A poética do amor cortês e os trovadores medievais – caracterização, origens e teorias
Authors: Barros José D'Assunção
Published: August 2017

Entre os séculos XI e XIV – no contexto do desenvolvimento do trovadorismo medieval – o Ocidente Europeu conheceu uma nova forma de sensibilidade que logo ficaria conhecida pelo nome de Amor Cortês. A poesia trovadoresca, os romances corteses e as próprias vidas dos trovadores medievais foram os principais veículos deste novo sistema de práticas e representações. Diversas teorias têm buscado compreender a origem e o significado deste singular fenômeno medieval. O objeto deste artigo será discutir e examinar as relações entre a poesia dos trovadores medievais e o Amor Cortês, bem como as posições teóricas relacionadas com esta questão.
Raúl Gonzalez Tuñón desencuadernado. Políticas de la literatura, entre el libro y las publicaciones periódicas
Authors: Rogers Geraldine
Published: August 2017

El artículo revisa algunos supuestos sobre la producción literaria de Raúl González Tuñón en las décadas de 1920 y 1930 a partir de dos desplazamientos. En primer lugar, explora las políticas de la literatura que permitirían pensar, de manera menos esquemática que con la habitual categoría de “literatura política” con que se suelen abordar sus textos de la década del treinta, las apuestas y limitaciones de una escritura que desde su inicio se propuso como transformadora. En segundo lugar, el artículo pone el foco en la primera circulación de los textos, muchas veces en diarios y revistas, contextos formativos de una literatura que en gran medida surgió en sus páginas. Desencuadernar a Tuñón implica atender a la materialidad de sus escritos y explorar más allá de la tradicional figura del autor de libros, para indagar políticas de la escritura que articularon campos y prácticas, y experimentaron no sólo con nuevas formas estéticas sino también con diversos modos de circulación pública de las letras.
História da literatura e consciência historiográfica: um diálogo entre a escrita e a recepção
Authors: Ogliari Ítalo Nunes
Published: August 2017

A História da literatura, assim como todo e qualquer registro historiográfico, a partir de vertentes que puseram em xeque o discurso histórico, encontra-se, hoje, problematizada. Revelou-se nada menos do que a necessidade de fala daqueles foram deixados à margem do eixo hegemônico e que sofrem até nossos tempos uma insuficiência representacional, mantendo essas vozes literárias em um estado de subalternidade: um não lugar nas narrativas oficiais. Por isso, diferente da historiografia tradicional, incumbida de selecionar obras e autores considerados dignos e representantes das letras de uma nação, a história literária contemporânea busca um caráter plurivocal, nos obrigando a uma reconsideração daquilo que temos como cânone. No entanto, cabe-nos perguntar, se é possível hoje, mesmo consciente de todas as armadilhas deste discurso historiográfico, não se criar, na tentativa de se “preencher” as lacunas de uma história literária posta como verdade, outro discurso semelhante. Ou melhor: como abordar um sistema literário e não repetir a forma tradicional, que consiste na seleção arbitrária de determinados autores e exclusão de outros, criando, assim, novos cânones e deixando os demais, novamente, à margem? Será que todo o problema da historiografia literária está, necessariamente, nela, ou seria seu receptor também culpado por determinadas questões, que estariam ligadas a uma não percepção de uma visível consciência historiográfica, que sempre apontou, nos mais célebres registros, a impossibilidade de uma abordagem totalitária e perfeita?
Experimentações surrealistas e aproximações da noite: estudos do discurso metafórico em Murilo Mendes e Paul Éluard
Authors: Carnier Carolina Cunha
Published: August 2017

Vários são os exemplos dos modos pelos quais o noturno é capaz de enriquecer imageticamente a representação artística do mundo. Particularmente na poesia surrealista, a construção de um sistema lateral de referencias, diretamente conectado a uma organização mais larga ao nível discursivo, contribui para a construção de um outro modo de representação do universo relacionado ao signo “noite”. Este artigo tem por intuito a analise de alguns exemplos na poesia de Paul Éluard, um dos mais importantes poetas da literatura francesa, e Murilo Mendes, poeta brasileiro ligado ao movimento modernista. Uma atenção especial voltada à estrutura e às funções assumidas pelos signos ligados ao campo mimético da noite demonstra o modo pelo qual alguns dos mecanismos surrealistas e as experimentações no âmbito linguístico tornam-se capazes de produzir alternativas ao modelo de representação baseado em conveniências e na codificação logica da linguagem literária.
A voz da boneca noturna: notas sobre um objeto-paixão em O livro de Praga de Sergio Sant’Anna
Authors: Almeida Tereza Virginia de
Published: August 2017

