Authors: Shi Huoxue
Published: December 2016

CEUSRI (Cooperation of Enterprises, Universities and Scientific Research Institutions) is an important measure for the Chinese government to carry out the strategy of rejuvenating the Chinese nation through improvements in science and education. However, there are a series of obstacles unfavorable to this measure, of which lack of governmental support is the most important one. The present paper addresses this issue and describe strategies for persuading the government to support CEUSRI.
Aspects of Citizen-Public Seruices Relationships: The Case of Greece
Authors: Michalopoulos Nikos
Published: December 2016

A number of governments, falling along a range of political persuasions, are pursuing service quality initiatives. A focus on service quality is part of the general direction of public sector management reform. Quality policies are responsive to economic progress and social needs Although service quality is affected by many things, citizen-public service relationships arc fundamental. The social need for a modernized Greek public administration has been posed many times. Public policies seeking to reform public administration in Greece have been designed with a particular emphasis on the complex policy space of the relationships between state services and the citizens. Using the New Public Management as a theoretical framework, this paper examines critically how these relationships have been organized, Methodologically, the paper is based on the content anal) sis of relevant official reports, documents and administrative archives. The paper reveals that the discussion of this reform, the measures adopted and the reforms themselves are often recycled.
Establisghing the Criteria for Public Administration: An Evaluation of Chinese Government in the New Era
Authors: Zhang Guoqing
Published: December 2016

China has entered a new period in its history. In order to foster economic development and preserve a balanced development of society, it is imperative that the Chinese government execute the country's criteria of public administration as institutional administration, legal administration, democratic administration, efficient administration, regular administration, credit administration, civil administration, professional administration, developent administration, and so on.
Three paradigms of public administration: an analysis of the current status of public administration
Authors: Wang Bing
Published: December 2016

Historically, there have been three paradigs of public management, namely, the Machiavelli-Hobbes Paradign (MHP), the Wilson-Weber Paradigm (WWP), and the Ostron-Hayek Paradigm (OHP). These paradigms have different characteristics ad face different challenges. After more than 100 years of development throughout the western countries, the WWP has achived its utmost, having emerged as an obstacle to further development. Given this, Western coutries are now embracing the OHP, and the New Public Management is a reform that is fostrering this transformation. In China, however, the situation is very differnt. Due to the feudal traditions and the dominant governance ethod (rule by man, not by law), public administration in China contains several aspects of the MHP. Currently, China's most pressing challenge encompasses instituting reforms that will cultivate a public administrative system where the rule of law prevails. The change to bureaucracy and establishment of WWP is ultimately more critical than the New Public Management.
E-Government and public affairs education
Authors: Jennings Edward T.
Published: December 2016

This article examines three fundamental questions with respect to the place of e-govrement in graduate education for carrers in public service. First, where does e-government fit in the curriculum of graduate programs in public policy and administration? Second, might we expect the answer to this question to vary depending on the institutional home and type of public affairs degree? Third, should we expect programs to offer a required course on e-government or should we aim to integrate material on e-government throughout the curriculum? These questions are approached through standards developed for public affairs education in the United States, but they are examined in the context of international variations in governance, technology and education.The article first traces the development of e-government across the globe, summarizing important issues and considertation that government must answer as they pursue e-government initiatives. It then reviews standards that have been developed for public affairs education in the U.S. and turns to the question of how to incorporate e-govrnment in the curriculum.E-government involves much more than technological and information management questions. Thus, it has implications for the entire public affairs curriculum. It is unlikely that a single course can successfully covers technical, managerial, and policy dimenstions of e-government. For most programs, it will be more productive to explore e-government across a range of courses in the existing curriculum. The apporach that is taken is likely to be affected by institutional settings, resources, and faculty competencies. It is also likely to be shaped by the broader social, economic, and political environments in which programs operate. Although the stage of e-government development in the country is likely to make a difference, althogy we can also hope that our training will also shape e-government's development.
On governmental reform in China: Two suggestions from Japanese experiences
Authors: Mao Guirong
Published: December 2016

This paper explores the, as yet unresolved, crucial question of how best to conduct reforms aimed at controlling government size and improing relations between central and local governments. It suggests two ideas widely promoted and practiced in Japan, the ceiling control system and the fusion system of central-local relations. I argue that China could set up a ceiling control system to fix the total number of governmental departments and commissions and the maximum number of staff, and establish an institutioalized "fusion system" to promote decentralization. The paper demonstrates how these can be implemented to revise current reform practices.
MPA Programs in Australia
Authors: Hughes Owen E.
Published: December 2016

