Tumblrs fotográficos como lugares de memória: a profanação do acontecimento e a lógica de arquivo

From the assumption that digital photography not only opened new photographic practices, but also formulated new forms of image appropriations, including how photos are linked to our collective memory, this paper aims to study the Tumblrs pages that use historic photographs in its compositions. From the notion that the archives are an opening to the public space and a place of symbolic assignment, we will discuss the notion that the function of these photographs suffers a displacement that gives priority to the file itself as an object of interest over the event alluded. In other words, it is the file that becomes the object of the representation of a place of memory.

Descrever o passado para prever o futuro: sobre os usos da história no jornalismo para o delineamento de prognósticos

Once the use of historical data serves as an articulator of senses in journalistic narratives, this article proposes to study the cases in which the discursive constructions of the future are structured from the evocation of the past. It is possible to discern how images of the future built on stories parting from the past is related to a specific conception of history and how this history is seen, by journalism, as a repository of examples enrolled in a temporal continuum and fixed as a judging instance able to measure and anticipate the future consequences.

Il teatro e Derek Walcott. Prospettive postcoloniali e multiculturali

This thesis explores the function of the theatre in Derek Walcott's literary achievements. Focusing on the semiotic theories that characterize the study of drama as a literary text and as a staged text, the initial approach aims at creating a relationship between semiotics and postcolonial theories. In particular Pavis's concept of intercultural semiotics and Peter Brook's innovative visions about the regenerative function of the space of the theatre represent a useful theoretical basis to consider the specificity of postcolonial theatre as an innovative space, where new cultural meanings emerge. Derek Walcott's dramatic production is studied according to this approach, in order to be defined as a new hybrid, syncretic and multicultural space. After considering the development of drama from a postcolonial and Caribbean perspective, this study begins with an insight into Walcott's views on theatre, taking into consideration his linguistic depth, linked to the European tradition, but also his strong concern with the Caribbean public's cultural needs. The double tension characterizing Walcott's cultural identity as well as his art represents an essential element to analyse his dramatic texts. With an ambivalent approach, which takes into consideration language and performance, this thesis offers an insight into Walcott's plays to detect their postcolonial and multicultural elements. The analysis of the different texts are divided into two chapters (third and fourth). The third chapters - mainly focused on postcolonial themes - explores issues such as language, identity and space, whereas the fourth chapter centers on multiculturalism in text and performance. Dealing with interracial interactions, issues like re-writing classical texts and the manipulation of personal and collective memory as a way to re- establish new historical perspectives, the last part of the thesis aims at demonstrating the idea that Walcott has created a new space in the theatre made by the harmonic fusion of different and opposed cultural elements, which are visible in the literary as well as in the staged text. The textual perspective of Walcott's drama fits into Pavis's definition of intercultural semiotics, as the faithful representation of a multicultural creole society: that of the West Indies.

Dalla "postmémoire" alla scrittura dell'oblio nell'opera di Sylvie Germain

La tesi intitolata "Dalla «postmémoire» alla scrittura dell’oblio nell’opera di Sylvie Germain" si pone l’obbiettivo di analizzare l’opera della scrittrice francese contemporanea Sylvie Germain alla luce di alcune elaborazioni teoriche sulla dialettica memoria/oblio. Basandoci sulle principali teorie-guida relative alla «memoria culturale» teorizzate da Maurice Halbwachs,Pierre Nora,Tzvetan Todorov,Paul Ricoeur e Aleida Assmann,la nostra analisi si è successivamente concentrata sugli studi condotti attorno al concetto di «postmemory» elaborato dalla studiosa americana Marianne Hirsch. Scopo di questa prospettiva critica è quello di leggere l'opera germainiana come espressione di una «affiliative postmemory», risultato della connessione generazionale di coloro che non hanno vissuto direttamente un trauma con la «literal second generation». Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare che ha coinvolto gli studi sulla memoria culturale in rapporto alla questione del gender, si è inoltre evidenziata la specificità del ruolo rivestito dai personaggi femminili nei romanzi di Germain che assumono un peso determinante nella trasmissione della memoria individuale e collettiva, studio che ci ha permesso di sottolineare la funzione attiva svolta dalle protagoniste delle opere della scrittrice. Nella fase conclusiva sono state esaminate le opere più recenti di Sylvie Germain pubblicate tra il 2008 e il 2011 in cui l’autrice sembra avvertire la necessità di controbilanciare il peso della «troppa memoria» con una giusta dose di oblio. Sono state inoltre affrontate la questione della responsabilità etica e l’idea di debito nei confronti della memoria familiare e collettiva: la scrittura stessa diventa così per Germain lo strumento attraverso il quale l’autrice assume il ruolo di passeuse de mémoire per le generazioni future.

