Thesis advisor: Caroline Bicks / Routinely recognized as deeply patriarchal, early modern England is an era in which men and characteristics of the male gender are assumed to have held unrelenting sway over their female counterparts. This description is largely justifiable, particularly given the era's legal codes. However, this thesis seeks to enrich discussions on early modern England by examining its male-female relationships through a markedly different lens. By highlighting the close relationships that existed alongside patriarchal mandates in the era - husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and son - a fuller portrait of the period is sketched. Through an examination of how a variety of genres - medical, religious, and dramatic - grappled with moments of union between the two sexes, particularly physical union and its concurrent or resultant emotional bonds, this thesis offers greater insight into how walls to male-female connection were both raised and bridged in the time period. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2008. / Submitted to: Boston College.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é propor um vocabulário bilíngue na direção português/inglês sobre festas populares brasileiras, tendo como público-alvo profissionais que lidam com guias turísticos em inglês sobre o Brasil, sejam eles traduções ou produções nesse idioma. A pesquisa tem a Linguística de Corpus como aporte metodológico e faz uso de um corpus paralelo composto por textos turísticos sobre o Brasil escritos originalmente em português e suas respectivas traduções para o inglês; e de um corpus comparável composto por um subcorpus com textos turísticos sobre o Brasil escritos originalmente em português, e outro subcorpus contendo textos turísticos escritos orginalmente em inglês. Com o corpus paralelo objetivamos identificar os desafios encontrados pelos tradutores ao depararem com os referentes culturais relativos a festas populares brasileiras para que pudéssemos pensar uma obra terminográfica que vá ao encontro de suas necessidades. A análise desse corpus está pautada na Teoria Funcionalista da Tradução e as soluções encontradas pelos tradutores foram descritas segundo a lista de estratégias de tradução para referentes culturais de Marco (2002). Com relação ao corpus comparável, este nos ajudou nas escolhas lexicais para a redação das definições das entradas na obra além de nos ter auxiliado a determinar quais informações os verbetes deveriam conter. O vocabulário proposto tem como base a Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia de Maria Teresa Cabré (1999). / The aim of this research is to propose a bilingual vocabulary (Portuguese/English) of Brazilian festivities, which has as its target audience professionals who produce tourist texts in English about Brazil, being them translations or texts written originally in this language. The research has Corpus Linguistics as its methodology and uses a parallel corpus composed of tourist texts about Brazil written originally in Portuguese and their translations into English; and a comparable corpus composed of a subcorpus with tourist texts about Brazil written originally in Portuguese and by a subcorpus with tourist texts written originally in English. With the parallel corpus, we identified the challenges encountered by translators when coming across cultural words related to Brazilian festivities in order to propose a reference work that can meet their needs. The analysis of this corpus draws on the functionalist view of translation and the solutions found by the translators were described according to a list of strategies for the translation of cultural words developed by Marco (2002). As regards the comparable corpus, it helped us with the lexical choices for the definitions of each entry. It also revealed the information each entry should contain. The proposed vocabulary is based on Maria Teresa Cabrés Communicative Theory of Terminology (1999).

Les Textes des Pyramides empruntent au répertoire de la vie quotidienne des Anciens Egyptiens bon nombre de vocables, faisant de ces objets a priori profanes des attributs divins ou encore des éléments d’un viatique funéraire accompagnant le défunt lors de son « ascension ». Le cas des artefacts textiles (vêtements et habits) est particulièrement riche.En reprenant l’identification de chaque item, d’un point de vue tant iconographique que lexicographique, et en tenant compte du contexte d’utilisation, il est possible de comprendre ce qui motiva sa présence : traditions institutionnelles héritées des premières dynasties, significations théologiques ou simples préoccupations fonctionnelles. / The Pyramid Texts borrow from the daily life of Ancient Egyptian a lot of words,making those objects a priori profane to divine attributes or components of funeraryequipment accompanying the deceased during his ascension. The case of textile artifacts(clothes and garments) is particularly affluent.By resuming the identification of each item, on a point of view so iconographical aslexicographical, and to take account of used context, it is able to understand what wasthe motivation of its : institutional lore inherited from first dynasty, theological senses orprivate functional preoccupations.

