Esse trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a especificidade da transferência em psicoterapia breve. A metodologia utilizada é um estudo de caso. A relação de reciprocidade estabelecida inicialmente pela dupla terapêutica demarcou o espaço psicoterápico como um lugar de 'palavra vazia' e o cliente só pôde falar do que lhe fazia sofrer quando a estagiária saiu do lugar de sujeito que ocupava na relação. Esse deslocamento teve um efeito terapêutico para o cliente, que se fez marcar pela subtração da palavra. "Quem fala perde"(sic). Perder este lugar-sintoma foi o efeito resultante deste tratamento. Conclui-se que a proposta dos atendimentos breves de orientação psicanalítica opera a partir da sustentação do cliente enquanto sujeito do tratamento.

When we take active life as a starting point, we see that plurality, the category that underlies the action, manifests itself in the middle of the public space. The field of politics is that of plurality, in which the freedom that is the very condition of politics is necessary and, therefore, the public space becomes the welcoming sphere of both. It is in this sphere that memories and narratives are constituted through the actions taken in this space. Thus, our objective is to demonstrate how the public space is constituted and the importance of this space as a place of memory construction, having as main work The Human Condition of Hannah Arendt. In short, our reflection will be around the importance of remembering tragic events as a way of not experiencing them again.

The paper analyses the Brazilian distribution of income with the objective of identifying to what extent economic policies, macroeconomic performance and changes in the structure of the labor force are related to inequality. There is evidence of long term increases in inequality, especially between 1960 and 1970. Long term trends do not seem to be affected by economic performance, although the stagnation of the 1980s has led to absolute income losses for all individuals except those at the top level. Short term behavior, on the other hand, seems to have been influenced by economic performance: There is evidence that growth enhances equity, whereas high inflation has the opposite effect

New Development Strategy for Brazil: a long-term vision. The foremost aim of the article is to propose a new development strategy for Brazil, replacing the neoliberal model presently used. In short, the point is to recover a long term vision of the economic policies. And for that it is indispensable to take into consideration the recent evolution of the Development Economics which considers the existence of market, instead of the availability of savings, as the main condition in economic development policies has as one of its consequences the unacceptability of the process of globalization with its present characteristics.

Since 2009, with the eruption of the Greek part of the crisis, and until the European Council in December 2011, the crisis has known three different moments. The first concerns the "Greece as an isolated case", the second is related with the possible contagion to Ireland and Portugal, and the third one refers to the short term crisis management and the concomitant need to adopt structural solutions for the future.

This article examines the obstacles to public sector adjustment arising from the existence of a high level of government debt in form of short-term or floating interest rate obligations. In this context, adjustment programmes that rely exclusively on increases in taxation or reductions in non-financial government expenditures have limited possibilities of success. The article concludes that under present circumstances a successful stabilization programme would have to involve fiscal adjustment, a shock treatment against inflation and a restructuring of government debt

Although Brazil has traditionally been characterized by a culture of inward-looking policy making, the presence of foreign firms in the Brazilian productive sector has always been significant. The share of foreign-owned firms is one of the highest that can be found among developing countries. This article discusses the main features of the external sector of the Brazilian economy, regarding trade flows, foreign investment, the internationalization of Brazilian entrepreneurial groups and the short-term financial requirements in foreign currencies. Adapted from the source document.

A contribution to the debate on the efficacy of monetary policy and some implications in the case of Brazil. The main opposition between Keynesian and Classic monetary theories is defined by the former's proposition of money non-neutrality in the long period. According to Keynes, it is not possible to describe a monetary economy's long period position without first specifying the monetary policy it is adopting. The policy is described by the choice of the short-term interest rate which exerts an important determining influence on the long term rate and, therefore, on real investment decisions. Based on this reasoning, inflation target monetary policy regimes are criticized, in particular the one adopted in post-1999 balance of payments crisis Brazil because of its deleterious impact on investment and growth.

The authors aim at obtaining a simple econometric model that allows to build a confidence interval for the dispersion of the bids made by financial institutions at the Central Bank weekly auctions of short term securities in Brazil. Under competitive conditions it is assumed that the bids' dispersion is associated with the volatility of futures prices and the daily interest rates that had prevailed during the days prior to the auction. Based on that assumption the model succeeds in separating the two auctions with extremely high volatility. (Rev Econ Pol/DÜI)

This paper shows the increase of the expenditures related to the Brazilian government payroll and the pension of retired people previously employed by the federal union. This variable suffered a jump of around 2.5 points of the GDP between 1985 and 1995. It is also shown the evolution of the aggregate value and the composition of this kind of expenditure according to the different government agencies. The author concludes that this process is difficult to reverse in the short term, especially in an economy with a low level of inflation. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)

This paper discusses the possible privatization of Petrobras. It is argued that despite the economic reasons that recommend its sale, probably the prerequisites for it will not exist in the short term. The purpose of the paper is to contribute to the discussion of this proposal, through the organization of the arguments related to the privatization - the "YPF model". The alternative is the "PDVSA model", opening up the oil sector, with Petrobras remaining a state-owned company. Finally, some issues for reflection are suggested and some data associated with the company's actual value are presented. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)

This article describes the creation of a memory initiative in Medellín, Colombia: a commemorative wall with the names of the people murdered in Santo
Domingo Savio's neighborhood. Based on this description, the authors analyze the relations among the conceptions of memory, common, and community, and call into question the consequences of commemorating the murderers in the same space of
the victims. Why is recognition central for the public discussion on memory? Is there a legitimate and an illegitimate way of mourning? Which lives really matter? The analysis is carried out from the results of two doctoral researches with emphasis on
the concepts of community, common and identity. The article concludes that in the case of the commemorative wall of Santo Domingo Savio, what is common to this group are the feelings of loss and vulnerability in facing violence. As a result, what
relates the members of this territory is less a positive identity than the recognition of their losses as well as their common dealing with finitude and death.
