Speech Companions: Evaluating the Effects of Musically Modulated Auditory Feedback on the Voice
Authors: Kleinberger Rébecca , Stefanakis George , Franjou Sebastian
Published: August 2019

Changing the way one hears one’s own voice, for instance by adding delay or shifting the pitch in real-time, can alter vocal qualities such as speed, pitch contour, or articulation. We created new types of auditory feedback called Speech Companions that generate live musical accompaniment to the spoken voice. Our system generates harmonized chorus effects layered on top of the speaker’s voice that change chord at each pseudo-beat detected in the spoken voice. The harmonization variations follow predeter-mined chord progressions. For the purpose of this study we generated two versions: one following a major chord progression and the other one following a minor chord progression. We conducted an evaluation of the effects of the feedback on speakers and we present initial ﬁndings assessing how different musical modulations might potentially affect the emotions and mental state of the speaker as well as semantic content of speech, and musical vocal parameters.
A Pragmatic Analysis of Some Quranic Verses in Light of Grice's Cooperative Principle
Authors: Abdulla Ismail Abdulrahaman , Majeed Suhayla H.
Published: August 2019

The present paper is an attempt to evaluate the applicability of Grice’s Co-operative Principle and Conversational Maxims, as one of the outstanding models in Pragmatics, to some selected Quranic conversations. Grice’s model is regarded as template for the flow of conversations and interactions held between people. Quran, as a Holy Text in Islam, contains many speech events, i.e., situations wherein conversations take place. In the stories narrated in Quran, there are situations in which, as the ordinary life of the human beings, participants converse with one another. In this study , the researchers examine the applicability of the conversation model of Grice to the Quranic conversations. To this end, the researchers have quoted some verses from Quran, first  in Arabic along with their translations in English , and analysed them in light of Grice’s model of conversation analysis. Findings indicate that in the Quranic conversations there are occasions where the maxims of conversation are observed and in some other cases not observed. This fact attests the universality of Grice’s model.

Authors: Sharma Hemraj , Sapkota Hari prasad , Khanal Ashish , Dhakal Omraj , Gurung Rupa
Published: August 2019

Objective: It was aimed to determine the best storage temperature for fruits to achieve the highest quality of vitamin-C and to compare vitamin C concentration between commercial fruits juices and fresh fruit juices in by using Spectrophotometry and Titrimetric method

Methods: Titration involved the redox reaction between iodine and vitamin C. As the iodine was added during the titration, the ascorbic acid was oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid, while the iodine was reduced to iodide ions. The Spectrophotometric method involved the coupling reaction of 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) dye with Vitamin C. The samples were analyzed using UV-Vis-Spectrophotometer at 521 nm.

Results: Titrimetric and spectroscopic methods were performed for fresh and marketed fruits comprising of apple, grapes, lemon, orange. The maximum amount was found in lemon and orange whereas apple and grapes contained lesser amount of Vitamin C. The stability of marketed fruit juices made up of apple, grapes, lemon, orange were analyzed by storing them on the freeze at 0 °C and 10 °C and on the hot air oven at 20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C for 72 h and estimated by both Titrimetric and Spectroscopy method. UV-Spectroscopy method showed that, at freezing condition up to 10 °C temperature, degradation was too low but when the temperature reached 50 °C the extent of degradation was more, showing 24.56% apple juice, 10.89% orange juice,12.70% grapes juice and 50% orange juice were degraded in 100 ml sample. Similar results were observed by analysing the samples with titration technique.

Conclusion: A new analytical method was developed to address the content of vitamin C in fruits consumed in the local market of Nepal along with the best possible storage of fruit juice to yield the maximum amount of nutrients.

