Violências por professores/as contra seus/as alunos/as

Este estudo investiga atos agressivos manifestados pelos/as professores/as contra seus/as alunos/as em sala de aula. Para tanto, recorremos às contribuições da literatura brasileira acerca da violência escolar, produzida na última década e publicada na Base Scielo e utilizamos como fonte 32 histórias de escolarização narradas por alunas que, em 2004, cursaram a disciplina Didática II do curso de Pedagogia oferecido pela Faculdade de Ciências e Letras – campus de Araraquara – Unesp. Os resultados da literatura indicaram que professores/as também são protagonistas de violências contra seus/as alunos/as e que, em geral, estes/as profissionais estão despreparados para combater o fenômeno. As análises das histórias mostraram que os/as professores/as dos diferentes níveis de ensino praticam atos agressivos contra seus/as alunos/as, físicos e verbais, predominando os verbais. Faz-se urgente conhecer essa problemática para que possamos pensar em alternativas futuras, tendo em vista o cumprimento do ECA que visa, sobretudo, assegurar os direitos fundamentais.

Antonio Candido, leitor de poesia

Este artigo objetiva, a partir de estudos de Antonio Candido voltados para a poesia lírica, rastrear o pensamento estético e crítico-teórico do autor sobre a matéria, bem como avaliar sua prática analítica do texto poético. Tal prática, coerente com o postulado na vasta obra do autor, ancora-se em dois eixos principais: o “árcade/ romântico” (voltado para o período formativo da literatura brasileira) e o “modernista” (que enfatiza a consolidação plena de nossa literatura).

O poético alinhave de Murilo Mendes: o poeta, a musa e a metapoesia em As Metamorfoses

Lying under the contribution of a display of characteristics with multiple meanings (Catholicism, Surrealism, unite of contraries, and the dialogue with other types of art), Murilo Mendes focalizes some subjects that are made to become appealing in his works. Some of these subjects appear in his 1945’s poetry book, As metamorfoses, the object of analysis in this present work: the poet’s figure, insert in the historical view of the World War II and by the poet devastated; the muse’s figure, carrier of the sacred and the profane, whose body represents a repository of descriptions with surrealistic meanings, that is shown indistinctly as the poetry itself; and, concluding, the poetry (or the metapoetry) expressed in this context (historical and literary). Therefore, we intend to search, based in the analysis of poems, how each of this instances are configured inside the poetic universe of Murilo Mendes, with the intention of enlighten the constitution of the sewing made of them by the poet from Juiz de Fora; instances that are very precious when we deal with the poetry that gives to his writings the patent feature of modernity.

Sobre O tronco, romance de Bernardo Élis

The conception of O tronco was influenced by Hegel´s ideas. The genesis of this novel is in Bernardo Élis’ purpose of writing a monograph on land ownership conflicts in Goiás, later transformed into a new project, the novel O tronco. The same ideological position of the author gives the argumentative direction of the novel; his ideological background determines the choice of the theme, associated with images expanded by the procedures of argumentation that permeate the literary discourse. Thus, in face of the undeniable aesthetic value of Élis´work, we analyzed O tronco, specifically the argumentation that guides the literary narrative, enhanced by the artistic treatment of violence, its theme, as the result of the struggle for power. The novel was published in 1956; the author, heir to the literary regionalism of the 30s, through an artistic and calculated combination of the story of a local government and literature, accuses, judges the exacerbated domination of a particular social group in a region in Goiás.

Os mortos de sobrecasaca e a formação do cânone literário nacional

Álvaro Lins (1912-1970), was an important literary critic of brazilian modernism that marked the twentieth century by the great influence of his writings. In 1963, he published Os Mortos de Sobrecasaca: obras, autores e problemas de literatura brasileira. Ensaios e estudos 1940-1960, that brings in the subtitle his concerns in building a balance on the modernist legacy to literature and culture in Brazil. This work makes possible a schematic view of the evolutionary process of literary production, because it indicates an exam about the twenty years of ripening of modernist proposals from a reflection that is organized as a history of Brazilian literature based on leading writers of the national literary canon.

The symbology of the sea in Lygia Bojunga Nunes's work: a reflection on utopian and dystopian framing

The ambivalent image of the sea is recurrent in Bojunga Nunes’s work. It receives a lot of symbolic meanings in her production, being sometimes a positive and sometimes a negative element. Thus, the sea is used in a utopic way, as a place for pleasure and leisure, and in a dystopic way, as scenery of a rite of passage, which includes the pain and suffering, part of the rite of passage that characterizes the bildungsromans. So, if in some texts the sea assumes a utopic character, being a place of snuggle, security, the ideal to reach, in others it is represented as dystopic, a place of distress, asphyxia and death. In this text we will study the hypothesis that, even in its dark symbolic meaning, in the author’s work the sea is an element of reflection and revelation. Thereby, it assumes metaphorically a sense of magnification of the reader’s expectative, being an element of emancipation. The objective of this text is to present a reflection on the sea’s symbolism on the mentioned texts and its importance for the reader’s formation.
