No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 11288371 bytes, checksum: f84cc4da8462ccf7b779caa223fe8c19 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-04-05 / The distinct aspects that involve the sphere of human activity, in which the Popularisation of Science News (PSN) is produced in the written mode, and the types of dialogic relations in the process of resignification of Scientific Discourse (SD) for the Discourse of Science Popularisation (DSP), present in the utterances of PSN, are indispensable elements to provide the wider public in society with access to scientific knowledge. We defend the thesis that the types of dialogic relations on which is grounded the process of resignification of the utterances of SD in utterances of the PSN genre – a heterodiscursive genre – favour the construction of the meaning of the utterances by the PSN reading public. The guiding question for this research is: What types of dialogic relations are relevant to describe the process of resignification of SD in the utterances of PSN? Inserting ourselves into the dialogic perspective of language, the proposal of this research is to analyse the boundaries of the process of resignification from one discourse to another, from one form of communicating to another. In this way, grounded on the Bakhtinian concepts of language, the research has the general aim of analysing and identifying the types of dialogic relations that are the basis of the process of resignification of SD to PSN. The research corpus consists of two representative samples of SD: a scientific article, published in the CELL journal, and a report, published in the Science magazine. As for samples of DSP, we chose three PSNs published on internet sites, as follows: two from the American website Sciencedaily, specialising in science news, and one from the Brazilian journalism portal G1. The choice of these PSNs, which popularised one of the most significant discoveries of the 2000-2010 decade, is justified by the relevance of the contents that they cover. As regards the methodology adopted, this is a qualitative piece of research of a descriptive-explicative nature, in which the data are analysed and interpreted starting from methodological parameters through means of which are analysed the thematic content, the compositional form and the style of the author-enunciator, that is, the journalist, that will reflect his/her axiological positioning and the social context of this genre. The epistemological framework adopted is the one guided by the work arising from the Enunciative Theory on the dialogical perspective of language based on the theoretical formulation of Bakhtin, and of the Circle, such as Bakhtin (1976, 2006, 2013, 2014), Bakhtin/Volochinov (1997, 1976) and Volochinov (1930). Besides this, we have taken as basis of study the analysis of scientific articles developed by Swales (1999 and 2005). With respect to concepts in the journalistic sphere, we have adopted as referential the theoretical assumptions of Bueno (1985, 2010, 2014), Lustosa (1996), Bahia (1990) and Lage (2008, 2011, 2012). The results indicate that the author-enunciator of the PSN acts as mediator between the scientists and society and that there are different types of dialogic relations in the process of resignification of the SD to utterances in the PSN, amongst which three main dimensions stand out: dialogic relations of proximity with the presumed recipient, between preceding and following utterances, and through the schemes of resignification of the discourse of the other. / Os distintos aspectos que envolvem a esfera da atividade humana, em que a Notícia de Popularização da Ciência (NPC) é produzida na modalidade escrita, e os tipos de relações dialógicas no processo de ressignificação do Discurso Científico (DC) para o Discurso de Popularização da Ciência (DPC), presente nos enunciados da NPC, são elementos indispensáveis para proporcionar ao público mais amplo da sociedade acesso aos conhecimentos científicos. Defendemos a tese de que os tipos de relações dialógicas que fundamentam o processo de ressignificação dos enunciados do DC em enunciados do gênero NPC - um gênero heterodiscursivo - favorecem a construção do sentido dos enunciados pelo público leitor da NPC. A pergunta que norteia esta pesquisa é: Que tipos de relações dialógicas são relevantes para descrever o processo de ressignificação dos enunciados do DC nos enunciados da NPC? Inserindo-se na perspectiva dialógica da linguagem, a proposta desta pesquisa é de analisar os limites do processo de ressignificação de um discurso para outro, de uma forma de comunicar para outra. Assim, fundamentada nos conceitos bakhtinianos de linguagem, a pesquisa tem como objetivo geral analisar e identificar os tipos de relações dialógicas que são a base do processo de ressignificação do DC para a NPC. O corpus da pesquisa é formado de duas amostras representativas do DC: um artigo científico, publicado no periódico CELL, e um report, publicado na revista Science. Como amostras do DPC, selecionamos três NPCs publicados em sites da internet, a saber: duas no website americano, Sciencedaily, especializado em notícias de ciências, e uma no portal de jornalismo brasileiro, o G1. A escolha dessas NPCs, que popularizavam uma das mais significativas descobertas da década de 2000-2010, justifica-se pela relevância do conteúdo que abordam. Quanto à metodologia adotada, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho descritivo-explicativo, em que os dados são analisados e interpretados a partir de parâmetros metodológicos por meio dos quais se analisam o conteúdo temático, a forma composicional e o estilo do autor-enunciador da NPC, ou seja, o jornalista, que refletem seu posicionamento axiológico e o contexto social desse gênero. O quadro epistemológico adotado é o que se pauta nos trabalhos advindos da Teoria da Enunciativa, na perspectiva dialógica da linguagem baseada nas formulações teóricas de Bakhtin, e do Círculo, como Bakhtin (1976, 2006, 2013, 2014), Bakhtin/Volochinov (1997, 1976) e Volochinov (1930). Ademais, tomamos como base de estudos a análise de artigos científicos desenvolvida por Swales (1999 e 2005). No que concerne a conceitos da esfera jornalística, adotamos como referencial os pressupostos teóricos de Bueno (1985, 2010, 2014), Lustosa (1996), Bahia (1990) e Lage (2008, 2011, 2012). Os resultados apontaram que o autor-enunciador da NPC atua como mediador entre os cientistas e a sociedade e que há diferentes tipos de relações dialógicas no processo de ressignificação do DC em enunciados de NPC, dentre as quais, destacam-se três principais dimensões: relações dialógicas de proximidade com o destinatário presumido, entre enunciados precedentes e posteriores, e a partir dos esquemas de ressignificação do discurso de outrem.

