Authors: Aberbour Adel , Idjdarene Kassa , Tounzi Abdelmounaïm
Published: December 2020

Construction of appropriate mathematical model of plant (object to be modeled) has especially important meaning for designing controller. A reliable and good control performance requires more detailed model. Nevertheless, the latter must be established from at least two viewpoints of preciseness and compactness. In this paper, the considered plant is a self-excited induction generator (SEIG). In order to improve the accuracy, we take into consideration in the SEIG modeling: magnetic saturation phenomenon, cross saturation effect and iron losses. To our best knowledge, this is the first time that the three mentioned phenomena have been integrated into the same and single SEIG model which is presented in an inherent mathematical form. As we will see in the results, the contribution of these three phenomena in the accuracy improvement is really significant. In addition, to achieve compactness of the proposed model, a simpler configuration is obtained for the electrical equivalent circuit associated to the studied model by using Thevenin transformation. The proposed model is built in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment and used to study and analyze the performance of a SEIG under various operating point conditions. The obtained results are compared to measurements and also to the values obtained from models without the three discussed phenomena.
Simple Semi-analytical Solutions Using the Perturbation Method for Gradually Varied Flow Profile in Triangular Channels
Authors: Sanayei Hamed Reza Zarif , Nasiri Fatemeh
Published: December 2020

In hydraulic engineering, the steady non-uniform flow in a channel with the gradual changes at the water surface level is introduced as the Gradually Varied Flow (GVF). For the design of open channels, it is necessary to calculate the GVF profile along the channel flow. The GVF profile is described by a nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). Because this equation is strongly nonlinear, providing new analytical and/or semi-analytical solutions for this equation without any simplifications and/or linearizations would be necessary and helpful. In this research, the Perturbation Method (PM) is proposed to present a semi-analytical solution for solving the GVF equation in the prismatic triangular channel. A total of two cases are studied in this paper. In case 1, the Manning equation and in case 2, the Chezy equation are applied as the resistance equations. The GVF profiles in the two cases are compared with the Finite Difference Method (FDM) profiles. Also, the effect of the summation truncation in the PM is studied for these cases. The results show that by increasing the terms approximation in the PM, the GVF profile converges to the FDM profile. A reference solution for efficiency assessment of numerical techniques can be provided by presented semi-analytical solutions in this paper. Furthermore, the proposed method in this paper can be used as a new idea in providing semi-analytical solutions to other open channel works.

Authors: Ullah Nasim
Published: December 2020

Standalone DC micro-grid requires highly efficient power converters with high performance robust controllers. This research work deals with the hardware implementation of a load side buck converter and its control system integrated in a DC micro-grid system. This paper presents a novel fractional order sliding mode control (FSMC) method for voltage regulation of a buck converter feeding a constant power load. FSMC controller is derived based on the average state space model of the buck converter and its stability is verified using Lyapunov theorem. Finally, the FSMC controller is implemented using Arduino mega 2560 processor and the obtained results are compared with classical sliding mode control (SMC), proportional, integral, derivative (PID) control and fractional order PID control system (FOPID under constant and variable resistive loading.

Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law of the Institute of State and Law of the Tyumen State University, Chief Legal Counsel at Gazprom Nedra Limited Liability Company, PhD (Law), Solovyeva Natalya A.
Published: December 2020

The issues of liability of a subcontractor who, in violation of the contract, engaged subcontractors to perform the contract without the consent of the customer are considered. It is recommended that the contract specify the form of the Contractor's letter of request for approval of the subcontractor's involvement, as well as the form of the Customer's written consent/ disagreement to engage the subcontractor in order to clearly define the form in which the Contractor should receive the specified consent of the Customer. The issue of whether it is possible to hold liable a Contractor who engaged subcontractors without the consent of the Customer, if the Customer did not actually suffer losses. It is noted that the Customer's claims cannot be considered as formal in the light of the requirements of article 54.1 of the Tax code of the Russian Federation, from the content of which it follows that the Customer must exercise due diligence when choosing organizations as contractors, including as subcontractors. It is recommended to specify in the contract that each subcontractor is subject to approval, and in the article of the contract that provides for a fine for uncoordinated involvement of a subcontractor, specify that the fine is paid for each fact of involving a subcontractor in violation of the terms of the contract.

