Children’s Art Exhibitions in Brazil: A Modern Badge for the New Man

In this article we analyze, within the context of the decades between 1940 and 1960, children’s art exhibits as a strategy for asserting the importance of Art in educating and developing a child’s personality, using newspaper articles, pictures, children’s drawings, reports and other institutional documents as sources. The artistic vanguards of the early 20th century, advocates of the artist’s self expression, and the acknowledgement – by Psychology and Pedagogy – of the specificities of being a child have resulted both in the defense of the child’s freedom of artistic expression, and in a renewal of Art and education concepts of that period of time. As of the mid ‘40s, children’s art caught UNESCO’s attention because it represented potential integration and fraternity among people and the desire to build a new Man. Such exhibits acted as showcases for several ideas and justified the importance of children’s art involving, in the Brazilian context, from governmental agencies to national newspapers and private companies. Aiming at inculcating an educational conduct based on assumptions such as the unrestricted freedom of children’s creative spirit they had, as a contradiction, the censorship of themes considered unsuitable such as violence, and the need to follow a pre-defined esthetic standard.

Translation Between Creativity and Reproducing An Equivalent Original Text

It​ isn't easy to find a comprehensive definition of translation; it is described as science, art and creativity at the same time. In this sense, literary translation, especially poetry, may be considered an art and creative work as opposed to scientific or political translation, where the words can be controlled according to the translator's linguistic skills and grammatical rules. The current research discusses how translation is an art and creative work. It is what many critics and scholars have reached for the "literary genre". It is also noted how the literal translation does not give the translated text its right, artistic colour, elevation, and influence in its original language unless it’s based on translators' creativity. In this paper, our methodology is to look at literary translation as one of the most challenging types of translations, as it depends significantly on taste and the entry of the writer's imagination in the translation, whether he was a writer such as a poet, storyteller or novelist, and this in itself requires a creative spirit to be the image of translation and literary material creative artistic non-literal. Here the two-translator a writer or intellectual and professional translator differ. The latter depends on what he studied and read and what he researched in language study stages. Still, if he is also a writer or intellectual, many images and meanings will change. Yet, without prejudice to the essence of the translated text, and here even between a translator writer and another, the degree of creativity in translation varies and maybe at the same degree of different literary imagination. Finally, it is stressed that the essential in the art of translation is choosing the appropriate term so that it is easy, smooth, and light on the recipient here is a skill. The translator chooses the proper word for each material to be translated.

Linguistic Humor in Memes to Mitigate Post Covid-19 Severity

This paper aims at exploring how the use of humor in memes can serve as a relief therapy in the face of the grave situation of the post-COVID-19 world. The conceptual frameworkor this study is drawn from Sultanoff (1994) theory of humor. He believes in the relieving effect of humor on humans’ psyche. Content analysis was used as a research method to analyze twelve memes shared at WhatsApp, an electronic, social media app for swift human interaction. The study demonstrates that humor is essentially the creative spirit of life that carries on despite hardships. It enables humanity to laugh in order not to cry. The linguistic humor in memes created in the context of the Pandemic Covid-19 serves as a tool to release stress, provide relief and create a sense of well-being.

Verbal Imperialism: “Germany, Awaken! …”

This chapter recognises that, in the journalism and rhetoric of the new creed, there has not been a single German verbal expression that has not belied its purported content. Among the many neologisms inspired by the upheaval, this is already indicated by “Nazi,” the concept on which a revelation of the World Spirit is supposedly based, together with other phrases that could never have been conceived or formulated before the onset of the new order. What is exceptional, however, is the ability to continue in this creative spirit with true-to-type neologisms that adapt language to the needs of the regime's profound duplicity and accentuate its sanctimonious bent, the tendency to draw a veil over ignominious actions. Virtually every communiqué adds further examples of violence disguised as the norm, as when forcible entry into someone's home is described as “rehabilitation.” Or when failure is presented as imminent success and someone stretches the facts by reporting that a rival militia has been “deconstructed.”
