Os possessivos de segunda pessoa em cartas de leitores de jornais brasileiros dos séculos XIX e XX

Based on the theoretical and methodological presuppositions of the theory of language variation and change (cf. WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 2006 [1968]), it is described and analyzed in this article the process of variation/change concerning the second person possessive pronouns in letters from readers of Brazilian newspapers from the XIX and XX centuries. These letters feature a portrait of the Brazilian press from the South (Santa Catarina), Southeast (Rio de Janeiro) and Northeast (Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte) regions in each century and are part of the Project for Brazilian Portuguese History‘s (PHPB) printed common minimal corpus. The point of departure of this work is the idea that the use of variant forms of expressing second person possessive pronouns – teu and seu – results from the interaction characterizing the varied social roles performed by the letters‘ senders. Arranging communicative units, which gather elements/features denoting time and space, conditioned and determined by socio-historical and cultural aspects, the readers‘ letters, turn out to be a promising research field under the light of this paper. More specifically, In the row of presented results in studies about the pronominal system in the diachroneity of/in Brazilian Portuguese (PB) (FARACO, 2002; LORENGIAN-PENKAL, 2007; CALLOU; LOPES, 2003; LOPES; DUARTE, 2003; MENON, 2005; ARDUIN; COELHO, 2006; LOPES, 2009; MARCOTULIO, 2010), the results featured in here point at different usages of the possessives, noticing the coexistence of the forms teu/tua and seu/sua strongly conditioned by the socio-discursive nature of the readers‘ letters in the course of the centuries and through different regions.

A produção oral de inglês como LE em uma escola pública de Natal: uma experiência com a abordagem baseada em tarefas

The aim of this action research of mixed-methods was investigating the role of the tasks proposed by the Task-Based Learning, TBL (WILLIS, 1996) in the process of development of speech production in English as a foreign language (EFL) at the public school. Twenty-three students from a grade of secondary school from a state school in Rio Grande do Norte were exposed systematically to the implementation of the learning tasks focused in the speech production in EFL during two months. The instruments used at the data collection – pre and post-questionnaire; field notes; focal group; and pre and post-tests - generated two kinds of data: a) qualitative (the perception of the students about their speech production and the teaching of this ability at the public school; and, the usage of strategies of communication for these learners facing TBL); and, b) quantitative (the development of pronunciation; of accuracy in the proficiency tests (test KET – Cambridge, adapted); and, of Global Oral Proficiency (POG) of these learners after the accomplishment of the learning tasks). The quantitative results of the study indicate that there was a statistically significant development of pronunciation and accuracy at the proficiency tests, after the tasks experience. The qualitative findings, in turn, represented by the learners‟ reports and from the research teacher, show that there has been greater focus on the use of communicative strategies during the learners‟ oral production throughout the intervention with the tasks.

Luís da Câmara Cascudo prefaciador

Presenting a reading of prefaces written by Luís da Câmara Cascudo, related to literary and non-literary books from the early 20TH century (1921-1984), is the goal of this thesis. Considering the word in its meaning: "Latin praefatio, the action of speaking in the commencement. Synonym for 'prologue ', in the sense of text that precedes or introduces a work" (MOISÉS, 1999, p.416). In this research, a preface is understood as the text written and published with the intent to provide information to facilitate reading and/or understanding of the work to which it refers, regardless it is set at initial pages, when it is named as „prolog‟, „letter to the reader‟, „proem‟, „prelude‟, „preamble, forewords, summary, etc., or when only appears in the last pages of the book and turns to be named as „afterword‟. It is a qualitative research, with a bibliographic and interpretive feature, considering that part of the analysis of texts employs the inductive method, focuses on the depth of understanding that the researcher has on the researched object. For the study of this genre we recourse to Sales (2003), Teles (1986; 1989; 2010), Clemente (1986) and Candido (2005); as for the notion of tradition, we resort to Eliot (1997) and Candido (1997; 1980). The set of prefaces is a wide material for research that will allow scholars of Brazilian culture to continue work started by Luís da Câmara Cascudo, still in 1921, when he started his career as a prefacer.

