Communities of Communication
Authors: Rogers Laurie Stone
Published: September 2014

This chapter discusses the potential of social media use as an access to interpersonal relationships for teachers. Society has been forever altered by the shifts in the intellectual landscapes of learning and knowing through the Internet. By utilizing mobile communication technologies, Internet pathways allow growth in personal and professional relationships in real time, providing opportunity for open and profound dialogues, learning, and global perspectives. Yet even with the strong social presence of Internet communications in today's society, our teachers continue to struggle with building interpersonal relationships with colleagues. Drawing from the literature as well as from personal experiences and relationships, this chapter explores some of the interpersonal challenges teachers face at work due to physical and abstract barriers, as well as the possible solution found in social media. This perspective hopefully adds to understanding regarding the interpersonal challenges teachers may experience at work, the importance of meeting those challenges, and the potential inter-relational benefits resulting from social media use.
Effects of Consumers' Social Media Participation on Consumer Behavior
Authors: Kumar Ashish , Bezawada Ram
Published: September 2014

Technological advancements have shaped and reshaped the marketing landscape from time to time. The digital revolution in particular has given rise to a new digital era that has changed this marketing landscape, perhaps permanently. One of the core technologies involved in defining this digital era is the Internet. The Internet has not only empowered the people by creating and disseminating information like never before but also has affected the way we conduct our businesses. Various business usages of the Internet in search engines, email, mobile, and social media have given rise to new ways of conducting marketing activities such as affiliate marketing, display advertisement, email marketing, search marketing, and social media marketing among others. The significance and the relevance of online social media marketing have made this particular digital channel a topical subject of the digital era. The effects of social media have been felt in influencing both seller and buyer behaviors. However, the focus of this chapter is to address two important aspects of consumer behaviors in an online digital social media environment. First, the authors propose a conceptual framework of consumers' social media participation. Second, the chapter discusses how this participation affects consumers' behaviors including their purchases. Finally, the authors present a few econometric challenges associated with modeling consumers' social media participation and quantifying its impact on their behaviors.

This paper explores effects and issues associated with Social Media and Recruitment and whether it is effective as an innovative e-entrepreneurship method of attracting appropriate employees for enterprises from a multi stakeholder perspective. Human Resources Management professionals have been using different methods of Social Media in their recruitment strategies with varying degrees of success. By examining social media and its effect this can support the development of a more effective Human Resources Recruitment strategy. Additionally increased communication channels might enable the development of a more positive internal enterprise culture. The research was conducted using both primary and secondary data. Professionals, recruiters and employees have been questioned on their views of Social Media from a personal and a professional perspective through a variety of methods including focus groups and questionnaires. This paper provides a framework that can be used by enterprises in order to create their own Social Media recruitment cycle.
Historic Times v. Sullivan and Gertz v. Welch Supreme Court Decisions and Online Social Media Libel Law
Authors: Azriel Joshua , Mayo Charles
Published: September 2014

This article re-examines two historic Supreme Court's decisions—the 1964 Times v. Sullivan and the 1974 Gertz v. Welch—as they apply to the digital era. The Court's decision in Sullivan established the federal legal guidelines for a victim to prove a libel case including actual malice. In Gertz v. Welch the Court established three categories of public figures who must prove actual malice in a libel claim. The article reviews both cases within the context of social media defamation claims. The authors conclude that the Supreme Court decisions in Times v. Sullivan and Gertz v. Welch are still relevant in the era of online communication and social media.
Facebook and the Societal Aspects of Formal Learning
Authors: Woodley Carolyn , Dorrington Petrina
Published: September 2014

