PUC-SP Verão 2013Jorge Amado: Brazil celebrates its master story-teller
10 August 2012
By Julia Dias Carneiro, BBC Brasil
As Brazil celebrates the centenary of his birth, Jorge Amado is remembered as one of the country's most important and best-loved writers, famous not only at home but also internationally. His vivid portrayal of his fellow countrymen and women struck a chord, and he created characters that captured the popular imagination. Amado was born in the north-eastern state of Bahia, where culture, music and religion were deeply influenced by the arrival of African slaves. His books stress Brazil's African heritage and the mixing of races that define the country' population, as positive values.
Amado wrote his first novel in 1931 and by the end of the decade his stories were being published in France. Amado's foreign success was partly boosted by his politics. He was a militant communist, which helped his work reach the Soviet Union and other countries behind the Iron Curtain. However, his politics also led him into exile in 1947. He was elected to Congress but with the Cold War, the Brazilian Communist Party was banned – and his mandate revoked. Hespent five years in Paris and Czechoslovakia with his wife, Zelia Gattai, travelling extensively and mixing in circles that included Pablo Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
Amado's earlier books portray social injustice and are heavily influenced by his political views. He wrote the first Brazilian book with a black main character in the 1930s. Other unlikely heroes for the time followed, from a prostitute to a black caretaker who contests a white professor's racist theories in university. "He brought the ordinary man from the street to the centre of the book. He establishes him as the hero of his stories, so winning over many ordinary workers as readers." says Eduardo de Assis Duarte, author of Jorge Amado: Romance in Times of Utopia. In the 1950s, after the world became aware of the crimes of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, he abandoned communism and began a new phase in writing, with more humour and less ideology.

Jorge Amado\'s early political position
Questão 18 92417
PUC- RJ 2013/1Are You A Digital Native or A Digital Immigrant?
[1] We all know that we are living in an increasingly
technologically driven world. Living here in the heart
of Silicon Valley I certainly feel it every day. In fact, I
don’t think I know a single couple in my neighborhood,
[5] other than my wife and I, who don’t work in the
technology field in some capacity. Our local companies
are Facebook, Apple, Google, Yahoo, and so many
venture capital firms that I can’t keep them straight.
But you don’t have to live in Silicon Valley to feel
[10] that the world is getting more and more technology
centered, focused, and driven. We can debate the
pros and cons of this reality but we can’t deny that
the world has changed very quickly in head spinning
ways. Two recent comments led me to finally enter
[15] the 21st century by getting a smart phone this week,
kicking and screaming.
First, I mentioned to one of my undergraduate
classes at Santa Clara University that I didn’t have
a smart phone, but rather I had a dumb phone. My
[20] phone can make and receive phone calls and that’s
about it. No email, internet, and so forth. So one of my
students looked at me in an odd and curious way, like
she was talking to someone from another planet, and
stated in a matter of fact manner, “Professor Plante,
[25] even 2nd graders have smart phones.” Ouch!
Second, I was talking with a producer at the
PBS NewsHour who wanted me to do a live interview
within a few hours of his call regarding some late
breaking news about clergy sexual abuse, which is
[30] my specialty. I was out of the office and driving my
car when he called and in a matter of fact manner
he said that he wanted to send me some important
information to my smart phone to best prepare me for
the upcoming interview. When I told him that I couldn’t
[35] receive anything since I had a dumb phone and not a
smart phone, there was a long silence. He then said
he’d have to just read it to me over the phone as a
Plan B. He wasn’t happy ... neither was I.
In case you haven’t noticed, the 21st century is
[40] really upon us and to live in it one really does need
to be connected in my view. Although I often consider
myself a 19th or 20th century guy trapped in the 21st
century we really do need to adapt. For most of us
we are just living in a new world that really demands
[45] comfort with and access to technology.
This notion of digital native vs. digital immigrant
makes a great deal of sense to me. Young people
in our society are digital natives. They seem to be
very comfortable with everything from iPhones to TV
[50] remotes. Digital immigrants, like me, just never feel
that comfortable with these technologies. Sure we
may learn to adapt by using email, mobile phones,
smart ones or dumb ones, Facebook, and so forth but
it just doesn’t and perhaps will never be very natural
[55] for us. It is like learning a second language ... you can
communicate but with some struggle.
This has perhaps always been true. I remember
when I was in graduate school in the 1980s trying to
convince my grandparents that buying a telephone
[60] answering machine as well as a clothes dryer would
be a good idea. They looked at me like I was talking
in another language or that I was from another planet.
Perhaps we have a critical period in our lives for
technology just like we do for language. When we are
[65] young we soak up language so quickly but find it so
much harder to learn a new language when we are
older. The same seems to be true for technology.
So, this week I bought my first smart phone and
am just learning to use it. When questions arise, I turn
[70] to my very patient teenage son for answers. And when
he’s not around, I just look to the youngest person
around for help.
So, what about you? Are you a digital native or
a digital immigrant and how does it impact your life?