Published: August 2019

An almost complete cranium of a gomphoterium found in Tepeticpac, Tlaxcala, was analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Petrography and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) to stablish the transformations of the bone during its burial. The analyses assessed that the bone mineral (bioapatite) had suffered modifications in mineral composition, “crystallinity index”, cell parameters and CO2 content. However, the paleohistological structure of the bone was not significantly affected, although evidence of microbial attack was found in the bone surfaces. The filling minerals of bone macro and micro porosity were also analyzed; its main filling minerals are calcite (micrite and sparite), clays, and minerals of volcanic origin.
Optimality Theory in ESL Phonology: A Practice of Final Consonant Clusters from Vietnamese L1 Speakers
Authors: Nguyen Thong Vi
Published: August 2019

The present study aims to adopt the Optimality Theory to investigate the strategies of pronouncing the final consonant clusters in English by a group of Vietnamese L1 speakers. Vietnamese is a language without the final consonant clusters; therefore, Vietnamese ESL learners tend to have different strategies to pronounce those. Seven Vietnamese graduate students were employed to record their word-list out-loud reading. Each of the consonants occurring in their pronunciation production was considered as one token to be analyzed. The result shows that Vietnamese ESL learners employ five different strategies to generate the final consonant clusters. After that, by adopting the Optimality Theory, this study provides both faithfulness constraints and markedness constraints for each strategy with the attempt to generalize the cases of the final consonant pronunciation of Vietnamese speakers. This study is significant for ESL teachers to understand how the Vietnamese language affects the ESL learners’ final sound pronunciation

The Effect of Sanctions on Cooperative Behavior: A Study on Medium Trust Individuals in the Context of Corruption
Authors: Rosiana Dewi , Djunaidi Achmad , Setyono Indun Lestari , Srisayekti Wilis
Published: August 2019

This study aims to describe the effect of sanctions (individual sanctions, collective sanctions, and absence of sanctions) on cooperative behavior of individuals with medium trust in the context of corruption. Both collective sanctions and individual sanctions, are systemic, which means sanctioning behavior is exercised not by each individual but by the system. Cooperative behavior in this context means choosing to obey rules, to reject acts of corruption and to prioritize public interests rather than the personal interests. Conversely, corruption is an uncooperative behavior to the rules, and ignores the public interest and prioritizes personal interests. Research subjects were 62 students. The Chi-Square Analysis was used to see the association between the variables and the logistic regression model was applied to describe the structure of this association. Individual sanction is recommended as punishment to medium trust individuals to promote cooperative behavior in the context of corruption. The results showed that individuals with medium trust had more cooperative behavior.

TRANSLATION AS MENTAL INTERPRETATION ACTIVITY IN LINGUISTICS AND LITERATURE
Authors: Gruschko Svitlana
Published: August 2019

In the article the phenomenon of translation is regarded as mental interpretation activity not only in linguistics, but also in literary criticism. The literary
work and its translation are most vivid guides to mental and cultural life of people,
an example of intercultural communication.
An adequate perception of non-native culture depends on communicators’
general fund of knowledge. The essential part of such fund of knowledge is native
language, and translation, being a mediator, is a means of cross-language and
cross-cultural communication. Mastering another language through literature, a
person is mastering new world and its culture.
The process of literary texts’ translation requires language creativity of the
translator, who becomes so-called “co-author” of the work. Translation activity
is a result of the interpreter’s creativity and a sort of language activity: language
units are being selected according to language units of the original text. This
kind of approach actualizes linguistic researching of real translation facts: balance between language and speech units of the translated work (i.e. translationinterpretation, author’s made-up words, or revised language peculiarities of the
characters).
The process of literary translation by itself should be considered within the
dimension of a dialogue between cultures. Such a dialogue takes place in the
frame of different national stereotypes of thinking and communicational behavior, which influences mutual understanding between the communicators with the
help of literary work being a mediator.
So, modern linguistics actualizes the research of language activities during
the process of literary work’s creating. This problem has to be studied furthermore, it can be considered as one of the central ones to be under consideration
while dealing with cultural dimension of the translation process, including the
process of solving the problems of cross-cultural communication.
ON TRANSLATING SACRED TEXTS
Authors: Derik Ilona
Published: August 2019

