On the Role of South Arabian and Ethio-Semitic within a Comparative Semitic Lexicographical Project
Authors: Edzard Lutz
Published: September 2020

Genetic classification in general depends to a large extent on the criteria selected. Inspired by Kogan 2015 and other sources, this paper looks at specific lexical peculiarities and semantic traits in the South Semitic (mainly modern South Arabian and Ethio-Semitic) lexicon, in order to determine the value of the South Semitic lexicon for genetic classification within Semitic at large.
School Grammars with Everyday Vocabulary: Suggestion for a Culture Specific Approach, with Sidaamu Afoo as an Example
Authors: Yri Kjell Magne
Published: September 2020

This contribution deals with the problematic area of specialised nomenclature in school material for languages that are comparatively new as languages of instruction. It concerns grammar, although in principle the same problems arise for those who write school materials for mathematics, chemistry, physics or any other subject taught in school. The nature of this contribution, however, is not the description of a research project in the normal sense, so it is not built up around a well formulated research question. Nonetheless, a working hypothesis can be seen to underlie the discussion. It is a reasonable assumption that if a grammatical terminology is created hastily and with quick ad hoc solutions based on English or a dominant language, it may impede transparency and learning in both the short and longer term. Consequently the hypothesis is that one finds the best solutions by starting from the local culture and everyday words, discussing and evaluating their merits as grammatical terms, and only resorting to loans or foreign influence if that approach fails. The suggestions that form this hypothesis are found in (1).
An empirical L2 perspective on possessives: German/Norwegian
Authors: Pitz Anneliese Pauline , Bott Oliver , Solstad Torgrim , Hörnig Robin , Behrens Bergljot , Fabricius-Hansen Cathrine
Published: September 2020

The present paper reports on two empirical studies concerning the acquisition of possessive systems by L2 learners of Norwegian and German respectively. The first study investigates comprehension and production in written translation while the second study is a set of offline experiments testing the interpretation of possessives by both native speakers and German learners of Norwegian. Norwegian distinguishes between reflexive and irreflexive possessives, while German does not. The reflexive stem form si* is phonologically similar to German sein*, but may correspond to ihr*, a feminine or plural possessor, as well. These differences make the acquisition of Norwegian and of German as a foreign language a complex procedure of restructuring both at the phonological and the grammatical level. Results of the study indicate that the only partly overlapping forms and structural constraints on possessives in the two languages are cognitively demanding in L2 acquisition and subject to transfer effects.
Набоковская концепция личной организации времени: контрастивные аспекты авторизованного перевода
Authors: Кудряшов Игорь
Published: September 2020

Synonymic correlations of temporal propositions in the English edition and its authorized translation of “Lolita” cannot be characterized as word-by-word. This kind of correlations turns out to be in more complex relations. This paper shows that the analysis of the correlations is adequate by revealing the relations between one proposition of the initial language and some language units from synonymic raw in the language of translation.
Academic Phraseology: A Key Ingredient in Successful L2 Academic Literacy
Authors: Granger Sylviane
Published: September 2020

One of the weaknesses of most current academic word lists is that they fail to do justice to the large stock of multiword units that are typical of academic language. The objective of this chapter is to raise awareness of the importance of phrasal academic vocabulary. After a brief critical survey of three recently compiled phrasal academic lists, the chapter highlights the potential contribution of learner corpus data to identifying the most useful units for teaching purposes. The approach is illustrated with a case study of phrasal metadiscourse based on corpora of novice and expert native writing, and subcorpora from the International Corpus of Learner English representing L2 writers from six different mother tongue backgrounds.
Speaking about the past from different perspectives: the acquisition of Italian L2 by Norwegian and Russian learners
Authors: Khachaturyan Elizaveta
Published: September 2020

This study investigates the influence of L1 language-specific patterns on the acquisition of L2 structures. The lack of certain grammatical categories is often compensated for at another level of linguistic structure. This study analyses how Italian past tenses (connected with the category of aspect) are acquired by Russian and Norwegian learners. In Norwegian, in contrast to Russian and Italian, there is no grammatical aspect.

The data analyzed contain a written narration of a short story presented through four pictures and were collected from several groups of informants: Russian and Norwegian native speakers, learners of Italian (levels B1 and C1), and Italian native speakers (the control group).

The results obtained show that Norwegian learners, independently of their level, use more temporal connectors in their narratives. However, verbal semantics or temporal connectors (usually considered to be triggers of Italian past tenses) do not help them use the correct form. Russian learners performed better on the test. Their errors show that the textual function of the verb is more important for them than its semantics. However, they overuse coordinative connectors (e ‘and’ and ma ‘but’) at the beginning of sentences. These results lead to further discussion of textual features in the three languages and the role of the tense-aspect category in text structure.

