Published: October 2023

Harga merupakan salah satu unsur yang terdapat dalam transaksi jual beli yaitu adanya harga yang jelas dari benda yang diperjualbelikan. Oleh karena itu harga suatu produk merupakan salah satu penentu atas besarnya permintaan pasar. Demikian harga selalu menjadi ukuran apakah seseorang akan melakukan pembelian atau tidak untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Dimana sekarang ini harga sembako melonjak (naik) sebab kebutuhan pokok selalu mengalami fluktuasi harga. Ada kalanya harga mengalami kenaikan dan penurunan. Hal ini berakibat pada tinggi rendahnya permintaan dan penawaran konsumen terhadap suatu barang tertentu maupun pada proses produksi. Kenaikan harga juga disebabkan karena adanya faktor yang mempengaruhi kenaikan harga kebutuhan pokok (sembako) yaitu kelangkaan barang atau ketersediaan terbatas. Karena keperluan akan bahan pokok tersebut, para pedagang memanfaatkan dengan menjual kebutuhan bahan pokok, salah satunya adalah menjual sembako. Meskipun sebenarnya harga sembako sering mengalami ketidakstabilan harga, bahkan sering mengalami kenaikan yang disebabkan faktor-faktor tertentu.

Compliance und interne Untersuchungen im zivilprozessualen Kontext
Authors: Henke Maria
Published: October 2023

Is it possible for third parties to have recourse to any internal investigation findings in order to prove a compliance breach? The author examines the practical possibilities of introducing internal investigation findings into civil proceedings against a company and, in particular, explores the question of whether there are limits to the utilization of internal investigation findings in civil proceedings. In view of the claimant's evidentiary interests, the utilization of the findings seems obvious; however, the company's need for protection might require the assumption of a prohibition on the utilization of evidence.
Innovativität in Krisenzeiten?
Authors: Gliese Carina
Published: October 2023

Die 1970/80er Jahre waren in der Bundesrepublik durch tiefgreifende technische, wirtschaftliche, politische, gesellschaftliche sowie kulturelle Transformationsprozesse geprägt. Während sie in anderen Industrien mit Jahren der Prosperität in Verbindung gebracht werden können, bedeuteten sie für die Unterhaltungselektronikbranche einen weitgehenden Niedergang. Dieses Buch widmet sich jenem in Form einer Branchen- und Unternehmensfallstudie sowie eines historischen Vergleichs mit den damals erfolgreichen japanischen Konkurrenzunternehmen unter Hinzuziehung bisher unausgewerteter deutsch- und japanischsprachiger Quellen. Insbesondere am Beispiel der Telefunken Fernseh und Rundfunk GmbH deckt diese Pionierstudie die damaligen Anpassungsprobleme der Branche auf, indem sie die vielfältigen, miteinander verwobenen Faktoren herausarbeitet, und wirft dabei einen neuen Blick auf den vielschichtigen, interdependenten Wandlungsprozess der 1970/80er Jahre sowie seine Verortung, seinen Verlauf und seine Deutung.
A Tailored and Transdisciplinary Approach to Cochlear Implants
Authors: Hanekom Tania , Hanekom Johan , Badenhorst Werner , Baron René , le Roux Talita , Uys André
Published: October 2023

Non-auditory stimulation (NAS) is a potential complication in cochlear implants (CIs) that can impact both the effectiveness of sound transmission and the quality of life for users. This issue can often be mitigated through remedial CI device programming strategies. In some cases, the symptoms of NAS are persistent irrespective of typical audiological interventions. To develop an intervention for NAS that is tailored to the auditory system and surrounding structures of an individual CI user requires a transdisciplinary approach. This chapter proposes a model for transdisciplinary, patient-centred care of CI users who suffer from persistent NAS complications from intracochlear electrical stimulation. The model combines aspects of anatomy, radiology, computational modelling and audiology to gain an understanding of the parameters that give rise to the occurrence of NAS and to provide an avenue for investigating novel intervention strategies. Addressing unintended facial nerve stimulation by a CI is used to demonstrate the application of the model.
Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics on Constipation in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Authors: A. García-Contreras Andrea , M. Vásquez-Garibay Edgar , A. Godínez-Méndez Lucila
Published: October 2023

