Charles Reis Felix’s 1934
No full textAbstract. Reis Felix claims he has no imagination in order to justify the closeness between his fiction and his experienced life. When editing the Portuguese translation of his short novel, Da Gama, Cary Grant, and the Election of 1934, it became clear to me that Reis Felix is being endearingly but also unnecessarily modest. For two main reasons: 1) all fiction is autobiographical; 2) by giving form to his memory, Reis Felix accomplished a magnificent work of imagination. Mainly, where was he—the alter ego of the author—in the climatic cinema scene where a young woman faces the hardship of love whilst watching an (as far as I could verify, I’m still searching) inexistent Cary Grant movie
Di(vulgar) a ciência: José Reis e alguns apontamentos sobre o método
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.A proposta da pesquisa é elaborar criticamente o conceito de divulgação científica tendo por objeto de estudo os textos publicados pelo médico, jornalista e divulgador José Reis (1907-2002) na revista Anhembi entre 1955 e 1962. A escolha por Reis leva em conta o seu pioneirismo na divulgação no âmbito brasileiro e por ter transformado a ciência de forma geral em bandeira nacional. Pelo fato de a divulgação trazer implicitamente a separação entre o alto e o baixo, mestre e ignorante, além de empunhar em seu discurso uma ideia de ciência racional e objetiva, este trabalho acredita que o problema da divulgação envolve aspectos epistemológicos e metodológicos relevantes, inclusive para serem pensados no espaço das chamadas ciências humanas. A partir desta linha, a pesquisa põe em questão as relações entre ciência e filosofia, ciência e literatura, a fim de pensar, no limite, a própria ciência como ficção.Abstract : The objective of this paper is critically elaborate the concept of scientific divulgation having as object of study texts published by the physician and journalist José Reis (1907-2002) in Anhembi journal between 1955 and 1962. The choice of Reis takes into account its pioneering in the brazilian context and the fact that he has transformed science in general in a national flag. The divulgation brings implicitly the separation between high and low, master and ignorant, and carries in his speech an idea of rational and objective science. Because of that, this paper believes that the problem of scientific divulgation involves relevant epistemological and methodological aspects, even to be thought in the space of human sciences. In this way, the research calls into question the relationship between science and philosophy, science and literature, in order to think, ultimately, science itself as fiction
RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
No full textThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)

The Relative Pronoun d- and the Pronominal Suffixes in Mandaic, in Journal of Semitic Studies 52.1 (2007): 71–78 (Manchester)
No full textThe enclitic pronominal suffixes in Neo-Mandaic are affixed to nouns and prepositions via two separate strategies. Nearly all nouns and prepositions inherited directly from Classical Mandaic take pronominal suffixes directly. All loanwords, and an extremely circumscribed set of original Mandaic words, receive pronominal suffixes after an enclitic particle, –d-. Rudolph Macuch suggested in his Handbook of Classical and Modern Mandaic that this particle is derived from the Classical Mandaic relative pronoun, d-. The evidence, however, suggests that this particle is an innovation, which ultimately derives from the metathesis of the final two root consonants of Classical Mandaic qam / qadmia ‘to, for’ (Neo-Mandaic qam / qamdi-), from which it spread by analogy to new lexical items.This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in The Journal of Semitic Studies following peer review.

The Neo-Mandaic Dialect of Khorramshahr
No full textNeo-Mandaic is the only surviving dialect of Aramaic to be recognized as a direct descendant of any of the classical dialects of Late Antiquity. The Mandaeans who speak it are adherents of a pre-Islamic Gnostic sect, the only such sect to survive to the present day. As such, Mandaic may be considered as both a living language of the modern Middle East and also the vehicle of one of the great religious traditions of that region, along with Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian. Unfortunately, Neo-Mandaic is severely endangered, and all signs indicate that the current generation of speakers is likely to be the last. As a description of an endangered language, this work addresses one of the chief concerns of linguists in the 21st century, namely the impending loss of the majority of the world's languages and the immense threat to both linguistic and cultural diversity that it represents. This grammar is the first account of a previously undocumented dialect of Neo-Mandaic, and the most thorough description of any Neo-Mandaic dialect. In addition to a description of its phonology, inflectional paradigms, and morphosyntax, it includes a collection of ten texts, transcribed and translated, as well as a concise lexicon of the vocabulary found within these texts
