O presente artigo propõe pensar e discutir os desdobramentos contemporâneos da Literatura Comparada e dos Estudos Comparatistas através de uma abordagem diaspórica, ou seja, voltada para as experiências em trânsitos de autores e obras pelo espaço fluido do Atlântico. A partir dessas travessias oceânicas, o ensaio interroga os limites do paradigma nacional no estudo da literatura enquanto, ao mesmo tempo, pretende articular as tensões e propostas teóricas em torno do Atlantico Negro (Gilroy, 2012), com as subjacentes à teoria e à práxis comparativa. Tentar-se-á, desta forma, traçar as coordenadas de um comparativismo que questione (e ultrapasse) as persistências coloniais na contemporaneidade.

Introduction Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) compared with normal HCM is less frequent, it's more associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and it has different sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk factors. Authoritative recommendations and guidelines on diagnosis, family screening and especially patient risk stratification don't exist. Taking decisions on ICD implantation can sometimes be challenging. Patient presentation A 66-year-old male with a history of arterial hypertension was admitted to our cardiology department because during the last night, while he was driving his car, he would have lost consciousness having a car accident. He rapidly felt well even though he doesn't remember what happened a few minutes shortly before and immediately after the event. No witnesses. Due to traumatic chest pain he went to emergency department where an electrocardiogram was performed with evidence of negative T waves and ST-segment depression on V3-V6 leads. Diagnosis and management Physical examination didn't show anything relevant. On heart ultrasound he had normal left ventricle ejection fraction with apical hypertrophy (maximum thickness 18 mm). He underwent coronary angiography which showed normal coronaries. During hospitalization a cardiac magnetic resonance was performed; it described apical hypertrophy with some small areas of intra-myocardium delayed enhancement in apex wall. During hospitalizations no arrhythmic alarms were detected. Discussion Pharmacological and electrical treatment options are based on classic HCM aiming to reduce symptoms, incidence of atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death. Concerning ApHCM, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is usually absent and therefore pharmacological therapeutic benefits may be lower than in classic HCM. Regarding sudden death prevention, we evaluate ICD implantation according to ESC 5-y HCM SCD risk score which doesn't include potential risk markers for SCD in ApHCM such as apical aneurysm, midcavity gradient and midventricular obstruction with SCD risk underestimation. By the way it's still the most used score being aware that could lead to ICD underutilization. In our case, according to HCM risk score 1.74%, negative family screening, no arrhythmic events for 15 days hospitalization, no previous transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) and dynamics of the car accident, we decided to follow-up the patients in our cardiomyopathies outpatient clinic explaining the TLOC with a sleep disorder.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established treatment of severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis and is an effective and less invasive treatment option compared with conventional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients considered inoperable or at high surgical risk. Thromboembolic and bleeding complications negatively impact recovery and survival after TAVI. This case describes one of the few reported TAVI-associated myocardial infarction due to thrombosis of the prosthetic aortic valve. A 82-years-old woman, suffering from severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, underwent TAVI. Before the procedure, coronary artery disease was excluded by invasive coronary angiography. Since the time of the discharge the patient didn't assume any therapy with aspirin or other antithrombotic drugs. A month after TAVI she complained persistent epigastric pain and was admitted to our department for anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography highlighted a monovascular coronary artery disease with thrombotic occlusion of the first diagonal and of the distal left anterior descending coronary artery. In consideration of the thrombotic load thyrofiban was started and it was performed a chest contrast CT which confirmed the diagnostic suspicion of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis. She was first treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and then oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin was started. Echocardiograms (echo) showed a severely reduced systolic function (EF 25%) and high trans-prosthetic gradients (mean transprosthetic pressure gradient of 30 mmHg). On the 8th day after hospitalization she complained chest pain with evidence of moderate pericardial effusion. Epistenocardica pericarditis was therefore diagnosed and the patient started acetylsalicylic acid therapy with progressive clinical, instrumental and laboratory improvement. After 10 days of anticoagulation therapy, she underwent a transesophageal echocardiogram which turned out negative for bioprosthetic valve thrombosis. The predischarge transthoracic echocardiography showed severely reduced systolic function (EF 30%) with a mean transprothesic gradient of 12 mmHg; the circumferential pericardial effusion was mild-moderate but not haemodynamically significative. Therapy at discharged included warfarin and aspirin. Ten days after an echo showed a reduction of the pericardial effusion, an improved systolic function (EF 42%) and mean transprothesic gradient not changed significantly since discharge. Prosthetic valve thrombosis has been reported in up to 40% of patients after TAVI and this case hightlights the importance of antithrombotic therapy after this procedure. Therapeutic anticoagulation appears to be the only non-invasive treatment for resolving valve thrombosis but it is not clear how long this therapy should last for the prevention of prosthetic valve thrombosis.

