This paper aims to explore the power exerted by the translator to form cultural identities and to build literary images that often overlap or blur national borders. The sinophone writer Ma Jian’s identity is challenged both in terms of authorship and readership, as his public is a culturally undistinguished “western reader”, and the translator de facto becomes the author. As a representative of the Chinese diaspora, he not only lives in a “deterritorialized” literary space, his novels also share a similar textual instability. Due to his bitter criticism of Chinese government and his internationally recognised role as a dissident writer, his works do not circulate in the People’s Republic of China, and are mainly distributed thanks to the English renditions by Flora Drew.

This review summarizes and analyses the chapters of Feminist Translation Studies which, through a propositional work of criticism, revision and deepening, opens new paths for the theory and practice of translation under transnational feminist consciousness. The book, both in terms of its structure and its composition, as well as the bibliographic references it contains, can be considered a reference in its area.

The Catéchisme préparatoire au baptême has been translated into various languages of Congo. These translations were made by Flemish Catholic missionaries in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Jules Garmyn translated the Catéchisme préparatoire au baptême in Tshiluba (1898); Camille Van Ronslé in Bobangi (1898), Kikongo (1900) and Lingala (1911); Jules Van Houtte in Lonkundu (1912). The missionaries were non-native translators. They translated into languages that were not their native languages, into languages they had learned according to their mission. The missionaries had understood that translation was a powerful instrument that helped to spread the faith. Translation is done from a functional perspective. It had to help to change radically the habits and customs of local people. The Catéchisme préparatoire au baptême is a text steeped in the Western culture and tradition. We will ask how the missionaries treated the lexical and metaphorical characteristics of the source text and how the translations functioned in Congolese cultures, cultures for which the source text is a deeply strange element. This theme will be discussed only briefly. It would divert the reader from the core of our contribution: the place of the notion of exile in discourse on translation. The notion of exile is often understood in a subjectified way. The notion is centered on the author or translator who are in a situation of exile. Antoine Berman and Walter Benjamin will help us to try to understand the notion of exile in another way, in a desubjectified way. The languages, the texts, the original, the translation are in a situation of exile. We will ask what the notion of exile could bring to the understanding of a movement – a movement from Belgium to Congo – in which the Catéchisme préparatoire au baptême is taken.

In the late eighteenth century, there was not a consensus among philosophers of nature regarding the possibility of physical interaction between electricity and magnetism. The followers of the so-called Laplacian Research Program believed that electrical phenomena were distinct nature of magnetic phenomena and therefore an electromagnetic interaction would be impossible to be observed. However, members of the philosophical movement known as Naturphilosophie defended the possibility of interrelation between the different phenomena observed in nature, including electrical with magnetic. In this paper, we will analyze the main features of these two philosophical currents and how Naturphilosophie, in particular, ended up influencing the research of the Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777-1851) that led to the emergence of electromagnetism.

Assuming that the translation is a composite phenomenon that goes beyond the translator’s work, although essential, and currently convenes what I propose to call a “collective poetic of resilience”, I stress the importance of cultural planning of translations from the selection made by the catalogues of independent publishers, working at the margins of the contingencies of large publishing groups. After the presentation of the main relationships between the Portuguese editorial universe and the exile over the last decades, I’ll analyse, in particular, writers and books related to exil in the catalogue of the Portuguese publishing house “Cavalo de Ferro”.

This article analyzes Brazilian state capacities in the management of youth policy from 2003 to 2014. We developed a qualitative research based on documentary analysis. We verified that low levels of state capacity, measured by the path of institutionalization, interinstitutional coordination and inclusive capacity, explain the obstacles in the management of the main program for youth, Projovem. These factors caused effects in terms of implementation due to interinstitutional forces correlations, differentiated levels of management capacity of federated entities and disarticulation of the decision-making structures with participatory processes.

Parrots living in cities can use urban parks for breeding, refuge or feeding. However, there is little knowledge about the diet of parrots in these environments. We identified food resources exploited by parrots in urban public parks and examined the foraging strategies employed. The study was conducted in 10 parks in the city of Uberlândia, MG, Brazil, from May to December 2011. The psittacids were investigated by focal animal and ad libitum methods. Observations were carried out in the morning and late afternoon, totaling 480 hours of sampling effort. A total of 278 feeding events were recorded. The parrot species for which foraging records were obtained were Eupsittula aurea, Psittacara leucophthalmus, Brotogeris chiriri and Diopsittaca nobilis. The parrots consumed food resources from 33 plant species, including fruit (pulp only, pulp with seed or seed only), flowers, nectar and leaves. The most exploited plant families were Fabaceae, Bignoniaceae and Arecaceae. The diet of the psittacids was quite diverse, where they exploited a wide range of plants, especially exotic species. These results demonstrated the importance of green areas for the feeding, refuge and conservation of some parrot species in urban centers. 

