Published: July 2015

In this review article, the artificial vision model using the 3 cascaded conjugate mirrors system can be constructed, analyzed and simulated. A single 3D pixel (point) imaging construction is formed and obtained by using the conjugate mirror concept, where the large area of pixels can be potentially constructed and realized for large area application. This is a simulation work, where the software program is the finite difference time domain (FDTD) commercial program (Opti-wave). However, the used device parameters and materials can be fabricated and formed the artificial eyes for 3D artificial vision. Simulation result obtained has shown that the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of radiation within the cascaded microring conjugate mirrors can be easily formed, and are coupled by the two nonlinear side rings, which can be potentially used for 3D imaging pixel construction applications by the two eyes construction model.

Authors: Szabó L. , Horváth Zs. H.
Published: July 2015

The paprika oleoresin, that is an oil soluble extract from the fruits of Capsicum Annum Linn or Capsicum Frutescens, is used often to raise the colour agent content of paprika powders. We investigated how the colour agent content of paprika powder samples with added oleoresin change in the course of storage. The colour agent content of 7 different quality powders was increased with 7-75% using two types of oleoresin. The initial colour agent content of the samples changed between 41 and 169 ASTA units. The powders were made from Chinese, Peruvian and Hungarian paprika. The colour agent content of the samples was measured throughout 10 months. The measured values were analysed using ANOVA. The decrease of colour agent content varied between 22 and 51 percent, while the average reduction was 33 percent. The initial colour agent content of the paprika powder samples did not influence the colour agent content decrease significantly. The effect of the quantity of added oleoresin did not influence either the colour agent content decrease significantly. The decrease of the colour agent content of the Hungarian paprika samples significantly differs from the Chinese and Peruvian paprika samples colour agent content decrease.

Published: July 2015

The study evaluated the proliferative activity of immunocompetent cells in the jejunal and iliac lymph nodes of prepubertal female wild boars exposed to deoxynivalenol and zearalenone in naturally contaminated feed. The evaluation was performed with the use of the MTT assay and 2 mitogens: lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and concanavalin A. Intensified proliferative processes in T and B lymphocytes were revealed. The mitogenic activity of LPS was more expressed in the lymphocytes of both iliac and jejunal lymph nodes in comparison with the control group. Proliferative activity was higher in iliac lymph nodes than in jejunal lymph nodes. A reverse trend was observed in the percentage of live cells, which was higher in jejunal lymph nodes during the evaluation of lymphocyte proliferation.

The purpose of this study was to assess the possible influence of beavers on the contamination of lake water with zoonotic parasites Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp., with respect to the risk to human health. A total of 79 water samples were taken around the habitats of beavers from 14 localities situated in the recreational Masurian Lake District (north-eastern Poland). Water was sampled in the spring and autumn seasons, at different distances from beavers’ lodges (0-2, 10, 30, and 50 m). The samples were examined for the presence of (oo)cysts of zoonotic protozoa Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. by direct fluorescence assay (DFA) and by nested and real time PCR. By DFA, the presence of Giardia cysts was found in 36 samples (45.6%) and the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts in 26 samples (32.9%). Numbers of Giardia cysts, Cryptosporidium oocysts, and summarised (oo)cysts of both parasites showed a significant variation depending on locality. The numbers of Giardia cysts significantly decreased with the distance from beavers’ lodges while the numbers of Cryptosporidium oocysts did not show such dependence. The amount of Giardia cysts in samples collected in spring was approximately 3 times higher than in autumn. Conversely, a larger number of Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in samples collected in autumn than in spring. By PCR, Giardia DNA was found in 38 samples (48.1%) whereas DNA of Cryptosporidium was found in only 7 samples (8.9%). Eleven Giardia isolates were subjected to phylogenetic analysis by restriction fragment length polymorphism PCR or sequencing which evidenced their belonging to zoonotic assemblages: A (3 isolates) and B (8 isolates). In conclusion, water in the vicinity of beavers’ lodges in the tested region was markedly contaminated with (oo)cysts of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp., which confirms the potential role of beavers as a reservoir of these parasites and indicates a need for implementation of appropriate preventive measures to protect tourists’ health.

