No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese analisa elementos paratextuais em antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe lançados ou reeditados nos doze primeiros anos do século XXI, verificando de que forma o autor e sua obra são apresentados ao leitor através desses paratextos. Para tanto, analiso quartas capas, orelhas, prefácios, posfácios e notas. O nível de participação do tradutor na utilização desses elementos é também examinado, para que se possa averiguar até que ponto esse intermediador de culturas teve visibilidade nas publicações. A referida análise é norteada, principalmente, pelos fundamentos teóricos de Gérard Genette, sobretudo em seu livro intitulado Paratextos Editoriais (2009), do original Seuils (1987).Abstract : This thesis analyzes paratextual elements in Edgar Allan Poe's Brazilian anthologies of short stories published or reprinted in the first twelve years of the 21st century, observing how the author and his fictional writings are presented to the reader through those paratexts. Thus, I analyze back pages, flaps, forewords, afterwords, and notes. The use the translator made of those elements is examined in order to assess the translator's visibility in the published editions. The referred analysis is grounded mainly on Gérard Genette's theory, especially in his book entitled Editorial Paratexts (2009) from the original Seuils (1987)

His current research project is called, Men, Masculinity, and the Procreative Realm, for which he received a SSHRC Insight Grant. One of the research outcomes from this project, Men, Masculinities, and Infertility (Routledge 2022), is a book-length study of cultural representations of men’s infertility. Drawing on ideas of storytelling, this book explores how stories of infertility are told across popular fiction, canonical fiction, men’s memoirs of infertility, and film and television. A second project coming out of this research is a cultural study of vasectomy. Snip Snap will be an interdisciplinary study of the vasectomy, how it is represented in popular culture, and what the vasectomy means for sexuality and masculinity.

To what extent may the unfavorable viewpoints of critics on E. A. Poe's use of horror and social satire in his stories be refuted by examples from and analysis of the author's eight short stories?
No full textWith numerous short stories and poems, Edgar Allan Poe is considered to be the piquant and
astounding milestone of the American Literature. Yet, his style and achievements have always
been interpreted antagonistically by large numbers of critics. This study analyzes the features
unique to Edgar Allan Poe in his short stories “Murders In The Rue Morgue”, “The Fall of
The House of Usher”, “A Tale of Jerusalem”, “The Pit and The Pendulum”, “The System of
Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether”, “A Cask Of Amonillado”, “The Masque of Red Death”
and “The Man That Was Used Up” while refuting to chosen examples of negative reviews
about Edgar Allan Poe.
Due to the fact that Edgar Allan Poe is well-known for his usage horror, satire, humor and
fiction in his short stories, these qualities have been criticized mostly by many writers and
philosophers as well. In this sense, the scope of the study will be sharpened on how these
techniques are used in his short stories to make them nonpareil and what was Edgar Allan
Poe’s authorial intention while utilizing these attributes in his works. At this point the analysis
of the characters, themes and plot will be prioritized compared to the language and style that
Edgar Allan Poe uses in his texts.
Since the criticism against Poe focus on the usefulness of such features in his short stories and
how they intimidate the reader from the text, the study proves that the gap between Poe and
the reader is a simple issue of reciprocal misunderstanding which is proven to be artificial and
bogus with examples and facts from his short stories
A study of attendance and achievement in a rural Newfoundland high school
No full textThis study addresses the issue of attendance and achievement at a rural Newfoundland high school to determine if absenteeism has a negative influence on the academic achievement of high school students. This study does not address the issue of student dropout but is concerned with students who stay in school although they have poor attendance patterns. The study involved two Grade 12 classes, 1985-86 and 1986-87, at Fogo Island Central High School.
The specific questions investigated are: (1) Is there a difference in the academic achievement of individual high and low attenders? (2) Is there a relationship for whole classes between the students’ academic average and attendance in school? (3) Is there a cumulative effect of absenteeism on the academic standing of classes from Grade 8 to 12? (4) Will any effects of absenteeism on academic achievement be replicated in a second cohort? (5) What reasons will low attenders give as to why they choose not to attend school on a regular basis?
The analysis of the data revealed that there is a difference in academic achievement between those who attend regularly and those who do not. Students classified as infrequently absent had higher achievement, and those classified as frequently absent had lower achievement. A comparison of the achievement levels of individual high and low attenders for the 8th to 12th grade revealed significant t-test results, at least at the .05 level. In addition, the study revealed that the number of days of attendance at school correlated with the classes* academic average from Grade 8 to Grade 12. For all research questions investigated the second cohort revealed similar results.
In interviews the students were asked their reasons for not attending school. A number of areas were examined: attitude towards school, attitude towards the staff, attitude towards other students, attitude towards the school program, course difficulty, relevance of courses, teacher helpfulness, teacher encouragement, importance of high school diploma, school environment, effects of absenteeism, family encouragement, school patterns of other siblings, employment, and suggestions for improving attendance.© Allan Fudge, 198

Generalizing curriculum policy across boarders : crossing boundaries
No full text"This essay is a critique of the scientific and policy rationales for transnational standardization. It analyzes two examples of policy export: early childhood standards in one of North America’s oldest Indigenous communities and the ongoing development of international standards for university teaching. It examines calls for American education to look to Finland, Canada, and Singapore for models of reform and innovation, focusing on the complex historical, cultural, and political settlements at work in these countries. The author addresses two affiliated challenges: first, the possibility of a principled understanding of evidence and policy in cultural and political-economic context, and second, the possibility of a mediative educational science that might guide policy formation." -- EDUCATIONAL RESEARCHER November 2011 vol. 40 no. 8 367-37

Edgar Allan Poe's place in literature
No full textThe more a person is subjected to criticism, the greater he usually is, for critics will not ordinarily criticize unless the subject is worthy of study and comment.
Few writers have been as severely criticized as Edgar Allan Poe, and even fewer have had to endure as much injustice. Certainly, no other American writer has been subjected to similar attacks. It is paradoxical that such a harshly criticized and detested author at home should scale the heights of glory and admiration to which he climbed in foreign opinion