An online subject used social media to provide “collaborative spaces” that were “additional and complementary” to discussion in the university's Learning Management System (LMS). Facebook and Twitter provided optional “informal spaces” in which students “talk about general issues to do with media and connect with other students in the unit.” This chapter's analysis of Facebook posts shows a cooperative group of peers providing advice on assessment and recommending useful resources. Analysis, however, reveals that, as well as supportive posts, a proportion of posts could be considered inappropriate, distracting, or even, infrequently, inflammatory. Guidelines about acceptable behaviour must be imposed by teaching staff. More importantly, optional participation in social media sites requires critical consideration. If Facebook is used as a student support space for an online subject, it should be integrated into the curriculum and have an explicit purpose; making social media sites optional alongside mandatory university-supported platforms can prove problematic.
CostRFID
Authors: Engel Tobias , Goswami Suparna , Englschalk Andreas , Krcmar Helmut
Published: September 2014

Although many firms have initiated RFID projects, they often face significant difficulties in integrating RFID systems into their existing IT landscape. One such difficulty is the upfront estimation of the cost of the RFID integration project. This chapter addresses this issue by using a design science approach to provide a cost calculation for RFID integration projects. Drawing from literature in the fields of information systems and RFID, software engineering and supply chain management, the authors develop the cost calculation method that is then implemented in a prototype. The prototype is developed and evaluated in an iterative fashion using focus groups, RFID experts, and the cognitive walkthrough method. The authors contribute to theory by proposing a new cost calculation method to estimate the costs of RFID integration projects. Practical implications include a more accurate estimation of the cost of integrating RFID systems into the existing IT landscape and a risk reduction for RFID projects.
An Integrated Development Environment for RFID Applications
Authors: Kefalakis Nikos , Soldatos John
Published: September 2014

In recent years we have witnessed a proliferation of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) middleware systems and projects (including several open source projects), which are extensively used to support the emerging wave of RFID applications. Some of the RFID middleware projects come with simple tools, which facilitate the application development, configuration, and deployment processes. However, these tools tend to be fragmented since they address only part of an RFID system (such as the filtering of tag streams and/or the generation of business events). In this chapter, the authors introduce an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for RFID applications, which addresses multiple parts of an RFID application, while at the same time supporting the full application development lifecycle (i.e. design, development, deployment, and testing of RFID applications). The introduced IDE comprises a wide range of tools, which have been implemented as modular plug-ins to an Eclipse-based environment. The various tools enable application development, deployment, testing, and configurations over the middleware infrastructure established by the AspireRFID (AspireRFID Consortium, 2013), and their evaluation has proven that they can significantly ease RFID application development.
RFID Technology in Business and Valuation Methods
Authors: Lee In
Published: September 2014

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) became one of the major disruptive innovations that have attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners around the world. Recognizing the business value of RFID, firms are rapidly adopting RFID technology in a wide range of industries including hospitals, logistics, manufacturing, and retailing. Since the adoption of RFID largely depends on the perceived potential benefits and the investment costs, firms need to carefully assess every intangible and tangible benefits and costs to make sure the adoption is financially, operationally, and strategically justifiable. This chapter provides a literature review on RFID applications in business and valuation methods for RFID and presents an analytical evaluation model for RFID investment for manufacturing and retail organizations. Finally, this chapter concludes with the implications of the chapter for academics and practitioners.
Green School Frameworks
Authors: Metzger Anisa Baldwin
Published: September 2014

Many green schools frameworks exist to guide schools toward environmentally responsible choices. Through the various lenses that green school frameworks provide, we can see a fuller picture of what comprises a green school – within the physical space, the organizational culture and the educational mission. This chapter describes the underlying themes within several major K-12 green school frameworks in order to better explain each framework's purpose and interrelationship. The frameworks within this chapter vary in reach and scope, but all have similar aims: to create supportive school environments that teach students a deeper sense of their responsibility toward their community and their world. Because the goals of all green schools are, at root, global in scale, the pathways and the metrics can appear complex. This chapter provides an overview of the most widely-used frameworks to clarify the powerful underlying values that tie them together.
Green School Characteristics, Sustainability, and Student Learning
Authors: Tanner C. Kenneth
Published: September 2014