Published: December 2020

Definition of the term «offshore jurisdiction» is not set forth in the Russian law, the list of offshore jurisdictions is compiled by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, however the process and criteria, which are examined to add the jurisdiction in the list, are not formalized. Nevertheless, making a list of offshore jurisdictions is a matter of vital importance, because legal entities, registered in such zones are not entitled to use several benefits in Russia, are subject to enhanced control, their activity in specified spheres is limited. The practice of European Union blacklisting process was analyzed in the article, were scrutinized criteria for screening jurisdictions with a view to establishing an European Union list. Precisely established process and criteria makes it possible to form the list objectively, acts as a spur to foreign jurisdictions for cooperation, bringing domestic legislation in accordance with international base erosion and profit shifting requirements. Providing a legislative framework for criteria of offshore zones will lead to rising of transparency of compilation of this list, annual update of the list will allow objectively estimate the current state of foreign jurisdictions relating to the problems of tax evasion and money laundering.

Public Promise of a Reward as a Legal Fact in Civil Law
Authors:   Professor of the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the Kalmyk State University, LL.D., Professor, Ryzhenkov Anatoliy Ya.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of public promise as a legal fact. The institution of public promise of awards in the structure of the current Russian civil legislation occupies a rather uncertain position. It is shown that the mechanism described in article 1055 of the civil code of the Russian Federation in relation to the public promise of a reward is quite similar to the procedure for concluding a contract. The public promise of a reward, as presented in clause 1 of article 1055, contains all the essential terms of the contract, including its subject (action), term of performance, and price (amount of the reward). Thus, the performance of the action specified in the announcement is an acceptance, the peculiarity of which is that the obligation to pay the reward arises regardless of whether the corresponding action was performed in connection with the announcement made or independently of it (clause 4 of article 1055).

Published: December 2020

The purpose is to analyze the historical aspects of the development of scientific forecasting. Historically, the forecast originated as empirical knowledge, as evidenced by the analysis of the historical roots of the development of social relations. Scientific prerequisites for forecasting originated in the era of market-capitalist relations, since the theoretical prerequisites for forecasting were due to the intensive development of scientific and technological progress. A brief analysis of the formation of social, criminological and forensic scientific forecasting is carried out. Methodology: when writing the article, the fundamental provisions of materialist dialectics were used, as well as general and particular methods of scientific knowledge: historical, logical-philosophical, generalization, description, analysis, and others. Conclusions. Thanks to the development of forecasting, new cognitive strategies began to develop in natural science, economics, technology, as well as in the legal sphere; the predictive approach helps to reveal the incompleteness of certain scientific studies and to look differently at many modern legal system concepts. The forensic sphere of society’s life is no exception, in which all its negative manifestations are reflected in the first place. Scientific and practical significance. The article is aimed at developing a methodological basis for the development of forensic forecasting. The practical value is expressed in the analysis of the development and the current state of forecasting in forensic activities.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess social cognition in adolescents and children with epilepsy or Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) compared to typical individuals. It was verified whether the age of onset, duration and drug therapy of epileptics can influence this ability and if there is a correlation between Social Cognition, intelligence and executive functions. Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study that included a total of 125 subjects between 7 and 16 years (62 with focal epilepsy and 63 with SLD). The control group included 32 healthy subjects. Study subjects were evaluated with neuropsychological tools to evaluate executive functions (EpiTrack Junior), Social Cognition (NEPSY-II), and intelligence; a nonverbal cognitive test (Raven's Matrices) was used in subjects with Epilepsy, while WISC-IV was administered to SLDs. Results: the groups of subjects scored significantly lower than the controls in Social Cognition. The results showed a positive correlation between affect recognition scores and executive function in both groups. In patients with epilepsy the deficit in Affect Recognition appeared to be linked with early age of onset of epilepsy, long term of disease and lack of non-verbal intelligence; a high frequency of seizures, on the other hand, was related to poor performance in the Theory of Mind (ToM). In the SLD group there was no correlation between social cognition and intellectual level. Conclusions: The results of our study suggest that individuals with focal epilepsy or SLD have deficits in the recognition of facial emotions and ToM compared to their peers. In epilepsy group, the Social Cognition deficit seems to be linked to characteristics of epilepsy, particularly the deficits in the recognition of facial emotions seems linked to problems in nonverbal intelligence and in executive function. In the SLD group, however, the ability to recognize emotions was correlated only with executive functions.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) profile is examined in this article to reveal new insights. These insights might have big influence on the clinical aspect of the phenomenon. One of the interesting insights founded was the close relationship between the CAS population and Autism. Since Autism is such a high incidence phenomenon, it implicates to CAS as well. A retrospective research was conducted based on 277 entry level evaluations of children diagnosed with CAS or suspected CAS who visited a private clinic between the years 2006-2013. The analysis included speech variables along background and environmental variables. This article is dealing with the non-speech variables that enable us to observe other parts of this phenomenon. The main findings are within the areas of diagnosis, age group, educational frames, ear infections, gender, development at first year, babbling and age and speech skill. Some of the results were not as expected. Further discussion regarding every result and implication is included as well as regarding the interaction between CAS and Autism.
The origins of academic work on tourism: a European perspective
Authors: Butowski Leszek
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this article is to fill in the gap in knowledge about early academic work on tourism which had developed first of all in Europe. The author has tried to achieve this aim by conducting a retrospective analysis of chronological and institutional-methodological aspects of the evolution of tourism studies. As a result, he has distinguished two aspects (each divided into two): 1) chronological: a period of precursors and a formal academic period; 2) methodological: research within one discipline and interdisciplinary research. The results enabled the author to formulate general conclusions for critical discussion. It primarily concerns the domination of the English language and the Anglo-American tradition in the literature which is the reason why the global picture of achievements in tourism studies is incomplete and thus imperfect. The accomplishments of smaller, yet well-established, “national schools” are often ignored and remain almost unknown internationally. The author hopes that the article will be an encouragement to undertake research on early tourism studies in individual countries and to publish its results internationally as this will broaden knowledge of the origins of academic work in tourism.
Millennial backpackers and risks in travel: a typological approach
Authors: Jabłonkowska Jolanta Barbara , Stankiewicz Bogusław
Published: December 2020

