Abstract:
Este trabalho se propôs a analisar O Diabo Mesquinho (1892-1902), romance-chave de Fiódor Sologub (1863-1927), um dos expoentes do simbolismo russo. Além da importância incontestável da obra para a literatura russa e mundial, foi estímulo para a pesquisa a possibilidade de delinear o primeiro estudo acadêmico sobre o autor no Brasil. A análise seguiu duas direções, que continuamente se encontraram: a evidente tessitura paródica, e a presença de arquétipos míticos universais perpassados por elementos do folclore russo. Quanto ao uso da paródia, tendo como base teórica autores como Iuri Tyniánov e Mikhail Bakhtin, foram feitas aproximações de O Diabo Mesquinho com textos de Aleksándr Púchkin, Nikolai Gógol e Fiódor Dostoiévski, cujas marcas deflagradas são essenciais para o entendimento da estrutura da obra, assim como o narrador que, subvertendo a estética realista, organiza esses discursos. Com relação à incorporação de arquétipos literários, a qual ressalta a dimensão paródica e a contextura neomitológica, tal como conceituada por Zara Mints, foi desenvolvida uma análise do desdobramento do anti-herói Ardalión Peredonov, um trickster diabólico, no herói cultural mítico. Esse aprofundamento, embasado sobretudo em Eliazar Meletínski, desvelou a articulação que a narrativa faz entre as dualidades míticas mais estáveis (caos versus cosmos, próprio versus alheio), as construções de herói e de anti-herói, e os traços folclóricos e do demonismo popular. A convivência desses componentes conduz o enredo ao caos mítico junto da loucura progressiva de Peredonov. A breve contextualização do simbolismo russo, movimento que, apoiado na própria cultura e história, inaugurou novos rumos na arte e na filosofia russas, foi também fundamental para trabalhar com O Diabo Mesquinho, pois o romance consagra seus grandes mestres, sublinha seu contexto gerador e rompe paradigmas.
The research aims at analysing The Petty Demon (1892-1902), a key novel by Fiódor Sologub (1863-1927) who is one of the best known writers of the Russian symbolism. The importance of this novel is well established for Russian and world literature, and this research thesis was the first academic study on the author in Brazil. The analysis followed two main directions, which appear in intersection: first, the evident parodist structure of the text and second, the presence of universal mythic archetypes juxtaposed by elements of the Russian folklore, which inhabit the narration. Regarding the use of parody, drawing on Iuri Tyniánov and Mikhail Bakhtin, the analysis establish dialogues between The Petty Demon and texts by Aleksándr Púchkin, Nikolai Gógol and Fiódor Dostoiévski. These parodist dialogues are seen here as essential for the understanding of the structure of the text, as well as the narrator who organises these discourses subverting the realistic aesthetics. In relation to the incorporation of literary archetypes in the novel, highlighting the parodist dimension and the neomythologic structure, as conceptualised by Zara Mints, an analysis was developed on the history of the anti-hero Ardalión Peredonov, a diabolic trickster, as a cultural mythic hero. This in-depth analysis drawing on Eliazar Meletínski, unravelled the articulation between well established mythic dualities (chaos versus cosmos); the construction of the hero and anti-hero; and the folkloric characteristics and popular demonism. The relation between these components guides the story to the mythic chaos alongside the gradual madness of Peredonov. The brief contextualisation put forward in this research thesis of the Russian symbolism - a movement that based on its own culture and history launched new paths for Russian arts and philosophy - was fundamental to the analysis of The Petty Demon, as the novel established great masters in literature, highlighted its symbolist context and broke paradigms.