Walter Benjamin noticed an anticipation of Charles Baudelaire that gets the modern attributes. In the article, the anticipation is analyzed as a part of the existential presence of a poet. By this way the poet can resist the fate and he has a feeling of future. Baudelaire’s literature career and his lifestyle are an embodiment of it. It is the main tool to stand with a faith. From one hand, his works have no similarity with others poets, in their loneliness, flânerie, and manners, from the other hand in their personal embodiment.

Movie Star

When Walter Benjamin wrote this sentence in the 1930s, he had in mind both the new directions of the press, which was opening more and more spaces in which its readers could write, and the new films and newsreels, where “any man today can lay claim to being filmed” (“Work of Art,” 233) and where, rather than actors, “people … portray themselves” (234; emphasis Benjamin's). Benjamin's attitude toward this collapse of the distinction between author and public was ambivalent. Phrases such as “the phony spell of a commodity” (233), to describe the cult of the movie star, suggest his nostalgia for a time when the aura of the “original” work of art had not yet begun to decay. On the other hand, his idea that “mechanical reproduction emancipates the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual” (226) pointed enthusiastically to the new technologies as part of a liberationist meta-narrative.

The Way

This text underlines the way in which, for Georges Didi-Huberman, topics including matter, symptom and memory become primordial to the thinking of images. But as Didi-Huberman proceeds, the course that leads him to highlight such topics first addresses other topics that, inphilosophy and iconography, sought to deny such readings, namely: image as form and its correlative meanings, that is, image as symbol and image as visibility. Didi-Huberman, however, argues that the notion of form may no longer be merely opposed to that of matter, nor be considered as solely idealistic. If, on the one hand, Didi-Huberman presents the insufficiency of the deconstruction of the notion of form presented by Jacques Derrida, on the other hand, the displacements of the notion of form proposed specially in Ce que nous voyons ce qui nous regardepoint to an approximation to deconstruction, mostly to the themes of trace, index and “the belows” (les dessous) of images. In addition, passages of this and other works of Didi-Huberman may insinuate a connection between the notions of trace and aura, which refer to convergences concerning the deconstruction of the visible and the dialectical image. This text seeks to reconstruct such directions from writings of Didi-Huberman and, in this way, restores other writings that border on them: specially from Jacques Derrida and Walter Benjamin.

AbstractWe study lens space surgeries along two different families of 2-component links, denoted by${A}_{m, n} $and${B}_{p, q} $, related with the rational homology$4$-ball used in J. Park’s (generalized) rational blow down. We determine which coefficient$r$of the knotted component of the link yields a lens space by Dehn surgery. The link${A}_{m, n} $yields a lens space only by the known surgery with$r= mn$and unexpectedly with$r= 7$for$(m, n)= (2, 3)$. On the other hand,${B}_{p, q} $yields a lens space by infinitely many$r$. Our main tool for the proof are the Reidemeister-Turaev torsions, that is, Reidemeister torsions with combinatorial Euler structures. Our results can be extended to the links whose Alexander polynomials are same as those of${A}_{m, n} $and${B}_{p, q} $.

The Moment

The words of modern narrators help bring to surface the contradictions and conflicts typical of the metropolis, transforming it into a sort of cultural instrument that reads the different languages, images and forms of life that it is defined by. The crisis of perception of space and time, the difficulty of using a language that is able to give meaning, the shattering of personal identity, all make it hard to accumulate experiences and transform them into stories to pass on. The only way to start a relationship with the other and with the world is, as Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin state, the moment of choc, the moment lived and that cannot be transmitted. The urgency is to not become a prisoner of the nostalgia for the past, but to make the irreparable oppositions that affect the metropolis productive.

Human Need

The scope of this text is to think about how the human need for shelter began to appear as a foundational allegory for the discipline of architecture in the early modern age (XVIII - XIX), particularly in Laugier’s “Primitive Hut” of 1753 and Ledoux’s “L’Abri du Pauvre” of 1804. At roughly the same periods as these architects were investing the discipline with a new existential calling, new European visions of society, its organization and constraints were exploding the imaginary and concrete limits of the European polity which, at the time, was a planetary polity. Between Rousseau’s social contract, Kant’s Republic, Hegel’s “state,” among many other visions spanning from 1753 to 1804, Europe’s subjects, government and power, and their respective relationships, were structurally changed. Assembled in the same picture, these allegories and visions give us many possibilities of reflection about architecture’s new position and role within the political in the modern age. On the other hand, it may help us reflect on what architecture articulates in the outbreak of new social contexts. Heeding Walter Benjamin, we propose to take control of these memories, disparate and synchronic as they might “really have been,” to ask in a moment of danger: why doesn’t architecture shelter today? How can we read that foundational calling today?