In the research undertaken, the analysis categorised risk in the experience of the millennial generation of backpackers. An attempt was made to systematise it on the basis of the cognitive as well as emotional characteristics presented by the respondents. The research was conducted between 2018-2020. A non-random selection was used to acquire respondents called snowball sampling. 409 Polish millennial backpackers were found and interviewed online, and from this code keys were then extracted, assigned to meaningful categories, and thematic ranges were defined. The analysis of the collected qualitative material was used to establish a typology of risk for millennial backpacking. Analysis of the collected material on backpacking allowed five coded risk categories to be extracted. The first one was the backpacker's attitude towards travel; the second a search for autonomy and independence; the third selective calculation in terms of ‘profit and loss’, the balance determining behaviour; the fourth connected with the emotional needs of backpackers and the search for impressions; the fifth with external conditions involving risk related to environmental and cultural features of the reception area. Typological systematization of risk in backpacking allows the needs of this groups of travellers to be understood and service provision to be adapted to the requirements of a particular generation.

Authors: Tupe Rashmi S. , Bangar Nilima S. , Deshpande Prajakta A. , Gavanepatil Sanskruti A.
Published: December 2020

Background: The advanced glycation end products (AGEs) interfere with the normal functioning of the protein, alter the enzyme activity leads to the development of diabetic complications. Food is an exogenous source of AGEs. The long term processes like storing and cooking lead to an elevated level of AGEs content in them. The elevated AGEs are responsible for the generation of oxidative stress and inflammation in a cellular environment. The present study aims to determine the glycation potency of commonly consumed foods samples and evaluate the effect of various food preparation methods on glycation content and its impact on healthy erythrocytes.Methods: In this investigation from December 2017 to April 2018, Aqueous extracts of 29 food samples were tested for their glycation potency using glycation markers (fructosamine, free thiol groups, â-amyloid content, AOPP). Erythrocytes were treated with food extracts and their antioxidant indices (FRAP, catalase) were determined. Result: The result shows that protein-rich food had maximum levels of glycation as compared to carbohydrate and fat-rich food. The study indicated that cooking methods like (frying, roasting, baking and boiling) have a different effect on the glycation indices of the food. The food samples cooked by frying method had increased glycation content (p less than 0.001) and deleterious cellular effect.

