“Story of the Transformation” by Yolanda Castaño. English translation by Keith Payne in Six Galician Poets, edited by Manuela Palacios. Arc Publications, 2016.

Socrates in the Lysis discusses philia and the conditions under which two or more people can be said to engage in this relationship. Many commentators take Socrates to be attempting to discover how human beings enter into the relationship of friendship, a relationship characterized by reciprocal affection, altruistic concern and personal intimacy. Other readers of the Lysis see in the dialogue’s investigation of philia a discussion of desire and attraction at the most general level. On this view, philia is one species of the general human desire for good. The present paper develops a third reading of philia. Philia is a type of partnership or fellowship where affection and intimacy are not central features of the relationship. The fellowship involves at least one party who possesses wisdom while other members of the fellowship seek to benefit from wisdom. Thus philia is a characteristically human response to the need for wisdom. The members of such a fellowship share a common desire for a good which gives purpose to their association, and because of their common desire to benefit from this good the members can be described as fellows or partners in the pursuit of this good.

Resumo A oclusão arterial aguda do membro inferior continua sendo um grande desafio para o cirurgião vascular. A abordagem cirúrgica depende principalmente da gravidade da lesão tecidual e da duração dos sintomas. Diversas técnicas estão disponíveis no arsenal terapêutico atual; porém, independentemente da técnica escolhida, fatores pós-operatórios, como o escoamento arterial limitado e o baixo fluxo nos substitutos arteriais, podem contribuir negativamente no resultado da revascularização. Descrevemos um caso de oclusão arterial aguda de membro inferior, no pós-operatório de uma derivação femorotibial, que se encontrava ocluída devido a limitação de escoamento e a alta resistência vascular periférica. Foi submetido a nova revascularização femorotibial, associada à confecção de uma fístula arteriovenosa, seguido de amputação de antepé e enxerto parcial de pele. O investimento enérgico no membro em risco possibilita reduzir os desfechos desfavoráveis, como amputação e óbito, e acelera a recuperação dos tecidos acometidos pela isquemia aguda.

Abstract The Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) literature recommends that intervention is embedded within everyday routines that occur in the natural environment. However, little research has examined the implementation of routines-based models of ECI. The aim of this paper was to describe the development of a Routines-Based Early Childhood Intervention (RBECI) model. The RBECI model consists of four key components: a) Routines-Based Interviews (RBIs); b) participation-based goals; c) home visits; and d) community consultations. Empirical evidence supporting each component of the model is provided, and results from a preliminary evaluation of the implementation of the model are discussed. Further research is required evaluating processes involved in the implementation of the model by ECI professionals and its impact on children and families.

Although the definition and purpose of transitional justice (TJ) does not preclude the inclusion of non-state business actors’ involvement in past authoritarian state or armed conflict violence, these types human rights violations (HRVs) are not included in formal TJ mandates. Nonetheless, in practice, TJ processes have included ad hoc measures to hold economic actors responsible for those violations. This article seeks to participate in the ongoing discussions and design of a UN-initiated proposal for a treaty on business and human rights by adding the TJ dimension. It draws on the Corporate Accountability and Transitional Justice (CATJ) data base to show that TJ initiatives have already incorporated economic actors in the investigations of past human rights abuses and how they have done so. It further explores what is missing from these processes and how a treaty on business and human rights could help fill those voids and advance victims’ rights to truth, justice, and reparations.

The question of how the environmentalization of the curriculum might occur inthe higher education sector in a sustainable manner has become a local, national,regional and global concern for environmental educators, specifically, and educators,generally. The contemporary ACES framework includes ten characteristics of“environmentalization” deemed appropriate for incorporation into teacher educationprograms, and has been adopted by some Brazilian public universities among othersin Latin America and Europe. This highly influential framework was developed by agroup of “Latin” academics from Europe and Latin America. We bring that frameworkinto critical dialogue with the development of the “socially critical” and “post-critical”perspectives in environmental education curriculum and framings of its research,as this critical discourse has developed in the Anglo-speaking North over the pastthirty years. We reflexively identify a number of key similarities and differences in thisSouth-North dialogue. Brazilian educators, curriculum specialists and researchers, forwhom this article is primarily written, might further refine the critical possibilitiesof the ACES framework in their efforts to environmentalize the curriculum. Morebroadly, this article exemplifies a non-colonial approach to globalizing the discourseof environmental education.

In his landmark work Language in the Americas, Greenberg (1987) proposed that Macro-Carib was one of the major low-level stocks of South America, which together with Macro-Panoan and Macro-Ge-Bororo were claimed to comprise the putative Ge-Pano-Carib Phylum. His Macro-Carib includes the isolates Andoke and Kukura, and the Witotoan, Peba-Yaguan, and Cariban families. Greenberg’s primary evidence came from person-marking paradigms in individual languages, plus scattered words from individual languages collected into 79 Macro-Carib ‘etymologies’ and another 64 Amerind ‘etymologies’. The goal of this paper is to re-evaluate Greenberg’s Macro-Carib claim in the light of the much more extensive and reliable language data that has become available largely since 1987. Based on full person-marking paradigms for Proto-Cariban, Yagua, Bora and Andoke, we conclude that Greenberg’s morphological claims are unfounded. For our lexical comparison, we created lexical lists for Proto-Cariban, Proto-Witotoan, Yagua and Andoke, for both Greenberg’s 143 putative etymologies and for the Swadesh 100 list. From both lists, a total of 23 potential cognates were found, but no consonantal correspondences were repeated even once. We conclude that our greatly expanded and improved database does not provide sufficient evidence to convince the skeptic that the Macro-Carib hypothesis is viable.

