Full textAbstract:
This chapter explains the principles of how best to use the main diagnostic tools in paediatric neurology in the context of evidence-based medicine. The description of neuroradiology includes the principles of DWI, SWI, MRS, ASL and fMRI, and the usefulness of ultrasound, CT and PET scanning; neuroradiological anatomy, terminology, common incidental findings and normal myelination patterns. An approach to white matter and developmental brain abnormalities is depicted. Neurogenetic testing discusses the capabilities and limitations of microarray for Comparative Genomic Hybridization (copy-number variants), gene panel testing, and whole exome and whole genome next generation sequencing. The chapter offers the theory, practicality and pitfalls of electroencephalography, peripheral neurophysiology and evoked potential testing. Common practical procedures are described, including lumbar puncture, muscle biopsy and shunt tapping with an understanding of the place of special investigations on CSF, blood, urine, and skin. The scope of neuropsychological testing is described.

Full textAbstract:
In the next two decades epigenetics could revolutionize understanding and treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. New research already demonstrates that manipulation of epigenetic mechanisms in vivo and in vitro can ameliorate a host of pathogenic processes associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s (HD), and multiple sclerosis (MS), among others. These advances have come relatively rapidly for a field that is still in its infancy compared to the much longer history of epigenetics in developmental biology. Epigenetic modifications are all-encompassing, from nucleotides to amino acids. They are capable of altering transcriptional to biochemical activity in a consistent manner across thousands of genes and hundreds of biologic pathways, yet they can do so differentially even in individuals or cells with identical gene codes. As such, epigenetic modifications are likely to touch on virtually all the mechanisms described in this book.

Full textAbstract:
Krabbe disease (globoid cell leukodystrophy) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the lysosomal galactocerebrosidase (galactosyl ceramidase) gene. Krabbe disease usually presents as a severe leukodystrophy in early infancy and childhood. In contrast, adult patients usually present with progressive spastic paraparesis. Other signs of the disease include peripheral neuropathy, dysarthria, cerebellar ataxia, pes cavus deep sensory signs, tongue atrophy, optic neuropathy, cognitive decline. Cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration is moderately increased in adults. High signals of cortico-spinal tracts on brain MRI are highly suggestive and this typical aspect may be associated with hyper-intensities of optic radiations, and of the posterior part of the corpus callosum.

Full textAbstract:
Staphylococcal species are common commensals of the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals but only in very recent years has zoonotic infections been recognised. They can also be associated with infection and disease, especially coagulase positive organisms. Staphylococcus aureus is relatively frequently carried by humans in the nasal passages and is a cause of infections in people including bacteraemias in hospitalised patients. More recently some strains of Staphylococcus aureus have acquired a resistance gene (mecA) which renders them resistant to meticillin (meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA). MRSA isolates are of major importance in healthcare situations as well as increasingly in the community. Animals can also be carriers of Staphylococcus aureus although less frequently than humans and MRSA can be carried or infect several different host species. For companion animals such as dogs and cats, the most frequently isolated MRSA strains are similar to the common local human healthcare strains; thus for the UK, EMRSA-15 and -16. This suggests a reverse zoonosis with spill over from the human population into their companion animals. In horses the situation is different, with some horses carrying or infected with human epidemic strains but others infected with strains less frequently seen in people. For food-producing animals the picture is different again with a particular strain, ST398, which appears to circulate endemically in animal populations, such as pigs, and can spill over into the human population where it can cause carriage as well as infection and disease. The transmission appears to be by direct contact with animals rather than through the food-chain.Where risk factors for infection with MRSA have been studied in animals they appear similar to some of the risks for human infection. Therefore, for control of MRSA in animals measures such as improved hygiene and good antibacterial stewardship are important.

Warren, Michelle R. Good History, Bad Romance, and the Making of Literature. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198795148.003.0012.
Full textAbstract:
Genre categories are shaped by cultural context and can change over time. This case study of Henry Lovelich’s Grail and Merlin (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 80) accounts for the malleability of ‘romance’ by assessing in detail how perceptions of genre are mediated by form, politics, religion, archival methods, aesthetics, and pedagogy. When MS 80 was created in the fifteenth century, the English text was part of a multilingual tradition in which romance and history were inherently entangled and overlapping. In the sixteenth century, the Grail and King Arthur served as politically useful history. As the religious polemics of the Reformation subsided, Lovelich’s translation came to represent the beginning of English national romance. By the mid-twentieth century, it had been repositioned as a much maligned ‘bad romance’. Later, from the perspective of manuscript studies, evaluations became more positive. Now, early in the twenty-first century, the expansion of digital archives supports new approaches that challenge traditional distinctions between literary history and book history.