Authors: Enaboifo M.A. , Adadu C.A.
Published: December 2020

Background: The demand and cost of domestic energy in Nigeria are on the increase, primarily due to the increasing human population and demand. This is compounded by desertification, increasing the cost of electricity, industrialization, lack of alternative such as solar, wind and nuclear energy.This study was conducted to compare the potential of biogas produced from anaerobic co-digestion of coconut fibre, cocoa pods, maize husk, orange peels, pineapple peels and yeast and to determine the effect of pH and retention time on biogas yield. Methods: During the experiment, five batch reactors/digesters were used. The digesters were labeled A,B,C,D, E and each replicated three times. Digester A consist of 2g of yeast, 4g of coconut fibre, digester B consist of 2g of yeast, 4g of cocoa pods, digester C consist of 2g of yeast, 4g of maize husk, digester D consist of 2g of yeast, 4g of orange peels and digester E consist of 2g of yeast, 4g of pineapple peels. The pH was determined before corking the reactors. Result: The results showed significant differences among the different substrate for biogas yield and methane component. Biodegradability of the different substrate, quality and retention time significantly affected the biogas yield in the five digesters. Digester loaded with maize husk produced significantly higher volume of biogas and methane component compared with other substrate. Increase in biogas yield for maize husk of 4g was 23.33ml with methane component of 61.78% for the 10 days hydraulic retention time. The retention time of 4, 5, 6 and 8 days significantly produced the highest volume of biogas in the other digesters. Based on the findings, maize husk and yeast blend could be a rich source of renewable energy option and would help arrest ecological disaster in addition to control of deforestation.

Published: December 2020

Background: Grape is one of the important cash crops cultivated in India. The grape bunches during growth stages are adversely affected by various biotic and abiotic factors which in turn affects the yield and quality. In addition, high usage of agrochemicals in grape cultivation increased concern over pesticide residues among consumers. Therefore, an alternative technique of fruit bagging to enhance the yield and quality as well as to minimize pest and disease infestation is emphasized. Bagging of grape bunches also aids in preventing the agrochemicals entry into the fruits. Methods: A field experiment was conducted to study the impact of fruit bagging on yield attributes in grape cv. Muscat Hamburg at Coimbatore during winter (August - December, 2018) and summer seasons (January - May, 2019). The grape clusters were covered with non-woven UV stabilized polypropylene bags of different colours viz., blue, white, yellow, red and green immediately after fruit set and were removed before harvest. The unbagged clusters were treated as control. Result: In the present study, the grape clusters covered with white colour non-woven UV stabilized polypropylene bags was found to be superior for yield attributes viz., bunch weight (255.03 g and 294.80 g), berry diameter (15.39 mm and 15.97 mm), berry weight (4.30 g and 4.85 g), pulp weight (3.88 g and 4.44 g), peel weight (0.28 g and 0.31 g) and yield per vine (7.7 kg and 8.8 kg) in both summer and winter season crops respectively. Hence, the present study emphasizes that fruit bagging improves the yield attributes in grapes.

Published: December 2020

Background: The recent market trend of Diabetic products is increasing very fast due to awareness in consumers about the benefits of the products for sound health. It is estimated that around 8-12% of the global population buys diabetic products on regular basis. Shrikhand is fermented dairy product prepared by blending chakka, a semi-solid mass obtained after draining whey from dahi, with sugar, and other ingredients. In the preparation process of both sugar and Jaggary powder, sweeteners are different. While manufacturing White Sugar, harmful chemicals like Phosphoric acid, Sulfur Dioxide, Calcium Hydroxide, Polyacrylamide and Bone Char are used. Jaggery is far better than white sugar, Jaggery is far better than white sugar, because of its nutritional significance of sucrose (C12H22O11), with traces of mineral salts, iron, and some fiber. Shrikhand is a highly refreshing and energy dense dairy dessert due to its high fat, protein and carbohydrates content. Hence, the current study aimed at evaluating the effect of Jaggery powder on the sensory quality and Nutritional quality of shrikhand in order to manage and control eating calorie-rich food like sugar increases the risk of diabetes.Method: In this study Laboratory investigation during 2019-2020 conducted. The experiment was carried out in the Department of Dairy science Research Centre, Yeshwant Mahavidyalaya Nanded, MS. To utilize jaggery powder in place of sugar, value added shrikhand prepared by replacing 45 % sugar replaced with three levels of sugar i.e. 31, 41, and 51% Jaggery powder was used and study was laid in Completely Randomized Design with three replication. The effect of all treated samples and their interaction were studied on the sensory quality of Shrikhand. Conclusion: In present investigation the effect of Jaggery powder on the sensory and nutritional quality of value added Shrikhand was studied, on the basis of sensory and chemical qualities. There was a significant difference (P less than 0.05) in overall acceptability scores observed between all treatment combinations. Higher acceptability score (7.99) indicating superior acceptability among experimental samples. The mean liking was in the following trend: SO greater than S2 greater than S1 greater than S3 .The present work showed that Shrikhand (S2) prepared with 41% Jaggery powder had more acceptable quality characteristics among all the experimental samples. The nutritional parameters were significantly (p less than 0.05) differ except protein. It is acceptable that sugar can be replaced with Jaggery powder on an equal weight basis in preparation of shrikhand.