Inimmaginabile e progetto. Architettura e memoria nei luoghi della Deportazione

La memoria pubblica della Sho'ah è inscritta in una quantità proliferante di immagini e spazi memoriali. Ciò è riscontrabile in modo particolare nei principali "siti dello sterminio" assurti a simbolo nel corso degli anni, mentre molti altri "luoghi di memoria" della Deportazione soffrono di una condizione di intrinseca debolezza. Essa è riconducibile in primo luogo alla fragilità del dato materiale, i cui resti ormai privi di eloquenza risultano difficili da interpretare e conservare, in secondo luogo alla sovrapposizione di memorie concorrenti venutesi a determinare in conseguenza dei riusi successivi a cui queste strutture sono spesso andate soggette dopo la guerra, infine alla difficoltà di rendere espressione compiuta alla tragedia della Deportazione. Il caso del campo di Fossoli è paradigmatico: esso interroga la capacità del progetto di "dare forma" al palinsesto delle memorie, rendendo possibile il riconoscimento ed esplicitando una significazione delle tracce, senza aggiungere ulteriori interpretazioni. Lo spazio e il paesaggio, in quanto linguaggi indentitari, possono offrirsi come strumenti da questo punto di vista. Michel De Certeau vi fa riferimento quando afferma che lo spazio coincide con «l’effetto prodotto dalle operazioni che lo orientano, che lo circostanziano, o temporalizzano e lo fanno funzionare come unità polivalente di programmi conflittuali o di prossimità contrattuali». Lo spazio gioca un ruolo cruciale nel conformare l'esperienza del presente e allo stesso tempo nel rendere visibili le esperienze passate, compresse nella memoria collettiva. Lo scopo di questa ricerca è interrogare le potenzialità spaziali del luogo, considerate sotto il profilo culturale e semantico, come valida alternativa alla forma-monumento nella costruzione di una o più narrazioni pertinenti della memoria.

Preparing writing centers and tutors for literacy mediation for working class campus-staff

Writing centers work with writers; traditionally services have been focused on undergraduates taking composition classes. More recently, centers have started to attract a wider client base including: students taking labs that require writing; graduate students; and ESL students learning the conventions of U.S. communication. There are very few centers, however, which identify themselves as open to working with all members of the campus-community. Michigan Technological University has one such center. In the Michigan Tech writing center, doors are open to “all students, faculty and staff.” While graduate students, post docs, and professors preparing articles for publication have used the center, for the first time in the collective memory of the center UAW staff members requested center appointments in the summer of 2008. These working class employees were in the process of filling out a work related document, the UAW Position Audit, an approximately seven-page form. This form was their one avenue for requesting a review of the job they were doing; the review was the first step in requesting a raise in job level and pay. This study grew out of the realization that implicit literacy expectations between working class United Auto Workers (UAW) staff and professional class staff were complicating the filling out and filing of the position audit form. Professional class supervisors had designed the form as a measure of fairness, in that each UAW employee on campus was responding to the same set of questions about their work. However, the implicit literacy expectations of supervisors were different from those of many of the employees who were to fill out the form. As a result, questions that were meant to be straightforward to answer were in the eyes of the employees filling out the form, complex. Before coming to the writing center UAW staff had spent months writing out responses to the form; they expressed concerns that their responses still would not meet audience expectations. These writers recognized that they did not yet know exactly what the audience was expecting. The results of this study include a framework for planning writing center sessions that facilitate the acquisition of literacy practices which are new to the user. One important realization from this dissertation is that the social nature of literacy must be kept in the forefront when both planning sessions and when educating tutors to lead these sessions. Literacy scholars such as James Paul Gee, Brian Street, and Shirley Brice Heath are used to show that a person can only know those literacy practices that they have previously acquired. In order to acquire new literacy practices, a person must have social opportunities for hands-on practice and mentoring from someone with experience. The writing center can adapt theory and practices from this dissertation that will facilitate sessions for a range of writers wishing to learn “new” literacy practices. This study also calls for specific changes to writing center tutor education.