Australian universities have established specific Masters programs for public servants over the past twenty years. However, until recently, despite being established, they have not thrived by comparison with MBA and other masters courses in business. It was not easy to attract students and good staff. MPA programs have generally not captured the public sector community’s attention in the same way as is the case in a number of US schools of public administration or management. This situation changed in 2003 with the creation of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG). This is a consortium of five governments - the Commonwealth government, the New Zealand government, and the three largest state governments - and nine universities set up to provide an Executive Masters in Public Administration. The ANZSOG cohort is composed of future leaders in the opinion of their governments. All students are fully funded by their governments and at a level that is more costly per student than other training. Funding of this scale reflects a major change for governments in Australia.The establishment of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government represents a major change in education of public managers in Australia. There are lessons for other countries in its establishment.
Good Governance for Poverty Alleviation: the Case of Malaysia
Authors: Siwar Chamhuri
Published: December 2016

This paper addresses the issue of good governance for poverty alleviation, citing Malaysia as a case study. Malaysia has experienced sustainable growth along with impressive record of poverty reduction. This has been made possible through good governance and pragmatic pro-growth and distribution policies, strategies and programs for poverty alleviation which was implemented since the era of the New Economic Policy (NEP, 1971-1990), National Development Plan (1991-2000) and will be carried over to National Vision Plan (NVP, 2001-2010). The good governance incorporates an enabling policy framework for poverty alleviation which includes the supportive role of the state, effective delivery system embodying an efficient planning and implementation machinery, incorporating top-down and bottom-up processes of strategic planning, targeting and participation, effective implementation coordination, monitoring and evaluation. The public sector has to shoulder good governance by efforts to improve the public service delivery system to make it more efficient, transparent and accountable. Direct targeting of beneficiaries results from identification of the poor and hardcore poor by rural and urban strata and states, supported by a specialized delivery system of a microcredit program, minimizes leakages of poverty alleviation program’s allocations and benefits. Pragmatic pro-growth and distribution policies and strategies in 5-year development plans ensures effective poverty alleviation.
E-Governance for Poverty Alleviation: Indian Cases and Prospects for Poverty Alleviation in Uttar Pradesh
Authors: Pathak R. D. , Sharma Vinay , Husain Zafar , Gupta Nidhi , Smith RFI
Published: December 2016

This paper argues that initiatives in e-governance can accelerate economic development and increase empowerment of individual citizens. Initiatives in e-governance can do so by helping to bring about good governance. More inclusive governance stimulated by e-governance can help overcome massive global problems of poverty alleviation. The paper discusses the impact of specific initiatives in e-governance and how they might help address poverty alleviation in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) in India. Uttar Pradesh has approximately 8 percent of the world's poor population. Eighty percent of poor households in UP live in rural areas. The paper draws lessons from the customized usage of e-governance, in particular, e-choupals (in Hindi choupal means village square or rural meeting place). It argues that such initiatives can: a) Fill gaps in access to communications infrastructure; b) Enable poor people to help themselves; and c) Help re-motivate officials responsible for implementing measures to alleviate poverty. The paper presents a thematic sequence of steps and stages for incorporating e-governance as a mode of operation. The sequence is open to customization as and when required. Expected issues and constraints facing initiatives in e-governance are also outlined.
Effective Public Service Delivery: Governance to "E-Governance in India"
Authors: Assadi Muzaffar
Published: December 2016

The issues of governance which received much focus during the decade of 1990s, has further expanded with the inclusion of “e-governance”- the latter has enhanced service delivery, enlarged participation and made the democracy more inclusive. India is not an exception to e- governance initiatives which is apparent in the Declaration of year 2001 as “Year of E-Governance”, earmarking two to three percent of plan budget towards e-governance etc. Crisis of governability, catching up with developed world and current trend towards globalization has made India to implement egovernance. There is no uniformity in the application of e-governance in different states or provinces in India. Some states still are in the “preliminary stage” others in “catching up” stage. Only ten states have made serious efforts. Its success rates are not uniform- it varies between partial success to complete failure, including the fact that there are criticisms leveled against it for the reasons that it is “urban biased”, “one way process” and that it would reduce the importance of bureaucracy, politicians. Despite the weakness one should appreciate the fact that it has reduced the cultural and geographical barriers, shifted the paradigm of “space” and helping in completing the project of incomplete modernity. However what is needed to strengthen e-governance is not only by clubbing Cafeteria and Phase model but also the success stories from other countries.
Reflections on New Public Management-Style Reform in the U.S. National Administration and Public Trust in Government
Authors: Rosenbloom David , Piotrowski Suzanne
Published: December 2016

