiano, do seu início nos anos 50 até o presente. Algumas das perguntas fundamentais são : como funcionou a síntese entre o escritor político da juventude e o « contador de histórias » da obra tardia ? Ou havia, ao contrário, dois « Jorge Amados » na percepção alemã ? Como se relacionam, na perspectiva alemã, o exotismo e a escrita engajada, o regional e o universal – dimensões nem sempre claramente delimitadas na obra amadiana ?

Jorge Amado, na Hora da Guerra, –crônicas publicadas em O Imparcial, de Salvador-Bahia, entre dezembro de 1942 e outubro de 1944–, mostra uma visão político-partidária da Segunda Grande Guerra, preocupando-se em refletir sobre os efeitos do Acordo de Munique, de 1938, quando a França esteve presente, com a exclusão da União Soviética das consultas e o apoio às pretensões hitleristas de expansão ; várias personalidades e acontecimentos franceses são mostrados, com citações que ultrapassam duas centenas ; nomes como Philippe Pétain, Pierre Laval, Charles de Gaulle, Henri Giraud, Edouard Daladier, François Darlan e outros ajudam a surgir um perfil da época e do governo de Vichy ; em contraponto, aparecem vultos históricos tradicionais, próximos da Revolução Francesa, como Napoleão Bonaparte, Jean-Paul Marat, Maria Antonieta, Charlotte Corday, Marquês de La Fayette, Robespierre, etc. que ajudam a marcar as diversidades do momento vivido ; na literatura, entre muitos, são citados André Gide, André Maurois, Georges Bernanos, Romain Rolland, para clarificar o quanto o nazifascismo deteriorava as relações da arte e da cultura com o poder ; Amado não esquece, apesar do momento belicoso e das definições imprecisas e delicadas, da influência da nação gaulesa na jovem pátria brasileira e de sua admiração pelos intelectuais.
Os « capitães da areia » de Jorge Amado : histórias de vida na cidade da Bahia
Authors: Pacheco de Andrade Celeste Maria
Published: June 2014

Jorge Amado, ao longo de sua obra literária deu voz a muitos sujeitos considerados marginalizados. Em Capitães da Areia, (1937), crianças e adolescentes, conhecidos na Cidade da Bahia – Salvador – como « capitães da areia », são, ao mesmo tempo, os personagens que dão título à narrativa e atores sociais, cujas histórias expõem uma problemática social, a infância abandonada e delinquente na capital baiana. Estruturado em três partes, o romance transita entre o realismo da crítica social e os elementos romanescos e melodramáticos. A primeira « Sob a lua, num velho trapiche abandonado » apresenta o perfil de alguns dos capitães através de histórias quase independentes, mas entrecruzadas. A « Noite da grande paz dos teus olhos », narra o amor de Pedro Bala, um dos líderes, por Dora, única "capitã da areia". Finalmente, em « Canção da Bahia, canção da liberdade » é definido o destino dos personagens. Analisamos a narrativa na perspectiva da História Social, tendo histórias de vida como importante fonte documental. O significado de Capitães da Areia para a trajetória de militante do escritor reside em evidenciar conflitos entre ricos e pobres e entre fracos e fortes, emergindo daí, uma narrativa que denuncia uma sociedade opressora da Bahia da primeira metade do século passado.
A dimensão da ética intercultural na obra de Jorge Amado
Authors: Olivieri-Godet Rita
Published: June 2014

Este ensaio propõe uma leitura da obra de Jorge Amado que se contrapõe à visão polarizada característica de determinados enfoques críticos. Para fazê-lo, fundamenta-se na dimensão da « ética intercultural » como elemento norteador do percurso do autor, responsável pela impressão de diretrizes que evoluem no sentido da ampliação da perspectiva dialógica, compondo uma obra cada vez mais aberta a uma lógica plural, à representação da heterogeneidade e do cruzamento de culturas.
O Brasil africano de Jorge Amado : territórios, cartografias & fotografias
Authors: Sanzio Araújo dos Anjos Rafael
Published: June 2014

Uma das questões estruturais relacionada à cultura africana no Brasil que continua merecendo investigação e conhecimento, está relacionada aos aspectos historiográficos e geográficos da formação e distribuição da população de ancestralidade na África do território brasileiro. O paper resgata as principais referências geográficas e cartografias presentes nas obras do escritor Jorge Amado e utilizamos como espaços de investigação, nesta oportunidade, as representações espaciais do Estado da Bahia, particularmente as da cidade de São Salvador de Bahia ou Cidade da Bahia, com os seus espaços marcantes nas suas obras como : o Pelourinho, o morro do Capa-Negro, o Cais de Salvador, Itapuã, Amaralina, Pituba, Farol da Barra, o morro da Igreja do Bonfim, Peripiri, dentre outras partes deste conjunto urbano, marcado pelas referências africanas. Usamos como ferramenta básica de trabalho, os recursos das imagens cartográficas e fotográficas, pelas suas possibilidades de ser eficiente no conhecimento e na apreensão de conteúdos historiográficos e contemporâneos. O estudo identificou que sem a « Geografia da Cidade da Bahia » a literatura de Jorge Amado jamais seria a mesma, ou seja, o território da cidade de Salvador, marcado fortemente, na primeira metade do século XX, por uma identidade africana bem definida no cotidiano urbano, mesmo no contexto de exclusão sócio espacial e do preconceito secular do sistema escravocrata.
Parcours amadiens en Belgique francophone

