 Publicado em 1963, o livro Luuanda, de José Luandino Vieira apresenta três contos marcados pela oralidade do povo angolano. A obra tem o intuito de dar representatividade aos musseques, áreas periféricas onde se abrigam pessoas deslocadas da urbe, além de dar voz a esses indivíduos que vivem à margem. O conto traz como protagonistas duas personagens com vida relegada à miséria, um jovem sem perspectiva de vida e sua avó representando a força materna. Luandino tinha por intenção mostrar as fronteiras geográficas não somente físicas, mas também culturais entre dois polos distintos em Angola: o espaço do colonizador e do colonizado. É uma obra nacionalista e de cunho crítico-social, com os olhos voltados para aqueles que resistem às injustiças de uma comunidade marcada pela colonização. Com isso, busca-se fazer uma análise crítico-interpretativa do conto “Vavó Xíxi e seu neto Zeca Santos” pelo viés da Geografia Humanista Cultural que estuda o ser-estar-no-mundo, de modo a constatar a percepção da paisagem através de elementos simbólicos. Com base na liberdade da literatura em elucidar vários aspectos do ser humano, tanto particular como social, a literatura se propõe a dialogar com a geografia. Nesta análise, a geografia ratifica o seu discurso quando da influência do meio no psicológico do homem, ou seja, a sua relação com a Terra.  Portanto, o conto de Luandino Vieira é um importante instrumento de identificação cultural como símbolo de resistência que referencia a vida nos musseques - espaço de interação de pessoas invisíveis.Palavras-chave: Literatura. Geograficidade. “Vavó Xíxi e seu neto Zeca Santos”.Life in the Musseques: Geograficity in “Vavó Xíxi and her grandchild Zeca Santos” ABSTRACTPublished in 1963, the book Luuanda, by José Luandino Vieira presents three tales marked by the orality of the Angolan people. The work aims to give representation to the musseques, peripheral areas where displaced persons of the city are housed, and to give voice to those individuals who live on the margin. The story brings as protagonists two characters who have a life relegated to misery, a young man without perspective of life and his grandmother representing the maternal strength. Luandino had the intention to show geographical frontier not only physical, but also cultural between two distinct poles in Angola, the space of the colonizer and the colonized. It is a nationalistic and critical-social work so that the eyes are turned to those who resist the injustices of a colonized community. With this, it seeks to make a critical-interpretative analysis of the tale “Vavó xíxi and her grandchild Zeca Santos” by the bias of the Cultural Humanist Geography that studies being-and-being in the world and verify the perception of the landscape through symbolic elements. For it is on the basis of the freedom of literature to elucidate various aspects of the human being, both private and social, that literature dialogues with geography. In this analysis, geography ratifies his discourse in the influence of the environment on the psychological of man, that is, his relationship with the Earth. Therefore, the tale of Luandino Vieira is an important instrument of cultural identification as a symbol of resistance that references life in the musseques - space of interaction of invisible people.Keywords: Literature.

Rasulullah saw. had informed muslims about the occurrences that will befall mankind on their way to the end of time, including the evil disasters that will hit the earth, kill, and destroy the human being. As a muslim, there is no word except that we believe in the occurrences and phases of the journey towards the end of the time. This study aimed to explain one of the occurrences of the journey towards the end of time that befall the world and mankind today, which is one of the deadly infectious outbreaks so-called coronavirus or covid-19, which has destroyed many people, imprisoned people in cities and countries, and caused various disasters and havocs as the result of the outbreak. The research method used was library research which was through a literature review related to the research. The results showed that the information of the journey towards the end of time would appear one by one in the range of human life, how they live, so thus Allah swt. shows them the meaning of the age they lived in. The worse human life is, the more Allah swt. show the badness of that era to the point where it is rampant engulfing the world and mankind, even though among those times are pious people, whether in an Islamic country or groups. Muslims are encouraged to follow the Shari'a when an epidemic strikes a country, namely: 1) not entering a country affected by disaster; 2) close the container where the water is; 3) pray a lot and recite; and 4) living in the city of Medina; stay indoors. Finally, the effects of the plague at the end of time are: 1) the number of sudden deaths; and 2) humans are isolated.

