Epiphany in Clarice Lispector
The reader has before him an incomplete book about the epiphany in Clarice Lispector, so what is done here are provocations. The density of the author's literary work could not be covered by a single work; many, many interconnected studies would be needed to research this literature. However, every endeavour, great or small, must have a beginning. Take this work, reader, as an initial walk through one of the many characteristics of Clarice Lispector's work, the epiphany. Even the most passionate readers need a guide or a helper on the journey that is delving into the peculiar traits of complex authors; the exact case of Clarice. I challenge the reader to leave this book without wanting to read The Hour of the Star, or to re-read it. One of the main aims of this book is to illustrate certain passages of the author's existentialist literature, using literary theory. Epiphany in Clarice Lispector: the act of revisiting the new is an interpretative act of those who never tire of searching what they like and know for what they need to know, in other words, the continuous and constant integration between the 'new' and the 'old'.

THE ARTIST. In his many depictions of north-west England, L.S. Lowry (1887-1976) makes industrial scenes his own, showing how industry had affected the landscape and how the inhabitants of the urban areas lived out their daily lives. This example is based on 'Coming from the Mill', 1930. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
Chinese Creative Writing Studies
This book charts the development of creative writing, bringing it from China to the world. As the second volume of Chinese Creative Writing Studies, the first of which introduces Chinese creative writing to English-speaking readers, this book expands on the first in further developing theories and research on creative writing pedagogy in the Chinese context, and in Hong Kong particular, looking at creative writing within cross-media practices, and the implications for creative writing in global contexts. The volume does so by presenting both local and international voices to expand the horizon of Chinese creative writing development. Structured in four parts, the book begins with leading Chinese scholars' reflections on research and field. The second part focuses on the interlinkages between creative writing and pedagogy in Hong Kong. The third section discusses poetic thinking and therapeutic writing to highlight their relationship with the personal and community. Lastly, the book takes a global perspective to examine the pedagogy and practice of creative writing through interviews with leaders in the field. It is relevant to researchers, teachers, and students interested in creative writing, particularly Chinese creative writing, but also those working in comparative contexts, both culturally, and in terms of cross-media perspectives.
Neuropsycholinguistics
Scientific knowledge is a set of theoretical understandings based on scientific thinking. There are clear methods of scientific study of the essence of complex, diverse and colorful phenomena, laws of development of nature, society and human thinking. They determine the direction of scientific research. Language and speech together are a common subject. All their principles are equally important because neuropsycholinguistics is also responsible for the relationship between language and speech. There is always something new in this field of science. Cognitive principles - the brain and its relationship to language - are important for language acquisition and categorization. Although this work is very complex and difficult, a person can be healed with a good word. Because the word is also a source of energy in controlling the mind. This is one of the almost unsolved problems of neurolinguistics. The brain is a mysterious world, if we study it from the point of view of the influence of speech, the way we perceive language, the way we speak, it becomes easier. With the development of neuropsycholinguistics in recent years, there is an increasing need for in-depth knowledge of the nature of these phenomena.

