  • Bazinga! Uma Análise Neotribal Da Sitcom the Big Bang Theory Arthur
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XVI Congresso de Ciências da Comunicação na Região Sudeste – São Paulo - SP – 12 a 14 de maio de 2011 Bazinga! Uma Análise Neotribal Da Sitcom The Big Bang Theory 1 Arthur Carlos FRANCO OLIVEIRA 2 Mirna TONUS 3 Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Uberlândia, MG RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a sitcom The Big Bang Theory sob a ótica da teoria neotribalista proposta por Michel Maffesoli. A partir do método observacional, assistiu-se a todos os episódios das quatro temporadas da sitcom, procurando identificar em seus personagens elementos que os relacionassem a uma neotribo. Assim, foi possível concluir que os sujeitos analisados não atendem a todas as características de uma neotribo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: sitcom, neotribalismo, televisão, humor. “Bazinga!” – Sheldon Cooper Desde o surgimento da televisão, suas funções têm sido as mais diversas. Informar, emocionar e fazer rir são alguns dos papéis que ela exerce no contexto atual. Suas atrações sempre buscam aumentar a audiência e cativar o público, sendo que, nos últimos anos, a televisão tem mais do que nunca se utilizado do público para fazer sucesso. Séries humorísticas, programas de auditório recheados de casos engraçados e comentários ácidos e inteligentes são alguns artifícios veiculados para divertir o público. E, entre os programas de humor, estão as chamadas sitcoms . O termo, segundo o Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa4, é uma série televisiva que aborda situações do dia–a-dia em tom de comédia. A palavra vem do termo inglês “situation comedy ”, que, literalmente, significa situação de comédia. Desde o seu 1 Trabalho apresentado no DT 4 – Comunicação Audiovisua do XVI Congresso de Ciências da Comunicação na Região Sudeste realizado de 12 a 14 de maio de 2011.

  • Subtitling, Working Memory, and L2 Learning: a Correlational Study Legendagem, Memória De Trabalho E Aprendizagem Em L2: Um Estudo Correlacional
    http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1984-6398201812773 Subtitling, Working Memory, and L2 Learning: A Correlational Study Legendagem, memória de trabalho e aprendizagem em L2: um estudo correlacional Rafael Matielo* *Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), Fortaleza, Ceará / Brasil [email protected] Roberta Pires de Oliveira** **Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis, Santa Catarina / Brasil [email protected] Luciane Baretta*** ***Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava, Paraná / Brasil [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study investigates the impact of intralingual and interlingual subtitles on Brazilian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners as a result of their processing of a North-American sitcom. More specifi cally, it examines whether subtitling interacts with one’s individual differences, working memory (WM) as the case in point. Thirty-six intermediate-level EFL learners were evenly divided into two experimental groups (intralingual subtitles and interlingual subtitles) and one control group (no subtitles). Participants’ performance was measured based on an L2 video comprehension test and an L2 vocabulary test. Participants’ performance was correlated with their scores on two WM tests. The results obtained revealed that both participants’ L2 video comprehension, as well as their L2 vocabulary test performance, did not signifi cantly interact with their WM capacity under any of the experimental conditions. These results are discussed in light of the possible processing mechanisms employed by the participants that may account for the lack of statistically signifi cant correlations found. KEYWORDS: subtitled videos; L2 video comprehension; L2 vocabulary learning; working memory. RESUMO: Este estudo investiga o impacto de legendas intralinguais e interlinguais em aprendizes brasileiros de Inglês como Língua Estrangeira (ILE) resultante do processamento de um sitcom Norte-Americano.

