Experimental Measurements in Schools with Natural Ventilation
Authors: Štefanič Pavol , Straková Zuzana
Published: July 2024

Facilities for children and young people should be established in a healthy environment that is protected from external health-damaging factors, such as noise, air pollution, and negative educational influences. A school building should also be a safe and healthy environment for pupils and students, as legally required. However, although some school buildings have been renovated, most were constructed in the last century, and their indoor microclimate remains unsatisfactory. Schools must maintain optimal thermal and humidity conditions to ensure the healthy development of children and their ability to function properly in a classroom. While natural ventilation through opening windows is a good practice, it may not always guarantee sufficient air exchange, especially for schools located in busy traffic areas. This paper presents experimental measurements and a comparison between two primary schools in Bratislava, which describes the current thermal and humidity conditions in the indoor environment of both schools. Experimental measurements were carried out on five school days in each primary school to determine the thermal-humidity conditions and indoor air quality, depending on the concentrations of carbon dioxide.

Feminisms, Dworkin and Abortion
Authors: Rosa Viviane Lemes da
Published: July 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate Brazilian legislation, Dworkin's studies and feminist critical theory regarding abortion with the aim of understanding how feminisms can generate criticism of Brazilian legal regulation and Dworkin's conclusions on the topic.
 
Theoretical Framework: In this topic, the main concepts and theories that underpin the research are presented. Feminist critical theories and Dworkinian theory stand out, providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the investigation.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises the hypothetical-deductive method and data collection was carried out through bibliographical documentary research, notably from research sources consisting of scientific articles, books, periodicals and collections.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that (i) different feminisms contribute to confronting sexist oppression; (ii) by guaranteeing the material equality of people, the Federal Constitution is feminist and the acts of the three Powers should be revised accordingly; (iii) the decriminalization of abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy will be decided by the Federal Supreme Court in ADPF 442, but there is a favorable understanding in HC 124/306; (iv) Dworkin's interpretive theory proposes Law as integrity and analyzes abortion from the American context, when the Supreme Court presented a permissive precedent; (v) Dworkin understood abortion as a collective issue because it involves collective values ​​and the intrinsic good of life, which is of state interest, which would justify the State demanding certain responsibilities via regulation; (vi) Dworkin criticizes the author of radical feminism and cites the author of femininity feminism, which is widely criticized for the idealization of motherhood and for enabling sexist aspects; (vii) for the Law, abortion is not a religious, moral or ethical discussion, it does not require consideration between the community's religious rights and other rights, but it is a choice of the pregnant woman and its regulation depends on scientific medical criteria. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of criminal law. These implications could include the (de)criminalization of abortion.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by approaching a critical view of abortion for Dworkinian theory from feminisms. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by its questioning of some Dworkinian moral assumptions about abortion.
O poder de agência e a instituição dos paradigmas de conhecimento: subsídios para a análise do agir histórico em ambientes intelectuais
Authors: Aguiar Renan
Published: July 2024

Associando as teorias de Thomas Kuhn e de Cornelius Castoriadis, este trabalho aborda o agir histórico em ambientes intelectuais. As ações dos agentes encontram-se premidas entre o conjunto de possibilidades disponíveis em uma determinada época e sua inventividade, bem como sua capacidade para de divergir do conjunto teórico vigente. Segundo Kuhn, notabilizado pelo estudo acerca do paradigma de conhecimento científico, a escolha de um novo paradigma não é determinada por regras lógico-racionais, mas sim por generalizações simbólicas, modelos, valores e exemplos compartilhados, que muitas vezes faz com que o debate científico se assemelhe mais à prática da retórica que ao conhecimento científico normal. Por outro lado, Castoriadis pensou o imaginário como o instituidor de visões de mundo. Ou seja, os padrões sobre como se pensa sobre algo são instituídos pelo poder imaginativo que, também, promove rupturas com o pensamento anterior. Ao articular agência, paradigmas de conhecimento e imaginário, o trabalho propõe uma interpretação complementar entre as teorias de Kuhn e Castoriadis, oferecendo novas percepções sobre os processos revolucionários nas práticas intelectuais.
ПАНСЛОВ’ЯНСЬКІ ІДЕЇ В СУЧАСНІЙ РОСІЙСЬКІЙ ПОЛІТИЧНІЙ УЯВІ І ВІЙНА СУПРОТИ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: КОВАЛЬЧУК Наталія
Published: July 2024