An exploration of learning environments within and around green schools provides the basis for this chapter. One of its most important goals is to encourage research on where students learn and the quantity of information that students learn, with parallel emphasis on sustainability, school design, and green schools. A general theme is to encourage the study of green schools within the broader context of the total physical environment, while viewing learning experiences and achievement of students through social, economic, efficacy, and sustainability perspectives. Several sustainable design perspectives are included in this chapter, and findings in five areas of school design research are associated with selected green school concepts. As a rather unique component akin to the affective dimension of explaining research findings, acknowledgement of the biophilia hypothesis is suggested as an alternative pathway to view context and enhance depth in research methods, procedures, and interpretation.
The School Walls Teach
Authors: Wolsey Thomas DeVere
Published: September 2014

This chapter draws on the extant literature and interviews with experts in the field as it relates to how students become involved and learn from the features of the school facility itself. In this chapter, three tiers of learning are suggested as overlapping and complementary means of learning in and from the built and natural environment. These include a reflective and visible one in which students have the opportunity to learn from features of the building through labeling, signage, and design features that foreground the design itself. Active learning opportunities are the foundation of the second approach. Involvement in green initiatives at the school and in the community is the basis for the third approach. Planning undergirds all three approaches.

Authors: Griffin Daphne , Chan Tak C.
Published: September 2014

The chapter is intended to examine the effort of a progressive school district toward advocating for the green school initiative. The school district's employment of the Planning, Programing, Budgeting, and Evaluation System to implementing green school concepts is reviewed for its effectiveness. The school district's green school effort is observed in the areas of new school construction, existing school renovations, school operational practices, and curriculum integration. While the school district continues its commitment to environmental greenness, suggestions are made to improve the implementation process. The chapter ends in highlighting the long-term benefits of green school initiative.
Integrating Sustainability into School Practices
Authors: Wang Ting
Published: September 2014

Education for sustainability remains fragmented because human knowledge of green schools and sustainability is not enough. This chapter develops a model to help school leaders and the general public to understand the importance of building green schools and implementing sustainable practices. This model provides a general overview of how to integrate sustainability into school practices. Student awareness is the key of the model, which indicates that sustainability can be realized at school if students have stronger environmental awareness. School leaders' attitudes are very decisive at the beginning of a new program. Meanwhile, school leaders have to face social pressure, which would ease the program or make it difficult to be implemented. Last but not least, some potential impacts, such as funding issues, could impact the implementation of green school practices. The chapter ends in presenting recommendations for implementing green school practices based on the proposed model.
The Role of Knowledge Management (KM) in Aged Care Informatics
Authors: Hume Margee , Hume Craig , Johnston Paul , Soar Jeffrey , Whitty Jon
Published: September 2014

Aged care is projected to be the fastest-growing sector within the health and community care industries (Reynolds, 2009). Strengthening the care-giving workforce, compliance, delivery, and technology is not only vital to our social infrastructure and improving the quality of care, but also has the potential to drive long-term economic growth and contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This chapter examines the role of Knowledge Management (KM) in aged care organizations to assist in the delivery of aged care. With limited research related to KM in aged care, this chapter advances knowledge and offers a unique view of KM from the perspective of 22 aged care stakeholders. Using in-depth interviewing, this chapter explores the definition of knowledge in aged care facilities, the importance of knowledge planning, capture, and diffusion for accreditation purposes, and offers recommendations for the development of sustainable knowledge management practice and development.
Ontology for Data Quality and Chronic Disease Management
Authors: Rahimi Alireza , Liaw Siaw-Teng , Ray Pradeep Kumar , Taggart Jane , Yu Hairong
Published: September 2014