Published: July 2015

Semen was collected from Polish Halfbred stallions. Twenty individuals from 3 to 4 years of age were selected for the study. At least one ejaculate from each stallion was collected and assessed. Sperm morphology was evaluated using Papanicolaou stain, SpermBlue®, and a complex of eosin and gentian stain, whereas unstained slides were used as control samples. Morphometric measurements were performed on 100 randomly selected sperm heads in each ejaculate. The length, width, perimeter, and surface area of the sperm head were measured. The frequency of nuclear vacuoles was determined as well. Tygerberg’s strict criteria, which most precisely characterise the sperm head, were used in the morphological evaluation of the sperm. The results obtained indicate that in the case of staining with SpermBlue® and with eosin+gentian complex, the morphometry of the sperm head seems to be most similar to that observed in unstained smears. It also seems that neither shrinking nor swelling is uniform in the various staining techniques (Papanicolaou stain). Moreover, it appears that in comparison with unstained sperm, all methods caused the width of the head to increase as a result of swelling.

Improving Community Detection in Time-Evolving Networks Through Clustering Fusion
Authors: Jin Ran , Kou Chunhai , Liu Ruijuan
Published: July 2015

Traditional community detection algorithms are easily interfered by noises and outliers. Therefore, we propose to leverage a clustering fusion method to improve the results of community detection. Usually, there are two issues in clustering ensembles: how to generate efficient diversified cluster members, and how to ensembles the results of all members. Specifically: (1) considering the time evolving characteristic of real world networks, we propose to generate clustering members based on the snapshot of networks, where the split based clustering algorithms are performed; (2) considering the difference in the distribution of the cluster centers in each clustering member and the actual distribution, we ensemble the results based on a maximum likelihood method. Moreover, we conduct experiments to show that our method can discover high quality communities.
The structure of Na+-translocating of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase of Vibrio cholerae: implications on coupling between electron transfer and Na+ transport

Published: July 2015

The Na+-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR) ofVibrio choleraeis a respiratory complex that couples the exergonic oxidation of NADH to the transport of Na+across the cytoplasmic membrane. It is composed of six different subunits, NqrA, NqrB, NqrC, NqrD, NqrE, and NqrF, which harbor FAD, FMN, riboflavin, quinone, and two FeS centers as redox co-factors. We recently determined the X-ray structure of the entire Na+-NQR complex at 3.5-Å resolution and complemented the analysis by high-resolution structures of NqrA, NqrC, and NqrF. The position of flavin and FeS co-factors both at the cytoplasmic and the periplasmic side revealed an electron transfer pathway from cytoplasmic subunit NqrF across the membrane to the periplasmic NqrC, and via NqrB back to the quinone reduction site on cytoplasmic NqrA. A so far unknown Fe site located in the midst of membrane-embedded subunits NqrD and NqrE shuttles the electrons over the membrane. Some distances observed between redox centers appear to be too large for effective electron transfer and require conformational changes that are most likely involved in Na+transport. Based on the structure, we propose a mechanism where redox induced conformational changes critically couple electron transfer to Na+translocation from the cytoplasm to the periplasm through a channel in subunit NqrB.
Regulatory role of charged clusters in the N-terminal domain of BetP from Corynebacterium glutamicum
Authors: Waclawska Izabela , Ziegler Christine
Published: July 2015

The trimeric transporter BetP counteracts hyperosmotic stress by a fast increase in transport rate in order to accumulate the compatible solute betaine. The positively charged α-helical C-terminal domain acts as an osmosensor perceiving the increase in the internal potassium (K+) concentration. A second, still unidentified stimulus originates from stress-induced changes in the physical state of the membrane and depends on the amount of negatively charged lipids. BetP possesses a 60-amino acid (aa)-long negatively charged N-terminal domain, which is predicted to adopt a partly helical fold affecting osmoregulation by an unknown mechanism. It is assumed that the C-terminal domain, the N-terminal domain, and negatively charged lipids interact during stress sensing and regulation. Here, we have investigated the regulatory role of negatively charged clusters in the N-terminal domain. We identified one cluster, Glu24Glu25, to be crucial for osmoregulation. Cross-linking studies revealed an interaction between the C- and N-terminal domains of adjacent protomers modulating transport activation. A regulatory partner-switching mechanism emerges in which the C-terminal domain changes its interaction with the N-terminal domain of its own promoter and negatively charged lipids to an interaction with the N-terminal domain of an adjacent protomer and lipids bound to the central cavity of the BetP trimer.