A 53-old male with arterial hypertension, obesity (BMI 32) and gout presented to our Emergency department symptomatic for dyspnea, complaining about reduced functional capacity (NYHA III), gain of weight e increased abdominal circumference. In the days after we discovered a history of potus (2 liter of wine/day). At a first physical examination we confirmed clinical features of heart failure with pulmonary congestion and ascites. The EKG showed atrial fibrillation, 80 bpm. An echocardiogram showed severely reduced ejection fraction (EF 23%) with diffuse hypokinesia, increased left ventricular mass, deeply increased volumes, with only slightly increased thickness, a mild moderate diastolic dysfunction. Also, the right ventricular was hypokinetic and dilatated. During the hospitalization the patient underwent coronary angiography, which showed no coronary lesion, e cardiac RMN with no pathological features in both T1 and T2 weighted sequences. No increased uptake of contrast in LGE sequences was evidenced. We started diuretic therapy and optimized heart failure therapy with clinical improvement. The management of anticoagulant therapy was difficult because of hepatic dysmetabolic cirrhosis (Child-Pugh Score 8, class B) with contraindication for DOACs treatment. Moreover the patient performed a gastroscopy, which evidenced an ulcerative gastro-duodenitis and erosive gastritis confirming the temporary DOACs contraindication. The patient was discharged in hemodynamic stability, with wearable defibrillator and was taken in charge by a multidisciplinary team. After the normalization of hepatic function the anticoagulation was no longer forbidden so after three weeks we proceeded to successful electrical cardioversion. An echocardiogram was performed after 6 months with almost completely recovery of systolic function (EF 62%) and a slightly reduction of chamber dilatations. The patient denied alcohol consumption throughout the period. This case demonstrates that alcoholic cardiopathy if it's diagnosed at the beginning can be partially reversible. This case presents a challenging clinical setting due to the frequent comorbidities requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Achieving a significant patient compliance is also crucial for long term lifestyle changes.

Introduction Amyloidosis (a.) consists of the build-up of misfolded proteins in the whole body leading to life threatening organ disfunction. The most common form is the AL a., that is the result of kappa or lambda monoclonal light chains deposition as amyloid fibril. Cardiac involvement in AL a. has a high mortality. Once cardiac symptoms reveal, early diagnosis is important in order of the inverse relationship between time after the onset of cardiac symptoms and survival. Case Report A 80-y/o male was admitted in our department. Four months before he had an hospitalization in whom a coronarography was performed, showing no emodinamically signifiant lesions, leading to diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome with non occlusive coronary disease. For two months, he experienced progressive dyspnea, edema of the lower limbs and bilateral pleural effusions. On arrival, he was hemodynamically stable, his laboratory results were significant for a pro-BNP of 26,568 pg/ml and high sensitivity troponin T of 359 ng/L but without movement, the electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with heart rate of 72 bpm, right bundle block, non specific alterations of repolarization and low voltages. The chest X-ray showed bilateral pleural effusion. A first echocardiogram was performed and showed normal left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction of 60%, without wall motion abnormalities, severe concentric hypertrophy, with a left ventricular posterior wall thickness of 16 mm that is over the cutoff proposed by Marume et al., a LV septal WT of 17 mm, over the cutoff of Arvidsson at al., and a granular appearance of the myocardium, seen as hyperrefractile myocardial echoes. There was a moderate-severe diastolic dysfunction (E/E’ ratio of 22). A small pericardial effusion (8 mm) and a right ventricular dilatation (30mm) were present, too. The last parameter is a poor prognostic marker of right heart failure (in our patient there was also a tricuspid insufficiency) and a median survival of four month, as Patel et al. demonstrate. All these parameters are suspicious for storage disease, in particular amyloid deposition. M spike was not shown at serum and