A concerted effort to introduce thoroughgoing reforms into U.S. national administration began in September 1993, when the Clinton-Gore administration issued the first report of the National Performance Review (NPR). The continuing reform effort, which is generally called “reinventing government” in the United States, shares many characteristics with the broader global New Public Management (NPM) movement and is often treated as part of it. The American NPM-style reform program was augmented by congressional attempts to make national agencies more performance-oriented. President George W. Bush, who took office in January 2001, continued to advance several NPM goals, though with some important differences. There is no parallel period of such fundamental, comprehensive, and concentrated administrative reform in American history. The reform agenda has been coherent and consistent enough to allow reflection on its efficacy in terms of its own objectives. These were: 1) making government work better and cost less and 2) building citizens' trust in it. We made two conclusions within this paper. First, the record of the NPM's achievement of greater cost-effectiveness is ambiguous, disputing the Clinton-Gore administration's central claims; the public as a whole perceives no reduction in the waste of its tax dollars. Second, the NPM fell far short of building significantly greater trust in government.
Successful Earthquake Mitigation in Qinglong County during the Great Tangshan Earthquake: Lessons for Hurricane Katrina in the United States
Authors: Col Jeanne-Marie
Published: December 2016

More than 246,000 people were killed in the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake. In Qinglong County, despite the collapse of 180,000 buildings, no deaths were attributable to the earthquake and its aftershocks. The case of Qinglong County illustrates excellent coordination among public administrators, scientists and citizens and features pro-active policies, local government initiative, thorough implementation, delegation, information sharing, and citizen participation. These lessons are applied to the response to Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005.
Productivity Changes in the Chinese Provincial Governments
Authors: Yang Guangqiong
Published: December 2016

This paper applies a Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) method to the measurements and evaluations of Chinese provincial governmental productivity. It defines operationally the inputs and outputs of the government and governmental productivity in terms of eight indicators, and calculates the changes in governmental productivity with the DEA method for the period of 1985 to 2003. It decomposes the total factor productivity (TFP) into efficient changes and technical changes, and illustrates the characteristics of the changes in governmental productivity from periods to periods, and analyzes theoretically the characteristic patterns. It compares the differences in changes of governmental productivity among the different regions. In the processes of analysis, we emphasize the effects of administrative and economic reforms on governmental productivity, and the relationship between governmental productivity and administrative and economic reforms.
Monitoring the Growth of Chinese Public Administration Knowledge: Evidence from Chinese Public Administration Journals
Authors: Lu Lucia Q
Published: December 2016

Empirical research involving content analysis of Chinese journal articles has been conducted in the last few years, but the focus has been on the issues and problems of Chinese public administration as a basic social science rather than an applied field. This narrow focus can be misleading. The need to reassess the quality of Chinese PA research is based on three presumptions: that it is a basic science, an applied science, and both. This study attempts to complete the monitoring of progress in knowledge advancement by assessing quality based on an analysis framework that includes an assessment of applied research reports published in Chinese PA journals. The population of articles analyzed comprises 1,123 papers published in Chinese Public Administration (CPA) from 2002 to 2006; further, 300 articles published in 16 journals from 1998 to 2006 were analyzed in the pilot study (but not included here). Specific findings are presented here, in addition to the two principal conclusions: Theorybuilding and knowledge advancement in Chinese PA have been rather problematic, but many studies reported in CPA, when classified as applied research, are valuable, in spite of the defects and shortcomings identified. This article also discusses implications for future research and the development of Chinese PA as a field of study.
Rereading Central-local Relations in China: the Fundamentals and Premise?
Authors: Jiang Shi-wei
Published: December 2016