Improved Data Quality (DQ) can improve the quality of decisions and lead to better policy in health organizations. Ontologies can support automated tools to assess DQ. This chapter examines ontology-based approaches to conceptualization and specification of DQ based on “fitness for purpose” within the health context. English language studies that addressed DQ, fitness for purpose, ontology-based approaches, and implementations were included. The authors screened 315 papers; excluded 36 duplicates, 182 on abstract review, and 46 on full-text review; leaving 52 papers. These were appraised with a realist “context-mechanism-impacts/outcomes” template. The authors found a lack of consensus frameworks or definitions for DQ and comprehensive ontological approaches to DQ or fitness for purpose. The majority of papers described the processes of the development of DQ tools. Some assessed the impact of implementing ontology-based specifications for DQ. There were few evaluative studies of the performance of DQ assessment tools developed; none compared ontological with non-ontological approaches.
Training-of-trainers: A strategy to build country capacity for SLMTA expansion and sustainability
Authors: Maruta Talkmore , Yao Katy , Ndlovu Nqobile , Moyo Sikhulile
Published: September 2014

Background: The Strengthening Laboratory Management Toward Accreditation (SLMTA) programme uses a training-of-trainers (TOT) model to build capacity for programme scale-up. The TOT strategy is designed to maximise utilisation of its graduates whilst minimising inconsistencies and ensuring high programme quality during global expansion.Objectives: To describe the SLMTA TOT programme approach.Methods: The two-week training, led by carefully selected and trained master trainers, enables effective and authentic implementation of the curriculum by its graduates. The teachback methodology used allows participants to practise teaching the curriculum whilst learning its content. A trainer’s toolkit provides all the materials necessary for teaching and must be followed faithfully during training. Two surveys were conducted to assess the effectiveness of the TOT strategy: one sent to 316 TOT graduates in 25 countries and the other sent to the programme leaders in 10 countries.Results: By the end of 2013, 433 SLMTA trainers had been trained who, in turn, taught more than 1900 people to implement SLMTA in 617 laboratories in 47 countries. Ninety-seven percent of the 433 TOT graduates and 87% of the 38 master trainers are based in developing countries. Ninety-two per cent of the graduates have been utilised at least once in programme implementation and, as of August 2013, 87% of them were still actively involved in programme activities. Ninety-seven per cent of the graduates stated that the TOT workshop prepared them well for training or other programme tasks.Conclusion: The SLMTA TOT strategy is effective in building local capacity for global programme expansion whilst maintaining programme quality.
Laughter in the Old Testament: A hotchpotch of humour, mockery and rejoicing?
Authors: Kruger Hennie A. J.
Published: September 2014

Aspects of humour appearing in society, religion, literature and speech have been discussed.The article investigated in particular the current tendency to interpret certain passages inthe Bible as evidence of humorous traits. In these cases humour is taken as an interpretative key. A prerequisite to provide a hermeneutical basis for reading the Old Testament in terms of humour has been discussed. A few texts that present Yahweh as laughing have been considered.Lag in die Ou Testament: ’n Mengelmoes van humor, bespotting en vreugde? Aspekte van humor wat in die gemeenskap, godsdiens, literatuur en omgangstaal voorkom, word bespreek. Die artikel gee veral aandag aan die huidige neiging om sekere tekste in die Bybel as voorbeelde wat humoristiese trekke vertoon, te verstaan. In sulke gevalle word die humorbegrip as ’n interpretasiesleutel hanteer. Die voorvereiste vir ’n hermeneutiese basis om die humorbegrip in die Ou Testament te verstaan, word bespreek. Enkele tekste waarin verwys word na die Here wat lag, word ook ondersoek.

