Esse estudo articula sobre o conto Berenice de Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) publicado originalmente em 1835, recorrendo à imagem como orientadora de investigação. Para isso, esta dissertação utiliza como objetos de estudo, o filme francês Bérénice (1954) dirigido por Éric Rohmer e o episódio Berê, da minissérie brasileira Contos do Edgar (2013) dirigida por Pedro Morelli. A personagem dessa história morre e retorna à vida no final da narrativa, configurando-se como um exemplo emblemático de um signo bastante recorrente na obra de Poe, “a mulher bela e morta”. O conto refere-se ainda à ideia de morte e vida após a morte, eternizando o momento do finamento, tema recorrente na obra de Poe, em narrativa poética. Partindo dos estudos literários, foram investigadas as relações da personagem Berenice com a morte, e suas intercessões com os estudos no campo da psicanálise. A partir de outras discussões e leituras  de Poe, foram fornecidas uma análise de Berenice sob a ótica de Sigmund Freud, Marie Bonaparte, Soshana Felman e Jacques Lacan. Paralelamente e como forma complementar aos estudos e questionamentos aqui presentes, trabalhamos com a interdisciplinaridade que essas correntes estabelecem com conceitos de Roland Barthes, Maurice Blanchot, Tzvetan Todorov, Julio Cortázar e Jacques Ranciére, de modo a revisitar reflexões sobre as linguagens do cinema e da tevê. As linguagens cinematográfica e televisiva também foram abordadas conforme as percepções de Marcel Martin, Lotte Eisner e Sergei Eisestein, que forneceram subsídios para a investigação das relações entre literatura, arte e tecnologia.

Bien qu’ils aient connu des redoublements, qu’ils aient systématiquement abandonné l'école dite régulière ou qu’ils n’aient tout simplement pas eu accès à l’école dans l’enfance, pour diverses raisons, les apprenants de l'Éducation des Jeunes et des Adultes (EJA) possèdent des histoires concrètes et positives d'usage du portugais à travers toutes leurs expériences, au sein du milieu scolaire comme en dehors de celui-ci, de par diverses pratiques communautaires. Et nous estimons qu’il est important de se pencher sur leurs savoirs et d’en tenir compte lors de l’élaboration d’un programme d'Éducation des Jeunes et des Adultes. En partant de ces considérations et en tenant compte de la force idéologique qui imprègne les pratiques sociales de littératie en tant que pratiques identitaires, la présente étude vise à connaître la perception que ce genre d’apprenant a des usages quotidiens, de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage de la langue maternelle, sur la base de l’hypothèse qu’il est capable de fournir des bases de réflexion sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage du portugais au sein du programme de l'EJA. Pour ce faire, nous avons interviewé des apprenants (âgés de 15 à 24 ans) de ce profil. Sous-tendue par les bases théoriques et épistémologiques de la pensée critique, libératrice et transformatrice de Paulo Freire, par les théories critiques des Nouvelles Littératies et par les techniques de l'Analyse Critique du Discours (ACD), cette étude, de nature ethnographique, cherche à faire valoir la pensée des jeunes ainsi que leur perception de soi en tant que sujets et usagers de la langue, insérés dans des pratiques discursives impliquant des rapports de pouvoir sur les plans idéologique et politique. Les résultats de cette étude constituent des contributions à la conception de plans d'enseignement et d’apprentissage de la langue maternelle qui prennent en compte ces savoirs produits socialement, élargissant ainsi la perception de cette phase de la vie et de sa relation avec les études de l'EJA.

This investigation studied representations of the proofreader in the imagination of the academic-scientific author, based on Michel Pêcheux's theory of Discourse Analysis and its developments in Brazil, with Eni Orlandi. We seek to understand, by analyzing the author's discourse, what this client expects in relation to the services provided, the role and responsibilities of the reviewer. We start from the assumption that, when contracting a textual revision, the academic-scientific author wants a broader intervention than a normative-orthographic-grammatical correction to be carried out. We believe – and we try to show – that this client profile, who writes works in the university environment with a focus on knowledge generation and scientific publication, seeks a partner in the reviewer to help in the construction of a final version of the text. For that, this professional must, in the author's view, interfere in the text at a discursive level - either correcting, realigning and adapting, or rewriting, if necessary -, so that this text can say, in the best possible way, what is being said. proposes. The corpus of analysis was based on the discourse materialized in conversations and exchanges of messages that academic authors established with the reviewer at the time of contracting and during the performance of the review service, through email, WhatsApp or comments in the margins of the text. We seek, in the movement of analysis, to dialogue with the most current theories in editing processes, which approach the reviewer's work not only from the point of view of grammatical correction, but also from a discursive perspective, as part of the editorial activity. We understand, therefore, that the reviewer, in the imagination of the academic-scientific author, is, indeed, that professional who finds and corrects errors and deviations in spelling, grammar and standardization; Beyond this function, however, the reviewer is also a co-enunciator, a co-scribe, a partner with whom the author shares responsibilities and to whom he grants autonomy to intervene in the construction of his text and discourse.

Esta pesquisa parte do desejo de contribuir com formas que promovam o gerenciamento motivacional para aprender uma língua estrangeira (USHIODA, 1996; DÖRNYEI; USHIODA, 2011) e do reconhecimento de que o professor tem poucas condições de gerenciar a motivação dos estudantes em sala de aula (BAMBIRRA, 2009). Assim, foi criado um instrumento intitulado planner motivacional, composto por propostas que orientam a administração de metas, a reflexão e a tomada de decisões por parte dos estudantes. Tais atividades foram criadas para levar os estudantes a conhecerem as estratégias automotivacionais, propostas por Dörnyei (2005), a interagirem com elas e aplicá-las. Contando com a participação voluntária de cinco estudantes da disciplina intitulada ‘Oficina de Leitura e Produção de Textos em Língua Estrangeira III’, do curso de graduação em Letras do Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Minas Gerais, e da professora por ela responsável, foi realizado um estudo longitudinal, ao longo de um semestre letivo, em que atrajetória de gerenciamento motivacional, feita pelas estudantes participantes, foi acompanhada pela pesquisadora, por meio de sessões de orientação quinzenais e da análise dos registros feitos pelas estudantes no planner motivacional. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar como se dava o gerenciamento motivacional mediado pela utilização do plannere discutir até que ponto esse instrumento contribui para o gerenciamento da motivação. A metodologia empregada é de natureza aplicada, abordagem qualitativa, orientação exploratória, em formato de estudo de caso. Os dados gerados pelos registros feitos no planner pelas estudantes, pelas discussões realizadas nas sessões de orientação, pela escrita da narrativa e pela entrevista feita com a professora da disciplinaforam interpretados e discutidos à luz das teorias sobre uso de estratégias automotivacionais e de gerenciamento da própria motivação (em especial DÖRNYEI, 2005; DÖRNYEI. USHIODA, 2011; DÖRNYEI, 2017), a fim de responder às perguntas de pesquisa. Foi possível constatar que o planner motivacional viabilizou o gerenciamento da motivação e o engajamento na aprendizagem, de forma segura e completa, orientando a elaboração, o gerenciamento e o alcance de submetas e metas, a autorregulação e a reflexão sobre os processos envolvidos.

Esta tesis se refiere a una contribución a la expansión de los estudios lingüísticos sobre la práctica de la enseñanza del Portugués como Lengua de Acogida(PLA) en Brasil. Basado en el análisis del discurso de las mujeres migrantes aprendices de PLA, cuyas voces fueron secuestradas e impedidas de existir en la Historia de la Migración, el objetivo es,a través de la apertura de espacio para que este grupo pueda hablar y compartir sus experiencias en las rutas y procedimientos migratorios, verifique qué tipo de configuración es construida por ese grupoemesta enseñanza del Portugués que se posiciona como una de las pocas formas de agencia lingüística en nuestro país. Por lo tanto, esta investigación está dedicada a 1) Caracterizar la enseñanza de PLAen Brasil y en CEFET-MG; 2) Verificar si y cómo el PLAparticipa en el proceso de reconstrucción de identidad de las mujeres migrantes en la sociedad de acogida; 3) Analizar si el PLAha contribuido y cómo ha contribuido a una (re) configuración discursiva de los patrones de sociabilidad y a la construcción de otras inteligibilidades a través del acceso al lenguaje 4) Comparar si el discurso de la aprendiz de mujer migrante en el curso del PLAes coherente con La propuesta docente de esta práctica socioeducativa que se posiciona como un enfoque estructurado con vistas a cumplir una función social, humana, política, crítica y transgresor. La rutade trabajo se inicia mediante un intento de (des)estabilización discursiva de la configuración migratoria actual que ha visto formas de agencia casi exclusivamente a través del problema (MARTINS, 1998; ELHAJJI, 2011; BAUMAN, 2017). Luego, la intención es analizar el contexto sócio-histórico dondela migración femenina en Brasil y en el mundo comenzó a ser (re)resignificantey los reflejos del reconocimiento y problematización de la presencia de mujeres en los flujos (ASSIS, 2003, 2007; BOYD ; GRIECO, 2003; USHER, 2005; MARINUCCI, 2007; BASSANEZI, 2012; MATOS et al., 2018). En el curso de la investigación, se llevará a cabo una reflexión sobre los conceptos de PLA, de tal manera indicarsu importancia en un contexto de ausencia de políticas linguisticas estatales paramigrantes en crisis en Brasil y verificar el (supuesto) potencial emancipadory su participación en el proceso de (re)territorialización del sujeto migrante en el nuevo domicilio (AMADO, 2011, 2013, 2016; BARRANTES, 2015; MARQUES, 2018; ARANTES ET AL., 2015, 2016, 2017; PEREIRA, 2016; VESCHI, 2017; HARTWIG; SILVA , 2017; GROSSO, 2010; VIEIRA, 2010; REZENDE, 2010; SÃO BERNARDO, 2016; LOPEZ, 2016; CAMARGO, 2019; BOTTURA, 2019). Esta reflexión también incluirá enfoques que han problematizado la dinámica del funcionamiento del PLA (SANTOS, 2000; ANUNCIAÇÃO, 2017, 2018; LOPEZ, 2018; DINIZ; NEVES, 2018), con miras a ampliar la comprensión del objeto de investigación. Después, la investigación continúa con las teoriasde Spolsky (2004, 2009, 2012); Mariani (2004, 2007), Zoppi-Fontana; Diniz (2008), Zoppi-Fontana (2009), Diniz (2010, 2012) y Oliveira (2007, 2013) para verificar cuáles son las implicaciones de las políticas linguísticas en el funcionamiento de la lengua de acogida en Brasil hoy. El análisis de datos de la investigación se basará en los supuestos teóricos del Análisis del Discurso (PÊCHEUX, 1969, 1971, 1975, 1984, 1990; ORLANDI, 1992, 2001, 2012) y en aspectos conceptuales de las Narrativas deVida (BAKHTIN, 1929 , 1963; RICOUER, 1997; LEJEUNE 2008; ARFUCH, 2010) y para explorar la narrativa de las experiencias, los procesos de (re)negociación de identidad y los modos de subjetivación de las mujeres migrantes que son aprendices de PLA, me orientopor los supuestos de Foucault (1975, 1984, 1979/1980) y Butler (2015). Además, la metodología de esta tesis está guiada por los preceptos de la Linguística Aplicada Indisciplinaria (MOITA LOPES, 2006); Emancipada (RAJAGOPALAN, 2010); Critical and Transgressive (PENNYCOOK, 2001, 2006) y por la praxis decolonial (ORTIZ FERNÁNDEZ, 2004; MIGNOLO, 2007; QUIJANO, 2005, 2008; WALSH, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2013) -opciones inevitables para lidiar con la complejidad de los imperativos migratorios y sus subjetividades emel (re)direcionamientode la miradadel/en el Sur hacia las luchas que se imponen en este universo de multi-territorialidades tan particulares donde el PLA se desarolla.

