A partir de la reconstrucciónde dicho proceso de recepción, se matiza y complejiza la interpretacióncanónica de la necesaria exclusión e incompatibilidad entre lastradiciones gramsciana y althusseriana al interior de esta experiencia.

Cultural information gathering by Australian students in France

Interviews with Australian university students returning from study in France indicate that problems in accessing crucial information are common experiences, and frequently lead to students reproducing stereotypes of French administrative inefficiency. Our paper argues that the issue is not one of information per se but of cultural differences in the dissemination of information. It analyses the ways in which students interpret their information-gathering difficulties, and the appropriateness of the strategies they devise for overcoming them. It then examines the pedagogical implications for preparing students for study abroad, suggesting means of both equipping students with alternative ways of understanding 'information skills' and intervening in the perpetuation of stereotypes. Cet article se base sur une quarantaine d'interviews avec des étudiants australiens ayant effectué des séjours d'études en France. La difficulté d'accéder aux renseignements jugés indispensables revient souvent au cours des entretiens, source de frustrations qui amène les Australiens à reproduire un stéréotype de l'inefficacité française. Nous posons qu'il s'agit moins d'un manque d'informations que d'une différence culturelle dans la diffusion des renseignements. Notre analyse porte sur les façons dont les étudiants interprètent leurs difficultés, ainsi que sur l'utilité de leurs stratégies pour réunir les données souhaitées. Ce travail a des conséquences pédagogiques pour la préparation de tels séjours : nous suggérons des moyens de conduire les étudiants à concevoir autrement la recherche de l'information et leurs expériences, intervenant ainsi dans la transmission des stéréotypes.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum: Electronic discussion and foreign language learning

Amongst the opportunities for cross-cultural contact created by the burgeoning use of the Internet are those provided by electronic discussion lists. This study looks at what happens when language students venture out of the classroom (virtual or otherwise) to participate in on-line discussion groups with native speakers. Responses to messages and commentary by moderators and other participants on the (in) appropriateness of contributions allow us to determine what constitutes successful participation and to make suggestions regarding effective teaching strategies for this medium. A case study examines the threads started by four anglophone students of French when they post messages to a forum on the Web site of the French newspaper Le Monde. Investigation of these examples points to the ways in which electronic discussion inflects and is inflected by cultural and generic expectations. We suggest that successful participation on Internet fora depends on awareness of such cultural and generic mores and an ability to work within and/or with them. Teachers therefore need to find ways in which students can be sensitized to such issues so that their participation in such electronic discussion is no longer seen as linguistic training, but as engagement with a cultural practice.

ZEUS VERSUS PROMETEU: O embate discursivo nos artigos opinativos favoráveis e contrários à pesquisa com células-tronco embrionárias

A partir da perspectiva da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, este trabalho analisa os discursos especializados (científico, religioso, jurídico, jornalístico, político) presentes em artigos na mídia massiva sobre a cobertura da Lei de Biossegurança, sobretudo a partir do ajuizamento da ADI Nº 3510, pelo ex-procurador geral da República, Claudio Fontelles. Os dados são artigos opinativos publicados nos jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Estado de S. Paulo, no primeiro semestre de 2005, bem como os documentos-fonte do Magistério Católico citados (Evangelium Vitae; Declaração sobre a Produção e o Uso Científico e Terapêutico das Células Estaminais Embrionárias Humanas; e a Instrução Donum Vitae,). Pretende-se verificar o modus operandi da linguagem nestes discursos, sobretudo os aspectos ideológicos de sua construção como elementos persuasivos. Os resultados da pesquisa permitem concluir a presença de elementos dogmáticos nestes discursos, alinhados com o posicionamento ideológico dos grupos aos quais pertencem os articulistas, bem como a presença de elementos mítico-filosófico-religiosos, conforme a noção de Discurso Fundador, de Eni Orlandi.(AU)