Abstract. Particles containing soot, or black carbon, are generally considered to contribute to global warming. However, large uncertainties remain in the net climate forcing resulting from anthropogenic emissions of black carbon (BC), to a large extent due to the fact that BC is co-emitted with gases and primary particles, both organic and inorganic, and subject to atmospheric ageing processes. In this study, diesel exhaust particles and particles from a flame soot generator spiked with light aromatic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors were processed by UV radiation in a 6 m3 Teflon chamber in the presence of NOx. The time-dependent changes of the soot nanoparticle properties were characterised using a Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter, an Aerosol Particle Mass Analyzer and a Soot Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer. The results show that freshly emitted soot particles do not activate into cloud droplets at supersaturations ≤2%, i.e. the BC core coated with primary organic aerosol (POA) from the exhaust is limited in hygroscopicity. Before the onset of UV radiation it is unlikely that any substantial SOA formation is taking place. An immediate change in cloud-activation properties occurs at the onset of UV exposure. This change in hygroscopicity is likely attributed to SOA formed from intermediate volatility organic compounds (IVOCs) in the diesel engine exhaust. The change of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) properties at the onset of UV radiation implies that the lifetime of soot particles in the atmosphere is affected by the access to sunlight, which differs between latitudes. The ageing of soot particles progressively enhances their ability to act as cloud condensation nuclei, due to changes in: (I) organic fraction of the particle, (II) chemical properties of this fraction (e.g. primary or secondary organic aerosol), (III) particle size, and (IV) particle morphology. Applying κ-Köhler theory, using a κSOA value of 0.13 (derived from independent input parameters describing the organic material), showed good agreement with cloud droplet activation measurements for particles with a SOA mass fraction ≥0.12 (slightly aged particles). The activation properties are enhanced with only a slight increase in organic material coating the soot particles (SOA mass fraction < 0.12), however not as much as predicted by Köhler theory. The discrepancy between theory and experiments during the early stages of ageing might be due to solubility limitations, unevenly distributed organic material or hindering particle morphology. The change in properties of soot nanoparticles upon photochemical processing clearly increases their hygroscopicity, which affects their behaviour both in the atmosphere and in the human respiratory system.
A cloud detection algorithm using the downwelling infrared radiance measured by an infrared pyrometer of the ground-based microwave radiometer
Authors: Ahn M.-H. , Han D. , Won H.-Y. , Morris V.
Published: September 2014

Abstract. For a better utilization of the ground-based microwave radiometer, it is important to detect the cloud presence in the measured data. Here, we introduce a simple and fast cloud detection algorithm by using the optical characteristics of the clouds in the infrared atmospheric window region. The new algorithm utilizes the brightness temperature (Tb) measured by an infrared radiometer installed on top of a microwave radiometer. The two step algorithm consists of a spectral test followed by a temporal test. The measured Tb is first compared with a predicted clear sky Tb obtained by an empirical formula as a function of surface air temperature and water vapor pressure. For the temporal test, the temporal variability of the measured Tb during one minute compares with a dynamic threshold value, representing the variability of the clear sky condition. It is designated as cloud free data only when both the spectral and temporal tests confirm a cloud free data. Overall, most of the thick and uniform clouds are successfully screened out by the spectral test, while the broken and fast-varying clouds are screened out by the temporal test. The algorithm is validated by comparison with the collocated ceilometer data for 6 months, from January 2013 to June 2013. The overall proportion correct is about 88.3% and the probability of detection is 90.8%, which are comparable with or better than those of previous similar approaches. Two thirds of failures occur when the new algorithm detects clouds while the ceilometer does not detect, resulting in different values of the probability of detection with different cloud base altitude, 93.8, 90.3, and 82.8% for low, mid, and high clouds, respectively. Finally, due to the characteristics of the spectral range, the new algorithm is found to be insensitive to the presence of inversion layers.
A reduced-order modeling approach to represent subgrid-scale hydrological dynamics for land-surface simulations: application in a polygonal tundra landscape
Authors: Pau G. S. H. , Bisht G. , Riley W. J.
Published: September 2014