Мета дослідження. Питання про те, чи була війна Росії проти України ідеологічно вмотивованою, є частиною ширшої дискусії про реваншистський поворот у російській зовнішній політиці. Період після розпаду Радянського Союзу став часом пошуків нової державної ідеології та появи різних форм сучасного російського націоналізму. У цьому контексті на особливу увагу заслуговують панслов’янські ідеї, які поширювалися в академічній, навколоакадемічній та політичній сферах протягом десятиліть, що передували повномасштабному вторгненню. Методологія дослідження включала критичний дискурс-аналіз виступів, офіційних заяв, публікацій у ЗМІ, що уможливило виявити вбудовані повідомлення та зіставити їх з тезами, характерними для панславістської доктрини. Новизна дослідження. Такий підхід дав змогу розпізнати ті елементи в російському офіційному дискурсі та пропаганді, які сягають пізньоімперських часів, і пояснити їх роль в ідеологічному виправданні війни супроти України. Висновки. Концепції та символи, які впливають на те, як російське керівництво уявляє і себе, і свою роль на світовій арені, часто спираються на характеристики, які асоціюються з панслов’янськими ідеями. Як наслідок, російсько-український конфлікт представляють битвою цивілізацій з метою запобігти вестернізації України та викрити її нібито “антиросійську” сутність. Російський націоналізм розглядає Україну як невід’ємну частину ширшої російської ідентичності. Цей підхід підживлюється відчуттям історичної несправедливості та бажанням повернути, як вважається, втрачений вплив і території у Східній Європі та колишньому Радянському Союзі. Ізоляціоністська, псевдоправославна і месіанська мова постійно використовується вищими посадовими особами, включаючи Володимира Путіна. Хоча вони прагматично пристосовують свій дискурс до конкретних обставин, панслов’янські ідеї є одним із джерел дедалі популярнішої цивілізаційної риторики.
ПОЛІТИКА “РОЗЗБРОЄННЯ” ЯК ПЕРЕДУМОВА УПОКОРЕННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО СЕЛА В УМОВАХ “ВЕЛИКОГО ПЕРЕЛОМУ” 1929 – 1933 рр.

Мета статті – з’ясувати механізми та засоби “роззброєння” українського села у 1920-х – на початку 1930-х рр. у контексті подолання опору політиці радянської влади на селі. У ширшому розумінні – дати відповідь на ключове питання: чому селянство, маючи колосальну чисельну перевагу, програло змагання за майбутнє, було силоміць взяте під контроль і жорстоко умиротворене? Методологічною основою дослідження є конкретно-історичний, порівняльно-історичний та аналітичний методи. Наукова новизна. У статті сформульовано авторське визначення та розкрито сутнісні риси “роззброєння” селянства в Україні протягом 1920 – 1930-хрр. Висновок. “Роззброєння” українського села у 1920-х – на початку 1930-х рр. був комплексом гібридних заходів, розпочатих радянською владою у 1919 р. з метою взяття селянства під контроль та позбавлення його засобів для ведення повстанської боротьби та подальшого опору політиці більшовиків. “Роззброєння” не зводиться лише до процесу “викачування” із села зброї, яка накопичилася в ньому в умовах закінчення Першої світової війни, революційних подій 1917 – 1921 рр., а також селянського опору політиці більшовиків у 1920-х – на початку 1930-х рр. Автори пропонують розглядати “роззброєння” села в ширшому контексті – як систему гібридних комбінованих урядових заходів, спрямованих як на “вилучення” зброї (у військовому розумінні), так і на руйнування традиційних селянських інститутів (роззброєння як позбавлення всіх засобів, у тому числі моральних і вольових, для ведення боротьби, які пропонувала альтернативу в умовах створення радянського образу “нового суспільства”, “нового селянина”. Поступова ліквідація на селі інститутів, альтернативних радянським, створила передумови для упокорення українського села в період “великого перелому” 1929 – 1933 рр.
Cultural Perspectives in English Translation: The Story of Crow and Snake From Panchatantra
Authors: Afshord Ahmad Ayar , Amirdabbaghian Amin
Published: July 2024