urine electrophoresis, and no paraproteins were found in immunofixation. However, increased kappa and lambda free light chains (248 mg/L and 31 mg/L respectively) with an increased serum and urinary kappa/lambda ratio (8.00 and 105.19) were found. Thus, a fine needle aspiration was performed, showing a bone marrow localization of Multiple myeloma (MM). A bone marrow biopsy was done but the result was still unknown at the time of discharge. A negative scintigraphy was performed. The patient was discharged from our department with a diagnosis of chronic heart failure and ongoing investigation about the link between MM and CA. One month later we have seen the result of the bone marrow biopsy that was negative for Congo red staining. During the same month the patient died, so there was no possibility to practice a cardiac biopsy. Discussion The purpose of this abstract is to emphasize the importance of fast diagnosis and cardiac biopsy in a characteristic case of clinical and echocardiogram suspicious of CA and a negative scintigraphy. Therefore the cardiac biopsy is preferable to extracardiac biopsy, as fat pad or bone marrow ones, because the cardiac one is more specific and sensitive. The heart of the matter is that it is not possible for all the departments to carry out this procedure in short-term, as in our case, and a non rapid diagnosis is linked with arrhythmic sudden cardiac death but also a rapidly worsening heart failure, as in our patient.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common valvular heart disease. Although MVP is generally considered benign, it can be associated with important complications, including sudden cardiac death (SCD). MVP is often related to mitral annular disjunction (MAD), a structural abnormality involving a distinct separation of the left atrium/mitral valve annulus and myocardium continuum. It is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias and is an integral component of the arrhythmic MVP (AMVP) complex. Here we present a case report of a patient with MAD, Barlow's syndrome with bileaflet mitral prolapse and a history of recurrent non sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) who underwent subcutaneous cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant in primary prevention. A 49 year old woman, with a history of moderate mitral regurgitation and posterior leaflet prolapse, was sent to our hospital by her cardiologist for the evidence on holter ecg of several tracts of non sustained ventricular arrhythmias. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed the presence of moderate mitral regurgitation, bileaflet prolapse (mainly of the redundant posterior leaflet), dilation of the left atrium and positive Pickelhaube sign, suggestive of MAD. After few days was performed cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with evidence of mitral annulus disjunction associated with bileaflet prolapse and moderate mitral regurgitation. Delayed gadolinium enhanced (DGE) signal was found in the posterior basal wall. During hospitalization, she presented daily episodes of high frequency (>180 bpm) NSVT with right bundle block (RBBB) morphology and several premature ventricular complex. It was therefore decided to discharge the patient with Life Vest and five months later, after asking second opinion to an Italian high specialization center, we decided to place a subcutaneous ICD in primary prevention for the high arrhythmic risk of the patient. Arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (AMVP) is an estimated cause of sudden cardiac death. It is known that patients with MVP and MAD have a high arrhythmic risk but there aren't trials that demonstrate the benefits of primary ICD implantation. The recent “EHRA expert consensus statement on arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse and mitral annular disjunction “ affirms that can be reasonable, primary ICD implant, in patients with AMVP, 1 high risk features (VT (hemodynamically tolerated), NSVT, unexplained syncope) and 2 or more phenotypic risk features (—T-wave inversion in the inferior leads, repetitive documented polymorphic PVCs, MAD phenotype, redundant MV leaflet, enlarged left atrium or ejection fraction≤50%, LGE). For this reason, our patient underwent subcoutanues ICD implant. Therefore, we believe that further studies, to develop guidelines for risk stratification of patients with evident MVP, would be beneficial in reducing the incidence of potentially fatal events in these patients.

