Through an examination of the international fate of João Guimarães Rosa’s Grande Sertão: Veredas , this essay contends that those texts that are able to enter world literature in the language in which they are originally written have a critical advantage over those that can do so only through translation.

Part of the Comparative Literature Commons, and the Critical and Cultural Studies Commons Dedicated to the dissemination of scholarly and professional information, Purdue University Press selects, develops, and distributes quality resources in several key subject areas for which its parent university is famous, including business, technology, health, veterinary medicine, and other selected disciplines in the humanities and sciences. CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture, the peer-reviewed, full-text, and open-access learned journal in the humanities and social sciences, publishes new scholarship following tenets of the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies designated as "comparative cultural studies." Publications in the journal are indexed in the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature (Chadwyck-Healey), the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (Thomson Reuters ISI), the Humanities Index (Wilson), Humanities International Complete (EBSCO), the International Bibliography of the Modern Language Association of America, and Scopus (Elsevier).

O freio ou frênulo labial é um dos componentes da mucosa oral que pode ser encontrado tanto na mucosa superior quanto na inferior, quando não se desenvolve corretamente, pode apresentar anomalias. É comum entre os pais e responsáveis, e até mesmo entre os profissionais da área de saúde uma certa dificuldade no manejo do frênulo labial mal inserido, bem como na abordagem de suas possíveis consequências. A medida mais comum para o manejo dessa alteração é a frenectomia, que é uma cirurgia que remove totalmente o freio labial com anormalidade, porém ainda há muito o que se estudar para indicar qual a melhor idade ou quando indicar a frenectomia. O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar literaturas que abordem sobre quando indicar a frenectomia do freio labial superior em pacientes odontopediátricos. Para isso, foram consultadas as bases de dados PubMed, Google Acadêmico, SciELO e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), utilizando o operador booleano OR para os descritores: lábio, freio labial, cirurgia bucal, odontopediatria e criança, também foi limitado um período entre 2013 e 2022 para publicação dos artigos. Foram encontrados 2049 artigos, 642 oriundos da plataforma PubMed, 412 do Google acadêmico, 469 do SciELO e 526 do Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), porém apenas 13 foram escolhidos, por oferecer riqueza de conteúdo dentro do tema. Todos os artigos que se encontravam em duplicidade ou com divergências do tema proposto, assim como as teses, as dissertações e monografias, foram excluídos deste trabalho. Além dos artigos escolhidos, dois livros de autores renomados dentro da odontologia, publicados em 2016 contribuíram para essa obra. Conforme análise realizada nos artigos e livros, observou-se grande discussão entre profissionais que tratam anomalias encontradas nos frênulos, uns defendem a realização precoce da frenectomia, enquanto outros abordam a realização da frenectomia com muita cautela. Havendo assim uma evidente necessidade de realizar mais estudos multidisciplinares, voltados para resultados referente à idade e quando deve-se indicar a realização da frenectomia labial superior em crianças.

People usually travel to foreign destinations because they are intrigued by them, be it their rich historical or cultural past, their lush landscape, or some other exotic element. This, though, was not what precipitated Priscila Uppal's 2003 trip to Brazil, a country that purportedly held no appeal whatsoever for her. Rather, the only reason the Canadian poet and novelist journeyed to South America was to meet her fugitive Brazilian mother, the mother who abandoned her and her brother as children and whom she had not seen for nearly twenty years. Uppal's impressions of Brazil are thus inevitably influenced by the fact it is the homeland of her truant maternal progenitor. Yet what makes her account of her transcontinental crossing in Projection: Encounters with My Runaway Mother so compelling is that she not only discovers she shares many personality traits with her mother and her family but also that, at times, she seems more at home in foreign Brazil than in her native land. That is, as I will attempt to show in my essay, Uppal's experiences in Brazil are profoundly complicated by her awareness that this alien and alienating country is also her ancestral homeland, problematizing the distinction between home and away. The discourse on travel writing continues to be informed by the idea that this "quasi-fictional genre" necessarily embodies a "colonial ethos" (Lisle 1, 20; see also C. Kaplan 2). As Debbie Lisle asserts in The Global Politics of Contemporary Travel Writing, "the genre has always been implicated in the political logic of Empire" (265). Or as Mary Louise Pratt declares in her influential study Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation, along with "enlightenment natural history, " travel writing helped "to produce a Eurocentered form of global or [...] 'planetary' consciousness, " which should compel politically-aware contemporary scholars to
