ASL (Arterial Spin Labeling) – a novel modality of MR angiography – is based on radio-frequency labeling of aqueous protons in the arterial blood; the method is used to monitor blood supply to  organs, including the brain. So far there has been little information on the use of ASL in children with focal epilepsy, especially in the pre-surgery period.

Aim:to evaluate the perfusion patterns in seizure-free children with drug resistant focal epilepsy (FE) using the ASL mode of MRI.

Materials and methods.We studied the ASL data of 54 (23-boys/31 girls) patients with FE  treated in the Dpt. of Neurology at the Russian State Children Hospital from 2015 to 2018. The  patients’ age varied from 4 months to 17 years. All images were produced with a 3T GE Discovery  750W system.

Results. We found several brain perfusion patterns in children with FE; among other factors, those patterns depended on the clinical status of the patient, i. e. the interictal period or the early post- seizure period. The main pattern of the interictal period was characterized by a focal decrease in  perfusion located around a structural focus identified on MRI scans. In the early post-seizure  period, there was an increase in the arterial perfusion in the area of a structural epileptogenic lesion.

Conclusion.ASL-MRI is an effective diagnostic method providing more information on children  with FE during their pre-surgery phase. The ASL modality needs further research to rationalize its wider use as a preferred diagnostic tool or as a combination with the more complex PET and SPECT.
Chromatography-tandem MASS spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for the detection of valproic acid and its metabolites in blood plasma
Authors: Malygin A. S. , Popov N. S. , Demidova M. A. , Kudrayshova M. N.
Published: August 2018

Aim: to adapt the HPLC-MS/MS technique to determining valproic acid and its metabolites in blood plasma for drug therapy monitoring.

Materials and Methods: The chromatographic assay was run using an Agilent 1260 Infinity II chromatograph with a Phenomenex synergi Fusion analytical column 4 μm-C18 2×50 mm. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% ammonium acetate in distilled water and 0.1% ammonium acetate in methanol (10:90 v/v, 0.5 ml/min). The multiple ions monitoring (MIM) mode was used for mass- spectrometric detection of valproic acid at m/z = 143.1, with the negative ion mode. The method  was found applicable over the range from 1 mcg/ml to 200 mcg/ml of valproic acid. For the mass  spectroscopy detection of valproic acid metabolites, the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM mode)  was used. MS identifications of 2-propyl-4-pentanoil-β-О-glucuronide; 2-propyl-4-pentenoic acid,  3-hydroxy-2- propylpentanoic acid, 4-hydroxy-2-propylpentanoic acid, 2-propylglutaric acid and 3- oxo-2-propylpentanoic acid in the negative ion mode were carried out at m/z 319.2→143.2; m/z  140.1→140.1; m/z 159.1→101; m/z 159.1→123.1; m/z 173→129.1 and m/z 157.05→11,  respectively. The method was sensitive over the range from 10 ng/ml to 500 ng/ml of the tested  compounds.

Results: The developed technique allows for determining valproic acid and its metabolites in a single sample; thus, the preliminary stage of separate sample preparation can be omitted, which increases the informative value of the assay without increasing its cost.

Conclusion: This innovative methodology for the quantification of valproic acid and its metabolites in the blood plasma is expected to facilitate the individual approach to the treatment of patients with epilepsy, thereby increasing the efficacy and safety of the pharmacotherapy.
Hyperandrogenism as a side effect of anticonvulsants
Authors: Tsallagova E. V. , Generalov V. O. , Sadykov T. R.
Published: August 2018

Aim: confirm the connection between hyperandrogenism and side effects of antiepileptic drugs in women. Materials and

Methods. Body weight, the menstrual cycle periodicity and the blood concentration of dihydrotestosterone were monitored in 278 women taking various antiepileptic drugs (valproic  acid, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and levetiracetam). The measurements were made at 3, 6, and 12 month after the treatment began.

