HAK-HAK PEREMPUAN DALAM PENGARUSUTAMAAN RATIFIKASI CEDAW DAN MAQĀṢID ASY-SYARĪ‘AH
Authors: AGUSTINA ARIFAH MILLATI
Published: January 2018

A concern in the elimination of discrimination against women with special treatment is recognized by the international community. This is manifested in the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW), which aims at achieving the equality and justice. The elimination of discrimination acts as the mainstreaming of women towards the gender equality. It is even formulated as a basic need for the promotion of the human rights in the millennium development goals. This article discusses maqāṣid asy-syarī'ah with the principle of substantive equality, the principle of non-discrimination in the fulfillment of basic freedoms and human rights, and the principle of state obligation that has the responsibility to ensure the realization of the right equality of men and women using the approach of al-maṣlaḥah.[Perhatian pada penghapusan diskriminasi terhadap perempuan dengan perlakuan khusus diakui oleh dunia Internasional. Hal ini diwujudkan dalam Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Againts Women (CEDAW) yang bertujuan untuk mencapai persamaan dan keadilan. Penghapusan diskriminasi tersebut berperan sebagai pengarusutamaan perempuan menuju kesetaraan gender. Bahkan hal ini dirumuskan sebagai kebutuhan dasar pemajuan hak asasi manusia dalam millenium development goals. Tulisan ini mendiskusikan maqāṣid asy-syarī'ah dengan prinsip kesetaraan substantif, prinsip non-diskriminasi dalam pemenuhan kebebasan-kebebasan dasar dan hak asasi manusia, serta prinsip kewajiban negara yang memiliki tanggungjawab untuk memastikan terwujudnya persamaan hak laki-laki dan perempuan, dengan menggunakan pendekatan al-maṣlaḥah.]
PERAN KURSUS PRA NIKAH DALAM MEMPERSIAPKAN PASANGAN SUAMI-ISTRI MENUJU KELUARGA SAKINAH
Authors: Iskandar Zakyyah
Published: January 2018

Pre marriage course is a government effort to press the high rates of divorce, domestic violence and other family problems. The procedure for execution and materials to be delivered in pre marriage course has been set in the Regulation Director General of Islamic Guidance No. DJ.11 / 491 of 2009 about bride courses is then refined by the Regulation Director General of Islamic Guidance No. DJ.II / 542 of 2013 about Guidelines for Implementation of Pre Marriage Course. This article examines how the rules that have been set by the government assembled premarital courses in Indonesia and slightly described how the implementation of the pre marriage course in neighboring countries. Premarital course program recommendation is still not compulsory for couples who want to get married, therefore the implementation is still deemed less effective. But if the pre marriage course conducted seriously and as an obligation, it can be predicted that pre-marriage courses will serve healthful Indonesian families from the disease of violence, injustice in household and divorce and will created a harmonious family. [Kursus pra nikah merupakan upaya pemerintah dalam menekan tingginya angka perceraian, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dan problem keluarga lainnya. Tata cara pelaksanaan dan materi yang akan disampaikan dalam kursus pra nikah telah diatur dalam Peraturan Dirjen Bimas Islam No. DJ.11/491 tahun 2009 tentang Kursus Calon Pengantin yang kemudian disempurnakan dengan Peraturan Dirjen Bimas Islam No. DJ.II/542 tahun 2013 tentang Pedoman Penyelenggaraan Kursus Pra Nikah. Artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana peraturan yang telah diatur oleh pemerintah terakit kursus pra nikah di Indonesia dan sedikit mendeskripsikan bagaimana pelaksanaan kursus pranikah di negara tetangga. Program kursus pra nikah masih bersifat anjuran bukan kewajiban bagi pasangan yang ingin menikah, oleh karena itu dalam pelaksanaannya masih dirasa kurang efektif. Namun jika kursus pra nikah dilaksanakan secara serius dan sebagai suatu kewajiban, maka dapat diprediksikan bahwa kursus pra nikah akan berfungsi menyehatkan keluarga Indonesia dari penyakit kekerasan, ketidakadilan dalam rumah tangga serta perceraian dengan terbinanya keluarga sakinah.]

