As contribuições do dialogismo de bakhtin e do signo em umberto eco para o ensino de língua estrangeira

This article discusses the dialogism in Mikhail Bakhtin and the grounds of the linguistic sign in Umberto Eco, with the intention to use the themes and authors, to support the teaching-learning methodologies of foreign language (English and Spanish) at the public school of São Paulo state. The conceptual approach of the two authors allows us to infer that learning a foreign language is effected by the appropriation of utterances and cultural knowledge, pedagogical concept that confronts the traditional method used in the São Paulo school, which is based mainly on grammar teaching and lexicons. The paper derives the theoretical research used to support a dissertation, posing and evaluates preliminary, the integration of traditional theaters in foreign language in public schools, with digital environments (in online courses), and also the educational effects -the use of audiovisual material at the classroom and online learning.

Umberta Eco "dzieło otwarte" a Biblia

In this study the author presents the concept of the Umberto Eco’s model of "open work". The question is: if this model can be applied to Bible. Umberto Eco argued that literary texts have many fields of meaning, that they are understood as open, internally dynamic and psychologically engaged fields. We can say the same about Bible. The model of "open works" is very useful in the research of relation between Bible and a reader of Saint text. The model of "open works" does not include verification function of the community and Tradition.

Fiction as a form of change : a paper overview of a literature panel discussion

It is well established that literary work can promote insights that result in future change, whether on a personal or an institutional level. As Umberto Eco (1989) notes, the act of reading does not stop with the artist but continues into the work of communities. The papers delivered in this panel consider the regenerative role of literature within culture, arguing that the special properties of literature can convey an important sense of nature (Bateson 1973, Zapf 2008). These concepts are discussed in relation to writing about Australian flora and fauna. Using an ecocritical focus based on ideas about the relationship between literature and the environment the paper considers Australian works and the way in which literature enlivens this complex intersection between humans, animals and the environment. This engagement is investigated through three modes: the philosophical, the literary, and the practical. The novels discussed include Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria, Richard Flanagan’s Wanting, and Sonya Hartnett’s Forest, as well as a range of fictional and non-fictional works that describe the Blue Mountains region in New South Wales. The paper closes with a discussion of the role of story-telling as a way of introducing the public to specific environmental locations and issues.

From Iron Horse to Rauta-airot - a Semiotic View on the Domestication of Metaphors in Literary Translation

The thesis concentrates on two questions: the translation of metaphors in literary texts, and the use of semiotic models and tools in translation studies. The aim of the thesis is to present a semiotic, text based model designed to ease the translation of metaphors and to analyze translated metaphors. In the translation of metaphors I will concentrate on the central problem of metaphor translations: in addition to its denotation and connotation, a single metaphor may contain numerous culture or genre specific meanings. How can a translator ensure the translation of all meanings relevant to the text as a whole? I will approach the question from two directions. Umberto Eco's holistic text analysis model provides an opportunity to concentrate on the problematic nature of metaphor translation from the level of a text as a specific entity, while George Lakoff's and Mark Johnson's metaphor research makes it possible to approach the question from the level of individual metaphors. On the semiotic side, the model utilizes Eero Tarasti's existential semiotics supported by Algirdas Greimas' actant model and Yuri Lotman's theory of cultural semiotics. In the model introduced in the thesis, individual texts are deconstructed through Eco's model into elements. The textual roles and features of these elements are distilled further through Tarasti's model into their coexistent meaning levels. The priorization and analysis of these meaning levels provide an opportunity to consider the contents and significance of specific metaphors in relation to the needs of the text as a whole. As example texts, I will use Motörhead's hard rock classic Iron Horse/Born to Lose and its translation into Rauta-airot by Viikate. I will use the introduced model to analyze the metaphors in the source and target texts, and to consider the transfer of culture specific elements between the languages and cultural borders. In addition, I will use the analysis process to examine the validity of the model introduced in the thesis.

Étude de la représentation du curé dans deux films québécois La petite Aurore l'enfant martyre (1952) et Aurore (2005)

