Έχει περάσει περισσότερο από ένας αιώνας από τότε, που ο Χαρίλαος Τρικούπης, Πρωθυπουργός της Ελλάδας οραματίστηκε τη κατασκευή μιας γέφυρας, η οποία θα ένωνε την δυτική Πελοπόννησο με την ηπειρωτική Ελλάδα, το Ρίο με το Αντίρριο. Την εποχή εκείνη, τα τρία χιλιόμετρα θάλασσας, που μεσολαβούσαν μεταξύ των δυο πόλεων, φάνταζαν αδύνατο να γεφυρωθούν. Οι δυσκολίες ήταν πάρα πολλές και η τεχνογνωσία δεν είχε ακόμη φτάσει σε τέτοια επίπεδα, έτσι ώστε να δώσει πνοή σ’ αυτό το μεγαλόπνοο όραμα. Άλλωστε το σχέδιο φάνταζε πολύ ακριβό για τις οικονομικές δυνατότητες της χώρας μας εκείνης της εποχής. Παρ’ όλα αυτά το σχέδιο δεν εγκαταλήφθηκε ποτέ. Μελέτες γίνονταν συνέχεια με σκοπό να ληφθούν υπόψη όλες οι παράμετροι, όπως η σεισμικότητα της περιοχής, το εξαιρετικά μεγάλο βάθος του θαλάσσιου χώρου, η πιθανότητα δημιουργίας παλιρροϊκών κυμάτων μετά από ένα σεισμό, τα ασταθή υλικά που αποτελούσαν το πυθμένα της θάλασσας, η απομάκρυνση των τεκτονικών πλακών στον Κορινθιακό κόλπο, τα ισχυρά ρεύματα, οι άνεμοι και άλλα, που αποτελούσαν τροχοπέδη για τη δημιουργία της γέφυρας. Τελικά, στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 90’, μια γαλλοελληνική σύμπραξη, αποτελούμενη από όμιλο εταιριών και από τις δυο χώρες, ανέλαβε τη σχεδίαση και κατασκευή της γέφυρας. Τα έργα ξεκίνησαν τον Ιούλιο του 1998 υπό την επίβλεψη και καθοδήγηση του αρχιτέκτονα Berdj Mikaelian. Η κατασκευή της γέφυρας αναμένετο να ολοκληρωθεί το χρονικό διάστημα μεταξύ Σεπτεμβρίου και Νοεμβρίου του 2004, άλλα οι εργασίες επισπεύθηκαν ένεκα των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων, που θα λάβαιναν χώρα στην Αθήνα την ίδια χρονιά. Έτσι η γέφυρα παραδόθηκε στο κοινό στις 7 Αυγούστου του 2004, με την Ολυμπιακή φλόγα να την διασχίζει με κατεύθυνση την Αθήνα. Η γέφυρα θεωρήθηκε ως ένα θαύμα της σύγχρονης μηχανικής και όλα τα απαραίτητα μέτρα είχαν ληφθεί για την άρτια λειτουργία της. Παρ’ όλα αυτά στις 27 Ιανουαρίου του 2005, έξι μόλις μήνες μετά τα εγκαίνια, ένας κεραυνός έπληξε ένα από τα καλώδια στήριξης, τα οποία ενώνουν το κατάστρωμα της γέφυρας με τους πυλώνες. Ο κεραυνός έπληξε το ψηλότερο καλώδιο διαμέτρου 25cm, στη νοτιοδυτική πλευρά της γέφυρας, πάνω από το ii άνοιγμα των 286 μέτρων, κοντά στη περιοχή του Ρίου. Το υψηλής περιεκτικότητας σε πολυαιθυλένιο καλώδιο τυλίχτηκε στις φλόγες με αποτέλεσμα να καταστραφεί ολοσχερώς και να καταρρεύσει στο καταστρώμα. Όλες οι απαραίτητες ενέργειες έγιναν ταχύτατα, έτσι ώστε να αντικατασταθεί το καλώδιο και να παραδοθεί η γέφυρα και πάλι στη κυκλοφορία το συντομότερο δυνατό. Όμως πλέον ήταν φανερό ότι η αντικεραυνική προστασία της γέφυρας δεν ήταν αρκετή και αποτελεσματική. Στη συνέχεια του κειμένου θα γίνει ανάλυση του παραπάνω συμβάντος, αφού πρώτα γίνει αναφορά σε κάποιες βασικές αρχές γύρω από το φαινόμενο του κεραυνού και των συστημάτων αντικεραυνικής προστασίας. Συγκεκριμένα ακολουθούν πέντε κεφάλαια : I. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται μια εισαγωγή στο φυσικό φαινόμενο του κεραυνού και τις διάφορες παραμέτρους του. II. Το κεφάλαιο 2 αναφέρεται στον ορισμό του συστήματος αντικεραυνικής προστασίας. III. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται παρουσίαση της ακίδας του Franklin. IV. Το τέταρτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζει τα συστήματα αντικεραυνικής προστασίας πρώιμης εκπομπης (ESE) και γίνεται σύγκριση με την ακίδα του Franklin . V. Στο πέμπτο και τελευταίο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται το κεραυνικό πλήγμα στη γέφυρα. Γίνεται παρουσίαση της εφαρμογής ακίδων Franklin στο ΣΑΠ της γέφυρας και βελτίωσης αυτού. / More than a century has passed, since Charilaos Trikoupis, Prime Minister of Greece had contemplated the construction of a bridge that would connect western Peloponnese with the mainland of Greece, the city of Rion with Antirio. Back then, the three kilometers of sea water which separated the two cities, seemed impossible to be bridged. The difficulties were many and the know how had not reached that level, where it would make a great vision such as this, possible. Besides the project seemed extremely expensive for the country’s economic potential at that time. Despite all this, the project was never abandoned. Studies were made repeatedly, in order to take under consideration all the parameters, like the seismic activity of the area, the extraordinary depth of the sea, the possibility of a tsunami after an earthquake, the unstable materials that constituted the bottom of the sea, the movement of the tectonic plates in the Corinthian gulf away from one another, the strong currents, winds etc. All these factors acted as a brake for the construction of the bridge. Eventually, in the mid 90s, a greek-french collaboration, composed by a group of companies from both countries, took over the design and the building of the bridge. Construction works started in July of 1998 under the supervision and guidance of the architect Berdj Mikaelian. The construction of the bridge was expected to be completed during the period of September to November of 2004, but works were accelerated because of the Olympic games that would take place in Athens, that same year. Therefore the bridge was revealed to the public on the 7th of August 2004, with the Olympic Flame crossing it, on the way to Athens. The bridge was considered to be a miracle of modern mechanics and all the necessary measures were taken for its perfect operation. However, on January 27 of 2005, just six months after the opening of the bridge, a lightning stroke cut down one of the longest stay cables that connected the deck of the bridge to the pylons. The lightning struck the top 25cm diameter cable in the southwest fan of stays over the 286m span nearest Rion. The high density polyethylene cable was set on fire, and as a result of that the cable was completely iv destroyed and fell on the deck. All the necessary means were taken, in order to replace the cable and get traffic back on the bridge as soon as possible. It was obvious at that point that the lightning protection of the bridge was neither sufficient or effective enough. There are five chapters following: I. In the first chapter there is an introduction to the natural phenomenon of lightning and its characteristics II. The second chapter gives a definition of the lightning protection system of a structure III. In the third chapter, the Franklin rod is presented IV. The fourth chapters refers to the early streamer emission systems and compares them with the Franklin rod V. In the fifth and final chapter there is an analysis of the lightning incident on the bridge. The installation of Franklin rods on the lightning system of the bridge is presented, alongside with an enhancement of the protection.

