Para José Bleger (autor da obra Temas de Psicologia - Entrevista e Grupos), "uma diferença fundamental entre entrevista e anamnese, no que diz respeito à teoria da personalidade e à teoria da técnica, reside em que, na anamnese, trabalha-se com a suposição de que o paciente conhece sua vida e está capacitado, portanto, para fornecer dados sobre a mesma, enquanto a hipótese da entrevista é que cada ser humano tem organizada uma história de sua vida e um esquema de seu presente, e desta história e deste esquema temos que deduzir o que

Subways

Posted on Friday March 27th, 2009 by Jebediah Reed
To give some sense of the pace of public works
construction in China, the city of Guangzhou is planning to open
83 miles of new subway lines by the end of next year.
Meanwhile, New York ? a city of about the same size ? has
been playing around with the 1.7-mile Second Avenue line for
decades now. China also builds subways rather cheaply ? $100
million per mile versus $ 2.4 billion per mile in the Big Apple.

Not surprisingly, projects there are more aggressive in all
respects: there are 60 tunnel boring machines operating in
Guangzhou, while only one is slated for the Second Avenue
project; workers put in five 12-hour shifts a week (and if they
don't like it, they can go pound glacial till); and seizing property
is a breeze.

An article in the Business section of today's NY Times
(Clash of Subways and Car Culture in Chinese Cities by Keith
Bradsher) [VERB] a smart look at the forces at play as China
goes on a transit infrastructure spending spree while it
simultaneously becomes evermore sprawling and car-centric.

Here's one interesting passage, [CONJUNCTION] the
story is worth reading in its entirety:

Western mass transit experts applaud China for investing
billions in systems that will put less stress on the environment
and on cities. But they warn that other Chinese policies, like
allowing real estate developers to build sprawling new suburbs,
undermine the benefits of the mass transit boom.

Mr. Chan Shao Zhang , a 67-year-old engineer in charge
of the works in Guangzhou, defended Guangzhou's combination
of cars and subways, saying that the city built a subway line to a new Toyota assembly plant to help employees and suppliers
reach it.

Subways have been most competitive in cities like New
York that have high prices for parking, and tolls for bridges and
tunnels, discouraging car use. Few Chinese cities have been
willing to follow suit, other than Shanghai, which charges a fee of
several thousand dollars for each license plate.

The cost and physical limitations of subways have
discouraged most cities from building new ones. For instance,
only Tokyo has a subway system that carries more people than
its buses. The buses are cheaper and able to serve far more
streets but move more slowly, pollute more and contribute to
traffic congestion.

China has reason to worry. It surpassed the United
States in total vehicle sales for the first time in January, although
the United States remained slightly ahead in car sales. But in
February, China overtook the United States in both, in part
because the global downturn has hurt auto sales much more in
the United States than in China.

There are many countervaling forces ..X.. China has
passed its own stimulus package and the government is eager
to put people to work, create economic activity, and build
modern infrastructure. The Guangzhou project is part of major
national transit buildout. But the nation's cities are also sprawling
beasts, and in that sense, more suited to cars than trains. Not
shockingly, many Chinese prefer the former.

Meanwhile, New York ? a city of about the same size ? has
been playing around with the 1.7-mile Second Avenue line for
decades now. China also builds subways rather cheaply ? $100
million per mile versus $ 2.4 billion per mile in the Big Apple.

Not surprisingly, projects there are more aggressive in all
respects: there are 60 tunnel boring machines operating in
Guangzhou, while only one is slated for the Second Avenue
project; workers put in five 12-hour shifts a week (and if they
don't like it, they can go pound glacial till); and seizing property
is a breeze.

An article in the Business section of today's NY Times
(Clash of Subways and Car Culture in Chinese Cities by Keith
Bradsher) [VERB] a smart look at the forces at play as China
goes on a transit infrastructure spending spree while it
simultaneously becomes evermore sprawling and car-centric.

Here's one interesting passage, [CONJUNCTION] the
story is worth reading in its entirety:

Western mass transit experts applaud China for investing
billions in systems that will put less stress on the environment
and on cities. But they warn that other Chinese policies, like
allowing real estate developers to build sprawling new suburbs,
undermine the benefits of the mass transit boom.

Mr. Chan Shao Zhang , a 67-year-old engineer in charge
of the works in Guangzhou, defended Guangzhou's combination
of cars and subways, saying that the city built a subway line to a new Toyota assembly plant to help employees and suppliers
reach it.

Subways have been most competitive in cities like New
York that have high prices for parking, and tolls for bridges and
tunnels, discouraging car use. Few Chinese cities have been
willing to follow suit, other than Shanghai, which charges a fee of
several thousand dollars for each license plate.

The cost and physical limitations of subways have
discouraged most cities from building new ones. For instance,
only Tokyo has a subway system that carries more people than
its buses. The buses are cheaper and able to serve far more
streets but move more slowly, pollute more and contribute to
traffic congestion.

China has reason to worry. It surpassed the United
States in total vehicle sales for the first time in January, although
the United States remained slightly ahead in car sales. But in
February, China overtook the United States in both, in part
because the global downturn has hurt auto sales much more in
the United States than in China.

There are many countervaling forces ..X.. China has
passed its own stimulus package and the government is eager
to put people to work, create economic activity, and build
modern infrastructure. The Guangzhou project is part of major
national transit buildout. But the nation's cities are also sprawling
beasts, and in that sense, more suited to cars than trains. Not
shockingly, many Chinese prefer the former.

Estradas e viajantes

A linguagem nossa de cada dia pode ser altamente
expressiva. Não sei até quando sobreviverão expressões, ditados,
fórmulas proverbiais, modos de dizer que atravessaram o
tempo falando as coisas de um jeito muito especial, gostoso,
sugestivo. Acabarão por cair todas em desuso numa época como
a nossa, cheia de pressa e sem nenhuma paciência, ou
apenas se renovarão?

Algumas expressões são tão fortes que resistem aos
séculos. Haverá alguma língua que não estabeleça formas de
comparação entre vida e viagem, vida e caminho, vida e estrada?
O grande Dante já começava a Divina Comédia com "No
meio do caminho de nossa vida...". Se a vida é uma viagem, a
grande viagem só pode ser... a morte, fim do nosso caminho.
"Ela partiu", "Ele se foi", dizemos. E assim vamos seguindo...

Quando menino, ouvia com estranheza a frase "Cuidado,
tem boi na linha". Como não havia linha de trem nem boi
por perto, e as pessoas olhavam disfarçadamente para mim, comecei
a desconfiar, mas sem compreender, que o boi era eu;
mas como assim? Mais tarde vim a entender a tradução completa
e prosaica: "suspendamos a conversa, porque há alguém
que não deve ouvi-la". Uma outra expressão pitoresca, que eu
já entendia, era "calça de pular brejo" ou "calça de atravessar
rio", no caso de pernas crescidas ou calças encolhidas, tudo
constatado antes de pegar algum caminho.

Já adulto, vim a dar com o termo "passagem", no
sentido fúnebre. "Passou desta para melhor". Situação difícil:
"estar numa encruzilhada". Fim de vida penoso? "Também, já
está subindo a ladeira dos oitenta..." São incontáveis os exemplos,
é uma retórica inteira dedicada a imagens como essas.
Obviamente, os poetas, especialistas em imagens, se encarregam
de multiplicá-las. "Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho",
queixou-se uma vez, e para sempre, o poeta Carlos Drummond
de Andrade, fornecendo-nos um símbolo essencial para todo e
qualquer obstáculo que um caminhante fatalmente enfrenta na
estrada da vida, neste mundo velho sem porteira...