Authors: Xu Haijian , Lu Zheng , Jia Chunyan , Feng Danzhu , Liu Chunming
Published: July 2015

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steels are the leading candidates of fuel cladding for Generation IV nuclear reactors due to their excellent properties such as excellent radiation tolerance and high-temperature creep strength. Mechanical milling with the aim of a fine dispersion of oxides in the metal matrix becomes the main process for the production of ODS steels. In order to clarify the influence of milling time on the precursor powders for 15Cr-ODS steel, the morphology and properties of mechanical alloying (MA) powders with different milling time were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser diffraction particle size analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers hardness tester. The experimental results showed that the powder was fractured and welded with rotation and vibration of container during mechanical milling. The mean powder size increased (0–1 h) firstly then decreased (2–60 h). Extending milling time to 70 h, the mean powder size increased again. The grain size decreased quickly at the initial stage of milling process (0–2 h) then trended to reach a saturation value. The Vickers hardness increased rapidly at the initial stage of milling, then reached a saturation value.
An acoustic study of Luganda liquid allophones
Authors: Myers Scott
Published: July 2015

Transcription-based descriptions of Luganda (Bantu, Uganda) have stated that there is a rhotic (r) in the language that occurs only after a front vowel, in complementary distribution with a lateral (l) that occurs only elsewhere. However, these descriptions of the pattern have disagreed about the nature and distribution of the sounds involved. Such a pattern has been reported in a number of Bantu and non-Bantu languages, and it is intriguing because its phonetic basis is not obvious, since there is nothing rhotic about a front vowel or lateral about a non-front vowel. To clarify the facts and provide insight into this kind of pattern, a production study was conducted in which Luganda speakers produced the liquid in varying vocalic contexts. F1, F2, duration, mean harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR), and intensity were measured. The results support the characterization of the liquid after a front vowel as a nonlateral tap, and elsewhere as a lateral sonorant. But the intensity data also show a continuum in the degree of tongue tip constriction, ranging from approximant to tap, depending on the frontness of both the preceding and following vowels. The pattern of distribution is thus more complex and gradient than has been evident from transcriptions alone.
Single versus combination tocolytic regimen in the prevention of preterm births in women: a prospective cohort study
Authors: Ng Qiu Ju , Abdul Rahman Muhammad Fairuz Bin , Lim May Li , Chee Jing Jye , Tan Kok Hian
Published: July 2015

Objective: Our objective is to compare the efficacy of combination regimen (salbutamol and nifedipine) against single regimen (nifedipine alone) in preventing preterm births among women with preterm labor.

Results: A total of 76 women with gestational age (GA) ranging from 24+0 to 35+6 weeks, who sought treatment for preterm labor with or without cervical dilatation, were recruited for the prospective cohort study. Of these, 38 (50%) had single tocolytic regimen and 38 (50%) had combination tocolytic regimen. The mean GAs at admission were similar for both groups at 31 weeks (±2.93) for Group 1 and 30.9 weeks (±2.88) for Group 2 (P=0.873). The mean GAs at delivery were 37.8 weeks (±1.98) for the single regimen and 36.2 weeks (±3.26) for the combined regimen (P=0.011). The mean tocolytic to delivery interval for the single regimen was longer at 6.74 weeks (±3.13) as compared with 5.21 weeks (±3.61) for the combination regimen (P<0.05). Those on the combination regimen complained of more adverse effects (P<0.001).

Conclusion: Our study results suggested that the use of nifedipine as a single tocolytic regimen is as effective as the combination regimen in the delay of preterm births and has much less side effects. Hence, we recommend the sole use of nifedipine for the management of preterm labor.

Published: July 2015

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a colorectal cancer syndrome caused by a germline mutation inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern with a 100% penetrance.

