Axiology of the Borderlands in the Context of Intercultural Education and Socialisation
Authors: Pilarska Justyna
Published: August 2020

Borderland societies are subject to processes such as upbringing and socialization which, contrary to homogenous cultures, take place in a complex cultural, social and political surrounding. Therefore, the course of socialisation and upbringing influences is dynamised by factors absent within culturally homogenous societies. This, for instance, the axiology of a borderland focuses on values such as pro-social or cognitive ones, which appear to be the most common and favorable for the intercultural society, enabling dynamic, but harmonious coexistence of various cultures in the borderland. Moreover, axiology taking place in the context of a borderland socialisation is related not only to the intercultural education with which it shares the priorities and goals, but it also tackles the borderland (heterogenic) identity, which is shaped by values specific for such symbolic and material area.

ABSTRACT With the expansion of robotic surgical procedures, the acquisition of specific knowledge and skills for surgeons to reach proficiency seems essential before performing surgical procedures on humans. In this sense, the authors present a proposal to establish a certification based on objective and validated criteria for carrying out robotic procedures. A study was carried out by the Committee on Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery of the Brazilian College of Surgeons based on a reviewing strategy of the scientific literature. The study serves as a reference for the creation of a standard for the qualification and certification in robotic surgery according to a statement of the Brazilian Medical Association (AMB) announced on December 17, 2019. The standard proposes a minimum curriculum, integrating training and performance evaluation. The initial (pre-clinical) stage aims at knowledge and adaptation to a specific robotic platform and the development of psychomotor skills based on surgical simulation. Afterwards, the surgeon must accompany in person at least five surgeries in the specialty, participate as a bedside assistant in at least 10 cases and perform 10 surgeries under the supervision of a preceptor surgeon. The surgeon who completes all the steps will be considered qualified in robotic surgery in his specialty. The final certification must be issued by the specialty societies affiliated to AMB. The authors conclude that the creation of a norm for habilitation in robotic surgery should encourage Brazilian hospitals to apply objective qualification criteria for this type of procedure to qualify assistance.

Published: August 2020

Abstract This work aimed to select semivariogram models to estimate trends in monthly precipitation in Paraiba State-Brazil using ordinary kriging. The methodology involves the application of geostatistical interpolation of precipitation records of 51 years from 69 rainfall stations across the state. Analysis of semivariograms showed that specific months had a strong spatial dependence (Index of Spatial Dependence - IDE < 25%). The trends were subjected to the following models: circular, spherical, pentaspherical, exponential, Gaussian, rational quadratic, K-Bessel and tetraspherical. The best fit models were selected by cross-validation and Error Comparison Index (ECI). Each data set (month) had a particular spatial dependence structure, which made it necessary to define specific models of semivariogram in order to enhance the adjustment of the experimental semivariogram. Besides, the monthly trend map was plotted to justify the chosen models.

Published: August 2020

Abstract Two models aimed to estimate solar irradiance were calibrated in six locations in Northeastern Pará (Belém, Cametá, Conceição do Araguaia, Marabá, Soure, and Tucuruí). The first one is the equation of Angström-Prescott (AP), which requires observations of sunshine duration hours. The second model is a modified version of Hargreaves' radiation formula (MH), which requires observations of daily maximum and daily minimum air temperatures. Both models were calibrated to estimate daily and monthly solar radiation. The calibration of both equations for each season (i.e., dry season and wet season) in each location was also tested. AP has an average performance about 74% higher than MH for daily estimates (excluding Soure) and 83% higher than MH for monthly estimates (excluding Soure and Tucuruí). The use of seasonally calibrated equations slightly improves the performance of AP, measured by the performance index, by 0.68% and improves the performance of MH in most locations, when estimating daily solar radiation. The performance of both models is much higher when estimating monthly solar radiation than daily solar radiation, with an increase of the performance index of 10.95% for AP.

