Brazil, France, Belgium and Other Francophone Countries: Research Relations and Knowledge Building in Journalism

This article describes the creation of the Journalism Studies Network (REJ) between the University of Brasilia and the University of Rennes 1 (Lannion), to which other French-language research centers such as the University of Laval, Quebec, and more recently the Free University of Brussels also joined. Joint research started in 2000 and is still active today in international cooperation involving dozens of teachers and students from different institutions. Periodic meetings are held at different institutions and countries to present and discuss topics related to ongoing research, from epistemological issues to comparative reports on field research.O artigo a seguir trata de remontar às origens da criação da Rede de estudos sobre jornalismo – REJ, entre a Universidade de Brasília e a Universidade de Rennes 1 (Lannion) ao qual vieram se agregar outros centros de pesquisa em língua francesa tais como a Universidade de Laval, Quebec, e mais recentemente a Universidade Livre de Bruxelas. As pesquisas conjuntas, iniciadas a partir de 2000, se mantêm ativas atualmente dentro de um contexto de cooperação internacional que envolve dezenas de professores e alunos de diferentes instituições. Encontros periódicos são realizados em diferentes instituições e países a fim de apresentar e debater temas relativos a pesquisas em andamento, desde questões epistemológicas até relatos comparativos sobre pesquisas de campo.El siguiente artículo se remonta a los orígenes de la creación de la Red de Estudios de Periodismo – REJ ­–, entre la Universidad de Brasilia y la Universidad de Rennes 1 (Lannion), a la que se agregaron otros centros de investigación en lengua francesa como la Universidad Laval, Quebec, y más recientemente la Universidad Libre de Bruselas.

THE IDENTITIES OF PSYLLIDS (HOMOPTERA: PSYLLOIDEA) IN THE PROVANCHER COLLECTION, WITH THE DESIGNATION OF LECTOTYPES

Provancher (1872, 1886) described eight species of psyllids from eastern Canada. Their identities have subsequently been confused, ignored, or regarded as doubtful by several authors, primarily because the original descriptions were imprecise and the location of type material unknown [see Hodkinson (1988) for summary]. Van Duzee (1912) excluded these species from his review of the synonymy of the Provancher Hemiptera. I have now examined the Provancher psyllid material deposited in the Department of Biology, University of Laval, Ste-Foy, Quebec, Canada. This paper clarifies the identity of species and designates lectotypes where appropriate. None of the specimens bear locality or host-plant data, although these data are usually given in rudimentary form in the descriptions. Provancher did not state numbers of specimens examined in his descriptions.