O artigo aborda o romance de Sérgio Sant'Anna O livro de Praga, publicado em 2011, como resultado de um projeto em que a editora Companhia das Letras enviou escritores para cidades ao redor do mundo, a fim de escrever histórias de amor. Sergio Sant'Anna cria o personagem-narrador, Antônio Fernandes, que, ao longo de sua estadia em Praga, se envolve com várias figuras femininas entre elas uma boneca, uma miniatura de uma atriz de teatro-de-sombras. O artigo concentra-se no episódio da boneca, no mistério que envolve sua voz, nas relações com o gênero fantástico e nas leituras possíveis da sua presença na narrativa.
Idiomatic variation in Nigerian English : implications for standarization in the context of globalization
Authors: Adeyanju Dele
Published: August 2017

A global phenomenon that involves language use, which has not been given sufficient attention by researchers, is idiomatic variation. In this study, we provide a classification of idioms in Nigerian English based on factors of stability in both formal and colloquial usage, length of usage, and international intelligibility. We also examine the implications of idiomatic variation for standardization in the context of globalization. Against the backdrop of the debate on whether or not the native speakers’ English should be the sole medium of international communication, this study attempts to explain the reasons why different varieties of English should be accorded recognition and allowed to function as media of international communication provided they meet the condition of international intelligibility. In addition to a general discussion of idiomatic variation in Nigerian English, the study provides real examples of idioms in different contexts of communicative performance targeted at global/transnational audience with a view to addressing the subject of “contending with globalization in World Englishes”.
An empirical study into complete-beginner siblings learning aural and written English
Authors: Hewitt Elaine
Published: August 2017

This study was conducted into sibling association in children learning English as a foreign language at beginner level at primary school. The 35 participants were selected on the basis that they had no prior knowledge of English according to the pre-test and the base-line data. The fact that the participants were total beginners was useful not only in indicating clearly their progress on English tests, but also in pointing to any association with sibling help and/or knowledge of English. The children were all Spanish, and over one school year they completed a questionnaire on their backgrounds and on that of their families, and did four listening-comprehension tests of English and four tests of written English. By means of a Repeated Measures MANOVA (Multiple Analysis of Variance), data about siblings’ help were analysed together with academic achievement in English. Results indicate which variable was more closely associated with academic achievement: the siblings’ knowledge, the number of times the siblings helped, the listening comprehension scores or the written test scores.
The use and function of "please" in learners' oral requestive behaviour : a pragmatic analysis
Authors: Martínez Flor Alicia
Published: August 2017

The aim of this paper is to focus on “please” as one of the most frequent modifiers used to mitigate the impositive speech act of requesting. However, apart from this main function, scant attention has been paid to the analysis of learners’ use of this device when performing other functions, such as marking the utterance as a directive, begging for cooperative behaviour from the addressee or emphasising what a speaker says. Therefore, the present study investigates the use and function of “please” by Spanish EFL learners engaged in two oral spontaneous tasks eliciting request use. Results show that i) “please” is one of the most frequent modifiers employed by learners when requesting, ii) it is mainly used in its mitigating function, and iii) it is always placed at the end of the request move. Considering these results, pedagogical intervention is suggested by exposing learners to film scenes, a rich source of pragmatic input in foreign language contexts.
"The fall of the house of Usher" : a master text for (Poe's) American Gothic
Authors: Nadal Marita
Published: August 2017