We will analyze the work of Joao Antonio Barros (Jotabarros) and Franklin Machado (Maxado Nordestino), migrant poets who moved to and lived in São Paulo in the 1970s and 1980s, and their articulation with this new urban space. Cordel literature is seen as both traditional and dynamic, as it is shaped by the past and the changing dynamics of the fragmented societies where it is produced. Thus, it undergoes a constant process of re-invention, as writers reflect their current reality while at the same time attempting to reconnect with their roots. Barros and Machado rearrange their relation with the past in response to a challeging present, and this study will look at the impact of migration on their voices and verses. / O presente trabalho objetiva analisar como a literatura de cordel se apresenta no espaço multicultural da migração. Compreendemos a cidade de São Paulo como palco no qual, nas décadas de 70 e 80 do século passado, os poetas migrantes João Antonio de Barros (Jotabarros) e Franklin Machado (Maxado Nordestino) expressaram, através de seus folhetos, as relações com o novo espaço. Essas produções literárias serão objetos de análise para esta dissertação. Entendemos a literatura de cordel como tradição dinâmica que ganha novos contornos nas sociedades fragmentadas, pois acreditamos que a poética nordestina é uma arte viva que, inserida na sociedade, acompanha seus produtores e se modifica com eles. O poeta migrante, ao chegar ao novo lugar, retoma suas tradições como forma de se manter ligado ao passado. Essa ação reconstroi as tradições, trazendo-as para o presente. Nossa pesquisa se propôs a demonstrar as relações com o espaço da migração através das vozes e dos versos dos poetas Jotabarros e Franklin Maxado.

Este trabalho, portanto, busca compreender de que maneira o romance O Cabeleira, publicado em 1876, pelo escritor cearense Franklin Távora, procura representar a realidade do Brasil da segunda metade do século XIX. Na perspectiva do projeto nacionalista de Távora, conhecido como Literatura do Norte, o autor pretendeu com essa obra mostrar os dilemas, as contradições e os problemas sociais existentes nas províncias. No primeiro momento, acompanhamos brevemente a trajetória familiar e o contexto social e político no qual o escritor estava inserido, bem como algumas formulações sobre o regionalismo pitoresco; em seguida, nós nos apoiamos nas concepções de sistema literário brasileiro, fornecidas por Antonio Candido, para entendermos o contexto da tradição regionalista da qual Franklin Távora faz parte; por fim, associamos a transformação do protagonista à construção estética da narrativa, considerando os aspectos românticos e naturalistas que a compõem e as suas implicações para a representação artística da realidade n’O Cabeleira. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The brazilian literature’s experience has in regionalism a peculiar way of literary representation. This work, ergo, seeks to understand in which way the novel O Cabeleira, published in 1876, by the cearense writer Franklin Távora, seeks to represent Brazil’s reality in the second half of the 19th century. In the perspective of Távora’s nationalist project, presented as Literatura do Norte (Northern Literature), the writer intended to show in O Cabeleira the dilemmas, the contradictions and the existent social issues in the provinces. At first, we briefly follow the familial path and the social and political context which the author was inserted into, as well as some formulations about the picturesque regionalism; next, we rely on the conceptions of brazilian literary system, supplied by Antonio Candido, so that we may understand the context of the regionalist tradition in which Franklin Távora is part of; lastly, we associate the protagonist’s transformation to the narrative's aesthetical construction, regarding the romantic and naturalist aspects that compose the narrative and its involvements to the artistic representation of reality in O Cabeleira.