Published: December 2020

Background: It is now proven by the rural women that they not only play a key role in the dairy farming but also have a significant role in the socio-economic development in India. Milk production in India is mainly concentrated on marginal and small farm size group in rural areas as a subsidiary occupation to agriculture sector. In addition to this, there are a number of organized dairy farms under the cooperatives milk producers’ union. In this country, the low genetic potential of the animals results in the high cost and low milk production.Methods: The present field-based survey work was carried out during the agricultural year 2017-18, by adopting purposive stratified simple random technique and data was collected with the help of pre-tested schedule from 80 rural dairy women respondents of eight villages from two blocks of Firozabad district to ascertain the determination of cost of milk production and contribution of rural women in dairying sector.Result: The profit margin can be increased by decreasing the cost of production. The contribution of household women in the net income of the farms was 55.39 and 55.01 percent in case of marginal and small farm, while the total of 274.08 mandays employment generated on the farms through the adoption of dairying activity. The present work will be a complementary contribution of dairy sector.

Authors: Tolasa Bayesa , Onto Eyob , Badeso Bushera
Published: December 2020

In Ethiopia, farmers are practicing animal husbandry under different production systems. However, the production and reproduction performance of dairy cows are very low due to the reasons such, the low genetic capacity of the indigenous cow for milk production, substandard feeding and poor health care. By considering this, the paper is aims to review the status of production, reproduction and management practices of indigenous and crossbred dairy cow. A number of research works have been done since two last decades to evaluate and improve the production and reproduction performance of indigenous and crossbred dairy cow in the country. On this basis, the average milk yield was not being exceeded 2liters per day for indigenous dairy cow. On the other hand, the average age at first service was ranged between 18.7 and 24 months for crossbred dairy cow. Further, the average age at first calving was being extended to 48.9 and 37.95 months for indigenous and crossbreed dairy cow, respectively. Regarding management practices, more farmers are using separate house for their dairy cow and they haven’t experience of record keeping in different parts of the country. Moreover, stall feeding was the primary feeding method which has been reported by many authors. Therefore, it should be emphasized to enhance improved management practices by the dairy farmers.

Latar belakang dari studi kasus ini adalah Tasawuf selama ini dikenal sebagai dimensi esoterik dalam Islam. Identifikasi tersebut sering menyebabkan tasawuf dianggap dekat dengan hal-hal yang bersifat kebatinan dan askese. Selama ini kaum sufi dipandang sebagai kelompok umat yang lebih menekankan kesalehan individual (personal) daripada kasalehan sosial. Akan tetapi berbeda dengan Tarekat Qadiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah di Indonesia justru murid-muridnya harus terjun kemasyarakat dan aktiv dalam sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode historis dalam mempersepsikan peran Tarekat di masyarakatnya. Data untuk penelitian ini dikumpulkan dengan melakukan studi observasi, wawancara, dan dokumen. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk mendekripsikan peran Tarekat Qadiriyah Wa Naqsyabandiyah terhadap kesalehan sosial masyarakat dan filantropi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan di mana ada sebuah tarekat yang justru mendorong para muridnya untuk terlibat dalam kehidupan bersama dengan masyarakat. Membuat progam filantropi yang bernama IBU BELLA yang berkerja sama dengan Rumah Zakat dan menghasilankan World Digital Philanthropy agar potensi zakat di Indonesia bisa di tingkatkan dengan menggunakan teknologi digital saat ini.(The background of this case study is that Sufism has been known as an esoteric dimension in Islam. This identification often causes Sufism to be considered close to spiritual and ascetic matters. So far, the Sufis have been seen as a group of people who emphasize individual piety (personal) rather than social piety. However, it is different from the Qadiriyah Wa Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat in Indonesia, the students have to be involved in society and be active in society. This research uses historical methods in perceiving the role of the Tarekat in society. The data for this research were collected by conducting observational studies, interviews, and documents. This study seeks to describe the role of the Qadiriyah Wa Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat on social piety and philanthropy. The results of this study show where there is a tarekat that encourages its students to be involved in life together with the community. Creating a philanthropic program called IBU BELLA which collaborates with Rumah Zakat and generates World Digital Philanthropy so that the potential for zakat in Indonesia can be increased by using current digital technology).
Para brincar com caixas pretas: desprogramando dispositivos midiáticos