Scholars both Chinese and foreign were, are, and will be studying central-local relations in China, but China still functions with problems. This paper reviews central-local relations in China and reveals that scholars have mistakenly named “central-local relations” when the proper classification is political and economic. Meanwhile, this paper shows that relations between the center and localities function like federalism with regard to the economy yet as a unitary state politicically. So, scholars study political and economic relations separately, and there will be two types of measures for central-local relations. Since the birth of the People’s Republic of China, scholars have sought to make central-local relations in China function well,, but this goal is an uphill climb in a country with many difficulties. Thus, researching this theme never stops. In the long history of research, there are two different periods to discern, one is before the time of informing and opening China, the other is after. Consequently, research gathered at each time are different. However, the problem is that both cannot have given effective measures making central-local relations working well. Therefore, scholars must rethink and re-realize the research to discover the problems inherent in the research and how to resolve and avoid it. This paper tells us several important things:1.What are central-local relations in China? This basic question was unfortunately ignored by many scholars, especially after reforming and opening. This paper reinterprets what comprises central-local relations in China and identifies its qualities for the reader.2.What is the situation of researching central-local relations in China? There are two main and different perspectives researching this theme: “local” and “overseas.” Scholars of the local school clearly realized differences between China and western countries and tired to find a countermeasure. Conversely. scholars of the overseas school pointed out that we must have learned from the federalism-oriented western countries of federalism. the local nor overseas perspectives are completely correct. The key is which can interpret and solve problems of central-local relations in China.3.What are measures for us? For us, giving measures is much more important than just defining problems.Thus, we must seek new research methods that are suitable for actuality of China.
Public Participation in Government Performance Measurement in China: A Critical Review and Prospects
Authors: Zhou Zhiren
Published: December 2016

This paper provides a historical review and critical evaluation of government performance measurement in China in the past 20 years from the perspective of public participation. The first section focuses on theoretical discussion in an attempt to construct a proper conceptual and analytical framework for the review and assessment. The second section gives account to the practice until the end of the last century under the title of “government domination and no citizen participation.” The third section describes the progresses made in recent years and its driving forces. And the last section starts with a critical assessment of the current situation, followed by some prospects on the practice in the foreseeable future. The conclusion is that enhancing public participation in government performance measurement in China is far beyond the reach of instrumental rationality, it requires systematic and fundamental reforms of the political systems.

Minimal Change Disease
Authors: Vivarelli Marina , Massella Laura , Ruggiero Barbara , Emma Francesco
Published: December 2016

Minimal change disease (MCD) is a major cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS), characterized by intense proteinuria leading to edema and intravascular volume depletion. In adults, it accounts for approximately 15% of patients with idiopathic NS, reaching a much higher percentage at younger ages, up to 70%–90% in children >1 year of age. In the pediatric setting, a renal biopsy is usually not performed if presentation is typical and the patient responds to therapy with oral prednisone at conventional doses. Therefore, in this setting steroid-sensitive NS can be considered synonymous with MCD. The pathologic hallmark of disease is absence of visible alterations by light microscopy and effacement of foot processes by electron microscopy. Although the cause is unknown and it is likely that different subgroups of disease recognize a different pathogenesis, immunologic dysregulation and modifications of the podocyte are thought to synergize in altering the integrity of the glomerular basement membrane and therefore determining proteinuria. The mainstay of therapy is prednisone, but steroid-sensitive forms frequently relapse and this leads to a percentage of patients requiring second-line steroid-sparing immunosuppression. The outcome is variable, but forms of MCD that respond to steroids usually do not lead to chronic renal damage, whereas forms that are unresponsive to steroids may subsequently reveal themselves as FSGS. However, in a substantial number of patients the disease is recurrent and requires long-term immunosuppression, with significant morbidity because of side effects. Recent therapeutic advances, such as the use of anti-CD20 antibodies, have provided long-term remission off-therapy and suggest new hypotheses for disease pathogenesis.
Trait Affect and Individual Creativity: Moderating Roles of Affective Climate and Reflexivity
Authors: Kim Moon Joung , Choi Jin Nam , Lee Kyungmook
Published: December 2016

We extended the literature on mood and creativity by introducing a multilevel perspective to examine the trait affect of employees. More specifically, we identified group affective climate and group reflexivity as significant moderators of the relationship between trait affect and creativity.
Multilevel analyses of data obtained from 306 employees in 50 organizational teams revealed that group affective climate and group reflexivity facilitated the creativity of those employees with positive trait affect. A positive affective climate had significant direct and interactive effects
with positive trait affect in relation to predicting individual creativity. Further, group reflexivity significantly moderated the relationship between positive trait affect and creativity. By identifying and examining these contextual moderators, we have highlighted the context-dependent
nature of the affect–creativity relationship. Our findings offer new theoretical insights into the critical role of group context in shaping the effect of trait affect on mood and creativity.
Effects of Academic Emotions on Achievement Among Mainland Chinese Students: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Lei Hao , Cui Yunhuo
Published: December 2016

