Ce texte propose une réflexion sur le rôle que la correspondance peut jouer dans le champ de la critique génétique. À partir d’un exemple spécifique, des extraits de lettres que l’écrivain Caio Fernando Abreu a écrites à son amie Vera Antoun, au début des années 1970, j’essaie d’identifier quels dires, dans ce type d’écrit intime visant avant tout à communiquer, sont traces de création. Quand et comment une lettre peut-elle devenir document de travail? Qu’est-ce qu’une lettre peut révéler sur le processus créatif de celui qui l’écrit? Voilà quelques-uns des points de réflexion qui seront débattus.

Certains peuvent être préoccuper par la fin de la critique génétique compte tenu du fait qu’un grand nombre d’écrivains utilisent l’ordinateur pour écrire leurs textes. Cependant, même s’il n’y a plus de brouillons, de cahiers ou de manuscrits, l’objet d’étude réel de la critique génétique : le processus de création, reste intact. C’est ce dernier qui doit être analysé, indépendamment du support utilisé par l’écrivain.

Parmi les architectes de la première moitié du XXe, dans le Rio Grande do Sul, Theo Wiederspahn occupe une place de choix. Son architecture éminemment éclectique se distingue de ce qui se pratiquait alors. Cet éclectisme est également responsable de l’oubli dans lequel lui et son oeuvre furent relégués lors de l’ascension du modernisme. Aujourd’hui, bien heureusement, son oeuvre est revalorisée et divulguée comme, de fait, elle le mérite. Et c’est dans ce but que la Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul est devenue le gardien des archives qu’il a laisées.

History as an academic field has claimed for a scientific status since ever. Along the 20th Century, historians had been criticized for pushing too hard their aim at to give History a scientific framework by adopting a technical and even a hermetic language. Such a strategy led to the raising of a countertrend which states a sort of “a return to narrative”. In this intellectual context, this essay aims at to analyze a sample of historical narrative which failure lies in its narrative excesses.

In questo articolo intendiamo analizzare la traduzione da un punto di vista genetico, ossia, vogliamo considerare in che modo avviene il processo traduttorio e se possiamo considerarlo anche un processo di creazione testuale e artistica. La nostra proposta nasce dall´esigenza di superare stereotipi teorici secondo i quali la traduzione non sarebbe una vera creazione e che il testo di arrivo e il traduttore non avrebbero uno status autonomo in relazione al testo di partenza. Intendiamo quindi mostrare in che modo i manoscritti di traduttori possono rivelare le peculiarità di questo processo creativo al fine di caratterizzarlo come un processo reale di scrittura.

Ao refletir sobre as Américas e a americanidade, buscamos destacar o conceito de mobilidade como uma característica dominante das culturas americanas e que se manifesta através de passagens, deslocamentos e transferências. Essa transitoriedade está presente em diferentes níveis, tais como: cultural, discursivo, temporal, espacial e contribui para consolidar e favorecer a percepção dos imaginários e das relações transversais entre as Américas.

Opposing to descriptions that deal separately with interlocutive and interdiscursive aspects of language, this study aims at showing that enunciative facts present heterogeneities that articulates, in a subject’s saying, the other to whom she addresses herself and the other of the already-said. On the basis of Bakhtin’s dialogism, the paper proposes to discuss discursive alterity as established in two solidary plans: alterity represented for forms observable in language and constitutive alterity, pointing to the relationship with the other that saying produces.

In this text, there is a discussion of the foundations of the aesthetic Philosophy of Mikhail Bakhtin and his friends of the so-called Bakhtin Circle. It is also argued that the concept of “excess of seeing” is the nexus that links Bakhtin´s aesthetic and ethic ideas.

Placing in the context of studies on polyphony, in which the works by Oswald Ducrot (semantic polyphony), and by Mikhail Bakhtin (intertextual polyphony), the paper aims to deal with it polyphony as proposed by Oswald Ducrot. It discusses if presupposition is really a source of polyphony, concluding that two forms of presupposition exist: argumentative and polyphonic presupposition. The paper also analyzes the notion of “enunciative responsibility”, seeing it as a “multiplicity of responsibilities”, inferring from there the role and the nature of voices mobilized by semantic polyphony. It presents the Theory of Argumentative Polyphony, developed with Oswald Ducrot and Alfredo Lescano, inspired both by Benveniste’s concepts of history and discourse and Ducrot’s polyphony. With this, it distinguishes linguistic polyphony from intertextual polyphony.