A partire dagli anni Novanta si assiste in Brasile alla pubblicazione di numerose opere volte a rappresentare lo spazio e l’esperienza del carcere. Repressione omicida, violenza, degrado e abbandono motivano l’urgenza di testimoniare, attraverso le forme della letteratura, il dramma della detenzione. È da tale esigenza che sorge Estação Carandiru (1999),opera pubblicata dal medico DrauzioVarella in seguito alla strage avvenuta nel 1992 nel carcere di Carandiru, e anni più tardi Prisioneiras (2017), romanzo di testimonianza in cui l’autore interroga l’universo carcerario femminile. Con la lettura critica di queste due opere, il presente articolo pretende interrogare le dinamiche del potere nel Brasile contemporaneo, evidenziando la persistenza delle logiche coloniali e schiaviste nella contemporaneità urbana brasiliana., Publifarum, N. 32 (2020): Da dietro le sbarre: arte, letteratura e carcere dall'ottocento a oggi

This article aims to analyse the literature produced in Europe and in Portugal in particular, by people in transit, contemporary migrants, focusing on the dissonances present in these texts in relation to the he-gemonic collective imaginary. Considering the urban dynamics and the action of public power in Lisbon, as well as the representation of the city space in contemporary literary texts - including the novel Luanda, Lisboa, Paraíso (2018), by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida -, this article highlights the relationship between contemporary capitalist development and colonial persistence in the daily life of the city of Lisbon.

Este artigo faz uma análise crítica do filme Praça Paris (2017), dirigido por Lúcia Murat, mostrando como essa obra aponta para os resíduos do colonialismo e do escravismo na contemporaneidade urbana da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Ao estabelecer ligações entre espaços urbanos simbólicos na geografia carioca e os personagens, o filme de Lúcia Murat propõe uma leitura do fenômeno do racismo na contemporaneidade. A partir de uma leitura diacrônica das intervenções atuadas pelo poder público na metrópole carioca, o artigo evidencia a relevância de afetos políticos tanto na construção do espaço urbano tanto nas relações entre alteridades, moldadas ao nível estrutural pelas práticas do racismo.

Aims Tako-Tsubo syndrome is an usual form of acute cardiomyopathy characterized by reversible left ventricle apical ballooning which occurs in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. Rarely an increase in catecholamines due to pheochromocytoma could lead to Tako-Tsubo syndrome. Here we report a clinical case of undetected pheochromocytoma which led to Tako-Tsubo syndrome in an adult female patient. Methods and results A 60 years old female presented at our emergency department with chest pain, increase in cardiac troponin levels and hypo-akinesia of the apical segments at the echocardiography. She was admitted with acute coronary syndrome suspicious. He had history of acute coronary syndrome with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) in the 2017. Coronary angiography performed at 24 h from admission, again showed non-obstructive coronary disease, whereby we reviewed the previous MINOCA diagnosis into recurrence Tako-Tsubo syndrome diagnosis. During hospitalization she presented parossistic sinus tachycardia refractory to beta-blocker and ivabradine combined therapy. Cardiac magnetic resonance was performed and confirmed Tako-Tsubo syndrome, furthermore showed a surrenalic mass. Contrast-enhanced abdomen computed tomography and high levels of metanephrines suggested pheochromocytoma diagnosis. One month later she underwent left surrenectomy surgery. Histological examination confirmed pheochromocytoma. The last echocardiography didn’t show kinesia abnormalities with normal left ventricular function. Conclusions Our case illustrates the importance of understanding the correlation between Tako-tsubo syndrome and pheochromocytoma, especially in patients with increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Until recently, according to Tako-Tsubo syndrome Mayo Clinic criteria, our patient wouldn’t had receive a Tako-Tsubo syndrome diagnosis because pheochromocytoma was an exclusion criteria. Since 2018, Inter-TAK criteria replaced Mayo Clinic criteria including Tako-Tsubo syndrome expression of pheochromocytoma. Referring to our annoying title we always have to consider Tako-Tsubo syndrome into MINOCA differential diagnosis.

