Imagined Insecurities in Imagined Communities: Manufacturing the Ethnoreligious ‘Others’ as Security Threats
Authors: Magcamit Michael
Published: July 2019

How does a once familiar and benign ethnoreligious community become a stranger and a threat? This paper examines the underlying cyclical process that drives different ethnoreligious factions within a territorially bounded polity to frame each other as threats to their relative security and power position. By synthesizing interdisciplinary theories on security, religion, and nationalism, I develop a framework that explains how collective imagined insecurities are manufactured as tangible security threats. In particular, it identifies and describes the phases and the dynamics through which threatening conceptions and narratives about the ethnoreligious ‘others’ are developed, socialized, and legitimized. Applying this framework to analyze the lingering tensions between Muslim and Christian communities in Indonesia, I argue that this chauvinistic, zero-sum practice is underpinned by a three-phase cycle that is being precipitated by the emotive effects of ethnoreligious nationalism; hostile predispositions to securitize other ethnoreligious categories; and perceived indivisibility of sacred ethnoreligious homelands.

(1) Background: Major causes of the burden of disease in older persons include mental disorders and neurological diseases, such as depression. This study aims to explore the prevalence of older people at risk for depression and identify the factors associated with this risk in rural Vietnam. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Soc Son, Hanoi with 523 community dwelling elders aged 60 and over. Face-to-face interviews were performed to collect data about socioeconomic status, risk for depression, health status, and health utilization. The Geriatric Depression Scale-4 items (GDS-4) was used to assess the risk for depression occurrence. Multivariable logistic regression was employed for determining the factors associated with the risk for depression. (3) Results: Among 523 participants, there were 26.4% of participants at risk for depression. The proportion of females at risk for depression (29.0%) was significantly higher than males (20.4%). Differences were found in economic status (near poor group had higher risk for depression compared to the poor group) (p < 0.01). Older adults living with spouse/partner, living in near-poor household, and suffering pain/discomfort were all more likely to be at risk for depression. (4) Conclusions: Being female, living in a near poor household, being in pain or experiencing discomfort are all factors strongly correlated to high risk for depression. These findings highlight the urgent need for additional research among Vietnamese community-dwelling older people.

Published: July 2019

The frequency of extreme heat events, such as the summer of 2003 in Europe, and their corresponding consequences for human beings are expected to increase under a warmer climate. The joint collaboration of institutional agencies and multidisciplinary approaches is essential for a successful development of heat-health warning systems and action plans which can reduce the impacts of extreme heat on the population. The present work constitutes a state-of-the-art review of 16 European heat-health warning systems and heat-health action plans, based on the existing literature, web search (over the National Meteorological Services websites) and questionnaires. The aim of this study is to pave the way for future heat-health warning systems, such as the one currently under development in the framework of the Horizon 2020 HEAT-SHIELD project. Some aspects are highlighted among the variety of examined European warning systems. The meteorological variables that trigger the warnings should present a clear link with the impact under consideration and should be chosen depending on the purpose and target of the warnings. Setting long-term planning actions as well as pre-alert levels might prevent and reduce damages due to heat. Finally, education and communication are key elements of the success of a warning system.

The allicin pleiotropic effects, which include anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral, and antibacterial actions, were well demonstrated and correlated with various molecular pathways. The immunostimulatory mechanism of allicin has not been elucidated; however, there is a possible cytokine stimulation from immunoglobulin release caused by allicin. In this study, when Wistar female rats and CD19+ lymphocytes were treated with three different doses of allicin, immunoglobulins, glutathione, and oxidative stress markers were assayed. Molecular docking was performed between S-allylmercaptoglutathione (GSSA)—a circulating form of allicin in in vivo systems formed by the allicin interaction with glutathione (GSH)—and scavenger receptors class A and B from macrophages, as well as CD19+ B lymphocytes. Our data demonstrated a humoral immunostimulatory effect of allicin in rats and direct stimulation of B lymphocytes by S-allyl-mercapto-glutathione, both correlated with decreased catalase (CAT) activity. The molecular docking revealed that S-allyl-mercapto-glutathione interacting with Colec12, MARCO (class A), and SCARB1 (class B) scavenger receptors in in vitro tests demonstrates a direct stimulation of immunoglobulin secretion by GSSA in CD19+ B lymphocytes. These data collectively indicate that GSSA stimulates immunoglobulin secretion by binding on scavenger receptors class B type 1 (SCARB1) from CD19+ B lymphocytes.

