30 anos de literatura brasileira na RFA: como uma das editoras centrais da Europa do pós-guerra, a editora Suhrkamp, contribuiu e impulsionou a recepção da literatura brasileira no mercado editorial alemão. Através da análise de documentos do arquivo da editora Douglas Pompeu reflete sobre a posição marginal da produção literária brasileira na circulação literária internacional, assim como sobre o seus esforços de divulgação para além das fronteiras nacionais. O estudo pode ser resumido como uma pesquisa de cruzamento entre dois espaços literários com valências distintas, mas em contato e movimento constante, no qual editores, agentes, redatores, tradutores e o leitor tomam o protagonismo da instância autor na produção do livro e na legibilidade, traduzibilidade e vendabilidade do produto literário.

The aim of this research is to analyze the concept of reading in the mainly official documents that subsidize the practice of readingin the school context.The work is guided on the assumptions of Applied Linguistics about reading,about dialogical conception of language and research developed in Brazil under this line.Firstofall, it ispointed out theassumptionsaboutReading showed in thenationaldocuments: Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Fundamental (BRASIL, 1998) and Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Médio (BRASIL, 2000); after, theideaspresentedbystatedocuments: Referencial Curricular do Ensino Fundamental das Escolas Públicas do Estado do Tocantins (TOCANTINS, 2009a) and Proposta Curricular do Ensino Médio (TOCANTINS, 2009b). The results of the documentary research show that, in general, in the official documents there is the interactive concept of reading, since reading is conceived as a process that enables dialogue between author, text and reader, contributing to the formation of the critical reader.

The political emancipation of the state of Tocantins, Brazil, occurred 28 years ago, The state is characterized by linguistic varieties due to the intense migratory flow of people hailing mainly from neighboring states of Maranhão, Piauí, Bahia and Pará. Porto Nacional, Pedro Afonso and Natividade, founded on the former northern region of the state of Goiás, are the towns with the highest number of immigrants. In fact, they are relevant historical places formed by autochthonous people and immigrants. Since the above-mentioned towns present important variation aspects of the spoken Portuguese language in Tocantins, current study identifies and analyzes rhotic pronunciation, graphematically represented by /R/ as a syllabic coda, in the three mentioned towns. Survey was undertaken with 24 topodynamic and topostatic informants distributed by gender and age. A segment of the questionnaire with 25 questions collected from the project "Topodynamic and Topostatic Linguistic Atlas of the State of Tocantins (ALiTTETO)"is investigated.

This article aims to analyze the work 'Mal-entendido em Moscou' ('Misunderstanding in Moscow'), by Simone de Beauvoir from to specific themes: the aging and the finitude. The book tells the story of André and Nicole, two retired professors who feel the weight of aging and travel to the USSR for the second time in their life. Thus, a series of misunderstandings start taking place: the lack of communication, the fear of aging, a long-standing love, the assumption of female identity, their political expectations and the difference between the characters' comprehension of the world itself. In this text, I address these divergences, especially the impact of aging and the realization of finiteness by the main character and how these matters of uneasiness reverberate in all of us as well. The article is subdivided as follows; first it deals in general with the relationship between philosophy and literature in Beauvoir's production; the following presents the plot of the work, highlighting some important elements for the discussion and; finally, it investigates questions about aging and facticity, seeking to understand the original focus that the philosopher outlines in the courageous and realistic creation that she makes of her characters.

This article aims on reflecting on the teaching process of the English language in Brazil starting from a perspective that contemplates the sociocultural factors and also the linguistic factors that might influence the learning of a foreign language. Weinreich, Labov and Herzog (2006 [1968]) see any linguistic changes as the result of a process of linguistic fit between variables internal to the linguistic system and those external to it (i.e. socioeconomic factors). Issues such as the Brazilian basic education system, proficiency evaluation, use of English with other speakers, and literacy issues can be considered as extralinguistic factors (external to the language, but which exert influence in it) that along with linguistic system factors, such as Interlanguage, can lead Brazilian speakers to develop a "Brazilian English" (in comparison toterms known as "British English" or "American English"), or to use this language as "lingua franca", to ensure that the purpose of any message is passed on.

This paper aims at doing a preliminary study of the recategorization in the process of referentation of the referent Cristo Redentor Statue, based on the analysis of three images taken from websites. We will use as theoretical framework the concepts postulated by Custódio Filho (2011), Bentes (2008), Cavalvante (2005), Dionísio (2011), Koch (2003, 2006), among others. In this study, we will follow what postulates Lima (2003, 2009, 2011), for whom the recategorization is a process understood in a cognitive and discourse dimension, so that allows its conception to be understood to the level of structures and cognitive functioning. We note that, due to be understanding of each materialized regarding the images, it is necessary to have, in advance, any knowledge concerning the situation in which it is inserted in order to recategorize the object of discourse in question.