No artigo proposto, passeamos por conceitos apresentados por Vilém Flusser buscando, sobretudo, os que fazem referência à liberdade dos funcionários na era dos aparelhos, atuando por entre as brechas das programações. Tentamos entender como, deste modo, a subversão das pré-determinações dos programas com os quais nos relacionamos pode ser construída enquanto prática. A ideia proposta pelo autor é que tais transgressões se tratam de um jogo de usos criativos e expansivos das mídias, bem como formas de resistência a padrões de repetição, que visam a seus próprios interesses e configuram os programas. Propomos uma aproximação teórica das colocações de Flusser, no que chamou de filosofia da fotografia, com os conceitos de Corpo sem Órgãos, de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, e os conceitos foucaultianos de dispositivo e contradispositivo, apresentados por Giorgio Agamben. Segundo Flusser, o perigo de sermos dominados pelos aparelhos está em não os desafiarmos e em não compreendermos suas linguagens. Para o filósofo, mesmo os acasos estão inscritos no programa e, por consequência, podem, em certo momento, se realizar. Contudo, o jogo está em perceber como podemos agir em função não mais apenas das probabilidades previstas pelos programas, mas também das intenções humanas que nos permitem jogar a favor das possibilidades improváveis.
Engajamento desterrado: a relação de Vilém Flusser com o Brasil
Authors: Alonso Rafael
Published: December 2020

Vilém Flusser é um pensador desenraizado. Judeu e praguense, tem a família assassinada pelos nazistas. Após um ano na Inglaterra, chega ao Brasil em 1940, onde viveria por pouco mais de três décadas. Filósofo multilíngue, faz da autotradução o seu pressuposto de pensamento, postulando que tantas são as realidades quantas forem as línguas articuláveis. Retorna à Europa em 1972 e, a partir de então, leva a vida entre palestras e conferências, sem se filiar formalmente a nenhuma instituição acadêmica. Apesar de sua biografia e filosofia desterradas, o conceito de engajamento não deixou de ser central em sua obra, sobretudo pelo tempo em que viveu no Brasil. É no Brasil que a veiculação afetiva e política a um lugar atravessa o pensamento deste filósofo apátrida, sentimento que o acompanha até o final da vida. A proposta deste artigo, a partir da leitura atenta da correspondência inédita com alguns de seus principais interlocutores, é discutir o engajamento brasileiro de Flusser. A premissa é que Flusser forjou um modelo imaginativo, ainda que sem a pretensão de formular uma “filosofia brasileira”, que pode servir de chave crítica para o entendimento do Brasil contemporâneo. As dúvidas sobre as formas de engajamento no Brasil, que atravessaram a vida de Flusser, especialmente nos anos 1970, estão colocadas à mesa novamente.
MAS AONDE FOI PARAR A SANTA DO SERTÃO, MARIA SALDANHA?: PROCURA INCESSANTE POR FIGURAS FEMININAS QUE ACAMPAM UM ÍNTIMO/MUNDO IMENSAMENTE POVOADO
Authors: Nunes João Vítor Ferreira
Published: December 2020

No século XX, em pleno sertão nordestino, eis que existiu uma flor que brotou e se adaptou à seca da região, chamada Maria Saldanha, e que logo fora reconhecida como uma mulher Santa. Ocupando um lugar de escuta entre gerações, desancorei da memória das mulheres de minha família Mulato uma história feminina, cujos ritos remontam significativos episódios de ruptura com a educação padrão para os sexos. Eis aqui um estudo que, rapidamente, afinou laços entre parentescos e destampou uma comunicação cênica pelas vias da fala/performance ao realizar uma busca incessante pela figura da Santa do Sertão, Maria Saldanha, cuja mulher sumiu no mundo ao ser humilhada e expulsa de várias terras por ir contra o patriarcado.

Este artigo discute o processo de criação coletiva nos grupos teatrais latino-americanos Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani (Peru) e Tribo de Atuadores Ói Nóis Aqui Traveiz (Brasil), com suas nuances e diferenças, como espaços de experimentação e de resistência ao pensamento único. Para ambos os grupos, criar coletivamente é uma atitude ética, comprometida com um teatro que seja necessário no tempo e no lugar em que vivemos, constituindo-se como uma prática pedagógica que forma artistas-cidadãos.
