DIGITAL LITERACY
The concept of digital literacy, as the term is now generally used, was introduced
by Paul Gilster, in his 1997 book of the same name. The term itself had been used
during the previous decade, though with a more restricted meaning – the ability
to deal with hypertextual information. Gilster’s idea was much broader, and did
not involve the enumeration of lists of particular skills, competences or attitudes
defining what it is to be digitally literate. Rather, he explained the concept quite
generally, as an ability to understand and to use information from a variety of digital
sources, and regarded it simply as literacy in the digital age. It is therefore the
current form of the traditional idea of literacy per se; the ability to read, write and
otherwise deal with information using the technologies and formats of the time. In an
‘information society’ and a ‘knowledge economy’, it is plainly an essential life skill.
This generic expression of the idea, although it has irritated some commentators, is
one of the strengths of Gilster’s concept, allowing it to be applied without concern
for the sometimes restrictive ‘competence lists’ which have afflicted some other
descriptions of the literacies of information.

De acordo com o texto, o conceito de letramento digital introduzido por Paul Gilster é
a) explicitado a partir de listas de habilidades, competências e atitudes específicas, embora
estas sejam consideradas restritivas pelo autor.
b) uma contraposição à ideia tradicional de letramento, a qual não leva em consideração o uso
de tecnologias contemporâneas no acesso à informação.
c) um termo genérico que se refere à habilidade de se compreender e usar a informação
veiculada por diferentes fontes digitais.
d) usado esporadicamente, nos dias atuais, por alguns autores, com o sentido de favorecer a
habilidade em se lidar com informação hipertextual.
2
Considerando-se os aspectos estruturais do texto,
a) a sentença The term itself had been used during the previous decade, na voz ativa, seria:
“They have been using the term itself during the previous decade”.
b) na sentença he explained the concept quite generally, o termo quite é empregado com o
sentido equivalente ao termo “quase”.
c) na sequência although it has irritated some commentators, o termo em destaque expressa
concordância com a ideia que será expressa posteriormente.
d) o oposto da afirmação presente na sentença Gilster’s idea was much broader seria: “Gilster’s
idea was much narrower”.

Slavoj Žižek: the world’s hippest philosopher
Slavoj Žižek has got an opinion on every subject from decaffeinated coffee to
sex, from seagulls and swearing to the end of the world. He talks to Helen Brown.
Žižek dismisses those who dub him “The Elvis of Philosophy” with a brisk: “To
the gulag! All of them!”. “It is too traumatic for me to see myself. Whenever I see
such a thing, my reaction is to ask: ‘Would a woman allow me to take her daughter
to the cinema?’ My God! Of course not! I don’t want to deal with myself. I don’t
want to exist. I just want to think.”
But whether he wanted to or not, Slavoj Žižek came into independent existence in
March 1949, in the then-Yugoslav republic of Slovenia. His father was an economist
and civil servant and his mother was an accountant.
“My life is straightforward,” he says. “Nothing happened. At 15, I wanted to be
a movie director. But I saw some really good European films and I accepted that I
couldn’t do that. Then, at 17, I decided to become a philosopher.”

Potatoes Can Reduce Blood Pressure
Just a couple of servings of potato a day can reduce blood pressure in obese
or overweight people with high blood pressure, calling into question the lowly
spud’s current reputation as a fattening, unhealthy food, according to new research
presented at a conference in Denver, Colorado, USA, on Wednesday.
“The potato, more than perhaps any other vegetable, has an undeserved bad
reputation that has led many healthconscious people to ban them from their diet,
“said Dr Joe Vinson, a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University
of Scranton in Pennsylvania, who led the research that was presented at the 242nd
National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
But before you go out and order French fries, the preferred way of eating this
most consumed of all vegetables in the US, consider this: the research was done
with purple potatoes cooked in the microwave oven, with no oil or fat whatsoever.

“The secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories
are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter
anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don’t deceive you with thrills and trick
endings. They don’t surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the
house you live in. Or the smell of your lover’s skin. You know how they end, yet you
listen as though you don’t. In the way that although you know that one day you will
die, you live as though you won’t. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who
dies, who finds love, who doesn’t. And yet you want to know again. THAT is their
mystery and magic.”

Gaddafi vows: ‘we won’t surrender again; we are not women’
A defiant Muammar Gaddafi vowed to fight to the end against Libya’s new
government and its Nato backers, warning that his forces would turn the country
“into a hell” rather than surrender like “women”.
[...]
“We will fight in every valley, in every street, in every oasis, and every town,” he
said. “We won’t surrender again; we are not women; we will keep fighting,” he said,
referring to loyal tribes in the towns of Sirte and Bani Walid.