This paper analyses a selection of Poe’s fiction taking as a point of departure the contentions of critics such as Hillis Miller and Eric Savoy on the characteristics of American Gothic. The paper starts with a discussion of these features, which “The Fall of the House of Usher” epitomizes. After a revision of “Usher”, the paper explores other Poe works, showing that the elements that make this narrative a master text for the history of American Gothic are somehow anticipated in Poe’s previous tales, like “Berenice” and “Ligeia”, in The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, and peculiarly reflected in the late tale of detection “The Purloined Letter”.
The so-called first Feminists : orthodoxy and innovation in England's Seventeenth-Century discussion of women's education
Authors: Stone Stanton Kamille
Published: August 2017

This essay examines the writings of women’s education advocate Bathsua Makin (1608-1675) in an effort to determine to what extent they were the product of traditional print debates about women and to what extent they were the innovative foundation for the ideas of Mary Astell (1668-1731), whose efforts on behalf of women have been deemed feminist by twentieth-century scholars. Through a close reading of Makin’s treatise, An Essay to Revive the Antient Education of Gentlewomen (1673), a contextualisation of her ideas with the querelle des femmes genre and an examination of both overlapping and distinguishing elements of her work and that of Astell, this essay argues for a reassessment of the importance of Makin’s contribution to the seventeenth-century debate of women’s education.
Fielding and Italian Opera
Authors: Trainor Charles
Published: August 2017

As his era’s most prolific writer of ballad operas, Henry Fielding knew music well and was particularly outspoken about Italian opera, the reigning London fashion of the day. While he recognized how moving its “soft alluring Strain” could be, as a nationalist he resented the imported form, which he feared would corrupt and emasculate the English. Moreover, if he objected to it on moral grounds, he did so on aesthetic ones as well. As a believer in the supremacy of the word, he regarded the genre’s elevation of music over text as a reversal of the proper hierarchy; and with the operas performed in a language that the audience did not understand, he saw them as failing in art’s basic mission to inform and instruct. Indeed, in the eyes of Fielding and many of his literary peers, Italian opera came to symbolize the ultimate triumph of sound over sense.
"Northanger Abbey", or, the passions of anti-structure : liminal Politics and Poetics in Jane Austen
Authors: Del Valle Roberto
Published: August 2017

This essay attempts a political reading of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey through its treatment of Gothic imaginaries. By working through an associative coupling of social naivety and literary sensibility, it is argued that the novel articulates a counter-model of interpersonal ethics whilst implicitly staging a criticism of hegemonic values and power relations. In this context, the notion of communitas – as developed by British anthropologist Victor Turner – offers a valuable tool for the critical examination of Austen’s text and historical conjuncture.
A constructional approach to condolences
Authors: Campo Martínez Nuria del
Published: August 2017

Drawing on preliminary insights in Pérez (2001), Pérez and Ruiz de Mendoza (2002), and Ruiz de Mendoza and Baicchi (2007), the present contribution presents a constructional approach to the study of illocutionary meaning. In so doing, I analyze the speech act category of condoling in order to establish the relationship between its semantic makeup and the linguistic realization procedures provided for its realization. From this perspective, illocutionary constructions are defined as pairings of the semantic conditions of the conceptual representation of a speech act category and those mechanisms which activate them linguistically. The results of the analysis allow for different degrees of implicitness in the production and understanding of illocutionary meaning, as well as for the existence of conventionalized expressions associated to the realization of speech acts.
Swearing methodologically : the (im)politeness of expletives in anonymous commentaries on Youtube
Authors: Dynel Marta
Published: August 2017

This theoretical paper addresses the (im)politeness of swear words. The primary objective is to account for their nature and functions in anonymous Internet communication, represented by YouTube commentaries (and exemplified by those following snatches of “Borat”), in the light of recent approaches to (im)politeness, notably: second order (im)politeness, necessarily recruiting first order interpretations; intentionbased approach; and relational work. The emerging postulate is that taboo words can display impoliteness (by manifesting aggression, power-building and abuse) or politeness (by fostering solidarity, common ground and humour). The nature and functions of cursing in anonymous commentaries are posited to be largely reminiscent of those appearing in oral interactions. Nevertheless, several characteristics of expletives appear to be peculiar to the discourse of an e-community of practice.
Dissection of Patricia Cornwell's feminist woman detective Kay Scarpetta
Authors: Farré Vidal Carme
Published: August 2017

