Can the dead speak? appropriation and rewriting of the canon in Angela Carters Nights at the circus and in Margaret Atwoods The Penelopiad

Esta dissertação visa estudar como autoras pós-modernas se apropriam e reescrevem textos canônicos em uma tentativa de trazer à tona e desconstruir as metanarrativas patriarcais, que informam tais textos. Tal objetivo pretende ser alcançado através de um estudo sobre a formação do cânone literário, dos conceitos de mito e principalmente das estratégias narrativas utilizadas por essas autoras em seu processo criativo. Para tal, um estudo sobre intertextualidade, a paródia e a intertextualidade paródica é levado a cabo nesta dissertação. Dois romances figuram como objeto de investigação neste trabalho. O romance Nights at the Circus, da escritora inglesa Angela Carter, é o primeiro a ser analisado. Nesse romance, as estratégias de apagamento das fronteiras entre os gêneros e a intertextualidade paródica entre textos e mitos clássicos como formas de apropriação e subversão do cânone, são privilegiadas. O outro romance que se faz presente nesta dissertação é a obra da autora canadense Margaret Atwood intitulada The Penelopiad. Nesse romance, personagens que antes eram marginalizados ou não tinham voz figuram como personagens principais, como é o caso de Penélope e de suas doze criadas. Esta dissertação visa, assim, mostrar como essas apropriações de textos canônicos exercem um papel fundamental no questionamento da artificialidade de discursos que são naturalizados e dos valores propagados pelos mesmos

A review of IATTC research on the early life history and reproductive biology of scombrids conducted at the Achotines Laboratory from 1985 to 2005

English: For nearly a century, fisheries scientists have studied marine fish stocks in an effort to understand how the abundances of fish populations are determined. During the early lives of marine fishes, survival is variable, and the numbers of individuals surviving to transitional stages or recruitment are difficult to predict. The egg, larval, and juvenile stages of marine fishes are characterized by high rates of mortality and growth. Most marine fishes, particularly pelagic species, are highly fecund, produce small eggs and larvae, and feed and grow in complex aquatic ecosystems. The identification of environmental or biological factors that are most important in controlling survival during the early life stages of marine fishes is a potentially powerful tool in stock assessment. Because vital rates (mortality and growth) during the early life stages of marine fishes are high and variable, small changes in those rates can have profound effects on the properties of survivors and recruitment potential (Houde 1989). Understanding and predicting the factors that most strongly influence pre-recruit survival are key goals of fisheries research programs. Spanish: Desde hace casi un siglo, los científicos pesqueros han estudiado las poblaciones de peces marinos en un intento por entender cómo se determina la abundancia de las mismas. Durante la vida temprana de los peces marinos, la supervivencia es variable, y el número de individuos que sobrevive hasta las etapas transicionales o el reclutamiento es difícil de predecir. Las etapas de huevo, larval, y juvenil de los peces marinos son caracterizadas por tasas altas de mortalidad y crecimiento. La mayoría de los peces marinos, particularmente las especies pelágicas, son muy fecundos, producen huevos y larvas pequeños, y se alimentan y crecen en ecosistemas acuáticos complejos. La identificación los factores ambientales o biológicos más importantes en el control de la supervivencia durante las etapas tempranas de vida de los peces marinos es una herramienta potencialmente potente en la evaluación de las poblaciones. Ya que las tasas vitales (mortalidad y crecimiento) durante las etapas tempranas de vida de los peces marinos son altas y variables, cambios pequeños en esas tasas pueden ejercer efectos importantes sobre las propiedades de los supervivientes y el potencial de reclutamiento (Houde 1989). Comprender y predecir los factores que más afectan la supervivencia antes del reclutamiento son objetivos clave de los programas de investigación pesquera.

Estimativa da captura total de peixe e camarão das pescarias de emalhe e de arrasto da Baía de Maputo, em 1985

The most important fisheries of Maputo Bay (Mozambique) are the gill netting of the Hilsa kelee and the trawling of the shrimps Penaeus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros . Data of capture and yields are presented and the number of artisanal fishing boats and semi-industrial fishing vessels is given.

Programa de pesca experimental de atum com vara e isca viva. Moçambique - 1982/1985

An account is given of activities undertaken during the project, which was concerned with the development of tuna fisheries using rod and live bait, in Mozambique. Major tuna species present in the area are described, and fishing gear and methods used outlined, detailing also catch composition and live bait utilized.

Stations cotières et station Vridi: exploitation des données des années 1984 et 1985

Along the Ivorian seaboard we have seven (7) stations where sea water temperature is measured every morning between 7:30 and 8:00. The hydrologic station of Vridi located at point A (5°05N, 4°05W) is generally exploited twice a week. In this report we are going to deal with data collected in 1984 and 1985. The irregularity of the dynamic height at point A enables us to identify water masses that go over the continental plateau.

Synthèse des travaux effectués au CRO sur les végétations envahissantes flottantes (1985-1990). Propositions et recommandations

The present document represents a synthesis of the scientific knowledge gathered by the CRO in the years 1985-1990, and related to the proliferation of aquatic macrophytes, commonly called floating aquatic weeds, in the Ebrié lagoon.