Considerando algumas das reflexões acerca do pós-moderno e do pós-colonial, expressas em particular por Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Fredric Jameson e Remo Ceserani, com o artigo “Entre pós-moderno e pós-colonial: memória e perda no romance português da Guerra Colonial ” proponho uma leitura comparada dos romances portugueses Os cus de Judas (1979), de António Lobo Antunes, e Jornada de África (1989), de Manuel Alegre. Ambos os romances, solicitando uma ampla reflexão acerca da experiência traumática da Guerra Colonial e da repressão fascista, manifestam o enfraquecimento dos sujeitos fortes da modernidade ocidental ̶ como a Nação e o Estado – e a necessidade pós-colonial de repensar a identidade portuguesa e a memória coletiva, numa perspetiva pós-colonial, perante o desmorono do império ultramarino.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO A tese Cidades em trânsito: cultura, conflito e poder no espaço atlântico da língua portuguesa investiga produções literárias e cinematográficas, provenientes de países da área atlântica da língua portuguesa ̶ Angola, Brasil, Cabo Verde e Portugal ̶ , que encenam a realidade urbana como lugar de conflito e instigam uma leitura da violência e das relações de poder intrínsecas à vivência contemporânea, em especial a indagação da sua continuidade com o passado marcado pela exploração colonial e escravista do espaço e dos corpos. De acordo com a pluralidade dos objetos e dos contextos investigados, a abordagem comparativa que sustenta a análise do corpus propõe uma crítica que, ao conceptualizar a noção de endocolonialismo como caraterística da ação do poder na contemporaneidade, evidencia a complexidade e a multiplicidade das formas através das quais a violência e o racismo se inscrevem na realidade urbana, dando continuidade à subalternização dos corpos e à fragmentação hierarquizada do território, dinâmicas implementadas pelo colonialismo e pelo escravismo. À luz das diferenças intrínsecas aos contextos em análise, tendo sempre como ponto de partida as conexões que as obras constroem com o espaço urbano, após um primeiro capítulo mais enfaticamente teórico, que se debruça sobre as múltiplas relações entre poder e capital, nas outras três partes convoca-se um repertório heterógeno: as elucubrações de Giorgio Agamben sobre a stasis, isto é, a guerra civil como paradigma político, articulam-se às de Michael Foucault sobre biopoder, às de Achille Mbembe sobre necropolítica e as provenientes de vários autores sobre os afetos políticos. Tais reflexões, conjugadas às investigações pontuais acerca dos contextos urbanos do Atlântico de língua portuguesa, permitem desenhar de forma analítica a persistência da logica colonial e escravista na contemporaneidade urbana. The thesis Cities in transit: culture, conflict and power in the Atlantic area of the Portuguese language investigates literary and cinematographic productions from the Portuguese speaking countries of the Atlantic area- Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde and Portugal -representing urban reality as a place of conflict, stimulating a reading of violence and power relations intrinsic to the contemporary experience in the light of the many continuities with a past marked by colonial and slavery exploitation of the bodies. The comparative approach that underlies the analysis of the selected corpus, appropriate with the plurality of the works and contexts examined, proposes a critical essay that, in conceptualizing the notion of endo-colonialism as a characteristic of the act of power in the contemporary world, highlights the complexity and multiplicity of the ways through which violence and racism come to join the urban reality, giving