Results. Among women taking valproic acid for 12 months, the average weight gain was 14.4%,  and in the group of carbamazepine – 5.4%. In women taking lamotrigine and levetiracetam, the  weight gain did not exceed 1.2%. With topiramate, a decrease in the body weight by 1.4% was  found. Among women taking valproic acid, the occurrence rate of menstrual cycle disorders increased by 64.9% after 12 months of treatment. In women taking carbamazepine the  increase was 22.6%. In the other groups, this increase did not exceed 3.7%. The occurrence of  menstrual cycle disorders correlated with an increase in the level of dihydrotestosterone. In women taking valproic acid, an increase in the concentration of blood dihydrotestosterone from 256.8  pg/ml to 526.32 pg/ml was found at the time-point of 12 months. In the group taking carbamazepine, an increase in the concentration of dihydrotestosterone from 268.4 pg/ml to 354.4 pg/ml was noted. In the other groups, fluctuations in the concentration of dihydrotestosterone were insignificant.

Conclusion. The body weight gain and the menstrual cycle disorders during anticonvulsant therapy are associated with hyperandrogenism.
Today’s choice of antiepileptic therapy: stages and recommendations

Published: August 2018

At present, treatment recommendations are developed considering the principles of evidence-based medicine. General practitioners (GP) are offered a choice of different medications with the known  characteristics of efficacy and tolerance. For a GP, the right choice of the optimal drug from the  proposed list may become a problem. Therefore, it is important not only to provide complete  information on all treatment options for a patient with epilepsy, but also discuss a scheme of the  proposed therapy (“key”) so to guide a GP through the treatment options and assess the possibility of  alternative treatment strategies. Contrary to the trial and error method, when the drug efficacy and  safety is assessed during the treatment, the proposed optimized approach allows for achieving a maximal therapeutic effect in patients with epilepsy.

Cutaneous manifestations of anti retroviral therapy used for post-exposure prophylaxis
Authors: Jani Chinmay T. , Malhotra Supriya D. , Patel Pankaj R.
Published: August 2018

Health care workers are at increased risk of needle stick injuries. Blood borne diseases that could be transmitted by such an injury include HIV, Hepatitis B, HCV and many others. Post exposure prophylaxis should be immediately started within 72 hours and should be continued for 28 days. Currently two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) are given along with one NNRTI (Non- Nucleoside reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor) including Efavirenz or Nevirapine. Multiple adverse effects have been reported with all the Anti- Retroviral Therapies including various cutaneous manifestations. A 22-year-old intern doctor studying in tertiary hospital of Ahmedabad had a needle stick injury with a needle contaminated with blood of HIV positive patient. Post Exposure prophylaxis was started within 72 hours consisting of fixed dose regimen of Tenofovir disprodoxil sulphate, Efavirenz and lamivudine. He was started with the drug within 2 hours and was prescribed one drug per day for next 27 days. On 22nd day he started having rash on his body which started on palms and soles. On 23rd day he saw severe facial edema along with edema on lips and rash spreading to other parts of the body. He was diagnosed with Hypersensitivity reaction and angioedema due to ART drug therapy. He was instructed to stop ART medications and was given antihistaminic for the symptoms. Patient's angioedema was relieved in 2-3 days and rash disappeared after 4-5 days. As he had already finished 23 days of therapy he was instructed to discontinue the drugs. No recurrence of rash or angioedema was noted. This case points out the severity of side effects in the normal healthy people taking ART as Post Exposure Prophylaxis. Apart from cutaneous manifestations, angioedema is a very grievous condition which doctors should always have lower threshold for diagnosis. Early diagnosis can prevent further complications. ART drugs have many complications and these patients should have intensive regular monitoring while on treatment. Also, proper education is required for needle cut injuries in health care workers.

Charting a course to an emerging field of 'research engagement studies': A conceptual meta-synthesis
Authors: Fransman Jude
Published: August 2018

The past decades in the UK have witnessed renewed interest by policymakers, research funders and research institutions in the engagement of non-academic individuals, groups and organizations with research processes and products. There has been a broad consensus that better engagement
leads to better impact, as well as significant learning around understanding engagement and improving practice. However, this sits in tension to a parallel trend in British higher education policy that reduces the field to a narrow definition of quantitatively measured impacts attributed to
individual researchers, projects and institutions. In response, this article argues for the mobilization of an emerging field of 'research engagement studies' that brings together an extensive and diverse existing literature around understandings and experiences of engagement, and has the
potential to contribute both strategically and conceptually to the broader impact debate. However, to inform this, some stocktaking is needed to trace the different traditions back to their conceptual roots and chart out a common set of themes, approaches and framings across the literature.
In response, this article maps the literature by developing a genealogy of understandings of research engagement within five UK-based domains of policy and practice: higher education; science and technology; public policy (health, social care and education); international development; and
community development. After identifying patterns and trends within and across these clusters, the article concludes by proposing a framework for comparing understandings of engagement, and uses this framework to highlight trends, gaps and ways forward for the emerging field.
Providing evidence of impact from public engagement with research: A case study from the UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF)
Authors: Copley Jon
Published: August 2018