We investigate,from Discourse Analysis’(DA) perspective, other forms of subjectivity that emerge from post-truth in digital communication times and narrative disputes in the political-electoral scenario. The empirical object starts from the main fake news spread during the presidential elections in Brazil, in 2018, for a future methodological sample involving the values (morals) and the ‘gay kit’matters, widely explored during the elections. The subjectivity issue becomes opportune and thought-provokingin this case, as it still presents gaps not sufficiently explored in the Discourse Analysis scope, especially the Semiolinguistic Theory by Charaudeau, centered on the idea of a subject with autonomy. The first approach was to question this autonomy, based on this fake news context’sparticularities, which could ‘subvert’elements considered essentialin the Charaudeauan theory. In parallel, we incorporate into the research, in an interdisciplinary perspective, theoretical and methodological contributions that might cover any unforeseen gaps in Semiolinguistics, such as observing the discourse reception based on ideas brought up by Benjamin (theory of shock) or Dunker (psychoanalysis). We seek to explore theethosissue through different methodsand also reflect on the ethical dimension based on Marie-Anne Paveau and Foucault, among other authors. From Foucault, we extracted important thoughts around notions of power, regimes of truth, and the very conception of the subject. Among the results so far, we see that the understanding of subjectivity in the fake news environment transposes some ‘analytical limits’found in Semiolinguistics. This transposition in noticeable, for instance, asthe recognition of the communication contract is compromised and camouflaged as if it were an information contract. Along the same line, we notice strategies tending to ‘forge’a balance in the knowledgeorganization, which is desirable for constructing social representationsand, therefore, for the subject’s autonomy. We refer in this case to the tendency for fake news to be based on beliefs but pass for based on knowledge. The reception sphere (and its effects) also deserves attention, which, in the scope of fake news and digital social networks, tends to be led by a shallow and distracted understanding, without much ambiguity, in the interpretive process. Such aspects themselves already denote a subject overdetermined by the urgency of readings, replies, clicks, and shares; a process seduced by the ‘urge,’which we call ‘latent reception effect.’Finally, in the external domain (social being), we notice that there are in fake news implicit strategies developed by subjects witha political-ideological, neoconservative project not explicitly revealed. It is then possible to see, blurred by the post-truth universe, narrative constructions considered manipulative, which restrain the heterogeneity of voices and suffocate singularity and otherness. In Foucault’s language, we would not be facing mere disputes for power or new regimes of truth, but the desire to assert a ‘state of domination,’and almost aporia that, by stifling freedom, shows its contempt for its ethical dimension.

This dissertation presents a case study focused on an experience of using a chatbot as a didactic material for the course Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, a teacher-training course offered by Instituto Ânima (Brazil) in partnership with the Tampere University (Finland) for Brazilian teachers. The digital information and communication technologies foster new types of didactic materials, both by creating new editorial or technological products and also by appropriating existing artifacts for educational purposes. Based on Graells’ (2000) definitions of didactic materials, we discuss the use of a chatbot as a didactic material when created specifically for teaching and learning purposes. This is a new type of digital didactic material, using Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. As the research main result, we created a matrix presenting criteria and descriptors for creation and evaluation of educational chatbots. This matrix was used to evaluate a chatbot as presented in the case study.

According to the Brazilian Public Security Forum every seven hours a woman is murdered and every 10 minutes a girl or woman is a rape victim in Brazil. These numbers are even greater when class and race are taken into account, says the research. I believe this history of violence can be observed in the comic book series Aconteceu comigo by Brazilian artist Laura Athayde, this research object. The comic strip artist, who produces digital comics mainly for social networking, proposes to narrate the lives of Brazilian women through various different themes in this collection. Based on the hypothesis that Laura composes images of Brazilian women in their plurality, and is keen on presenting them in such a way that these comics reveal their lives and experiences which are invisible and erased in other national contexts. I used themes such as life narratives, digital artivism, and decolonial feminism as insights to readat these comics. Inspired by these ideas, I analyzed this collection using an interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approach, emphasizing semiolinguistics, although I also rely on theories such as narratives of self, communication, digital activism, feminism, and comics. These questions allowed me to identify six narrative axis from which these lives are narrated: misogyny, violence, prejudice and oppression, racism, LGBTphobia, and mental health. Based on them, I analyzed women narratives - narrator-enunciator-character - who tell fragments of their lives in Aconteceu comigo, to understand that by activating the resistance and resilience ethé they strongly refute established imaginaries in the country attempting to control and circumscribe their lives. In this sense, I understand that by adopting a feminist and decolonial gesture, Laura Athayde is concerned both in representing Brazilian women in their diversity of bodies and experiences, and in portraying the history of victimization and violence in its many guises which are committed against women in the country. Thus, she uses her space of feminist artivist expression in the digital environment to politically position herself against these violences that affect our trajectories as Brazilian women, aiming to both affect and be affected by the publicization and narration of these experiences.

This research tried to understand some faces of a growing movement in Brasil and abroad, especially among black women: acceptance their crimped or curly hair. For that, we needed to think over possible imaginary sociodiscursive built over the aforementioned types of hair. Our aim was to comprehend the historical, sociological and cultural reasons which, throughout many years, made black women deny their hairstyle and smooth it using chemical products and on the other hand what took them to assume a natural perspective. We also want to highlight the linguistic, discursive and rhetorical elements that shows why they did accept some African characteristics, among them, their curly hair. The corpus of this thesis is made of eight e-mails written by women who have been or were through the process of hair transitioning. These are stories sent to a blog during a cultural contest promoted by a beauty parlor. The contest was looking for the most impactful stories that would win a haircut, a hair treatment, a makeup production and a professional photo. Through their testimonials, we researched the senses produced by these women and how they help (re)building their identity. This analysis has been done considering: i) understand how the brazilian beauty patterns were built, besides thinking over racism and feminism using concepts from Nilma Lino Gomes (2008), Djamila Ribeiro (2018), Grada Kilomba (2019), Amanda Braga (2015), Joyce Berth (2019), Márcia Tiburi (2018), bell hooks (2019), Carla Cristina Garcia (2015), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2015), Vilma Piedade (2017), Schuma Schumaher e Érico Vital Brazil (2013), Silvio Almeida (2018), Rafael Guerreiro Osorio (2003), Kabengele Munanga (2003), Frantz Fanon (2008), among others. ii) we dwelled over the corpus from references that came from text and speech studies, mainly, using the concepts of life narrative and other that came from authors such as Patrick Charaudeau (2007), Dominique Maingueneau (2011) and Ruth Amossy (2005), Ida Lúcia Machado (2016), Leonor Arfuch (2010), Émile Benveniste (1991) and Stuart Hall (2006). Overall the analysis showed that the process of smoothing these women´s hair, that were traditionally curly or crimped, was a natural condition imposed to black women so that they could feel part of a society in which the beauty pattern is guided by eurocentric characteristics. We also noticed that the capillary transition, far from being an easy process, configures itself as a political movement of rebuilding their identity and self-affirmation.

Starting from the interpretation of Manoel de Barros' poetic production, this work seeks to read the silence, the images, and the useless in the work of this poet. For this, we will start from an approximation of such elements as a line of force to read his poems. Thus, having this objective as a driver of work, we will seek to analyze how the elements mentioned are present in the work of Manoel de Barros. In order to make it possible to better contemplate them, several fragments of the work of the aforementioned poet were selected, which are highlighted throughout the work. We wil resort, in particular, to the philosophers Maurice Blanchot and Roland Barthes to think about silence and some concepts that approach here as nothingness, emptiness, absence, and neutrality. Later, we will establish a dialogue between the philosopher Didi-Huberman and the poet Manoel de Barros to reflect on a reassembled, transitory image and that of the trapeze poet. Still using mainly Didi-Huberman, but in every text making the movement to invite other thinkers, we will verify the presence of the useless in the work of Manoel de Barros. Therefore, starting from articulation between silence, image, and uselessness, we will approach the literary project of the poet from Mato Grosso.

This documentary work’s goal is to analyze the magazine Ciência Popular as a scientific divulgation speech, which has as case study the approach of supernatural themes. This brazilian periodic was published in the post Second World War period, between 1948 and 1960. The research counts with Ciência Popular’s collections available at Historical Library of the State Public Library of Minas Gerais and Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, in Belo Horizonte, MG. This dissertation's first step is the study of scientific divulgation's concept and the action field's contextualization in the post War’s period. Furthermore, the general features of Popular Science are studied, and also the connection between graphic aspects and how they convey the editorial speech, seeing that visual elements are not considered isolated towards the speech. To delineate the period, the release editorial (n. 1, Oct. 1948) will be discursively analyze according to Eni Orlandi's theory (2013), in order to understand the magazine as a scientific divulgation object, in accordance with the proposition exposed by general-director Ary Maurell Lobo. Later, by the concepts related to “communication situation” and the organization ways of “enunciative” and “argumentative” speechs, presented by Patrick Charaudeau (2010), aims to study the producted effects about supernatural approach by speech analysis, through texts sellection of Popular Science's magazine.

This research is based on the analysys of the conversations mediated by photography, by moving images and by the singing on Eduardo Coutinho’s documentary, highlighting the different body engagements of the character related with the other on-scene materialities.We present the constitution of what is called cinema of conversation on Coutinho’s work, resorting to the concept of conversation as the tracing of a becoming, from Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet on A Conversation: What is it? What is it for? pointing outsome convergences between the concepts of conversation of the director and the philosopher, outlining the lines that compose the director’s style: the tendency to minimalism in what concerns to the elimination of elements in the cinematographic language considered unnecessary, centering the forces of the movie around the encounter and conversation; affirmation of the charm in the story-teller character and the minor use they make of the language; the joy of the encounter on the part of the director and the characters; and the care established in both filming and assembly, components that flee from the basic question-and-answer structure on a standard interview of the traditional documentary. When the subjects of the movie, photography or the singing body are added up to the on-scene conversation, we see that the interviewer/intervewee binarism becomes fuzzy, blurred, eventually, the idea of authorship, as the other binarisms chairing the distribution of roles that structure and reassure on the classical interview shape. We emphasized scenes of conversations on the following director’s documentaries: Cabra Marcado Para Morrer (1984), Boca do Lixo (1993), Peões (2004) e As Canções (2011); without failing to mention, nonetheless, moments in Babilônia 2000 (2000), Edifício Master (2002) e O Fim e o Princípio (2005).

La literatura para niños en Brasil ha tenido históricamente un estatus inferior a otras literaturas, lo que puede explicarse por su aparición tardía y estrechamente vinculada al campo pedagógico. El concepto de “independencia editorial”, a su vez, revela más cuestionamientos que definiciones precisas. La inexactitud del término “independiente”, así como su apropiación como estrategia para pertenecer a un segmento atractivo, contribuyen a su propia deslegitimación. Las reflexiones iniciales se desarrollaron en preguntas: ¿Cómo es la relación entre las producciones editoriales independientes y los libros literarios para niños en Brasil? ¿Cuáles son las particularidades del panorama editorial en Belo Horizonte, capital de Minas Gerais, el segundo estado más poblado del país? En este trabajo investigamos los elementos que constituyen la autonomía del subcampo independiente de libros literarios para niños en Belo Horizonte. Utilizamos los conceptos de campo presentes en Bourdieu (1996, 2004, 2006) y Thompson (2013) para presentar un panorama histórico del subcampo editorial independiente en América Latina — basadas en Warth (2005), Barcellos (2006), Muniz Jr. (2010, 2016, 2017), Szpilbarg y Saferstein (2012), Lopéz Winne y Malumian (2016), Oliveira (2017), Amaral (2017), Coutinho (2017), Gomes (2018), Magalhães (2018), Ribeiro (2018), Schierloh (2019) y Coutinho (2020) — y del subcampo de libros literarios para niños en Brasil y, específicamente, en Minas Gerais, desde la obra de Carvalho (1993), Oliveira (2000), Arroyo (2010), Hunt (2010), D’Almeida (2011), Federman et al. (2011), Matarelli (2011), Lajolo y Zilberman (2017), Farias y Fernandes (2019), Pinheiro (2018), Ribeiro y Vinícius (2019), Tolentino (2020) y Barbosa (2021, en prensa). Realizamos entrevistas con los responsables de cuatro editoriales de Belo Horizonte que publican libros literarios para niños y frecuentan ferias de publicaciones independientes en la capital de Minas Gerais: Crivo Editorial, Impressões de Minas, MRN Editora y Mazza Edições. Finalmente, analizamos sus condiciones de funcionamiento y extraemos, a partir de cinco puntos principales, una posible lógica del subcampo en cuestión: 1) el bajo pero creciente grado de codificación de entrada; 2) la búsqueda del equilibrio entre capital económico y simbólico; 3) el desarrollo de proyectos y alianzas; 4) la frecuencia regular a ferias de publicaciones independientes; 5) y la fuerte presencia de "editores conejo", una nueva categoría en la matización metafórica del subcampo.

