Acordes D`Além-Mar - Memórias das Bandas Filarmônicas Portuguesas nas Américas no Século XX

As bandas filarmônicas são das manifestações culturais mais significativas na vida social portuguesa, sobretudo, nas regiões centro e norte do país (Granjo, 2005). Observa-se que, no contexto do associativismo migrante, o elo de memória com a tradição e os costumes portugueses é estabelecido nas celebrações e instituições criadas pelos migrantes que constituem lugares de memória (Nora, 1993) nos quais as representações simbólicas e ritualizações portuguesas são materializadas, dentre elas, as bandas filarmônicas, objeto deste estudo de doutoramento com foco na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.  Investigamos a atividade filarmônica de migrantes portugueses inicialmente naquela cidade e, em numa perspectiva sincrônica, o fizemos em escala planetária nos séculos XX e XXI. Desenvolvemos extensa revisão de literatura sobre migração portuguesa, pesquisa em periódicos locais e na Internet e contatamos músicos e dirigentes associativos no Rio de Janeiro, Estados Unidos, Canadá e Venezuela. Neste artigo, discutimos a distribuição das bandas filarmônicas portuguesas em atividade na diáspora da migração portuguesa nas Américas articulando-a aos fluxos migratórios que lhes deram origem. Na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, por exemplo, existem atualmente duas bandas filarmônicas portuguesasem atividade – a Banda Portugal e a Banda Irmãos Pepino, fundadas, respectivamente, em 1921 e 1958. Todavia, a pesquisa realizada nos periódicos locais revelou que diversos grupos congêneres foram criados e encerraram suas atividades nesta cidade como a Banda do Centro Musical da Colônia Portuguesa (1920-1930), a Banda Lusitana (1923-1998) e a Banda União Portuguesa (1924-1929). Palavras-chave: Bandas Filarmônicas.

ELEMENTOS PARA REFLEXÃO QUANTO AO USO DAS INTELIGÊNCIAS MÚLTIPLAS NO ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM DA MÚSICA

O presente trabalho tem como foco a Teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas desenvolvida por Howard Gardner e pretende evidenciar alguns pontos relevantes que tenham aplicação no ensino-aprendizagem em música. Gardner revolucionou o conceito de inteligência combatendo a idéia de inteligência geral ou única e discute a aprendizagem e cognição humana em todos os seus trabalhos publicados e entrevistas. Optou-se, neste trabalho, por abordar alguns pontos relativos à educação artística, prescritos por Gardner em seus estudos junto ao Projeto Zero e também à inteligência musical e seu comportamento específico. A metodologia utilizada foi revisão bibliográfica, que se encontra amalgamada em apontamentos considerados relevantes para uma reflexão do assunto. Abstract The present work’s focus is the Multiple Intelligence Theory developed by Howard Gardner and intends to show clearly some relevant points to application on teaching-learning in music. Gardner started a revolution fighting the general intelligence conception or unique and discuss the learning and human cognition in all his publicated works and interviews. The option, in this work, is to reach some points about artistic education that Gardner had prescripted in his studies on Projeto Zero and about musical intelligence and its specific behavior. The used methodology is bibliographic review, that is amalgamated into notes considered relevants to the reflexion on the subject

Saberes emergidos na pandemia: o caso do Coletivo Brasileiro de Trombonistas

This article is a reflection proposal on the perception of the transformations operated in the cartographies of knowledge in crisis time, from the I virtual trombone seminar, promoted by the Coletivo Brasileiro de Trombonistas (CBT) during the Covid-19. As a theoretical background, we use the concept of intellectual pandemic and propose conceptual tools for realising some necessary shifts toward an Ecology of Knowledges. The aim is to understand how, in isolation contexts, the processes of knowledge constitution are developed, considering the particular case of the CBT. The research questioned how the logic of the ongoing intellectual pandemic is articulated with the constitution of knowledge in virtual transits. The reflection and study of the participants' narratives enabled the definition of 8 main categories of analysis and the construction of social cartography, which led us to answer the central questions raised in this study. Partindo da realização do I Seminário Virtual de Trombone, promovido pelo Coletivo Brasileiro de Trombonistas (CBT) em plena pandemia, este artigo é uma proposta de reflexão sobre a percepção das transformações operadas nas cartografias do saber em tempos de pandemia. Como marco teórico, utiliza-se o conceito de pandemia intelectual e propõem-se ferramentas conceituais para a realização de alguns deslocamentos necessários para uma Ecologia de Saberes. O objetivo é entender como se desenvolvem, em contextos de isolamento, os processos de constituição de saberes, à luz do caso particular do CBT. Esta pesquisa apontou para o questionamento sobre como a lógica da pandemia intelectual em curso se articula com a constituição de saberes em trânsitos virtuais. A análise dos testemunhos conseguidos possibilitou a definição de 8 categorias principais de análise e a construção de uma cartografia social do que emergiu, que nos encaminhou rumo às respostas para as perguntas levantadas neste estudo

