Resumo O objetivo do artigo é analisar o padrão espacial e temporal e identificar indicadores socioeconômicos relacionados à razão de mortalidade materna (RMM) no Brasil de 2010 a 2020. Estudo ecológico que analisou a RMM nos municípios do Brasil, utilizando dados secundários. Para análise temporal, utilizou-se o método joinpoint. Para a identificação de aglomerados espaciais, utilizou-se estatística bayesiana, autocorrelação espacial, a técnica Getis Ord Gi* e a varredura scan. Para a identificação dos fatores associados à RMM, foram adotados modelos múltiplos de regressão não espacial e espacial. Observou-se aumento da RMM de 2019 para 2020. Houve crescimento de óbitos nas regiões Norte e Sudeste. Os clusters foram encontrados no Amazonas, Tocantins, Piauí, Maranhão, Bahia e Mato Grosso do Sul. Estão negativamente relacionados à RMM os seguintes indicadores: taxa de parto cesáreo, índice de desenvolvimento humano municipal e renda domiciliar per capita dos vulneráveis à pobreza. Embora a tendência temporal tenha se mostrado constante até 2019, a RMM apresentou crescimento no ano de início da pandemia de COVID-19 no país. A redução da MM no Brasil vai além da promoção de melhorias na assistência gravídico-puerperal, sendo fundamental focar também nos determinantes sociais do problema.
Sangue impuro: especialistas, instituições e autoridade cultural no contexto da Aids no Brasil
Authors: Gugliotti João Paulo , Schraiber Lilia Blima
Published: September 2024

Resumo Neste artigo examinamos o conceito de autoridade cultural no contexto da profissionalização/corporativização da medicina no final do século XX e seus contornos políticos e morais desde a epidemia de HIV/Aids em São Paulo. A partir de matérias jornalísticas recolhidas do jornal O Estado de São Paulo (1986-1989), buscamos dar relevo ao lugar do especialismo médico, examinando os discursos produzidos sobre a doença, no Brasil, em bases que evidenciam a emergência de atores sociais, disputas por credibilidade e a autoridade clínica sob contestação. Analisamos as narrativas públicas sobre a Aids, situando o lugar da autoridade. Argumentamos que tais discursos, no contexto do pânico sexual, não ocorriam fora de uma dinâmica de autoridade terapêutica/clínica e das normatizações próprias da profissão, que também tornavam imediatamente visível o papel dos médicos, especialistas e demais profissionais de saúde, em diálogo com a gramática moral da doença socialmente corrente. As conclusões ilustram a vinculação da medicina brasileira de fins do século com a história local-global da Aids, concentrando movimentos históricos e políticos que disputavam os sentidos científicos e morais da doença, fraturados pelo embate entre autoridades no campo científico, sanitário e clínico.

Published: September 2024

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é estimar a subnotificação da violência contra as mulheres (VCM) no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) a partir de dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS), para o Brasil e as unidades federadas (UF). Estudo ecológico utilizando o SINAN e a PNS, ambos do ano de 2019. No SINAN, foram selecionadas as notificações de casos de violências sexual, física e psicológica contra mulheres com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Na PNS, foram selecionadas as mulheres da mesma faixa etária com relato de violência psicológica, física ou sexual que tenham procurado atendimento em saúde em razão de consequência relacionada à violência vivida. Calculou-se a subnotificação do SINAN a partir da estimativa da população da PNS para o Brasil e cada UF. A subnotificação de VCM no Brasil foi de 98,5%, 75,9% e 89,4% para as violências psicológica, física e sexual, respectivamente. Os estados do Norte e Nordeste apresentaram os menores índices de notificação entre as UF. A VCM no Brasil apresenta grande subnotificação no setor saúde, demonstrando a necessidade de capacitação dos profissionais de saúde para o reconhecimento de situações de violência e conscientização da importância da notificação.
Doutores da ditadura: médicos e violação dos direitos humanos no Brasil (1964-1985)
Authors: Chevrand César Guerra , Hochman Gilberto
Published: September 2024