Societal benefits of public engagement were recognized as 'impact' from research in the UK's recent Research Excellence Framework (REF), which determines an allocation of central government funding for universities and shapes the landscape for university researchers undertaking such
activities. This paper shares experience from a successful REF Impact Case Study based on a programme of informing/inspiring-type public engagement, illustrating how engagement goals can match definitions of impact for the REF, and summarizing types of evidence used to demonstrate 'reach'
and 'significance' of impact in media engagement, face-to-face engagement and online engagement, which represent common activities undertaken by many researchers.
A conceptual review of family involvement in acute mental health treatment: Methodology and personal reflections
Authors: Dirik Aysegul , Barrett Katherine , Bennison Gerry , Collinson Sue , Sandhu Sima
Published: August 2018

This paper describes a process developed in order to work collaboratively on a conceptual review of some of the family involvement models that are used in acute mental health treatment. The members of the review team consisted of clinicians, academics and people with lived experience
of mental illness and mental health services. This combination of backgrounds had the potential to present many challenges to the dynamics of the group. There were varying levels of research knowledge and experience within the group, as well as a lack of literature describing how to actualize
their potential to best effect. Financial resources were minimal, which meant that the number of meetings had to be limited. Most importantly, however, there was the strong potential for a power imbalance within the group during the review process. Senior academics and clinicians were being
expected to help to create a research environment in which the patient voice carried as much weight as theirs. In this paper, we discuss how we overcame these challenges and ended up with a process that was coherent, equable and enjoyable.
Making the invisible visible: Engaging school children in monitoring air pollution in London
Authors: Varaden Diana , McKevitt Christopher , Barratt Benjamin
Published: August 2018

Exposure to air pollution is a public health concern accountable for numerous health problems and tens of thousands of premature deaths each year in the UK. Despite this evidence, public understanding and awareness of the issue is low in comparison to other public health risks. Improved
methods for engaging with the public to communicate this risk are required. This study aimed to investigate the impact of collecting personalized air pollution exposure data on children and parents from a London primary school in terms of perceptions of and responses to air quality. Drawing
on a participatory research approach, 400 children from a London primary school learnt about air pollution. A subset of ten children measured the air pollution they were exposed to as they travelled to and from school using portable exposure monitors and GPS watches, and shared the data they
collected with the whole school. Data on the impact of the approach on the school community were collected using observations, surveys distributed to all school children and their parents, and interviews with the parents and children who collected the air pollution data. Most participants
said that having access to personalized data that they themselves collected increased their air pollution awareness and their desire to reduce their air pollution exposure. The children's participation in the project inspired them to think about ways in which they could influence other people's
behaviour, such as proposing anti-idling campaigns and encouraging their parents to cycle or walk to school. The use of participatory methods has the potential to facilitate the dissemination of information from a small group of individuals to a bigger audience. This study suggests that participatory
methods can be implemented in practice, and they have the potential to be effective and engaging tools for raising awareness of air pollution as a health risk in communities.
'It's my diabetes': Co-production in practice with young people in delivering a 'perfect' care pathway for diabetes
Authors: Sharpe Darren , Green Emma , Harden Angela , Freer Rachelle , Moodambail Abdul , Towndrow Steven
Published: August 2018

This paper considers how young people can help commissioners and providers better understand and address the options and barriers of delivering a perfect care pathway. This applied health study was funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) in England and a local clinical
commissioning group (CCG) responsible for the organization and delivery of NHS services in a socially deprived, ethnically diverse urban locality. The research team was mixed – in terms of age, ethnicity, faith-identities and backgrounds – and worked together over one year to co-produce
commissioning guidance. Guidance is intended for use by clinical commissioning groups to support them in commissioning health diabetes services. Our goal was to work with young people to help us understand the options and barriers they face when given a diagnosis of diabetes, and using NHS
services. While our NHS partners can provide the latest medical and academic input into managing diabetes, young people have first-hand experience of managing diabetes, the highs and the lows, and only they can provide the inspiration for what would make the service better, now and in the
future. With this focus in mind, young people joined the research team to help shape and implement new commissioning guidance. This paper offers the opportunity to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses in involving young people in health service design.
The public-engaged scientists: Motivations, enablers and barriers
Authors: Cerrato Simona , Daelli Valentina , Pertot Helena , Puccioni Olga
Published: August 2018

