Urban mobility

To wrap up this special week, I would like to present you with a project for the urban mobility of our city, in Blumenau, Brazil. It was done by my beloved daughter Cecilia, as her final graduation project for the architecture school.

Estrangeirismo: stalker

Stalker é uma palavra inglesa que significa “perseguidor”. É aplicada a alguém que importuna de forma insistente e obsessiva uma outra pessoa que, em muitos casos, é uma celebridade. A perseguição persistente pode levar a ataques e agressões.

Com a Internet, a prática entrou para o campo virtual: o cyberstalking é praticado através de meios informáticos com qualquer pessoa que desperte o interesse do agressor.

A prática de espionar e perseguir alguém é denominada “stalking” (espreitar). O termo é usado desde a década de 1980 quando havia uma obstinada perseguição a celebridades.

Estrangeirismo é o processo que introduz palavras vindas de outros idiomas na língua portuguesa. De acordo com o idioma de origem, as palavras recebem nomes específicos, tais como anglicismo (do inglês), galicismo (do francês), etc. O estrangeirismo possui duas categorias:

1) Com aportuguesamento: a grafia e a pronúncia da palavra são adaptadas para o português. Exemplo: abajur (do francês “abat-jour”)
2) Sem aportuguesamento: conserva-se a forma original da palavra. Exemplo: mouse (do inglês “mouse”).

Dumb Ways to Die is an Australian public service announcement campaign by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to promote rail safety. The campaign video went viral through sharing and social media starting in November 2012. This is a parody.
