Para dar conta dessa questão, em especial no que tange à agricultura, o autor faz a defesa de dois pontos fundamentais: primeiramente, a consolidação de uma tecnologia da agricultura, entendida como uma ciência humana dedicada aos fatos técnicos desse campo; em segundo lugar, advoga pelo aprofundamento do diálogo entre etnólogos e agrônomos a respeito da complexidade e da diversidade dos fenômenos técnicos na agricultura. A tecnologia da agricultura, concebida como equivalente a uma etnociência dos fatos técnicos e como um campo de encontro entre agrônomos e etnólogos, abre caminho para que os sistemas agrícolas tradicionais e seus saberes técnicos associados possam dialogar com os saberes agronômicos.","PeriodicalId":43226,"journal":{"name":"Ilha do Desterro-A Journal of English Language Literatures in English and Cultural Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135692982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

São identificadas quatro fontes não mutuamente excludentes: a biomedicina, a clínica, grupos de usuários especialistas e uma rede pessoal de contatos. O hormônio se localiza no centro de oposições como natural/artificial, legal/ ilegal e legítimo/ilegítimo e articula uma ampla circulação de saberes que compõem sua própria biografia.

No contexto dessas narrativas, entendem-se corpos marginalizados como aqueles que mais sofrem pelos efeitos de uma exploração capitalista desenfreada, de uma crise climática sem precedentes e da incapacidade de gerência do governo. Nessa categoria, incluem-se corpos de diferentes raças, gêneros, idades, entre outros.

Analysis of the utterances postulates that the family’s stereotypical and value-ridden statements affect the child’s understanding of the making of a woman as the narrator’s psychosexual development occurs under the influence of sex-typed individuals who mainly use implicit performatives primarily marked as verdictive utterances. Hence, the narrator’s immediate social environment exerts their authority and power through specific linguistic constructions, as exemplified in the forceful use of the verdictives.","PeriodicalId":43226,"journal":{"name":"Ilha do Desterro-A Journal of English Language Literatures in English and Cultural Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79323090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a first-generation immigrant, Nimisha projects the concept of “cultural transplantation” in a diasporic setting. She represents the Indian-American women and brings out their quandaries, joys, and sorrows during their struggle between relocation and acculturation. Seen through the eyes of Priyanka, Pashmina charts Nimisha’s quest for identity in India and the diaspora. Through the psychological, cultural, and generational conflict of Nimisha and her daughter, Nidhi Chanani presents a mother-daughter duo to us who challenge the traditional concept of diasporic womanhood in various ways. The present paper demarcates the zones of Nidhi Chanani’s female diasporic characters’ confirmation of the prevalent diasporic theories and their breaking from them. It further proceeds to focus on how the traditional concept of diasporic victimhood and forced exile has given way to emancipation and identity formation. Finally, the article examines how the graphic novel presents America as a total antithesis to India: although geographically alien, the country is perceived by immigrant women as a place in which they can survive with dignity and respect.","PeriodicalId":43226,"journal":{"name":"Ilha do Desterro-A Journal of English Language Literatures in English and Cultural Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77941901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reluctant at first, she comes to terms with her responsibilities later in the series, in a movement that echoes Joseph Campbell’s definition of the monomyth. The authors propose to discuss Buffy’s changes throughout the series, emphasizing key narrative moments, in order to illustrate how the character evolves from what could be perceived as an archetype similar to the “final girl” to a (feminist?) heroine. Additionally, the authors comment on the abuse allegations against Buffy’s creator Joss Whedon, and how they relate to the series’ legacy twenty-five years later.","PeriodicalId":43226,"journal":{"name":"Ilha do Desterro-A Journal of English Language Literatures in English and Cultural Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78967055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
