Leia o trecho do livro Abolição, da historiadora brasileira Emília Viotti da Costa.


    Durante três séculos (do século XVI ao XVIII) a escravidão foi praticada e aceita sem que as classes dominantes questionassem a legitimidade do cativeiro. Muitos chegavam a justificar a escravidão, argumentando que graças a ela os negros eram retirados da ignorância em que viviam e convertidos ao cristianismo. A conversão libertava os negros do pecado e lhes abria a porta da salvação eterna. Dessa forma, a escravidão podia até ser considerada um benefício para o negro! Para nós, esses argumentos podem parecer cínicos, mas, naquela época, tinham poder de persuasão. A ordem social era considerada expressão dos desígnios da Providência Divina e, portanto, não era questionada. Acreditava-se que era a vontade de Deus que alguns nascessem nobres, outros, vilões, uns, ricos, outros, pobres, uns, livres, outros, escravos. De acordo com essa teoria, não cabia aos homens modificar a ordem social. Assim, justificada pela religião e sancionada pela Igreja e pelo Estado – representantes de Deus na Terra –, a escravidão não era questionada. A Igreja limitava-se a recomendar paciência aos escravos e benevolência aos senhores.

    Não é difícil imaginar os efeitos dessas ideias. Elas permitiam às classes dominantes escravizar os negros sem problemas de consciência. Os poucos indivíduos que no Período Colonial, fugindo à regra, questionaram o tráfico de escravos e lançaram dúvidas sobre a legitimidade da escravidão, foram expulsos da Colônia e o tráfico de escravos continuou sem impedimentos. Apenas os próprios escravos questionavam a legitimidade da instituição, manifestando seu protesto por meio de fugas e insurreições. Encontravam, no entanto, pouca simpatia por parte dos homens livres e enfrentavam violenta repressão.

O uso intensivo da metáfora insólita, a entrega ao fluxo da consciência, a ruptura com o enredo factual foram constantes do seu estilo de narrar. Os analistas à caça de estruturas não deixarão tão cedo em paz seus textos complexos e abstratos. Há na gênese dos seus contos e romances tal exacerbação do momento interior que, a certa altura do seu itinerário, a própria subjetividade entra em crise. O espírito, perdido no labirinto da memória e da autoanálise, reclama um novo equilíbrio.

Q944468 Português

Leia um trecho do artigo “Reflexões sobre o tempo e a origem do Universo”, do físico brasileiro Marcelo Gleiser.


  Qualquer discussão sobre o tempo deve começar com uma análise de sua estrutura, que, por falta de melhor expressão, devemos chamar de “temporal”. É comum dividirmos o tempo em passado, presente e futuro. O passado é o que vem antes do presente e o futuro é o que vem depois. Já o presente é o “agora”, o instante atual.

  Isso tudo parece bastante óbvio, mas não é. Para definirmos passado e futuro, precisamos definir o presente. Mas, segundo nossa separação estrutural, o presente não pode ter duração no tempo, pois nesse caso poderíamos definir um período no seu passado e no seu futuro. Portanto, para sermos coerentes em nossas definições, o presente não pode ter duração no tempo. Ou seja, o presente não existe!

  A discussão acima nos leva a outra questão, a da origem do tempo. Se o tempo teve uma origem, então existiu um momento no passado em que ele passou a existir. Segundo nossas modernas teorias cosmogônicas, que visam explicar a origem do Universo, esse momento especial é o momento da origem do Universo “clássico”. A expressão “clássico” é usada em contraste com “quântico”, a área da física que lida com fenômenos atômicos e subatômicos.

   [...]

  As descobertas de Einstein mudaram profundamente nossa concepção do tempo. Em sua teoria da relatividade geral, ele mostrou que a presença de massa (ou de energia) também influencia a passagem do tempo, embora esse efeito seja irrelevante em nosso dia a dia. O tempo relativístico adquire uma plasticidade definida pela realidade física à sua volta. A coisa se complica quando usamos a relatividade geral para descrever a origem do Universo.

(Folha de S.Paulo, 07.06.1998.)

“Mas, segundo nossa separação estrutural, o presente não pode ter duração no tempo, pois nesse caso poderíamos definir um período no seu passado e no seu futuro.” (2o parágrafo)

Q944472 Português
  Tal vanguarda rompeu radicalmente com a ideia de arte como imitação da natureza, prevalecente na pintura europeia desde a Renascença. Seus principais adeptos abandonaram as noções tradicionais de perspectiva, tentando representar solidez e volume numa superfície bidimensional, sem converter pela ilusão a tela plana num espaço pictórico tridimensional. Múltiplos aspectos do objeto eram figurados simultaneamente; as formas visíveis eram analisadas e transformadas em planos geométricos, que eram recompostos segundo vários pontos de vista simultâneos. Tal vanguarda era e dizia ser realista, mas tratava-se de um realismo conceitual, e não óptico.

