In this translation, Machado intentionally imitated Baudelaire's mistakes in “Le Corbeau” as a way to criticize European intermediation in Brazil at that time. Three years after publishing the translation, Machado emulated Poe in a short story titled “Só!” (“Alone!”). Included in its first paragraph is a quote from Poe's “The Man of the Crowd.”Recently translated into English by Greicy Pinto Bellin and Ana Lessa-Schmidt, “Alone!” shows us the ways Machado emulated Poe in his search for literary modernity and literary national identity, reinforcing the interest in the North American writer in literature classes in Brazil.

RELAÇÕES DE PROXIMIDADE ENTRE ATORES LOCAIS E AS DINÂMICAS DE DESENVOLVIMENTO TERRITORIAL: ANÁLISE DA CADEIA PRODUTIVA DO QUEIJO ARTESANAL SERRANO NOS CAMPOS DE CIMA DA SERRA/RS

In the face of an increasing withdrawal of public authorities, the concept of territorial development is becoming important. A growing involvement of local actors in these development dynamics is visible. Here they increase their capacity to mobilize resources and create their own projects. Cooperative relations among local actors in short value chains seem to be a key element of their resilience, in which trust relationships are central. In this sense, we analyze the relationships of beef cattle production in native pastures associated with the production of Serrano Cheese in the Campos de Cima da Serra region-RS. This activity of historical importance disagrees with sanitary norms of production. In fact, the Brazilian laws do not deal with the specificities of artisanal production and are subject to the same sanitary standards and facilities as industrial dairies. Nowadays, the interest of consumers in artisanal and local products, and the growth of tourism allow an increase in the demand for artisanal cheese. Seven years ago, the Aprocampos producers' association was created with the objective to seek legal ways to continue producing, preserving historical characteristics of the Serrano cheese. However, this association is fragile, with little interest and initiative from the producers; being the Emater-RS (the extension services), the central actor in the incentive of Aprocampos. In this context, we seek to understand the role of proximity and trust in actor cooperations as well as to elaborate the importance of them for the territorial development process.

Explorando as características da capacidade de inovação de firmas em atividades produtivas de baixa intensidade tecnológica

O artigo analisa a capacidade de inovação de firmas de baixa intensidade tecnológica, com base no ‘Modelo das Capacidade de Inovação’. O Modelo compreende a capacidade de inovação da firma a partir de quatro outras: desenvolvimento, operação, gestão e transação. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo em duas firmas agroindustriais da região dos Campos de Cima da Serra no Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil. As firmas investigadas apresentaram as quatro capacidades previstas no modelo, sendo que uma delas se destacou em cada firma: a capacidade de transação na primeira empresa e a de operação na segunda. Não houve destaque para a capacidade de desenvolvimento, como previsto para firmas de baixa intensidade tecnológica, mas isso não significa que as firmas não tenham rotinas que envolvam a inovação. Essa visão mais abrangente da capacidade de inovação, proporcionada pelo modelo utilizado, contribui para complementar os estudos sobre a complexa natureza do processo inovativo nas firmas. Os resultados apontam também para a necessidade de repensar alguns aspectos do modelo e aplicá-lo novamente no contexto low-tech.

Retro-diagnosis methodology for land consumption analysis towards sustainable future scenarios: Application to a mediterranean coastal area

Abstract Land consumption is a good indicator to directly diagnose present and future imbalances in territories, and indirectly, possible issues associated to the management of other resources. Therefore, after reaching the target of standardizing urban research that makes it possible to build healthier and greener cities, the real challenge for the future is to make the leap from urban scale to regional scale and deploy these policies in an integrated manner, in so-called territories. In that context, this paper presents a model of multidisciplinary analysis through indicators based in land consumption and transformation rates. The model, called GIS-LiDAR retrospective analysis, is implemented through territorial information tools in order to simulate and diagnose possible future imbalances based on past and current trends. This innovative methodology will be applied in a Spanish Mediterranean coastal area called the Campo de Cartagena, a territory with issues related to low-density urban sprawl, intensive agriculture and mass tourism coastal urbanization. This territory of high economic activity and with important environmental protected areas like the Mar Menor lagoon as well as complex interrelated phenomena will be retrohistorically diagnosed from the perspective of land transformation over 60 years. The method, designed to advance future scenarios and help planners in decision-making, will show dangerous current trends leading to imbalances in this area so that future planning can be implemented with smart (sustainable) criteria.