Published: July 2019

To identify tissues and molecules involved in refractive myopic shift and axial length elongation in a murine lens-induced myopia model, we performed a comprehensive analysis of microRNA (miRNA) expression. Three weeks after negative 30 diopter lens fixation on three-week-old C57BL/6J mice, total RNA was extracted from individual ocular components including cornea, iris, lens, retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid, and sclera tissue. The miRNA expression analysis was pooled from three samples and carried out using Agilent Mouse miRNA Microarray (8 × 60 K) miRBase21.0. The expression ratio was calculated, and differentially expressed miRNAs were extracted, using GeneSpring GX 14.5. Myopic induction showed a significant myopic refractive change, axial elongation, and choroidal thinning. Through the comprehensive miRNA analysis, several upregulated miRNAs (56 in cornea tissue, 13 in iris tissue, 6 in lens tissue, 0 in retina tissue, 29 in RPE/choroid tissue, and 30 in sclera tissue) and downregulated miRNAs (7 in cornea tissue, 28 in iris tissue, 17 in lens tissue, 9 in retina tissue, 7 in RPE/choroid tissue, and 40 in sclera tissue) were observed. Overlapping expression changes in miRNAs were also found in different ocular components. Some of this miRNA dysregulation may be functionally involved in refractive myopia shift and axial length elongation.

Published: July 2019

Fungal keratitis (FK) is one of the most severe corneal infectious diseases. FK often leads to poor visual prognosis and thus requires accurate diagnosis. Conventional approaches, including clinical diagnoses, smears, and cultures, often fail to provide reliable diagnostic value. Omics approaches, such as those using genomic, metagenomic, and tear proteomic data sources, provide promising features for improving the diagnosis and monitoring the progression of FK. Genomic approaches are based mainly on detecting amplicons of ribosomal RNA genes, and internal transcribed spacers are gradually gaining popularity in clinical practices. A metagenomic approach based on 16S rRNA genes may help monitor the dynamic change of conjunctival microbiota associated with an FK event, whereas that based on shot-gun and 18S rRNA target enrichment sequencing could have the potential to diagnose FK using clinical samples. A tear proteomic approach may provide comprehensive information about ocular surface defense and injury during FK. Representative up- and down-regulated proteins during FK could also be used as biomarkers to determine the clinical course and develop a treatment strategy in different stages of FK. Consequently, a personalized tear proteomic approach will soon play a key role in FK management.

Nitrogen (N) is one of the indispensable factors in rice growth and development. China holds a premier position in the production of rice and at the same time also faces higher N fertilizer costs along with serious damage to the environment. A better solution is much needed to address these issues, without disrupting the production of rice as an important cereal, while minimizing all the deleterious effects on the environment. Two isogenic lines Kitaake (WT) and its genetically modified line CIPK2 (RC), overexpressing the gene for Calcineurin B-like interacting protein kinase 2 (OsCIPK2) with better nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), were compared for their growth and development under low versus normal levels of N. NUE is a complex trait mainly related to a plant’s efficiency in extraction, assimilation, and recycling of N from soil. The microbial population was analyzed using high-throughput Illumina Miseq 16S rRNA sequencing and found that RC with CIPK2, specifically expressed in rice root, not only performed better without nitrogen fertilizer (LN) but also increased the diversity of bacterial communities in rice rhizosphere compartments (rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and endosphere). The relative abundance of beneficial bacteria phyla increased, which are known to promote the circulation and transformation of N in rhizosphere soil. To further explore the potential of RC regarding better performance under LN, the ion fluxes in root apical were detected by non-invasive micro-test technique (NMT). We found that RC can absorb more Ca2+ and NO3− under LN as compared to WT. Finally, compared to WT, RC plants exhibited better growth of root and shoot, and increased yield and N uptake under LN, whereas there was no significant difference in the growth of two rice lines under normal nitrogen (NN) treatment. We are able to get preliminary results, dealing with the OsCIPK2 overexpressed rice line, by studying the rice molecular, physiological, and chemical parameters related to NUE. The results laid the foundation for further research on N absorption and utilization in rice from the soil and the interaction with microbial communities.
Electronic Percolation Threshold of Self-Standing Ag-LaCoO3 Porous Electrodes for Practical Applications
Authors: Enache Stanica , Dragan Mirela , Varlam Mihai , Petrov Konstantin
Published: July 2019

