A Passeio é uma plataforma de arte e cultura urbana, concebida no âmbito do Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade (CECS) da Universidade do Minho. Com este projeto, através de uma metodologia qualitativa e de inspiração antropológica, fixamos o nosso olhar nas ruas da cidade – na arquitetura, no graffiti, na música, no teatro e na animação de rua, no desporto urbano, no artesanato e no comércio tradicional, na publicidade e no vitrinismo – nas suas imagens, nas suas histórias e nas ligações tecnológicas que prolongam o traçado destas ruas e destas redes. Neste artigo, a partir de uma revisão de paradigmas teóricos relativos à cultura visual, à cidade e às noções de espaço e de lugar, fixamos na figura inspiradora do flâneur, tal como esta foi descrita e problematizada pelo filósofo alemão Walter Benjamin, o ponto de partida comum deste passeio.
Cryptococcal meningitis is a common opportunistic infection in HIV-infected patients and other immunocompromised people. Pregnancy, which is a state of relative immunosuppression, can also be a risk factor for the development of cryptococcal meningitis. We report a clinical case of a 41-year-old woman who developed a severe meningeal syndrome after an otherwise normal pregnancy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytochemical analysis presented hypoglycorrhachia, high protein levels, and pleocytosis. Cryptococcal antigen tested positive in serum and CSF, and Cryptococcus neoformans was identified in the CSF culture. The diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis was confirmed, and antifungal induction therapy was started with liposomal amphotericin B and flucytosine. After clinical improvement, induction therapy was discontinued, and the patient was discharged under maintenance therapy with fluconazole. While under antifungal maintenance therapy, the patient presented worsening of symptoms and a new brain magnetic resonance showed the development of multiple cryptococcoma. Despite sterile CSF cultures, there was a deterioration of the cytochemical parameters. The diagnosis of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome was assumed, and after initiation of corticotherapy, the patient improved considerably. This is a rare case of cryptococcal meningitis in a puerperal woman with a challenging management.
As formas sensíveis que se interpõem à experiência quotidiana de circulação pelo espaço urbano encontram na publicidade exterior um dos meios mais propícios ao exercício da vida social. Porém, a publicidade exterior impõe-se numa relação dialógica nem sempre pacífica, entendida como uma ameaça à ordem (desordem) da cidade percebida. Poderá a publicidade deixar de querer afirmar o lugar da persuasão, da sedução e da poética no quadro da vida urbana contemporânea? Em 26 de Setembro de 2006, a Câmara Municipal de São Paulo, no Brasil, aprovou a Lei Cidade Limpa, visando a proibição da publicidade exterior. Desde então, uma acérrima polémica tem ocupado cidadãos, políticos, arquitetos, urbanistas, publicitários, bem como artistas, entre diversos tipos de interlocutores, na defesa de pontos de vista por vezes radicalmente irreconciliáveis. É nossa convicção que subjacente a uma tal discussão se encontram diferentes noções de felicidade, individual ou coletiva, que na sua particular aplicação ao espaço e cultura da cidade, em fase de preparação da Copa do Mundo de 2014 (em São Paulo), importa cartografar.
ResumoInvestment in strategic communication, and especially in advertising, in the fashion design industry remains a prerequisite for promoting the brand value. The effectiveness of brand visibility and awareness depends mostly on advertising, both in the context of fashion magazines and the new media, and in the context of the outdoors medium, which is simultaneously one of the most traditional and modern means of mass communication. This paper aims to analyse and discuss both dimensions. Firstly, it aims to provide an understanding of how the urban landscape is built into fashion advertising, and especially to investigate the extent to which the collective imagination contributes to that process. This research therefore seeks to identify the main landscape referents represented and search for the respective association with various cultural and artistic universes, such as literature, photography or cinema. Underlying this critical reflection is an understanding that landscape is not just a simple decor, but conversely an extremely important visual and discursive resource for the advertising message. Secondly, this paper attempts to challenge the implications of fashion brands outdoor advertising specifically in relation to the urban landscape and to the everyday life experience. Therefore, it is also an important aim of this article to discuss outdoor advertising within the scope of the more recent cultural and aesthetic trends. In order to achieve the stated objectives and engage in a scientific discussion of the topic, the case of the fashion brand Donna Karan New York -DKNY was selected, as it is considered to be paradigmatic of the main operational principles and hypotheses researched.
