When summer arrives in December, La Pedrera’s main street bustles with families dining al fresco, sandy-haired teenagers hanging out in board shorts, jazz musicians entertaining passers-by and artisans selling handmade jewelry on makeshift stands.
It is a lively, somewhat boisterous scene, and very concentrated. Just a few feet away in any direction the noise and lights begin to fade, replaced by the lulling sounds of the ocean and the glimmer of the Southern Cross constellation.
La Pedrera is one of a handful of seaside villages in Rocha, a rural area of eastern Uruguay that’s slowly emerging as South America’s next bohemian-chic hideaway. Insiders and locals know Rocha as a cheaper and more relaxed alternative to Punta del Este, a high-end resort town about 80 miles south, and its oh-so-fashionable neighbor, Jose Ignacio. But in some ways, Rocha is the very antithesis of the country’s more famous beach destinations. There are no luxury brands, no parking woes and no society-page shindigs.
“It’s more down-to-earth, natural and younger than Jose Ignacio or Punta,” said Brenton West, a British photographer who was traveling along the Uruguayan coast in January. “It keeps its rural charm.”

Quando chega o verão em dezembro, a rua principal de La Pedrera se alvoroça com famílias jantando ao ar livre, adolescentes de cabelo amarelado por aí em calção de surfista, músicos de jazz entretendo os transeuntes e artesãos a vender joias caseiras em bancas improvisadas.
É um cenário vívido, com algo de turbulento e bastante concentrado. No raio de apenas alguns passos em qualquer direção, o ruído e as luzes começam a diminuir, substituídos pelos sons embalantes do oceano e pelo cintilar da constelação do Cruzeiro do Sul.
La Pedrera é um dentre poucos vilarejos litorâneos de Rocha, uma área rural no leste do Uruguai que lentamente vem despontando como o próximo refúgio da América do Sul para a boemia chique. As pessoas bem informadas e os moradores locais conhecem La Rocha como alternativa mais em conta e mais relaxante tanto para Punta del Este, uma cidade-resort das mais sofisticadas a cerca de 130 km ao sul, quanto para sua tão badalada vizinha, José Ignacio. Mas em certos aspectos, Rocha é a própria antítese dos destinos praieiros mais famosos do país. Não há marcas comerciais de luxo, nem dores de cabeça para estacionar, nem festas de colunas sociais.
“É um lugar mais pé-no-chão, natural e jovial que José Ignacio ou Punta”, disse Brenton West, um fotógrafo britânico que percorria o litoral uruguaio em janeiro. “Conserva o charme rural”.

Detailed field: Philosophy | Source text - English
From his [Rorty's] point of view, the howls of outrage that his claim tends to elicit - the accusations of inviting cognitive irresponsibility, severing our connections to the world, undercutting the distinction between true claims and merely fashionable ones, and so on - are to be compared to the analogous responses of the pious during the first round of Enlightenment. Pragmatist views of cognition are to show us how to do without ontologically grounded extra-social authority on the theoretical side, as secular views of morality showed us how to do without ontologically grounded extra-social authority on the practical side. This idea is deservedly controversial. In what ways are the two cases analogous and disanalogous? Is the idea of an external cognitive authority [...] really objectionable in the same ways and for the same reasons that the idea of an external moral authority [...] is objectionable? [...] Whatever verdict one might come to upon considering those critical arguments and Rorty's responses, it is clear that one that cannot be directed at this thought is that it lacks philosophical ambition. Rorty's claim is that philosophy now has a desperately important mission: liberating humanity from the most deeply rooted form of superstition, mystification, and disavowal of our responsibilities that we are now in a position to bring into view, one that, if he is right, keeps us from understanding the real lessons we ought to learn from the rise of modern science - the most spectacularly successful social institution of the last three hundred years. | Translation - Portuguese
De seu ponto de vista [de Rorty], os berros ultrajados que sua afirmação tende a trazer à tona - as acusações de que ela convida à irresponsabilidade cognitiva, rompe nossas conexões com o mundo, solapa a distinção entre afirmações verdadeiras e as que meramente estão na moda etc. - devem ser comparados às respostas análogas dos religiosos durante o primeiro round do Iluminismo. Visões pragmatistas da cognição hão de nos mostrar como dispensar, pelo lado teórico, a autoridade extrassocial ontologicamente fundamentada, assim como visões seculares da moralidade nos mostraram como dispensar, pelo lado prático, a autoridade extrassocial ontologicamente fundamentada. Tal ideia faz jus a sua controvérsia. De que maneiras os dois casos são análogos e não o são? Será que a ideia de uma autoridade cognitiva externa [...] é realmente objetável das mesmas maneiras e pelas mesmas razões que a ideia de uma autoridade moral externa [...] é objetável? [...] Seja qual for o veredicto com o qual se poderia deparar-se ao considerar esses argumentos críticos e as respostas de Rorty, está claro que um que não pode ser dirigido a seu pensamento é que ele carece de ambição filosófica. A tese de Rorty é que a filosofia tem agora uma missão desesperadamente importante: libertar a humanidade da forma mais profundamente enraizada de superstição, de mistificação e de negação de nossas responsabilidades a qual podemos agora enxergar a partir da posição a que chegamos, negação essa que, se ele estiver certo, nos impede de compreender as verdadeiras lições que deveríamos extrair da ascensão da ciência moderna - a instituição social cujo êxito foi o mais espetacular dos últimos trezentos anos. |

 The city I live in: Fortaleza, in Brazil's Northeast
I translate texts written in English and German to Brazilian Portuguese and also edit texts written in Brazilian Portuguese. I do not work with interpretation, subtitling, dubbing, or audio transcribing. Although I localize websites, I do not localize software. And I am not a sworn translator.
The main category of texts I work with covers websites, contracts, installation or operation manuals or manuals for general usage, product catalogs, correspondences, as well as articles or essays in human sciences, philosophy or humanities.
I started learning English when I was 12 years old and German when I was 14. I have been engaging in translating and editing jobs since 2000, when I was 23. At that time I was an undergraduate student.
My bachelor's degree is in Language and Literature, which comprises Linguistics. Also, I have had a Master's Degree in Contemporary Philosophy, in the research field of Philosophy of Language, since 2005.
For 20 months between 2009 and 2010, I worked at Federal University of Ceará, and I was responsible for international documents as well as international exchange students and teachers.
