É uma dissertação sobre Análise do Discurso aplicada às teorias de Patrick Chauradeau, focando especialmente a noção de imaginário lingüístico / This dissertation - whose title is "Imaginary on the Portuguese Language and his/her teaching in Balsas-MA", - he/she has as objective investigates the methods for the which the teaching of the Portuguese Language is accomplished in Brazil, especially in the city-field, Balsas-MA. The theme was accomplished under the orientation of Oliveira's Prof. Dr. Helênio, of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro. What motivated the decision of investigating that theme was the fact that a lot of difficulties are found by the teachers in the teaching process. In the chapter 1, an abbreviation historical of the city of Balsas is presented. The chapter 2 is on the theoretical presuppositions adopted in the work, where the related concepts the "imaginary" is discussed. In the third chapter we described the used methodology, in a clear and concise way. In the chapters 4 and 5, the corpus - a group of interviews with local teachers is analyzed, with the objective of describing the attitudes and those teachers' faiths to the Portuguese Language as maternal language and his/her teaching. It is a dissertation on Analysis of the Speech applied to Patrick Chauradeau's theories, especially focusing the notion of imaginary linguistic

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A presente dissertaÃÃo tem por objeto de investigaÃÃo o trabalho de interpretaÃÃo das fontes medievais realizado por Alexandre Herculano na composiÃÃo de âA Dama PÃ-de-cabraâ, visto que a narrativa recupera parte do imaginÃrio medieval presente no texto genealÃgico. Como resultado da tentativa de recriaÃÃo do modo medieval de se perceber a realidade, os espaÃos e personagens da narrativa simbolizam e marcam uma concepÃÃo de mundo medieval, ilustrada, por vezes, pela presenÃa do sobrenatural ao longo da histÃria. à de interesse desta dissertaÃÃo, portanto, apontar em que medida a perspectiva romÃntica do autor altera ou retoma os significados medievais que subjazem à estrutura da narrativa. Por fim, outro ponto investigado ao longo desta dissertaÃÃo serà o modo como o dualismo do pensamento medieval entre o sagrado e o profano, centro e periferia, campo e cidade, masculino e feminino sÃo recuperados e estruturam o comportamento das personagens da narrativa. Os eventos de carÃter maravilhoso presentes na histÃria seriam uma resultante do enfrentamento entre esses pares opostos. Parte desse duelo ocorre em espaÃos ermos ou silvestres que coincidem com as manifestaÃÃes do sobrenatural em algumas cenas; fato que permite cogitar uma provÃvel relaÃÃo existente entre espaÃos selvagens e a ocorrÃncia de eventos maravilhosos no enredo. As anÃlises desses elementos narrativos serÃo amparadas pela perspectiva da mentalidade e do imaginÃrio, termos cunhados e desenvolvidos ao longo da dÃcada de 60 pelos participantes da HistÃria das Mentalidades, da qual se destacam os nomes de Jacques Le Goff e Georges Duby. Os conceitos dessa vertente histÃrica permitem aproximaÃÃes com a Literatura, de modo que os elementos dispostos na virtualidade do texto literÃrio e suas relaÃÃes internas sÃo investigados dentro de uma rede sutil de representaÃÃes que permitem recuperar e interpretar parte dos significados das fontes subjacentes ao trabalho literÃrio, tais quais espaÃo, tempo e personagens e o modo como essas estruturas se relacionam no enredo da narrativa. / This dissertation has as investigative goal the work of interpretation of medieval sources done by Alexander Herculano while composing âThe Lady with the Cloven Hoofâ. It is seen that the narrative recovers part of the medieval imaginary present in the genealogical text. As result of trying to recreate the medieval way of noticing reality, the settings and characters of the narrative simbolize and mark a conception of medieval world, ilustrated sometimes by the presence of supernatural phenomena through the story. Therefore, it is the interest of this dissertation to point out which measurement of the authorâs romantic perspective alters or retakes the medieval meanings that imply the narrativeâs structure. Eventually, another investigated point through this work will be the way that the dualism of medieval thought between the sacred and the profane, center and periphery, countryside and city, male and female are retrivied and structure characterâs behavior from the narrative. The events of fantastic marvelous character present in the story would be a result of the confrontation between these opposite pairs. Part of this duel occurs in desolated or wild settings that coincide with the manifestation of supernatural phenomena in some moments; fact that allows pondering a probable relation between wild settings and the occurrence of fantastic marvelous events in the plot. The analysis of these narrative elements will be sustained by the perspective of the mentality and of the imaginary, terms coined and developed through the 60s by the participants of History of Mentalities, which features names such as Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby. The concepts of this historical trend allow aproximations to Literature, as a way that the elements ordered in the virtuality of the literary text and its intern relations are investigated inside of a subtle web of representations that allow retrieving and interpreting part of the meanings of implied sources to the literary work, such as setting, time, characters and the way how these structures relate in the narrativeâs plot.