Scales in the meaning of adjectives
Authors: Krasikova Sveta
Published: September 2020

The goal of this paper is to show that a degree-based semantics for comparative constructions in English, based on a degree ontology going back to Cresswell (1976), meets the challenge of polarity effects in antonymous adjectives, once it is properly adapted to deal with measure expressions and the so called norm-related inferences. I present an alternative to theories that rely on a shift from degrees as points to degrees as intervals as proposed in von Stechow (1984). My approach builds on the assumption that degrees constitute simple ordinal scales and measures are introduced at the LF by necessity of interpreting numerals. The proposal is evaluated against the data from two languages with completely different polarity patterns, English and Russian.
I'm done my homework: Complement Coercion and Aspectual Adjectives in Canadian English
Authors: Murphy Patrick
Published: September 2020

Self-paced reading and eye-tracking studies have generally found that combining aspectual verbs (like ‘begin’ and ‘finish’) with entity nouns (like ‘the book’ or ‘the coffee’) is associated with increased reading times on and around the noun (McElree et al. 2001; Traxler et al. 2002; Pickering et al. 2005). This processing cost is widely interpreted as evidence of complement coercion—aspectual verbs semantically select for an event (like ‘dancing’ or ‘the dance’) and can take entity objects only if they are coerced into an event through a computationally costly process of type-shifting (Pustejovsky 1995; Jackendoff 1997). This paper presents an eye-tracking study of the Canadian English ‘be done NP’ construction, e.g., ‘I am done/finished my homework’ (not to be confused with the dialect-neutral ‘I am done/finished WITH my homework’) to mean ‘I have finished my homework’. Results suggest a processing penalty for entity-denoting nouns like ‘the script’ (compared to event description nouns like ‘the audition’) in this construction, which supports Fruehwald & Myler’s (2015) proposal that ‘done’ and ‘finished’ in this construction are aspectual adjectives that behave like aspectual verbs in requiring complement coercion and type-shifting for entity-denoting nouns.
Semelfactives
Authors: Egg Markus
Published: September 2020

The present paper discusses the aspectual class of ‘semelfactives’, which comprises expressions that introduce eventualities with inherent boundaries, often a very short duration, but no lexically defined change of state, e.g., ‘flash’ and ‘cough’. After reviewing previous analyses of semelfactives (including their integration into an overall system of aspectual classification), an analysis of semelfactives that treats them as denoting singleton (rather than iterated) eventualities will be defended. As a challenge for this analysis of semelfactives, semantic construction of semelfactives with frequency adverbials will be presented and analysed in terms of a coercion operator.
Vocatives and Other Direct Address Forms: A Contrastive Study
Authors: Parrott Lilli
Published: September 2020

In this paper I analyze Russian direct address forms, both the distinct truncated vocative and nominative-case direct address forms. I contrast the formal and functional restrictions on the truncated vocative with vocatives in other languages (e.g. Czech and Polish), and I compare the interpolation of Russian direct address forms in an utterance to the situation in English. While similarities are found both in the form and the usage of Russian direct address forms with those in other languages, the prosodic and syntactic constraints in English are considerably stronger than in Russian, which means that the punctuating function of direct address forms is considerably more flexible in Russian than in English.
Fake imperfective imperatives in Slavic
Authors: Alvestad Silje Susanne
Published: September 2020

This paper is based on a comparative corpus study of aspect use in Slavic imperatives. Two important findings in this study are, first, that there is a cross-Slavic variation in aspect use, and second, that IPF is strikingly widespread. I argue that both findings are connected to the phenomenon of aspectual competition and the fact that the Slavic languages resolve cases of aspectual competition in different ways.
Clausal modifiers in noun phrases: A comparison of English and Norwegian based on the Oslo Multilingual Corpus
Authors: Elsness Johan
Published: September 2020