Le groupe surréaliste s'est livré, dès son éclosion, à un travail critique sans cesse développé au cours de l'entre-deux-guerres. La thèse se fonde sur un corpus de plus de 500 textes publiés par les poètes surréalistes entre 1917 et 1939. A vocation critique et de formes diverses, ces textes répondent à la qualification éditoriale actuelle d'écrits sur l'art. Ce corpus méritait d'être réuni et analysé davantage que pour la dimension subversive ou fantaisiste pour laquelle ils étaient considérés jusqu'à présent. La thèse identifie et analyse les enjeux que ces écrits ont représenté dans l'histoire du mouvement surréaliste notamment au moment crucial de son émergence. / From its birth, the surrealist group is engaged in a critical practice constantly developed during the interwar years. The thesis is based on a corpus of more than 500 texts published by surrealist poets between 1917 and 1939. With their critical vocation and their diverse forms, these texts can be called by the current editorial qualification of writings on art. This corpus deserved to be combined and analyzed for more than the subversive or imaginative dimension for which they were considered up to now. The thesis identifies and analyzes the stakes that these writings represented in the history of the surrealist movement in particular at the crucial moment of its emergence.

It is a little-known fact that several modernists wrote for children: this project will focus on T.S. Eliot‘s Old Possum‟s Book of Practical Cats, James Joyce‘s The Cat and the Devil, Gertrude Stein‘s The World is Round and Virginia Woolf‘s Nurse Lugton‟s Curtain. While not often thought of as a modernist, I contend that Walter de la Mare‘s short stories for children, especially The Lord Fish, take part in this corpus of modernist texts for children. These children‘s stories, while scarcely represented in critical circles, have enjoyed a wide popular audience and have all been translated into French. Modernism is often considered an elitist movement, but these texts can contribute to its reassessment, as they suggest an effort towards inclusivity of audience. The translation of children‘s literature is a relatively new field of study, which builds from descriptive translation studies with what is unique to children‘s literature: its relation to pedagogy and consequent censorship or other tailoring to local knowledge; frequently, the importance of images; the dual audience that many children‘s books have in relating to the adults who will select, buy and potentially perform the texts; and what Puurtinen calls ‗readaloud- ability‘ for many texts. For these texts and their French translations, questions of children‘s relations to place and space are emphasised, and how these are complicated in translation through domestication, foreignisation and other cultural context adaptations. In particular, these modernists actively write against Rousseau‘s notion of the ―innocent‖ boy delighting in the countryside and learning from nature. I examine the international dialogue that takes place in these ideas of childhood moving between France and England, and renegotiated over the span of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This study thus seeks to contribute to British modernist studies, the growing field of the translation of children‘s literature, and children‘s geographies.