Our detailed case report presents a history of a 55-year-old FAP female patient who had been under constant clinical observation for 30 years. The disease was diagnosed at the age of 22. The patient underwent restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (PRC-IPAA). During our follow-up extra-colonic manifestations occurred such as a desmoidtumour, fundic gland polyps in the stomach and duodenal polyps also in the periampullary region. Apart from disease-related symptoms the patient manifested other complications such as small bowel adhesive obstruction, benign breast tumours, uterine myomas, cholelithiasisand thyroid nodules.

Our analysis of the above case presents advantages of a long-term medical observation of a FAP patient carried out by a specialist surgical medical centre

Published: July 2015

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest cancers which lie in the incidence of morbidity in second place. Intensive research is to determine and confirm the genetic basis of this disease, which is believed may have a direct relationship with the reduced efficiency of DNA repair systems.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of APEX gene polymorphism Ile64Val on increasing the risk of colorectal cancer in the Polish population.

Material and methods. The blood samples collected from 150 patients diagnosed with colon cancer was used. The control group consisted of 150 healthy subjects. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan method.

Results. The results indicate that genotype Ile Val is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (OR 2.069; 95% CI 1,205-3,552; p = 0.008).

Conclusions. Based on these results, we conclude that the APEX gene polymorphism Ile64Val may be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

Published: July 2015

In analysis of complex nuclear forensic samples containing lanthanides, actinides and matrix elements, rapid selective extraction of
Am/Cm for quantification is challenging, in particular due the difficult separation of Am/Cm from
lanthanides. Here we present a separation process for Am/Cm(III) which is achieved using a combination of AG1-X8
chromatography followed by Am/Cm extraction with a triazine ligand. The ligands tested in our process were
CyMe4-BTPhen, CyMe4-BTBP, CA-BTP and CA-BTPhen. Our process allows for purification and quantification of Am and Cm
(recoveries 80% – 100%) and other major actinides in < 2 d without the use of multiple columns or
thiocyanate. The process is unaffected by high level Ca(II)/Fe(III)/Al(III) (10 mg mL
–1) and
thus requires little pre-treatment of samples.
Fiction and Representation
Authors: Vecsey Zoltán
Published: July 2015

According to artefactual theories of fiction, fictional characters are contingently existing abstract entities. One comparative advantage of artefactualism over its rivals is its conformity with our pre-theoretic views about the createdness of these entities. Artefactualism has also its own limitations: there are specific contexts in which it is apparently wrong to think that characters are created abstracta. In this paper it is argued that these limitations can be circumvented if the ontological status of characters is explained in representational terms.
The Grammar of Pain
Authors: Forsberg Niklas
Published: July 2015

This paper discusses Wittgenstein’s conception of grammatical investigations and shows how such an investigation, rightly understood, can elucidate the concept of pain. Philosophical attention to the concept of pain tends to lead philosophers in very different directions. A certain set of examples of uses of the concept might lead your thinking “outwards” towards behaviourism, whereas another set of examples might lead you inwards. I develop an understanding of grammatical investigations that does not hide complexities of language, arguing that grammar is as complex as the phenomenon of pain is. In divergence with e.g. Peter Hacker, I try to show how “grammatical investigations” cannot result in rules for the correct uses of language. The formulation of such rules tends to come together with a ‘one-sided diet’ (PI § 593). In contrast, I argue that what pain can teach us about grammar is that grammar, in Wittgenstein’s sense, is not, and cannot be, regulatory, and that it is the elasticity of a concept, if anything, that is its essence.
Stability of Thin-Walled Beams with Lateral Continuous Restraint
Authors: Balázs Ivan , Melcher Jindřich
Published: July 2015

Metal beams of thin-walled cross-sections have been widely used in building industry as members of load-bearing structures. Their resistance is usually limited by lateral torsional buckling. It can be increased in case a beam is laterally supported by members of cladding or ceiling construction. The paper deals with possibilities of determination of critical load of thin-walled beams with lateral continuous restraint which is crucial for beam buckling resistance assessment
[Fe(PNN-iPr)Br2]·xDCM: the first example of merotype-epitaxy of a molecular structure and its solvatomorph

