O som ao redor: leituras, memória e ruína

Tese (doutorado)- Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2017.O objetivo da tese é propor modos de leitura para o filme O som ao redor. A análise é realizada a partir das noções de arquivo, tempo e imagem, formando uma teia literária de suporte para pensar a complexidade do filme. Para lançar hipóteses de leitura e interpretação para o filme mapeamos textos filosóficos, sociológicos e poéticos, que se conectam para pensar as relações residuais da casa grande no subúrbio de Recife. Forma-se uma teia de apoio teórico-crítica para pensar a complexidade do filme do qual se seleciona personagens-chave (Bia e Francisco) e figuras imagéticas recorrentes (a grade e a espiral) para nos auxiliar a perceber as passagens e as descontinuidades nos gestos (do antigo ao novo, da manufatura ao industrial) dos tempos (do arcaico ao atual) e dos contextos (regional ao global, das cenas enquadradas às contínuas). No filme estudado, a narrativa se desenvolve pela conexão espiralada dos fatos, assim, percebemos as idas e vindas do tempo, trazendo as transformações na passagem passado/presente na memória de uma açucarocracia, cujo impacto se sente nos dias de hoje.Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to propose modes of reading the film O Som ao Redor. The analysis is made having in mind the notions of archive, time and image, in order to form a literary net which allows us to think about the complexity of this film. In order to interpret it we map some philosophical, some sociological and some poetic texts which interconnect so that it is possible to notice the residual relations between the Masters and the Slaves in the suburbs of Recife. A network of both critical and theoretical support is then created to think the film?s complex editing. Key-charcaters (Bia and Francisco) and imagetical figures which are recurrent, respectively, the square and the spiral, help us to perceive the passages and the discontinuities in gestures (from the old one to the new, from manufacture to industrial) difference in times (from the archaic to the present) and contexts (regional/global, square scenes do continuous). In this film, narrative develops itself by the spiraled connections of facts, and thus we can perceive the tos and fros in time, bringing transformations in the bygones of a sugar-cane aristocracy whose impacts are felt today

Data from: Broad and flexible stable isotope niches in invasive non-native Rattus spp. in anthropogenic and natural habitats of central eastern Madagascar

Background: Rodents of the genus Rattus are among the most pervasive and successful invasive species, causing major vicissitudes in native ecological communities. A broad and flexible generalist diet has been suggested as key to the invasion success of Rattus spp. Here, we use an indirect approach to better understand foraging niche width, plasticity, and overlap within and between introduced Rattus spp. in anthropogenic habitats and natural humid forests of Madagascar. Results: Based on stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values measured in hair samples of 565 individual rodents, we found that R. rattus had an extremely wide foraging niche, encompassing the isotopic space covered by a complete endemic forest-dwelling Malagasy small mammal community. Comparisons of Bayesian standard ellipses, as well as (multivariate) mixed-modeling analyses, revealed that the stable isotope niche of R. rattus tended to change seasonally and differed between natural forests and anthropogenic habitats, indicating plasticity in feeding niches. In co-occurrence, R. rattus and R. norvegicus partitioned feeding niches. Isotopic mismatch of signatures of individual R. rattus and the habitat in which they were captured, indicate frequent dispersal movements for this species between natural forest and anthropogenic habitats. Conclusions: Since R. rattus are known to transmit a number of zoonoses, potentially affecting communities of endemic small mammals, as well as humans, these movements presumably increase transmission potential. Our results suggest that due to their generalist diet and potential movement between natural forest and anthropogenic habitats, Rattus spp. might affect native forest-dependent Malagasy rodents as competitors, predators, and disease vectors. The combination of these effects helps explain the invasion success of Rattus spp. and the detrimental effects of this genus on the endemic Malagasy rodent fauna

Data from: Phylogeography and support vector machine classification of colour variation in panther chameleons

Lizards and snakes exhibit colour variation of adaptive value for thermoregulation, camouflage, predator avoidance, sexual selection, and speciation. Furcifer pardalis, the panther chameleon, is one of the most spectacular reptilian endemic species in Madagascar with pronounced sexual dimorphism and exceptionally large intra-specific variation in male coloration. We perform here an integrative analysis of molecular phylogeography and colour variation after collecting high-resolution colour photographs and blood samples from 324 F. pardalis individuals in locations spanning the whole species distribution. First, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence analyses uncover strong genetic structure among geographically-restricted haplogroups, revealing restricted gene flow among populations. Bayesian coalescent modelling suggests that most of the mitochondrial haplogroups could be considered as separate species. Second, using a supervised multiclass support vector machine approach on five anatomical components, we identify patterns in 3D colour space that efficiently predict assignment of male individuals to mitochondrial haplogroups. We converted the results of this analysis into a simple visual classification key that can assist trade managers to avoid local population over-harvesting