Neste estudo, entende-se terminologia de gênero como o conjunto de itens lexicais relacionados às mulheres e às pessoas LGBT, bem como aos contextos sociais e jurídicos que motivam a produção legislativa voltada a esses sujeitos de direito. Busca-se compreender a gênese da terminologia de gênero no contexto sócio-histórico e observar como essa terminologia expressa transformações sociais. Os pressupostos teóricos das abordagens terminológicas de orientação cognitivista − a Terminologia Baseada em Frames (TBF) e a Teoria Sociocognitiva da Terminologia (TST) − e de abordagens de orientação comunicativa, representada pela Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia (TCT), fundamentam o estudo, colocando em relevo a importância da cognição e reconhecendo o papel do contexto discursivo para a análise terminológica. Nesse direcionamento, recorre-se à seleção de textos digitalizados para compor um corpus e de ferramentas digitais de assistência à pesquisa. Dada a complexidade do termo gênero, justifica-se o estudo de seu desenvolvimento e seu comportamento sob aspectos sócio-históricos e linguísticos. Metodologicamente, o corpus é utilizado numa abordagem interdiscursiva, sendo dividido em um subcorpus de estudo, formado de 291 normas legais, e um subcorpus subsidiário, formado de 65 textos de referência e de popularização bem como de textos científicos considerados representativos da área e prováveis influenciadores de conteúdo legislativo. Os procedimentos de coleta, observação e análise dos dados são realizados com auxílio do aplicativo de análise textual AntConc. No corpus subsidiário, selecionam-se contextos com a chave de busca gênero_é, para se compreender gênero como uma categoria de análise social explicada pelos autores que se dedicam ao tema. Os contextos de gênero do corpus de estudo são analisados à luz dos dados encontrados no corpus subsidiário. Com apoio na fundamentação teórica da TST, TBF e TCT, a análise permite reconhecer gênero como um elemento complexo que se constrói e se transforma em uma perspectiva sócio-histórica e se relaciona com outras unidades lexicais em uma estrutura conceitual temática. Tais unidades referem participantes e elementos que interagem – mulheres, homens, LGBT; masculinidade/feminilidade, sexo, sociedade e (des)igualdade – e que completam o cenário comunicativo no qual são identificadas cinco acepções para gênero: a) categoria de análise social; b) mulher; c) sexo em contexto de (des)igualdade; d) autopercepção e e) sexo biológico. A identidade de gênero, como percebida ao longo desse estudo, é, de modo geral, intrínseca a todas as pessoas, identificadas ou não com as representações de feminino e masculino atribuídas socioculturalmente para mulheres e homens. Porém, no contexto comunicativo da legislação analisada, a identidade de gênero referencia os sujeitos que precisam de amparo por fugirem ao convencionado socialmente. Paralelamente, igualdade de gênero nos textos legislativos não se refere a relações entre o comportamento esperado para o feminino e o masculino, mas em relações que distinguem mulheres e homens. O presente estudo mostra que os processos de surgimento e desenvolvimento da palavra gênero situam-se em um marco temporal preciso e são gerados pela ação consciente de um grupo social com o propósito de ressignificar uma situação sócio-histórica. O estudo também sugere que a noção de feminino/masculino desvinculada de sexo é uma característica que permeia o termo gênero nas áreas da Gramática, da Psicologia e das Ciências Sociais. / In this research, gender terminology is understood as a group of lexical items related to women and to LGBT people, as well as to social and legal contexts that motivate legislative production directed to these subjects of law. We seek to comprehend the genesis of the terminology in a socio-historical context and to observe how this terminology expresses social transformations. The theoretical assumptions of the terminological approaches characterized by cognitive orientation – Frame-based Terminology and Sociocognitive Approach in Terminology – and of the communicative approaches, represented by the Communicative Theory of Terminology, underlie this study, highlighting the importance of cognition and recognizing the role of the discursive context for terminological analysis. In this direction, we resort to the selection of digitalized texts to compose a corpus and of digital tools for research assistance. Given the complexity of the term gênero, the stydy of its development and behavior under sociohistorical and linguistics aspects is fully justified. Methodologically, the corpus is applied in an interdiscursive approach, being divided in a study subcorpus, constituted of 291 legal norms, and a subsidiary subcorpus consisting of 65 reference and science popularization texts as well as scientific texts considered representative and influential within the legislative area. By using AntConc, we were able to collect, observe and analyze data. In the subsidiary corpus, we selected the contexts by entering the search word gênero_é in order to allow the comprehension of the concept gênero as a social analysis category explained by the authors who study this subject. The gender contexts of the study corpus are analyzed in the light of data found in the subsidiary corpus. Supported by the theoretical foundation of Sociocognitive Approach in Terminology, Frame-based Terminology and Communicative Theory of Terminology, the analysis allows to recognize gênero as a complex element construed and transformed in a socio-historical perspective and relates to other lexical units in a thematic conceptual structure. Such units refer to participants and elements that interact – women, men, LGBT; masculinity/femininity, sex, society and (in)equality – and complete the communicative scenario in which five senses of the word gênero are found: a) category of social analysis; b) woman; c) sex in a (in)equality context; d) self-perception and e) biological sex. Gender identity, as perceived in this study, is, in general, intrinsic to all people identified or not by the socio-culturally attributed representation of women and men. However, in the communicative context of the analyzed legislation, gender identity provides reference to individuals who need support, because they are not in accordance with what is socially acceptable. In parallel, gender equality in legislative texts does not refer to relations between the expected behavior for feminine and masculine, but to relations that differ women and men. This study shows that the process of emergence and development of the word gênerois associated with a specific period and are generated by the conscious actions of a social group with the purpose of giving new meaning to a socio-historical situation. This study also demonstrates that the notion of femininity/masculinity unrelated to sex is a characteristic that pervades the term gênero in Grammar, Psychology and Social Sciences.

