A representação feminina nos filmes de terror O exorcista e Hereditário: uma análise comparativa entre as personagens Regan MecNeil e Annie Graham
No full textA presente pesquisa busca discutir a representação feminina no cinema de terror a partir da
análise das personagens Regan McNeil, do filme O Exorcista (1973), e Annie Graham do filme
Hereditário (2018). Os filmes citados são nomes relevantes no universo cinematográfico,
principalmente do gênero terror uma vez que trazem em sua constituição temas que estão além
daquilo que é perceptível, ou seja, pautas e temáticas sociais que transcende a questão do medo
e do sobrenatural. Desse modo, buscamos compreender como os corpos femininos são
representados no que concerne ao processo de possessão que apresenta uma suposta fragilidade
feminina, levando em consideração aspectos sociais, culturais e temporais. Para atingir o
objetivo, esta pesquisa engloba discussões referentes ao cinema – em específico ao gênero
terror; as representações femininas de Lilith e Eva no tocante a Bíblia e a objetificação da figura
feminina. O marco teórico desenvolvido neste estudo apresenta as considerações de estudiosos
como Kristeva (1982), Nogueira (2010), Beauvoir (2014), Sabadin (2018), Roubles (2019),
entre outros pesquisadores que tem contribuído na área de cinema e representação feminina. Os
diálogos da corpora e das teorias mostram que a ligação da figura feminina está relacionada a
uma suposta fragilidade social que caracteriza as personagens em análise e isso pode justificar
o porquê de seus corpos serem possuídos. Representadas como lar de demônios e canal do
pecado na sociedade, a representação do corpo feminina tem sido e possivelmente será motivo
para debates futuros sobre o tema, pois apesar de avanços significativos nas discussões
acadêmicas e sociais – como os movimentos ativistas - que têm rompido com os paradigmas
que colocam a mulher em uma posição de inferioridade, ainda tem muito que ser feito, já que
na contemporaneidade o modo como enxergar-se a mulher ainda tem um grande poder diligente
do sistema patriarcal. Dessa maneira, reconhece-se que a mulher está ligada a dor, ao medo e a
prisão de não ter controle de seu próprio corpo como foi notado nas análises
A construção das subjetividades femininas em como água para chocolate, de Laura Esquivel
Get PDFThis dissertation proposes an analysis of the development of the female subjectivities in Como água para chocolate, by Mexican author Laura Esquivel, taking into consideration the gastronomic discourse present throughout the novel. For this purpose, our endeavor contemplates four possibilities of investigation, aiming for a better understanding of said phenomenon: the presence of women’s voices in the process of (re)writing History; the movements of oppression and resistance in the kitchen space; the affect among characters weaved from the gastronomic discourse; and the different standpoints on motherhood. Our theoretical framework encompasses an interdisciplinary study, undergoing Literary Theory and Criticism, History, Historiography, Philosophy and the study on the relation between the culinary rhetoric and literature, something that allows for a more comprehensive and meaningful approach. Our arguments are supported by theoretical principles drawn mainly from Woolf (2014), Sceats (2003), Badinter (1985) e Hutcheon (1987). As a result of the dialogue between the novel and the theoretical framework, we have been able to discuss the ways in which Esquivel constructs a singular narrative, demonstrating inventive capacity, resistance and empowerment of her female characters deriving from the experiences of everyday life, and subverting the expectations of representation of those characters in the literary canon.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESA presente dissertação propõe uma investigação acerca da construção das subjetividades femininas em Como água para chocolate, da autora mexicana Laura Esquivel, a partir do discurso gastronômico que perpassa o romance. Para tanto, nosso trabalho contempla quatro caminhos de análise, objetivando melhor compreender a constituição de tal fenômeno: as vozes das mulheres no processo de (re)escrita da história; os movimentos de opressão e resistência no espaço da cozinha; as relações de afeto construídas a partir do dado gastronômico; e os diferentes lugares do materno. Nosso embasamento teórico se alicerça em um estudo interdisciplinar que transita por diferentes áreas de conhecimento, como Teoria e Crítica Literária, História, Historiografia, Filosofia e pelos estudos da relação entre o discurso culinário e a literatura, o que nos permite abordar as propostas de análise de forma mais abrangente e significativa. Nosso referencial teórico se constitui especialmente pelas discussões de Woolf (2014), Sceats (2003), Badinter (1985) e Hutcheon (1987). Notamos, como consequência do diálogo entre romance e teorias, como Esquivel constrói uma narrativa singular, demonstrando potência para a inventividade, resistência e protagonismo de suas personagens femininas a partir das vivências do efêmero, subvertendo as expectativas de representação e empoderamento de tais personagens no cânone literário
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
On Booze: a representation of The Roaring Twenties in the great Gatsby
No full textFitzgerald is considered by many to be the spokesperson of the 1920’s post-World War I, offering his readers a distinctive look into the Golden Age of the U.S.A.. This article focuses on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece The great Gatsby (2001) and its representation and criticism of the historical context in which author and novel are inserted: the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties of the United States of America. For this purpose, our critical framework is based on Bloom’s (2006) and Heise’s (2001) studies on the subject, targeting a pertinent dialogue with Fitzgerald’ s work. As a result of our articulation between the critical framework and the corpus, we were able to recognize how the American author managed to express in his work a keen perception of the social conventions and the morals of the Jazz Age, of both the overt (the parties and the ostentation) and the covert aspects (the emptiness of that society and the unspoken post-war dread) of his time
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
