On Robert Flaherty and the documentary form

Sir Denis Forman, Nick Broomfield, Stella Bruzzi, Michael Reynard, Paul Henley and George Stoney discuss Robert Flaherty and the Documentary Form Originally interviewed as part of the film 'A Boatload of Wild Irishman' Distributed by Icarus Films (AKA 'The Wandering Irishman') A BOATLOAD OF WILD IRISHMEN includes testimony from Flaherty himself as well as contributions from amongst others, Richard Leacock - cameraman on 'Louisiana Story' (1948) and father of the contemporary hand-held documentary style, Martha Flaherty - Flaherty's Inuit granddaughter, George Stoney - documentary filmmaker and professor at New York University, Sean Crosson - film scholar at the Huston School of Film, Jay Ruby - anthropologist and film scholar at Temple University, and Deirdre Ni Chonghaile - musician and folklorist from Arainn, as well as telling interviews with the people whose parents and grandparents Flaherty put onto the cinema screens of the world: Inuit, Samoans and, of obvious personal interest to the Irish filmmakers, the 'wild men' of Aran.

Neptune Odyssey: A Flagship Concept for the Exploration of the Neptune–Triton System

The Neptune Odyssey mission concept is a Flagship-class orbiter and atmospheric probe to the Neptune-Triton system. This bold mission of exploration would orbit an ice-giant planet to study the planet, its rings, small satellites, space environment, and the planet-sized moon Triton. Triton is a captured dwarf planet from the Kuiper Belt, twin of Pluto, and likely ocean world. Odyssey addresses Neptune system-level science, with equal priorities placed on Neptune, its rings, moons, space environment, and Triton. Between Uranus and Neptune, the latter is unique in providing simultaneous access to both an ice giant and a Kuiper Belt dwarf planet. The spacecraft - in a class equivalent to the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft - would launch by 2031 on a Space Launch System or equivalent launch vehicle and utilize a Jupiter gravity assist for a 12 yr cruise to Neptune and a 4 yr prime orbital mission; alternatively a launch after 2031 would have a 16 yr direct-to-Neptune cruise phase. Our solution provides annual launch opportunities and allows for an easy upgrade to the shorter (12 yr) cruise. Odyssey would orbit Neptune retrograde (prograde with respect to Triton), using the moon's gravity to shape the orbital tour and allow coverage of Triton, Neptune, and the space environment. The atmospheric entry probe would descend in ~37 minutes to the 10 bar pressure level in Neptune's atmosphere just before Odyssey's orbit-insertion engine burn. Odyssey's mission would end by conducting a Cassini-like "Grand Finale,"passing inside the rings and ultimately taking a final great plunge into Neptune's atmosphere

Adeus Maio! Salve Junho!: narrativas e representações dos festejos juninos em Belém do Pará nos anos de 1950

This study aims to analyze the narratives and representations of June festivities in Belém of Pará in the 1950s. These festivities won highlights in the pages of books, newspapers and magazines circulating in Belém from the period in question, where it was possible to find ads, chronicles and novels that deal with this festive time. The June festivals of great importance to a significant portion of belenense society, counted on the participation of several musical ensembles, “juninos” groups and audio equipment animating these events performed in various spaces of the suburbs and the city center. In addition, several were the views of journalists and intellectuals on this festive celebration, these being analyzed from the distribution of roles of values and behavior standards proposed for them in his writings. In this sense, the concept of representation, proposed by the French historian Roger Chartier, permeate the dissertation in question, in which the author points out that the speeches are interspersed strategies and practices that tend to impose authority and even induce the other the choices and they are built dialogically a game that includes interests, conflicts and negotiations. The research presented included aid supplies taken from the newspaper O Liberal, Folha do Norte, A Província do Pará, O Estado do Pará, A Vanguarda and the magazine Amazônia, published in the 1950s, as well as memoirs novels that talk about the subject worked here in the second half of the twentieth century.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorO presente trabalho busca analisar as narrativas e representações dos festejos juninos de Belém do Pará nos anos de 1950. Esses festejos ganharam destaques nas páginas de livros, jornais e revistas que circulavam em Belém no período em questão, onde era possível encontrar anúncios, crônicas e romances que versavam sobre esse momento festivo. As festas juninas, de grande importância para parcela significativa da sociedade belenense, contavam com a participação de diversos conjuntos musicais, grupos juninos e de aparelhos sonoros animando esses eventos realizados em diversos espaços do subúrbio e do centro da cidade. Além disso, vários eram os pontos de vistas de jornalistas e intelectuais sobre essa celebração festiva, sendo esses analisados a partir dos papeis de difusão de valores e de padrões de comportamentos propostos por eles em seus escritos. Nesse sentido, o conceito de representação, proposto pelo historiador francês Roger Chartier, permeará a dissertação em questão, no qual esse autor assinala que os discursos estão entremeados de estratégias e práticas que tendem a impor autoridade e até mesmo induzirem o outro a escolhas e que são construídos dialogicamente num jogo que inclui interesses, embates e negociações. A pesquisa apresentada contou com auxílio de fontes retiradas dos jornais O Liberal, Folha do Norte, A Província do Pará, O Estado do Pará, A Vanguarda e da Revista Amazônia, publicados na década de 1950, assim como romances memorialísticos que falam sobre a temática aqui trabalhada, na segunda metade do século XX