Full textAbstract:
PAISAJES DE LIBERTAD reconstruye el proceso de transición de una sociedad esclavista a una sociedad libre en el Pacífico colombiano, la región de la Nueva Granada donde la esclavitud tuvo más peso. Muestra que allí la gente negra libre gozó de más autonomía que la mayoría de la gente negra del resto del continente debido al acceso a recursos naturales y al control territorial que tuvo. De esta manera, la investigación ayuda a entender la construcción y el significado de la libertad, uno de los pilares de los estados nacionales forjados en los siglos xix y xx en América Latina. Esta publicación presenta a los lectores la versión en español del ganador del premio Michael Jiménez 2019, otorgado por la Sección Colombia de la Asociación de Estudios Latinoamericanos, lasa, al mejor libro sobre historia de Colombia publicado entre los años 2016 y 2018. Según el jurado, “Paisajes de libertad se constituye como un importante aporte a la historia del país, por cuanto explora no solo una región que no ha sido prioritaria para la historiografía, sino que lo hace a partir de la historia ambiental y social”. “Este es un libro hermoso […] que hace uso de un profuso y detallado material de archivo para sostener sus argumentos […] Es un impresionante producto de investigación histórica y geográfica que resistirá el paso del tiempo y se convertirá en un clásico de la creciente literatura sobre la experiencia de las comunidades afrodescendientes en el continente americano”.

Rosen, Jeremy. Minor Characters Have Their Day. Columbia University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.7312/columbia/9780231177443.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
How do genres develop? In what ways do they reflect changing political and cultural trends? What do they tell us about the motivations of publishers and readers? Combining close readings and formal analysis with a sociology of literary institutions and markets, Minor Characters Have Their Day offers a compelling new approach to genre study and contemporary fiction. Focusing on the booming genre of books that transform minor characters from canonical literary texts into the protagonists of new works, Jeremy Rosen makes broader claims about the state of contemporary fiction, the strategies of the publishing industry over recent decades, and the function of literary characters. Rosen traces the recent surge in “minor-character elaboration” to the late 1960s and works such as Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea and Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. These early examples often recover the voices of marginalized individuals and groups. As the genre has exploded between the 1980s and the present, with novels about Ahab’s wife, Huck Finn’s father, and Mr. Dalloway, it has begun to embody the neoliberal commitments of subjective experience, individual expression, and agency. Eventually, large-scale publishers capitalized on the genre as a way to appeal to educated audiences aware of the prestige of the classics and to draw in identity-based niche markets. Rosen’s conclusion ties the understudied evolution of minor-character elaboration to the theory of literary character.

Full textAbstract:
Hypermobility-related syndromes constitute a family of heritable disorders of connective tissue (HDCT) that derive from abnormalities affecting genes that encode for the connective tissue matrix proteins such as collagen, fibrillin, and tenascin. They range from such commonplace though poorly recognized conditions such as the joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) to the better-known, if more rare, eponymous syndromes such as Marfan's syndrome (MFS) and the different types of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). The more common presentations are with skin pathology (bruising, scaring), joint or spinal and/or muscle pain and instability with vulnerability to injury and chronic widespread pain, cardiac valve pathologies, and in MFS and vascular EDS, arterial dilatation with the risk of dissection and rupture. JHS (widely considered synonymous with the EDS hypermobility type) is further complicated by cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction such as orthostatic intolerance, palpitations, and syncope, and the recently described and commonly encountered pangastrointestinal dysmotility. The latter can manifest as gastro-oesophageal reflux, gastroparesis, slow-transit constipation, or rectal evacuatory dysfunction with rectal intussusception. In addition, HDCT are associated with bladder and uterine problems as a consequence of pelvic floor weakness. Such multisystemic conditions need to be managed by a multidisciplinary team able to draw on medical, surgical, physical, and psychological interventions by appropriately experienced specialists and therapists. This chapter introduces the reader to the epidemiology, genetics, classification, and clinical presentation of JHS, EDS, and MFS. It also describes the key investigations required to support a diagnosis and assess complications of an HDCT, as well as the multidisciplinary approach to management.

