Resenha do livro de Dermeval Saviani, Escola e Democracia.

Trata-se de um relato de experiência redigido após a provocação de um questionador que tomou como base de seu questionamento um fragmento do livro de Lerner, "Ler e escrever na escola: o real, o possivel e o necessário".

El presente artículo intenta revisar el uso y empleo de las máscaras para la creación de un efecto transformador y sinestético en el arte simbólico e imaginativo de crear un paisaje de lejanía y familiaridad en que un ‘otro’ visualiza un diagrama metasignificativo de las representaciones y efectos de las máscaras en el arte ritual amazónico. El estudio, lejos de ser una descripción material de las culturas y el uso de las máscaras, intenta explorar el por qué de su utilización, (...) así como la manipulación de poderes y la intensa dramaticidad con que el acto del disfrazarse compone la performance ritualística en la amazonía brasileña. El foco principal es la constante creación del binomio identidad-alteridad en lo cuál las figuras mitológicas, las experiencias reveladas en los sueños coletivos y el propio teatro del ser, constituyen la ‘persona ritual’ que enfatiza el extenso universo de una indumentaria de la floresta en la confección simbólica de las máscaras y sus multisignificados. Finalmente, la idea de la performance a través de la mirada cenográfica amazonica y su empleo en las máscaras, adornos y ornamentos para una construcción del cuerpo, persona e identidad en la geografía de las almas de los pueblos del Amazonas.

In response to rapidly rising health care costs in the United States, federal and state governments and private industry are instituting numerous and diverse cost-containment plans. As devices for coping with a scarcity of resources, such plans present serious challenges to physicians' traditional single-minded devotion to patient welfare. Those which contain costs by directly limiting medical options or by controlling physicians' daily clinical decisions can threaten the quality of medical care by allowing economic authorities to make essentially medical judgments. In (...) contrast, other plans coax compliance by arranging incentives, e.g., offering financial rewards for successful cost containment. While they allow for clinical freedom, these plans create conflicts between physicians' fiduciary obligations to their patients and the competing interests of the payers. Such conflicts arise as physicians try to work within governmental or corporate cost containment policies, and also as they attempt to streamline clinical efficiency. Throughout, issues of justice emerge as physicians seek to reconcile their own patients' claims upon limited common resources with others' equally legitimate claims. (shrink)

It has frequently been observed that the Prometheus Vinctus shows certain Sophoclean characteristics of rhythm. In order to vary the rhythm of his iambics and to avoid monotony, Sophocles often knits consecutive trimeters closely together by placing at the end of one line some word which looks forward to the next line, and so precludes the reader from stopping for the natural pause after the sixth foot. Sometimes he uses in this way subordinating words which introduce a dependent clause in (...) the next line ; sometimes proclitics or quasi-proclitics. (shrink)