Why do scientists volunteer to be involved in public engagement in science? What are the barriers that can prevent them participating in dialogue with society? What can be done to facilitate their participation? In this paper we present a case study of the Children's University programme
of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) (Trieste, Italy), discussing the three-year experience, and reporting the outcomes of a series of focus groups conducted with the young scientists who volunteered in the programme. Two kinds of motivations emerged. The first is personal,
for example volunteers' desire to improve their own communication abilities, or their curiosity for a new activity. The second is related to the perceived role of scientists in society: many volunteers feel a sense of duty and the need to promote science and its importance in society, to have
an impact on the public perception of science and to seed the love for science in young people. After the first year of their involvement, volunteers expressed the need to keep improving their communication skills and participating in professional training courses, and agreed that science
communication should become part of all standard training programmes of PhDs. In order for the outreach not to remain a sporadic experience, it is essential that a strong institutional commitment exists to promote, recruit, encourage, professionally train and support those involved.
The challenges of patient and public involvement in medical technology and in-vitro diagnostic research
Authors: Uchegbu Ijeoma , Sato Momoko , Allam Alison , Buckle Peter , Hanna George
Published: August 2018

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is defined as 'research being carried out "with" or "by" members of the public rather than "to", "about" or "for" them'. A knowledge transfer event (KTE) was planned to share the experience of organizations who carry out medical technology
research. The KTE was attended by organizations with an interest in the effective application of PPI in health-care research, including organizations from academia, industry and charities. The aim was to share current PPI experience and to discuss the development of a PPI impact measurement
framework to support future growth in PPI application within medical technology research.
Citizen scientist community engagement with the HiggsHunters project at the Large Hadron Collider
Authors: Barr A..J. , Haas A. , Kalderon C.W.
Published: August 2018

The engagement of citizen scientists with the HiggsHunters. org citizen science project is investigated through analysis of behaviour, discussion and survey data. More than 38,000 citizen scientists from 179 countries participated, classifying 1.5 million features of interest on about
39,000 distinct images. While most citizen scientists classified only a handful of images, some classified hundreds or even thousands. Analysis of frequently used terms on the dedicated discussion forum demonstrated that a high level of scientific engagement was not uncommon. Evidence was
found for an emergent and distinct technical vocabulary developing within the citizen science community. A survey indicates a high level of engagement and an appetite for further citizen science projects related to the Large Hadron Collider.
Scaling up community-based research: A case study
Authors: Elson Peter , Wamucii Priscilla , Hall Peter
Published: August 2018

Community-based research generally focuses on achieving benefits for both communities and researchers on a local, place-based scale. This case study profiles the six-year evolution of a community-based social enterprise sector survey across Canada. What started as a class project, and
then a one-time study of two provinces, grew, over time, to become a pan-Canadian social enterprise sector survey. The evolution of the survey was led by social enterprise intermediary organizations within provinces who recognized the potential value of the initial survey in their own context.
This case study demonstrates that with time and commitment, the core values of community-based research can be successfully scaled-up.

The ultimate objective of this study is to describe a big picture of managerial honesty research that had been done in last decade. Moreover, the result of this research is aiming to provide an opportunity to continue the research on this particular topic. This archival study was held based on 21 research subjecting in managerial honesty, particularly in budgeting.Research that can be developed in this sphere is related to economic and psychological factors that affect conflict within the organization. Specifically, this research plan seeks to outline the economic and psychological factors affecting the competition. Furthermore, the research plan seeks to distinguish models from the competition and analyze their impact on management tendencies in conducting honesty in addition to economic incentives to lie. The model is here: first, the model that involves economic pressures and the second is a model that raises competition among participants without changing the number of monetary incentives.

O olhar distanciado de Camilo e a quebra da catarse
Authors: Pavanelo Luciene Marie
Published: August 2018

Normalmente lido como um feuilleton melodramático e sentimental, a obra de Camilo Castelo Branco é mais do que aparenta ser. Se, por um lado, oferece enredos que satisfazem o gosto do leitor; por outro, leva à reflexão por meio da onipresença do narrador, que introduz comentários irônicos e paródicos no decorrer da ação, quebrando assim a tensão dramática em um recurso literário muito semelhante à ruptura da catarse por meio do efeito de estranhamento realizado por Bertolt Brecht em seu teatro épico.

