By appropriating Graciliano Ramos’s text Memórias do cárcere (1953),film director Nelson Pereira dos Santos makes use of a filmic transcreation (1983) tocontextualize and reconfigure (both socially and culturally) the status of the narrator asmemoirist in literature. As he blurs any attempt at a clear-cut hierarchization of thetextualities involved, the cinematographic author promotes the resonance of twodifferent periods in 20th century Brazilian history: Vargas’s dictatorship (1930-1945),as lived by Graciliano Ramos himself, and that of the military régime post-1964. Aninterpretation of both works, considered here as being founded upon the transversaltheme of the need to reformulate the past, a result of the condensation of historical timein the present which gives shape to both narratives, may be especially meaningful in thesense that it bears witness to art’s capability to shed light upon human contingence inhistorically dark times.

Chinese time adverbs describe status of behavior, modal frequency, or that the behavior has occurred, occurred in the past, present or future. When describe a time, it usually emphasizes the meaning. Indonesian time adverbs describe an event or action occurred at a time. It indicates the status of behavior, modal or indicates whether the conduct has occurred, has not happened, will happen, repeat and describe the act or thing is not yet completed. This study attempts to shed light on why students incline to make mistake in using Chinese time adverbs. Furthermore, students face difficulty in differentiating between Chinese and Indonesian time adverbs. Chinese Indonesia have the similar meaning of time adverb, such as: gang, yijing, cengjing, zhengzai, jiang, hai, mashang but function in a sentence not exactly same.

The paper also shed light on how abruptly military managed to gain superior position in the politics of the country. The immaturity that demonstrated by political setup is also the concern of this endeavor. Qualitative approach has been adopted to satisfy the puzzling queries pointed out above.

Resumo: Este artigo discute e busca compreender a literatura de testemunho como fonte histórica importante para o entendimento da ditadura civil-militar e do processo de redemocratização no Brasil, por meio da obra do Frei Carlos Alberto Libânio Christo, o Frei Betto, intitulada Batismo de Sangue e publicada em 1982. Entende-se que as produções testemunhais de sobreviventes de grandes catástrofes não são reflexos da realidade, mas produtos históricos de uma sociedade específica e de agentes discursivos que interferem no próprio processo histórico, como o gênero testemunhal. A adoção de perspectivas e linguagens diferenciadas sobre a leitura do passado, o possível choque de conteúdos e interpretações entre a memória coletiva de militância de grupos distintos e a construção da memória relativa à participação de setores da Igreja Católica na resistência armada ao regime militar são preocupações abordadas neste texto. Palavras chave: Batismo de Sangue – ditadura – literatura - testemunho – dominicanos   Abstract: This article discusses and seeks the comprehension of witness testimony as an important historical source to understand the civil-militar dictatorship and the process of democratization of Brazil, through the literary work of the priest Carlos Alberto Libânio Christo, Frei Betto, called Batismo de Sangue, published in 1982. It is understood that the testimonial productions of survivors of great catastrophes, aren’t the reflexes of reality, but the historical products of a specific society and of discursive agents that interfere in the historical process itself, as a testimonial gender. The choice of perspectives and different languages about the analysis of the past, the possible shock of interpretations and contents between the collective memory of militancy of different groups and the construction of relative memory to the participation of sectors of the Catholic Church in the armed resistence to the military regime are some of the concerns addressed in this article.

The essay aims to exam corporate complicity with authoritarian regimes of the past and contemporary practices for the purposes of developing the body of corporate criminology. The opening of Brazilian criminological research to the role of companies during the military regime shines new lights on corporate accountability and may, when investigating the corporate complicity with authoritarian dynamics, also open new avenues for the transitional justice studies. Especially with regard to the idea of Corporate Transitional Justice, it assumes the need for broader debates about the historical continuum and different forms of business contributions and aspects of harming and victimizing in the corporate field.

<p>After the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz —then Minister of Economy under<br />the Military Dictatorship— promoted an initiative to publish an article in Time Magazine in which “a real image of Argentina would be given” —in the words of businessman Carlos Pedro Blaquier, strongly close to the military regime—. But who defines the extent of reality of an image? Who makes these “real images” and how do they articulate within the construction of national history and identity? Along this article, and departing from the construction of the past in Argentina through the “real images” produced within the economic and artistic institutions, we will examine the image-based counternarratives propounded by Eduardo Molinari through his Walking Archive and the collaborative project Hegemony. These two contemporary artistic projects focus mainly on the last decades of the 20th century in order to give visibility to the existent relations among economic groups, the military, politicians and the cultural system in Argentina. These relations have provided legitimacy to certain processes of construction of “real” narratives and also to certain artistic practices, while rejecting others.</p>

This essay deals with the Slovene reaction to the military intervention of eight coalition forces in China during the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900. To Slovenes, China was then seen as a faraway land that had been visited by some Slovene missionaries, noblemen and travellers throughout the past centuries. Nevertheless, much interest was expressed by the Slovene public and press in the events surrounding the Boxer Rebellion. Despite the fact that the Austro-Hungarian military was part of the international coalition that intervened in Chinese internal affairs, the leading Slovene newspapers of the period supported the right of the Chinese people to defend their country against the big powers of the time, who tried to dismember China and enforce the regime of capitulation.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:The present study considers the status of the Pacific Coast Athabaskan languages, both in relation to each other and in relation to the rest of the family, by applying computational approaches to phylogenetic inference adapted from the biological sciences that have invigorated historical linguistic research over the past decade. These methods have shed light on previously intractable problems, and in some cases sparked new controversies, in language families as diverse as Indo-European (Gray and Atkinson 2003; Atkinson and Gray 2006; Nakhleh et al. 2005; Bouckaert et al. 2012), Bantu (Holden and Gray 2006, Marten 2006), Austronesian (Bryant 2006, Dunn et al. 2008), and Pama-Nyungan (Bowern and Atkinson 2012).

It is not too soon for some firm judgments to be made regarding what has just transpired in Chile. We can consider not only some of the more important current causes for the bloody coup but some contributing events from the past. Some rough idea as to what we can expect from the present military regime—that is, the military dictatorship— will emerge from the examination.How ironic that we use that ugly word “dictatorship“ to describe an institution that but a few weeks ago was winning praises as a model of an armed service that, recognized the doctrine of civilian supremacy, the chain of command, and was in itself— ostensibly to the end of the Allende Administration— the architrave of Chilean constitutionalism.