Cette étude analyse d’une part la réception critique de l’œuvre de Jorge Amado en Belgique francophone dans la presse de gauche (Drapeau rouge et Les Aubes) ainsi que dans les journaux « grand public » (Le Soir et La Libre Belgique). D’autre part, elle pose la question de la réception créatrice dans l’œuvre de certains écrivains proches de la mouvance communiste (David Scheinert ou Charles Paron), comme d’écrivains contemporains (Malika Madi ou Jean-Louis Lippert).
Ficción y crónica anarcobarroca en Impuesto a la carne (2010) de Diamela Eltit
Authors: Pino Mirian
Published: June 2014

El objetivo de este estudio es problematizar la relación entre la literatura chilena y el contexto histórico social en la cual se inserta. Así, he seleccionado la novela de Diamela Eltit, Impuesto a la carne en la cual su proyecto estético interpela a la historia chilena en las vísperas del Bicentanario del 2010. Identidad nacional, mito de lo nacional y literatura son el blanco de la autora quien elige a personajes mujeres para interpelar los tres relatos antes citados. Esta dimensión implica un modo de hacer historia ; para ello la poética neobarroca es la estrategia más palpable que evidencia la crisis de una cultura sometida al auge feroz del neoliberalismo.
Suor ou Ladeira do Pelourinho, nº 68 : uma poética da exclusão
Authors: Ribeiro Rodrigues da Cunha Betina
Published: June 2014

Suor é o terceiro livro de um, ainda jovem, Jorge Amado. Foi escrito em 1934, aos 22 anos do escritor. Entretanto, o romance já delineia temas, tipos sociais e preocupações que serão mote para toda uma produção literária, política e para a adesão à ideologia e princípios do comunismo. A narrativa é uma prosa fragmentada, que se assemelha a uma sucessão de temas e contos reunidos por um único endereço, Ladeira do Pelourinho, nº 68, sobrado com quartos subdivididos até o máximo da promuiscuidade, opressão e desumano respeito ao homem. Nesse cotidiano de miséria, de lixo, de suores, se mistura, fazendo valer - em uma voz polifônica , tipos excluídos em uma subcondição humana. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende observar como Amado, escrevendo sobre as coisas do homem e de seu universo real, ficticio e idealizado ( aos 16 anos, o escritor também morou em um dos sobrados da Ladeira), desenha também um espaço de interação no qual as trocas, as identidades fazem entender de representações mentais, de suas diferenças, de formas de conhecimento individuais e sociais.
A representação do imigrante árabe em A descoberta da América pelos turcos, de Jorge Amado
Authors: Garcia Mireille
Published: June 2014

Na literatura brasileira contemporânea, um número crescente de autores vem explorando a figura do imigrante, sua etnia e sua representação, « a margem » da ficção e da nação. Em A descoberta da América pelos turcos de Jorge Amado, os personagens de origem árabe deixam de ser deslocados e renegados ao estatuto de estranhos e estrangeiros para então ocupar o centro da narrativa. Este estudo se propõe a analisar a representação do imigrante árabe na obra citada, e a questionar os estereótipos retomados pelo autor, que « Oriente  » ele desconstrói e reconstrói e que lugar esses imigrantes ocupam. Trata-se também de entender como a questão da experiência do « Outro » e as figurações identitárias na obra criam um binarismo entre o pertencer e o não-pertencer e um território quase imaginário podendo ser qualificado de « entre-lugar ». Serão tomados como aporte teórico o conceito de orientalismo de Edward Said ; o conceito de estereótipos e representação da alteridade, por Homi Bhabha assim como o conceito de habitus de Pierre Bourdieu.
Being Mexican: Identity, Location, and Rosa Nissán (II)
Authors: Eli Gardner Nathanial
Published: June 2014

Being Mexican is the first book-length attempt to understand the narrative of the Mexican writer Rosa Nissán. Its focus are her first two novels, Novia que te vea and Hisho que te nazca, which are coming-of-age narratives in which the protagonist, Oshinica, attempts to understand her family and community as she grows up during the prosperious years of the Mexican Miracle and the changing society found in Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. After setting down the groundwork for this study in the first installment, these next two -included in this edition of Amerika- focus on different aspects of male and female identity. While Oshinica forges her identity she does so in several spaces, both public and private. These next two sections analize the public: education and work as well as the private spaces: the home and the sacred, with the purpose of identifying the forces that work to create an identity for the protagonist. The analysis reveals the tensions created as the protagonist tries to resolve the conflict between self and famiily, between the mainstream and the marginal, and between the traditional and the modern; asking important questions regarding how identity is formed and how the spaces one inhabits exercise control over their identity.

