Este capítulo analisa o papel da narrativa na construção discursiva de um ator – a União Europeia (UE) – e na forma como esta acompanha o desenvolvimento da UE nas suas expressões internas e externas. No capítulo analisamos a dimensão de segurança com enfoque na Estratégia Europeia de Segurança de 2003, na Estratégia Global da União Europeia para a Política Externa e de Segurança de 2016, e na Bússola Estratégica de 2022, manifesta nos documentos enquadradores que pretendem consolidar o posicionamento estratégico da UE em termos de segurança, assim como a narrativa relativa ao período da crise financeira que se iniciou em 2008, o modo como esta foi sendo ajustada e o tipo de mensagens e interpretações que implicou. Este olhar crítico sobre a(s) narrativa(s) pretende uma análise mais incisiva sobre a sua implicação nas estratégias e ação política da União nestas matérias, identificando pontos de convergência e desalinhamentos, bem como olhando o modo como as narrativas dominantes procuram legitimar determinadas decisões e opções, contribuindo assim para a construção de uma determinada imagem do ator. This chapter analyses the narrative in the discursive construction of the European Union (EU), which will be unpacked in the way this narrative follows the development of the EU in its internal and external expressions. In the chapter we analyze the security dimension with a focus on the European Security Strategy of 2003, the Global Strategy of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy of 2016, and the Strategic Compass of 2022, framework documents that aim to consolidate the EU’s strategic positioning in terms of security; and the narrative relating to the period of the financial crisis that began in 2008, and how it was adjusted and what kind of messages and interpretations it implied. This critical look at the narrative(s) aims at a more incisive analysis of the way in which they imply the strategies and political action of the Union in these matters, identifying points of convergence and misalignments, as well as looking at the dominant narratives, and the way they seek to legitimize certain decisions and options, thus contributing to the construction of a certain image of this actor.

This paper traces some accounts of what it means to be good readers, writers and speakers of languages in discourses about literacy and linguistic diversity in recent Portuguese history. Discourses about literacy as decontextualised skills and literacy as contextualised practice emerged and re-emerged in cyclical fashion inside and outside national territorial borders, at local, national and global scales from the Estado Novo’s moral politics to the global liberal politics regarding the Portuguese language in the early 21st century. I point to the need to follow trajectories of language and literacy discourses as they intersect with other discourses related to class, race, ethnicity or nation and I propose a historical, ecological and material approach to literacy-in-action in multilingual Portuguese speaking contexts, an approach which would be based on multi-sited collaborative research.

Eastern European migration to Portugal is a relatively recent yet significant phenomenon due to its impact on national legislation and discourses about language, citizenship and identity. Along with other migration movements to Portugal, it has also brought about changes in state policies. The monolingual order within the Portuguese education system has been reinforced through the adoption of the notion of 'Portuguese as a non-native language' and the creation of different categories of speakers of 'other' languages. While these discourses predominate within the national educational system, other discursive spaces (such as complementary schools and playgroups) are being constructed, on the margins of Portuguese society, where other languages and literacies are being learned and used, alongside Portuguese. This paper presents some insights from longitudinal ethnographic research (2004–2013) that was carried out in a complementary school for Russian-speaking children in Portugal run by their parents and grandparents. It looks into the complex ways in which literacy ideologies and practices were reproduced, contested and negotiated in this particular discursive space. It also shows how students drew on the language, literacy and semiotic resources within their communicative repertoires in different ways as they responded agentively to tasks set by the teacher. The paper concludes with reflections on the potential of the complementary school as a "safe space" for fostering flexible multilingual pedagogies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LANGUAGE & languages ,ORATORY ,SOCIAL participation - Abstract
This special issue brings together a collection of case studies that examine the making of speakerhood as experienced by migrants in Spain and Portugal. It focuses on moments in the life course of speakers as they navigate across transnational contexts where they face various linguistic demands. This involves being confronted with the norms, requirements and the values that define who is considered to be a speaker of the "language" or "languages" of the receiving community and being assessed in accordance with a given measure, that is, a canon of speakerhood in a particular community. The findings reveal the complexity of linguistic appropriation and the fundamental inclusive and exclusive nature of the making of a speaker in a world characterized by ambivalent historicities and uncertain investment outcome. The special issue allows critical questioning of notions such as nativeness and new speakerness through a theoretical and political engagement with speakerhood, and to interrogate what it means for whom to navigate linguistically and socially in receiving societies where personhood remains solidly attached to speakerhood.