Para um cinema da crueldade em Antonin Artaud

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) est un poète, acteur, dramaturge et écrivain français né à Marseille, mais dont la vie artistique se développe principalement à Paris. Artaud est l'auteur de la notion bien connue de Théâtre de cruauté, qui inspire encore aujourd'hui de nombreux groupes de théâtre dans différents coins du monde. Il a écrit sur le théâtre, la poésie, l'art, la philosophie, entre autres. De 1924-1935 est également dédié au cinéma, à la fois dans son théorique et pratique. Une étape un peu inconnu et peu exploré dans sa vie. Elle a joué dans 22 films avec certains des réalisateurs les plus importants dans le monde, et a laissé huit scénarios, dont un seul a été realizé, et huit écrits théoriques sur le cinéma. Cette thèse cherche à examiner précisément cette période insuffisamment étudié dans sa carrière, à partir de trois questions initiales: Artaud développé un sens de la cruauté au-delà du théâtre? Nous pouvons penser à la culture de la cruauté envers les films, en d‘autres termes, un cinéma de la cruauté ? Nous pouvons penser sur le sujet contemporain de cette culture? La réponse à ces trois questions est oui. L'idée de la pensée de la cruauté au cinéma est intervenue concomitamment à leurs expériences et élaborations de ce qu'il a appelé Théâtre de la cruauté. Les deux réflexions sont donnés concomitamment et de manière récursive. Plus que cela, toutes ses productions artistiques, dont la poésie et la peinture, ont été traversés par la notion de cruauté. Nous concluons que leurs élaborations sur un cinéma de la cruauté a eté interrompu au moment même que le développement technique a souligné la possibilité de sa réalisation. De plus, à l'enquête de son travail, nous pouvons voir que presque toute sa pensée a été préparé sous les images, de sorte que nous pouvons même parler d'une pensée cinématographique d‘Antonin Artaud. En conséquence, nous ne concevons pas sa théorie au septième art comme secondaire à leurs intérêts, comme le rapporte la plupart de ses commentateurs, mais absolument essentiel dans le développement de ses écrits, qui jusqu'à maintenant accumulé plus de deux mille pages. En outre, Artaud ne pense pas l'art pour l'art, mais seulement comme un dialogue fructueux et intensif avec l'homme et la culture. L‘art était l'instrument privilégié de proposer un diagnostic et une nouvelle façon de voir la société contemporaine. À travers le film il a imaginé la possibilité d'une reprise de forces éthico-esthétique-politiques perdus sous les décombres de la civilisation occidentale. L'établissement d'une nouvelle relation avec l'image, le sujet de la (post-) modernité pourrait sauver une puissance esthétique du corps et de la pensée que, réinterprété, agiraient envers eux-mêmes et le monde à réinventer.

Imaginários da morte: poética das imagens em cemitérios brasileiros

The thesis presented is committed to a poetic reading that results in the creation of meaning and images of the death from the various cultural practices and symbolic representations exposed in urban cemeteries in some Brazilian cities, aiming to give visibility to new understandings about the imaginary of the in the contemporary scene. Death, therefore, will be seen as a imagining condition of anthroposwhen starts itself from the prerogative of the human consciousness of death (MORIN, 1970), in other words, this awareness that man has he will die and that triggers reflections about their existence allows the emergence of a number of practices such as: mourning, funeral rituals and the creation of several impregnated representations of human emotions emerged from the death facing the man and present, in a more evident form in cemeterial spaces. For this, it focuses on the conflictuous dimension that man establishes with death, because the cultural practices and symbolic representations observed in the research field are the result of this conflict and allow the expansion of the senses about this issue, to the extent that these are coated with a fantastic aura, mystical, secret, spooky, fearful, religious, building a complex imagination. The general plan of this study is to discuss and create, from a phenomenology of imagination and materials / dynamics imagination, as well as along the lines treated by Gaston Bachelard, images of death, from a field experience in cemeteries in Brazil. For this, it is assumed, to observe the cultural practices and symbolic representations in these spaces, a posture able to make the experience into the search field a moment of symbolic exchanges and creation. Thus, it was used observation, conversations with visitors and employees of the cemeteries and the capture of photographic records. The data produced as a fragment of a conversation, a tearful outburst about the loss of a relative, a melancholic epitaph, a flower on the grave or a cry captured by photography were seen as detonators of meanings and a poetic of the imagination.

