Analysis of nonlocal effects on plane waves in a transversely isotropic visco-thermoelastic medium with variable thermal conductivity

PurposeThis study aims to analyse the behaviour of plane waves within a nonlocal transversely isotropic visco-thermoelastic medium having variable thermal conductivity.Design/methodology/approachThe concept of enunciation is used in the generalized theory of thermoelasticity in accordance with the Green–Lindsay and Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity models. The linear viscoelasticity model developed by Kelvin–Voigt is used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of transversely isotropic materials.FindingsIt has been noticed that three plane waves, which are coupled together, travel through the medium at three different speeds. The derivation of reflection coefficients and energy ratios for reflected waves is carried out by incorporating suitable boundary conditions. Numerical computations are performed for the amplitude ratios, phase speeds and energy partition and displayed in graphical form.Originality/valueThe outcomes of the numerical simulation demonstrate that the amplitude ratios are significantly influenced by variable thermal conductivity, nonlocal parameters and viscosity. It is further observed from the plots that the phase speeds in a transversely isotropic medium depend on the angle of incidence. In addition, it has been established that the energy is preserved during the reflection phenomenon.

Racismo, ressentimento e resistência: o baile de Vinicius Junior sobre o recalque espanhol

In this work, we propose to analyze the discursive practices of racial exclusion in relation to the black Brazilian athlete Vinicius Junior in European soccer. With this study, we aim to contribute to Foucauldian discursive studies, starting with the explanation of the notion of enuncia-tive function in the analysis of racist discourses, and showing that the statements always point to others that belong to the same enunciate network. To carry out the analysis, we will use, as meth-odological tools, the studies of Discourse Analysis carried out by Michel Foucault, especially the concepts of enunciation, power, and resistance. We will carry out the analyses to verify the presence of discursive regularities of animalization, dehumanization, and demoralization of excluded sub-jects. In addition, we will analyze the materialization of emotions in the statements that make up the discourses of resentment and repression. We will start with the statement that you must respect your opponent. When you score a goal, if you want to dance, go to the Sambadrome in Brazil. Here, what you must do is respect your fellow professionals and stop monkeying around to carry out the proposed checks. This research will result in an understanding of the discursive functioning of the relations of power in which black Brazilian athletes are inserted in European soccer.

Marcas de subjetividade enunciativa e ensino de PLE

The concepts of enunciation and subjectivity gain theoretical centrality in Benveniste's work. If enunciation is defined as the conversion of language into discourse, subjectivity is "the ability of the speaker to propose himself as a subject" in this enunciation (Benveniste 1988:286), to propose himself as I, establishing through the same enunciative act a YOU. Subjectivity is always intersubjectivity. The speaker shares with his addressee the ways of being present that he chooses depending on various constraints, or rules and regularities of language use. Learning a foreign language means learning these ways of being present in discourse. The aim of this work is to show how some of the linguistic-discursive categories through which the speaker constructs his (inter)subjectivity can be applied to the teaching of Portuguese as a foreign language (PLE). The analysis of the forms of address in a small corpusof birthday messages allows us to exemplify these values and uses.

Saussure’s dichotomies and the shapes of structuralist semiotics

The Cours de linguistique générale (1916), which became the master text for structuralist linguistics and semiotics, is characterized by a series of dichotomies. Some of them, e.g. langue and parole, signified and signifier, arbitrary and motivated, are very well known, others less so. This paper looks at Saussure’s semiotics in terms of these dichotomies, and considers how later critiques, such as Voloshinov’s (1929), and reformulations, particularly Hjelmslev’s (1935, 1942) and the concept of enunciation which emerged conjointly in the work of Jakobson, Lacan, Dubois, Benveniste and others, were shaped as responses to the Saussurean dichotomies. Also examined in terms of its contrast with Saussure is Bally’s stylistics. The aim is a fuller understanding of the shapes taken by structuralist semiotics, in view of the heritage on which they were based and the broader intellectual climate, including phenomenology and Marxism, in which they developed.

Ensinar e aprender ciências: processos dialeticamente mediados pelas interações em aula

Resumo: Apresentamos recorte de pesquisa-ação acerca das interações dialógicas em aulas de Ciências do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental que foram vídeo-gravadas, transcritas e analisadas, segundo a “Teoria das Interações Discursivas” de Bakhtin, utilizando-se do conceito de enunciação como categoria analítica. O objetivo geral da pesquisa consiste em reconhecer como ocorrem as relações de mediação em sala de aula e como se dá a construção conceitual dos estudantes, imersos em processos ativos e mediados. Para este artigo, objetiva-se, especificamente, apresentar e discutir resultados parciais em termos das categorias analíticas – matematização do conteúdo e conflito entre modelos explicativos – as quais demonstraram os indícios de significação conceitual ocorridos no decurso das interações discursivas mediadas pelas diferentes formas de linguagem. Estabeleceu-se como hipótese de pesquisa que, a partir da escuta atenta às manifestações dos estudantes, imersos em processos interativos de aprender, é possível legitimá-las como mediações operativas no processo pedagógico. O caminho da investigação consistiu em identificar os fenômenos de interesse dos estudantes motivados pelos diálogos interativos ocorridos no contexto da aula, como ferramentas de mediação cognitiva e inseri-las no curso de novas interações conceituais e contextuais. Os resultados apresentados dão indícios de elaborações conceituais, pelos estudantes que ressignificam dialogicamente os fenômenos em estudo via linguagem científica, produzindo aprendizagens mediadas no ato pedagógico. Aprendizagens são percebidas em termos da evolução do perfil conceitual, em que os conhecimentos científicos, dentre outros, elaborados pelos estudantes, dialogicamente confirmam a hipótese de pesquisa. Palavras-chave: Enunciação. Conceitos científicos. Linguagem.