Full textAbstract:
Two genetic technologies capable of making heritable changes to the human genome have revived interest in, and in some quarters a very familiar panic concerning, so-called germline interventions. These technologies are most recently the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to edit genes in non-viable IVF zygotes and Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy (MRT). The possibility of using either of these techniques in humans has encountered the most violent hostility and suspicion. Here, we counter the stance of the US NIH and its supporters by showing that differing global moralities are free to exist unimpeded under international biolaw regimes, which do not in any way represent unified opinion against such technologies. Furthermore, we suggest a more rational approach to evaluating them through analysis of similar technologies which have caused past controversy.

Full textAbstract:
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction is a controversial entity which has only been reported in the past 30 years. It is becoming more frequently diagnosed due to the use of echocardiography and MRI. It can present in fetal life, infancy, childhood, and adult life. Clinically, the patient can present with cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac failure, systemic emboli due to thrombosis within the ventricles, and sudden death. It can be a genetic entity associated with mutations in many genes associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. It is a rare entity found at autopsy and is more common in children than adults. In the past the prognosis has been considered worse in children then in adults. Treatment is usually empirical, dealing with the cardiac failure, arrhythmias, and thromboemboli.

Full textAbstract:
Neuroimaging of psychotic disorders began in the 1970s with studies of brain structure, followed by studies of blood flow, glucose metabolism, and receptor chemistry. More recently, studies of functional activation, connectivity, and neurotransmission have been added. The widespread availability of MRI has liberated researchers from the constraints of postmortem research and the limitations of inferring brain abnormalities through neurochemical effects in plasma or urine. Neuroimaging researchers aim to establish diagnostic markers, explain abnormal mental states, test anatomical and neurochemical models, and study the association of risk genes with brain abnormalities. Most studies have been cross-sectional and limited in size. But the ability to assess patients longitudinally and with large-scale study designs will ensure a prominent position for this research domain in the study of psychotic disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Adiós, señor presidente es una obra que desarrolla el pensamiento sobre técnicas y métodos de gobierno, a partir de la propuesta de la planificación estratégica situacional (PES) como un campo que se ubica en las antípodas de la planificación económica tradicional y la planificación estratégica corporativa. Esta propuesta teórica se combina con un desarrollo novelado que refleja a manera de homenaje la experiencia del autor en el gobierno del presidente chileno Salvador Allende. Esas anécdotas personales aparecen como clara evidencia empírica frente a la propuesta teórica que se intercala en los diferentes capítulos. Esta obra no fue pensada para “expertos”, y debería ser de lectura sugerida para políticos y para quienes están o piensan estar en funciones de gobierno y de gestión en instancias nacionales, provinciales o municipales de los diferentes países de América Latina, espacio territorial al cual el profesor Carlos Matus dedicó toda su reflexión en su ideal de construir sociedades más justas y solidarias. La crisis de los partidos políticos que se ha instalado en nuestros países, producto de una clara separación entre los problemas de la política y los problemas de la gente, exige ser saldada para una mejora sustancial de la calidad institucional de las organizaciones públicas. Esto depende, en gran parte, de problematizar el tema del gobierno más allá del proyecto político, para relacionarlo con las capacidades de gobierno y la gobernabilidad.

Full textAbstract:
La conservación y el uso sostenible de la biodiversidad son uno de los desafíos mas importantes que tiene que afrontar la humanidad. La biodiversidad es esencial para la agricultura porque aporta genes y servicios ecológicos, y la agricultura es la principal actividad que atenta contra la biodiversidad, por la simplificación de los agroecosistemas y uso de pesticidas. El diseño y manejo de agroecosistemas sustentables requiere fortalecer procesos ecológicos, como la regulación biótica y el ciclado de nutrientes. Y esto requiere correctos niveles de biodiversidad funcional, cultivada y espontánea, dentro de los predios y en el paisaje circundante que facilita el flujo de los componentes de la biodiversidad. Esto constituye un campo nuevo en las ciencias agronómicas, un área de vacancia que este libro pretende abordar, como obra de consulta para alumnos de grado y postgrado y todas aquellas personas interesadas en el diseño y manejo de agroecosistemas sustentables y resilientes.

