Le paradoxe de la citadinité dans la région de Mazouna
Authors: CHACHOU Ibtissem
Published: July 2024

Cette contribution se veut une réflexion sur la question de la citadinité dans la région de Mazouna.  En effet, ancienne cité se caractérisant par différents types de citadinités : berbère, arabe, andalouse et turque, la ville de Mazouna est considérée dans les discours médiatique et scientifique ainsi que dans la littérature sociologique et historique comme étant un foyer civilisationnel. Mis à part les aspects socio-historiques qui témoignent de cette vieille citadinité, je m’étais interrogée sur les aspects linguistiques pour vérifier si, à l’instar des anciennes cités (dites citadines), le parler de Mazouna se particularise par des traits citadins ou dits pré-hilaliens.
Abstract
This contribution is intended to be a reflection on the question of citadinity in the Mazouna region. Indeed, an ancient city characterized by different types of citadinity: Berber, Arab, Andalusian and Turkish, the city of Mazouna is considered in media and scientific discourse as well as in sociological and historical literature as being a civilizational center. Aside from the socio-historical aspects which bear witness to this old citadinity, I wondered about the linguistic aspects to verify if, like the old cities (called citadines), the speech of Mazouna is particularized by traits pre-hilalians.

Authors: MAHI Amina
Published: July 2024

Le paysage de l'enseignement de l'anglais en Algérie témoigne d'une évolution progressive vers une valorisation plus prononcée de cette langue au sein des filières scientifiques et techniques universitaires. Cette transition se matérialise par une prise de conscience croissante des besoins de l'économie mondiale, caractérisée par une demande croissante de professionnels compétents dans ces domaines maîtrisant l'anglais comme langue de communication internationale. Cette tendance reflète également la volonté du gouvernement qui reconnait de plus en plus l'importance de la maîtrise de l'anglais pour accéder à des opportunités professionnelles et économiques internationales. En réponse à ces besoins, le ministère revoit ses programmes et ses méthodes d’enseignement afin de garantit une meilleure intégration de l’anglais dans les disciplines scientifiques. Ainsi, cette transition vers une plus grande prédominance de l'anglais à l'université en Algérie s'inscrit dans une dynamique plus large de modernisation et d'adaptation aux exigences d'un monde globalisé et axé sur la compétitivité économique.

Frutta e verdura: tra standard linguistici e usi sociali dell’italiano
Authors: DJADI Zakari
Published: July 2024

Questa ricerca si propone di analizzare gli usi sociali riguardanti i nomi di frutta e verdura all'interno dell'attuale società italiana, mostrando come un divario linguistico legato alla pratica linguistica sociale dell'italiano abbia dato loro nuovi significati e nuove funzioni all'interno della comunicazione. Perché infatti, comunicare significa non solo acquisire la conoscenza delle norme della lingua italiana, ma anche la conoscenza delle competenze contestuali in cui un enunciato può o non può essere utilizzato. I nomi di frutta e verdura hanno acquisito un forte carattere connotativo attraverso il quale vengono talvolta utilizzati come insulti. Tuttavia, lo studente algerino che studia l'italiano come lingua straniera conoscerà solo la componente denotata quella dello standard costruito al di fuori del contesto socio-culturale italiano.
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the social uses regarding the names of fruits and vegetables within current Italian society, showing how a language gap linked to the social linguistic practice of Italian has given them new meanings and new functions within communication. Because in fact, communicating means not only the acquisition of knowledge of the norms of the Italian language, but also the knowledge of the contextual skills in which an utterance can or cannot be used. The names of fruits and vegetables have acquired a strong connotative character through which they are sometimes used as insults. However, the Algerian student who studies Italian as a foreign language will only know the component denoted that of the standard constructed outside the Italian socio-cultural context.