Published: January 2018

Patients with a chronic kidney disease encounter medical as well as psychological problems. They have to adjust to the daily changes in life as consequences of the required treatment. The need to take medication regularly, hemodialysis treatment, and reduce mobility because of limitation of physical abilities may cause distress and often impact on their self-esteem. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of self-esteem to quality of life on patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis. The study population is patients who join “Komunitas Hidup Ginjal Muda”, a community of young people with kidney disease in the social media (Facebook) which has 371 members. The incidental sampling technique was applied and resulted in 34 patients joined the study as study participants. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (version 1.3) were used to collect data. The results of product moment correlation analysis showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between self-esteem and quality of life among chronic kidney disease patients who undergo hemodialysis (r = .417; p = .014).

Published: January 2018

This is an action research that aims to identify and improve classroom management skill of six homeroom teachers in a low socio-economic elementary school. Classroom management skill is defined as teacher’s ability to create and maintain a learning environment that conducive to learning. The classroom management skill is measured using an observation-based rating scales and semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that classroom management skills were lacking among the majority of participants because they did not have sufficient knowledge about classroom management and did not understand their class’ needs. After two periods of intervention, the participants’ classroom management skill is improved. It was revealed that individual coaching is more effective than training method in improving classroom management skill. Furthermore, educational background and previous professional experience influenced participants’ classroom management skill. However, participants with the relevant educational background do not automatically master classroom management skill, unless supported with professional experience.

Predicting the NHL playoffs with PageRank
Authors: Swanson Nathan , Koban Donald , Brundage Patrick
Published: January 2018

Applying Google’s PageRank model to sports is a popular concept in contemporary sports ranking. However, there is limited evidence that rankings generated with PageRank models do well at predicting the winners of playoffs series. In this paper, we use a PageRank model to predict the outcomes of the 2008–2016 NHL playoffs. Unlike previous studies that use a uniform personalization vector, we incorporate Corsi statistics into a personalization vector, use a nine-fold cross validation to identify tuning parameters, and evaluate the prediction accuracy of the tuned model. We found our ratings had a 70% accuracy for predicting the outcome of playoff series, outperforming the Colley, Massey, Bradley-Terry, Maher, and Generalized Markov models by 5%. The implication of our results is that fitting parameter values and adding a personalization vector can lead to improved performance when using PageRank models.
Relationship between Computed Rate Constants and the Variability in Maturity-Based Strength Predictions
Authors: Lee Chang Hoon , Hover Kenneth C.
Published: January 2018

ASTM C1074-11, Standard Practice for Estimating Concrete Strength by the Maturity Method, provides instructions for applying the Nurse-Saul and Freiesleben-Hansen Pedersen maturity methods, including ways to obtain the key parameters of datum temperature (T0) or the Arrhenius activation energy (Ea). Default values are provided along with three alternative computational methods for determining a mixture-specific value of T0 or Ea from experimental data, as detailed in C1074-11 Annex A1. This paper demonstrates via examples that the accuracy of the resulting strength estimates can vary considerably depending on which of the three alternatives is selected, potentially masking the more intrinsic variability of these parameters as influenced by composition or temperature. One source of this observed variability is the statistical bias known to characterize the “double reciprocal linearization” regression technique, which is utilized in two of the three ASTM methods. While recommending the deletion of these statistically biased estimators, the authors support the more rigorous nonlinear regression method (A1.1.8.1) as well as simpler functional forms; they affirm the reasonableness of the ASTM default values for T0 and Ea.

Published: January 2018

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, and humans are severely limited in their ability to repair and regenerate central nervous system (CNS) tissue postinjury. However, zebrafish (Danio rerio) maintain the remarkable ability to undergo complete and functional neuroregeneration as an adult. We wish to extend knowledge of the known mechanisms of neuroregeneration by analyzing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in a novel adult zebrafish model of mTBI. In this study, a rodent weight drop model of mTBI was adapted to the adult zebrafish. A memory test showed significant deficits in spatial memory in the mTBI group. We identified DEGs at 3 and 21 days postinjury (dpi) through RNA-sequencing analysis. The resulting DEGs were categorized according to gene ontology (GO) categories. At 3 dpi, GO categories consisted of peak injury response pathways. Significantly, at 21 dpi, GO categories consisted of neuroregeneration pathways. Ultimately, these results validate a novel zebrafish model of mTBI and elucidate significant DEGs of interest in CNS injury and neuroregeneration.
Long-Term Visual Training Increases Visual Acuity and Long-Term Monocular Deprivation Promotes Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Adult Standard Cage-Raised Mice
Authors: Hosang Leon , Yusifov Rashad , Löwel Siegrid
Published: January 2018

