The public library brings with itself the social dimension, which creates a space for training and social change. However, society requires innovations and libraries are part of this context. Thus, this work is justified by understanding the role that public libraries have for society. It lacks spaces for access to innovative technologies and information mediation actions. To make the research feasible, the research problem consists on the following question: to what extent do the investigations on public libraries aim at increasing innovation and makerspaces to reinforce their social function? Then, the aim of this study is to ascertain the number of publications in scientific journals that relate innovation and the makerspace in the emancipatory context of public libraries. Methodologically, it was drawn a qualitative and quantitative exploratory research. An exploratory search was carried out in databases considering papers pusblished by authors dealing with the themes, as well as in the abstracts of papers in journals and proceedings in the databases Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) and the Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI). Findings reveal that it lacks the relationship between public libraries, makerspace and information mediation, concomitantly, in investigations in the area of Information Science between the years 2009 and 2019.

This article is about the current scenario, changes and desires for a new education, in the need for the development of scientific and technological culture in educational institutions. The objective of this research lies in the perspective of building moments of reflection on the scientific and technological training of the teacher. As for the objectives, research is explanatory, as for the procedures,bibliographic and documental, of qualitative approach, in an inductive method of investigation. Writing builds a path of appropriation of digital culture, with the curricular proposal of some curricular documents, from the perspective of scientific literacy. Therefore, the epistemological analysis is based on Vigotski (2010), Piaget (2014), Moran (2013) (2015) (2019), Saviani (1999), Libâneo (2013) (2001), Santos (2007), Lemos (2003), Santaella (2013), among others.

The article is structured along the lines of qualitative research. Through the case study, the premise is to investigate how digital marketing is applied in the fast food company Burger King. With the application of the Collective Subject Discourse, contextual clues are listedthat allow to investigate the use of digital marketing within the context of a food company in Brazil. Through the analysis of speeches included in the material studied, it was possible to verify that digital marketing at Burger King occurs through the application of inbound marketing. It allows the use of digital social networks for the purpose of disseminating relevant content to the target audience and potential customers.

This article aims to identify and analyze the research developed in the Archival Science Programat University of Brasília, inthe form of the Plano de Atividade Complementar(PAC). Through investigations that contribute to the expansion of archival knowledge and enable the generation of new discoveries, PAC has in its composition a faculty advisor and Archival Science undergraduate students. As a methodology, a quali-quantitative analysis of this production was proposed, adopting, as a theoretical reference, the classification defined by Couture and Lajeunesse (2014) for archival research. The results indicate a low rate of students enrolled in research of this nature and present three themes with greater incidence. Some investigations have won awards at scientific events and others have been published in national and foreign journals.

This article analyzes two common practices involving researchers in Information Science, Journalism and History: the document and the interview. These practices are supported by the concepts of memory and the search for interdisciplinarity. The methodology originates from the elements identified in the regional studies, using the collection of oral testimony, in an exploratory character.Of the theoretical and practical objectives, the investigative contribution stands out, basedon the assumptions that memory calls for historical reconstructions that are present today, being projected, from the past, and reinterpreted by agents of different academic and cultural expressions. The results are enumerated as to the inferences about the documentary study of regional history, which highlight the uses of the interview and the document, which is, at the same time, individual and collective, due to the perspectives inserted in the constructions, reconstructions and social fractures of the past, especially in the figure of the local memorialist.

This study reviews how the digital platforms use the podcast, having, as the main object of analysis, the portuguese podcast P24, from Público newspaper. The goal of this study is to understand the main themes of P24 episodes, but also its informational sources. In order to achieve this purpose, it was carried out a daily analysis of P24 from May 18th to June 2nd. The results confirm that themes related to Society are the most covered and that the main informational sources are journalists from the Público newspaper. This study not only reflects the impact that podcasts have in digital platforms, but also the importance of the development of this format in the Portuguese digital context.

