A língua de Camões com Iemanjá : Forma e funções da linguagem do candomblé
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present thesis addresses the relationship between the structure and social functions of language through the study of an Afro-Brazilian Portuguese speech community. The adopted methodological, analytical, and theoretical standpoints have their origin in linguistic anthropology, social psychology of language and discourse analysis. A set of data was collected during extensive fieldwork in Salvador (Brazil), and consists of recordings of informal conversations with and between followers of Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion.Focusing on the communicative process in a specific communicative setting, the linguistic analyses illustrate the relationship between language and identity by examining theway in which expressions of African origin function as identity markers. In order to connect such Africanisms used by Candomblé followers in their everyday speech with the linguistic attitudes and ideologies found in Brazilian society throughout history, an interdisciplinary approach was called for and factors that affect the speech community’s ethnolinguistic vitality were explored. Linguistic attitudes and ideologies that have influenced group vitality were analyzed in the socio-political context (or macro-context). At the same time, the purpose was to understand communication within the sacred space of Candomblé by examining issues such as changes in linguistic forms and functions in the communicative situation (or microcontext).Apart from revealing patterns of communication in Candomblé communities, the results of the analyses show how linguistic changes such as re-Africanization are triggered by changes of attitudes in society. These changes affect speakers’ identities and language use within speech communities.

Integração de conteúdos culturais heterogêneos em ambientes digitais do patrimônio cultural : harmonização de modelos conceituais
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Em decorrência da rápida difusão de informação em ambientes web, o acesso e a recuperação da informação de sistemas heterogêneos integrados estão se tornando cada vez mais relevantes. O problema de pesquisa circundante é que os acervos digitais de patrimônio cultural, contidos, por exemplo, em bibliotecas, arquivos e museus – utilizam diferentes padrões o que dificultam a integração entre eles. Diante desta premissa, tem-se a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: é possível desenvolver uma harmonização de modelos conceituais existentes do patrimônio cultural, na perspectiva da integração de conteúdos culturais heterogêneos em ambientes digitais? Assim, a pesquisa propõe o desenvolvimento de uma harmonização de modelos conceituais para a integração de conteúdos culturais heterogêneos digitais de acervos de arquivos, bibliotecas e museus. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é desenvolverum processo de harmonização de modelos conceituais do patrimônio cultural, na perspectiva da integração de conteúdos culturais heterogêneos em ambientes digitais. A pesquisa é de natureza, teórica e aplicada, e também classificada como exploratória. Alguns projetos e iniciativas internacionais são analisados: CIDOC CRM do ICOM (Modelo de Referência Conceitual), FRBR da IFLA (Requisitos Funcionais para Registros Bibliográficos), RiC da ICA (Modelo de Descrição Arquivística Records in Contexts), EDM da Europeana (Modelo de Dados da Europeana) e o CRMgeo do OCG (Modelo de Descrição Geoespacial). A tese da pesquisa consiste em afirmar que a harmonização dos modelos conceituais do patrimônio cultural possibilita a integração de conteúdos culturais heterogêneos em ambientes digitais. Os resultados apresentam um processo de harmonização de modelos conceituais do patrimônio cultural mediante um mapeamento terminológico-conceitual, delineamento de categorias e as correspondências das entidades de tais modelos. Portanto, aharmonização dos modelos conceituais possibilita integrar sistemas heterogêneos de acervos de arquivos, bibliotecas e museus em ambientes digitais, proporcionando aos usuários destes ambientes, uma recuperação de conteúdos culturais contextualizados, com caráter dinâmico e semântico, por meio da ampliação dos dados culturais.

As Coordenadas da Viagem no Tempo : Uma contribuição para a teoria da ficção histórica baseada em alguns textos portugueses dos séculos XVI, XIX e XX
- 2002
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In Portugal, as in other countries, a common characteristic of many of the novels published in the past twenty years is the recourse to a repertoire of literary devices that recall those of the historical novel. On the basis of critical studies published in the 1990’s, and in particular Fernández Prieto’s Poética de la Novela Histórica, this thesis undertakes a study of the Portuguese historical novel with the aim of defining, to the extent possible, the limits of this literary genre, and to examine in detail some of its intrinsic—and pertinent—semantic and pragmatic traits: the setting of a fictional narrative in the past, theintroduction of historical persons and events and, not the least, the transtextual relationship between the fictional and the historiographic text. Special attention is given to some of the more innovative forms of the contemporary historical novel, to highlight how by emphasising certain generic traits —that refer to the reader’s acquired knowledge— the author can compensate for the absence of others. Despite the inherent ”heterodoxy”, this device justifies grouping these novels under the general heading of the historical novel.The thesis explores the analogies between some of these innovative narrative strategies of the contemporary historical novel with transtextual practices characteristic of literature predating the 19th Century and by which a certain ”historical knowledge” is requisite for decoding the text. The thesis also establishes a set of generic traits that the historical novel shares with epic poetry. In light of theseanalogies, the thesis proposes a reading of Os Lusíadas as a historical poem. With this the author hopes to provide a contribution to a theory of historical fiction, understood as a genre encompassing, in addition to the novel, all forms of fictionalisation that rely on the historical discourse.© Mauro Cavaliere ISBN 91-7265-442-2