  • Interpretation of Verbal Humor in the Sitcom the Big Bang Theory from the Perspective of Adaptation-Relevance Theory
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 3, No. 12, pp. 2220-2226, December 2013 © 2013 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.3.12.2220-2226 Interpretation of Verbal Humor in the Sitcom The Big Bang Theory from the Perspective of Adaptation-relevance Theory Zejun Ma School of Foreign Languages, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China Man Jiang School of Foreign Languages, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China Abstract—Humor plays a very important role in every sphere of our daily life, especially verbal humor which is mainly carried by language use in a certain context to achieve humorous effect. As a special carrier of humor, sitcom, which is a type of comedy performance, has attracted millions of audiences with humorous utterances all over the world. The American sitcom The Big Bang Theory has been one of the most popular American sitcoms in China within these years which largely count on verbal humor to create general humorous effect. Based on the achievements made by previous researchers, the present study explores the verbal humor in the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory in the light of a new model—Adaptation-Relevance model so as to reveal its interpretive power of humor and its feasibility in analyzing verbal humor in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. The paper mainly adopts the qualitative and descriptive methods to analyze the selected examples and finally comes to a conclusion that this Adaptation-Relevance model which is an integration of two powerful pragmatic theories holds the interpretive power for verbal humor and has feasibility in analyzing verbal humor by using the data in sitcom The Big Bang Theory.

  • In American Television Studies Jews Are Generally Thrown Into the Grab Bag of White Ethnics
    Premium Jews In American television studies Jews are generally thrown into the grab bag of white ethnics. Tony's Italian, Uncle Jesse's Greek and Krusty's Jewish. From there it’s tempting to undergo an accounting process through which to determine the quantity and quality of Jewish-American TV presence. First you count up all the Jews. Then you see whether or not most of them are "good." You make sure they are smart and love their kids and you keep the stereotype police on speed dial just in case they’re too smart or love their kids too much. Finally, you make sure there's a certain amount of variety in your televisual Semites. There should be some men and some women, some old people and some young, some doctors and some lawyers. Such a process done today quickly shows that while there is certainly something left to be desired in Jewish-American representation, the Jews on TV are not that different from the ones filling out their census forms. Of course, this white-ethnic approach ignores some important things. Most obviously, I hope, is the fact that not all Jews are white. There are Sephardic Jews, Arab Jews and, yes, even Black Jews. The ethnic diversity of Jews in America pales in comparison to that of Israel, but it remains the case that not every American Jew has precious family stories about Uncle Tevya milking cows in a shtetl back in the Old Country. Even more so, there's the fact that Judaism is not an ethnicity.

  • 1 Bazinga! a Desconstrução Do Ritual De Gift Giving Segundo O Discurso
    Bazinga! A Desconstrução do Ritual de Gift Giving segundo o Discurso Racional de Sheldon Cooper Autoria: Carolina Rezende Pereira, Renata Andreoni Barboza Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar, utilizando o método da desconstrução, o que envolve o ritual de oferecimento de presentes, por meio do modelo teórico de Gift Giving de Sherry (1983) e a Teoria da Dádiva. Para tal, utilizamos na análise o discurso racional do personagem Sheldon Cooper, do seriado “The Big Bang Theory”. Percebemos que seu discurso racional é desconstruído quando ele ganha um presente inesperado, e seu discurso utilitarista não condiz com uma prática dadivosa, uma vez que quando ele não tem o controle da situação e precisa demonstrar a retribuição infindável que sente. 1 1. Introdução O Gift Giving é uma prática histórica que já ocorria na Roma e na Grécia antigas, em dia das saturnais, ocasião para celebrações quando os amigos deveriam ser visitados e presenteados com as sigilaria (figuras de terracota ou prata) e com pequenas velas de cera, talvez para representar a volta do sol com sua luz (Leite, 2006). O conceito de Gift Giving pode ser compreendido originalmente dentro de uma abordagem antropológica, a partir do estudo seminal de Marcel Mauss (2003) e sua Teoria da Dádiva. O autor revela que os habitantes das sociedades do Pacífico praticavam a oferta de presentes, de forma voluntária e gratuita e, ao mesmo tempo, interessada e obrigatória. Nessa prática ocorria não só a troca de presentes, mas também de cerimônias, de economia, de casamento, por exemplo. O tema central de estudos da Dádiva é desvendar como os vínculos sociais podem ser reforçados ou não, a partir dos atos de dar-receber-retribuir (Mauss, 2003, Godbout, 1999, Caillé, 1998, 2002).
