- Book review: the luck factor by Richard WisemanPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias deI wonder if you are curious about luck like me. If so, I bet you’ve asked to yourself many times if luck was a genetic trait, or just a random good chance. Everybody knows what It “luck” means. Luck signifies to either have success or failure, which apparently is brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions. But is it true that luck is such a random phenomenon ? And if not, could we train ourselves to become more lucky ? And if so, how could we do it ? The book “The Luck Factor: The Scientific Study of the Lucky Mind”, that was written by Richard Wiseman, tries to answer these and other questions about luck from a scientific point of view as the book is the result of various years of scholarly research on luck. Richard Wiseman is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom, who has done considerable research for various years on why some people are more lucky then others. Wiseman was a magician before graduating in Psychology from University College London (UCL). He has a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh.

- A propósito do PIB: do crescimento para a sustentabilidadePublication . Nunes, Rui; Caetano, Fernando J. P.; Martinho, Ana PaulaO produto interno bruto (PIB) foi considerado uma das grandes invenções do século XX. As críticas que entretanto suscitou já conduziram, mais do que à formulação de complementaridades ou correcções, à proposta da sua abolição liminar. Apesar de se manter central na análise económica e definição de políticas, multiplicam-se as tentativas de afirmação de uma lógica alternativa, com a sustentabilidade como motivação e objectivo. A contestação da pretensa objectividade e auto-suficiência do PIB remete, por um lado, para a relatividade dos valores, desde logo para a designada ideologia do crescimento, e, por outro, para a escala da análise. Trata-se tanto de reconhecer a finitude dos recursos disponíveis, que compromete a ideia do crescimento infinito ou ‘sustentável’, como de convocar uma lógica sistémica que situe a economia, e, por maioria de razões, a finança, dentro da sociedade e esta dentro do ambiente

- Salammbô, les déambulations d’une oeuvre entre littérature et jeu vidéoPublication . Gonçalves, Luís Carlos PimentaS’inspirant de faits historiques survenus après la première guerre punique, Gustave Flaubert livre, en 1862, avec Salammbô une fresque haute en couleur et rejoint ainsi le thème de l’orientalisme en littérature. Alors qu’il s’opposait à l’illustration de son roman pour des raisons esthétiques, le sujet sera cependant repris par de nombreux peintres et graveurs. Le dessinateur Philippe Druillet, un peu plus d’un siècle après la publication de l’oeuvre, en livrera en 1978 une première version dans Métal Hurlant, qui se déploiera sur trois volumes au début des années 80. Reprenant le graphisme de la bande dessinée, sortira en 2003 un jeu vidéo intitulé Salammbô. Les périls de Carthage, dont nous étudierons les relations avec les oeuvres qu’il adapte selon les impératifs de la ludiégèse, qui obéissent par ailleurs au gameplay. Dans cet article, nous envisagerons les déambulations de l’oeuvre, par le biais de quelques épisodes choisis. Nous nous interrogerons sur les raisons qui font que tel personnage, tel élément, tel motif est valorisé au détriment d’un autre dans la diégèse de la bande dessiné et du jeu vidéo.