Garantia e hospitalidade cultural no tratamento temático de acervos de animação
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A animação será abordada nesta pesquisa como um documento audiovisual que suporta ainformação por meio da imagem construída e do som. E ao ser entendida como tal, aanimação necessita de técnicas para leitura, análise e síntese da informação contida nessesuporte e que atenda às particularidades existentes nessa tipologia. O fato de a Ciência daInformação não contar com uma normatização nacional ou internacional para a transposiçãoda linguagem audiovisual para um resumo escrito, faz com que diversos pesquisadores sedebrucem em torno dessa problemática e proponham métodos para leitura, análise e sínteseda informação audiovisual. Dentro das possibilidades de transposição existe a segmentaçãode vídeo, que até o momento desconsidera os aspectos semânticos do processo detransposição. Além disso, é importante ressaltar que os aspectos culturais devem serassegurados dentro da proposição e elaboração de novas metodologias, sendo que um doscaminhos para tal é refletir tais práticas dentro da Organização do Conhecimento por meio deum viés ético. É assim que esta pesquisa dialoga com o conceito de Garantia e HospitalidadeCultura cunhado por Beghtol. Pois a autora apresenta que a cultura dentro de uma unidade deinformação pode ser entendida como a forma com que o indivíduo se relaciona com ainformação. Deste modo, faz-se o seguinte questionamento: Como a Garantia e hospitalidadecultural podem ser asseguradas no tratamento temático da animação? O objetivo principaldesta pesquisa é propor uma análise de identificação da Garantia e Hospitalidade Cultural naelaboração de resumo (sinopse) de filme de animação. Para tanto, usou-se o método deanálise de domínio, que para identificar o domínio, a comunidade discursiva e a estrutura dodocumento se dividiu em dois polos para a coleta de dados: o polo teórico e a pesquisa decampo. O polo teórico discute o conceito de documento, analisa os métodos para leitura dedocumentos audiovisuais e traz o conceito de Hospitalidade e Garantia cultural. Já a pesquisade campo se preocupa em estabelecer as características da comunidade discursiva, para issoforam realizadas entrevistas e análise documental. As entrevistas foram feitas com 4 pessoasresponsáveis pelos acervos das instituições analisadas. As instituições são: Museu deanimação Lula Gonzaga, Museu de animação de Belo Horizonte e Produtora Anaya. Ocorpus de análise também abrangeu 10 resumos de filmes de animação da Cinematecabrasileira, bem como os documentos dessa instituição no que se refere ao tratamentotemático. Como discussão retoma-se todos os dados estruturados dentro da análise dedomínio. Como resultado apontam-se que a Garantia e hospitalidade cultural podem seridentificadas dentro de um sistema de Organização do Conhecimento quando alguns pontossão considerados: o primeiro, é preciso identificar o que é cultura para a comunidadeanalisada; o segundo, qual é a dimensão informativa do documento e como ele se estrutura; eterceiro, quais objetivos e ações da instituição analisada dialogam com essas particularidades,por fim, ao sintetizar todas essas informações foi possível entender o que deve ser asseguradodurante o tratamento temático do acervo de animação e assim pensar o processo de leitura,análise e síntese desse documento. Concluiu-se se torna possível pensar, compreender eidentificar a Garantia e hospitalidade cultural dentro do tratamento temático da animação pormeio da análise de domínio.

Uma história na História : Representacões da autoria feminina na História da Literatura Portuguesa do século XX
- 2005
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this thesis is to examine discursive aspects and practices concerning recognition of literature written by women in 20th century Portuguese literary history. It endeavours to reveal and identify organizational elements along with author representations that, in a historical perspective, lead to marginalization of women writers. The research material consists of narrative literary histories and Encyclopaedias of authors and literature, which have assumed the task of summarizing and retelling the literary development of 20th century Portuguese literature.In order to deconstruct the dominant historiographical discourse and to reinterpret the marginalization of women writers, the theoretical and methodological frameworks of this dissertation are taken from the fields of Discourse Analysis and Gender Studies. The combination of these theoretical perspectives provides tools for analysing the questions of power and ideology inherent in the construction of a traditional literary history discourse. Furthermore, this theoretical framework allows us to understand the contingency and historicity of knowledge established in a historiographical discourse.The main part of this study consists of a qualitative analysis of representations of women writers along with a discursive analysis of the construction of literary history. The conclusion emphasises five observed discursive strategies, which lead to a reduced narrative history for literature written by women. They could be summarized as follows. Female authorships are conceptualized in a separate strand as “women writers”. Female authorships before 1950 are in literary, socio-political, terms not contextualized. They are not conceptualized within the main lines of historical narratives (literary movements, schools etc.), the female tradition as such is not contextualized, and moreover, the political expression of female authors is reduced.Apart from this result this study gives an increased understanding of the different ways in which hegemony in historical discourses opposes representations of “the other”.