Resumo O artigo aborda a participação de médicos na ditadura civil militar brasileira (1964-1985) e identifica as principais formas pelas quais esses médicos contribuíram com seus conhecimentos técnicos e científicos e suas posições institucionais para a repressão aos opositores do regime. Os autores argumentam que essa colaboração não foi eventual, mas estratégica, organizada e sistemática na assessoria a interrogatórios e práticas de tortura física e psicológicas, assim como no encobrimento de violações de direitos humanos. O artigo chama a atenção para que essa colaboração de médicos com o regime autoritário transgrediu códigos de ética profissionais e as convenções internacionais de proteção e promoção dos direitos humanos, assim como o Juramento de Hipócrates. As principais fontes históricas que embasam o artigo são os documentos do Projeto Brasil Nunca Mais e do relatório final da Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV), assim como relatórios de comissões estaduais da verdade. Conclui que a exígua punição civil, criminal e profissional aos médicos envolvidos com a violência do regime, protegidos pela Lei da Anistia de 1979 e outras provisões legais, caracteriza o rompimento incompleto com os legados autoritários do passado, com consequências para o presente e o futuro da democracia brasileira.

Abstract This article aimed to historically assess the impact undergone by the Faculty of Medicine-USP when it formally supported the military regime established in Brazil from 1964 onwards and the consequences of this support in its daily life. Another objective was unearthing how this context, lived between persecution, prisons, and torture, also intervened in didactic-pedagogical actions, such as the creation of a new model of medical education in 1967, known as the Experimental Course. This course would be immediately attacked by groups that saw it as a communist stronghold and a threat to the tradition of the so-called “Casa de Arnaldo”, resulting in the closure of its activities in 1974.
Capybara ride: evidence of whole aquatic plant dispersal
Authors: Hoffmann Pedro , Adolfo Andressa , Stenert Cristina , Silva Giliandro G. , Maltchik Leonardo
Published: September 2024

Abstract: The functioning of diverse ecosystems relies on the dispersal processes facilitated by animals, known as zoochory. This ecological process is the only way in which some aquatic species can move between aquatic systems through the terrestrial matrix. Despite its paramount importance, the dispersal mechanisms involving certain vectors, such as mammals, have remained relatively poorly understood. Based on observation of capybaras Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris emerging from a wetland with various aquatic plant species attached to their fur, we hypothesized that these mammals play a crucial role in dispersing aquatic plants. We conducted a controlled experiment and confirmed that capybaras disperse two species of duckweed, Lemna valdiviana and Wolffia columbiana, through both endozoochory and epizoochory. The discovery of entire plant dispersal is noteworthy because it is not dependent on the season and does not rely on the production of specific reproductive diaspores. This study presents pioneering documentation of capybaras capacity to disperse entire plants through their gastrointestinal passage and offers further evidence of their role in epizoochory within neotropical wetlands.

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between food literacy, adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MetDiet), and anthropometric measurements. Method In this study, 551 adults were evaluated. The defining features were questioned with the questionnaire form, Short Food Literacy Questionnaire (SFLQ), and Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS). Neck circumference, waist circumference (WC) measurements, waist to height ratio (WHtR), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated. The effect of the SFLQ scores on the anthropometric measurements and MEDAS scores was evaluated with linear and binary logistic regression analysis. Results The food literacy scores were low in individuals with overweight and obesity and have risk according to the waist circumference and waist to height ratio. Individuals with high adherence to the MetDiet had high food literacy. The food literacy had the most effect on waist circumference. There was a positive relationship between the food literacy and MetDiet scores when the crude and adjusted models were compared according to age, gender, education level, marital status, and BMI. According to crude and adjusted models, food literacy was effective on strict adherence to the diet (Wald=13.446), and a 1-unit increase in the food literacy increased strict adherence to MetDiet by 1.05 times (95% CI=1.03-1.09). Conclusion The results showed positive effect of food literacy on obesity-related anthropometric measurements and MetDiet.