Published: July 2015

Crystals of the Fe-PNN-pincer complex [Fe(PNN-iPr)Br2] 1 (PNN-iPr=N-(diisopropylphosphanyl)-6-[(isopropylamino)methyl]pyridin-2-amine) grown from a pentane/DCM mixture are made up of two independently diffracting domains with different stoichiometry, viz.
1 [P21/a, Z = 4, a = 14.2995(10) Å, b = 11.8043(8) Å, c = 12.4229(8) Å, β = 93.618(4)°, V = 2092.8(2) Å3] and its solvatomorph 1·DCM [A2/a, Z = 8, a = 14.2449(8) Å, b = 11.8208(8) Å, c = 30.091(2) Å, β = 111.501(4)°, V = 47142.3(5) Å3] with a volume ratio of 64.30:35.70(9). Both domains belong to a family of merotypes (polysomes that feature one common layer). They contain equivalent 1 layers, which are intercalated in 1·DCM by solvent layers. The crystals are therefore an example of solvato-merotype-epitaxy. A crystal made up of only the solvate domain 1·DCM-d2 [A2/a, Z = 8, a = 14.2796(9) Å, b = 11.8868(7) Å, c = 29.9135(19) Å, β = 110.9847(8)°, V = 4740.7(5) Å3] was grown from DCM-d2. An extension of the symmetry concepts of order-disorer (OD) theory to the more general case of merotypes or even polysomes is outlined.
Intermediate-valent CeCoAl – a commensurate modulated structure with short Ce–Co distances
Authors: Niehaus Oliver , Hoffmann Rolf-Dieter , Tencé Sophie , Chevalier Bernard , Pöttgen Rainer
Published: July 2015

CeCoAl was synthesized by melting of the elements in a sealed niobium tube in an induction furnace. Annealing of the sample gave access to a single phase sample. Its structure was refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data at different temperatures. Above 271 K CeCoAl crystallizes in its own structure type in the space group C2/m [a = 1107.4(2), b = 440.6(1) and c = 479.6(1) pm, β = 104.6(1)°]. Data obtained at 300 K lead to 511 F
2 values with 20 variables and a residual of [I ≥ 3σ(I)] wR = 0.0539. Below 271 K satellites give rise to the superspace group C2/m(α0γ)00; α = 2/3, γ = 2/5 with a temperature independent q-vector. For the 90 K data (also for 180 and 220 K) the commensurate modulated structure could be refined with 4817 F
2 values, 129 variables and residuals of wR = 0.0347 (main), wR = 0.1927 (satellites 1st order), wR = 0.1541 (satellites 2nd order) and wR = 0.1768 (satellites 3rd order) [a = 1107.5(1), b = 440.3(1) and c = 479.0(1) pm, β = 104.7(1)°]. For the three temperatures only minor variations of the modulation amplitudes are observed. The relation of the low temperature (3+1)D 3a × 5c approximant and the room temperature 3D structure is discussed on the basis of a group–subgroup relation. By investigation of the heat capacity, the phase transition could be identified as a second order one with a transition temperature of 271 K. Magnetic measurements clearly prove the intermediate cerium valence which is in line with the short Ce–Co distances.
LA EVALUACIÓN DEL DESARROLLO NACIONAL: APROXIMACIONES A PARTIR DEL ESQUEMA DE LA PLANIFICACIÓN PRESUPUESTARIA
Authors: Bolaños Garita Rolando
Published: July 2015

La correcta ejecución de los recursos incluidos en los presupuestos públicos pasa inexorablemente por comprender primeramente el esquema planificador del desarrollo nacional, el cual debe constituirse a la luz de las dimensiones política, administrativa, jurídica y conceptual que dan sustento y forma al mismo. Bajo esas consideraciones, cualquier evaluación que se haga estaría distorsionada y no agregaría valor al mejor uso que se haga de los limitados recursos presupuestarios públicos, si no se logran comprender dichas dimensiones y, correlativamente, activar la serie de mecanismos y acciones de dirección gubernativa que permite la Constitución Política y la serie de normas vigentes.

Por lo tanto, la consecución del desarrollo nacional podrá cristalizarse siempre y cuando los Poderes Ejecutivo y Legislativo tengan una clara noción de lo anterior y pongan a funcionar sus capacidades de dirección política y control político, respectivamente.

