Background—

The main causes of late (>1 month) stent thrombosis (ST) are stent uncoverage, malapposition, and neoatherosclerosis. First-generation drug-eluting stents were associated with higher rate of late ST compared with bare-metal stents (BMS), especially in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction. Second-generation everolimus-eluting stents (EES) have shown similar rate of late ST than BMS. The aims of the study are to compare the ratio of uncovered to total struts per cross-section ≥30% and other optical coherence tomographic findings associated with ST between EES and BMS in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction at 5 years.

Methods and Results—

One hundred and sixty-nine consecutive event-free patients of the randomized EXAMINATION study (A Clinical Evaluation of Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stents in the Treatment of Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) were screened for optical coherence tomographic imaging at 5 years. Patients with target vessel–related events or life-threatening comorbidities were excluded. Finally, 64 patients (32 EES and 32 BMS) underwent optical coherence tomographic imaging. At 5 years, uncovered struts (4.1% versus 1.0%;
P
<0.01), length of uncoverage (3.4 versus 1.4 mm;
P
=0.02), and ratio of uncovered to total struts per cross-section ≥30% (35.5% versus 9.7%;
P
=0.02) were larger with EES than that with BMS. Malapposed struts (1.2% versus 0.3%;
P
=0.02) and malapposition length (1.3 versus 0.4 mm;
P
=0.06) were also larger with EES. Neoatherosclerotic plaques (16.1% versus 25.8%;
P
=0.35) and macrophage accumulations (19.4% versus 48.4%;
P
=0.02) were numerically more frequent with BMS.

Conclusions—

Despite substantial dropout of patients, the healing pattern in event-free ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction patients differs between EES and BMS at 5 years. EES presented with larger amount of uncovered and malapposed struts and similar rate of neoatherosclerosis as compared with BMS. The clinical relevance of these findings warrants longer follow-up.

Court and Region in Medieval China: The Case of Tang Bianzhou
Authors: DeBlasi Anthony
Published: October 2016

Although Bianzhou (modern Kaifeng) is well known as the imperial capital of the Northern Song dynasty, its history prior to the tenth century reveals much about the political fortunes of the Tang dynasty, especially after the An Lushan rebellion. A careful analysis of the backgrounds of the Military Commissioners appointed to govern the region indicates that following an initial period of instability, the Tang court was able to maintain control over this strategically vital transportation hub late into the ninth century and to repeatedly appoint commissioners who had passed the civil-service examinations. This experience helps explain the continuing optimism of Tang elites about the dynasty’s prospects and made Bianzhou itself an important example for the educated elite of why civil values were essential to good government and the survival of the Tang dynasty. 

Si Bianzhou (actuel Kaifeng) est bien connu comme capitale impériale des Song du Nord, son histoire avant le Xe siècle nous en apprend beaucoup sur le destin politique des Tang, particulièrement après la rébellion de An Lushan. L’analyse minutieuse du parcours des commissaires militaires successivement nommés à la tête de la région révèle qu’après une période initiale d’instabilité, la cour des Tang a été en mesure jusque tard dans le IXe siècle de maintenir son contrôle sur ce qui était un nœud stratégique de communications et d’y poster l’un après l’autre des commissaires passés par la voie des examens civils. L’expérience contribue à expliquer l’optimisme persistant des élites des Tang concernant l’avenir du régime, le cas de Bianzhou étant à leurs yeux un exemple important des raisons pour lesquelles les valeurs civiles demeuraient essentielles à la qualité du gouvernement et à la survie de la dynastie.
Permanent slides for morphological studies of small crustaceans: Serban’s method and its variation applied on Bathynellacea (Malacostraca)
Authors: Perina G. , Camacho A. I.
Published: October 2016

Morphological studies of small invertebrates often involve the preparation of slides to observe minute body parts under a compound microscope. Preparation should facilitate observation, through traditional optical microscopy, of small surface structures on different planes, like pores, spines and setae. Various methods and techniques, using different mounting media that specialists have adopted to observe and preserve small crustaceans, have their advantages and disadvantages. Within the order Bathynellacea, specimens in the family Bathynellidae are particularly challenging due to their small size (0.5 to 2.25 mm body length) and very delicate exoskeleton, which tends to be completely digested when using common clearing mounting media, making future consultations impossible. Permanent slides are fundamental to preserve small specimens for scientific collections, because temporary slide preparations can easily result in the loss of body parts in the passage between slide and vial and vice versa. Dr Eugene Serban worked on Bathynellacea for more than 40 years, improving the preparation and preservation of delicate specimens using a stained glycerol-jelly and double cover slip mounting technique. His method is described here with a variation that speeds up the original procedure and was implemented in most recent years by one of the authors (A.I.C.). The technique provides excellent preservation and visualization of body parts on permanent slides, which do not need curation tasks and can last for many years.
The Attitude to Poverty and the Poor in Early Rabbinic Sources (70-250 ce)
Authors: Rosenfeld B. Z. , Perlmutter H.
Published: October 2016