Published: July 2024

تدرس التداولية اللغة في الاستعمال بوصفها  ظاهرة  تخاطبية تواصلية اجتماعية، وهي علم قائم بذاته تحتوي على مباحث وقضايا، تشتغل على الكشف عمّا أضمر من الخطاب، وليس الخطاب الشعري بمنأى عن ذلك.    لذلك فنحن نسعى في هذا المقال إلى مقاربة تداولية في قصيدة  "أبا المنقوش" للشاعر الجزائري  محمد العيد آل خليفة بمحاولة تتبع الأفعال المضمرة فيها في حدود ما يتسع له المقام، فأتينا من مقاربة هذه الأفعال على المضمر الذي انطوى عليه كل من النداء والاستفهام  والأمر، في القصيدة على الترتيب: ثم أتينا على مقاربة لون آخر من المضمر، وهو "المقتضى" ووطأنا لعملنا الإجرائي بمفهوم الاقتضاء وعلاقته بفعل القول المنطوي على القصد. وأوضحنا أن المقتضى مقصود بالتتبع، وأنهينا المقال بخلاصة أوجزنا فيها النتائج التي توصلنا إليها.
Abstract
 Pragmatics studies language in use as a communicative social phenomenon which is a science in its own right that contains investigations and issues, working to reveal what is more harmful than the discourse, not poetic discourse spared from that.    Therefore, in this article In this article, we aim to approach a pragmatic analysis of the poem "Abu Al-Munqush" by the Algerian poet Mohammed Al-Eid Al-Khalifa, attempting to trace the implied actions within it as much as the context allows. We have approached these actions through the implied meaning encompassed by each of the call, the question, and the command in the poem,respectively.Then, we approached another type of implication, "the requisite," and we grounded our procedural work on the concept of requisiteness and its relation to the speech act that involves intention. We clarified that the requisite is intended for tracking, and we concluded the article with a summary in which we briefly presented the results we reached.

The Setting in "O esplendor de Portugal"
Authors: Fernández Daniel Zubía
Published: July 2024

Abstract: In O esplendor de Portugal, the historical setting constitutes the source for a corrosive fiction: the Portuguese colonial past for those who stayed and those who returned. Thus, the life of three siblings is notably marked by history, by the collapsing colonial order, and by war. They exemplify, in the background of O esplendor, the division of the artificial family unity and how that past splendor was not regained, either in Angola or in Portugal. Facts and family are demythologized by how the three descendants are presented in O Esplendor de Portugal.
Viagens de Vitorino Nemésio pelo Brasil: uma "lição de história entre sombras propícias," "ma non troppo..."
Authors: Ribeiro Maria de Fátima Maia
Published: July 2024

Resumo: Considerando a intensificação de trânsitos culturais entre Portugal e Brasil em meados do século XX, interessa-nos perscrutar o discurso de Vitorino Nemésio acerca das relações luso-brasileiras, conjugado aos entornos geopolíticos e aos imaginários culturais da época. Examinam-se as ‘lições de história' que o Brasil lhe sugere e, até certo ponto, desenvolve nas crônicas de O segredo de Ouro Preto e outros caminhos e de Caatinga e terra caída, assim como as “sombras propícias” e adversas entrevistas, analisadas em cotejo com textos ensaísticos e epistolares.
Paradoxos da imensidade
Authors: Garcez Maria Helena Nery
Published: July 2024

