title: The monism of duration and the ontologization of the past: on the Deleuzian reading of Bergson

description: Abstract: In this article we evaluate Deleuze's reading of Bergson, discussing two main problems: the monism of duration that Deleuze sees and defends in Bergson, and the ontologization of the past that he finds in the Bergsonian philosophy. As we shall attempt to show, if the first point (the monism of duration) seems particularly misleading, the second point (the ontologization of the past) seems to find a basis in some passages of Bergson's work.

title: Two paradoxes of projection

description: Abstract: Recently developed projective models of consciousness and its contents challenge received schemas in which all contents of consciousness are held to be well contained in the skull. Working our way into this from several angles, it becomes evident that there are inconsistencies in how we frame classes of mental contents which are arguably equivalent in being. Particular examples of imagery, of dancing and of words, are brought forward to highlight the clash in our apprehensive assumptions, focusing on possible cognitive as well as psychological costs of such inconsistency. A coherent way to blend the container and projector schemas is pointed out; yet such a blend does not support the standard claim for any kind of purely inner voice, contained but not projected. Conscious reflection may in all instances depend on projection, with reflection in imagery - visual, audible, even tactile and otherwise felt - placed just the far side of what can schematically be grasped as the sensory horizon where, in the space-time just beyond here and now, our imaginative expectations backstop recognition of here-now present things.

title: The fish in the creek is sentient, even if I can’t speak with it

description: Abstract: In this paper I argue that Velmens’ reflexive model of perceptual consciousness is useful for understanding the first-person perspective and sentience in animals. I then offer a defense of the proposal that ray-finned bony fish have a first-person perspective and sentience. This defense has two prongs. The first prong is presence of a substantial body of evidence that the neuroanatomy of the fish brain exhibits basic organizational principles associated with consciousness in mammals. These principles include a relationship between a second-order sensory relay, the preglomerular complex, and the fish pallium which bears a resemblance to the relationship between the mammalian thalamus and the neocortex, the existence of feedback/feedforward and reentrant circuitry in the pallium, and structural and functional differences among divisions of the fish pallium. The second prong is the existence of behaviors in fish that exhibit significant flexibility in the presence of environmental change and require relational learning among stimuli distributed in space, over time, or both. I conclude that, although they are instantiated differently, a first-person perspective and sentience are present in fish.

title: Sobre a negatividade conceitual do sentimento ou a filosofia schopenhaueriana da linguagem

description: Abstract: Arthur Schopenhauer has a notion about the nature of the concept that runs through his thinking since the beginning of his philosophical production. Initially approached from its abstract rational meaning, in The world as will and representation, the concept acquires deeper traces from sentiment (Gefühl). The “non-concept” concept of sentiment will determine the direction of Schopenhauer”s philosophy by highlighting the limits of language. The philosophical language, therefore, expresses a paradox, since it intends to manifest, in abstract language, a concrete content, whose nature cannot be determined by it. As an abstract conceptual construct, philosophical language has a secondary and, thus, incomplete ontological status in relation to the content of concrete reality. Sentiments are the non-conceptual medium that clarifies the nature of concepts itself, and, consequently, the non-philosophical way that paradoxically best expresses the content of philosophy. In the recording of sentiment, Schopenhauer recognizes in musical language the proper justification scope of philosophical language.

title: Property ownership strategies: black paulista families’ life history between 1920s and 1940s

description: ABSTRACT In Brazil, there is a cultural belief that property acquisition is the wisest attitude to ensure a safe and stable economy. For generations, the "dream of property ownership" has been cultivated as a horizon to be achieved. Confirming this tendency, since the 1920s, "casa propria" (home ownership) became a notion mobilized in the black press periodicals, circulating as a desirable aspiration and an orientation to the journals public. Between 1924 and 1937, two of the main newspapers of São Paulo black press, O Clarim da Alvorada and A Voz da Raça, carried out a campaign in favor of property ownership, spreading among paulista black families the importance of property acquisition. These campaigns are an important sign for the relevance of buying a property for black families at that time. In this paper, we seek to analyze it as an intergenerational social security strategy, through the presentation of three cases of black families that accomplished this goal between 1920s and 1940s. The black families testimonies reported here indicate precocity, specificities and strategies that represent new challenges for the formulation of property ownership problem, from a racial point of view.