This study focuses on the tensions around Portugal's language policies and citizens’ perceptions of their linguistic rights in the context of the current orthographic reform. Unlike other linguistic rights studies, this enquiry does not focus on endangered languages or linguistic minorities. Instead, there are three major ingredients that embody linguistic-rights claims by European Portuguese speakers: the right to be heard on orthographic reform in a democratic society, ownership and authenticity of the Portuguese language, and the need for protection against external (or, more specifically, Brazilian) hegemony. A critical discourse analysis approach to the arguments put forward by European Portuguese opponents of the orthographic reform shows that the ongoing discussion: (i) is neither about language nor about rights, but about competition; (ii) is based on linguistic dichotomies and recategorization of speakers and languages; (iii) manipulates the rhetoric of threat, endangerment, linguistic rights, and democracy; and (iv) opens up intra-linguistic and inter-variety spaces for conceptualizing linguistic rights claims.

Tese (doutorado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Letras, Departamento de Linguística, Português e Línguas Clássicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística, 2015. Esta pesquisa ancora-se nos estudos da Análise de Discurso Crítica para a investigação dos efeitos da publicidade voltada para o público infantil nas famílias brasileiras. O tema da publicidade destinada às crianças tem ganhado destaque, no Brasil, nos últimos anos devido à atuação de movimentos civis em prol da regulamentação da publicidade infantil. Tendo em vista os diversos interesses em jogo, o assunto tem sido alvo de discussões e polêmicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é, portanto, contribuir para o debate, de modo a compreender a construção das identidades das crianças nos discursos de mães e pais sobre a publicidade infantil. Para tanto, foram analisadas vinte entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas com mães e pais de crianças com idade entre seis e dez anos em quatro escolas do Distrito Federal. Foram também consideradas, nas análises, práticas sociais envolvidas no processo de consumo das mensagens publicitárias, por parte das crianças. Pautaram as reflexões as contribuições de Fairclough (2001; 2003 e 2010) e os trabalhos de Martin (2000), Martin e Rose (2003) e Martin e White (2005) sobre avaliatividade. As análises apontam que a publicidade destinada a crianças tem causado impactos na dinâmica familiar, sendo, por vezes, responsável por certa desarmonia entre pais e filhos. Ao mesmo tempo em que reforça tradicionais papéis dos atores sociais na família, o consumo da publicidade infantil no contexto familiar também sinaliza para a diversidade de representações da infância e dos modos de se exercer parentalidade. This research bases itself on Critical Discourse Analysis studies to investigate the effects of advertising aimed at children in Brazilian families. The theme of advertising directed to children has gained prominence in Brazil in recent years due to civil movements acting for the regulation of advertising to children. In view of the several interests involved in it, this has been the subject of discussion and controversy. Therefore, the objective of this research is to contribute for the debate in order to have a better understanding of the construction of children’s identities in discourse on children’s advertising of mothers and fathers. Twenty semi-structured interviews carried out with mothers and fathers of children aged between six and ten years old, at four schools in Distrito Federal, were analyzed. It was also considered, in the analysis, social practices involved in the process of consumption of advertising messages by children. The reflections and analyses were based on contributions of Fairclough (2001, 2003 and 2010), Martin (2000), Martin and Rose (2003) and Martin and White (2005) studies on appraisal. The analyses indicate that advertising aimed at children has caused impact on family dynamics, and sometimes, it is responsible for some disharmony between parents and children. At the same time, it reinforces traditional roles of the social actors in family. The reception of advertising to children in the family context also points for a diversity of childhood representations and ways of experiencing parenting.

