The theoretical foundation is based on studies by researchers in Critical Applied Linguistics, such as (Pennycook, 2001; Moita Lopes, 2006), as well as on authors in Critical Language Education, such as (Ferraz, 2018; Jacomini, 2024), Language Education with children with ASD (Ferreira, 2021), Language Education with children (Malta, 2019; Merlo, 2018; Tonelli, 2023), Language Education in/with Childhood (Tonelli; Selbach; Kawachi Furlan, Bailer, 2025), Alterity, Sensitivity and Ethics (Egido, 2022, 2024; Todd, 2014, 2016), among others. Its general objective is to identify constituent elements that may lead to a Critical Language Education in the context of English Language Education in Childhood. In order to achieve this purpose, two specific objectives were established: (i) to identify elements that promote Critical Language Education from the teacher’s perspective; and (ii) to identify elements that promote Critical Language Education from the family’s perspective. The guiding questions of this research are: 1 - Which elements promote Critical Language Education from the teacher’s perspective?; 2 - Which elements promote Critical Language Education from the family’s perspective? For the development of this research, we adopted a qualitative-interpretivist approach with an ethnographic orientation. As instruments for the generation of empirical material, we used semi-structured interviews and observations conducted in the context of the English language classroom. The participants in the study were an English language teacher, the mother of an autistic student, the student himself, and the researcher. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the investigation was developed based on the methodological procedures of Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Analysis, as outlined by (Reis, 2015, 2018; Capellini-Petreche, 2020). Among the results of the analyses, it was identified that aspects of Critical Language Education grounded in affectivity can contribute to breaking barriers frequently faced by students with ASD in the process of learning the English language, which are crossed by the particularities inherent to the child’s development. The research showed that a Critical Language Education supported by alterity, subjectivity and sensitivity can transform the ways in which subjects exercise their agency and construct perceptions about themselves and about others, favoring the strengthening of subjectivities and the development of alterity in the classroom context. In this way, this research indicates that there is hope and possibility of “bringing colors” to Critical Language Education, contributing to the construction of more human, sensitive and inclusive meanings for language.

The choice of this textbook is justified by the political and economic context of Brazil in the years 2000-2010, a period in which the government sought to project a specific image of the country and its identity on the international stage (Moreira, 2018). The main objective of this work is to analyze how this subject is enunciated (Foucault, 2008a), and the power mechanisms that permeate its possibility of emergence. The theoretical foundation is based on Michel Foucault's archeogenealogy, articulating archaeology – to unveil the conditions of emergence of this subject – and genealogy – to trace the power relations that sustain its constitution and permanence. From a methodological point of view, we selected a corpus composed of 11 statements that make up the New Avenida Brasil 1, present, respectively, in lesson 1, in the exercise book, in lesson 6, lesson 5, and lesson 6, which form three enunciative series (Foucault, 2008a) representative of the discursive constitution of the Brazilian working subject. These series construct an archive divided into three axes: the high-income Brazilian working subject, the low-income Brazilian working subject, and the silenced workers. The results show that the Brazilian subject is enunciated above all as a young, skilled, privileged, and white worker, reflecting and reinforcing discursive strategies aligned with the Brazilian political project of that historical moment.

This analysis will be comparative, and we will begin by defining what musical theater is and understanding the relevance of studying this literary genre. We will then examine the presence of the Destroyer archetype, defined by Carol Pearson in her work The Hero's Journey, and influenced by Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes and the collective unconscious, by reading the original texts of the chosen shows. Our overall objective is to understand the influence of these characters on the perception of Latin American identity according to archetypes that constitute pejorative and derogatory traits of this identity. Our specific objectives are: To establish a comparison between the characters analyzed in each work; To analyze negative and positive cultural impacts based on the representations observed and reflect on the repercussions of these characters on Latin culture. Other authors will provide theoretical support for this work, such as Leopoldo Zea, Stuart Hall, Rosalía Ines Lenguitti, etc. Instituição: Universidade Federal do Maranhão Tipo do documento: Dissertação 2026-03-27T00:00:00Z https://tedebc.ufma.br/jspui/handle/tede/6983 Título: Da matraca à pamonha: glossário terminológico do milho no Maranhão Autor: FERREIRA, Laize Oliveira Primeiro orientador: SANTOS, Georgiana Márcia Oliveira Abstract: Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo producir un glosario terminológico del cultivo de maíz en Maranhão, dada la gran importancia de este alimento para la humanidad, especialmente para Brasil y Maranhão, un estado que destaca en el mercado agrícola. Además, en la investigación realizada sobre el tema, no se encontraron estudios terminológicos publicados sobre el maíz en Brasil. Como marco teórico y metodológico, adoptamos los principios y fundamentos de la Teoría Comunicativa de la Terminología (TCT) desarrollada principalmente por Cabré (1998, 1999, 2002, 2005), pero también consideramos las contribuciones de Krieger (2001, 2004, 2006, 2010) y Martins y Martins (2019). Para construir el corpus, se realizó una encuesta de veinte documentos electrónicos escritos, incluyendo trabajos académicos y un documento técnico publicado por la empresa agroextractiva EMBRAPA, que tratan sobre el cultivo de maíz en Maranhão. Sin embargo, el corpus de esta investigación también incluyó veinticinco videos disponibles en YouTube y TikTok, los cuales fueron sometidos a criterios de selección para identificar y recopilar la terminología del maíz tal como se percibe en el habla de los agricultores de la región. Así, se obtuvieron datos escritos y orales, que suman 45 fuentes de investigación publicadas entre 2015 y 2025. Los términos fueron seleccionados mediante el software Antconc y se refieren principalmente a las etapas de siembra y manejo, y cosecha, que incluyen subáreas conceptuales, así como a los campos de poscosecha, plagas, enfermedades y comercialización. Para la recopilación de datos, se consideraron criterios como la representatividad, la frecuencia de uso y la especificidad del término en el ámbito del maíz (ya que existen términos que se refieren a otros cultivos). Cabe destacar que este glosario, compuesto por 116 términos, presenta una parte significativa de la terminología relacionada con el maíz en Maranhão, y esperamos que este estudio contribuya a la difusión del conocimiento terminológico y cultural del grano desarrollado en Maranhão y a la ampliación del glosario aquí presentado.