his research aimed to learn about the comic books cinematic industry in aspects of the creative economy focused on social and cultural movements, as well as the perception of the millenials generation for being the generation that best accompanied this transition from comic book sheets to movie screens. The research is of exploratory and descriptive characteristics, based on bibliographic, documentary and field research. The field research instrument, applied to 50 (fifty) people from the millenials generation, was organized and structured to measure the profile of the participants, as well as to contextualize the conditioning paradigms of the Creative Economy variables and the millennials generation indicators. Finally, it concludes that this new culture of transforming comic book pages into cinematic adaptations is a niche market that will require a great demand from the entertainment industry in the coming decades, to continue making history in the cinema and achieving box office and public records

This research discusses the objectification relations, visual and informational representation of the woman identified in the cartoons found in Careta, a humor magazine in the beginning of the 20thcentury, in Brazil. The relationship between humor and the image of women is problematized through the cartoons in the columns of the Caretamagazine, which created discursive deformations of what would be the feminist movement through graphic humor, that is, through comic phrases and drawings. Based on the magazine's documentary narrative raised through the cartoons, it presents some discursive and visual representations placing women in a situation of subordination. Given that 'reading' a visual text is also an attempt to dissolve its fetishes, it is added that the cartoons represent cultural codes of a given period and show everyday or thought, as well as the vision of what was or is at the moment of looking. of readers. In our scope, Caretamagazine becomes an important source of information to discuss the image of women and the objectification that was addressed in this periodical in the beginning of the 20thcentury in Brazil. In the cartoons, there are satires of the image of the feminist and women's movement. Therefore, it is worth emphasizing that the theme addressed is relevant for understanding the political-social development in the issue of the emancipation of the image of women. In short, our analysis perceives the stereotype that exists in the “poorly formatted” discourse of Caretamagazine, that influenced ways of thinking and acting according to the relationship of aesthetic standards of what would be the ideal of women and the image of the feminist movement, confronting them from yesterday to today.

This text presents the results of a study that sought to analyze the perceptions of the library system’s usersat the Federal University of Santa Maria, concerning the services and spaces offered by them. A case study was carried out anddata collection was donethrough an online questionnaire, sent to UFSM students, teachers and administrative technicians. The results showed that users are unaware of most of the spaces and services offered by libraries, which may indicate, both the under-utilization of many of them andthe convenience of the need ofa communication plan for dissemination and better guidance for users.

This essay is concerned with the literary dimensions of Michael Lewis’s The Undoing Project (2016), a journalistic depiction of the famous intellectual collaboration of Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. Tversky and Kahneman are the Israeli psychologists whose work provided a new theoretical understructure for what is now called “behavioral economics,” which has challenged norms of thinking that have longed presumed that consumer or business markets perform based on individuals’ rational assessment of their own self-interest. The current public perception of Lewis is to see him as the master of the so-called explainer, the newswriting mode that supposedly draws from the Anglo-American journalistic traditions of realism and “plain speaking” transparency; the explainer itself has become more prominent across media platforms (e.g. in podcasts) in the U.S. in recent decades. However, what this interpretation of Lewis’s writing overlooks, in the case of the Undoing Project, is the polyglot assemblage of literary and cultural debts Lewis mobilizes –from Charles Dickens and Mark Twain, American vaudeville and Yiddish humor, Voltaire and romantic comedy –to plot his explainer in the form of a love story. Through this literary strategy, moreover, Lewis tries to self-reflexively incorporate the theories behind behavioral economics into his own storytelling. In doing so, however, Lewis also confronts the ambiguous role that those theories play in contemporary history and, especially, U.S. political governance.

This paper focuses on cultural journalism and its main species. After a brief review of the main genres of the cultural writing press, I will dwell on the theater chronicle, trying to see what style of writing is circumscribed and what are the main steps in writing a theatre review. Based on my 23 years of experience as a journalist in the daily generalist and specialized cultural press (Cultural Magazine of the Romanian Writers' Union, ARCA), I dare to say that the secret of any theater review lies in the balance between the information transmitted and the journalist's comment, between the statement and the argument displayed. Being a personal judgement, therefor subjective, the article can rise dissatisfaction among directors, actors, set designers etc. who do not always resonate with the journalist's verdict. My paper will provide several personal examples of approaching the theater show, situations that I have faced over time, all to shed some light on writing the theater review. From a stylistic point of view, I will try to see how theatre review differs in the overall press coverage. The editorial style of the theater review could be circumscribed to the journalistic style, having at the same time an accentuated aesthetic dimension. This brings it closer to the language of literature.

