Performatividades das novas pornografias: análise dos filmes do cineasta Antonio da Silva // New pornographies and their performativities: ananysis of filmmaker Antonio da Silva's films

O presente artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa sobre os novos produtos pornográficos contemporâneos. Tomando por base a noção de performatividade de Judith Butler (1988, 1997, 2003), analisamos filmes do cineasta português Antonio da Silva, a saber, Bankers (2011), Mates (2012), Gingers (2013) e Daddies (2014), nos utilizando para tal análise da escrita performativa (BEIGUI, 2011). Nosso objetivo foi identificar de que modos esses filmes incorporam características históricas do pornográfico no audiovisual e na literatura, assim como dialogam com as produções amadoras da internet, criando novos caminhos para o pornográfico

Fenômeno do impostor em universitários: Contribuições de variáveis demográficas e da personalidade

Objetivo: O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a influência dos traços de personalidade no fenômeno do impostor, controlando o papel de variáveis demográficas, e validar a Escala Clance do Fenômeno do Impostor (ECFI) em uma amostra universitária do nordeste brasileiro. Métodos: Avaliaram-se 204 estudantes universitários de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do Piauí (Midade = 22,88), maioritariamente do sexo feminino (57,3%) e dos cursos de Psicologia (38,9%) e Pedagogia (15,7%), utilizando o Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores da Personalidade (ICFP-20), a ECFI e um Questionário sociodemográfico. Resultados: A estrutura unifatorial da ECFI foi confirmada por uma Análise Fatorial Confirmatória e a sua confiabilidade foi assegurada (α = 0,92 e ω = 0,92). Uma regressão múltipla hierárquica revelou que, além da idade, a conscienciosidade e o neuroticismo foram traços significativos na previsão do fenômeno do impostor, enquanto o sexo não se mostrou um preditor significativo. Conclusões: Os resultados validam a ECFI e reforçam a importância de traços de personalidade, como conscienciosidade e neuroticismo, em relação à vulnerabilidade ou resistência ao fenômeno do impostor, especialmente em estudantes mais jovens

estudos artísticos

A revista Gama, Estudos Artísticos estabeleceu-se como um instrumento para a disseminação do conhecimento em torno da arte e da cultura numa perspetiva que se crê inovadora, e que nos caracteriza: estudar arte e artistas através do olhar formado e privilegiado dos companheiros de profissão. Artistas estudam outros artistas. A revista Gama pertence assim a um projeto de resistência: resistência ao centrismo do artworld, ao esmagamento pelos discursos dominantes, às lógicas de reprodução da legitimação instituída. Há uma característica que prevalece em todos os 28 artigos reunidos na presente edição: a reflexão informada sobre autores e obras de arte, que propõe novas leituras e novas redes de conhecimento. Todas juntas constituem um tecido que descobre sentidos, na sua integração global na nova paisagem cultural.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Outcomes from elective colorectal cancer surgery during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

This study aimed to describe the change in surgical practice and the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on mortality after surgical resection of colorectal cancer during the initial phases of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Elective Cancer Surgery in COVID-19-Free Surgical Pathways During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic: An International, Multicenter, Comparative Cohort Study.

PURPOSE: As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19-free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19-free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS: Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19-free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19-free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19-free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score-matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19-free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION: Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19-free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks

Elective cancer surgery in COVID-19-free surgical pathways during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: An international, multicenter, comparative cohort study

PURPOSE As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2.

Das Performatividades: eu, AntÃnio e as pornografias.

A presente dissertaÃÃo tem por interesse principal as pornografias contemporÃneas, ou as novas pornografias, ou ainda: as pornografias realizadas recentemente e, em geral, divulgadas por meio da Internet e em festivais especÃficos. Para tal, ela toma, como objeto de anÃlise, os primeiros trabalhos do portuguÃs Antonio Da Silva â realizador radicado em Londres â, produzidos entre os anos de 2011 e 2013, e que se expressam em pornografia junto a demais linguagens fÃlmicas e discursivas. Esta anÃlise toma singularmente os trabalhos de Antonio para pensar, de modo mais geral, como as atuais produÃÃes em pornografia se apropriam de outras formas de falar do sexo, da sexualidade e da prÃpria pornografia. Ao mesmo tempo, encarando, como fundamental a presenÃa do corpo do pesquisador como espectador de sua constituiÃÃo. Nesse sentido, traz como metodologia a escrita performativa, que permite o uso em primeira pessoa, e a utilizaÃÃo de modos de escrever e de falar do tema alÃm do escrever e do falar acadÃmicos. Esta anÃlise tem, por base teÃrica, a vinculaÃÃo da imagem pornogrÃfica à noÃÃo de performatividade, com base nos trabalhos de J. L. Austin (1990), Jacques Derrida (1991) e Judith Butler (1988, 1997). Sobre a pornografia que se discute, o trabalho toma autores como Feona Attwood (2007, 2011), Nuno CÃsar Abreu (1996), Linda Williams (1989, 1991, 2004, 2014) e Katrien Jacobs (2004), dentre outros. Juntam-se, ao texto acadÃmico e dissertativo, confissÃes, memÃrias e poemetos, que vÃo compondo a anÃlise performativa dos trabalhos de Antonio, com base na escrita performativa, teorizada e apontada, aqui, por Alexandre Beigui (2011). Ao fim das contas, o principal interesse à interpretar o que à o pornogrÃfico, tanto do ponto de vista da linguagem como do espectador, e, por isso, à trazida à tona a noÃÃo de performatividade, ajudando-nos, escritor e leitor, a pensar sobre uma possÃvel performatividade pornogrÃfica no lugar de uma pornografia como algo dado e identificado a princÃpio

Sectioning of the Filum Terminale in Patients with Chiari Malformation Type 1 Associated with Occult Tethered Cord Syndrome: Literature Review

Approximately 125 years ago, a group of pathologies now known as Chiari malformations was described for the first time. However, some mechanisms of its formation still remain unknown. A bibliographic survey was performed through a search in PubMed. In 1938, it was already theorized that an increase in spinal cord tension could be the cause of Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) tonsillar herniation. In 1953, a condition known for the anchoring of the filum terminale to the vertebral canal was described for the first time and would later be known as tethered cord syndrome (TCS). Some studies have shown that it is associated with increased tension in the spinal cord, and this formed the basis for a possible pathophysiological explanation of tonsillar herniation. Case series emerged reporting that treatment for TCS with the sectioning of the filum terminale (SFT) could provide clinical improvement of patients with CM1. A new pathological entity emerged when it was realized that patients with the clinical picture of TCS could have the medullary cone in its normal position, differing from the caudal migration expected for the TCS. This condition became known as occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS). Case series attempted to demonstrate its association with the origin of CM1, a non-intuitive association, since the cone in the normal position contradicts traction as a source of tonsillar herniation. To this day, the absence of randomized control trials limits any conclusions regarding the effectiveness of SFT for the treatment of patients with CM1

Recomposing the Nation. Conceptions and effects of heritage preservation in religious universes

This article seeks to contribute to the field of studies that, inspired in debates about ethnicity, discusses the forms and components of the notion of nationality. How and with what elements is "Brazilian culture" constituted? This question guides the study of landmark designation processes conducted by the National Artistic and Historical Heritage Institute, a federal agency operating since 1937. Considering landmark designation as a form of official recognition of a site as "cultural heritage", the article reflects on the impact of this policy on two religious universes: Catholicism and Afro-Brazilian religions. The conclusions point to distinct forms of recognition of religious universes and to transformations in ways of conceiving nationalit