The structure of the noun phrase has many common features in English and Norwegian. One feature shared by the two languages is that noun phrases often contain clausal postmodifiers. However, there are marked differences in the types of clauses occurring: Postmodifying clauses in Norwegian tend to be finite relative clauses, while in English there is much more variation, connected with the general fact that -ing clauses and past-participle clauses are common non-finite alternatives in that language, in addition to infinitive clauses. These all tend to be less explicit modifiers than relative clauses, in terms of both their semantic content and their syntactic structure. The study reported in this article confirms that Norwegian noun phrases are often characterised by a higher degree of explicitness than corresponding English ones. A major finding is a tendency for information which is expressed by clausal noun-phrase modifiers in English to be expressed by other means in Norwegian, sometimes outside the same noun phrase, which can often be seen as the extreme case of explicitness. The study is based on an investigation of corresponding noun phrases in the English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus (ENPC), part of the Oslo Multilingual Corpus. In an attempt to offset the impact of individual translators’ preferences, the Multiple-translation Corpus, consisting of ten different Norwegian translations of each of two English Original texts, is also examined.
From physical to abstract affectedness: The prepositions "vrz" and "vărhu" in Balkan Slavic
Authors: Buzarovska Eleni , Mitkovska Liljana
Published: September 2020

This article investigates the semantics of the Macedonian preposition "vrz" and its Bulgarian counterpart "vărhu" from a cognitive perspective. These prepositions represent a rare case of coding the functional meaning of landmark (LM) affectedness, which we understand as a characteristic of a force-dynamic pattern. The article has two related goals: to explain the polysemy of "vrz/vărhu" by discovering the semantic links between its spatial and non-spatial senses and to filter out the semantic components that "vrz/vărhu" shares with other related spatial prepositions, such as "na" ‘on’, "po" ‘across, over’, "preku/prez" ‘over’, and "nad" ‘over, above’. The dictionary definitions of both prepositions do not include the affectedness meaning, a fact that obscures the difference in use between "vrz/vărhu" and the prepositions mentioned above. The authors, on the other hand, show how the spatial domain of "vrz/vărhu" is shared by other semantically similar prepositions of superposition and offer an explanation as to why they differ.

An analysis of "vrz/vărhu" based on the authors’ collection of examples helps determine the role of the semantic component of “affectedness” responsible for the special position of this preposition among the prepositions that express superposition. This component is often found with verbs denoting downward movement, such as fall, put, pour, hit, and throw upon, which underscore the affectedness of the LM in conveying the meaning of superposition. This prototype effect is preserved in all spatial extensions, although considerably weakened in the covering sense ("Stavete kilim vrz svetol pod." ‘Put a rug over a light floor’). It is also pronounced in the non-spatial extensions of "vrz/vărhu" with predicates such as "vlijae vrz" ‘influence’, "se fokusira vrz" ‘focus on’, "prezema kontrola vrz" ‘take control of’ and other similar cases of conceptual transfer from physical to mental/emotional affectedness.

Even though the semantic component of affectedness is also characteristic of the Bulgarian preposition "vărhu", the analysis of the Bulgarian examples shows that "vărhu", in comparison to "vrz", does not adhere to this criterion so strictly. This results in a wider distribution of "vărhu" in both physical and abstract domains.
Manner of motion, evaluative and pluractional morphology
Authors: Stosic Dejan
Published: September 2020

Several works inspired by Talmy’s typology provided a very complete survey and description of various kinds of linguistic elements and strategies across languages for expressing two basic components of motion events: path and manner. This research has mainly focused on lexical and syntactic means of expressing path and manner and how these elements are combined in a single clause. Morphological means are mentioned when talking about encoding the path of motion but hardly ever when studying the expression of manner. This article shows that some languages widely use many affixational and non-affixational processes of “evaluative” and “pluractional” morphology to express manner (e.g., Serbian "leteti" ‘to fly’ > "letuckati" ‘to flutter’, Zoque "wit" ‘to walk’ > "witwitnay" ‘to walk aimlessly’). This research mainly focuses on data from Serbian, but also offers a comparative perspective to highlight the widespread use of such morphological means in encoding manner. It pays particular attention to the role of morphology in the linguistic expression of manner in the semantic domain of motion.
Adverbial doch the Notion of Contrast
Authors: Karagjosova Elena
Published: September 2020

The paper provides a first analysis of one use of the German discourse

marker doch, namely doch as conjunct adverb (CA). As CA, doch has

two properties, concessivity and anaphoricity, that distinguish it

from the conjunction doch, which is the other clause connecting use

of the word. As conjunction, doch is not anaphoric and it may mark a

greater variety of (contrastive) discourse relations besides

concession. I argue that CA doch acquires anaphoricity and

concessivity due to a combination of factors related to the fact that

it is accented. More specifically, I claim that (i) accent on CA doch

leads to an asymmetric focus-background structure of the

doch-conjunct which in turn leads to the concessive interpretation of

the discourse relation marked by doch; (ii) accent on CA doch evokes

as a focus alternative the negation of the conjunct to which doch is

attached and (iii) focus on CA doch is contrastive, which means that

the alternative CA doch evokes is anaphorically linked to an

antecedent in the preceding discourse. I also sketch a formal account

of the concessivity and anaphoricity of CA doch.