Aquisição bilíngue sueco-português : A produção do português brasileiro como a língua mais fraca em crianças bilíngues simultâneas em Estocolmo
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study concerns simultaneous bilingual acquisition (2L1) of Swedish-Brazilian children growing up in mixed-lingual families in Stockholm, with Swedish as their dominant language. Earlier studies on this language combination were not found. Not even were there any studies considering 2L1 children of the same age group as our main subjects (Anna 7;7,3–9;1,30, Maria 6;1,16–6;11,11). An analysis of their acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) as a weaker language (WL) was carried out in a Generative Grammar approach, mainly through the selective theory of language acquisition. The corpus consists of interviews with 2L1 children in a semi-longitudinal registration of their production. The focus of this analysis lies on the observation of three domains of BP grammar that differ morpho-syntactically from Swedish: verb inflection; VP as minimal responses; NP number and gender agreement. Three main research questions were formulated: 1) Are the simple and robust structures, provided by domestic input enough for triggering the functional categories (FC) of their WL? 2) If the FCs are activated, do they develop in the same sequence as a WL as they would in BPL1? 3) If the 2L1 children show any deviations in acquiring the grammar of their WL, is it possible to distinguish any influence from Swedish? To answer these questions a contrastive study was carried out, comparing the acquisition of BPWL with studies on 2L1 and BPL1 acquisition. The results show that the domestic input is enough for triggering the grammar of the WL, and that it was triggered and developed through a similar procedure to that of BPL1, although delayed. Contact with BPL1 input in Brazil was necessary to activate the children’s oral production. When using VPs for minimal responses it requires more than domestic input, and the influence of Swedish was reflected in the subjects’ use of sim ‘yes’ instead of VPs, as in this case grammar enters the domain of discourse at the syntax/pragmatics interface.

Variação, contato e mudança linguística em Moçambique e Cabo Verde : A concordância variável de número em sintagmas nominais do português
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study investigates variable noun phrase number agreement (VNA) in two second language varieties of Portuguese, spoken in Maputo, Mozambique and in Mindelo, Cape Verde. Quantitative VARBRUL analysis is carried out based on recordings made in Maputo and Mindelo 2007 and 2008. Previous quantitative studies on VNA in varieties of Brazilian Portuguese (Guy, 1981; Lopes, 2001; Andrade, 2003) as well as on VNA in first and second language varieties of Portuguese from São Tomé (Baxter, 2004; Figueiredo, 2008, 2010) indicate contact between Portuguese and African languages as the main origin of this phenomenon. VNA in Brazilian Portuguese is, however, interpreted by Scherre (1988) and Naro & Scherre (1993, 2007) as the result of language internal drift. Varieties of Portuguese from Mozambique and Cape Verde are particularly interesting to contrast in order to investigate influences from African languages on VNA, as in Mozambique Bantu languages are first languages of the vast majority of Portuguese speakers, whereas in Cape Verde, practically all Portuguese speakers are first language speakers of Cape Verdean Creole, whose substrates are West African, and not Bantu, languages. Comparison is also made with previous studies from Brazil and São Tomé. The results of this study comment previously postulated explanations for VNA in Portuguese in various ways. The analysis of the variables onset age and age stratum indicates that VNA in the analyzed varieties is a phenomenon linked to the acquisition of Portuguese as a second language and/or language contact rather than the result of internal drift. The fact that all the compared varieties tend to mark plural on pre-head components contradicts Bantu transfer as an explanation for this pattern, and raises the need to also consider more general explanations based on language contact. The basic structural similarity between the compared varieties suggests the existence of a grammatical restructuring continuum.