The problem is that although the culture and language are blended, the linguistic elements sometimes roughly demonstrate cultural dimensions in translated products. In other words, a cultural translation usually demands an understanding of linguistic i.e. culturally bound terms and expressions as well as extra-linguistic elements including cultural ones. Since literature is a nation’s cultural resource, the issue becomes even more complicated when literary translation is being involved. To our knowledge, there is no original Panchatantra left in India and all we have today are translations in different languages. To this end, the Persian version has always been considered the source text since the book was first translated into Persian in 550 CE. Therefore, the English translation of the story Crow and Snake is selected from Panchatantra as the target text and investigated employing Bassnett and Lefevere’s (1992) Cultural Theory with a focus on interpretive Discourse Analysis (DA) as analytical frameworks. The Persian text is the translation of Monshi, reprinted in 2010 and the English translation was done by Ryder in 1925. The findings reveal that the relationship between language and culture still remains complicated, and yet the lack of cultural understanding among the translators leads to violation and distortion of the intended messages and meanings embedded in source texts. It is quite safe then to say that the lack of cultural knowledge highly influences the translation
The Syntax of the Genitive Case in Longus’ Novel Daphnis and Chloe
Authors: Chakal Inesa
Published: July 2024

This study aims to explore the syntactic functions and characteristics of the genitive case in the ancient Greek novel “Daphnis and Chloe” by Longus, a text from the 2nd century AD, which exemplifies the “second sophistic” period of rhetorical development. The primary source for this research is the text of “Daphnis and Chloe”, which has been thoroughly analysed to ascertain the usage of the genitive case in various syntactic roles. The research employs descriptive and structural methods of linguistic analysis. The descriptive method identifies and explains instances of the genitive case within the text, while the structural method examines the relationships between these instances and other linguistic elements. The genitive case in the novel is found to perform multiple syntactic functions, including controlling verbs, nouns, adjectives, and expressing various semantic nuances. Detailed examples are provided to illustrate these functions and their impact on the text’s meaning. The findings offer a foundation for further studies of the genitive case in ancient Greek texts, providing significant insights for researchers and linguists interested in ancient Greek grammar and its syntactic constructions. The study enhances understanding of ancient rhetorical techniques and their application in literary texts during the “second sophistic” period.

Published: July 2024

The Nagari Tageh concept, originally initiated earlier, has evolved into a broader scope, extending beyond the confines of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the overarching goal of accelerating the realization of Nagari Mandiri. The Tanjung Raya community's economic hardships, notably the Fish Farmers of Lake Maninjau, prompted our community engagement team to fortify the ‘New Nagari Tageh’ concept. The activity commenced with developing customized posters catering to the community's specific needs, encompassing imagery, color schemes, and language. Those posters served as a medium for publicizing the Nagari Tageh program in the Agam Regency. Furthermore, our community engagement team engaged in intensive discussions with the Agam Regency government, involving the Regional Development and Planning Agency (DPMD), to gain a better understanding of the on-ground situations and conditions faced by fish cage farmers in the Tanjung Raya subdistrict. Subsequently, our team provided counseling and further guidance to the fish cage farmers, ensuring the successful implementation of the ‘New Nagari Tageh’ concept. This holistic approach aimed to equip the community with the necessary knowledge and education to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic across various aspects of community life. Furthermore, it sought to rejuvenate the economic prospects of the fish cage farmers in the Tanjung Raya subdistrict, embodying the essence of the ‘New Nagari Tageh’ concept.

Authors: Murugan Manoranjani , Sadasivam Ilakkia Priya , Manoharan Aarthi , Jayakumar Swetha , Vetriselvan Yogesh , Samuel Melissa Shaelyn , Sambandam Ravikumar
Published: July 2024

Background

Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, is a common form of hair loss influenced by environmental, hormonal, and genetic factors. According to recent research, the PITX2 gene may play a key role in the pathophysiology of androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

Objectives

This study examines the association between genetic variants of the PITX2 gene and AGA risk.

Methods

The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples collected from 70 male AGA patients and 60 non-androgenetic alopecia controls. The isolated DNA was quantified and the genotype for three PITX2 polymorphisms (rs2200733, rs10033464, and rs13143308) was identified using TaqMan assays. The statistical analysis was done to determine the allele frequency of genetic variants between AGA and non-AGA groups.

Results

The demographic profile of the study population showed that the AGA and non-AGA groups differed in age. The AGA group had higher blood pressure, a higher prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and a higher incidence of family history. Through genetic analysis, significant correlations were found between AGA risk and specific PITX2 polymorphisms, significantly with the rs2200733 allele (OR = 6.08, p < 0.001*), the rs1003464 G allele (OR = 2.02, p < 0.019*) and the rs13143308 showed GT genotype (OR = 4.26, p < 0.001*).