Perovskite LaCoO 3 materials have various applications, from selective permeable membranes and gas sensing devices to water splitting applications. However, the intrinsic electrical resistivity of the perovskite limits the applicative potential. To overcome that, Ag powder was used with LaCoO 3 to obtain porous composite electrodes with enhanced conductivities. For that, a series of composite Ag-LaCoO 3 powders were prepared into pellets and pre-sintered at various temperatures up to 1000 ∘ C. Their structural properties and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The electronic transport of compacted specimens was studied by impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that the presence of Ag acts as pre-sintering additive to obtain porous electrodes, with porosity values as high as 40% at 50 vol. % Ag. Moreover, the overall electrical resistivity of the composite electrodes varied well over four orders of magnitude. The results are discussed within the generalized Bruggeman theory for effective media comprising arbitrarily shaped metallic and semiconducting inclusions.
Potent Vasodilator and Cellular Antioxidant Activity of Endemic Patagonian Calafate Berries (Berberis microphylla) with Nutraceutical Potential
Authors: Calfío Camila , Huidobro-Toro Juan Pablo
Published: July 2019

Hydroalcoholic extracts of Patagonian Calafate berry (Berberis microphylla) contain mono or disaccharide conjugated anthocyanins and flavonols. The Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) chemical extract profile identified glycosylated anthocyanidins such as delphinidin-, petunidin- and malvidin-3-glucoside as the major constituents. The predominant flavonols were 3-O substituents quercetin-rutinoside or -rhamnoside. Anthocyanins doubled flavonols in mass (13.1 vs. 6 mg/g extract). Polyphenols vascular actions were examined in the rat arterial mesenteric bed bioassay; extract perfusion elicited concentration-dependent vasodilatation mimicked by conjugated anthocyanins standards. Vascular responses of main glycosylated anthocyanins were endothelium-dependent (p < 0.001) and mediated by NO production (p < 0.05). The anthocyanins antioxidant activity determined in isolated endothelial cells (CAA) showed a reduced redox potential as compared to the extract or quercetin. While in the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the anthocyanins showed an equivalent quercetin potency, the extract was 15-fold less active, proposing that the anthocyanin-induced vasodilation is not due to an antioxidant mechanism. The extract shows promising commercial nutraceutical potential.

Bee pollen contains all the essential amino acids needed by humans. China is the largest producer of bee pollen in the world. In the present study, we identified 11 fatty acids in F. esculentum bee pollen oil by GC-MS analysis, and 16 compounds were isolated from F. esculentum bee pollen by column chromatography and identified. A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method was established for the quality control of F. esculentum bee pollen. A validated HPLC-DAD method was successfully applied to the simultaneous characterization and quantification of nine main constituents in seven samples collected from seven different areas in China. The results showed that all standard calibration curves exhibited good linearity (R2 > 0.999) in HPLC-DAD analysis with excellent precision, repeatability and stability. The total amount in the samples from the seven regions ranged from 23.50 to 46.05 mg/g. In addition, seven compounds were studied for their bioactivity using enzymic methods, whereby kaempferol (3) showed high α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50: 80.35 μg/mL), ergosterol peroxide (8) showed high tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC50: 202.37 μg/mL), and luteolin (1) had strong acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC50: 476.25 μg/mL). All results indicated that F. esculentum bee pollen could be a nutritious health food.

Authors: Mihelj Jernej , Zhang Yuan , Kos Andrej , Sedlar Urban
Published: July 2019

Real-time data about various traffic events and conditions—offences, accidents, dangerous driving, or dangerous road conditions—is crucial for safe and efficient transportation. Unlike roadside infrastructure data which are often limited in scope and quantity, crowdsensing approaches promise much broader and comprehensive coverage of traffic events. However, to ensure safe and efficient traffic operation, assessing trustworthiness of crowdsourced data is of crucial importance; this also includes detection of intentional or unintentional manipulation, deception, and spamming. In this paper, we design and demonstrate a road traffic event detection and source reputation assessment system for unreliable data sources. Special care is taken to adapt the system for operation in decentralized mode, using smart contracts on a Turing-complete blockchain platform, eliminating single authority over such systems and increasing resilience to institutional data manipulation. The proposed solution was evaluated using both a synthetic traffic event dataset and a dataset gathered from real users, using a traffic event reporting mobile application in a professional driving simulator used for driver training. The results show the proposed system can accurately detect a range of manipulative and misreporting behaviors, and quickly converges to the final trust score even in a resource-constrained environment of a blockchain platform virtual machine.

