O autômato: uma figura da paixão / The automaton: a figure of passion

Resumo: Neste artigo, propõe-se realizar uma apresentação crítica do conto, O homem da areia, de E.T.A. Hoffman, inserido no universo psicanalítico por Freud, em 1919, em Das Unheimliche. Este estudo apresentará aquele material literário, verificando a complexidade narrativa e a riqueza de elementos que o compõem. Em seguida, examiná-lo sob o ângulo da paixão, precisamente, como uma narrativa acerca da experiência de uma loucura passional que culmina numa tragicidade daquela natureza. Propõe-se conceber o mecanismo psíquico da alienação como intrínseco ao fenômeno do automatismo, próprio de um estado passional. É possível estabelecer tal processo, tanto nas modulações discursivas do texto, como na constituição dos personagens, mais propriamente em Natanael e Olímpia. A partir desta perspectiva, evidencia-se o autômato como uma figura da paixão.

ABSTRACT: In this article, we pursuit a critic presentation of the tale Sandman, by E.T.A. Hoffmann, inserted on the psychoanalytic universe by Freud, in 1919, in Das Unheimliche. In a first moment, this study presents that literary material, verifying the narrative complexity and the richness of the elements that composes it. After, examining it under the angle of passion, precisely, as a narrative regarding the experience of a passion folly that culminates in a tragicity of that nature. We propose to conceive the psychic mechanism of alienation as intrinsic to the automatism phenomenon, distinctive of a passionate condition. It is possible to establish such process, both in the discursive text modulations, as in the constitution of the characters, more specifically in Natanael and Olympia. From this perspective, it becomes clear the automaton as a figure of passion.

Histeria, femineidad y locura en los tiempos del otro que no existe / Hysteria, feminity and folly in the epoch of the non existing other

Este trabajo realiza un recorrido por diversas referencias teóricas para intentar situar la especificidad de las llamadas locuras en las mujeres entre histeria y femineidad; así mismo se sitúa cómo la lógica de estas responde a ciertas coordenadas subjetivas estructurales que a su vez están tomadas por los puntales que estructuran la época y sus avatares.

This paper examines various theoretical references to put into place the specificity of so-called follies in women, between hysteria and femininity. It places, as well, how their logic responds to certain subjective structural coordinates, taken in turn by the coordinates that structure our time and its avatars.

Status of the coral reefs in Foul and Folly Bays, Morant Wetlands, south-eastern Jamaica, with emphasis on corals and macroalgae / Estado de los arrecifes de coral en Foul and Folly Bays, Morant Wetlands, sureste de Jamaica, con énfasis en corales y macroalgas

Foul and Folly Bays are located within the Morant Wetlands near the eastern tip of Jamaica. They have never been investigated but were believed to be important for larval productivity because of the extent of benthic habitats, absence of major coastal developments and remote location. The study was aimed at providing baseline data on the spatial distribution and status of corals and associated benthos. We investigated coral reefs and associated areas with phototransects at eight stations analysed with the Coral Point Count software. Most areas were dominated by algae, evidence of a phase shift from coral to algal reefs. Coral cover varied significantly across the bays (ANOVA, p= 0.0342) with a maximum of 27.03% at the deepest station and a mean of 5.6% at all other stations combined. Mean cover of macroalgae was 39% and varied significantly across stations (α= 0.05, F= 7.472, p= 0.005). The deepest station also had the highest percentage of calcareous algae and live coral while dead coral with algae (DCA) was a significant variable across all other stations (ANOVA, p<0.001). Gorgonians (ANOVA, p<0.001), sponges and urchins were also assessed. Diadema antillarum was not observed at any station. Overall the status of the reefs was poor, probably due to overfishing, absence of urchins and the resultant algal proliferation.

Las bahías Foul y Folly se encuentran dentro de los Humedales Morant cerca de la punta oriental de la isla de Jamaica. Estos dos bahías nunca han sido investigadas pero se cree que son áreas importantes para la productividad larvaria debido a la extensión de los hábitats bentónicos, ausencia de desarrollos importantes a lo largo de la costa y la ubicación remota de la zona. El estudio tuvo como objetivo proporcionar datos de referencia sobre la distribución espacial y el estado de los corales y del bentos asociado. Investigamos los arrecifes coralinos y áreas asociadas utilizando fototransectos en ocho estaciones analizadas con el programa Coral Point Count. La mayoría de las áreas tuvieron predominio algal, mostrando evidencia del desplazamiento de fase de coral a algas. La cobertura de coral varió significativamente a través de las bahías (ANOVA , p= 0.0342), con un máximo de 27.03% en la estación estación más profunda y una media de 5.6% en todas las demás estaciones combinadas. La media de porcentaje de cobertura de macroalgas fue de 39% y varió significativamente entre las estaciones (α= 0.05, F= 7.472, p= 0.005). La estación mas profunda presentaba el mayor porcentaje de algas calcáreas y coral vivo, mientras que el coral muerto con algas (DCA) fue una variable significativa en todas las demás estaciones (ANOVA , p<0.001). También se evaluaron las gorgonias (ANOVA , p<0.001), esponjas y erizos de mar. No se observó Diadema antillarum en todas las estaciones dentro de los transectos. En general, el estado de los arrecifes era pobre, probablemente debido a la pesca excesiva, la ausencia de erizos y la proliferación de algas resultante.