continuity to the submission of bodies and to the fragmentation of the territory, dynamics which were implemented during the colonial and slavery era. In light of the intrinsic differences in each context being analysed and always considering as a starting point the many ties that literary texts build with the urban space, after the first chapter of theoretical nature, which observes the multiple relations between power and capital, the following parts making up the research convene a heterogeneous conceptual repertoire: Giorgio Agamben s considerations about the stasis, namely about the civil war as a political paradigm, are alternated with to those of Michael Foucault on bio power, to those of Achille Mbembe on necropolitics and to the reflections of various other authors concerning political affections. These analyses, combined with detailed investigations into the urban contexts of the Portuguese-speaking Atlantic, allow us to draw an analytical account of the persistence of colonial and slavery logic in urban contemporaneity. La tesi Città in transito: cultura, conflitto e potere nello spazio atlantico della lingua portoghese indaga produzioni letterarie e cinematografiche provenienti dai Paesi dell area atlantica della lingua portoghese ̶ Angola, Brasile, Capo Verde e Portogallo ̶ che rappresentano la realtà urbana come luogo di conflitto, stimolando una lettura della violenza e delle relazioni di potere intrinseche all esperienza contemporanea alla luce delle tante continuità con un passato segnato dallo sfruttamento coloniale e schiavista dei corpi. L approccio comparativo che sottostà all analisi del corpus selezionato, consono alla pluralità delle opere e dei contesti interrogati, propone una critica che, nel concettualizzare la nozione di endocolonialismo come caratteristica dell azione del potere nella contemporaneità, evidenzi la complessità e la molteplicità delle forme tramite le quali violenza e razzismo si iscrivono all interno della realtà urbana, dando continuità alla subalternizzazione dei corpi e alla frammentazione del territorio, dinamiche implementate durante l epoca coloniale e schiavista. Alla luce delle differenze intrinseche a ciascun contesto in analisi, considerando sempre come punto di partenza i tanti legami che le opere costruiscono con lo spazio urbano, dopo un primo capitolo di natura teorica, che osserva le multiple relazioni tra potere e capitale, le altre tre parti che compongono la ricerca convocano un repertorio concettuale eterogeneo: le considerazioni di Giorgio Agamben circa la stasis, ovvero riguardo alla guerra civile come paradigma politico, si articolano a quelle di Michael Foucault sul biopotere, a quelle di Achille Mbembe sulla necropolitica e alle riflessioni di vari altri autori riguardanti la gli affetti politici. Tali analisi, coniugate alle indagini puntuali circa i contesti urbani dell Atlantico di lingua portoghese, permettono di disegnare in maniera analitica la persistenza della logica coloniale e schiavista nella contemporaneità urbana.

Resenha do livro A literatura Africana e a crítica pós-colonial: reconversões, de Inocência Mata.

A época contemporânea manifesta uma contínua banalização da violência. No entanto, para Jacques Rancière, tal banalização não se deve à quantidade de imagens propostas, mas principalmente ao status de objeto atribuído às próprias vítimas da violência, corpos sem nome e sem voz. Tendo em consideração as representações da violência urbana em literatura, através de uma leitura comparada dos romances Cidade de Deus, de Paulo Lins, e Marginais, de Evel Rocha, com o presente artigo pretendo discutir este status de objeto como continuidade com as lógicas que caraterizaram a modernidade colonial.