We undertook a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between academic emotions (comprising positive high-arousal [PHA], positive low-arousal [PLA], negative high-arousal [NHA], and negative low-arousal [NLA] emotions) and academic performance among mainland Chinese students, and
analyzed the moderating effects of regional location, age, achievement domain match, and gender on these associations. Included in the research were 35 primary studies with 17,548 participants. Results of the meta-analysis showed overwhelming support for the positive correlations between PHA,
PLA, and academic achievement (rPHA = .312, rPLA = .376), and negative correlations between NHA, NLA, and academic achievement (rNHA = -.179, rNLA = -.371). Furthermore, moderation analyses suggested that these effects
were influenced by regional location, age, achievement domain match, and gender. Practical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.
When Does Empowering Leadership Enhance Employee Creativity? A Three-way Interaction Test
Authors: Byun Gukdo , Dai Ye , Lee Soojin , Kang Seung-Wan
Published: December 2016

We proposed a 3-way interaction between empowering leadership, intrinsic motivation, and task visibility to predict employee creativity. Participants were 224 employee–leader dyads working in South Korean firms. Results showed that in situations of high task visibility, empowering
leadership related more positively to creativity for employees with low rather than high motivation. In contrast, in situations low in task visibility, empowering leadership related more positively to creativity for employees with high rather than low motivation. Thus, our results confirmed
the importance of the 3 factors for enhancing employee creativity.
Um olhar sobre os usuários de medicamentos psicoativos acompanhados na Atenção Primária em Saúde em Maringá - Paraná
Authors: Yoneyama Beatriz Capparros , Esteves Roberto Zonato , Maruiti Andréia Medeiros Pires
Published: December 2016

As Equipes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) atuam em um grupo de pacientes que utilizam continuamente substâncias psicoativas. Muitos deles utilizam outros medicamentos e estão expostos a interações medicamentosas e reações adversas decorrentes do uso combinado dos mesmos e não seguem as prescrições corretamente.Este trabalho estudou o perfil dos participantes desse grupo e verificou como as ações em promoção à saúde ajudam no seguimento correto do tratamento prescrito a esses pacientes. Foram entrevistados 63 pacientes que utilizam medicação controlada e que participaram das reuniões de grupo desde setembro a dezembro de 2011. A análise das entrevistas traçou um perfil dos usuários e revelou a inconsistência dos dados dos prontuários e o alto uso de benzodiazepínicos, em especial nos idosos.É necessário, portanto, melhorar a formação dos profissionais envolvidos no atendimento aos usuários de substâncias psicoativas, em particular quanto ao preenchimento dos prontuários e a farmacoterapia.
Integração ensino-serviço e políticas de educação profissional em saúde: projeto larga escala e educação permanente em saúde.
Authors: Miranda Rodrigues Tereza
Published: December 2016

No âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde, criado num contexto de transformações e reformas nas políticas sociais brasileiras, uma das preocupações é a formulação de políticas educacionais para trabalhadores do setor coerente com esse sistema. Duas importantes políticas de educação profissional em saúde, o Projeto Larga Escala e a Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde são exemplos de respostas à essa preocupação. Para este estudo a Análise Documental constituiu o percurso metodológico, com a Resolução CIPLAN nº 15 de 11 de novembro de 1985 e a Portaria nº 198/GM/MS, de 13 de fevereiro de 2004. Implantadas em momentos diferentes pelo Ministério da Saúde as duas políticas apresentam em comum o conceito da integração ensino-serviço como substrato ao processo de organização do sistema de saúde brasileiro. A presença do conceito revela a importância da sintonia entre formação e serviço, aspecto sempre em destaque no campo da saúde.
Fatores que influenciam ações educativas sobre câncer de mama na estratégia de saúde da família
Authors: Mattos Magda De , Da Silva Káren Lohane , Kölln Wendy Moura
Published: December 2016