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder in children with cerebral palsy, which affects up to 74%. Children with cerebral palsy are at a high risk of gut dysbiosis. Prebiotics and probiotics may modulate gut microbiota and influence brain functions. Probiotics are defined as “live organisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” Prebiotics are a substrate that is selectively utilized by host microorganisms that confer a health benefit. Both probiotics and prebiotics have been shown to improve the gut microbiota and confer an improvement in the characteristics of stools such as the history of painful defecation, the presence of fecal mass in the rectum, and stool frequency in children with cerebral palsy. A strong bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and the enteric system exists, which is known as the gut-brain axis, which regulates gastrointestinal motility, gastric secretion, blood flow, gut barrier integrity, immune response, and visceral sensations. The use of probiotics and prebiotics can modulate the production of bioactive compounds that have an impact on the gut-microbiota-brain axis and brain functions in children with cerebral palsy.
The Connection between the Impacts of Desalination and the Surrounding Environment
Authors: Hussein Abouzied Adel
Published: October 2023

The background of water desalination is covered in this chapter, along with an analysis of the environmental issues the desalination industry faces and suggestions for how to address them, to close the gap between the growing demand for water for all purposes and the natural water resources’ finite availability since the early 1970s. While a few number plants established in desert locations desalinate brackish and saline groundwater, most plants built in coastal areas desalinate seawater. Desalination of water has detrimental effects on both marine and terrestrial habitats. Desalination plants also deal with issues such as corrosion, sedimentation, membrane fouling, and scale formation, the disposal of rejected brine from coastal or inland desalination facilities and its harmful impacts on the ecosystems of the marine environment and groundwater. Focus should be placed on achieving zero-brine discharge, incorporating solar-pond technology, using renewable energy sources in desalination, and supporting research and development in the field of water desalination in order to reduce the negative effects of the desalination industry on the nation. Desalination still has difficulties in managing its waste products and minimizing its energy requirements in order to avoid negative environmental effects.
High-Speed Train Traction System Reliability Analysis
Authors: Zhang Kunpeng , Jiang Bin , Chen Fuyang , Yang Hui
Published: October 2023

As the core power unit of high-speed train (HST), the diagnosis of faults in traction motor system has a significant importance on both safety and reliability, which can avoid HST crashes. According to the current problems such as early fault characteristics are not obvious and tight coupling, the reliable model with fault severity analysis and the required diagnosis accuracy cannot be achieved by current techniques. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate HST reliability through resilience enhancement strategies to ensure it can operate with higher resilience. This chapter proposes a method for evaluating the overall reliability of HST traction motors associated with the idea of system modeling and machine learning techniques. First, a novel fault severity model is proposed suitable for the normal and fault conditions. Then electromagnetic torque energy entropy coding is utilized to extract fault features and construct different feature matrixes. Resilience enhancement strategies with support vector machine models are generated from a novel gray wolf optimizer algorithm. The performance of the proposed work is validated through simulation and experimentation on a fault-testing verification platform for the HST traction system.
A Schrödinger Equation for Light
Authors: R.E. Hodgson Daniel
Published: October 2023

In this chapter we examine the quantised electromagnetic (EM) field in the context of a Schrödinger equation for single photons. For clarity we consider only a one-dimensional system. As a universal tool for calculating the time-evolution of quantum states, a Schrödinger equation must exist that describes the propagation of single photons. Being inherently relativistic, however, critical aspects of both special relativity and quantum mechanics must be combined when quantising the EM field. By taking the approach of a Schrödinger equation for localised photons, we will show how novel and previously overlooked features of the quantised EM field become a necessary part of a complete description of photon dynamics. In this chapter, I shall provide a thorough examination of new features and discuss their significance in topics such as quantum relativity and photon localisation.
Nonlinear mechanisms in passive microwave devices
Authors:   , Rocas Cantenys Eduard
Published: October 2023

