Published: March 2018

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the features of creativity in social interaction on a sample of male convicts serving sentences in a penal colony (N = 18, convicted of fraud and selfish violence, and N = 20 convicted of aggressively violent crimes). The relationship between the fluency indicators in situations of positive and negative connotations (revenge for damage and lies in romantic relationships) with personal values (the Sh.Shwartz questionnaire), aggression (the Bassa-Perry questionnaire), temperament characteristics (K.Cluninger's questionnaire), behavior (Questionnaire of M.Ranko et al.). Corporations of convicts found correlations of fluency in situations with negative connotation with hostility and anger, while in aggressively violent criminals the refusal of revenge is mediated by the highest values of social focus. The results show that creativity in social interaction in situations with negative and positive connotations is not a single construct: it should be differentiated according to the antisocial and prosocial orientation. The limitations of the study are indicated and directions for further research are suggested.

Teaching Formulaic Sequences in the Classroom: Effects on Spoken Fluency
Authors: McGuire Michael , Larson-Hall Jenifer
Published: March 2018

Formulaic sequences (FS) are frequently used by native speakers and have been found to help non-native speakers sound more fluent as well. We hypothesized that explicitly teaching FS to classroom ESL learners would increase the use of such language, which could further result in increased second language (L2) fluency. We report on a 5-week study where students in a control group (n = 8) heard authentic English and practiced speaking and listening using a task-based approach, while students in a treatment group (n = 11) did the same but also focused on noticing and using FS found in weekly topic transcripts. Measures of speech rate (syllables per minute) and mean length of run (number of syllables found in the longest stretch with no pauses) served as objective measures of fluency. Sixteen native-speaker judges assessed excerpts from pre- and posttests for subjective fluency. The number of syllables of FS (expressed as a ratio of the total number of syllables) was counted by two judges. Results found large effect sizes for group membership in all measures, with the treatment group increasing FS use and fluency to a large extent and statistically outperforming the control group on most measures. We conclude that explicitly teaching formulaic sequences may lead to increased use of such phrases and also increased fluency.Les locuteurs natifs emploient souvent des formules; celles-ci font également en sorte que les locuteurs non natifs semblent parler la langue avec plus de fluidité. Nous avons émis l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’enseignement explicit de formules en classe à des étudiants en ALS augmenterait l’emploi de formules, ce qui mènerait à une meilleure compétence en L2. Nous rendons compte d’une étude de 5 semaines pendant lesquelles des étudiants dans un groupe témoin (n = 8) ont écouté de l’anglais authentique et se sont pratiqués à parler et à écouter selon une approche basée sur les tâches. Les étudiants du groupe expérimental (n = 11) ont fait la même chose mais se sont également penchés sur le repérage et l’emploi de formules dans des transcriptions thématiques chaque semaine. Les mesures du débit de parole (syllabes par minute) et de la longueur moyenne des tronçons (nombre de syllabes dans le plus long tronçon sans pause) ont servi de mesures objectives de la fluidité. Seize juges- locuteurs natifs- ont évalué la fluidité subjective à partir d’extraits tirés de pré-tests et post-tests. Deux juges ont compté le nombre de syllabes des formules (exprimé sous forme de ratio du nombre total de syllabes). Les résultats ont révélé une importante ampleur des effets pour l’appartenance au groupe avec toutes les mesures. L’augmentation de l’emploi des formules et de la fluidité chez le groupe expérimental a été notable et le rendement de ce groupe a été supérieur de façon significative à celui du groupe témoin pour la plupart des mesures. Nous concluons que l’enseignement explicit des formules pourrait mener à un emploi accru de ces expressions ainsi qu’à une meilleure fluidité.

This study examined the role of media on the learning of formulaic sequences(FSs) by advanced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners (n = 40) enrolledin an English Language Teaching (ELT) program at a government universityin Turkey. The learners were divided into experimental and control groups. Theinstrument involved clips from two American television series. Over the courseof 3 weeks, the learners in the experimental group received training in 30 FSsthrough watching the video clips. The control group learned the FSs throughtraining only. In order to determine the extent to which learners learned andretained the FSs, the learners in both groups were given both a posttest and adelayed posttest. Independent-samples t-tests were conducted to compare the twogroups with respect to the learning and retention of FSs. The results showed thatthe experimental group had significantly higher rates of retention of FSs. Severalpedagogical considerations regarding the teaching of FSs to English as a secondlanguage (ESL) and EFL learners are discussed.Cette étude a examiné le rôle des médias sur l’apprentissage de formules par desétudiants avancés en anglais langue étrangère (ALE) (n = 40) inscrits à un programmed’enseignement de la langue anglaise dans une université publique enTurquie.