title: The color of the Naked Man: impasses of a white peripheral region before Brazilian modernism (Paraná, Brazil, 1953)

description: ABSTRACT In the mid-1950’s, the construction of a monument in Curitiba, Paraná, led the local elite to an impasse: how to be modern, in postwar Brazil, without giving up being white? Conceived as part of the centenary commemorations of the state of Paraná, the monument should dominate the Civic Center plaza - an administrative complex planned to symbolize the sudden transformation of Paraná into one of the richer states in the federation. However, the 21 stone giants that would comprise the monument ended up reduced to only one, the Naked Man, made by sculptors Erbo Stenzel and Humberto Cozzo. In this article, I analyze the meanings associated with the adaptation, construction and repercussion of the Naked Man, including the conflicts between local agents and modernist professionals that worked in the Brazilian capital, Rio de Janeiro. I trace the efforts of an elite group focused in updating their region according to the standards set by a modern movement developed in the centers of the nation’s cultural life. Facing resistance from a reactionary local elite group, the modern paranaenses were able to secure significant architectural projects, but only to retreat when they figured that being modern and Brazilian, in the postwar years, meant becoming less white.

title: Between inheritance and presence: the cultural heritage of black reference in Rio de Janeiro

description: ABSTRACT This article analyzes actions taken to acknowledge black inheritance through policies of memory and heritage during the first democratically elected government of the state of Rio de Janeiro in the 1980s, especially the protection of Pedra do Sal and the Monument to Zumbi. In order to understand these actions, firstly, the ways in which heritage policies at the federal level were transformed in the context of the country’s redemocratization are analyzed, and how they were in dialogue with the policies implemented at the state level of Rio de Janeiro. We verify the paradigms that underlie such narratives, while moving from macropolitics to the field of struggles of memory as intertwined universes. In the second section, events related to the patrimonialization of black heritage in the city in the 2000s are analyzed, namely, the recognition of Pedra do Sal as Quilombo in 2005, and the world heritage titles attributed to the city by Unesco in 2012 and 2017. Thus, it seeks to capture the representations of the heritage city and verify the values that prevail in each situation, identifying the presence of two paradigms that tension the field of heritage, here called the modern paradigm and the paradigm of heritage as a right. The notion of historical value triggered in the analyzed situations is one of the guiding threads through which analytical connections are established between heritage paradigms, historicity regimes, and the perceptions of past and present time.

title: Z8-200 in progress: paths and impasses in the cultural preservation through zoning in São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil) during the 1980s

description: ABSTRACT In 1975, the first instrument for cultural heritage preservation was established in São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil: the Z8-200 Special Zone. Its constitution meant the beginning of an innovative experience in the city, consistent with other urban preservation initiatives of that period, such as the 1979 Corredor Cultural in Rio de Janeiro. As part of the general zoning law, the Z8-200 represented an alternative to the traditional Heritage List, as it had not been established at the municipal level at that point. Its structure was well-founded and permeated with urban guidelines, although it presented some important limitations in practice. After a brief characterization of the instrument and its background, this article discusses the development and contradictions related to its implementation during the 1980s. This period is marked, on the one hand, by the regulation of the instrument, seeking to strengthen and encourage preservation through zoning, in reaction to the loss of significant cultural buildings in the city. On the other hand, the same decade witnessed the instrument’s emptying, susceptible to political circumstances, paving the way for the establishment of the Municipal Council for Preservation (Conpresp), which would assume the prerogative to defend the city’s cultural heritage.

title: Urban sites in redemocratization: new demands and ways to expand preservation practices

description: ABSTRACT This article deals with the responses to the demands of protection of cities made by new social agents to the federal institution of preservation, from 1979 to 1989, during the process of redemocratization in Brazil. Urban problems, intensified in the 1970s, involving the destruction of urban areas, as well as transformations in the listed sites, caused changes in the valuation of these cultural goods, since the demands did not necessarily correspond to the standards previously used to protect cities by the federal preservation institution. Until then modernist intellectual agents structured preservation actions and a hegemonic vision of what would represent a national identity: Brazilian colonial architecture and exceptional buildings. In response to new requests, other heritage values were adopted, admitting the heterogeneity of architectural styles on the sites, the urban historicity, and assuming the concept of city’s as documents in overcoming the stylistic criteria of valuing towns. The institution approached the inhabitants of the listed sites and promoted research for the production knowledge to establish parameters and analysis standards for the interventions requested by them. The 1988 Federal Constitution stands out, for being the first to define a guiding concept for preservation practices and for having social groups as protagonists in the valorization of cultural goods.
