THE VERSET AND FABORDÃO GENRES IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC MANUSCRIPT 242 FROM THE COIMBRA UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.

Este artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa exaustiva que tenho desenvolvido em torno do Manuscrito 242 da Biblioteca da Universidade de Coimbra (P-Cug MM 242). Este valioso manuscrito do século XVIdestaca-se pela importância crucial para o estudo da música instrumental em Portugal, no Renascimento tardio e nas primeiras décadas do século XVII. Neste manuscrito estão reproduzidos alguns dosprimeiros exemplos de tento e fantasia, como o atestam as obras para tecla de António Carrreira (c.1530c. 1594). Para além de um grande número de cópias de motetes, andamentos de Missa, canções emadrigais escritos por diversos compositores europeus de meados do século XVI, identificados einventariados por Owen Rees, este manuscrito inclui também diversas peças instrumentais de autoriadesconhecida, que ainda não receberam a atenção que merecem. Deste conjunto, seleccionei dois grupos de obras que reúnem pequenas peças instrumentais, as quais irei aprofundar neste artigo. O primeirogrupo, que representa o objecto central deste estudo, é constituído por um conjunto de obras para teclacom melodias em cantochão que proponho incluir nos géneros verso e/ou fabordão para órgão. Pretendodiscutir estas obras a partir das suas características formais, estilísticas e performativas, assim como a suainclusão nas práticas de alternatim instrumental no Mosteiro de Santa Cruz de Coimbra durante esse período.

SILVINO JACQUES OR CHRONIC HERO brigand BRAZIL-PARAGUAY AT THE BORDER

This work has as its main purpose to address the literary narrative Silvino Jacques: O último dos bandoleiros by Brígido Ibanhes, which shuffles literary genres, as a mixture of historical account and poetic and / or fictional prose.  The approach consists of the analysis of the stated and enunciation plans of the composition, understanding, therefore, the textual tessitura and the consequent reading of the theme according to protagonist narrator plot, Silvino Jacques, who is seen as a hero / anti-hero character of the Romanesque saga. For both, the methodological perspective seeks to elaborate a reflection subsidized in the field of comparative literature, particularly in theoretical and critical texts of historiography and literary, since search thus retrieve the literary and cultural trajectory of a subject with wide projection in Western literature, articulated to the regional interculturality of Brazil vs. Paraguay border in highlighted dialogue with different cultural places.  It is, ultimately, a construction of reading bolstered by the practice of Intertextuality, as the own corpus of analysis, comes from the dialogue with a previous text, Décimas Gaúchas, assigned to the "brigand" Silvino Jacques, and linked to the popular Songbook.

THE EXPRESSIVENESS ENUNCIATION OF THE ADJECTIVE IN TEXTUAL DISSERTATION-ARGUMENTATIVE GENRE

In this paper, are presented studies of the adjective and its enunciative expressivity in. According to the singular form that Callou and Serra (2003a, 2003b) describe the studies specifically stated on the adjective. This depends on the order which takes over the noun, may submit change of meaning in three ways: the first with the respect to the free position of the adjective with meaning change, the second with the mandatory position on the adjective, and, the third related to the free position of the adjective without a change of meaning. Demonstrating that not all cases can be checked diversity semantics and pragmatics of the adjective in the description. It is made a reflection about the use of enunciative expressions in the adjective use in discursive contexts in order to describe the assumptions of Sales (2006) on the influence of the genre in the order of the adjective to be relevant and, if applicable to this study.

LEITURA E RECEPÇÃO TEXTUAL NA SALA DE AULA NO CONTEXTO DA SOCIEDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA

A importância da prática da leitura para o desenvolvimento social, intelectual e sócio-político do leitor é assunto de muita relevância. No entanto, sabemos das limitações pelas quais passam alunos e professores no processo de ensino aprendizagem dessa prática. Este trabalho, objetiva conscientizar o professor da necessidade de proporcionar, desde as séries iniciais, no ambiente escolar, condições para práticas de leituras interativas, despertando o gosto do aluno pela leitura com intenção de formar leitores atuantes. Portanto, propomos um estudo sobre novas possibilidades de concepção de leitura. Além de exaltar a importância do professor leitor nesse processo. A abrangência e o aprofundamento deste estudo, ainda são limitados, porém bastante promissora.