Kinematical indeterminate linkages are ones whose complete set of instant centers cannot be obtained graphically by the Kennedy¡¦s theorem. This article aims to graphically obtained the solutions for some of such linkages, using a concept of introducing a imaginary link, while not altering the degree of freedom, called imaginary link method. It is also possible to combine this scheme with Pennock¡¦s method to achieve greater applicability.

This essay focuses on a postmodern reading of An Imaginary Life by David Malouf. It argues that language is a central theme in the novel and that Ovid’s transformation corresponds to his changing attitude towards different languages. According to Karin Hansson, Ovid’s transformation is divided into three stages. First, he longs for Latin, then he acquires Getic and in the end he seeks the languages of nature. The essay shows that stage two, Ovid’s acquisition of Getic, induces the deconstruction of the traditional high culture-low culture dichotomy in the novel. Language is understood as a representative of culture, and when Ovid considers Getic equal to Latin, the distinction between high culture and low culture collapses. Stage three, Ovid’s relationship with the wild child and his acquisition of the instinctive languages of nature, leads to the deconstruction of the animal-human dichotomy. The facts that the wild child transcends animality by gaining language and that Ovid wants to overcome human languages and immerse himself in nature promote a non-binary and multifaceted understanding of the human-animal relationship. To confirm its argument, the essay draws on Jacques Derrida’s ideas of language as well as his notions of the animal-human relationship.

Commissioned by Sir Thomas Beecham for the Ballets Russes, during their London season, but ultimately completed and premiered in the United States, The Warriors - Music to an Imaginary Ballet is Grainger’s most ambitious and experimental orchestral composition. Written in a traditional full score format, by the time it was published ten years later, The Warriors had been altered to conform to Grainger’s unique compressed score layout. The concessions and omissions needed for such a drastic alteration were not true to the composer’s ideas. Along with a comprehensive historical introduction to the work, the notion of the compressed score is placed into the context of Grainger’s own scoring methods, as well as the greater context of avant-garde score layout in the twentieth century. A detailed chronology of The Warriors autograph and printed sources provides a working model of how a ms. study of Grainger’s music may be undertaken. 2 vols. xi +124 pp., 5 illustrations, 45 examples, bibliography, discography, appendices. Full orchestral score and critical commentary, 125pp. (A3), with additional programme note, composer’s analysis, notes to conductors, list of instrumentation and CD recording of edition’s premiere performance.