The presented article is aimed at elaborating the problem of translating sacred
texts in the contemporary linguistic paradigm. The main objective of the paper
consists in investigating sacred texts as the object of translation studied in accordance with the communicative and translational aspects. The results of the carried-out research have proved that there exist common strategies and techniques
of interpreting and rendering religious texts. The practical value of the research lies
in the fact that the conclusions may be applied in the translation activity.
The urgency of this paper arises from the need for global synergetic all-sided
review of sacred texts as a mental phenomenon in general and in contemporary
translation studies. The object of the work is a sacred text viewed in the aspect of
its translatability. The subject is the unique nature of sacred texts with their immanent features (coherence, cohesion and intertextuality). The immediate tasks
of the article have been predetermined by the above-mentioned objective and include respectively: the disclosure of the specifics of sacred text; the outline of the
typologically common strategies and tactics of translating sacred texts.
The methodology of this research involved the inductive and deductive methods, the method of contrastive analysis and ethnic methodological conversation
analysis. In the course of the research it has been concluded and experimentally
and statistically proved that there exist common strategies and tactics of translating
sacred texts into different languages. It has also been postulated that the pragmatic
and the expressive potential of sacred texts is preserved and rendered in translation.
The perspective is seen in reviewing this issue in different Germanic and
Slavic languages. The further research in the matter of possible cooperation of
philosophers and translators in the study of the sacred texts also seems promising.
Exploring Nurses’ Experience of Managing Attention and Mood in Post-Stroke Patients: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Wulandari Tri Suraning , Ismail Suhartini
Published: August 2019

Attention is an important aspect of cognitive development in the perspective of information processing, whereas mood is an affective aspect relating to expectations about positive or negative feelings. Decreased attention and mood in post-stroke patients can cause instability, cognitive impairment, and long-term rehabilitation. These impacts affect the patients’ activity daily living (ADL). Priority of post stroke patient care in hospital was priority on physical problem rather than psychological, social and spiritual problems. Nurses as caregivers in the hospitals  should understand in manage bio-psycho-socio-cultural-spiritual problems in post-stroke patients. This descriptive study that used a descriptive qualitative research was conducted to describe the barrier of managing attention and mood in post stroke from the perspective of nurses. This research was a pilot study using qualitative design and involved six nurses at Temanggung General Hospital, Indonesia. The data collection was carried out using in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data analyzed using inductive content analysis. Five themes emerging from data included the nurse's focus on the physical problem, lack of awareness to manage attention and mood, unavailability of early assessment for attention and mood, family participation in nursing care and lack of information about the interventions in handling attention and mood. The initial assessment of attention and mood greatly encourages nurses to provide alternative or complementary nursing that can be administered in the hospital. Nurses’ understanding of knowledge and skills are essential to prevent the impact of reduced attention and mood. The management of attention and mood should be supported by all professional health providers, and facilities in hospitals, as well as the role of the family.

Coherence of European Union Actions at the UN Human Rights Council and the Council of Europe
Authors: Boyashov Anatoly
Published: August 2019

The current methodological debates on the EU external actions at international organisations raise the issue of the EU coherence. The scholarship tends to focus on EU vertical and horizontal coherence in various policies, making the EU internal coordination central in the analysis. Neither horizontal nor vertical EU coherence leads to understanding why the EU is accused of “double standards”. Little research explores the external contestation as a pivotal matter of the EU effectiveness, performance, actorness. It appears promising to make the EU action coherent over various multilateral bodies. This paper argues that the external environment is the key element for the external coherence of the EU action at the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) and the Council of Europe (CoE). It answers the research question: how to measure external coherence in EU action at the HRC/CoE? The proposed indicators are the following: 1) coherence in references to the UN/CoE and to the EU founding treaties and pivotal documents on human rights; 2) degree of external support/contestation for the EU objectives at the HRC/CoE; 3) degree of coherence of EU external representation to the HRC/CoE; 4) degree of coherence in formulating priorities and using instruments at the HRC/CoE. The paper provides the assessment by the UN, EU and non-EU experts of the EU external coherence, which is followed by policy recommendations.

