Fonologia do Português e Interfaces: Fenômenos da Aquisição e da Variação (Routledge Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics)
by Dermeval Da Hora Carmen MatzenauerFonologia do Português e Interfaces: Fenômenos da Aquisição e da Variação brings together a collection of studies on phonological acquisition and phonological variation in European and Brazilian Portuguese, addressing topics and proposing analyzes that are little studied in linguistic research in the target language.The eleven chapters foster theoretical debates on the processes underlying both phonological acquisition and variation and show how these are interrelated. They focus on the acquisition of phonology by children as well as adult variation in the use of phonological units in everyday speech, highlighting linguistic processes that occur in both contexts. The volume combines theory and practices with a focus on language teaching and acquisition.The book will be of interest to Lusophony linguists, particularly those interested in phonological acquisition and variation, and should prove useful to linguistic researchers, practitioners, and students of Portuguese in Europe, Latin America, and the US.Fonologia do Português e Interfaces: Fenômenos da Aquisição e da Variação reúne uma coletânea de estudos sobre aquisição fonológica e variação fonológica no Português Europeu e Brasileiro, com a abordagem de tópicos e a proposição de análises pouco estudados na pesquisa linguística na língua-alvo.Os onze capítulos promovem debates teóricos sobre os processos subjacentes tanto à aquisição quanto à variação fonológica e mostram como estão inter-relacionados. Concentram-se em unidades fonológicas na fala cotidiana na aquisição da fonologia por crianças, bem como na variação na fala de adultos, destacando os processos linguísticos que ocorrem em ambos os contextos. O volume combina teoria e prática com foco no ensino e na aquisição da língua.O livro será de interesse para linguistas da Lusofonia, particularmente para aqueles voltados para a aquisição e a variação fonológica, e deverá ser útil para pesquisadores da área da Linguística, para usuários da língua e para estudantes de Português na Europa, na América Latina e nos Estados Unidos.

Prismatic Jane Eyre: Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages
by Matthew Reynolds OthersJane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë and first published in 1847, has been translated more than five hundred times into over sixty languages. Prismatic Jane Eyre argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism. Prismatic Jane Eyre develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Brontë’s novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars, Prismatic Jane Eyre traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated – as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel’s feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as ‘passion’ and ‘plain’ across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis, Prismatic Jane Eyre opens a wholly new perspective on Brontë’s novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature. Prismatic Jane Eyre is a major intervention in translation and reception studies and world and comparative literature. It will also interest scholars of English literature, and readers of the Brontës.

Landscapes of Investigation: Contributions to Critical Mathematics Education
by Miriam Godoy Penteado and Ole SkovsmoseCreating landscapes of investigation is a primary concern of critical mathematics education. It enables us to organise educational processes so that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes.