In this thesis, we propose to analyze Guilherme Mansur’s first editorial project, Poesia Livre, forged by the stamp Fundo de Ouro Preto Tipografia. We will also scrutinize how these project elements will become part of the literary-poetic experimentation pervaded by performance or happenings, called Chuvas de Poesia. We will show Mansur’s adaptation to the digital environment by analyzing photographic experiments published on Instagram from 2017 up to now. We will also analyze the editorial characteristics of Poesia Livre, whose production began in 1977 enduring up to 1985. This publication flourishes as a proposal hooked up in the “Marginal Generation” (Geração Marginal), poetic resistance work of a generation of well-known Brazilian poets. Furthermore, peculiar editorial features distinguish it from most printed works done without rigor by most poets’ movements. Poesia Livre owns its title by a freedom evocation and a wordplay to embrace the most diverse forms of poetry, as can be seen by the historical context of the launching. The youth of its creator, Mansur, then aged 19, created a unique publication with a befitting rhythm, totaling sixteen copies, inspiring several other similar publications and creating a network of connections connecting poets and artists throughout Brazil. In the 1990s Guilherme Mansur started the poetic performances Chuvas de Poesia, which mixes editing and performance, consisting of a radicalization of the assumptions that began with Poesia Livre, elevating the concept of “free” and “freedom” to an even greater power. These performances still take place in the 21st century and unfold into other types of artistic manifestations. We will see some of Mansur’s experiments on Instagram, work with a digital interface which he reinterprets works developed throughout his career, or even creates photographic series as a virtual museum for his photographic collection. Our main goal is analyzing the editorial processes of these three projects, distinguishing their singularities, and also analyzing part of the poetic cartography in Poesia Livre. We also aim to show how the productions presented are connected to a mix of various languages modes: typography, visual arts, performance, and, in his poetry, bits and pieces of the concrete poetics, the poetic movement he is included. Mansur adds baroque elements, giving rise to unique poetics that we call “Barrocobeat” poetry. Poesia Livre presents several poetic productions made by Mansur. In its nine years of existence, Poesia Livre left indelible marks on Mansur’s 

editing work, which was improved, evolving as the typographer-editor-poet (among other denominations) enters our contemporaneity. In addition to analyzing this role played as an editor, the study focuses on the characteristics of Mansur’s poetry, as a poet who, being an excellent typographer, through typographic language, manages to print unique characteristics inherent to his poetics built with movable type, in which the word occupies the axis of the composition of his creations and is always at the center of the work.

This research outlines the panoramic profile of female protagonists in books published by publishing houses aimed at young audiences in order to analyze the representativity of such characters. For this purpose, a corpus of 32 books published between 2010 and 2019 was selected, 14 of them by the publishing house Galera and 18 by Verus, all written by Brazilian women, so that we could understand the contemporary female protagonists. The study was motivated by the low number of investigations that bring together literature for young people, female authorship, and the protagonists of recent works. Thus, the research was undertaken with the aim of investigating who they are, whom and what reality the female protagonists of novels for young people written by women represent. Therefore, the research makes a brief review of the history of youth literature in Brazil until reaching literature for young people, the formation of this reader and the aesthetics of these works and their derivations, such as Young adult, New adult, Crossover, as well as a retrospective of the Chick-lit term, its origin and construction. While the books were being read, the elements analyzed were: 1) the protagonist's name, 2) the protagonist's age, 3) the region where the story takes place, 4) the time of the story, 5) the character's skin color, 6) education, 7) socioeconomic conditions, 8) religion, 9) gender identity and sexual orientation, 10) incidence of professional relationships, 11) incidence of love relationships, 12) incidence of family relationships, 13) friendships/enmities, 14) incidence of sexual relationships, 15) approach of controversial issues such as abortion, mental disorders, suicide, LGBT+ and racial issues. The analysis points to a heterogeneity in the composition of the female protagonists of the two publishing houses, represented by white, heterosexual, middle-class characters, whose narratives are strongly shaped by the affective search, even though the desire for professional and personal conquests is recurrent.

A partir da perspectiva teórica da análise de discurso, estapesquisa teve por objetivo analisar os imaginários produzidos na circulação do discurso governamental “nazismo é de esquerda”. Para tanto, levamos em consideração o discurso que se constitui pela relação da língua, do sujeito e da história para que fosse possível analisar os imaginários produzidos na discursivização do enunciado “nazismo é de esquerda” e os silenciamentos e evidenciamentos que se constituem a partir deste. Analisamos sequências discursivas em que o enunciado chave aparece, seja na sua forma plena seja como sinônimos, a partir de notícias que tem como manchete a fala do Presidente da República, Jair Bolsonaro, afirmando que o nazismo é de esquerda; a partir de comentários realizados sobre o texto intitulado “Pela Aliança Liberal Conservadora” postado pelo Ex-ministro das Relações Exteriores, Ernesto Araújo, em seu blog Metapolítica 17; e a partir de tweets realizados tanto por sujeitos que ocupam a posição discursiva de governo quanto por sujeitos da sociedade em geral que se identificam com a discursivização do enunciado em questão. Com as análises foi possível compreender que as formações imaginárias são produzidas
a partir da formação discursivadominante“extrema-direita” e partem do imaginário da esquerda como imigo potencial e da ameaça do fantasma comunista. Além disso, verificamos que esses imaginários são atravessados pela historicidade que os termos “nazismo” e “esquerda” possuem em condições de produção de grandes embates políticos-ideológicos e produzem evidenciamento dos sentidos que se pretendem naturalizar na língua pela resistência aos já-ditos, à memória e à história, resultando no silenciamento dos sentidos que se quer evitar, que se deseja apagar para que não sejam mais da ordem do dito. Para tanto, as análises foram sustentadas pelos conceitos à luz da Análise do Discurso de vertente francesa (Michel Pêcheux), mobilizando conceitos como
memória discursiva (Pêcheux, 1969, 1988, 2015; Orlandi 2015); evidenciamento (Moreira, 2009, 2020); silenciamento (Orlandi, 2007); sujeito (Pêcheux, 1988; Orlandi, 2015). Além disso, referências teóricas como Mariani (1996) ao tratar do imaginário da ameaça comunista da imprensa sobre o PCB e Indursky (1992, 2013) ao tratar do discurso da ditadura civil-militar no Brasil, que nos permitiram confirmar novos gestos de interpretação do enunciado “nazismo é de esquerda” que são materializados por discursividades como o nome do partido nazista, nome de líderes de regimes ditatoriais e adjetivações que são sustentadas pelas marcas “mal”, “ruim”, “perverso”, “movimento” e “ideologia”.

Esta dissertação propõe uma investigação sobre como o encontro de olhares dos cineastas Wim Wenders (1945–) e Yasujiro Ozu (1903–1963) no filme Tokyo-Ga (1985) pode estar ligado à noção de espacialidade no cinema. São apresentadas as características relacionadas à construção do espaço fílmico nas obras de cada um dos diretores, assim como influências que moldaram a forma como esses dois artistas entendem a linguagem cinematográfica, para finalmente traçar sugestões de leitura sobre o espaço de Tokyo-Ga. Para fundamentar a análise proposta nesta pesquisa, são utilizados principalmente os conceitos de: filme-ensaio, segundo Timothy Corrigan (2011); espaço literário e narração, a partir de Maurice Blanchot (1987; 2005); espaço cinematográfico, de acordo com Marcel Martin (2005); vazio e perda, segundo Roland Barthes (2004; 2007) e Didi-Huberman (1998); e imagem dialética, a partir de Walter Benjamin (2006). Ao final, conclui-se que duas ferramentas são essenciais à construção do espaço em Tokyo-Ga: a narração por voiceover e a montagem com imagens originais e imagens de arquivo. É sugerido que a jornada proporcionada pelo espaço fílmico eleva o potencial reflexivo da obra e, a partir da postura de respeito e aprendizagem do Zen, refletida de diversas formas nas linguagens dos diretores, os espaços autônomos são preenchidos por dualidades e as imagens do vazio podem tornar-se imagens dialéticas.

This research investigated the collaborative creation of memes in multilevel English classrooms. The context is that of the Professional and Technological Education in distance learning format, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodological approach was that of an Interactional Dynamics (DIPAC), under the principles of active learning. This study aims at exploring the possibilities that active learning methodologies, along with an approach based on the collaborative production of various text genres, may bring to the English language learning process in multilevel high school groups. The specific objectives of this study are: 1. To describe the involvement of all students who took part in this research, unattached to their previous knowledge of the target language, through the collaborative production of various text genres supported by active learning methodologies. 2. To analyse the ramifications of the activities in terms of stimulus to students’ motivation, autonomy, collaboration, critical literacy and content production/creation. 3. To discuss and reflect upon the activities, in order to identify possibilities of improvement and implement changes. This study is supported by the theoretical pillars of the multilevel approach and collaborative production of text genres; active learning methodologies and blended learning; collaboration and autonomy through DIPAC. Given the characteristics of the research and due to the data comprised by the corpus, we have chosen to develop na action research of qualitative nature, through a case study perspective. Data was obtained through the teacher’s reflective diaries, students’ posts on Google Classroom and students’ answers to the final evaluation form. As for the results, data analysis has shown that students expressed mostly positive opinions about the activities and in terms of their motivation, autonomy and learning having actually improved, as well as their interaction with each other and the teacher. Opportunities for improvement were also detected, discussed and explored. The teacher-researcher has also reflected on her works’ possible contributions for the general perception society has about teaching and learning English at school.

Considered by the NGO Global Witness as the most dangerous country in the world for environmental activism, Brazil has the highest number of environmentalists murders. Of those, women's battle for expression spaces to disseminate their discourse in environments defense. For centuries, women had their voices silenced and repressed by a patriarchal society, especially in political environments. Currently, women's environmental protagonism is sustained by the internet appropriation, specifically the social networking site Facebook. Even with some obstacles that threaten participation and political deliberation such as inequality of access, censorship and excessive control of networks, the social network sites appropriation by activists can contribute to growthr the reflections and communicative exchanges, transforming behaviors and habits. It is in this space that we study the digital narratives of environmentalists women. Using multiple epistemic-methodological bases, we discuss digital discourses in a constitutive way that qualify all the discursive traits, in order to understand how the construction of those environmentalists narratives on Facebook and how these narratives contribute to the activist expression.

This dissertation presents a multiple case study in favor of reading education. It is based

on a pedagogical approach guided by discourse genres, literary literacy and digital

literacy. The research, aims to investigate the development of reading ability of students

it comes from reading and understanding that they do of classic literary works giving

new meaning in memes, in the light of intersemiotic translation and multissemiotic

literacy. The participants in the research were freshmen students enrolled in Informatics

and Environment courses of the Integrated Technical High School at the Federal

Institute of the Southeast of Minas Gerais – Rio Pomba Campus, in 2018.The

dissertation presents two methodologies: teaching and research . In the teaching phase,

students were detailed on the steps that would be taken during classes. After choosing

the work to be read by each student, a period of thirty days was given for reading the

texts. After the reading, the others stages were accomplished between thirty days to

each new action. They were: The structures literature circle has discussion and notes of

important information - that discussion was accomplished in class during 55 minutes;

b) after, thirty days of deadline was given to write and deliver the summary; c) after, the

seminary about classic literacy works and other note was presented by students; d) after,

a picture that talked the classic literacy works was investigated in web according to

students; e) after, the meme was created based on intertextuality – besides delivering

of memes, there was the oral explaining about selected pictures and created meme; and

f) the last, all activities, genres made and selected picture, was delivered. In the research

methodology, firstly, the student activity analysis, formed by summary and memes

genres and picture was made; secondly, two notes ( literature circle and seminary) were

checked; thirdly, assessment work, formed by assessment teacher and assessment

student were analyzed. At the end, all activities were triangulated in order to observe the

development of the reading skills of the participants. Data analysis was guided by the

qualitative-interpretative approach according to Moita Lopes (1994). The theoretical

framework was based on theories of Discursive Genre according to (BAKHTIN, 1997),

Intersemiotic Translation (PLAZA, 2013), Semiotics (PEIRCE, 2008), Multisemiotic

Literacy (The New London Group, 1996). As a result, it presents a chart with

transcreation criteria and memes interpretation, and the possibility to use the

intersemitotic translation as a pedagogical approach in favor of reading education. The

conclusion invites us to rethink the position of reading practice and actions to encourage

the training of the reader in teaching and learning sphere.

