A impressionante e sólida trajetória da professora Carla Viana Coscarelli, centrada em temas como leitura, produção de textos, ensino e letramento digital, justifica por si só a sua presença como entrevistada neste número da Palimpsesto. Graduada em Letras pela Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, ela é mestre e doutora em Estudos Linguísticos pela mesma Universidade, tem pós-doutorado em Ciências Cognitivas pela University of California (San Diego) e em Educação pela University of Rhode Island. Sua tese de doutorado, “Leitura em ambiente multimídia e a produção de inferências”, defendida em 1999, é um dos exemplos da reflexão da entrevistada sobre a inclusão de múltiplas fontes no processo de leitura e aprendizagem, a qual vem sendo aprimorada ao longo de sua carreira. Atualmente, é Professora Titular da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, onde participa do Núcleo de Pesquisa Lingtec (Língua e Tecnologia), do Ceale (Centro de alfabetização, leitura e escrita) e coordena o Projeto de Extensão Redigir, um belíssimo exemplo de como ensino, pesquisa e extensão, quando bem articulados, geram resultados muito frutíferos.

Is Completely Fine had already been the cause of a considerable stir in the literary world before it was first published in May 2017. The Scottish writer's manuscript engendered a bidding war between major publishers that saw HarperCollins as the final winner. Earning rave reviews from newspapers such as The Guardian and The Irish Times, the Scottish author's debut novel appears to have touched upon themes readers had been eager to see portrayed in fiction for some time. We soon learn that the protagonist-Eleanor Oliphant-is more than a bit odd. She is a textbook outcast as some might say. From the outset, the endearing unreliable narrator hints at a dark past and a traumatic event that redefined the path her life would take. A complicated and affectiondeprived childhood helped mould Miss Oliphant's character. Eleanor's past and its horrors begin to take shape and become clearer as the plot progresses. The title character's troubles and anxiety towards conceiving what would be appreciated as appropriate behaviour in social interactions as well as the dimension of her loneliness might strike a chord with some of the readers' own routines. Honeyman sheds a light upon the fact that in our day and age it is pointless to pretend loneliness is something reserved exclusively for elderly people in nursing homes. Eleanor is perfectly candid while stating that her free time and weekends would go by without any sort of human interaction besides the brief exchanges with bus drivers or shop clerks. While Oliphant did not even own a computer at the beginning of the novel (she only becomes interested in browsing the internet after developing a crush on a singer from a band),
While it is not yet possible to gauge the long-term impacts of the shifts brought on by the experiences of 2020, it seems safe to assume this year will be remembered by the many critical events that precipitated change in the ways humans relate to each other and to our environment. The most far-reaching of those is, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Black Lives Matter marches, popular demonstrations against totalitarian governments throughout the world, as well as deeply concerning tipping-points regarding climate change are all part of a collective conversation we feel the urge to engage with. Nearly six months into our own experience with the pandemic in Brazil, after the loss of more than one hundred thousand lives to COVID-19, we at Palimpsesto aim at publishing pieces that not only acknowledge the circumstances under which they were written, but that also engage and produce critical thinking about them. It was within this spirit, and not only considering this issue's theme – “Literature Teaching in Digital Contexts: Dialogues and Connections” – that we approached Dr. Alex Gil and asked him for an interview.Alex Gil is a well-known scholar in the field of Digital Humanities not only for his work as a Digital Scholarship Librarian at Columbia University Libraries or as a developer of ingenious projects, but also for the fact that he often directs his abilities to produce tools that help promote social change. Dr. Gil has developed and collaborated in several of such efforts, as we discuss throughout our interview. Bearing Witness, one of his most recent initiatives, has been jointly announced by him and Prof. Samuel Roberts (Columbia University) and appears as “an effort to document and interpret the events associated with the novel coronavirus epidemic in the United States as it pertains to racialized minorities”. We strongly recommend that you read more about the Mobilized Humanities interventions in the links available at the end of this piece.It has been truly delightful to discuss Alex Gil’s projects and to consider how each of us – as students, researchers, and teachers – can work in the humanities to acquire new skills to produce change. The discussion around the place of the university amid this crisis, as an institution, is also one that deeply interests us. Finally, Gil is a prominent Aimé Césaire scholar. Discussing the work produced by this writer and thinker – at a moment when Discourse on Colonialism has just been released in a new Brazilian edition – also seems to be a crucial exercise to try to make sense of our questions – in a local and in a global scale – with a critical eye. We are thankful to Dr. Alex Gil for taking the time to talk to us amid the 2020 chaos as well as for the thought-provoking insights he has brought to us, which we now proudly share with Palimpsesto's readers.
<p>Este artigo busca apontar os problemas da predomin�ncia de uma abordagem biogr�fica-historicista na recep��o da poesia de Emily Dickinson por leitores, jornalistas e cr�ticos liter�rios. O fato de a obra da poeta j� ter sido anunciada por seus editores e resenhistas originais (Cf. THE NEW YORK TIMES, 1894) como uma ilustra��o das inclina��es e tra�os de personalidade da autora engessou a apreens�o de uma obra po�tica extensa, complexa e heterog�nea. A investiga��o centrada na inten��o da autora estreita as possibilidades de an�lise da estrutura, sintaxe e conte�do sem�ntico de cada poema. Neste sentido, este trabalho objetiva expor alguns dos principais problemas gerados pela recep��o da obra de Dickinson a partir de uma perspectiva hist�rica-biogr�fica fundada nos moldes preconizados por Charles Sainte-Beuve em �Sobre o meu m�todo�<em> </em>(1862). A fim de argumentar a favor dos benef�cios da leitura da obra de Dickinson a partir de uma perspectiva predominantemente formalista, apresentaremos um breve panorama de estudos onde a obra da artista foi condicionada pelo entendimento que seus leitores e cr�ticos faziam da sua biografia, expondo falhas decorrentes deste procedimento e as vantagens de uma abordagem cr�tica que se engaje com a materialidade do texto. Defenderemos, por conseguinte, uma leitura dos poemas que n�o tome dados biogr�ficos da poeta como ponto de partida. Entendemos ser mais interessante observar como a poesia de Dickinson se insere na tradi��o liter�ria angl�fona dialogando com obras que a influenciaram n�o apenas no n�vel sem�ntico e tem�tico, mas na estrutura m�trica e r�tmica.</p>
Elisa Kay Sparks, Professor Emerita of English at Clemson University, has established a career that is a source of inspiration to any scholar in the Humanities. Having taught Literature and Women’s Studies for 35 years at Clemson, she is part of the history of entire generations of students. Furthermore, Professor Sparks's research interests and practices put her at an ideal standpoint to discuss the “connections and innovations” element of this number's theme. She is an international reference in Virginia Woolf and Modernist Studies and one of the Virginia Woolf International Society’s main collaborators. Throughout the years, she has established an impressive body of critical work investigating parks, gardens, and flowers in Woolf’s life and writing. She has also drawn innovative connections between the works of the modernist writer and those of the American painter Georgia O’Keeffe. Taking in the stature of Professor Sparks’s contributions to Woolf Studies specifically and to the Humanities in a broader sense allows us to fully appreciate the reach of her views on the importance of sharing knowledge. For, beyond the fact that Professor Sparks is a prolific researcher, she is a truly generous one. Throughout the years, she has authored numerous blogs sharing her findings with readers and researchers entirely for free. In this interview, it becomes clear that, allied with the rigour of her academic production and her extraordinary career as a teacher, this impulse towards making knowledge and critical thinking as widely available as possible makes Professor Sparks a model of academic practice we should all aspire to.
