O literário no livro didático: esse obscuro objeto de leitura

Na leitura escolar, o encontro entre o aluno e os textos literários é mediado pelos manuais didáticos. Ao serem adaptados para figurarem nos livros didáticos, os textos literários sofrem transformações para se tornarem úteis aos propósitos da Escola. Este artigo discute as principais estratégias discursivas utilizadas para transformar textos literários em didáticos, focalizando os efeitos de imitação, banalização e falsificação que impedem que as crianças-leitoras tenham acesso, na escola tradicional, à riqueza do texto literário. Palavras-chave: Literário; didático; intertextualidade; estratégias discursivas.

Em busca do estilo

O presente trabalho tenta encontrar, no meio das variadas e freqüentemente conflitantes noções fornecidas pelos tratados e manuais de estilística, um fundo comum que permita chegar a uma definição simples e operacional de estilo.

Iracema, de José de Alencar, e as Heroides, de Ovídio

Manuais de literatura ensinam que o Romantismo, centrado no eu romântico em seus conflitos e anseios libertários, rompe com os códigos clássicos da poética do Arcadismo. Em Iracema: a lenda do Ceará, Alencar narra a união da índia Iracema com Martim, o colonizador português que a fascina, e dessa união nasce Moacir, fruto da primeira miscigenação de povos em terras brasileiras. A matéria-prima que Alencar ficcionalizou tem, por um lado, o componente histórico, pois personagens como o guerreiro Martim e o índio Camarão estão registradas nos anais da história; por outro lado, a construção da heroína assenta-se em figuras femininas da mitologia grega. Essa dívida com a tradição clássica, intermediada pelo poeta latino Ovídio, o próprio José de Alencar a reconhece em carta-posfácio, onde confessa ter composto “uma heroida que tem por assunto as tradições dos indígenas brasileiros e seus costumes. (ALENCAR, 1978, p.88).

Cephalometric evaluation of the predictability of bimaxillary surgical-orthodontic treatment outcomes in long face pattern patients: a retrospective study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare by means of McNamara as well as Legan and Burstone's cephalometric analyses, both manual and digitized (by Dentofacial Planner Plus and Dolphin Image software) prediction tracings to post-surgical results. METHODS: Pre and post-surgical teleradiographs (6 months) of 25 long face patients subjected to combined orthognathic surgery were selected. Manual and computerized prediction tracings of each patient were performed and cephalometrically compared to post-surgical outcomes. This protocol was repeated in order to evaluate the method error and statistical evaluation was conducted by means of analysis of variance and Tukey's test. RESULTS: A higher frequency of cephalometric variables, which were not statistically different from the actual post-surgical results for the manual method, was observed. It was followed by DFPlus and Dolphin software; in which similar cephalometric values for most variables were observed. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the manual method seemed more reliable, although the predictability of the evaluated methods (computerized and manual) proved to be reasonably satisfactory and similar.

Avaliação sensorial de adolescentes com desenvolvimento normal na faixa etária de 11 a 18 anos

Tactile sensibility allows for adequate neuropsychomotor development. In addition, it enables the understanding of the subject’s own body, actions and explorations of objects, people and the environment. Previous studies have evaluated 3 to 10 year-old children. Herein, we evaluate the tactile sensibility in adolescents. The aim of this study was to verify whether the rapid growth of the body changes the normal pattern of tactile sensibility in adolescents. Furthermore, we provide evaluation material that is easy to use, simple, and secure to handle, designed to attend the specific age range studied. Thirty-two young participants between 11 and 18 years old, sixteen males and sixteen females, were evaluated. The adolescents go to public school and present normal development patterns. Graphesthesia, stereognosia, and Semmes-Weinstein monofilament tests were performed to evaluate the sensibility on the ventral and dorsal sides of the right and left hands. A questionnaire was used to identify the relevant activities performed with the hands during the studied period. The adolescents tested were collaborative during the research and presented curiosity regarding the boxes used in the experiment. Results indicated alterations in the tactile sensibility on the dorsal side of the hands from 13-year- old males. The major activities indicated by the adolescents were writing and sports for males and writing and cleaning for females. First evidences of possible changes in the normal tactile sensibility during adolescence were observed in this study.

O controle de preensão em pinça em adultos jovens: efeito da posição do punho

The human hand is the focus of inumerous research studies. Human individuals are capable of performing manual tasks beyond the ability of any other animal. Such large motor ability is due in part to contact surface of the pulp thumb in opposition to the other fingers. Evidences in the literature show that the position of the upper limb influences the ability of hand strength and control. Specifically, the position of the wrist has great influence on the production of pinch strength. The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of wrist position on the pinch grip with the thumb in opposition to the index finger. Participants of the present study were 21 undergraduate students, 10 men and 11 women. Participants performed a pinch grip task in three wrist positions - maximum flexion, maximum extension and neutral - on two force conditions - 20% and 40% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). MVC was measured in two attempts in each of the three positions of the wrist for a period of three seconds, and the trial of the best result was used as the parameter for task performance. In each trial participants maintained the force production at position for 10 seconds. All participants performed each test condition four times, and the first was used as a familiarization trial and discarded from further analysis. In all trials visual feedback online was provided. Results of both group gender showed variability was similar for force production. Men were stronger than women, but this difference was not significant and both produced on the average more strength in the neutral wrist position than in flexion or extension. In the extended position participants were significantly less variable than in the flexion and neutral positions. We obtained a significant positive correlation between weight and pinch force...(Complete abstracts click electronic access below)