Gestão Social em Empreendimentos Econômicos Solidários: uma abordagem no Oeste Potiguar

The central research question was to search for data to ratify the theory and discourse of the so-called practitioners of economic solidarity, by defending the substantive rationality should guide the principles of economic solidary, designing the space economy incidental and not the primacy of relations in determining social as well, reflecting the predominance of dimensions of social management in administrative practices of ESS's. For both analyzed the theoretical dimensions of social management - sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental - manifested in organizational practices supportive of economic organization Potiguar West. For the success of the research realized the triangulation involving a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. At first the research will use a quantitative approach, from the cluster analysis, to verify the behavior of the sample chosen for this study. In the second stage of the qualitative study was carried out focus group technique (FLICK, 2002) for further analysis of the dimensions of social management on organizational practices supportive of economic organization, related to the principles of Solidary Economy, established in a quantitative approach. In quantitative analysis, the socio-political dimension, it was clear that the more equity instruments of internal and external, from the purposeful living in public spaces, the best monetary results. Another point worth stressing concerns the economic dimension, with the practice reciprocity prevailing in market. Thus, the qualitative approach was possible to understand the processes of exchange of product or service. Rural enterprises surveyed in the allocation of the agro-ecological products have the following scale of priority, sequentially: self-consumption (domestic), market and exchange. The research leads to the fact that training and practices that enhance the socio-political dimension (knowledge, empowerment, sense of belonging) become the guiding principle for the strengthening of the social management in the context of other dimensions, leading to gains sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental. Despite the weaknesses found in the organizational dimension and environment, both in a quantitative as in qualitative, we determined that the practices of ESS's Potiguar West incorporate predominantly elements of social management and economic solidarity, with a preponderance of substantive rationality in the primacy of the instrumental. Finally, research has brought information that the participants of the ESS's do not give the money economy primacy in determining social relations, which in turn leads to the confirmation that, in practice the solidarity economy, prevailing the dominance of substantive rationality, as a guide for organizational practices

Augusto Tavares de Lyra em vários tons

El presente estudio tiene por objetivo, analizar las prácticas políticas-intelectuales de Augusto Tavares de Lyra, perteneciente a una elite que gobernó el estado de Río Grande del Norte de Brasil, durante los dos primeros decenios de la República Vieja , de 1889 a 1918. El recorte temporal considerado tiene inicio al final del siglo XIX, en 1872, año de su nacimiento, hasta el año 1958, cuando falleció a los casi ochenta y seis años de vida. Mientras tanto, analizaremos vivencias y prácticas de Tavares de Lyra como hombre público a partir de los documentos investigados. Utilizamos como soporte principal artículos, reportajes, discursos y libros escritos por sus contemporáneos. Observamos que las fuentes documentales, tales como mensajes, leyes y decretos gubernamentales, bibliografías sobre el período evocado y el archivo del intelectual Tavares de Lyra. Entendemos que, aunque fuera un político de prácticas liberales y empeñado en reformar el sistema educativo brasilero, él fue fruto de un instante de la política nacional, que privilegió pocos núcleos familiares en detrimento de la democracia descrita solamente en la ley, y que por eso, poseía comprometimiento con las prácticas de la Primera República. Su legado reside en una obra literaria ligada directamente al Instituto Histórico y Geográfico Brasileiro y a los estudios realizados, en cuanto jurista y economista, conocedor de los problemas que afligían Brasil en esa época