Tsunami disasters can cause serious casualties and damage to social infrastructures. An early understanding of disaster states is required in order to advise evacuations and plan rescues and recoveries. We have developed a real-time tsunami inundation forecast system using a vector supercomputer SX-ACE. The system can complete a tsunami inundation and damage estimation for coastal city regions at the resolution of a 10 m grid size in under 20 minutes, and distribute tsunami inundation and infrastructure damage information to local governments in Japan. We also develop a new configuration for the computational domain, which is changed from rectangles to polygons and called a polygonal domain, in order to effectively simulate in the entire coast of Japan. Meanwhile, new supercomputers have been developed, and their peak performances have increased year by year. In 2016, a new Xeon Phi processor calledKnights Landingwas released for high-performance computing. In this paper, we present an overview of our real-time tsunami inundation forecast system and the polygonal domain, which can decrease the amount of computation in a simulation, and then discuss its performance on a vector supercomputer SX-ACE and a supercomputer system based on Intel Xeon Phi. We also clarify that the real-time tsunami inundation forecast system requires the efficient vector processing of a supercomputer with high-performance cores.
Identifying Building Damage Patterns in the 2016 Meinong, Taiwan Earthquake Using Post-Event Dual-Polarimetric ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 Imagery

The 2016 magnitude 6.4 Meinong earthquake caused catastrophic damage to peoples lives and properties in Taiwan. Synthetic Aperture Radar remote sensing is a useful tool to rapidly grasp the near real-time building damage to areas affected by the earthquake. Previous studies employed X-band single polarized high-resolution synthetic aperture radar imagery to identify building damage. However, suitable X-band single polarized high-resolution synthetic aperture radar imagery is not always accessible. Therefore, this research applied L-band dual-polarimetric ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 data to analyze the radar scattering characteristics of three types of affected buildings in the 2016 Meinong earthquake. The results show that collapsed buildings are characterized by a weak double-bounce scattering due to a reduced dihedral structure, while the characteristics of slightly damaged buildings are similar to those of undamaged buildings. Furthermore, the discrimination ability of a series of polarimetric, texture, and color features derived from the dual-polarimetric SAR data for three types of buildings affected by the earthquake are quantified based on a statistical analysis using the pixels in the combined areas of layover, shadow, and building footprint of each building. The results of the statistical analysis show that the spaceborne dual-polarimetric ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 images have good potential to distinguish between slightly damaged buildings and collapsed and tilted buildings. However, it is still difficult to distinguish between collapsed and tilted buildings. In addition, the results of the statistical analysis show that the mean value and variance value of the Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix of the span image are two suitable features by which the categories of building damage can be distinguished. The polarimetric and color features demonstrated poorer performance in terms of distinguishing between damage categories than the texture features.

Copious footage of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) was obtained during the disaster, and much of it is still available for viewing on the Internet. This makes up part of the big data that is important for grasping the reality of the GEJE. We aimed to help mainstream users reflect on what happened during the GEJE through video data that would help them visualize the situations, types, timing, and locations of associated damage to obtain correct knowledge and awareness about tsunamis and their associated damage, and to investigate evacuation actions. To this end, we developed a portal system called “3.11 Video Portal – Great East Japan Earthquake Public Footage Finder,” which can be used to search publicly available online videos of the GEJE and the consequent damage. This article reports the results of an access analysis following the launch of this system and an analysis of user surveys. Much of the footage is not linked to metadata on location, so this was added manually. We have seen a lot of access since launch, and have achieved a certain evaluation of the meaning or operability of this system. Furthermore, users commented about incorrect locational information, and tagging was accomplished through a collaborative effort. Based on the respondents’ feedback, we made a lot of technical revisions and confirmed the necessity of further refinement.