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction: With the expansion of Christianity in the Roman Empire, a religious approach was taken to understand mental illness during the Middle Ages. Hypothesis: It is possible to elucidate the status of mental health in the Late Middle Ages through psychiatric interpretation of demonic possessions, holy fasting and death anxiety. Methods: A number of cases of exorcisms narrated in the hagiographies of Saints, several cases of women who practiced fasting have been analyzed, and the manuals that helped friars assist the dying during the late Middle Ages have been interpreted and analyzed. Results: In the study of demonic possessions we see traits of mental disorders compatible with mood, psychotic, dissociative, cognitive, personality disorders and neurological conditions. Women who practiced fasting show symptoms that resemble anorexia nervosa. Death anxiety was very common in the Late Middle Ages, manuals like Ars Moriendi helped friars assist the dying. Discussion: The risk of studying medieval behavior from a psychiatric perspective is to miss behaviors compatible with mental illness and to impose current psychiatric nosology on the past. However recent neuroscientific literature on mental illness and review of past literature supports the existence of mental illness throughout history. Conclusions: It is possible to elucidate the status of mental illness in the Late Middle Ages through the views of demonic possessions, holy fasting and death anxiety.
Resumen en Español Introducción: Con la expansión del Cristianismo en el Imperio Romano, la enfermedad mental, las teorías religiosas predominaron para explicar la enfermedad mental durante la Edad Media. Hipótesis: Es posible estudiar la salud mental en la Baja Edad Media a través del estudio de la posesión demoníaca, el santo ayuno y la ansiedad de la muerte. Métodos: Se han estudiado varios casos descritos en las hagiografías de los Santos, de mujeres que practicaban el ayuno por razones religiosas y los manuales que se empleaban para asistir a los moribundos. Resultados: En el estudio de la posesión demoníaca se intuyen rasgos de trastornos mentales de tipo psicótico, del ánimo, disociativos, cognitivos, de personalidad y neurológicos. Las mujeres que practicaban el ayuno religioso muestran rasgos parecidos a los de la anorexia nerviosa. La ansiedad de la muerte era muy común en la Baja Edad Media y manuales como el Ars Moriendi eran de utilidad para ayudar a los moribundos. Discusión: el riesgo de estudiar el comportamiento medieval desde una perspectiva psiquiátrica conlleva la posibilidad de imponer la nosología actual en el pasado y de que pasen desapercibidas conductas compatibles con la enfermedad mental. Con todo, los avances neurocientíficos sobre la enfermedad mental, y la revisión de literatura existente sugieren la existencia de la enfermedad mental a lo largo de la historia. Conclusiones: Es posible elucidar el estado de la enfermedad mental en la Baja Edad Media a través del estudio de las posesiones demoníacas, del ayuno y de la ansiedad de la muerte. Introduccion: Durante la Edad Media predominaban teorías religionsas o espirituales para explicar el comportamiento errático. Examinando las narrativas literarias de exorcismos se pueden hallar rasgos de tipo ansioso, depresivo, piscótico y de personalidad. Examinando las narrativas de Santos que practicaban el ayuno se hallan rasgos de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. La muerte prematura en la Edad Media era frecuente debido a epidemias como las peste negra entre otras. La ansiedad de la muerte en la población medieval generan una serie de manuales con el fin de ayudar a los frailes asistir a los moribundos. Las estrategias empleadas en estos manuales tienen paralelos con las técnicas que se usan hoy día para tratar la ansiedad de los pacientes con enfermedades terminales.