Chromosome mapping of rDNA sites in "Zygopetalum maculatum" (Orchidaceae) polyploid complex

The "Zygopetalum maculatum" complex (Orchidaceae) comprises species with similar morphological characters making difficult their taxonomic delimitation. Cytogenetic data has been widely used as an additional information to the taxonomy of several plant genus. Zygopetalum was recently described as a polyploid genus with 2n=48; 2n=72 and 2n=96 chromosomes. Here, we investigated the karyotype of "Z. maculatum", which mainly occurs in “Campo ruspestre” and "Campos de altitude" environments. The objective was to contribute for the understanding of cytoevolutionary events and speciation mechanisms in the genus Zygopetalum, also contributing to the taxomomy of the group. We investigated individuals with 48 chromosomes from the Corico, Pico do Itambé, Pico do Garrafão and Cotia populations. The individuals with 72 chromosomes were collected at Pico do Itambé and Serra do Cipó. Individuals with 96 chromosomes, were sampled at Finas, Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca and Bocaina. Individuals with 48 chromosomes showed 5S rDNA sites in four chromosomes, being two signals at the subterminal position. The 45S rDNA sites were also identified on four chromosomes at the terminal positions. Individuals with 2n=72 revealed six chromosomes labeled with 5S rDNA, being three of them subterminal. Six terminal 45S rDNA sites were identified on six chromosomes. Finally, in individuals with 96 chromosomes, four out of eight labeled chromosomes with 5S rDNA showed signal at subterminal regions. Considering 45S rDNA, eight sites were also detected, all of them at terminal regions. Taking all data, the number of 5S and 45S chromosome sites increased proportionally as the chromosome number increased, being exactly equal to the number of sites expected for each cytotype, considering 2n=48 individuals as the reference. The results suggest that polyploidization events has to be considered to understand the diversification and speciation in the "Zygopetalum maculatum" complex, helping to explain the morphological pattern observed within the group.Financial support: Fapemig, Capes, CNPq

Vismia conduplicata (Hypericaceae), a new species from Mato Grosso, Brazil

Vismia conduplicata, a new species of Hypericaceae from Mato Grosso state, Brazil, is described and illustrated. It is associated to “campos de murundus”, a kind of Cerrado physiognomy with woody plants growing on earth mounds, in a grassland matrix. The species was included in Vismia sect. Trianthera, based on the number of stamens per stamen fascicle and the number of ovules per locule. A comparison with the morphologically similar species Vismia micrantha is also provided.

Diferenciación del vino a través del terroir: el caso de la DOP Campo de Borja (España)

The Regulatory Council of the DOP Campo de Borja (Spain) promoted a zoning study aimed at knowing the geographical environment and its effect on the quality of wines, in order to delimit the space in Units of Terroir (UT) base to apply a model Productive and commercial reasoned following the concept terroir. It was to seek the specialization and recognition of wine values linked to the territory of origin. The study of the medium, reflected in a map of cartographic soil units (SMU) to scale 1:25.000, was accompanied by an oenological study carried out during three vintages to know the variability of the oenological capacities of the SMU. The results indicate that in the DOP have obtained different types of units of terroir depending on the characteristics of the mistelas used to classify and delimit territorially Units of Terroir.

Nueva metodología para evaluar las características enológicas de las unidades de un terroir. Vinificación de mistela.

