Brazilian Bilingual Book Club | Jorge Amado |Tieta Do Agreste BRAZILIAN BILINGUAL BOOK CLUB | JORGE AMADO | TIETA DO AGRESTE | 16th AUGUST 2018, 18.30-21.00 2018 – The year of reading Brazilian Literary Greats & unlocking the power of our minds! JORGE AMADO (1912-2001) Tieta do Agreste (1977) translated into English as Tieta (1981, 2003) The subheading ofTieta do Agreste offers a snippet view of the way the story is told: ‘the goat shepherdess or the return of the prodigal daughter, in a melodramatic feuilleton in five sentimental episodes and a stirring epilogue: Emotion and suspense!’ Longest racy, bawdy, laughter-inducing and politically incorrect novel by Jorge Amado with blended story-telling styles: From the medieval morality plays to the traditional Brazilian Cordel oral literature, the picaresque Brazilian and foreign novels and piquant Brazilian soap operas. 1 What is the symbolism of the nanny goat in the novel? Only goats in the story: kids, does and nannies but no sheep or rams! Has Jorge Amado covertly secreted rituals of animal sacrifice from his religion the Candomblé – the sacrificial nanny goat Tieta? The underbelly of rural Bahia with a cast of stereotypical and colourful characters: ruthless entrepreneurs, randy teenagers, underage sex-workers, corrupt politicians and clergy; incestuous wickedness, unhappy old women, money-obsessed relatives, a voyeuristic narrator and a shameless harlot, at times disguised as an honourable wife, turned into a money-making madam in a big city. Discover the paradise-like Mangue Seco beach near the state of Sergipe with its white sand dunes and coconut trees, the state of Bahia as a highly sophisticated industrial hub with one of the largest and very green hydroelectric plants, and a bit of green campaigning regarding Titanium*. Enjoy and laugh out loud! Or speculate: Could it be a garrulous caricature by an aging and biased Bahian patriarch trying to be excessively hip? * Despite the long narrative, the author fails to explain what titanium, a very versatile metal, and titanium dioxide are. It is a white powder with high opacity and brilliant whiteness, used as a pigment and opacifier for a broad range of applications in paints, plastic goods, inks and paper and used in many white or coloured products, including food, cosmetics, UV skin protection products, ceramics and rubber products. Titanium dioxide has low toxicity unless inhaled continuously and its wastes are highly regulated. Brazil is currently one of the largest producers of titanium dioxide.

The novel was published on 17th August 1977; the first edition run was of one hundred and twenty thousand copies and the second fifty thousand in the same month. It was illustrated by the artist and engraver Calasans Neto (1932-2006). The text of twenty-third edition was revised as a definitive text by the author’s daughter Paloma Jorge Amado and Pedro Costa. The novel contains five episodes or sections. It starts with a typical cordel structure and the wood engravings featured in the first edition illustrate the reference to this traditional type of oral literature. The oral poetry is published in chapbooks illustrated by some very talented engravers. It also contains headings which remind us of the medieval autos sacramentales, morality plays, which came to Brazil with the Portuguese and have been performed since then. The Christian religious tradition is subverted tough from the outset as instead of sheep, there are goats. In the translation into English, nanny, buck and kid goats are shiftily translated as ram and goat. Goats are very relevant animals for the Candomblé religion, which the author practiced throughout his life. Some of the passages also remind us of the 18th and 19th century English and European picaresque novels. One could speculate that the author also imparted a script-like text in certain sections, mindful of possible future adaptations for television as a soap-opera. The novel is set in Mangue Seco, a small fishing village and beach in the town of Jandaíra, the last beach along the coast of the state of Bahia on the border of the state of Sergipe. Sant'Ana do Agreste is a fictional town in the novel. 