A tese Na Estrada dos Enigmas, Leituras e Linguagens - Imagem e Palavra em Cena propõe uma reflexão sobre a formação de professores de leitura e produção textual e relata uma prática de ensino que utiliza a arte como mediadora e, para isso, atenta que é preciso que o educador transite pelo universo da arte; assim, pretendemos mostrar como isso foi possível em nossa dimensão pedagógica, a partir de experiências intelectuais, artísticas, pedagógicas, emocionais que nos constituíram enquanto educadora. Retomando as palavras de Jean Lauand, ela serve \"no sentido daquela felicíssima confusão que a língua espanhola faz com a palavra enseñar: ensinar não só como ensinar, mas como mostrar\". Sendo assim, o primeiro capítulo se destinou a delinear, por meio das formas poéticas da vida, recriadas pela arte, uma reflexão acerca da formação do educador na sociedade contemporânea. Nosso intento foi descrever como mediamos um processo pedagógico com vistas à formação do educador contemporâneo, capaz de encontrar os arregalados olhos grandes que há dentro de cada alma formada e vertida pelo céu e pela ciência, e ver a realidade além da imagem e, a partir da sua contemplação, encontrar vias possíveis para a solução de seus próprios enigmas. E isso se justificou pelo fato de que na sociedade contemporânea, verificamos a emergência de nos constituirmos enquanto educadores que exerçam uma função social, que articulem seus saberes, planejem e concretizem o fazer pedagógico de forma realmente profissional, conscientes da responsabilidade perante o aprendiz que nos foi confiado, bem como perante aos outros integrantes do tecido social, e que alcancem com o objetivo de possibilitar a constituição de uma educação estética e, consequentemente, pela educação de seres humanos autônomos e melhores. No segundo capítulo, apresentamos um estudo que fundamenta a concepção de leitura do educador leitor e produtor de textos, apto a mediar a construção do conhecimento de seus alunos, no que concerne à leitura e à produção de textos. Partirmos da constatação de que não é possível extrair do vazio, a leitura e a produção textual. Por esse motivo, entendemos que é papel do educador despertar no aluno a consciência de que a leitura e a reflexão sobre o processo de composição textual desenvolvido por outros autores são elementos primordiais e fundamentais do processo de construção do seu (do aluno) texto, pois, leitura e conhecimento técnico são propulsores da compreensão e da interpretação, bem como contribuem para o fluir da criação. No terceiro capítulo, relatamos algumas práticas de leitura e produção de textos que desenvolvemos com nossos aprendizes, a fim de ilustrar que ensinar a produzir textos, longe da crença comum, não é simplesmente transmitir conhecimentos sobre definição de gêneros, modalidades e estrutura formal de produções discursivas; é sim um ato de extrema complexidade, pois exige que o leitor e, posteriormente, o produtor de textos, primeiramente, se emaranhe no tecido e na estrutura textual alheia para desvendá-los e, depois possa, finalmente, criar o próprio texto. E, além disso, possa também eleger destinos e dá-los a esses textos. E, finalmente concluímos, certos de que para a epifania da escrita ocorra, é preciso que a leitura salte para dentro da vida. / On the Enigma, Reading and Language Road - Images and Words on Stage is a study that proposes a reflection on the education of reading and text production teachers and reports on a teaching practice that uses art as medium, thus, calling attention to the need of educators to pass through the world of art. We intend to show how this is possible within our pedagogical dimension, and through the use of the intellectual, artistic, pedagogical, and emotional experiences we acquired as teachers. In Jean Lauand\'s words, it is used \"in the way that Spanish very delightfully confuses the word enseñar: enseñar means not only teach, but also show\". Therefore, the objective of the first chapter was to outline, through the poetic forms of life, recreated through art, a reflection on the education of the teacher in today\'s contemporary society. Our aim was to