Published: August 2020

Objective: to clinically validate the nursing diagnosis of Dysfunctional Ventilatory Weaning Response in adult patients admitted to Intensive Care Units. Method: a concurrent cohort performed with 93 patients admitted to Intensive Care Units. The incidence and incidence density of the diagnosis were estimated, its related factors were identified based on bivariate analysis and clinical indicators for determining its occurrence, according to the global and temporal presentation. Results: the overall incidence of the diagnosis was 44.09% and the incidence density was 14.49 occurrences for every 100 extubations/day. The factors related to the diagnosis were the following: age, clinical severity, fluid balance, oliguria, hemodialysis, edema in upper/lower limbs, anasarca, number of antibiotics, hypothermia, hyperthermia, amount of secretion, muscle retraction, anxiety score, heart rate, use of vasopressors and non-invasive ventilation after extubation. The clinical indicators most frequently identified for determining the diagnosis were the following: tachypnea, drop of saturation and tachycardia. Temporal progression in the severity of these manifestations was found. Conclusion: the Dysfunctional Ventilatory Weaning Response is a common finding in critically ill patients. Some components of the diagnosis of the NANDA-International (2018) version could be clinically validated. It is noteworthy that there are variables not yet described in the taxonomy, demonstrating the need to review this nursing diagnosis.

Authors: Oliveira Camila de Souza , Martins Júlia Trevisan , Galdino Maria José Quina , Perfeito Renata Ribeiro
Published: August 2020

Objectives: to understand the perception of nurses in emergency care units about the violence experienced at work. Method: qualitative study conducted through 21 individual interviews between November and December 2018 in two emergency care units in a city in Paraná. Symbolic Interactionism was adopted as the theoretical framework and the Thematic Content Analysis technique was used to evaluate the data. Results: from the thematic category experiencing psychological violence in the nurses’ daily work, it was evidenced that it was related to threats against their lives, cursing, humiliation, embarrassment, attempt to defame them, as well as pressure from subordinates. In the category experiencing physical violence in the nurses’ daily work, it was found that it was imposed through pushing, pulling hair, throwing objects, the presence of firearms and knives and, even, witnessing murder. Conclusion: nurses suffered acts of violence by external and internal people, from the emergency care units themselves. Managers, nurses and society need to look reflexively and critically at the violence that happens and implement actions to avoid them, thus providing a safe working environment for all involved and educate society in order to make the reduction of violence a priority in public policies.

Abstract Objective: To analyze two hospital emergency services, one in a public institution and another in a philanthropic one, from the perspective of rapid response team professionals in the face of positive and negative critical incidents. Method: Descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study carried with 62 health professionals. Critical Incident Technique was employed as the theoretical-methodological framework, along with Content Analysis for analyzing data. Results: Sixty-two health professionals - including 23 nurses, 20 physiotherapists and 19 doctors - took part in this study. Clusters for 89 critical incidents were obtained; 66 of them were considered positive, whereas 23 were negative. The situations associated to the provided services were discriminated in three categories: recognition of patient clinical deterioration; rapid response team activation in the unit; and time until rapid response team arrival at the ward. Conclusion: In spite of the difficulties faced by such professionals while providing care to patients who become severely ill in non-critical wards, positive reports were predominant in all categories, what legitimized this service's importance as a contribution to quality and safety of hospitalized patients.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip bone mineral density (biophysical bone health assessment parameter), and sociodemographic, anthropometric, behavioral, and health condition factors in Brazilian adults. Method: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study performed with individuals of both genders, aged between 20 and 59 (n=701). The dependent variables were evaluated by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. The independent variables were evaluated through a questionnaire, anthropometric evaluation and blood collection. The association between bone mineral density and the independent variables was evaluated by linear regression analysis. All analyses were stratified by gender. Results: Men presented higher bone mineral density than women. Bone mineral density was inversely associated with age range and directly associated with nutritional status in both genders and in the three bone sites analyzed. In addition, 25 Hydroxyvitamin D deficient status among men and contraceptive use among women were associated with lower bone mineral density, and a significant association was only found with lumbar spine bone mineral density in women. Conclusion: The factors associated with bone health among men were age, skin color, nutritional status, and vitamin D status. For women, the associated factors with bone health were age, skin color, nutritional status and contraceptive use.

Published: August 2020

Dot blot frequently is underutilized or is not frequently used because it cannot assess the molecular weight of macromolecules, but it is simple to perform and is useful when a particular biomolecule needs to be identified. In this protocol dot blot analysis is used for detection of anti-HIV antibody [1], and it is also available for determination or separation of any protein. It can be very useful in the immunodiagnosis of infectious diseases caused by viruses [1] and bacteria [2] and in addition for the determination of specific DNA sequences by using probes [3].