RESUMO O trabalho teve por objetivo estudar, por meio da técnica de soroaglutinação microscópica, a ocorrência de anticorpos para leptospira em populações de javalis, de diferentes cariótipos (2n=36, 2n=37 e 2n=38), criados em sistema semiconfinado. Foram analisadas 203 amostras de plasma sangüíneo de javalis (46 machos, 156 fêmeas e 1 intersexo) de seis municípios do Estado de São Paulo e dois do Estado do Paraná. Dessas amostras examinadas, 132 apresentaram cariótipo 2n=36, 44, 2n=37, 17, 2n=38 e 10 não foram cariotipadas, sendo uma delas de animal intersexo. Do total de animais, 43 (21,2%) foram reagentes e 160 (78,8%) não reagentes. Das 43 amostras reagentes, 25 reagiram contra o sorovar patoc, 13 contra o sorovar icterohaemorrhagiae e 5 contra o sorovar hardjo. Com relação ao sexo, 10 (21,7%) dos javalis machos e 32 (20,5%) das javalis fêmeas foram reagentes; o intersexo foi reagente. A relação entre reagentes e cariótipos mostrou que, dos 132 javalis com cariótipo 2n=36, 19 (14,4%) foram reagentes, nove (6,8%) reagiram contra o sorovar patoc, sete (5,3%) contra o icterohaemorrhagiae e três (2,3%) contra o sorovar hardjo. Dos 44 animais examinados com cariótipo 2n=37, 14 (31,8%) foram reagentes, sendo nove (20,4%) contra o sorovar patoc, quatro (9,1%) contra o icterohaemorrhagiae e um (2,3%) contra o sorovar hardjo. Das 17 amostras examinadas de javalis com cariótipo 2n=38, seis (35,3%) foram reagentes, sendo que cinco (29,4%) apresentaram anticorpos para o sorovar patoc e uma (5,9%) para o sorovar icterohaemorrhagiae. Já das 10 amostras não cariotipadas, quatro (40%) foram reagentes, sendo que duas (20%) reagiram para o sorovar patoc, uma (10%) para o sorovar icterohaemorrhagiae e uma (10%) para o sorovar hardjo. Os dados do presente trabalho não permitem associar os grupos genéticos com a susceptibilidade à infecção por leptospira, uma vez que as proporções de reagentes observadas podem estar associadas às diferenças de condições sanitárias entre os rebanhos estudados.

Hair and meanings of ethnic-racial belonging in girls' conversations
Authors: Silva Marcella de Holanda Padilha Dantas da , Pedrosa Maria Isabel
Published: September 2024

Abstract Objective Structural racism is a systemic phenomenon in Brazilian society that distributes conditions of subordination and privilege among racial groups, reinforcing the dominance of the White group. Its individual expression can be seen throughout daily interactions. Children, through immersion in the social fabric, construct their cultural identity and gradually develop a sense of belonging to an ethno-racial group. The aim of this study is to identify racialized social stereotypes about hair in conversations among girls aged 9 to 11 years old. Method Two groups were organized in a public school, each consisting of two Black and two White girls. They participated in seven video-recorded play sessions, averaging 30 minutes each. Among the toys were a Black, blonde, Oriental, and a brown-haired White doll. Results Microgenetic analysis was performed, focusing on conversation segments about ethnic-racial belonging. Conclusion It revealed racist beliefs and values underlying the meanings attributed to hair.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale applied to pregnant women in Primary Health Care. Method This is a methodological study conducted with 937 pregnant women assisted in the Family Health Strategy in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Psychometric sensitivity, construct and criterion validity, and reliability were evaluated. Results The instrument achieved adequate psychometric sensitivity (skewness < 3 and kurtosis < 7). Quality fit indicators of the model were obtained: x2/gl = 4.72, CFI = 0.89, GFI = 0.90, TLI = 0.87, RMSEA = 0.063 (90% CI = 0.059-0.067, p = 0.000). Hypothesis testing indicated associations with marital status (p = 0.036), income (p= 0.030), trimester (p < 0.001), planned pregnancy (p = 0.003), social support (p < 0.001), and family APGAR score (p < 0.001). Significant correlations (p < 0.001) with stress (r = -0.12) and depressive symptoms (r = -0.17) demonstrated divergent criterion validity. Cronbach’s α of 0.874 was recorded. Conclusion The scale showed adequate psychometric evidence for application to pregnant women in the Primary Health Care setting.

