This thesis aims to discuss and compare the images of violence and childhood, which are historically and culturally constructed in the literature of children receiving, analyzing the works of Ngunga The adventures of the Angolan writer Pepetela and high heels, the Brazilian writer Lygia Bojunga, trying to understand to what extent the relationship between the two works allows for an understanding of these cultures to identify the aesthetic effects, cultural and socio-political in those works. It was used as the theoretical reference of the Comparative Studies of Literature and Portuguese Language and studies concerning the formation and development of juvenile literature in Brazil and Angola, also using the notions of evidential paradigm proposed by The semiotic model proved to be a productive analytical perspective to better understand the images of "violence" in the course of construction of the identities of the protagonists of both films are analyzed by mapping the evidence, which enabled the identification of different forms of violence that are, in part , a universal, being present in all cultures and in various time frames, and in part an idiosyncratic concept, by producing local tones, according to the time-space in which they materialize, since we start from the assumption that it is a concept that is historic and culturally constructed. Analyzed in fictional universes, the protagonists are not presented as mere potential for formal-aesthetic features, but revealed a collective-symbolic nature, as it mirrored the constitutive matrix of the adult who builds the future of their societies. For this reason, the construct borrowed from Deleuze and Guattari's "becoming-child" was effective to characterize them, away from the idealized image of childhood seen only as a stage of life marked by tales of innocence and allowing its analysis as a historical, cultural, social and economic information that helps explain the company that they are products. Also the images of violence that gravitate around these fictional universes could be recovered by mapping evidence in each of aesthetic projects studied. Thus, we conclude that in addition to the stories that each player builds and are marked on the fable by its specific Chronos, the condition of "becoming-child" approach them in time "ainico" of experiences that they encounter as they interrupt the story, and revolutionize it by creating a new beginning, hope and potential history, an array of space-time where other stories can be told about what may be his childhood as power, as a real possibility. Thus, one can not speak in childhood, but in childhood, individuals who learn in stocks, according to the models offered to them by the adult world, showing that the past should become useful and non-coercive, in the formation of new generations teaching not to learn, but how to do it and what not to commit himself, but showing them the value of commitment.

The homonymous research presented in this article will be developed on different fronts, interconnected from Nietzsche’s work and its reflections on Brazilian writers. It is about investigating apparently disconnected works that have ties of affinity and need to be understood not only based on what we call Nietzsche’s reception, but linked to a movement of revision and critical formation that has been built throughout the 20th century.

Recorded since the 16th century by oral and written traditions, the romance “El prisionero” was transmitted by different ethnic groups, from the Iberian Peninsula to Spanish and Portuguese colonies of the New World. Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa rephrased this vast repertoire of traditions in his prose fiction. Considering this premise and reference works on the Iberian romance, this study aims to discuss the possible influence of “El prisionero” in “Quadrinho de estória” (1967), examining themes and motives of the tale and the romance.

Introduction to<i>Visual Arts Research</i>Special Issue, Body Cam: The Visual Regimes of Policing

Indian English literature has witnessed a remarkable transformation with the emergence of women writers who have played a pivotal role in challenging societal norms and redefining the literary landscape. From the colonial period to contemporary times, Indian women writers have broken barriers, asserting their voices in a space historically dominated by male narratives. Their works not only reflect personal and collective struggles but also engage with broader socio-political issues such as patriarchy, gender discrimination, caste, class, and identity. The journey of women in Indian English literature began with pioneers like Toru Dutt and Sarojini Naidu, who, despite societal constraints, established themselves as influential literary figures. Their poetry and prose often intertwined themes of nationalism, feminism, and cultural identity. The post-independence era saw the rise of novelists like Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, and Nayantara Sahgal, who focused on the psychological depth of female protagonists, shedding light on their inner turmoil and resistance against oppressive structures. These writers paved the way for later generations to explore themes beyond domesticity, delving into areas of sexuality, violence, and female agency. The evolution of Indian English literature has been significantly shaped by the contributions of women writers, who have not only enriched the literary landscape but also challenged the socio-cultural constraints imposed upon them. From the colonial era to contemporary times, women writers in India have continuously fought against patriarchal norms, giving voice to the marginalized, questioning gender roles, and redefining literary traditions. This article explores the journey of Indian women writers in English, examining the challenges they faced and the barriers they broke in their pursuit of literary expression. By analysing the works of prominent women authors across different periods, the paper sheds light on their thematic concerns, stylistic innovations, and socio-political engagements. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, a new wave of Indian women writers emerged, including Shashi Deshpande, Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Kiran Desai, and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Their narratives expanded the scope of Indian English literature by addressing transnationalism, migration, and hybrid identities while maintaining a strong feminist perspective. Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997), for instance, revolutionized literary discourse with its experimental style and critical engagement with social injustices. Similarly, Jhumpa Lahiri’s works explore the complexities of diasporic existence and the challenges of cultural assimilation. The literary contributions of these women are significant not just in terms of storytelling but also in their impact on feminist discourse in India. Writers like Mahasweta Devi used literature as a tool for activism, highlighting the oppression of tribal communities and marginalized women. Contemporary voices such as Meena Kandasamy and Perumal Murugan continue this legacy by addressing caste and gender issues with boldness and defiance. Their works exemplify how Indian women writers are no longer confined to traditional themes but are actively engaging with political and revolutionary narratives. Despite their achievements, Indian women writers have often faced systemic challenges, including lack of recognition, gender bias in publishing, and the expectation to conform to established literary norms. However, their perseverance has led to the creation of a distinct and dynamic body of literature that reflects the evolving status of women in Indian society. By breaking barriers and rewriting narratives, they have carved out a space where diverse female experiences are represented, celebrated, and critically examined. KEYWORDS: Indian English literature, women writers, feminism, gender, patriarchy, diaspora, identity, transnationalism, activism, literary discourse, cultural assimilation.

MANAGEMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND CURRENT STRATEGIES: PART 2— MODERN MANAGEMENT

This article discusses the press-dramaturgy relations in the life and work of Brazilian writer Nelson Rodrigues (1912-1980). First, it presents the trajectory of the playwright in the Brazilian journalism through the informations brought in the biography made by Ruy Castro, an experience that has furnished inspiration for his fictional universe and gave him an dynamic and efficient narrative style. Next, it’s analyzed the representation of the press in three of his plays (Viuva, porem honesta; Boca de ouro e O beijo no asfalto), in which he questions the criteria used by the theatre criticism on newspapers and also the transformation of news into a theatrical spectacle created by the press.

This paper investigates relationships between assembly places and expressions of collective identities among Gaelic elites during the period from the 9th to the 16th century in Ireland. I note patterns of continuity and change in users of assembly sites located in the “Midland Corridor” of Ireland, a historically important route between the early medieval provinces of Mide and Munster. Assembly sites, distinguished as exceptional places by their distinctive topographies and funerary aspects, were the focus of displays of ancestral attachment among Gaelic ruling dynasties. Who convened assemblies and where they were held were influenced by deference to mythological identities arising from the pseudo-historical binary cosmography of the island, changes in territorial boundaries, and the tendency for powerful families to dominate.

The flourishing of the publishing market in Brazil in the first decades of the 20th century is associated with the social, economic, and political transformations that accompanied the advent of the republic and, after 1930, the inflections of the so-called Vargas era. Publishers with growing prestige began to create repertoires that could capture the multiple dimensions of the nation and affirm identarian matrices. Through letters, lively soirées, and political complicities, they constituted solid sociability networks, reflected in the names of the authors in their catalogues. In the presentation and selection of works, they assimilated the impulses of the modernist and regionalist literary movements, revealing talents from various regions of Brazil. They benefited from the expansion of educational policies, the birth of universities, and the maturing of the human sciences. In addition, they made efforts to educate the reading public using rigorously organized collections under the curatorships of renowned writers and bibliophiles. They were aware of the cultural mission they carried out in a country with a still-precarious cultural and educational structure. Among the many collections which appeared, involving the translation of classics of literature or foreign popular science books, a central place was given to the '(re)discovery of Brazil.' In austere or finely made editions, the Brasilianas (works about Brazil), literary collections, individual works by Brazilian writers, poets, and essayists from different generations, and also foreign perspectives of Brazil all gained materiality. Echoing the famous phrase by the Paulista writer Monteiro Lobato, “a country that makes men and book,” the publishers of the period acted in a profound connection—even in positions of confrontation—with the ideas of the nation that appeared on the horizon at that time.

Mali—a Nlaka'pamux inhabitant of the Fraser Canyon—left behind a small but significant legacy of published articles about her life and her people at the turn of the 20th century. Completely unknown today, she was nonetheless one of the first women writers, if not the first Indigenous female writer, published in British Columbia. Her small collection of writings deserves attention not only for its first-person perspective on aspects on Nlaka'pamux culture, but for the window into the way this young Indigenous woman thought about the world around her at the turn of the 20th century.

The Social Construction of Anorexia Nervosa • Preventing Eating Disorders: A Handbook of Interventions and Special Challenges

English abstract: For a long time, little attention was paid to the sexuality of girls in the social sciences and the humanities; the focus issue prefaced by the following remarks is to be devoted in particular to the tension between vulnerability and self-determination in relation to the sexuality of girls. Accordingly, the three authors of the following contributions deal with self-determination and violence, sanctioning and free spaces. Three case studies are used to examine how girls’ sexuality was perceived, channeled, suppressed or instrumentalized in different historical contexts in Germany and Austria in the 20th century, but also empowered and expressed and lived by girls and young women themselves.

I feel a little like Mary Lasker, who was asked late in her life if she had to start over again whether she would consider a career as a scientist. She replied, “Oh no! I couldn't cut up a frog! And I certainly couldn't perform surgery! Nobody would have me in their laboratory for five minutes