The aim of this study was to asses the impact of a visit to the NIHERST/NGC National Science Centre in Trinidad on four different school-age visitor groups. The research was conducted through the administering of a post-visit questionnaire immediately upon completion of each visit by each group, and via visitor feedback obtained in post-visit or pre-visit activities conducted within two weeks of the visit for three groups. Teachers/instructors who accompanied the groups on their visit also completed post-visit questionnaires and provided additional information on follow-up activities via an interview. The results of this investigation suggest that the visit to this science centre provided entertainment/enjoyment value and potential educational value to most individuals. The nature of this enjoyment was noted for various age groups and genders in this study. Quantification of the educational impact was not possible within the constraints of this study, which was unable to capture long-term effects of the supply of ‘new knowledge’ to visitors which the visit to the science centre had provided.

In questo studio si analizza il linguaggio utilizzato nei blog che si occupano di storia dell'arte, genere diffuso online, tramite un corpus di 54 blogs pubblicati nel 2013. Nell'ambito della linguistica dei corpora, l'analisi permette di ridefinire le tradizionali categorie utilizzate per descrivere i blog, fornisce una descrizione tipologica dei post e dei commenti tramite l'utilizzo di un apposito software, oltre a descrivere il livello di specializzazione del linguaggio. Vengono infine riportati esempi di creatività linguistica in questo genere digitale. / This study analyses the language of “art blogs”, i.e. blogs dealing with art, through a specialised corpus of fifty-four blogs published during 2013. Both posts and comments are included in the present investigation into the linguistic character of art blogs. The methodological choices reflect the need for a multifaceted analysis which covers different aspects, from text typology to linguistic creativity and popularisation. A review of the relevant literature on blogs brings to light the need for a specific characterisation of art blogs, since they tend to have a blended style, which cannot be ascribed to the traditional categories of personal and thematic blogging. The distinctive features of posts and comments are then investigated through a multidimensional analysis which reveals that posts and comments are two different text types. Successively, the corpus is compared to a specialised corpus of art announcements, within the field of popularised and specialised discourse. Finally, several examples of linguistic creativity are explored and presented, thus showing that traditional descriptive paradigms are unsuited to analyse the outcomes of art bloggers.

The aim of this study was to examine which effect tabloidization has had on the news content and the presentation of the Swedish news program Rapport, during the years 1979 and 2009. Rapport is broadcasted in the Public Service channel "Sveriges Television". Our main concern was to examine whether Rapport has stayed true to their assignment or if they have made changes to appeal to the popularised audience. To do so we focused on three questions: What is the journalist’s role? What becomes news? Who are interviewed? We used theories such as social representation, news value and media logic to help us perform the analysis. Qualitative methods were used to analyse the news broadcasts, of which John Langer’s story-types was the primary method. In addition to that we used the method of semiotics to reveal signs of tabloidization in the imagery of the broadcasts. Our results showed that the tabloidization of Rapport lies in the format rather than the news content. The changes in the news content are barely noticeable, even though the time span is quite long. The format however, has seen some tabloidization in 2009, with changes to the vignette and the feature structure. We also found changes in which people that Rapport chose to interview and changes among the journalists themselves. For instance we discovered that the representation of different groups of people is much more varied in 2009 than it was in 1979. The results also showed that the journalistic role has shifted from the task of educating the citizens to the task of being sensational and entertaining.

This thesis concentrates on new approaches in the popularization of archaeology in the light of its social contribution to the society of the 21st century. Its main research issue is the problem of didactical transformation of the archaeological data and knowledge for the needs of an efficient popularization of the discipline. An effective popularization is considered to be a complex of interdisciplinary processes leading to a multi-layered usage of archaeological in-formation and data by the general public. The author as well emphasizes the substantial educational dimension of archaeological popularization. According to this fact she tries to apply the pieces of knowledge gained from field didactics, museum education and experiential learning on the duplex communication with general public. Thesis consists form a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with information and experiences from public archaeology, history, sociology and philosophy and analyses both familiar and neglected roles of archaeology within the contemporary society and situates them into a broader educational context. The second - practical - part of the thesis focuses on new approaches, methods and themes within the research issue, and introduces several model examples of good praxis as well as seven...