For routine behavioral tasks, mice predominantly rely on olfactory cues and tactile information. In contrast, their visual capabilities appear rather restricted, raising the question whether they can improve if vision gets more behaviorally relevant. We therefore performed long-term training using the visual water task (VWT): adult standard cage (SC)-raised mice were trained to swim toward a rewarded grating stimulus so that using visual information avoided excessive swimming toward nonrewarded stimuli. Indeed, and in contrast to old mice raised in a generally enriched environment (Greifzu et al., 2016), long-term VWT training increased visual acuity (VA) on average by more than 30% to 0.82 cycles per degree (cyc/deg). In an individual animal, VA even increased to 1.49 cyc/deg, i.e., beyond the rat range of VAs. Since visual experience enhances the spatial frequency threshold of the optomotor (OPT) reflex of the open eye after monocular deprivation (MD), we also quantified monocular vision after VWT training. Monocular VA did not increase reliably, and eye reopening did not initiate a decline to pre-MD values as observed by optomotry; VA values rather increased by continued VWT training. Thus, optomotry and VWT measure different parameters of mouse spatial vision. Finally, we tested whether long-term MD induced ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the visual cortex of adult [postnatal day (P)162–P182] SC-raised mice. This was indeed the case: 40–50 days of MD induced OD shifts toward the open eye in both VWT-trained and, surprisingly, also in age-matched mice without VWT training. These data indicate that (1) long-term VWT training increases adult mouse VA, and (2) long-term MD induces OD shifts also in adult SC-raised mice.
Subthalamic Neural Activity Patterns Anticipate Economic Risk Decisions in Gambling

Published: January 2018

Economic decision-making is disrupted in individuals with gambling disorder, an addictive behavior observed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients receiving dopaminergic therapy. The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is involved in the inhibition of impulsive behaviors; however, its role in impulse control disorders and addiction is still unclear. Here, we recorded STN local field potentials (LFPs) in PD patients with and without gambling disorder during an economic decision-making task. Reaction times analysis showed that for all patients, the decision whether to risk preceded task onset. We compared then for both groups the STN LFP preceding high- and low-risk economic decisions. We found that risk avoidance in gamblers correlated with larger STN LFP low-frequency (<12-Hz) fluctuations preceding task onset. In particular, the amplitude of low-frequency LFP fluctuations carried significant information about future decisions. Decisions of patients not affected by gambling disorder were instead not correlated with pretask STN LFP. Our results suggest that STN activity preceding task onset affects risk decisions by preemptively inhibiting attraction to high but unlikely rewards in favor of a long-term payoff.
First reformulated Zagreb indices of some classes of graphs
Authors: Kaladevi V. , Murugesan R. , Pattabiraman K.
Published: January 2018

A topological index of a graph is a parameter related to the graph; it does not depend on labeling or pictorial representation of the graph. Graph operations plays a vital role to analyze the structure and properties of a large graph which is derived from the smaller graphs. The Zagreb indices are the important topological indices found to have the applications in Quantitative Structure Property Relationship(QSPR) and Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship(QSAR) studies as well. There are various study of different versions of Zagreb indices. One of the most important Zagreb indices is the reformulated Zagreb index which is used in QSPR study.

In this paper, we obtain the first reformulated Zagreb indices of some derived graphs such as double graph, extended double graph, thorn graph, subdivision vertex corona graph, subdivision graph and triangle parallel graph. In addition, we compute the first reformulated Zagreb indices of two important transformation graphs such as the generalized transformation graph and generalized Mycielskian graph.
Parabolic by Shilov systems with variable coefficients
Authors: Litovchenko V.A.
Published: January 2018