Public participation plays an important role of traffic planning and management, but it is a great challenge to collect and analyze public opinions for traffic problems on a large scale under traditional methods. Traffic management departments should appropriately adopt public opinions in order to formulate scientific and reasonable regulations and policies. At present, while increasing degree of public participation, data collection and processing should be accelerated to make up for the shortcomings of traditional planning. This paper focuses on text analysis using large data with temporal and spatial attributes of social network platform. Web crawler technology is used to obtain traffic-related text in mainstream social platforms. After basic treatment, the emotional tendency of the text is analyzed. Then, based on the probabilistic topic modeling (latent Dirichlet allocation model), the main opinions of the public are extracted, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of the data are summarized. Taking Nanjing Metro as an example, the existing problems are summarized from the public opinions and improvement measures are put forward, which proves the feasibility of providing technical support for public participation in public transport with social media big data.

Este  artigo  se  propõe  à  reflexão  sobre  as  literaturas  conhecidas  como  francófonas.  Nós problematizamos essa ideia, levando-se em conta sua importância, uma vez que as definições sobre esse assunto variam  em  função  do  lugar  do  discurso,  das  proposições  e  das  disposições  de  vários  pesquisadores  que  se debruçam sobre essa temática.  Dessa forma, desenha-se uma perspectiva, um olhar diferente para interrogar ou desconstruir  o  que  aparece  como  evidência.  Acrescente-se  ainda  que  o  nascimento  dessa  literatura  estaria indissociável da “emergência de uma consciência política” desde o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial e gerações vêm  pontuando/acompanhando  a  evolução  da  escrita  francófona  no  Maghreb,  por  exemplo.  Dessa  forma,  nós trazemos o debate sobre as literaturas francófonas, considerando-se os seus mais variados aspectos.
A escrita da mulher como consciência: o caderno, a contestação e a mudança proibidos
Authors: Scoralick Joyce , Imbroisi Waldyr
Published: July 2019

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o romance Caderno Proibido (Quaderno proibito), de Alba  de  Céspedes,  estudando  as  relações  entre  a  mulher  da  metade  do  século  XX  e  aquilo  que  a  cerca,  e  os contrastes  entre  os  seus  papeis  e  comportamentos  esperados  e  o  desenvolvimento  de  uma  subjetividade, conscientemente  apreendida  a  partir  da  escritura.  A  personagem  principal,  através  da  escritura  de  um  diário secreto, denuncia os eventos que se dão a partir de suas relações com a família e a sociedade sexista da época, construindo  um  texto  em  que  contrastam  o  discurso  hegemônico,  manifesto  em  seus  atos  e  palavras,  e  um discurso anti-ideológico,  calcado na construção de uma subjetividade com potência contrária ao esperado pelo meio.

O professor de Língua Portuguesa no contexto atual: desafios e avanços
Authors: Freitas Manoel Guilherme de , Barbosa Maria do Socorro Maia Fernandes
Published: July 2019

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre o ensino de língua portuguesa no contexto atual. Para tanto, exporemos como, ainda, está ligado ao Estruturalismo linguístico, embora já exista uma parcela de professores que tem no Funcionalismo Linguístico e nas teorias de enunciação/interação, a corrente linguística adotada cotidianamente nas salas de aula. Dessa forma, o ensino de LP convive com essa mistura e/ou fusão de concepções de ensino, prejudicando assim, o seu avanço, tendo em vista que não deveria mais concebê-lo enquanto cópia, mecanização, exposição oral, fora de um contexto real de uso, senão também distante dos falantes reais da língua. Para tanto, o professor neste contexto deve buscar as transformações necessárias à formação de um leitor critico, partindo do uso de gêneros textuais diversos, não de maneira estática, mas como textos significativos, onde a sala de aula possa ser um habitat de troca, de interação entre os alunos-sujeitos, jamais como pretexto para exploração de uma gramática ideal, que não satisfaz à realidade dos alunos. Portanto, num contexto plural, é preciso levar em consideração que a língua não é homogênea e deve estar à disposição dos falantes nativos para defender pontos de vista, criticar, opinar, expressar coerentemente dentro do contexto de uso.