To To characterize terroir units that express the interaction between the vine and the geographical environment it is necessary to study the oenological parameters of each terroir. Nevertheless, this study presents many difficulties if the number of areas to study it is huge as it was the case of the zoning of DOP Campo de Borja. Grape analyses during harvest are expensive and give limited information. At the same time, fermentations in small-volume containers are difficult to control and introduce factors that are not directly related to the geographical environment. These small-scale fermentations can distort the link between the wine and the soil giving inaccurate results. In the project for the zoning of the DOP Campo de Borja has been used a new simple method which consists in vinification mistela. This new method consisted on producing a wine spirit directly from the grapes but without alcoholic fermentation. Therefore, with this new methodology of making mistelas, an wine produced without fermentation, was possible to obtain the contribution of the terroir of the DOP Campo de Borja to the composition of the grape and, consequently to the wines

Repression, Rivalry and Racketeering in the Creation of Franco’s Spain: The Curious Case of Emilio Griffiths

This article charts the personal history of Emilio Griffiths Navarro, a key individual in the Francoist administration in the Campo de Gibraltar (Cádiz province) during the early months of the Spanish Civil War. Griffiths is used as a case study to analyse the dynamics of Francoist repression in Southern Spain, and in particular the construction of what Rúben Serém has referred to as the ‘kleptocratic state’ that Franco’s fellow conspirator, General Queipo de Llano, constructed in the South. The article reaffirms the degree to which personal networks, personal rivalries and personal gain played a role in the Francoist repression. As a local case study, it also notes the unique conditions provided by rebel Spain’s border with British Gibraltar, and how this shaped the nature and extent of that repression. The article charts Griffiths’ own demise, from senior rebel official to arrest and unexplained death at the hands of Francoist security forces just 10 months later, and uses the mystery to further speculate as to rivalries and repression in early-Francoist Spain.

Quantifying hydropedological properties of terroir at different scales. Implications in vineyard characteristics of three viticultural regions of the Iberian Peninsula.

Hydropedology is a branch of science that studies the spatial and temporal variability of the soil water content, knowledge needed for a proper application of precision agriculture techniques in viticulture. This work aims to quantify at different scales hydropedological properties of viticultural regions with different geological, climatic and cultural characteristics, and it also aims to explore the relationships between these hydropedological properties and the vineyard characteristics within the studied regions. The structure of drainage networks at landscape scale and the heterogeneity of the soil particle size distribution are the hydropedological properties considered for the purpose of this study. The three winegrowing regions are the Região Demarcada do Douro, in Portugal, and the D.O. Arribes and D.O. Campo de Borja, in Spain, involving a total area of 4,144 km2. The datasets for this work are the soil maps of the three regions scale 1/25,000, the digital terrain model, and the spatial database with the characteristics of the vineyards within the study area. Qualitative relationships have been established between landscape attributes, vineyard characteristics and physical soil properties. Results show that quantifying hydropedological properties using complexity measures provides innovative information of terroirs that could have multiple applications in terroir zoning studies.

Incomparable Empires: Modernism and the Translation of Spanish and American Literature by Gayle Rogers