Dieser Beitrag geht der Beobachtung nach, dass in literarischen Texten von Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftstellern, die zwischen 1933 und 1945 aus dem nationalsozialistischen Deutschland geflohen sind, Übersetzungen als Formen mehrsprachigen Schreibens auftauchen. Am Beispiel von Mascha Kaléko und Werner Lansburgh wird anhand von einigen Textbeispielen gezeigt, wie durch übersetzende Schreibverfahren der existenzielle Zusammenhang von Sprache und Exil sowohl reflektiert als auch ästhetisch umgesetzt wird.This article explores the phenomenon of literature produced by writers who had to flee from Nazi-Germany between 1933-1945 in which they use translation as a form of multilingual writing. The analysis focuses on texts by Mascha Kaléko and Werner Lansburgh and addresses the following questions: Can translation be seen as a concept or a technique of literary writing in exile and how does it reflect aesthetically on the existential difficulties of language in exile?

The text presents the main results of a survey conducted in 1997 that was never published. As the proposal of the dossier is revisiting the history of the struggles by the kindergartens and child education in Brazil, we note that the discussion presented here remains current and, therefore, can contribute to the historical record which contributes to the understanding of current times. The theme focuses on the relationship between the day care and the children’s families, showing that some problematic relationship identified 30 years ago can still be observed. Discussions rely on theoretical constructivist socio- interacionist approaches to human development, observing the relations between professionals and families, with their reflections on young children, and about the role of day care in a wider social context.

This article analyzes the translation poetics and the translation context of Guatemalan author Alaide Foppa (1914) who lived in exile in Mexico. In 1980 she was kidnapped in Guatemala and the resting place of her remains is still unknown. Foppa was a woman of many talents: she was a poet, activist, feminist, art critic, editor, academic and translator. The focus is on three of the available poetry translations, from French, Italian and English: Paul Eluard, Michelangelo and Mary Oxlie of Morpet. The analysis of paratexts such as prologues and essays will help reveal Foppa’s vision on poetry translation and translation strategies. The analysis shows a tendency towards “recreative translation” (Jones 2011) and “translation as a personal oeuvre” (Campos 1996). At the same time, the paper aims at exploring to what extent Foppa’s situation as an exile as well as her multilingualism had an impact on her work as a translator.

The present article intends to deal with the importance of the neokantian thought for the development of the social sciences. In order to do so it focuses in the ideas of some thinkers from neokantian school, overall, Wilhelm Windelband and Heinrich Rickert, while analyses the influence of that school in the weberian sociology, mainly in its epistemological and methodological aspects. Thus, the article is separated in three parts. The first concentrates in the historical contextualization and in the general problems wich neokantianism faces. The second intends to analyse how Rickert and Windelband categorize the different types and means of scientifical knowledge, pointing to the affinities the theorists have in relation to Weber. Finally, the third section takes care of the discussion about the relationship between science and values,according to Rickert, emphasizing again itsrole in the foundation of the weberian sociology.

Law 11,892 / 2008 created the Network of Vocational, Scientific and Technological Education, composed by the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, a Technological University, Federal Centers of Technological Education (CEFET-RJ and CEFET-MG) Techniques linked to Universities. Of these modifications the Federal Institutes represent the greatest innovation, with a new institutional matrix. However, we need to look at whether this array is being deployed and what are the major constraints for that to happen. Thus, this text takes the form of a critical essay that addresses the main problems of this new institutional matrix in the perspective of the management of these new federal institutions and their juridical-institutional relations.

This article is na attempt to indicate new perspectives in the field of Entreprise’s History. The main reference is the “Santa Catarina Power and Light Enterprise” (Empresa Força e Luz Santa Catarina S.A), considered from new authors and concepts, and not only from the classical concepts of finacial and economics evolution. The concept of germanity is stressed as one of the news discourses, in order to undestand the enterprise’s history.

The dialogue proposed here aims at discussing the processes of continuity of colonization in the epistemological sphere and their linkages to the formation of individuals from historically marginalized social groups who are currently accessing Universities from affirmative actions and policies. The access and admissions of black students, indigenous persons, people from outlying districts, from small cities of the interior, persons with background from social strata that have been historically marginalized and deprived from the right to quality public education, and the universities themselves have been against the meritocratic and excluding logic that has long been a marker of education in Brazil. The admissions of these students into universities has broken the frequent tradition of low schooling to which these social groups have been systematically submitted to. As findings, the new reality of these Institutions highlights the need for training strategies for effective transformation, also there is an urge to change their actions in order to welcome and affiliate these new students.

Precedents (“Súmulas”) integrate Brazilian legal system intending to provide coherence and consistency to legal decisions. However, such scopes are under threat due to unsystematic and merely positive text-based application of this legal doctrine institute. Contrary to this scenario, this article aims at investigating the meaning of precedents (“súmulas”) in Brazilian law, aiming at pointing out evidences of its discursive materialism and suggesting directions to a rational and democratically manageable legal practice. For this purpose, theoretical contributions of discourse analysis, highlighting concepts developed by Michel Pêcheux and comparing them to the problematics of subjective appropriation of precedent (“súmula”) meaning in forensic praxis.
