Avsikten med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken funktion mat har i romantrilogin Hungerspelen samt vilket budskap som därmed förmedlas genom maten som symbol. Med hjälp av Hans Biedermanns Symbollexikonet tokas de olika råvaror som förekommer i maten i Hungerspelen för att därefter analyseras med hjälp av teorier från Umberto Eco och Roman Jakobson. UNdersökningen viasr att maten används för att symbolisera flera olika relationer eller identiteter, inte sällan med sexuella undertomer. Flera av råvarorna har också metalingvistiska funktioner och kan därmed sägas skapa bilder i bilden. De budskap som förmedlas genom maten är främst ett ifrågasättande av ung kvinnlighet och vad det innebär samt vad en uppdelnig i vi och dem kan leda till.

Esta pesquisa consiste na tradução do Canto VI do poema didático-filosófico De rerum natura, do poeta latino Lucrécio (séc. I a.C.) e na análise de três fragmentos do canto, segundo o conceito de função poética de Roman Jakobson, o mais importante linguista do Formalismo Russo. Esta epopeia romana trata da natureza, composta toda de átomos e de vazio, segundo a doutrina do filósofo grego Epicuro (séc. III a. C.). A filosofia epicurista da natureza, sua física, tinha uma particularidade especial, o atomismo, conceito materialista que tem no De rerum natura a sua maior e melhor fonte. Assim, foi feito um apanhado sobre a vida e obra do poeta, de acordo com historiadores da literatura latina e com alguns especialistas sobre o poeta. Em seguida, elencamos os pontos importantes da trajetória científica de Jakobson e suas pesquisas intimamente relacionadas com o conceito de função poética: a fonologia, as pesquisas sobre afasia infantil (donde deriva sua revisão da metáfora e da metonímia) e sobre as funções da linguagem. Com isso, temos o conceito de função poética, seus tópicos mais importantes e exemplos de estudos de Jakobson sobre poemas de Dante, Edgar Allan Poe e Charles Baudelaire. Finalmente, são analisados fragmentos dos tópicos De tonitru (O trovão) e De fulgure (O relâmpago), seguidos da tradução em versos do Canto VI. / This research consists in the translation of Book VI of the philosophical didactic poem De rerum natura, by the Latin poet Lucretius (I century BC), and the analysis of three fragments from it, according to the concept of poetic function of Roman Jakobson, the most important linguist of Russian Formalism. This Roman epic deals with nature, all composed of atoms and empty, according to the doctrine of the Greek philosopher Epicurus (III century C). The Epicurean philosophy of nature, its physics, had a especial particularity. Atomism, a materialistic theorie that had in De rerum natura its biggest and best source. Thus, the dissertation offers a survey of the life and work of the poet according mainly to historians of Latin literature and experts of this poet. Then, we list the important points of Jakobsons scientific trajectory and the aspects of research wich are closely related to the concept of poetic function: phonology, his research on childrens aphasia and on language functions. We deal with the concept of poetic function, its most important topics and some examples of Jakobsons studies on poems by Dante, Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. Finally, we analyse fragments of the passages De tonitru (Thunder) and De fulgure (Lightning), followed by a poetic translation of Canto VI.

What happens when one moves about in the city? In this essay I will explore how we through our movements create our own temporal cities. I base my investigation on Michel de Certeau's theories from his book The Practice of Everyday Life vol 1. De Certeau believes that by just walking in the city – a mostly unconscious and for many trivial activity – you write it, creating different types of spaces that can be understood using linguistic terms. In my essay, I develop de Certeau's theories about ordinary activities by applying them to two less ordinary – and between themselves quite different – spatial practices:  fare evasion on public transportation (plankning) and the urban activity of parkour. I also carry out a linguistic analysis of both parkour, fare evasion and walking, using the linguist Roman Jakobson's theory on the act of speaking together with de Certeau's theory on the rhetoric of walking. In my concluding discussion, I outline a theory regarding how these different spatial practices come together in the city and form a multiplicity of ever-changing spatial stories. I also discuss what one can say that this actually means, both practically and theoretically speaking.