Published: September 2024

The construction industry is associated with a high consumption of non-renewable resources, such as sand, in addition to the energy demand involved in the construction processes and the use of buildings. In the search for new technologies for traditional building materials, cement mortars have been modified by replacing sand with lightweight aggregates, such as expanded vermiculite. The aim of the present study is, therefore, to analyze the flexural tensile strength of rendering mortars produced with a 1:1:6 mix ratio by volume, with 10% and 20% substitution of natural aggregate by expanded vermiculite, comparing them with a reference mixture. The experimental phase consisted of the characterization of aggregates, preparation of mortars, tests in the fresh state, and flexural tensile strength tests. Overall, the replacement of sand with expanded vermiculite increased the flexural tensile strength, enhanced the fresh-state bulk density, and reduced the consistency index. Known for contributing to improvements in thermal and acoustic insulation, reducing structural weight, among other effects, the use of vermiculite in mortars demonstrated potential based on the results, as it did not significantly impair the mechanical behavior of the mixtures.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de discutir a metodologia do desenhar na clínica com a criança proposta por Marisa Rodulfo, que debate a necessidade de tomar o grafismo em igual importância a outros modos de produção dos pacientes. Para isso, realizamos uma retomada teórica com a intenção de demonstrar as especificidades do trabalho com o material gráfico. Para debater a possibilidade de um trabalho clínico com essa metodologia, articulamos a teoria inicialmente exposta à experiência do tratamento de uma criança que através de suas produções gráficas lançava um enigma sobre seu sintoma.

O manuscrito tem o objetivo de analisar as formulações teóricas de “crise-psíquica” nas obras de Freud. O método consistiu em uma pesquisa teórica, e a coleta de dados utilizou a pesquisa bibliográfica nos 23 volumes freudianos. A primeira etapa identificou palavras que se associam à “crise-psíquica”. Foram selecionadas as palavras crise, urgência, emergência, ataque, acesso, acometimento, colapso, irrupção, eclosão, surto e etiologia. A segunda conheceu formulações teóricas de “crise-psíquica” presentes nas obras de Freud. O resultado apontou que as palavras crise e ataque representam a irrupção da angústia nas neuroses. Conclui-se que as formulações teóricas de crise e ataque são articuladas aos conceitos de trauma, angústia, fantasia e pulsão de morte para irromperem nas neuroses histéricas, fóbicas e obsessivas.
Atravessamentos ideais e “fim de análise”: algumas ponderações para a clínica psicanalítica

Published: September 2024

Neste artigo, derivado de uma pesquisa realizada a nível de mestrado, buscamos sondar possíveis “atravessamentos ideais” na clínica psicanalítica. Assim, nos remetemos à temática do "fim de análise", questionando se esta perspectiva não lançaria uma dimensão de idealidade que interferiria no horizonte das análises, indicando um caminho antecipado à própria trajetória singular. Resgatamos algumas reflexões de S. Freud sobre a finitude do processo analítico, além de nos aproximarmos das contribuições de J. Lacan, onde este tema é aprimorado e considerado parte fundamental da formação de analistas. Concluímos pensando ser imprescindível ponderar e “tensionar” as proposições teóricas, justamente para que não escorram pelas vias da idealidade.
A Systematic Review: How Is Urban Vulnerability in Fragmented European Cities Measured?
Authors: Vázquez Brage Maria Belén
Published: September 2024

