This book, written against the backdrop of the internationalization of Brazilian Portuguese, studies the cultural and ideological aspects that foster the "submissive" stereotype attributed to the female gender and lexicalized in Brazil by the word "am lia." The use of this Brazilian cultural word (a word added to the Brazilian Portuguese vocabulary to designate a submissive woman) in 120 materials (including weblogs, chronicles, Internet communities, essays, testimonials) supported the discovery of these cultural traits and the content linked to this word and, consequently, the ideological and cultural negotiation that is strongly established from it. The linguistic complexity of "am lia," its semantic load, and its degree of social representativeness in female identity groups awaken us to try to understand a little more about the society that projects ideological avatars in and from its language.
Książka ta, napisana w kontekście internacjonalizacji języka portugalskiego w Brazylii, analizuje aspekty kulturowe i ideologiczne, kt re sprzyjają stereotypowi "uleglości" przypisywanemu kobietom i wyrażanemu w Brazylii slowem "am lia". Użycie tego brazylijskiego slowa kulturowego (slowa wlączonego do slownictwa języka portugalskiego w Brazylii w celu określenia kobiety uleglej) w 120 materialach (w tym blogach, kronikach, spolecznościach internetowych, wypracowaniach, zeznań) pomoglo w odkryciu tych cech kulturowych i treści związanych z tym slowem, a co za tym idzie, ideologicznej i kulturowej negocjacji, kt ra silnie się z nim wiąże. Zlożonośc językowa slowa "am lia", jego ladunek semantyczny i stopień reprezentatywności spolecznej w grupach tożsamościowych kobiet sklania nas do podjęcia pr by nieco glębszego zrozumienia spoleczeństwa, kt re projektuje ideologiczne awatary w swoim języku i na jego podstawie.
Questo libro, scritto sullo sfondo dell'internazionalizzazione del portoghese brasiliano, studia gli aspetti culturali e ideologici che alimentano lo stereotipo "sottomesso" attribuito al genere femminile e lexicalizzato, in Brasile, dalla parola "am lia". L'uso di questa parola culturale brasiliana (parola inserita nel vocabolario del portoghese brasiliano per designare una donna sottomessa) in 120 articoli (tra blog, cronache, comunit Internet, saggi, testimonianze) ha contribuito all'incontro di questi tratti culturali e del contenuto legato a questo vocabolo e, di conseguenza, alla negoziazione ideologica e culturale che si stabilisce fortemente a partire da esso. La complessit linguistica di "am lia", il suo carico semantico e il suo grado di rappresentativit sociale nei gruppi identitari femminili, ci spinge a cercare di comprendere un po' di pi anche la societ che proietta avatar ideologici nella sua lingua e a partire da essa.

Dr. Horton is out of the office, and Amelia Bedelia is ready to help with a crowd of grouchy patients--and doses out some of her own special treatment. Full color.
Radcliffe Emerson, the irascible husband of fellow archaeologist and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, has earned the nickname "Father of Curses"--and at Mazghunah he demonstrates why. Denied permission to dig at the pyramids of Dahshoor, he and Amelia are resigned to excavating mounds of rubble in the middle of nowhere. And there is nothing in the barren area worthy of their interest--until an antiquities dealer is murdered in his own shop. A second sighting of a sinister stranger from the crime scene, a mysterious scrap of papyrus, and a missing mummy case have all whetted Amelia's curiosity. But when the Emersons start digging for answers in an ancient tomb, events take a darker and deadlier turn--and there may be no surviving the very modern terrors their efforts reveal.
A richly woven tale of greed, treachery, intrigue, and murder in a breathtaking realm of ancient wonders and crumbling splendorA new year, 1917, is dawning, and the Great War that ravages the world shows no sign of abating. In these perilous times, archaeologist Amelia Peabody and her extended family must confront shocking dangers. But it is son Ramses who faces the most dire threat, answering a call that will carry him to the fabled seaport of Gaza on a mission as personal as it is perilous--where death will be the certain consequence of exposure. While far away, Ramses's beautiful wife, Nefret, guards a secret of her own. . . .
Egypt, 1912--Amelia Peabody and her dashing archeologist husband, Radcliffe Emerson, are once again in danger as they search for a priceless, stolen bust of legendary Queen Nefertiti and Amelia finds herself the target of assassins in this long-awaited, eagerly anticipated final installment of Elizabeth Peters' bestselling, beloved mystery series.Arriving in Cairo for another thrilling excavation season, Amelia is relaxing in a well-earned bubble bath in her elegant hotel suite in Cairo, when a man with knife protruding from his back staggers into the bath chamber and utters a single word--"Murder"--before collapsing on the tiled floor, dead. Among the few possessions he carried was a sheet of paper with Amelia's name and room number, and a curious piece of pasteboard the size of a calling card bearing one word: "Judas." Most peculiarly, the stranger was wearing a gold-rimmed monocle in his left eye. It quickly becomes apparent that someone saved Amelia from a would-be assassin--someone who is keeping a careful eye on the intrepid Englishwoman. Discovering a terse note clearly meant for Emerson--Where were you?"--pushed under their door, there can be only one answer: the brilliant master of disguise, Sethos. But neither assassins nor the Genius of Crime will deter Amelia as she and Emerson head to the excavation site at Amarna, where they will witness the discovery of one of the most precious Egyptian artifacts: the iconic Nefertiti bust. In 1345 B.C. the sculptor Thutmose crafted the piece in tribute to the great beauty of this queen who was also the chief consort of Pharaoh Akhenaten and stepmother to King Tutankhamun.For Amelia, this excavation season will prove to be unforgettable. Throughout her journey, a parade of men in monocles will die under suspicious circumstances, fascinating new relics will be unearthed, a diabolical mystery will be solved, and a brilliant criminal will offer his final challenge . . . and perhaps be unmasked at last.
