PT: do corporativismo ao transformismo

Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar o processo histórico de emergência e desenvolvimento do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) nacional, visto como agente social coletivo institucionalizado, contemplando a análise das relações de poder e identidade existentes entre esta instituição e os setores da sociedade civil que, em tese, ela representaria, bem como com os setores da sociedade política, avaliando a natureza da interação existente entre estes agentes sociais. Partindo do conceito gramsciano de transformismo, discutem-se duas fases, uma inicial, caracterizada por maior radicalismo e, simultaneamente, por certo corporativismo, e uma segunda fase, marcada por uma flexibilização do discurso, pela abertura para alianças políticas e pela revisão programática, que culminou com a chegada do partido à presidência da república em 2003

REVERBERAÇÕES EUCLIDIANAS NA CONTÍSTICA PAN-AMAZÔNICA SOBRE OS FENÔMENOS DAS ÁGUAS

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a influência do modelo de escrita e interpretação da Amazônia estabelecido por Euclides da Cunha, no início do século XX, na contística pan-amazônica sobre os fenômenos das águas. A análise literária é centrada em seis contos de quatro ficcionistas –– três brasileiros e um peruano: Alberto Rangel, Francisco Izquierdo Ríos, Arthur Engrácio e João Meirelles Filho. O trabalho argumenta que o modelo euclidiano está no cerne do agenciamento dos fenômenos das águas como matéria literária por esses autores, que a tematização do extrativismo em suas narrativas também se articula direta ou indiretamente com ele, e, por fim, que em seus limites e contradições, como na falta explícita de reconhecimento de um sujeito amazônico como protagonista da história social da região, a visada de Euclides da Cunha estabeleceu um paradigma influente, por vezes seguido e por vezes superado, na literatura moderna e contemporânea de expressão amazônica, da qual a contística das águas constitui amostra significativa. Os autores de referência são Cunha (2000), Souza (2009), Leão (2008) e Lima (2012), dentre outros

More studies are needed to elucidate the woman feeling underwent episiotomy and the impact on your sex life