This research examines the attitude of rabbinic literature to poverty and the poor after the destruction of the Second Temple. In the Hebrew Bible there are instructions to care for the poor and to be compassionate toward them. However, in Wisdom literature there is also criticism of the poor depicting them as lazy. The Torah obligates the individual Jew to support the poor though tithes from the produce of the fields, giving charity and free loans, but does not advocate establishing public funds for the relief of the poor. Rabbinic literature from after the destruction of the temple shows that the rabbis advocated community responsibility for helping the poor. It shows compassion toward the poor and encourages the Jews to support them through charity. They amended religious laws in order to enable the poor to have more to consume. This seems to be a change from the way the rabbis related to the poor prior to the destruction as is depicted by the New Testament. Examination of actions attributed to sages from before the destruction shows that the rabbis related positively primarily toward poor who were “sons of good” citizens. The other poor were “others” and were left to charity and tithes. After the destruction all poor are “ours,” sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The Other Synagogues
Authors: Last Richard
Published: October 2016

This article scrutinizes the synagogue category and explores what value might be gained if it were to become inclusive of polytheistic occupational guilds comprising of Judeans and members from other ethnicities. It is argued that the traditional, narrow, understanding of ancient synagogues as ethnic-based groups functions to preserve the notion of a fixed and bounded practice of Judaism in antiquity, housed in synagogues. If this synagogue concept is allowed to persist, the insights gained from critical theory for understanding the fluidity and heterogeneity of Judean identity, ethnicity, and cult practice will be counteracted. The thirty other synagogues analyzed in this study are craft guilds that are often neglected in scholarship or classified as something other than synagogues. The act of excluding these guilds from the synagogue category falls outside of ancient linguistic practices and is at odds with the increasing insistence that synagogues from antiquity should be classified under the association genus.
Empirical Theology and Biblical Hermeneutics: Exploring Lessons for Discipleship from the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24: 13-35)
Authors: Francis Leslie J , ap Siôn Tania
Published: October 2016

This study engages the scientific approach of empirical theology with the investigation and evaluation of the reader perspective approach to biblical hermeneutics rooted in psychological type theory. By engaging participants attending the 2015 annual conference of the Institution for Socio-Biblical Studies, this empirical investigation tests whether individual psychological type preferences influence how academically-trained scholars within the field of biblical studies read, interpret and proclaim scripture. Eleven participants were invited in type-alike groups to engage in a conversation between the Lucan post-resurrection narrative concerning the Road to Emmaus journey and encounter and the contemporary theme of discipleship. The data clearly demonstrated how the distinctive voices of sensing, intuition, feeling, and thinking emerged from the ways in which academically-trained biblical scholars managed the exercise.
Security Council Referrals to the International Criminal Court as Quasi-Legislative Acts
Authors: Galand Alexandre Skander
Published: October 2016

In 1998, the international community decided to establish the first permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) with jurisdiction over persons for the most serious crimes of international concern, as referred to in the Rome Statute. As noted by many observers, some of the specific crimes within the Rome Statute are not grounded on customary international law but are more germane to treaty-based crimes. Thus, the exercise of treaty-based jurisdiction over non-party States would conflict with the principle pacta tertiis nec nocent nec prosunt. While the ICC jurisdiction is limited to crimes committed in the territory or by nationals of its States Parties, the Court may, where a situation is referred by the UN Security Council under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, exercise jurisdiction over crimes committed in the territory and by nationals of States not party to the Statute. Since the Rome Statute may go beyond existing applicable law, the referrals to the ICC are thus normative in their character. They impose new rules to be observed by any actors in the situations referred. This paper argues that this feature of a Security Council referral fits the definition of an international legislative act. The paper also inquires whether the obligation to cooperate fully with the Court arising from the Security Council resolution and the principle of complementarity require the State to modify its domestic law.

