The objective of this study was to investigate some life history traits of the palaemonid shrimp Typton carneus collected from a reef in northeastern Brazil. Samples of the sponges Amphimedon compressa, A. viridis, Desmapsamma anchorata, Dysidea etheria, Haliclona implexiformis and Tedania ignis were analyzed and shrimps were removed from them. A total of 41 individuals were found in Te. ignis, three in H. implexiformis and one in D. etheria; the latter two sponges are new records of sponge hosts for Ty. carneus. Of the specimens associated with Te. ignis, 24 were males, 10 ovigerous females, six non-ovigerous females and one juvenile male. Fecundity varied between 19 to 56 eggs (37 ± 14) per female, and the mean egg volume was 0.033 ± 0.010 mm³. Eleven heterosexual pairs were obtained. Characteristics of the pairs suggest a monogamous mating system for the studied population, such as: the absence of sexual dimorphism in weaponry and body size and presence of paired non-brooding and brooding females carrying eggs in different development stages; and a sex ratio that does not differ from the expected 1:1. However, the lack of size-assortative pairing as well as the low proportion of pairs, compared to solitary individuals, have been observed in polygamous mating systems.

Este artigo propõe uma conversa entre as ideias heterogêneas desenvolvidas pelo crítico cultural Raúl Antelo e o trabalho incomum da escritora Maria Gabriela Llansol, em suas respectivas articulações com noções de “Tempo” e “História”, “Passado” e “Futuro”, mas, sobretudo, evidencia a potência do contemporâneo que há em seus gestos, que apresentam a crítica e o texto como um “lugar do político”. Tencionando-os em uma relação com o pensamento de figuras como Walter Benjamin e Giorgio Agamben, especialmente no que se refere à ruptura com o mito do progresso histórico e com a pontualidade que domina a concepção ocidental do tempo; ao procedimento de montagem dos fragmentos do “mundo pós-desastre” no exercício crítico e criativo, e à ideia da “infância como pátria transcendental da história”.