This article proposes a Scale that enables a reflective discussion of environmentalist identity profiles. Environmentalism is a central element of 21st century identity and, however, the literature fails in environmentalist typologies that allow reflection and positions on the topic. The methodology followed in this work implied a historical analysis of environmentalism. Such analysis resulted in 8 subscales that are aggregated in a single methodological instrument: the Environmentalist Identity Scale (EIA). The main contribution is to provide a simple instrument that allows a reflexive approach of each subject to a set of ideal types of environmentalist identities, supporting active intervention methodologies.

In this essay, it will be discussed the pioneer use of transgender narratives by two works of the polemic writ-er Cassandra Rios, the Bildungsroman Georgette (1956) and the crime novel, Uma mulher diferente (1965). One of the central aspects of our analysis is the way the narrator deals with the gender of their transgender characters, as well as the crossings between gender identity and sexual orientation during the narrative.

RESUMO Descortinar as leituras dos profissionais de saúde sobre as práticas de cuidar no domicílio do doente em fim de vida, através de uma lente sociológica constitui uma das formas para melhor compreender a natureza dos cuidados paliativos. Neste artigo, explorámos a voz dos profissionais de saúde de uma Equipa Comunitária de Suporte em Cuidados Paliativos (ECSCP), analisando a textualidade implícita nos seus discursos e perspetivas sobre a natureza do trabalho paliativo, curativo e preventivo, os desafios do trabalho sobre o processo de fim de vida, as lógicas da comunicação e da tradução na resolução dos problemas no trabalho em contexto da trajetória de fim de vida do doente. O presente artigo foi elaborado com base no tratamento preliminar dos dados recolhidos em 2019 e 2020, no âmbito do projeto financiado pela Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), intitulado ETIC (End-of-Life Trajectories In Care) - Managing end- of-life trajectories in palliative care: a study on the work of healthcare professionals.

Based on an ethnographic investigation carried out in 2015 within El Sistema, a Venezuelan program for teaching symphonic music, this article is a pragmatic analysis (Dewey, 2010) of what it is to teach and learn music in this context. The results reveal concrete social interactions between students and teachers, specific to the symphonic context. Data analysis is based on the concept of ‘attachment’ (Hennion, 2004) to what is familiar and comforting, and the concept of ‘defamiliarization’ (Shklovsky, 2008) in view of what is strange and unfamiliar. Paradoxically, these two conceptualizations are simultaneously interdependent and in constant tension. Contrasts are experienced every day, which can strengthen social cohesion and the continuation of music schools.

In the most liquid environments that characterize nightlife and parties, we generally live in a slower and more marked time: on the one hand, by relevant, varied and often intense sensitive experiences; and, on the other hand, for expectations of more freedom and social interaction between the actors. This article sought to problematize the direct and indirect repercussions - not only socioeconomic, but especially in the imagination of the city - of the nightly cultural experiences that take place at the festive events held at Beco das Artes (in the city center of Rio de Janeiro), which it presents itself as an open territory for serendipities, capable of mobilizing an expressive segment of actors who gravitate towards a musical production associated with the local alternative scene (and who, in general, participate in the current street culture in Rio). In view of the objectives outlined, our investigation is not only based on the theoretical-methodological procedures of the Sociology of Senses (and of the Imaginary) founded by Georg Simmel, but also employs cartographic methodological strategies (in the process of carrying out fieldwork and monitoring the dynamics aggregation of actors in the territories) inspired by the Actor-Network Theory, noted in Bruno Latour's seminal work.