Because of the parabolic instability of the Shilov systems to change their coefficients, the definition parabolicity of Shilov for systems with time-dependent $t$ coefficients, unlike the definition parabolicity of Petrovsky, is formulated by imposing conditions on the matricant of corresponding dual by Fourier system. For parabolic systems by Petrovsky with time-dependent coefficients, these conditions are the property of a matricant, which follows directly from the definition of parabolicity. In connection with this, the question of the wealth of the class Shilov systems with time-dependent coefficients is important.A new class of linear parabolic systems with partial derivatives to the first order by the time $t$ with time-dependent coefficients is considered in this work. It covers the class by Petrovsky systems with time-dependent younger coefficients. A main part of differential expression of each such system is parabolic (by Shilov) expression with constant coefficients. The fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem for systems of this class is constructed by the Fourier transform method. Also proved their parabolicity by Shilov. Only the structure of the system and the conditions on the eigenvalues of the matrix symbol were used. First of all, this class characterizes the wealth by Shilov class of systems with time-dependents coefficients.Also it is given a general method for investigating a fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem for Shilov parabolic systems with positive genus, which is the development of the well-known method of Y.I. Zhitomirskii.
Skew semi-invariant submanifolds of generalized quasi-Sasakian manifolds
Authors: Siddiqi M.D. , Haseeb A. , Ahmad M.
Published: January 2018

In the present paper,  we study a new class of submanifolds of a generalized Quasi-Sasakian manifold, called skew semi-invariant submanifold. We obtain integrability conditions of the distributions on a skew semi-invariant submanifold and also find the condition for a skew semi-invariant submanifold  of a generalized Quasi-Sasakian manifold to be mixed totally geodesic. Also it is shown that a  skew semi-invariant submanifold of a generalized Quasi-Sasakian manifold will be anti-invariant if and only if $A_{\xi}=0$; and the submanifold will be skew semi-invariant submanifold if $\nabla w=0$. The equivalence relations for the  skew semi-invariant submanifold of a  generalized Quasi-Sasakian manifold are given. Furthermore, we have proved that a skew semi-invariant $\xi^\perp$-submanifold of a normal almost contact metric manifold and a generalized Quasi-Sasakian manifold with non-trivial invariant distribution is $CR$-manifold. An example of dimension 5 is given to show that a skew semi-invariant $\xi^\perp$ submanifold is a $CR$-structure on the manifold.

Bioética y derechos humanos: acceso humanitario a los servicios de salud, acceso a la vida y al desarrollo humano, en el pos acuerdo: ¿Qué está en juego para la Misión Médica en las regiones apartadas?
Authors: Bautista Gloria Omaira
Published: January 2018

El conflicto armado colombiano afecta los niveles de desarrollo humano. En zonas como el Catatumbo se dificulta el acceso a la atención en salud y no permite el logro de una vida digna. La misión médica, debe brindar atención en medio de eventos de conflicto.
El objetivo es ampliar la reflexión desde la declaración Universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos, en torno a los procesos de desarrollo y su contribución al ejercicio de la misión médica; en ambientes de vulnerabilidad.
Mediante revisión documental, se buscó identificar los beneficios que obtendría la Misión Médica al garantizar el acceso a los servicios de salud, en escenarios de pos acuerdo, teniendo en cuenta los elementos de la bioética, desarrollo humano y ayuda humanitaria.
Se encontró que el acceso a los servicios de salud, en situaciones de conflicto tiene carácter humanitario, mientras que el desarrollo pasa a un segundo plano y genera tensiones prolongadas caracterizadas por la desigualdad.
Se concluye que los actores humanitarios de la misión médica, deben redefinir su modelo de actuación y participar en políticas públicas encaminadas a la transformación constructiva de la violencia, desde la Declaración Universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos, hasta el surgimiento de nuevas oportunidades para el desarrollo.

Authors: Coromoto Marín Haideé , Bravo Medina Carlos Alfredo , Manjarrez Fuentes Nelly Narcisa
Published: January 2018

