Southern occupational therapies: Emerging identities, epistemologies and practices
Authors: Guajardo Alejandro , Kronenberg Frank , Ramugondo Elelwani L
Published: June 2015

For over a decade, debates in occupational therapy have extended into the profession's theoretical foundations as well as epistemological underpinnings thereof A series of proposals have emerged from around the world that aim to link the definition of occupational therapy, its knowledge and practices to contemporary social, political, cultural and economic conditions. Contributing to this is the increasing precariousness of the global social life, the economic crises of many social systems, and the deterioration of the ecological environment. The current paper critically reflects on the historical conditions that shape the institution of occupational therapy, particularly in the regions of South America and Africa. This involves a political, ethical, and epistemological rethinking of the foundations that underpin identities, knowledge and practices of occupational therapy and their effects on society. These foundations may favour processes of exclusion and ahistorical and individualist views of human occupation, as opposed to social perspectives expressed in collective occupations and human rights promoting practices. The authors propose to problematise the construction of a professional identity, knowledge and practices of occupational therapy, emphasising the need for a liberating discipline, committed to and acting alongside people and communities who are in situations of social exclusion. This implies the necessary positioning of occupational therapy within social transformation. Key words: Southern, critical, epistemologies, human occupation, human rights
Situating occupation in social relations of power: Occupational possibilities, ageism and the retirement 'choice'
Authors: Laliberte Rudman Debbie
Published: June 2015

INTRODUCTION: Research attending to social relations of power can enhance understanding of the mechanisms through which occupational injustices occur and inform socially transformative practice. This study explored how power operates through ageism in ways that shape what people come to take for granted regarding occupation in relation to age, and what occupations are supported through sociopolitical conditions. METHODS: Narratives were collected using a two-stage interview process with 17 retired Canadians. A critical narrative analysis approach was employed to examine how these narratives revealed the complex ways occupations are negotiated within broader discourses and age relations. FINDINGS: Ageism mattered for how and when individuals came to retire and for occupational possibilities in the realm of work. Informants conveyed experiences of being marginalised, displaced and disempowered in the work force and, at times, internalised ageist discourses to make sense of when and how they came to retire. CONCLUSION: Within the study context, social relations of power related to age influenced occupational possibilities for work and bounded retirement 'choices'. A focus on power in relation to occupation as it intersects with a variety of social markers can provide a nexus to inter-connect socially transformative work in occupational therapy and occupational science, advancing the shared intent of promoting human flourishing through occupation.

Published: June 2015

BACKGROUND: Domestic work is a common form of work in South Africa that is known to place the workers' health at risk. Subsequently, research has focused on this form of work from the workers' perspectives, emphasising the changes needed in employment conditions in South Africa. PURPOSE: This paper draws on a research study that explored the lived experiences of employing a live-in domestic worker. The data from this research is used to consider the role that employers' experiences might play in creating particular work conditions for domestic workers. METHODS: The research applied a qualitative, phenomenological design and six participants were purposively selected. Each participant participated in two interviews. A thematic data analysis was initiated between and following the interviews. Subsequently a second level analysis was conducted which stayed close to the first level of analysis but ensured that the essence of the findings were presented with more clarity. FINDINGS: A single theme "You need them, but they are working on your nerves" and two categories, "caught in a conundrum" and "compelled to be benevolent" emerged. A significant aspect emphasised in the theme and categories was the way that the relationship between the employers and domestic workers left the employers feeling weighed down, which led to tensions that shaped their actions in this work context. DISCUSSION: Understanding the experiences of employers calls attention to the relationship between the occupational engagement afforded to the employers in relation to their domestic workers. The lived experiences of employers, who are from a privileged part of society, and the possible bearing this has on domestic workers who continue to serve from a marginalised position is highlighted and discussed.