Dans des contextes communs de guerres et de révolutions scientifiques, les représentations qui fondent, et parfois hantent, l’imaginaire d’auteurs de l’époque baroque et du début du vingtième siècle présentent des similitudes. Images d’un monde renversé, où les espaces, les êtres et les instants se reflètent, où l’instabilité et la mutabilité sont des lois régissant toute chose, les scènes et décors des trois œuvres du corpus se substituent à l’harmonie du monde, celle du Créateur, telle que la Bible la décrit. Espace, personnages, temps vécu apparaissent à travers un prisme qui renvoie à leurs doubles, diffractés, reflétés d’abord dans la machine de la mémoire involontaire. La réalité se change dès lors en réalités, les lieux en impressions d’un ailleurs, les amis en chimères, tous faisant l’objet d’études et d’interprétations sans cesse réévaluées. Dans une écriture où les vues s’accumulent et se superposent, Marcel Proust et Virginia Woolf n’en finissent pas de prolonger les impressions, circonvolutions, arabesques qui diffèrent sans cesse la conclusion du récit, au profit du spectacle d’événements sensibles et de voyages de héros à travers les strates du temps vécu. Personnages en mouvement, Orlando et le Narrateur courent à la recherche de la chair du temps, qu’ils semblent trouver dans leur ombre et dans le frisson d’un instant, selon des modalités extatiques que Le Bernin ou Le Caravage ont représentées dans leur art respectif. Faits de mondes d’apparences, d’illusions, Sodome et Gomorrhe, Le Temps retrouvé ou Orlando ne sont pourtant pas des textes faisant l’apologie du scepticisme et du renoncement à une certaine forme d’essence : encore faut-il qu’elle soit éclatante et advienne dans la beauté d’une image qui traduise la coïncidence d’une vision éphémère et d’une création poétique offerte aux temps à venir. / In common contexts of wars and scientific revolutions, the representations that melt, and sometimes haunt, the imaginary of writers of the Baroque and early twentieth century are similar. Images of an inverted world, where spaces, beings and moments are reflected, where instability and mutability are laws governing everything, the scenes and scenery of the three works of the corpus replace the harmony of the world that of the Creator, as the Bible describes it.Space, characters, lived time appear through a prism that refers to their double, diffracted, reflected first in the machine of involuntary memory. Reality is then changed into realities, places into impressions of an elsewhere, friends in chimeras, all subject to studies and interpretations constantly reevaluated.In a writing where views accumulate and overlap, Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf endlessly prolong the impressions, convolutions, arabesques that constantly differ the conclusion of the story, in favor of the spectacle of sensitive events and hero journeys through the strata of lived time.Characters in motion, Orlando and the Narrator run in search of the flesh of time, which they seem to find in their shadow and in the thrill of a moment, according to ecstatic modalities that Bernini or Caravaggio represented in their art respective.Facts of worlds of appearances, of illusions, Sodom and Gomorrah, The Time found or Orlando are not however texts making the apology of the skepticism and the renunciation of a certain form of essence: it is still necessary that it be brilliant and come into the beauty of an image that reflects the coincidence of an ephemeral vision and a poetic creation offered to the times to come.

Orientador: Odete Pacubi Baierl Teixeira / Banca: Maria Lúcia Vital dos Santos Abib / Banca: Marco Aurelio Alvarenga Monteiro / Resumo: O estágio curricular supervisionado possibilita momentos de reflexões que contribui para a aprendizagem docente. Isso por que as relações estabelecidas com diferentes agentes nesse espaço formativo interagem com o imaginário do futuro professor. Nesse contexto, o estudo que apresentamos visa analisar como o imaginário sobre o discurso escolar de um licenciando em física se manifesta e se articula nas escolhas didáticas do licenciando. Entende-se aqui por imaginário sobre o discurso escolar, as representações mentais que um licenciando estabelece sobre si, sobre o outro (alunos, outros licenciandos da mesma turma, professores da escola, professor da disciplina de estágio, monitor da disciplina de estágio etc.) e sobre as instituições (escola, família, Estado), manifestadas no discurso do licenciando. O objetivo é compreender como as relações de poder, a construção de identidade, o processo de autoria e as relações de alteridade se articulam na construção dessas representações, que compõem o imaginário do licenciando. Analisamos dezenove relatos em diário de campo produzidos por um licenciando durante as atividades de estágio no âmbito da disciplina anual "Prática de ensino e estágio supervisionado II", componente curricular de um curso de licenciatura em física. Verificamos que a identidade docente, o processo de autoria e as relações de poder e de alteridade estabelecidas entre o licenciando e o outro são interdependentes, móveis e articuladas pelo licenciando dialeticamente ...