A State-Perspective View of Petition Predicament in Rural China—On Reading Governing Grass-Root China
Authors: Sun Tianshu
Published: October 2016

This paper starts by describing a subjective view on a predicament of rural petition, followed by conclusion and comments on Dr. Tian Xiaohong’s Governing Grass-root China. The first part gives a comparison on the National-Centered-Paradigm, employed by Dr. Tian in his work, and the Society-Centered-Paradigm, which is more commonly used in conventional study. A conclusion is made on the research scale and observation perspective of this book. The second part divides the logic chain of involution into three levels and throw light on three major features, including the omnipotence of government, the limitation of technical governing and the weakening of grass-root governance. The last part reviews the contribution of grass-root governance and suggests a combination of both society-centered and national-centered paradigm should be employed. The author calls for the contribution of representative democracy in rural region.
The Paradox of the Construction [V Zai NPloc and Its Meanings In The Beijing Dialect Of Mandarin
Authors: Chirkova Katia , Lamarre Christine
Published: October 2016

This article focuses on the meanings of the postverbal locative construction in the Beijing dialect of Mandarin, as attested in a spoken corpus collected in 2000-2001. We show that in contrast to Standard Mandarin, where this construction has been argued to have two meanings (durative and terminative) for verbs of posture and placement, on the one hand, and in uniformity with Beijing Mandarin texts of the late Qīng and with Northern Mandarin data, on the other, this construction in the Beijing dialect of Mandarin has only one, terminative, meaning for all verbs. We also propose an explanation for the existing exceptions to this pattern.
Formalisation Des Contraintes D'association Des Groupes Numériques Avec Spécifiques Et Noms Communs Japonais
Authors: Blin Raoul
Published: October 2016

In Japanese, as for many other languages, quantification of countable nouns is realized with numeral phrases, consisting of the numeral and the c1assifier. Each noun has a restricted set of possible c1assifiers from an inventory of approximately 100. The association between noun and classifier is threefold: It can be of either the lexical, semantic, or morphological type. This article proposes a formalization of the numeral phrase-noun association in order to analyse them with a syntactic-semantic parser. The present work is part of a larger research project on the formal syntax and semantics of Japanese numeral constructions.
PLURALITE ET RELATIONS INTERPERSONNELLES EN JAPONAIS : LES SUFFIXES NOMINAUX
Authors: Lucas Nadine , Le Nestour Patrik
Published: October 2016

The paradigm tachi domo gata rа known as plural in contemporary Japanese is examined in contrast with other suffixes with a lexical meaning of collective. It is linked to the co-occurring paradigms of personal designatives and personal suffixes of address in the light of the more general system of inter subjectivity. Starting from the description of socio-enunciativity already proposed by Le Nestour, this system is further explored and described as generating agreement in language level. The paradigm of nominal suffixes is shown to be best classified in three categories "deference", "gentleness" and "rudeness". The contrast between the functioning rules in the realm of interpersonal relations and in the realm of objective description is further assessed through the examination of collective and of the counting process. The realm and limits of the paradigm of plural suffixes is defined for each member of the paradigm. The many uses of ra are discriminated along the lines of interpersonal relations which provide a frame for further analysis of the grammar of Japanese. A glossary is provided to help with terminology.
Socrates’ Moral Impiety and its Role at the Trial: A Reading of Euthyphro 6A
Authors: Lännström Anna
Published: October 2016

Socrates was convicted of corrupting the youth and of not believing in the city’s gods. Scholars disagree about whether the main problem was religion or politics and, if religion, whether it was heterodoxy or heteropraxy, atheism or heresy. This paper focuses on an aspect of this debate, namely, the controversy about whether Socrates’ moral theology was a significant factor in the trial. It argues that while Vlastos and Burnyeat fail to show that Socrates’moral theology was a factor, the arguments for the opposing side are problematic as well. While the belief inmoral gods in itself probably was not sufficiently disturbing to result in a trial, its implications for patriotism and for divine power over humans could have been troubling enough to contribute to Socrates being brought to trial.