O Sentido da metamorfose: precariedade e permanência em Macunaíma
Authors: Finazzi Ettore
Published: July 2015

The carnal attitude affected by Macunaíma, the "hero without any trah" of Mário de Andrade's novel (1928), allows us to reconsider this character as an emblem of body, cancelling (in accordance with Bakhtin's. opinion) the barriers between "interior" and "exterior" -a body that passes across the "full places" of identity, combining manifold experiences into a substancial, ideological, uniformity. In this sense, the amorphous condition of Andrade's hero, in connection with his ability to "enter in another's body" (Starobinsky), with his metamorphosing faculty, becomes a paradigm of the Brazilian condition, which is also characterized by his tendency to identify itself in an absence, as a product of mediation between different cultural pattems. Macunaíma, as a text and as a character, is, after all, the novelization, the "metaphor" (Rella), of an identity that consists of a lack, that lasts into and across the transformation.

A Ensaística de Theodor W. Adorno.
Authors: Duarte Rodrigo
Published: July 2015

By means of the analysis of two Theodor Adomo's texts temporal1y very distant from each other -one written in the beginning of his career, the other in his maturity -, this article shows that the essay was for him not merely a theme of reflection, but also and upmost a kind of matrix for his thought. Within this matrix, through resort to a tradition, begun, in the Modernity, with Montaigne and solidified with Leibniz and the English empiricists, Adorno seeks to build, in the last phase of his philosophy, his conception of an "Anti-system", in which the indispensable coherence of thought can be kept save from instrumentalization by the domination system.

Resumo: O presente artigo contribui para uma reflexão sobre a influência da técnica sobre as artes na Era da Informatização. Desde o início da Era Industrial, nota-se a inversão gradativa de papéis entre máquina e homem: a "ascensão das máquinas" teria transformado o homem em "servo". Nem mesmo o campo das artes esteve livre dos efeitos de tal "ascensão", sobretudo no contato com os meios de comunicação de massa, como o rádio, o cinema e a televisão. Na verdade, tudo não passou de um prelúdio para o que ainda estava por vir: a informática atingiu as artes e nossa cultura fundada na tradição escrita, resultando em transformações muito mais amplas no âmbito da comunicação individual e social.Palavras-chave: arte; técnica; mediatização.Abstract: The present article brings up issues on the influence of technique on art in the Information Age. Since the beginning of the Industrial Age, there has been a progressive inversion of roles in the relation between man and machine : the "rise of machine" seems to have turned man into a "servant". Not even the field of art remained untouched by the effects of such "rise", specially in its contact with communication media like radio, cinema and television. In fact, all that was but a prelude to what was still to come: informatics reached into the arts and our writing­ based culture, causing widespread transformations in the realms of social and individual communication.Keywords: art; technique; mediatization.
Globalization of culture and values: myth or reality?

Resumo: No discurso da globalização, deve-se ter o cuidado de não simplificar a complexidade nem fazer uso de termos totalizadores, essencialistas e absolutizantes. Os valores culturais tornam-se uma arma aterrorizante se sua ambiguidade é ignorada, se a cultura se torna culturalismo sem considerar que os valores sempre foram, em qualquer momento da história, construções da cultura e, portanto, sujeitos a reconstruções: um processo que testemunhamos agora sob o impacto de uma globalização economicamente dominada.Palavras-chave: culturalismo; estudos culturais; globalização.Abstract: In the discourse of globalization one should take great care not to simplify complexity, not to make use of totalistic, essentialistic, and absolutizing terms. Cultural values become a terrifying weapon if their ambiguity is ignored, if culture becomes culturalism without considering that values have always been, at any point in history, constructions of culture and therefore prone to re-constructions: a process we presently are witness to under the impact of economically dominated globalization.Keywords: culturalism; Cultural Studies; globalization.

Para que serve a escrita? Freud escreve(-se)
Authors: Andrade Mauro Cordeiro
Published: July 2015

Este texto é um estudo inicial das relações internas entre as circunstâncias do nascimento da Psicanálise, da vida de seu fundador, e de sua experiência de escrita. Aponta, particularmente, para a hipótese de um movimento comum da letra entre escrita, nascimento da Psicanálise, amor, sonho, morte, desaparecimento, desastre. Suas fontes são cartas e textos de Freud – e alguns estudos sobre estas mesmas fontes –, e o pensamento de Maurice Blanchot.