Tese(doutorado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Letras, Departamento de Linguística, Português e Línguas Classicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística, 2008. Esta tese é o resultado de uma pesquisa que visou à investigação da crise do Movimento Nacional de Meninos e Meninas de Rua no Distrito Federal, empiricamente constatada e confirmada em dados etnográficos, e suas conseqüências para o protagonismo juvenil, objetivo central do Movimento. Para realizar esta pesquisa, foram utilizados métodos etnográficos para geração e coleta de dados. Os métodos selecionados foram a observação participante, as notas de campo, as entrevistas focalizadas, os grupos focais e a gravação de reuniões. Foi realizada observação participante na sede do Movimento na Asa Norte e junto aos núcleos de base do Movimento em cidades satélites de Brasília, desde abril de 2005 até o encerramento das atividades dos núcleos de base em dezembro de 2005. A observação foi registrada em notas de campo, sob a forma de diário de pesquisa. Foram realizados dois encontros de grupos focais em abril de 2006; ambos os grupos tiveram como participantes jovens que na infância e/ou adolescência participaram do Movimento e na juventude mantiveram vínculos com a instituição. Quatro entrevistas focalizadas foram realizadas com membros do MNMMR/DF entre outubro de 2006 e fevereiro de 2007. Participaram das entrevistas duas jovens protagonistas, líderes de núcleos de base, e duas educadoras do Movimento. Duas reuniões foram gravadas; a primeira foi registrada em março de 2006, e a segunda em março de 2007. Como referencial teórico e epistemológico, foi explorada a articulação interdisciplinar entre a Análise de Discurso Crítica e o Realismo Crítico. Para as análises de dados foram utilizadas categorias da Análise de Discurso Crítica, como a interdiscursividade, a modalidade, a coesão, a metáfora, a representação de atores sociais. Os resultados das análises apontam algumas causas discursivas da crise do Movimento, de acordo com pressupostos da crítica explanatória do Realismo Crítico. Os principais mecanismos gerativos que explicam o problema, apontados nos dados, são as contradições na construção de identidades e identificações, no que se refere à constituição da posição ‘menina-educadora’; as relações sociais hierárquicas resistentes à transformação; a crise de legitimação social da luta do Movimento; a adesão ao discurso da imobilidade das estruturas sociais; a carência de recursos simbólicos ligados ao discurso e a naturalização da incapacidade de transformar essa carência; a ausência de espaços legítimos de transição de papéis na instituição. Os capítulos analíticos da tese possibilitam, portanto, reflexões acerca da crise do Movimento Nacional de Meninos e Meninas de Rua no Distrito Federal e suas conseqüências para o protagonismo juvenil, gerando compreensão de algumas das causas discursivas dessa crise e de seus efeitos para a instituição. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT This thesis is the result of a research study aimed at investigating the crisis in the National Street Children’s Movement in the Federal District. This crisis as well as its consequences on juvenile protagonism, the Movement’s main focus, were proven empirically and confirmed in ethnographic data. In conducting this study, ethnographic methods were used to generate and collect data. The methods used were participant-observation, fieldnotes, focus interviews, focus groups and recordings of meetings. Participant-observation was carried out at the Movement’s headquarters in Brasilia as well as at the Movement’s branches in Brasilia’s satellite cities from April 2005 up to the close of the branches’ activities in December, 2005. Observations were recorded as field notes in a research diary. Two focal group meetings were held in April, 2006. Both groups included young people who during their childhood and/or adolescence had taken part in the Movement and still maintained links to the institution. Four focus interviews were conducted with the Federal District Movement’s members between October, 2006 and February, 2007. Two young protagonists – branch leaders and two Movement educators participated in the interviews. Two meetings were taped. The first was recorded in March 2006 and the second in March 2007. Theoretical and epistemological references were based upon the interdisciplinary articulation between Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Realism. In analyzing the data, Critical Discourse Analysis categories such as interdiscursivity, modality, cohesion, metaphor and representation of social actors were used. Results of the analyses indicate that there are some discursive causes for the Movement’s crisis in keeping with the presuppositions in explanatory criticism in Critical Realism. The main generative mechanisms that explain the problem and highlighted in the data are contradictions in identity and identification construction regarding the constitution of the ‘girl-educator’ position; hierarchical social relations resistant to transformation; the social legitimating of the crisis in the Movement’s struggle; adherence to immobility discourse in social structures; the lack of symbolic resources linked to discourse and the naturalization of the incapacity to transform this; the absence of legitimate spaces for role transition in the institution. The analytical chapters in this study allow therefore for reflecting upon the Federal District Street Children’s Movement crisis and its consequences on youth protagonism and hence consider some of the discursive causes for this crisis and its effects upon the institution.