This study aims to investigate the construction of future Portuguese teachers’ professional identities, as well as their relationship with the Social Representations that emerge from this construction in the discourse of  undergraduate students from Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais – UEMG – located in Divinópolis / MG, who filled in internship reports and answered questionnaires based on their practices. For that purpose, I refer to Bakhtin's (1999) studies on language, polyphony, discourse, voice management; to Mondada and Dubois (2003) and Koch (2003), who deal with referencing and the enunciative mechanisms; also to Hall (2006), Woodward (2000) and Bauman (2004), that discuss the issue of identity; Moscovici (2003), who deals with Social Representations; Matencio (2004) and Kleiman and Martins (2007) among others, that reflect upon linguistics and teacher education. In addition, this research discusses the articulation between theory and practice, departing from theoretical positions about teacher education, defended by authors such as Freire (1999), Nóvoa (2009), Tardif (2014), among others. The construction of the interlocutive game in reports and questionnaires is analyzed, taking into account the assumption of social, communicative and personal roles and the delimitation of the discursive purpose(s), identifying and analytically describing the enunciative mechanisms and their effects on the discursive plots’ composition present in the internship reports. In addition, the Social Representations about the teachers' conceptions taken from the Supervised Internship is identified through recurrences of linguistic aspects. Also, the construction of the representations observed in the students' discourses materialized in the reports and questionnaires is described and analyzed. Considering the materiality of the data and theoretical-methodological principles adopted, this research has characteristics of the constructivist paradigm. It is interpretative and qualitative, once my interest is not limited to what enunciators say, but also to the manner they say it. This study consists of a documental analysis that can be understood as a study case (YIN, 2001), once I try to understand how identity construction takes place through the observation and analysis of undergraduate language students’ written narratives about their internship. For this research, I consider the data collected during the four semesters of internship programs that happen during college years. Therefore, I present a longitudinal vision and the (trans)formation of professional identity and representations throughout the internship programs. In this perspective, I divided the analysis into the following parts: class observation analysis, class conduction analysis, questionnaire analysis, emerging representations in data crossing and undergraduate language students’ identity construction. The analysis showed that the undergraduate students built their identities based on the representations of innovative teacher, that is the one who provides the construction of knowledge by interacting, educating and demonstrating to be sensitive to heterogeneity, who is ethical, reflexive and demonstrates authoritywithout authoritarianism. The results obtained in the research may contribute to provide me, as a researcher, and also other interested professionals, subsidies that may guide our teaching-learning activities aimed at educating undergraduate language students. Besides, they may contribute to the reflection upon the importance of Supervised Internship in the process of building Portuguese teachers’ identities and representations about their profession.

Although many times treated as a privilege of the elite and unnecessary to least-favored social classes, the teaching and learning of English Language is a student’s right based on National Curriculum Guidelines in Brazil. This learning process, being part of educational field, is part of a social realm, and can’t be characterized as a commodity. This thesis investigates the discursive constructions on the teaching and learning English in language courses advertisements and in the discourse of students in the end of the last year of high school. The focus in this research is the possible repetitions in both discourses, seeking to approach the representational aspect in the productions analyzed. This research is within the scope of Critical Discourse Analysis, as it focuses on recurrences that promote the reproduction of power, rather than reducing inequalities in learning access. A Systemic Functional approach on language (HALLIDAY, 2004) is adopted, considering the attitudes of high school students about many elements composing this English teaching educational process. The analysis of students’ discourse was made based on the appraisal system by Martin and White (2005). Concerning the analysis of the advertisement in video, Bezerra’s (2012) proposal to the analysis of dynamic image was adopted. The study allowed an investigation of common aspects between students’ discourses and advertisement discourses, leading to the conclusion that both discourses support a representation of English language as a commodity (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001), making it inseparable of consumption relations guided, not by what in fact constributes to the common good, but to what enriches a few through the definition of English teaching as a product necessary for achieving success. Giving primacy to the product, rather than the learning process, such discourses reinforce the understanding of the language as something you can acquire in a market transaction, ignoring the complexity inherent to the English Language learning process.

This thesis, presented to the Doctoral Course in Language Studies, of the Post-Graduate Program Strictto Sensu of the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG), is the result of research that we have developed since 2017 on the production of French writer, poet, essaist and playwright, Jean Genet (1910-1986). The central concept of ours research is that of tragic thought. Therefore, we rote four chapter that deal with a conceptual network that seeks to evidence the exercise of that way of thinking by Genet, when developing his writing. In the first chapter, entitled The Tragic Thought, we try to present different aspects that involve the concept of tragic thought, that is, the unrestricted affirmation of existence and its multiple tensions, especially its relationship with the eternal return, the amor fati and the joy of tragic. In the following chapter, called Eternal Return... Violence... Genetian Becoming, we seek to show how the multiple and recurrent situations of violence experienced and described by the French writer throughout his life help to show traces of a kind of tragic thought. In the third chapter, entitled Fablecreate: Jean Genet and the Fabulatory Machine, we think about the concept of fabulation and how it enables Genet to create a people to come. Finally, in Genet's Tragic jouissance: on desire, the body and great health, we seek to show that, for Genet, the body is a great reason, based on the concepts of desire – as a creative power – body without organs – which calls into question the organizations and systematicities of the body – and the forgetfulness that, through betrayal, in the Genetian scripture, enables a way of happiness, manifesting great health.

Esta tese analisa a importância da leitura e da escrita em ambientes de privação de liberdade. A prisão, como um espaço de despersonalização e silenciamento, age sempre pela adaptação, pelo controle e pelo ajustamento dos indivíduos. A presença do livro e de projetos de promoção da leitura nesses espaços visa à construção de formas mais dignas de cumprimento da pena, atuando pela emancipação dos apenados. A partir do exemplo de escritores presos e de pessoas encarceradas que se iniciaram na literatura, o trabalho se propõe a discutir a prisão como um “espaço de crise” e a avaliar os limites da educação prisional, a partir da história dos mecanismos de progressão de pena. A investigação sobre projetos de remição pela leitura será contemplada nos capítulos finais, a partir da análise de exemplos ao redor do Brasil e, mais especificamente, na abordagem do projeto Rodas de Leitura, implantado nos presídios da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte durante os anos 2017 e 2018. A recepção de obras literárias e os diálogos entre os participantes, os mediadores de leitura e os escritores em visita à prisão são analisados à luz da teoria desenvolvida nos capítulos iniciais da tese, com destaque para os conceitos de “encarceramento em massa”, “leitura em ambientes de crise”, “heterotopias de desvio”, “escrita de si” e “pedagogia emancipadora”. Pretende-se entender o papel de ações educacionais, mais especificamente aquelas ligadas à prática leitora, como instrumento de resistência à objetificação e de incentivo à reeducação, à reinserção e à reintegração dos sujeitos apenados.

O objetivo deste estudo é compreender como os sujeitos que trabalham em lixões se apresentam e são representados, discursivamente, nos documentários Boca de lixo (COUTINHO, 1992), Estamira (PRADO, 2004) e Aterro (REIS, 2011). Para tanto, construímos uma contextualização abordando a história dos documentários como um gênero híbrido, que se encontra ameio caminho entre o documento e a fabulação, devido à sua estrutura, intermediada entre o artístico, o fílmico e o informativo. Como pilares teórico-metodológicos, recorremos à Análise do Discurso (AD), a partir da Teoria Semiolinguística (TS), de Charaudeau (2013a; 2013b; 2014), que nos forneceu um corpo de conceitos e de categorias, acompanhado de um quadro metodológico, capaz de nos guiar na investigação. Assim, os estudos sobre os sujeitos no discurso, os imaginários sociodiscursivos, o contrato de comunicação e os modos de organização do discurso dos documentários são basilares para nossa análise. A AD, por ser umcampo interdisciplinar, permite uma interface com outras áreas do conhecimentoque dialoguem com os Estudos da Linguagem. Nossas análises apontaram que os três documentários brasileiros mostram distintas dinâmicas de registro da vida dessas pessoas, e os documentaristas, ao visibilizarem esses sujeitos em sua singularidade, lançaram mãos de estratégias para firmar um posicionamento político e ideológico, do qual todo discurso é portador. Nesse sentido é que se mostrou interessante analisar esses documentários, que se configuram como dispositivos de referência de um memorial sócio-histórico e que dão a conhecer um pouco sobre essas existências mínimas, relegadas àmargem social, geográfica, econômica e política. Ressaltamos que os sujeitos entrevistados nos documentários se apresentam e são representados em sua singularidade e não na totalidade de um grupo social, fazendo com que cada documentário assuma um lugar de afirmação da diversidade de experiências, identidades e linguagens. A visibilidade dada ao sujeito do discurso, por meio de sua voz, corpo e presença, fomenta o interesse pela história desse outro que vive em um lugar que parece ser possível de acessarmos apenas de forma mediada. Nossas conclusões indicam que as mulheres protagonizam as narrativas nos documentário se fazem uso da memória, como ferramenta de resgate de suas histórias, e ao visitar o passado, elas buscam imprimir sentido ao tempo presente. Por meio dessa narrativa, esse sujeito sócio-histórico se (re)constitui em seu ambiente de trabalho e doméstico, a partir dos modos de existência nesses espaços em que (sobre)vive. Os aterros e lixões,como lugares para onde são levados os restos recolhidos dos grandes centros urbanos, caracterizam-se ainda como espaços em que diferentes memórias se correlacionam. De um lado, tem-se a memória e história daquele que descartou o objeto; de outro, a memória daquele que, ao se encontrar com esse objeto descartado, ressignifica-o e, assim, ressignifica sua própria história. O documentário, assim, representa o dispositivo em que essas memórias e histórias foram resgatadas e registradas, constituindo-se, portanto, em uma memória externa dessas narrativas.

Research carried out by teachers who work in the Portuguese / Spanish Literature course at UFMS, in the distance modality, in addition to teaching experience, there is a recurrence of the phenomena of interaction as an element of balance or imbalance in the maintenance of the group. Thus, from the work of Parreiras (2005) and Vetromille-Castro (2007), whose research is closely related to the maintenance of groups based on the dynamics of Complex Adaptive Systems, the intention arose, within the scope of the Doctoral Program in Language Studies at CEFET-MG, to deepen the relationship between interactivity in virtual learning environments and the phenomenon of dropout, seeking to understand the patterns of interactivity within the AVA that precede school dropout. The research seeks to deepen the work carried out by Vetromille-Castro (2008) who addressed, in his doctoral thesis, socio-interactive entropy as an element that destabilizes any and all Complex Adaptive Systems constituting a Virtual Learning Environment. The author also points out that interaction is a systemic condition so that entropy does not overlap the functioning and dynamics of the group causing the closure of its cycle. In this way, we seek to find out in which dimension entropy destabilizes the system and at what moment it causes evasion. Indeed, based on these considerations, we seek to better understand our work as teachers at a public institution of higher education that seeks to find control mechanisms for evasion.

A partir del estudio de DziCroquettes, un grupo de teatro musical carioca de los años 70, pretendemos analizar con esta investigación un tema muy importante en la actualidad: la afirmación del cuerpo. Es un estudio que busca, sobre todo, discutir y lanzar un enfoque sobre la urgencia imperiosa de pensar la diferencia, desde la propuesta de vida y arte de los Dzi, precursores artísticos de las discusiones sobre género y sexualidad en Brasil, que engendraron una revolución conductual, sexual y estética. Con este fin, la disertación tendrá el refuerzo filosófico de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) y, algunos pensadores que tuvieron resonancia en este pensamiento, proponiendo un elogio al cuerpo, relacionándolos con las construcciones libertarias del grupo. La disertación también trabaja con Judith Butler y la teoría queer para discutir este cuerpo Dzi que actúa con expresiones de género fluido. 

This work proposes a reflection on the conceptions of space presented in the books A Rosa do Povo (1945) and Claro Enigma (1951) by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, from the perspective of creation. From an interdisciplinary interest, we propose a dialogue between theoreticians of Literature and Geography to initially establish a perspective of the landscape, treated as analogous to the image in processes of production and reception of what makes up the vision. At the limit between the disciplinary fields, derivations of the landscape emerge, which become evident as the notions of country and travel, recurring themes in the selected works. The transition from the poetic forms of the books between the periods of publication reflects the great political and social transformations that are characteristic of the poet, but also of the society and of the cities addressed by him. Such places cross life and the world in constant reaffirmation of “space time”. 

This research intends to think of the ecosystem and the video games industry through the lens of the philosophy of Deleuze-Guattari and other thinkers who densify the readings of the arts and various forms of expression in their relations with other aspects of the social fabric. For this, we seek to use the conceptual apparatus provided by philosophy to examine games in their multiple dispositions in contemporary territory. Putting the video game between difference and simulacrum, that is, showing its diverging powers and its idiosyncratic expressions that transcend representation, but whose meanings, as proposed by Deleuze, emerge through a series of paradoxes, occur in fields of tension between forces that seek to intensify different facets of what makes up the playful experience. It is expressive although it is compulsive, transgressive although alienating, artistic although the product of capital. And in the midst of these tensions and contradictions that are not worth resolving, there is a search for the meaning and symbolic value of works that are the product and production of a technology inseparable from contemporary socius. Creations that are, at the same time, manifestations of an affirmative power brought about by technology and the product of an alienating capitalist system, of a technology that, based on the ideal of a permanent progress, ends up hiding its multiple political, social, economic and environmental developments. We aspire to think how experience and creation, especially in the creation of the game, can serve as an escape route to the utilitarian existence in the control society. Therefore, an approximation between games and other modes of the arts is necessary.