Authors: AKTÜRK Okan Murat , ÇAKIR Mikail , YILDIRIM Doğan , AKINCI Muzaffer
Published: August 2019

Aim: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common operations in general
surgery. When complicated, mortality and morbidity increases. We aimed to find
out whether use of C-reactive protein (CRP) and red cell distribution width
(RDW) may help to find out development of complications with acute  appendicitis at initial evaluation in an
emergency department. Methods: Files of the patients who underwent operations for acute
appendicitis between January 2017 and August 2017 were reviewed. Development of
complications was recorded and the patients were grouped as with and without
complications and were compared about age, sex RDW, CRP, alanine
aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. Diagnostic
efficiency of CRP and RDW on the development of complications in acute
appendicitis was investigated with regression analysis and by receiver operator
characteristic curve analysis. Results: Age, CRP and RDW were found to be significantly related to
perforation (p<0.001 for all) (Bonferoni correction), while white blood cell
(WBC), AST and ALT were found to be insignificant (p=0.052, p=0.806 and
p=0.804, respectively. There was a significant correlation between
RDW and CRP in the Spearman non-parametric correlation analysis (correlation
coefficient r=0.244 and p<0.001). There was no significant correlation of WBC to CRP and RDW.

Conclusion:
CRP and RDW are biochemical parameters that help us to identify the development
of complications in acute appencitis. CRP may be elevated in acute
appendicitis; however, it must be kept in mind to be cautious about a
potentially complicated acute appendicitis after a certain level, RDW in our
study has been found to be elevated in complicated appendicitis cases; but,
it  may not helpful to detect for
perforated or gangrenous appendicitis.

Published: August 2019

Aim: Hypertension is a major risk factor for
cardiovascular system. Recent studies showed that atherogenic index of plasma
(AIP) has a strong association with cardiovascular morbidity, all-cause
mortality, atherosclerosis and severity of coronary artery disease. It also has
a relationship with endothelial damage in hypertensive patients. With this
study we aim to investigate the association between AIP and hypertension.Methods: A total of 213 patients were enrolled
for the study. Patients with previous hypertension, nephrotic syndrome,
diabetes mellitus, hypotiroidism diagnosis, patients under statin treatment and
patients under 18 years of age were excluded. Diagnosis of hypertension and
blood pressure (BP) results were obtained with 24-hour ambulatory blood
pressure monitoring (ABPM). AIP was defined as the logarithmic transformation
of the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio.Results: Mean age of the population was 49.2
± 14.6 years and 41.8% (n=89) was male. According to 24-hour ABPM results, AIP
was positively correlated with day-time systolic blood pressure (SBP) (r=0.244,
p<0.001), day-time diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (r=0.276, p<0.001),
night-time SBP (r=0.259, p<0.001), night-time DBP (r=0.299, p<0.001),
average SBP (r=0.213, p=0.002) and average DBP (r=0.296, p<0.001). AIP was
also increased in hypertensive patients compared to normotensive subjects
(p=0.001).

Conclusion:
Results of our study showed that AIP was positively correlated with blood
pressure and statistically higher in patients with hypertension.

Authors: KILINÇ Bekir Eray , ÖÇ Yunus
Published: August 2019

Aim: The
present study was a retrospective study aiming to determine the effect of the autologous
conditioned serum (ACS) on osteoarthritis (OA); we made this analysis by
injecting it to a symmetrically involved knee.Methods: The present
study comprised 33 patients (19 females, 14 males) with 66 knees and a mean age
of 57.6±8.21 (range: 41-70). The patients included in the study
had radiologically verified bilateral grade 2-3 OA of the knee according to
Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Secondary arthritis, inflammatory
joint diseases, clinically relevant hematologic or abnormal clinical chemistry
values, joint instability, intra-articular corticosteroid injection within the
previous 6 months, history of diabetes mellitus and body mass index greater
than 30 kg/m2 were the exclusion criteria. Patients who had VAS
difference more than 2 points between their knees were excluded from the study.
ACS was injected twice a week for a total of 6
times in both knee joints for 3 weeks. The
patients were analyzed with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (no pain was
graded 0 and maximal pain was graded 10), the
Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS) (scoring ranges between 0
and 100. 0 indicates abnormally high level of knee problems, while 100
indicates a healthy knee with no problems) and
the Knee Society Score (KSS) (Of the maximum 100 points, a possible 50
points are assigned to pain, 25 points to stability, and 25 points for range of
motion) before the administration of the first
injection and again 1 year after the last injection. Results: The
pre-treatment and 1-year follow-up VAS values ​​of the patients were 7.36±0.93 (range: 5-9) and 3.27±1.23 (range: 1-6), respectively. ACS treatment showed a statistically
significant decrease in VAS score (p <0.01). Pre-treatment and 1-year
follow-up KOOS values ​​of the patients were 42.39±13.38 (range: 21-65) and 72.36±8.81 (range: 54-92), respectively. There was a
statistically significant increase in the KOOS values of the patients (p
<0.01). The pre-treatment and 1-year follow-up KSS values ​​of the patients
were 42.79±10.26 (range: 14-61) and 70.61±9.32
(range: 49-84), respectively. There was a
statistically significant increase in the KSS values of the patients (p
<0.01).