Mistet på sjøen? En nyoppdaget fiskekrok fra steinalderen i Søgne, Vest-Agder.
Authors: Wammer Elling Utvik , Mansrud Anja , Nymoen Pål , Kvalø Frode
Published: September 2020

The starting point for the present paper is a recent discovery of a well-preserved bone or antler fishhook, which turned up in a test pit during an underwater survey outside Tømmervigodden in Søgne, southernmost Norway. The hook is the third archaeological bone find from submarine context in Søgne. Tømmervigodden is located two kilometers away from Hummervikholmen, a submarine site known for revealing the oldest human remains from Norway, dated to the Middle Mesolithic (c. 8300-6300 cal. BC). Furthermore, a harpoon has been found in Lundeelva, approx. eight kilometers inland to the northeast. These finds demonstrate the extraordinary conditions for preservation of organic remains in the area. This article present the artefact and we discuss the issue of dating and deposition based on typology, context, and shoreline displacement curves. How old is the fishhook? How did it end up in the sea, and why is it so well preserved? The site is located in one of three areas along the Norwegian coast with potential for transgressed Mesolithic sites. The sea levels has fluctuated in Vest-Agder since the end of the Ice Age, and the sea has periodically been both higher and lower than today.The location close to Hummervikholmen and another Mesolithic site located on dry land at Tømmervigodden, initially suggested a Mesolithic date. However, the form of the fishhook, with a barb and elongated knob for attachment of the line, differs considerably from well-dated Mesolithic fishhooks in the region. The newly discovered fishhook has a distinct barb, an attribute previously considered a Neolithic trait. A precise dating would be crucial, but the closest typological parallels are undated stray-finds and C14-analysis would have destroyed the small object. Hence, dating of the hook requires a new assessment of the typology and chronology of the Stone Age fishhooks. Based on chronological and regional comparisons, we argue for a Middle Neolithic date of the fishhook from Søgne. Based on current knowledge of the local shoreline displacement curve and the formation processes influencing the seabed, we further suggest that the fishhook was lost at sea during fishing, when the sea level was at least five meters above present.
Ferd og frakt over fjell og vidde
Authors: Loftsgarden Kjetil
Published: September 2020

This study demonstrates how routes over mountain plateaus and passes connected farms, hamlets and regions. The routes enabled wide social and economic networks and were a prerequisite for regional surplus production in the Norwegian inland areas from the Viking Age.Iron, furs, skins and antlers were among the important commodities for farmers in the mountain and valley regions. These resources were exchanged for goods from the coastal areas, and it is likely that the purpose for much of the traffic over the mountains was trade. Medieval law texts and later historical sources indicate that the bulk of the traffic over mountains took place during the summer. The commodities were transported on packhorses or by foot.Using archaeological sites and findings, as well as place-names and historical sources, I have mapped the main mountain trails in South Norway. The historical significance of these communication routes are indicated by large burial sites, some consisting of hundreds of burial mounds, at the foot of several mountain crossings. These sites are testament to the great importance and value of communication and transportation across mountains passes – and its control – well before the extensive regional surplus production from the last half the Viking Age.
Pesquisa científica, atenção primária e medicina de família
Authors: Jantsch Adelson Guaraci
Published: September 2020

Apesar do grande crescimento da nossa especialidade nos últimos 30 anos, ainda estamos muito aquém de atender à demanda brasileira por médicos de família. Atualmente representamos apenas 1,4% do total de médicos especialistas no Brasil e menos de 5% do total de vagas de residência no país são destinados à medicina de família e comunidade (MFC). Com 70% da nossa população coberta pela Estratégia de Saúde da Família, apenas uma parcela pequena conta com um médico de família treinado por um programa de residência em MFC. Infelizmente temos poucas evidências mostrando o impacto do treinamento em MFC no cuidado das pessoas e muito do que sustentamos no nosso discurso como diferenciais da nossa prática carece de provas científicas. Isso perpetua uma noção comum entre formuladores de políticas e gestores de que a atenção primária à saúde (APS) é uma área de atuação desprovida de desafios, sem complexidades e possível de ser realizada por qualquer médico sem treinamento especializado. Se a MFC pretende se firmar como a especialidade médica responsável pela APS no Brasil e no mundo, precisa avançar no desenvolvimento de habilidades para a pesquisa, para poder estudar o universo da MFC e da APS com a profundidade e o rigor que a complexidade destas disciplinas demanda. Desenvolver o potencial para a pesquisa representa um passo importante do projeto profissionalizante da nossa especialidade e do amadurecimento da APS. Ao questionarmos nossa prática e ao perguntarmos o quanto realmente fazemos a diferença no cuidado dos nossos pacientes estaremos ampliando a base de evidências da nossa especialidade e demonstrando o quanto a APS se torna mais abrangente ao ter um médico treinado em MFC. Este ensaio aborda as dificuldades da MFC em mostrar seu valor e a sua importância para os sistemas de saúde; e apresenta o papel vital que a pesquisa científica deve ter no enfrentamento destes desafios.
Die verfassungs- und wasserrechtliche Rechtsstellung von privaten Gewässereigentümern
Authors: Faßbender Kurt
Published: September 2020