Migrations, mass tourism, and international real estate investments are causing irreversi‑ ble effects on the genuine identity evolution of Mouraria’s urban landscape heritage. This research analyses the emotional and multisensorial responses to the urban space of Mouraria’s residents using the methodology of three pedagogical-artistic laboratories. We enquire how this multicultural community is involved in the creation of an active and predicative experience of space through artistic activities. This community-based research reaffirms the understanding of the urban heritage in its intangible dimension as a social participative construct, in a constant process of identity reformulation, reinvention, and artistic creation

Since the emergence of an international book market in the mid-nineteenth century, publishers have acted as gatekeepers in regulating access to literary works, including translations, and in constructing entire literary fields. However, from both academic and non-academic perspectives, published translations have often been examined as if in a textual vacuum, in which the translator’s strategies and choices are scrutinised via a logic of losses and gains in relation to the source text. In the wake of the incorporation of sociological theories and concepts into Translation Studies, scholars have now begun to address the institutional role played by publishing houses and to acknowledge the diversity of agents involved. This article reviews the literature on the topic since the early 2000s, focusing on studies which, while premised on various theoretical, conceptual, and methodological perspectives, show convergence in acknowledging the collaborative dynamic of publishing and its effects on both the translation process and product.

The term cultural mapping refers to both an interdisciplinary field of research, encompassing an array of approaches used in diverse contexts as a tool and method of inquiry, organization, and presentation; and an insight-generating praxis, as a participatory planning and development tool embedded in “communal engagement and the creation of spaces to incorporate multivocal stories” (Duxbury and Saper, 2015: n.p.). The evolution of cultural mapping intertwines academic and artistic research with policy, planning, and advocacy contexts. Its current methodological contours have been informed by five main cultural mapping trajectories: community empowerment and counter-mapping, cultural policy, municipal governance, mapping as artistic practice, and academic inquiry. This article provides an overview of this field, identifies some of the objectives and issues with which researchers are currently engaging, and offers questions and suggestions to guide efforts to build closer connections with the realms of cultural policy and planning.

With the transformations that took place in cultural policy in Brazil since the 2000s, the field of heritage education has been democratized. In this process, inspiring experiences were sought in the history of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN, in Portuguese) for the new performance. Thus, the Projeto Interação entre a Educação Básica e os Diferentes Contextos Culturais Existentes no País (1982-1986) — Interaction Project between Basic Education and the Different Cultural Contexts Existing in the Country (1982-1986) — was valued as an example for rethinking educational practices with cultural references. However, this appropriation of the Projeto Interação was limited to the memories of the remaining IPHAN professionals who worked at the agency in the 1980s. This article seeks to overcome the absence of systematic studies presenting the research done in the Central Archive of Brasília and demonstrating how the principles of Interação are currently present at IPHAN.

From the perspective of cultural and gender studies and feminist theory, this brief study aims to contribute to the deconstruction of the canonical discourse produced by the male imagination from a reinterpretation of O Quinze, by Rachel de Queiróz, taking the dissenting voice and the fragmented body of the protagonist Conceição as a place of resistance and female insubordination.

This paper focuses on adolescence development under difficult circumstances, the practice of a genocide. It analyses Anne Frank’s writings as forms of self-expression, according especially to Simmel and Foucault. The Secret Annex, her refuge, is a heterotopia or no place. Furthermore, this paper questions genocides as biopower since several millennia. In the context of power relations in her hideout, Anne achieves individuality, develops herself as a protagonist, and reaches her subjectivity. She interrelates the search for new femininities, political reflections and a rigorous self-criticism, leading her to continuous rethinking.

Mundo Segundo is MC, producer and ex b-boy, but he is also an inescapable figure of Portuguese hiphop. He is even one of the most active ambassadors of the movement in Portugal. In this interview, we talk about his artistic career and we approach some of the questions that guide the current situation. We discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the music-making process, reflected on the relations between music, mental health and well-being and, in addition, obtained his vision on the potentialities of a social intervention through the arts, in disadvantaged contexts and target of social exclusion. Parallel to these topics, perceptions about (in)safety were also reflected upon.