Atividades de língua(gem) no livro didático: a tira cômica em foco
Authors: Silva Sandro Luis da
Published: July 2019

O livro didático de português (LDP) constitui-se em um instrumento cultural que responde a diferentes contextos de exigências, como, por exemplo, aqueles voltados para o planejamento e implementação de currículo. Trazemos neste texto reflexões sobre o “como” as unidades LDP do 6º. ano trabalham a tira cômica nas atividades de língua(gem) como propõem os PCNs (1998). O corpus desta pesquisa é um livro da Scipione (TERRA; CAVALLETE, 2009), recorte de uma pesquisa maior em que se procura analisar, O referencial teórico que sustentará a análise são os estudos, sobretudo, de Rojo e Batista (2003), que discutem os propósitos do livro didático no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Em relação ao gênero, a teoria de Bakhtin (2003), Schneuwly e Dolz (2004). Ramos (2010) respalda o gênero tira cômica. A metodologia utilizou-se de levantamento bibliográfico, por meio de análise das unidades do livro que compõe o corpus. Pelo estudo realizado até o momento, observou-se que se torna fundamental, no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, uma reflexão sobre as atividades de língua(gem) propostas nos LDP, a partir das tiras cômicas, que não podem ser apenas um pretexto para o ensino da gramática normativa, mas sim um gênero capaz de levar o educando a pensar na língua oral e escrita como meios de interação social.
Didatizando o gênero relato de experiência no Ensino Fundamental: reflexão sobre reescrita textual
Authors: Eulálio Marcela de Melo Cordeiro , Nascimento Juliana Ramos do , Albuquerque Maria do Socorro Paz e
Published: July 2019

A regência de ensino é uma etapa na formação do professor, que busca aliar a teoria à prática do ensino. Tal prática, conforme Zabala (1998), apud Pimenta (2004), obedece a diversos determinantes, visto haver sua justificativa nos parâmetros institucionais, bem como nas tradições metodológicas, nas possibilidades reais dos professores e nas tradições existentes. Pensando nessas orientações, lembramos que os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais também esclarecem que o ensino deve ser orientado por uma sequência didática que, para Dolz, Noverraz e Schneuwly (2004) é “um conjunto de atividades escolares organizadas, de maneira sistemática, em torno de um gênero textual oral ou escrito”. Assim, neste trabalho, objetivamos analisar nossa experiência com a didatização do gênero relato de experiência no ensino fundamental, vivenciada na disciplina Prática de Ensino da Língua Portuguesa I do curso de Letras da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande-PB. Além disso, faremos uma reflexão sobre as atividades vivenciadas pelos alunos do 8º ano de Escola Pública do Ensino Fundamental, como a produção do gênero relato de experiência, após uma entrevista realizada com a ex-coordenadora da saúde do idoso de Campina Grande-PB a qual possibilitou aos discentes o conhecimento da realidade dos idosos de nossa cidade que sofrem violência física e simbólica. Metodologicamente, basear-nos-emos nas noções de Dolz, Noverraz e Schneuwly (2004), sobre sequência didática; de Marcuschi (2008), sobre gênero textual; de Antunes (2005), sobre o conceito da escrita, dentre outros. Veremos, então, o quão importante é a elaboração de uma situação didática de produção textual para instigar os alunos a serem sujeitos escritores.
Do esquema ao artigo de pesquisa: o como fazer e o que não fazer
Authors: Pereira Paulo Ricardo Soares
Published: July 2019

A produção de textos acadêmicos configura-se como uma prática necessária e imprescindível na vida acadêmica dos alunos no ensino superior. Perante as várias demandas dos professores e exigências curriculares, os estudantes se deparam com diferentes gêneros, estruturas e objetivos, tendo frequentemente no processo de produção – escrita – dos textos acadêmicos uma verdadeira odisseia, não deixando assim, de fazer a célebre pergunta: Professor, como é que se faz? Independente dos motivos que justifiquem o não reconhecimento e/ou a falta de proficiência diante à exigência de produção de um determinado gênero em nível acadêmico, é indiscutível que esses alunos precisam discutir, analisar e compreender os procedimentos específicos que circundam cada tipo de trabalho/produção de um texto (gênero) acadêmico. Neste sentido, ao longo de cinco capítulos da obra, Professora, como é que se faz?, organizada pela professora Elizabeth Maria da Silva, são propostos e discutidos mecanismos de elaboração,de retextualização e didatização de gêneros representativos desse tipo de escrita – a acadêmica – como o esquema, o resumo, a resenha e o artigo de pesquisa. A leitura deste livro nos permite prontamente compreendê-lo como uma alternativa de auxílio para que estudantes desenvolvam sua competência comunicativa, essencialmente, da escrita.

