Corseuil PPGI/UFSC/CNPq Neste primeiro número do volume 47 da Revista Estudos Anglo-Americanos – REAA, encontram-se dez artigos relacionados aos Estudos Linguísticos e Literários em contexto anglófono, os quais vêm enriquecer o debate acadêmico na grande área de Letras sob o viés da língua inglesa e de suas literaturas. O artigo que abre o presente volume volta-se aos Estudos Linguísticos ao apresentar, como tema central, o ensino e a aprendizagem de inglês na idade adulta. Neste artigo, intitulado “Ensino personalizado de inglês para adultos”, Ana Lígia Barbosa de Carvalho e Silva aborda o ensino e a aprendizagem da língua inglesa na idade adulta e busca propor um ensino personalizado de inglês como segunda língua (L2), voltado para as necessidades e especificidades de aprendizes adultos, envolvendo aspectos afetivos, com ênfase na motivação. No artigo, a autora conclui que dificuldades de aprendizagem de L2 por adultos podem ser superadas, se consideradas as especificidades e necessidades desses aprendizes. Já dentro da área dos Estudos Literários e Culturais, o artigo “Raymond Carver e os discursos sobre o amor”, de autoria de Genilda Azerêdo e Isabor Meneses Quintiere, apresenta uma leitura crítica sobre a representação do amor enquanto sentimento complexo e, ao mesmo tempo, inspirador na escrita de Raymond Carver. Levando em consideração o conto “What we talk about when we talk about love”, Azerêdo e Quintiere discutem as tensões do discurso amoroso apontadas por Carver em seu famoso texto. A representação de temas como inocência, raça, classe e religião permeia a discussão apresentada por Renata Gonçalves Gomes no artigo “Innocence, race, class and religion in J.D. Salinger’s ‘Down At The Dinghy’ (1949): An analysis in perspective”. Neste artigo, Gomes 6 analisa, de forma comparativa, um dos contos de Salinger sobre personagens da família Glass, demonstrando de que forma esta e outras histórias do autor deixam transparecer a crítica social feita por Salinger ao contexto estadunidense pós-Segunda Guerra mundial. Ainda enfatizando o contexto social e político dos Estados Unidos no século XX, o artigo “Músicas norte-americanas de protesto: uma análise dialógica”, de autoria de Annemeire Araujo de Lima, discute, a partir da concepção bakthiniana de texto, as muitas vozes que compõem um grande número de músicas de protesto estadunidenses. Lima propõe, neste artigo, que é justamente através da representação de vozes advindas de diversos contextos sociais que as músicas analisadas no artigo articulam a complexidade do tema de protesto nos Estados Unidos. Uma análise de questões políticas também se faz presente no artigo “Crime político e deflagração do mal: uma leitura de Macbeth, de William Shakespeare”, de Mayquel Eleuthério. Tomando a tragédia Macbeth como cenário investigativo, Eleuthério discute a organização hierárquica e teológica da sociedade elisabetana, a fim de verificar a centralidade do crime político no texto de Shakespeare. Já no artigo “Claire Archer: a tragic heroine on the verge”, Avital Grubstein de Cykman discute de que forma a protagonista Claire Archer, da peça The Verge, escrita por Susan Glaspell, enquadra-se na definição de heroína trágica. Ancorando-se no debate crítico feminista promovido por autoras como Deborah J. Lyon e Jennifer L. Larson, de Cykman analisa a trajetória da protagonista acima mencionada, atualizando, assim, o conceito de heroína trágica. Uma abordagem crítica informada pelos estudos feministas também se faz presente no artigo “‘Ain’t that the same?’: intersectionality and the supplements in