Perfilar um dos estudiosos contemporâneos mais expressivos do Jornalismo Literário mundial é o casamento perfeito entre a responsabilidade e o desafio profissional.  John Steven Bak é um homem complexo, como todo ser humano, mas de intrigante e singular personalidade. Estadunidense radicado na França há 20 anos, o professor de Literatura Americana na Universidade de Lorraine (FR) integra o grupo de pesquisadores do Centro de Pesquisas Interdisciplinares de Estudos Ingleses (I.D.E.A), tem pós-doutorado pela Universidade de Sorborne (FR), é doutor e mestre pela Ball State University (EUA) e bacharel em Literatura Americana, Britânica, Retórica e Escrita pela Universidade de Illinois (EUA). Estudioso de literatura, drama e teatro americanos, tem como principal foco de pesquisa a vida e as obras de Tennessee Williams. Há 13 anos retomou sua paixão pelo Jornalismo Literário ao fundar a Associação Internacional de Estudos em Jornalismo Literário (IALJS), por onde vem desenvolvendo inúmeros projetos. Mas Bak também é amigo e pai. E estes últimos talvez sejam os títulos que mais lhe deem orgulho. As três autoras deste texto não pouparam esforços para traduzi-lo em linhas digitais. Uma aventura marcada por encontros, pesquisas e bate-papos, mas que apesar de não dar conta de quem ele é – se é que alguma obra o dará –, promete, ao menos, trazer à luz mundana um pedaço da magia humana, vida e obra deste inspirado cientista social.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: John S. Bak; Jornalismo Literário; Associação Internacional de Estudos em Jornalismo Literário; IALJS; Tennessee Williams.     ABSTRACT Outlining one of the most expressive contemporary scholars of Literary Journalism Studies is the perfect match between responsibility and professional challenge. John Steven Bak is a complex man, as every human being, but has an intriguing and unique personality. An American settled in France for the last 20 years, the professor of Literature at the University of Lorraine (FR) is a researcher at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in English Studies (IDEA), has a postdoctoral degree from the University of Sorborne (FR), holds a PhD and a master degree from Ball State University (USA) and is graduated in American, British, Rhetoric and Written Literature from the University of Illinois (USA). A scholar of American literature, drama, and theater, his main focus is research on the life and works of Tennessee Williams. Thirteen years ago he returned to his passion for Literary Journalism by founding the International Association of Studies in Literary Journalism (IALJS), where he has been developing many projects. But Bak is also a friend and father. And the latter may be the proudest titles he holds. The three authors of this text spared no efforts to translate all his talents into this text. An literary journalism adventure marked by encounters, researches and chats, but despite not fully accomplished detect who he is – if any work will do – this life story promises, at least, to bring to the mundane light a piece of the human magic, life and work of this inspired social scientist.   KEYWORDS: John S. Bak; Literary Journalism; International Association for Literary Journalism Studies; IALJS; Tennessee Williams.     RESUMEN Perfilar uno de los estudiosos contemporáneos más expresivos del periodismo literario mundial es el matrimonio perfecto entre la responsabilidad y el desafío profesional.

As línguas germânicas investigadas por Isabel Soares em sua graduação deram lugar, no mestrado e no doutorado, aos estudos anglo-portugueses. Professora do Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas da Universidade de Lisboa, é autora de dois livros que chama de “pseudoficcionais” por terem “um fundo autobiográfico”. Seu interesse por autores do “jornalismo não convencional” fez com que se aproximasse do jornalismo literário, tanto que, em 2016, foi eleita presidente da International Association for Literary Journalism Studies (IALJS). Ela se define como portuguesa com raízes alemãs. Hoje, sua experiência como pesquisadora, amante das línguas, das viagens e da escrita tem contribuído para dar visibilidade aos estudos em jornalismo literário português.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Isabel Soares; jornalismo literário; Association for Literary Journalism Studies; crônica; blogs de viagem.   ABSTRACT The Germanic languages investigated by Isabel Soares as an undergraduate student gave way to the Anglo-Portuguese studies she developed as a Master’s and PhD candidate. Now a Professor at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Lisbon, she is also the author of two books which she calls “pseudofictional”, because they have an “autobiographical foundation”. Her interest on authors connected to the “unconventional journalism” has brought her closer to literary journalism, so much so that, in 2016, she was elected president of the International Association for Literary Journalism Studies (IALJS). She defines herself as Portuguese with German roots. Today, her experience as a researcher, lover of languages, travels and writing contributes to making the studies on Portuguese literary journalism more visible.   KEYWORDS: Isabel Soares; literary journalism; Association for Literary Journalism Studies; chronicle; travel blogs.     RESUMEN Las investigaciones en lenguas germánica del grado de Isabel Soares dieron paso, en su maestría y en su doctorado, a los estudios angloportugueses.

In 1990 (Fluegeman and Orr) the writers published a short study on known North American cyclocystoids. This enigmatic group is best represented in the United States Devonian by only two specimens, both illustrated in the 1990 report. Previously, the Cortland, New York, specimen initially described by Heaslip (1969) was housed at State University College at Cortland, New York, and the Logansport, Indiana, specimen was housed at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. Both institutions recognize the importance of permanently placing these rare specimens in a proper paleontologic repository with other cyclocystoids. Therefore, these two specimens have been transferred to the curated paleontologic collection at the University of Cincinnati Geological Museum where they can be readily studied by future workers in association with a good assemblage of Ordovician specimens of the Cyclocystoidea.

Drawing on the discipline of border studies, the article examines the epistemological dilemmas with travelogues per literary journalism studies, given that they involve the simultaneous crossing of both physical (geopolitical frontiers) and conceptual (textual/genetic) borders. The article uses as its case study a travelogue written by American playwright Tennessee Williams during his Grand Tour through Europe in 1928 when he was just seventeen. A rare example of the playwright’s flirtation with the genre of literary journalism at a time when objective journalism was establishing itself as the newsprint norm, the travelogue – published in ten installments in his high school newspaper in the months following the trip – offers a first glimpse in Williams scholarship not only into the playwright’s artistic future but also his struggle with distancing factual from fictional representation. Read against his early letters and late memoirs that describe essentially the same content as the travel pieces, the article makes use of border studies methodologies to help negotiate the delicate divide that separates verifiable fact from allowable fiction in literary journalism.

The present article is dedicated to the problems of the organization and planning of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes, gives grounds for the purposes and tasks of such competence-forming activity as part of the “Oriental studies” speciality program, the Russian State University for the Humanities. The article analyzes these competences, as well as forms and methods of their formation and development. The author presents demarcation of scientific knowledge and gives its characteristics: using most general qualities of a subject, objective reasoning, argumentativeness, results verifiability and reproducibility, consistency, practicality, capability to change, anticipating the future, making forecasts, methodological reflection. The author tried to analyze the reflexive component of scientific and research work of students in more detail. The article presents possible reflexive positions in the interaction between the teacher and the student and shows the dynamics of this interaction, i.e. gives a hierarchy of positions which the student can occupy in the educational process depending on how independent they are in their activity. The article also highlights the content of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes on the basis of work with foreign texts in the macro-discourse for the “Oriental studies” speciality. The given foundations of the organization and content of scientific and research work of students have been regularly used in English language classes, as well as in optional forms of scientific activity. The students have shown good results and passion for this kind of work, which confirms the correctness of this approach.