Conclusion: Intra-articular injection of ACS in patients with painful OA
leads to significant improvements in pain severity, KOOS, KSS and DCS scores. In
the light of these findings, ACS treatment may be considered as an effective
and safe alternative treatment method in osteoarthritis.

Este artigo discute o ensino de história e alteridade, centrando a análise na função do ensino de história de formar a consciência histórica. Partindo do pressuposto de que o livro didático é o principal material escolar utilizado no ensino de história, buscamos refletir acerca da natureza de seu discurso e de qual tipo de consciência histórica ele é capaz de corroborar a construção. Localizando o debate no espaço da busca por efetiva democracia, concluímos com a constatação da necessidade de superar a narrativa predominante nos livros didáticos brasileiros, já que esta nega a diversidade e igualdade étnico-racial do País.

Authors: De Fochesatto Cyanna Missaglia
Published: August 2019

: O ano de 1968 foi marcante para a sociedade brasileira, bem como para o mundo de forma geral. Assim, torna-se relevante abordar os temas relacionados às manifestações estudantis e operárias ocorridas nesse período. Os anos 60 se caracterizam pela intensa onda de reivindicações e protestos que começam a ocorrer em quase todas as partes do mundo, visando uma estrutura sócio-política mais moderna e democrática. Além disso, é um período rico em manifestações culturais e artísticas que, em conjunto, legam à sociedade novos modos de vida, de relações e de mentalidade. É intenção desse trabalho investigar as notícias referentes ao mês de maio de 1968 nas páginas do jornal gaúcho Correio do Povo, um dos periódicos de maior importância para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul desse período, analisando, assim, como foram veiculadas as notícias referentes a este tema.
O ENSINO DE HISTÓRIA EM BUSCA DE NOVAS REFERÊNCIAS: Considerações sobre o pensamento de Edgar Morin
Authors: Rodrigues André Wagner
Published: August 2019

Esse texto apresenta os resultados de pesquisa bibliográfica que teve como objeto investigar possíveis contribuições do pensamento transdisciplinar de Edgar Morin para as ciências históricas. Acreditamos, depois do estudo realizado, que suas ideias indicam um novo paradigma para se pensar a História enquanto campo de conhecimento e disciplina escolar. É notável sua preocupação em buscar na História referências para fundamentar suas análises em torno dos problemas sociais, políticos, econômicos, culturais, ecológicos, éticos e estéticos que irrompem no tempo presente. Para isso, abordaremos o que muitos estudiosos chamam de “Neo-Humanismo” no pensamento de Morin. Pensamos que suas ideias podem oferecer subsídios para se pensar em propostas curriculares e metodológicas alternativas para o ensino de História, assim como, possibilidades norteadoras de soluções para a reversão dos malefícios orquestrados pelo ritmo informacional e tecnológico da sociedade contemporânea e sua tradição educacional que separa, disjunta e compartimenta os saberes.
Um professor do sul viaja para o norte: olhares sobre o ensino e a circulação de livros didáticos de História
Authors: Da Silva Alexandra Lima
Published: August 2019

