Memórias da escuridão da História em José Saramago

A nossa reflexão sobre a memória na ficção de José Saramago incide sobre as memórias da repressão em Levantado do Chão. Trazer de novo à memória a repressão é reler o passado, não esquecendo os actos atrozes que a História dos homens veicula. Memória e História articulam-se assim num “grito” de resistência que o romance leva até ao leitor ao denunciar a repressão.

L’homme face à la mort dans La Peste et As Intermitências da Morte

Nous nous proposons d’esquisser une réflexion comparative axée sur le thème de la mort, à partir de l’analyse de La Peste (1947) d’Albert Camus et As Intermitências da Morte (2005) de José Saramago. Dès lors, ces deux romans présentent au lecteur deux expériences littéraires de la mort, apparemment différentes mais, en réalité, axées sur une même interrogation de l’Homme, celle de la mort. Notre hypothèse de lecture vise donc à analyser comment cette réflexion sur la mort se développe dans les deux romans, à partir de la peste et des intermittences de la mort.

Customer Loyalty toward grocery retailing service: a multidimensional approach to costumer perceived value

Structured abstract Purpose: To deepen, in grocery retail context, the roles of consumer perceived value and consumer satisfaction, as antecedents’ dimensions of customer loyalty intentions. Design/Methodology/approach: Also employing a short version (12-items) of the original 19-item PERVAL scale of Sweeney & Soutar (2001), a structural equation modeling approach was applied to investigate statistical properties of the indirect influence on loyalty of a reflective second order customer perceived value model. The performance of three alternative estimation methods was compared through bootstrapping techniques. Findings: Results provided i) support for the use of the short form of the PERVAL scale in measuring consumer perceived value; ii) the influence of the four highly correlated independent latent predictors on satisfaction was well summarized by a higher-order reflective specification of consumer perceived value; iii) emotional and functional dimensions were determinants for the relationship with the retailer; iv) parameter’s bias with the three methods of estimation was only significant for bootstrap small sample sizes. Research limitations:/implications: Future research is needed to explore the use of the short form of the PERVAL scale in more homogeneous groups of consumers. Originality/value: Firstly, to indirectly explain customer loyalty mediated by customer satisfaction it was adopted a recent short form of PERVAL scale and a second order reflective conceptualization of value. Secondly, three alternative estimation methods were used and compared through bootstrapping and simulation procedures.