Reviewed by: Incomparable Empires: Modernism and the Translation of Spanish and American Literature by Gayle Rogers Brian J. Cope Rogers, Gayle. Incomparable Empires: Modernism and the Translation of Spanish and American Literature. Columbia UP, 2016. Pp. 296. ISBN 978-0-23117-856-3. Literary history, modernismo, and translation comprise the three critical constellations of Incomparable Empires: Modernism and the Translation of Spanish and American Literature. The book presents a series of case studies of authors from Spain and the United States who sustained a marked interest in the literary canon of the opposing empire. The book is predominantly a literary and cultural history sprinkled with close readings and critical commentaries of selected texts that will appeal to scholars wishing to gain a cross-national and comparative perspective on the work of Ezra Pound, Juan Ramón Jiménez, John Dos Passos, Miguel de Unamuno, Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Ilan Stavans. The common thread connecting these authors is their work as translators, and in most cases (but not all), their idiosyncratic cultivation of a translational mode of poeisis that lends distinction and originality to their creative work and aesthetic outlook. Incomparable Empires is divided into three sections, each comprised of two chapters that offer insightful historical panoramas and original textual analyses. Ezra Pound and John Dos Passos constitute the focus of the first section ("American Modernism's Hispanists"), which explores the authors' profound interest in the history and literature of Spain. Rogers effectively [End Page 653] shows that both authors developed critical visions of Spain's imperial legacy that contrasted with the more celebratory visions of prominent US Hispanists like William Dean Howells and Archer Milton Huntington (founder of the Hispanic Society of America). Rogers argues persuasively that the authors' engagement with Spain and US Hispanism helped shape their critical views on the state of US letters and on the rise of US imperialism. The chapter on Pound examines traces of the Cantar de mío Cid in The Spirit of Romance and in a selection of the Cantos, framing the latter as a poeticized translation of the Cid that historicizes, interprets, and revitalizes the medieval text. In contrast, the chapter on Dos Passos discusses the influence of Machado's Campos de Castilla on A Pushcart at the Curb, which contains several lyrical vignettes of rural life in modern Castile. Juan Ramón Jiménez and Miguel de Unamuno comprise the focus of the book's second section ("Spain's American Translations"), which examines the authors' engagement with and translation of US literature. The first chapter discusses Jiménez as an heir to Rubén Darío; his interest in US literature and work as a translator; his exile in the United States and Puerto Rico, where he held several professorships; and his desire to fuse modernismo with US modernism. The chapter contains a close reading of Diario de un recién casado that argues that the poem exhibits characteristics of both modernismo and US modernism that reinforce Jiménez's integrative and cosmopolitan aesthetic philosophy. In contrast, the chapter on Unamuno profiles his work as a translator; maps the theories of translation to which he subscribed or from which he departed; and fleshes out his vision for translation as an engine of reciprocal literary and linguistic innovation. The chapter offers an insightful discussion of Unamuno's affinity for Anglophone literature and his understanding of the United States as a rare historical contact zone for English and Spanish that made possible a poet like Walt Whitman. Rogers argues that Unamuno aspired to chart a new course for Spanish poetry through his translation of Whitman and his literary disciples. Rogers defends this wholly untenable position by inferring too much from Unamuno's professed enthusiasm for Anglophone literature and by projecting too much onto Unamuno's veneration of Whitman and his successors. Nevertheless, the chapter makes a respectable contribution to the scholarship in its careful excavation of Unamuno's innovative philosophy of translation, which, as Rogers elegantly demonstrates, intersects with Pound's signature vision of translation as a method of poeisis. The two chapters comprising the book's third section ("New Genealogies") are related only in their focus on US...

“I feel that the mundane has been incorporated”: a conversation with Maria Helena Bernardes

In an interview with Eduardo Veras, artist Maria Helena Bernardes reviews different topics of her life history after the rupture represented by Vaga em Campo de Rejeito, which began in 2001 and marks her growing interest in a less expressive and more communicational dimension of the artist’s work. The interviewee emphasizes the discovery – from situations of collaborative nature – of new ways of understanding daily life and the experience of being in the world. In the conversation, Maria Helena also comments on the exercise of writing and the pleasure of building narratives.

Queijo serrano: uma visão cultural, de qualidade e legal

Introduction : Serrano cheese is an artisanal product, from the region of Campos de Cima da Serra in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and from the Planalto Sul in the state of Santa Catarina. Objective : The objective of the present work is to discuss some cultural, legal and food safety aspects related to the quality of serrano cheese, a product made of raw milk. Method : This manuscript carries out a bibliographical review of the serrano cheese, using updated scientific and legal documents, to analyze the production, quality and cultural aspects of this product. Results : Results presented in the literature and current legislation indicate that the production of these cheeses can be safe for commercialization, having as main requirements: adoption of good manufacturing practices, care of the dairy herd and due maturation of the product. Current national legislation indicates that the minimum maturation time should be 60 days. The publication of a law that regulates the production of serrano cheese in Rio Grande do Sul allows it to be matured for a shorter time, if its microbiological safety is assured. Conclusions : Additionally to revisions in the laws for the production and marketing of cheeses such as serrano, legal reviews are essential in the area of science, technology and health surveillance to provide a scientific basis to the improvement of the production of those who live on the commercialization of these products.

