The intent of parody in Galiléia was not ridiculing the Bible, but use it as a model by which places the contemporary interior at focus. The analysis of the parody allowed the reflection and understanding to the writing. By appropriation textual, the novel of the Brito showed his self-consciousness ficcional and self-reflexivity.

Desse modo foi possível analisar que quando o autor dá a Bíblia um novo contexto, a paródia se configura nessa abordagem criativa do texto do passado. Brito reescreve o texto bíblico com nova perspectiva nos acontecimentos. A intenção da paródia em Galiléia não foi ridicularizar a Bíblia, mas utilizá-la como modelo por meio da qual coloca o sertão contemporâneo sob foco. A análise da paródia possibilitou o entendimento e a reflexão da escrita. Pela apropriação textual, o romance de Brito revelou sua autoconsciência ficcional e autorreflexividade. A argumentação da paródia foi baseada nos pressupostos defendidos por Linda Hutcheon que elaborou a sua própria teoria que caracteriza toda arte moderna. Também são de acordo com a poética do pós-modernismo de Linda Hutcheon, complementadas com o pensamento de outros teóricos como Fredric Jameson, Jean François Lyotard, Stuart Hall, e Roland Barthes, as análises de crítica literária deste estudo

    Zhen Wang,1–3 Juan P Brito,4 Apostolos Tsapas,5 Marcio L Griebeler,4 Fares Alahdab,1,3 Mohammad Hassan Murad,1,3,61Robert D and Patricia E Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery, 2Division of Health Care Policy and Research, Department of Health Sciences Research, 3Knowledge and Evaluation Research Unit, 4Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism, and Nutrition, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA; 5Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece; 6Division of Preventive, Occupational and Aerospace Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USABackground: High-quality systematic reviews (SRs) require rigorous approaches to identify, appraise, select, and synthesize research evidence relevant to a specific question. In this study, we evaluated the association between two steps in the conduct of an SR – restricting the search to English, and author contact for missing data – and the overall credibility of a SR.Methods: All SRs cited by the Endocrine Society's Clinical Practice Guidelines published from October 2006 through January 2012 were included. The main outcome was the overall A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) score, as a surrogate of SR credibility. Nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis tests and multivariable linear regression models were used to investigate the association between language restriction, author contact for missing data, and the overall AMSTAR score.Results: In all, 69 SRs were included in the analysis. Only 31 SRs (45%) reported searching non-English literature, with an average AMSTAR score of 7.90 (standard deviation [SD] =1.64). SRs that reported language restriction received significantly lower AMSTAR scores (mean =5.25, SD =2.32) (P<0.001). Only 30 SRs (43%) reported contacting authors for missing data, and these received, on average, 2.59 more AMSTAR points (SD =1.95) than those who did not (P<0.001). In multivariable analyses, AMSTAR score was significantly correlated with language restriction (beta =-1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.62, -0.01, P=0.05) and author contact for missing data (beta =2.16, 95% CI: 0.91, 3.41, P=0.001). However, after adjusting for compliance with reporting guidelines, language restriction was no longer significantly associated with the AMSTAR score.Conclusion: Fewer than half of the SRs conducted to support the clinical practice guidelines we examined reported contacting study authors or searched non–English literature. SRs that did not conduct these two steps had lower quality scores, suggesting the importance of these two steps for overall SR credibility.Keywords: evidence-based medicine, research design, validity, quality of evidenc