Nennenswerte Teile der deutschen Oberflächengewässer, insbesondere der Tagebaurestseen, befinden sich in Privateigentum. Die Studie arbeitet im Anschluss an das Urteil des BVerwG vom 24.3.2018 betreffend die behördliche Zulassung der Schifffahrt auf einem Stichkanal des Mains (Az. 3 C 18/16) heraus, dass die Grundsätze des sog. Nassauskiesungsbeschlusses des BVerfG nicht unbesehen auf die eigentumsrechtliche Stellung von privaten Gewässereigentümern übertragen werden können. Ihre Stellung ist daher deutlich „wehrhafter“ als bislang angenommen. In wasserrechtlicher Hinsicht werden der Eigentümergebrauch, der Gemeingebrauch und Fragen der Schiffbarkeit von Eigentümergewässern am Beispiel der Rechtslage in Sachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt behandelt.
L-Arginine/Nitric Oxide Pathway and KCa Channels in Endothelial Cells: A Mini-Review
Authors: González Marcelo , Carlos Rivas José
Published: September 2020

The endothelium is an organ with a key role in the maintenance of cardiovascular health through the regulation of vascular tone, vascular resistance, blood flow, and arterial pressure. These functions are related with the synthesis and release of vasoactive molecules, mainly vasodilators like nitric oxide (NO) and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). Both factors are released and diffused from endothelial cells to the smooth muscle cells, where there is a subsequent activation of signaling pathways that finally decrease the intracellular calcium to induce the vascular relaxation. The study of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the endothelial function still is in development, but from the evidence obtained from the endothelial cells in vitro studies are possible to partially describe the pathways to regulate the physiological endothelial function and the disturbances in pathological conditions. In this mini-review, we describe the main mechanisms for NO synthesis and the role of potassium channels related with EDHF. We include schemes and graphical summaries for better understanding of the molecular regulation of vascular tone in the human cardiovascular system.

Published: September 2020

This work presents a short review of the theoretical developments in the application of vortex dynamics to the processing of environmental and biological systems. The mechanisms of complex fluid-particle interaction in vortex dominated and non-vortex dominated flows are briefly discussed from theoretical and practical perspectives. Micro vortex propagation, characteristics and their various applications in environmental process engineering are briefly discussed. Several existing and potential applications of vortex dynamics in turbulent flows are highlighted and as well as the knowledge gaps in the current understanding of turbulence phenomenon with respect to its applications in the processing of solid-liquid suspension and biological systems.
The Effects of Lifestyle Modifications Including Dietary and Physical Interventions with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on Quality of Life and Cancer-Recurrence Rate among Patients with Breast Cancer and Survivors: A Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Razmpoosh Elham , Mazloom Maryam , Bassiri Maryam , Montazeri Ali , Sajadian Akram , Zarrati Mitra , Salehi-Abargoueil Amin
Published: September 2020

Context: Lifestyle modifications consist of three components including diet, exercise, and cognitive-behavioral therapy which can reduce side effects of breast cancer. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a complementary strategy that promotes new skills for any treatment. Published trials have investigated the co-efficacies of the two or three components of lifestyle modifications, especially dietary and cognitive-behavioral interventions in breast cancer survivors. Evidence Acquisition: This protocol is about a meta-analysis which will systematically report the simultaneous effects of dietary intervention or physical activity with cognitive-behavioral therapy, or three of them on quality of life, the recurrence levels and anthropometric measurements among patients with breast cancer and survivors. It was prepared in accordance with the PRISMA-P checklist and will be performed in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic reviews of intervention. Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials, PubMed, EMBASE and ISI web of science will be searched for peer-reviewed literature using defined MeSH terms. Included randomized controlled trials on the combination effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy with either dietary or physical interventions will be assessed. Continuous data will be meta-analyzed using the STATA and will be gathered using random-effects models. The effect size will be reported as standardized mean difference with 95%CIs. Heterogeneity assessment, publication bias, and sensitivity analysis will be performed. The heterogeneity between some trials may be a limitation of this study. Conclusions: This meta-analysis will provide beneficial guidance for healthcare providers and family members to improve the current understanding of the role of lifestyle modification on alleviating the important problems of patients with breast cancer.

