Um Ubu para Chamar de Nosso: Ensaio sobre o Bolsonarismo / A Ubu to Call Ours: Essay on Bolsonarism / Un Ubu para Llamar Nuestro: Ensayo sobre el Bolsonarismo

O objetivo deste ensaio é mostrar que o bolsonarismo é um dispositivo político-ideológico que atua em consonância com processos sócio-políticos ancorados na subjetividade. Para demonstrar a imbricação entre esses âmbitos, percorremos os territórios da filosofia, da psicanálise e da literatura, articulando-os sistemicamente. O intuito é explicitar como processos heterogêneos se organizam de modo a sustentar e a conferir eficácia à ideologia bolsonarista. Para tanto, inicialmente, apresentamos a temática do grotesco em diferentes problematizações ao longo da história, sobretudo na literatura, identificando como ela se personifica nas relações políticas, sociais e nos modos de subjetivação. Em seguida, analisamos as manifestações do mal no campo social baseadas em modalidades de gozo típicas das sociedades capitalistas hipermodernas. Sugerimos que o imperativo do gozo, fundamentado na agressividade, colabora para a sustentação do ódio ao outro, seja por sua diferença radical, seja por sua semelhança assustadora. A partir daí, avaliamos como isso se atualiza no bolsonarismo. Tentamos demonstrar a tese de que o grotesco, a violência e as suas variações são fenômenos resistentes à domesticação, justamente por serem elementos inerentes à condição humana.

This essay is aimed at showing that bolsonarism is a political and ideological device that works in line with socio-political processes anchored in subjectivity. In order to evidence the overlap between these spheres, we traverse the territories of philosophy, psychoanalysis and literature, while articulating them systematically. The purpose is to clarify how heterogeneous processes are organized in order to support the bolsonarist ideology and vest it with effectiveness. To this end, we initially present the theme of grotesqueness across different problematizations throughout history, mainly in literature, pointing how it personifies itself in political and social relations as well as in modes of subjectivation. Then, we analyze the manifestations of evil in the social field based on forms of enjoyment typical of hypermodern capitalist societies. We imply that the imperative of enjoyment, rooted on aggressiveness, contributes to sustaining hatred towards others, either because of their unsettling differences or because of their frightening similarities. Thenceforth, we assess how it makes itself present in bolsonarism. We try to demonstrate the thesis that grotesqueness, violence and their manifestations are phenomenas resistant to domestication, precisely for being elements inherent to human nature.

A partir de ahí, evaluamos cómo esto se actualiza en el bolsonarismo.

Grotesque Elements in Basheer’sThe World Renowned Nose.

Grotesque Realism is one of the important features of Carnival. It presents human body as multiple, incomplete and imperfect and thereby it subverts what is ideal, stable and perfect. As it is a part of Carnival, grotesque representation is basically a revolutionary action. It not only questions the existing hierarchical social structure, it also creates new formula which is egalitarian in nature. The present paper analyses how the famous Malayalam novelist and short story writer Vaikom Muhammed Basheer has made use of the technique of grotesque realism in his novel The World Renowned Nose (ViswaVikyadhamayaMookk). The story focuses on the growth of a nose which has become a matter of dispute and sensation among intellectuals. Basheer also gives a touch of satire and black humour to the story.

Unusual Morphology of Aberrant Forms of Bacteria in Urine: Presented with Grotesque-Giant Form with Central Emptiness and Fusiform Ends / 대한임상병리학회지

Unusual morphology of aberrant forms of bacteria, presented with grotesque-giant form, 15 m 3 m, with central emptiness and fusiform ends was observed in urine Gram stain from a 26-year-old woman who was admitted with the symptoms of acute urinary tract infection. On wet smear, these bacilli were markedly swollen, yeast-like organisms. In addition to normal shaped bacilli, various shapes of another aberrant bacteria, such as long bacilli, filamentous form, filamentous form with central bulge, and bipolar staining with central emptiness were also observed in the same specimen. The morphologic characteristics of these unusual aberrant bacilli were more distinct on Papanicolaou stain than on Gram stain. In Korea, where antimicrobial agents are overused and disused, the frequency of observing the aberrant bacteria would be much higher than cases reported. Here we report unusual morphology of aberrant forms of Escherichia coli with the emphasis on awaring of the potential appearance of such bacilli in clinical specimen and avoiding confusion with fungi and other naturally filamentous organisms.