Conclusion

Based on our findings, the PITX2 polymorphisms may play a vital role in the development of AGA. This study also found the interactions between genetic and environmental factors in AGA pathogenesis.

Published: July 2024

Bacterial vaginosis (BV), characterised by an imbalance in vaginal microbiota, frequently leading to recurrent episodes, has garnered recent research attention due to the significance of biofilms in its pathogenesis. BV biofilms contribute to recurrence by providing a shelter for harmful bacteria, rendering them resistant to conventional treatment. Objectives of this review include characterising BV biofilms, evaluating the limitations of current antibiotic therapy, highlighting emerging solutions and emphasising multifaceted approaches. The review presents data from clinical studies and trials on biofilm-focused treatments which might reduce BV recurrence, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of life of women with BV and reducing its burden on their reproductive health.

Authors: Rao T. Narayana , Gopal K. V. T. , Chennamsetty Kavya , Velapati Sai Teja Reddy , Ananditha K. , Adapa Pallavi Sai
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

The present study was undertaken to study the clinical profile and laboratory abnormalities in patients with facial acanthosis nigricans (FANs). The significance of FAN as a marker of insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components was determined by comparing with controls without FAN.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty clinically diagnosed cases of FAN of all ages and both sexes were enrolled. Age- and sex-matched obese patients without FAN were included as controls. Waist circumference, blood pressure and body mass index were measured. Venous samples were taken from all patients and controls for measuring fasting glucose level, fasting insulin levels and fasting lipid profile. Statistical analysis was done using the Chi-square test and unpaired t-test.

Results:

The prevalence of hypertension, dysglycaemia, hyperlipidaemia, elevated Homeostatic Model Assessment for IR (HOMA-IR) and MS was significantly higher in cases of FAN than controls (P < 0.05). The mean levels of fasting blood sugar, HOMA-IR, hypertension, high-density lipoprotein and serum triglycerides were significantly higher in patients of FAN than controls (P < 0.05). The odds ratio for FAN cases developing MS was determined to be 5.31.

Conclusion:

FAN may be considered as a significant clinical marker of IR with increased risk for MS and its component when compared to controls. All patients with FAN should be considered for a thorough biochemical workup to rule out MS. In all detected cases, it is prudent to initiate prompt remedial measures including lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy to prevent long-term morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Nasir Aiysha , Sultan Fateh Ali Tipoo , Khawaja Rizwan Ali , Tamiz Muhammad Ahmed
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

Due to rheumatic heart disease, young people are more likely to develop valvular heart disease in developing countries. In countries like Pakistan, surgeons implant more bioprosthetic mitral valves (MVs) in younger patients. However, bioprosthetic valves degenerate rapidly in younger people, leading to bioprosthetic MV dysfunction (BMVD). This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with bioprosthetic MV replacement (MVR) at a tertiary care hospital in a South Asian country.

Material and Methods:

This is a retrospective observational study, conducted at a tertiary care hospital. We included a total of 502 patients who underwent bioprosthetic MVR from the year 2006 to 2020. Clinical and surgical characteristics along with transthoracic echocardiographic findings (pre-surgery and recent most follow-up studies) were noted. Follow-up data were also collected.

Results:

Out of 502 patients, 322 (64%) were female, mean age at the time of surgery was 49.42 ± 14.56 years. Mitral regurgitation was more common, found in 279 (55.6%) patients followed by mitral stenosis in 188 (37.5%) patients. MVR was done as an elective procedure due to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) II to IV symptoms at the time of surgery in 446 (88.8%) patients. In the mean follow-up of 6.59 ± 2.99 years, BMVD was observed in 183 (36.5%) patients. However, re-do MV surgery was done in only 49 (9.8%) patients. Patients were divided into two groups based on normal functioning bioprosthetic MV and BMVD. Comparing the two groups, individuals with normal functioning bioprosthetic MV had a mean age of 51.6 ± 14.27 years, while those with BMVD had a mean age of 45.639 ± 14.33 years at the time of index surgery (P = 0.000). There were more long-term complications including heart failure (n = 16, 8.74%), atrial fibrillation (n = 11, 6.01%), and death (n = 6, 3.28%) in the BMVD group which were statistically significant.