The present article discusses the results of a pedagogical intervention carried out in a Centro Juvenil de Ciência e Cultura (Youth Science and Culture Center), located in central Salvador. The project, entitled História.Doc, involved 14 students, aged 15 to 22, and was carried out over three months, during the second semester of 2019. From the approach of two research fields, Historical Education and Heritage Education, the objective of the project was to develop historical literacy focused on the interpretation of heritage sources and discuss ways of preserving cultural assets to qualify students for the full exercise of citizenship. Throughout the process, we collect data through questionnaires and observation records that are analyzed in this text based on the notion of historical consciousness

The Tecnobrega as a characteristic musical rhythm and cultural heritage of the state of Pará (Brazil), carries with it several elements that express the identity of the community to which it belongs and which involve not only its melody, but also its parties, environments, agents, dances, gestures and symbols. This work aims to, as an introductory way, identify these elements and to understand their role in the formation of this property and in its process of patrimonialisation, as well as to suggest measures for its recognition, preservation and valorization through educational measures.

The present essay intends to make known the social representations of women in old age in the fashion world, with the purpose of understanding this social phenomenon little investigated and of great social relevance. For this study we used a qualitative approach, with sampling of multiple cases, in the Porto Metropolitan Area and of interviewees in Lisbon - Portugal, with the participation of 14 women: elderly women over 65 (consumers) and fashion professionals (fashion design, shopkeeper, dressmaker, social events company) of notorious social recognition. The interviews were conducted based on a semi-structured script, in order to capture the social representations of elderly women and the contribution of fashion professionals in the face of the phenomenon studied. The work includes the following approaches: socio-historical aspects about fashion; the space of women in old age in the fashion world; theoretical assumptions about aging and fashion; methodology used; and, finally, the narratives of women in old age in the Portuguese context. Although elderly women do not understand the phenomenon of fashion in aging, they point out their social representations about fashion in this age group.

To remember and to forget are actions that involve selection of information, which means that it is impossible to remember without forgetting. Being the collective memory a social construct and a factor of identity for any community, how are we supposed to live with forgetfulness? How are we to live upon the deletion of the past (de-memorizing)? To counteract the silences and the unsaid it is possible to think of underground memories that express the spoken word of the excluded and the neglected from the official memory. Shaping a new writing and a new literature, innumerous authors consecrated thus their experiences of pain and trauma caused by Shoah. It is their examples of life and writing that we bring forward into confrontation, resorting to a conceptual frame that will also be supported by such thinkers as Michael Pollack, Theodor Adorno, Giorgio Agamben, Hannah Arendt or Walter Benjamin

This article aims to analyse the literature produced in Europe and in Portugal in particular, by people in transit, contemporary migrants, focusing on the dissonances present in these texts in relation to the he-gemonic collective imaginary. Considering the urban dynamics and the action of public power in Lisbon, as well as the representation of the city space in contemporary literary texts - including the novel Luanda, Lisboa, Paraíso (2018), by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida -, this article highlights the relationship between contemporary capitalist development and colonial persistence in the daily life of the city of Lisbon.

This paper aims to present emerging trends of Brazilian connected students towards the use and appropriation of ICT resources through data of two national surveys: 2014 #Connected Youth Brazil and 2018 ICT in Education Survey. #Connected Youth Brazil was developed by the School of the Future Research and Culture Laboratory at the University of Sao Paulo, NACE EF-USP ( www.futuro.usp.br ), in association with Telefonica Vivo Foundation Brazil ( http://fundacaotelefonicavivo.org.br ). The survey interviewed 1,440 Brazilian youngster and also developed focus groups sessions with celebrities and educators plus navigation observation through a special software applied to ten authorized adolescents. 2018 ICT in Education survey was developed by Brazilian Internet Steering Committee and interviewed 11,361 students plus teachers and directors. Main findings are: smartphones to democratize Internet connection; students challenged by fake news and information sources; schools are not the main place of connection and students are autonomous learners regarding media literacy. Keywords: Brazilian connected students behavior; #Connected Youth Brazil Survey; Media and Information Literacy (MIL) - Brazil; 2018 ICT in Education CGI Survey.

