- Noticiero ICAIC: um olhar cubano experimental e performático sobre as ditaduras latino-americanasPublication . Arêas, Camila CabralOs arquivos do cinejornal Noticiero ICAIC latino-americano reemergem hoje no espaço público, revelando um ponto de vista cubano sobre os golpes militares na América Latina. Dentro de uma abordagem semiótica, o artigo analisa a transformação da narrativa fílmica cubana a partir dos golpes de Estado latino-americanos e interroga a dimensão performativa da linguagem experimental que constitui a marca estética do Noticiero.

- Would you experience me?: art as a means of communionPublication . Matoso, AnaAfter more than 15 years reflecting on artistic practice, Lev Tolstoy finally finished his polemic treatise What is Art? (1897). Since its publication, the theory of art expounded in this work has been either subsumed under the general name of ‘expression theory’ or rejected for the extreme consequences of its arguments (i.e. the dismissal of almost all of the Western artistic canon). However, despite the question in its title, What is Art? is notoriously amiss in providing any (objective) definition of art. Its author is more interested in disputing the validity of any ‘science of beauty’, i.e., Aesthetics, in order to put forward a new approach to art. In the author’s words: ‘Art, all art, has in itself the property of uniting people. All art causes those who perceive the feeling conveyed by the artist to unite in soul, first with the artist, and secondly with all who have received the same impression’ (Tolstoy: 120-129). In the framework of What is Art?, art – intentional communication through feeling and emotions – becomes a means of communion among people. In the broad sense of ‘art’ employed in this work, this ‘affective’ category can accommodate not only works of architecture, poetry, folk tales, drama, music, but also jokes, riddles, rhymes, sermons, processions and church services. It is in the inherent pervasiveness of artistic communication that Tolstoy finds a crucial argument against Plato’s verdict, in his Republic, that the artist is persona non grata in the city. This paper will focus on the specificity of the process of communicating through art as described in What is Art? and will argue that in its invitation to share a community of feeling, art becomes a project of experienced values, of conviviality. Tolstoy’s description of art, it turns out, is unexpectedly modern.
- Reducing meat consumption and following plant-based diets: current evidence and future directions to inform integrated transitionsPublication . Graça, João; Godinho, Cristina A.; Truninger, MonicaBackground: There is increasing consensus that transitioning towards reduced meat consumption and more plant-based diets is a key feature to address important health and sustainability challenges. However, relevant evidence that may inform these transitions remains fragmented with no overarching rationale or theoretical framework, which limits the ability to design and deliver coordinated efforts to address these challenges. Scope and approach: Eleven databases were systematically searched using sets of keywords referring meat curtailment, meat substitution and plant-based diets, as well as consumer choice, appraisal or behavior (2602 articles selected for title and abstract screening; 161 full-texts assessed for eligibility; 110 articles selected for extraction and coding). Barriers and enablers were identified and integrated into an overarching framework (i.e., COM-B system), which conceptualizes behavior as being influenced by three broad components: capability, opportunity and motivation. Key findings and conclusions: This review mapped potential barriers and enablers in terms of capability, opportunity, and motivation to reduce meat consumption and follow more plant-based diets. These included lack of information for consumers and difficulty to acquire new cooking skills (barrier, capability), changes in service provision in collective meal contexts (enabler, opportunity), and positive taste expectations for plant-based meals (enabler, motivation). Evidence on variables referring to the motivation domain is clearly increasing, but there is a striking need for studies that include capability and opportunity variables as well. The results of this review are relevant to a variety of fields and audiences interested in promoting sustainable living and health improvements through dietary choice.

- Gramática, cognição e sociedade: para uma gramática de significados, usos e variaçõesPublication . Silva, Augusto Soares daThis study aims to highlight the relationship between grammar, cognition and society, identifying cognitive and social processes applied to grammatical constructions in Portuguese and their correlations. First, we will characterize certain cognitive operations that play an important role in grammar and that make it an efficient conceptual structuring and communication system: construal (our ability to view, conceive and portray the same situation in alternate ways); objectivity vs. subjectivity (the construal of a scene as detached or not from the conceptualizer); prominence (the focusing of attention on some aspects of a situation); mental spaces (packages of encyclopedic knowledge built and evoked in the current discourse); and inferences about the speaker’s intended meanings. Then, we will show how these cognitive operations (which are common to language and other cognitive faculties, such as perception, attention, and memory) are configured and conditioned by sociocultural factors and communicative efficiency processes – hence the importance of intersubjectivity and cultural conceptualization, and the need for systematically including intralinguistic variation in grammar. The answer to the question of the correlation between cognitive processes and social processes in grammar is based on the cognitive science notion of social cognition and on multivariate and sociocognitive grammar models. A usage-based grammar implies a deconstruction of the linguistic system in favor of a view of language in its inevitable variability as a complex dynamic system and the construction of a multifactorial grammar model that may adequately unravel, through multivariate quantitative methods, the interplay between conceptual, structural and social factors. Finally, we will illustrate these principles of a grammar of meanings, uses and variations (in contrast with traditional perspective of a grammar of forms, structures and rules) with three studies on constructional variation in Portuguese. They are part of our sociocognitive and sociolectometrical research into convergence and divergence between European and Brazilian Portuguese: se constructions (reflexive, reciprocal, middle, anticausative, passive, impersonal) and the null se constructions; prepositional relative constructions and their chopping and resumptive counterparts; and the alternation between inflected and uninflected infinitival constructions.

- Sobre a «grandeza» americana: o legado de Woodrow Wilson e a urgência de um novo internacionalismoPublication . Dias, MónicaMuito se tem falado nos últimos anos sobre a «grandeza» americana, invocada em nome de um novo nacionalismo, virado contra o tempo e conta o mundo. Contudo, essa invocação parece fundada num enorme equívoco, pois muita da «grandeza» americana deriva precisamente do seu internacionalismo liberal que se consagrou há cem anos e que marcou todo um «século americano». No artigo que aqui apresentamos veremos que a grande prosperidade americana que caracterizou o século passado se fundou na capacidade de projeção dos valores americanos, afirmados não como narrativa imperial e exclusiva, mas como desafio liberal e partilhado rumo a uma ordem internacional guiada por conceitos como a autodeterminação, a segurança coletiva e leis transparentes válidos para todos os povos. A partir da visão internacionalista e institucionalista do Presidente Woodrow Wilson, que entendia que só a pura ignorância poderia levar a imaginar o isolacionismo como porto seguro para os Estados Unidos, esclareceremos qual a origem do projeto para uma Sociedade das Nações e qual a sua absoluta razão de ser num mundo globalizado – tanto em 1919 como hoje.