Este trabalho objetiva identificar fatores que influenciam nas atividades desenvolvidas pelo enfermeiro na educação em saúde, visando promoção à saúde e prevenção do câncer de mama. Estudo descritivo, qualitativo, desenvolvido com oito enfermeiros atuantes na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em um município da região Sul do Estado de Mato Grosso. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, no período de agosto a outubro de 2012. Na interpretação dos dados, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo. Emergiram duas categorias, fatores que influenciam na adesão da população feminina às atividades de educação em saúde que compreenderam o conhecimento acerca do câncer de mama, acolhimento e vínculo e estrutura física da unidade. A segunda categoria, aspectos que dificultam as atividades do enfermeiro, envolveram os aspectos culturais, burocratização do sistema e desmotivação dos enfermeiros. Conclui-se que diante da importância do enfermeiro nas ações educativas na ESF é indispensável que este profissional tenha condições adequadas de trabalho, no que diz respeito ao conhecimento técnico e científico, condições materiais e estrutura física adequada para realização dessas ações.
Promoção da saúde na alimentação escolar: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Lazarotto Karine , Paz Arruda Teo Carla Rosane
Published: December 2016

O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar como a promoção da saúde no ambiente escolar em sua relação com a alimentação tem sido abordada pela literatura científica brasileira da última década. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, em que foram analisados 20 artigos publicados entre 2004 e 2014. Os principais resultados indicam 19 estudos de intervenção e um estudo observacional. Em sua maioria os estudos apresentaram como sujeitos de pesquisa os escolares e, de forma menos prevalente, professores e merendeiras; entre os temas abordados estão o consumo alimentar e os hábitos alimentares saudáveis e, em menor proporção, a segurança alimentar e nutricional e o direito humano à alimentação adequada. Conclui-se que as ações de promoção da saúde no ambiente escolar acontecem de forma isolada e apresentam resultados positivos na formação dos hábitos das crianças. Um ponto crítico encontrado foi que a comunidade escolar e as famílias nem sempre participam desse processo.

O artigo analisa os conceitos de moldura e janela para evidenciar os processos metafóricos de emolduração no cinema e nas mídias digitais e os mecanismos que regulam a produção e o consumo imagético na contemporaneidade. Das particularidades perspectivistas dos aparatos tecnológicos que compõem o cinema e as mídias digitais às diferentes percepções da moldura em ambos, são abordadas as relações entre a moldura e a narrativa como uma função cultural, conectada às características do dispositivo, mas também fruto das novas formas de agenciamento e identificação, verificando-se as facetas empregadas no desejo de atingir e representar o real.
Afinal, o que é “cine imperfecto”? Uma análise das ideias de García Espinosa
Authors: Núñez Fabián
Published: December 2016

O presente trabalho busca esmiuçar as ideias do cineasta e ensaísta cubano Julio Gar- cía Espinosa. Desse modo, propomos ler a sua obra teórica para além de seu célebre manifesto “Por un cine imperfecto”. Cremos que uma análise de seus textos imediata- mente posteriores ao manifesto – pouco estudados – nos auxilia em uma maior com- preensão de suas ideias, inclusive do seu famoso conceito “cine imperfecto”. Assim, nos propomos a esclarecer esse termo, fugindo da leitura tradicional do artigo “Por un cine imperfecto”, que o isola dos textos posteriores do autor.
Era uma vez... a revolução: a trajetória de Sergio Leone nas páginas da Cahiers du Cinéma
Authors: Carreiro Rodrigo
Published: December 2016

A maior parte dos críticos cinematográficos dos anos 1960-70 minimizou ou despre- zou o valor estético dos filmes vinculados ao ciclo de spaghetti westerns, produzidos naquela época no eixo Itália-Espanha. No entanto, Sergio Leone, principal cineasta a emergir do ciclo, rompeu essa barreira ao longo dos anos e se tornou um diretor respeitado pela crítica. Mapear como ocorreu essa trajetória e avaliar os motivos que levaram a essa mudança no estatuto de valor associado ao trabalho de Leone são os objetivos deste artigo, que toma como estudo de caso a coleção de todos os textos sobre os filmes do diretor publicados, a partir de 1964, na revista Cahiers du Cinéma, referência obrigatória na crítica cinematográfica internacional.