Resumo: Este trabalho é um estudo exaustivo das quatro epígrafes do romance Mau Tempo no Canal. Algumas destas epígrafes nem possuem, de per si, uma aura poética. No entanto, o seu alcance intertextual e intratextual é muito grande. Encarados da perspectiva da sua projeção no romance, estes paratextos reafirmam a riqueza e a complexidade da urdidura romanesca da obra-prima de Vitorino Nemésio, a íntima ligação entre os seus elementos constituintes, inclusive aqueles que, à primeira vista, parecem não possuir um valor muito transcendental.
As revistas coimbrãs de 1889 na génese do Simbolismo
Authors: Morão Paulo
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This essay discusses a group of journals published in Coimbra between February and April 1889 as a means to understand literary discourse and debate of the time, with a view to future developments in the subsequent years. Through a brief description of the content and collaborators of these publications, and the rivalries between them, Paula Morão provides an insight into their literary context as a prelude to Portuguese Modernism, and argues that this pleiad of mostly forgotten poets and writers set the stage for Portugal’s Symbolist movement, not only through the polemical Alexandrine debate, but by the very nature of their texts, in both prose and verse.
Mediating Transnational Reception in Portuguese Modernism: Fernando Pessoa and the English Magazines
Authors: McNeill Patricia Silva
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: This essay argues that Fernando Pessoa played a key role as a cultural mediator between English and Portuguese modernist movements, presenting new findings about the importance of literary and cultural magazines for his reception of English Modernism. An examination of sources present in Pessoa’s archive, mentioned in his writings on modernist aesthetics and correspondence or relating to works in his private library, shows that Pessoa was familiar with important cultural magazines published in London in the first decade of the twentieth century. Additionally, such an examination traces Pessoa’s reception of writers, works, and movements featured in English magazines from the 1910s, and analyzes his engagement with the British avant-garde in his critical writings and literary production for Portuguese magazines.

"O esplendor de Portugal" ou uma fragilíssima consciência do ser
Authors: Gândara Paula
Published: July 2024

Resumo: Em O esplendor de Portugal a relação afetiva das personagens organiza-se através da perda da origem. O texto desenvolve-se a partir dos monólogos interiores das personagens e desse espaço em comunicação com o leitor, tecidos em noções de tempo nem de espaço. Seguimos o estudo basilar de Maria Alzira Seixo (2002) sobre esta obra e ficamos com o seguinte panorama: considerando que o esplendor de Portugal se estabelece a partir de uma correlação directa da degradação africana e a ditadura salazarista, a autora especifica o valor de Angola como o espaço do absurdo vivencial das personagens.

Cenas brasileiras no jornalismo literário do Portugal oitocentista
Authors: De Abreu Maria Fernanda
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This essay addresses the question of how Portuguese Romantics faced their ex-colonial subjects, as projected through the representation of identities and cultural diversity in their writing. By critically reading a series of intermittent articles, Maria Fernanda de Abreu demonstrates the importance of Brazil in the recently inaugurated O Panorama.

Lusofonia From Infancy to Necrology, or The Peregrinations of a Floating Signifier
Authors: Madureira Luís
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: Between 1926 and 1933, the Portuguese regime enacted legislation defining Africans as a separate element of the colonial population, as “natives” or indigenas. Those who learned to speak Portuguese, took commercial or industrial jobs, and conducted themselves as Portuguese citizens were labeled assimilados. The colonial administration stringently applied the conditions for assimilation. However, the logic of assimilation demanded the wholesale rejection of indigenous religions and cultural practices. This article analyzes the contradictions in this situation.

Sousa do Casação's "Fado da Severa" and Júlio Danta's "A Severa": The Genesis of National Folklore in the Death of a "Mouraria Fadista"
Authors: Colvin Michael
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This article examines the genesis of the folkloric figure of the nineteenth-century Mouraria fadista as a national icon in twentieth-century Portuguese popular culture. In his drama, A Severa: Peça em quatro actos, Júlio Dantas establishes a metaphoric correlation between Maria Severa, the Mouraria, the fado and Portugal, when his heroine dies in the arms of the fado, thus realizing the fate of all Portuguese (according to Dantas’s protagonist, the Count of Marialva). Dantas’s mise-en-scène of Severa’s death is followed by the refrain from Sousa do Casacão’s “Fado da Severa,” the last lines of the play. Fado novo lyricists from the 1930s to the 1970s recontextualize Sousa do Casacão’s  lyrics and Dantas’s proposal of a folkloric Mouraria—the cradle of the national song—to elevate the urban song in the Portuguese collective conscience.
Pessoa and Keats
Authors: De Castro Mariana Gray
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: This article examines the dialogue between Fernando Pessoa and the English romantic poet John Keats (1795–1821). It begins by exploring Pessoa’s poetic engagement with Keats’s verse, before moving on to an analysis of his assimilation of Keats’s most influential aesthetic ideas, above all those of the chameleon poet and negative capability, which I argue were a significant, yet hitherto largely unexplored, influence on Pessoa’s heteronymic invention.

