- Uma abordagem a tendências socioculturais pela análise de conteúdo: a narrativa audiovisual em contexto de estudo de casoPublication . Gomes, Nelson P.O presente artigo explora o papel de obras e narrativas audiovisuais como indicadores de mentalidades emergentes e de tendências em desenvolvimento. Cada vez mais, as ofertas de produções culturais audiovisuais apontam para preferências em termos de gostos e para ideias que se materializam e normalizam tanto em comunidades de nicho como num contexto massificado. Mediante uma abordagem de análise de conteúdo em profundidade, apresentamos a série norte americana audiovisual South Park como um estudo de caso. A premissa e os consequentes resultados da investigação apontam para a capacidade desta produção, ao longo de várias décadas, traduzir mudanças em mentalidades, representações, práticas e objetos que dão lugar a macro e micro padrões. Desta forma, pretende-se sublinhar o importante papel a desempenhar por estas fontes na análise de tendências socioculturais.
- ‘According to the Rhythms of the Arid Lands’: Mary Austin’s The Land of Journeys’ EndingPublication . Alves, Isabel Maria Fernandes, 1964- This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between nonfiction women’s writing and nature within the North American literary tradition. In the United States, the association between humans and the natural world has primarily been a male-narrated experience, as nature, especially wilderness, has historically been a place for defining masculinity. In the final decades of the twentieth century, however, women’s literary responses to nature have received increased attention, and numerous critical works have currently identified a tradition of women’s nature literature in the United States. In this regard, I propose to read Austin’s The Land of Journeys’ Ending (1924), a lesser-known work that values the feminine voice, one that is attuned to the rhythms of the desert plains. The book, a hybrid form incorporating memoir, travel narrative, historical investigation, and ecological study, describes Austin’s journey through the Southwestern United States in 1923. Imbued with a feeling of wonder and respect for both the land and the people of the region, Austin explores how human and non-human lives adapt, survive, and bloom in the arid deserts of the Southwest. Contrasting with the urban, modern, glamorous rhythms of the Jazz Age, which characterized much of the literary work produced during the 1920s, Austin’s book exemplifies how the American Southwest was perceived through a woman’s writer perspective and how she responded to the discovery of the wild American landscape. In today’s world, where a mechanistic conception of nature prevails, I consider that Austin’s voice and her beliefs in adaptation, adjustment, and ecological sensitivity deserve to be heard.
- Acting the prince: Giacomo Joyce and HamletPublication . Greer, MickBetween November 1912 and February 1913, Joyce gave a series of 12 lectures on Hamletat the Università del Popolo, Trieste. Although these lectures are now lost, his extensive surviving notes suggest that the play was very much in his mind when he came to write Giacomo Joyce in 1914. Giacomo Joycesketches the obsession of an English teacher (who may or may not be entirely Joyce) for an unnamed female student in Trieste. Full of literary and, especially, theatrical allusions, Joyce’s last published work draws us into a search for the theatrical within the narrative as the nature of the protagonist’s relationship with his girl student is explored through juxtaposition with a range of allusions from the world stage. No textual “ghosts in the mirror”, however, are reflected more significantly in Giacomo Joyce than Hamlet. This article argues that Shakespeare not only provides Joyce with distorted verbal echoes and parallel events, but actually furnishes an underlying structure for Giacomo Joyce as a whole, through the Elizabethan 5 act structure. This structural adoption of a classic text to examine contemporary experience can be seen as paving the way for Ulysses, which had been in preparation for some time and on which Joyce was about to embark.
- Adaptation and epistemic redress : the 1857 indian uprising in JunoonPublication . Mendes, Ana CristinaOur interest – curiosity, even – in the Victorian Age has resulted in a continued investment in ventriloquising the Victorians themselves, as in the case of the various adaptations of Victorian novels and afterlives of Victorian literature in contemporary settings, as well as through neo-Victorian renditions. Towards an epistemic reading of adaptation, this chapter discusses the Hindi film Junoon (1979), directed by Shyam Benegal and produced by Shashi Kapoor, a screen adaptation of the neo-Victorian novella A Flight of Pigeons (1978) by Anglo-Indian author Ruskin Bond, set during the 1857 Indian uprising against British rule, as a creative exercise of epistemic redress whose locus of enunciation and adaptation is a former colony of the British empire.
- Adding wings to the unbearable weight of words : Academy as CommunityPublication . Alves, Maria Teresa Ferreira de Almeida, 1938-By probing into the Latin word communitate this essay first considers possible deviations from the original meaning in order to link it to the specific field of English and American Studies and, afterwards, proposes to evaluate its accommodation to new modes of conscience throughout the changing times. Some key figures will be mentioned but the mainstay of the argument will be built around Ralph Waldo Emerson who, as an “American scholar”, has made some excellent inroads into the relationship of the self with his /her community, and on how much human creativity depends on this relationship. This will be illustrated by reference to a diversity of writers and other artists whose achievements are strongly imbued with the sense of the self at work within the community, this same sense being then explored in association with creativity and the notions of academy and associativism. I will, finally, switch from this more speculative instance of my essay to the history of APEAA. Ever since the thirty four plus something years of this Association’s foundation/existence, it has afforded a practical example of how the Humanities, as practiced in our field of studies, may achieve their goals with a little imagination and a good measure of willingness. The example of some of the founding figures of APEAA, the innovative paths they were able to launch and which we are nowadays pursuing, have certainly heralded the future capability to make the most of this Association’s potential and its role as a meeting place, which, at different levels (national and international) provide the opportunity for a fruitful dialogue among the variety of disciplines and methodological preferences of its members.
- Alice Mona Caird’s Reputation : The Paradigm of DualityPublication . Gil, Marília MartinsThis text analyses Alice Mona Caird's thoughts on women's emancipation and their places in Victorian society.
- “All things are double”: Eudora Welty’s prismatic viewPublication . Lima, Maria AntóniaThis essay argues that Eudora Welty’s vision was influenced by the American Gothic tradition, with its emphasis on doubleness and mystery. Indeed, not only in several interviews conceded throughout her career but also in her essays and in her fictional writing, did Welty refuse to indulge into conclusive generalizations or to moralize her readers. Thus, she revealed an extraordinary capacity to probe the constitutive ambivalence of situations and characters, and to allude to the flux at the heart of life.
- Almada poeta teatral, um certo modo de dizerPublication . Cabral, Maria de Jesus"Futurista e Tudo': a obra de Almada Negreiros é o cadinho onde se geram experiências poéticas decisivas para o seculo XX, numa dinâmica interartística em que a vertente dramática ganha especial sentido, rumo a um teatro "escaparate de todas as artes''. Tendo-se embebido do experimentalismo que animava a vanguarda parisiense na senda do Lance de dados mallarmeano (Apollinaire, Marinetti, o casal Delaunay, Cocteau...), Almada desenvolve uma escrita teatral derrogando princípios e categorias "domesticadas" cuja poeticidade decorre da dimensão performativa da linguagem, para lá da dimensão referencial. Dialoga, nesse ponto, com a dramaturgia da palavra de Mallarme, alojada na forma e no dizer poéticos. Um dos conceitos chave para se perceber a transmutação que se processa em termos formais e discursivos, é o ritmo, que por dar forma "a um certo modo de dizer" (Henri Meschonnic) configura uma nova ideia de arte, em plena assunção da linguagem em constante devir, como tentaremos ilustrar pela leitura do poema "CELLE QUI N'A JAMAIS FAIT L’AMERICAIN" (1919).
