LES FLEURS DU MAL AND EU: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS UNDER THE FINITENESS OF THE FLESH

The theme of death will be approached, relating the finiteness of the flesh and the fullness of the being as the main focus of the topic , analyzing aspects in the poetry of the canons of world literature, Baudelaire and Augusto dos Anjos, pointing the confluences between the authors and the points that they converge, related to the theme in question. To do so, poems taken from Les Fleurs du Mal ( 1857 ) and Eu (1912 ) related to the theme of death will serve as the basis for this essay. Many are the poems of both authors that address the theme of death, the finiteness of the flesh and the possible fullness of being. Thus, only a few compositions were selected for analysis, for the impossibility of extending the theme at this moment. The poems chosen for analysis are Une Charogne and Remords Posthume, by Charles Baudelaire, published in Les Fleurs Du Mal in 1857, and “Apóstrofe à carne” and “A pecadora”, by Augusto dos Anjos, published in “Eu” in 1912. One will try, then, in this essay, to make an interpretation of these compositions, as well as examine some figures of speech and aesthetic resources used by the poets over the poems.

Collective subject`s ideological construction in drug-addicted people`s narratives.

In this paper, I analyzed, according to Discourse Analysis approach, the narratives of drug-addicted people which were found on a website of the drug rehabilitation and treatment clinic www.ctiviva.com.br. I could find common characteristics among the reported narratives that integrate the group’s opinion into the same ideological position. I could also find a collective subject, considering the narratives made by the drug-addicted people who were under treatment into the reported clinic whose site was mentioned before. That site displays the 10 narratives that composed this corpus research. That analysis focused the construction of the process that indicates a social position of group, considering three categories: key-expressions; key-ideas and anchorage, according to Lefèvre (2005). The first one indicates excerpts of testimonials that facilitates the key-words` identification; the second one, the key-words, indicates the meanings of each testimonial, and the last one, the anchorage, indicates the ideology of the discourse. Managing such categories enabled the identification of all the narratives as situation category, as proposed by Bertaux (2010). The results indicated two criteria that establish relationships of power: family and the good treatment. The construction of a collective subject evidenced the ideologies of the clinic and of the treatments that were given to the patients. 

Comparative study of the lexicon of speakers of different religious

This work is part of the studies of Lexical Semantics and aims to compare the speakers lexicon of four different religions in four different types of texts. It starts from the assumption that religious speaker tends to keep its religious lexicon as a way of maintaining belief and block new doctrines. Thus, in addition to make use of a specific lexicon, the speaker tends to spreads it to other contexts of use. This shows how lexical and social reality are closely linked. For this research, were adopted as theoretical assumptions Structural Semantics, with an emphasis on Lexical Field Theory, Social Lexicology and Corpus Linguistics. The analyzed data confirmed the initial hypothesis that these speakers go beyond the religious context and make use of the religious lexicon in nonreligious contexts, specifically in not overtly religious texts. In addition, they showed that there is an approximation between churches of similar doctrines in some contexts, but, surprisingly, also doctrinally distinct churches in other contexts.