Kollektive Erinnerung. Topographie und Topik in Walthers ›Palästinalied‹

The French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs (1877–1945) conceived re- membrance as a product of ›collective memory‹ and explained this idea in his book on ›La Topographie légendaire des Évangiles en Terre sainte‹ (1941) showing that the topography of the Holy Land was predominantly an imaginary landscape construed by Christian communities. Following this concept, this article studies the ›Palästinalied‹, a text describing the arrival of a pilgrim in the Holy Land in the time of the crusades, abundantly transmitted under the name of Walther von der Vogelweide. The high degree of textual variance in the diverse manuscripts testifies the acting of ›collective memory‹ in the medieval poetic tradition. Of special interest in this context are the strophic arrangements, the variation of deictic markers, the reworking of melodic models documented in the manuscript transmission and the diatopic opposition existing between the emphasis of ›distant love‹ expressed in Jaufré Rudel’s Occitan song ›Lanqand li jorn son lonc en mai‹ (one of the named models) and the attitude of proximity prevailing in the ›Palästinalied‹.

Identidad personal y memoria colectiva en Martín Fierro de José Hernández

A pesar de ser una obra muy comentada, Martín Fierro de José Hernández permite siempre nuevas lecturas. En este caso, se examinan algunos aspectos de la estructura semántica del Martín Fierro, a fin de demostrar que, en este texto, se superponen dos actos de habla -el del protagonista y el del poeta-, disímiles en cuanto a la intencionalidad - defensa de la identidad personal en el primero; incorporación del tema gaucho en la memoria colectiva argentina, en el segundo- pero coincidentes en relación con el núcleo semántico constitucional del poema: la isotopía de lo legal.

Géneros discursivos de la memoria en clave literaria : los días iniciales de Joselín Cerda Rodríguez

Siendo el de las memorias un género legendario, hay que reconocer que su producción y posterior estudio ha cobrado particular auge en las últimas tres décadas. Si bien en el panorama sobre la escritura literaria en Catamarca, se conocen trabajos sobre las posibilidades de este género, están acotados a la poesía o a un texto como Niñez en Catamarca de Gustavo Gabriel Levene. Un aspecto probablemente distintivo de esta comunicación sea el corpus literario constituido por los relatos que integran Los días iniciales (1993) de Joselín Cerda Rodríguez, un escritor cuya obra constituye un caso infrecuente, por su autoafirmación étnica y por la textualización del yo en la reconstrucción de la memoria personal y colectiva. Interesa indagar: cómo el discurso construye las representaciones de la memoria personal; cuáles son las huellas del enunciador y cuáles las relaciones entre el yo autorial y el yo narrador en los enunciados narrativos; cuáles son las diferentes modalidades discursivas del género que exhibe la construcción de los textos. En relación con este último aspecto, importa considerar el plan de escritura de los relatos y la intercalación de recuerdos de infancia y de juventud, retratos físicos y morales, descripción de caracteres, evocación subjetiva y narración propiamente dicha. El abordaje previsto se encuadra en el marco teórico y metodológico provisto por el Análisis del Discurso (AD) y, en particular, sigue las propuestas de la Teoría de la Enunciación, la Lingüística del Texto y la Teoría Literaria, a partir de compatibilidades conceptuales que posibilitan integrar las distintas perspectivas teóricas. A través de este primer acercamiento al universo literario de Joselín Cerda Rodríguez se espera poder demostrar que la recuperación y preservación de la memoria personal, como colectiva constituye un punto de apoyo determinante en la plasmación de una cosmovisión singular e infrecuente.

¿Por qué marchar el 24 de marzo? : juventud, memoria y participación política en Mendoza

La movilización del 24 de marzo, aniversario del último golpe de Estado en la Argentina, ha adquirido enorme relevancia política a lo largo del tiempo. Este espacio de participación y acción conjunta, resulta un ámbito pertinente para indagar la elaboración de una memoria colectiva sobre el pasado reciente y su impacto en las primeras generaciones de jóvenes que no vivieron la época de la dictadura en forma directa. La caracterización sobre el pasado, conlleva visiones sobre el presente y condiciona modos de intervención en la realidad social. El trabajo que se presenta, fue realizado en base a estrategias cualitativas de investigación social, a partir de entrevistas y observaciones en la provincia de Mendoza.