O império dos mil anos e a arte do "tempo barroco": a águia bicéfala como emblema da Cristandade

The article reveals that between the mid-17th century and the mid-18th century, in the ecclesiastical world of the religious orders (Jesuits, franciscans, Carmelites, Cistercians, Augustinian, etc.) and the episcopate, there was the progressive adoption of the imperial symbol, the double-headed eagle, attribute of the Christian Empire, the germanic Holy Roman Empire emblem. However, in the religious field, this imperial eagle of the baroque time appears without the political insignia (sword, scepter and the imperial orb), adorning altars, monstrances, trumphal archs, facades of temples, doors, walls, domes, pulpits, sacred washbasins, sculptures and paintings of the Virgin and Child, liturgical robes, etc.; therefore related to the cult and the dogmas of the Catholic faith - in artistic works, the association between the double eagle and the flesh-spirit or human-divine unity, axial principle of the Catholic faith, represented by Virgin-Mother and Christ, is often indicated directly. The research has located and identified numerous remnants of the double eagle emblem in religious field in Portugal and Spain and in their conquests and dominions in America, Asia and Africa, and also in Italy, and the historiography on painful birth of the modern era in the West has never realized this phenomenon. Symbolizing absolute power, universal power, these works with sacred significance, as the ecclesiastical discourse of the time, demonstrate movement occurred in religious plane. With the aim to assert not only spiritual but also temporal power of Christ and his mystical body, the Church was impelled by the idea of restoring the "Republica Christiana" or Christendon - disrupted by conflicts of power and faith - and of introducing a Universal Apostolic Monarchy extended to all mankind: the Empire of the Last Days, the Empire of Christ in the world, the fifth Empire

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass

Severe early onset preeclampsia: short and long term clinical, psychosocial and biochemical aspects

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disorder commonly defined as de novo hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestational age. It occurs in approximately 3-5% of pregnancies and it is still a major cause of both foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide1. As extensive research has not yet elucidated the aetiology of preeclampsia, there are no rational preventive or therapeutic interventions available. The only rational treatment is delivery, which benefits the mother but is not in the interest of the foetus, if remote from term. Early onset preeclampsia (<32 weeks’ gestational age) occurs in less than 1% of pregnancies. It is, however often associated with maternal morbidity as the risk of progression to severe maternal disease is inversely related with gestational age at onset2. Resulting prematurity is therefore the main cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in patients with severe preeclampsia3. Although the discussion is ongoing, perinatal survival is suggested to be increased in patients with preterm preeclampsia by expectant, non-interventional management. This temporising treatment option to lengthen pregnancy includes the use of antihypertensive medication to control hypertension, magnesium sulphate to prevent eclampsia and corticosteroids to enhance foetal lung maturity4. With optimal maternal haemodynamic status and reassuring foetal condition this results on average in an extension of 2 weeks. Prolongation of these pregnancies is a great challenge for clinicians to balance between potential maternal risks on one the eve hand and possible foetal benefits on the other. Clinical controversies regarding prolongation of preterm preeclamptic pregnancies still exist – also taking into account that preeclampsia is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the Netherlands5 - a debate which is even more pronounced in very preterm pregnancies with questionable foetal viability6-9. Do maternal risks of prolongation of these very early pregnancies outweigh the chances of neonatal survival? Counselling of women with very early onset preeclampsia not only comprises of knowledge of the outcome of those particular pregnancies, but also knowledge of outcomes of future pregnancies of these women is of major clinical importance. This thesis opens with a review of the literature on identifiable risk factors of preeclampsia