A invenção da memória e da identidade em O menino grapiúna e Terras do Sem Fim
Authors: Reis Mírian Sumica Carneiro
Published: June 2014

Published with a forty-year gap between them, The Violent lands (1942) and The Grapiuna Boy (1981), by Jorge Amado, create links between the representations of a fictional setting about a Brazilian cocoa producer, with their characters (colonel, prostitutes, gunmen, explored agriculturalists) and the writer’s memories: a boy born and raised in the south of Bahia and inserted in its geographical, historical and cultural scenario. In this work, we analyzed how memory and fiction are intertwined in these two Amado’s books. We discuss notions of biography and autobiography, fiction and portraits of reality, in the process of inventing and representing identities which not only concerning historical reports, but they also build different strategies to witness history.

Authors: Gomes André Luís
Published: June 2014

The year 2014 reminds us the 50th anniversary of the military coup. Through the history of theatre and dramaturgical texts we know that socio-political process also began the twenty year the military dictatorship in Brazil. This period is also often famously linked to notions of repression, censorship, torture and exile of artists and intellectual people. In this paper we shall analyse three crucial events within Brazilian society, described in the following plays: “O filho cão” by Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, “O assalto” by José Vicente, and “Murro em ponta de faca” by Augusto Boal, written or staged in 1964, 1968 and 1978. The objective of our analysis is to recover a part of this period in the history of Brazil, so that history will not repeat itself.
Amado – Detrez, la fraternisation baroque ?
Authors: Quaghebeur Marc
Published: June 2014

Traducteur d’un des romans les plus longs de Jorge Amado, avant l’émergence de sa propre œuvre littéraire et après son expulsion du Brésil par la dictature militaire, Conrad Detrez (1937-1985) n’a jamais explicitement reconnu l’influence certes rebrassée de l’écrivain-phare de Salvador de Bahia. Le roman le moins autobiographique de Detrez, La Lutte finale (1980), en porte pourtant clairement la trace, comme il révèle en quoi l’héritage franco-francophone de l’écrivain belge l’amène à un type de narration différente de celle d’Amado.
Brasil, terra de erotismo, luz e vida (Jorge Amado na Espanha)
Authors: Maura Antonio
Published: June 2014

A aparição dos livros de Jorge Amado na Espanha coincidiu com o chamado boom latino-americano, que revelou os autores americanos mais importantes em língua espanhola. Por enquanto, o escritor brasileiro distingue-se logo dos outros autores do boom e seguiu seu próprio caminho, obtendo suas obras um grande número de leitores. Na verdade, durante as últimas décadas do século passado o cidadão espanhol identificara Brasil com a cidade de Salvador e o estado da Bahia, tal como foram descritos pelo autor de Gabriela, cravo e canela.

Authors: dos Santos Barbara
Published: June 2014

Le présent article propose une lecture critique des rapports interculturels existant entre les littératures angolaise et brésilienne. L'écrivain brésilien Jorge Amado fut une grande référence pour de nombreux écrivains lors d'une phase très importante de la formation de la littérature en Angola. Nous nous attacherons donc à mettre en exergue l'influence du Modernisme brésilien, et plus particulièrement du Régionalisme, dans les littératures d'Afrique lusophone, dans l'objectif de montrer l'importance de la réception de cet auteur dans le continent africain. Une comparaison plus minutieuse entre l'œuvre de José Luandino Vieira et Jorge Amado illustrera notre propos en deuxième partie de notre étude.
Traduzindo o Brazil : o país mestiço de Jorge Amado
Authors: D’ Amaro Blasques Tooge Marly
Published: June 2014

Jorge Amado, who entered the Guinness Book of Records as “the world's most translated author” in 1996, was also the first Brazilian to have his/her name in The New York Times best seller list. His first book translated into English was published in the USA by Alfred Knopf Publishers in 1945 under the auspices of the U.S. State Department, who sponsored a cultural interchange program as part of president Roosevelt’s the Good Neighbor Policy. Translated literature was seen, at the time, as a means to understand “the other”. Such trend became a pattern as of the beginning of the 20th Century. Érico Veríssimo, Gilberto Freyre, Alfred and Blanche Knopf, Samuel Putnam and Harriet de Onís were actors in this scenario. In spite of his support of the tenets of the political left, after leaving the Communist Party in the late 1950’s Jorge Amado became an American bestseller, a result of such « diplomatic » movement as well as of Alfred A. Knop’s translation project. Nevertheless, other influence networks also affected the author’s reception in the United States, which turned out to be quite different from that in the Eastern Europe, for instance. This paper draws on the relation between the aforementioned actors, such influence network and Brazil’s cultural representation in Jorge Amado’s translated literature in the United States. I intend to show, in this colloquium, a small part of this rich and long research on an outstanding chapter of this great author’s work.
