The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology provides an up-to-date description of the Portuguese phonological system, including a thorough account of the fundamental concepts, data, and previous explanations, as well as the status quaestionis, directions for future research, and further reading. Divided into five parts with contributions from leading international scholars and rising stars, the book’s 23 chapters provide a thorough account of the Portuguese sound system and a range of perspectives on Portuguese phonology. This is the most comprehensive volume on Portuguese phonology written in English, and it delves into the most pressing issues and challenges regarding a wide variety of topics, such as segmental and suprasegmental phenomena; aspects concerning the interfaces between phonology and other linguistic domains; and issues on synchronic variation, diachronic change, acquisition, and the teaching of Portuguese speech prosody to non-native learners. This in-depth resource will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students of Portuguese language and linguistics, as well as those interested in phonology and linguistics more broadly.
This volume brings together contributions by researchers focusing on personal pronouns in Ibero-Romance languages, going beyond the well-established variable of expressed vs. non-expressed subjects. While factors such as agreement morphology, topic shift and contrast or emphasis have been argued to account for variable subject expression, several corpus studies on Ibero-Romance languages have shown that the expression of subject pronouns goes beyond these traditionally established factors and is also subject to considerable dialectal variation. One of the factors affecting choice and expression of personal pronouns or other referential devices is whether the construction is used personally o...
This open access book engages with the concept of reproductive justice by exploring case studies of struggles around abortion in the context of rising anti-genderism, religious fundamentalism, and ethno-nationalism. Based on rich qualitative data offering in-depth analyses from different geographical, political and cultural contexts, the book explores how reproductive justice is understood, contested and given meaning. Chapters further develop the Black feminist concept of reproductive justice in a critical dialogue with postcolonial theory and explore the strength of transnational feminist practices. This book thus offers a fresh approach to the issue of abortion by engaging with contemporary political and cultural processes, and it expands the narrow notions of women’s rights, particularly notions of property rights over bodies, towards an analysis of the political economy of social reproduction and how it affects bodies that can be pregnant. This volume will be of interest to scholars with interests in reproductive justice, anti-gender politics, and religious fundamentalism.
This proceedings records the 31st International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (“Group 31”). Plenary-invited articles propose new approaches to the moduli spaces in gauge theories (V. Pestun, 2016 Weyl Prize Awardee), the phenomenology of neutrinos in non-commutative space-time, the use of Hardy spaces in quantum physics, contradictions in the use of statistical methods on complex systems, and alternative models of supersymmetry. This volume’s survey articles broaden the colloquia’s scope out into Majorana neutrino behavior, the dynamics of radiating charges, statistical pattern recognition of amino acids, and a variety of applications of gauge theory, among other...
Essa obra de forma alguma é um conglomerado de prefácios e homenagens que escrevi ao longo da minha vida acadêmica. Trata-se sim de uma tentativa de deslocamento através da escuta atenta. Trata-se do receber e repartir conhecimentos, experiências, lutas. Escrever prefácios e homenagens são sempre uma investida em que, de modo mais livre, agradeço. Entre minhas palavras cruzam se diversas trajetórias. É um convite aberto a novas leituras sobre esses temas.
Esta obra propõe uma crítica aos critérios estabelecidos pelos cânones literários, especialmente na História da Literatura Brasileira, que excluem obras consideradas "marginais" e "periféricas". Esses critérios estão fundamentados em uma matriz de pensamento ocidental judaico-cristã, conhecida como Tradição, que limita a compreensão das obras da literatura negrofeminina, relegando-as a um espaço subalterno. O que se propõe é um giro epistemológico permite que desvela conceitos ogúnicos e ferramentas analíticas. Nesta obra, o autor apresenta uma "ferramenta" reveladora para analisar a produção literária negrofeminina gaúcha. Ele defende que a escrita é sagrada, carregada de axé e representa a pedra de Exu atirada amanhã que acerta o pássaro que se come hoje. A inscritura, atravessada por um corpo negro e, em particular, por um corpo de mulher negra na sociedade brasileira, traz consigo as vozes do coletivo, sendo uma "escrita de nós". A obra propõe uma jornada à Ikorita (encruzilhada) para entregar esse padê epistemológico, buscando um diálogo profundo com a tradição africana e afro-brasileira.
Em 2021 a ABSTRAÇÃO nasceu como a terceira antologia poética da Academia Independente de Letras, assumindo em poesias a ilusão métrica do mundo em pandemia sobre uma nova realidade e identidade poética do escritor/autor brasileiro contra o desânimo que dilata o coração, na expectativa de se ergue dentro de nós e a nossa frente, o sentido da vida e sua voraz arte do agora. A abstração assim se tornou um elemento fundamental que disfarça a terminologia filosófica dos processos e pensamentos, ideias e fatos sobre uma estratégia simplificada de estar bem e ser algo a mais do concreto e suas orientações ambíguas sobre as coisas e verdades do mundo, do agora, da coisa/vírus que ...
