Interação de crenças em contexto colaborativo virtual de aprendizagem de línguas

This article mainly aims at addressing issues of the complexity and dynamics of beliefs in collaborative contexts for language teaching and learning, such as Teletandem. On the assumption that beliefs are dynamic and can be (re)signified, we present some of the results of a research about the interaction of beliefs of two Teletandem partners, a Brazilian and an Italian undergraduate student, addressing moments of convergence and divergence, as well as their possible origins and (re)significations from lived experiences. The results show how the Teletandem context can become a field for conflicts and clashes of beliefs and how the mediation as well as the relationship between the participants becomes essential for the conduction of language learning in collaborative environments.

Calciphylaxis: a rare but potentially fatal event of chronic kidney disease. Case report

Calciphylaxis or calcific uremic arteriolopathy is a rare cutaneous-systemic disease occurring in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. The classical clinical picture is that of a necrotic and progressive skin ulcer of reticular pattern, mostly in the lower legs and susceptible to local infection. It is a product of mural calcification and occlusion of cutaneous and sub-cutaneous arteries and arterioles. The authors report the case of a 73-year-old male patient in his late stage of renal disease presenting severe necrotic cutaneous ulcers on lower legs followed by local and systemic infection and death due to sepse after parathyroidectomy.

A representação da natureza no romance francês do século XIX

Busca-se determinar as características da representação da natureza no romance francês do século XIX, analisando-se Paul et Virginie de Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, Les travailleurs de la mer de Victor Hugo e L’Ève future de Villiers de l’Isle-Adam, por meio da teoria sócio-crítica e do embate com o texto. Na primeira parte, faz-se um retrospecto da representação nas artes e na literatura, destacando-se as concepções de Aristóteles e as do Romantismo. Apresenta-se também um panorama das concepções da natureza no tempo e no espaço e reflete-se sobre as relações do homem com o mundo natural, bem como sobre as teorias a elas referentes no âmbito da história, da pintura e da literatura. Na segunda parte, analisam-se os três romances escolhidos, buscando-se neles os modos e os sentidos da representação literária da natureza. Conclui-se pela existência, nas três obras estudadas, de uma atitude ambígua do homem diante da natureza, que havia sido anteriormente detectada na história. Embora diferenciadas entre si, sob alguns aspectos, as representações da natureza no corpus estudado demonstram o registro, no universo literário, de marcas do contexto histórico, político e social em que os três romances foram escritos, publicados e usufruidos.

Estudo das construções verbais paratáticas em italiano

The present study aims at the occurrence of a particular type of construction in Italian language, namely the paratactic verbal constructions (henceforth, PVCs), previously named by Rodrigues (2006) as “foi fez constructions” (FFCs). The present study is part of the research project “Gramaticalização de construções em línguas românicas: um estudo comparativo” (2011a), supervised by Professor Dr Angélica Terezinha Carmo Rodrigues, developed in this University. The constructions analized here, accordingly to Rodrigues (2006), are described as a sequence of two or more inflected verbs, connected or not by the conjunction and, such as: “eu fui (e) comprei um carro”, “ele pegou (e) falou”, in Brazilian Portuguese (PB), and “se ne va e piange”, “prendo e me ne vado”, in Italian. The hypothesis sustained here, based on Rodrigues’ project (2011a), is that these constructions are grammaticalized out of coordinated constructions. Herein, the objectives of this research are: (a) present a description and an analysis of the PVCs in Italian (b) compare the constructions in Portuguese and in Italian; and (c) present empirical arguments on the hypothesys that the PVCs derive from coordinate constructions. Besides being part of the research project previously mentioned, we choose to work with the PVCs because of their recurrence in the Romanic languages. Furthermore, the studies related to this type of construction in the Italian language are scarce and these constructions consist as an aspect of the Italian grammar hardly studied. This research is based upon a functional approach of the grammar, seeking for a dialogue with the studies... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Retratos da Espanha em Os fantasmas de Goya

1792, Madri. After years of inactivity, the Spanish Inquisition is born again with the mission of containing the laic winds that blow from the revolutionary France. Inês Bilbatúa, a rich merchant’s daugther, is victim of the inquisitorial machinery which tortures and violates her, through one of their abetters, the Dominican monk Lorenzo. Before being arrested, the young lady had served as model for the painter Francisco of Goya, who had also portrayed the monk Lorenzo. The Aragonese painter’s figure serves as narrative conductor of a history that narrates the young Inês’ via crucis and, at the same time, it recreates the historical scenery of the Napoleonic invasion (1808), through a basic element, the painting. Our work intends to analyze the relationships among movie, painting and history present in “Goya’s ghosts” (2006), of the Czech director Milos Forman (1932) - whose script was adapted to a homonymous book in 2007 -, a movie that is based on the artistic production of Francisco of Goya y Lucientes (1746 -1828), official painter of Carlos’ IV (1788 -1808) court and the most lucid columnist of his time, that knew how to capture in his works the religious fanaticism, the populist fervour, the governor’s hypocrisy and the horror and the violence of the war.

Estética em revolução

The difficulty lies in dealing with the texts of Almada Negreiros focuses on language, search for expression. Saramago, in his texts of various kinds, "Manual of Painting and Calligraphy" and "The world's largest flower," suffers by seeking representative languages. Which one is less difficult, less traumatic, painting or writing? In conclusion, the two are so much paint as painful to write. Compare them to the knife ripping a sheet of paper. Almada entangled in them all as a poet, novelist, painter, designer, playwright. Through them, we sought from "Before You Begin" to "Getting Started", always be in alpha. The text that follows is entitled Aesthetics in Revolution, it may cover the surrounding poetic Alma.

América latina transterritorial: percursos em fronteiras fluidas

Contemporary artists have proposed repositioning of the view as a psicogeographics, routes of drifts, affectives maps, subverting the physical, historical, political and social places in the global mapping. The Chilean artist Eugenio Dittborn with their "Airmail Paintings" that design, sewing, painting and collage are folded and placed in an envelope and sent by post. At your destination, the paint is removed from the envelope, unfolded and hung leaving the marks of the route traveled. The Argentine artist Alicia Herrero in his work "The trip Revoluvionário - title inspired by the trip that Ernesto Guevara held in South America, traveled by navigable rivers of South America and composed the work in the form of a" novel navigated "where each chapter is a port route. As the river of Heraclitus, the writing of "novel navigated" composes processes transposing borders.

Mona Lisa: sentidos múltiplos de um sorriso enigmático

This article reviews the history of the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, the Mona Lisa or Gioconda, sixteenth century, aiming to discuss about some of the multiple senses (or discourses) around its meaning, with the support of the French branch of the Discourse Analysis, especially based on concepts developed by D. Maingueneau. As it is characteristic of the work of art, the senses are open, which does not exclude the possibility of detachment, among which we accentuated the "Mona Lisa smile" as one of the main traits of the authorship by Leonardo Da Vinci and, simultaneously, a trait propitious to aphorisation. Thus, the work of art is releasing of the exclusive authorship of Da Vinci and it suscitates several rereadings, which help composing a discursive ethos around this consecrated painting and, at the same time, which make circulating distinct stereotypes.