This research aims to verify to what extent the organization and implementation of a didactic device in accordance with the standards of Didactic Engineering can contribute to the construction of the practices for multi-literacy of multimodal texts in the teaching and learning process of 8th grade students. Among the justifications for conducting this research, we highlight that the Didactic Engineering theory brings its contributions as an experimentation methodology and also as promotion of systematic interventional practices, so the students appropriates progressively of the communicative activities in which they are inserted. It is important to emphasize that the interventional action needs to be planned, with clear and defined objectives, as well as consider the means that will be used to achieve the previously established purposes (BNCC, 2017). The proposed hypothesis is that, with the planning and implementation of devices systematically designed through Didactic Engineering, the students of basic education will be able to develop their multi-literacy skills related to multimodal texts, as well as understand the socio-communicative functioning of the institutional advertising genre. As theoretical reference for this work, the research uses authors such as Bahhtin [1929] 2006, Bronckart (1999), Dolz, Noverraz, Schneuwly (2004), Roxane Rojo (2012), Vygotsky, Santaella (2012). As methodology, we developed an applied research project. In this sense, the type of research adopted will be an applied research, which seeks to contribute to a proposal for didactic strategies – mediated and systematized by the teacher - in order to mitigate the difficulties demonstrated by students in relating the multiple languages of the genre institutional advertising with focus in the construction of different semioses. We brought an application of diagnostic activity that assesses some reading skills; sequentially, the realization of the workshops systematically organized from the diagnostic activity and, finally, the application of reading activity with the same purpose as the one previously applied, in order to analyze the practices carried out especially during the development of the workshops. Through comparisons between the results obtained by the students in the diagnostic activity and in the activities of the workshops, it was possible to verify the development of students' reading skills. The results show that, during the workshops, teaching reading skills requires a systematic work, planned by a teacher / engineer who promotes constant learning mediation. Given these systematizations of didactic strategies, we can say that the Didactic Engineering tools were efficient for the development of students' reading skills. They positioned in a participatory and critical way in the construction of new learning. Thus, we believe in the need for investment in the organization of Didactic Engineering projects, which explore the reading of different multimodal texts, in order to allow students to be able to read critically other genres that they face in their social environment, especially those that use multimodal language.

The objective of this work is to identify which images of citizens from the city of Carangola were constructed by the newspapers O Radical(1891) and O Rebate(1893) at the turn from the 19th to the 20th century. We realize the need for more regionalised studies, which involve interdisciplinary research concerning the press, addressing the newspapers in their different possibilities and contexts for analysis development. Given the economic, social and cultural prominence of the city of Carangola, Minas Gerais / Brazil, as a pole that published several journals, still little explored in research, we consider it important to carry out a study of the aforementioned newspapers, published in the city. We understand that these newspapers sought to establish links between news organizations and the community in which they were located. In some reports, we noticed a proximity of the newspapers with their readers, in which we found information about the behavior and events related to people and families considered as models, exemplars. Although at the time these sections did not yet constitute what we now call “social column”, we classified them this way due to their thematic corpus and their textual characteristics. In the “social column”, the construction of the image of the ideal Carangolan citizen, by the newspapers, is more evident, since the characters that make up the narrative are idealized from real beings, named and characterized. In the second session, we return, in a historical overview, to some of the issues that influenced the production of the aforementioned newspapers and discuss in which economic, social, political and cultural scenario they weredeveloped. In the third session, we deepen our debate through the following concepts discussed by Patrick Charaudeau (2014; 2016; 2017): language, discourse and social imaginary. We also define the social column genre and its characteristics. Thus, it was possible to analyze the social imaginary and evaluate the image of Carangolan citizens that was built and supported by these newspapers. We conclude that the image constructed and represented by the newspapers of an ideal Carangolan citizen, also an ideal reader of the news, is characterized by the figure of a successful white man; outstanding in his profession or activity; a powerful, influential and highly esteemed man in the social environment in which he lives; a virtuous man, committed to his family obligations and used to the knowledge and characteristics linked to the ideal models of attitudes and sophistications from European culture. The "social columns" function as a kind of “showcase”, where the personalities of the elites have their ideal values and models of conduct displayed to the whole society.

The research describes and analyzes the elements of the graphic project and the elements of the paratext of the five editions of the series “Os Karas”, by Pedro Bandeira, published by Moderna. “Os Karas” series is formed by A droga da obediência, published in 1984, Pântano de sangue, in 1987, Anjo da morte, in 1988, A droga do amor, in 1993, Droga de americana!, in 1999 and A droga da amizade, in 2014. For this research, the editions were classified according to the publication date. The Edição 80, therefore, includes the books published over the 1980s, the Edição 90, over the 1990s, and the Edições 2003, 2009 and 2014 were published in the respective years. The research was motivated by the attempt to understand the reasons that led to the publication of the new editions of the series. The analysis and the comparison of the elements, thereby, were made in order to investigate the following hypothesis: the changes were made so that the graphic project and the paratext could convey a conception of young people more consistent with the generation of readers of each era. To carry out the research, it was necessary to first investigate the concepts of youth and adolescence, the particularities of the Brazilian young adult literature, its growth and consolidation in Brazil and the questioning about young adult as a “gender” due to its inherent relationship to the school institution. It was also necessary to understand the elaboration of the graphic project of a book, and highlight the notes on image, front cover and paratext, a term coined by Gérard Genette. The research corpus, formed by the 24 books of the series, is part of the collection of public libraries, school and university libraries from Belo Horizonte. The analyzed elements were classified into five groups: book format and type of paper; front cover and attachments (back cover, spine, french flaps, endpapers, binding); illustrations; composition of the written text (typography, text alignment, characters per line, hyphenation, numbering); peritext (title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, chapter title, endnote and footnote, colophon, the author bio and pieces of information about the work). It was found that the conception of young people as a forward-looking person and a defender of the values of freedom, equality and justice, remained over the editions. However, some perceptible changes were made to the elements of the graphic project and the paratext in an attempt to update the books and the consequent approach with new generations of readers. Other hypothesis emerged along the research to explain the publication of new editions of the series, as commercial motivations and the need to standardize the book series.

The Urban Sketchers group is destined to artists, architects, designers and people interested in Urban Sketching. It was created in 2007 by the illustrator Gabriel Campanario with the goal to estimulate, promote and conect people interested in the practiceof the Urban Sketching, made through direct observation, in loco, without the use of photography. Estimulated by the manifest of the group, people gather to draw the city, doing a register of time and place, sharing the creations online afterwards. Despite this, one of the most proficient ways to share and propagate the movement is through the book. This dissertation has the goal to create an editorial history about these publications moved by the group, with a focus on the brazilian market. Which are the printed books by Urban Sketchers launched in Brazil since the creation of the group in 2007? Who are the authors and publishing houses responsible for the publication of these books? How was the editorial process of them? What is the reader publicprofileof these books? Those are some questions that were brought and answered during the research. To accomplish that it was usedsome methodological proceduresto create the history of the movement and its editorial outlook that involved research through blogs and sites about the group, a data record sheetwith information collectedfrom the books of the corpus, application of a quiz to some professional behind the material, with focus on the authors, alongside some editors. To know the reader public of these books it was done an online quiz, that collected information to identify the type of people who reads these books inside the Urban Sketchers movement. For the theoretical building of the work it was used researches that dialogues with multiple areas: for theconstruction of a dialogue between the citym the drawing and the book, the works ofBinho Barreto (2007); Brígida Campbell (2014); Karina Kuschnir (2012), Paulo Tôrres (2016; 2017a; 2017b) and Raro de Oliveira (2019); To verify the agents of these publications and the book as an object: Ana Elisa Ribeiro (2016; 2018a; 2018b), Chris Anderson (2006), John B. Thompson (2013), Roger Chartier (2014) and Robert Darnton (2010). For last, to understand the practices of some editorial houses responsible for these publications, it wasnecessary to understand the mechanisms used by these so-calledindependents initiatives, throughthe works of: Alice Bicalho (2007), Gilles Colleu (2007) e José Muniz Jr. (2016).This work itself concluded that it is important to start documenting the history of the Urban Sketchers Movement, that in its brief existence already made important actions about topics such as the drawing and the city, in a global scale, and the dissertationis aware of the possibilities of creating a base work, that can be consulted by other researches to get going with the research itself, that hasmaterial and corpus to be looked at different perspectives, and that showcases important figures behind the books of the corpus, building also an academic platform for the preservation of their works as book professionals.

This study focuses on discussions that have emerged on Facebook about the
role of teacher in the classroom. There are two opposed movements: School without
Party (SWP) and Teachers against School without Party (TASWP). This study aims to
analyze on Facebook comments the discourses of legitimation and the role of teacher
pictured by the two groups. It is used the methodological framework based on French
discourse analysis Michael Pêcheux. The corpora are formed by discourses selected on
the Internet taking into account important dates such as 2004 and 2005 when SWP and
TASWP were respectively created and periods between 2014 and 2019 when bills have
been proposed. The analysis of the discourse aim to question: I) To which extent may
this research contribute to understand the political-ideological polarizations that
interfere in the discourses and the control of meaning of the two groups ideologically
opposed within the Facebook platform? II) Which are the effects of meanings
introduced into subject’s discourses (social, collective and discursive memories) by both
groups taking into consideration the social ideological historical context? III) How can
the representations that reinforce the divergent world’s view and are based on politicalideological
perspective related to the role of teacher and his/her teaching performance
be analyzed on Facebook comments posted by members of both SWP and TASWP
groups?

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar, sob a luz da Análise Crítica de Discurso (ACD), de que forma foram dispostos elementos para a construção de sentido nas elocuções da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff nas cerimônias de instalação da Comissão Nacional da Verdade e entrega do Relatório Final. Recorre-se aos conceitos de discurso político de Patrick Charaudeau, de hegemonia de Gramsi e ideologia de Althusser para constituição do arcabouço teórico para a análise. Além desses referenciais, a pesquisa emprega o Modelo Tridimensional da ACD, bem como conceitos de Ordens do Discurso de Michel Foucault para o entendimento das relações de poder e das relações entre o sujeito e a estrutura do Estado expressas na conciliação de interesses na constituição da Comissão e das elocuções. A escolha pelo corpus se deu por se tratar de elocuções marcantes na história brasileira, ocorridas em eventos que marcaram a instituição de uma Comissão capaz de investigar violações de Direitos Humanos durante a ditadura militar no Brasil, uma das iniciativas para recuperação da memória dos anos de chumbo no Brasil e fazer justiça aos mortos e desaparecidos no período. A investigação buscou reconstruir a trajetória de vida de Dilma Rousseff, o histórico de ações em prol da rememoração das vítimas após a redemocratização, além de realizar uma breve contextualização sobre o conteúdo dos relatórios e situação política do governo de Dilma Rousseff, bem como um panorama sobre o trabalho exercido pela CNV. Como resultado, dispõe-se que as falas analisadas apontam forte tendência à valorização de instituições democráticas, projetam que o Governo Federal deve se responsabilizar e agir de forma a inibir novos abusos e tenta incutir valores de que toda a população brasileira deve ser responsável por promover e fortalecer a democracia.

This paper aims at investigating the relation that exists between the knowledge and the assembly in the book O queijo e os vermes, written by the italian historian Carlo Ginzburg, originally published in 1976. This book, reconstitutes and tells Domenico Scandella’s history, also known as Menocchio, a farmer that has had his own ideas repressed by the inquisitorial power in the 16^th century. The knowledge and the readings that Menocchio used to construct his own cosmogony are investigated based on Michel Foucault's thought on discourse, knowledge and power, and also regarding the concept of assembly (montage) from Georges Didi-Huberman. The investigations of Professor Ivan Domingues about transdisciplinarity collaborated in the sense of considering that Menocchio’s cosmogony puts into movement the field of knowledge, reinventing new possibilities.

En esta investigación se busca comprender cómo el Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático (PNLD) concibe la literatura para niños y jóvenes. Para ello, se analiza la convocatoria de solicitudes de registro y evaluación de libros literarios del PNLD Literário 2018 y 2020, que van desde los criterios de evaluación adoptados por el programa hasta la caracterización de obras y del material complementario de apoyo a los docentes. El análisis documental destaca tres aspectos en particular: i) la calidad literaria, ii) la escolarización de la literatura y iii) la concepción del libro como objeto material. El trabajo también presenta una revisión histórica y bibliográfica del campo de la literatura infantil y juvenil, así como de las políticas públicas del libro y la lectura en Brasil. La investigación se basa en el entendimiento de que las políticas públicas, por su carácter legislativo, potencial económico, poder de ejecución y consagración, tienen una gran influencia en el campo editorial brasileño, especialmente en el segmento infantil y juvenil. Desde esta perspectiva, busca dilucidar las bases históricas, políticas, económicas y culturales sobre las que se desarrolla la literatura infantil y juvenil brasileña y la formación inicial del lector literario en el país. Como fundamento teórico se utilizan los estudios de Pierre Bourdieu, Lígia Chiappini, Marisa Lajolo y Regina Zilberman, Kazumi Munakata, Zohar Shavit y Magda Soares. Con ello, se establece un diálogo entre los campos editorial, literario y educativo. Se observa, a partir del análisis, que el PNLD Literario valora una concepción pedagógica de literatura, restringiendo la autonomía de profesores y estudiantes, vetando la condición estética de las obras literarias y transformándolas en material didáctico de apoyo.  El programa asigna objetivos utilitarios y misiones moralizadoras a la literatura, sirviendo como referencia conductual para los niños y como mecanismo de transmisión de contenidos.