Este estudio analiza la adaptación de la novela de Octave Mirbeau, Le journal d’une femme de chambre, a manos de Jean Renoir y Luis Buñuel. Se pueden apreciar semióticas de raigambre diversa, insertas en los ejes raigales de su propia obra artística. Al margen de los lenguajes diferentes que implican el cine y la literatura, se puede apreciar que el genio creador de los tres autores aporta una impronta particular que evidencia cambios en la narración: el ambiente creado en torno al discurso, el tono utilizado, la definición de los personajes y los tres finales distintos vienen determinados por tres fuerzas artísticas que produjeron tres producciones culturales originales y diferenciadas.

A mise-en-scène do documentário: Eduardo Coutinho e João Salles
Authors: Ramos Fernão Pessoa
Published: December 2016

Neste ensaio abordaremos dois documentários recentes dos diretores brasileiros João Salles (Santiago) e Eduardo Coutinho (Jogo de Cena). Para analisá-los, buscamos desenvolver análise, com inspiração de metodologia fenomenológica, colocando ênfase na relação entre o sujeito que sustenta a câmera na tomada e o mundo que a ele se oferece, abrindo-se pelo seu corpo (sujeito-da-câmera) ao espectador. Denominamos de encenação essa relação entre o mundo (com pessoas agindo e coisas) e o sujeito que encarna a máquina câmera. A mise-en-scène designa o modo pelo qual a encenação é disposta na tomada, levando-se em conta os diversos aspectos materiais que compõe a cena e sua futura disposição narrativa (em planos). Olhando para história do documentário podemos notar duas variantes estruturais na ação das pessoas para o sujeito-da-câmera. Chamamos de encenação-construída, a ação ou expressão, preparada, de modo anterior, pelo sujeito-da-câmera. Chamamos de encenação-direta a ação para a câmera solta no mundo, ocorrendo sem uma flexibilização direta pelo sujeito-da-câmera. No caso de um primeiro plano de encenação direta, a indeterminação da ação é a própria fisionomia, conformando-se em afeto ou afecção. Em Jogo de Cena estão dispostas diversas modalidades de encenação que interagem entre si articulando-se em um corte desconstrutivo. Em Santiago duas modalidades históricas do encenar contrapõe-se, num movimento animado pela má-consciência.
Color in the Epic Film: Alexander and Hero1
Authors: Burgoyne Robert
Published: December 2016

A key feature of the epic genre since the appearance of the tinted and stenciled Italian epics of the 1910’s, color technology and design constitutes a direct line of formal innovation that extends from the earliest iterations of the epic film to the exalted color symphonies of the present. The significance of color in the epic, however, has largely been ignored. In this essay, I argue that color design complicates the traditional understanding of epic form as a conservative, nation-centric genre, governed by what Gilles Deleuze calls a critical-ethical horizon. The recent epics Alexander and Hero provide a case in point: in each film, color design articulates a range of messages that provide a new way of understanding these works, and that illuminate the use of color in the long history of the epic genre.2

Ética, estética e o cinema da crueldade
Authors: França Fagner Torres de
Published: December 2016

O objetivo do texto é problematizar a discussão sobre ética e estética suscitada por Pierre Bourdieu no livro A Distinção, acrescentando outros elementos de análise, como o maior desenvolvimento da indústria cultural e a emergência de valores pós-moralistas na esteira do capitalismo. A finalidade é analisar como ocorre a relação entre ética e estética no contexto das novas produções culturais hegemônicas, cujo alcance é cada vez mais amplo. Nesse sentido, o intuito é introduzir a ideia de Cinema da Crueldade, de André Bazin, sob o ponto de vista do conceito de Crueldade de Antonin Artaud, no âmbito do cinema, na tentativa de encontrar outro caminho para pensar a questão sobre as fronteiras entre ética e estética.
Equilíbrio e graça: Cinema “total” e gnosticismo no cinema de Carlos Reichenbach
Authors: Camarneiro Fabio
Published: December 2016

O texto é uma homenagem ao cineasta Carlos Reichenbach, falecido em junho de 2012, e tenta esboçar algumas categorias críticas a partir de seu curta Equilíbrio e graça, de 2002, para pensar a obra do diretor. Essas categorias estão ligadas ao gnosticismo e à ideia de um "cinema total".
O Épico Bíblico Hollywoodiano: O Espetáculo como estética da Salvação.
Authors: Vadico Luiz
Published: December 2016