This work explores principles for the definition of discourse genre – in its vital correlation with spheres of activity – in terms of authorial agency (collective in genres and individual in the mobilization of its devices). This agency implies the organization of an architectonics (with a greater or lesser degree of freedom), and encompasses, subsuming, thematic unit (the totality of sense of the utterance/discourse), compositional form and (generic and authorial) style, something which imposes the utterer a certain specter of possible enunciative positions.

We aim to create some inflection possibilities that allow thinking about questions coming from research-formation as an experimentation plan in the very school environment. This investigative modality states proactive aspect in the sense that at the same time researchers develop their work, they cannot neglect formation, in view of an ethical care involving respect to the other in this relationship. One must also consider the relationship academy-community as a non dissociable bond and simultaneity among university dimensions of research-extension (formation). Never more research preceding and guiding extension, but research and extension (formation) aiming together in the same problematic context where they are in contact. This perspective allows to draw a plan at the same time of implication and living of the world of life as it happens in the school, and of experimentation-experienciation of some alliances between this world of life in the school and the theoretical world of the academy, not opposing one another, but rather composing them in the emergence of a first philosophy such as that proposed by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin.

The paper applies to the encapsulated anaphors the lexical description carried out within the Semantic Blocks Theory (Ducrot, 2001) and the Polyphony Theory (Ducrot & Carel, 2008). By arguing on the secondary role that literature on such referential process gives to the argumentative-polyphonic phenomenon, the study makes use of an argumentative approach, in what argumentative chaining derives from a linguistic strategy articulated by the speaker based on his\her project of saying. Under such point of view, depending on speaker’s attitudes, anaphoric signing scaffolds argumentative meaning for the chaining.

Polyphonic conception of sense in the Theory of Argumentation in Language (TAL) is constantly reformulated, since its original proposal by Ducrot in 1980, until TAL latest version, the Theory of Semantic Blocks, by Oswald Ducrot and Marion Carel, following the evolution of the very theory in which it inscribes. Due to this development, I intend in this paper to begin reformulating the model I proposed for discourse semantic description by TAL, specifically here, as regards the role played by polyphony, since the model takes as its basis TAL polyphonic conception developed up to 2002.

In this paper, we analyze different nominal infinitive, gerund and participle constructions in Spanish. First, we consider the better studied constructions in literature: verbal and noun infinitive, adverbial and adjectival gerund and agreed and not agreed participle constructions. Secondly, we note the existence of some nominal constructions nucleated by these non personal forms which we have called false infinitives, false gerunds and false participles. These false non personal forms of the verb accept pluralization as ordinary nouns (cf. los decires and los haberes, los doctorandos and las agendas, los presupuestos and las queridas). The semantic analysis of these false non personal forms is led via the principles of the semantic blocks theory (in particular those related to external and internal arguments). We pose that in all cases, the internal arguments of these false forms is the internalization of the external arguments of the verb from which they derive.

This paper has as its subject the notion of enunciator, seen as voice, following the proposal of the Theory of Polyphony. It defends the idea that enunciator must be understood as enunciative tones, that is, as ways of content presentation, as voice type, as enunciative position. It distinguishes three types of enunciators and it establishes discursive criteria for its identification.

From considerations of a discursive approach of the relations between sounds and meanings, the work reflects, first, on some functions of the voice in the constitution of meanings in Brazilian electoral political discourse. More specifically, we analyze discursive sequences extracted from the Free Television Time for Election 2002 Presidential Election, describing and interpreting certain uses and effects of segments, suprasegments and prosodic elements employed in the programs of Lula and Serra. After this analysis, the study concludes with a reflection on an anthropological trait included in the human voice and with a hypothesis about a kind of nostalgia for the voice against the emergence of certain technologies of language.

This article proposes the discussion of the novel, A Rainha do Ignoto, written by Emilia de Freitas, based on the fantastic theories. The study of the novel, written by an almost unknown woman author producing in the Brazilian nineteenth century, tries to demonstrate also the curiosity of the peripetias that involves the narrative and its innovations.

The ubiquity of narrative discourse and its textual characteristics allow for the analysis of relationships, both within the space created by the narrators in the story world, and between the participants of the communicative event where it arises. Within modern linguistics, this attention to narrative has fomented several approaches and methodologies. This article proposes a theoretical reflection on the linguistic approaches that have been proposed to the study of narratives, which starts with the, then innovative, Labov and Waletzky (1967) article, moving on to interactional sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, and the current approach to the study of ‘small stories’ (Georgakopoulou, 2007).