Authors: Bezhenar Vitaly F. , Ivanova Lidia A. , Korshunov Mikhail Yu.
Published: August 2020

Hypothesis/aims of study. In the past 15 years, statistical reports have standardly identified five main causes of perinatal loss: hypoxia / asphyxia and its consequences, congenital malformations, respiratory disorders, intrauterine infections, and birth injuries. The cause of perinatal loss is indicated in 17-83% of cases, but this percentage can be increased by a careful analysis of the course of pregnancy, childbirth, and the results of autopsy. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of verification of the causes of perinatal death in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region for 2006-2018.
Study design, materials and methods. The methodology of determining the cause of perinatal loss in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region for 2006-2018 was analyzed according to the reports of the St. Petersburg State Budgetary Healthcare Institution Medical Information and Analytical Center) and the Leningrad Regional State Budgetary Healthcare Institution Medical Information Analytical Center, as well as the Leningrad Regional Pathological and Anatomical Bureau. Further, the frequency of cases in which the cause of perinatal loss was not indicated was estimated in dynamics over the analyzed period.
Results. The methodology and problems arising in establishing the basic diagnoses were studied: intrauterine hypoxia (P20.0), asphyxia during childbirth (P21), respiratory disorders in the newborn that occurred in the perinatal period (P22-P28), and hemorrhagic and hematological disorders in the fetus and newborn (P50-P61). Differences in the frequency of diagnosis of causes of death in Leningrad Regional Pathological and Anatomical Bureau are explained. Those are due to the methodology for establishing a diagnosis of chronic placental insufficiency (O43.8, other placental disorders: dysfunction, heart attack) based on the detection of hypoxic cardiopathy at autopsy, and due to the approach developed by the institution to detect intrauterine infections. The frequency of cases in which the cause of perinatal loss was not indicated was estimated, the reasons and possibilities of this being explained.
Conclusion. Low information content of the official statistical reports makes it difficult to analyze the real causes of perinatal loss.

Published: August 2020

Aim. To assess the practice in applying Temporary criteria of determination of extent of loss of professional working capacity currently in force in various constituent entities of the Russian Federation and to substantiate the main directions for their improvement.

Methods. The analysis of expert decisions to establish the degree of occupational disability, adopted in the period from 2015 to 2017, was carried out in 77 subjects of the Russian Federation for two nosological forms: (1) consequences of lower limb injuries (T93) and (2) bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (H83.3). A comparative analysis of expert decisions made using current and proposed by the authors criteria in 2 constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2018 was carried out. For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics methods.

Results. Taking into account a high variability in expert decisions making in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for similar cases (coefficient of variation 21.6%), the authors conclude that it is necessary to change approaches to the methodology for assessing the type of professional activity (qualifications, quality and volume of work, ability to perform it). Using the authors propose criteria based on the concept of reasonable accommodation allowed us to significantly reduce the variability of the decisions made in the pilot regions, the coefficient of variation decreased from 21.25 to 7.43%.

Conclusion. High variability of decisions made during the examination of the degree of occupational disability is associated with the imperfection of the methods and criteria for assessing the victim's professional activities; the use of the criteria proposed by the authors allows for a higher reproducibility of the results of the examinations.

Published: August 2020

The scientific challenge of combining the tuberculosis process and lung cancer has not been fully disclosed in modern literature. This primarily involves the low incidence of these two pathologies at the same time. This may contribute to difficulties in the qualitative and timely diagnosis of these diseases. Tuberculosis hides the radiological manifestations of a malignant tumor for a long time that contributing to its progression and the development of high mortality among patients. Lung cancer facilitates hemato- and lymphogenous spread of a specific pathogen. As an example, a clinical case of simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer which was observed in the patient admitted to the Department for patients with respiratory tuberculosis of Nizhny Novgorod regional clinical tuberculosis dispensary, was presented. We concluded that compliance with the algorithm of the mandatory diagnostic minimum when patients admitted to the general healthcare network, as well as compliance with the rules for population screening, especially among people over 45, will minimize the risks of delayed diagnosis in case of coexistence of respiratory tuberculosis and lung cancer.

Aim. To improve the results of surgical treatment in patients with large lipomas by using the device for closing the edges of wounds, allowing local preventive hemostasis in the surgical wound area, to create optimal conditions for atraumatic suturing and thereby reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding and subsequently reduce the amount of postoperative wound complications.