in English The aim of this diploma thesis is to compare novels by Elfriede Jelinek, Ingeborg Bachmann, and Thomas Bernhard on the grounds of each authors' different understanding of language and its limits. The first part is concerned with what I found typical of the novels: Bachmann's Malina (1971) describes and represents the search for (non-violent) language, Jelinek's The Piano Teacher (1983) makes use of violent language as a weapon against violence, and Bernhard's novels problematize the question of truth and objectivity by means of first-person narrators and nested testimonies. The second part uses Roman Jakobson's theory of language as a combination of metaphor and metonymy and shows the ways in which novels can emphasize one or the other pole and what it tells about the language as a whole. Especially in the case of the texts by Bachmann and Jelinek, the important methodological models for his paper are feminist theories: theories of language and means of expression (Drucilla Cornell, John Berger), theories of cultural conditionality of the body (Simone de Beauvoir, Iris Marion Young) and feminist texts which connect body and language (Beatrice Hanssen). On the contrary, in the novels and for their analysis, the approaches that allow for gender essentialism (Luce Irigaray) prove to be...

Η παρούσα εργασία επικεντρώνει το ενδιαφέρον της στην προσέγγιση των ποιημάτων, τα οποία περιέχονται στα Κείμενα Νεοελληνικής Λογοτεχνίας της Α΄ τάξης του Γυμνασίου. Η προσέγγιση αυτή επιχειρείται σύμφωνα με τη «ρητορική εκδοχή» της Αναγνωστικής Θεωρίας, τη βάση της οποίας συγκροτούν οι θεωρίες των: Roman Jakobson, Paul de Man και Wayne Booth. Η βασική μας υπόθεση ότι η όλη προσέγγιση των ποιημάτων για την Α΄ τάξη του Γυμνασίου διέπεται και από τη «ρητορική εκδοχή», όχι μόνο από την «ερμηνευτική» που αναφέρει το Διαθεματικό Ενιαίο Πλαίσιο Προγράμματος Σπουδών (2002), επιβεβαιώθηκε. Από την ανάλυση του υλικού μας, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει δεκαεννέα (19) ποιήματα, προέκυψαν ορισμένα ενδιαφέροντα ευρήματα. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η μελέτη μας εντόπισε ότι στα ποιήματα της Α΄ τάξης του Γυμνασίου υπάρχουν αρκετοί ρητορικοί τρόποι, όπως, η μετωνυμία, η προσωποποίηση, η ρητορική ερώτηση, το σύμβολο, η αλληγορία, η ειρωνεία, με κυρίαρχη, ωστόσο, τη μεταφορά. Επίσης, στα ποιήματα καταγράφηκαν οι έννοιες του υπονοούμενου συγγραφέα και του υπονοούμενου αναγνώστη, ενώ αρκετές από τις ερωτήσεις/εργασίες που συνοδεύουν κάθε ποίημα στο σχολικό βιβλίο παραπέμπουν σε μεγάλο βαθμό στις θεωρητικές θέσεις των τριών βασικών εκπροσώπων της «ρητορικής εκδοχής» της Αναγνωστικής Θεωρίας. Το κύριο συμπέρασμά μας είναι ότι η διδασκαλία της Λογοτεχνίας στη Δευτεροβάθμια Εκπαίδευση, συγκεκριμένα στην Α΄ τάξη του Γυμνασίου, αξιοποιεί εκτός από την «ερμηνευτική εκδοχή» και τη «ρητορική εκδοχή» της Αναγνωστικής Θεωρίας, εφόσον στηρίζεται και χρησιμοποιεί αρκετές από τις θέσεις, τους όρους και τις έννοιες που συναντούμε στις θεωρίες των βασικών εκπροσώπων της «ρητορικής εκδοχής». Η διαπίστωση αυτή μπορεί να διευρύνει και να εμπλουτίσει ουσιαστικά τις διδακτικές προσεγγίσεις της Λογοτεχνίας στη Δευτεροβάθμια Εκπαίδευση. / This paper focuses on the approach of the poems contained in the Texts of Modern Greek Literature, the A΄ class of the Gymnasium. This approach was attempted in accordance with the «rhetoric version» of Reader-Response Theory, the basis of which, is formed by theories of: Roman Jakobson, Paul de Man and Wayne Booth. Our basic assumption that the whole approach of the poems for the first grade of the High school is governed by the «rhetoric version», not only by the «hermeneutic», as described by the Curriculum (2002), confirmed. From the analysis of the material employed, which includes nineteen (19) poems, there are some interesting findings. More specifically, our study found that the poems of A΄ class of high school there are several rhetorical modes, such as metonymy, personification, rhetorical question, symbol, allegory, irony, principal, however, the metaphor. Also, the poems were recorded concepts of implied author and implied reader, while several of the questions/ tasks that accompany each poem in the text book refer largely to the theoretical positions of the three main representatives of the «rhetoric version» of Reader-Response Theory. The main conclusion is that the teaching of Literature in Secondary School, specifically in the first grade of high school, utilizes the «rhetorical version» of Reader-Response Theory, apart from the «hermeneutic» one, since it is based on and uses many of the views, terms and concepts encountered in the theories of fundamentals representatives of the «rhetorical version». This finding can broaden and enrich substantially the teaching approaches of Literature in Secondary Education.