The City

There is scarcely a district in the world endowed with such singular beauty, and possessing such deep points of interest, as that extending about ten or twelve miles westward from Naples. A sky of such brilliancy as only Italy can shew; a sea of colours like the transparent hues of the sapphire and emerald; mountains on land and mountainous islands rising from the sea twice and thrice the height of those in Wales, and crowned with snow for a third of the year. The air of extraordinary clearness and purity, and redolent with the odours of the myrtle, orange, and citron. The earth covered with rich crops of maize, the vine hanging in a cordage of festoons from tree to tree, huge groves of figs and olives twisted in every fantastic form, and interspersed with the feathery palm, forests of pine, leccio, and cypress, all form a scene of beauty difficult to describe. But how is the interest heightened when we reflect on the history of the spot! We are in the scene so exquisitely described by Virgil in the Æneid. Here are the Isles of the Sirens and of Circe, the Tomb of Misenus, the Grotto of the Sibyl, the mysterious River Cocytus, the Lake Avernus, and the Elysian Fields. Here, too, the great poet is supposed to have been interred. The heights are crowned with the remains of sumptuous villas, where Caesar, Crassus, Pompey, Lucullus, and Augustus feasted, and where Cicero penned his best philosophical works.

The article focuses on the novels «Tomorrow The Cats» (2016) and «Her Majesty the Cat» (2019) by French author B. Werber, in which the author presents one of his options for the future interaction of a man with an animal, where the latter is depicted outside the traditional perception of a man. The work explores the writer’s vision of future relationships between species and the conditional symbiosis of animals and people in order to save both. The study examines cyborg-animals that strive to change the world order. The writer in the novels presents a new level of human interaction with another (laboratory animal, cyborg animal) and calls for revision of the generally accepted human perception of animals. A man must abandon traditional highness and consider ways to stop environmental problems, among which are the extinction of rare species of animals. The author tries to warn a person, therefore describes a number of situations in which a man appears to be cruel to the world around, and to protect a future man from results of her own actions. Against the background of the war, the author depicts the problem of human interaction with the outside world, in which the threat to everything alive is not only looting, plague, but also the invasion of rats who seek to dominate the city. For general salvation, animals unite with people, which makes it possible for the writer to interpret the image of an animal as a species close to humans. B. Werber says that the mission of people on earth is changing, they should worry not only about their species, but also about the world around and notes «The Earth is laid to the same extent to all forms of life, animals or plants that inhabit it. And no species objectively has the right to proclaim itself "higher than others"».

In the article the author analyzes the phenomenon of Russian cosmism and shows its difference from other possible varieties of cosmism. The author understands Russian cosmism as the idea of extending the definition of the universe by the human beings. A human being doesn’t simply have his place in history, on the Earth and in space, but also broadens it by means of his material and spiritual actions. The idea of the world broadening was popular among Russian naturalists in the 19th and the 20th centuries. The most prominent figures among the Russian cosmism followers were N.F. Fedorov and K. E. Tsiolkovsky. The author distinguishes three directions in the history of Russian cosmism – religious, natural-scientific and artistic-poetical. According to the author, only after Gagarin’s space flight the idea of Russian Icaria transferred itself into Russian cosmism. The article studies the sources of Russian cosmism and explains the meaning of anthropocosmism. The author arrives at the conclusion that Russian cosmism offers its own approach to solving modern global problems that differs from the ideas in the reports to the Roman club.

Oedipus At Colonus

Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus, it would seem, is an exercise in closure. In the opening scene, Oedipus, worn down by years of wandering blind and hungry, arrives at the borders of Athens. Here is where his legendary sufferings—his murder of his father, his incestuous marriage to his mother, his betrayal by his sons, his exile from Thebes—are fated to end. Following his miraculous death, his body will become a sacred gift to the city that receives him, protecting it against future attack. In the closing moments of the play, everything unfolds according to plan. Oedipus disappears offstage and mysteriously descends into the earth. The king of Athens, Theseus, alone marks the spot of his disappearance, knowledge he will pass down to his sons as part of his responsibility to the city. By the end of the tragedy, then, Oedipus has made his way home to the gods in a land capable of honouring his awesome, singular fate.The concept of ‘coming home’ is integral, as this précis suggests, to the play's logic of closure. Yet, crucially, it governs only one of the two planes on which the drama unfolds, that of the gods. Oedipus' life has been in the hands of the gods since before he was born. That they reclaim him at the end of his life gives his exit the feel of a return. By contrast, the path to Athens, for all its meandering, is not circular but linear. Athens is definitively not Thebes, as the tragedy demonstrates over and over (nor is it Corinth, Oedipus' other point of origin). Thebes is, rather, the home that Oedipus rejects, most spectacularly through his resistance to Creon's demand that he return to the city of his birth. What is more, he repudiates any relationship to the Theban throne. When Polyneices arrives to ask his father to support his bid to reclaim the kingship from his brother Eteocles, Oedipus does not simply refuse to intervene but drives his son away with curses. His refusal is a refusal not just of Thebes but of the Labdacid line altogether (he goes so far as to call Polyneices ἀπάτωϱ, ‘fatherless’, 1383; see also 1369: ὑμεῖς δ' ἀπ' ἄλλον ϰοὐϰ ἐμοῦ πεϕύϰατον, ‘you are from another and not born from me’); his pact with Theseus creates an alternate genealogy of fathers and sons. Seen in this light, Oedipus' arrival at Colonus and, ultimately, his dramatic exit become the final stages of a process not of coming home but of leaving Thebes behind and with it ‘the radical tragic terrain where there can be no escape from the tragic in the resolution of conflict or in the institutional provision of a civic future beyond the world of the play’.