The dissemination of a literary work depends on several factors, but its availability to the public is a sine qua non and, for that reason, translation plays a capital role in this process. However, literary works from periph-eral systems will thus have particular difficulty in finding its way to their potential readers. We know that a translation into a central language may be a way for a work from a peripheral system to reach others of a similar dimension or condition (Sapiro 2008), but central systems do tend to leave little space for translated literature (Even-Zohar 1990). One should not be surprised, then, to learn that for Casanova “Translation is the major prize and weapon in international literary competition” (Casanova 2004: 133). How, in that case, can Portuguese language literature aspire to a place which could grant it more visibility? What are the main actors involved in the process? This paper tries to assess what circuits do these cultural products have access to, and how the selection of works and authors to be translated mirrors, if at all, a cultural project and/or policy.

The Black Atlantic has become a key reference in postcolonial studies. This concept is extremely useful to examine the presence of hyperviolence and struggles for emancipation in literary works and political paths. This article addresses the link between the Atlantic and the notion of identity. This metaphoric place, where a wide variety of symbolic goods circulates, tends indeed to favour dynamic processes of identification, less marked by a rooted and exclusive Us. Then, this article examines how Cabral, Cesaire and Du Bois have, from that symbolic space, thought the forms of emancipation. When considered from the global South, emancipation requires an analytic space that goes beyond the local setting. This article argues that the Atlantic imposes itself not as a resource among others, but as a necessity given the nature of the object being studied.

Contemporary art galleries remain little known partly because the very definition of contemporary art makes it difficult to delimit their population. In order to bring more light on contemporary art galleries in France, we decided not only to try and define their population, but also to rank them. For this and in order to objectivize the various positions, we gathered information on all art galleries concerning: (i) such factors as their locations, participation to art fairs and recognition by public institutions, but (ii) also considering their rosters. The analysis shows a general link between the two. It also unveils a strong hierarchy between contemporary art galleries in France with a very significant presence of galleries of foreign origin in the first ranks, as a direct consequence of the high degree of internationalization of the art market.

The People v. Turner (2016) exemplies a common leniency towards perpetrators of rape in the courtroom. Despite Turner’s conviction bringing hope that trial proceedings might stop exonerating rapists, Judge Persky’s decision to sentence Turner to only six months in jail shows that the perpetrators can still be somewhat exculpated post factum. This paper conducts a critical discourse analysis of Persky’s sentencing decision, analyzing its intertextual relationships with the victim’s impact statement and the perpetrator’s apology inter alia, emphasizing the systematic minimizations of the victim, Chanel Miller’s, descriptions of Turner’s acts of violence. Finally, I analyze Persky’s evaluation of Turner’s apology to Miller, i.e. that reconciling is “a bridge that will probably never be crossed” because Miller’s insistence that Turner acknowledge that his assault was intentional is an exorbitant request. I conclude that Persky passed a sentence that was consistent with his reformulations of Turner’s actions, which parallels findings from previous research.

The dierences and intersections between law and morality are a pervasive theme in legal theory. Scholars have debated for more than a century about how best to distinguish the two as normative phenomena. However, little attention has been paid to how those two normative systems interact with each other on an empirical, i.e., practical level, and to the consequences of this interaction for the theoretical debate that stands above it. Drawing on tools and concepts from discourse analysis – specifically the ethnomethodology of written texts and studies of moral work – this paper aims to attend to the issue of how morality is inserted into legal phenomena by the practical discursive work of jurists. The data comes from a decision by the Brazilian Supreme Court to remove the president of the Lower House of Congress from office following criminal charges. The analysis demonstrates that the judge mixes references to the legal/technical framework with moral work in constructing a deviant character for the defendant. This defendant so-categorized feeds back into legal categories to justify the decision to remove him from office. Implications for the conjoining of morality and law as a practical matter is discussed.

Drawing on the theoretical input provided by the Surveillance Studies, this study aims to contribute to a re-reading of the novel The Cave [A Caverna] by Jose Saramago, based on the analysis of the representation of surveillance in the text. This article focuses on the most relevant surveillance contexts in the novel as well as on the spatial configuration of the “Centre”, an allegorical space of key importance in the narrative in which surveillance plays a crucial role and where one can identify various features of our globalised society, such as the fading border between public and private space and the reorganisation of the city in order to promote consumerism. This analysis not only explores the representation of the “watchers” and the “watched”, but it also highlights the way in which subtle surveillance practices are disclosed and questioned in the context of the novel’s critical perspetive of our contemporary capitalist society.