Abstract. Existing land surface models (LSMs) describe physical and biological processes that occur over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. For example, biogeochemical and hydrological processes responsible for carbon (CO2, CH4) exchanges with the atmosphere range from the molecular scale (pore-scale O2 consumption) to tens of kilometers (vegetation distribution, river networks). Additionally, many processes within LSMs are nonlinearly coupled (e.g., methane production and soil moisture dynamics), and therefore simple linear upscaling techniques can result in large prediction error. In this paper we applied a reduced-order modeling (ROM) technique known as "proper orthogonal decomposition mapping method" that reconstructs temporally resolved fine-resolution solutions based on coarse-resolution solutions. We developed four different methods and applied them to four study sites in a polygonal tundra landscape near Barrow, Alaska. Coupled surface–subsurface isothermal simulations were performed for summer months (June–September) at fine (0.25 m) and coarse (8 m) horizontal resolutions. We used simulation results from three summer seasons (1998–2000) to build ROMs of the 4-D soil moisture field for the study sites individually (single-site) and aggregated (multi-site). The results indicate that the ROM produced a significant computational speedup (> 103) with very small relative approximation error (< 0.1%) for 2 validation years not used in training the ROM. We also demonstrate that our approach: (1) efficiently corrects for coarse-resolution model bias and (2) can be used for polygonal tundra sites not included in the training data set with relatively good accuracy (< 1.7% relative error), thereby allowing for the possibility of applying these ROMs across a much larger landscape. By coupling the ROMs constructed at different scales together hierarchically, this method has the potential to efficiently increase the resolution of land models for coupled climate simulations to spatial scales consistent with mechanistic physical process representation.
A review of droughts on the African continent: a geospatial and long-term perspective
Authors: Masih I. , Maskey S. , Mussá F. E. F. , Trambauer P.
Published: September 2014

Abstract. This paper presents a comprehensive review and analysis of the available literature and information on droughts to build a continental, regional and country level perspective on geospatial and temporal variation of droughts in Africa. The study is based on the review and analysis of droughts occurred during 1900–2013, as well as evidence available from past centuries based on studies on the lake sediment analysis, tree-ring chronologies and written and oral histories and future predictions from the global climate change models. Most of the studies based on instrumental records indicate that droughts have become more frequent, intense and widespread during the last 50 years. The extreme droughts of 1972–1973, 1983–1984 and 1991–1992 were continental in nature and stand unique in the available records. Additionally, many severe and prolonged droughts were recorded in the recent past such as the 1999–2002 drought in northwest Africa, 1970s and 1980s droughts in western Africa (Sahel), 2010–2011 drought in eastern Africa (Horn of Africa) and 2001–2003 drought in southern and southeastern Africa, to name a few. The available (though limited) evidence before the 20th century confirms the occurrence of several extreme and multi-year droughts during each century, with the most prolonged and intense droughts that occurred in Sahel and equatorial eastern Africa. The complex and highly variant nature of many physical mechanisms such as El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), sea surface temperature (SST) and land–atmosphere feedback adds to the daunting challenge of drought monitoring and forecasting. The future predictions of droughts based on global climate models indicate increased droughts and aridity at the continental scale but large differences exist due to model limitations and complexity of the processes especially for Sahel and northern Africa. However, the available evidence from the past clearly shows that the African continent is likely to face extreme and widespread droughts in future. This evident challenge is likely to aggravate due to slow progress in drought risk management, increased population and demand for water and degradation of land and environment. Thus, there is a clear need for increased and integrated efforts in drought mitigation to reduce the negative impacts of droughts anticipated in the future.
Analysis of the French insurance market exposure to floods: a stochastic model combining river overflow and surface runoff

Published: September 2014

Abstract. The analysis of flood exposure at a national scale for the French insurance market must combine the generation of a probabilistic event set of all possible (but which have not yet occurred) flood situations with hazard and damage modeling. In this study, hazard and damage models are calibrated on a 1995–2010 historical event set, both for hazard results (river flow, flooded areas) and loss estimations. Thus, uncertainties in the deterministic estimation of a single event loss are known before simulating a probabilistic event set. To take into account at least 90 % of the insured flood losses, the probabilistic event set must combine the river overflow (small and large catchments) with the surface runoff, due to heavy rainfall, on the slopes of the watershed. Indeed, internal studies of the CCR (Caisse Centrale de Reassurance) claim database have shown that approximately 45 % of the insured flood losses are located inside the floodplains and 45 % outside. Another 10 % is due to sea surge floods and groundwater rise. In this approach, two independent probabilistic methods are combined to create a single flood loss distribution: a generation of fictive river flows based on the historical records of the river gauge network and a generation of fictive rain fields on small catchments, calibrated on the 1958–2010 Météo-France rain database SAFRAN. All the events in the probabilistic event sets are simulated with the deterministic model. This hazard and damage distribution is used to simulate the flood losses at the national scale for an insurance company (Macif) and to generate flood areas associated with hazard return periods. The flood maps concern river overflow and surface water runoff. Validation of these maps is conducted by comparison with the address located claim data on a small catchment (downstream Argens).

