Melting Pot

imposing, and frightening than even Mildred Bonk, and he and Mildred Bonk and tiny incontinent Harriet Bonk-Green lived just off the Allston Spur in a shiny housetrailer with another frightening couple and with Tommy Doocey, the infamous harelipped pot-and-sundries dealer who kept several large snakes in unclean uncovered aquaria, which smelled, which Tommy Doocey didn't notice because his upper lip completely covered his nostrils and all he could smell was lip. Mildred Bonk got high in…

confrontados com as perguntas dos seus colegas negros nas escolas que frequentavam, punham essas mesmas perguntas aos pais. O que é que nós somos afinal? Cape Verdean não é raça. Nesse enorme cadinho que constituía a sociedade americana, um "melting pot" onde na realidade os diferentes elementos não só não se misturavam, como viviam numa contiguidade que era tudo menos pacífica, a pergunta assumia formas dramáticas.— Man, what are you?— I'm Cape Verdean.— Yeah, but what's that,…

de Franz Boas levaram Locke a perfilhar a defesa de um pluralismo cultural e a professar o conceito de relativismo cultural. O pluralismo cultural, no contexto da sociedade americana, opunha-se à noção de cultura como amálgama resultante do “melting pot”, uma vez que tal paradigma excluía os afro-americanos e outros grupos distintos. O relativismo cultural, por sua vez, reivindicava a paridade das diferentes culturas e rejeitava a hierarquia do Darwinismo Social que havia…

clearing that gleamed orange color. A flag fluttered. Other regiments floundered up the bank. The brigade was formed in line of battle, and after a pause started slowly through the woods in the rear of the receding skirmishers, who were continually melting into the scene to appear again farther on. They were always busy as bees, deeply absorbed in their little combats. The youth tried to observe everything. He did not use care to avoid trees and branches, and his forgotten feet were…

uma crise psicológica. Talvez seja a esta crise que se torna necessário relacionar a aparição da própria psicanálise. O sublime acaso do gênio não explica talvez sozinho que isto aconteça em Viena – nessa altura centro de um Estado que era o melting pot das formas familiares mais diversas, das mais arcaicas às mais evoluídas, [...] – que um filho do patriarcado judeu tenha imaginado o Complexo de Édipo (LACAN, 1987, p. 62). Aqui, Lacan afirma claramente sua tese do nascimento…

the wind, raced across the moors sensing something was awry at Grandmother's house." Wow! Page 132 In my daydreams, I wrote novels about my life: "Leil, her braces gleaming in the sunshine, bounded into the house smelling that Mother had let a pot boil over on the stove." Well, my turning off the stove was not such a big feat as Nancy Drew's bounding off to solve a crime, but it was my life, therefore exciting to me. Everyone feels the same way. As your Quarry is brushing his teeth…

looked as surprised as she felt. “I am, quite,” Jem said. “The Silent Brothers were of great assistance.” He reached to pour himself a cup of tea, and Tessa watched the bones and tendons move in his thin wrist, distressingly visible. When he set the pot down, she reached for his hand beneath the table, and he clasped it. His slim fingers wound about hers reassuringly. Bridget’s voice floated out from the kitchen. “Cold blows the wind tonight, sweetheart, Cold are the drops of rain;…

da nação. Talvez pelo fato de ambas as “Américas” se constituírem como “jovens-nações” do século XVI a XVIII em torno de um imaginário de um vasto território acolhedor de uma diversidade de culturas, um imenso continente que funciona como um melting pot de vários conteúdos, em que a religião cumpriu o papel de veículo dessa agregação (Bellah, 1974, Bercovith, 1988: 141-58, Sanchis, 1995). Ou seja, a idéia de que a “religião”, ao contrário da situação do sudeste asiático, em que é…
