(UEL 2018 - 2a fase) Leia o texto a seguir. Looking back over recent sci-fi/fantasy movies, theres a curious pattern starting to emerge. Think back to Guardians of the Galaxy. There, the heroine of the piece was a green-skinned female alien named Gamora, who also had a romantic relationship with the white male hero. Gamora was played by Zoe Saldana, an actor of Caribbean and African descent. Then there was Avatar, where the heroine was a blue-skinned female alien, again played by Zoe Saldana. She also had a romantic relationship with the white male hero. Now think back to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Remember Lupita Nyongo was in it? Probably not, as you only heard her voice. She was Maz Kanata, a wizened, shrivelled little alien creature. Nyongo, who is of Kenyan ancestry, has been one of the breakout stars of the decade. Since she won her Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, she has been showered with modelling contracts, red-carpet invites and accolades (she was People magazines most beautiful woman of 2014, for example). Star Wars took the most beautiful woman in the world and basically made her the Yoda of the piece. Nyongo is currently working on a new sci-fi movie called Intelligent Life. The plot summary reads: An employee at a department of the United Nations that monitors outer space inadvertently makes contact with a beautiful woman, who may be an alien. Nyongo is the alien, of course. Its a safe bet the UN employee will be a white guy. You could look at this situation in a number of ways. The first is that women of colour are being cast as aliens by an unthinking industry that still equates not white with exotic. That theory doesnt make sense with a movie such as Avatar, where the other blue-skinned aliens were also played by not-white actors). Or could it be that, in the 21st-century moviescape, theres still some problem with black women of reproductive age? Especially if theyre getting together with white men? Is that whats this is really about? (Adaptado de: ROSE, S. When it comes to interracial romances the movies need to catch up. The Guardian (online).

Leia o texto a seguir. Hello Lego! Please make this the last Christmas disabled kids are culturally excluded from your much-loved products. Think outside the brick box. Mix it up a bit! Add some brawn, stamina, a few sweat bands, couple of half pipes and some lightning fast wheelchairs. Oh Lego, where are your basket balling wheelsters? Baseball playing Duplo folk with hearing aids? White cane using Lego Friends off to the gym? In fact, where is your positive disability representation at all? There are 150 million children with disabilities worldwide. Yet these kids are arriving into a world where, even before theyve left their mums laps, theyre excluded or misrepresented by the very industry that exists to create their entertainment, the objects that fuel their development, the starting blocks of life: Toys! What are you saying to these children with disabilities and their peers by excluding them? Your little plastic bricks and mini figures are loved the world over, we love them too. Please, Lego, put some wheelchair vroom vroom into the toy box and help generations of kids, (both with and without disabilities), grow up with a more positive attitude to human difference! Weve made this skate park wheelchair free-styling set to give you some ideas and as an offering of friendship. We would love to see you make it for real! Youd make a lot of people very happy, youd make a lot of kids feel very included and if you say YES we pinky promise to organise a giant conga up and down the aisles of Toys R Us just to show you how much we love you!

TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 3 QUESTÕES: Leia o texto a seguir e responda à(s) questão(ões). Angelina Jolies cancer decision highlights row over genetic technology Concerns that firms rights to hold patents on genes linked to breast cancer is increasing cost of testing for disease Before the end of next month the US supreme court will issue a landmark decision in a case brought against the biotech firm Myriad Genetics, which is based in Utah, by the Association for Molecular Pathology. The firm owns a patent on the BRCA1 gene, which Jolie carries and which is believed to carry a high risk of causing breast cancer. It also owns a patent on the similar BRCA2 gene. It means that Myriad has the exclusive right to develop diagnostic tests for those genes a fact that has implications for other firms, who thus might be prevented from developing innovations in the field. It also has some serious money business implications: in the wake of Jolies announcement, Myriads share price increased. That has worried some commentators. In a New York Times column describing her decision, Jolie recognised she was lucky to be rich enough to easily afford to take the test for the culpable genes. Some have complained that the long court battle over Myriads patents has kept the price of the tests too high and have asked whether patents actually sacrifice patients interests in favour of protecting corporate profits. How many more women and men might have been able over the past four years to afford BRCA1 or BRCA2 testing in the absence of those protective patents? wrote Andrew Cohen in Atlantic magazine. The issue of patents and genetic technology is one of growing importance as a flood of companies enter the booming sector and scientific advances permit more and more advanced genetic manipulation. So far the supreme court has shown a disposition to associate with big business. Earlier this month it ruled in favour of agricultural firm Monsanto in defence of a patent it holds on soy beans that dominate the US farming sector.

Brazil judicial decision paves way for gay marriage The authorities in Brazil have ruled that marriage licences should not be denied to same-sex couples. The council that oversees the countrys judiciary said it was wrong for some offices just to issue civil union documents when the couple wanted full marriage certificates. Correspondents say the decision in effect authorises gay marriage. However full legalization depends on approval of a bill being examined by the Congress. Tuesdays resolution by Brazils National Council of Justice was based on a 2011 Supreme Court ruling that recognised same-sex civil unions. Notary publics were not legally bound to converting such unions into marriages when asked by gay couples. This led to some being denied marriage certificates at certain places, but being granted the document at others. That would be illegal, according to the new resolution. If a notary public officer rejects a gay marriage, he could eventually face disciplinary sanctions, NCJ judge Guilherme Calmon told BBC Brasil. The ruling brings Brazil one step closer to its neighbours Argentina and Uruguay, which have legalised gay marriages. But opponents could still challenge it at the Supreme Court. And the same-sex marriage bill being examined by the Congress faces strong opposition from religious and conservative lawmakers. Brazil is the worlds most populous Roman Catholic nation and has an estimated 60,000 gay couples. (BBC World News. Disponível em: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-22534552.

(UEL - 2012) The New York Times Phonetic Clues Hint Language is Africa-Born A researcher analyzing the sounds in languages spoken around the world has detected an ancient signal that points to southern Africa as the place where modern human language originated. The finding fits well with the evidence from fossil skulls and DNA that modern humans originated in Africa. It also implies, though does not prove, that modern language originated only once, an issue of considerable controversy among linguists. The detection of such an ancient signal in language is surprising. Because words change so rapidly, many linguists think that family, which includes English, goes back 9,000 years at most. Quentin D. Atkinson, a biologist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, has shattered this time barrier, if his claim is correct, by looking not at words but as phonemes the consonants, vowels and tone that are the simplest elements of language. Dr. Atkinson has found a simple but striking pattern in some 500 languages spoken throughout the world: a language area uses fewer phonemes the farther that early humans had to travel from Africa to reach it.
