Veja: ideologia e argumentatividade em revista

Tendo como objeto de análise capas da revista Veja, esta tese pretende verificar, por meio da observação analítica desses arranjos sígnicos, em sua materialidade textual bem como nos diálogos que estabelecem com o mundo, as suas tendências ideológicas e as marcas de sua argumentatividade constitutiva, de modo a tornar relativo o conceito de texto de informação que costuma recobrir o objeto em análise. Fazem parte do percurso teórico da pesquisa estudos e reflexões sobre: noções de textualidade e de gênero textual; teoria da argumentação; interferência de elementos exteriores ao texto para a produção do sentido; teoria semiótica de base peirceana; estratégias e mecanismos presentes nas representações discursivas feitas pela mídia. Colocam-se, dessa forma, os estudos da língua e das linguagens como instrumentos capazes de, pelas vias da ciência, fazer ver os encaminhamentos argumentativos propostos nesses textos. São, portanto, considerados e analisados os elementos que, prestando-se à representação do real, imprimem ao/no texto marcas do(s) sujeito(s) sociohistórico(s) que, conforme as lições bakhtinianas, nele se presentifica(m) e, através dele, atua(m) intersubjetivamente

The presence of the Aragonese language in the magazine "El Ebro" (1917-1936)

El Ebro (1917-1936) was a magazine published in Barcelona by Aragonese emigrants at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the first experience of coexistence of different dialectal varieties of the Aragonese language in the same media. El Ebro was an experience that has gone virtually unnoticed in the recent history of one of the most minority languages, and with minor media presence, of Western Europe. In its pages El Ebro mixed dialects spoken in different regions of linguistic Aragonese area together with transcripts of medieval documents. At the same time, this newspaper raised debates about the language issue that they were truncated due to disappearance of the publication and the lack of theoretical realization

Through the lens of the hospital magazine - Downshire and Holywell psychiatric hospitals in the 1960s and 1970s

An exploration of the pages of two psychiatric hospital magazines, Speedwell from Holywell Hospital, Antrim, and The Sketch from Downshire Hospital, Downpatrick, reveals the activity filled lives of patients and staff during the 1960s and 1970s. This was a time of great change in mental health care. It was also a time of political turbulence in Northern Ireland. With large in-patient populations, both hospitals had a range of occupational and sporting activities available to patients and staff. The magazines formed part of the effort to promote the ethos of a therapeutic community. While hospital magazines may be viewed as one aspect of an institutional system that allowed people to cut themselves from the wider society, they also provided opportunities for budding writers to express their views on life in a hospital from the service user perspective. As such they offer some valuable insights into the lives of psychiatric patients.

Romanticism and Blackwood's Magazine:'An Unprecedented Phenomenon'

Romanticism and Blackwood's Magazine is inspired by the ongoing critical fascination with Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, and the burgeoning recognition of its centrality to the Romantic age. Though the magazine itself was published continuously for well over a century and a half, this volume concentrates specifically on those years when William Blackwood was at the helm, beginning with his founding of the magazine in 1817 and closing with his death in 1834. These were the years when, as Samuel Taylor Coleridge put it in 1832, Blackwood's reigned as 'an unprecedented Phenomenon in the world of letters.' The magazine placed itself at the centre of the emerging mass media, commented decisively on all the major political and cultural issues that shaped the Romantic movement, and published some of the leading writers of the day, including Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey, John Galt, Felicia Hemans, James Hogg, Walter Scott, and Mary Shelley.

'This much-needed volume reminds us not only why Blackwood's was the most influential periodical publication of the time, but also how its writers, writings, and critical agendas continue to shape so many of the scholarly concerns of Romantic studies in the twenty-first century.' - Charles Mahoney, Associate Professor, University of Connecticut, USA