Through this study, we develop a descriptive and comparative analysis of metaphorical sentences which contain verbs with iterative and cursive aspectual meanings. The corpus analyzed in this qualitative and quantitative research has a total of 129 metaphors of Brazilian Portuguese and English. The analysis and description of the data were performed from the Semantic Interaction Theory by Max Black (1993), because it understands and emphasizes that metaphor is a special phenomenon in which the terms that make up the statement interact creating a mental operation, in a view that the language creates reality and ways of thinking (Fossile, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c, 2011a, 2011b, 2012b, 2012c; Dias and Fossile 2014). The methodology used for this descriptive and comparative analysis of the metaphorical occurrences of Brazilian Portuguese and English was developed by Moura (2007) and Fossile (2008a; 2008b; 2008c, 2011a, 2012b, 2012c). We can conclude that there is regularity in interpreting metaphors of Brazilian Portuguese and English and when we interpret a metaphor we do not perform a casual or random interpretation, but it seems to us that we recourse to a structure designed cognitively, in which aspectual values along with the interaction between the topic and the vehicle of a metaphorical sentence seem to be the most important point.

Este ensaio procura realçar as proximidades entre a obra de Antonio Candido e Roberto
Schwarz em relação ao tema da formação e do papel da crítica literária. Dessa forma, o
trabalho está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira destaco a interlocução relacionada ao livro
Formação da literatura Brasileira e os apontamentos críticos posteriores de Schwarz. No
segundo momento, aponto para os potenciais críticos de uma concepção de análise literária
pertencente à tradição Candido-Schwarz.

In this article we discuss the production of genres, mediated Didactic Sequence methodology through which to teach modularly a genre. Our goal is to demonstrate that the teaching of genres developed modularly can assist students in building properly texts. Thus, we describe part of an experiment carried out in a high school public school, in which students of 2nd year produced a movie review to be published in school and in a blog. For this, we base in authors like (Dolz et al., 2010) and (Bronckart, 2007), who consider language as a form of interaction and the genre as a tool through which students are able to develop the capabilities of language. Research shows that the Didactic sequence enabled the students grasp the knowledge required for proper writing addressed genre.

This paper exposes the development of a written proposal in a 2nd year high school students in a rural school district Santa Terezinha in Itaporã-MS and a part of its results, to promote a reflection on new possibilities for work that contribute to close the gap between school written practices and extracurricular and their socio historical relations. We begin from the assumption that the writing is heterogeneously formed the linguistic facts do not separate the social practices (Corrêa, 2004). The proposal constituted the production of a Virtual Journal on Facebook, developed during the Portuguese classes. The analysis of news production and reporting, plus the comments made on the digital platform, enable linguistically show that there is no rigid boundary between writing practices of focused on writing culture and those of digital culture, as they suppose many educators. Furthermore, show that social networks in school can work as collaborators in a more efficient and meaningful writing instruction for all involved.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo central analisar comparativamente as
diferentes tendências de ação geradas pelo medo nas obras de Sérgio
Buarque de Holanda (Raízes do Brasil) e Octávio Paz (O labirinto da
Solidão). O medo opera de formas distintas nos contextos descritos,
associado e articulado a outras emoções, resulta em características
próprias a cada um dos povos: o brasileiro e o mexicano.

Portuguese Language teaching has faced sustained challenges which address both theoretical and methodological issues towards its practice. Such issues refer to significant practices that provide pupils with a responsive language action. In this context, this paper aims to highlight misspellings which entail the interference of oral language into the writing of second year high school students. For this purpose, we seek to answer the following questions: what are the influences/marks of oral language in written texts of high school students? And how to handle these influences and reverse them according to the grammars of Standard Portuguese? Thus, in order to answer these questions, we support our discussion in light of the works of Marcuschi (2008; 2010); Fávero, et al. (2000); Kato (2002); Bortoni-Ricardo (2004; 2005). Through the analyses, we observed that although at the high school level, students still use oral language in their written texts, which implies either little knowledge of grammatical conventions or little mastery of the standard language. In addition, we believe that this influence may be a consequence of the lack of meaningful and oriented readings, which leads to a limited grammatical and enunciative repertoire.

A acusação de que o jovem aluno do século XXI não se forma leitor tornou-se senso comum em sala de professores e em conversas de adultos. Despertar no aluno o prazer do texto também tem sido tarefa árdua para muitos docentes que se veem entre os muros de uma escola ainda tão tradicional como a brasileira. Sem descartar a importância da leitura dos clássicos, é imprescindível, contudo, que a escola – e, metonimicamente, o professor – atraia o aluno-leitor para a nova era da ciberliteratura. Esta promoveu uma revolução na história da leitura – do códex ao hipertexto – e ascendeu a função do leitor, o qual se tornou mais ativo, um hiperleitor, apagando assim a função de autor, outrora merecedor de status. Seja através da hiperficção, da hiperpoesia ou do metalivro, a ciberliteratura resgata e dá continuidade ao experimentalismo universal na escrita, no som e na imagem, inaugurado pelas vanguardas europeias e pela poesia concreta – embrião da poesia virtual. Promover a interação do aluno com a poesia animada pelo computador – eis um novo desafio para a educação.