This work focus in the analisys of family portraits in studio and itinerance activities by the photografher Assis Horta, born in Diamantina, in period of New State (1937-1945) from the perspective of translation and cultural difference, concepts presented and explored by Jacques Derrida and some of his followers. Postcolonial philosopher Homi K. Bhabha suggests, in a series of articles gathered in the volume The Place of the Culture (2007), from the derridian perspective, that the world can be read like words are read and the several cultures, as interdisciplinary texts, therefore, “translatable” from a historical-political-social context to another. This adaptation process of cultural narratives generates other discursive texts that can be analyzed from cultural products such as photographic portraits, where micro-aspects of scenarios, pose, body gestures, clothing, etc, allow us to glimpse plastic and social compositions that, the one time, contest and settle. In this way, the production of the first photographic records of ordinary people at the beginning of the 20th century becomes particularly interesting.

This research aims to contextualize the biographical genre in the history of children's literature, aligning such perspectives to the Brazilian editorial scenario and discussing issues related to the representativeness of the black character in these works, specifically by Nelson Mandela. To this end, we started from a market survey from which we selected and proposed the analysis of four biographies of Nelson Mandela, produced between 2003 and 2018, based on the following criteria: i) editorial house; ii) graphic design and illustrations, and iii) enunciative voice. We start from the conception that biographical works, when directed to children, tend to have an educational perspective, which leads us to question how the representations of the black character occur since he is a marginalized and invisible subject. Furthermore, we aim to understand to what degree books graphic and editorial aspects can influence the meanings making processes produced. We employed Pierre Bourdieu (1997; 2005; 2006; 2007; 2018), Marisa Lajolo, and Regina Zilberman (2007), François Dosse (2015), and Stuart Hall (2016) as Theoretical foundations, as well as complementary works. It can be observed that the publishing market for children's books has appropriated the biographical narrative so that the tendency points to the growth of the gender in the modality. Regarding the analysis, we perceived the black protagonism on such subjects is proportionally lower than the one granted to white characters, which reinforces the homogeneity of literary representations, even though there are legislation and political movements that seek to fulfill the existing gap of African and Afrodescendant productions in children's literature. Moreover, we realized both Nelson Mandela and South Africa representation tend to be based on a colonialist perception, according to the Negrismo perspective. It's also observed that biographical works about real-life characters tend to cast aspects of their trajectory to weave a life storythat can be used as a tool for children's moral education.

This dissertation has as its main research topic: reflections on the way in which the writing configures itself as a space for political change in the setting of principles of vision and division of the social world, in the theoretical perspective of Pierre Bourdieu, and/or the relationships between seeing, doing and being on the distributions of the sensible, based on Jaques Ranciére’s considerations. And how literature can be a democratic instrument for changing this divisions, claiming the existence, visibility and inclusion of the uncounted portions, supplementary groups that were excluded from the community, by introducing disagreement, the Other, opening up to new possibilities of storytelling and representative settings world. Therefore, aspects of the writing disputes in the Mozambican colonial context will be analyzed, as well as the post-independence conflicts, mainly the literary production in the 1980s. The tensions between the FRELIMO unitary model of combative poetry and the literary works that challenge this model are analyzed from a perspective that considers the written word as a field of political action and the reconfiguration of the space of the distribution of the sensible in a community. To approach the literary work as a factor of disruption and dissent, we will study the literary work Ualalapi, by Mozambican writer Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, published in 1987 and its relations with official Mozambican historiography.

The hereby dissertation addresses the market surrounding autonomous publishers’ publications at Banca Tatuí (Tatui Newsstand), a newspaper stand repainted to look like a bookstore in Santa Cecília district in the city of São Paulo. Firstly introduced in 2014 by the Lot 42 publishers, João Varella and Cecilia Arbolave, this space currently holds works from over 200 partner producers. Besides the physical store, There is also a virtual store from Banca Tatuí, and on its social networks, there is a character who plays the role of a digital bookseller. For this research, we surveyed partner producers and categorized them to select the publishers who would compose our corpus. The criteria used to do so were: 1) geographic location; 2) to sell at the Tatuí Bank editorial objects considered stricto sensu books; 3) the number of titles available at the virtual store; 4) to also sell through its own virtual store and independent publication fairs. By these criteria, we were able to scope the corpus into the publishers: Nega Lilu Editora (Goiânia), Polvilho Edições (Belo Horizonte), and Editora Barbante (Curitiba). Semi-structured interviews with the publishers were made to start and later in-depth interviews with the booksellers, we aimed the dialogue of these multiple voices, to understand how the market of printed matter in the independent scene works and how the Tatuí Bank is a relevant sales point for these producers. Due to the great heterogeneity of the independent publications field, we brought study cases on selected partner publishers. Our discussion was theoretically based on the works of Pierre Bourdieu (passim) and José Muniz Jr. (2016). These provided us elements to understand how the market of symbolic goods and the independent publication field described in this thesis work in the graphic-publishing microcosm. Our partial conclusions point out that the Tatuí Bank is relevant as the partnership goes beyond the distribution of titles at the physical store, acting as a seal to enter a market and legitimization circuit.

This study aims to evaluate three books that are part of contemporary Brazilian fiction: Feliz Ano Novo originally published in 1975, by Rubem Fonseca, O Cheiro do Ralo (2002), by Lourenço Mutarelli and Favelost (2012), by Fausto Fawcett. The work starts from the concept of tragic, in which Gilles Deleuze appropriates Nietzschean philosophy in order to constitute, together with Clément Rosset's terrorist philosophy, the notion of terrifying as the operator of reading our corpus. To think about the crossings between literature and philosophy, we will adopt the Deleuzian practice of writing that makes aesthetic figures and conceptual characters slide over each other. Allied to the Barthesian writing, we proposethe referred texts inthe avaliationtobe understood as an opening to the outside, aconcept appropriated by Deleuze as the possibility of us tragically deterritorializingand territorializing ourselvesin the literary making.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to investigate the poetry of Augusto de Campos, which is composed of verbal, sound, and visual elements. This research, however, has mainly focused on the graphic-visual aspects of his poetic oeuvre. Surely, these elements are not separable and are integrated in the poem’s unity. However, this choice of analysis has aimed to prove that, in his poetry, although the verbal element is prevalent, it is organized through a graphic-visual structure. The purpose was to show how the visual elements are organized throughout his oeuvre and by which procedures they are placed in circulation within the poem. The processes in realization create a proximity among poems which in turn assemble groupings. The oeuvre itself, perceived as poet and structure, is constituted in this manner, but it was possible to form other groupings. As conceptual framework, the theories of concrete poetry and essays by Augusto de Campos himself were used, through which it was possible to show influence in his poetry. However, other broader references in Décio Pignatari, Fayga Ostrower, Flora Süssekind, Gonzalo Aguilar, Júlio Castañon Guimarães, and Rogério Barbosa da Silva have contributed to the analysis of the oeuvre and therefore reach another perspective for interpretation. Therefore, through a graphic analysis, this study has sought to describe how visual procedures organize the verbal layer of the poem. 

Cette recherche analyse la question des frontières, de l'exil et de la communauté dans  l’élaboration de l'écriture et de la production du film Era o Hotel Cambridge, réalisé par Eliane Caffé, scénarisé par Eliane Caffé, Inés Figueiró et Luiz Alberto de Abreu, avec la participation de différents groupes collectifs. Créé à partir d'un espace occupé par les sans-domicile-fixe, les réfugiés, les exilés, les migrants et les immigrants, par une communauté en construction, le film évoque des tensions esthétiques, politiques et sociales. Cette production essaie de comprendre la période appelée la «Retomada » du cinéma brésilien et les changements possibles d'un point de vue esthétique par le financement des productions filmiques. Les relations établies autour le processus de création du film sont associées à des concepts issus de réflexions philosophiques de Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Jean-Luc Nancy, Peter Pal Pélbart, Michel Agier et Marie-José Mondzain. L'espace et ses flux peuvent être délimités, perdus, oubliés ou reconfigurés. Dans ce contexte, les territoires  s'effacent et se refont en faisant face à des nouvelles significations. Le film analisé est compris comme un territoire constamment reconfiguré par les relations qui sont territorialisées et reterritorialisées dans le contexte du bâtiment occupé. L'espace offre différentes possibilités de communautés à travers lesquelles le processus créatif et les relations sont réorganisés.

O trabalho apresentado teve como objetivo investigar um projeto da Rede Municipal de Educação de Belo Horizonte (MG), fruto de políticas públicas de incentivo à leitura, denominado “Articuladores de Leitura”. No percurso de pesquisa buscou-se relacioná-lo ao processo de formação de leitores literários, entendendo os caminhos traçados para que o projeto tivesse êxito, desde sua concepção até a execução de ações dentro do espaço escolar. Para tal, foi adotada uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa, com pesquisa bibliográfica relacionada às temáticas investigadas e pesquisa em campo que favorecesse o acompanhamento não apenas do processo de formação dos sujeitos envolvidos nas formações (denominados “articuladores de leitura”) como também os desdobramentos da formação nas escolas de Ensino Fundamental da Rede Municipal de Educação de Belo Horizonte (RME-BH). Para o embasamento teórico e análise dos dados coletados foram utilizados como referenciais teóricos estudos relacionados à área da literatura, formação de mediadores, formação de leitores e leitura literária. No processo de pesquisa em campo, algumas facetas foram investigadas, como: o processo de organização da formação oferecida aos articuladores; a maneira como os encontros de formação foram conduzidos; a forma como os articuladores de leitura se apropriaram dessa formação; os percursos para implementação de um projeto institucional de fomento à leitura literária nas escolas e a contribuição da formação; os impactos desses projetos no processo de formação do leitor literário dentro das escolas. Nesse percurso investigativo, foi constatado que a formação oferecida aos articuladores possibilitou ampliação de seus conhecimentos relacionados a práticas de formação de leitores literários, apresentando metodologia e concepções teóricas que contribuíram para a formação de qualidade. Além disso, as formações proporcionaram, aos articuladores, momentos de trocas e discussão coletivas sobre a escrita e efetivação do projeto, aspecto culminante da proposta do “Articuladores de Leitura”. Constatou-se também que poucas escolas conseguiram construir e colocar em prática o projeto institucional dentro do prazo estipulado, tendo em vista situações como a troca de articulador dentro da escola e a falta de espaços e tempos para momentos coletivos de trocas e reflexões para encaminhamentos. Por fim, a partir da investigação nas escolas, identificou-se que há ainda muito que se avançar em relação a escrita e desenvolvimento de um projeto de fomento à leitura literária. Percebeu-se que ações institucionais contribuem para a formação dos estudantes, despertando a curiosidade e o desejo pela literatura. O uso de diversas estratégias favorece o desenvolvimento dos estudantes e amplia as possibilidades de leitura, formando-os como leitores literários. Entretanto, apesar da qualidade da proposta oferecida pela RME-BH e da formação ofertada junto ao CEALE, ainda é preciso articular estratégias para que haja momentos de reflexão coletiva na escola, bem como criação e efetivação conjunta de práticas de formação de leitores literários.

This study approaches the construction of Underground Heavy Metal and Punk scene individual's identities in the city of Belo Horizonte. Underground scene performs many artistic works: songs, lyrics, album covers, outfits, audiovisual productions, among others. Processes of identifying subjets take place through experiences across senses with signs, social coexistence and further aesthetic elements. To understand this personality formation dynamic, ''The Five Skins'', by Hundertwasser, was proposed: epidermis, attire, home, character, social and global environment. Identity is defined by thoughts,  coexistence and political views before social injustices. Its aesthetic displays doesn't differ from political expressions: they are forms of resistance and survival of a culture.