Urban vulnerability defines a situation of socio‐spatial fragility that precedes exclusion and generates a growing social fragmentation in European cities. The psychosocial and multidimensional nature of urban vulnerability determines the interaction among complex socioeconomic, sociodemographic, residential, and subjective variables. The main objective of the article is to explore the comprehensive treatment of this concept within the European framework. A systematic review of the literature allowed for the analysis of over 190 published articles drawn from the Web of Science and Scopus databases from 2002 to 2024. The systematic review is grouped into three main areas: (a) theoretical support for the concept and official variables used for measuring these, (b) classification of the articles reviewed into thematic categories, and (c) identification of changes in the conceptualization and measurement of urban vulnerability. Finally, based on the reflection and review undertaken, this article proposes a conceptual basis and a battery of indicators of urban vulnerability, all of which refer to common areas of vulnerability within the European context. In particular, this proposal includes a new approach for conceptualizing and measuring urban vulnerability based on the results of this subjective review. The findings of this comparative effort form the basis for developing a systematic approach to measuring this concept key to the area of territorial sciences within the European context.

Authors: Caban Ľuboš , Marasová Daniela , Ambriško Ľubomír
Published: September 2024

The economy of material conveyance by pipe conveyors is largely affected by high costs of a conveyor belt and the support system of a conveyor. Even though the operational properties of a conveyor belt are taken into consideration, destruction of the top cover layer and punctures of the whole belt occur rather frequently. The most frequent cause of such damage to a conveyor belt is the impact load at critical sections of the transportation process. Such critical sections, where approximately 60 % of all the damage occurs, include chutes and filling stations. These sections are exposed to the elastic and plastic impact at the moment when the material of a certain weight falls down from a certain height (the maximum allowable impact height is 2.0-2.5 m). The magnitude and the direction of the impact force depend on the structural design of the chute and on the type of the support system. The present article deals with the application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) within the study of the dynamic effects developed at the impact of a load onto the impact bar.

Melatonin’s protective effect against placental transfer of Methadone in mice: An experimental study
Authors: Akbarzadeh Maryam , Ataee Ramin , Nemati Farkhondeh , Dehpouri Abbas Ali , Shaki Fatemeh
Published: September 2024

Background: Methadone is a substance widely used in the substitution treatment of opiate addiction in pregnancy. The placental transfer of methadone influences oxidative stress processes. Melatonin is a hormone with antioxidant activity.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of melatonin on oxidative stress induced by the transfer of transplacental methadone in mice.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 36 female mice (2 months old, 20 ± 2 gr) were divided into 6 groups (n = 6/each) of control, methadone (0.3 mg/kg intraperitoneal, single dose) and melatonin (2, 4, and 6 mg/kg/day gavage) were administered 30 min before methadone, and one group received melatonin alone (0.6 mg/kg with single injection). Administration for 10 consecutive days of the pregnancy period was done. After baby mice were born, all neonatal mice were killed by beheading or sacrificing after anesthesia. The liver tissues were extracted. The samples were then sent for studying oxidative stress markers such as lipid peroxidation, glutathione, and protein carbonyl contents. Also, we have used the immunohistochemistry method for apoptotic markers such as: BAX, Bcl2, and Caspase3 for assaying apoptosis.
Results: This study has shown that methadone caused a significant decrease in glutathione concentration (p = 0.035). Also, we observed a significant increase in lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl contents (p = 0.015, 0.025 respectively). However, melatonin treatment significantly inhibited oxidative stress markers (p = 0.025). Also, apoptosis assay has shown that melatonin could decrease BAX and Caspase 9 as apoptotic and increase Bcl2 as an antiapoptotic proteins (p = 0.015).
Conclusion: Our findings have shown that melatonin has a protective effect against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by the placental transfer of methadone via its antioxidant effects.