Abstract:
Artists creating images of demonic possession during the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation communicated theological messages by accentuating the most famous and dramatic exorcisms. This project proposes an interpretive structure, called cultural theatrics, for analyzing these works. Brian Levack’s theory of cultural performance provides the framework from which cultural theatrics develops. Levack’s cultural performance includes the demoniac and the exorcist as participants in religious dramas who act in a way that their religious communities expected them to act. However, this thesis proposes that images of possession and exorcism (rather than the historical events of alleged possession and exorcism themselves) are more appropriate subject matter for studying the theatricality of possession because artists held the interpretative leverage of conveying theological messages through depictions of exorcisms. This research shows how the artist, patron, and learned advisor mobilize cultural theatrics in images of demonic possession.

Abstract:
At Nordnes in Bergen there are a stone foundation supporting a plateau with buildings and an old fort. In the stone foundation, almost like a cave, there are a public urinal. As rain pours down, the mortar holding together the stones in the structures slowly dissolves into a flow of water. When the water flow passes the room of the urinal it gets exposed to heat from the air and sun which causes the water to evaporate and the minerals from the mortar to precipitate out in to stalactites. If left unattended this would eventually lay down the fort and the buildings in a ruin, and the empty space of the urinal would be filled by a mineral structure.

Abstract:
Though it is not certain to what extent Gogol was familiar with Dante, it appears he may have regarded Dead Souls I (1842) as the first part of a tripartite scheme in light of La Divina Commedia. Interestingly, the foundations for such a scheme can be found in Gogol's first major publication, Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka (1831-1832) and, in the prose fiction and plays of 1835-1836, a definite pattern is revealed. The pattern that evolved in the works of this period involves the emergence of a demonic element which shatters any illusion of a Paradise which may have been established previously. Consequently, one is then drawn down through the awakenings of conscience - Purgatory and, finally, to realization in the Inferno. The inversion of the Dante scheme which takes place, results in a "commedia del demonio". This "commedia" is particularly significant for both interpreting Gogol's works and for understanding the author himself. It forms a bridge between Gogol's early comic-gothic tales in Evenings and the mature style and humour of Dead Souls. Equally important is the fact that correlations with the literary devices and the religious thought of Dante's time can also be seen. Such works as "Old World Landowners" (Mirgorod, 1835), "Viy" (Mireorod, 1835), "Nevsky Prospekt" (Arabesques, 1835) and the play The Government Inspector (performed in 1836) are especially representative of Nikolai Gogol's "commedia del demonio", and therefore form an integral part to this study. In connection with these and other works, certain links concerning the literary and historical heritage, and personal spirituality which exist between Gogol and Dante as reflected in both their own life and works will be examined as well. Thus the "commedia" scheme, and ultimately, Gogol as a writer of the human "soul" may be better understood.

Brown, Alistair. "Demonic fictions : cybernetics and postmodernism." Thesis, Durham University, 2008. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/2465/.

Abstract:
Whilst demons are no longer viewed as literal beings, as a metaphor the demon continues to trail ideas about doubt and truth, simulation and reality, into post- Enlightenment culture. This metaphor has been revitalised in a contemporary period that has seen the dominance of the cybernetic paradigm. Cybernetics has produced technologies of simulation, whilst the posthuman (a hybrid construction of the self emerging from cultural theory and technology) perceives the world as part of a circuit of other informational systems. In this thesis, illustrative films and literary fictions posit a connection between cybernetic epistemologies and metaphors of demonic possession, and contextualise these against postmodern thought and its narrative modes. Demons mark a return to pre-Enlightenment models of knowledge, so that demonic (dis)simulation can be seen to describe our encounters with artificial others and virtual worlds that reflect an uncertainly constituted and unstable self. By juxtaposing Renaissance notions of the demon with Donna Haraway's posthuman "cyborg," psychoanalytic demons with the robots of the science fiction film Forbidden Planet (1956), and Descartes' "deceiving demon" with Alan Turing's artificial intelligence test, I propose that the demon proves a fluid, multivalent trope that crosses historical and disciplinary boundaries. The demon raises epistemological questions about the relationship between reality, human psychology, and the representation of both in other modes, particularly narrative fictions. When this framework is applied to seminal science fiction (2001: A Space Odyssey and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? [both 1968]), conventional readings of cyborgs as monstrous Others have to be revised. These fictions are engaged with cybernetic technologies with an epistemological rather than ontological concern, and consequently lend themselves to the kind of sceptical doubt about reality that characterises postmodern thought. Contrary to Descartes, who sees foundational truth through the deceptions of his "deceiving demon," later films like Blade Runner (1982) and The Matrix (1999) use the motif of cybernetic technologies to highlight the inescapability of the postmodern condition of the hyperreal. Finally, however, literary fictions like Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (1988) and A.S. Byatťs A Whistling Woman (2002) and Possession (1990) draw attention to their narrative mechanisms through metafiction, and set the creation of literary meaning against computer-generated texts. Consequently, they defy both the determinism of cybernetic sciences, and the postmodern pretence that the "real" is irrecoverably evasive.

Abstract:
The purpose of the current study is to present an interpretation of Eros and its demonical aspect as it is described in Plato’s dialogues Phaedrus and The Symposium as well as to attempt to throw some light over the question in which way the erotic as such influences Plato’s notion of how to pursue philosophy. In the first part of the essay an account is given of the Platonic Eros as a unifying element and as striving for being. I defend the position that in the context of the interpreted dialogues philosophy is thought of as an erotic enterprise which takes place as a coming closer to the object of love. This coming closer takes place as remembering in Phaedrus and as creating in beauty in The Symposium. Further I suggest that the creative activity in which the philosophical lover is involved lets a certain demonic time arise. In the second part of the study I change perspective and look at the erotic desire as a twofold process. In order to clarify the underlying dynamics in this process I introduce the concept of demonic appeal. The erotic desire takes place according to this twofold structure as a demonic appeal on the side of the beloved which gives rise to an erotic striving on the side of the lover. The lover is pulled towards the beloved which is perceived by the lover as something demonic, as the effect of a foreign commanding power over him. What pulls the lover towards itself is the beautiful and I argue that the beautiful is the way in which being appears to the philosophic lover. In the last part of this section I discuss the consequences of this way of appearing of being for Plato’s thinking. In the third and last part of this study I focus on mindfulness of one’s erotic desires as the necessary condition for initiation of philosophic life. I maintain that the purpose of mindfulness according to the dialogues is the attainment of freedom and a reflective stance in respect to one’s desires.