Johannes Vermeer. Girl with a Pearl Earring, 1665,
oil on canvas, 44,5 cm × 39 cm,
Mauritshuis, the Hague, the Netherlands.
Jan or Johannes Vermeer van Delft (1632–1675), a Dutch genre painter who
lived and worked in Delft all his life, created some of the most exquisite paintings in
Western art.
His works are rare. Of the 35 or 36 paintings generally attributed to him, most
portray figures in interiors. All his works are admired for the sensitivity with which
he rendered effects of light and color and for the poetic quality of his images. He
produced meticulously constructed interiors with just one or two figures — usually
women. These are intimate genre paintings in which the principal figure is invariably
engaged in some everyday activity. Often the light enters Vermeer’s paintings from
a window. He was a master at depicting the way light illuminates objects.
During the late 1650s, Vermeer began to place a new emphasis on depicting
figures within carefully composed interior spaces. Other Dutch painters painted
similar scenes, but they were less concerned with the articulation of the space than
with the description of the figures and their actions.
Little is known for certain about Vermeer’s life and career. Not much is known
about Vermeer’s apprenticeship as an artist either. After his death, Vermeer was
overlooked by all but the most discriminating collectors and art historians for more
than 200 years. His few pictures were attributed to other artists. Only after 1866,
when the French critic W. Thore-Burger ‘rediscovered’ him, did Vermeer’s works
become widely known and his works heralded as genuine Vermeer.

Interview with Tracy Chevalier — author of Girl with a Pearl Earring
— What inspired you to write about the girl in Vermeer’s painting?
— I have had a copy of that painting for a long time. I love it because it is
so beautiful and mysterious. The expression on the girl’s face is ambiguous —
sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes innocent, sometimes seductive. I
was always curious about what she was thinking, and one day I thought there must
be a story behind her look, but we don’t know who the model for the painting was,
so I realized I would have to make up the story myself.
— Why did you make the girl a servant? Did Griet really exist?
— In the painting the girl’s clothes are very plain compared to other women’s
Vermeer painted, and yet the pearl is clearly luxurious. I was fascinated by that
contrast, and it seemed clear to me that the pearl was not hers. However, I also
felt she knew Vermeer well, as her gaze is very direct and knowing. So I thought,
who would be close to him but not related? And I thought of a servant. Griet did not
exist. We don’t know who the girl in the painting is, nor any of the other models for
Vermeer’s works.
— Why do you think there is such a big interest in Vermeer these days? Why do
people like his paintings so much?
— I think people like Vermeer because he reflects our everyday lives, yet makes
them more beautiful and more ideal. He paints a whole world in a little corner of a
room. The paintings are beautiful and simple and yet complicated too, with lingering
depths and understated meanings. They are very calm paintings, and you’re forced
to slow down when you look at them. In this noisy, frenetic world, that tranquility
can be quite seductive.

Judge the items that follow according to the text above.
11 The writer likes the fact that Vermeer’s paintings force her to face daily reality.
12 The scenery in Vermeer’s paintings is usually intimate.
13 Vermeer’s works are very modern descriptions of contemporary urban life.
14 Tracy Chevalier got the idea to write the book as soon as she received a copy of the painting
as a birthday present.
15 The writer felt intrigued by the girl in the painting.
16 Tracy Chevalier had to imagine who the girl in the painting was because there was no
information available about her.
17 One of the reasons for Tracy Chevalier to suppose that the girl was a servant is the fact that
her clothes looked a little too ordinary.
18 The writer supposes the pearl earrings were a present, because the girl could not have
possibly bought them.
19 Griet was the name of one of Vermeer’s daughters.
20 The models for other Vermeer’s paintings were known, unlike that who posed for Girl with a
Pearl Earring.

Girl with a Pearl Earring is a quiet movie about things not said, opportunities
not taken, potentials not realized, lips unkissed. All of these elements are guessed
at by the filmmakers as they regard a painting made in about 1665 by Johannes
Vermeer. The painting shows a young woman looking at us over her left shoulder.
She wears a simple blue headband, a modest smock and a pearl earring. Her red
lips are slightly parted. Is she smiling?
Not much is known about Vermeer, who left about 35 paintings. Nothing is known
about his model. You can hear that it was his daughter, a neighbor, a tradeswoman,
but not his lover, because Vermeer’s household was under the iron rule of his
mother-in-law, who was vigilant as a hawk. The painting has become as intriguing
in its modest way as the Mona Lisa. The girl’s face turned toward us from centuries
ago demands that we ask, “Who was she? What was she thinking? What was the
artist thinking about her?”

Tracy Chevalier’s novel speculating about the painting has now been filmed by
Peter Webber, who cast Scarlett Johansson as the girl and Colin Firth as Vermeer.
The girl’s name is Griet, according to this story. She lives nearby and is sent by her
blind father to work in Vermeer’s house.
Roger Ebert. Review of girl with a pearl earring. Internet: <www.rogerebert.suntimes.com> (adapted).
Judge the items that follow according to the text above.
21 In the writer’s opinion, the girl’s facial expression is ironic.
22 In the sentence “You can hear that it was his daughter” (l.8), “it” can correctly be replaced
with she.
23 It is likely that Vermeer’s mother-in-law met the girl shown in the painting.
24 In the text, the word “iron” (l.9) can correctly be replaced with strict.
25 The painting is compared to the Mona Lisa because of the mystery which involves it.
26 The movie answers the questions raised by the painting.
27 Griet’s father did not realize that she was in love with Vermeer.
28 The filmmakers had more information than Tracy Chevalier about the girl in the painting.
29 The text contains many details about the girl’s clothes.
Why is Girl with a Pearl Earring Vermeer’s best-loved painting? It must have
something to do with the fact that the girl looks over her shoulder, as though
hoping to see who is standing behind her. Equally important, though, is the subtle
rendering of light effects. The pearl is very special, consisting of little more than two
brushstrokes. Then there is the girl herself, wide-eyed, her lips slightly parted. She
makes an uninhibited, somewhat expectant impression that excites our interest,
even though we have no idea who she is.