Simulation of Spontaneous Activity in Neuronal Cultures with Long-Term Plasticity
Authors: Дегтерев А.А. , Degterev A.A.
Published: June 2015

Existence of spontaneous population bursts is a widely studied phenomenon observed in neuronal cultures in vitro. Recent models of neuronal cultures network activity consist of
a number of burst generating mechanisms such as synaptic noise and presence of pacemaker neurons in the network. In the previous simulations of bursting in neuronal cultures
synaptic weights change in accordance with the rule of short-term plasticity whereas the long-term values of them, and hence the network structure, remain unchanged. In this paper
we reproduce neuronal network models with static synapses, and then investigate spontaneous activity changes in neuronal networks with long-term plasticity defined by STDP rule.
Our results demonstrate that introduction of long-term plasticity in the model leads to discrepancy with the experimental data.

A partir do advento da terapia antirretroviral, a qualidade de vida dos pacientes HIV positivos foi melhorada significativamente, havendo uma redução nos casos de morte por doenças oportunistas. A hepatite C representa uma comorbidade para os pacientes soropositivos. Entre os indivíduos co-infectados HIV/HCV, destacam-se os usuários de drogas por apresentarem comportamentos de risco. Assim, há a necessidade de se conhecer melhor a hepatite C, o HIV e a co-infecção e sua relação com a toxicomania. Com essa finalidade, foi realizada a presente revisão sistemática que estudou as doenças envolvidas e o perfil dos indivíduos acometidos para a co-infecção HIV/HCV. Drug Abuse: Relationship Between Hepatitis C and CO-Infection By HIV ABSTRACT. Since the discovery of anti-retroviral therapy, the life quality of HIV-infected people improved significantly, especially with regard to a decrease in mortality rates by opportunistic diseases. Hepatitis C is a co-morbidity for serum-positive patients. Illicit drug users are salient among people co-infected with HIV/HCV since they feature risk behaviors. Hepatitis C, HIV and co-infection should be better known, coupled to their relationship with drug abuse. A systemic review was undertaken which studied the diseases involved and the profile of the patients co-infected with HIC/HCV.

Introduction: It's known that bariatric surgery provides an improvement in the functional capacity and cardiorespiratory performance. However, most of these studies are limited to the distance walked during the 6MWT as a function of the functional capacity. Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the functional capacity and cardiorespiratory responses of women with morbid obesity, applying the six-minute walk test before and 6 months after bariatric surgery. Method: Prospective and observational study in which 14 women with morbid obesity submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric derivation were studied. The volunteers performed made the six-minute walking test (6MWT) before and six months after surgery gastric bypass. The distance walked and the blood pressure were registered as well as the subjective sensation of dyspnea and exhaustion of the lower limbs. In addition, the heart rate, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate were registered at the beginning, during and the end of the 6MWT. Results: An increase in the distance walked was observed 6 months post-surgery (588.92 ± 34.81m) as compared to the preoperative distance (516.28 ± 50.91m). Regarding to the cardiorespiratory variables, which included the heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SatO2), respiratory rate (RR) and sensation of dyspnea, there was a decrease in the systolic and diastolic blood pressures during the recovery period of the 6MWT. There was no statistical difference in the other variables analyzed. Conclusion: the bariatric surgery and the following weight loss provided improvements in the functional capacity and blood pressure values during recovery from the exercise.

Background: The excessive motion of subtalar pronation of the foot, can cause stress and burden in tissues of the region, giving origin to aches and microtrauma. In clinical practice, excessive movement has been limited to the use of techniques of bandages applied to the plantar arch. Objective: Was to analyze the influence of rigid bandage in plantar pressure distribution corridors pronators. Method: This is a randomized clinical trial, blinded, with twenty runners pronators (33±7 y, 71±7 kg, 174±6 cm). Technique was applied bandage (rigid - BR) to support the plantar arch, described as antipronation. Plantar pressure data were collected using the F -scan system in three tests run at 9 km/h being: no bandages, rigid taping. We considered seven areas of pressure for data analysis, performed by means of ANOVA for repeated measures followed by paired t test. Results: BR resulted in significant reductions (p<0.05) in contact pressures and peak pressure rearfoot. Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that BR provided decrease in contact pressures and peak pressure foot, being significant on the hindfoot than in the midfoot.