The telecommunications industry follows a tendency towards smaller devices, higher power and higher frequency, which imply an increase on the complexity of the electronics involved. Moreover, there is a need for extended capabilities like frequency tunable devices, ultra-low losses or high power handling, which make use of advanced materials for these purposes. In addition, increasingly demanding communication standards and regulations push the limits of the acceptable performance degrading indicators. This is the case of nonlinearities, whose effects, like increased Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR), harmonics, or intermodulation distortion among others, are being included in the performance requirements, as maximum tolerable levels.
In this context, proper modeling of the devices at the design stage is of crucial importance in predicting not only the device performance but also the global system indicators and to make sure that the requirements are fulfilled. In accordance with that, this work proposes the necessary steps for circuit models implementation of different passive microwave devices, from the linear and nonlinear measurements to the simulations to validate them. Bulk acoustic wave resonators and transmission lines made of high temperature superconductors, ferroelectrics or regular metals and dielectrics are the subject of this work. Both phenomenological and physical approaches are considered and circuit models are proposed and compared with measurements. The nonlinear observables, being harmonics, intermodulation distortion, and saturation or detuning, are properly related to the material properties that originate them. The obtained models can be used in circuit simulators to predict the performance of these microwave devices under complex modulated signals, or even be used to predict their performance when integrated into more complex systems. A key step to achieve this goal is an accurate characterization of materials and devices, which is faced by making use of advanced measurement techniques. Therefore, considerations on special measurement setups are being made along this thesis.
Considering the Scope, History, and Sophistication of Skilled Action in Expertise
Authors: Castro Susan V. H. ,   Southwestern Philosophical Society

In his paper “Getting Sophisticated: In Favor of Hybrid Views of Skilled Action in Expertise,” Spencer Ivy (2023) argues effectively for what he calls a “sophisticated hybrid” view of expertise, driven by empirical considerations and argument from contemporary phenomenology and cognitive architecture. Here I raise three unfair objections which I think lead to some fair questions that may be productive for discussion and future work.
Հայոց ինքնուրույն թագավորության վերականգնման մտադրությունը Վարդանի և Վասակի ծրագրերում / Intention to restore the Armenian independent kingdom in the plans of Vardan and
Vasak
Authors: Ghazaryan Armen P.
Published: October 2023

The leading national idea is the idea of national unity in the fight against the enemy. Demirchyan sees it as the guarantee of the victories of the Armenian people, making it the cornerstone of the novel "Vardanank".
Demirchyan tries to present the fact of the reestablishment of the Armenian kingdom in the intentions of Vardan and Vasak, as witnessed by contemporaries, through a series of artistic images on a realistic basis, and to contrast Vardan with a worthy opponent.
Two statesmen and political figures are opposing each other, and Demirchyan clearly distinguishes the positions of Vasak and Vardan from the very beginning. One tries to win time by deceit, cunning, intrigues, agrees even to apostasy, just to save his position as governor; the other understands the essence of the political demand of the king of aryans (to renounce Christianity and adopt the Persian religion), the mortal danger of losing his homeland and freedom, assimilation and extinction of the nation.
The writer does not try to rehabilitate Vasak, he rejects the path he has chosen. Who is right, Vardan or Vasak? This question has a centuries-old history for armenians and has always been relevant. Demirchyan wrote "Vardanank" with the aim to prove that the only correct way was the way of Vardan and Vardanaids – to defend the independence of the motherland in the united national resistance, to die but not to submit to the enemy, and this aim is realised with the help of psychologically and artistically convincing images.

Dynamics and pattern formation in diffusive predator-prey models with predator-taxis
Authors: Sun Zhongyuan , Wang Jinfeng
Published: October 2023

We consider a three-species predator-prey system in which the predator has a stage structure and the prey moves to avoid the mature predator, which is called the predator-taxis. We obtain the existence and uniform-in-time boundedness of classical global solutions for the model in any dimensional bounded domain with the Neumann boundary conditions. If the attractive predator-taxis coefficient is under a critical value, the homogenerous positive steady state maintains its stability. Otherwise, the system may generate Hopf bifurcation solutions. Our results suggest that the predator-taxis amplifies the spatial heterogeneity of the three-species predator-prey system, which is different from the effect of that in two-species predator-prey systems.