Se caracterizó la vulnerabilidad ambiental por inundación y desplazamiento en comunidades asentadas en la Cuenca alta del río San Pedro, municipio Guaicaipuro, estado Miranda; Venezuela usando SIG. El área de estudio se dividió en dos zonas, una ligeramente intervenida (A) y otra fuertemente intervenida (B), para obtener los mapas temáticos usados como indicadores, los cuales se estandarizaron mediante la técnica de re-clasificación asignándoles valores numéricos en una escala del 1 al 5. Los resultados muestran que la vulnerabilidad por inundación en la subcuenca siguió la siguiente tendencia: clase media (3) 33.75% > clase Baja (2) 31.91% > clase muy Baja (1) 26.86% > clase Alta (4) 6.12% > clase muy alta (5) 1.37%, no obstante las clases alta y muy alta se corresponde con comunidades cercanas al río, caracterizadas por la presencia de desarrollos urbanos, alta actividad agrícola, sugiriendo un alto riesgo por inundación. La distribución espacial de la vulnerabilidad por desplazamiento sugiere que predomina la clase media (3) y baja (2), las cuales representan el 50.58% y 36.25% respectivamente, mientras que el resto de las clase como alta (4), muy baja (1) y muy alta (5) mostraron porcentajes de 9.37, 3.29 y 0.41 respectivamente. Las clases de vulnerabilidad alta y muy alta están localizadas en el área de mayor intervención (Zona B), con un patrón muy irregular asociado a suelos con altas pendientes (>30%) y manejo de suelo con cultivos pocos protectores como las hortalizas, favoreciendo procesos de degradación e incidiendo en la sustentabilidad de la zona. Los resultados obtenidos han servido para discriminar cuales comunidades son más vulnerables y establecer prioridades en cuanto a la intervención para minimizar los impactos ambientales.

In this chapter, some aspects of coffee growth and development as well as the recent advances in the environmental physiology of growth and production are reviewed. The information deals with both Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which together account for 99% of coffee bean production worldwide. This chapter is organized into sections dealing with vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting, competition between vegetative and reproductive growth, and physiological acclimation to environmental factors including light, water and temperature.
Environmental and genetic effects on coffee seed biochemical composition and quality
Authors:   Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), France, Joët Thierry , Dussert Stéphane ,   Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), France
Published: January 2018

Reserve compounds that accumulate in coffee seeds contribute to a large extent– directly or through roasting-induced chemical reactions – to the broad spectrum of aromas and flavours of the coffee cup. Coffee seed reserves are mainly composed of cell wall polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, sucrose and secondary metabolites including chlorogenic acids, caffeine and trigonelline. Understanding coffee quality requires a detailed characterization of the metabolic pathways dedicated to the synthesis of these aroma/flavour precursors. This chapter describes the current state of knowledge on the relationships between coffee quality, seed chemical composition, and genetic and environmental effects, with a special focus on environmental regulations of coffee seed metabolic pathways. It includes a case study on coffee production on La Réunion Island and provides suggestions for further reading as well as looking ahead to future developments in coffee seed chemical composition research.
Developing varieties of Arabica coffee
Authors:   Coffee Breeding Consultant, The Netherlands, van der Vossen Herbert A. M.
Published: January 2018

About 60% of the annual world coffee production is harvested from Arabica (Coffea arabica) coffee, with the remainder harvested from Robusta (C. canephora) coffee. The former is superior in beverage quality, but more expensive to cultivate. The demand for quality coffees is steadily increasing, but anticipated climate change may jeopardize the sustainability of Arabica coffee production. This chapter reviews the achievements of several coffee research centres in conserving and evaluating genetic resources and variety development in Arabica coffee. It then discusses the main preconditions for successful next-generation variety development. These are related to genetic variation, disease and pest resistances, tolerance to abiotic stress factors, beverage quality and cost-effective mass propagation of hybrid cultivars. Breeders will have to combine classic selection methods with advanced genetic and genomic technologies in order to meet the challenge of developing resilient (hybrid) cultivars for sustainable, climate-change-tolerant Arabica coffee production.

Authors:   Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Italy, Bockel Louis , Schiettecatte Laure-Sophie ,   Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Italy
Published: January 2018

This chapter presents concepts and tools around the life cycle assessment (LCA) and carbon footprint (CFP) with their applications to the coffee value chain. Coffee is characterised by a particularly complex value chain with multiple actors involved along every step, from production to consumers. This chapter explains the concepts of life cycle analysis and the coffee value chain, and describes in detail how carbon footprint performances can be used to upgrade coffee value chains. The chapter includes a case study on use of the EX-ACT value chain tool in Haiti.
Telhado verde modular extensivo: biodiversidade e adaptação das plantas aos Blocos TEVA
Authors: Mendonça Tatyane Nadja Martins de , Melo Aluísio Braz de
Published: January 2018

