My Friend Rubem

A tradução sem fronteiras
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2016v36n3p17Os Estudos da Tradução consistem em uma disciplina nova, a princípio às margens dos departamentos acadêmicos tradicionais, que foi não apenas expandida como reposicionada no centro das humanidades.

Jorge Amado and the internationalization of brazilian literature
Jorge Amado (1912-2001) is the most translated Brazilian writer and the literary figure that has shaped the reception of Brazilian literature in the world. He is credited with opening the international literary market to the post-dictatorship generation of Brazilian writers. Yet Amado is also a controversial figure. The debate around him is sparked by what some believe is sexual and ethnic stereotyping in his post-1958 works and the reinforcement…
The Winning With Wellness Pilot Project
School-based efforts to promote physical activity and healthier eating are a potentially effective approach to decreasing child obesity in rural populations. This article describes follow-up data on student activity and eating behaviors 4 years after implementation of the Winning with Wellness obesity prevention initiative. This project was based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's coordinated school health model and used a commun…

This article describes the development, implementation, effectiveness, feasibility, and sustainability of a school-based obesity prevention pilot project, Winning with Wellness. The program was based on the coordinated school health model and included a community-based participatory research approach aimed …
Esau And Jacob
Esau and Jacob is the last of Machado de Assis's four great novels. At one level it is the story of twin brothers in love with the same woman and her inability to choose between them. At another level, it is the story of Brazil itself, caught between the traditional and the modern, and between the monarchical and republican ideals. Instead of a heroic biblical fable, Machado de Assis gives us a story of the petty squabbles, conflicting ambitions,…

The City in Brazilian Literature
A pioneering work on Brazilian literature that reveals the essentially urban nature of that literature from both a historical and a contemporary perspective
Cultural Pattern and Process
Using time series analysis and systems theory it is possible to translate Kroeber's idea of a cultural configuration and its processual consequences into a less ambiguous model. By employing a mathematical formulation certain features of stylistic change in women's dress become evident: it is stochastic/probabilistic in nature and it is in stable equilibrium. The sequence of women's fashions through time would appear to arise from simultaneous op…

Love as Liturgy and Liturgy as Love
LOVE-and religion are central themes in the fiction of Eqa d Queiroz and have often received critical attention. The close relationship between these two themes has not been adequately explored. In A reliquia, 0 crime do Padre Aniaro and the short story Jose Matias, love and liturgy function interdependently. Ega subverts the experience of love and worship by satirically defining one in terms of the other
Os Diálogos De Grande Sertão

O Riobaldo mantém relaçõesdialéticas complementares com a Juventude, a Velhice, a Natureza, o Sertão e o Jagunço.O diálo…
Toward a Definition of Freedom in Dress
Much clothing research examines conformity in dress as if the antithesis, freedom in dress, were possible. While conforming behavior has been documented, no research on social interaction has shown that a continuum occurs from conformity through varying degrees of conformity ‐freedom to complete freedom in dress; before freedom in dress can be measured it must first be defined.When definitions of freedom from various disciplines are applied to dr…