Conclusion:

This study is distinct because it demonstrates the outcomes of bioprosthetic valve replacement in a relatively younger South Asian population. Due to rapid degeneration of bioprosthetic valve in younger patients, significant number of patients developed BMVD along with poor long-term clinical outcomes, even at a short follow-up period of <10 years. These findings are similar to international data and signify that mechanical MVR may be a more reasonable alternative in younger patients.
Introducing chirality in porous organic cages through solid-state interactions
Authors: Wolpert Emma , Jelfs Kim
Published: July 2024

Molecular cages contain an internal cavity designed to encapsulate other molecules, resulting in applications in molecular separation, gas storage, and catalysis. Introducing chirality in cage molecules can improve the selective separation of chiral molecules and add new functionalities due to the realisation of chiral photophysical properties. It has recently been shown that solid-state supramolecular interactions between achiral cages can result in the formation of chiral cavities. Here, we develop a computational technique to predict when achiral cages form chiral cavities in the solid-state through the combination of atomistic calculations and coarse-grained modelling to predict the crystalline phase behaviour. Our focus is on the achiral cage B11, which contains rotatable arene rings on the vertices of the cage that can form propeller-like orientations, inducing a chiral cavity. We show that by using dimer pair calculations, we can inform coarse-grained models to predict the packing of the cage. Our results reveal how the supramolecular interactions drive chirality in the achiral cages without the need for a chiral guest. These findings are a first step towards understanding how we can design chirality through supramolecular interactions by using abstract coarse-grained models to inform design principles for targeted solid-state phase behaviour.
Label free Electrochemical Biosensor using Zinc Oxide-Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite for Uric Acid Detection
Authors: Dutta Priyanka , Raza Md Ramiz
Published: July 2024

We synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and associated them with Reduced Graphene Oxides (rGO) to create rGO-ZnONCs using ultrasonication. The ZnONPs and rGO-ZnONCs nanocomposites have average diameters of approximately 29.11 nm and 12.5 nm, respectively. A set of characterization tools was used to examine the synthesized nanocomposites. The optical parameters were analyzed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-visible). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the chemical composition of the nanocomposites. The X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) pattern revealed the existing planes and their crystallized sizes. High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) provided detailed information about the nanocomposites' structure, size, and interplanar distances. Next, electrophoretic deposition techniques were used to deposit ZnONPs and rGO-ZnONCs nanocomposites onto Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) glass substrates. These fabricated material electrodes were further used to immobilize enzymes using physical and chemical methods. The newly fabricated UOx/ZnONPs/ITO and UOx/rGO-ZnONCs/ITO bioelectrodes showed a wide linear range from 0.005 to 1.0 mM, with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.13 µA/mM and 0.09 µA/mM, respectively. The UOx/ZnONPs/ITO bioelectrode exhibited a 25.98 µA/mM current. In comparison, the UOx/rGO-ZnONCs/ITO bioelectrode showed a higher current of 32.76 µA/mM, demonstrating its higher sensitivity and indicating the excellent electroactive nature of carbon-based materials.

Predicción de la estabilidad de voltaje en redes eléctricas inteligentes
Authors: Gil-Vera Víctor
Published: July 2024

Las redes eléctricas inteligentes son un sistema de transporte de electricidad eficiente que no afecta al medio ambiente. Una red inteligente se considera estable cuando puede mantener un funcionamiento confiable y consistente mientras gestiona de manera efectiva diversos factores que pueden provocar interrupciones o desequilibrios en ella. La estabilidad es importante, ya que todo el proceso de transmisión depende del tiempo. En este trabajo se emplea el deep learning para predecir la estabilidad en este tipo de redes. Se utilizó una base de datos balanceada y libre de 60 000 observaciones con información de consumidores y productores obtenida a partir de simulaciones. Se concluye que esta técnica obtuvo un alto desempeño (accuracy = 97,98 %), lo que permite afirmar que el deep learning se puede considerar con seguridad para esta tarea. La cantidad de épocas influyó significativamente en el desempeño de las redes neuronales artificiales (RNA): las que tenían arquitecturas más complejas presentaron un mejor accuracy.

