Papers by Emanuel D M Pimenta
La composition musicale Katachi est une réflexion non verbale sur l'identité et la liberté - dans ce cas, la "liberté négative", qui est à la base du vieux proverbe : la liberté de l'un va aussi loin que commence celle de l'autre. Pimenta déclare : « Comme pour la liberté, personne n'a le droit de détruire ou d'offenser une identité, que ce soit par une dictature, une guerre ou une invasion silencieuse. La seule façon acceptable pour quelqu'un de modifier son identité d'une manière ou d'une autre est l'apprentissage libre et l'amour. Chaque fois que cela se produit, il n'y a pas d'intention et la relation devient liberté. C'est le sens ultime de la paix, dont l'origine étymologique dans les langues latines signifie 'pacte'".
The musical composition Katachi is a non-verbal reflection about identity and liberty - in this case "negative liberty", which is the basis of the old proverb: one's liberty goes as far as another's begins. Pimenta says: “As with liberty, no one has the right to destroy or offend an identity, whether through a dictatorship, a war or a silent invasion. The only acceptable way for someone to change his or her identity in some way is through free learning and love. Whenever this happens, there is no intention and the relationship becomes liberty. That is the ultimate meaning of peace, whose etymological origin in the Romance languages means 'pact'".
A composição musical Katachi é uma reflexão não verbal sobre a identidade e a liberdade - neste caso a "liberdade negativa", que está na base do antigo provérbio: a liberdade de um vai até onde começa a do outro. Pimenta diz: "Tal como acontece com a liberdade, ninguém tem o direito de destruir ou de ofender uma identidade, seja através de uma ditadura, de uma guerra ou de uma invasão silenciosa. A única forma aceitável de alguém mudar de alguma a sua identidade é através da aprendizagem livre e do amor. Sempre que isso acontece, não há intenção e ambas a relação se transforma em liberdade. Esse é o sentido último da paz, cuja origem etimológica nas línguas latinas significa 'pacto'".
La composición musical Katachi es una reflexión no verbal sobre la identidad y la libertad, en este caso la «libertad negativa», que es la base del viejo proverbio: la libertad de uno llega hasta donde empieza la de otro. Pimenta afirma: «Al igual que ocurre con la libertad, nadie tiene derecho a destruir u ofender una identidad, ya sea mediante una dictadura, una guerra o una invasión silenciosa. La única forma aceptable de que alguien cambie su identidad de alguna manera es mediante el aprendizaje libre y el amor. Cuando esto ocurre, no hay intención y la relación se convierte en libertad. Ése es el significado último de la paz, cuyo origen etimológico en las lenguas latinas significa 'pacto'".

Portanto, não se trata de um texto convencional, no sentido acadêmico do termo.
O texto toca ainda questões como a manipulação política, a natureza lógica das ideologias e das religiões, assim como da liberdade.
O projeto, no seu todo, é uma celebração à mulher, em todos os tempos e lugares, e constitui uma chave para a melhor compreensão de questões essenciais no início do século XXI.
Non si tratta quindi di un testo convenzionale nel senso accademico del termine.
Il testo tocca anche temi come la manipolazione politica, la natura logica delle ideologie e delle religioni ed anche della libertà.
Il progetto nel suo complesso è una celebrazione delle donne in tutti i tempi e in tutti i luoghi e rappresenta una chiave per comprendere meglio questioni essenziali all'inizio del XXI secolo.
Thus, it is not about a conventional text in the academic sense of the term.
The text also touches on topics such as political manipulation, the logical nature of ideologies and religions, and even of liberty.
The project as a whole is a celebration of women in all times and places and is a key to better understanding essential issues at the beginning of the 21st century.
Alla fine del 2023, Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta ha pubblicato un libro intitolato Svizzera - il Sogno della Ragione, Pace e Libertà. Il libro è una testimonianza di oltre 35 anni di lavoro e di vita in Svizzera, svelandone la struttura politica, la storia, il comportamento, la cultura, i miti e così via.
L'obiettivo del libro è quello di fornire alle persone in generale una visione più chiara del paese.
Il libro include un breve frammento (solo 150 foto) di un saggio fotografico sulla Svizzera durato 35 anni. Questo saggio fotografico non è incluso nel libro pubblicato su Academia.edu.
Un'ipotesi è che il futuro del pianeta, in pace e libertà, possa trovare idee chiave nella storia della Svizzera.
