O ensino : aprendizagem da produção textual : um estudo a partir de textos produzidos por alunos do ensino fundamental

RESUMO : Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da produção textual em relação a competência comunicativa escrita do aluno, identificando as características e verificando se as propostas teóricas sobre produção textual foram implementadas em sala de aula, de forma a possibilitar o aprendizado da escrita de maneira motivadora, preparando-o para realizar tarefas sobre distintos componentes da competência comunicativa em nível de palavra, frase e texto. Foi realizado um estudo quantitativo-qualitativo e para a coleta de dados, aplicamos um questionário, e logo em seguida damos início as atividades de produção textual com temas indicados tanto pela professora-investigadora como pelos próprios alunos os quais serviram de base para a análise temática. Esta análise foi feita levando em consideração as condições de produção propostas por Geraldi, a perspectiva interacionista da linguagem Bakhtiniana e a teoria sociointeracionista de Vigotsky. Seguimos também os caminhos da Análise do Discurso de Orlandi. A sequência de textos foi de gêneros diferenciados, porém aplicada a todas as turmas. ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze the process of teaching and learning of text production in relation to communicative competence student writing, identifying the characteristics and verifying the theoretical proposals on textual production have been implemented in the classroom, to enable the learning of written in a way motivating, and thus prepare them to perform tasks on different components of communicative competence of a word, phrase or text. We conducted a quantitative and qualitative study and exploratory. To collect data, a questionnaire was administered, and then the activities of writing (narration, description and essay) with themes identified by both the teacher-researcher as the students themselves, which served as the basis for thematic analysis.The analysis was made taking into consideration the production conditions proposed by Geraldi. We adopt the interactionist perspective of language Bakhtiniana and the theory of Vygotsky sociointeractionist. The following texts were of different genres, but applied to all classes.

Honorarios [adaptaciones y refundiciones en De la Cuadra y Aguilera-Malta] (Dossier: Cuatro narradores del 30, relecturas en su centenario)

Se contrasta Honorarios, obra dramática de Aguilera-Malta, y «Honorarios», el cuento de José de la Cuadra que la inspiró. El diálogo entre los dos autores fue explícito en diversos textos, así como en sus respectivos mundos literarios: nombres de personajes, motivos, leyendas, mitos, formas, ideología y demandas, actitudes e intereses. De la Cuadra dialogó a su vez con otros creadores. «Honorarios», e.g., recrea y reinterpreta la figura del mítico fetiche Moloch, según lo representan Metrópolis, del cineasta Fritz Lang, y Salambó, de Gustave Flaubert, la narración aludida es también una refundición en torno al tema del poder omnipresente y cruel, que requiere insaciablemente de víctimas propiciatorias. De igual manera, en su proceso creativo y de búsqueda expresiva, Aguilera-Malta acostumbró remozar y reformular temas en diferentes géneros literarios –como el de la lucha del ser humano frente a las fuerzas hostiles de la naturaleza y la sociedad, interpretado en La isla virgen, El tigre y Jaguar–. En Honorarios, Aguilera-Malta se concentró en hallar la manera de transferir la trama del relato «Honorarios» al género dramático. El resultado es una eficaz refundición, en términos de la perspectiva histórico-política y de reflexiones sobre la función de la literatura.

El tío tarambana está de cumpleaños (José Lezama Lima en su centenario) [Homenaje]

El escritor cubano le rinde tributo a su compatriota, José Lezama Lima, a propósito de celebrarse en 2010 el centenario de su natalicio, a través de este texto en el que da cuenta de lo que fue su descubrimiento, en determinado momento, de la obra del autor de Paradiso, luego, su deslumbramiento al lograr penetrar, desde un ejercicio intenso de estudio y desciframiento, los códigos esquivos que circulan por la poesía lezamiana, al igual que la riqueza simbólica que expresa su narrativa, y lo desconcertante que resultan sus ensayos. La lectura de Curbelo es una celebración de todo lo que es el universo literario de Lezama dentro de esa continua deconstrucción de los géneros. Como bien señala Curbelo, su persistente y siempre experimental acercamiento a la obra del autor habanero, es resultado de quien se sabe “un lezamiano, no un lezamista, y ese matiz entraña su riesgo”.