Abstract:
I dag påverkar populärkulturella medier som film och tv hur vi människor uppfattar verkligheten omkring oss. Företaget Walt Disney Company är ett ledande företag när det gäller film och underhållning för barn. Hur Disney framställer vad som är gott och vad som är ont påverkar hur barn, men även vuxna ser på dessa fenomen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur ondska framställs i tre olika Disneyfilmer. Filmerna som analyseras är Kejsarens nya stil, Prinsessan och grodan och Vaiana. Genom en kvalitativ analys undersöks framställningen av ondska i filmerna. Innehållet analyseras utifrån filosofen Lars Fr. H Svendsens filosofi där fyra typer av ondska presenteras. Av analysen framgår att den typ av ondska som framför allt framställs i filmerna är en instrumentell typ av ondska. De aktörer som utför onda handlingar i Disneyfilmerna har oftast därför motiv till handlingen som kommer leda till att de själva tjänar på att utföra den.

Abstract:
Demon possession and exorcism are major themes in the gospel of Mark. Since the Enlightenment, Mark's Western audience has often found them to difficult to interpret, especially in the case of possession itself. The author of Mark assumed that his audience would understand the idea of possession, an assumption that does not necessarily hold true for modern audiences. This study aims to provide some idea of what possession means in Mark. It proceeds with exegesis of Mark's possession pericopes and situates them within the context of ancient beliefs about demons and possession. Critical consideration of modern cross-disciplinary research related to possession is important in this task. So too is the history of modern interpretation and exegesis of Mark, which has offered insights as well as misapprehensions. The weight of evidence supports the conclusion that part of the spiritual importance of possession for Mark is its disorienting, frightening, and ultimately incomprehensible nature.

Esta dissertação propõe um estudo acerca da acentuação do controle dos corpos efetuado pelo regime farmacopornográfico (Paul B. Preciado) e sua produção de subjetividade, levando em conta a tensão entre as técnicas que compõem o que se habituou a chamar de humano e as invenções técnicas que se afastam do mesmo, das quais o bio-hackeamento e a intoxicação voluntária serão os exemplos analisados. Para isso, faz-se aqui um duplo movimento de investigação e experimentação dos conceitos de aliança intensiva (Deleuze e Guattari), ou alianças demoníacas (Viveiros de Castro), a partir de laços estratégicos possíveis entre os desumanizados pelo humanismo. Há também a proposição de uma alternativa ao humanismo levando adiante a provocação conceitual de Preciado de um animalismo por vir, em uma escrita especulativa que atravessa as obras de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Metafísicas Canibais) e Paul B.

For this, a double movement of investigation and experimentation of the concepts of intensive alliance (Deleuze and Guattari), or demonic alliance (Viveiros de Castro), possible strategic ties between the dehumanized by humanism, is necessary. There is also the proposition of an alternative to humanism taking forward the conceptual provocation of Preciado of an animalism to come, in a speculative writing that runs through the works of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Cannibal Metaphysics) and Paul B.

Abstract:
This study examines how two writers deal with demonic possession and exorcism in their written works that both have a common theme, the same alleged case of possession and exorcism. By comparing these written works I explore if the authors share any common or varying theories on possession and exorcism and investigate if the common theme of the two books has contributed to the authors writing similar books.My results show that the two authors deal with demonic possession and exorcism differently, one has theological views of the phenomena but is sceptical of their role in the alleged case, whilst the other believes that demonic possession and exorcism can be explained using scientific theories and that they are phenomena that played a part in the alleged case. The two books are quite different. I conclude that both writers’ theories of the phenomena are dependent on the existence of the phenomenon of religion.

This paper aims to analyze the character Inferninho, from the novel Cidade de Deus (2002), through the novelistic typology postulated by György Lukács (2009). We intend to problematize some presuppositions from the Hungarian theoretical in the analyzed character. Three fundamental aspects of the investigated hero’s construction rise from our study: education, vengeance and delirium. The recognition of Lins’s novel as an initial mark of contemporary Brazilian literature for Resende (2008) is the starting point to the development of an analysis based on the questioning about the relationship between “thoughts and actions” concerning the literary representations in present time.