O texto literário como corpus para análise lexical: "O Púcaro Búlgaro", de Campos de Carvalho

O universo de discurso literário engloba um sem-número de outros universos de discurso, transformando-o em um rico e frutífero ambiente para análises linguísticas, sobretudo no nível lexical. Este trabalho, portanto, de caráter modelar, tem como objetivo demonstrar de que maneiras o texto literário se apresenta como corpus para uma análise linguística. Por trabalhar com a arte, além da comunicação, o autor literário deve sempre objetivar a expressividade no uso da língua. É o que tentaremos demonstrar, utilizando como exemplo o romance O Púcaro Búlgaro, de Campos de Carvalho, uma narrativa composta, essencialmente, pela denúncia, renúncia e afastamento das questões de ordem lógica do mundo histórico e social. Para isso, o presente artigo retoma conceitos gerais a respeito da lexicologia e lexicografia, resume questões gerais a respeito do texto literário, e revisa alguns dos principais estudos recentes que trabalharam essa interface. Ao final, são apresentados modelos de análise lexical com a obra literária supracitada.

Habitat segregation by breeding origin in the declining populations of European Robins wintering in southern Iberia

Mediterranean woodlands and associated shrub formations of southern Iberia are key habitats for conservation of migratory birds. In some bird species, migratory and sedentary conspecifics meet in these areas during winter, but our understanding of how each population group is distributed over available habitats and the factors that determine their spatial organization are still unclear. This seriously limits our ability to assess their vulnerability to ongoing environmental changes affecting wintering habitats in this region. We used hydrogen isotopic signatures of feathers (δDf) to shed light on the habitat distribution of seasonally sympatric European Robin Erithacus rubecula populations wintering in Campo de Gibraltar that are currently facing a drastic decline. In contrast to previous studies that used morphological methods to distinguish the migratory behaviour of wintering Robins in this area, our isotopic approach revealed that sedentary Robins were not outcompeted upon the arrival of migrants and remained in the woodlands where they reproduce, which agrees with results obtained in other regions. Interestingly, we also found that migratory Robins with a closer breeding origin (higher δDf values) had a higher probability of occupying woodlands than did migrants coming from further away. Overall, our results suggest that the role of breeding origin in shaping the distribution of Robins during winter in Campo de Gibraltar is more relevant than the effects of sex, age or body size, which might facilitate the evolution of local adaptations for the exploitation of each habitat type.

Galling Insects of the Brazilian Páramos: Species Richness and Composition Along High-Altitude Grasslands

In this work, we investigated the factors that determine the distribution of galling insects in high-altitude grasslands, locally called 'campos de altitude' of Mantiqueira Range and tested whether 1) richness of galling insects decreases with altitude, 2) galling insect richness increases with plant richness, 3) variation in galling insect diversity is predominantly a consequence of its β component, and 4) turnover is the main mechanism driving the beta diversity of both galling insects and plants. Galling insect richness did not exhibit a negative relationship with altitude, but it did increase with plant richness. The additive partition of regional richness (γ) into its local and beta components showed that local diversity (α) of galling insects and plants was relatively low in relation to regional diversity; the β component incorporated most of the regional diversity. This pattern was also found in the multiscale analysis of the additive partition for galling insects and plants. The beta diversity of galling insects and plants was driven predominantly by the process of turnover and minimally by nesting. The results reported here point out that the spatial distribution of galling insects is best explained by historical factors, such as the distribution of genera and species of key host plants, as well as their relation to habitat, than ecological effects such as hygrothermal stress - here represented by altitude.