Authors: Garavand Ali , Aslani Nasim , Ayyoubzadeh Seyyed Mohammad , Abhari Shahabeddin
Published: September 2020

Background: Scheduling doctor appointments at healthcare centers have been a managerial challenge for health systems. In recent years, many efforts have been made to implement e-booking websites in medical universities and their affiliated healthcare centers. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the recent situation of e-booking in the medical sciences affiliated clinics. Methods: The present study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 in 31 provinces, universities of medical sciences, and affiliated health centers. A checklist with 11 items was used for situation analysis. Results: The results showed that just 5 out of 31 (15.15%) provinces and their affiliated universities of medical sciences lacked an e-booking system. Moreover, 85.71% of cases had an integrated e-booking portal, 67.86% had mobile-based applications for e-booking, and just 14.29% of the cases had online payment gateway that was the lowest score in all items studied. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, there is a significant growth in the situation of e-booking websites in Iran in the last two years. If this improvement continues, it can lead to equity development in healthcare services, reduction of patients’ waiting time, a decrease in waste of resources, and an increase in patients’ satisfaction.
O impacto da Primeira Guerra Mundial sobre a Europa e a literatura de guerra
Authors: Jaeckel Volker
Published: September 2020

Hoje, cem anos depois das maiores batalhas navais e de trincheiras, cabe a pergunta: como esta Grande Guerra Europeia mudou não somente as configurações do continente, mas também os conceitos de guerra e de literatura de guerra? Até o século XIX, a guerra era vista por muitos como um ato heroico, pelo qual os homens podiam comprovar a sua valentia numa luta aberta, encarando diretamente o inimigo. Com a nova tecnologia de armas, a morte vem de forma invisível: gás, submarinos, artilharias de longo alcance, minas, aviões, tanques e metralhadoras. Muda-se a estratégia bélica e finda o sentimento de uma luta nobre para defender a pátria. Neste artigo, a grande desilusão com a guerra será exemplificada através dos romances Nada de novo no front (1929) de Erich Maria Remarque, Os quatro cavaleiros do Apocalipse (1916) de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, abarcando a guerra terrestre, assim como o drama expressionista Batalha naval (1917) de Reinhard Göring.
A guerra que desafiou os papéis de gênero: narrativas de guerra de mulheres inglesas acerca da Primeira Guerra Mundial
Authors: Abreu Denise Borille de
Published: September 2020

A participação das mulheres em guerras, direta e indiretamente, tem sido objeto de estudo de narrativas de guerra desde a Antiguidade Clássica. O presente artigo busca analisar o papel significativo das mulheres na construção da memória cultural e a evolução das representações femininas, desde a instância do mito, de Homero até o início do século XX, quando a Primeira Guerra foi declarada, para a presumida condição de “vítimas silenciosas” chegando, enfim, à situação de membros proativos de uma sociedade igualitária. Este artigo aponta, mais especificamente, para como as narrativas femininas da Primeira Guerra abordam o trauma da guerra, que afetou em igual escala mulheres, homens e crianças, e como a Primeira Guerra Mundial abriu terreno para a reconfiguração de papéis sociais femininos.
Ausência como presença; presença como ausência em K., de Kucinski
Authors: Marques Luciana Araujo
Published: September 2020

Este artigo busca fazer algumas aproximações entre os romances K. – relato de uma busca (publicado originalmente em 2011), de Bernardo Kucinski, que trata sobre o desaparecimento da irmã e do cunhado do autor durante a ditadura militar, por meio de várias vozes, inclusive a de algozes, mas protagonizado sobretudo pela busca do paradeiro deles (ou pelo menos de seus restos mortais) empreendida pelo pai da jovem, e O processo, de Franz Kafka, a partir da óbvia referência que o primeiro faz ao segundo, e a contrapelo dessa obviedade, também distanciá-los ao apontar diferenças e especificidades de cada um. Serão abordados ainda aspectos da teoria do trauma como operadora possível para reflexão e análise da formalização literária de experiências-limite marcadas pelo teor testemunhal, como a questão da culpa do sobrevivente e suas possibilidades éticas e estéticas.
O testemunho na poesia lírica: inflexões e reflexões a partir de um poema de Thiago de Mello
Authors: Paula Marcelo Ferraz de
Published: September 2020