This study proposes a real-time monitoring method for two-dimensional (2D) networks via the fusion of probe data and a traffic flow model. In the Great East Japan Earthquake occurring on March 11, 2011, there was major traffic congestion as evacuees concentrated in cities on the Sanriku Coast. A tragedy occurred when a tsunami overtook the stuck vehicles. To evacuate safely and efficiently, the state of traffic must be monitored in real time on a 2D network, where all networks are linked. Generally, the traffic state is monitored only at observation points. However, observation data presents the risk of errors. Additionally, in the estimated traffic state of the 2D network, unlike non-intersecting road sections (i.e., one-dimensional), it is necessary to model user route choice behavior and origin/destination (OD) demand to input in the model. Therefore, in this study, we develop a state-space model that assimilates vehicle density and divergence ratio data obtained from probe vehicles in a traffic flow model that considers route choice. Our state-space model considers observational errors in the probe data and can simultaneously estimate traffic state and destination component ratio of OD demand. The result of simulated traffic model verification shows that the proposed model has good congestion estimation precision in a small-scale test network.

The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake caused severe damage to economic activities and livelihood of residents by disrupting the supply chains of common resources, such as food, water, roads, and other infrastructure. This disaster has made recovery difficult for businesses in the region. The importance of addressing BCP in regional areas was made clear by the 2004 Niigataken Chuetsu earthquake and the 2007 Niigataken Chuetsu-oki earthquake. The 2011 Greate East Japan earthquake revealed that individual business continuity efforts were interrupted by disruption of common infrastructure. Therefore, a new concept of a region-wide business continuity plans (BCP) that focuses on collaboration among stakeholders, including private corporations, local government, and communities, was urgently required to enhance the resilience of the region against disasters. A new concept of Area BCP was proposed by JICA and Prefectural-scale District BCP was formulated by prefectural governments of Kyoto and Kagawa.

In order to evaluate the effect of the presence of a regional BCP on disaster response, this study focuses on one of the most important elements of a regional BCP: the disaster relief chain information-sharing factor. Based on the supply of relief goods from the distribution center in Tosu City, Saga Prefecture to the evacuation centers in Kumamoto Prefecture during the Kumamoto earthquake, the evaluation was conducted by quantitative analysis using agent simulations of relief logistics.

RISING AIR POLLUTION: DEMAND ACTION-DRIVEN ADVOCACY AND BEHAVIOUR CHANGE FOR HEALTHER LIVES
Authors: Chauhan Pratibha , Chauhan Rahul
Published: March 2018

Air pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting the developing and the developed countries alike. The effects of air pollution on health are very complex as there are many different sources and their individual effects vary from one to the other. It is not only the ambient air quality in the cities but also the indoor air quality in the rural and the urban areas that are causing concern. In fact in the developing world the highest air pollution exposures occur in the indoor environment. Air pollutants that are inhaled have serious impact on human health affecting the lungs and the respiratory system; they are also taken up by the blood and pumped all-round the body. These pollutants are also deposited on soil, plants, and in the water, further contributing to human exposure. (1) Governments alone are not responsible for addressing such issues and health care professionals (HCPs) need to consider whether their duty of care should extend beyond normal clinical boundaries. When considering the ethics around the generation and effects of air pollution, especially in relation to justice and health care, actions taken by HCPs (e.g. in a country such as India) potentially extend beyond treating individual patients one-at-a-time for toxic effects of emissions and include advocating on behalf of others. (2) This paper covers the health impacts arising from ambient and household air pollution globally and at the national level (India) and recommends policy measures to reduce the health impact from air pollution in the national context. (3) Community health advocacy is also considered as of the main tasks of public health. Health professionals try to solve health problems with effective strategies. One of them is, specifically, community health advocacy. To act on health problems in the global context, participation and communitarian perspective is a choice. In addition to this behaviour change towards healthier lives by modifications in specific practices pertaining to rationale use of energy, water, cooking etc. is crucial for quality of life.