describe how we mediated the educational process in the development of today\'s teachers, capable of seeking deep inside their souls for the awareness of looking beyond the image, and through this contemplation, find possible solutions for their own enigmas. This was justified by the fact that in contemporary society we note the urgency of developing educators who actually perform a social function. These are educators who articulate knowledge, plan pedagogical activities and carry them out in a truly professional manner, conscious of their responsibilities to the learner who was entrusted to them, as well as to other participants in the social fabric and whose objectives are to provide an aesthetic education which will consequently result in the education of better and independent human beings. In the second chapter, we present a study based on the educator\'s concept of reading, on his/her capacity of acting as a medium in the building of knowledge in his/her students, in reference to reading and text production. We begin with the verification that it is not possible to extract reading or text production from empty space. For this reason, we understand that the role of the educator is to awaken the student\'s awareness to the fact that reading and reflecting on texts written by other authors are basic and fundamental principals for the student\'s own text production, because, reading and technical skills are the driving force to comprehension and interpretation, as well as contributors to the creative flow. In the third chapter we report some reading and text production practices that we developed along with our learners, to illustrate that teaching to produce texts, far from common belief, is not simply transmitting knowledge and defining genres, modes and formal discursive structures. Text production is an extremely complex activity, because it requires that the reader, who later will become a text producer him/herself, first be enmeshed in the texture and structure of someone else\'s text, to unveil it, so he/she may later create his/her own text, as well as determine the purpose and fate of these texts. We finally conclude that for a writer\'s epiphany to occur, reading must take a leap into life.

In his Hebrew encyclopaedic compendium Midrash ha-Ḥokhmah, the thirteenth-century Toledan scholar Judah ben Solomon ha-Cohen reports of a correspondence, held in Arabic, that he had with an unnamed philosopher who belonged to the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in Italy. The present work investigates the different ways in which this correspondence helped transmit knowledge between scholars from different cultural and geographical settings. First, a critical edition, translation, and analysis are rendered of the two problems discussed in the text, which concern the construction of the five regular polyhedra and the calculation of oblique ascensions. The correspondence is then placed within the framework of other accounts of scholars who reportedly received imperial inquiries. It is shown that its subject matter was of interest to both the court and the scholarly community, and can be linked to the work of Frederick's correspondents Leonardo Fibonacci in Italy and the school of Ibn Yunus in Mosul, and to the work of later scholars - Campanus of Novara and Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Maghribī. The unnamed philosopher, who is proved wrong in the correspondence, is in all likelihood Theodore of Antioch. An analysis of the terminology used in the Hebrew translation of the lost Arabic original shows that Judah created a unique mathematical and astronomical vocabulary, which changed during his working life. It is influenced by that of Jacob Anatoli, but Judah's terminology is generally much closer to that of his predecessor Ibn Ezra. It is then shown that the interreligious collaboration recorded in the correspondence is typical for the appropriation of Greek learning in the Middle Ages, but its placement within the framework of the Midrash ha-Ḥokhmah is influenced by interreligious polemics. Here, it serves to prove the superiority of the Jewish religion.
