Industry and technology: is a Brazilian way out?

28 Apr

Sectors that held the plummet of our economy are maize with a growth of StartUp110% approximately, soybeans 46% and 13.4% cellulose growth recorded in the first quarter 2016 with the economy in decline and the brazilian political crisis still without solution yet.

 

While we see the Brazilian industry is reducing, with major industries out or closed doors, and only the agricultural sector holding on to ask if the high technology has something to say and can be a way to recover the industrial park?

Apparently yes, companies like WEG Santa Catarina, is one of the largest exporters of motor and electronics equipment in the world, and grew 24% last year amid an economic crisis (and political course) because it has a strong standing in exports, almost 55% of its revenue comes from abroad, and employ 31,000 people. Another of a smaller is the Bralyx machines working with confectionery equipment and production masses, has insertion in 50 countries and sales of U$ 12 million, half from abroad, but employs only 150 people.

 

High-tech sectors are promising and Brazil has manpower and a good education system in this regard, a system that helps the startup* in this sector would be important, although the basis of primary and secondary education needs reform.
* Startup – the name given to any innovative company at an early stage.

Machado de Assis and the Brazil roclamation of the Republic

29 Mar
In an attempt to unravel the Brazilian soul Darcy Ribeiro wroteMachadoAssisLiteraryLife “The Brazilian people”, and we can also quote (back to him) Sérgio Buarque de Holanda with his Roots of Brazil, could even enumerate other as the recent Martim da Cunha Vasques Dust Glory : one (unexpected) history of Brazilian literature.It is always deeper understand the “soul” of a people peering into their literature, not by chance Marx enjoyed reading Honoré de Balzac and Lenin Leon Tolstoi, among others of course, and not to be alone on the left, Roosevelt (that said read everything) I liked to read Walter Scott in addition to historical anthologies and Greek classics.

Machado de Assis (1839-1908) lived in the late period of the monarchy, Darcy Ribeiro was based on ethnic roots of the colonial period (1530 – 1815), but the historical evidence that says the philosopher Paul Ricoeur, the “I was there” is more fundamental than historiography.

We have already pointed the royalists and republicans elements of Esau and Jacob, and the political quietism in the work Memorial Aires.

Now we want to discover what is called apparent duplications in Quincas Borba, pseudo philosopher, the madness of the “ontology of abandonment” defined by Marta Senna in The Look oblique wizard, work also analyzed by Martim Vasques da Cunha.

But is the period of the proclamation (which is an edict not a popular will) of the Republic who is portrayed in Brás Cubas Epitaph, which breaks with romanticism even strong authors at the time as Flaubert and Zola, to picture a river of January with indifference, pessimism and irony, breaking with the linearity of both romantic literature as preceded the “modernism” to adopting a realistic tone.

Not coincidentally, the work began to be written from March to December 1880 in the Journal, and was later published as a book in 1881.

The work portrays slavery, social classes, scientism and positivism of the time, coming to create even a new philosophy, then developed in Quincas Borba (1891) already after the “proclamation” of the Republic (1889), Quincas Borba It came later in 1891 with a certain “philosophy” and then still Dom Casmurro (1899).

In english, K. David Jackson published “Machado de Assis: literary life”.
