Mediations of “vogue” music video in Performances of Brazilian Carnival Simone Pereira de Sá1 Rodolfo Viana de Paulo2 Resumo: O artigo tem por objetivo abordar as mediações do videoclipe da canção “Vogue”, de Madonna, buscando discutir o seu agenciamento de corpo- reidades periféricas em dois momentos: nos anos 1980, quando o videoclipe se apropria e amplia a visibilidade da dança voguing, praticada pela cena cultural LGBT nova-iorquina, e duas décadas depois, quando o videoclipe é, por sua vez, uma das referências para jovens dançarinos gays nas suas apresentações em alas das escolas de samba do Carnaval carioca. Assim, interessa-nos discutir as zonas de diálogo e de tensão entre performances locais e globais, tendo como aportes teóricos a discussão sobre “cosmopolitismo estético” (REGEV, 2013) e sobre as divas pop como ícones culturais (JENNEX, 2013), entre outras referências. Palavras-chave: Vogue; Madonna; performance; videoclipe; escolas de samba.

  • 7 Relationship Problems and How to Solve Them Here's How to Resolve the Most Common Relationship Problems and Get Your Love Life Back on Track
    7 Relationship Problems and How to Solve Them Here's how to resolve the most common relationship problems and get your love life back on track. By Carol Sorgen WebMD Feature Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD It's the rare couple that doesn't, sooner or later, run into a few bumps in the road. If you recognize ahead of time what those relationship problems can be, you'll have a much better chance of weathering the storm, experts say. Ideally, a couple should discuss certain basic issues -- such as money, sex, and kids -- before they decide to start their life together. Of course, even when you do discuss these issues beforehand, marriage (or a long-term, live-in relationship) is nothing like you think it's going to be. In spite of the fact that every marriage experiences relationship problems, couples who are successful have learned how to manage them and keep their love life going, says marriage and family therapist Mitch Temple, MS, author of The Marriage Turnaround. They gain success in marriage by hanging in there, tackling problems, and learning how to maneuver through the complex issues of everyday married life. Many do this by reading self-help books, attending seminars, browsing articles on the Web, going to counseling, observing other successful couples, or simply by trial and error. Here are some common issues and ways to resolve them: Relationship Problem: Communication All relationship problems stem from poor communication skills, says Elaine Fantle Shimberg, author of Blending Families. "You can't communicate while you're checking your BlackBerry, watching TV, or flipping through the sports section," she says.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Arylo Ch 03 Seal and Heal Love Cracks
    We have come to this planet to love ourselves in spite of whatever obstacles others or we ourselves have put in our paths. – Louise L. Hay Adventure #3: Seal & Heal Your Love Cracks Take back your love power and never give away your power to feel loved again Did you know that you were born in love with yourself? Yep, born feeling loved, connected to love, and ready to give and receive love unconditionally. Upon arrival, your heart and soul were full of 100% pure love. Unfortunately the world you were born into, while advanced in many ways, didn’t and still doesn’t operate on the principles of love (at least not yet.) Fear is the name of the game, and fear is the #1 smasher and smusher of anything resembling love. When your pure beam of love dropped into your bouncing baby body, fear, in all its forms – hate, meanness, comparison, doubt, anxiety, judgment, worry, rejection, shame – wanted in as quickly as possible. If you were fortunate, you landed softly into a family who held a tight container of love, not so affected or blinded by their own fears that they projected and handed them down to you immediately. A tribe that did their best to create a place for you to feel safe, cared for, worthy, and special, at least for a time. But very few of us, no matter how great our parents, escaped adolescence without being affected by fear and its “love stealers.” At some point in your life, probably between the ages of 2 and 11, something happened to make you feel separated from the pure, unwavering and unconditional love to which you were born connected.

  • In That So Clare's Sonnets Green the Requirements for the Degree Of
    ne, ne « / +• In That So Gentle Skys A Study of John Clare’s Sonnets Richard L. Gillin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1971 í» © 1972 Richard Lewis Gillin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT In 1820 John Clare became the most popular literary figure in London following the appearance of his Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery. By 1827, after the publication of three subse­ quent volumes of poetry, he was virtually ignored even though his poetic abilities had increased significantly. In this study the nature of John Clare’s achievement as a poet was analyzed in con­ junction with his sonnets. Clare’s best work appears in his short poems. The sonnets he wrote indicate his concerns and suggest the degree of his maturity as a lyric poet. The significant biographical and historical influences on Clare have been delineated in association with his poetry. An examination of the poems in each volume of poetry published during his lifetime revealed that the sonnets reflect the major impetus of each volume as well as suggesting the direction his later work would take. Experiments with sonnet forms such as the Shakespearian and regular innovative forms of Clare’s own creation are traced and analyzed. As a fledgling poet Clare's greatest problem was to reconcile the various elements of his perception and verse. Often, it has been shown, there is a cleavage between the subject matter and the speaker’s response to the subject in the early sonnets.
