O gênero militar parte: aplicações para o ensino acadêmico de língua portuguesa

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar o gênero textual parte e suas implicações para o ensino. Para isso, fizemos uma descrição do gênero, tendo por base a perspectiva de Mikhail Bakhtin de análise do discurso em um diálogo com a perspectiva de análise do discurso de Patrick Charaudeau. A parte segundo as Instruções Gerais para a Correspondência, as Publicações e os Atos Administrativos no âmbito do Exército (IG 10-42), é a correspondência que tramita no âmbito de uma OM, por meio da qual o militar se comunica com um de seus pares ou superior hierárquico, em objeto de serviço, podendo ser utilizado suporte eletrônico (...), ou ser substituída por mensagem eletrônica, sempre que houver meios físicos adequados. (BRASIL, 2002, p. 18). Portanto, ele é um documento oficial de circulação interna que exige uma linguagem formal para relatar, solicitar ou informar algo a alguma autoridade, dentre outras possibilidades, ou seja, o propósito comunicativo da parte, de maneira genérica, é relatar uma ocorrência, solicitar algum direito, informar dados necessários para a confecção de algum outro documento etc. Por estar inserido no domínio discursivo militar, em que as formas padronizadas orientam a produção dos gêneros que neles estão circunscritos, deve seguir regras para a sua escrita. Por essa razão, o ensino da parte está presente no currículo da Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras, que forma o oficial combatente de carreira do Exército Brasileiro em bacharel em Ciências Militares. Dessa forma, apresentamos neste trabalho uma proposta para o ensino do gênero, tendo como aporte teórico as sequências didáticas postuladas pela Escola de Genebra. Apesar de essa Escola trazer uma proposta didática para o ensino de gêneros no ensino fundamental, observamos que a teoria é adequada ao ensino de um gênero em qualquer nível de escolaridade àquele que está sendo inserido em um domínio discursivo

US imperialism in action: An audit-based appraisal of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq

This paper drawing from audit reports reflects upon the post-Iraq war administration the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). It argues that the CPA’s compliance with basic levels of decent public administration were akin to Guantanamo’s compliance with basic levels of natural justice. The audit reports demonstrate that the CPA was a chaotic administration which spent billions without proper controls or procedures and left precious Iraqi oil revenues open to fraudulent acts. The CPA failed to comply with its obligations under UN resolutions. It identifies the geopolitical/economic implications of the US government which was partly motivated by economic concerns but it was also motivated by political concerns—the imposition of US hegemony. It then turns to the broader economic imperatives of the falling rate of profit and the imposition of neoliberalism (market fundamentalism).

Wirtschaft an der Grenze. Studien zum Wirtschaftsleben in römischen Militärlagern im Norden Britanniens

Die wichtigsten Quellen für die Erforschung des Wirtschaftsleben in den Militärlagern im Norden Britanniens sind die im Kastell Vindolanda gefundenen Holztäfelchen mit Texten aus dem Lageralltag von ca. 90-120 n. Chr. sowie die archäologischen Funde aus der Region. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund dieser Quellenlage wurde der Betrachtungszeitraum auf die Zeit von Agricola bis Hadrianus begrenzt. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß das Wirtschaftsleben in den römischen Militärlagern im Norden Britanniens dieser Epoche einerseits bürokratische Züge trägt, da Führungspersonen in Militär und Verwaltung im Rahmen redistributiver Strukturen viele Güter beschafften, die an die Soldaten gegen Abzüge vom Sold ausgegeben wurden. Andererseits stand diesem Verfahren eine beeindruckende Dynamik im Marktgeschehen gegenüber, die durch die Erfordernisse der Heeresversorgung und des individuellen Konsums der Soldaten entstand. Zu den Bereichen der Wirtschaftstätigkeit, in denen ein starker Einfluß der Bürokratie herrschte, zählten insbesondere die Versorgung mit den Grundnahrungsmitteln (v. a. Getreide, Bier). Hypothesen über ein militärisches Redistributivsystem für Olivenöl unter der Ägide des praefectus annonae wurden allerdings nicht bestätigt. Die Existenz einer zentralen Behörde für die Heeresversorgung im Reich für die Principatszeit nicht nachgewiesen werden. Es zeigte sich statt dessen eine in der Forschung bisher nicht so deutlich gesehene Verantwortung und Aktivität unterer militärischer Entscheidungsträger vor Ort. Die Märkte an der britannischen Grenze bieten eine sehr viel differenzierteres Bild als man es von Handelsplätzen am äußersten Rande der romanisierten Welt vielleicht erwartet hätte. Vor allem zeichneten sie sich durch ein breites Angebot an Waren aus, die über große Entfernungen heran transportiert worden waren (Wein, Oliven, mediterrane Fischcaucen, Pfeffer, Importkeramik). Im Bereich des Handwerks sind im Norden Britanniens durch archäologische Funde und die Tätigkeitsbezeichnungen von Handwerkern in den Texten aus Vindolanda vielfältige Zeugnisse eines Engagements der Militärs präsent.

Of Law, Lawlessness, and Sovereignty : Multinational Peacekeeping and International Law

Laws of war have been carefully defined by individual nations’ own codes of law as well as by supranational bodies. Yet the international scene has seen an increasing movement away from traditionally declared war toward multinational peacekeeping missions geared at containing local conflicts when perceived as potential threats to their respective regions’ political stability. While individual nations’ laws governing warfare presuppose national sovereignty, the multinational nature of peacekeeping scenarios can blur the lines of command structures, soldiers’ national loyalties, occupational jurisdiction, and raise profound questions as to which countries’ moral sense/governmental system is to be the one upheld. Historically increasingly complex international relations have driven increasingly detailed internationally drafted guidelines for countries’ interactions while at war, yet there are operational, legislative, and moral issues arising in multinational peacekeeping situations which these laws do not address at all. The author analyzes three unique peacekeeping operations in light of these legislative voids and suggests systematic points to consider to the end of protecting the peacekeepers, the national interests of the countries involved, operational matters, and clearly delineating both the objective and logical boundaries of a given multinational peacekeeping mission.