Authors: Coates Timothy J.
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Forced colonization of Angola using European convicts from 1880 to 1930 was a bold experiment by the Lisbon authorities, motivated by an increasing population of criminals and the international scramble for colonies in Africa.

"Sertão Dentro": The Backlands in Early Modern Portuguese Writings
Authors: Saramago Victoria
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: This article investigates uses of the term sertão in the writings of Portuguese travelers to America, Africa, and Asia in the sixteenth century. By comparing lexicon and discursive devices where the term is employed, this study aims to explore the distinct levels of certainty and speculation expressed by their authors while writing about what cannot yet be seen in their predominantly coastal journeys. I discuss variations and patterns in the description of a remote and somewhat unreachable sertão and consider how their use in chronicles about Brazil might have started to give form to the way the sertão would be later understood by Brazilian authors.
KEYWORDS: Backlands, Portuguese chronicles, sixteenth century
Post-imperial Performativities: Sexual Misencounters and Engenderings of Desire in António Lobo Antunes's "Fado alexandrino"
Authors: Bishop-Sanchez Kathryn
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This study of Fado alexandrino examines the representation of gender roles and sexual encounters that call into question the typical male/masculinity and female/femininity associations and challenge the heterosexual hegemonic norm. Our approach falls in line with Judith Butler’s conceptualization of gender identity and the work of Luce Irigaray on female sexuality as a means to explore the parodic empowering of masculinized women, the greater visibility of “alternative” sexualities, the denigration of the female sex, and the kaleidoscope of overlapping, unfulfilled political and sexual desires that fuel the narrative. In relation to the cultural opening of the mid-1970s, we analyze this renegotiation of gender and sexuality as a site for the display of a newly found freedom of expression that nonetheless privileges a masculinist narrative voice.
A partir de Diu: Diáspora hindu e género em Portugal
Authors: Lourenço Inês Margarida
Published: July 2024

Resumo: A presença portuguesa na Índia influenciou paisagens, crenças e perspectivas de vida ao longo de cerca de cinco séculos. A tendência globalizante das sociedades contemporâneas conduziu à inversão das antigas rotas dos impérios coloniais europeus e em Portugal, encontra-se actualmente uma das maiores comunidades hindus da Europa. Este grupo, originário do Gujarate (Índia), possui uma experiência passada de emigração para Moçambique, uma das antigas colónias portuguesas de África. No entanto, a actual diáspora hindu em Portugal possui características que a distinguem dos anteriores trajectos migratórios. A partir da análise da comunidade hindu residente em Santo António dos Cavaleiros (Área Metropolitana de Lisboa) é possível observar a centralidade do papel desempenhado pelas mulheres no processo de reprodução cultural do grupo. Para além disso, a lealdade para com o espaço de origem suporta a estrutura simbólica da comunidade.

The nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NCPEs) are receiving special attention, especially within the realm of Solid-State Ionics by virtue of potential applications in innovative ionic devices (electrochemical devices) like Smart windows, sensors, high-powered batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. etc. Using nanocomposite constituents, a versatile and robust approach has been developed to achieve novel nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NCPEs) with tailored structural, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical characteristics. This study describes the techniques used for the synthesis of inorganic fillers such as ceramic, ferrites nanoparticle, and nanocomposite polymer electrolyte films and their characterizations with emphasis on the sol-gel technique as it pertains to in this work. Different characterizing techniques related to current investigations like XRD, Optical Microscopy, SEM, IR(FTIR), DSC, CV and electrical characterization techniques like Wagner’s polarization, impedance spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy and modulus spectroscopy have been briefly discussed to allow an amateur to understand the importance of these techniques in materials research in general.