Authors: Sanita Priscila Contatori Vital de Macedo , Moraes Taise De Souza Moreira , Dos Santos Fernanda Mara
Published: June 2015

Introduction: Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, fatigue, sleep and mood disturbances, anxiety and functional changes. With no definitive pathogenesis, it is predominant in women. Its diagnosis is based on clinical examination of 18 standardized points. Of these, 11 must be painful to characterize fibromyalgia. Acupuncture, which aims to balance the body, has been used frequently in studies of pain and treatments. The main risk factors for fibromyalgia related to Chinese Medicine are: invasion of cold wind, emotional stress, irregular diet and excessive physical labor. Objective: Conduct a literature review to determine the effect of acupuncture as a technique to be used for pain relief and improved quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia. Method: A literature search was performed through the Bireme, Lilacs, Pubmed, Medline and Scielo databases, 2008 - 2012. Results: The review found that acupuncture is an effective form of treatment for individuals with fibromyalgia, but greater methodological rigor needs to be established. Conclusion: Acupuncture can be effective in reducing pain, and in improving sleep and quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia. However, there is still need for further research to enhance and extend the effective therapeutic use of acupuncture in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Introduction: The concept of body posture involves balance, neuromuscular coordination and adaptation. Automatic postural responses are adjusted to meet the needs of interaction between systems of postural organization and the environment. Postural control is to maintain body position seeking stability and orientation in space, and the maintenance of posture and balance is directly related to three main systems: visual, vestibular and proprioceptive, whose junction ensures body balance. Other factors may be related to this control, such as the use of prostheses, among them the dentures that provide the balance of the mouth and jaws, through neuromuscular balance, helping to balance the body as a whole. Stabilometry assesses postural balance through the quantification of postural sway in the orthostatic position on a force platform. Objective: To evaluate the influence of the use of dental prostheses in maintaining balance and posture through baropodometry. Method: The study included 10 women with an average age of 65 years old, all using dental prosthesis, which remained on the platform for 30 seconds, with the prosthesis, repeating the procedure without the use of the prosthesis. Results: As the postural balance is given by the sum of the balance of all body structures, where all must be wholesome, and may include dental arch, in this case replaced by dental prosthesis, there was a direct contribution of using it over body balance as a whole, since there was a decrease in the number of oscillations of the body centroid and radial displacement, among individuals who use dental prosthesis. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that there is a direct influence of the use of dental prostheses on posture and body balance.

Published: June 2015

Introduction: The Scheuermann’s kyphosis may cause difficulties in social acceptance and in the practice of physical activity in adolescents, mainly caused by deformity of the thoracic spine. This change is diagnosed by radiological imaging when at least three adjacent vertebrae submit a previous larger than 5° wedging. Patients who have a Cobb angle greater than 75° are indicated for surgery. However, to date there is no agreement on how best to approach the patient in the conservative treatment. Objective: To present the conservative treatment of the back pain on an adolescent with Scheuermann's disease. Method: Case report of a young patient complaining of back pain and with the Cobb angle greater than 75°, treated with exercises and postural reeducation for 12 weeks. The changes on flexibility of the spine was measured by the popliteal angle and with a fio de prumo. Moreover, it was evaluated the isometric strength of the trunk, the functional capacity by the Oswestry questionnare and the pain with a Visual Analogue Scale. Results: The patient improved with his pain and functional abilities, maintaining the practice of exercises by himself at home. Conclusion: After learning the exercises and practice it at home, with the orientation of a manual and the physical therapist, the patient do not presented any more complaining of pain.