TEATRO DE COELHO NETTO: UMA LEITURA CONTEUDÍSTICA
Authors: MORAIS DA COSTA MARTA
Published: September 2014

A dramaturgia de Coelho Netto apresenta redundâncias de temas o motivos que, em seu interrelacionamento, oferecem um quadro artístico das contradições da sociedade burguesa do inicio do século XX no Brasil. O valor do dinheiro como agente deco-rupção, a crítica ã instituição do casamento e da família, através da quebra do tabu da virgindade e pela apresentação do adultério feminino, consentido pela omissão do marido. Isfo esté colocado no jogo dos personagens, que ocupam funçõesconflitantes: ou de adjuvantes ou de oponentes, desejando, cada um deles, objetos também conflitantes. É a oposição entre o amor e a sinceridade contra a falsidade e o desejo de ascensão social. Deste choque resulta a venda do amor e da mulher.Mas, numa posição ideológica idealista, o amor e a sinceridade sempre vencem.A forma de expressão dramática, principalmente o drama e a comédia de costumes, oferece apenas uma visão sintética das tendências literárias de sua época: o Realismo-Naturalismo, o simbolismo, a visão nacionalista da terra. Em síntese, é um teatro que reflete, formal e confeudisticamente, o momento detransição que precede a eclosão do importante período modernista brasileiro.
LÍNGUA E "RECORTE" DA REALIDADE
Authors: Robl Affonso
Published: September 2014

O autor deste artigo aborda a relação lingua-cultura, sob o enfoque de um relativismo lingüístico moderado: a língua, porque organiza e articula a multiplicidade do concreto e a realidade do espírito, é de certa forma causa das estruturas sociais, culturais e psíquicas.Depois de lembrar a perspectiva sociolingüística, passa a examinar a teoria da "Wcltansicht" de Humboldt e os postulados neo-humboldtianos, para desembocar nas "Taxionomias populares" dos etnolingüislas norte-americanos.Faz uma análise detalhada da hipótese Sapir-Whorf, criticando osevidentes exageros da relatividade lingüística whorfiana.Defende a tese de que a língua não decalca a realidade. Cada língua se assemelha a um prisma (ou grade), através do qual os falantes vêem. de maneira peculiar e própria, o seu mundo interno e externo.Note-se, porém, que os efeitos da estrutura lingüística sobrea nossa "realidade social", por enquanto, não foram suficientemente estudados e determinados.O determinismo lingüístico — conclui — nos faz entender que alíngua não é simplesmente um instrumento que nós controlamos; ela também nos controla.
ARTIGO INDEFINIDO E NUMERAL
Authors: Sandmann Antônio José
Published: September 2014

O artigo indefinido um originou-se do numerai latino unu, línguaem que este só esporadicamente funcionava como artigo. Diverge-se sobre o aparecimento da nasal bilabial no feminino uma. Explica-o, mais Drovavelmente, a grafia de u-a. aue também se escrevia um-a Quanto à categoria gramatical de número plural só o artigo a possui, porque o numerai, indicando a unidade, a quantidade unitária, não pode ter plural.Se se considerar a distribuição em paradigmas, aparece outradiferença entre o numerai e o artigo: este está cm oposição ao artigo definido o, e aquele, a dois, três, quatro, etc. A maior diferença está, porém na intensidade com que são pronunciados.O artigo não tem "status" de vocábulo fonològico porquede intensidade 1. O numeral o tem, porque de intensidade 2. Nasrespostas, por outro lado, o numerai ocorre sozinho, formando frase. Não assim o artigo.
MÓDULOS DE JULGAMENTO NA CRÍTICA DE ARARIPE JÚNIOR (PERÍODO DE 1868-1900)
Authors: Lacerda Carollo Cassiana
Published: September 2014