Uma ilha brasileira no campo literário alemão: Dinâmicas de circulação literária pela editora Suhrkamp e a recepção da literatura do Brasil (1970-1990) (Biblioteca Luso-Afro-Brasileira #1)
by Douglas Pompeu30 anos de literatura brasileira na RFA: como uma das editoras centrais da Europa do pós-guerra, a editora Suhrkamp, contribuiu e impulsionou a recepção da literatura brasileira no mercado editorial alemão. Através da análise de documentos do arquivo da editora Douglas Pompeu reflete sobre a posição marginal da produção literária brasileira na circulação literária internacional, assim como sobre o seus esforços de divulgação para além das fronteiras nacionais. O estudo pode ser resumido como uma pesquisa de cruzamento entre dois espaços literários com valências distintas, mas em contato e movimento constante, no qual editores, agentes, redatores, tradutores e o leitor tomam o protagonismo da instância autor na produção do livro e na legibilidade, traduzibilidade e vendabilidade do produto literário.
A Manga Perfeita
by Erin ManningEm 1994, aos vinte e cinco anos de idade, quando o terrível “despedaçamento que vem com a agressão sexual” dobrou-se profundamente em seu corpo e pensamentos de suicídio estavam sempre por perto, Erin Manning escreveu A Manga Perfeita num estado quase febril: dezenove capítulos em dezenove dias, uma espécie de operação de auto-resgate, onde a escrita tornou-se uma maneira de fazer (e sentir) a vida de outra forma. Ao longo desses dezenove dias, e embora não capaz de articular completamente para si mesma na época, Manning escreveu-se para dentro “de uma composição que pergunta de que outra forma a vida poderia ser vivida”. E nos ritmos dessa composição, que era também uma vida, Manning foi e é capaz de recusar a categoria e norma e imobilidade da “vítima” (enquanto ainda compreende as heranças da violência) a fim de seguir em vez disso o mais-que-eu assim como a alegria do “mais-que da experiência no fazer”. Vinte e cinco anos depois, Manning permite que esses escritos anteriores encontrem seu caminho de volta ao mundo, o que é uma maneira de dar “voz a esses momentos de sobrevivência confusos” enquanto também pede a nós, que compartilhamos (e ajudamos a suportar) tais momentos enquanto leitores, que consideremos “outras formas de escutar a urgência que é viver”. Republicar o livro agora é dar-lhe um lugar no mundo de uma maneira que honre sua força como algo que está sempre além da reivindicação de qualquer um, mesmo de Manning. Nesse sentido, A Manga Perfeita nos convida, com Manning, a estar em excesso de nós mesmos, e também a considerarmos, nas palavras de Manning, “como criar condições para viver além da crença feroz do humanismo de que nós, os privilegiados, os neurotípicos, os ainda incólumes, os corpos-capazes, é que guardamos a chave para todas as perspectivas no teatro da vida”. Por fim, A Manga Perfeita e as reflexões de Manning a respeito de sua composição pedem que consideremos “viver na feroz celebração de um mundo inventado por esses modos de vida que rasgam o tecido colonial, branco, neurotípico da vida como a conhecemos.”
Massa por Argamassa: A "Libraria de Babel" e o Sonho de Totalidade
by Jonathan BasileMassa por Argamassa apresenta uma exploração profunda de um dos maiores ilusionistas da literatura, Jorge Luis Borges. Seu conto “A Biblioteca de Babel” é um exemplar ilustre de sua capacidade lúdica, embora não somente devido ao mundo invertido que nele é imaginado, no qual uma biblioteca, que supostamente contém todas as combinações possíveis de todas as letras, palavras e livros, é vasculhada por bibliotecários devotos em busca de verdades divinamente pré-fabricadas. Pois também é preciso lidar com a ironia da narração de Borges, que constantemente põe em xeque as afirmações do narrador sobre a universalidade da biblioteca, incluindo a própria possibilidade de exaurir os significados possíveis através de um processo combinatório. Borges direcionava seus leitores para sua obra de não-ficção para que descobrissem o verdadeiro autor da ideia da biblioteca universal. Mas seus ensaios supostamente históricos são notoriamente repletos de referências falsas e contradições. Seja na verdade ou na ficção, Borges nunca atinge uma conclusão estável sobre as premissas atomistas da biblioteca universal – seria possível encontrar um conjunto de caracteres capaz de expressar todo o significado possível, ou estariam essas letras, assim como suas histórias e ensaios, se multiplicando e dividindo em uma incompletude incansável? Embora muitos leitores de Borges o veem como um presságio de nossas tecnologias digitais, eles muitas vezes dão crédito demais a nossas invenções ao fazê-lo. Aqueles que elidem a necessária incompletude da Biblioteca de Babel a comparam com a Internet, assumindo que ambos seriam arquivos totais de todo o pensamento e expressão possíveis. Embora as imaginações de Borges tenham contribuído para a criatividade digital (libraryofbabel.info é certamente uma evidência disto), elas o fazem demonstrando a necessária incompletude de todos os projetos totalizadores, independentemente de seu refino tecnológico. No final, Basile guia os leitores em direção à ideia de que uma exposição fictícia/imaginária possui certo poder sobre a tecnologia.
A People's History of the Portuguese Revolution (People's History)
by Raquel VarelaOn the 25th April 1974, a coup destroyed the ranks of Portugal’s fascist Estado Novo government as the Portuguese people flooded the streets of Lisbon, placing red carnations in the barrels of guns and demanding a ‘land for those who work in it’. This became the Carnation Revolution - an international coalition of working class and social movements, which also incited struggles for independence in Portugal’s African colonies, the rebellion of the young military captains in the national armed forces and the uprising of Portugal’s long-oppressed working classes. It was through the organising power of these diverse movements that a popular-front government was instituted and Portugal withdrew from its overseas colonies. Cutting against the grain of mainstream accounts, Raquel Cardeira Varela explores the role of trade unions, artists and women in the revolution, providing a rich account of the challenges faced and the victories gained through revolutionary means.
With and Without Galton: Vasilii Florinskii And The Fate Of Eugenics In Russia
by Nikolai KrementsovIn 1865, British polymath Francis Galton published his initial thoughts about the scientific field that would become ‘eugenics.’ The same year, Russian physician Vasilii Florinskii addressed similar issues in a sizeable treatise, entitled Human Perfection and Degeneration. Initially unheralded, Florinskii’s book would go on to have a remarkable afterlife in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Russia. In this lucid and insightful work, Nikolai Krementsov argues that the concept of eugenics brings together ideas, values, practices, and fears energised by a focus on the future. It has proven so seductive to different groups over time because it provides a way to grapple with fundamental existential questions of human nature and destiny. With and Without Galton develops this argument by tracing the life-story of Florinskii’s monograph from its uncelebrated arrival amid the Russian empire’s Great Reforms, to its reissue after the Bolshevik Revolution, its decline under Stalinism, and its subsequent resurgence: first, as a founding document of medical genetics, and most recently, as a manifesto for nationalists and racial purists. Krementsov’s meticulously researched ‘biography of a book’ sheds light not only on the peculiar fate of eugenics in Russia, but also on its convoluted transnational history, elucidating the field’s protean nature and its continuing and contested appeal to diverse audiences, multiple local trajectories, and global trends. It is required reading for historians of eugenics, science, medicine, education, literature, and Russia, and it will also appeal to the general reader looking for a deeper understanding of this challenging subject. Victoria College, University of Toronto, has generously contributed to the publication of this volume.