Em torno do E da questão
Authors: Vidal Eduardo
Published: July 2015

Não se trata de supor que os poetas já “sabiam” o inconsciente “avant la lettre”. Há escrita no inconsciente e a Literatura ainda se escreve com letras. Escreve-se, no entanto, de modo análogo em um discurso e em outro? A letra é efeito de discurso e difere, portanto, em cada um deles, diferença que repousa na função do que se lê, literalmente. Há um real específico na Psicanálise que o discurso analítico possibilita, com a letra, escrever.

Robbe-Grillet, Moreau e Piranes: a encenação do tempo especular
Authors: Arbex Márcia
Published: July 2015

Este ensaio busca revelar em “La chambre secrète”, de Alain Robbe-Grillet, a presença de imagens geradoras do texto de ficção, a partir da distinção entre descrição pictural e literária, da identificação de marcadores da picturalidade, do diálogo intertextual com quadros de Gustave Moreau e gravuras de Piranesi, bem como do entrelaçamento espaciotemporal que observamos no iconotexto.
The photographic subversion: Benjamin, Manet and Art(istic) reproduction
Authors: Weingarden Lauren
Published: July 2015

Besides referring to museum masterpieces in his 1863 paintings Le déjeuner sur l’herbe and Olympia, Édouard Manet used photography, of both academic and pornographic models, new genres of commercial photography that emerged during the early 1850s. I argue that Manet deliberately conflated fine art reproductions and mass media products, a practice that invites discussion in the light of Walter Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility”. Since both engaged in a dialogue with Charles Baudelaire’s writings on art, culture, and photography, these writings provide a framework for discerning modernist paradoxes inherent in Manet’s and Benjamin’s critical interpretations of popular and material culture.
Filosofia em quadrinhos: uma análise intermidiática de Salut Deleuze!
Authors: Paula Leonora Soledad Souza
Published: July 2015

Neste trabalho pretendo discutir o diálogo entre discurso
filosófico e narrativa gráfica na obra Salut Deleuze! Resultado de um processo de apropriação da obra Diferença e Repetição
(1968) do filósofo Gilles Deleuze, Salut Deleuze! desenvolve-se através de uma experiência de transposição do tema filosófico para a linguagem das histórias em quadrinhos. A repetição deliberada da mesma cena por cinco vezes indica a estrutura narrativa através da qual o enredo é construído e sugere uma criativa reescrita do texto deleuziano ao demonstrar que a
repetição é, por natureza, algo sempre novo. Em seguida, proponho observar o processo de intertextualidade com outras obras e discutir o lugar das histórias em quadrinhos no universo de práticas culturais elaboradas através de uma relação intermidiática.
"Nascido em berço esplêndido e caído em desgraça": identidade e diáspora em O último suspiro do mouro, de Salman Rushdie
Authors: Borges Telma
Published: July 2015

Na literatura contemporânea o diálogo entre o centro e as margens, canônico e não-canônico reflete as profundas alterações histórico-sociais sentidas a partir da segunda metade do século vinte, mas fundamentadas em séculos de colonização e de recusa do Ocidente em aceitar o Outro. Este ensaio tem por objetivo realizar uma leitura de O último suspiro do mouro, de Salman Rushdie, a partir dos conceitos de diáspora e de identidade problematizados na narrativa juntamente com a noção de bastardia.
Poéticas do inclassificáve
Authors: Maciel Maria Esther
Published: July 2015

O trabalho discute o conceito de “inclassificável”, tomando como ponto de partida os significados da palavra grega “atopia” e os apontamentos teóricos de Barthes sobre a noção de atopos. Como desdobramento dessa discussão, são evocados Borges, Perec e Peter Greenaway para a abordagem do problema da insuficiência e precariedade dos sistemas de classificação no mundo contemporâneo. Discute-se ainda a figura híbrida do ornitorrinco como representante por excelência do inclassificável. A partir das reflexões de Umberto Eco sobre o ornitorrinco, conclui-se que o modelo contemporâneo de enciclopédia – em sua dimensão hipertextual – é o mais adequado para uma era inclassificável como a do presente, na qual as fronteiras entre culturas, línguas, gêneros, artes e campos disciplinares se entrecruzam, abrindose cada vez mais ao híbrido e ao transdisciplinar.