Partindo das contradições implícitas no contexto ideológico dacrítica realista, dedectadas através das dicotomías cientificismo/problema de valor, radicalismo metodológico/multiplicidade de vertentes e/ou ecletismo, o presente trabalho pretende situar a posição ocupadapela obra de Araripe Júnior, verificando as várias opções da críticagenética no Brasil, para propor uma discussão sobre a pertinência de cerlas classificações de sua produção (de Araripe Júnior) como /eclética" ou "benevolente". Vale dizer, na medida em que na atividade crítica do período de 1869 a 1900 vai se insistir pelo caráter evolutivo do pensamento autor, à busca dc métodos que melhor conciliem a tendência de incorporar o critério de valoração da obra ao cientificismo radical de certos estudos, ligam-se as primeiras soluções
REPORTAGEM DE GUERRA DAS DUAS FRENTES LITERÁRIAS ALEMÃS
Authors: Wischmann Christine
Published: September 2014

Em princípios do verão europeu de 1975, divulgou-se em periódicosalemães ocidentais uma singular e renhida polêmica literária.Causador foi um filósofo alemão da RDA, que através de publicações alemãs orientais e ocidentais, há algum tempo se voltara contra a moda literária de compilar e sexualizar, e cuja atual crítica contra uma biografia alemã ocidental de Marx, todavia, se tornou a causa imediata de uma disputa multiplicadora. Paradoxalmente, por meio dessa disputa, entendidos em literatura alemã ocidental e oriental lograram maior aproximação.
O ÚLTIMO DOS MOHICANOS e O GUARANI: DUAS VISÕES PARALELAS DO NOVO MUNDO
Authors: M. Loureiro Consuelo
Published: September 2014

Embora José de Alencar negasse qualquer afinidade entre o seuromance, O Guarani, e The Last of the Mohicans de James Fenimore Cooper, de fato as duas obras compartilham aspectos capitais a respeito de temática, propósito e caraterização. Ambas obras têm sido criticadas por apresentarem precisamente o que os autores pretendiam apresentar, quer dizer, uma versão idealizada em vez de historicamente exata do índio e da imensa floresta americana. Da mesma maneira que os românticos da Europa procuraram na Idade Média as virtudes de inocência, fé e coragem, Cooper e Alencar criaram os idênticos valores medievais nas regiões silvestres do Novo Mundo ao exaltarem o indígena já destruído pela civilização do branco. Peri e Uncas encarnam todas as qualidades de beleza física e excelência moral que os românticos tinham concedido a sua imagem simbólica
O USO DO DIÁLOGO NO MEMORIAL DE AIRES
Authors: Weinhardt Marilene
Published: September 2014

0 estudo dos níveis da fala fornece elementos para o conhecimento da personagem, do narrador, e mesmo do autor. O Memorial de Aires é um diário, o que denota uma marcação de tempo cronológico. O narrador é uma personagem e a narrativa élimitada ao seu campo de visão. A escolha das réplicas que figurarão em diálogo direto, indireto, ou em indireto livre estarão sempre submetidas à relativização do narrador.Elemento de destaque no estudo do discurso do Memorial de Aires é o constante policiamento da linguagem. O narrador não se deixa levar pelo entusiasmo. As palavras são medidas e pesadas.Todas as personagens surgem aos olhos do leitor pelo prisma doConselheiro Aires. O velho diplomata ocupa-se em observar o próximo e elaborar ou confirmar sua irônica e cética filosofia de vida.O passado, a infância, a vida na Europa, constituem vivências que o levaram à visão de mundo confirmada com a história de Tristão e Fidélia.