In legal-consumer relations, there will always be someone in a state of vulnerability, at a disadvantage vis-a-vis the supplier, who has the technical knowledge of the production and supply of the product/service and who can therefore get what he wants, because of the consumer lack of preparedness. This explains the consumer’s vulnerability. Just being a consumer is to be vulnerable (Nunes, 2012). There are several types of vulnerability: technical, legal (or scientific), phatic (socioeconomic) and informational. For this article, what is of interest is linguistic vulnerability because in the case analyzed the legislator recognizes that the consumer is ignorant of the areas of legal accounting, economics, mathematics and others, given their linguistic peculiarities. We describe linguistic vulnerability in legal-consumer relations, starting from semantics and pragmatics, given the function and meaning of these areas in legal discourse. Adopting the theoretical-methodological assumptions of bibliographical research and based on consumer legislation and on the work legal theorists and linguists, we analyze a specific case dealt with in the Vara das Relacoes de Consumo da Comarca de Conceicao do Coite (BA), which exemplifies a typical case of linguistic disadvantage before the law. This paper presents some perspectives on the language of the Law, exemplifying the relation between Law and Language, with an emphasis on linguistic vulnerability.

Traditionally, legal documents such as contracts are verbally drafted by lawyers for other lawyers to read. However, it is highly desirable that the clients also understand their contents. The verbal format may be problematic if the parties do not have a common language or if they are unable to understand the legal jargon. For this reason, advocates of legal design have suggested that the contents of conventional legal documents could be presented in visual format. This paper aims to introduce one example of legal design, the comic contract, in which the verbal and visual modes interact. It discusses the process of transforming traditional legal documents into comics, which can be considered a kind of intersemiotic translation, and asks whether this format in fact improves the intelligibility and accessibility of legal documents.

In this paper, I focus on showing some features of police questioning in England by describing and analysing episodes in which lines of questioning are constructed by police ocers. I show that in the interviewing model adopted by the police in England, the ocers’ agenda is not to explicitly look for a confession when questioning suspected criminals. Nonetheless, they are still able to elicit information which may undermine the suspects’ version of events. The data consisted of an audio-recorded investigative interview with a teenage suspect accused of having assaulted a colleague in England. This interview has been transcribed and examined using the tools of Conversation Analysis. The paper is organised into two sections: in the first one, I describe how questions in police investigative interviews have a progressive character, i.e. they gradually move from what appears to be an innocent, innocuous or neutral topic to a point at which the police officer reveals – or at least makes more visible to the suspect and therefore for the analyst – his/her project. In the second section, I connect the progressivity of these questions to what seems to be a key project in most of these lines of questioning, that is, police officers are oriented to elicit information from the suspect and build some sort of inconsistency between the evidence they have already collected and what has been stated by the suspect in the interview.

The objective of this study is to analyze Brazilian laws regarding overweight and obesity in order to understand how these two concepts, and the relation between weight and health, are construed through discourse. In order to do that, we rely on the ‘Legitimation in Discourse’ framework proposed by van Leeuwen (2007). The results indicate that Brazilian legislation defines obesity basically on the basis of the BMI and focuses on obesity as a result of inadequate individual choices, which is a reductive interpretation of a complex social problem.

This article reports on the experience of producing a reference guide of the song Brazilian skinhead white power. Using an interdisciplinary approach, its purpose is to map group organizations, bands and their repertoires, the latter understood as tools of metapolitical agitation. The reference guide is an analytical and exhaustive research support tool, whose purpose is to group together in the same work information about a certain set of documents of a particular music scene. The guide on the Brazilian skinhead white power scene was organized in the form of entries, mapping the entire musical production of the bands with this profile, identifying bands, albums, songs (and their respective functions) and the trajectory of the group organizations to which they were linked.

