UEMA 2012Not far from the tree
By Mariana de Viveiros
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. So, the son of a circus performer is likely to be also an artist himself. 12-year-old Matheus Felipe Jesus Silva was born in the circus. That is, ever since he was a baby, he’s lived in a trailer (a mobile home pulled by a car or a truck). His mother is a ballet dancer at CircoSpacial, where Matheus himself is also a performer since the age of 3. He started doing presentations with clowns and nowadays he is a trapeze artist (just like his dad, who works in Europe), equilibrist and acrobat.
As the circus travels all over Brazil, Matheus changes schools very often. He studies in the morning, has rehearsals in the afternoon and, at weekends, he performs in the circus ring. He says that this routine doesn’t disturb his studies and he wants to graduate in Physical Education. “But I want to work in the circus forever.” On account of the mobility of his life and his outgoing nature, Matheus makes new friends wherever he goes and keeps in touch with them through the internet. “Kids think that I have a peculiar way of life and come to the circus to watch my show,” he adds. On his days off, he likes to go to the movies, to the mall and to shows. Read on to see his favorite film, book, CD and website.

The Betrayal of the American Man by Susan Faludi, William Morrow & Co., 1999 662 pp. $27.50
Scores of men, their wives and partners, friends and kin, and the sharks that have exploited them come alive through Faludi’s keen reporting. The men she writes about are presented as prototypes of the generation of baby-boomer men who have experienced layoffs, broken promises of upard mobility, the Vietnam War, meaningless work, and new definitions of “what it means to be a man” in contemporary America. A further “cause” of their plight, she writes, is the emphasis on celebrity in American culture. The narratives in Faludi’s book are woven through with themes of loss and the substitution of superficial values for the “real” values of meaningful work.
Faludi asserts that many men today feel “shipwrecked” in a service economy, but that this is only the start of their troubles. Victims of downsizing and de-skilling, they no longer play breadwinner roles in their families and develop difficulties in their marriages. In some cases, wives they once supported now support them.
Through this book she hopes to make men conscious of their condition and to encourage them to mobilize in ways approximating the women’s movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This is a commendable task, but it is doubtful whether men will either accept its premises or identify with the individuals Faludi refers to in making her case.

Unit-AL Medicina 1° Dia 2019/1TEXTO:
Bizarre tales of people cooking, wandering
outdoors, and even driving around while fast asleep
are part of a phenomenon known as somnambulism,
or sleepwalking. While your natural inclination might
[5] be to wake up someone who is fumbling around in a
daze, it’s commonly thought that this could be
dangerous.
Dr. Mark Mahowald, a sleep specialist at Stanford
University, says that, while it wouldn’t necessarily hurt
[10] to try to wake a sleepwalker, it’s notoriously difficult to
rouse them in this state. Rousing a sleepwalking person,
especially vigorously, might confuse or distress them
temporarily. Disoriented, they may strike out at anyone
close. “Best thing you can do is turn them around and
[15] send them back to bed. It is not likely that a sleepwalker
when woken up suddenly will have a cardiac event. It
is no different from when a person sleeping normally is
suddenly awakened by, say, a loud noise. The important
thing is to protect a sleepwalker from themselves.
[20] While still somewhat stigmatized, sleepwalking
is incredibly common. Actually, between 1 percent
and 15 percent of the United States population
sleepwalks, and almost all children have had
sleepwalking episodes, according to The National Sleep
[25] Foundation.”Sleepwalking is part of the human
condition,” Mahowald said. “It is absolutely not
associated with psychiatric disorders.”
People who sleepwalk tend to have no memory
of the episode, Mahowald explained. This is
[30] because the behaviors take place without conscious
awareness — they originate from the brain’s central
pattern generator, where the neural pathways for
learned and heavily practiced movements are stored.
For this reason, you won’t find a sleepwalker playing
[35] the piano if that person has no prior musical training or
speaking a language they don’t already know, he said.
