Language Dossier

 

Text and interfaces: a tribute to Maria Aparecida Lino Pauliukonis

In this thematic dossier on language, we seek to pay tribute to Maria Aparecida Lino Pauliukonis, a great researcher in text/discourse studies, contemplating her investigative and pedagogical trajectory. In this context, we seek to encompass some of her work strands focused on different perspectives in the study of text: i) the analysis of textual/discursive categories of different genres and discursive domains, especially media and literary ones; ii) the discussion of the argumentative dimension of texts; iii) the interface with the teaching of Portuguese. Such works can be based on Semiolinguistics and/or Text Linguistics and their interfaces with other related theories, such as Argumentation Theory, the different strands of Genre Analysis and Discourse Analysis, and Functionalism.

Literature Dossier

 

Heritage and filiation in Contemporary Literature

“Sinto-me herdeiro, fiel na medida do possível”

Jacques Derrida

In a series of dialogues, Elizabeth Roudinesco asked Jacques Derrida about his intellectuals legacies. In response, Derrida not only describes a possible genealogy for his thoughts, but he also declares that “the heir is not just the one who receive”; the heir “is the one who chooses”; his heritage depends on interpretation and choices of what is inherited, promoting a type of “alliance mobility”. Therefore, accordind to Derrida, it would be necessary “start from a formal and ostensible contradiction between the passivity of reception and the decision to say ‘yes’”. At the same time, T.S. Eliot, in his essay “Tradition and the individual talent”, concludes that “no poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone”. Articulating new and old, originality and tradition, Eliot highlights the historical meaning that leads an author to write “with his own generation”, but also with “the whole of the literature of Europe from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country”. Following this logic, the portuguese poet Adília Lopes, pointing out some influences that structure her book A mulher-a-dias (2002), emphasizes the selective aspect and then its uncontrollable [or inevitable?] character, and declares that “the influences choose themselves involuntarily”. It’s about selecting, filtering, interpreting and transforming what is inherited. In this Diadorim dossier, we ask Roudinesco’s question to contemporary literature produced since the 2000s. In that regard, we will receive articles that understand literature by the point of view of heritage and filiation. Academic articles that discuss the relationship between contemporary literature in portuguese and other texts, considering the movement of reading and rereading and a logic of heritage and filiation that transforms the past and present, will be accepted.
