drug use and especially overdose and death are extremely high in the immediate period after release due to high rates of relapse and lower opioid tolerance (Farrell and Marsden, 2008). Much still needs to be done in order to ensure that people with a severe history of drug use are sufficiently cared for when released from prisons. Harm-reduction measures need to be in place for ex-prisoners to be able to readjust to freedom without relapsing back into drug use and to prevent the extreme risk of fatal overdose when released. The EU project ‘My first 48h out’ aims to address the gaps in continuity of care for long-term drug users in prison and upon release, by supporting life-saving interventions for the prevention of overdoses and the reduction of other risks related to drug use, and for the establishment

  • Apresentação Do Número 12
    Apresentação iii Apresentação O presente número da revista, como de praxe, é composto pelas seções de literatura/cultura, lingüística e tradução e resenhas, num total de 11 trabalhos e 220 páginas. Dentre os diversos ensaios apresentados, percebe-se um eixo em torno do qual se organizam as diferentes abordagens, a saber, o enfoque dialógico entre culturas e campos do saber. A literatura dialoga com a ética, o cinema, a lingüística e a imagologia. De forma paralela, os trabalhos no campo da lingüística, tradução e resenhas privilegiam o aspecto contrastivo e cognitivo com a implícita preocupação e relação com a cultura. Goethe, no ano em que se comemoram os 200 anos de publicação do Fausto I, é tema de dois trabalhos na seção de literatura/cultura. O artigo de Gilberto PINHEIRO PASSOS, ao elaborar um estudo intercultural, explora a recorrência do tema faústico em romances de Machado de Assis. Seu enfoque não se restringe a fazer um inventário das ocorrências da personagem ou das menções da obra de Goethe no autor brasileiro, mas aponta em que medida a procura incessante do protagonista goethiano é transfigurada por Machado para representar um Brasil em transformação. Nesse sentido, é especialmente interessante a análise feita sobre a relação do Fausto com o último romance de Machado, Memorial de Aires. Já o trabalho de Eloá HEISE, também dedicado a Goethe, elabora uma análise comparativa intracultural, ou seja, compara o “Prólogo no céu” do Fausto I de Goethe e o prólogo da peça de Brecht, A boa alma de Sezuan. Como resultado dessa contraposição, a autora afirma que Brecht produz uma paródia do texto goethiano e lança mão de um dos artifícios característicos da literatura do século XX.