This analysis of Kay Scarpetta acknowledges the importance of feminism in the identity of this woman detective. Kay Scarpetta contests patriarchy from the root: she is a forensic anthropologist with the necessary intellectual abilities and expertise for the pursuit of criminals. She has the power to solve the murder, the patriarchal privilege enjoyed by the traditional male detective, but her characterisation retains feminine characteristics, too: she can admit to be afraid in the face of danger and she cares for victims, those lying on her autopsy table – many of whom are women – but also the ones left behind. Kay Scarpetta’s identity leads her to expose the forms that women’s victimisation can take in a society based on prioritising men’s privileges. The obstacles that Kay Scarpetta has to overcome in order to expose patriarchy will not discourage her, though, since her ultimate goal is to help dignity and equality prevail.
Icarus and Daedalus in Toni Morrison's "Song of Solomon"
Authors: López Ramírez Manuela
Published: August 2017

In Song of Solomon Toni Morrison rewrites the legend of the Flying Africans and the Myth of Icarus to create her own Myth. Her depiction of the black hero’s search for identity has strong mythical overtones. Morrison rescues those elements of mythology black culture which are still relevant to blacks and fuses them with evident allusions to Greek mythology. She reinterprets old images and myths of flight, the main mythical motif in the story. Her Icarus engages on an archetypical journey to the South, to his family past, led by his Daedalic guide, on which he finally recovers his ancestral ability to fly. His flight signals a spiritual epiphany in the hero’s quest for self-definition in the black community.
'Real English' in Japan : team teachers' views on nativeness in language teaching
Authors: Sutherland Sean
Published: August 2017

In Japan, English is often taught by teams composed of a local Japanese teacher of English (JTE) and a native English speaking assistant English teacher (AET). This form of team teaching is typically assumed to be beneficial as it provides the students with exposure to models of native English which they would otherwise not encounter. Research has found that students and JTEs approve of team teaching as it provides students with motivation to study a language that would otherwise have little relevance to their daily lives. Less research has been done to explore how team teaching affects the JTEs with regards to their feelings about their own skills as English language users. In this paper, based on interview research with JTEs, I argue that team teaching reinforces the dichotomy between native and non-native speakers to the detriment of both Japanese teachers and their students.
Boyz out the hood? Geographical, linguistic and social mobility in John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood
Authors: Bartolomé Leal Andrés
Published: August 2017

In contrast with many of the films said to belong to the ‘hood films’ cycle of the nineties, John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood (1991) sober and realistically portrays the hardships of blacks’ existence in the Los Angeles’ neighbourhood of South Central. For the film, as this paper aims to demonstrate, the inability of the ‘hood residents to escape the geographical and social constrains of their environment is a direct outcome of the longdistance control that the mainly white dominant elites exert over their existence. Through the confronting lifestyles that the characters embody, the film exemplifies the different possible attitudes towards the place/race-biased identities that the life in the ‘hood motivates. In order to contest the social determinism that seems to dominate the life of the residents of the ‘hood, Tre’s character stands out as epitome of the film’s ideology in favour of education and respect, and not violence, as the way to survive this socialpolitical scheme.
Teaching refusal strategies in the foreign language classroom: a focus on inductive-deductive treatments
Authors: Martínez-Flor Alicia , Beltrán-Palanques Vicente
Published: August 2017

The present paper attempts to present a pedagogical model for the integration of pragmatic competence in the foreign language classroom by following an inductive-deductive approach. For the sake of the current article, the pragmatic feature that has been chosen is the speech act of refusals. The rationale behind this selection is based on the fact that refusals are seen as a face-threatening act which may confront listeners’ expectations (Eslami 2010: 217). Hence, learners should obtain a particular pragmatic expertise to outperform refusals successfully and that is the reason why the teaching of this speech act should be integrated in foreign language settings.
“So this was a marriage!”: intersections of natural imagery and the semiotics of space in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God
Authors: Casas Maroto Inés
Published: August 2017

Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God narrates a black woman’s flight for liberation from patriarchal control, in search of her own physical and inner space in a society of men who impose their views and exert their power over women. In her journey towards selfknowledge, Janie interacts with different spaces which represent the dominant culture’s models of selfhood, which can be effectively related to the use of natural imagery. As Janie becomes more of her ‘natural’ self and less a victim of patriarchy and the whims of others, the setting of the novel moves closer to the natural world. Through the use of natural imagery and symbolism, Hurston not only represents the African American valuing of the natural and spiritual world, but also portrays the development of an African American woman in search of her own voice.
Lexical-constructional integration in non-prototypical English middles: the role of high-level metonymy as a motivating factor
Authors: Guerrero Medina Pilar
Published: August 2017

The main aim of this paper is to consider the issue of lexicalconstructional integration in circumstantial English middles with instrumental and locative subjects, exemplified respectively by Narrow tyres manoeuvre more easily and The tennis court plays a bit slower (cf. Davidse and Heyvaert 2003, 2007). I will first explore the lexico-semantic mechanisms that may sanction the ascription of a verbal predicate to these extended uses of the middle construction where there is no causative element and the “affectedness” constraint needs to be ruled out. Drawing upon Ruiz de Mendoza and Mairal Usón (2007, 2011), I will also try to determine to what extent high-level metonymy may actually apply as an external motivating factor in the explanation of these non-prototypical uses of the middle, also showing how contextual and discourse-pragmatic factors cooperate with each other to enhance the metonymic interpretation of the “circumstantial” middle type.
A spanish university case study: user’s perception of blended methodology used for english foreign language learning
Authors: Martín de Lama M. Teresa
Published: August 2017

Blended learning at universities has emerged as a solution to address the need of fostering students’ independent and life-long learning as well as foreign language acquisition. The methodology combines on-campus and on-line tuition. Existing literature has largely discussed the advantages and disadvantages about blended learning, e-learning communication tools (synchronous and asynchronous), and language learning aided by computers. However, more research is still necessary to notice how students and teachers perceive this methodology in foreign language learning. In this line, the Master’s Degree in Bilingual Education at Nebrija University (Spain), which is wholly run through blended learning, has as a main aim to raise students’ level of English from a B2 to a C1. During its first year of implementation, a research was carried out to analyze the participants’ opinion on the benefits of the blended-learning tools used for English learning; detect possible deficiencies; and to provide recommendations for future foreign language teaching and learning.
“Those crazy knight-errants”: ideals and delusions in Arthur Conan Doyle’s portrait of a fourteenth century knight
Authors: Miralles Pérez Antonio José
Published: August 2017

In The White Company (1891) and Sir Nigel (1906), Arthur Conan Doyle reconstructed the fourteenth century and explored the culture and visions of chivalry. He created many different knights with the intention of dissecting the mind and conduct of this historical type. He was concerned with his human as well as his romantic aspect, and he addressed the conflicts the divergent obligations of external duty and personal aspirations caused. Doyle’s reflections focused on the dreadful and illusory game played by knights like Sir Nigel Loring, the most curious and significant representative of idealistic and delusional chivalry in his medieval fiction. His youth and adult age show the tensions between the two worlds whose paths he must tread. His life is a long struggle for virtue and honour, oscillating between the responsibilities of a nobleman in the days of Edward III and the Hundred Years War and the pursuit of chivalry.
Doing gender in conflict talk: an analysis of gendered discourses in a U.S. reality TV show
Authors: Sung Chit Cheung Matthew
Published: August 2017

This paper presents an analysis of gendered discourses in conflict talk by drawing upon interactional data from the U.S. reality TV show The Apprentice. It explores the ways in which women professionals enact their gender identities while engaging actively in conflict talk which is stereotypically coded as ‘masculine’. Specifically, I shall look at the different ways in which they construct their gendered identities by aligning themselves with different gendered discourses. It is found that these woman professionals are shown to draw upon different gendered discourses in constructing their feminine gender identities, namely the dominant discourses of femininity and resistant discourses. The paper also shows that the enactment of gendered identities in conflict talk may vary from one context to another.
The Robin Hood legend and its cultural adaptation for the film industry : comparing literary sources with filmic representations
Authors: Clouet Richard
Published: August 2017