Methods. The results of treatment of 105 patients with different localization of large lipomas were analyzed. Lipomas ranged from 8.0 to 20 cm in diameter. All patients were divided into 2 groups: the control group consisted of 53 (50.5%) patients for which used the traditional technique of tumor excision with closing surgical wounds, and the study group with 52 (49.5%) patients, for which to reduce tissue damage during tumor removal and the edges of wound suturing, one of the device variants developed by us was used, approximation-distraction device. Fisher's exact test was used for the comparison of the outcomes rate, a p-value 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results. Surgical wound complications occurred in 7 (6.7%) of 105 patients. In the study group, surgical wound complications occurred in 1.9% (1 observation), in the control group 11.3% (6 observations). Surgical wound complications were severity grade I and grade IIIa. Complications of the first grade did not require a debridement and will regress on its own; in grade IIIa complications, an opening, excision and drainage surgical wounds were performed without general anesthesia.

Conclusion. Moderate local selective near-tumor tissue compression that occurs when the device branches come closer to each other accelerates spontaneous thrombus formation in damaged small vessels. This creates favorable conditions for the surgeon to work in a dry wound.

Published: August 2020

Aim. To determine the level of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) in acute intestinal infection, depending on the etiology and severity of the disease, and the effect of interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-10 levels on the expression of LBP.

Methods. Serum samples of 62 patients were assayed by solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a set of reagents ELISA (USA) and Vector-best (Novosibirsk) for levels of LBР, IL-1, IL-10. The first group included 33 patients with bacterial intestinal infection, the second group consisted of 29 patients with viral diarrhea, and the control group comprised 20 conditionally healthy patients. Analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Statistica version 6.0 software. Statistical differences were determined by using the MannWhitney U Test, the p-value 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant. Spearmans correlation coefficient was used to examine relationships. ShapiroWilk W test was used to check for normal distribution of the features.

Results. We detected the presence of LBP in all the studied groups, with the content of LBP was significantly increased in the group of bacterial intestinal infections compared with other groups. With regard to disease severity, LBP level was the highest for mild acute intestinal infections caused by bacteria, and for viral diarrhea, fluctuations in LBP did not exceed the norm. In intestinal infections caused by bacteria, the levels of LBP were directly related to the levels of IL-1 and IL-10.

Conclusion. Detection of LBP concentration can be used for the initial differential diagnosis of intestinal infections caused by bacteria, which would significantly narrow the diagnostic search and determine the tactics of etiotropic therapy; also, considering the relationship between the concentration of LBP and disease severity, this indicator can be used as a predictive sign of the course of the disease.
Exploring Physical Links between Fluid Injection and Nearby Earthquakes: The 2012 Mw 4.8 Timpson, Texas, Case Study
Authors: Szafranski Dawid , Duan Benchun
Published: August 2020

In this work, we integrate a fluid-flow model of 3D deformable porous media with a dynamic rupture model of earthquakes in 3D heterogeneous geologic medium. The method allows us to go beyond fault failure potential analyses and to examine how big an earthquake can be if part of a fault reaches failure due to fluid injection. We apply the method to the 17 May 2012 Mw 4.8 Timpson, Texas, earthquake as a case study. The simulated perturbations of pore pressure and stress from wastewater injection at the time of the mainshock are high enough (several MPa) to trigger an earthquake. Dynamic rupture modeling could reproduce the major observations from the Mw 4.8 event, including its size, focal mechanism, and aftershock sequence, and thus building a more convincing physical link between fluid injection and the Mw 4.8 earthquake. Furthermore, parameter space studies of dynamic rupture modeling allow us to place some constraints on fault frictional properties and background stresses. For the Timpson case, we find that a dynamic friction coefficient of ∼0.3, a value of ∼0.1  m for the critical slip distance in the slip-weakening friction law, and uniform effective normal stress are associated with the Timpson earthquake fault. By reproducing main features of the aftershock sequence of the mainshock, we also demonstrate that the method has potential to become a predictive tool for fluid injection design in the future.
Ars Rhetorica: Petrônio, Satyricon, 5
Authors: Gouvêa Júnior Márcio Meirelles
Published: August 2020

The twenty-two verses that make up Chapter 5 of Satyricon describe the guidelines of the formation of perfectus orator, as defined by Cato, Tacitus and Quintilian. However, the function of the poem in the assembly of this Latin novel is to accentuate the gap between educational theory during the early empire and the practice of an effective teaching of oratory – a practice deemed decadent since the final years of the republic. The poem, therefore, satirizes the educational processes at the time, serving as an object of sarcasm to the readers of ancient Rome.
Cuando matan las manos del padre: Licurgo y la furia asesina
Authors: Colombani Maria Cecília
Published: August 2020