This article aims at reflecting on the political significance of distinct conceptions of temporality and their symbolic representation in the work of Walter Benjamin. In particular, the “clock” and the “calendar” will be addressed as symbols of, respectively, a linear and homogeneous conception of time and of a cyclical, uneven – and potentially revolutionary – temporality. The conception of time symbolized by clocks is criticized by Benjamin as a bourgeois understanding of progress, which inhibits revolutionary tensions in society by shifting the political focus on future, on the inevitability of progress and growth; on the other hand, calendars’ and ancient cyclical festivals’ temporality constantly looks at the past, celebrating and re-actualizing the memory of previous revolutionary attempts. In the last section, the article will consider the role of symbols and allegories in Benjamin’s philosophical writing, casting new light on the previous discussion.

RESUMO – O tratamento de sementes (TS) é a principal técnica empregada para o controle de Dichelops melacanthus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) em milho. Entretanto, acredita-se que a eficiência desta estratégia pode ser influenciada pelo tipo de solo no qual a lavoura é cultivada. Desse modo, este trabalho comparou a eficiência do TS dos inseticidas [tiametoxam e imidacloprido + tiodicarbe] em relação a duas testemunhas (com infestação e sem infestação) em quatro tipos de solo: Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico (LVdf); Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo arenoso (LVA arenoso); Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo argiloso (LVA argiloso) e Latossolo Vermelho distrófico (LVd). De forma geral, ambos os TS reduziram os danos da praga em todos os tipos de solo, quando comparados às plantas infestadas com D. melacanthus e sem TS. Por outro lado, o pior desempenho de ambos os TS foi observado no LVA arenoso, em que as plantas apresentaram menor comprimento de espiga e menor produtividade. Este estudo demonstrou que a eficiência do TS com tiametoxam, assim como imidacloprido + tiodicarbe, é afetada pelo tipo de solo. Desse modo, maiores cuidados devem ser tomados no cultivo de lavouras de milho em regiões com solos arenosos, e a adoção de estratégia complementar pode ser necessária.Palavras-chave: percevejo-barriga-verde, pragas do milho, pragas iniciais, neonicotinoides, adsorção de inseticidas.SEED CORN TREATMENT FOR Dichelops melacanthus CONTROL IN DIFFERENT SOIL TYPESABSTRACT - The seed treatment (ST) is the main tool used to control Dichelops melacanthus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in maize fields. However, the soil type in which the plants are developed probably influences the efficiency of this strategy. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of two insecticides (ST) [thiamethoxam (52.5 g.i.a); imidacloprid + thiodicarb (45 + 135) g.i.a] in relation to control (infested and non-infested plants) for D. melacanthus control in four types of soil: Dystroferric Red Latosol (DRL), sandy Red-Yellow Latosol (sandy RYL); clay Red-Yellow Latosol (clay RYL); and dystrophic Red Latosol (dystrophic RL). In general, ST reduced the pest damage in all soil types. In the other hand, the development plants in sandy RYL were hampered, showing a shorter length of ear and lower yield in both ST. This study showed that the ST performance with thiamethoxam and imidacloprid + thiodicarb is affected by the soil type. In this sense, maize fields cultivated in sand soils requires a careful management, and complementary strategies can be necessary.Keywords: green-belly stinkbug, maize pests, initial pests, neonicotinoides, insecticide adorsoption.

Shock Experience

Charles Baudelaire employs the notion of flaneur as an idle wanderer and a passionate observer of the city life in the context of nineteenth-century Paris. Walter Benjamin in the twentieth century revisits the same notion in a slightly different manner. For Benjamin, flaneur, on the one hand, can be overwhelmed by the phantasmagoria of the city life and can develop a ‘shock experience' and on the other hand, can respond to the stimuli of the urban ambiance and can exhibit instrumental means of thinking to cope with the altered environment. In this circumstance, the latter, as Benjamin argues, is also evocative of the prospect of the flaneur’s conversion into a commodity. Following the argument of Walter Benjamin, the present paper aims to analyze the mobility and transformation of the central character, Christopher, in Julian Barnes’s novel Metroland (1980). This paper also reinforces that the character’s transformation is influenced by the societal structures as propounded by the structural Marxists like  Louis Althusser.

The One

The article compares J.W. Goethe’s “Marienbad Elegy” (1823) and a poetic text with the same title written in 1999 by W.G. Sebald. “Marienbad Elegy” by Goethe is a precedent text of German culture, its historical and literary authority being additionally supported by the popular biographical myth of the love of the 73-year-old poet to the 19-year-old Ulrike von Levetzow. On the one hand, Sebald’s own “Marienbad Elegy” is an attempt to decanonize the classical text by updating its references (restoration of the biographical context associated with the aging Goethe in Marienbad, his acquaintance with the von Levetzow’ family, and actualization of the realities of the spa town and the “museum” objects related to the occurrence of the Goethean text) and by consistently reducing the elegiac pathos of the original. On the other hand, as this article demonstrates, Sebald puts in place of Goethe’s elegiac tune his own — melancholic — pathos inherited from a philosopher of the Frankfurt school Walter Benjamin whom he greatly appreciated.

Sudden Rise

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.