The legend of Robin Hood has been going strong for over 600 years. In that time, the English hero has been a medieval revolutionary, an earl in Renaissance drama, a Saxon freedom fighter in the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries or a courteous robber. Nowadays the hero is especially known as a famous romantic film star. This paper is about the way the legendary hero has been interpreted over the centuries and the medieval texts translated and adapted to suit the taste of the new audience. This capacity of adaptation in the Robin Hood legend has been demonstrated in the twentieth century through the various film adapatations of the now legitimate bandit, rightfully fighting against coercive and unjust authorities
The syntax and semantics interface of present-day and Old English speech verbs : say and tell versus secgan and tellan
Authors: González Orta Marta María
Published: August 2017

The aim of this paper is to analyse the syntax-semantics interface of the Old English speech verbs secgan and tellan, and the Present-day English speech verbs say and tell, respectively, in order to show the differences in each language when linking their syntactic and semantic representations. In this analysis the concept of lexical template has been applied as a lexical representation which includes syntactic and semantic information within the same format and allows us to capture linguistic regularities. Moreover, taking into account the syntactic alternations of these verbs a comparison between them will be established in terms of the degree of semantic prototypicality that they show within their respective domains and with respect to their transitivity
Linguistics in applied linguistics : a historical overview
Authors: Harris Tony
Published: August 2017

This paper looks at some of the underlying reasons which might explain the uncertainty surrounding applied linguistics as an academic enquiry. The opening section traces the emergence of the field through its professional associations and publications and identifies second and foreign language (L2) teaching as its primary activity. The succeeding section examines the extent to which L2 pedagogy, as a branch of applied linguistics, is conceived within a theoretical linguistic framework and how this might have changed during a historical period that gave rise to Chomskyan linguistics and the notion of communicative competence. The concluding remarks offer explanations to account for the persistence of linguistic parameters to define applied linguistics
Arguments or macroroles? : Two functional approaches to Old English quirky case
Authors: Martín Arista Francisco Javier , Caballero González Laura
Published: August 2017

After comparing two functional approaches to the question of Old English deviant accusatives, genitives and datives, this paper follows Martín Arista (2001a, b) with respect to Old English prototypical verbal constructions: the prototypical transitive construction is defined as the active accomplishment version of verbs like writan 'write', the activity implementation of creation and consumption verbs representing the less-prototypical transitive construction; the active accomplishment use of verbs such as faran 'go' characterize the prototypical intransitive construction, whereas the activity version of motion verbs define the less-prototypical intransitive construction. The conclusion is reached that quirky case is not a feature of the morphosyntax of certain intransitive verbs of state and causative state, but a characteristic of verbal constructions that, deviating from both the transitive and the intransitive prototypes, show not only case-marking irregularity but also more case-marking choices than verbs that abide by the transitive or intransitive prototype. Since marked morphosyntax -including quirky case- is considered in this paper a consequence of the non-prototypical character of argument structure, it is claimed that the relationship between canonical lexical templates and their configurations should be semantically and syntactically motivated. The Principle of Lexical Template Instantiation guarantees the suitable degree of implementation of a lexical template by stipulating that, prototypically, all the internal variables of the instantiations of lexical templates are fully specified

Mediação, circulação e uso da informação no contexto das redes sociais
Authors: Ribas Cláudia da Cunha , Ziviani Paula
Published: August 2017

O presente trabalho busca compreender a mediação, a circulação e uso da informação no contexto das redes sociais que utilizam as tecnologias de informação e comunicação - TICs em sua organização. Para tanto, apreende-se e constitui-se um corpo de conhecimentos teóricos e empíricos, que visa refletir sobre redes de informação sob a ótica de redes sociais e redes virtuais como objeto de estudo da Ciência da Informação. Assim sendo, elege-se como foco norteador da análise a dinâmica da informação e do conhecimento em rede no âmbito das inter-relações sociais, virtuais e da modalidade de educação a distância no Brasil como possibilidade de criação de comunidades virtuais – proposição ainda pouco explorada no campo da Ciência da Informação. Nesse sentido, investiga-se a emergência de novas relações sociais para o entendimento de redes de informação.
A (in)sustentabilidade do discurso da educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável do Banco Mundial
Authors: Moreira Luciano Accioly Lemos
Published: August 2017