Crossing limit cycles for a class of piecewise linear differential centers separated by a conic
Authors: Jimenez Johana , Llibre Jaume , Medrado Joao C.
Published: October 2023

In previous years the study of the version of Hilbert's 16th problem for piecewise linear differential systems in the plane has increased. There are many papers studying the maximum number of crossing limit cycles when the differential system is defined in two zones separated by a straight line. In particular in [11,13] it was proved that piecewise linear differential centers separated by a straight line have no crossing limit cycles. However in [14,15] it was shown that the maximum number of crossing limit cycles of piecewise linear differential centers can change depending of the shape of the discontinuity curve. In this work we study the maximum number of crossing limit cycles of piecewise linear differential centers separated by a conic.differential centers separated by a conic

Published: October 2023

In this article, we consider the existence of positive solutions for a nonlinear system of fourth-order ordinary differential equations. By constructing a single cone \(P\) in the product space \(C[0, 1] \times C[0, 1]\) and applying fixed point theorem in cones, we establish the existence of positive solutions for a system in which the nonlinear terms are both superlinear or sublinear. In addition, by the construction of the product cone \(K_1 \times K_2 \subset C[0, 1] \times C[0, 1]\) along with the product formula of fixed point theory on a product cone, we investigate the existence of positive solutions involving nonlinear terms, one uniformly superlinear or sublinear, and the other locally uniformly sublinear or superlinear.

Looking Through the American Ideal: The Politics of Violent Humor in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Authors: Etedali Navid
Published: October 2023

Huckleberry Finn is the pinnacle of American humor and the violent humor of the novel criticizes the moral values of American society. Despite the laughter-induced surface, underneath the story lies a bitter humor which attacks and ruptures different value systems. Besides the extremely violent humor, the other strategies that aid humor in fulfilling its political mission are grotesquery, and narration. The collaboration of strategic violent humor with grotesquery and narration results in the liberation of the readers from static mind-sets. Huck Finn effectively reveals the spuriousness of the American ideal despite its claims of being genuine through juxtaposition of heterogeneous characters, worlds, and lives which reveal the crudity of everyday life. To this end, humor theories of the scholars like Plaza, Walker, Cox, and Camfield and violence theories of Zizek, Schinkel, and Galtung are drawn upon in order to clarify the interconnected mechanism of humor, violence, and grotesquery in assailing putrid value systems. Deployed violent humor aligned with focalization of the novel through Huck, a naïve narrator, highlights the disparity between the American ideal and realities of life that break the readers free from opiated visions of society and gives them a clear vision, free from biased value systems.
Inocência e experiência na canção “O meu guri”, de Chico Buarque
Authors: Cabral Gladir da Silva , Toledo Cláudia Gisele Gomes de
Published: October 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma análise da canção “Meu Guri”, de Chico Buarque de Holanda, focando na tensão que há entre a inocência infantil e a experiência, ou a perda da infância, na voragem das desigualdades sociais e da violência urbana. Aponta também para a invisibilidade da mulher pobre, sua condição vulnerável diante da opressão social. A partir de referencial teórico apoiado em Adélia Meneses, bell hooks, Walter Benjamin, Grada Kilomba, Djamila Ribeiro, entre outros, a análise tenta apreender o impacto da ironia de Chico, seus recursos poéticos, seu jogo de linguagem, enquanto desfia o sofrimento patético da persona da canção. Quarenta anos se passaram e a canção não perdeu sua relevância, muito pelo contrário. Tristemente, vivemos num país em que as desigualdades sociais, a intolerância e o desrespeito à mulher e à criança apenas aumentaram. Fica valendo a denúncia do poeta, o chamado ao olhar: “Olha aí! Olha aí!”
A censura literária no Brasil e as restrições impostas a Feliz Ano Novo
Authors: Silva Fagner Costa , Dias José Alves
Published: October 2023

No século XX, a censura foi um projeto de frações da classe dominante para mistificar a realidade, impedindo que grupos divergentes contribuíssem na construção do Estado brasileiro. Esta proposta foi aceita e legitimada pelas sucessivas cartas magnas. Somente em 1988, os instrumentos restritivos sobre os crimes de opinião foram retirados, revelando o quanto a República no Brasil foi repressora. O caso da censura do livro Feliz ano novo, escrito por Rubem Fonseca, é emblemático para que se possa compreender a construção do sentimento anticomunista que se amparava na ideia de moral, tendo em vista tratar-se de um autor alinhado ao regime ditatorial de 1964, e que foi, posteriormente, acusado de subverter os mesmos princípios que combateu e imputado como destruidor dos valores tradicionais da sociedade contemporânea.
Uma voz feminina dissonante no Maranhão do século XIX
Authors: Fernandes dos Santos Marcos Antônio
Published: October 2023