In this research, we aim to think about the technique –as a sign –in its constitutive power and its unfoldings, considering its complex multiplicity, its mechanisms of control, hegemony and appropriation. The examination will be carried out through a transcendental philosofical bias, based on the analysis of poems that sometimes anounce, sometimes denunciate a world of complex technological devices, which confer new meanings to languages and behaviors and give new forms to culture. Our main question is to study how the accelerated development and the advent of new techniques are shown in Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s –a poet that is essential to read to understand the 20th century’s forces and the ideas of modernity –writing. To this purpose we add that of investigating the link between Drummond’s poetry and its time and context: how Drummond interprets what he observes and experiences. His choice of words to talk about the verified changes and the tone he gives to his poems make him a special type of spectator of that time, able to announce and to critically analyze what was coming. Therefore, we aspire to explore Drummond’s poetry, articulating it with the escalation of technique and highlighting the anticipatory dimension of the machinations, listed by the poet.Although art does not support othercomposition than aesthetics and so the creative plan is always on focus, we do not deal here with the technique of poetry, but with the way Drummond –poet and character –approaches a century marked by the accelerated use of continuously improved technologies and their unfoldings.

This qualitative research aims at investigating the inclusive teaching of English underpinned by the perspectives of critical literacy and complexity theory. These theories were chosen considering their support in Applied Linguistics, as a transdisciplinary area, as well as their theoretical-practical confluences. Based on these confluences, English teachers and a support teacher have elaborated two sequences of activities together with the researcher. These activities were elaborated and implemented for students with disabilities enrolled in high school in two public schools, whose classes were taking place remotely due to the Pandemic of the New Coronavirus (COVID-19). In addition to the activities, this research has leaned on questionnaires and interviews for data generation and consequent analysis and discussion related to them. The results obtained through these instruments have showed that the teaching of English as an Inclusive Foreign Language presents several challenges. For instance, the dissociation of social and economic inequalities in the globalized world and English as a lingua franca; the lack of understanding of the school as a complex adaptive system; the stigmatization of disability and the lack of recognition of the limitations of the medical report at school. Meanwhile, the adoption of an inclusive perspective in the elaboration of activities, underpinned by Critical Literacy and Complexity Theory, has allowed the recognition of diversity and the right to difference; the evidence of students as individuals who are agents and autonomous in their learning; the importance of the use of new technologies and their affordances; the valorization of multiple languages use and the importance of nonlinearity and criticality for inclusion in the English class. Thus, the data showed that, although there were several challenges for an inclusive teaching of English, the teachers were able to resignify their conceptions and teaching practices toward students with disabilities.

This dissertation approaches the representation of women in the construction of the discourse that is perceived in the narrative and conceptual processes performed by the character Lara Croft, at the game franchise Tomb Raider. This research was based on the Grammar of Visual Design, which is mainly related to aspects of nonverbal language connecting technology to speech. The objective of this work is to identify the representation of women through the protagonist, it comprises a timeline
from 1996 to 2016, observing the changes of the character over 20 years time in terms of visual resources, and the discourses related to women involved in these representations. This dissertation was developed through a descriptive and interpretative qualitative research method, and has a historical background to establish the representation of women showed in the evolution of the composition of the protagonist`s image, which was based on three basic axes: the Social Semiotic Theory of language; the Critical Discourse Analysis; and the theory of social representations. The primary sources, composed by eleven games, present the object to be analyzed, Lara Croft. The corpus was delimited by the relevance of the character within the culture of the digital games as well as in other areas such as: cinema, comics and toys. All corpus games were played, protagonist actions were compiled in a catalogue, images were separated, and all of them were analyzed. The different semiotic modes and resources used in the composition of the character and her actions were identified and analyzed from the perspective of the Social Semiotic Theory of language focusing on the ideational metafunction, in order to perceive the semiotic potential produced by the signs, as well as the discursive senses presented by the elements in the representation of women. The results pointed out to the representation of an idealized woman who approaches the male universe, being an erotic, seductive, dangerous and empowered woman. She moves through both patterns desired by men as well as changes that come up in the society concerning female empowerment. It is important that the receivers of the message be aware of the discourses that are implicit in the images so that they will not consume entertainment in an uncritical way, thus allowing a break down of representations rooted in the society.

Within the current national educational scenario, the teaching of English in Brazil, in a certain way, seeks to establish an integration with digital technology. This leads the school to think students outside the classroom, focusing their role in society. As far as schools make this move, they facilitate the learning process, increase students´ expectation and success, make the curriculum meaningful and stimulate motivation, agency and autonomy development (KALANTZIS; COPE, 2010). In this way, learning is extended beyond the classroom and takes place anywhere at any time (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2008). Learner becomes agent of his/her own knowledge and connect learning to his/her own experiences and interests. In order to investigate autonomous students´ motivation departing from their beliefs and actions related to digital technology use to learn English outside school, this study proposed an applied nature research with qualitative approach and exploratory orientation, using a multiple case study design. The study was conducted at a private regular school in Sete Lagoas, MG/ Brazil, called SESI, from elementary and high school students who declared to use the internet as an autonomous English learning strategy, and accepted to participate. By analyzing a recorded semi-structured interview, applied to each participant: (1) students´ beliefs were elicited (2) students’ actions involving digital technology use to practice or learn English were identified; and (3) motivational elements emergent from the data were highlighted. These motivational elements influence on students´ probable learning was discussed. It was possible to verify that motivation and autonomy are totally inter-related and such inter-relation reflects on and upon students´ beliefs. It was realized that most autonomous students are also the most motivated ones. Students´ motivation enhance due to their outof-class learning success and this fact stimulates even further the progress of students´ autonomy development.

Globalization and internet popularization processes have profoundly affected the learning and
use of English as a foreign language (L2) in Brazil and around the world (TAVARES, 2015).
Our hypothesis is that there are new reasons to learn and use English in daily communication
exchanges and online social networking platforms like Facebook, for example, which
functions as an inviting environment for language research in general (PAGE et al., 2014;
DAVIES, 2015). The objective of this study was to investigate the reasons why non-native
English speakers seek to learn and/or use language nowadays, by evidencing the motivational
components present in language learning narratives. The theoretical foundation for this
research is on contributions of the motivational theory in Applied Linguistics in its sociodynamic
perspective, represented especially by Gardner's (2010), Dörnyei’s (2005; 2009;
2017), Dörnyei and Ushioda’s (2011), Dörnyei and Ryan’s (2015), and Bambirra’s (2009,
2016, 2017a; 2017b) work. This is an applied research, whose data collection was carried out
in the page Humans of All Accents, created on Facebook for the purposes of this research.
Narratives of English language learning and usage were analyzed by categories which were
created based on Dörnyei and Ryan (2015) and Dörnyei (2017), following the methodology
of L2 learning experiences proposed and consolidated in Brazil by Miccoli (1997-2018) and
associates. The results indicate that issues related to learners’ beliefs and feelings about
themselves (their self-concept) stand out on the other motivational influences. These identity
aspects are deeply contextualized in time and space, by means of internal and external events
and/or circumstances related to those who narrate their experiences (MICCOLI; BAMBIRRA
s/d). We conclude that motivation, as a dynamic experience, consists of experiences of
different natures that nestle together (MICCOLI; LIMA, 2012), forming and theoretically
expanding what Dörnyei (2009; 2011) understands as motivational constellations,
conglomerates or amalgams.

The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries witnessed major changes in how we interact and communicate, largely due to the use of digital technology. With its democratization, the ways in which people produce meaning in social practices also change (KRESS, 2006). In this context, Kalantzis and Cope (2009) and Cope and Kalantzis (2010) remark the emergence of Participatory Generation in schools, due to the agentive and autonomous posture assumed increasingly by students, breaking with the traditional authoritarian teaching paradigm, centered on the teacher, according to which teaching is knowledge transferring. In order to understand the production of meaning currently made by adolescent students in the interior of Minas Gerais, this research, of an applied nature, qualitative approach and exploratory orientation, was proposed in a multicase study format. We have the voluntary participation of nine English students between 12 and 16 years old, enrolled in a private English course in Matozinhos/MG. The data collection process comprehended: the production of two home videos, created in English by the participants, in two moments - beginning and end of the semester; as well as the collection of a semi-structured interview with each participant, at the end of the semester. We sought to identify with the data analysis: (1) how each literacy manifested itself in the videos; (2) whether the participants developed multiliteracies and, if so, how and at what knowledge process of the pedagogy of design; and also (3) whether participants can be recognized as belonging to the Participatory Generation. When comparing videos 1 and 2, it was possible to notice that, in general, in the elaboration of video 1, participants failed to observe the main characteristics of the genre ‘personal profile’ and its conditions of textual production in video format, favoring the linguistic mode of representation. After experiencing the processes of knowledge (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2012; 2015): 'experiencing', 'conceptualizing' and 'analyzing', in which they had feedback from their colleagues, participants produced video 2. In this production, they used all other modes of representation (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006), in a more balanced way in relation to the use of the linguistic mode, surpassing, to a greater or lesser extent, the deficiencies of the previous production. Finally, it was verified that, in the case of this research, the knowledge process that more broadly fostered multiliteracies development was 'analyzing'. It was through it that the participants consolidated the theoretical knowledge built in the phases of 'experiencing' and 'conceptualizing'. This seems to make evident the singular importance of reflection to learning a foreign language, as defended, among many others, Arruda and Bambirra (2008) and Bambirra (2009). Furthermore, it was possible to characterize the participants as representatives of the Participatory Generation, since all of them presented at least four of the six characteristics that define the concept, according to pre-established criteria of analysis.

The activities of selection, organization, hierarchization and construction of coherent narratives concern the work of a curator, a profession that arose connected to the visual arts in environments such as museums and galleries. In contemporary times, such practice, which still lacks bibliographic delimitation and even recognition (as in Brazil), was appropriated by several areas, such as the Editing field.The purpose of this study is to understand aspects of the work of a curator in order to assist the demarcation of a territory of action and, at the same time, to observe how a Literature event, more specifically the Fórum das Letras de Ouro Preto, uses important elements to curation to congregate activities that bring together exponents of Literature and many other cultural activities. Our text is structured in eight chapters. In the first four chapters we present a historical and current panel of curation. In the fifth, we present the methodological trajectories; and in the last three chapters we observed the Fórum in the context of Literature events in Brazil, reconstructing the memory of the event and observing, from a transdisciplinary perspective, the appropriation of curation in the practices of this literary festival. The study was developed from a qualitative and exploratory approach, which involved the techniques of bibliographic research (especially regarding curation) and a case study, undertaken from an in-depth and semi-structured interview with the founder and curator of the event of the city of Ouro Preto/Brazil. At the end, and based on our analysis of the curation of the Forum das Letras, we identified how the event is endowed with curatorial power as an intellectual, creative and integrative work among diverse semiotic systems. At the same time, we traced the paths of contemporary curation, which increasingly opens the way for dialogue between disciplines and enables future appropriations, especially in literary and editorial spaces.

The subject of this research is enunciative subjectivity. Its general objective is to analyze in the materiality of the written text the linguistic marks responsible for making explicit evaluations or comments formulated on elements of the thematic content, based on the hypothesis that every empirical text is marked by linguistic traits representative of the decisions taken by the agent -producer, triggered by the communicative situation. To this end, the linguistic modifying units were analyzed as evidence of the representations of the enunciators, in the elaboration of the textual genre Police Report produced in formative instance (military school).The texts that were part of the corpus were produced and collected in two distinct didactic stages: writing and rewriting steps. For the analysis of the data, we adopted the theoretical and methodological framework of Sociodiscursive Interactionism (BRONCKART, 1999, 2006, 2008), specifically regarding the third level of textual architecture, that is, at the level of declarative accountability mechanisms. In the course of analysis, we aim to: a) compare the texts from the initial stage with those from the final stage, to identify whether there was an increase, reduction, maintenance or absence of the logical, deontic, appreciative and pragmatic modifications; b) analyze the movements of increase, reduction, maintenance or absence of the marks of modifications in the texts produced in the two stages, seeking to raise hypotheses that justify the decisions made by the agent-producer; c) analyze the contributions of modifying brands to the identification of the social role that the agent-producer plays in the interlocutive act; d) list the strategies of declarative departure found in the corpus and compare them with the strategies of approximation triggered by the linguistic modifying marks, in order to obtain other data that contribute to the understanding about the process of construction of the social profile of the agent-producer. We observed that the texts produced in the final stage registered a greater number of linguistic modifying marks indicative of the social profile played by the agent-producer in the interlocutive act and, above all, provided important data to understand some unfolding of the production process of a textual genre Police Report whose writing practice was not known by the students participating in the research, since they were still in the stage of preparation for the effective practice of military work. We conclude that the writing and rewriting practices of the texts have been efficient in the process of writing skills of the Police Report and that there is a need to implement, in the discipline that works the said genre, teaching practices that lead the student to use the modalizations as an argumentative strategy.

