Estudos da Linguagem: Lentes para a leitura do mundo pós-pandêmico contempla resultados de pesquisas realizadas ou em andamento por pesquisadores e alunos que participaram do X SEPPEGEL – Seminário de Pesquisas do Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da Linguagem (PPEGEL) da Universidade Federal de Catalão (UFCAT) em 2022, no momento pós-pandemia Covid 19. O seminário almeja congregar e socializar os trabalhos de pesquisadores de instituições parceiras e de alunos de mestrado e doutorado do PPGEL em torno das linhas de pesquisa vigentes, a saber: 1) Discurso, Sujeito e Sociedade; 2) Literatura, Memória e Identidade e 3) Língua, Linguagens e Cultura.
Obra com o olhar voltado para a reunião de estudos que despertam a leitora e o leitor para a necessária reflexão sobre a linguagem. Por um lado, tem-se o desafio de analisar as imensuráveis manifestações linguísticas na contemporaneidade, especialmente em vista do contexto de rápida circulação, propagação e novas modalidades de comunicação. Noutro viés, forma-se um campo profícuo para que diferentes linhas de pesquisa possam adentrar cada vez mais intensamente nos estudos sobre multissemioses, multiletramentos, gêneros digitai etc.
Este livro é o resultado dos debates realizados no VIII SEPPGEL em 2020 - evento online durante a pandemia de COVID-19 - marcado pela coragem, pela potência e pelo compromisso ético com a pesquisa científica no Brasil. Os capítulos são trabalhos em andamento, com discussões teóricas e resultados preliminares das pesquisas de futuros/as mestres/as e doutores/as, bem como contribuições de docentes de outras IES.
Ottmar Ette’s TransArea proceeds from the thesis that globalization is not a recent phenomenon, but rather, a process of long duration that may be divided into four main phases of accelerated globalization. These phases connect our present, across the world’s widely divergent modern eras, to the period of early modern history. Ette demonstrates how the literatures of the world make possible a tangible perception of that which constitutes Life, both of our planet and on our planet, which may only be understood through the application of multiple logics. There is no substitute for the knowledge of literature: it is the knowledge of life, from life. This English translation will be of great...
These three stories are set in the slums of Angola's capital, Luanda, during the 1940s and 1950s. Originally published in Portuguese, this book won the Writers' Society's Grand Prize for Fiction in 1965.
This book proposes that there is no better, no more complex way to access a community, a society, an era and its cultures than through literature. For millennia, literature from a wide variety of geocultural areas has gathered knowledge about life, about survival, and about living together, without either falling into discursive or disciplinary specializations or functioning as a regulatory mechanism for cultural knowledge. Literature is able to offer its readers knowledge through direct participation in the form of step-by-step intellectual and affective experiences. Through this ability, it can reach and affect audiences across great spatial and temporal distances. Literature – what diff...
The breathtaking debut short story collection—first published in 1989—from one of Canada's most original and influential writers. Newly available in a special reissue edition from Knopf Canada. “This is political art at its searing best.”—The Women's Review of Books Since her the appearance of her novel In Another Place, Not Here, which was a New York Times Notable Book in 1998, award-winning author Dionne Brand has become one of the most revered figures in Canadian fiction. Sans Souci is Brand’s bold fiction debut, collecting eleven stories that breathe life and language into the lives of women in the Caribbean and the Black diaspora, often dealing with the process—and aftermath—of transit and arrival. Brand’s fiction dissects sexual violence, racial prejudice, and war, while attending to the full spectrum of experiences of those who live in the shadow of a shared colonial past—experiences encompassing both joy and sorrow, release and constraint. Now available for the first time in more than a decade, Sans Souci and Other Stories is a foundational work from one of our most cherished literary artists and thinkers.
From the double Booker Prize-winning author of Disgrace, an astonishing novel of new beginnings and the troubles of youth. 'Brilliant... Tenaciously absorbing' Daily Telegraph David is the small boy who is always asking questions. Simón and Inés take care of him in their new town, Estrella. He is learning the language, he has begun to make friends and he has the big dog Bolívar to watch over him. But he'll be seven soon and he should be at school. And so, David is enrolled in the Academy of Dance. It's here, in his new golden dancing slippers, that he learns how to call down the numbers from the sky. Yet it's here too that he will make troubling discoveries about what adults are capable of. The Schooldays of Jesus is a mesmerising tale about growing up, and about the choices we are forced to make in our lives. 'Compelling, often very funny, full of sudden depths' Observer Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2016
Translation and Multimodality: Beyond Words is one of the first books to explore how translation needs to be redefined and reconfigured in contexts where multiple modes of communication, such as writing, images, gesture, and music, occur simultaneously. Bringing together world-leading experts in translation theory and multimodality, each chapter explores important interconnections among these related, yet distinct, disciplines. As communication becomes ever more multimodal, the need to consider translation in multimodal contexts is increasingly vital. The various forms of meaning-making that have become prominent in the twenty-first century are already destabilising certain time-honoured translation-theoretic paradigms, causing old definitions and assumptions to appear inadequate. This ground-breaking volume explores these important issues in relation to multimodal translation with examples from literature, dance, music, TV, film, and the visual arts. Encouraging a greater convergence between these two significant disciplines, this text is essential for advanced students and researchers in Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Communication Studies.
In this book the author critiques the work of various writers within the framework of a globalized study of the Americas.