Lungworms: a growing threat to companion animal health
Authors: Elsheikha Hany
Published: October 2016

Our understanding of lungworm infection in dogs and cats has improved considerably over the last decade and significant progress has been made on many fronts, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of lungworm diseases. Despite this progress, lungworm infections due to Angiostrongylus vasorum (dog lungworm) and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (cat lungworm), as well as other respiratory worm species, continue to impose a significant challenge to the health and welfare of dogs and cats. Infections with some of these parasites are potentially life-threatening, and detection of infection is challenging due to the wide spectrum of clinical signs and the high frequency of subclinical infection. Current diagnostics, although very useful, are not perfect. The many ways by which lungworms can be maintained in nature create more opportunities for dogs and cats to come across the infective stages and succumb to the disease. The principal treatment for lungworm disease is the administration of effective anthelmintics to eliminate adult worms and reduce or stop larval faecal shedding, and to reduce the severity of clinical signs and lung damage. Given that already there are considerable risks to the health and welfare of dogs and cats, implementation of integrated parasite control strategies are crucial in order to mitigate the risks caused by lungworms and to improve treatment outcomes.

O componente pragmático nas definições de dicionários.
Authors: Dantas Halysson Oliveira
Published: October 2016

Este trabalho argui acerca das relações possíveis entre a Pragmática e a metalexicografia. A nosso ver esta é influenciada por aquela, no sentido de que os dicionários são essencialmente compostos por atos de fala, sobretudo, nas definições dos artigos léxicos. Assim, a partir da análise de um corpus constituído por verbetes de um dicionário eletrônico online, visamos clarear de que modo o componente pragmático funciona na microestrutura deste tipo de obra. O que nos mostram os dados analisados é que as definições dos dicionários são eivadas de atos de fala (Austin, 1962) e influenciadas pela força ilocucionária (Searle, 1969), o que reforça o caráter textual-discursivo das obras lexicográficas.Dicionário.

Combined Mixed Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer in an Obstacle Wall Mounted Lid-driven Cavity
Authors: Moein Addini M. , Gandjalikhan Nassab S. A.
Published: October 2016

This paper presents a numerical investigation for laminar mixed convection flow of a radiating gas in a lid-driven cavity with a rectangular-shaped obstacle attached on the bottom wall. The vertical walls of the square cavity are assumed to be adiabatic, while other walls of cavity and obstacle are kept at constant temperature. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The governing differential equations consisting the continuity, momentum and energy are solved numerically by the computational fluid dynamics techniques to obtain the velocity and temperature fields. Discretized forms of these equations are obtained by the finite volume method and solved using the SIMPLE algorithm. Since the gas is considered as a radiating medium, besides convection and conduction, radiative heat transfer also takes place in the gas flow. For computation of the radiative term in the gas energy equation, the radiative transfer equation is solved numerically by the discrete ordinate method. The streamline and isotherm plots and the distributions of convective, radiative and total Nusselt numbers along the bottom wall of cavity are presented. The effects of Richardson number, obstacle location, radiation–conduction parameter, optical thickness and albedo coefficient on the flow and temperature distributions are carried out. Comparison between the present numerical results with those obtained by other investigators in the cases of conduction–radiation and pure convection systems shows good consistencies.
Generalized Additive Mixed Models for intraspeaker variation
Authors: Tamminga Meredith , Ahern Christopher , Ecay Aaron
Published: October 2016

Intraspeaker sociolinguistic variation is typically characterized by repetitiveness in what choices speakers make from moment to moment, but there are multiple possible sources of such repetitiveness. We distinguish two types of temporal clustering: sequential dependence and baseline deflection. We argue that because we have independent reasons from sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics to believe both types are at play in speech production, it is desirable to adopt quantitative models that can simultaneously estimate these distinct sources of temporal clustering. We propose the use of Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) for this purpose and illustrate with a case study of DH-stopping in Philadelphia English sociolinguistic interviews. We advocate for the adoption of GAMMs to advance the use of naturalistic data for studying psycholinguistic questions about intraspeaker variation.
Emerging data on androgen receptor splice variants in prostate cancer
Authors: Cao Subing , Zhan Yang , Dong Yan
Published: October 2016

Androgen receptor splice variants are alternatively spliced variants of androgen receptor, which are C-terminally truncated and lack the canonical ligand-binding domain. Accumulating evidence has indicated a significant role of androgen receptor splice variants in mediating resistance of castration-resistant prostate cancer to current therapies and in predicting therapeutic responses. As such, there is an urgent need to target androgen receptor splicing variants for more effective treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. Identification of precise and critical targeting points to deactivate androgen receptor splicing variants relies on a deep understanding of how they are generated and the mechanisms of their action. In this review, we will focus on the emerging data on their generation, clinical significance and mechanisms of action as well as the therapeutic influence of these findings.
ENERGY-RELATED CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AGRICULTURE: COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT BENCHMARKING TECHNIQUES
Authors: Baležentis Tomas , Makutėnienė Daiva
Published: October 2016