A partir da década de 70 do século XX o capital adentra numa crise estrutural, causando com isso, efeitos danosos a vida humana de maneira continuada e rastejante. Devido aos danos econômicos, políticos e ecológicos de um modo de produção destrutivo de nossa época, o capital tenta dar resposta a sua crise estrutural. Tem-se em vários setores da sociedade e mais precisamente na educação, o surgimento do discurso da sustentabilidade como possibilidade na resolução dos conflitos de nossa época. Proporemos-nos analisar o discurso sobre a educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável contidos nos projetos do Banco Mundial e da ONU a partir da década de 90 do século XX. Procuraremos demonstrar as permanências e rupturas desse dizer, as possibilidades e limites desse novo projeto desenvolvimentista na reprodução da sociabilidade capitalista. Acreditamos que ao explicitarmos a voz ideológica do capital a sua crise, demonstrando o seu funcionamento, sua operacionalidade e limites, estaremos também, contribuindo para ecoar o que se quer silenciar, ou seja, a insustentabilidade de um sistema que refrea o livre desenvolvimento dos indivíduos. Com isso, a sustentabilidade da humanidade terá como possibilidade efetiva apenas quando o controle social da produção, da circulação e do consumo estiverem sob o controle consciente dos trabalhadores associados, ou seja, numa sociedade para além da escravidão assalariada do capital, numa sociabilidade comunista.
Os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) e a educação brasileira sob a supremacia do mercado
Authors: Moreira Luciano Accioly Lemos
Published: August 2017

O presente trabalho analisa, à luz da ontologia marxiana, a formação voltada para a empregabilidade contida nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (1998/1999), nos Temas Transversais (1998) e nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Médio (1999). A abordagem defendida pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais apresenta a sociabilidade do capital como algo insuperável e intocável, cabendo apenas transformar a consciência dos homens, capacitando-os para o enfrentamento dos desafios de um mundo tecnologicamente desenvolvido e economicamente mundializado. A critica realizada por nossa análise, pauta-se na explicitação das implicações e limites dessa proposta para a formação humana, compreendendo que a proposta dos documentos analisados mantém os efeitos do trabalho alienado sobre o trabalhador, legitimando e naturalizando a desumanização inerente às relações sociais da sociabilidade capitalista. Quanto à vida coletiva, os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais e os Temas Transversais sugerem a cidadania e o mercado consumidor. Entendemos que essa vida coletiva tem uma existência abstrata e vazia de sentido, pois restringe-se ao espaço da política e do mercado, controlados e necessários à reprodução desse sistema. E por fim, tentamos demonstrar as possibilidades de uma atividade educativa que vislumbre uma formação para além do capital.

Identidades, sujeitos e línguas indígenas: “entre o corte do excesso e o semear da falta”
Authors: Souza Adria Simone Duarte de , Nino Carlos Guillermo Rojas
Published: August 2017

Propõe uma discussão sobre a noção de língua nacional definida através do pressuposto da unidade lingüística e sustentada por afirmações do tipo “a língua portuguesa é o idioma oficial da República Federativa do Brasil”. Esta afirmação começa a ser reestruturada pelo reconhecimento oficial da diversidade lingüística brasileira e das dificuldades no trato com estas questões, tanto em nível acadêmico quanto nos demais níveis de poder. Levantam-se alguns questionamentos acerca das políticas lingüísticas articuladas junto à política de Educação Escolar Indígena no Brasil e especificamente na Amazônia. De um lado estão os povos indígenas que, por motivos históricos alheios a sua vontade, não falam uma língua que se possa denominar como propriamente indígena. De outro lado, discute-se como se organizam as práticas de escolarização em comunidades indígenas de fronteira que falam não somente uma, mas até cinco línguas, incluindo as indígenas e as línguas dos países limítrofes. O que fazer, então, se todas estas realidades estão sujeitas ao “modismo reducionista” imposto pela legislação da educação escolar indígena bilíngüe?

