Machado de Assis & o constume retórico dos caracteres

O ensaio investiga o modo de construção da personagem em O alienista, de Machado de Assis. Para realizar essa investigação, levanta-se a hipótese de que a matriz técnica para o desenho das criaturas da novela tenham sido Os caracteres de Teofrasto. Por essa razão, apresentam-se um esboço histórico e uma análise crítica desse livro, com ênfase em seus desdobramentos na França, na Inglaterra e no Brasil. O ensaio procura, assim, filiar a prática artística de Machado de Assis ao costume retórico dos caracteres, entendidos como manifestação de uma espécie literária - o retrato satírico - com função, regras, características e história muito específicas

SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE RHETORIC: FROM THE THEORETICAL BASIS TO THE PRODUCTION OF DIDACTIC MATERIAL FOR UNDERGRADUATE CHEMISTRY TEACHING

This work is part of a study that focused on analyzing the contributions of didactic activities related to scientific language rhetoric characteristics aimed at developing students' abilities to identify such characteristics in chemistry scientific texts and critical reading of those texts. In this study, we present the theoretical basis adopted to determine the scientific discourse characteristics and for the production of the didactic material used in those activities. Latour, Coracini and Campanario studies on persuasive rhetorical strategies present in scientific articles aided the production of such material.