Toni Morrison’s Sula”, de autoria de Dayane Evellin de Souza Francisco. Neste artigo, Francisco analisa um trecho do famoso romance de Morrison sob o viés da interseccionalidade e da desconstrução. Ao discutir 7 o conceito de “suplemento”, Francisco também demontra de que forma o romance expõe noções de gênero como sendo socialmente construídas. Já no artigo “O entre-lugar representado na obra Call Me María, de Judith Ortiz Cofer”, de Rosiane Pereira Gonçalves Boina, questões identitárias e de gênero são discutidas a partir da experiência migratória e dos trânsitos geográficos. Amparada pelas discussões teóricas de Homi Bhabha e Silviano Santiago, Boina apresenta uma leitura crítica da obra de Cofer tendo em vista os conceito de “terceiro espaço” e “entre-lugar” a fim de problematizar a complexidade das relações identitárias apresentadas na obra. A relação entre autobiografia e ficção se faz presente no artigo “O elemento autobiográfico na obra de Philip Roth: breve panorama”, de Isadora Goldberg Sinay. Neste artigo, Sinay enfatiza a chamada fase autobiográfica da escrita de Roth, a qual engloba a publicação de cinco livros nos quais o próprio escritor protagoniza as histórias. Ao abordar os elementos autobiográficos na obra de Roth, Sinay procura também elaborar uma análise crítica sobre o papel da metaficção para o escritor. Fechando o presente número, o artigo “To kill or not to kill: images of violence and cruelty in Band of Brothers”, de autoria de Ketlyn Mara Rosa e Janaina Mirian Rosa, apresenta uma análise fílmica sobre a representação da violência, particularmente no contexto de guerra, na série Band of Brothers, de 2001. Para as autoras, a série, ao concentrar-se nos efeitos dos atos de violência vivenciados pelos soldados durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, retrata o caráter fantasmagórico e traumático do passado sendo constantemente revisitado. Considerando as diferentes e relevantes temáticas apresentadas, este número da Revista Estudos Anglo-Americanos deve trazer importante reflexão para a área de Estudos Linguísticos e Estudos Literários. Desejamos a todos uma boa e proveitosa leitura. Os Editores 8 ENSINO PERSONALIZADO DE INGLÊS PARA ADULTOS Ana Lígia Barbosa de Carvalho e Silva Universidade Estadual de Campinas - Unicamp RESUMO: O ensino e a aprendizagem da língua inglesa na idade adulta constituem o tema central deste artigo, que tem por objetivo fazer uma revisão de literatura sobre o assunto e propor um ‘ensino personalizado’ de inglês como segunda língua (L2), voltado para as necessidades e especificidades dos aprendizes. A inquietação que motivou este trabalho surgiu de posicionamentos negativos recorrentes, que parecem habitar o senso comum, sobre o aprendizado de inglês por adultos. Discorremos sobre a aquisição de L2, bem como sobre as principais características do aprendiz, nesse mesmo contexto. Abordamos também alguns dos aspectos afetivos que impactam na aprendizagem na idade adulta, com ênfase na motivação. Verificamos, por fim, que as possíveis dificuldades de aprendizagem de L2 por adultos podem ser superadas, desde que a abordagem de ensino considere as idiossincrasias e necessidades desses aprendizes. As questões suscitadas neste artigo poderão ser úteis na elaboração de cursos e material didático, bem como na formação de professores para o ensino específico de inglês para adultos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino personalizado; Aprendizes adultos; Inglês como Segunda Língua. ABSTRACT: The teaching and learning of English language for adults is the central theme