Published: June 2015

Introduction : The aging is characterized by a reduction in the effectiveness of skills, among them the loss of the flexibility. The hamstring muscles may be affected by the decreased flexibility occurs when elderly can present limitation of gait, low back problems and osteomuscular. Among the techniques used to evaluate the flexibility of the hamstring muscles are the Sit and Reach Test and Computerized Photogrammetry evaluation of the popliteal angle . However, the scientific literature doesn’t provide consistent data on the correlation of these forms of evaluation. Objective: To analyze the correlation between the sit and reach test and Computerized Photogrammetry evaluation of the popliteal angle used to assess the flexibility of the hamstring muscles in elderly women. Method: This was a cross-sectional, observational study, consisting of 39 elderly, healthy. The evaluation was composed by forms with personal details and physical examination (body weight, height and body mass index), and the evaluation of tests to measure the flexibility of the hamstring muscles (Sit and reach test and Computerized Photogrammetry evaluation of the popliteal angle). The correlation of the data was done by using the Spearmam’s rank correlation coefficient, with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: The data showed a positive correlation between Sit and Reach Test Computerized Photogrammetry and the popliteal angle of the right leg (r=0.4690, p=0.0026) and the left leg (r=0.3604, p=0.0241). Conclusion: The data from this study allow conclude that the tests for assessing hamstring flexibility in elderly women, the Sit and Reach Test and Computerized Photogrammetry evaluation of the popliteal angle are complementary because it doesn’t correlate strongly.

Published: June 2015

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) can have a large impact on quality of life (QOL), which can harm social, economic, psychological and sexual aspects. Instruments are used to assess such damages. As it comes to subjective information, questionnaires are suitable tools to measure these variables. Objective: To identify the instruments used to assess the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life and evaluate them regarding the psychometric properties. Method: A search for articles that used specific questionnaires to assess the impact of urinary incontinence on QOL was conducted using the following descriptors: urinary incontinence, questionnaire, quality of life, in English, Portuguese and Spanish in the following databases: PubMed, SciELO and Scopus, then the validation of questionnaires in Portuguese (Brazil) to classify them as to the process of cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties. Results: Seven questionnaires were found: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB), Overactive Bladder Questionnaires (OAB-q), OAB-q generated the short form (OAB-q SF), Urinary Incontinence - Specific Quality of Life Instrument (I-QOL), King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and Qualiveen. Only KHQ, ICIQ-SF and ICIQ-OAB followed all the steps of cultural adaptation. ICIQ-OAB and I-QOL showed higher number of assessed and certified psychometric properties. None of the studies showed results on responsiveness, “floor or ceiling” effects and interpretability. Conclusion: The data collected in this review showed that the instrumentation of UI is being made incomplete and is not respecting the prerequisite of the completion of steps in the process of creation and testing, possibly compromising an effective assessment of quality of life.

A criação do personagem no “Filme de Artista”: divagações sobre a obra de Tim Burton
Authors: Santos Maria Angélica Amâncio
Published: June 2015

O trabalho pretende refletir sobre a obra cinematográfica do diretor norte-americano Tim Burton, em sua relação com a literatura, e destacando sua acuidade na construção de personagens. Para isso, efetua-se um paralelo entre o gênero “livro de artista” e os estudos realizados em Literatura Comparada acerca de artistas que atuam em mais de uma mídia – como William Blake e Wasilly Kandinsky –, destacando-se tal justaposição, na contemporaneidade, em obras cinematográficas de diretores como Peter Greenaway, Ingmar Bergman e, em especial, de Tim Burton, na busca de definir a express~o “filme de artista”. Procura-se, ainda, refletir brevemente sobre as mudanças operadas pelo cinema na percepção da arte, bem como sobre as particularidades do cinema de animação. Em um momento posterior, busca-se pensar a transposição intersemiótica, especialmente na transposiç~o do poema “The Nitghtmare Before Christmas” para o filme homônimo. Mencionam-se outras obras do diretor, mas focalizam-se, além deste filme, a animaç~o “Noiva Cad|ver” e o livro de poemas O triste fim do menino ostra – e outras histórias, que são, à medida do possível, descritos, com o fim de destacar aspectos relevantes para o encaminhamento desta análise intersemiótica.
O mundo que perdeu suas paredes: Lalinha e o belo poço parado em “Buriti” de João Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Diogo Sarah Maria Forte
Published: June 2015

Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar o modo como são configuradas as transformaçõesem “Buriti”, novela de Noites do Sertão, de Corpo de baile (1956), de João GuimarãesRosa, especificamente a partir da chegada de Lalinha (Lala/Leandra), que desencadeiamudanças na ambiência até então fechada da estância Buriti Bom, espaço arquitetadoficcionalmente para ser um paraíso. Essa personagem citadina estabelece relações com IôLiodoro, seu ex-sogro, e Maria da Glória, sua ex-cunhada, introduzindo na fazendaenergias eróticas e sedutoras capazes de instituir fissuras no sistema patriarcal plasmadopela narrativa. No espaço ficcional em que as ações ocorrem, nota-se que as experiênciassexuais e o erotismo são vivenciados apenas para além dos muros da propriedade, comose fossem proibidos no interior da fazenda. Com a chegada de um elemento femininoexterno, os desejos se aguçam e a vivência da sexualidade desperta uma série demudanças na rotina da fazenda: a noite passa a ser um dos momentos mais agitados,quando os personagens entregam-se à possibilidade de conhecerem a linguagem de seuscorpos e suas vontades. O narrador coloca, em oposição a Lalinha, a personagem MariaBehú que, com suas rezas e sua alusão ao passado, tenta defender o mundo do BuritiBom de mudanças severas, como a vivência dos prazeres carnais. Esta narrativa pode serlida como a abertura de um complexo ambiente e de seus habitantes ao erotismo e àsensualidade como maneiras de reconhecer a si e ao outro.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo a análise dos discursos utilizados pelo candidato doPartido da República (PR), Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, o Tiririca, durante a disputaeleitoral acontecida no Brasil em 2010 ao cargo de Deputado Federal pelo Estado de São Paulo.Para a análise, utilizaremos o corpus propriamente dito e como referência o que, de acordocom a teoria, caracterizaria um discurso político. Com isso, visamos explicitar os aspectostransgressivos e a presença de um ethos forjado nesses discursos. Como forma de delimitar oobjeto de estudo, foram utilizados como corpus (a) a cartilha da campanha distribuída pelocandidato; (b) entrevista publicada no site da Folha Uol – “Não é piada é realidade” porFernando Gallo; e (c) vídeo postado no site Youtube contendo vinhetas e declarações docandidato. Nesse trabalho, pretendemos ressaltar os aspectos transgressivos que podem serobservados ao longo da campanha, a qual foi baseada quase que prioritariamente no humor. Aestratégia utilizada pelo candidato, ao contrário do que se poderia imaginar, fez com eleatingisse a marca de mais de 1,3 milhões de votos, tornando-se o Deputado Federal com amaior quantidade de votos daquele pleito eleitoral.
Interesse e linguagem poética no Zibaldone de Leopardi
Authors: Melo Amanda Bruno De
Published: June 2015

O Zibaldone di pensieri é uma espécie de caderno de anotações e reflexões filosóficas, literárias e artísticas, que Leopardi escreveu entre 1817 e 1832, sem a intenção de publicar. Constituído por 4526 autógrafos (páginas escritas à mão), sua leitura nos permite adentrar no universo poético e filosófico de Leopardi, um autor que se coloca de forma muito peculiar entre o neoclassicismo e o romantismo europeus. A escritura do Zibaldone está intrinsecamente ligada às suas demais obras, inclusive as literárias, e várias são as reflexões a respeito das artes e da literatura presentes nele. Objeto deste artigo são algumas das reflexões do autor a respeito da poesia, principalmente no que tange o efeito que ela provoca nos leitores: embora considere a beleza e a graça conceitos subjetivos, ele desenvolve dois conceitos relativamente objetivos sobre a poesia – o interesse e a linguagem poética. O conceito de interesse é aplicado principalmente à poesia épica, e não deve ser confundido com a curiosidade, nem com o prazer provocados pela leitura da epopeia. A linguagem poética, por sua vez, é capaz de provocar prazer no leitor, e ela deve ser, para Leopardi, indefinida e separada da língua do povo, além de conter traços de estágios anteriores da língua.
Epístolas de uma despedida: o desfecho trágico de Werther

