Ce ne sont que des corps ; suivi de L'idéal de l'androgynie dans le réservoir des sens de Nelly Kaplan

Ce mémoire en recherche-création explore l’hybridation identitaire et le désir d’échapper aux attentes normatives. Dans le récit Ce ne sont que des corps, deux étrangers attendent le train en se racontant, en alternance, les événements qui ont marqué les derniers mois de leur vie. Emmanuel, âgé de vingt-cinq ans, s’éprend de Michelle, une femme de tête quinquagénaire rencontrée dans un bar. Cette femme rêve de réaliser certains fantasmes et Emmanuel accepte de se plier au jeu jusqu’à ce que les choses s’enveniment. Quant à Alex, jeune femme dans la vingtaine, elle quitte son village natal pour étudier à Montréal et succombe au charme de Gabriel, un aspirant musicien pour qui elle est prête à tout abandonner. Chacun des personnages de ce roman brouille les identités sexuées et sexuelles. Pour ce qui est de l’essai, il explore la manière dont Nelly Kaplan manipule le sexe et le gender de ses protagonistes pour postuler une « poétique de l’androgynie » dans certaines nouvelles du recueil Le réservoir des sens. L’essai mobilise les ressources des études consacrées à l’ironie, à la poétique surréaliste, au gender ainsi qu’à l’intertextualité pour mettre en évidence la façon dont l’auteure brouille les identités sexuées et sexuelles.

O poder simbólico dos manuais escolares de língua portuguesa: revelação e ocultação

RESUMO: Este estudo tem como propósito compreender as ideologias, os valores, as representações sociais e os estereótipos difundidos pelos manuais escolares de Língua Portuguesa. Para atingirmos esta finalidade procedemos, inicialmente, à definição do corpus e, em seguida, à análise de conteúdo dos textos de sete manuais, do 7º ano de escolaridade, ainda em vigor. A análise dos mesmos foi realizada a partir de oito categorias que estabelecemos após uma leitura flutuante: família, religião, educação, amor, amizade, ética ambiental, poder e sonho. Os dados recolhidos foram trabalhados quantitativa e qualitativamente de acordo com a metodologia proposta por Lawrence Bardin (1997). Os manuais escolares estudados evidenciaram-se detentores de paradigmas ideológicos repressivos e homogéneos assim como reprodutores de valores tradicionalistas implícitos que visam a consubstanciação de uma mundividência ocidental que luta pela inalterabilidade das relações de género, dos valores morais, éticos e religiosos que prevalecem na sociedade e servem os desígnios da classe dominante. Confidentes de um poder simbólico que os caracteriza os manuais escolares visam a conservação das relações sociais e a sua unificação, ignorando a diversidade cultural, o multiculturalismo e as relações interculturais inerentes ao mundo social. ABSTRACT: This study aims to understand the ideologies, values, social representations and stereotypes disseminated by the Portuguese language textbooks. To achieve this purpose we began by defining the corpus and then we analyzed the content of seven 7th grade textbooks still in use. The analysis was done in eight categories established from an initial reading: family, religion, education, love, friendship, environmental ethics, power and dream. The data collected was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively according to the methodology proposed by Lawrence Bardin (1997). The textbooks studied contained repressive and homogeneous ideological paradigms, as well as traditionalist implicit breeding values which pursue the implementation of a Western worldview that struggles to maintain both gender relations and moral, ethical and religious values that prevail in society and serve the ambitions of the ruling class. Confident of a symbolic power that characterize school textbooks, they aim to preserve social relationships and their unification, ignoring cultural diversity, multiculturalism and the intercultural relations that exist in the social world.

Conhecei o Brasil, crianças: representações do território brasileiro na Primeira República

Esta pesquisa está voltada para as representações do território brasileiro que circularam em vários suportes durante o período da Primeira República. Analisando três compêndios de Geografia, os programas da disciplina localizados no Colégio Pedro II e o semanário infantil O Tico – Tico, o texto tanto problematiza a articulação entre o pensamento social e o imaginário voltado para o homem do interior do país quanto evidencia os sinais de uma valorização da natureza calcada no pensamento iluminista, a qual funcionou como arma de combate às teorias que estigmatizavam o Brasil devido aos seus caracteres naturais e raciais.

Reproducible Research: A Bioinformatics Case Study

While scientific research and the methodologies involved have gone through substantial technological evolution the technology involved in the publication of the results of these endeavors has remained relatively stagnant. Publication is largely done in the same manner today as it was fifty years ago. Many journals have adopted electronic formats, however, their orientation and style is little different from a printed document. The documents tend to be static and take little advantage of computational resources that might be available. Recent work, Gentleman and Temple Lang (2004), suggests a methodology and basic infrastructure that can be used to publish documents in a substantially different way. Their approach is suitable for the publication of papers whose message relies on computation. Stated quite simply, Gentleman and Temple Lang propose a paradigm where documents are mixtures of code and text. Such documents may be self-contained or they may be a component of a compendium which provides the infrastructure needed to provide access to data and supporting software. These documents, or compendiums, can be processed in a number of different ways. One transformation will be to replace the code with its output -- thereby providing the familiar, but limited, static document. In this paper we apply these concepts to a seminal paper in bioinformatics, namely The Molecular Classification of Cancer, Golub et al. (1999). The authors of that paper have generously provided data and other information that have allowed us to largely reproduce their results. Rather than reproduce this paper exactly we demonstrate that such a reproduction is possible and instead concentrate on demonstrating the usefulness of the compendium concept itself.

‘I can use things, but I can't make anything’: a qualitative exploration of team networks in the development and implementation of a new undergraduate e-compendium

In higher education, undergraduate teaching materials are increasingly becoming available online. There is a need to understand the complex processes that happen during their production and how social networks between different groups impact on their development. This paper draws on qualitative interviews and participant drawings of their social networks to understand the dynamics of creating a new e-compendium for a four-year online undergraduate nursing programme in Norway. Twenty staff interviews were undertaken to explore views of the e-compendium, the development process and the perceived networks that were formed during this course. Interview data were thematically analysed along with networks drawings. The findings showed three main institutional stakeholder groups emerging: the ‘management team’, ‘design team’ and ‘lecturers’. Analysis of social networks revealed variability of relations both within and between groups. The pedagogical designer, who was part of the design team, was central to communicating with and co-ordinating staff at all levels. The least well connected were the lecturers. To them, the e-compendium challenged and even threatened previously well-established notions of pedagogy. Future development of e-compendiums should account for the perceived lack of time and existing workload of lecturers so they may be involved with the development process.