Hogan, Patrick Colm. Style in Narrative. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197539576.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Style has often been understood both too broadly and too narrowly. In consequence, it has not defined a psychologically coherent area of study. In the opening chapter, Hogan first defines style so as to make possible a systematic theoretical account through cognitive and affective science. This definition stresses that style varies by both scope and level—thus, the range of text or texts that may share a style (from a single passage to an historical period) and the components of a work that might involve a shared style (including story, narration, and verbalization). Hogan illustrates the main points of this chapter by reference to several works, prominently Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. Subsequent chapters in the first part focus on under-researched aspects of literary style. The second chapter explores the level of story construction for the scope of an authorial canon, treating Shakespeare. The third turns to verbal narration in a single work, Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. Part two, on film style, begins with another theoretical chapter. It turns, in chapter five, to the perceptual interface in the genre of “painterly” films, examining works by Rodriguez, Mehta, Rohmer, and Husain. The sixth chapter treats the level of plot in the postwar films of Ozu. The remaining film chapter turns to visual narration in a single work, Lu’s Nanjing! Nanjing! The third part addresses theoretical and interpretive issues bearing on style in graphic fiction, with a focus on Spiegelman’s Maus. An Afterword touches briefly on implications of stylistic analysis for political critique.

Bishop, Daniel. The Presence of the Past. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190932688.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In the tumultuous era of the late sixties and early seventies, several currents of American art and culture coalesced around a broad sensibility that foregrounded and explored the immediacy of lived experience as both an aesthetic and political imperative. But in films set in the historical past, this sensibility acquired complex additional resonances by speaking to the ephemerality of the present moment through a framework of history, myth, nostalgia, and other forms of temporal alienation and distance. The Presence of the Past explores the implications of this complex moment in Hollywood cinema through several prominent examples released in the years 1967 to 1974. Key genres are explored in detailed case studies: the outlaw film (Bonnie and Clyde and Badlands), the revisionist Western (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, McCabe and Mrs. Miller), the neo-noir (Chinatown), and the nostalgia film (The Last Picture Show and American Graffiti). In these films, “the past” is more than a matter of genre or setting. Rather, it is a richly diverse, often paradoxical concern in its own right, whose study bridges diverse conceptual territories within soundtrack studies, including the sixties pop score, myth criticism, media technologies, and the role of classical music in compilation scoring. Against a broader background of an industry and film culture that were witnessing a stylistic and aesthetic diversification in the use of music and sound design, The Presence of the Past argues for the film-philosophical importance of the soundtrack for cultivating an imagined experiential understanding of the past.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet has allowed people to access information that previously was difficult to obtain. It is important to know the information is true and accurate and does not represent ‘fake news’ or alternative facts. Patents describe inventions and contain accurate information, as patents are examined and their accuracy can be challenged. This book shows how patents and the inventions they describe have shaped the modern world, that is the world in the twenty-first century. Patent documents that date from the mid-nineteenth century to the present time are used in the text and the subject matter covers many technical areas: for example, Morse code, the diode, triode, transistors, television, frozen foods, ring-pulls for soft drink cans, board games such as Monopoly, gene editing, metamaterials, MRI, computerised tomography, insulin and monoclonal antibodies such as Herceptin. Up to a page of text is used for each entry and the text is backed up by drawings from patent documents. Patent numbers are included to allow interested readers to trace the documents. Inventions described in the patents are placed in a historical perspective. For example, the role of the cavity magnetron and radar are described in the context of the Second World War, whereas the diode is discussed in the development of broadcasting at the beginning of the twentieth century. Entries cover examples from life sciences, engineering and physical sciences in the modern world.

Full textAbstract:
This biography of Esther Zimmer Lederberg highlights the importance of her research work, which revealed the unique features of bacterial sex, essential for our understanding of molecular biology and evolution. A Hidden Legacy relates how, she and her husband Joshua Lederberg established the new field of bacterial genetics together, in the decade leading up to the discovery of the DNA double helix. Their impressive series of achievements include: the discovery of λ bacteriophage and of the first plasmid, known as the F-factor; the demonstration that viruses carry bacterial genes between bacteria; and the elucidation of fundamental properties of bacterial sex. This successful collaboration earned Joshua the 1958 Nobel Prize, which he shared with two of Esther’s mentors, George Beadle and Edward Tatum. Esther Lederberg’s contributions, however, were overlooked by the Nobel committee, an example of institutional discrimination known as the Matilda Effect. Esther Lederberg should also have been recognized for inventing replica plating, an elegant technique that she originated by re-purposing her compact makeup pad as a kind of ink stamp for conveniently transferring bacterial colonies from one petri dish to another. Instead, the credit for the invention is given to her famous husband, or, at best, to Dr. and Mrs. Lederberg. Within a few years of winning the Nobel Prize, Joshua Lederberg divorced his wife, leaving Esther without a laboratory, cut off from research funding, and facing uncertain employment. In response, she created a new social circle made up of artists and musicians, including a new soulmate. She devoted herself to a close-knit musical ensemble, the Mid-Peninsula Recorder Orchestra, an avocation that flourished for over forty years, until the final days of her life.