Embora saibamos, por exemplo, que a mídia, por meio de filmes, novelas, séries e documentários, influencie nas interpretações das pessoas sobre os conteúdos históricos, a História ensinada nos tempos escolares continua a assumir destaque na formação da idéia de história presente na mente da maioria da população. Neste sentido, o presente artigo procura analisar as representações dos povos indígenas produzidas pela Coleção História & Vida, de autoria de Nelson e Claudino Pilleti, adotada pelos alunos do ensino fundamental durante os anos 1980 e 1990 no Brasil. Nosso objetivo é perceber a presença de certas tipologias, padrões e este-reótipos na constituição da narrativa da história e identidade dos índios no discurso didático.
Relatos de pesquisa: considerações sobre a sociologia e a educação ambiental
Authors: Bagnolo Carolina Messora
Published: August 2017

Esta comunicação visa compartilhar alguns resultados pertinentes à pesquisa realizada no âmbito da pós-graduação, onde se buscou analisar a produção intelectual em sociologia ambiental na América Latina, entendendo quais são as propostas ou soluções que essa produção coloca para a minimização dos problemas socioambientais. A despeito dos resultados obtidos, nota-se que a educação ambiental, difundida como promessa para a emergência da consciência ambiental e possível superação da crise civilizatória, pouco se destaca dentre as preocupações da sociologia (como pode ser visto também em Layrargues, 2002).

Authors: Rausch Rita Buzzi , Sadalla Ana Maria Falcão de Aragão
Published: August 2017

A formação inicial de professores, comumente, propõe princípios da prática investigativa como abordagem metodológica docente, constituindo-se em aprendizagem e construção reflexiva do professor. Nesta perspectiva, muitas instituições incluíram no currículo o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso. Nesta atividade, investigamos os principais atributos do professor orientador ao desenvolvimento da reflexividade dos orientandos. Os sujeitos foram sete acadêmicas de Pedagogia. Os encontros de orientação foram gravados e transcritos e a apresentação oral da pesquisa videogravada. Foi solicitado para que cada acadêmica registrasse em portfólios, o processo de pesquisa vivenciado. Na realização de sua primeira pesquisa verificamos que as acadêmicas foram dependentes, apresentando medos e inseguranças frente ao novo. Os principais atributos da orientação à promoção da reflexividade das acadêmicas foram: mediação do conhecimento; auxílio na definição e compreensão da teoria; sinalização da necessidade de um olhar crítico frente ao fenômeno estudado; indicação de cuidados éticos à pesquisa; assunção de uma atitude indagativa; sinalização da incerteza do processo de pesquisa; animação do processo de aprendizagem das acadêmicas; inserção das acadêmicas em eventos científicos e solicitação do registro da pesquisa em portfólio. Este resultado vem ressaltar a importância da figura do orientador no processo de pesquisa à promoção da reflexividade docente.

Partindo de projeto formativo-investigativo, o processo de reflexividade coletiva de um grupo de professores foi registrado na forma escrita, possibilitando a identificação de indícios deste processo e seus determinantes e implicações mais evidentes. O objetivo da pesquisa foi compreender o processo de refle4xividade docente, por meio da análise crítica das narrativas dos professores envolvidos e identificar estratégias de formação potenciadoras do desenvolvimento das lógicas reflexivas dos participantes em sua busca coletiva para superarem dilemas cotidianos e concretizarem a construção colaborativa e partilhada do projeto político-pedagógico da escola. O projeto formativo desenvolve-se a partir de inquietações provocadas pelas diferentes perspectivas nas discussões em relação à possibilidade de mudança de concepção, estrutura, organização e currículo da escola. Os resultados indicam ser possível intervir intencionalmente nos processos de construção de conhecimento e desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal docentes promovendo um processo de reflexão compartilhado, sistemático e crítico centrado nas suas práticas e ações cotidianas.

Research with nonhuman primates (NHPs) – monkeys for the most part – has led to critical health advances that have saved or improved millions of human lives. While NHPs account for just one-half of one percent of animals in current medical research, it is no exaggeration to say they are essential to our ability to find cures for cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, obesity/diabetes, and dozens of other diseases that cause human suffering and death.