Text, reader and author in editorial genre and reader comment from Folha de São Paulo

This article aimed to analyze the relationship among text, reader and author in the editorial genre and genre reader comments of Folha de São Paulo newspaper. Privilege as a theoretical and methodological input the contributions of Textual Linguistics (TL) in its current phase, especially those related to the fields of reading and writing, as they relate to the concepts of text, textuality and context. We tried to observe the thematic content of the selected genres holistically, in other words in their interrelationship. Thus, we asked how readers' comments posted on the Reader's Panel of  Folha de São Paulo contributes to establish a discussion about the role of the police, subordinating other social issues such as unemployment and legalization of unregulated trade and otherwise by mitigating the consequences by family victim's death. We note that the selection made by the newspaper to publish reader comments about the editorial, has scope for shifting the debate about minorities for the institutional framework with respect to the actions of the police in Brazil, considered truculent and unprepared.

ACROSS GENRES: JOHN DOS PASSOS’S BRAZIL ON THE MOVE

This article analyses how John Dos Passos’s Brazil on the Move (1963) exemplifies the conventions of travel writing, on the one hand, and how it departs from them, on the other, in its representation of a foreign country and of its culture. I intend to discuss the relevance of this combination of literary genres in this book, considering the writer’s background, his writing techniques and the ideology/ies underlying his work.

Discourse genres, dialogism and hybridism

Based on a(n) (in)transdisciplinary view, we aim at discussing the relationship between utterance and hybridism upon Bakhtin’s Circle perspective (BAKHTIN, 2003[1979]; 1998[1975]; 2008[1963]; BAKHTIN/VOLOCHÍNOV, 2006[1929]; MEDVIÉDEV, 2012[1928]), by objectiving to construct a comprehension concerning the hybrid genres, in special, to this present study, the hybrid genres from the journalism sphere. To do so, we follow an epistemological, theoretical and methodological way in accordance with Bakhtin’s Circle studies and we selected utterances from the talk show discourse genre. We believe that the study is relevant, because it doesn’t only confirm the importance to join dialogues between Applied Linguistics and Discourse Analysis, in terms of ratifying the permeability among the disciplinary boundaries in order to understand the social life (MOITA LOPES, 2006) but also it contributes to sediment plural views about discourse genres in bakhtinian analysis of discourse/utterance.

O GÊNERO POEMA: UM ESTUDO NA PERSPECTIVA BAKHTINIANA

This paper, linked to the Research Project “Linguistic Analysis Contextualized to Practices of Reading and Production of Texts” (UEL), seeks to disseminate a proposal of approaching the speech genre poem, in terms of scientific domain, in the light of bakhtinian concepts, involving vision of ideological sign, aesthetic communication, and speech genres and its dimensions: theme content – object of sense, evaluatively built; compositional structure – elements of structure and meaning; and style – manifestation of linguistic and expressive resources relatively stable of a genre, among others, mobilized by the enunciator (linguistic and enunciation marks). It considers all characteristics are indissolubly related to the context of production. Such a context stabilizes the use of the genre and holds it collectively as long as necessary, ie, society and discourse are organized in genres that, ultimately, are the realization of the living and can be materialized. More specifically, the paper analyzes, in the aspects above mentioned, the poema “O menino que carregava água na peneira”, by Manoel de Barros, in which the author-creator of the poem brings a very particular universe which marks the literary work: childhood, in a kind of craft with the word-image. The poet feels the child’s universe pulsing in his bowels and represents it. In this sense, the study discusses, in pedagogical field, the spread of such a speech genre. It evaluates, as a result, the getting through of the poem in the school  sphere – mainly via textbook. Finally, it points to the possibility of a new attitude regarding the teaching-learning process of the genre.

THE SCHOOL TEXTUAL PRODUCTION PROCESS MEDIATED BY LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS WITH FOCUS ON ARGUMENTATION

It is showed in this text, discussion about the textual (re)writing process in activity that was propitiated through the development of a research project applied in a public school of Parana state, whose goal was to develop the argumentative writing production at the 9th year students, of the basic education. The research project focused on the teaching of a scientific paper and the use of conjunctions as constituent elements of argumentation. It was applied strategies grounded on Argumentative Semantics which were concerned with the conjunctions use as argumentative elements and, for the expansion of ideas. After the produced material analysis, it was selected this work’s corpus, which is constituted of the last version of the written text by one student whose production was well qualified. It was verified that the textual genre suggested and the conjunctions usage as argumentation organizer element was considered by the student, at the writing activities. 

How does ‘Newstainment’ actually work? : ethnographic research methods and contemporary popular news

Much debate has taken place recently over the potential for entertainment genres and unorthodox forms of news to provide legitimate – indeed democratized – in-roads into the public sphere. Amidst these discussions, however, little thought has been paid to the audiences for programs of this sort, and (even when viewers are considered) the research can too easily treat audiences in homogenous terms and therefore replicate the very dichotomies these television shows directly challenge. This paper is a critical reflection on an audience study into the Australian morning “newstainment” program Sunrise. After examining the show and exploring how it is ‘used’ as a news source, this paper will promote the use of ethnographic study to better conceptualize how citizens integrate and connect the increasingly fragmented and multifarious forms of postmodern political communication available in their everyday lives.