Multi-modal fingerprinting for multimedia assets: optimisation of media security protection in online distribution environments

Since the advent of the internet in every day life in the 1990s, the barriers to producing, distributing and consuming multimedia data such as videos, music, ebooks, etc. have steadily been lowered for most computer users so that almost everyone with internet access can join the online communities who both produce, consume and of course also share media artefacts. Along with this trend, the violation of personal data privacy and copyright has increased with illegal file sharing being rampant across many online communities particularly for certain music genres and amongst the younger age groups. This has had a devastating effect on the traditional media distribution market; in most cases leaving the distribution companies and the content owner with huge financial losses. To prove that a copyright violation has occurred one can deploy fingerprinting mechanisms to uniquely identify the property. However this is currently based on only uni-modal approaches. In this paper we describe some of the design challenges and architectural approaches to multi-modal fingerprinting currently being examined for evaluation studies within a PhD research programme on optimisation of multi-modal fingerprinting architectures. Accordingly we outline the available modalities that are being integrated through this research programme which aims to establish the optimal architecture for multi-modal media security protection over the internet as the online distribution environment for both legal and illegal distribution of media products.

Patterns of text layout in Pompeian verse inscriptions

This article explores patterns of formal text layout of the metrical graffiti of Pompeii. After a brief discussion of the importance of formal text layout for linguistic research in general (and its relevance for poetic texts), a representative sample of poetic graffiti is discussed and analysed in detail. It is argued, then, that nature of the surface and sentence structure in particular can take precedence over the ‘default solution’ (coincidence of verse and line structures).

Strengthening argumentation in medical explanations by text planning revision

Explanations are an important by-product of medical decisionsupport activities, as they have proved to favour compliance and correct treatment performance. To achieve this purpose, these texts should have a strong argumentation content and should adapt to emotional, as well as to rational attitudes of the Addressee. This paper describes how Rhetorical Sentence Planning can contribute to this aim: the rulebased plan discourse revision is introduced between Text Planning and Linguistic Realization, and exploits knowledge about the user personality and emotions and about the potential impact of domain items on user compliance and memory recall. The proposed approach originates from analytical and empirical evaluation studies of computer generated explanation texts in the domain of drug prescription. This work was partially supported by a British-Italian Collaboration in Research and Higher Education Project, which involved the Universities of Reading and of Bari, in 1996.

Beyond Belief: Harry Potter in text and film

Despite the fact that the Harry Potter books have won a place in the cultural consciousness and have had enjoyed immense commercial success, they were not accepted within many faith groups at the outset. Using the term ‘religion’ to refers to any system of belief that may be recognised by symbols , I look extracts from three of the novels, alongside their subsequent cinematic adaptations, in order to consider the construction of representations of religion in the films and the contribution made by the films to this debate.

Domesticating the calendar: the hours and the almanac in Tudor England

This article examines two genres of text which were extremely popular in the late-medieval and early modern periods, and it pays particular attention to women users. The printed almanacs of sixteenth-century England were enormously influential; yet their contents are so formulaic and repetitive as to appear almost empty of valuable information. Their most striking feature is their astrological guidance for the reader, and this has led to them being considered 'merely' the repository of popular superstition. Only in the last decade have themes of gender and medicine been given serious consideration in relation to almanacs; but this work has focused on the seventeenth century. This chapter centres on a detailed analysis of sixteenth-century English almanacs, and the various kinds of scientific and household guidance they offered to women readers. Both compilers and users needed to chart a safe course through the religious and scientific battles of the time; and the complexities involved are demonstrated by considering the almanacs in relation to competing sources of guidance. These latter are Books of Hours and 'scientific' works such as medical calendars compiled by Oxford scholars in the late middle ages. A key feature of this chapter is that it gives practical interpretations of this complex information, for the guidance of modern readers unfamiliar with astrology.