Maria Firmina dos Reis, escritora maranhense do século XIX, foi uma mulher à frente de seu tempo e que rompeu muitos paradigmas, principalmente por ser mulher e se empenhar no exercício da escrita. No auge da escravidão no Brasil, escreveu e questionou sobre o sistema escravagista. Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar traços da dissonância através do discurso da escritora, nas obras Úrsula e A escrava. A metodologia utilizada é de base bibliográfica, caracterizada como análise-crítica. Para a construção teórica, utilizou-se autores como Antônio Candido, Mikhail Bakhtin, Maria Lúcia Mott, entre outros. Uma escritora negra falando sobre a escravidão, sob o viés abolicionista em pleno o século XIX, é a renovação da esperança em dias melhores e a atualização necessária aos moldes literários vigentes na época. É também o prenúncio da conquista de espaço que muitos tipos humanos não tinham e conquistaram com o passar dos tempos.
Canibalismo e literatura
Authors: Oliveira da Silva Stefan Willian , Barreto da Fonseca João
Published: October 2023

Este artigo compreende o estudo do livro Jantar Secreto (2016), de Raphael Montes, que tem como temática central o canibalismo. Buscou-se estabelecer uma relação entre o livro de Montes e o conceito de necropolítica, desenvolvido por Achille Mbembe, no sentido de ressaltar uma metáfora social da higienização, associada à ideia de necropolítica e violência. A necessária distinção entre os termos canibalismo e antropofagia também foi desenvolvida. Assim, foi possível contextualizar a obra de Montes como representativa da realidade pós-moderna, retratada em seus aspectos mais sombrios, através dos recursos narrativos hiperbólicos.
Hermann Broch sob a ótica kunderiana: Os sonâmbulos como observação da decadência dos valores na Primeira Guerra Mundial
Authors: Souza Alves da Silva Emanuelle , Aparecida Caixeta Ana Paula
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo traz a obra Os sonâmbulos (1932), de Hermann Broch, com a intenção de explorar aspectos estéticos nela contidos que revelam conhecimentos acerca da condição humana no contexto da Primeira Guerra Mundial. A partir da discussão de Milan Kundera sobre o fazer romanesco, pretende-se esboçar de que modo essa problemática é tratada como hipótese ontológica do romance brochiano, norteando o conflito que reflete a respeito da natureza e decadência dos valores ocidentais observados em tempos de guerra. A partir da teoria de Broch sobre a decadência dos valores, é possível entender de que modo a Alemanha deu abertura para o sistema totalitário nazista. Para contemplar essa reflexão, a investigação aqui proposta está norteada pela teoria da Epistemologia do romance, cujo constructo é pautado no diálogo entre filosofia e literatura.
Escravidão “um grande mal”:
Authors: Castro Pereira Danglei
Published: October 2023

O presente estudo discorre sobre a importância dos processos narrativos na representação do negro e da escravidão na obra da maranhense Maria Firmina dos Reis (1822-1917). Para tanto, tomamos como corpus específico o conto “A escrava”, publicado em 1887. Buscaremos evidenciar ainda a presença da ironia romântica como um aspecto que ocupa lugar de destaque nos procedimentos estilísticos na obra completa de Maria Firmina dos Reis (2018). Utilizamos como principal recurso teórico não apenas o conceito de ironia romântica, conforme Kierkegaard (1991), e, o de chiste, segundo Suzuki (1998), entre outros, como também procedimentos de representação literária relacionados à figura do negro escravizado na narrativa da autora em questão. É premissa deste estudo então demonstrar os aspectos estéticos da narrativa de Maria Firmina dos Reis que, entendemos, revelam as especificidades de sua obra no contexto da historiografia literária brasileira. Um desdobramento desta análise é a ampliação dos limites fixos do cânone literário brasileiro, aspecto teórico que valoriza a percepção da heterogeneidade do romantismo brasileiro e, na medida do possível, promove a contínua revisão e ampliação do cânone literário no Brasil.
Por entre rastros e restos: a memória da Guerra Colonial na ficção de António Lobo Antunes
Authors: Rommel Leonardo von Pfeil
Published: October 2023

A Guerra Colonial (1961-1974) inscreve-se na história de Portugal como uma memória traumática, uma vez que se trata de um período de tensão e ruptura da identidade coletiva da nação. Durante os treze anos de combates, o império português viveu uma relação extremamente conturbada e violenta com suas colônias ultramarinas no continente africano, sendo obrigado a combater os movimentos de independência a fim de evitar o desmembramento físico e identitário da nação. O presente ensaio analisa a representação da memória da Guerra Colonial no romance Até que as pedras se tornem mais leves que a água, publicado por António Lobo Antunes em 2017. A literatura portuguesa surgida a partir da experiência da guerra busca simbolizar, traduzir e transformar em linguagem, por meio do simbólico e das estratégias narrativas da arte, a dor, o trauma e o luto gerados pelo conflito armado que marcou toda uma geração de portugueses e africanos.