Este artigo discute, em linhas gerais, algumas tensões, impasses e particularidades do testemunho ao se manifestar na poesia lírica. Embora ainda ocupe uma posição marginal dentro das investigações sobre o testemunho na literatura brasileira, percebemos em nosso repertório poético uma presença abundante, e decisiva, de elementos testemunhais, como a escrita do trauma, o desejo de resistência e a conturbada aproximação entre realidade e memória, ética e estética. Com base no desenvolvimento dessas considerações, proponho uma breve análise do poema “Iniciação do prisioneiro”, de Thiago de Mello, destacando como este relato poético sobre o período em que o autor ficou preso nos porões da ditadura pode ser compreendido à luz do conceito de testemunho.
Repetição, uma ética da literatura
Authors: Ribeiro Helano
Published: September 2020

Walter Benjamin irá propor como tarefa do materialista histórico a politização da estética em contraposição à estetização da política, característica dos fascismos. Nesse sentido, é objetivo deste artigo analisar a repetição enquanto recurso estilístico que se revela como uma possibilidade de resistência estética e política. Assim, o escritor Thomas Bernhard surge aqui, através de sua arte do exagero, com uma escritura que interpela e nos faz pensar sobre a necessidade de perpetuação da memória. A escritura deThomas Bernhard é repetição que impede a destruição da vida e compactua com Mnemósine para sua perpetuação, para a manutenção deste arquivo fora da lei.

Memória individual e coletiva em 'The Remains of the Day' de Kazuo Ishiguro
Authors: Pereira Tiago Ferreira , Umbach Rosani Ketzer
Published: September 2020

O(s) romance(s) de Kazuo Ishiguro coloca(m) em questão a memória humana - sua capacidade, confiabilidade, falibilidade e combustibilidade assim como, sua representação em uma esfera individual, coletiva e cultural. Em The remains of the day (1989), Ishiguro confronta o leitor com a figura de Stevens que constrói uma narrativa do “eu” por meio de um processo de rememoração. Como a memória de Stevens aparece distante das recordações levantadas por outras testemunhas, lidar com a confiabilidade desse narrador-personagem tratando-se da reconstrução de um passado histórico se torna problemático. Este trabalho pretende oferecer uma leitura sobre o tema da memória no romance The remains of the day, de Kazuo Ishiguro, com enfoque na sua representação individual e coletiva - isso, por meio, principalmente, da teoria de Maurice Halbwachs sobre a memória individual e coletiva. Esse diálogo evidencia que a dimensão social tem efeito sobre a forma como o protagonista relembra sua própria estória e configura o passado do(s) Outro(s).

Authors: Luz Gisele Almeida da , Vianna Vera Lúcia Lenz
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo fará uma visitação ao conceito de mimese desde a antiguidade até a modernidade, primeiramente buscando um conceito geral para a palavra e posteriormente observando as mudanças que sofreu ao longo do tempo. Em seguida, a definição de trauma e questões referentes ao sujeito traumatizado serão buscadas, a fim de relacionar mimese e trauma. Após, será discutida a narrativa do trauma na literatura infanto-juvenil, bem como a importância de trazer o discurso do indivíduo traumatizado ao jovem leitor. A obra O meu amigo pintor (1987), de Lygia Bojunga, será o mote para a discussão e análise acerca da mimese e do trauma.
Em primeira(s) pessoa(s): a memória individual no contexto da África e na perspectiva de Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o
Authors: Cândido Marcelo França Marques , Amorim Bernardo Nascimento de
Published: September 2020

No presente artigo, buscamos problematizar algumas constatações que sugerem o excesso do uso da primeira pessoa na literatura contemporânea como responsável por uma possível crise da ficção. Abordamos interseções que o universo literário mantém com o relato memorialístico, de maneira a destacar um tipo de relação que, com as experiências traumáticas do século XX, adquire mais ampla significação, sugerindo tanto uma instância fundamental para os indivíduos que viveram traumas, quanto para as culturas às quais pertencem. Com o foco na experiência africana, trazemos o exemplo de Sonhos em tempo de guerra, primeiro volume da trilogia autobiográfica de Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, que afirma a literatura como espaço de reconstrução do sujeito fragmentado a partir do relato autobiográfico, mas não narcísico.
A instabilidade do ser e do objeto: uma análise de Sea Without Shore
Authors: Drawin Ana Elisa Oliveira , Mattar Marina Ribeiro
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo propõe-se à investigação sobre o ponto de tangência, entendido como uma importante chave de entendimento, fundado entre as imagens que emergem da natureza e as noções de melancolia, trauma, memória e amor presentes na obra Sea Without Shore, filme dirigido por André Semenza e Fernanda. O filme apresenta-nos uma mulher, numa ilha sueca no século XIX, acometida pela dor de perder a sua amada, obra atravessada pela leitura em “off” de poemas de Charles Swinburne e Renée Vivien, bem como por uma incessante dança instável, apresentada ao longo de todo o longa-metragem, em diversas paisagens. Portanto, propomos uma análise dos elementos principais que compõem e estruturam Sea Without Shore.
Lembranças de mulheres em armas: relatos memorialísticos sobre o front
Authors: Gonçalves Joyce Rodrigues Silva
Published: September 2020