Mobile milestones: how your phone
became an essential part of your life





    Has any device changed our lives as much, and as quickly, as the mobile phone? There are people today for whom the world of address books, street atlases and phone boxes seems very far away, lost in the mists of time. Following, there are just some of the big milestones from the past 30 years that have made almost everything we do easier, more public and very, very fast.
• The first phones arrive – and become status symbols Few people got the chance to use the very early mobile phones. The first call was made in New York in 1973, but handsets with a network to use were not available until 1983 in the US, and 1985 in the UK. That first British mobile phone was essentially a heavy briefcase with a receiver attached by a wire. It cost £2,000 (£5,000 in today’s prices), and gave you half an hour’s chat on an overnight charge. Making a call was not something you could do subtly, but that wasn’t the point; the first handsets were there to be seen. They sent a message that you were bold and confident with new technology, that you were busy and important enough to need a mobile phone, and were rich enough to buy one.
• Text messages spawn a whole new language
    The first mobiles worked with analogue signals and could only make phone calls, but the digital ones that followed in the early 1990s could send SMS messages as well. After the first message was sent on 3 December 1992, texting took off like a rocket, even though it was still a pretty cumbersome procedure. Handsets with predictive text would make things easier, but in the 1990s you could save a lot of time by removing all excess letters from a message, often the vowels, and so txtspk ws brn. Today the average mobile phone sends more than 100 texts per month.
• Phones turn us all into photographers...
    There seemed to be no good reason for the first camera phones, which began to appear in 2002, with resolutions of about 0.3 megapixels. They took grainy, blurry pictures on postage stamp-sized screens, and even these filled the phone’s memory in no time. Gradually, though, as the quality improved, the uses followed. As well as the usual photos of friends and family, they were handy for “saving” pieces of paper, and in pubs you could take a picture of the specials board and take it back to your table. Modern camera phones have changed beyond recognition in the past 20 years. The new mobile phones boast the highest resolution dual camera on a smartphone: a 16-megapixel camera and a 20-megapixel camera side-by-side. The dual camera allows users to focus on their subjects, while blurring out the background, producing professional-looking portraits.
• …and we turn ourselves into celebrities
    Twenty years ago people would have thought you a little strange if you took flattering photos of yourself and your lifestyle and then distributed them to your friends – let alone to members of the public. If you used printed photographs rather than a smartphone app, they would still think so today. Yet sharing our lives on social media is now the norm, not the exception – and it was the camera phone that made it all possible. Now, some phones come with an enormous 64GB of memory, so you can capture, share and store an almost countless number of videos and pictures – well, certainly enough to keep up with the Kardashians.

    Twenty years ago people would have thought you a little strange if you took flattering photos of yourself and your lifestyle and then distributed them to your friends – let alone to members of the public. If you used printed photographs rather than a smartphone app, they would still think so today. Yet sharing our lives on social media is now the norm, not the exception – and it was the camera phone that made it all possible. Now, some phones come with an enormous 64GB of memory, so you can capture, share and store an almost countless number of videos and pictures – well, certainly enough to keep up with the Kardashians.

Mobile milestones: how your phone
became an essential part of your life





    Has any device changed our lives as much, and as quickly, as the mobile phone? There are people today for whom the world of address books, street atlases and phone boxes seems very far away, lost in the mists of time. Following, there are just some of the big milestones from the past 30 years that have made almost everything we do easier, more public and very, very fast.
• The first phones arrive – and become status symbols Few people got the chance to use the very early mobile phones. The first call was made in New York in 1973, but handsets with a network to use were not available until 1983 in the US, and 1985 in the UK. That first British mobile phone was essentially a heavy briefcase with a receiver attached by a wire. It cost £2,000 (£5,000 in today’s prices), and gave you half an hour’s chat on an overnight charge. Making a call was not something you could do subtly, but that wasn’t the point; the first handsets were there to be seen. They sent a message that you were bold and confident with new technology, that you were busy and important enough to need a mobile phone, and were rich enough to buy one.
• Text messages spawn a whole new language
    The first mobiles worked with analogue signals and could only make phone calls, but the digital ones that followed in the early 1990s could send SMS messages as well. After the first message was sent on 3 December 1992, texting took off like a rocket, even though it was still a pretty cumbersome procedure. Handsets with predictive text would make things easier, but in the 1990s you could save a lot of time by removing all excess letters from a message, often the vowels, and so txtspk ws brn. Today the average mobile phone sends more than 100 texts per month.
• Phones turn us all into photographers...
    There seemed to be no good reason for the first camera phones, which began to appear in 2002, with resolutions of about 0.3 megapixels. They took grainy, blurry pictures on postage stamp-sized screens, and even these filled the phone’s memory in no time. Gradually, though, as the quality improved, the uses followed. As well as the usual photos of friends and family, they were handy for “saving” pieces of paper, and in pubs you could take a picture of the specials board and take it back to your table. Modern camera phones have changed beyond recognition in the past 20 years. The new mobile phones boast the highest resolution dual camera on a smartphone: a 16-megapixel camera and a 20-megapixel camera side-by-side. The dual camera allows users to focus on their subjects, while blurring out the background, producing professional-looking portraits.