O lirismo dos desajustados: uma análise dos outsiders na peça e éramos todos thunderbirds, de Mário Bortolotto
Authors: Custódio José Sérgio , Silva Ricardo Gomes da , André Willian
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a peça E éramos todos Thunderbirds, do dramaturgo paranaense Mário Bortolotto, à luz da teoria de Howard Becker acerca dos outsiders. Tendo em mente que outsiders são aquelas pessoas que se desviam das normas de conduta da sociedade, parece-nos possível afirmar que quase todos os personagens da peça – senão todos – podem ser enquadrados como tais. Diante disto, buscaremos analisar as condutas e posicionamentos outsiders desses personagens, bem como verificar como este comportamento alheio a um modelo social padrão confere certo “lirismo marginal” ao texto estudado.
Belazarte e Ellis, seu criado pessoal: representação da relação entre classes em meio à modernização conservadora paulistana no conto “Túmulo, túmulo, túmulo”, de Mário de Andrade
Authors: Flores Jr. Wilson José
Published: October 2023

A representação da periferia de São Paulo nos anos 1920 e, sobretudo, das relações entre as classes sociais na incipiente metrópole é um aspecto central de Os contos de Belazarte, de Mário de Andrade. Nas narrativas, encontra-se a mesma fatalidade dos contos de fada, mas pelo avesso: ao invés de destinados à felicidade, à recompensa e ao restabelecimento da ordem e da justiça, em Belazarte as personagens estão como que fadadas à infelicidade, ao sofrimento e à injustiça. Vista a partir da periferia de São Paulo, a compensação moral desaparece e nenhum conforto é oferecido àquele que sofre. O narrador aponta a injustiça, reconhece-a, incomoda-se com ela, mas, ao mesmo tempo, culpa as personagens, expressando uma consciência problemática e contraditória que oscila entre reconhecer as personagens como vítimas, culpadas ou o que seja. O resultado dessa oscilação é um discurso constitutivamente ambivalente e irônico, às vezes sádico, que se compadece no mesmo movimento em que vê o sofrimento como inexorável, senão como merecido.
Entre violência e desolação: grafias do urbano na poesia portuguesa contemporânea
Authors: Lima Marleide Anchieta de
Published: October 2023

O trabalho propõe um breve estudo de um conjunto de obras poéticas produzidas em Portugal a partir dos anos 90, a fim de refletir acerca das formas de dizer e escrever as tensões da cidade e o lugar que a poesia ocupa nesse contexto. Com base em abordagens teóricocríticas que envolvam literatura, antropologia e geografia cultural, intenta-se analisar as relações entre sujeito, palavra e paisagem urbana, assim como as experiências de violência e desolação que sinalizam o desenraizamento ontológico na contemporaneidade.
Vestígios, fotografia e memória em Um copo de cólera, de Raduan Nassar
Authors: Melo Sofia Maria Pires de , Sedlmayer Sabrina
Published: October 2023

A partir da análise do capítulo “O esporro” da novela Um copo de cólera (1978), de Raduan Nassar, propõe-se uma reflexão sobre o instante em que o narrador-personagem, o chacareiro, aparenta dar-se por vencido após um violento embate verbal e físico com sua companheira, a jornalista. O personagem, em sua prostração, rememora uma fotografia familiar antiga, concentrando-se na imagem da matriarca e nas lições passadas por ela. A hipótese é a de que o rastro que a memória fotográfica lhe proporciona suscita ao chacareiro uma experiência aurática de um passado sem arestas. Foram resgatadas para o desenvolvimento crítico deste trabalho principalmente os conceitos benjaminianos de aura e rastro; as Teses VI e VII de Sobre o conceito de História (1940), conforme apresentadas por Löwy (2005) em “Aviso de incêndio”; e as contribuições dadas por Janz (2012), Gagnebin (2014) e Barthes (1984).
