The scene representation in the new Brazilian historical nove – reading the novels a república dos bugres and conspiração barroca, of Ruy Reis Tapioca
A representação do cenário no Novo Romance
Histórico brasileiro tem despertado pouco interesse na crítica
literária. A morfologia urbana composta por casas, casarões,
palácios, castelos, igrejas, pontes, logradouros, meios de
transporte e cidades é caracterizada e descrita conforme o
contexto de época. Muitos escritores analisam compêndios
históricos, documentos de época, arquivos, museus, numa
tentativa de representar ou (re)criar o pano de fundo dos
enredos históricos formulados. Os romances A República dos
Bugres (1999) e Conspiração Barroca (2008) do escritor
baiano Ruy Reis Tapioca conjugam-se como obras literárias
que remontam o passado histórico, recuperando os
pressupostos vigentes nos séculos XVIII e XIX,
nomeadamente a chegada da Família Real Portuguesa e a
Inconfidência Mineira.
O presente artigo averigua como o cenário histórico
é representado nesses romances, identificando a forma e o conteúdo trabalhado, por meio do recorte das descrições
narrativas. De modo a fundamentar a nossa reflexão
recorremos aos contributos de: Lowenthal (1998), Bury
(2006), Pons, (1996), White, (1992), entre outros. Por último,
a contribuição deste artigo visa expandir o olhar estético para
esse assunto tão instigante e ainda não devidamente explorado
pelo meio acadêmico.The scene representation in the New Brazilian
Historical Novel has aroused little interest of literary criticism.
The urban morphology consisting of houses, mansions,
palaces, castles, churches, bridges, public parks, transportation
and cities is characterized and described as the time of context.
Many writers analyze historical textbooks, documents of the
period, archives, museums, in an attempt to represent or
(re)create the background of historical scenes formulated. The
novels A República dos Bugres (1999) and Conspiração
Barroca (2008) of the bahian writer Ruy Reis Tapioca
combine up as literary works dating back past history,
recovering the prevailing assumptions in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, including the arrival of the Portuguese
Royal Family and the Minas Conspiracy.
This article scrutinizes how the historical setting is
represented in these novels, identifying the form and content
working through the outline of the narrative descriptions.
In order to support our reflection we turn to the
contributions of: Lowenthal (1998), Bury (2006), Pons,
(1996), White (1992), among others. The contribution of this
article aims to expand the aesthetic look into this matter as
exciting and not yet fully explored by the academic world.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
O turista aprendiz and the câmera as a social approach strategy
Este artigo analisa a posição do intelectual Mário de
Andrade ao se referir à obra O turista aprendiz, no que
concerne à sua representação etnográfica e fotográfica, numa
tentativa de compreender os problemas sociais, durante sua
estada nos estados do Norte e do Nordeste brasileiro. A obra O
turista aprendiz foi escrita entre os anos de 1928 e 1930, em
forma de diários, de anotações e crônicas de viagens. Em um
primeiro momento, o escritor paulista publicou originalmente
esses escritos no jornal Diário Nacional, nas mesmas datas.
No entanto, a publicação oficial do livro saiu após os textos
serem publicados no jornal, em edição organizada por Telê
Ancona Lopez, quase cinquenta anos depois, em 1976. O
centro das visitas etnográficas embutido na obra consiste na
atenção que o autor dedica ao público proletário, na busca pela
formulação de uma cultura popular nacional. O escritor
modernista assume uma postura de intelectual comprometido
com a sociedade, pretendendo representá-la em seus escritos e
crônicas de viagens. Como lastro teórico, baseamo-nos na
interpretação de alguns teóricos que mais ajudaram a
compreender o panorama dessa dualidade investigativa (Literatura e Fotografia), a saber: Ancona Lopez (1976);
Sussekind (2008); Barthes (1981), entre outros, necessários
para contemplação do tema proposto.This paper analyzes the position of the intellectual
Mário de Andrade when referring to his book O turista
aprendiz, with respect to its ethnographic and photographic
representation in an attempt to understand the social problems
during their stay in the Brazilian states of North and Northeast.
The work O turista aprendiz was written between the years
1928 and 1930 in the form of diaries, notes and travel
chronicles. At first, the São Paulo writer originally published
these writings in the newspaper Diário Nacional, on the same
dates. However, the official publication of the book came out
after the texts were published in the paper edition organized
by Tele Ancona Lopez, nearly fifty years later, in 1976. The
bulge of ethnographic visits embedded in the work is the
attention that the author dedicated to the public proletarian, in
the search for the formulation of a national popular culture.
The modernist writer assumes an intellectual posture
committed to society, claiming to represent it in his writings
and travel chronicles. As a theoretical ballast, we rely on the
interpretation of some theorists who most helped understand
the landscape of this investigative duality (Literature and
Photography), namely: Lopez (1976); Sussekind (2008);
Barthes (1981), among others, required for the contemplation
of the proposed subject. We aim that the contributions of this
paper can better illuminate the literature and photography
duality in academic circles, stimulating new research and

The Interaction between business and financial cycles, in USA, Japan and UK
JEL Classification System: C19; E32A presente dissertação apresenta uma análise sobre as interações existentes entre os
ciclos económico e financeiro de três países (Japão, Reino Unido e Estados Unidos
América), caracterizando as suas tendências individuais e coletivas.
Primeiramente é efetuada uma revisão à literatura económica e financeira existente
nomeadamente quanto à formação, comportamento, duração e interação dos ciclos
económicos e financeiros.
