Our main objective is to discuss about the images of the region in the national scene, focusing on the perception of the fragmentation that stresses the regions and contributes to the superiority of one over the others. Our theoreticalmethodological perspective is based on the insurgent NE, cultural representations and political fragmentation. We will analyze the images of the Northeast in the nation, and the factors that contributed to the devalued view of other regions towards this territory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

lia Rodrigues à representação da mulher na literatura brasileira" analisa a crítica literária de Amélia Rodrigues em relação à representação da mulher na literatura brasileira. A pesquisa examina as obras de escritoras brasileiras do século XIX e XX, como Clarice Lispector, Rachel de Queiroz e Carolina Maria de Jesus, e destaca a importância de uma perspectiva feminina na literatura. O texto discute as limitações e estereótipos impostos às mulheres na sociedade e como isso se reflete na literatura. Amélia Rodrigues argumenta que a representação da mulher na literatura deve ser mais diversa e realista, retratando as experiências e desafios enfrentados pelas mulheres brasileiras. A crítica literária também enfatiza a necessidade de dar voz às mulheres marginalizadas e explorar temas como maternidade, sexualidade e identidade feminina. O estudo conclui que a literatura brasileira precisa evoluir para incluir uma variedade de vozes femininas e representar de forma mais autêntica a experiência das mulheres no país.

Euclides da Cunha questioned the boundaries between civilization and barbarism, revealing how the so-called civilized society could be barbaric. However, the Euclidean analysis cannot detach itself from positions dictated by "civilization", which, based on "scientific" foundations, justified imperialist advances. Such orientation is largely due to the writer's training, who, at the Military School, had contact with this scientism and with a sense of "commitment to the nation". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

I analyse Gramsci's internationalist thinking from a sociological perspective, interpreting how he reconciled the ideals inherent to "proletarian internationalism" with the demand for national Italian unification. The methodology consists of tracing a parallel between biography and "Political Writings", exposing his first forays in favour of the independence of Sardinia, his turn to workers' militancy in Turin and the fight against fascism. I conclude with arguments from nationality theorists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the speech of U.S. President, Barak Obama, in Brazil, in 2011, from extralocality category to understand how images of Brazilian nation are formed. It arguments that American culture means to the Brazilian culture from the perspective of the colonizer, which builds images of a colonized nation, elevating the Brazilian nation to global powerhouse, diverging it from other Latin nations. The paper proposes an approximation between the concepts of extralocality (BAKHTIN, 2011) and nation (ANDERSON, 2008). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1948, the Argentine philosopher Carlos Astrada interpreted in his work The Gaucho Myth, reprinted in 1964, the poem "Martín Fierro" as an expression of "the myth of the nation." This article demonstrates that Astrada pegged his analysis to changes in political conjuncture associating those who assumed power to the imaginary figure of the "national hero".