Os benefícios do uso da cobertura das edificações como telhado verde já são bem conhecidos, tanto na escala do edifício quanto na escala da cidade. Para o telhado verde extensivo modular, é interessante considerar as características quanto à flexibilidade e à praticidade, na execução e manutenção. Também é notável quando se utilizam materiais que são coerentes com a proposta de sustentabilidade ambiental. Nessa perspectiva, pode-se destacar o uso de concretos leves com resíduos da indústria de calçados para produzir os módulos a receberem vegetação. Considerando-se esse tipo de telhado verde (extensivo) e tais materiais utilizados nos módulos (pré-moldados cimentícios com resíduos de EVA), apresenta-se, neste artigo um estudo que procura identificar a biodiversidade favorecida e as interações entre os módulos e os vegetais neles cultivados. O referido telhado foi executado na cobertura de uma edificação existente no laboratório e monitorado durante nove meses, na condição de clima tropical quente e úmido. Os resultados demonstraram que várias das plantas do tipo medicinais (porte herbáceo) cultivadas se adaptaram bem ao material e ao projeto do módulo, sobretudo em relação aos espaços das células nos módulos, demandando apenas uma manutenção mensal e irrigação de 3 a 4 vezes/semana, no período com baixa precipitação pluviométrica. No micro-habitat, foram encontrados vários tipos de animais (minhocas, baratas, embuás etc.) e espécies de plantas invasoras, confirmando a hipótese de que tal ambiente auxilia na manutenção da biodiversidade.
Literatura como litoral: comparar culturas, traduzir naturezas
Authors: Dayrell João Guilherme
Published: January 2018

Este trabalho demonstra como a proposição de um novo humanismo foi importante para constituição da Literatura Comparada enquanto saber disciplinar, o que permanece intocado quando Wellek e Warren criticam essa disciplina através do conceito de perspectivismo. A partir de autores como Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, entre outros, propomos outra forma de relacionar culturas, por meio do conceito de literatura-litoral, exemplificado por autores como Osman Lins e Jorge Luís Borges, e do perspectivismo ameríndio de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, uma vez que ambos extirpam o humanismo.
Estou como que sobre cartas e extravios
Authors: Kiffer Ana
Published: January 2018

Este artigo busca refletir sobre as relações entre a escrita de cartas, os processos de subjetivação e dessubjetivação e os processos de criação na cultura contemporânea, utilizando-se das experiências de Antonin Artaud e baseando-se no cenário atual de uma intervenção da artista Sophie Calle. Desenvolve-se a ideia de que as cartas ocupam essa espécie de experiência de borda do literário, mas que hoje podem ser vistas não mais, ou não exclusivamente, como testemunho da obra ou da vida, mas como insurgência do desejo de escrita e, por conseguinte, da invenção desse espaço [im]próprio ao/do literário. Para tanto, o artigo busca distinguir a noção de vida (pecuniária) da de Vida (força vital, crueldade) e a partir daí levanta a hipótese de que as cartas (cadernos e muitas vezes também os ensaios) criam e habitam essa zona de indeterminação/passagem (DELEUZE, 1993) entre a literatura/Vida e a vida.
Enrique Vila-Matas, entre legível e ilegível: uma poética em forma de ficção
Authors: Bergonzoni Gisela
Published: January 2018

Este artigo é uma análise de “Chet Baker piensa en su arte: ficción crítica”, de Enrique Vila-Matas, texto que, como frequentemente acontece na obra do autor espanhol, apresenta-se como um híbrido entre ensaio e novela. Contudo, ainda pouco visitado pelos estudos literários, esse texto tem um status especial na obra de Vila-Matas, configurando-se como uma poética em forma de ficção: o autor põe em cena um crítico que está tentando criar um novo gênero literário, uma mistura entre o que ele chama de escrita “ilegível” e “legível”. Faço uma aproximação entre esses conceitos e três binômios propostos por Roland Barthes em diferentes momentos de sua obra, em Le degré zero de l’écriture, em S/Z, e, sobretudo, em La préparation du roman. Segundo a leitura que proponho de “Chet Baker...”, em uma operação de mise-en-abyme, Vila-Matas se autofigura como o autor que realiza a obra malograda por seu narrador na novela.
