Cité de Dieu, premier roman du jeune écrivain noir Paulo Lins, publié en 1997, connut un immense succès médiatique grâce à son adaptation au cinéma, en 2002, par le publicitaire converti en réalisateur, Fernando Meirelles. C’est donc par la voie du marché cinématographique et de la spectacularisation de la misère et de la violence que le roman racontant le drame de la favela « Cidade de Deus » a été présenté au grand public. L’objectif de cette étude est de cerner le contexte de la parution du roman au Brésil et la représentation du réel mise en œuvre par ce récit pour le moins polémique.AbstractCity of God, first novel by the young Afro-Brazilian writer Paulo Lins, was published in 1997 and achieved great media success by the time of its adaptation to the cinema in 2002. The screenplay was directed by the advertisement film director converted into a filmmaker, Fernando Meirelles. Therefore this novel, which narrates the story of Cidade de Deus, a Rio de Janeiro favela, is presented to the great audience by means of the cinematographic market and the spectacularization of misery. This paper intends to apprehend the context in which the novel was published in Brazil and the representation of reality staged by this, to say the least, polemic narrative.

Este artigo trata da representação da paisagem urbana do Rio de Janeiro no romance Quincas Borba, de Machado de Assis. Procuro argumentar que a presença da paisagem é muito efetiva neste romance, estando, porém, velada porque só pode ser vista através do subjetivismo e esquizofrenia das personagens principais, especialmente Rubião e Sofia. Sustento que Machado incorporou sua visão da sociedade na própria linguagem e representação ficcional desse romance, onde a paisagem urbana funciona como elemento oculto, que se expressa através dos efeitos que exerce sobre o comportamento ético e psicológico das personagens. Abstract This article is about the representation of the Rio de Janeiro’s urban landscape in the Machado de Assis’ novel Quincas Borba. I intend to argue that the landscape is very effective in Machado’s novel, but it is veiled because we can only see it through the subjective and schizophrenic perceptions of the main characters, specially Rubião and Sofia. I defend that Machado incorporated his own social view in the novel’s language and fictional representation. Throughout the novel, the urban landscape works as a hidden element that expresses itself through the effects on the character’s ethical and psychological behavior.

Abstract “The music of sorcery in Brazil” was given as a lecture by Mário de Andrade to the Brazilian Music Association (Associação Brasileira de Música), in Rio de Janeiro, in 1933. The author never managed to complete its revision for publication. This was undertaken by Oneyda Alvarenga, who published the text of the lecture and a series of related documents in Volume XIII - Música de Feitiçaria no Brasil-of the Complete Works of Mário de Andrade (Editora Itatiaia/Instituto Nacional do Livro, 1983, p.23-70). The author is in search for the role of music, with its distinctive rhythms and melodic form, in the mystical trance of Afro-Brazilian religions. The text combines the flavour of his direct research experience in the catimbó of the Brazilian Northeast; his erudite bibliographical studies that were strongly influenced by evolutionary and diffusionist anthropology at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the twentieth; and an analysis of the music of macumba in the Rio de Janeiro around the 1930s as found in the recordings that Andrade so much enjoyed collecting and listening to.

The Introduction lays out the past and recent historiography to explain the necessity for this book, emphasizing its focus on parliamentary history (poorly understood and generally ignored over the past fifty years), Afro-Brazilian mobilization (here restored to its primacy in the origins and constitution of the movement), and Rio de Janeiro (cockpit of imperial politics). It also emphasizes the importance of understanding the movement’s history chronologically, as something born of the interactions between itself and parliament, the monarch, and the Afro-Brazilian middle class and masses in Rio over time. Finally, it provides a brief account of the contents of each chapter

Novel Variants

The sharp increase of COVID-19 cases in late 2020 has made Brazil the new epicenter of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The novel viral lineages P.1 (Variant of Concern Gamma) and P.2, respectively identified in the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Rio de Janeiro, have been associated with potentially higher transmission rates and antibody neutralization escape. In this study, we performed the whole-genome sequencing of 185 samples isolated from three out of the five Brazilian regions, including Amazonas (North region), Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba and Bahia (Northeast region), and Rio de Janeiro (Southeast region) in order to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2 lineages in Brazil in the first months of 2021. Here, we showed a widespread dispersal of P.1 and P.2 across Brazilian regions and, except for Amazonas, P.2 was the predominant lineage identified in the sampled states. We estimated the origin of P.2 lineage to have happened in February, 2020 and identified that it has differentiated into new clades. Interstate transmission of P.2 was detected since March, but reached its peak in December, 2020 and January, 2021. Transmission of P.1 was also high in December and its origin was inferred to have happened in August 2020. We also confirmed the presence of lineage P.7, recently described in the southernmost region of Brazil, to have spread across the Northeastern states. P.1, P.2 and P.7 are descended from the ancient B.1.1.28 strain, which co-dominated the first phase of the pandemic in Brazil with the B.1.1.33 strain. We also identified the occurrence of a new lineage descending from B.1.1.33 that convergently carries the E484K mutation, N.9. Indeed, the recurrent report of many novel SARS-CoV-2 genetic variants in Brazil could be due to the absence of effective control measures resulting in high SARS-CoV2 transmission rates. Altogether, our findings provided a landscape of the critical state of SARS-CoV-2 across Brazil and confirm the need to sustain continuous sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 isolates worldwide in order to identify novel variants of interest and monitor for vaccine effectiveness.

Peuples Autochtones

La question des relations respectueuses et, dans le cadre de ces relations, la question de la conciliation des lois et des valeurs relatives à l’usage et au contrôle du patrimoine immatériel autochtone, sont soulevées dans de nombreux contextes muséaux, entre autres en ce qui concerne : le rapatriement des objets de culture matérielle et des informations associées ; la cogestion des informations et des expressions culturelles qui étaient (ou ont été) considérées comme sensibles ou sacrées par une communauté autochtone ; les données et les résultats des recherches portant sur les Peuples autochtones ou menées sur leurs territoires ; et les images numériques et les procédés multimédias conçus pour améliorer les expositions ou l’accès aux informations, ainsi que la participation des Autochtones à l’interprétation et au contrôle des collections et/ou la participation du grand public par l’intermédiaire des technologies actuelles (par exemple, les « musées virtuels »). Cependant, la nature particulière des normes occidentales de la propriété intellectuelle (dictées dans une large mesure par des contraintes internationales) et la scission entre matériel et immatériel dans le domaine de la propriété occidentale compliquent le tableau. Cet article décrit l’environnement juridique et politique actuel du traitement du patrimoine immatériel dans les expositions et les collections muséales et la façon dont la Loi sur la propriété intellectuelle, en particulier sur les questions des marques de commerce et des droits d’auteur, présente autant d’opportunités que de difficultés pour la mise en oeuvre de politiques acceptables vis-à-vis des lois autochtones et de relations respectueuses avec les Autochtones.