As implicações do internetês na ortografia: um estudo em duas escolas públicas paulistas
Authors: Silva Anderson Cristiano da
Published: July 2019

Este trabalho discute a presença do Internetês dentro das salas de aula, bem como o impacto que esse fenômeno representa na visão de alunos e professores de escolas públicas nas cidades de São José dos Campos e Taubaté. Além disso, o presente artigo tem como objetivo a reflexão sobre o impacto da linguagem dos internautas em produções de texto de sala de aula, tendo como ponto de partida fundamentos teóricos de gramáticos normativos da Língua Portuguesa e pesquisadores da área, levando-se em consideração os aspectos históricos e contemporâneos. Em termos metodológicos, foram aplicados questionários estruturados em alunos do 9º ano e de professores de português. Os questionários que foram utilizados para análise embasam nossas conclusões acompanhadas de uma reflexão a respeito da presença do Internetês como uma das novas modalidades de escrita. Nesse sentido, foi problematizada a ideia de como trabalhar com esse desafio em sala de aula, sem violar a língua padrão.
Death of a Salesman: elementos da tragédia clássica no drama moderno de Arthur Miller
Authors: Araújo Alyne Ferreira de , Lopes Francisco Edson de Freitas , Dias Daise Lilian Fonseca
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar, sob a perspectiva aristotélica, elementos da tragédia clássica em Death of a salesman [A morte do caixeiro viajante], escrita em 1949 por Arthur Miller (1915 – 2005), um dos mais influentes dramaturgos americanos. A peça em questão denuncia e desmistifica a ideia do Sonho Americano através da história de Willy Loman, um caixeiro viajante que possui uma obsessiva fixação pelos ideais de progresso, tanto financeiro como familiar, o que o leva a uma busca idealizada por uma vida perfeita ao lado de sua família. No entanto, as exigências da sociedade capitalista e sua busca por reconhecimento e sucesso acabam lhe proporcionando um fim trágico. Na época em que o texto de Miller foi escrito, a sociedade americana estava em um momento pós-guerra, e o autor, através de sua obra, traz para o centro dos debates as relações do indivíduo em conflito com o meio social. Além disso, embora sua peça não seja considerada uma tragédia clássica e sim um drama moderno, em Death of a salesman, estão presentes elementos característicos da tragédia clássica. Sendo assim, é necessário observar-se como aquela tragédia, proveniente dos gregos, transformou-se no drama moderno; partindo deste ponto, serão analisados tais elementos dentro do texto de Miller.
A produção das vontades de verdade cristã nas inscrições tumulares
Authors: Pereira Alécia Lucélia Gomes , Oliveira Maria Angélica de
Published: July 2019

O surgimento de um texto, materialidade discursiva, não nasce do acaso, surge da necessidade social de dizer e de ser dito que envolve nosso cotidiano. Através dos textos, divulgamos nossa compreensão acerca do mundo, representamos e retratamos nossa realidade. Através da linguagem, materializada em textos verbais ou não verbais, criamos o real da língua, o real da história. Como exemplos dessas materialidades discursivas, para este trabalho, escolhemos os epitáfios, inscrições tumulares que inscrevem, no mundo dos vivos, as lembranças do sujeito morto. Nosso estudo tem um olhar direcionado à produção dos epitáfios, à organização dos discursos que deles fazem sítio. Para tanto, temos, a luz dos pressupostos teóricos da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, como objetivo geral identificar e analisar as vontades de verdade cristã na constituição do sujeito morto presentes nas inscrições tumulares. Os textos epitáficos apresentados como corpus desse artigo, resultam de um material fotográfico do cemitério Monte Santo, localizado em Campina Grande - PB. Concluímos que os dizeres dos epitáfios surgem como tentativa de sobrepor à morte de forma contínua, negando a existência de uma ausência definitiva. O sujeito morto ocupa o lugar social de um sujeito moral, retratado sempre como bondoso e “imortal”.
