Memory, Authenticity, and (the Absence of) Ruins: Resonances between Werner Herzog and John Akomfrah
This essay engages in a contrapuntal reading of John Akomfrah's Testament (1988) and Werner Herzog's Cobra Verde (1987), considering their respective strategies of dealing with issues of memory and identity. This way of reading the two filmmakers' works reveals unexpected angles of both films through juxtapositions that may illuminate in a new way the objects of comparison—not in their absolute irreducibility or untranslatability but rather in their most resonant moments. In particular, I explore how Akomfrah's film, in contrast to Herzog's historical fiction, addresses the memories of individuals and the traces left unacknowledged in their lived experiences.

Deslocalizações pós-coloniais
O texto parte de uma narrativa familiar, eurocêntrica, acerca da apropriação da ‘cultura’ e da arte ‘primitiva’ africana no contexto do modernismo europeu, para indagar o modo como esta apropriação e os conceitos em que se fundou foram legitimados através de dispositivos discursivos que uma perspectiva pós-colonial tem vindo a questionar. Associando a deslocação que um tal abordagem introduz em conceitos como os de ‘progresso’, modernidade, e ‘Ocidente’, aborda-se ainda a relevância destes questionamentos para questões de migração, identidade e pertença na Europa pós-colonial, recorrendo-se, para o efeito, ao trabalho de artistas contemporâneos que desestabilizam as distinções claras entre a Europa e os seus ‘outros’, ao mesmo tempo que desafiam abordagens ainda predominantes ao passado colonial.

Book Review
Evaluation of the Oxidative Status of Salami Packaged with an Active Whey Protein Film
Active packaging aims to prolong food’s shelf-life by directly interacting with the packaged food. This type of packaging is characterized by having the active agent incorporated into the package polymer, such as antioxidant additives, that will gradually migrate from the package polymer to the packed food and, consequently, delay food’s natural lipid oxidation. In this study, the efficiency of an active whey protein film incorporated with a rosemary extract on retarding the lipid oxidation of salami slices was evaluated. The lipid oxidation of the salami was measured by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay and hexanal monitorization. Also, a sensory analysis on the salami packaged for 60 and 90 days was performed. The active film was able to delay the salami’s lipid oxidation for, at least, 30 days. The samples packaged with the active film revealed a bitter taste related to the rosemary extract and a bit sweet from the WP and the glycerol.