Quando esteve em Sobral, em visita à Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú – UVA, Alessandro Portelli talvez não imaginasse que estaria plantando uma importante semente entre os estudantes da região. Essa semente germinou e, anos depois, temos inúmeras iniciativas e trabalhos de grande qualidade inspirados na obra do mestre italiano. Alguns deles, pensados e desenvolvidos no âmbito do Grupo de Estudos de História Oral, liderado pela professora Telma Bessa Sales, que por meio das professoras Yara Khoury e Heloísa Cruz, da PUC-SP, conheceu Portelli e, a partir de então, sempre o tem presente eu seus estudos, como neste livro, prefaciado por ele. Este livro é mais do que um apanhado de excelentes trabalhos de pesquisa em história oral, mas uma homenagem àquele que, gentilmente, compartilhou um pouco de seu conhecimento com uma geração ávida por produzir conhecimento sobre sua gente, sua terra, ou seja, sobre suas próprias histórias. A metodologia de Portelli ajudou a semear essas histórias e está presente em cada página a seguir, cujo fruto mais importante é o potencial de seguir inspirando mais e mais pesquisadores a ouvir, contar e registrar para a História nuances que, sem essa atitude, passariam despercebidas e normalmente cairiam no esquecimento.

Merlo, Alessandra. Congresos de amor Entrevistas sobre los italianos y el sexo, 1963. Universidad de los Andes, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.30778/2019.17.
Full textAbstract:
En el verano de 1963 Pier Paolo Pasolini recorre Italia con un micrófono en la mano. En las plazas de los pueblos, en las playas del norte y del sur, en las discotecas y en los trenes entrevista a la gente y le pregunta sobre el sexo: qué papel tiene en su vida, si para los hombres es igual que para las mujeres, si el matrimonio resuelve o satisface la sexualidad de cada uno. En sus preguntas toca los temas de la virginidad, el machismo, la diversidad, el matrimonio y la prostitución. Lo que nace de ese viaje es un documental, Comizi d’amore, que reflexiona sobre los límites y los tabúes de una sociedad, pero también sobre las formas de hablar de algo íntimo y colectivo a la vez, algo que a veces es censurado, a veces reivindicado, en muchos casos disimulado detrás de lugares comunes. El resultado es una radiografía poética de su entorno que logra dar voz a gente anónima junto con personajes conocidos, como Giuseppe Ungaretti, Alberto Moravia, Camilla Cederna y Oriana Fallaci, entre otros. La película circuló muy poco en Italia y todavía menos en el mundo de habla hispana, a pesar del valor social, cultural y político del experimento de Pasolini. Son justamente esos valores los que la hacen, hoy, todavía más interesante de lo que fue en su momento. Estas entrevistas muestran en efecto el atrevimiento, la libertad de nombrar y también el conservadurismo de una época; pero sobre todo su valor está en preguntarnos dónde estamos nosotros frente a la sexualidad y frente a los temas que en ese ámbito todavía limitan y dividen, contraponen y estigmatizan. ¿Cómo le contestaríamos, nosotros y en nuestra época, a Pasolini? Así, esta edición presenta por primera vez la traducción al español de las entrevistas y del primer argumento (Cien pares de bueyes), con unas fotos de Angelo Novi, que acompañó a Pasolini en su correría por Italia.

Full textAbstract:
Zaynab, first published in 1913, is widely cited as the first Arabic novel, yet the previous eight decades saw hundreds of novels translated into Arabic from English and French. This vast literary corpus influenced generations of Arab writers but has, until now, been considered a curious footnote in the genre's history. Incorporating these works into the history of the Arabic novel, this book offers a transformative new account of modern Arabic literature, world literature, and the novel. This book rewrites the history of the global circulation of the novel by moving Arabic literature from the margins of comparative literature to its center. Considering the wide range of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century translation practices, the book argues that Arabic translators did far more than copy European works; they authored new versions of them, producing sophisticated theorizations of the genre. These translations and the reading practices they precipitated form the conceptual and practical foundations of Arab literary modernity, necessitating an overhaul of our notions of translation, cultural exchange, and the global. The book shows how translators theorized the Arab world not as Europe's periphery but as an alternative center in a globalized network. It affirms the central place of (mis)translation in both the history of the novel in Arabic and the novel as a transnational form itself.