Published: June 2015

Este trabalho analisa a composição narrativa do romance Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther, de Goethe, com o objetivo de demonstrar a realização do efeito trágico na obra. Como embasamento teórico, é utilizado o Ensaio sobre o trágico, de Peter Szondi, especificamente o trecho correspondente à concepção do trágico formulada pelo próprio Goethe. Neste estudo é demonstrada a estruturação da obra em duas camadas, e a função-chave do editor fictício do romance, que garante ao protagonista o papel de herói trágico.
O discurso jornalístico em mensários: estratégias de persuasão em Caros Amigos, Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil e Piauí
Authors: Soares Maria Juliana Horta
Published: June 2015

Neste artigo, parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado ainda em curso, fazemos uma análise contrastiva dos discursos jornalísticos dos mensários Caros Amigos (CA), Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil (LMDB) e piauí nas edições de junho de 2009. Como Fiorin, acreditamos que “a finalidade última de todo ato de comunicaç~o n~o é informar, mas persuadir o outro a aceitar o que est| sendo comunicado” (FIORIN, 2005, p.75). Por isso, buscamos identificar estratégias de persuasão no corpus, entre elas o uso de imagens e as seleções lexical e de personagens. Começando pelas imagens, em sua primeira página CA, LMDB e piauí trazem uma grande ilustração ou fotografia. Nas duas primeiras, há referência às matérias principais, o que não acontece em piauí. Em relação ao léxico e aos personagens, LMDB traz texto mais técnico, que deixa subentendida para o leitor a proficiência do articulista. Na matéria não há depoimentos de personagens, mas referências a obras teóricas, o que reforça o tom formal adotado. CA, por outro lado, entrevista pessoas comuns em matéria que denuncia o trabalho escravo. As vítimas, que contam suas histórias, não só ilustram a reportagem, como comovem o leitor. É o que também acontece na matéria de piauí, que trata da crise econômica em Dubai e traz vários testemunhos denunciando o trabalho escravo na cidade. Essas são apenas algumas diferenças que encontramos na análise. Elas demonstram que cada mensário escolhe como seduzir e convencer seu público, corroborando a ideia (ainda refutada pela mídia) de que, como todo discurso, o jornalístico também é só mais uma versão da realidade.
Locating gender in a native american community: the places occupied by women in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony
Authors: Santos Sandra
Published: June 2015

This article's aim is to analyze the space, place and gender relations in Native American culture in the novel Ceremony, by Leslie Marmon Silko, and the concepts discussed by Doreen Massey, Jody Berland, Alison Blunt and Gillian Rose. The novel, whose focus is on the healing process of a Native American young man, a World War II veteran, shows how the space, place and gender relations in the Native American culture differ from the ones we see in the patriarchal family structure common to the western culture. In this way, I intend to discuss this difference between the spaces and places occupied by women and man in both cultures.
Teaching English to children as a second language through a genre-based approach
Authors: Oliveira Cândido Samuel Fonseca de , Wright Vanessa
Published: June 2015

This paper aims at proposing activities for children EFL classes through a genre-based approach. The activities expose young students to genres that not only ignite creativity and interest in the language, but also provide students with a more solid foundation for using the language in the “real world.” This study is developed based on the idea that, by introducing students to various genres early in their burgeoning relationship with their new language, teachers will make them more motivated and better able to communicate. Studies such as Alves and Calvo (2007) have shown the efficiency of genre-based approaches in EFL classes. The present study demonstrates how genres can be explored to teach English to children through a plethora of pedagogical activities.
Obama’s inaugural addresses from the perspective of corpus linguistics
Authors: Marciano Lucas
Published: June 2015