Published: September 2024

Background: Opioid analgesics like morphine and methadone are widely used for managing severe pain; however, concerns over their potential misuse and adverse effects on the brain and reproductive system are significant.
Objective: We aimed to investigate their impacts on spermatogenesis and cognitive function in male Norway rats.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 36 male Norway rats (250–300 gr, 6 months old) were divided into 6 groups: low-dose morphine, high-dose morphine, low-dose methadone, high-dose methadone, positive control (received normal saline at 5 mg/kg), and negative control (received no treatment). Morphine and methadone were administered intraperitoneally over 30 days at doses of 3 mg/kg and 7 mg/kg, respectively. Behavioral assessments evaluated anxiety, stress, and shortand long-term memory. Sperm parameters (viability, motility, morphology), hormonal analysis (testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol), and gene expressions (Tp53, CatSper1) were assessed.
Results: A significant reduction in rat weight was observed in the high-dose morphine group (p = 0.0045), while testicular weights remained unchanged. Sperm abnormalities were observed with high doses of methadone and morphine. High-dose methadone significantly reduced offspring count (p = 0.0004). Levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and estradiol varied significantly across treatment groups. Gene expression was altered in response to treatments (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Prolonged exposure to methadone and morphine resulted in memory dysfunction, chronic stress, hormonal disturbances, altered gene expression, and fertility complications. These effects were more pronounced at higher doses, highlighting the importance of careful dosage management in opioid therapy.

The Tanzanian Model for Taxing Mobile Money: Scrap it, Reform it, or Let it Be?
Authors: Wales Christopher , Niesten Hannelore
Published: September 2024

In this policy brief, we examine the approach adopted by the Government of Tanzania to taxing electronic payments, including mobile money. We start with an overview of the current framework of taxation for electronic payments and its history, and then review how the market for electronic payment services has developed since 2013, when excise duty was first applied to them. We analyse the current tax burden on electronic payments and consider how the design of the taxes that have been imposed on them measures up against a number of criteria, including the fundamental principles of taxation and alignment with the government’s digitalisation ambitions. We offer a number of possible directions for reform, based on our conclusions, and set out the data and analysis that will be needed to evaluate them fully. We conclude with suggestions for action.
Mobilising Private Finance for Resilient Infrastructure
Authors: Devos Emelien
Published: September 2024

Drawing from publications from knowledge institutes, the grey literature and academic publications, this rapid evidence review discusses approaches with the greatest success in mobilising private finance into adaptation and resilience in the infrastructure sector in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. A large part of the literature discusses barriers to private finance mobilisation, and suggests ways to address these challenges. However, these often discuss barriers in a descriptive rather than explanatory way, sometimes confounding cause and effect. In sum, some evidence points to successful strategies to mobilise private finance for adaptation and resilience in the infrastructure sector in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. However, a large research gap remains, particularly for empirical studies. The lack of data on existing financial flows into adaptation poses a major obstacle to studying private finance mobilisation.
Evidence on Demonstration Effect of DFIs on Private Infrastructure Investment
Authors: Rahier Nick
Published: September 2024

This rapid evidence review highlights both academic and non-academic stances on how demonstration effects of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are defined and measured. It encompassed a wide spectrum of sources, including DFIs’ internal documentation, evidence syntheses, and scholarly research. It offers an examination of how DFIs define and measure demonstration effects, particularly in the context of infrastructure development, to catalyse subsequent private sector investments. Available evidence on DFI demonstration effects is presented through anecdotal case studies that shed light on the ways DFIs communicate demonstration effects and the complexities involved in measuring and attributing these effects accurately.
Civil Society Responses to Foreign Agent-Related Legislation and the Shrinking of Civic Space
Authors: Haider Huma
Published: September 2024

