Resumo: Este trabalho estuda a trajetória do pseudônimo shakespeariano Caliban, adotado pelo escritor Henrique Coelho Neto (1864-1934), em 1890, para veicular literatura licenciosa nos impressos. Acompanhamos o pseudônimo desde sua estreia até sua última aparição no mundo editorial na década de 1940. Para levar a cabo a tarefa, consultamos os livros publicados por Caliban e investigamos sua atuação na imprensa periódica por meio da consulta online dos jornais na Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Caliban foi um autor de sucesso e parte desse reconhecimento vinha da origem erudita de seu nome. O filtro shakespeariano era crucial para a aceitação dessa literatura nos circuitos letrados, mas muitos a consideravam como mera pornografia. A literatura de Caliban revela um Coelho Neto moderno, contestador e inovador que foi esquecido pela tradição crítica.Palavras-chave: Coelho Neto; William Shakespeare; Caliban; literatura licenciosa.Abstract: This work studies the trajectory of the Shakespearean pseudonym “Caliban”, adopted by writer Henrique Coelho Neto (1864-1934) in the 1890s to convey licentious literature in print. We follow the pseudonym from its debut until its last appearance in the publishing world in the 1940s. To carry out the task, we consulted the books published by Caliban and investigated his performance in the periodic press through online consultation of newspapers in the Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Caliban was a successful author and part of that recognition came from the erudite origin of his name. The Shakespearean filter was crucial for the acceptance of this literature in literary circuits, but many considered it as mere pornography. Caliban’s literature reveals a modern, challenging and innovative Coelho Neto who has been overlooked by critical tradition.Keywords: Coelho Neto; William Shakespeare; Caliban; licentious literature.

And Function

Throughout their careers both Jonson and Shakespeare often encountered Homer, who left a deep impress on their works. Jonson read Homer directly in Greek but Shakespeare did not, or if he did, he left no evidence of that reading in extant works. Both Jonson and Shakespeare encountered Homer indirectly in Latin recollections by Vergil, Horace, Ovid and others, in English translations, in handbooks and mythographies, in derivative poems and plays, in descendant traditions, and in plentiful allusions. Though their appropriations differ significantly, Jonson and Shakespeare both present comedic impersonations of Homeric scenes and figures – the parodic replay of the council of the gods (Iliad 1) in Poetaster (1601) 4.5 and the appearance of “sweet warman” Hector (5.2.659) in the Masque of the Nine Worthies (Love's Labor's Lost, 1588–97). Homer's Vulcan and Venus furnish positive depictions of love and marriage in The Haddington Masque (1608) as do his Hector and Andromache in Julius Caesar (1599), which features other significant recollections. Both Jonson and Shakespeare recall Homer to explore the dark side of honor and fame: Circe and Ate supply the anti-masque in the Masque of Queens (1609), and scenes from Chapman's Iliad supply the comical or tragical satire, Troilus and Cressida (c. 1601). Both poets put Homer to abstract and philosophical uses: Zeus's chain and Venus's ceston (girdle), allegorized, appears throughout Jonson's work and function as central symbols in Hymenaei (1606); Homer's depiction of the tension between fate and free will, between the omnipotent gods and willing humans, though mediated, inflects the language and action of Coriolanus (c. 1608). Ben Jonson and William Shakespeare practice a kind of inventive imitatio which, according to classical and neo-classical precept, re-reads classical texts in order to make them into something new.

In conjunction with the current “revisionism” of English history from a Catholic viewpoint, it is time to undertake a corresponding revision of the plays and personality of William Shakespeare. For this purpose it is not enough to rest content with the meagre historical record, but we have to go ahead in the light of recusant history with a reinterpretation of the plays, considering the extent to which they lend themselves to the Catholic viewpoint. This is not merely a matter of nostalgia for the mediaeval past, but it looks above all to the present sufferings of the “disinherited” English Catholics — in the light of the continued presence of Christ who is suffering, as Pascal famously noted, in his faithful even till the end of the world.

Feedback Data

BackgroundOnline triage software is a new way to triage patients online that allows patients to describe their problem via an online form. A GP then contacts the patient to arrange either a face-to-face or telephone consultation.AimThis study aimed to explore use of online consultation software and gain insight into patients’ experiences of using online consultations, identifying potential barriers and facilitators to use.MethodThis is a mixed methods retrospective study analysing data about patient users and their associated feedback. Data from a sample of 5591 patients were quantitatively analysed to describe characteristics of users. 576 out of the 5591 users left free-text feedback comments on their experience of use. These were thematically analysed.ResultsThe highest levels of use were observed in 25–35-year olds and lowest from those aged >65. Key themes identified included convenience, consultation quality, appropriateness, resource-use and functionality. Within each, a range of subthemes were present representing both positive and negative perceptions, suggesting that experiences of using online triage varied and were often context-dependentConclusionThere are various advantages to online triage software, but these are context-dependent. Therefore, such applications should be offered as an additional way to contact the GP surgery, rather than a replacement for more established methods, to ensure appropriate and equal access for patients.

Julius Caesar

An den Iden des März 44 vor Christus wurde Julius Cäsar von einer Gruppe Senatoren mit dem Dolch ermordet. Mit dabei Cäsars Verbündeter und Mitstreiter Brutus. Auch Du, Brutus? Diese letzten Worte legte William Shakespeare 1599 in seinem Drama «Julius Caesar» dem Sterbenden in den Mund, als auch Brutus mit dem Dolch zustach. Auch Du hast mich verraten. Wir Schweizer Sportmediziner wurden am 30. Januar 2018 aufgeschreckt. Ein Schweizer «Sportarzt» wurde mit versteckter Kamera überführt, wie er aktiv einem Sportler verbotene leistungsfördernde Medikamente (Doping) empfahl und abgab. Et tu, Brute!
