High Rise, Free Fall: Translating Class, Race, and Tragedy in Frances de Pontes Peebles’s Fiction. Introduction by Sarah Lucena<em>Queda Livre</em> by Frances de Pontes Peebles, translation into Portuguese by Sarah Lucena
No full text
Abstract: The short story “High Rise” was published in 2021 by Brazilian-American author Frances de Pontes Peebles. The story reflects the socio-political tensions surrounding the death of a five-year-old boy who fell from the ninth floor of a luxurious high-rise in Recife, Brazil, during the Covid-19 pandemic. It explores how neglect and violence shape the lives of Brazil’s marginalized groups, highlighting the ways social hierarchies are maintained even amid global crises like the pandemic. The translation into Portuguese is introduced by a discussion of the story within Brazil’s social, historical, and political framework. It also examines the challenges and nuances of translating such a culturally specific narrative for a Brazilian readership.

Resumo: O conto “High Rise” foi publicado em 2021 pela autora brasileiro-americana Frances de Pontes Peebles. A narrativa reflete as tensões sociopolíticas que vêm à tona quando um menino de cinco anos cai do nono andar de um edifício de alto padrão no Recife durante a pandemia de Covid-19. O texto explora como a negligência e a violência determinam a vida de grupos marginalizados no Brasil, evidenciando também como as hierarquias sociais são mantidas mesmo durante uma crise global como a pandemia. A tradução para o português é precedida por uma discussão sobre o texto e o entorno social, histórico e político do Brasil e examina decisões e desafios de traduzir uma narrativa localizada no Nordeste para o público brasileiro.

A cognitive architecture-based model of graph comprehension
No full textI present a model of expert comprehension performance for 2 × 2 "interaction" graphs typically used to present data from two-way factorial research designs. Developed using the ACT-R cognitive architecture, the model simulates the cognitive and perceptual operations involved in interpreting interaction graphs and provides a detailed characterisation of the information extracted from the diagram, the prior knowledge required to interpret interaction graphs, and the knowledge generated during the comprehension process. The model produces a scan path of attention fixations and a symbolic description of the interpretation which can be compared to human eye movement and verbal protocol data respectively, provides an account of the strategic processes that control comprehension, and makes explicit what underlies the differences between expert and novice performance

"What" versus "how" in nonvisual whole-body movement
No full textDissociable processes for conscious perception (“what” processing) and guidance of action (“how” processing) have been identified in visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems. The present study was designed to find similar dissociation within whole-body movements in which the presence of vestibular information creates a unique perceptual condition. In two experiments, blindfolded participants walked along a linear path and specified the walked distance by verbally estimating it (“what” measure) and by pulling a length of tape that matched the walked distance (“how” measure). Although these two measures yielded largely comparable responses under a normal walking condition, variability in verbal estimates showed a qualitatively different pattern from that in tape-pulling when sensory input into walking was altered by having participants wear a heavy backpack. This suggests that the “what” versus “how” dissociation exists in whole-body movements as well, supporting a claim that it is a general principle with which perceptual systems are organized