Defesa de uma antropologia filosófica da máquina
Authors: Vengeon Frédéric
Published: August 2018

A máquina é um dos grandes impensados da tradição filosófica, que cristaliza a condição de divórcio entre o pensamento e a condição do mundo contemporâneo, perturbando o reconhecimento dos vínculos que unem humanidade e artificialidade. Este ensaio procura estabelecer, para além da tecnofobia e da tecnofilia, o escopo de uma antropologia filosófica da máquina, a partir da reflexão sobre o nosso modo de relação com a artificialidade, a operacionalidade, os automatismos. Se o uso da máquina não deixa de ser uma maneira de refletir sobre a configuração das funções humanas e sobre a potência que o homem mobiliza em sua relação técnica com o mundo, deveríamos aventar, inclusive, nesse contexto, a possibilidade de uma ética da artificialidade automatizada.
“Pedaços de carne crua e ensangüentada”: uma análise de Casa de Pensão e Mistério da Tijuca de Aluísio Azevedo
Authors: Porto Ana Gomes
Published: August 2018

Uma das conclusões dessa pesquisa é a relação próxima entre Aluisio Azevedo e a imprensa, não apenas no que se refere à escrita de romances, mas também aos temas populares da mídia. A melhor compreensão os romances Mistério da Tijuca e Casa de Pensão é proporcionada pelo estabelecimento de similaridades entre eles. Ao comparar os dois romances, torna-se claro que as diferenças entre eles não são substanciais, apesar das diferentes opiniões de Azevedo sobre cada um. Por essa razão, é possível notar uma tensão permanente entre a intenção do autor e a real construção das obras.
A repercussão nos jornais de livros simbolistas de 1899
Authors: Simões Junior Álvaro Santos
Published: August 2018

Em 1899, a inovação na poesia brasileira era representada pelo movimento simbolista, cujo principal expoente, Cruz e Sousa, morrera no ano anterior. Sem o seu líder, os simbolistas perderam força e se fecharam em suas torres de marfim. Os parnasianos, por outro lado, continuaram gozando do respeito do público e do apoio dos críticos dos jornais. Estes, aliás, divulgavam constantemente com destaque a poesia de Olavo Bilac, Alberto de Oliveira, Luís Murat e Raimundo Correia, entre outros parnasianos. Para compreender bem o curioso fenômeno da pequena repercussão do Simbolismo no Brasil, pode-se investigar como alguns livros foram recebidos pela imprensa diária: Evocações, de Cruz e Sousa, Cruz e Sousa, de Nestor Vítor, Setenário das dores de Nossa Senhora e Câmara ardente, de Alphonsus de Guimaraens e Terra dolorosa, de Oliveira Gomes. Como a primeira fase de um levantamento mais extenso, as coleções de Cidade do Rio, Gazeta de Notícias e A Notícia foram examinadas em busca de notícias, crônicas e resenhas críticas dos referidos livros.
Estética e política, memória e esquecimento: novos desafios na era do Mal de Arquivo
Authors: Seligmann-Silva Márcio
Published: August 2018

O texto apresenta a nossa atual “virada memorialista”. Ela é apresentada primeiramente como um dos momentos de maior destaque dentro de um outro movimento que convencionamos chamar de “virada culturalista”. O culturalismo á caracterizado como a um só tempo o esgotamento e a tentativa de superação dos grandes modelos explicativos, teleológicos e ainda comprometidos com o Iluminismo do século XVIII. Neste contexto, o nosso corpo foi revelado como um arquivo. Mas não se trata mais da tripartição aristotélica da nossa alma em memória, fantasia e logos, nem da tripartição freudiana em id, ego, superego. Antes, este trabalho mostra como nosso corpo foi desvelado agora como um arquivo em suas bases materiais e não apenas como metáfora arquival. Além disto e paralelamente a este processo, nossa cultura letrada se transforma em cultura eletrônica-digital. As fronteiras entre o eu-arquivo e o mundo-arquivo, aberto pela era da computação, abalam a identidade do humano. O ensaio apresenta em que medida a amnésia e a hipomnésia não podem ser separadas de nossa hipermnésia. Todo o trabalho pontua o elemento político desta virada memorialista. Nossa cultura arquival e da memória é uma cultura onde grandes conflitos e guerras se articulam em torno da chave de arquivos e de certas interpretações da nossa memória cultural.
Até tu, Pet, ou Rita no Pomar e a arte de (des)pentear cachorros
Authors: Paz Ravel
Published: August 2018

