ESTUDOS CULTURAIS EM LÍNGUA INGLESA aula 2 1. What is a 'civilization'? Europe and the US none of the above The broadest construction of cultural identity A society which is intellectually accomplished Mesopotamia 2. The hotels Brazil needs for the World Cup never got built. (THE WASHINGTON POST) The Gavea Tourist, in Rio de Janeiro, is an empty shell of a hotel, a 14-story modernist monument of disintegrating concrete and decaying beauty that has been abandoned for four decades. It is one of three huge, architecturally ghost hotels in Rio de Janeiro, all of which are vacant in a city facing a shortage of rooms for June´s World Cup soccer tournament. Rio could use the Gavea Tourist´s 400-odd rooms. Instead, it is an emblem of the obstacles that interfere in Brazil´s World Cup preparations: bureaucracy, a slow-moving judiciary and a lack of imaginative planning. ´´The bureaucracy is phenomenal. The technical capacity of the Brazilian state to produce infrastructure . . . is very low´´, said Christopher Gaffney, visiting professor in architecture and urbanism at Rio's Federal Fluminense University. Segundo o texto, que problema o Brasil enfrentará durante a Copa do Mundo? Por que isto deve ocorrer? O que dificulta a solução para este tipo de problema no Rio de Janeiro? O Rio de Janeiro não terá quartos de hotel em número suficiente para abrigar todos os visitantes. Porque muitas construções de hotéis não estarão prontas até lá. Há obras inacabadas como o Hotel na Gávea, por exemplo. A burocracia é fenomenal, a capacidade técnica do governo Brasileiro para produzir infraestrutura é precária/ ineficiente. Problemas relativos aos movimentos sociais que poderão gerar situações complicadas. Porque o governo Brasileiro não consegue lidar de maneira eficiente com estes movimentos. Porque o governo Brasileiro não está preparado não somente pela burocracia, mas pelas leis sobre infraestrutura. Porque o Hotel na Gávea de 14 andares, que foi construído para o evento, não tem mais quartos livres. Porque o Brasil não possui infraestrutura para prever estes problemas. Porque deveriam ter previsto que, com o número provável de visitantes, a construção de apenas um hotel a mais na cidade não seria suficiente. O Rio de Janeiro terá problemas porque um hotel na Gávea não ficou pronto. Por falta de infraestrutura da firma responsável pela construção. A burocracia do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Porque três imensos hotéis deveriam estar prontos e isso não ocorrerá até lá. Porque a inflação prejudicou o crescimento na área de construções. A burocracia e a incapacidade administrativa de lidar com a área econômica por parte do governo local inviabilizou as obras. 3.
