This article aims to discuss the work of the digital classicist, based on the concept of professional genre (Clot, 2000). For this, we make use of oral texts and the textual analysis proposed by Sociodiscursive Interactionism, in order to verify their academic activities and the emerging characteristics of their métier. The results reveal elements regarding the institutional displacement of the digital classicist; the use of English as an international language; the diversity of the group of workers; the conflicting but enriching interactional environment; the computational artifacts and the use and creation of digital data; sharing and collaboration between researchers and collaborators; and the need to establish scientific actions and procedures that adapt according to technological innovations.

This article aims to analyze the configuration of literary practices in literary studies. For such, eight academic articles from this field published in journals with different classifications according to Qualis Capes 2013-2016 in Linguistics and Literature were selected, and a questionnaire was applied to seven students and professionals who work in the field of literary studies. The data are analyzed based on contributions from the New Literacy Studies, specifically the approaches of Academic Literacy and Socio-discursive Interactionism. The results show that academic literacy practices of the field are characterized by an interpretative stance, interdisciplinarity, and the prevalence of literary texts, demonstrating their predisposed nature towards epistemological conceptions and how the academic article genre is constructed.

This article discusses the relationship between the text genre concept and teacher's professional development in continued education. This study examined how the text genre concept, taken as a psychological tool, was assembled in interviews with a teacher in continued education in order to show "clues" given by the language action about his/her (possible) professional development, evoking a process of awareness about teaching work with didactic genre projects. The conducted research, of qualitative-interpretative nature and enlightened by the principles of Sociodiscursive Interacionism, seeks to highlight the link between episteme and practice in teachers' work in continued education. Results suggest that the social debate initiated in the training process has positive effects on teacher development by providing them with a reflection on their work and an appropriation of new ways of acting, guided by the text genre concept.

While the Language for Specific Purposes approach presupposes velocity, the sociodiscursive interactionism theory (BRONCKART, 2003; 2006; 2008; SCHEUWLY; DOLZ, 2004) postulates a processual work, organized in didactic sequences which aim at the development of language capacities necessary to act in particular contexts. This perspective requires several hours of study focused on a given textual genre to ensure the comprehension of language as a social practice and of text as a semiotic instrument, which allows effective verbal communication in singular situations. Aligned with this perspective, the challenges of this paper are to analyze and illustrate possible and necessary adjustments in the Swiss proposal that can be applied to the learning-teaching process of languages for specific purposes.

This article aims at showing that the presence of the concept of genre in mother tongue classrooms may transform the reality of teaching written text production. The proposal of working with genres that we defend departs from the socio-discursive interactionism theory. We pointed out that each genre must be dealt with for a certain period of time, with emphases in its specific contents, which makes it different from the other genres, without forgetting its communicative purpose. This proposal understands the text genres as a way of articulating linguistic practice, which can be learnt, but above all, as ways of interaction. It also makes it possible to include linguistic structure items, without harming students' appropriation of a certain text genre. Empirical data will be presented and discussed in order to exemplify the proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the assumption that literacy is an appropriation process of textual genres, we present data from a larger research on film criticism as a genre of the press, which consists, for the Portuguese language teacher, in a challenge in terms of didactic transposition. The objective of this article is to approach verbal temporality, not as a simple set of linguistic devices controlled by inflexible norms, but as a linguistic-discursive mechanism that is processed in the effective functioning of the genre. The corpus consists often film criticisms written by Carlos Eduardo Lourenco Jorge - published in Folha de Londrina - analyzed from the socio-discursive interactionism perspective, which takes verbal temporality as one of the textual mechanisms responsible for textual thematic coherence.