This review collates evidence related to foreign agent related legislation. The review notes that since the mid-2000s, a wide range of states have enacted or proposed new laws to enhance controls over domestic non-governmental organisations (NGOs). States have often accused these NGOs of promoting agendas pushed by foreign actors and representing foreign interests. The consequences of foreign funding laws and restrictions can be significant. Most directly, they limit the capacity of NGOs to operate and fulfil their missions, as many such organisations in lower-income or authoritarian states, particularly NGOs engaged in human rights and advocacy, rely on Western funding.
Fogo é um elemento migratório
Authors: Costa Leonardo José , Ribeiro Regiane Regina
Published: September 2024

A presente pesquisa propõe uma análise narrativa dos elementos fronteiriços que constituem a história da animação Elementos e o modo como o filme constrói sentidos sobre as vivências de imigrantes. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, aciona um aporte teórico que percorre as noções espaciais a respeito de fronteiras e sua relação com os fluxos migratórios, sua representação na mídia e discursos recorrentes envolvendo a construção de suas narrativas. De modo a constituir um corpus de análise, foram selecionadas oito cenas do longa, investigadas com o uso da técnica de Análise Crítica de Narrativa e organizadas em três categorias: fronteiras espaciais, culturais e abertas. Entre os principais resultados, percebeu-se a utilização do elemento água para limitar os espaços da raça imigrante a periferias, a mobilização de elementos culturais e identitários como segregadores, e a possibilidade de integração entre imigrantes e nativos por meio da convivência instigada pela ação individual de personagens das duas raças centrais da trama.

ARTE DA CAPA

Published: September 2024

Os casulos estão no imaginário coletivo como habitat de nossas transformações. Somos impulsionados por nossos desejos de mudar, transformar, melhorar e que a princípio partem das idealizações que fazemos, entretanto nem sempre esse ideal imaginado será o real. As velocidades das mudanças sociais, culturais e familiares na contemporaneidade, quase nunca são compatíveis com o tempo emocional de cada um de nós. O que ocorre em muitos casos é que, desejamos a mudança, sentimos necessidade de mudar e, no entanto, quando iniciamos o processo de transformação encontramos uma grande dificuldade em adaptarmos às novas situações apresentadas, por nos encontrarmos fixados ao passado, nas formas de nossos casulos anteriores. Eu construo casulos dentro de casulos, porque essas mudanças iniciam-se de dentro para fora e fora sempre dependerão de premissas anteriores.
REASSESSING ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING’S DIALOGUE WITH FRIEDRICH SCHILLER IN “THE DEAD PAN”
Authors: Alhas Hüseyin
Published: September 2024

Widely interpreted as Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s justification for incorporating Christian themes within poetic discourse, “The Dead Pan” offers a Christian perspective in response to Friedrich Schiller’s favourable portrayal of Ancient Greek paganism in “Gods of Greece.” The poem epitomises Victorian pietism, exemplifying the period’s religious fervour and advocating for the synthesis of Christian content in poetry to enrich the literary canon. This advocacy originates from Browning’s belief that Christianity offers superior truths and values compared to Greek paganism. However, this study proposes a reassessment of Barrett Browning’s interpretation of Schiller’s work, suggesting that she may have misconstrued his allusions to Greek mythology as a straightforward endorsement of paganism. It is crucial to recognise that Schiller’s critique of Christianity primarily condemns the exploitation of the faith by religious and secular authorities to oppress and control the populace, rather than an outright denunciation of the religion itself. By examining the genesis of “The Dead Pan” through Barrett Browning’s personal correspondence, this study illuminates her specific objectives and her responses to Schiller’s perspectives. Additionally, by contextualising “Gods of Greece” within its socio-political and theological framework, this paper demonstrates that while Browning and Schiller have divergent approaches to Ancient Greek culture and Christianity, Barrett Browning overlooks Schiller’s nuanced criticism of the misuse of religion by religious and secular authorities.
