Intertextualidade e interdiscursividade no ensino fundamental: uma perspectiva dialógica para o livro didático de português

O estudo ora desenvolvido parte do pressuposto segundo o qual o texto é entendido como o lugar de constituição e de interação de sujeitos sociais, como um evento no qual convergem ações linguísticas, cognitivas e sociais, segundo uma concepção dialógica do texto (BAKHTIN, 1992). Nos dias atuais, os livros didáticos continuam, em muitas das salas de aula brasileiras, a ditar os procedimentos de ensino (MESERANI, 2001 e MARCUSCHI apud DIONÍSIO; BEZERRA, 2005) e entende-se que a articulação das atividades de trabalho com textos, encontradas em tais materiais para o Ensino Fundamental (EF), a recursos como a intertextualidade e a interdiscursividade, importantes para a construção da textualidade e para a produção de sentidos, configura-se como um tema de pesquisa relevante. Assim, nessa investigação analisam-se a) as instruções metodológicas presentes no Manual do Professor e b) as atividades de produção e recepção textual retiradas de duas coleções de livro didático de Ensino Fundamental (6 ao 9 anos). Tal investigação prioriza o aspecto qualitativo, a natureza analítico-descritiva e o caráter interpretativista de pesquisa e visa a trazer novas referências para pesquisas em Língua Portuguesa no nível estudado, estabelecendo um diálogo com as práticas de ensino de leitura e escrita na escola, além de permitir uma análise crítica da forma como o livro didático é utilizado em sala. A análise apoia-se, principalmente, na Semiolinguística, uma vertente da Análise de Discurso Francesa (ADF), que constitui um olhar sobre o discurso, entendido como um processo interativo em uma determinada situação, resultante de um contrato (CHARAUDEAU, 2008) atribuído por um determinado grupo social, em uma dada situação sociointerativa. Considerando-se a análise dos LDP, observa-se a pouca ênfase que os autores dão ao papel da intertextualidade como recurso coesivo, tendo em vista a coerência textual, e como modo de manifestação da argumentatividade inerente a qualquer texto; da mesma forma, em relação à interdiscursividade, ressalta-se a falta de menção aos pressupostos discursivos e aos outros índices de polifonia, assim como à ironia, nas atividades de leitura e de produção escrita

Rice field fisheries: a resource for Cambodia

Small-scale fisheries in and around rice fields in the lowland areas of Cambodia are greatly underestimated and undervalued. Their contribution to the protein requirements of the poor rural households is significant. In Svay Rieng province, they could provide 65-75% of the animal protein requirements of these households. The value could well be around 40% of the value of rice production. It is, therefore, important that these natural stocks and the fisheries are managed well and that developmental activities explicitly consider their impact on these fisheries.

Traditional institutions and their role in the contemporary coastal resource management in the Pacific Islands

A discussion is presented on the role played by customary marine tenure (CMT) institutions in the regulation of fisheries in the Pacific Ocean Islands. Particular reference is made to the system in operation in Marovo Lagoon, in the Solomon Islands, whereby a number of defined clans control resource use within defined areas of land and sea. It is believed that such systems have considerable capacity for handling and adapting to new circumstances, thereby becoming potentially important tools in the contemporary management of fisheries and of the coastal zone in general.

Economic incentives for water resource management in the Pak Phanang river basin of southern Thailand

The study examines the existing water allocation methods and other policies that provide constraints or incentives for the most efficient use of water resources. Given the production condition of the local people, and the technical and physical attributes of water resources, the principal hypothesis of this study is that the benefits obtained from fresh water resources in the study area can be improved through better resource management.

Mangrove rehabilitation and coastal resource management: a case study of Cogtong Bay, Philippines

The Cogtong Bay experience represents a bold attempt to pursue a shared responsibility between the government and local residents for rehabilitating coastal resources. Some of the factors that provided the impetus to co-management arrangements were the recognition of resource management problems, dependence on coastal resources for livelihood and the desire for more sustainable resource use. This paper draws attention to the importance of legitimate user/property rights, vigilant law enforcement efforts, common commitment among stakeholders and continuing support from local leadership in viable co-management arrangements.

A new approach for analyzing and comparing coastal resource systems

ICLARM has recently developed a strategic Plan for International research on living aquatic resources management which identifies tropical coastal resource systems as one of its areas of research emphasis. Details are given of a new approach for analysing and comparing coastal resource systems - the coastal cross-section concept. Agroecosystems analysis and farming systems research were used as a basis for the development of this concept.

Impact evaluation of community-based coastal resource management projects in the Philippines

The benefits of decentralizing the management of coastal resources to local governments and resource users have long been recognized, but the best systems for coastal resources management depend on many factors. A number of community-based management and co-management projects were started in the Philippines in the early 1980s. This report describes a comparative assessment of these projects to determine where improvements can be made in the design of future community-based coastal resource management projects. Early and continuing involvement by project beneficiaries is one of the factors that contributes to the success of the project development, implementation, and evaluation.

The eggs of marine crabs - an unexploited resource

Marine crabs belonging to the family Portunidae form bycatch of shrimp trawlers in India. They are sold at low prices and consumers discard eggs and consume the meat. The paper details the nutritional value of eggs of Portunus pelagicus.