O trabalho consiste em uma leitura do romance de estreia do escritor paraibano Rinaldo de Fernandes, Rita no Pomar. Dialogando com o posfácio de Silviano Santiago para o livro, buscamos compreender o papel exercido, nos sentidos do texto, pelos dois principais registros narrativos que o compõem, sobretudo o mais frequente deles: a narração pela protagonista de suas agruras passadas e presentes ao cachorro Pet. A nosso ver, é nos efeitos sutilmente instaurados por essa estratégia enunciativa que a história de Rita revela sua riqueza formal, psicológica e antropossociológica, ultrapassando e desconstruindo os padrões das narrativas de suspense, às quais muito se assemelha, e colocando em xeque o sistema de culpabilidade jurídico-psicológica que se localiza na base não só dessas narrativas como da sociedade moderna, ou mesmo, quem sabe, da dita sociabilidade humana. Finalmente, no outro extremo dessa operação desconstrutora, que também passa pela indicação do lugar de Rita na semicultura (Adorno) contemporânea, localizamos um sutil sopro libertário, que nos sugere uma aproximação entre os anseios corrompidos da personagem e certa filosofia helenística.
À semelhança do animal: mímesis e alteridade em Adorno
Authors: Alves Júnior Douglas Garcia
Published: August 2018

O objeto deste artigo são os textos de Theodor W. Adorno que tematizam a semelhança animal (Tieränlichkeit) do homem. A hipótese fundamental que guiará o comentário dos textos é a de que a consciência da afinidade mimética entre animais e homens é a dimensão central que funda a possibilidade de uma concepção emancipatória de racionalidade. Nesse sentido, a dimensão mimética presente na constituição do anthropos é referida à co-participação das faculdades estéticas e práticas dos sujeitos, cujas estruturas dizem respeito à relação com a alteridade.
Adorno leitor de Freud: Para além da coerção mítica da razão?
Authors: Lastória Luiz Calmon Nabuco
Published: August 2018

Este artigo aborda possíveis linhas de confluência entre a teoria psicanalítica de S. Freud e a teoria crítica da sociedade elaborada por M. Horkheimer e T. W. Adorno, com destaque para a perspectiva filosófica desse último. Dentre essas se destacam o conceito de pulsão como híbrido teórico entre as dimensões psíquica e somática do sujeito, e a estrutura da linguagem cujo substrato pulsional pertence tanto aos sintomas relatados pelos pacientes, quanto às narrativas mitopoéticas.

Fronteiras da literatura brasileira contemporânea: mistura de gêneros em Batismo de Sangue de Frei Betto
Authors: Pereira Rogério Silva
Published: August 2018

Batismo de Sangue , de Frei Betto, publicado originalmente em 1982, mistura gêneros. Reúne em si, dentre outros, resenha histórica, depoimento e biografia. Tudo isso, algumas vezes, mesclado ao ensaio e ao romanesco. Não é, bem entendido, um romance, mas algumas categorias romanescas especificamente ficcionais são recorrentemente instrumentalizadas em sua configuração. Em consonância com essas características, Batismo de Sangue é também esforço de tornar público alguns aspectos da realidade da clandestinidade do Regime Militar brasileiro (1964-1985), sobretudo a tortura, esta eminentemente privada. Usando os conceitos de público e privado (Arendt), de metáfora (White), de personagem do romance (Candido; Rosenfeld), de romance público (Bakhtin) e de ensaio (Adorno), este artigo discute a mistura de gêneros presente na narrativa de Batismo de Sangue.