Modelo para promoção da mobilidade urbana ativa por bicicleta: uma abordagem do design de serviços para o comportamento sustentável. (Model for promoting active urban mobility by bicycle: a service design approach for sustainable behaviour)
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The population growth associated with an accelerated urbanization process - with more than 50% global people living in cities - are weighting negatively on social and ambiental developing aspects. Among the compromised areas is the urban mobility, where the priority has been given to motorized ways of transports other than active mobility. Moreover, these problems are exacerbated at places where many people attend simultaneously such as shopping centers, schools and universities. As long as it is possible to understand the design as a requisite for promoting more sustainable lifestyles and improving the quality of life, connecting and integrating useful knowledge and applying them to solve real problems, the research question that arise is: How to use design strategies to promote active and sustainable urban mobility by bicycle at universities? Henceforth, a perspective about the engagement of design as agent for sustainable development is presented and, existent design strategies on sustainable behavior and service design were used to develop a model to promote active and sustainable mobility by bicycle at universities. The chosen research method to achieve the goal was the Action Design Research (ADR) in four phases: 1) problem formulation; 2) building, intervention and evaluation; 3) reflection and learning and 4) formalization of learning. The ADR enabled solving the presented problem in a practical way, making a model artifact as result, besides the theoretical contributions. On the problem formulation (1) phase data collection was carried out through literature review and systematic literature review, as well as an analysis of the mobility at UFPR in Curitiba and also the mapping and analysis of similar artifacts. From this phase some model's requirements emerged, as well as some research gaps. The phases building, intervention and evaluation (2) and reflection and learning (3) were the main cycle for the better solution for the presented problem through model development and iteration. The preliminary model solution applied strategies of Service Design and Design for Sustainable Behavior (DfSB) aiming to promote change of travel behavior of the participants. To verify the effectiveness of the model in its various aspects (adoption of design strategies, application in the university community, promotion of behavior change, satisfaction of participants and dissemination of results), the field phase of the research used as strategies of data collection: questionnaires, interviews, focus group, mobile ethnography and cultural probes. After five refinement iteration cycles, the last version of the proposed model was considered a satisfactory solution for the presented problem, as it was validated as the effective application of the Service Design and DfSB strategies to which, according to the data obtained, promoted changes in habits and behaviors among the participants. Afterwards, the final considerations regarding the goals, research method and suggestions for future work were described.

Discursos fronteiriços de jovens moçambicanos : A linguagem, as ideologias e as subjetividades na colonialidade contemporânea
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Why are we talking about coloniality in postcolonial times? And what does language have to do with it? In addressing these two broad questions, this thesis sets out to provide empirically well-grounded reflections focusing: First, on how young Mozambicans’ linguistic repertoires and discursive practices relate to their sense of being in the world. And second, on how their perceptions resonate with recent sociolinguistic debates about the different roles language and ideologies play in constructing and reproducing conditions of contemporary coloniality. The role of postcolonial Portuguese is particularly highlighted. The introduction provides a critical, decolonial and epistemic reflexion that brings together four seemingly disparate studies. Moreover, it offers an invitation to critically reflect on discourses, ideologies and valuations that are carried in and on our individual and collective historical bodies and minds and are reproduced through different manifestations of what I call ‘discursive re(b)orderings’. Study I, explores how Portuguese spoken in Maputo has changed after independence and underpins the inquiry into the ‘construct’ of linguistic boundaries and its relation to ideas of language purity and how these ideologically laden notions impact knowledge production and perceived and lived mobilities in the ‘postcolony’. Study II, displays ‘languaging’ practices of young Mozambicans and their strategic orientations in their social-spatial deployment of linguistic resources, and explores ‘translanguaging’ as discursive space production. Study III, brings Frantz Fanon into the study of sociolinguistics of subjectivity and explores the reflexes of the ‘other’ in the constitution of the self of young Mozambicans, suggesting that intersubjectivity holds the promise of disentangling Fanon´s notion of ‘sociogenese’. Study IV brings Pierre Bourdieu´s Distinction (1984) into the ‘postcolony’ by emulating his methodology through multilevel big picture data, combining quantitative and qualitative data and analyses with approaches inspired by ethnography to look at ‘positions and dispositions’ of young Mozambicans across fields and markets. Theoretically, the thesis brings Bourdieu and Fanon together, and shows how nexus concepts, intersubjectivity and the historical bodies and minds represent promising avenues to the understanding of language in coloniality. Two nexus concepts, the habitus and the sociogenese, are adopted and complement each other. By mixing methodologies, the studies combined, manage to capture the complexities in the multi-layered and often subtle ways discursive bordering constructs and reproduces contemporary coloniality. Empirically, taken together, the four studies show how ideologies, the ‘constructs’ surrounding language and the symbolic value of Portuguese are taken up in language and discourses and in speakers’ strategic deployment of linguistic resources across fields and marketplaces in the ‘postcolony’. Moreover, it shows how all forms of capital: epistemic, economic, educational, linguistic and symbolic are reconfigured and revaluated. Nevertheless, mobility is contained, and socioeconomic inequalities are mirrored in sociolinguistic inequalities and even in material urban space to the effect of perpetuating conditions of contemporary coloniality.