Insect elevational specialization in a tropical biodiversity hotspot

AbstractTropical montane organisms are vulnerable to climate change because of elevational specialisation, but little is known of the variability in elevational specialisation across tropical insects.We assessed elevational specialisation across several insect taxa comprising four trophic groups 80–2263 m up an elevational transect in Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest, using community‐based and species‐based approaches.We sampled 697 species, of which 32% were found only in the top and 45% only in the bottom half of the transect. Considering only the 182 species with at least five individuals recorded, the percentage of species found exclusively in the top or bottom half drops to 16% and 24%.Across four vegetation belts (lower montane forest, montane forest, upper montane forest and Campos de Altitude) the Eumolpinae (herbivores) were more specialised than Scarabaeinae (saprotrophs), or Lampyridae (predators). This result was robust to the treatment of rare species, and the difference was most marked at higher elevations. Lampyridae lacked upper montane forest specialists.Using all species sampled, specialisation to the upper or lower half of the transect was greatest among Chrysomelidae, Curculionidae (both herbivores) and Lampyridae, and lowest among Tiphiidae (parasitoids) and Coccinellidae (predators). Considering only better sampled species, however, Lampyridae were the most specialised and Braconidae the least specialised. Trophic groups also varied consistent with these findings.Our findings suggest high elevational specialisation and concomitant extinction risk in Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest insects. Differences in elevational specialisation between taxonomic groups may alter the functioning of insect communities under climate change.

Diálogos em tradução: Augusto de Campos e Machado de Assis

Este artigo demonstra que é possível encontrar procedimentos em comum entre Augusto de Campos e Machado de Assis quanto às escolhas que ambos fizeram ao traduzir cantos da Divina Comédia, de Dante Alighieri, demonstrando que a tradução-arte, na terminologia de Augusto de Campos, foi também praticada pelo escritor oitocentista. Busca-se também ampliar o entendimento que se tem do tradutor Machado de Assis, expondo procedimentos tradutórios adotados já ao fim de sua prática como tradutor, no texto que é, talvez, a sua obra-prima em tradução.

EFFECT OF TOPSOIL STOCKPILING ON THE VIABILITY OF SEED BANK IN FIELD PHYTOPHYSIOGNOMIES CAMPOS DE ALTITUDE

ABSTRACT The viability of propagules during topsoil stockpiling is a limiting factor in ecological restoration projects and little is known about the species distributed in the campos de altitude. This work was carried out to investigate the viability of propagules present in the topsoil under campos de altitude vegetation, stockpiled for up to 12 months after the stripping of areas to be mined. In the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between November 2011 and November 2012, four collections of the seed bank were carried out, considering three depths (0 to 10, 90 to 100, and 190 to 200 cm) of the plot of stockpiled topsoil. Using the multivariate analysis, it was verified that the depth factor does not statistically affect the abundance of emerged individuals, while the factor time of stockpiling negatively affects the viability of the seeds. Some species were affected by the stockpiling conditions, only emerging in some collections, while others (Achyrocline satureioides, Ageratum fastigiatum, Baccharis dracunculifolia, Borreria capitata, Echinolaena inflexa and Melinis minutiflora) had individuals emerged in all collection periods. This study points out the need for the return of the topsoil until the fourth month of stocking, under the risk of monodominance, with a prevalence of species more adapted to predominant conditions of campos de altitude.

The kinematics of "Don Quixote" and the identity of the "place in La Mancha": a systemic approach

A multidisciplinary research team using systemic methodologies to analyze the novel The ingenious hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha has discovered the underlying kinematics in Cervantes’ book: an architecture emerging when the riding times between actual geographic places, expressed in days and nights on horseback, were systemically related to the respective real distances expressed in kilometers. Building on this kynematics, two issues were studied: first, the ground that – according to the novel – Rosinante and Sancho’s donkey could cover in a day’s time; and second, the identity of Cervantes’ mysterious “place in La Mancha”, clearly located in the region known as “Campo de Montiel”, and localised within a reasonable degree of certitude to be one of the three following villages: Villanueva de los Infantes, Alhambra and Carrizosa (in this order) in the Spanish province of Ciudad Real.
