    "Gen Ed locates serious discussion of general education in the context of some of the day-to-day realities encountered in putting it into practice and promoting efforts at reform at Metropolitan Atlantic University (aka the Metro). This dual focus is found in the often-pugnacious policy debate among the faculty and a more light-hearted discussion of related questions carried on by Professor Kelly as he models Socratic teaching in his upper-level class for prospective teachers. Reforming general education at the Metro is not free of the vanities and vulgarities of ambitious men and women and self-serving politicians, of course, nor those who poke fun at them. Arnie Smatter, the irrepressible and nosey chat show host of Radio YOY ensures that this does not go unnoticed. The overall humorous tone of Gen Ed does not detract from Mulcahy's thoughtful treatment of substantive issues that will be of interest to serious scholars, students, and a general readership. It is the behaviour of those involved, the broader media and political contexts in which events take place, which mainly becomes the object of humorous treatment"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Chapter 1 -- Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3 -- Chapter 4 -- Chapter 5 -- Chapter 6 -- Chapter 7 -- Chapter 8 -- Chapter 9 -- Chapter 10 -- Chapter 11 -- Chapter 12 -- Chapter 13 -- Chapter 14 -- Chapter 15 -- Chapter 16 -- Chapter 17 -- Chapter 18 -- Chapter 19 -- Chapter 20 -- Appendix: Questions for Discussion, Suggested Topics for Term Papers and Research Projects -- References -- About the Author."Gen Ed locates serious discussion of general education in the context of some of the day-to-day realities encountered in putting it into practice and promoting efforts at reform at Metropolitan Atlantic University (aka the Metro).

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Plural nu: uma visão indefinida

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística, Florianópolis, 2011O objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a distribuição e interpretação do plural nu no português brasileiro (doravante PB). Para isso, começamos por mostrar, no primeiro capítulo, como a genericidade se manifesta nas línguas naturais, tomando por base o clássico estudo de Krifka et. al. (1995). Ainda no primeiro capítulo, tratamos da proposta de Carlson (1977 principalmente), que analisa o plural nu do inglês como um designador rígido, e do trabalho de Chierchia (1998), que desenvolve essa proposta e a amplia para as demais línguas através do parâmetro de mapeamento nominal. No segundo capítulo, apresentamos as análises para o plural nu do PB, mostrando que existem basicamente duas propostas: a de Müller (2000, 2002a, 2004), que entende o plural nu como um indefinido genérico, e a de Schmitt & Munn (1999, 2002) e Dobrovie-Sorin & Pires de Oliveira (2008), que entendem o plural nu do PB como nome de espécie. Além delas, Müller (2002b) argumenta em favor da ambiguidade deste sintagma. No terceiro capítulo, defendemos a análise segundo a qual o plural nu do PB é um indefinido. Para isso, mostramos que, nos testes propostos por Krifka et. al. (1995), o comportamento deste sintagma não é compatível nem com um nome de referência a espécie, nem com a análise que o toma como um elemento ambíguo (cf. Müller, 2002b). Mostramos também que o plural nu entra em relações de escopo (seguindo Pires de Oliveira & Rothstein (2010)) e tem interpretação não-contraditória em contexto de coordenação, além de se comportar como o indefinido singular em contextos de retomada por anáfora possessiva (seguindo a intuição de Viotti & Müller, 2003). Tomamos todos esses fatos como evidências em favor de nossa análise. Também mostramos que o plural nu necessita de átomos em sua denotação e que ele não necessariamente é ordenado em termos de reticulado. No quarto capítulo, mostramos que o plural nu e o singular nu apresentam diferenças em sua distribuição e interpretação, contrariamente ao que se normalmente se assume, na mesma linha de Pires de Oliveira & Rothstein (2010)