3 The word agreste, which is contained in the title, is relevant and often misunderstood. This word has the meaning of rural, rustic, country bumpkin or uncouth individual and in Brazil it has an additional meaning. It refers to a narrow zone of Brazil (see map below in purple no. 3) between the Atlantic Forest (Zona da Mata) and sertão . The narrow zone stretches from the states of Rio Grande do Norte to Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe and Bahia. It tapers as it reaches Rio Grande do Norte. There is significant rainfall in the agreste with fertile soils and many deciduous trees. Its flora is very particular and important. There are various partnerships between the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew and the Brazilian North-eastern Plant Association and other bodies since 1992. http://static1.kew.org/science/tropamerica/pne.htm http://static1.kew.org/science/tropamerica/pneprogrammes.htm The Subregions of Northeast Brazil 1 • Meio-norte, 2 • Sertão, 3 • Agreste, 4 • Zona da Mata The translation into English as Tieta is by Barbara Shelby (1932-2014), published by the Souvenir Press Ltd in London in 1981, reprinted in Abacus by Sphere Press Ltd in London in 1982 and reprinted again in 2003 by the University of Wisconsin Press in Maddison. The subtitle was rendered as The Goat Girl, or The Return of The Prodigal Daughter, A Melodramatic Serial Novel in Five Sensational Episodes with a Touching Epilogue: Thrills and Suspense! The words cabrita and bode were translated variously, as mentioned above. Certainly, there are no sheep, lambs or rams in the original. Also by translating pastora de cabras as ‘goat girl’, an important component and a reference were missed. A younger reader may confuse it with the GOAT meme – ‘Greatest Of All Times’ or the like. Pastoras or pastorinhas are part of the Brazilian folklore for Christmas festivities dating back to medieval Portuguese shepherd songs for the nativity cycle, which migrated to Brazil. Girls or women dressed in red and blue line up and sing and perform. Painting by Sérgio Pompêo - As Pastorinhas: Fé, Esperança e Caridade (The little shepherdesses: Faith, hope and Charity) 4 Barbara Shelby grew up in New Jersey, USA. She attended the University of Texas at Austin and worked in cultural exchange for the United States Information Agency in Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru and Washington DC, with short postings at the United Nations, Belgium, Zaire, and Tunisia from 1960 to 1987. Barbara Shelby translated twelve books by Brazilian authors: Jorge Amado, Gilberto Freyre, Antonio Callado, João Guimarães Rosa and Dom Helder Camara for Alfred A. Knopf and other publishers. Barbara Shelby (1977) She married Agustin Merello, an Argentine national in 1976. The couple retired to Austin, Texas, in 1987, were linked to programmes at the University of Texas. Barbara also taught at the LBJ Library for ten years. The couple travelled widely, visiting Agustin's family in Argentina, the North American Institute in Barcelona, of which Barbara had been a director, her small medieval house in Talamanca in Spain, and the market town of Tregaron in Wales, from which her ancestor Evan Shelby emigrated for the USA in 1735. The novel has also been published in German, Slovenian, Spanish, French, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, and Czech. Tieta do Agreste was adapted for the Globo Television Network by Aguinaldo Silva (1943- ) broadcast from 1989 to 1990. In 1996, Tieta was made into a film by Cacá Diegues (1940- ). Various cordel thematic adaptations of the novel have been created since its publication. SHORT BIOGRAPHY JORGE AMADO (10th August 1912 – 6th August 2001) 5 Image from the Exhibition of Jorge Amado’s and Zélia Gattai’s ‘A Casa do Rio Vermelho’ at the Shopping Iguatemi, Salvador in Bahia. Jorge Amado became a popular best-seller Brazilian writer with works translated into 48 languages; a best seller surpassed only Paulo Coelho (1947- ). His books about Bahian life became very popular and have disseminated a view and image of one of the states of Brazil, Bahia, often inadvertently conflated with Brazil, throughout the world. Jorge Leal Amado de Faria, the eldest son of Colonel João Amado de Faria and Eulália Leal, was born at the family cocoa farm Auricídia in town of Itabuna on the 10th August 1912. He attended the Jesuit College, Colégio Antônio Vieira, and Ginásio Ipiranga in Salvador and read law at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He married Matilde Garcia Rosa (1913- 1986) and they had one daughter (deceased at 15) in 1933, but separated in 1944, and he lived with a writer, Zélia Gattai (1945- 2001), of Italian descent from São Paulo (1916-2008) from 1945; they married in 1978 and had two children.