Cet ouvrage collectif rassemble vingt-quatre contributions scientifiques sélectionnées parmi les présentations des onzièmes journées du réseau Lexicologie, Terminologie, Traduction. Ces journées intitulées « Lexique(s) et genre(s) textuel(s) : approches sur corpus » eurent lieu à Grenoble, France du 25 au 28 septembre 2018. Les études lexicales ont connu un profond renouveau depuis quelques années avec l'exploitation massive de corpus de données textuelles pour les études linguistiques. Ces approches ont à la fois renouvelé les méthodes de collecte des données, mais aussi les descriptions linguistiques, désormais davantage basées sur l'usage. L’accent de cette édition 2018 a été mis sur les méthodes de description des unités lexicales exploitant les corpus textuels. Le Réseau LTT: Présent et actif de longue date sur l’ensemble du continent africain, le réseau **Lexicologie, Terminologie, Traduction (LTT)** a été l’un des premiers réseaux de chercheurs de l’Agence universitaire de la Francophonie avant de devenir une association internationale qui poursuit les objectifs et les idéaux de ses fondateurs et continue à œuvrer en partenariat avec les acteurs de la Francophonie. Depuis plus de trente ans, le réseau LTT inscrit ses travaux au cœur de la problématique de la diversité linguistique et du plurilinguisme. Il fédère vingt-quatre centres de recherche implantés sur quatre continents (Amérique du Nord, Asie, Europe et Afrique) et rassemble plusieurs centaines de chercheurs issus d’un grand nombre de pays francophones, voire de territoires où le français est une langue seconde, sans statut officiel ni lien génétique ou historique avec les langues locales.

Full textAbstract:
This book argues that pornographic film relies on a particular "Victorianness" in generating eroticism—a Gothic Victorianness that is monstrous and restrained, repressed but also perverse, static but also transformative, and preoccupied with gender, sexuality, race, and time. Pornographic films enthusiastically expose the perceived hypocrisy of this Victorianness, rhetorically equating it with mainstream, legitimate culture, as a way of staging pornography’s alleged sexual authenticity and transgressive nature. Through an analysis of porn set during the nineteenth century and porn adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s Alice books, Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this book shows how these adaptations expose the implicit pornographic aspects of “legitimate” culture while also revealing the extent to which “high” and “low” genres rely on each other for self-definition. In the process, neo-Victorian pornographies draw on Gothic spaces and icons in order to situate itself as this Gothic other, utilizing the Gothic and the monstrous to craft a transformative, pornographic space. These neo-Victorian Gothic pornographies expose the way the genre as a whole emphasizes, navigates, transgresses, and renegotiates gender, sexuality, and race through the lens of history and legacy.

Full textAbstract:
La cultura política comprende las ideas, valores y hábitos de individuos y grupos referidos al proceso político, sus actores e instituciones. El renovado interés por su estudio coincide con la historia reciente de expansión de la democracia: desde mediados de la década de los setenta, alrededor de ochenta países adoptaron esa forma de gobierno en un lapso de veinticinco años. En estas sociedades, como la argentina y la mayoría de las latinoamericanas, una cultura política democrática parece ser esencial para la persistencia y la calidad del sistema, tanto como pueden serlo las cuestiones económicas e institucionales. El potencial transformador de esas nuevas experiencias democráticas no oculta los problemas que, como vemos en América Latina, afrontan muchas de ellas para responder a las expectativas creadas con su instauración. El establecimiento de una democracia electoral no abre el paso automáticamente a instituciones efectivas, que den respuesta a las demandas y preferencias de la gente y actúen eficazmente para solucionar los problemas del país. Es en la estabilidad, profundidad y efectividad de la democracia, más allá del periódico ejercicio electoral, donde la cultura política cumple un rol prominente. El libro se divide en dos partes. La primera aborda las cuestiones teóricas generales. El Capítulo 1 repasa el fenómeno de expansión global de la democracia que tuvo lugar desde mediados de los años setenta, así como los aportes y limitaciones de los modelos utilizados en su análisis, para finalizar con un balance de más de un cuarto de siglo de democracia en la Argentina. El Capítulo 2 se ocupa de los enfoques teóricos para el estudio de la cultura política. Examina el origen y evolución del concepto y las principales hipótesis y teorías sobre las que se apoya la investigación. La segunda parte trata, sobre una base empírica, algunos de los temas más importantes de la cultura política argentina. El Capítulo 3 pone brevemente en perspectiva histórica la experiencia iniciada en 1983. A partir del Capítulo 4, que enfoca la cuestión del apoyo a la democracia y la evaluación de su desempeño por parte de los argentinos, se recurre a datos proporcionados por conocidas encuestas transnacionales para cubrir el periodo que se extiende desde la recuperación de la democracia hasta la actualidad. Los análisis se fundan en procesamientos propios de las bases de datos oficiales de la Encuesta Mundial de Valores y, de manera complementaria, en los sucesivos informes de Latinobarómetro. Junto a los estudios descriptivos y a las técnicas tradicionales de análisis multivariado, se construyen modelos de regresión para indagar los nexos causales sobre algunos de los principales fenómenos abordados. El Capítulo 5 describe e interpreta la crisis de confianza en las instituciones políticas, mientras que el Capítulo 6 hace lo propio con la evolución del interés por la política desde la restauración democrática. La participación en organizaciones voluntarias y la confianza interpersonal se hallan entre los principales componentes del capital social de los argentinos sobre los que profundiza el Capítulo 7. Éste explora los factores causales relacionados con la inserción en asociaciones civiles, la confianza generalizada y el activismo político no convencional. El Capítulo 8 constituye una aproximación al estudio de las diferencias regionales de cultura política en el país. Presenta los resultados generales de la Encuesta Comunicación y Cultura Política en el Gran La Plata, dirigida por el autor a mediados de 2008, y los compara con las características del contexto nacional y de algunas grandes subdivisiones de la sociedad argentina que surgen de las encuestas internacionales. El Epílogo ofrece una visión sumaria de los hallazgos y conclusiones obtenidos.