Unfolding Verse: Poetry As Correspondence In Early Modern England Abstract This project recovers a forgotten history of Renaissance poetry as mail. At a time when trends in English print publication and manuscript dissemination were making lyric verse more accessible to a reading public than ever before, writers and correspondents created poetic objects designed to reach individual postal recipients. Drawing on extensive archival research, “Unfolding Verse” examines versions of popular poems by John Donne, Ben Jonson, Mary Wroth, and others which look little like “literature.” Rather, these verses bear salutations, addresses, folds, wax seals, and other signs of transmission through the informal postal networks of early modern England. Neither verse letters nor “epistles,” the textual artifacts I call “letter-poems” proclaim their participation in a widespread social

  • Exploring the Animal Turn
    EXPLORING THE ANIMAL TURN THE ANIMAL EXPLORING EXPLORING THE ANIMAL TURN Animals´ omnipresence in human society makes them both close to and yet Human-Animal Relations in Science, Society and Culture remarkably distant from humans. Human and animal lives have always been entangled, but the way we see and practice the relationships between humans and animals – as close, intertwined, or clearly separate – varies from time to time and between cultures, societies, and even situations. By putting these complex relationships in focus, this anthology investigates the ways in which human society deals with its co-existence with animals. The volume was produced within the frame of the interdisciplinary “Animal Turn”-research group which during eight months in 2013–2014 was hosted by the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies, Lund university, Sweden. Along with invited scholars and artists, members of this group contribute with different perspectives on the complexities and critical issues evoked when the human-animal relationship is in focus. The anthology covers a wide range of topics: From discussions on new disci- Andersson Cederholm, Björck, Jennbert, Lönngren, (eds.)

I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • INVESTIGATING the STYLE, FORM and GENRE of PERIOD DRAMA in 2010S BRITISH TELEVISION
    A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2020 HERITAGE AND POST-HERITAGE: INVESTIGATING THE STYLE, FORM AND GENRE OF PERIOD DRAMA IN 2010s BRITISH TELEVISION WILL STANFORD This image is unavailable. Please consult reference on page ii for further information. ABBISS ii ABSTRACT This project analyses six period drama productions in British television of the 2010s, expanding Claire Monk’s term of ‘post-heritage’ into a critical framework. Its case studies establish a cycle of progressive representations of the past in recent television drama, which operate against the assumptions of ‘heritage’ nostalgia forwarded by earlier scholars. The post-heritage framework consists of five guiding elements: interrogation, subversion, subjectivity, self-consciousness and ambiguity. These inform the analysis of the project’s case studies, while also allowing the existence of post-heritage elements to be recognised in earlier period drama productions. The thesis is split into three distinct parts, which allow the heritage and post-heritage elements of the case studies to be associated with the characteristics and theoretical concepts of television drama. The first chapter of each part evaluates the institutional context of its case study, identifying its impact upon production through textual examples from the programme. The second chapter of each part focuses on close analysis, demonstrating the extent to which post- heritage elements can assist innovation in television drama. Part I focuses on televisual style, identifying the naturalist, realist and modernist aesthetics of television drama. Scholarly sources are used to connect these with periods of British television history.

  • Queen Elizabeth
    The British monarchy on screen oving images of the British monarchy, in fact and fiction, are almost as M old as the moving image itself, dating back to an 1895 dramatic vignette, The Execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Led by Queen Victoria, British monarchs themselves appeared in the new ‘animated photography’ from 1896. Half a The British century later, the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II was a milestone in the adoption of television, watched by 20 million Britons and 100 million North Americans. At the century’s end, Princess Diana’s funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion worldwide. monarchy Historians have argued that the power of the image has bolstered the British monarchy as its political power has waned, but media scholars have been slow to examine how that power has been secured by royal self-promotion, entrepreneurial on screen deference, narrative sympathy, reportorial discretion and spectacular exhibition. In the first book-length examination of film and television representations of this enduring institution, distinguished scholars of media and political history analyse the screen representations of royalty from Henry VIII to ‘William and Kate’. Among their concerns are the commercial value of royal representations, the convergence of the monarch and the movie star, and the historical use of the moving image to maintain the Crown’s legitimacy. Seventeen essays by international commentators examine the portrayal of royalty in the ‘actuality’ picture, the early extended feature, amateur cinema, Edited by Mandy Merck the movie melodrama, the Commonwealth documentary, New Queer Cinema, TV current affairs, the big screen ceremonial and the post-historical boxed set.

A. Lafferty (1914-2002) is at once deeply ecological and deeply strange. Its incessant narrative inclusion of the nonhuman beings, places, and forces of Lafferty’s Oklahoman and otherwise (south)western bioregion evinces an imagination profoundly porous to the local specificities and abundance of one’s more-than-human context.