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Este trabalho realiza um estudo comparativo com as narrativas O Cabeleira, do escritor brasileiro Franklin TÃvora, e O Malhadinhas, do portuguÃs Aquilino Ribeiro, visando, principalmente, à compreensÃo do modo como se manifesta a figura do herÃi em ambas as obras. TraÃa um paralelo entre ambos os protagonistas, observando analogias e contrastes em sua construÃÃo e as relaÃÃes com o contexto sociocultural e a tradiÃÃo popular. Para tanto, considera os seguintes aspectos: a proposta literÃria dos dois autores; a presenÃa de substratos medievais na construÃÃo dos herÃis em anÃlise, denunciando, em ambas as narrativas, a heranÃa de uma tradiÃÃo popular que dà Ãnfase a atitudes de coragem, destemor, valentia; a presenÃa da ambiguidade ou ambivalÃncia nos dois protagonistas. Torna-se evidente em Cabeleira a tese rousseauniana do homem naturalmente bom corrompido pelo meio, mas que pode recuperar os bons sentimentos perdidos atravÃs do amor e da religiÃo. Malhadinhas, por sua vez, mostra-se um sujeito briguento e astucioso, valendo-se de mentiras e enganos para escapar de situaÃÃes embaraÃosas ou perigosas, mas, ao final, dà sinal de mudanÃas, passando mesmo a adotar um comportamento religioso, frequentando a Igreja e atribuindo à sociedade a culpa de seus erros. Podemos observar que, apesar de guardarem semelhanÃas em relaÃÃo a alguns aspectos, os herÃis diferenciam-se em outros. Dessa forma, o estudo, dividido em trÃs capÃtulos, primeiramente introduz consideraÃÃes acerca da atuaÃÃo dos escritores, da recepÃÃo crÃtica de suas obras, de suas respectivas propostas literÃrias, focalizando o regionalismo. O capÃtulo seguinte verifica a heranÃa medieval perceptÃvel nas personagens em estudo e, por fim, o Ãltimo examina a questÃo da ambivalÃncia, observando o problema do embate entre bem e mal apresentado pelos protagonistas. O trabalho visa, assim, a uma melhor compreensÃo das ideias e da produÃÃo dos autores e da sua importÃncia no quadro cultural e literÃrio em que atuaram.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta dissertaÃÃo tem por objetivo analisar a construÃÃo do herÃi regional brasileiro por meio de um estudo comparativo entre os romances O sertanejo, de Josà de Alencar, e O matuto e LourenÃo, de Franklin TÃvora. Procurou-se traÃar um paralelo entre os protagonistas das tramas citadas, observando semelhanÃas, tensÃes, contrastes e diÃlogos em suas construÃÃes, bem com refletir sobre as relaÃÃes destes com o contexto sociocultural no qual estavam inseridos, uma vez que, na tentativa de criar, de afirmar e de consolidar uma tradiÃÃo literÃria nacional, Josà de Alencar e Franklin TÃvora escreveram romances que retratavam a natureza exuberante e os aspectos socioculturais de determinadas localidades do paÃs, criando herÃis regionais condizentes com a realidade apresentada nas narrativas. Este estudo divide-se em trÃs capÃtulos: no primeiro, ressaltamos o carÃter mÃtico do herÃi e sua incidÃncia no Ãmbito literÃrio, tornando-se necessÃrio discutir a construÃÃo do herÃi romanesco, com destaque para o herÃi romÃntico e sua construÃÃo no cenÃrio nacional. No segundo, voltamos nossos olhares para a discussÃo da vertente regional na tradiÃÃo literÃria brasileira, mais especificamente, no final do perÃodo romÃntico. E, por fim, o Ãltimo aprofunda nossas discussÃes em relaÃÃo aos projetos literÃrios de cada autor, suas influÃncias na criaÃÃo desses romances e de seus respectivos herÃis, mas, especialmente, expomos o carÃter problemÃtico desses personagens. Neste sentido, este trabalho visa contribuir com os estudos relativos a essas obras e à construÃÃo de seus respectivos herÃis, trazendo à luz uma melhor compreensÃo dos romances analisados. / This dissertation has the purpose of analyzing the construction of the Brazilian regional hero by a comparative study among the novels O sertanejo, by Josà de Alencar, and O matuto and LourenÃo, by Franklin TÃvora. A parallel was drawn between the protagonists of the referred wefts, observing similarities, tensions, contrasts and dialogues in their constructions, as well as reflecting about their relations with the sociocultural context in which they are inserted. Because of attempting to create, affirm and consolidate a national literary tradition, Josà de Alencar and Franklin TÃvora wrote novels that portrayed an exuberant nature and the sociocultural aspects of certain localities of our country, creating regional heroes compatible with reality presented in narratives. This study is divided into three chapters. In the first, we emphasize the heroâs mythical character and its incidence in literary scope, what brings the necessity of discussing the novel heroâs construction, with prominence to the romantic hero and its construction in the national scenario. In the second, we discuss about regional line in the Brazilian literary tradition, more specifically, in the end of the romantic period. Finally, the last chapter deepens our discussions related to each authorâs literary projects, their influences in the creation of these novels and in their respective heroes, but, specially, we demonstrate these heroesâ problematic character. This dissertation, so, aims to better understand the novels analyzed by these two authors, contributing the studies relating to these literary works and to the construction of their respective heroes.