The dictionarization of beekeeping terms in Libras
Law No. 10.436/02 officially recognizes the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) as a language. In addition, Decree No. 5.626/05, which regulates this law, ensures not only that this language is taught in teacher training courses, but also that educational institutions are responsible for disseminating and promoting research in the area of Brazilian Sign Language. In view of this, the aim of this work is to produce a bilingual dictionary in the field of beekeeping, both in Portuguese and in LIBRAS, based on the lack of this material, which is so significant for communicational accessibility. The research methodology is bibliographical, exploratory and qualitative. In order to select the technical terms, the work went through four stages: the dictionary of sign terms, research into beekeeping manuals, such as EMBRAPA - Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (2007); SEBRAE - Micro and Small Business Support Service (2006); Magalh瓊es and Borges (2012), among others.
Manguebeat essays
As we know, globalization, or the third stage of world capitalism, has led to the colonization of contemporary cultural models, thus causing culture to be absorbed by the market, and increasingly imposed around European and American nuances. The media and advertising have become enormously important based on this reference to culture, generating a market-based production in which it is no longer possible to talk about anything that is not linked to this new reality. As a result, the cultural product is increasingly becoming a commodity, accentuating the discussion about its immunity from the influences of capital in post-modern society, as Pellegrine suggests (1999, p.181). This stage of capitalism is marked by the consumption of the commodity itself as a process, where old vestiges of the past can be found, creating a systemic continuity of the old only with new packaging.
Teaching Movies Effectively via NVivo R1
This book addresses the issue of how to teach English via movies. The book is composed of two parts: theory and practice. In the theory section, the author analyzed Divergent using the Word Cloud, Auto Code, and Word Frequency functions of NVivo R1 to see what is happening in the text. A strategy for acquiring vocabulary, combined by the author and Ahn, was provided to speed up the process of students developing the words. In the practice section, the entire script of Divergent. The author's edited version focused on words, translation, and idiomatic expressions directly linked to listening comprehension.
The Word and the World
This book is an attempt to examine language in its referential and non-referential (figurative) aspects. Whether it is a work of literature or theory, writers and readers are confronted with the problem of language in both its aspects. It is often hard to determine where word and thing connect or fail to connect, irrespective of the nature of the discourse. Moreover, every articulation is likely to be as much about something other than, outside or beyond itself. The language of communication can incorporate elements of discourse and vice-versa.
Teaching Translation
The field of translation and interpreting (T&I) training has been undergoing rapid and far-reaching transformation in recent years, as a result of technological advances and sweeping shifts in the international environment within which T&I seeks to mediate.Teaching Translation: Contexts, Modes and Technologiesprovides across-section of multi-national perspectives on teaching various dimensions of translation both within dedicated programmes and as part of individual modules on translation- adjacent programmes. This volume offers essential up-to-date perspectives to ensure that T&I training remains robust and resilient far into the 21st century.Examining key topics of concern across academia, professional translation practice, and collaborative pedagogies, as well as offering crucial insights from the voices of the trainees themselves, this is an essential text for professionals, scholars, and teachers of translation studies and interpreting studies.

Designed to support English-teaching faculty across high schools and universities, this practical guide presents novel ideas for integrating pop culture into ELA classroom instruction.By establishing a theoretical framework rooted in critical and digital literacies, this book provides a solid foundation for preservice and college teachers to tap into the pop culture that inspires and engages students and teachers alike. Enacting as an essential text for courses in literature instruction and ELA methods, McConnel offers strategies and research-based tools to blend film, fanfiction, and other popular multimodal texts in ways that will reenergize the curriculum, meet standards-based goals, and motivate students.Building Literacy Through Pop Culture in the ELA Classroom is an innovative textbook that belongs on the shelves of current and aspiring English instructors.
Symbolic Representations
It is unquestionably true that many literary writers employ symbols, signs, images and imagery to express profound connotations that are beyond the surface implications of their work. Symbolism has become a vital concept that is used not just in our everyday life but also in literature to represent or express qualities and ideas. This study aims at proving that Non-Verbal Communication (NVC), apart from it being culturally situated, can be of universal semantic implications. For example, waving of hands, nodding of the head to show acceptance or agreement, winking of the eyes to show love and invitation among many extra verbal means of communication. Symbolism is often used by writers to enhance their writing and give insight to the reader.
Speaking competence of G-11 students in using english as 2nd language
Recent studies show that the quality of education in the Philippines is continuously declining (Racca and Lasaten, 2016). This scenario is also evident in Magallanes National High School where the author is teaching. As observed, the students have hard time expressing their thoughts using English language. A typical scenario would be students show reluctance in presenting their ideas when an activity requires oral response. It has been observed that they tend to avoid eye contact with the teacher in hopes of not being called to answer. Some students even divert their attention as if they do not hear the teacher asking. This study is conducted to determine the relationship between the personal profile, linguistic competence, and speaking anxiety of the students to their speaking competence. At the same time, the study aims to determine their level of speaking competence. In the long run, the results of this study will open opportunities for teachers and future researchers in the pursuit of improving the speaking competence of students through providing activities that will help the students improve their conversational skills.

African oral literature
The book presents various types of song used by the Congolese to express their deepest feelings.In fact, many people are content with the melody without paying attention to the message conveyed by the author, whereas there is a hidden intention behind each song.So we began by listing the different songs, from the so-called traditional ones to those of modern music, where we drew out the themes developed, including the semantics of each song.In fact, the latter reflects the author's or community's vision of the world, and is characterized by the lessons to be learned. It appears as a means par excellence of communication aimed at different social strata, with the aim of harmonizing internal relations.Nowadays, it has been proven that song also facilitates the release of tension and helps to achieve catharsis to a certain extent, especially in the case of so-called traditional or even religious songs.To help understand the communities targeted in the analysis, an ethnological presentation preceded the exploitation of the songs.