Este trabalho trata da ligação, ou melhor, a desligação (a eliminação dos limites de gênero), entre as artes plásticas e a literatura através duma análise profunda de dois textos modernistas: “Saltimbancos” de José de Almada Negreiros e “a paisagem do relógio branco” de Mário Cesariny. Propõe-se que uma leitura de corte profundo da obra de Almada Negreiros revela uma crítica do autor da Primeira Guerra Mundial e a subsequente deformação social. Contudo, o tom geral da narrativa (militante e pesado de frustração) fica evidente, embora não se consiga perceber a crítica exata de Almada Negreiros. O conto de Cesariny não tem uma mensagem de caráter crítico detrás das imagens, mas ainda reflete a proposta do movimento surrealista: superar a realidade falsa tratada nas obras neorrealistas da época. O conto “a paisagem do relógio branco” logra ultrapassar a realidade por fazer o leitor, primeiramente, visualizar os deslocamentos e, depois, experimentar o deslocamento sinestésico do texto.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las relaciones económico-sociales de la reconocida propietaria de esclavos doña Manuela de Zavaleta y sus esclavas María Manuela y Josefa Catarina, en la sociedad colonial tardía de Costa Rica. El título que inspira este estudio se basa en el caso de Josefa Catarina, hija mulata de la esclava María Manuela, quien fue vendida en 1779 por su dueña, doña Manuela de Zavaleta, desde el vientre de su madre, por 25 pesos de plata. Basado en este caso poco usual, este artículo trata de reconstruir las condiciones materiales y sociales en las que estas mujeres figuraron en el Cartago de la época. En concreto, se profundizará en la sociedad y la familia desde diversos ámbitos; por ejemplo: la parentela, la reproducción, y sobre todo, la dinámica económica en la que ellas se encontraban inmersas: la esclavitud.

En el este artículo se analizan las expresiones de las diversas comunidades de la provincia de El Salvador, a raíz de los movimientos antifiscales y antiespañolistas acaecidos en 1811. Desde el punto de vista documental y metodológico, la mayoría de los textos escritos acerca de los movimientos sociales en El Salvador, entre los años 1811 y 1814, tienen ciertas características generales: a) fueron, en su mayoría obras escritas con propósitos oficiales, cuyos objetivos – políticos e ideológicos– eran consolidar el nacionalismo salvadoreño y dotarlo de antecedentes históricos, ganados por una gesta heroica; b) dado lo anterior, existe una buena cantidad de textos oficiales que no han modificado la interpretación oficial de los mencionados movimientos. De manera que se hace necesaria la rigurosa lectura de fuentes parcializadas, las que deben ser analizadas mediante el método comparativo. En esta clave, se analizan las reivindicaciones, las acciones colectivas y los resultados de la protesta social en cada una de las comunidades, con el fin de entender cuál fue la problemática manifiesta en general, así como en cada caso particular. El análisis de estas poblaciones resulta novedoso ya que, tradicionalmente, el movimiento de 1811 en ese país, ha sido interpretado desde el punto de vista de los sucesos de la capital, por lo que se hace ahora necesario replantear estos movimientos para integrar en ellos todas las expresiones comunales que fueron el resultado de la situación de las comunidades.

O planeamento antecipado de cuidados (acp) comporta processos que permitem descobrir e registar as preferências pessoais relativas a cuidados e tratamentos em situações futuras bem como diferenciar esta planificação da planificação profissional de cuidados a dirigir a um dado indivíduo. Desenvolvido a partir da aplicação de cuidados paliativos sustentados pela gravação das decisões dos doentes referentes à recusa antecipada de tratamento, prevenindo situações de incapacidade cognitiva no final da vida, os processos de acp alargaram-se, recentemente, aos cuidados de saúde e cuidados de protecção social prolongados. Este processo tem como objectivo envolver clientes, famílias e outros cuidadores informais no sentido de se prepararem para pensar antecipadamente acerca das exigências de situações de necessidade de cuidados difíceis. A investigação demonstra que esse processo aumenta a satisfação dos clientes com os serviços e amplia a probabilidade de se verem alcançadas as escolhas de clientes e famílias. O acp é um avanço importante na teorização do serviço social relativamente às questões específicas da prestação de serviços de longa duração, quando o papel destes serviços se perspectivava apenas focalizado na gestão e coordenação dos casos. Este processo, fortalece, também, a participação dos clientes na tomada de decisão sobre os serviços sociais a adequar à sua situação.