Young specimen of Dracaena cinnabari in the Koko Crater Botanical Garden, Honolulu, Hawaii, United States The dragon blood tree has a unique and strange appearance, with an "upturned, densely packed crown having the shape of an uprightly held umbrella". This evergreen species is named after its dark red resin, which is known as "dragon's blood". Its leaves are found only at the end of its youngest branches; its leaves are all shed every 3 or 4 years before new leaves simultaneously mature. Branching tends to occur when the growth of the terminal bud is stopped, due to either flowering or traumatic events (e.g. herbivory). The trees can be harvested for their crimson red resin, called dragon's blood, which was highly prized in the ancient world and is still used today. Dragon's blood is used as a stimulant and abortifacient. The root yields a gum-resin, used in gargle water as a stimulant, astringent and in toothpaste. The root is used in rheumatism, the leaves are a carminative. The local inhabitants of the city in the Socotra Island use the dragon's blood resin as a cure-all. They use it in general wound healing, as a coagulant, cure for diarrhea, for dysentery diseases, for lowering fevers. It is also taken for ulcers in the mouth, throat, intestines and stomach.

Background: Bronchial asthma can cause many morbidities such as heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, but the impact of asthma on renal function is not yet verified. This study aims to clarify the association between bronchial asthma and the risk of developing renal dysfunction. Methods: The study was conducted in Merjan Medical City in the period from April 2015 to August 2016, it included 75 patients with asthma and 70 control healthy subjects who completed medical questionnaires, pulmonary function tests, measurement of blood urea, serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance in addition to measurement of oxygen saturation (SPO2) by oximeter. Hypoxic patient has level of SPO2 less than 95%. Statistical analysis was done, P values ≤0.05 were considered to be clinically significant. Results: There was no significant difference in mean age and gender between both groups. There was significant difference in the mean values of blood urea (Bur), serum creatinine (Scr) and creatinine clearance (Ccr) before and after treatment for all patients, Bur increased and Scr decreased significantly in hypoxic group in comparison with non-hypoxic group (P ˂ 0.05). In addition, the study showed a significant correlation between blood urea and creatinine clearance (Ccr) with SPO2 (before treatment) (p less than 0.05), while non-significant negative correlation between serum creatinine and SPO2 (before treatment) (r = 0.1, P > 0.05). The results revealed that while Ccr decreased while the Bur and Scr increased significantly in male group in comparison to female group (P˂0.05). Also there was no significant correlation between blood urea, creatinine clearance (Ccr) and serum creatinine with forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) (before treatment) (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The study showed high percentage of asthmatic patients admitting in the hospital wards had abnormalities of renal function tests at the first days of admission to hospital, but most patients return to normal state gradually after getting treatment. The mechanisms and clinical implications of kidney dysfunction in patients with asthma need further investigation in addition to follow up for those patients to determine who of them will get chronic renal failure at future.
Spectra Characterization, In vitro Evaluation of Antibacterial and Hemolytic Activity of Novel Ligand 5-(5-{(2Z)-2-[(2-Hydroxynaphthalen-1- yl)Methylidene]Hydrazinyl}-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-yl)Benzene-1,2,3-Triol with some its Transition Metal Complexes

A new series of transition metal (Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II)and Cu(II) complexes of ligand 5-(5-{(2Z)-2-[(2-
hydroxynaphthalen-1- yl)methylidene]hydrazinyl}-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzene-1,2,3-triol were synthesized and
evaluated for its biological activities. A ligand was synthesized by reaction propyl gallate and hydrazine hydrate in
presence of ethanol to give 3, 4, 5- trihydroxybenzohydrazide followed by reaction with potassium hydroxide and carbon
disulfide, the resultant was mixed with hydrazine hydrate to produce the ligand. The newly synthesized compounds were
characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H NMR),
elemental analyses (C, H, N), mass spectral, conductivity measurement, and magnetic susceptibility data. The
Hyperchem 7.51 program have been used to draw the ligand geometry optimization and then study the electrostatic
potential that given right data about the active site. Antibacterial activity and hemolysis assay of prepared compounds
were studied. Antibacterial activity was carried out against Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus with
test compounds at four concentrations of (50,100,250,500μg/ml). Erythromycin was the standard drug utilize. Some of
these compounds showed good efficacy, while others ranged from medium to small.