O projeto do presente ensaio consiste em indagar as consequências da mania assassina quando Dioniso exerce sua ação sobre homens e mulheres, indistintamente. Até o momento, a presença feminina no palco do horror fica atestada em múltiplos espaços do mito; a figura masculina, ao contrário, se mostra menos ostentosa. O episódio que vamos analisar se situa, precisamente, no enclave masculino como tópos da fúria assassina. Licurgo, rei dos edônios, na Trácia, foi quem proibiu as cerimônias em honra do deus, pelo qual foi castigado. É aqui o local onde Dioniso encontra seu primeiro adversário e ser seu adversário significa sempre o mesmo: não o reconhecer de algum modo, ignorar seu estatuto divino e, portanto, negar ou proibir suas cerimônias, o que desata a fúria do deus. Seu estrangeirismo é a estranheza ontológica de quem rompe a cada instante a tranquila certeza do Mesmo. Daí seu rosto Outro. Daí seu salto carregado de estranha loucura.

A análise comparativa de elementos da mitologia celta em relação a elementos da mitologia grega revela uma similitude que, no entanto, não é decorrente de um empréstimo céltico ao mundo grego, mas de uma herança comum que tem suas origens em um passado distante indo-europeu.
El papel de Tierra en Teogonía. Poder y resistencia: el modelo de la batalla perpetua
Authors: Colombani María Cecilia
Published: August 2020

O propósito do presente trabalho é rastrear as distintas configurações da Terra no âmbito da Teogonia hesiódica. Abordaremos em primeiro lugar sua presença inaugural e fundadora no relato cosmogônico para logo rastreá-la ao longo do poema, buscando linhas de tensão com outras divindades e jogos de poder a partir das mesmas.
Ecos da Eneida de Virgílio, e do herói antigo, em O fiel e a pedra de Osman Lins
Authors: Trevizam Matheus
Published: August 2020

Neste artigo, propomos buscar alguns elementos de coincidência entre a trama do romance O fiel e a pedra, do escritor brasileiro Osman Lins, e a Eneida de Virgílio, que o primeiro decerto considerou como um modelo. Além disso, explicamos na sequência em que medida o protagonista de O fiel e a pedra se aproxima ou afasta do paradigma do herói presente na épica de Virgílio. Dessa maneira, esperamos explicar por que esse romance moderno foi deﬁnido como uma espécie de alusão à Eneida, a despeito das diferenças genéricas, culturais, cronológicas e espaciais aqui envolvidas.
Lendo a citação (Críton, 43d1 – 44b5): “Vou-me embora pra fértil Phthía...”
Authors: Silva Rafael Guimarães Tavares
Published: August 2020

O recurso da citação oferece múltiplas possibilidades de leitura, cuja análise, neste artigo, pretende mostrar as implicações para uma renovada discussão acerca de uma passagem em Críton, 43d1–44b5. Nesse famoso entrecho, no qual Sócrates narra para Críton o sonho em que uma bela mulher vem até ele e cita uma das falas de Aquiles (extraída de Ilíada, IX, 363), há uma multiplicidade de maneiras de entender tal citação, embora os intérpretes tradicionais tenham dado pouca importância para a maior parte delas. Uma nova análise dessa complexa rede de referências é proposta aqui, a ﬁm de acentuar a importância envolvida na citação enquanto recurso discursivo.

Le cuisinier fanfaron chez Athénée
Authors: Carastro Marcello
Published: August 2020

Nos Deipnosophístai, Ateneu põe em cena a figura do alazōn mágeiros, o cozinheiro fanfarrão, que intervém no espaço do banquete não somente para apresentar seus pratos, mas também para celebrar longamente sua arte culinária. Recorrendo a numerosas citações eruditas (o mais das vezes, das comédias), o cozinheiro rivaliza com os doutores à mesa. Mas este gosto partilhado pela erudição não saberia ocultar a separação que existe entre o mágeiros e os convivas. Afim de apreender a distância que os separa, este artigo propõe um estudo da noção de alazoneía, fanfarronice. Aparece, assim, uma vasta rede de noções e de representações que articulam a fala épica, as sonoridades agudas ou ainda o discurso dos sophístai (doutores) com o prazer, a enganação, a imobilização e o esquecimento.