Espaço e lugar: relações impossíveis com a possibilidade de nomear
Authors: Guimarães Rodrigo
Published: July 2015

Este ensaio busca problematizar os conceitos de espaço e lugar na literatura contemporânea a partir das reflexões de Gilles Deleuze sobre os processos de desterritorialização, mapas e dobras, e do pensamento de Jacques Derrida sobre khôra, o não-lugar da linguagem, uma das formulações de maior complexidade de toda a “teoria” da desconstrução.
Homologias formais entre espaço natural e linguagem literária: estudo sobre Os sertões
Authors: Cordeiro Marcos Rogério
Published: July 2015

Este artigo é dedicado ao estudo de Os sertões de Euclides da Cunha com o objetivo de analisar e interpretar como o autor criou uma linguagem apropriada para representar e expressar o espaço natural. Parte-se da idéia de que Euclides identificou uma semelhança entre os modos de formação e transformação das formas naturais e os plasmou como modos de formação e transformação da linguagem literária, encontrando, assim, uma maneira de mimetizar a linguagem da natureza.

Borges e a infâmia de todos nós
Authors: Jeha Julio
Published: July 2015

Em História universal da infâmia, Borges narra contos enganadoramente simples, sobre protagonistas aventureiros e criminosos de várias formas, sobre crime e vilania. Misturando fato e ficção, quase sempre com reverberação mítica, deu aos contos uma impressão de autenticidade surrealista. Ao lançar mão de recursos mitopoéticos, Borges apresenta a infâmia, senão como força universal, pelo menos como um traço constituinte da natureza humana. Com a narrativa literária, ele nos permite ver mal e sofrimento como resultado, ainda que parcial, de ações inter-humanas e arranjos sociais.

O teatro argentino dissidente das últimas décadas
Authors: Rosa Sara deI Carmen Rojo de la
Published: July 2015

Neste trabalho, será analisado o teatro dissidente argentino do período ditatorial até os dias atuais. Esta resposta artística beligerante aos modelos políticos sociais autoritários está determinada pelos diferentes contextos e pelas duas vertentes nas quais atua: micropolítica, que busca criar um lugar alternativo, e micropolítica, que aspira ser macropolítica (Dubatti. Cartografía teatral).
Antologias, discurso e memória cultural: o dialogismo em compilações bilíngues de poesia argentina
Authors: Serrani Silvana
Published: July 2015

Neste texto o gênero antologia é abordado, da perspectiva da
Análise do Discurso, enquanto lugar de memória (Courtine, 1994; Nora, 1996). Apresenta-se um estudo de caso com compilações bilíngues de poesia argentina: (Jozef, 1990; e Buarque de Holanda; Monteleone, 2003 – antologias em espanhol/português; Salas, 1996 – antologia em espanhol/francês; e Graham Yool; Saimolovich, 2004 – antologia em espanhol/inglês); também, em decorrência da análise, far-se-ão referências comparativas a antologias monolíngues. A partir do enfoque discursivodialógico (Bakhtin, 1984; Foucault, 1985; Pêcheux, 1990), estudamse representações da memória literário-cultural em ensaios introdutórios, prólogos ou prefácios e na organização estrutural das antologias do corpus. As ilustrações apresentadas correspondem à representação da poesia argentina dos anos
1960. Após questionarem-se generalizações frequentes, como a suposta descontextualização inerente a toda antologia ou a
existência de leituras que seriam próprias das espécies antologia ou coletânea, o foco do trabalho dirige-se à análise de ressonâncias e formações discursivas nas antologias consideradas. No domínio de saber em análise, as formações discursivas propostas são: representação unilateral de desqualificação e exclusão da poesia dos anos 1960; representação marcada pela preponderância de sentidos positivos sobre a “geração dos anos 1960”; representação por desconstrução/questionamento da noção “geração dos anos 1960”. Nas conclusões, apontam-se perspectivas da análise do discurso de antologias, em relação a novos projetos antológicos, com enriquecimento do debate sobre a memória literário-cultural representada, e à utilização renovada de antologias em programas educacionais, com enfoques não dicotômicos de língua e literatura.