L’historiographie romanesque allemande autour de 1850, à savoir l’écriture de l’histoire pour grand public, est étudiée ici à partir de trois romans historiques parus après la révolution de 1848, mais avant la nomination de Bismarck comme ministre-président de la Prusse en 1862. Ce sont des romans-fleuves écrits par l’épouse de Theodor Mundt, Clara Mundt alias Luise Mühlbach (1814-1873) : Königin Hortense (1856), Napoleon in Deutschland (1858/1859) et Kaiserin Josephine (1861). Cette romancière fit partie de la première génération de femmes-écrivains ayant pu vivre de leur plume et elle connut un grand succès de son vivant. Sa représentation des relations entre France et Allemagne s’inscrit entre historiographie populaire et modernité scientifique car la fictionnalisation de données historiques lui permit de se réapproprier la matière historique et de revaloriser des figures féminines. Par son utilisation de témoignages et de sources d’époque ainsi que par son réemploi des travaux d’historiens récents, L. Mühlbach procède au travail de réécriture de la grande histoire comme c’était aussi le cas dans de nombreux romans historiques de son temps. Elle transforme le genre romanesque en outil didactique ayant pour objectif la transmission du savoir historique et une éducation au patriotisme allemand s’adressant surtout à un lectorat féminin. Ses biographies sont mises au service de l’éducation des cœurs et proposent une forme d’encadrement voire de préparation à la vie conjugale, à la maternité, à la sociabilité, au civisme, et ce par le biais de personnages historiques romancés. Notre étude cherche également à dépasser l’idée d’une rupture dans l’œuvre de L. Mühlbach après 1848 et met l’accent sur la persistance de thèmes comme la question de l’émancipation féminine et religieuse qu’elle avait traités dans ses romans sociaux à l’époque du Vormärz. / The thesis deals with popular historiography and scientific modernity in Germany between 1850 and 1862 – namely after the revolution of 1848 and before Otto von Bismarck became Minister President of Prussia – through the study of three historical novels, Königin Hortense (1856), Napoleon in Deutschland (1858/1859) and Kaiserin Josephine (1861) by Theodor Mundt’s wife Clara Mundt (1814-1873) alias Luise Mühlbach. She was one of the most successful historical novelist of her time, and belongs to the first generation of professional female writers. The main focus of this study is on the literary discourse on the history of relationships between France and Germany. The purpose is to demonstrate how the transmission and the popularization of historical knowledge could be used for education to female patriotism and women citizenship. The study of the use of testimonies and documentary sources borrowed from recent historians shows how L. Mühlbach proceeded to appropriate historical material and to upgrade female figures of the past. Besides the dissertation deals with the analysis of the several historical, political, social and literary mechanisms which explain the success of Clara Mundt’s historical novels between 1850 and 1860. The study puts emphasis on the continuities between L. Mühlbach’s social novels of the Vormärz and the historical novels, like the social and religious issues and the topic of women’s emancipation, in order to question the idea of a split in her work before and after 1848.

The Old Testament, which is one of the first books in the Malagasy language, plays an important role in the religious and cultural life of most people in Madagascar, for instance in an increasing tendency to use Old Testament texts in Malagasy religious contexts, which is noticeable both within and outside mainstream Christianity. The first such case illustrating this trend within the Church is the Malagasy Roman Catholic Church's (MRCC's) application of certain texts in the famadihana (turning of the dead), a custom reflecting traditional Malagasy practices in their strongest form. Almost all the Malagasy churches from their beginning have unsuccessfully attempted to abolish it. Therefore, the MRCC decided to base it on biblical texts and incorporated it in her liturgy in order to make it a Christian celebration. Among the texts used here are: Genesis 49: 33-50: 13; Exodus 13: 19 and Exodus 20: 12. The second case is the Malagasy Lutheran Church's (MLC's) employment of Old Testament texts to create certain items for Nenilava (Tall mother), the founder of the revival movement of Ankaramalaza, who was acknowledged by this Church and the members of this movement as a prophetess and priestess. To demonstrate these roles, and at the same time to confirm her consecration, the MLC and the `children of Ankaramalaza' made for her a priestly robe modelled on the high priest's garments described in Exodus 28 and a silver crown related to Deuteronomy 28. The use of the Old Testament outside the Church is illustrated by the third case, investigating traditio-practitioners' applications of Old Testament texts in their religious practices. Examples include: 1) Exodus 3:1-3; Leviticus 14: 1-8; Jeremiah 8: 22, used in traditional healing; 2) Exodus 3: 5b; Job 33: 6a; Psalm 121: 8a, employed as religious slogans; 3) Leviticus 1-6, applied in traditional sacrifices and offerings; and 4) Psalm 113: 5-6; Genesis 2: 18, 22, employed as references for morality. This project, which describes and analyses how and why the Old Testament is used by different people, Christian and traditionalist, in Malagasy religious contexts, is aimed at developing an interpretive model based on these three cases. More specifically, it seeks to show how the Old Testament can be interpreted and used in contemporary Madagascar/Africa. / Biblical and Ancient studies / D. Th (Old Testament)
