O romance Antes de nascer o mundo (2009), do moçambicano Mia Couto, narra o deslocamento da família do narrador Mwanito, de Maputo para Jesusalém, em plena guerra civil. Em um espaço construído pelo imaginário do patriarca como uma nova nação, Mwanito e Ntunzi constroem um pertencimento (Flusser, 2007) fraturado neste insílio (Can, 2020). Este artigo buscou atestar que, a despeito do regresso geográfico realizado ao final do romance, a memória (Gagnebin, 2006; Pollak, 1989; Sarlo, 2007) atua como fator crucial para relativizarmos a plenitude deste retorno.

In this article, I read João Guimarães Rosa's Grande sertão: veredas as an extended contemplation of the Brazilian backlands region known as the sertão, comparing it with Herman Melville's timeless novel Moby-Dick; or, the Whale, which I read in a similar vein (but with regard to the sea). In this analysis, sea and sertão overlap and become largely interchangeable. In doing so, I also comment on the importance of the way in which we conceive of nature in general, and of the sea and the sertão specifically. The article employs Jedediah Purdy's idea of the environmental imagination and Steven Vogel's concept of humility before nature as they relate to perceptions of the environment (and the world) through a literary lens. In short, my focus is on exploring how literary representations of nature can condition readers' attitudes and behaviors toward it. After detailing the similarities between both narrators' perceptions and descriptions of sea/sertão as incomprehensible spaces that invite narrators (and readers) to self-discovery, I discuss the potential effects these narratives can have in shaping readers' perceptions of the environment and their relation to the world in which they live.

The essay highlights traditions, customs, relationships, morals and manners of the Asians and the Europeans as represented in Ivan Bunin’s famous collection Dark Avenues. This article is an attempt to demonstrate the specificity of Bunin’s vision of national mentality shaped both by national identity and by the place where a person belongs to, be it a civilized urban space or a countryside. Russian mentality reveals itself to the fullest when explored against the background of the Russian estate house that became a spiritual home for Bunin in emigration. Bunin discloses the ambiguity of the Russian national character that combines spirituality with vulgarity, empathy and compassion with unrestrained craving for living life to its fullest each day and lack of discipline. The impetuous nature of the Russians is opposed to the more reserved character of other nations. Different attitudes to life and death disclose different cultural codes affected by Catholic and Orthodox traditions. In his ontology of love, Bunin explores, with deep interest, the dark avenues of the human soul, beamed through the national mentality.
Este trabalho realiza uma reflexão em torno da representação do sertão em Viajo porque preciso, volto porque te amo, filme de Marcelo Gomes e Karim Aïnouz, e no conto "Milagre em Juazeiro", de Ronaldo Correia de Brito. A questão proposta é de que os elementos da narrativa de estrada articulam-se, nos dois casos, a uma revisão dos significados assumidos por essa imagem em diferentes momentos da história da literatura e do cinema brasileiros.

Fenomena yang cukup menonjol terjadi pada makanan. Makanan dengan nama-nama asing booming hingga menomorduakan makanan tradisional. Itu dulu. Belakangan, beberapa makanan tradisional kembali bangkit dan bahkan booming di kalangan anak muda khususnya. Makanan yang dimaksud adalah seblak. Penelitian tentang fenomena ini sangat penting untuk mengetahui kiat-kiat apa yang dilakukan pegiat makanan tradisional hingga makanan yang diproduksinya dapat diterima kembali di era sekarang ini. Dari kiat-kiat tersebut bukan tidak mungkin dapat dijadikan model untuk membangkitkan kembali jenis makanan tradisional lainnya dari keterpurukannya. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa makanan tradisional, dalam hal ini seblak, dapat diterima kembali kehadirannya di tengah-tengah makanan modern. Keberterimaan tersebut tidak lain karena pelaku usaha mau terus belajar, membuat inovasi, dan melihat budaya sebagai sesuatu yang dinamis. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kebudayaan merupakan sebuah aktivitas, merupakan sebuah produk dan ide, sekaligus proses belajar.