The literature suggests different approaches towards modelling of the environmental impact caused by the production processes. The present paper attempts to establish a framework for multicriteria comparison of agricultural sectors of the European Union Member States and identify the performance gaps in terms of energy-related carbon dioxide emission. The research relies on the two approaches, viz. the by-production approach and the multi-criteria decision making approach. The environmental performance indicators were evaluated in regards to the desirable output (gross value added), inputs, and the undesirable output (carbon dioxide emission). The results indicate that Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Hungary should attempt to improve their carbon factors by implementing cleaner energy technologies. The combinations of by-production sub-indices suggest that productivity gains are more important for Sweden, Belgium, Poland, and France. Czech Republic, Latvia, and Finland are specific with low performance in terms of both the intended production and the undesirable output. The MCDM approach identified similar trends in performance as suggested by country ranking and correlation analysis.

Szczęście i radość jako rezultat kłamstwa
Authors: Wąż Paulina
Published: October 2016

Fenomen szczęścia i kłamstwa dotyczy każdego uczestnika życia publicznego. Kłamstwo jest silną pokusą, ponieważ pozwala ułatwić realizację zamierzonego celu. Emocje negatywne i pozytywne mogą sprzyjać kłamstwu lub je demaskować. Do uczuć pozytywnych sprzyjających kłamstwu należą radość i szczęście z oszukiwania innych ludzi. Na przykładzie różnych rodzajów kłamstwa ukazane zostaną próby wywołania szczęścia i radości. Kłamstwo może wywołać szczęście, które będzie pozytywną emocją spowodowaną doświadczeniami, które oceniane są przez podmiot jako pozytywne, a mogą to być np. informacje. Gdy wkraczamy w sferę wewnętrznych przeżyć jednostki, mamy także wpływ na dalszy bieg jej życia. Chociaż niektóre kłamstwa wydają się nieszkodliwe i posługujemy się nimi codziennie, to należy mieć na uwadze, że kłamstwo zawsze ma „krótkie nogi” i wyjdzie na jaw. Dlatego poprzez kłamstwo nie jest możliwe uzyskanie szczęścia jako stanu trwałego, lecz jedynie jego momentu, chwilowej poprawy humoru czy zadowolenia. Niektórzy ludzie czerpią radość z plotki, dlatego też starają się ją powielać. Inni poprzez plotkę chcą wpłynąć na swoje otoczenie, szerząc informacje niepotwierdzone, by uzyskać zamierzone reakcje ludzi. Celem referatu jest wykazanie, że trzeba mieć na uwadze dobro drugiego człowieka i pamiętać, że oczekuje od nas prawdy, darzy nas zaufaniem. Kłamstwa nadużywa się w każdej sferze życia, jednak nawet dążenie do osiągnięcia szczęścia i radości czy też maksymalizacji szczęścia poprzez kłamstwo nie może być usprawiedliwieniem dla kłamcy.

Engineers and conservation: two centuries and no progress?
Authors: Chrimes Mike
Published: October 2016

Early engineers drew heavily for exemplars on the achievements of the past. Telford’s employment as a county surveyor involved restoration of existing works. However, engineers were often accused of despoiling the existing environment; Telford himself was involved in the destruction of the precinct of St Katharine’s by the Tower of London, and there are abundant examples of railways showing scant concern for the heritage through which they passed. In contrast, engineers like Benjamin Baker and Francis Fox used their engineering skills to extend the life of threatened structures. There is frequent debate between those seeking to improve the existing infrastructure and those who want such improvements to take account of the historic engineering heritage. Recent examples include the strengthening of Brunel’s Thames tunnel and Network Rail’s improvement works in Manchester. Heritage successes are often based on a few committed individuals using their engineering knowledge to mount successful campaigns. Despite more powerful analytical tools and ever-improving monitoring technology, structures like the internationally significant Union Suspension Bridge are under threat. Some may argue it all comes down to money, but is it in part a result of engineers’ education and their lack of knowledge of their own heritage and sense of place?