A partir da análise dos escritos de viagem do historiador e professor Rocha Pombo, busca-se problematizar os aspectos referentes à circulação de livros didáticos história e sua relação com o ensino nas décadas iniciais do século XX. Defende-se que o relato de Rocha Pombo pelo Brasil afora permite em muita medida, vislumbrar a existência de diferentes experiências de instrução pelo país evidenciando a circulação de livros didáticos e de diferentes práticas e concepções de educação no período, para além da esfera da capital tida como lócus intelectual e vitrine do progresso e da modernidade.
As Tarifas Alves Branco: entre o protecionismo e a preocupação fiscal
Authors: Barbosa Pedro Henrique Batista
Published: August 2019

Na década de 1840, o vencimento dos tratados comerciais, resgatava antigos anseios da elite política imperial: desenvolver as manufaturas no país e aumentar as receitas do Estado. Após extensos debates, diversas medidas protecionistas foram lançadas, sendo as Tarifas Alves Branco as mais importantes. As tarifas buscaram atender mais a interesses fiscais do que a pretensões industrializantes
Masculinidade e homoerotismo no Império português seiscentista: as aventuras sodomíticas do Padre Frutuoso Álvares, vigário do Matoim
Authors: Rocha Cássio Bruno de Araujo
Published: August 2019

O artigo analisa os cruzamentos entre gênero e sexualidade, problematizando a questão da sodomia em relação a uma vivência performativa da masculinidade na América portuguesa do século XVI. Usando conceitos de Judith Butler e Raweyn Connell, investigo como a masculinidade e o homoerotismo interagiram na vida do padre Frutuoso Álvares, que se confessou ao visitador Heitor Furtado de Mendonça na Primeira Visitação do Santo Ofício da Inquisição. Em meio à análise, discorro sobre as polêmicas que envolvem a categoria da sodomia, tanto em uma perspectiva teórica, abordando o debate entre as correntes essencialista e construcionista sobre a natureza do homoerotismo, da homossexualidade e da sodomia, quanto em um viés histórico, contextualizando os múltiplos significados da categoria sodomia na cultura europeia cristã até o século XVI.
Adam Smith e a sociedade comercial
Authors: Santos Pedro Henrique Soares
Published: August 2019

O presente artigo aponta as correlações entre os trabalhos de filosofia moral e de economia política de Adam Smith, intentando expor a coerência do pensamento deste filósofo. O quadro que emerge é de uma defesa das virtudes advindas de uma sociedade comercial e as soluções e remédios para seus possíveis desvios e vícios.
O momento Burke: notas para a história de um Iluminismo contra-revolucionário
Authors: Barbosa Eduardo Ubaldo
Published: August 2019

Este artigo procura apresentar, em apertada síntese, o pensamento de Edmund Burke (1729-1797) a partir do estudo das linguagens políticas e filosóficas de seu tempo, especificamente o Iluminismo britânico e a doutrina inglesa da “Antiga Constituição”. Assim, demonstrar-se-á que, seja na defesa das instituições britânicas contra as inovações revolucionárias de 1789, seja no ataque aos grandes autores do Iluminismo francês, Burke buscava enfrentar os problemas de seu tempo a partir de suas referências sociais e intelectuais. Nesse passo, ventilar-se-á a hipótese de que aquele que passou para a história como o “pai do conservadorismo” não pode ser tido, pura e simplesmente, como “um inimigo das luzes”, permitindo, ao fim e ao cabo, cogitar a existência de um “Iluminismo contra-revolucionário” forjado em uma tradição/concepção de história prestes a desaparecer com a Revolução.
Aspectos da modernização capitalista do Brasil República: relações entre os movimentos higienista e escolanovista nas primeiras décadas do século XX
Authors: Mercadante Jefferson
Published: August 2019

Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e de análise histórica das relações entre os movimentos higienista e escolanovista nas primeiras décadas do século XX com vistas a destacar as implicações para o processo de modernização capitalista do Brasil República. Nosso objetivo é descrever e analisar o papel dos movimentos de higiene e da Escola Nova no Brasil, respectivamente de controle e disciplina para a formação do homem moderno e trabalhador. Constatamos que foi em meio a esse processo que o contexto cultural dos anos 1920-1930 tornou-se a porta de acesso que a higiene mental encontrou para fazer sua história no país, enquanto a Escola Nova brasileira encontrou no higienismo o acesso à cientificidade desejada.
Presença e mobilidade Guarani no oeste paranaense: uma análise histórica
Authors: Borges Paulo Humberto Porto
Published: August 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as relações entre as atuais migrações de comunidades Guarani do oeste do Paraná e a questão religiosa. Na última década, somente nesta região do Paraná, ocorreram dezenas de deslocamentos indígenas Guarani, cada qual com sua característica própria, ainda que todos tenham sua origem no confinamento territorial de que este povo vem sendo vítima – em especial – a partir de meados do século passado. Nesse sentido, devido à completa impossibilidade de analisar de forma rigorosa cada um deles, este artigo analisará as três últimas migrações Guarani oriundas da aldeia de Ocoy, município de São Miguel do Iguaçu, sempre buscando relacionar a religiosidade Guarani e as migrações contemporâneas.
Imprensa alternativa e desbunde: o Pasquim, a contracultura e os movimentos de esquerda nos ‘Anos de Chumbo’
Authors: Besagio Natália Martins
Published: August 2019

O período denominado ‘Anos de Chumbo’ foi propício ao desenvolvimento da imprensa alternativa, responsável pela subversão dos ideais militares. Enquanto a imprensa oficial se alinhava ao poder, fazendo apologia à ideia do “Brasil, ame-o ou deixe-o”, os jornais alternativos, como O Pasquim, utilizavam-se do humor como forma de burlar a censura, sendo associados ao movimento da Contracultura e da Nova Esquerda. Diante desse panorama, o presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar os aspectos de produção da imprensa alternativa, associando-os à contracultura de maneira a indicar os pontos de aproximação e distanciamento entre os mesmos. Além disso, através de uma abordagem cultural-gramsciniana, pretende-se analisar a imprensa alternativa enquanto um movimento inserido no contexto de emergência da Nova Esquerda no Brasil.
Trânsitos políticos e intelectuais da geração 1870: um novo olhar sobre o movimento e sua relação com o repertório europeu
Authors: Couto Bruno Gontyjo do
Published: August 2019

Durante algum tempo, as análises sobre a geração político-intelectual de 1870 pautaram-se no senso comum acadêmico de que o campo do pensamento no Brasil à época constituía-se como um espaço de imitação das ideias estrangeiras. Mais recentemente, essa visão foi questionada por autores como Renato Ortiz e Ângela Alonso, que apontaram para tendências de seleção e recorte das teorias e filosofias políticas que pouco tinham a ver com uma simples imitação. Dentro desse debate, o presente trabalho pretende dar um passo além e lançar um novo olhar sobre o movimento de 1870. Acreditamos que para entendê-lo, é fundamental levar em conta os processos históricos de integração modernizadora perpetrados pela II Revolução Industrial que atingiram o continente americano em cheio, constituindo-se, assim, tanto como experiência de vida quanto como temática de estudo daquela geração. A proposta deste artigo é analisar o movimento de 1870 através desse contexto global de integração - no qual estava inserido do ponto de vista brasileiro - para, então, dar conta da construção de suas perspectivas político-intelectuais a partir de uma série de trânsitos complexos e multifacetados que foram sendo realizados com o repertório intelectual-filosófico europeu.
D. Luís da Cunha e os correios portugueses: uma leitura de passagens das Instruções políticas e do Testamento político
Authors: Salvino Romulo Valle
Published: August 2019

D. Luís da Cunha trata-se de figura ímpar na história da diplomacia luso-brasileira. É reconhecida a importância de suas ideias e trabalho tanto para a formação territorial do Brasil quanto para a configuração geopolítica da Europa do início do século XVIII. Voltou-se para as mais prementes questões de seu tempo, diante das quais posicionou-se não só por meio da ação diplomática e de um decidido apoio às ciências e às artes, mas como conselheiro de governantes. Dentre as soluções propostas por ele para o desenvolvimento do comércio e o incremento das receitas régias, encontram-se os trechos das Instruções políticas e do Testamento político relativas ao serviço postal. Este artigo visa a apresentar e a fazer uma breve análise dessas passagens, à luz de alguns apontamentos sobre a situação histórica dos correios na época.