Authors: Carvalho Marcelo Machado , Bianchi Patrícia Nunes Lima
Published: March 2018

As políticas públicas de saneamento básico estão diretamente ligadas ao direito fundamental à saúde e ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado, constituindo verdadeiro interesse público primário e dever do Estado. Com enfoque especial sobre o Município, este trabalho apresenta alguns dados estatísticos do atual cenário brasileiro, tendo como objetivo refletir sobre a omissão do Poder Público local na realização dessas políticas públicas e apontar medidas de caráter pedagógico ao agente político, para que passe a dar mais atenção ao saneamento básico e desenvolvimento urbano em prol de uma melhora na qualidade de vida.
Dançando contra o estado: análise descoreográfica das forças em movimento entre os caboclinhos de Goiana/Pernambuco
Authors: Acselrad Maria
Published: March 2018

Se a ideia de coreografia encontra-se relacionada a uma tradição disciplinar marcada por estratégias de poder e dominação do corpo e de seus movimentos (Lepécki, 2010), uma análise descoreográfica pode ser uma boa opção na tentativa de compreender a relação dança e guerra, dimensão importante da experiência dos caboclinhos. Agremiação carnavalesca formada por homens, mulheres e crianças, vestidos de índios e munidos de arco e flecha, os caboclinhos saem dançando e tocando pelas ruas de cidades da Região Metropolitana do Recife e da Zona da Mata norte de Pernambuco. Seus dançarinos são índios guerreiros, organizados em cordões, disposição espacial em que duas fileiras paralelas desenvolvem movimentos simétricos. Os líderes desses cordões são os puxantes, que articulam em sua movimentação, a preparação para um embate coreográfico. Suas danças, chamadas manobras, evocam movimentos de guerra, por meio de avanços, recuos, saltos, agachamentos, trançados e rodopios, e passos cujas variações envolvem o cruzamento e o descruzamento de pernas, além do gesto de atirar com o arco e flecha. Se, boa parte de suas apresentações acontece num espaço e tempo institucionalizados pelo poder público, há um dia no ano, em que os grupos saem às ruas de Goiana, para realizar a caçada do bode, cortejo ritual que prepara os caboclinhos para os desafios enfrentados durante o carnaval. Neste dia, o confronto direto entre os grupos é um risco em potencial. Observar a relação entre eles, não se resumindo a um grupo especificamente e nem à descrição do que se move, no plano do visível apenas, já que uma dimensão invisível decorrente da relação com a jurema, ali também dança, afirma a intenção aqui de praticar uma antropologia das forças, mais do que das formas. Evocar o clássico debate sobre guerra enquanto motor da vida social (Clastres, 2004), vem contribuir para o desvelamento de uma dimensão agonística, pouco discutida nos trabalhos sobre danças populares e tradicionais.
Proposta de produção textual para o ensino médio: como o professor tece este instrumento didático?
Authors: Ferreira Débora Cristina do Nascimento
Published: March 2018

Este artigo analisa uma proposta de produção textual direcionada para turmas do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio. O objetivo é investigar os princípios de ordem teórica e metodológica presentes em uma folha avulsa, da disciplina Redação, utilizada para orientar o processo de produção do gênero textual lenda. O dado utilizado foi gerado via pesquisa-ação, realizada no período de 2008 a 2012, em uma escola da rede privada de ensino, da cidade de Belém-PA. A escrita do docente é analisada a partir das contribuições teóricas dos estudos aplicados, voltados para o ensino de produção escrita (BUNZEN, 2009; GOMES-SANTOS, 2010; ANDRADE, 2011). Como resultado geral, constatamos: (i) a natureza híbrida e intergenérica da escrita do texto docente (CORREA, 2006); (ii) o movimento de institucionalização de um ensino de escrita pautado pelas orientações escolares já prestigiadas na escola-usina;26 (iii) indícios das orientações da regulamentação ofi cial vigente para o ensino de Português no Brasil.
Relações dialógicas no discurso acadêmico-científico dos artigos das diferentes áreas do conhecimento
Authors: Fuza Ângela Francine
Published: March 2018

