Título: Anatomia de Keats: imaginação, arte, melancolia, ciência, sonho e mito
Autor: Guimarães, Paula Alexandra
Resumo: Na sua poesia, Keats propôs-nos sobretudo o ato de contemplação da beleza como uma forma ou meio de podermos retardar a cruel inevitabilidade da morte. E, frequentemente, os seus enunciantes deixam o sofrido mundo do real – feito de labor árduo e de doença asfixiante - para explorarem um domínio infinitamente superior na sua própria imaginação - um reino transcendente, mítico ou estético. No final, regressam sempre à sua vida quotidiana, mas transformados de alguma forma e munidos de uma nova compreensão. O entendimento precoce, para um jovem poeta como Keats, de que a melancolia é parte integrante da experiência humana, devendo ser aceite de bom grado como elemento inevitável da vida.

Título: Comparing literature and empire: british-portuguese intercultural contacts and responses during the Victorian Period
Autor: Guimarães, Paula Alexandra
Resumo: This paper proposes to address and problematize relevant issues in the Victorian Period that are connected with the comparative analysis of different cultures (showing both transnational and transatlantic perspectives of the Other), with the more specific problems of race and empire and respective discourses, focusing in the literary reception of some major authors and works in Britain and in Portugal. During the long nineteenth century, the two allied imperial nations (and their protagonists) were frequently, and decisively, confronted with one another in the national and international spheres, occasioning multiple contacts and encounters, mutually enriching both the political and literary cultures of the two European countries. In this unprecedented and sometimes unequal exchange, which started early on with the Peninsular Wars, continued with the Liberal and Constitutional conflicts under British control, and ended in the colonial confrontation culminating with the British Ultimatum at the fin-de-siècle, many were the intercultural responses – laudatory and critical – on both sides. These varied and interesting responses range from comments in the printing press and in public speeches, to complete travel accounts and some major literary works (in poetry and prose), a brief selection and treatment of which will serve to illustrate the respective attitudes towards the (foreign/colonial) Other and the complex issues (and consequences) of both imperial expansion and decadence.

Título: Nationalism and internationalism in Europe’s ‘Spring of Nations’ (1848) and its impact on British literary culture
Autor: Guimarães, Paula Alexandra
Resumo: The Revolutions of 1848 may have ended in failure, exile, imprisonment, even death, but their momentum represented a seismic wave to European administrations, changing structures and ideas, reframing political debates (Clark, 2019). Though the Victorians were by nature conservative, they felt that constitutions should be conferred from above and not extracted by force from below; hence their violent reaction to the Chartist challenge in 1848. Not surprisingly, in responding to the revolutions on the continent, Great Britain resolved to remain neutral and insist on the preservation of law and order. Carlyle (1850) attacked hereditary aristocracy but saw democracy as a quasiutopian ideal, unworkable and ultimately heralding complete social collapse. Within Britain there was, nevertheless, considerable sympathy for some of the liberal movements on the continent. The poets of the mid-nineteenth century lived in a time of 'nation-building' and the Italian Risorgimento raised questions about community and individual liberty that were especially problematic for subjects of the multi-national United Kingdom (Reynolds 2005).
These questions are at the heart of the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Browning, Tennyson, and Clough, which investigates the symbolic and actual interactions between personal union and national unity, and exploits correspondences between political government and poetic form. Clough’s The Bothie and Amours both come to grips with nationalism and nationalist rhetoric. Later poets who openly espoused republican political ideals sought to embody and advance those principles: Landor, Meredith, Thomson and Swinburne connect the formal strategies of republican poems to the political theory and expressive cultures of republican radicalism (Weiner, 2005). The general understanding was that the foundational basis of politics was the nation, and that it was towards the national state that the forces of history were inexorably drifting (Dengate, 2017). The Democracy, therefore, was usually imag(in)ed as a European order characterised by a confederation of free nations. Nationalism and internationalism were not viewed as opposing forces: a true patriot was imagined an internationalist, a supporter of universal liberty and the claims to nationhood.

Resumo: We present the results of an exploratory study involving 48 Brazilian high school students between the ages of 15 and 26 (M=16.62, SD=1.60). Questionnaires were administered to assess the impact of two grammar instructional strategies on learning using a pretest-posttest control-group design. The questionnaires were implemented in a web-based tool that provides measures on the degree of confidence and hesitation in the responses, which were used to study the decision-making process during the performance of language tasks.