Este trabalho se propõe fazer uma breve análise do livro A guerra não tem rosto de mulher, de Svetlana Aleksièvitch, a partir da perspectiva dos estudos sobre o testemunho e suas relações com a memória, considerando ainda as questões de gênero presentes na obra. Ademais, serão pontuadas algumas problemáticas inerentes às narrativas de memória, como a lembrança, o esquecimento, o silenciamento, a autoria, a ficção e as experiências vividas. Este estudo é parte de uma pesquisa de Doutorado em andamento na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, sendo um recorte de um dos capítulos que compõem a Tese. Os aportes teóricos que orientam o texto são proposições de autores como Philippe Lejeune, Michel Foucault, Michael Pollak, Enrique Serra Padrós e Márcio Seligmann-Silva.
Houve uma revolução a leste de Bucareste? Um olhar cinematográfico sobre o fim do regime de Ceausescu
Authors: Arcanjo Fábio Ávila
Published: September 2020

O presente trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a produção fílmica romena “A leste de Bucareste”, lançada nos cinemas no ano de 2005. Dezesseis anos após a revolução de 1989, Virgil Jderescu convida dois debatedores para discutir a questão chave que norteará seu programa de televisão: houve ou não houve uma revolução em nossa cidade? Diante desse enredo, julgamos interessante conjugar alguns postulados teóricos, no sentido de entender algumas questões instigantes como: a importância do processo de rememoração e a dinâmica existente entre a memória individual e a memória coletiva. Para tanto, utilizamos alguns autores importantes: para examinar o conceito de revolução, nossa principal referência é a filósofa alemã Hannah Arendt. No que diz respeito às questões relacionadas à enunciação, utilizamos os trabalhos de autores como Patrick Charaudeau e José Luiz Fiorin. Por fim, para discutir a memória, nossa principal base teórica foi Halbwachs (2015) e Pollak (1989).
On being asked for a war poem: W. B. Yeats and the role of the poet during World War I
Authors: Naves Marina , Pereira Valéria
Published: September 2020

Partindo da análise de dois poemas escritos por W. B. Yeats, On being asked for a war poem e An Irish airman foresees his death, discute-se, sob a perspectiva do nacionalismo anticolonial irlandês, o papel do poeta durante a Grande Guerra. Em Yeats, tal ofício não é criar um ideário militar glorioso (ou, ainda, expressar os traumas do soldado britânico que defende sua terra), mas manter-se calado — como no primeiro poema — ou, ainda, de expor a estupidez, insolência e frivolidade que o conflito para ele representava. Pelo autor apreende-se, também, a expressão da triste e peculiar contradição que é morrer por uma nação que não se ama — pior, que mantém dominada a sua própria pátria —, como aparece no segundo poema. Desse modo, destrinchando as duas obras é possível, também, reler a Primeira Guerra Mundial por meio de um olhar que não se volta para manutenção de disputas e políticas imperialistas; pelo contrário,que as contrapõe e as questiona.

Mulher Maravilha (2017): Um filme de Segunda Guerra Mundial ambientado na Primeira Guerra Mundial
Authors: Machado José Otaviano da Mata
Published: September 2020

Mulher Maravilha, adaptação para o cinema de 2017, dirigida por Patty Jenkins, oferece um olhar contemporâneo sobre a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Contudo, as histórias em quadrinhos que servem de material fonte para a adaptação são produtos da chamada “Era de Ouro” dos quadros de super-herói estadunidenses, e são marcadamente produtos do período da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Portanto, a adaptação efetua um processo de deslocamento cronológico da ambientação tradicional da personagem Mulher Maravilha. Esse deslocamento tem efeitos diretos na recepção da obra – efeitos em grande parte causado pelas profundas distinções entre os mitos de cada uma das duas guerras mundiais (HYNES, 1992, 1998). Esse trabalho investiga os efeitos desse deslocamento e suas consequências para um olhar contemporâneo sobre a Primeira Guerra Mundial.
