De dentro pra fora| Corpo, fotografia e poética em Kiki Smith

Esse artigo busca compreender o papel do corpo nas fotogravuras de Kiki Smith tangenciadas pela questão do feminino, da identidade e de fragmentação, sob os diferentes conceitos de abjeto e diferença. Em seus autorretratos a artista promove uma poética que se percebe radicante, expressando formas de transgressão da imagem por meio de um discurso sensível e produzindo narrativas que desconstroem identidades e buscam a emancipação do corpo

Corpo - cidade: a arte subversiva nos anos 1970 em Nova Iorque

Esse artigo buscar analisar os trabalhos Arthur Rimbaud em Nova Iorque de David Wojnarowicz, So Help Me Hannah de Hannah Wilke e The Mythic Being de Adrian Piper como formas de contestação na cidade. Através do uso do corpo como suporte artístico, esses artistas questionaram os códigos culturais de sua época, inserindo uma linguagem ácida na qual o corpo era o protagonista da ação performática. Essas ações artísticas dialogam com o processo etnográfico, de escrita, análise e produção de conhecimento através de questões relacionadas à alteridade. A relação entre arte e etnografia nesses artistas se dá pelo processo de performatividade, de ação e de ocupação do espaço urbano com a inserção de temas ligados à sexualidade, gênero e identidade. Ações essas que produziram ruídos na cidade, subversões.This article seeks to analyze the works Arthur Rimbaud in New York of David Wojnarowicz, So Help Me Hannah of Hannah Wilke and The Mythic Being of Adrian Piper as forms of protest in the city. Through the body use as artistic support, these artists have questioned the cultural codes of their time, entering an acid language in which the body was the protagonist of the performative action. These artistic actions dialogue with the ethnographic process, of writing, analysis and production of knowledge through issues of otherness. The relationship between art and ethnography in these artists is through the performative process of action and occupation of urban space with the inclusion of issues related to sexuality, gender and identity. These actions have produced noise in the city, subversions

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