In the 1860s Walt Whitman described New York as a “city of spires and masts” with “the flags of all nations … duly lowered at sunset.” To this celebrator or urban life New York was a “city of the world! For all races are here; all the lands of the earth make contributions here.” The cosmopolitan character of New York was especially reflected in the city's Roman Catholic community. In the words of John Hughes, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York at mid-century, his “people were composed of representatives from almost all nations.” There were Italian and French Catholics, German and Irish Catholics as well as white and black American-born Catholics. And if one looked long enough, he would come across Catholic merchants from Spain and Catholic chefs from Switzerland. But within this polyglot community the two most significant ethnic groups in ante-bellum New York were the Irish and German immigrants.

Bulqiza District is the largest chromium source, ranked fourth in the world for chrome reserves. It lays in the north-eastern part of Albania, 330-1800 m a.s.l, with 728 km² area, between 41o30’43.1N and 20o14’56.21E. There are 136 entities with chromium extraction activity and around the city of Bulqiza (2.6 km² and 13000 inhabitants), there are 33 entities. The aim of the study was the identification of the environmental state and environmental impact assessment of chromium extraction (chromite mining) and giving recommendations to minimize the negative effects of this activity. Field observations, questionnaires, chemical analysis of soil and water, meetings and interviews with central and local institutions as well as with residents were used for the realization of the study. The obtained results showed that chromium extraction causes numerous irreversible degradation of the environment in the Bulqiza area, such as the destruction of surface land layers and erosion, destruction of flora and fauna, soil and water pollution, health problems, unsustainable use and reduction of chromium reserves, etc. The inert waste that emerges after the chromium partition is discharged to the earth surface without any regularity, covering the surface of the soil and flora, leading to irreversible degradation of the environment. Most of the mining entities do not respect the contracts and environmental permit issued by the Ministry of Energy and Industry (MEI).

The city is one of important aspects of the earth. The universe has been created with various kinds of creature. However, to be able to survive, there are two important things to do: a) surviving to compete, and b) surviving to live. The human being becomes the subject for any building plans for nation advancement. On the other side, the environ- ment which becomes the object of building plans is frequently ignored. It should not happen as al-Qur'an states that the universe is created for human's benefits based on its Standard and function. When the universe does not function as its standard, there will be a disaster. For that reason, building infrastructure in the city should consider the surroundings, and does not make the nature as the place of throwing away. The building process which synergies with al-Qur'an aims to make people aware and change their behavior for the safety of the universe. In al-Qur'an, it is stated that if the human is not back to his/her 'fitrah' will disappear because of any damages created by human himself.

A extração mineral do amianto é a principal fonte econômica, do município de Minaçu, localizado na região norte do estado de Goiás, que desde a sua criação desenvolveu-se em função da Mina Cana Brava. Atualmente, em decorrência da declaração de inconstitucionalidade do artigo 2º da Lei federal 9.055/1995 que permitia a extração, a industrialização, a comercialização e a distribuição do amianto na variedade crisotila no país, decisão de 29 de novembro de 2017 pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, o município vive em ambiente de incertezas quanto ao futuro. O objetivo deste artigo é promover uma reflexão sobre a dependência econômica do município e do seu posicionamento, ao lado da mineradora SAMA, do “uso controlado do amianto”, deixando evidente que os argumentos econômicos e mercadológicos prevalecerão, diante do desenvolvimento de diversos estudos científicos em várias partes do mundo que demonstram os males à saúde humana. Abstract THE EARTH-FLAX AND ITS IMPACTS IN THE CITY OF MINAÇU The mineral extraction of Earth-flax is the main economic source of the city of Minaçu, located in the north of the State of Goiás, since its foundation has developed thanks to the Cana Brava mine. Nowadays, the city is uncertain about the future, due to the declaration of unconstitutionality of the Second article of the federal law 9.055/1995 which permitted the extraction, industrialization, commercialization and the distribution of earth-flax in the variety chrysotile in the country, decision dated of the day 29, November of 2017 from the Federal Court of Justice. This article objective to promote the discussion about the economic dependence of the city and it positioning, facing to the mining SAMA, defending “the controlled use of Earth-flax”, making clear that the economic and market reasons are more important, face to the development of multiple scientific studies in different places around the world showing the malfunctions to the human health.