Neste artigo tratamos do gênero Épico Bíblico Hollywoodiano. Não obstante ser um dos gêneros que contam com alguns dos filmes mais importantes da história de Hollywood, como Os Dez Mandamentos (DeMille), A maior História de Todos os Tempos (Stevens), e Ben-Hur (Wyller), a sua conceituação e pesquisas ainda permanecem num terreno inicial. Aqui se apresenta o gênero, suas características e história, ao mesmo tempo em que se faz uma discussão crítica da metodologia utilizada por autores como Jon Solomon e Babington & Evans na análise e constituição do corpus de filmes que o constituem. Discute-se a leitura que se fez da Bíblia como fonte dos filmes e como ponto de partida da análise por aqueles autores, bem como discute a divisão do gênero nos subtipos Velho Testamento, Filmes de Cristo, e Épicos Romano/Cristãos, realizada por Babington & Evans. Busca-se prioritariamente compreender a origem dos temas e assuntos que inspiraram essas produções, procurando desta forma avançar nas discussões relativas ao gênero.

Relatos fantasmas: os filmes históricos cinemanovistas e a política cultural da ditadura civil-militar nos anos 1970
Authors: Pinto Carlos Eduardo Pinto de
Published: December 2016

A proposta do artigo é refletir acerca das relações entre memória e história por meio do embate entre o Cinema Novo e a ditadura civil-militar nos anos 1970, período que corresponde à sistematização da política cultural dos governos militares. Entre as estratégias mobilizadas por esta, estava o incentivo à construção de uma cultura histórica pautada por leituras ufanistas do passado nacional, em que ganhava destaque a produção de filmes históricos. Como forma de aproximação do tema, aqui são abordadas duas obras: Os herdeiros (Cacá Diegues, 1969) e Coronel Delmiro Gouveia (Geraldo Sarno, 1977). Mesmo realizados em momentos distintos de tal política cultural, os filmes elaboram estratégias de resistência semelhantes. Em ambos, recorre-se à memória para se contrapor à história ufanista exortada pelos governos, ela mesma resultado de reelaborações da memória. Como é típico da cultura histórica – que abarca qualquer discurso sobre o passado, mesmo os produzidos fora do âmbito acadêmico –, é possível perceber, nos dois lados da disputa, a presença fantasmática da memória a assombrar a história.

Epidemic e a produção de afetos no cinema de Lars von Trier
Authors: Galvão Emília Valente
Published: December 2016

O objetivo deste artigo é examinar elementos da obra do cineasta dinamarquês Lars von Trier, a partir das noções de participação afetiva (MORIN, 1971; METZ, 1977) e modos de produção de afetos (ODIN, 2000). Por meio da análise do filme Epidemic (1987), o texto tenta demonstrar como, desde o início de sua carreira, o diretor vem colocando em cena uma série de problemas relacionados à expressão dos afetos dos personagens e à convocação da experiência afetiva do espectador a partir da apropriação de estratégias associadas aos gêneros de corpo (WILLIAMS, 1991).
Um desejo de sociedade, um desejo de ordem. Filmes noirs e faroestes: a cidade domada
Authors: Kuster Eliana
Published: December 2016

Através da análise de duas figuras arquetípicas das narrativas cinematográficas é que se desenvolve esse artigo, estabelecendo um paralelo entre os personagens do cowboy e do detetive. Essa relação, e a observação do significado de tais personagens no período específico de seu surgimento, podem nos ajudar a melhor compreender a ideia da ordem urbana como elemento essencial ao convívio social. Essa ideia foi construída em determinado período tendo, dentre outras linguagens, o cinema como coadjuvante. Ao nos determos no papel simbólico representado por esses personagens, bem como na função que essas tipologias fílmicas - o faroeste e o romance noir - apresentam como auxiliares à constituição de um imaginário, o que fica clara é a importância desempenhada pelas narrativas cinematográficas no engendramento do tecido social que nos rodeia.

￼Speaking with Earth and Sky: Oral Storytelling in the cinema of Craig and Damon Foster
Authors: Botha Martin
Published: December 2016

The focus of this article is the documentaries of the Foster Brothers and in particular their bold experimentation with form. A brief historical overview of developments in South African documentary filmmaking from the late 1970s till the 21st century contextualises some of the important thematic concerns in the work of Craig and Damon Foster, namely marginal characters, the forced removal of people from their land, as well as the destruction of indigenous cultures. The directors are among very few South African film-makers, who use the African tradition of oral storytelling in their documentaries. In many ways the documentaries combine the social concerns of the progressive political documentaries of the 1980s with the oral aesthetics of film cultures elsewhere on this continent.