According to the analysis of Jacinto do Prado Coelho in Originalidade da literatura portuguesa , the portuguese collective consciousness has been built over time through a series of references from the literature. For a long time, portoguese historiography has used literature as its primary source: myths, memories and travel chronicles have contributed both to the construction of official history by the authorities and to what can be defined as the poetics of the nation – during the long time at the service of the Estado Novo and its propaganda of the imperial ideology. However, from 1974, in conjunction with the end of the salazarist dictatorship and the colonial war, the literature begins to narrate the moment of loss and the end of the long-lasting portuguese colonial tradition. Borrowing the expression of A.P. Ferreira and M.C. Ribeiro, the literature started to interrogate the spectres and fantasies of the empire. Therefore, building on the strong connection between portuguese literature, historiography and collective consciousness, this article presents a critical analysis of the novel O retorno by Dulce Maria Cardoso, which seeks to investigate and analyse the remains of the empire. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/abriluff.2018n20a470

Estética e ética, a despeito de acepções bastante restritas, podem concernir a significados muito comuns em se tratando de literatura. A propósito, determinadas condições histórico-culturais ensejam que as preocupações sociais e as inquietações poéticas se imbriquem de modo que ambas pareçam ser tão somente uma. Os Poetas do Povo e da Periferia, epítetos pelos quais são conhecidos, respectivamente, Solano Trindade e Sérgio Vaz, emergem de extratos sociais empobrecidos e, ao mesmo tempo, contextos culturais enriquecedores. A despeito de distantes no tempo e no espaço, as trajetórias específicas de cada um deles conduzem-nos a mobilizar proposições similares de arte. Solano Trindade cresce em um contexto de efervescência cultural popular e, a partir de suas experiências pessoais, engendra uma arte do povo pelo povo, valorizando tradições brasileiras, africanas, afrobrasileiras. Sérgio Vaz cresce em um contexto de tensões sociais (vulnerabilidade econômica e violência exacerbada dos grandes centros urbanos) e transição entre a cultura popular e a cultura de massa e, a partir dessas experiências de vida, concebe uma arte da periferia pela periferia. Trata-se, em ambos os casos, de poetas que se tornam mais do que intelectuais; viram artistas-cidadãos; isto é, encarnam os Poetas do Povo e da Periferia um tipo específico de intelectualidade, aquela que, por meio do compartilhamento de arte, visa à partilha de saberes e a transformações sociais. Ancorado nos fundamentos dos estudos de Literatura Comparada, zarpa esta pesquisa em reflexões atinentes à formação de uma Paideia, por ambos os poetas - na história da Literatura Brasileira -, que não apenas inova no modo como se tematiza o excluído (sobretudo, pobres, negros, nordestinos, mulheres), alcançando-o ao protagonismo, tornando positivas características que lhe são peculiares, mas na maneira como se (re)estiliza a linguagem do povo nas composições poéticas que produzem. Para tanto, discorrer-se-á acerca de como Solano Trindade e Sérgio Vaz tornam-se referência para leitores, outros literatos, pesquisadores e ativistas (culturais e sociais). Destarte, por um lado, tratar-se-á de seus ativismos, por outro de seus poemas; no caso da produção literária, o enfoque convergirá ao tratamento ético e estético acerca da mulher, da criança e do adolescente e, enfim, da humanidade na figura do homem. Aesthetics and ethics, despite very narrow meanings, may concern meanings very common when it comes from literature. By the way, certain historical-cultural conditions give rise to social concerns and poetic concerns to intermingle, so that both seem to be just one. The Poets of the People and the Periphery, epithets for which Solano Trindade and Sérgio Vaz are known, respectively, emerge from impoverished social strata and, at the same time, enriching cultural contexts. Despite distances in time and space, the specific trajectories of each one lead us to mobilize similar propositions of art. Solano Trindade grows up in a context of popular cultural effervescence and, from his personal experiences, engenders an art of people for the people, valuing Brazilian, African and Afro-Brazilian traditions. Sérgio Vaz grows up in a context of social tensions (economic vulnerability and exacerbated violence in large urban centers) and transition between popular culture and mass culture, from these life experiences, conceives an art from the periphery through the periphery. It is in both cases, about poets who had become more than intellectuals; they have become artist-citizens; that is, the Poets of the People and of the Periphery embody a specific type of intellectuality, one that, through the sharing of art, aims at the sharing of knowledge and social transformations. Anchored in the foundations of Comparative Literature studies, this research sets out on reflections related to the formation of a Paideia, by both poets - in the history of Brazilian Literature -, which not only innovates the way of thematic is the excluded (above all, poor, blacks , Northeasterners, women), reaching them to the leading role, making positive characteristics that are peculiar to them, but in the way the language of that people is (re) stylized in the poetic compositions they produce. For this purpose, it will be discussed how Solano Trindade and Sérgio Vaz have become a reference for readers, other literatures, researchers and activists (cultural and social). Thus, on the one hand, it will be about their activisms, on the other hand, their poems; in case of literary production, the focus will converge to the ethical and aesthetic treatment of women, children, adolescents and, finally, humanity in the figure of man.
