Looks at the writing of the narratives, bringing together elements shared to Blanchot’s various publications in this format around the turn of the 1940s/50s. We learn of a relative slowing in his literary-critical production, as his life fell under the sign of ‘the essential solitude.’ The thinking underpinning these and later works is shown to undergo significant elaboration.

A partir da análise dos romances de Ricardo Lísias e da sua produção autocrítica, este trabalho busca entender algumas relações entre a literatura de autoficção e a publicização do sujeito autor imerso no universo midiático. Partindo de uma revisão bibliográfica que conceitua os objetos aqui circunscritos e de uma apreciação anterior sobre a produção literária de jovens escritores brasileiros selecionados pela revista Granta em 2012, estreitamos nossa focalização no movimento do romancista em direção à escrita de si e à autorreferência. Nesse sentido, analisamos e contextualizamos a modalidade de escritura denominada autoficção, especialmente no que tange às aproximações entre as instâncias do narrador e do autor e entre biografemas e ficção (FIGUEIREDO, 2013; KLINGER, 2012), e evocamos estudos da Sociologia e da Comunicação de modo a caracterizar a sociedade da qual emerge o corpus deste estudo (LIPOVESTKY, 2004; SANTAELLA, 2012). A partir desse contexto, investigamos as obras literárias – O céu dos suicidas (2012), Divórcio (2013) e Delegado Tobias (2014) – e as narrativas midiáticas de Ricardo Lísias e identificamos nelas estratégias da publicidade.********************************************************************The novel by Ricardo Lísias: wide open windows to the subject hypermodernAbstract: Through the analysis of the novels of Ricardo Lísias and its self-critical production, this work intends to understand some relationships between the self-fiction literature and the popularization of the subject author immersed in the media universe. Starting from a literature review that conceptualizes the objects herein bounded and an earlier assessment of the literary production of young Brazilian writers selected by Granta magazine in 2012, we strengthened  ur focus on the novelist's movement toward the writing itself  nd self-reference. Pursuing this aim, we analyzed and contextualized the form of writing named autofiction, especially with regard to the similarities between instances of the narrator and the author and between biographema and fiction (FIGUEIREDO, 2013; KLINGER, 2012). We also evoked Sociology and Media Studies to characterize the society of which emerges the corpus of this study (LIPOVESTKY, 2004; SANTAELLA, 2012). From these premises, we investigated the literary works – Céu dos suicidas (Heaven suicide, 2012), Divórcio (Divorce, 2013) and Delegado Tobias (Tobias, the police chief, 2014) – and the media narratives of Ricardo Lísias and finally we identified his advertising strategies.Keywords: Self-ficction; Contemporary literature; Hypermodernity; Ricardo Lísias

The paper presents data on the problems of monitoring and diagnosing the technical conditions of critical production facilities, such as torpedo ladle cars, steel ladles. The accidents with critical production facilities, such as torpedo ladle cars, lead to losses and different types of damages in the metallurgical industry. The paper substantiates the need for a mathematical study of the operation process of the noted critical production facilities. A Markovian graph has been built that describes the states of torpedo ladle cars during their operation. A mathematical model is presented that allows determining the optimal frequency of diagnostics of torpedo ladle cars, which, in contrast to the existing approaches, take into account the procedures for preventive diagnostics of torpedo ladle cars, without taking them out of service. Dependence of the utilization coefficient on the period of diagnostics of PM350t torpedo ladle cars was developed. The results (of determining the optimal period of diagnostics for PM350t torpedo ladle cars) are demonstrated. The system for automated monitoring and diagnosing the technical conditions of torpedo ladle cars, without taking them out of service, has been developed and described.

El presente artículo pretende proporcionar un contexto hermenéutico adecuado a la interpretación que Harold Bloom hizo de Don Quijote en un capítulo sobre Cervantes de The Western Canon (1994). La generalizada recepción negativa que este libro ha tenido en ámbito hispano, en gran medida debido a la denunciada (des)atención del crítico norteamericano hacia las literaturas hispanas, ha provocado una paralela (des)atención de la crítica hispana hacia un ensayo que, sin suponer una contribución decisiva al cervantismo filológico, constituye un valioso juicio implícito sobre el sentido de lo literario. De acuerdo con este juicio, la gran literatura o es violenta inscripción de autoridad o es melancólico duelo ante la defección de la violencia autorial, duelo que con frecuencia adopta la forma de venganza crítica en forma de arbitraje. El presente artículo pretende, pues, situar el ensayo sobre Cervantes en el contexto amplio de toda la producción crítica de Bloom. Dicha contextualización arroja luz tanto sobre la continuidad desconstructiva de la mirada crítica de Bloom como sobre la naturaleza irrenunciablemente anómala del texto cervantino. This article aims to provide an appropriate hermeneutic context to Harold Bloom's interpretation of Cervantes' ​​Don Quixote in a chapter of The Western Canon (1994). The widespread negative reception this book has had in the Hispanic scope, largely due to the reported (un)attention of the American critic to Hispanic literature, has led to a parallel (dis)attention of Hispanic criticism to an essay that, without being a decisive contribution to philological cervantism, provides a useful implicit judgment about the meaning of literature. According to this view, great literature is either violent inscription of authority, or melancholic clash at the defection of authorial violence, a duel that takes often the form of critical vengeance as arbitration. This article therefore aims to situate the essay on Cervantes in the broader context of all critical production by Bloom. Such contextualization sheds light on both deconstructive continuity of Bloom's critical gaze and the undeniably anomalous nature of Cervantes' text.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ask how forms of “performative” interventions can prompt processes of re-thinking, which can, in turn, instigate the critical production of public space. Most importantly, it also asks how this methodology can manifest within various cultural and political contexts. Today, public spaces tend to be controlled either by the state or by private corporations. Neoliberal policies promote commercial interests, which subsequently drives inequality and determines what can and cannot be accessed by the public. The public spaces that are currently present in the neoliberal cities are, in fact, “pseudo” public spaces. Design/methodology/approach In an attempt to form new understandings of this problem, the authors’ approach is rooted in feminist theories of performativity, which focus on how identities are persistently re-produced through performance. These theories consider how the “self” is always entangled within everyday life interactions and how it is shaped by both societal and bodily practices. Framing spaces as shapable, informed by the embodied dialectic relations between spaces and social relations, the study uses forms of performative methodology to create productive disruptions and “constructed situations” (Debord, 2012). This methodology consists of intervention within these spaces in order to produce alternative public space and forms of publicness. Based on research conducted at the Sheffield School of Architecture, as well as a four-day invited workshop at the Floating University Berlin, this study investigates applications of performative practice methodology in the cities of Amman and Berlin. Findings The paper will begin by exploring how the two cities are regulated through various political and planning policies that affect public spaces. This line of enquiry will also involve questioning physical, social and political access to public space in these contexts and analysing the various actants, performative actions and processes that were involved in producing performative interventions. Originality/value The paper will conclude by discussing the potential and limitations of applying and translating such approaches in public spaces within different cultural and political contexts. As such, the study proposes a new methodological framework for re-thinking and provoking the critical production of public space through forms of performative spatial practice.