In this scientific article we intend to approach the treatment of the Family Photography of the Information System Marques da Silva/Moreira da Silva. This work is based on a project developed within the scope of a master's thesis - presented to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto in 2014 - entitled "The Family Photography on the Information System Marques da Silva/ Moreira da Silva: a systemic approach". According to the concept of heritage presented by Laurajane Smith on her book Uses of Heritage - the relevance of the Marques da Silva family justifies the classification of photography as Cultural Heritage, that should be managed, protected and shared. Working with this concept and with other concepts related with the Information Science and with the Systemic Theory, we proceed to the treatment of family photography, to its integration in the Information System Marques da Silva!Moreira da Silva and its online availability through the archival management software AToM. Regarding the treatment and dissemination of the Marques da Silva Family Photography, it was necessary to establish a legal framework to determine which photographs could be released. Regarding the Portuguese legislation - the Direitos de Autor e Direitos Conexos, C6digo Civil, Constituic;iio da Republica Portuguesa, Lei Nacional de Protec;iio de Dados, Lei 67/98 de 26 de outubro- were analyzed. The photographic archive can be consulted here.

Within a sociological reading, hip hop has a growing importance in the study of contemporary cultural dynamics in the last three decades, since it is understood as a vector of communication, identification and claim of young people around the world. This time, we want to understand the role that hip hop plays in the identity construction of young people inserted in the movement, specifically in the rap aspect, in the parishes of Vila Nova de Gaia. How did the interest for integration in the movement arise? What are the main reasons and influences for the continued presence? How important is rap in each young person's life? What are the main changes between the Old and the New School? And what future do young people want? These are some of the questions we propose to answer based on the interviews - in life story form - that we conducted to young rappers from Vila Nova de Gaia.

This study, which is the initial phase of a doctoral research project, sets out to investigate the use of language and the possibility of committing discursive crimes on Brazilian social networks. I analyze a series of extracts from ruling of the 2016.01.1.062108-0 in a lawsuit, which involves an image of one of the current Federal Supreme Court Justices, Gilmar Ferreira Mendes. The defendant was a famous journalist and actress, Monica Iozzi. My analysis uses Systemic-Functional Linguistics (Halliday, 1994; Halliday and Matthiessen, 2004), more precisely the Transitivity System of Ideational Metafunction, and intends to contribute to reflections on language crimes and the possibility of criminalizing the use of language on social networks. Through the analytical results presented in this specific case, it is possible to perceive that the possibility of criminalization of a given discourse encompasses social issues beyond the use of certain lexico-grammatical items, for example the social status of the parties involved, the relations that such linguistic items can establish and the reach of social media.

Por ocasião da publicação do mais recente livro em espanhol de José Machado Pais - Juventud y creatividad, 2020 -, esta conversa com Carles Feixa revê a carreira pessoal e intelectual deste sociólogo português, uma das referências em estudos da juventude na Europa e América Latina. Depois de evocar a adolescência e a juventude do protagonista em Portugal na década de 1970 - por volta da Revolução dos Cravos Vermelhos de 1974 que encerrou a ditadura salazarista - e revisar suas influências académicas, o texto centra-se nas suas contribuições para o estudo da juventude portuguesa e posteriormente europeia, bem como nas suas conexões com pesquisadores do Brasil e da América Latina. Na parte final do artigo, expõe-se a origem e o conteúdo do último de seus livros, o qual reúne cinco ensaios fundamentais sobre a criatividade dos jovens. Esta busca dos "ventos do tempo" não implica nenhum juízo de valor sobre os jovens em geral ou sobre uma geração em particular, mas uma aposta epistemológica no desvendamento dos rostos ocultos de uma emergência social, projetando-se para o futuro - ou para o não futuro -as complexidades do passado.

In this article, I analyze the literary paradigm of donzelas-guerreiras, as well as the use that literary criticism has made of this paradigm. In addition, I propose a queer reading of these characters, either from the idea of dissident masculinities, or from the idea that the transition between genders is part of human diversity, which separates us from the psychoanalytic readings that understand the dissidents and the transits between the genders like pathology and / or incomplete development. Because I believe there is an over-use of the paradigm to read different literary dissidents of gender, I also propose the unfolding of the paradigm of the donzela-guerreira in four other paradigms: male women, women warriors, maiden warrior and transgender warriors.