O que vês? / O que lês?: imagináveis aproximações entre Fílon e Zacarias
Authors: Rios César Motta
Published: August 2020

In this note, I propose a discussion based on the possibility of comparison between the Philo of Alexandria's allegorical interpretation, and the one used in Zechariah’s book. By using selected examples, in which I have found similarities and dissimilarities between both authors, I aim to demonstrate that the semiotic difference of the object read in the prophet's text must be taken into account when compared to Philo's “textual” allegorical interpretation. At the end, I try to expose a reflection on the tradition of allegorical readers (or readings) and the place of Zechariah's text in it.

Cronologia das traduções e das obras filológicas orientalistas (séc. XVIII e XIX)
Authors: Santos F. Delfim
Published: August 2020

As obras do remoto Oriente foram trazidas para a Europa ao longo dos sécs. XVIII e XIX para serem estudadas inicialmente com intenção polêmica, visando fortalecer as crenças coloniais na superioridade ocidental. Porém o seu estudo tomou caminhos imprevisíveis, colocando em causa a identidade religiosa e cultural da Europa dominante e as crenças religiosas dos conquistadores. No final a cultura do vencido acabou conquistando a do arrogante vencedor, segundo o paradigma horaciano (Hor., Epistulae 2.1.156-7). Um novo mundo “antigo” surge ante os olhos estupefatos dos homens de pensamento, um mundo cuja pervivência poderia e deveria ser estudada in situ. Deu-se uma revolução cultural tão importante como a provocada pelo renascimento da cultura greco-latina na Itália do Quattrocento e a descoberta de novos continentes e populações nos sécs. XV-XVI, ou a dos novos mundos astronômicos, físicos e da história natural ao longo da Idade Moderna. As principais consequências da vitória da Filologia se fizeram sentir no mundo da teologia e da filosofia.
O que é “ontologia do presente”?
Authors: Adverse Helton
Published: August 2020

This paper’s aim is to elucidate the meaning of the paradoxical expression “ontology of the present”, utilized by Foucault in his latest works. To achieve this goal, I adopted a twofold strategy: on the one hand, it was useful to recall that this was not the first time Foucault used a deranging expression. In the 1960’s, in the period he developed his “archeology of knowledge”, we can find in some of his major works the husserlian term “historical a priori”. On the other hand, I had to analyze some aspects of his interpretation of the modernity that we can find in his last articles, interviews and lessons in the Collège de France. In these occasions, Kant’s philosophy was the main theoretical influence.

Ressignificações do coro trágico na conteporaneidade: uma releitura dos cantos fúnebres da antiguidade à luz de Ismail Kadaré e Walter Salles
Authors: Pompeu Ana Maria César , Lima Beatriz Furtado Alencar
Published: August 2020

Resumo: O coro trágico presente nas tragédias gregas e já prefigurado em algumas passagens da Ilíada não se restringe às encenações dos poetas trágicos da Antiguidade, nem tampouco ao solo da antiga Grécia. Seus cantos emitem ressonâncias que se fazem sentir até hoje, por meio de ressignificações, em gêneros artísticos diversos da contemporaneidade. O ressoar desses cantos pode ser percebido – no trabalho que ora apresentaremos – nas obras dos artistas Ismail Kadaré e Walter Salles, respectivamente, escritor albanês e cineasta brasileiro os quais recriam e recontextualizam em suas obras a presença do coro trágico por meio das figuras das carpideiras albanesas e da rezadeiras nordestinas. Ismail Kadaré revive em sua tragédia albanesa, Abril despedaçado, o coro trágico, bem como os cantos fúnebres enunciados por mulheres que choravam profissionalmente nos solos da Grécia e dos Bálcãs; Walter Salles, por sua vez, ao traduzir para o cinema a obra homônima do escritor albanês recria as carpideiras albanesas por meio das rezadeiras nordestinas tendo como base o coro das tragédias gregas. É o coro trágico, pois, que volta à cena ressignificado à luz das culturas albanesa e brasileira.Palavras-Chave: coro trágico; ressignificação; cultura.Resumen: El coro trágico presente en las tragedias griegas y ya prefigurado en algunos pasajes de Iliada no se restringe a las escenificaciones de los poetas trágicos de la Antigüedad, ni tampoco al suelo de la antigua Grecia.