Reimagining Literacies Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century
This book sheds light on the array of transformative literacies in the Global South, which English language teachers and educators seek to integrate within their pedagogical practices. In English language teaching (ELT), there is an increasing need for a shift away from dominant literacy thinking, knowledge and practices that originate in the Global North. This collection brings together contemporary research and practice on how literacies are theorized, challenged, embedded and enacted in ELT practice in the Global South. It showcases research that focuses on the intersections of multiple literacies and English language pedagogy, and how these fuse with the social, cultural, historical and political realities of contexts where English is a foreign, second or additional language. The authors provide insightful examples of pedagogical research and practice that reinvigorate a wide range of literacies often invisible or silenced in both the 'North' and 'South'. These include multicultural literacy, critical environmental literacy, digital multimodal literacy, the interplay of visual literacy and local culture, multiple literacies in ELT racializing practices, multiliteracies pedagogies for teacher agency and social justice. With a focus on the diverse contexts of South America and Africa, some chapters in this volume leverage their unique socio-cultural and socio-political contexts to foreground the literacies experiences and practices of students, teachers and educators in ELT settings that contribute to improved language learning experiences.
Translation Beyond Translation Studies
What is 'translation'? Even as the scholarly viewpoint of translation studies has expanded over recent years, the notion of 'translation' has remained fixedly defined by its interlinguistic element. However, there are many different contexts and disciplines in which translation takes place for which this definition is entirely unsuitable. Exploring translational aspects in contexts in which scholars do not think about 'translation', this book considers the alternative uses of the term beyond the interlinguistic dimension. Taking our understanding of 'translation' back to its basic semiotic principles, leading experts outline the wide variety of alternative fields of study, practices, applications and contexts in which the term 'translation' is used. Chapters examine 11 different fields of study, exploring what the term 'translation' means, how it is used and what it could contribute to an enlarged understanding of 'translation' as a concept. In this way, the volume argues for a reimagining of what we mean by translation, providing an essential reference for anyone interested in how translation is understood and practiced beyond the narrow perspectives of the field of translation studies itself.

Medieval Teachers of Freedom
Medieval debates over "divine creation" are systematically obscured in our age by the conflict between "Intelligent Design" Creationists and Evolutionists. The present investigation cuts through the web of contemporary conflicts to examine problems seated at the heart of medieval talk about creation. From three representative authors we learn that the doctrine of divine creation is supposed to invite understanding of the relation between artistic freedom and natural necessity, of the very essence of causality, and thereby of the nexus between experience (our world of empirical determinations) and reality (the absolute indetermination of eternal being). Most importantly, medieval scholarship shows us that the problems it addresses are originally inherent in the understanding itself, whereby the question of being emerges as inseparable from the question of interpretation.

The Edwardian Picture Postcard as a Communications Revolution
This monograph offers a novel investigation of the Edwardian picture postcard as an innovative form of multimodal communication, revealing much about the creativity, concerns and lives of those who used postcards as an almost instantaneous form of communication.In the early twentieth century, the picture postcard was a revolutionary way of combining short messages with an image, making use of technologies in a way impossible in the decades since, until the advent of the digital revolution. This book offers original insights into the historical and social context in which the Edwardian picture postcard emerged and became a craze. It also expands the field of Literacy Studies by illustrating the combined use of posthuman, multimodal, historic and linguistic methodologies to conduct an in-depth analysis of the communicative, sociolinguistic and relational functions of the postcard. Particular attention is paid to how study of the picture postcard can reveal details of the lives and literacy practices of often overlooked sectors of the population, such as working-class women. The Edwardian era in the United Kingdom was one of extreme inequalities and rapid social change, and picture postcards embodied the dynamism of the times. Grounded in an analysis of a unique, open access, digitized collection of 3,000 picture postcards, this monograph will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of Literacy Studies, sociolinguistics, history of communications and UK social history.
Young Children's Language in Context
This book explores how young children's language development is intricately connected to the context in which it takes place. The term 'context' not only specifies a geographical location, but also encompasses notions of culture, community and activity. 'Context' also refers to discourse features and functions, and to the relationships between the speakers. Every context thus embodies specific practices, intentions and values which privilege particular words, phrases, meanings and communication conventions. Each chapter highlights the dynamic, fluid and multifaceted interplays between language and context to illustrate how context, in every sense, is inextricably intertwined with young children's language and literacy learning opportunities. The chapters interrogate the topic of 'Young Children's Language in Context' by collectively exploring the multiple ways that context, broadly and variously conceptualised, intersects with language and literacy experiences. Authors examine how contexts shape language and literacy learning opportunities, how children's language shapes their social-interactive and relationship contexts, and how their language and literacy experiences are, themselves contexts which create socially and culturally endorsed ways to represent ideas, intentions and expectations. This book will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of early childhood education and language development. It was originally published as a special issue in the International Journal of Early Years Education.