Full textAbstract:
En cada una de estas dos etnografías que componen este libro, se lee una suerte de conciencia crítica de lo que implica el pecado original de la Antropología (el colonialismo) y por ello se entiende quizá cierto distanciamiento de ella en los profesores. Las etnografías que presentan los profesores son dos historias que asocian las realidades de poblaciones indígenas de dos espacios territoriales de Colombia: Caribe y Llanos orientales. Esa conciencia crítica de lo que ha sido históricamente el sello de nacimiento de la Antropología, es precisamente lo que ha dado diversidad a la misma disciplina en sus aproximaciones y ha permitido que existan propuestas distintas a ese proyecto inicial colonial. Las Ciencias Sociales, de todos modos, se han de mover entre las tensiones políticas para generar conocimientos sobre la realidad y, como trabajamos con gente, siempre tendremos afortunadamente la exigencia de preguntarnos si lo que estamos haciendo es ética y políticamente acertado. En este sentido, este libro busca aportar a las reflexiones sobre la relación entre producción de conocimientos, poder, historia y construcción de una región que no excluya lo mejor de nuestra civilización, sin dejar de lado las tristes experiencias y lecciones que ha dejado a su paso también. Este trabajo de los profesores Jorge Sánchez-Maldonado y Nancy Espinel Riveros, pone en contacto a dos investigadores que existen juntos hoy, y que, con orígenes distintos y territorios distintos, piensan desde la institución las posibilidades de producir un conocimiento que va más allá de la Antropología, indeterminación disciplinaria que se deriva de que su existencia como profesores e investigadores, y que tiene que ver con merodear desde hace mucho en territorios disciplinares que no fueron los suyos, pero que con su pasión por conocer y aprender han contribuido a la formación. Jorge, en la Escuela de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales, y Nancy, en la Escuela de Arquitectura, esperan seguir tendiendo puentes para producir un conocimiento adecuado a los tiempos que corren.