Fanfictions can be defined as fictional stories created, edited and published by fans in digital environments, called fandoms. The people interested in this practice write collaboratively and create narratives that combine different languages. From this process of writing emerge strategies of texts editing that contribute in the release of the stories published. These strategies were used as baseline for the creation of a dynamics of collaborative writing, which was proposed and executed in a languages class. Therefore, this dissertation analyzes the texts produced by the students and their perceptions about the adaptation of this practice to the school enviroment. In order to investigate if the hypothesis that considers the viability of the transposition of fanfictions processes into a school environment can be confirmed. The methodological follow the guidelines of Minayo (2007) and Hissa (2012) about research and creative methodologies. The theoretical reference of this study is based mainly on the theoretical ones that deal with the fanfictions (ALVES, 2015, PARIS, 2018, JENKINS, 2015, VARGAS, 2005), the New Literacies (SOARES, 2004, KLEIMAN, 2010; STREET, 2012) and Collaborative Writing (PINHEIRO, 2011, CARVALHO, 2015, PAIVA, 2014 and LOWRY, 2004). Theresults and analyzes show that a strategy of collaborative writing based on fanfictions production methods is an efficient education tool, because it contributed significantly to the textual production of the students. The conclusions also point out that the different interaction among the students, provided by the stages of the dynamics, reshaped their positions in the processes of collaborative writing, in order to generate a greater engagement in the production of the texts. A circle of textual production, as a result of the interpretations constructed by the research, also contributes to the confirmation of the hypothesis of this study, showing that it is possible to transpose the processes of fanfictions production to the classroom and obtain significant results.

Based on the existing gaps in Brazilian publishing history, in the Brazilian literary canon and in the Brazilian publishing market, and invoking perspectives from other areas, this study provides an overview of the genre poetry, as produced by Afro-Brazilian authors, focusing on their individual production to then, based on them, establishing analyses arranged by topics like the relationship between the author and the amount of his individual publications; periods and frequency of their publications; number of copyright publications per publishing house and geospatial distribution of such publications in Brazil, aiming to understand the evolutionary trajectory of black/Afro-Brazilian poetry, beyond editorial and, even, social dynamics that enable their emergence, production and circulation.

This dissertation presents a study of narratives of people who are or have already been in a homeless situation in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, mainly based on Benedictus Spinoza's theory of affections, relating it to the concept of care of the self discussed by Michel Foucault. The objective was to describe and analyze seven narratives, verifying if they express characteristics related to "freedom" and "care of the self". After analyzing the narratives, we identified three themes that led to the chapters of this dissertation: passive affections and their relationship with care of the self; the freedom of affection and the care of the self and the other; the "street’s no place" and the affection of those who inhabit it. The research was applied in nature with a qualitative approach. Ethical criteria were used in research with human beings, according to Resolution No. 196/96 of the National Health Council. After the preliminary interview, it was considered not to be more relevant, in view of the objectives of this dissertation, to make use of a script with questions. In the light of Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet, it is understood that an interview in the form of a conversation could be more fruitful with the interviewees, with only one pre-established question about the participant's life history. Thus, it was sought to perceive the care of the self and the affections in the narratives through meetings that could favor the access to the multiplicities, and thus to go beyond the already constructed criteria about the people who are or who already were in homeless situation.

This research proposes as a theme the investigation of how the actions of the mediators of reading in the school library contribute to the formation of literary readers at elementary school. The basic objective is to dialogue with the theoretical and practical conceptions that support the formation of readers in this school phase, taking into account the processes of literacy, literary literacy and multiliteracies in school practice. The theoretical frame is based on a sociocultural and anthropological conception of literacy, extended to the concept of multiliteracies. The target audience to this study will be students of the third level of elementary school in a public and private school in Contagem city, Minas Gerais. As methodology, a case study is proposed. For data collection and analysis, the observation of mediation of reading in the school library, the analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews will be used. The main theoretical and relevant references adopted, by the concern about the democratization of reading, are represented here by Soares (2002, 2011), Lajolo (2003, 2008) and Paulino (2004, 2010). This study points to the relevance of knowing the reality of schools, the daily life of the school library, the reading practices developed in this space, the subjects involved in the process of formation of readers and what actions are carried out in the school library that contribute to the formation of small readers.

The widespread use of digital commercial games by people of all ages today gives relevance to
their study in the area of Applied Linguistics to learning English as a foreign language. Outside
of Brazil, renowned researchers have been working on this topic for decades now (Gee, 2003;
2007, Thorne; Black; Sykes, 2009, Thorne; Fischer, 2012, among many others). Taking for
granted the Brazilian context, in an attempt to face the challenge, this thesis aims to: (1) analyze
a game experience lived by a 10-year-old student of English as a foreign language at the basic
level when playing Scribblenauts Unmasked; and (2) discuss the use of the foreign language
made by her in achieving goals of the game. This research proposed in a case study format, has
an applied nature, qualitative approach and exploratory character. The data were generated by
means of screen capture of a gameplay session and the recording of a semi-structured interview,
in an audio file format. During the interview, the participant reviewed his game experience and
explained the choice of words and expressions made in trying to achieve game goals. In the
analysis phase, the participant's gaming experience was described, with the intention of
verifying the occurrence of episodes of probable incidental learning of English. From the
emerging content, based on the framework of formal learning experiences of English as a
foreign language proposed by Miccoli (Miccoli, Bambirra, Vianini, 2019), some preliminary
categories of foreign language incidental learning through videogames were created and
validated externally. By using the new categories, it was possible to raise and discuss the nature
of the learning undertaken by the participant, what broadens the scope of Brazilian experiential
research (Miccoli, 1997-2019) once it opens reflection and discussion about learning through
digital games. Finally, it could also be verified that the game Scribblenauts Unmasked has
potential to contribute to the learning of vocabulary in English, and can be used in both formal
and informal learning circumstances.

Este estudo apresenta uma análise discursiva sobre as estratégias de edição de um programa feminista. Partindo da produção do Programa Mulhere-se da Rede Minas de TV, uma TV pública do Estado de Minas Gerais. Foi proposto um estudo de caso sobre um episódio representativo da série, que aborda o manifesto “Uma por minuto” em que seis entrevistadas, se revezam em declarações a respeito do assunto, construindo, portanto, as projeções etóticas e seus imaginários nas falas. Nos interessa entender também o modo de organização discursiva do episódio, conforme o tratamento dado pela edição. Para entendermos as escolhas e estratégias de edição, vamos analisar, sob as mesmas categorias de análise o material bruto referente ao episódio em questão. Partimos do referencial teórico e metodológico da análise de discurso, a partir da Semiolinguística de Charaudeau (2010), de onde selecionamos como categorias de análise, principais, os imaginários sociodiscursivos e os modos de organização discursiva, além da categoria do ethos, a partir de Maingueneau (2014). Queremos entender as diferenças marcantes entre o material bruto e o editado para encontrar pistas sobre alinhamento ideológico ou a identificações feministas específicas. O Programa Mulhere-se considera-se o primeiro programa feminista do Brasil. Os feminismos são múltiplos e diversificados, possuindo diversas correntes de pensamento e práticas diferentes. Qual a imagem de feminismo e feminista que é projetado pelo Programa feminista? Para isso, analisamos tanto das falas das entrevistadas, quanto o enredamento dado no episódio editado. Ao buscar entender se o discurso do programa é abarca a multiplicidade de representações e vozes, chegamos à conclusão de há uma tendência a alguns feminismos específicos e se evitam outros, assim como podemos perceber que as crenças, experiências e saberes são mobilizados de forma a legitimar certas falas, e construir um argumento. Além do referencial teórico e metodológico, abordaremos o conhecimento produzido sobre os feminismos, sobre televisão e sobre os processos de edição televisiva.

This reseach intends to study the practice of Editora Sabiá, publisherhouse founded in 1967 by the writers Rubem Braga and Fernando Sabino. During itsshort existence it published a series of national and foreign authors, gathering aseries of characteristics that made it possible to project into the cultural scenary ofBrazil. Bringing together a set of theories about symbolic capitals, the editorialmarket, editorial History and Brazilian literature, the cultural production as a meetingfactor for intellectuals, the study envolves different areas (literature, editing,journalism, Brazilian culture) aiming a clearer and more objective comprehensionthan meant by two prestigious writers work in the publishing industry, demonstratingthe interference of the support and the editing in the literary reception by thereadership.

In the present work, we will immerse ourselves in the intimate space of feelings and memories, because the life narrative (self-narrative) does not represent the mere materialization of the speech, but, in addition, it’s the modeling of the world, of the other and of who takes the floor.Therefore, the central proposal of our investigation is to understand the process of transposition of the saying to the discourse through the life narratives of the visually impaired person.Life narratives, Semiolinguistic Theory, argumentative dimension, ethos and identity facets are the basic theoretical frameworks of this study.Through a careful reflection, we question whether the narratives of themselves and the discursive strategies mobilized in them allow us to observe the construction of a framework for the lived experiences and the reconfiguration of the identity of the subjects with visual impairment from the examination of enunciative linguistic markers evidenced in the reports.To answer this question, four semi-structured interviews will be carried out for people with visual impairment, aged between 20 and 65 years.With an average of at most (one) 01 hour of duration, the interviews will be recorded and transcribed for the elaboration of the data analyzes.The interview will cover six specific themes in which the interviewed will be invited to reflect and talk about: life (childhood, adolescence and adulthood), relationships (affective relations), school and professional trajectory, inclusion and accessibility, public policies and the social context, historical and cultural of adversities.Our hypothesis meets the premise that the visual deficient, by assuming the direction of his voice, would pass through the sphere of the senses and could be able to produce, by means of a constituent enunciator subject, a discourse that would manifest an opposing position to stereotypical crystallizations, creating, finally, identity marks of resistance and reconfiguration of its image.

This research deals with Lifelong Education (FLV) in teaching. This topic was researched with the purpose of investigating how it is and what were the benefits of the teacher's FLV in their pedagogical practices through narratives, starting from their capacity of agency on what they want to learn. The theoretical foundation of this research is based on the notion of lifelong education (FERREIRA 2012, MEIRIEU, 2005; MERLE, 2006) that carries the idea that the central post of the professional or personal training course is occupied by the subject himself (in this specific case, the in-service teacher), who has autonomy and awareness about what he or she chooses to learn, without feeling forced by external demands from the labor world and the education system. Thus, his or her interests and desires converge on the logic of self-realization and his/her motivation comes from the emancipation projects that he/she establishes for his/her development in life and work. Therefore, this research aimed to identify moments dedicated to the FLV of the researched teachers, through life narratives. The choice of narratives as an instrument of data generation is justified by providing centrality to the issuer, thus, in direct contact with their experiences and life and career experiences. Given the characteristics of the type of investigation and in function of the data that make up the corpus of the research, we chose to develop a qualitative research from the perspective of the case study, considering that it is an investigation into filling knowledge gaps left in the initial teacher education and make a difference in their teaching practice. From the description of the problem, solutions were sought in the literature. As a result of the research, we observed that even without receiving professional encouragement from the state of Minas Gerais to undertake efforts in continuing education, the teachers provided practical aspects of the profession to meet this need, although they did not neglect the importance of academic studies. Thus, we contribute with this work to draw attention to the importance of valuing teacher education within the profession in conjunction with postgraduate academic education.

This research proposes a reading of Michel Laub’s novel (2011), Diário da queda, reflecting upon the relations between literature, memory and oblivion. This study aims at investigating the presence of the different memories in the book validated through temporal transit across various subjects, contexts, experiences: by trauma, by objects, by writings, by the senses. Furthermore, it is important to think about the signs of silence, considering the interactions that say a lot even not using words. It is worth mentioning the forms of oblivion that will be analyzed: Auschwitz, which concerns the experiences in the concentration camp, silenced, possibly as a strategy to proceed despite traumatic stories experienced/observed; Alzheimer – the narrator’s grandfather receives this diagnosis, and his memory then goes through a process of destruction due to illness. As a power in the building of the narrative, the lack of memory takes place in many levels, including the familiar context, working as a connective of tenses, having in silence, a refuge, a way to hide the experiences, the undesirable histories and the feelings that are still there after the events. The existence of the gaps is the aspect that moves the narrator and makes him pass through memories, having in the past, present and future, support. The writing used by grandfather, father and grandchild as a way of generating and communicating memory. Thinking about these three movements, verifying how to remember, how to keep silent and how to forget are worked in the novel, the structure of the work will be developed, woven of notes and theoretical foundation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the former president Dilma
Rousseff’s female identity discoursive construction at the speeches she
gave during the period in which she was provisionally removed from office
due to the impeachment process. To that end, as a methodological
contribution will be used the Patrick Charaudeau’s Semiolinguistic,
especially the concepts involving political discourse and ethos. In
addition, the notion of Silence (ORLANDI, 1995) will be used. In this way,
it is intended to observe if a specific ethos was constructed for the woman
in a leadership situation in a moment of political fragility, as well as to
analyze the presence or not of the evocation of the feminine in the
mediatic scene in which the discourses of the former presidente happened.
