Vendo o passado: representação e escrita da história
We are caught in a paradox. On the one hand, our technical capabilities for\ud
archiving and preserving the past have improved significantly; on the other, the swift pace of\ud
modern life seems to limit that selfsame capacity to register past events and experiences. If the\ud
present presses on to make itself past, particularly through writing with images, how can we\ud
build upon it a body of knowledge that is precisely grounded in the assumption that past and\ud
present are two radically different and separate dimensions of time, requiring time to turn\ud
events and experiences into history? The intent of this paper is to look into some of the current\ud
strategies used to lend visibility to the past as part of a social effort to transform time into\ud
culture

Revista do Museu Paulista e(m) capas: identidade e representação institucional em texto e imagem
Este artigo propĂ”e reflexĂŁo sobre a escrita da histĂłria, a partir de estudo das capas da Revista do Museu Paulista, especialmente durante as gestĂ”es dos dois primeiros diretores da instituição, quando certa continuidade editorial foi preservada. Tomadas como "fontes", ou seja, objeto de trabalho do historiador, as capas revelam vestĂgios de processos que permitem reconstruir, em suas dimensĂ”es histĂłricas, as complexas imbricaçÔes entre a produção da Revista, sua materialidade, e os atos de leitura e interpretação que condicionam e refletem relaçÔes entre produtores de textos e seus leitores nas primeiras dĂ©cadas do sĂ©culo XX, a partir de SĂŁo Paulo, onde era editada.This paper offers a reflection about the writing of History, based on the study of Revista do Museu Paulista's covers, noticeably during the term of its two first directors, when a certain editorial continuity was preserved. Taken as "sources", namely as historian subjects, those covers reveal evidences of practices that allow one to reconstitute, in its historic dimensions, the complex connection between the creation of the Revista, its materiality, and the reading and interpretation efforts that condition and reflect liaisons with writers and readers during the first decades of the XXth Century, from SĂŁo Paulo, where it was published.
Late Quaternary landscape evolution of northeastern Amazonia from pollen and diatom records
Entre a poeira e o silĂȘncio: sobre exposiçÔes e construçÔes da memĂłria no Museu do CearĂĄ (1932-1997)
This article discusses some manners to construct the meanings of the past into Museu do CearĂĄ's exhibitions between 1932 and 1997. Based on issues of Social History of Memory, the meanings of dust and silence are highlighted in a way that the past is configured in the space of the exhibitions. The artifacts are treated taking into account underlying values and expectations that guide, in certain circumstances, connections and separations between past and present
Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research
Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4
While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge
of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5â7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8â11 In
the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the worldâs most diverse rainforest and the primary source of
Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13â15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazonâs biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus
crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced
environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian
Amazonia, while identifying the regionâs vulnerability to environmental change. 15%â18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by
2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status,
much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
