Resumo: O artigo introduz uma interpretação da acumulação primitiva contínua com foco em sua dimensão ideológica. A tese principal do trabalho é que a dimensão ideológica da acumulação primitiva é necessária para analisar a) a obtenção do consentimento social em processos de acumulação primitiva como um processo sem alternativa; b) entender os processos da acumulação primitiva contínua também no nível cultural e simbólico para poder intervir politicamente em novas áreas valorizadas economicamente; e c) conectar este conceito marxista com perspectivas des- ou pós-coloniais. A fim de demonstrar o exposto, primeiramente, a leitura mais comum da “assim chamada acumulação primitiva” é esboçada com foco na dimensão crítica-ideológica, que, como será mostrado, já fora pensada no texto original de Marx. No segundo passo, essa dimensão crítica-ideológica de Marx é conectada com as reflexões críticas-ideológicas de Stuart Hall. Depois de um pequeno resumo de uma concepção heurística da acumulação primitiva contínua, alguns pontos de partida são mostrados para a conexão da análise de processos atuais da acumulação primitiva continua com perspectivas des- e pós-colonais.

Abstract: The paper presents an interpretation on continuous primitive accumulation with regards to its ideological dimension. The work´s main thesis is that the ideological dimension of primitive accumulation is necessary to analyze a) the obtaining of social consent in primitive accumulation processes as a process without alternative; b) to understand the processes also at the symbolic and cultural level, in order to intervene politically in new areas economically valuated; c) to connect this Marxist concept with de- or post-colonial perspectives. In order to demonstrate the aforementioned, firstly, the most common reading on “so called primitive accumulation” is outlined with a focus on the ideological-critical dimension, which, as will be presented, has already been considered in Marx’s original text. Secondly, this ideological-critical dimension by Marx is connected with Stuart Hall’s ideological-critical reflections. Following a brief summary of a heuristic conception of continuous primitive accumulation, some starting points are shown for the connection between the analysis of current processes of continuous primitive accumulation and de- and post-colonial perspectives.

Background: Mortality caused by cardial gastric cancer in Chile, is increasing. Previously we demonstrated an association between Epstein Barr virus and this specific location of gastric cancer. Aim: To perform a clinical and molecular characterization of cardial gastric cancer associated to Epstein Barr virus. Material and methods: Epstein Barr virus was identified in 93 cardial gastric tumors, by in situ hybridization. Clinical and pathological features, survival and expression of p53 and c-erbB2 were compared between tumors with or without the presence of the virus. Results: Twenty two (23.6%) tumors expressed Epstein Barr virus. No difference in sex or age of patients with tumors positive or negative for the virus was observed. Epstein Barr positive tumors had a tendency to have a higher frequency of Bormann III endoscopic appearance and a lower frequency of p53 accumulation (p=0.06). Five years survival was 67% and 42% of tumors positive and negative for the presence of the virus, respectively (p=0.57). Conclusions: Our results, although not significant, show a tendency towards unique characteristics of cardial gastric tumors associated to Epstein Barr
