ResumoO objetivo deste artigo é discutir o ato de pesquisar em ciências humanas, tendo como foco a produção escrita. Assim sendo, buscamos definir o que entendemos por escrever com o outro, a partir do pesquisar com. O que está em pauta é uma postura metodológica, que tem como referência a filosofia da linguagem de Mikhail Bakhtin, cujo fundamento é assumir o interlocutor da pesquisa como parceiro e coautor. O compromisso ético com o discurso do outro tem como premissa os conceitos de dialogismo e alteridade para iluminar o encontro com o outro no campo e, posteriormente, na escrita do texto. Esse modo de atuar instaura alguns questionamentos éticos, tal como a exigência do anonimato, e problematiza a forma como o consentimento livre e esclarecido é tratado na pesquisa. Em síntese, narrar uma pesquisa não é só registrar os acontecimentos, mas consiste em um trabalho político de afirmação de algumas verdades em detrimento de outras.Palavras-chave: ética; dialogismo; alteridade; escrever com; pesquisar com. AbstractThis article discusses the act of research in Human Sciences which focuses on the production of writing. Thus, starting from the conceptual foundation of researching with, we seek to define what we mean by writing with the other. What is at stake is a methodological approach which accepts the interlocutor of research as partner and co-author, an approach based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s philosophy of language. The ethical commitment to the other’s discourse is premised on the concepts of dialogism and alterity to illuminate the encounter with the other in the field and, subsequently, in the written text. This way of working poses ethical questions—such as conditions of anonymity—and problematizes the way in which consent is accorded and treated in the research. In short, relating research findings is not just about recording events. It consists in the affirmation of certain truths at the expense of others as political activity.Keywords: ethics; dialogism; alterity; writing with, researching with.

Literary Writing

This article describes how the pathways and modalities through which self-consciousness and self-valuation are reached are closely interdependent with the vision of others. But the vision of the other can never be known directly by any one of us, not even in the other's presence: even when I am in front of the gaze of the other, the other is always the other-for-me. Neither studies of the psychological or psychoanalytical orders, nor those conducted in the sphere of philosophical reflection oriented autonomously from other spheres can contribute to a semiotics of the image of self as this is construed interpreting the signs of the vision of the other. Literary writing above all can contribute in this sense. The Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin resorts to literature, verbal art for his semiotics and philosophy of language and is often interpreted mistakenly as a literary critic precisely because of this. In this framework, he analyses the signs forming one's own image of self for each one of us, in the interlacement between I-for-myself, the other-for-me, I-for-the-other.

Abstract The study compares two different graphic marking systems designed to help L2 learners of Swedish notice and realize phonological length. In System A, 22 L2 learners read aloud three /VːC/ words with length marked under long vowels and three /VCː/words with dots under short vowels. Twenty-two other L2 learners read the same words marked by the other system (System B) that underlines long vowels and long consonants. As a control group, 20 native Swedish speakers read the same words without any marking. We measured and compared the temporal realizations of the six words by all the three groups. System B readers realized Swedish phonological length more closely to the way that native speakers did, compared to System A readers. These results suggest that prompting both long vowels and long consonants can be more effective than marking long and short vowels.

This article aims to offer an opportunity to think and question some of the possible paths to understanding Mikhail Bakhtin’s contributions to the human sciences. Therefore, we will contextualize the ideas from Bakhtin Circle, connecting the semantic production of each one of its Russian members (such as Bakhtin, Medvedev, Volochinov, Kanaiev, Pumpianski and Judina) which provided a collaborative production that has been changing the way Western society thinks about human sciences throughout the last decades. These researchers perceptibly changed the studies on language philosophy, literary theory studies, and also offered a new perspective on discourse genres and basic concepts for linguistic and social studies, such as polyphony, alterity, dialogical relations, etc. These concepts function in relation to one another. We can perceive one element that has combined within itself this dialogue in a way it can provide the interaction between different knowledge areas, thinkers, researches and authors.

The aim of the presented paper is to characterize the way of perception of digital influencers by users of the social network Instagram. Through a quantitative methodological approach, we identify the motives leading to the following of influencers and the perceived impact on the shopping behavior of Instagram users in terms of cultural, social, personal and psychological factors, as well as in terms of specific products. We also characterize the way followers perceive the marketing activities of influencers. In this paper, we discuss the penetration of research findings in the field of social marketing and increasing the level of critical thinking and engagement of today's young consumers.

This book is a collection of new articles on the topic of slurs and other derogatory terms and problematic language. The articles are written by some of the leading contributors to the field. Slurs are an interesting case for the philosophy of language. On one hand, they seem to be meaningful in something like the way many other expressions are meaningful—different slurs might seem in some way to refer to different groups, for example. But on the other hand, it is clear that slurs also have distinctive practical effects and roles. How are those aspects related? Slurs are bad words; but how can words be bad? Just how the use of words is related to their significance is of course one of the deepest issues in philosophy of language: slurs not only refine that issue, by presenting a kind of use that presents novel challenges, but they also give the issue a compelling practical relevance.