Sousa, Ana Paula Gaspar de, Carlos Augusto Pereira dos Santos, Patrícia de Fátima Melo Rodrigues Sena, and Ronaldo Moreira Andrade. Escritos sobre a estação Ipueiras. Editora SertãoCult, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.35260/87429298-2020.
Full textAbstract:
Esta obra é composta de textos, crônicas, versos e poesias de autores regionais que tiveram suas vidas marcadas e transformadas a partir do ano de 1910, com a chegada da ferrovia, evento que mudou não só a face da cidade de Ipueiras, no interior cearense, mas também seus hábitos, costumes e modo de vida. As cidades e vilas por onde a ferrovia passou convidam a viajar pelas páginas do tempo, seguindo os trilhos da antiga estrada de ferro, mais conhecida como Linha Norte. Ligando a cidade de Camocim aos Sertões dos Inhamuns, cortando milhas e milhas de sertões bravios com suas imponentes locomotivas, chamadas carinhosamente de “Maria Fumaça”, semelhantes a verdadeiros “Dragões de Ferro”, cuspindo fogo e sibilando, anunciando que o progresso finalmente havia chegado ao Sertão. É um trabalho, encabeçado pela Secretaria de Educação de Ipueiras, que buscou parceria de autores ipueirenses já consagrados, como o jornalista Frota Neto, a cordelista Dalinha Catunda, como também de pessoas que se interessam por nossa história, como a Mestra em Geografia Luciana Andrade Catunda, o historiador Antônio Genilson Vieira de Paiva, o professor Francisco de Assis Lima (Fury), o ipueirense Tadeu Fontenele e, ainda, um belíssimo texto do saudoso cronista ipueirense Bérgson Frota (in memoriam), já publicado anteriormente no jornal O Povo. Este livro traz também, em comemoração ao centenário ocorrido em 2017, do ilustre ipueirense Gerardo Mourão, um belíssimo texto intitulado “Gerardo Mello Mourão e o Trem”, de autoria do seu biógrafo, o reconhecido escritor cearense José Luís Lira. Se pudéssemos comparar esta jornada literária a uma locomotiva, poderíamos dizer que o combustível seria a saudade e o maquinista seria uma mistura nostálgica das figuras daqueles tempos. No primeiro vagão, viria uma imensa carga de informações sobre a história do surgimento da Linha Norte, com o impacto da sua chegada em nossa localidade, segundo o olhar do Professor Genilson Paiva. O segundo vagão traria um relato da Mestra em Geografia Luciana Catunda sobre “O algodão e a ferrovia na mobilidade do território cearense”, um destaque para o escoamento da produção algodoeira, o chamado “ouro branco”. No terceiro vagão, viriam as valiosas crônicas do professor Fury, que nos transportam até a antiga estação ferroviária, com o seu vai e vem de viajantes: aventureiros, comerciantes, migrantes em busca de melhores oportunidades ou, simplesmente, passageiros que faziam de cada chegada e partida do trem sempre um grande acontecimento, que atraía olhares curiosos, vendedores ambulantes e até mesmo as moças da cidade, que, como nos romances de Leon Tolstói, sonhavam em encontrar ali um grande amor. No quarto vagão viria o encanto e a beleza do trabalho de Dalinha Catunda, neta do “chefe da estação”, seu Gonçalo Ximenes Aragão, que nos embala em seus versos e poesias, onde a alegria da chegada dava lugar à tristeza da partida, até a chegada do próximo trem na estação. Dalinha nos conta a história da passagem de um rei por Ipueiras – não um rei qualquer, mas um rei nordestino – o Rei do Baião. No ano de 1966, no prédio da estação, cantou para aquela gente que delirava com os acordes da sanfona do “Velho Lua”. O quinto vagão vem carregado de nostalgia e de personagens da infância e juventude do jornalista Frota Neto, que se perpetuaram na história do trem e nos fazem sentir como se lá também estivéssemos vivenciando aquele cotidiano que ainda hoje se faz presente pelas estórias e anedotas de figuras como a Dona Maria Capoeira – cafezeira e quituteira da estação ferroviária, testemunha de grandes momentos desta história, agora existente somente na memória dos antigos e pela presença dos velhos trilhos e estações ferroviárias que insistem em resistir à força do tempo e do descaso das políticas governamentais e de preservação patrimonial. No sexto vagão, Tadeu Fontenele nos fala sobre o “Show do Luiz Gonzaga em Ipueiras” e faz uma narrativa linda da sua aventura com sua mãe, Dona Ineizita, na garupa da sua bicicleta, do Centro da cidade até o Bairro da Estação, para não perder a apresentação do ídolo. O sétimo vagão traz uma crônica do jovem escritor ipueirense Bérgson Frota, cujo título, “O Tempo do Trem em Ipueiras”, bem poderia dar nome a este pequeno livro, de tanto que se identifica com o sentimento comum aos demais autores. O oitavo vagão viria trazendo o orgulho de nossa Ipueiras ter como filho o ilustre poeta Gerardo Mourão, cujo centenário de nascimento ocorreu em 2017, comparado a Dante Alighieri, eleito pela Guilda Órfica, secular irmandade internacional de poetas, o maior poeta do século XX, conforme trajetória sintetiza tão bem o Professor Zé Luís Lira. Finalmente, no último vagão, os professores Ronaldo Moreira e Paula Gaspar nos presenteiam com recortes da história da Escola Juarez Catunda, localizada no Bairro da Estação, equipamento que viabilizou a realização deste projeto, através do Programa Mais Cultura nas Escolas, onde os idealizadores optaram, dentre tantas alternativas, por nos trazer estes Escritos Sobre a Estação Ipueiras.