Making Money from Monsters

It seems Australia is the place to be at the moment when it comes to making and creating horror films. Mark David Ryan explains how you can get involved in this boom industry. If you’re a writer with a passion for scary movies, a wordsmith who watches the occasional horror flick and writing your own has crossed your mind, or a writer who terrifies readers with an interest in screenwriting, then there has never been a better time to write Aussie horror flicks. This article introduces the horror genre’s core characteristics, issues to consider when crafting a horror flick, and provides tips for getting scripts into the hands of producers.

Sounds of the suburb

Sounds of the Suburb was a commissioned public art proposal based upon a brief set by Queensland Rail for the major redevelopment at their Brunswick Street Railway Station, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. I proposed a large scale, electronic artwork to be distributed across the glass fronted structure of their station’s new concourse building. It was designed as a network of LED based ‘tracking’ - along which would travel electronically animated, ‘trains’ of text synchronised to the actual train timetables. Each message packet moved endlessly through a complex spatial network of ‘tracks’ and ‘stations’ set both inside, outside and via the concourse. The design was underpinned by large scale image of sound waves etched onto the architecture’s glass and was accompanied by two inset monitors each presenting ghosted images of passenger movements within the concourse, time-delay recorded and then cross-combined in realtime to form new composites.----- Each moving, reprogrammable phrase was conceived as a ‘train of thought’ and ostensibly contained an idea or concept about popular cultures surrounding contemporary music – thereby meeting the brief that the work should speak to the diverse musical cultures central to Fortitude Valley’s image as an entertainment hub. These cultural ‘memes’, gathered from both passengers and the music press were situated alongside quotes from philosophies of networking, speed and digital ecologies. These texts would continually propagate, replicate and cross fertlise as they moved throughout the ‘network’, thereby writing a constantly evolving ‘textual soundcape’ of that place. This idea was further cemented through the pace, scale and rhythm of passenger movements continually recorded and re-presented on the smaller screens.

Six Curses

This creative writing work was selected for publication in a bi-lingual anthology, published in China, as suitable to be culturally applicable to both Chinese and Australian social contexts. The poem raises six social/ethical issues and comments on them. It is based on research into Chinese traditional poetry that focuses on an image, and after each image this poem provides an ethical comment. It is based in the ethical hypothesis that moral evaluation of individual and social behaviour can not be achieved without ethical judgement which questions social norms. In particular, the poem questions the validity of fundamentalism – the belief in religious, scientific and moral absolutes. This is a key issue in contemporary research into the effect of religion on politics. It also draws on contemporary psychological theory, especially the concept of narcissism. The sociological basis of the work is in drawing parallels between eastern and western ethical issues, stressing similarity by inference. The imagery on which the poem is based selects objects such a single ‘stone’ that take on symbolic connotations common to both Australian and Chinese readers. This is innovative, since very little creative writing has been dome to address commonalities between Australian and Chinese ethical thinking, especially by adopting Chinese motifs.

Show

Script for non-verbal performance. Research Component: Silent Treatment: Creating Non-verbal Performance Works for Children The research field of theatre for young people draws on theories of child development and popular culture. SHOW explored personal and social development, friendship and creative play through the lens of the experience of girls aged 8-12. This project consolidated and refined innovative approaches to creating non-verbal theatre performance, and addressed challenges inherent in the creation of a performance by adults for young audiences. A significant finding of the project was the unanticipated convergence of creative practice and research into child behaviour and development: the congruence of content (Female bullying) and theatrical form (non-verbal performance: “Within the hidden culture of aggression, girls fight with body language and relationships instead of fists and knives. In this world, friendship is a weapon, and the sting of a shout pales in comparison to a day of someone’s silence. There is no gesture more devastating than the back turning away Simmons, Rachel (2002:3) Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture Of Aggression In Girls Schwartz Books The creative development and drafting process focussed on negotiating the conceptual design and practical constraints of incorporating diegetic music and video sources into the narrative. The authorial (and production) challenges of creating a script that could facilitate the re-mount a non-verbal work for a company specialising in text-based theatre . Show was commissioned by the Queensland Theatre Company in 2003, toured into Queensland Schools by the Queensland Arts Council and in 2004 was performed at the Sydney Opera House.

Analyzing the prevalence of sports-related terms among the web sites of global corporations

This research investigates the prevalence of sports-related terms among the Web sites of the world’s leading companies, the Fortune Global 500. An automated process copied about four gigabytes of textual data, around 70 million words, from their sites. The subsequent analysis revealed regional and industry differences in the distribution of sports-related terms, the popularity of tennis stars and few references to sports stars, especially in Asia.