A presidential inaugural speech marks, formally, the beginning of a president’s term of office in many countries. In such a speech, the head of state establishes his/her intentions as a leader. Presidents-to-be may also include social, economic and political remarks. This paper aims at analyzing the vocabulary in Barack Obama’s two inaugural speeches in order to detect the major issues at these two historical moments for the American society. A corpus of 4051 words was compiled and consists of Obama’s complete inaugural speeches. AntConc software was used to quantify the words most frequently chosen as well as the number of times each word appeared. It was noticed different lexical choices in both speeches when comparing the two frequency lists generated from them. The paper concludes that the content of the two speeches were influenced by different historical moments.

Published: June 2015

Este artigo visa ao estudo dos ditongos em variação oi ~ ou nas formas variantes LOIRA ~ LOURA do português brasileiro falado neste século, na cidade de Belo Horizonte. A partir da coleta de dados e elaboração de tabelas, bem como de testes de qui-quadrado, observou-se que há uma tendência à monotongação de [ou] entre os informantes, o que culmina na realização da variante LORA, e que a realização entre mulheres e homens, considerando o número total de realizações em cada grupo, é significativamente diferente. Abstract This article aims to study the variation in diphthongs oi ~ ou in variant forms as LOIRA ~ LOURA of Brazilian Portuguese spoken in this century, in the city of Belo Horizonte. From the collection of data and drafting tables and chi-square test, it was observed that there is a tendency to monopththongization of [ou] between the informants, which results in the realization of the variant LORA, and that the realization between women and men, considering the total number of realization in each group, is significantly different.
A Linguística de corpus como ferramenta para identificar o estilo do tradutor: peculiaridade, autoria e formação de tradutores
Authors: Andrade Francine De Souza
Published: June 2015

A pesquisa relatada neste artigo está inserida na subárea dos Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus (ETBC), em particular os estudos de Estilo em tradução. Para isto, foi escolhido um corpus composto por um texto original ou fonte, e duas traduções. O objetivo da pesquisa é verificar se o resultado encontrado por Saldanha (2005) a partir do estudo do uso do itálico como traço de estilo dos tradutores ingleses seria o mesmo para tradutores brasileiros. Comprovada a teoria, este trabalho contribui para os estudos de estilo realizados com a metodologia dos ETBC, com resultados da descrição de itálicos em um corpus paralelo inglês/português brasileiro que permitem indicar que os tradutores fazem escolhas motivadas e têm estilo. Identificadas as peculiaridades de cada tradutor, a pesquisa revela-se com potencial para contribuir com a atribuição de autoria ao tradutor, pois, sendo uma marca tipográfica utilizada conforme as convenções linguísticas das línguas, o acréscimo e a omissão do itálico confirmariam a motivação/escolha do tradutor, revelando seu estilo. Isto reforça papel do tradutor como presença discursiva no texto, o que poderia trazer novas contribuições para a formação de tradutores.Palavras-chave: ETBC; estilo do tradutor; itálico.

This would confirm the role of the translator as a discursive presence in the text, which could bring new contributions for the training of translators.Keywords: CBTS; translator's style; italic.
Intertextualidade, colagem e o pop: o conto “Dôia na janela” de Roberto Drummond
Authors: Bowes Ernest
Published: June 2015