Artigos científicos brasileiros de periódicos A1 das diferentes áreas do conhecimento foram analisados a fim de verificar as relações dialógicas presentes no discurso acadêmico-científico. Para isso, o estudo adotou como aporte teórico-metodológico a concepção dialógica de linguagem (BAKHTIN, 2003; BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV, 1992), segundo os princípios teóricos da Linguística Aplicada. Nos textos, foram identificados sete tipos de relações dialógicas: diálogo com o conhecimento científico consensual; concordância com discursos alheios; discordância dos discursos alheios; marca de novidade; relação de pergunta e resposta; relação de questionamento da teoria existente; inserção na comunidade científica. Os resultados evidenciam que as relações dialógicas mais recorrentes nos artigos das áreas são a inserção na comunidade científica, o diálogo com conhecimento científico consensual e a marca de novidade. Isso demonstra que a pretensa objetividade do discurso científico é um instante que organiza o enunciado, todavia, não constitui o todo, pois todo discurso é dialógico por natureza, tendo em vista que os sujeitos-pesquisadores, atuantes em suas comunidades, interagem e vivenciam o dialogismo do discurso científico na elaboração do conhecimento.
Terminologias em (trans)formação em linguística aplicada: uma reflexão à luz do paradigma da complexidade
Authors: Murta Claudia Rodrigues , Bacalá Valéria Lopes , Souza Valeska Soares
Published: March 2018

Neste ensaio, inserido na seara da Linguística Aplicada (LA), buscamos subsídios na Terminologia e no Paradigma da Complexidade para analisar diversos termos utilizados para se referir às línguas que não sejam a materna. Primeiramente, apresentamos um breve histórico das áreas da Terminologia e da LA no Brasil, apontando para a dinamicidade da marcação terminológica que envolve as denominações no que se refere à aprendizagem de línguas. Discorremos sobre conceitos da Teoria dos Sistemas Complexos que nos ajudam a esclarecer termos da LA e explicitamos como a língua pode ser considerada um sistema adaptativo complexo e a inserção da Terminologia nesse sistema. Posteriormente, analisamos alguns termos demonstrando como o Paradigma da Complexidade pode contribuir para o entendimento da fluidez do sistema de aprendizagem de línguas e como as terminologias devem traduzir tal complexidade.
Ferramentas para o planejamento de ensino: foco na transposição didática externa de gêneros textuais
Authors: Barros Eliana Merlin Deganutti de , Mafra Gabriela Martins
Published: March 2018

Este artigo coloca em evidência três ferramentas didáticas mediadoras doplanejamento e da planificação de atividades voltadas para a didatização de gêneros textuais: 1) o modelo teórico do gênero, 2) o modelo didático, 3) a sinopse da sequência didática de gêneros. O objetivo da investigação é mostrar a articulação entre essas ferramentas e sua importância no processo de transposição didática externa. Os dados da pesquisa são gerados no contexto do subprojeto PIBID “Letramentos na escola: práticas de leitura e produção textual”, desenvolvido na Universidade Estadual do Norte do Paraná (UENP – campus Cornélio Procópio). O aporte teórico-metodológico que sustenta tanto as ações do subprojeto como a pesquisa são os estudos desenvolvidos pelo Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD), principalmente, em sua vertente didática. Neste trabalho, analisa-se especificamente o papel das três ferramentas na didatização do gênero “carta do leitor”, no interior de um projeto de ensino voltado para a elaboração de um jornal escolar (Jornal PIBID – Primeira Edição). Esperamos, assim, estimular reflexões em relação à importância de investigações que se debrucem em questões ligadas à transposição didática externa de gêneros textuais, dando, assim, relevância à etapa do planejamento escolar.
Tá rindo de quê? Debate em torno de charges controversas
Authors: Gonçalves Tamiris Machado
Published: March 2018

A charge é um gênero discursivo que pode suscitar inúmeras polêmicas. Em nossa sociedade, há, sobretudo, maior possibilidade de controvérsia quando esse gênero dialoga com discursos que versam sobre morte. Tendo em vista tais considerações, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de: (a) examinar de que forma diferentes vozes sociais que atravessam charges polêmicas sobre morte trágica se engendram e refletem e refratam sentidos no discurso e (b) discutir sobre discursos-resposta que emergem a partir das charges polêmicas em questão. Foram delimitados como objetos de análise duas charges, uma de Marco Aurélio e outra de Chico Caruso, e discursos-resposta a elas relacionados, todos veiculados em meio digital em 2013 e que fizessem referência a fatos divulgados pela mídia brasileira também nesse ano. Como embasamento teórico, recorre-se às ideias postuladas por Bakhtin e seu Círculo, especialmente os conceitos de gêneros discursivos, enunciado, signo ideológico, acento de valor e vozes sociais. Espera-se, com as discussões levantadas, contribuir para socializar as ideias do Círculo de Bakhtin de modo a viabilizar o entendimento da linguagem em uso a partir da análise dos mais variados discursos sociais.