Uppsatsens syfte är att visa hur litteratur kan läsas och skrivas autistiskt. Att läsa en text innebär att vi avkodar och tolkar diskursen med hjälp av våra personliga referensramar. Med hjälp av olika litteraturteoretikers begrepp belyser denna uppsats att det finns skillnader i avkodningen baserat på kognitiva färdigheter och här främst svårigheter påverkade av autismspektrumsstörningar.        Genom en kvalitativ textanalys av Jeanette Wintersons verk Lighthousekeeping visar uppsatsen hur dessa autistiska perspektiv kan upptäckas och även användas i språket. Julia Kristevas begreppsdefinition gällande semiotisk tolkning är en stöttepelare i analysen vilket även Victor Sklovskijs begrepp främmandegöring och Roman Jakobsons teorier kring litterär afasi är.        Analysens slutsats är att det autistiska kan nyttjas för att berika tolkningsvariationerna och estetiskt förändra språket från prosaiskt till mer poetiskt. De autistiska språkgreppen som kan utläsas i Jeanette Wintersons roman Lighthousekeeping gör att språket utmanar läsarens automatiska avkodning och agerar därmed förfrämligande.

Eva Krásová: Émile Benveniste and the role of sens My thesis "Émile Benveniste and the role of sens" is a monographic study of the life work of Émile Benveniste (1902-1977) through the role that the concept of meaning (sens) takes in his thought. I adopt the methodology defined by K. Kœrner as "historiography of language sciences", and thus my perspective on Benveniste's work is mainly chronological and developmental. First part of the thesis concentrates on theoretical foundations of Benveniste's thought in the school of Paris (A. Meillet and M. Bréal), Prague (R. Jakobson and V. Skalička) and Copenhagen (texts around 1939). I point out the concept of language system in diachrony in A. Meillet's thinking and in Prague school and present a hypothesis about the role of Émile Bneveniste in their contact during the International congresses of linguists. This results into a description of the perspective of meaning as it was presented in Benveniste's 1962 lecture "Levels of linguistic analysis". Second part deals with Benveniste's concept linguistics of discours. First chapter explains the main concepts of Benveniste's theory of language: semiotics and semantics or the semiotical and the semantical (le/la sémiotique, sémantique), enunciation (énonciation), appropriation (appropriation) and the theory...