Ao entrar no universo que Roberto Drummond cria com o ciclo Coca-Cola, o leitor é conduzido para um ambiente pós-moderno de referências grotescas da indústria de consumo, do cinema e da arte pop. Por mais atraente que pareça, e supostamente fácil, a leitura é carregada de procedimentos literários e diálogos com contextos políticos e críticas sociais. A sua proposta era dar continuidade à tendência mundial em discutir, de forma irônica, os seus hábitos na arte. Embora se originasse de uma cultura de consumo, a literatura pop de Roberto Drummond estava ligada a concepções progressistas e mesmo subversivas das relações sociais, da linguagem e da escrita. O trabalho pretende analisar a intertextualidade, a colagem e o pop na obra de Roberto Drummond ao trazer uma leitura do conto “Dôia na Janela”, do livro A morte de DJ em Paris (2002), obra tida como divertida e crítica, que questionava os valores culturais da classe dominante.Abstract Entering the universe that Roberto Drummond creates with the Coca-Cola cycle, the reader is led to a postmodern environment of grotesque references in the consumer industry, film and pop art. As attractive as it sounds, and supposedly easy, the reading is full of literary devices and dialogues with political contexts and social criticism. His proposal was to continue to discuss the global trend, ironically, and their habits in the art. Although it originated in a consumer culture, the pop literature of Roberto Drummond was linked to progressive and even subversive concepts of social relationships, language and writing. The paper discusses intertextuality, collage and pop in the work of Roberto Drummond to bring a reading of the story “Dôia na Janela”, in the book A morte de DJ em Paris (2002), a work regarded as fun and critic, that questioned cultural values of the ruling class.
O poeta como arquivista: impressões da Enciclopédia visual de Wlademir Dias-Pino
Authors: Tanus Gustavo , Tanus Gabrielle Francinne De S. Carvalho
Published: June 2015

Este trabalho ancora-se na importância da obra Enciclopédia visual, de Wlademir Dias-Pino, e no caráter exclusivo dessa obra, por ser constituída por uma coleção formada por um grande arquivo de imagens. Ademais, trata-se da atividade de um autor que é um dos pioneiros da poesia visual no Brasil, mas que permanece pouco estudado e difundido. Para tanto, busca-se partir do produto de uma prática de arquivamento que, sendo subjetiva, re-define tanto o mister de poeta quanto uma ideia da instituição de um arquivo propriamente dito. Pretende-se apresentar impressões desta Enciclopédia visual como proposta de um arquivo em processo, em que se pode vislumbrar a compulsão arquivística, sustentada pelo desejo (auto)biográfico na construção de uma imagem de si, concomitante à constituição das figuras de um poeta-arquivista, colecionador/enciclopedista.AbstractThis paper is supported in the importance of the work Enciclopédia visual, by Wlademir Dias-Pino, and in the exclusive character of this work, to be constituted of a collection of a large images archive. Therefore, it is an activity of an author who is one of the pioneers of visual poetry in Brazil, but it is not so much studied and spreaded. By the way, we search to begin from the product of a practice of filing in which, being subjective, redefine as much as the art of poet and the idea of institution of an archive. We intend to present impressions of this Enciclopédia visual as a proposal of an archive in process, in which it is possible to achieve the archival compulsion, supported for an (auto)biographical desire of a construction of an image by himself, concomitant of a constitution of figures of an archivist poet, collector/encyclopedist.
The laughter within the Dialogues of the dead
Authors: Silva Rafael Guimarães Tavares da
Published: June 2015

The Dialogues of the Dead are among the most popular and controversial works of the corpus lucianeum. This article’s aim is to explicit and analyze the different aspects of laughter in these dialogues (besides their philosophical implications), in order to provide a new comprehension of problems and difficulties often associated with this work. We may also mention and deal with some of the main themes displayed throughout the dialogues: self-knowledge, mortality, greed and vanity, for example. Besides, we try to delineate a different way of understanding Lucian’s attitude towards philosophical laughter –mainly as Plato and the Cynics define it. Abstract Os Diálogos dos Mortos estão entre os mais populares e controversos trabalhos do corpus lucianeum. O objetivo deste artigo é explicitar e analisar os diferentes aspectos do riso nesses diálogos (além de suas implicações filosóficas), a fim de oferecer uma nova compreensão de problemas e dificuldades frequentemente associados à obra. Nós mencionaremos e trabalharemos também com alguns dos principais temas trazidos pelos diálogos: autoconhecimento, mortalidade, ganância e vaidade, por exemplo. Além disso, tentaremos delinear uma maneira diversa de entender a atitude de Luciano no que diz respeito ao riso filosófico –sobretudo a partir da maneira como o definem Platão e os cínicos.