Published: October 2016

This research aims to investigate to what extent students and professors at the University of Jordan use information technology in teaching and learning French. It also intends to evaluate the effect that IT tools have on the teaching/learning of this language at the Department of French at this university. The study sample was confined to (90) third-year students majoring in French. Another sample included all (8) professors in the department. The research method utilized two questionnaires, one for the professors and the other for students. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, and highlighting means and frequencies. The findings revealed that technology is used by the majority of students for such tasks as using online dictionaries, getting information for their projects and assignments and doing power point presentations. These activities play a part in developing their learning of the language. The findings also showed limitations in their interaction with native-speakers, use of social media, movies, and songs in the target language. As for the professors, the answers revealed that information technology is not often used in their courses. And when used, it is limited to e-mails or power-point presentations.

Jogo e limitação
Authors: Scheibe Fernando
Published: October 2016

Que haja jogo, que estejamos em jogo. Mas num jogo “maior”, irrestrito, cujas próprias regras também sejam postas em jogo. Este artigo aponta algumas das conseqüências político (a comunidade fundada na ausência de comunidade) – literário (a literatura como interrupção do mito) – filosóficas (a transgressão desconstrucionista da metafísica ocidental) de uma tal exigência formulada, entre outros, pelo escritor francês Georges Bataille (1896-1962).

Authors: Eggensperger Klaus
Published: October 2016

Crítica da figuração do Outro na ópera iluminista de Mozart e Schikaneder. O presente artigo investiga a Flauta Mágica como narrativa identitária, que conta da formação da subjetividade do protagonista masculino e do papel do feminino nesse processo. Além disso, as figuras do meio-selvagem branco Papageno e do malvado negro Monostatos são questionadas a partir de observações históricoculturais de uma perspectiva pós-colonial.
A propósito de Lugar
Authors: Mondragon Juan Carlos
Published: October 2016

Lugar es el último libro de relatos escrito por Juan José Saer. La comunicación, pretende explicar ese regreso puntual a la forma breve y halla explicaciones de três tipos. La primera es la posibilidad de presentar en el mismo corpus una polifonía de voces y situaciones, un acceso a espacios y tiempos que, en su diversidad, confirman la modernidad. Luego, el cuento es observado en sus posibilidades técnicas, pero también en su vertiente de conocimiento específico, y que el autor denomina antropología especulativa. Por ultimo, se acerca el proyecto Lugar a la noción de “fragmento” en la acepción crítica tal como es definida en los trabajos de T. W. Adorno; pérdida del centro, de la unidad, pero necesidad de la traza de un testimonio narrativo ante el caos del siglo XX.
Re-imagining migration: (im)mobility and the return to the sertão in Suely in the sky
Authors: Brandão Alessandra
Published: October 2016

The article aims to analyze how the Brazilian film Suely in the Sky (Karim Ainouz, 2006) tackles the issue of migration and (im)mobility in a contemporary context of dispersion and restlessness which seeks to emphasize the subjectivity of the main character rather than a migratory collective impulse. The film also represents a return to the sertao, which, in the 1960s, allegorized the nation in Brazilian cinema, and was nostalgically readdressed in the 1990’s. Contrary to these previous moments, however, the film opens for a transnational perspective, which suggests a tension between the nomadic, fluid idea of ‘becoming’, and the monadic, coagulated fixity of identity. The politics of displacement in this film helps us imag(in)e forms of life beyond normal/tized configurations of identity and belonging.

Authors: Rodrigues Leandro Garcia
Published: October 2016

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de analisar, de forma interdisciplinar, as interseções teóricas entre o filme Tudo Sobre Minha Mãe, de Pedro Almodóvar, e o texto Notas Sobre o Camp, da crítica de cultura Susan Sontag.

Donato Ndongo e o exílio literário
Authors: Costa Cátia Miriam
Published: October 2016

Donato Ndongo, escritor equatoguineense, retrata a situação no seu país, uma conjuntura ditatorial tornada estrutura política, social e cultural, em que o medo domina a sociedade e impede os intelectuais deste país de expressarem livremente o seu pensamento. Para compreender a obra do autor, urge entender a problemática subjacente à produção artística no seu país de origem e às condições de recepção no país onde escreve e dos públicos que poderão aceder ao seu trabalho. Estas assumem particular importância, quando o autor se vê forçado a publicar no exílio, no país outrora potência colonizadora, a Espanha, e a trabalhar para públicos abrangentes, inseridos em sistemas culturais distantes do equatoguinneense, portanto, desconhecedores das especificidades aí existentes.
Para una moral del lenguaje en el regionalismo problemático: Alhué de José Santos González Vera y Vidas Sêcas de Graciliano Ramos
Authors: Pardo Hugo Herrera
Published: October 2016