Posteriormente é abordada, por via de metodologia econométrica, a interação entre os
ciclos económico e financeiro, no período compreendido entre 1989 e 2013 (com
periodicidade trimestral), correspondendo o ciclo económico de cada pais ao agregado
dos seus principais indicadores económicos domésticos, sendo o ciclo financeiro
construido com base na agregação ponderada do índice bolsista doméstico, do índice de
preços das casas e pelas taxas de juro de longo prazo.
Recorrendo à estimação de modelos DL e ADL, tem-se por objetivo testar a existência
de interações entre estes ciclos, bem como quais os impactos e a duração dos mesmos.
Conclui-se que nas 3 economias que constituem a amostra, o ciclo financeiro é
explicado apenas pelo ciclo económico e respectiva desfazagem, não possuindo o
passado da própria variável relevância para explicar variações actuais. No que diz
respeito ao ciclo económico, tanto as suas desfazagens como o ciclo financeiro possuem
significância estatistica para explicar parte das suas variações no presente.
Relativamente à duração dos impactos, em ambos os casos a amplitude é de curto-prazo
(com excepção do Japão).This thesis aims to develop an analysis on the interaction between the business and
financial cycles of three main countries (Japan, United Kingdom and U.S.A),
highlighting its individual and collective trends.
First, a review is made to the existing economic and financial literature, emphasizing
the creation, behavior, duration and interaction between the cycles referred above.
Later, by means of an econometric methodology, it is studied the interaction between
economic and financial cycles, on the time period comprehended between 1989 and
2013 (quarterly data), being the economic cycle of each country related to the
aggregation of its main domestic economic indicators, and the financial cycle based on
the weighted aggregation of the data related with the domestic stock market, house price
index and the long term interest rates.
Using a DL and ADL model, the main goal is to test for the existence of interactions
between these two cycles, and what are the impacts and the duration.
It is concluded that in the three economies, the financial cycle is only explained by the
business cycle and its first lag, meaning that the past of the financial cycle do not have
statistical significance to explain the variations in the present. In what concerns the
business cycle, both the respective lags and the financial cycle have statistical
significance to explain part of the present variations of the business cycle. Regarding the
impact duration, in both cases, with the exception of the estimation for the Japanese
financial cycle, they have short-term amplitude
Intra-group Light in Hickson Compact Groups
We have analyzed the intra-group light component of 3 Hickson Compact Groups
(HCG 79, HCG 88 and HCG 95) with detections in two of them: HCG 79, with
of the total band luminosity and HCG 95 with . HCG 88
had no component detected. This component is presumably due to tidally stripped
stellar material trapped in the group potential and represents an efficient
tool to determine the stage of dynamical evolution and to map its gravitational
potential. To detect this low surface brightness structure we have applied the
wavelet technique OV\_WAV, which separates the different components of the
image according to their spatial characteristic sizes.Comment: Small update on the associated institutions lis
Social intra-organizational connection: effects in three relational domains
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the construct of social intra-organizational connection (SIC). This construct reflects the extent to which a focal actor believes his alters present behaviors of social inclusion in relation to himself. This assessment compares the ego’s expectations of being included and the behavior of inclusion performed by those alters with whom the actor has more frequent interactions. The effects of this construct are tested in the organizational domain regarding the intention to leave, in the domain of co-workers regarding cooperation and in the family domain regarding work–family conflict.
Design/methodology/approach – The survey data were collected from 380 Brazilian workers.
Findings – The results confirmed the effects of SIC in the relational domain of the organization through the variation in the focal actor’s intention to leave. In the sphere of coworkers, the effects of SIC were found in the variation of the degree of cooperation. In the family sphere, SIC had an influence upon the intensity of the work–family conflict.
Originality/value – The research indicates that the behavior of making direct contacts and more frequent interactions by the focal actor extends to other relational spheres through the transitions of the organizational member between the domains of organization, coworkers and family. This paper draws attention to the need to consider the local networks, both within and beyond the organization, and their effects on each other
Law incentives for juvenile recruiting by drug trafficking gangs: empirical evidence from Rio de Janeiro
We evaluate the deterrence effects of the age of criminal responsibility on total drug trafficking and homicide crimes per age, based on a quasi-experiment generated by differences in punishment severity for these crimes prescribed by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent and by the Penal Code in Brazil. To this end, information from arrests conducted by the civil and military police of the state of Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and 2017 is used to estimate the local effects of treatment through a Regression Discontinuity Design. Instead of using recidivism data and/or grouping crimes with distinct punishment severity, we use as outcome variable the total number of arrests (crimes) per age for drug trafficking and homicides, which are the most common crimes related to organized crime in Rio de Janeiro.

Crescimento das Cidades Brasileiras na Década de Noventa
This paper is an empirical study on the determinants of economic growth and population growth in Brazilian cities in the nineties. For this objective, it is used variables that represent the initial characteristics of these cities as Glaeser et alii (1995) and Glaeser e Shapiro (2003) papers. The chosen variables follow the theoretical contributions from the new growth theories and the new economic geography. The results reinforce that human capital is an important promoter of positive externalities, Knowledge Spillovers, which generate economic growth. The paper also shows that negative externalities, such as congestion and poverty, reduce the economic growth. Another contribution of the paper is to study the effects of transport costs in economic growth. The results show a non-linearity in the relationship in that cities near state capitals grew more than cities far from capitals and capitals. Population growth results show that the Brazilian cities population growth is affected positively by measures of income and life quality and show that the urbanization process continues. There was a movement to urban areas where the wages and quality of life are greater.Cidades, Crescimento Econômico, Nova Geografia Econôomica, Capital Humano, Externalidades
