Liian paljon terroria? : J. M. Coetzeen Elisabet Costello ja lukuohjeita hätäistä poliittista luentaa vastaan

Abstract: Too much terrror? J. M. Coetzee's Elisabeth Costello and reading guidelines for political reading

Ecriture romanesque post-apartheid chez J.M. Coetzee et Nadine Gordimer

Which changes has the official dismantling of apartheid brought in the novel writing of the two South African Nobel Prize winners? Focussing on Gordimer’s Get a life and Coetzee’s Elizabeth Costello, this study tries to reflect that main question. Theoretically, some elements of the cultural studies such as the popular, the liberalism and the fiction as a political work, help me develop my work. Narratology and structuralism help me for the literary study of the narratives, which constitute the core of my reflexion. From my study it appears that the post-apartheid novel as written by Coetzee and Gordimer has the same ideological orientation as their writing during the apartheid era. They write from the dominant perspective and dominant group. This situation challenges as Gordimer’s as Coetzee’s popularity on the ground of South African literature.

Interacções comunicativas numa criança com síndrome de Costello

As limitações apresentadas pela criança com Síndrome de Costello impossibilitam-na de aceder à linguagem oral como principal forma de comunicação. As pessoas que interagem com esta criança devem conhecer as formas de comunicação usadas nas interacções comunicativas e as respectivas intenções para que a comunicação se estabeleça. Este estudo procurou identificar como se processam as interacções comunicativas criança/adulto e criança/objecto em contexto de Jardim de infância. Procurou ainda saber qual o papel de uma intervenção programada na melhoria das capacidades comunicativas da criança. Para a realização deste estudo, devido às suas características de “estudo de caso único”, optou-se por utilizar uma metodologia mista, ou seja: qualitativa (comentários) e quantitativa (turnos, iniciativas). A observação directa através de vídeos e a análise dos documentos existentes no processo do participante permitiram a recolha de dados para se alcançarem os objectivos propostos. A interpretação dos resultados revelou-nos que as interacções criança/adulto/objecto se estabeleceram a um nível não simbólico e que os adultos desempenharam um papel fundamental no reconhecimento das interacções comunicativas, na interpretação das suas intenções e na resposta que dão às mesmas, condicionando assim a aprendizagem desta criança. Este estudo revelou-nos também que o programa de intervenção foi benéfico na medida em que se registou um aumento significativo, após a implementação do mesmo, do número e tempo de interacções assim como dos turnos e sua extensão máxima. Finalmente podemos dizer que é de extrema importância que o adulto saiba interpretar as intenções comunicativas da criança de modo a lhe poder proporcionar uma resposta assertiva, permitindo-lhe assim o acesso à aprendizagem.

‘Wooden Man’? : Masculinities in the Work of J. M. Coetzee (Boyhood, Youth and Summertime)

In seeking to advance the possibility of justice, gender and postcolonial studies have argued for the importance of the study of masculinities, through the acknowledgment that a richer understanding of such gendered formations may provide the basis for recognition of the Other and that, left uncriticised, such formations may be continuously delineated by the reproduction of systems of domination. The current study finds as its object the representations of masculinities in J. M. Coetzee’s Boyhood (1997), Youth (2002) and Summertime (2009). As works of transition in terms of Coetzee’s oeuvre - post-apartheid and post-Disgrace - the trilogy provides an account of the development of a man through several stages of life. While portraying the tensions of different geographical and cultural locations, such as apartheid South Africa and the London of the Sixties, the trilogy articulates the various norms that impact in the formation of gender, particularly of masculinities, through a complex system of power relations. The adherence to such norms is never linear, as the trilogy provides imaginative accounts of the contradictions that assist in the formulation of gender, depicting both the allure and the terror that constitute hegemonic masculinity. Located in the intersection of gender and postcolonial studies, the present study is based on the works by Raewyn Connell on masculinities. Animated by such a critical framework, the main research question of the present study is whether the trilogy advances a notion of masculinity that differs from the traditional rigid model, that is, whether there is resistance to hegemonic masculinity and what the spaces inhabited by the subaltern are. It is suggested that the trilogy presents the reader with instances of resistance to normative formulations of masculinity, by contrasting domination with the possibility of justice, and advancing an understanding of the often fatal consequences of gender norms to one’s sense of being in the world.