Published: July 2024

Nos últimos anos, profissionais da conservação têm reconhecido que a sua atividade não é apenas um serviço especializado para a preservação de objetos em museus. Trata-se de uma atividade culturalmente significativa, uma atividade que implica na valoração dos objetos e que, necessariamente, afeta as pessoas que, de diferentes maneiras, entram em contato ou se relacionam com esses objetos. Por isso, alguns desses profissionais estão procurando colaborar com outros pesquisadores e distintos públicos do museu (p.ex. povos indígenas) para levar a cabo suas práticas de conservação, percebendo nesta colaboração uma possibilidade de aprendizado mútuo. Neste trabalho trataremos de uma experiência colaborativa que vivenciamos durante o processo de conservação/restauração de vasilhas cerâmicas arqueológicas musealizadas, do povo indígena Asurini.
Revistas do Museu Júlio de Castilhos e a exposição Memória e Resistência
Authors: Madeira de Melo Roberta , Possamai Zita Rosane
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo investigamos as representações sobre os povos originários presentes na Revista do Museu Júlio de Castilhos e Arquivo Histórico do Rio Grande do Sul, publicadas entre os anos de 1952 e 1958, pelo Museu Júlio de Castilhos. Também, analisamos os sentidos atribuídos Ã s revistas ao serem inseridas na exposição Memória e Resistência como documentos históricos do museu. Ainda, refletimos sobre as heranças colonialistas do museu através do conceito de colonialidade do saber e do poder e sobre as rupturas desse processo a partir de ações recentes do museu que busca descolonizar-se. Compreendemos que a exposição Memória e Resistência propôs uma crítica da colonialidade do museu por meio da exposição do conteúdo de suas revistas e ao mesmo tempo evidenciou que os povos Kaingang e Mbya-Guarani, antes compreendidos como objetos de estudo, agora, tornam-se protagonistas do processo de construção de suas próprias representações, ao participarem da elaboração da exposição.
Exibir aquilo que deveria estar oculto
Authors: Pérez Gil Laura
Published: July 2024

Em julho de 2018 foi inaugurada no Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da UFPR (MAE) a exposição Nhande Mbya Reko – Nosso jeito de ser guarani, fruto da colaboração entre o MAE e cinco comunidades guarani do litoral do Paraná. No curso do processo curatorial foi escolhido como eixo narrativo a distinção entre os objetos elaborados para a venda, voltados para o exterior, e os objetos que não devem ser vendidos, preservados no interior. Mostrar, como estratégia para o reconhecimento político, e ocultar, como mecanismo de resistência, se tornam elementos de uma tensão que emerge num contexto em que a política cultural estabelece uma conexão estreita entre autenticidade, legitimidade, visibilidade e eficácia política. No texto se exploram os procedimentos dessa experiência de curadoria compartilhada e a autonarrativa mbya guarani que resulta dela.
José Saramago, patrimônio e memória
Authors: Coelho Gislene Teixeira
Published: July 2024

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre a relação entre a literatura, as representações da memória e o desmonumento, destacando um exercício de crítica e irreverência literária em direção Ã s representações monumentais e monumentalizadas. Para tanto, vale-se de peças imponentes e monumentais do discurso histórico e mnemônico português e das obras Memorial do Convento e Viagem a Portugal, de José Saramago, que recepcionam, em igual medida e valor, a tradição monumental e histórias interditas, menorizadas e esquecidas. Salientar-se-á a herança político-ideológica dos emblemáticos anos 1940, em que identidade, memória e monumento se conjugam para fundamentar um discurso grandiloquente de nação, história e nacionalidade, com notórios eventos político-culturais a fim de preservar, honrar e perpetuar o passado português.  Como resposta a esse legado, sobretudo a partir das duas últimas décadas do século XX, a literatura portuguesa contemporânea, representada por Saramago, suspende a autoridade dos registros mnemônicos oficiais, enfrentamento o poder do discurso empreendedor da totalidade, monumentalidade e poder.

Published: July 2024

Até o final do século XX, as tecnologias da memoria se limitavam Ã  utilização de meios analógicos como suporte para a preservação e transmissão do passado. Com a crescente presença do formato digital no âmbito cultural, a gestão da memória passa a contar com a administração de arquivos numéricos e bases de dados. Nos museus e centros culturais da atualidade, o desenvolvimento veloz de tecnologias destinadas a digitalizar coleções e intermediar o contato do espectador contemporâneo com o patrimônio histórico e cultural suscita uma reconfiguração contundente, tanto nas práticas laborais, quanto nos modelos expositivos atuais. Entre diversos tipos de aparelhos digitais tecnológicos para comunicação e interatividade, a tela tátil dos telefones celulares reclama a atenção e demanda a participação do observador contemporâneo, ao mesmo tempo que gera possibilidades de contemplação e reflexão sobre o conteúdo apresentado que transcendem a materialidade do objeto.
