PARA DONDE MIRAN LOS OJOS: CONFLUENCIAS ENTRE LOCURA, (DES)IDENTIDAD Y VIOLENCIA EN LA OBRA DE JOÃO GUIMARÃES ROSA, SILVINA OCAMPO Y LUIS MARTÍN-SANTOS

This dissertation studies the representation of madness in the literary works of three twentieth-century authors, namely, João Guimarães Rosa (from Brazil), Silvina Ocampo (from Argentina), and Luis Martín-Santos (from Spain). The first chapter argues that madness in Ocampo’s “El castigo”, Rosa’s “Buriti”, and Martín-Santos, Tiempo de silencio, reveals a series of conflicts between tradition and modernity, rather than the alleged symptoms of an individual suffering from a mental illness. After comparing the three works, it is evident that the decisions of their characters reproduce certain values idealized by authoritarian cultures. The second chapter discusses Rosa’s “Substância”, Ocampo’s “La casa de azúcar”, and a reference to a Goya’s paintings in Tiempo de silencio, in which the image of a crazy woman is recurrent theme. Through a reading of Carlo Ginzburg’s Historia nocturna it is suggested the naturalization of this theme has an economic origin, since women have often been economically dependent and socially vulnerable. However, the three narratives subvert a status quo insofar as madness reveals a set of beliefs that permeate the subject of reason, who can identify madness in the other. To this end, it is examined the constitution of the subject, that is to say, how a subject becomes oneself. The central chapter of this dissertation, the third one, tackles the theme of the mirror in “O espelho” (by Rosa), “Cornelia frente al espejo” (by Ocampo) and Tiempo de silencio. Through this theme, the characters in these narratives call into question their existence and, especially, their own rationality. Both chapters 3 and 4 seek to underline the correlation between exclusion, identity, and narcissism in the authors examined, as well in our modern world. Last, the fifth chapter offers a comparative analysis of the short stories “Sorôco, sua mãe, sua filha” (by Rosa), and “El progreso de la ciencia” (by Ocampo), and Martín-Santos’s novel, in order to examine how those who are devoid of voice may be able to produce memory within other possible life norms. I argue that this literary correlation is not only aimed at denouncing social segregation, but also at exploring how the actual reasons for excluding the other are deep-seated within ourselves. This analysis, ultimately, makes emphasis on the pertinence of questions related to philosophy, psychoanalysis, and aesthetics to examining current world events, such as the under-representation of women in our postmodern society, the flow of immigrants into Europe in 2015, and narcissism in our capitalist society

Notícias da Terra e Agroecologia.

O ?Notícias da Terra? é um programa de rádio de 15 minutos e periodicidade quinzenal. É desenvolvido e produzido pelo Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária - Incra-SP, em parceria com a Embrapa Meio Ambiente e Rádio Estrela de Jaguariúna, SP. Está disponível em emissoras que atingem beneficiários do Programa de Reforma Agrária, assentamentos do Estado e pequenos agricultores. O objetivo é intensificar a comunicação com as 11.456 famílias assentadas, levando informações úteis e práticas sobre produção, preços e práticas em agroecologia, que aumentem o seu potencial de desenvolvimento rural. O uso de energia solar para desinfestação de solos, com dicas em agricultura orgânica, foram os destaques da primeira edição. A pesquisa da Embrapa sobre o uso de lodo de esgoto como adubo orgânico para culturas de milho, cana, café, banana, com dica sobre agrometeorologia foram destaques da segunda edição. A agroecologia na agricultura familiar ? caso Yamaguishi, com objetivo de fortalecer as iniciativas realizadas pela agricultura familiar, estimulando a transição da produção tradicional para modelos sustentáveis, foram destaques da terceira edição. A energia solar, barata e eficiente foi demonstrada na quarta edição. A dica foi sobre produtividade,proteínas e facilidades de manejo do feijão caupi. A pesquisa com uma solução de 5% de leite cru e 95% de água, receita barata e inovadora para combater o oídio em diversas culturas, com dica sobre higiene na ordenha, foram destaques na quinta edição. Agroecologia com práticas caseiras e simples, dadas pelos agrônomos da Emater-DF, serão os destaques da sexta edição

An acido-triggered reversible luminescent and nonlinear optical switch based on a substituted styrylpyridine : EFISH measurements as an unusual method to reveal a protonation-deprotonation NLO contrast

Diphenyl-(4-{2-[4-(2-pyridin-4-yl-vinyl)-phenyl]-vinyl}-phenyl)-amine (DPVPA) constitutes a novel acido-triggered reversible luminescent and nonlinear optical switch. Remarkably, for the first time the Electric-Field Induced Second Harmonic generation (EFISH) technique is used to reveal a protonation-deprotonation NLO contrast