Ce mémoire porte sur la représentation du curé dans les films La petite Aurore l'enfant martyre (Jean-Yves Bigras, 1952) et Aurore (Luc Dionne, 2005). L'objectif principal est d'identifier l'image que l'on présente du curé dans ces deux oeuvres. L'étude de cette représentation permet de cerner les discours portés par ces deux films à travers le personnage du curé et d'apprécier dans quelle mesure ces discours filmiques témoignent du caractère de la société québécoise à deux époques déterminées, soit les années 1950 et les années 2000. Inscrite dans le champ des études culturelles, la recherche se fonde sur quatre axes théoriques principaux : la représentation, l'interprétation, la mythologie et l'analyse filmique. Les travaux de Stuart Hall, d'Umberto Eco et de Roland Barthes constituent le cadre théorique. L'approche de l'analyse de contenu s'inspire des travaux de Laurence Bardin et l'analyse filmique, de ceux de Jean Mitry, d'Anne Goliot-Lété et de Francis Vanoye, entre autres. La procédure de recherche consiste dans le découpage des éléments constitutifs de chaque film en plans, séquences et extraits, de manière à déconstruire les récits filmiques et à faire émerger les facteurs signifiants susceptibles de permettre de reconstituer le sens à travers la reconstruction du rôle du curé et la caractérisation du personnage dans chacun des films. La démarche d'interprétation s'appuie sur une série de thèmes sous lesquels se classent, en opposition souvent, les attributs des deux personnages, comme l'apparence générale, l'intégration au milieu, l'intellectualité, la figure d'autorité, le conformisme et la responsabilité. L'hypothèse principale formulée dans le cadre de la problématique se trouve validée. La représentation du curé dans le film de 1952 offre une image idéalisée du « bon curé », laquelle est conforme au discours dominant de son époque de production. Dans le film de 2005, on délaisse plutôt l'image idéalisée pour revêtir le curé d'attributs négatifs et le rendre responsable, en grande partie, du drame vécu par Aurore. De plus, les trois hypothèses secondaires ont pu aussi être validées : la représentation du curé en 2005 est liée à une plus grande sensibilité au phénomène de la maltraitance des enfants et au besoin d'en identifier les responsables; le transfert de responsabilité vers le curé semble le reflet de reproches adressés par la société québécoise au clergé pour des fautes du passé et la représentation péjorative du curé de 2005, où l'on insiste sur son caractère froid et distant, ne choque plus personne. Porteuse de plusieurs mythes, dont certains rejoignent les fondements de l'identité québécoise, l'histoire d'Aurore fait partie intégrante du patrimoine culturel. Les relectures de cette triste affaire au fil des ans traduisent aussi les changements qui marquent la société québécoise, en particulier dans son rapport au clergé et à la religion.

Homer and the New Testament as "Multitexts" in the Digital Age ?

The field of classical studies has undergone a radical transformation with the arrival of the digital age, particularly with regard to the editing of ancient texts. As Umberto Eco (2003) pointed out, the digital age may mean the end of the history of variants and of the notion of the "original text." Among the texts of antiquity, the editing of Homer and of the New Testament are more especially susceptible to the effects of digital technology because of their numerous manuscripts. Whereas the "Homer Multitext" project recognizes that the notion of a synthetic critical edition is now seriously brought into question, the prototype of the online Greek New Testament continues to be based on the aim of obtaining a unique text, in the style of a printed critical edition. As it moves from a printed culture to the digital age, the editing of the Greek NT is also confronted by the emergence of non-Western scholarship. For example, the presence is to be noted of Arabic Muslim websites that examine Greek New Testament manuscripts but without directly interacting with Western scholarship.

El texto como pre-texto : propuestas de escritura para el aula.

Se pretende contribuir a incentivar la producción escrita en la escuela. Para ello, se elabora un breve marco teórico centrado en el concepto de intertextualidad (desde el punto de vista de Gerard Genette) y en el de obra abierta (Umberto Eco), y se presentan varias propuestas prácticas que pueden adaptarse a distintos grupos.

Novas perspectivas sobre a canção de embalar portuguesa : transcrição e análise. 'Nuevas perspectivas sobre la canción de cuna portuguesa : transcripción y análisis'.

Crear una clasificación ordenada de las canciones de cuna portuguesa, según unos determinados parámetros establecidos por los investigadores, independientemente de su origen geográfico, contenido literario, sistema utilizado en la música, origen popular o autor. La metodología utilizada en el diseño del trabajo, se centra en los métodos y técnicas descritas, en particular, por Umberto Eco, Anthony E. Kemp, entre otros. Dada la cantidad de material existente y disperso, se establece un proceso de recopilación, análisis de datos y de la información esencial para el ejercicio de su estudio. Partiendo de las reglas, los métodos y técnicas, se inicia la metodología de la técnica de la pirámide invertida. El desarrollo de la investigación se centra en las siguientes fuentes: la revista Lusitana, el cancionero popular de Resende, y diversos cancioneros generales. Las canciones de cuna, tienen cierta libertad de interpretación. Por ello, con los datos analizados, se observa que no se busca un modelo específico de canción de cuna. Sino que, se trata de obtener puntos característicos, cuya melodía y ritmos de intensidad se caracterizan principalmente por la repetición, apropiada, para crear un ambiente facilitador de sueño. Son melodías de construcción melódica, rítmica y literaria muy simple, constituyendo pequeños dibujos que van poco a poco lentos, hasta encontrar el foco, terminado con una forma típica de 'arrullo' final.