This is because the relationships established with different actors in this training space interact with the imagination of future teachers. In this context, the study presented aims to analyze how the imagery about educational discourse of a physics teacher in pre-service training interferes in their teaching strategies. It is understood here imaginary about educational speech, mental representations a physics teacher in pre-service training about himself, and on the other (students, other licensees in the same class, school teachers, professor, monitor etc.) and institutions (school, family, state), expressed in his discourse. The goal is to understand how the power relations, the construction of identity, the authoring process and relations of otherness are articulated in the construction of these representations, which make up his imaginary. We analyzed nineteen reports on field diary produced by a physics teacher in pre-service training during the training activities within the annual discipline "Prática de Ensino e Estágio Supervisionado II" curricular component of a degree course in physics. We found that the teacher identity, the process of authorship and power relations and otherness established between physics teacher in pre-service training and the other are interdependent, furniture and dialectically articulated by the intern on the mobilizations of the images about the educatio...

Esta dissertação caminha pelas fotografias premiadas na última década (2005-2015) do World Press Photo para discutir os aspectos contemporâneos da produção fotojornalística. O substrato teórico parte do sistema imaginário de Gilbert Durand e da complexidade de Edgar Morin para encontrar a epistemologia do jornalismo e da fotografia com autores como Vilém Flusser, Philippe Dubois e Roland Barthes. Percebemos uma inclinação na produção recente do fotojornalismo em produzir narrativas mais elaboradas e simbólicas em lugar das tendências no final do século XX, como a estética do choque a foto flagrante. A hipótese é que os fotojornalistas recentemente prefiram apostar na produção simbólica para não reduzir os acontecimentos a dados informativos. / This text walks through the winner photographies in the last decade (2005-2015) of the World Press Photo to discuss contemporary aspects of photojournalistic production. From the theoretical basis of Gilbert Durand’s imaginary system and Edgar Morin’s complex thought, we find the epistemology of journalism and photography with authors like Vilém Flusser, Philippe Dubois and Roland Barthes. We noticed a shift in the recent production of photojournalism by the elaboration of more narrative and symbolic pieces rather than late XXth century trends as the aesthetics of shock and photo flagrant. The hypothesis is that the recently photojournalists prefer to bet on symbolic production to not reduce the complexity of the events into informative data.

For children, high quality friendships are associated with adaptive social, emotional and academic functioning. There is also evidence that children experience real and imaginary friendships in similar ways, and that imagined relationships could have an impact on development. However, less is known about the relationships made possible by virtual agents in digital media. This dissertation research was designed to provide preliminary data about children’s concepts of virtual agents, and the social opportunities they attribute to such entities. In Studies 1 and 2 (combined N = 48), preschool aged children differentiated the social affordances of a stuffed dog and a virtual dog. Participants played a game in which they guessed whether a child in a video was referring to a stuffed dog or a virtual dog in a series of statements. Items designed to assess high quality friendships, such as comfort, protection and love, were attributed more to the stuffed dog than the virtual dog. Studies 3 and 4 examined adult and child concepts of a virtual child, and how concepts of this entity might differ from a real child, a child on a video chat program (e.g., Skype™) and an inanimate doll. Adults and children attributed a range of properties to each child agent, including biological, psychological and social properties, as well as opportunities for relationships. In Study 3 (N = 144), adults did not differentiate between the virtual child and the doll on the social property; however, they favored the doll on opportunities for unilateral relationships. In Study 4 (N = 30), five to eight-year-old children indicated an overall preference for the doll on the social property, as well as on opportunities for reciprocal relationships. Children also favored the doll on opportunities for love, companionship, and intimate disclosure. Altogether, these findings suggest that virtual agents afford more limited social opportunities than inanimate artifacts, and they are less likely to be loved by children and adults alike. These results raise important questions about the design goals for virtual agents, and the functions they are intended to serve in our everyday lives. This dissertation includes both previously published and co-authored material.