Of Peninsulas and Archipelagos
Comprising 11 countries and hundreds of languages from one of the most culturally diverse regions in the world, the chapters in this collection explore a wide range of translation issues. The subject of this volume is set in the contrasted landscapes of mainland peninsulas and maritime archipelagos in Southeast Asia, which, whilst remaining a largely minor area in Asian studies, harbors a wealth of textual heritage that opens to inquiries and new readings. From the post-Angkor Cambodia, the post-colonial Viantiane, to the ultra-modern Singapore metropolis, translation figures problematically in the modernization of indigenous literatures, criss-crossing chronologically and spatially through different literary landscapes. The peninsular geo-body gives rise to the politics of singularity as seen in the case of the predominant monolingual culture in Thailand, whereas the archipelagic geography such as the thousand islands of Indonesia allows for peculiar types of communication. Translation can also be metaphorized poetically to configure the transference in different scenarios such as the cases of self-translation in Philippine protest poetry and untranslatability in Vietnamese diasporic writings. The collection also includes intra-regional comparative views on historical and religious terms. This book will appeal to scholars and postgraduate students of translation studies, sociolinguistics, and Southeast Asian studies.
Community Literacy Journal 18.2 (Spring 2024)
COMMUNITY LITERACY JOURNAL 18.2 (Spring 2024) The journal understands "community literacy" as the domain for literacy work outside mainstream educational and work institutions. It can be found in programs devoted to adult education, early childhood education, reading initiatives, lifelong learning, workplace literacy, or work with marginalized populations, but it can also be found in more informal, ad hoc projects. For COMMUNITY LITERACY JOURNAL, literacy is the realm where attention is paid not just to content or knowledge but to the symbolic means by which it is represented and used. Thus, literacy makes reference not just to letters and to text but to other multimodal and technological representations as well. We publish work that contributes to the field's emerging methodologies and research agendas. CONTENTS: Editors' Introduction by Isabel Baca and Natasha N.

Behind the concrete wall and the invisible curtain
During the Cold War, the inhabitants of countries aligned with the Soviet socialist regime suffered from the most general restrictions, such as the curtailment of the right to free movement, control of the economy and food shortages, but also from the constant threat of nuclear war. In addition, citizens who were denounced as enemies of the state were persecuted by the political police, who manipulated them through surveillance, physical violence and emotional destabilisation. The atmosphere of repression, fear and violence were components of a disturbing reality that created the conditions for cumulative trauma. The aim of this work is to see how the traumatic experience of these times and the strategies of resistance to trauma are represented in literature written after the end of the communist dictatorship.

The novel of introspection in Brazil
This study examines the expression of subjectivity in Albertina Bertha's fiction, specifically in her lyrical novel and philosophical digressions Exalta癟瓊o, published in 1916. In this way, we are interested in the subjective processes and narrative techniques for presenting consciousness, as well as the author's affiliation with the introspective novel in Brazil, situating her within Brazilian literature through this modality. We intend to place her in a lineage, in correlation with other novels of introspection, verifying how these works echoed the ruptures with Realism in Brazil, the dialogue between Brazilian writers and the aesthetics of the late 19th century, especially Symbolism, what the meaning of space is in the narratives and its relationship with subjective processes, and which language procedures will be taken up by other Brazilian writers in narratives exploring subjectivity. In addition, this work aims to contribute to the development of a history - as yet non-existent - of the novel of introspection in Brazil.
