This paper analyzes the recent behavior of the Brazilian direct investment abroad, as captured by an annual census conducted by the Central Bank of Brazil since 2001, by putting it in a broader perspective that includes international official data sources and early sample studies. Though the Central Bank has not been making available more disaggregated data than those analyzed here, it is intended to contribute to a better grasping of the perspectives of competitive internationalization of local firms, which is desirable not only as far as the external accounts are concerned, but also from the viewpoint of the technological capabilities of the local firms.

This study sought to investigate how Brazilian literature has examined the performance of using public procurement to implement public policies in Brazil, by mapping the state of the art in an revision of the literature for the decade 2007-2017. The relevance of this research resides in the presentation of the national panorama of research concerning the performance of government procurement, thus contributing to the Public Administration literature and to the debate on evaluation of the use of public procurement. Three thematic categories summarize the literature: Outputs of the use; The use of multicriteria models on measuring the performance, and; The use of the State's procurement power. A research agenda presents two gaps: studies that test the performance of public procurement under a compared and multicriteria perspective, and; studies that test theoretical variables that are characteristic to the use of public procurement, such as user satisfaction, transparency or accountability.Keywords: public procurement; performance in the public sector; the use of the State's procurement power. ; Neste estudo, buscou-se investigar como a literatura tem averiguado o desempenho de uso das compras governamentais para implementação de políticas públicas no Brasil, por meio do mapeamento do estado da arte em revisão exaustiva da literatura do decênio 2007-2017.

This article discusses the conflicting but potent (dis)encounters among the polymorphic fields of Environmental Education and Cultural Studies. It shows that much research from this articulation has been dedicated to printing erasures in discourses circulating in culture about nature and the environment. But what about when deconstructing is not enough? Recent debates about the environmental crisis, the Anthropocene, climate change and its social developments bring the need for new questions about the connections between culture and environment. Finally, it questions whether the political bias that has marked cultural studies since its emergence may contribute to the search for new radicalisms in Environmental Education. ; Este artigo discute os (des)encontros - conflituosos, mas potentes - entre os polimorfos campos da educação ambiental e dos estudos culturais. Mostra que muitas pesquisas realizadas a partir dessa articulação dedicaram-se a imprimir rasuras em discursos que circulam na cultura sobre natureza e meio ambiente. Mas e quando desconstruir não é o bastante? Os recentes debates sobre a crise ambiental, o Antropoceno, as mudanças climáticas e seus desdobramentos sociais trazem a necessidade de formularmos novas perguntas sobre as conexões entre cultura e ambiente. Por fim, interroga se o viés político que marca os estudos culturais desde sua emergência pode contribuir na busca por novos radicalismos em educação ambiental.

This article seeks to analyze how the phenomenon of dance presents itself in philosophy, especially from the reflections of the German philosopher F. Nietzsche. To enhance our hypotheses, we will resort to the literary work The Steppenwolf by the German writer Hermann Hesse. We know that dance as a metaphor for thought is presented both throughout Nietzsche's work and in the aforementioned book by Hermann Hesse. Therefore, our analysis seeks to demonstrate how dance involves a situation of surrender and acceptance of Life. It is about dance as a thought of overcoming oneself. This overcoming takes place in the instant. The instant when we understand Life as a movement towards its infinite possibilities. Based on the philosophical investigation, in this work, we will start by presenting the concept of dance in Nietzsche's philosophy, then we will exemplify this concept in the work of Hesse and, finally, we will demonstrate the relationship between dance, thought and affirmation of life.

30 anos de literatura brasileira na RFA: como uma das editoras centrais da Europa do pós-guerra, a editora Suhrkamp, contribuiu e impulsionou a recepção da literatura brasileira no mercado editorial alemão. Através da análise de documentos do arquivo da editora Douglas Pompeu reflete sobre a posição marginal da produção literária brasileira na circulação literária internacional, assim como sobre o seus esforços de divulgação para além das fronteiras nacionais. O estudo pode ser resumido como uma pesquisa de cruzamento entre dois espaços literários com valências distintas, mas em contato e movimento constante, no qual editores, agentes, redatores, tradutores e o leitor tomam o protagonismo da instância autor na produção do livro e na legibilidade, traduzibilidade e vendabilidade do produto literário.

Even today, the representations of Brasilia that circulate as hegemonic and the Brazilians that appear in them all focus on the original project, even though many of them re-signify their bases linked to progress and capitalist ideals, contrasting reports that emphasize the affections, the feelings, the bodies that coexist between asphalt and concrete, aspects at first sight incompatible with the logic of the city (BEAL, 2015). However, in recent years, certain historically desolate and silenced narratives coming from the periphery of the Pilot Plan have begun to resonate, bringing in the city's imaginary other brasilias that are no longer thought of as an utopia, but as an heterotopia, a subversion of the established order that leads us to the creation of resignified and alternative places (FOUCAULT, 1982). The par excellence space of the creation and vociferation of these stories are the saraus of the peripheries. This article analyzes the images about Brasilia that are built in these literary spaces located in the Administrative Regions, composing, besides the analysis, a file with material that does not circulate beyond this independent and autonomous literary circuit.

This article intends to establish a canon of the pombaline writingsabout public instruction in general, and the teaching of Humanitiesin particular, which are responsible for what is conventionallycalled in the educational historiography by the name of pombalinereforms. Additionally, it aims to investigate the way thosewritings provoked the foundation and affected the developmentof public instruction in Brazil. To attain such purposes, based onthe theoretical support of cultural history and cultural studies, itis used the historiography dedicated to the period, manuscriptsand documental, legislative, literary, and epistolary sources, aswell as textbooks and periodicals published in the period.

The connection between art and sublime, at first sight, sounds like a certainty, but throughout the 18th century some theories separated this category from the several art forms. Those were the decades in which the matters on the sublime were notably fruitful, times where not only the sublime earns its title as an aesthetic category, but also outstandingly takes part on the epistemological debates at the time where the term Aesthetics were just recently coined. It is in this scenery that some thinkers were especially worried about the natural sublime only. This article intends to show the path travelled by this concept from the 1st century, with Longinus' literature treaty Peri Hypsos, translated by Boileau-Despréaux as Du Sublime to its reception by the English in 1689. From that reception on, the text goes through philosophers such as Joseph Addison, Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant, who developed the natural sublime theory, arriving to the reinsertion of the tragedy in this category by Friedrich Schiller. Thus, what we call here "the cycle of the natural sublime", which originated in literary production and moved away from it with the Empiricism and the Transcendental Idealism, comes back again within the sphere of literature in the German poet's work.