Ladrão de galinhas: um diálogo sobre a estética no livro de imagem

Resumo As literaturas cujas narrativas são realizadas exclusivamente pela imagem firmaram, ao longo do tempo, a mesma importância que os demais gêneros disponíveis nos espaços educacionais. Devido a isso, propomo-nos a analisar os atributos estéticos que compõem uma dessas obras, Ladrão de galinha, de autoria de Béatrice Rodriguez (2009), selecionada e enviada pelo Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola (PNBE) às redes públicas de Educação Infantil, na edição de 2014. Adotamos como metodologia a abordagem qualitativa, tomando como referencial a semiótica de Barthes (2013b). Utilizamos os conceitos de enunciado, deslocamento e representação, partícipes no processo de significação textual, entendendo que estes contribuem para que os demais atributos estéticos sejam comunicantes eficazes na fruição da literatura visual. Dentre os demais especialistas, apoiamo-nos no suporte teórico de Collaro (2012), Gomes Filho (2014), Heller (2014), Hunt (2010), Kandinsky (1997), Kant (2013), Linden (2011), Neitzel e Carvalho (2013), Neitzel e Oliani (2008), Nikolajeva e Scott (2011), Santaella (2012), Todorov (2011), Willsberg e Forssman (2007). Constatamos que há uma contínua busca no aprimoramento do livro composto exclusivamente de imagens, que permitem uma apreciação do texto visual para além do entretenimento, tornando-o objeto de fruição pela experiência estética que proporciona. Colocamos em discussão a “leiturabilidade” do texto visual permitindo aceitar, rejeitar, aprimorar e questionar as possibilidades de leitura que mobilizam o pensamento.

Aproximações teóricas em “<i>Is the man who is tall happy?: An animated conversation with Noam Chomsky</i>”: sistemas <i>input</i> e <i>output</i> e o conceito greimasiano de enunciação

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão em torno do enunciador Michel Gondry, observando o interesse do cineasta francês pela teoria do linguista americano Noam Chomsky. Nosso objetivo, sem pretender exaustão, é refletir sobre algumas questões sobre o conhecimento de Gondry sobre a teoria linguística de Chomsky e como seu processo criativo apresenta esse conhecimento no filme “Is the man who is tall happy?: an animated conversation with Noam Chomsky”. Assim, nossa intenção é conduzir um breve diálogo que permite uma análise em semiótica francesa, trazendo uma aproximação entre conceitos desta teoria e uma interpretação conceitual do gerativismo chomskyano expressa no filme de Gondry. Para essa discussão, levamos em conta os conceitos de merge (Chomsky 1992, 1995) e sistemas de input/output (Chomsky [2012] 2014) e como eles são apresentados na obra de Gondry por meio do conceito de enunciação, constante no Dicionário de Semiótica, de Greimas e Courtés (1983).

Two concepts of enunciation

Abstract In elaborating his notion of generative trajectory of meaning, with the intent to explain the abstractions which take place during the act of reading a text, Greimas borrows Benveniste’s original concept of enunciation as an instance of mediation, and reformulates it. An instance is a set of categories that creates a theoretical domain, therefore, an analysis domain. This paper explores the epistemological reasons that led Greimas to place enunciation on the path from the semio-narrative level to the discursive level of the generative trajectory of meaning, and shows the scope of the Greimasian concept of enunciation, that is, the categories and operations included therein. In addition, it presents the modifications to the Greimasian concept suggested by tensive semiotics, and discusses the possibility of reconciling both models.

UDSIGELSE OG KULTURMØDER: Om sammenhængen mellem postkolonial litteratur og ansættelse af nydanskere

This article sets out to discuss how we may work with the notion of ‘cultural
 encounters’. Two examples are presented and discussed: One is drawn from the
 novel Monnè, outrages et défis (1990) by the prize-winning Ivorian author
 Ahmadou Kourouma. The other example refers to a job interview of an ethnic
 minority Dane in Denmark, published in a review by a Danish municipal
 administration (Århus Kommune) in 2003. The article brings a number of critical
 literary theories into dialogue in order to discuss two major points. First, the article
 shows how the chosen theoretical notions can help us to describe what happens
 in situations of communication where different, and possibly incommensurable,
 agents and contexts meet and interact in settings that are marked by conceptions
 of cultural differences. The theories used are Michel Foucault’s discursive formations,
 Emile Benveniste’s concept of enunciation, Mikhail Bakhtin’s reflexions of
 contrapuntal narratives, and Homi Bhabha’s theorisation of the anteriority of the
 sign as it occurs in a disjunctive temporality. Secondly, the article introduces a
 new interpretative method of how literary texts and critical literary theory may
 be used within anthropological studies. Instead of focusing on the notion of
 ‘identities’ and the ensuing conflicts between difference and sameness, this
 approach focuses on cultural articulations as dynamic communicative processes.
 In so doing, it situates itself within literary and anthropological theories of
 representation. Making a close reading of the chosen texts, the article shows that
 cultural encounters are never merely a question of ‘culture’. Cultural encounters
 become communicative scenarios where ideas, motives, intentions, and emotions
 are expressed, interpreted, and received by differently reacting agents.