O jogo da amarelinha: ensaio em forma de romance
Authors: Melo Lucas Bandeira de
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo explora as imbricações entre romance e ensaio em uma das principais obras literárias da segunda metade do século XX: O jogo da amarelinha, de Julio Cortázar. De maneira a determinar as contribuições que, nessa obra, romance e ensaio podem dar um ao outro, recorre-se a Montaigne (o aspecto autobiográfico do ensaio), Friedrich Nietzsche (sobre a diversidade de eus) e Theodor Adorno (ensaio como forma), além de à análise de momentos-chave de O jogo da amarelinha em que esse cruzamento se faz presente. Do hibridismo decorrente dessa mistura resulta um texto aberto, que dá ao leitor o poder de decidir a maneira de lê-lo. Embora haja limites para a interpretação (como teorizado por Umberto Eco), o leitor se vê compelido a tomar partido, e por isso O jogo da amarelinha pode ser considerado exemplo daquilo que Roland Barthes chama de “texto de fruição” ou apenas de “texto”.
O corpo do ensaio
Authors: Padilha Paula
Published: August 2018

À medida que o conceito de sistema filosófico perde força na virada do século XX, por deixar de lado a questão da forma, o ensaio assume uma importância central na filosofia, exatamente por entender que é o corpo do ensaio, a sua forma, que determina diretamente o conteúdo expresso no texto. Por permitir uma liberdade que a própria linguagem reivindica, o ensaio é o lugar onde a filosofia se apresenta da maneira mais expressiva, uma vez que a forma assume um papel decisivo, como acontece na poesia. É esse papel decisivo que constitui o estilo, que determina o próprio sentido do que se quer dizer. Trazendo pressupostos da poesia para o ensaio e seguindo, principalmente, o pensamento do filósofo Walter Benjamin, além de Adorno e Lúcaks, esse artigo pretende expor o que faz do ensaio o terreno privilegiado à apresentação do pensamento e de que maneira o estilo não pode ser deixado de lado na escrita filosófica.

O “ensaio teórico-crítico-experimental” de Roberto Corrêa dos Santos
Authors: Pucheu Alberto
Published: August 2018

Dois livros abrem o que pode ser chamado de o terceiro momento da obra de Roberto Corrêa dos Santos: O livro fúcsia de Clarice Lispector e Luiza Neto Jorge, códigos de movimento. Momento poético-plástico-conceitual que demarca o que seu autor entende como uma literatura contemporânea por excelência, ou seja, o efeito, para ele principal, da dobra da escrita do agora ou do contemporâneo, que é o “ensaio teórico-crítico-experimental” ou o “ensaio-teoria-crítica-romance-poesia-conceito”. No ensinamento enquanto invenção e na invenção enquanto ensinamento, o que mais importa é criar uma indecidibilidade entre o ensaio e a ficção, uma inseparabilidade entre o ensaio e o poema, um desguarnecimento de fronteiras entre o ensaio, a ficção e o poema, entre o gesto e o conceito, entre o conceito e a imagem e o ritmo, entre a plasticidade e a escrita, entre o risco, o rabisco, o desenho, a foto, a fotocópia e a letra, para que, de dentro de uma escrita acadêmica ou teórica, com a provocação de uma necessidade da escrita a demandar novas sintaxes, novos ritmos, novos modos de estruturação do pensamento, possa-se “borrar uma tese universitária e propor uma semântica vital”.
A presença da poesia italiana em Ipotesi, de Murilo Mendes
Authors: Agustoni Prisca
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo aproxima livremente a coletânea Ipotesi, de autoria de Murilo Mendes, da produção de alguns dos poetas italianos mais instigantes e influentes, contemporâneos ao poeta brasileiro. A intenção dessa aproximação é a de verificar como, apesar das evidentes diferenças estilísticas e representativas que animam o universo lírico dos poetas aqui mencionados, Murilo chegou a partilhar e a incorporar na sua produção poética escrita em italiano certo estado de espírito decorrente do momento histórico-social (e cultural) que pairava sobre a Itália, uma ambiência cultural da qual ele se alimentou em função da sua prolongada estadia na capital italiana.
Pier Paolo Pasolini e Murilo Mendes e a religião de seus tempos
Authors: Honesko Vinícius Nicastro
Published: August 2018

Através da análise da imagem da mão, em um mural pintado por Diego Rivera no Palácio de Belas Artes do México, o presente ensaio procura demonstrar como dois poetas heterogêneos, Murilo Mendes e Pier Paolo Pàsolini, são movidos pelo mesmo princípio ético. Diante da penumbra do tempo no qual vivem, um mundo agônico, procuram por uma posição poética que seja ainda uma forma de resistência e, embora em agonia, encontram a alegria de viver: abgioia. A releitura dos tempos em que vivem é, por consequência, o modo de viverem eticamente suas vidas.
