    No full text
    Resumo: O texto foca na questão da educação em sua interface com a filosofia visando a indagar sobre a dialogicidade fundamental aos processos educativos. Inicia propondo um contexto de fala para, em seguida, discutir dimensões antropológicas a serem consideradas na educação. Para tanto, convida Paulo Freire para o debate discutindo suas concepções de homem e mundo problematizando a categoria diálogo em seu pensamento. Finalmente, aborda a questão da filosofia e seu ensino vislumbrando o cenário do filosofar em sala de aula. Palavras-chave: Filosofia. Diálogo. Antropologia.   Abstract: The text focuses on the matter of education in its interface with philosophy, aiming at an inquiry on the dialogicity fundamental to educational processes. It starts from a context of speech in order to, thereafter, discuss anthropological dimensions to be considered in education. For this purpose, it invites Paulo Freire to join the dialogue by discussing his conceptions of man and world and problematizing the dialogue category in his thought. Finally, it approaches the question of philosophy and its teaching with a glimpse of the scenario of philosophizing in classroom. Keywords: Philosophy. Dialogue.

    Junot Diaz burst onto the literary scene when he was 28, a young Dominican who wrote about growing up poor and fatherless in New Jersey. But when it came time to write a novel, he got stuck on page 75. It wasn\u27t that I couldn\u27t write. I wrote every day. In bed, on the toilet, on the No. 6 train, at Shea Stadium.... But none of it worked. Author Junot Diaz tells us how he finally finished his novel ten years later and snagged the Pulitzer Prize

    Language and Race in Junot Diaz’s Literature

    No full text
    The recent trend of Dominican migration to the United States echoes previous patterns of Hispanic migration but with some characteristic aspects concerning race. As 75% of this Dominican migrant population is mulatto, their classification as black people in the U.S. has affected the way they see themselves compared to people still living in the Dominican Republic; this classification has also determined the living conditions that they are offered in a racially dualized world such as the U.S.. Junot Diaz, Dominican-American author, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his first long novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. His literature vividly depicts the life of this community,both in the U. S. and in the Dominican Republic, and his use of a musical and meaningful Spanglish is an implicit denouncement of the racism suffered but also paradoxically practiced by Dominicans. This paper will illuminate these aspects of race and identity in Junot Diaz’s literary work.Departmental Bulletin Paperdepartmental bulletin pape

    The black story teller: An examination of Junot Diaz’s nation language narrator, 2020

    No full text
    This study examines Junot Diaz’s use of nation language. An award-winning author, Diaz has written a series of stories told through Yunior, his Dominican narrator. Unlike most African Diasporic fiction, Diaz’s narrator does not always subscribe to the rules of English. Instead, he tells his story in several languages, including, what is popularly referred to as, “Ebonics.” The study explicates the work of Diaz through the lens of scholars, most importantly, Ngugi wa Thiongo, Kamau Brathwaite, and Frantz Fanon. These three writers argue for the acceptance of dialect in formal and informal settings. They propose that the reclamation of ancestral tongues is essential to the liberation of Africa and her descendants from the grips of European colonialism. As Diaz uses linguistic variety to explore the various elements of Black American and Black Dominican life, his words present nation language as a preserver of culture and a salvation for the future

    Stretching the limits of comfortable intelligibilities: defying (Author)itarianisms in Junot Díaz's "The brief wondrous life of Oscar Wao" (2007)

    No full text
    Màster Oficial en Construcció i Representació d'Identitats Culturals (CRIC), curs 2010-2011.Postmodern literature has been frequently associated with political detachment from historical realities. The main purpose of this dissertation is to analyze Junot Díaz's "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" (2007) as a postmodern novel that not only proposes political engagement, but also demands from the reader a critical response to the atrocities carried out in the name of Eurocentric notions of the other. This study of the novel's postmodern formal and aesthetic devices tries to draw conclusions as to the author's questioning of the nature of (author)ity and the ways in which (author)itarianism has traditionally operated as the main political resource from Columbus's "discovery" of America until Bush's "War on Terror." Furthermore, this dissertation exposes the novel's questioning of the ideological basis of Latin American dictatorships (the Trujillato in the Dominican Republic), genocide, slavery and the systematic exploitation of native populations