- Abstract
Women's Legal Landmarks in the Interwar Years shines new light on 33 legal landmarks, many forgotten today, that affected women in England and Wales between 1918 and 1939. It considers the work of feminist activists to bring about legal change which benefited – or aimed to benefit – women. Areas explored include property, inheritance, adoption, marriage, access to health care, criminal law, employment opportunities, pay, pensions and political representation. It also examines campaigns by key women's organisations, and assesses the impact of early women lawyers and politicians. While some of the landmarks effected change during this period, others provided the foundation for measures in later decades. Together the landmarks demonstrate that far from being a relatively quiet period of British feminism, the interwar period played a key role in ongoing fights for recognition, representation and justice.

- Abstract
La denominada superdiversidad (Vertovec, 2007), producto de la intensificación de la globalización y las ideologías neoliberales, no solo se manifiesta en las grandes metrópolis, sino que también emerge en las áreas periféricas y rurales (Wang et al., 2014). Los procesos sociolingüísticos vinculados a estas transformaciones requieren nuevos planteamientos metodológicos, tanto en la investigación sociolingüística como en las posibles aplicaciones en el ámbito educativo. En este marco, los trabajos incluidos en este volumen colectivo constituyen una muestra representativa de aportaciones, que permiten poner cara a cara diferentes propuestas metodológicos y datos procedentes de escenarios sociolingüísticos super-diversos de índole diversa. Una parte central del monográfico girará en torno a la emergencia de la superdiversidad y del multilingüismo conectado con la migración en investigaciones desarrolladas en la Galicia rururbana, escasamente investigada. Los capítulos restantes introducirán otros escenarios y contextos que permitirán contrastar y ofrecer una visión panorámica de métodos y aplicaciones.

- Abstract
By foregrounding language practices in educational settings, this timely volume offers a postcolonial critique of the languaging of higher education and considers how Southern epistemologies can be used to further the decolonization of post-secondary education in the Global South.Offering a range of contributions from diverse and minoritized scholars based in countries including South Africa, Rwanda, Sudan, Qatar, Turkey, Portugal, Sweden, India, and Brazil, The Languaging of Higher Education in the Global South problematizes the use of language in various areas of higher education. Chapters demonstrate both subtle and explicit ways in which the language of pedagogy, scholarship, policy, and partcipiation endorse and privelege Western constructs and knowledge production, and utilize Southern theories and epistemologies to offer an alternative way forward – practice and research which applies and promotes Southern epistemologies and local knowledges. The volume confronts issues including integrationism, epistemic solidarity, language policy and ideology, multilingualism, and the increasing use of technology in institutions of higher education. This innovative book will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in the fields of higher education, applied linguistics, and multicultural education. Those with an interest in the decolonization of education and language will find the book of particular use.

- Abstract
Translation and Translanguaging brings into dialogue translanguaging as a theoretical lens and translation as an applied practice. This book is the first to ask: what can translanguaging tell us about translation and what can translation tell us about translanguaging?Translanguaging originated as a term to characterize bilingual and multilingual repertoires. This book extends the linguistic focus to consider translanguaging and translation in tandem – across languages, language varieties, registers, and discourses, and in a diverse range of contexts: everyday multilingual settings involving community interpreting and cultural brokering, embodied interaction in sports, text-based commodities, and multimodal experimental poetics. Characterizing translanguaging as the deployment of a spectrum of semiotic resources, the book illustrates how perspectives from translation can enrich our understanding of translanguaging, and how translanguaging, with its notions of repertoire and the'moment', can contribute to a practice-based account of translation.Illustrated with examples from a range of languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Czech, Lingala, and varieties of English, this timely book will be essential reading for researchers and graduate students in sociolinguistics, translation studies, multimodal studies, applied linguistics, and related areas.

- Abstract
This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries.Travels Among the Dena chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author's photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology.