This paper investigates how companies are managing their relationships with customers and employees. It shows that loyalty to both groups is shifting. While most companies are claiming that their staff are their most valuable resource the enclosed research findings reveal that the reality is vastly different. On the other hand, many companies are rewarding customer loyalty but the service being delivered, largely through demoralised staff, is falling short of expectations. According to the Commission on Public Policy and British Business (1997), UK firms are generally under‐performing and the staff they employ underachieving. It is suggested that the way forward is for companies to manage their relationships more effectively with both groups and to break the vicious cycle of decline.

Locke and Port-Royal on Affirmation, Negation, and Other Postures of the Mind

The chapter claims that in order to understand Locke’s doctrine of assent, his philosophy of mind needs to be seen in conjunction with his philosophy of language, which in turn gains from being compared with Port-Royal’s logic and grammar. It points out two conflicting facts in Locke’s account of affirmation and negation in the Essay. First, Locke entrusts affirmation and negation with the task of signifying both the assertion by which we manifest our assent to a proposition and the junction or separation of the ideas constituting the proposition. The other fact is that Locke accepts a great variety of ways of considering a proposition. This diversity of ‘postures’ is poorly expressed by the limited number of syncategorematic terms, ‘particles’. The first fact fosters a one-act view of the assent we give to propositions. The second opens the way to a multiple-act view.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender a maneira como os museus trabalham com os objetos arqueológicos referentes à cultura material dos escravizados em sua expografia e acervo. Para tal foi realizado uma análise do acervo arqueológico e expográfico do Museu de Porto Alegre Joaquim Felizardo (criado em 1979) a fim de entender como os objetos relacionados à cultura material dos escravizados estavam expostos e sua relação com os demais objetos. A partir de aí questiona-se a maneira como são tratadas as memórias desse passado colonial violento vinculado à escravidão. Através de uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa com observação das visitas guiadas e entrevistas a funcionárias do museu, percebeu-se a importância da mediação para a compreensão da expografia e demais aspectos do museu assim como possíveis maneiras de trabalhar essas memórias para conhecer o passado e conscientizar ao público a partir dos objetos dos escravizados.Abstract: The purpose of this article is to understand how museums work with archaeological objects related to the material culture of the enslaved in their expografia and collection. For that, an analysis of the archaeological and expographic collection of the Porto Alegre Museum Joaquim Felizardo (created in 1979) was carried out in order to understand how the objects related to the material culture of the enslaved were exposed and their relation with the other objects. From there, one questions the way in which the memories of this violent colonial past linked to slavery are treated. Through a qualitative methodological approach with observation of the guided tours and interviews with museum employees, the importance of mediation for the understanding of the expografia and other aspects of the museum as well as possible ways of working these memories to know the pastand to make the public aware of the objects of the enslaved.

Almost no systematic theorizing is generality-free. Scientists test general hypotheses; set theorists prove theorems about every set; metaphysicians espouse theses about all things regardless of their kind. But how general can we be? Do we ever succeed in theorizing about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in some interestingly final, all-caps-worthy sense of ‘absolutely everything’? Not according to generality relativism. In its most promising form, this kind of relativism maintains that what ‘everything’ and other quantifiers encompass is always open to expansion: no matter how broadly we may generalize, a more inclusive ‘everything’ is always available. The importance of the issue comes out, in part, in relation to the foundations of mathematics. Generality relativism opens the way to avoid Russell’s paradox without imposing ad hoc limitations on which pluralities of items may be encoded as a set. On the other hand, generality relativism faces numerous challenges: What are we to make of seemingly absolutely general theories? What prevents our achieving absolute generality simply by using ‘everything’ unrestrictedly? How are we to characterize relativism without making use of exactly the kind of generality this view foreswears? This book offers a sustained defence of generality relativism that seeks to answer these challenges. Along the way, the contemporary absolute generality debate is traced through diverse issues in metaphysics, logic, and the philosophy of language; some of the key works that lie behind the debate are reassessed; an accessible introduction is given to the relevant mathematics; and a relativist-friendly motivation for Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory is developed.

This paper discusses Pope’s Essay on Criticism in terms of Derek Attridge’s theory of creativity. It argues that Pope’s text is fundamentally based on the same commitment to the other that Attridge describes as constitutive of the singularity of literature and hence the 300-year-old Essay is a vital text which communicates itself to the present in significant ways. The success of poetry for Pope depends primarily on an appropriate relation to nature and the first chapter of this paper argues that the way Pope describes this relation is very similar to Attridge’s description of the relation to the other. The three subsequent chapters discuss how Pope’s concept of “expression” continues this theme and describes the pitfalls as well as the success of relating to nature as the other. The last two sections discuss the Essay’s treatment of the rules. It is shown that the way the rules are presented in the Essay reflects Pope’s fundamental ethical commitment no less than his concepts of nature and “true expression” do.