    (DOI): 10.5777/PAeT.V4.N1.03 This article is presented in Portuguese and English with “resumen“ in Spanish. Brazilian Journal of Applied Technology for Agricultural Science, v. 4, n.1, p. 45-64, 2011. Scientific paper Variability in number of rainy days Abstract in state of Sergipe – SE Among the many factors that affect human activities, mainly Emerson Ricardo Rodrigues Pereira1 agriculture, the climate is distinguished by its decisive Joherlan Campos de Freitas2 influence on the variations presented by the irregularities in the dry and wet periods in the given region. Among the Antonio Ricardo Santo de Andrade3 variables that make up the climate, especially for annual Veneziano Guedes de Sousa4 crops, rain is the variable that most affects the result of crop production. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the variability of rainfall data for the State of Sergipe, SE, through the preparation of maps of the average number of rainy days, and the coefficients of variation (CV) of rainfall and the number of rainy days for annual periods, dry and rainy. In this work it was used the series of monthly total rainfall of 40 rainfall stations with at least 30 years of data, continuous and seamless. We found that the highest values of the coefficient of variation are associated with lower levels of rainfall and number of rainy days. The variability of rainfall is lower in regions with rainy periods, when compared to dry periods. Key word: variation coefficient, rainy day, dry and wet periods. Introduction Kendall test, SILVA (2004) observed significantly decreasing tendencies in several places of this Rainfall is one of the most important variables region.

BOGATAY 1969 THE DEVELOPMENT SETTING: NORTHEAST BRAZIL and , INDUSTRIALIZATION IN THE NORTHEAST Two Chapters from the Research Report Market Processes in the Recife Area of Northeast Brazil Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Department of Agricultural Economics Michigan State University February 1969 Alan F. Bogatay Foreword In October 1966 I joined the field research team of Michigan State University in Recife, Brazil. This team was then initiating a large-scale study of market processes in Northeast Brazil. The two primary objectives of the study were: 1) to analyze the role of marketing systems in economic development, and 2) to determine what reforms in market processes could accelerate economic growth. The study was financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development and executed as a combined effort of the Latin American Market Planning and Latin American Food Study Centers of Michigan State University. The Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (SUDENE) provided Brazilian counterpart technicians and local support for the research project. The research team attached considerable importance to the particular characteristics of the developing society in which it was operating. The economic and cultural setting peculiar to Northeast Brazil heavily influenced the design of the research as well as the nature of the recommendations which resulted from the research. Moreover, in order to effectively communicate the results of the study to the Brazilian technicians and decision-makers with an interest in it, the research had to be placed in the context of development policies and programs operative in Northeast Brazil.

  • God, the Devil, and Development in Northeast Brazil
    God, the Devil, and Development in Northeast Brazil * ANTHONY W. PEREIRA Glauber Rocha's 1964 film “God and the Devil in the Land of the Sun” (Deus e Diabo na Terra do Sol) memorably portrays the harshness and brutality of the lives of a poor family in Brazil's Northeast, the country's most afflicted region. Cheated and beaten by his landowning employer, a cattle herder persuades his wife to join him in becoming a member of a fanatical religious sect led by a messianic leader. Mesmerized by the leader's words, the humble couple consents to the bloody sacrifice of their infant son. Later rejecting the sect, the cattle herder abandons his wife and joins a band of outlaws (cangaceiros) who attack, pillage, and destroy the farms and ranches of big landowners. Violence, Rocha seems to suggest, is a recurring response to the misery and oppression of poverty in the Northeast. Advocated both by self-anointed people of God and irreligious bandits, violence is a popular cry of anger and despair of the rural poor. Its repeated occurrence, feared by many and hoped for by others, permeates social relations in the region. The struggle to find a peaceful path to development, to the fulfillment of the minimal material aspirations of the majority of the region's people, is still occurring in the Northeast.