Este artículo expone que las posiciones sobre el lenguaje que adoptan los narradores y personajes de las novelas Alhué de José Santos González Vera y Vidas sêcas de Graciliano Ramos, a partir de la comunión con un espacio agreste, se constituye como una opción crítica frente a los problemas derivados por las nuevas posibilidades de la condición humana impuestas por la Modernidad y sus circuitos de producción. La reflexión en torno a esta “moral del lenguaje” se enmarca dentro de lo que Antonio Candido denomina Regionalismo problemático, tratando de acercar, desde un estudio comparado, algunos puntos de contacto entre representantes del criollismo chileno y la novela del sertón brasileña.
Deslocamentos do popular no cinema brasileiro: religião e relações raciais em O Amuleto de Ogum (1974)
Authors: Lapera Pedro Vinicius Asterito
Published: October 2016

Neste artigo, pretendemos abordar o cinema brasileiro da década de 1970 e elegemos como foco da análise o filme O Amuleto de Ogum, dirigido por Nelson Pereira dos Santos em 1973-74. Escolhemos deter-nos na centralidade ocupada pelos rituais afro-brasileiros tanto na narrativa fílmica quanto em sua recepção. Partimos da seguinte questão: como o filme incorpora os rituais afro-brasileiros à sua narrativa e, portanto, à sua representação da cultura popular? Adotamos a hipótese de que, na conexão entre os aspectos rituais e extra-rituais, O Amuleto de Ogum revela algumas características das relações raciais e sua hierarquização evidenciada tanto nas experiências cotidianas quanto nas representações veiculadas pela cultura de massa.
O trabalho de leitura dialógico em uma transposição do texto verbal para um texto sincrético
Authors: Guzzi Cristiane Passafaro
Published: October 2016

A possibilidade de um estudo pormenorizado sobre o processo criativo de uma minissérie televisiva, baseada na transposição de uma obra literária, nos instigou a querer compreender melhor as relações existentes entre Literatura e Cinema, Literatura e Televisão, especialmente após o trabalho realizado pelo diretor Luiz Fernando Carvalho, ao adaptar o romance Dom Casmurro (1899), de Machado de Assis, para a minissérie Capitu (2008). A compreensão que fazemos da leitura de Carvalho transparece nos ressoos figurativos que ele evidencia por intermédio dos procedimentos de citação, seja de forma direta, seja de forma indireta. Esse ressoo de traços de significação, que nos remetem aos diálogos com outros textos e com outras tradições, configuram-se desde a escolha do cenário, o posicionamento da iluminação, os efeitos de enquadramento da câmera, a caracterização e o vestuário das personagens, até a trilha sonora escolhida para embalar a trama, preenchendo e atualizando, assim, o texto de Dom Casmurro de novas visibilidade, diálogos e interpretações.
Os animais performáticos de Beuys, Sherk, Berwick e Dion
Authors: Cernicchiaro Ana Carolina
Published: October 2016

Nas performances animais de Joseph Beuys, Bonnie Sherk, Rachel Berwick e Mark Dion, o ponto de vista irredutível da alteridade inumana funda novos modos estéticos e éticos que colocam em questão as dicotomias ocidentais entre sujeito da arte e objeto de arte, mas também entre natureza e cultura, humano e inumano, mesmidade e alteridade.
COSMOLOGIA LITERÁRIA DA VIOLÊNCIA: UMA LEITURA SOBRE A CONDIÇÃO PÓS-COLONIAL AFRICANA
Authors: Cardoso Sebastião Marques
Published: October 2016

Neste artigo, pretendemos elaborar uma leitura crítica acerca da peça de teatro Orações de Mansata (2007), do escritor africano Abdulai Sila. Para isso, tomaremos a referida peça como texto literário, pois iremos evidenciar a expressão dos principais personagens relacionando-os com o contexto histórico-político dos países africanos da pós-colonialidade, em especial Guiné-Bissau. A violência, um dos temas mais prementes da obra, é uma referência que permite traçar esse tipo de leitura. Acreditamos que o autor, diante da questão levantada por ele na peça, propõe um novo entendimento acerca dos efeitos da colonização e do pós-colonialismo em África