Surgem como base de nosso estudo três aspectos fundamentais na construção do herói investigado: a educação, a vingança e o delírio. O reconhecimento do romance de Lins, por Resende (2008), como marco inicial da literatura brasileira contemporânea é o ponto de partida para que se desenvolva uma análise calcada no questionamento sobre a relação “pensamento e ação”, no que tange às representações literárias atualmente.

Abstract:
To mark its 250th anniversary in 2002, the British Museum decided to make one of the earliest existent depictions of Lilith, or Astarte, its chief acquisition. Called The Burney Relief —after Sidney Burney, who had purchased it in 1935— it was purchased in June 2003 from a Mr Sakamoto at the price of ₤1,500,000. To celebrate its entrance into the museum's collections, it was renamed the “Queen of the Night” by the British Museum (Collon 2005 511). It has been connected to feminine divine and demonic figures, such as Ishtar, Lilith, Astarte, and has been called “Queen of the Underworld” (Collon 2007 50). My thesis looks at these figures of the feminine demonic and the evolution of occult philosophy, and particularly demonology, within Early Modern England, and how demonological studies influenced and were influenced by current sociopolitical climates. Within much occult writing, nonChristian sources (including preChristian philosophy and Hebraic Cabala) were incorporated into the Christian world view, and affected Christian systems of angelic hierarchies and man's place within these hierarchies. English occult thought was influenced by continental writers and philosophers such as Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Marsilio Ficino, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, and Leon Modena. One figure, in particular, featured strongly in many of the demonological writings which were making their way into English occultism: Lilith. When dealing with issues of political and sexual power, Lilith often appears as a focal point for philosophers as they attempt to discover links between gender, demons, and evil. This thesis examines the feminine demonic and the figure of Lilith in the art and literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, looking both at the occult practioners John Dee, Simon Forman, and Edward Kelley, and at the literary traditions that came out of that occult philosophy. It explores how Lilith manifests in literature which tries to address anxieties surrounding the feminine demonic and sexuality, and the implications of a demonic, political inversion. Lilith and the feminine demonic are seen to be relevant to the works of Ben Jonson, James VI and I, Thomas Dekker, Robert Greene, Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and John Selden, with a final chapter examining the evidence of Lilith in Milton's poetry, and in particular, Milton's Paradise Lost.

Abstract:
El interés de esta tesis es aportar a la elaboración del duelo por la derrota de lo cotidiano, mediante la interrupción de su espectralidad retornante, con el fin de dejarse habitar por su reclamo. Mediante el alcance de algunas de sus dimensiones, las más gruesas, quizás se abrigue la posibilidad de repensar la cotidianidad en el marco de un interés emancipatorio que, más allá del intento monopólico de la modernidad pero también en la rehabilitación de su núcleo, el sujeto, pueda ser finalmente reasumida como coesencial a la tradición de Occidente, en momentos en que una avasallante restauración neoliberal pone en franco peligro las aspiraciones para una liberación política radical. El marco en el cual se ensayará este asunto se constituye mediante la indagación general del modo en que la disciplina del diseño, en el amplio marco de sus variantes, se convierte en el modo fundamental para el agenciamiento de la vida en la progresiva urbanización de la existencia contemporánea. Los supuestos ontológicos que se ven involucrados en este proceso, están íntimamente asociados a la manera en que la cotidianidad se convierte en el foco de articulación de la empresa emancipatoria de la modernidad y su crisis. En este sentido, el establecimiento de los elementos para una ontología política del  diseño contemporáneo, pasa necesariamente por vislumbrar el cómo la virtual derrota de la vida cotidiana respecto a las posibilidades de su modelamiento total por obra del diseño, aún no es completamente sobrellevada por la disciplina, constituyéndose en el núcleo traumático que envuelve a los nuevos referentes paradigmáticos que hoy conforman su suelo epistémico y metodológico. En efecto, la progresiva adopción, por parte del diseño, de las teorías de la complejidad, la cibernética y la teoría de sistemas, constituirían un particular proceso de alegorización de la derrota de lo cotidiano, mediante el retorno melancólico de su original pretensión de alcanzar una mundanidad totalmente obrada. Tal efecto, más allá de quedar recluido en la autonomía disciplinaria del diseño, viene a realizar ejemplarmente el modo en que el neoliberalismo consolida un modo de ejercer lo político –o mejor dicho de disolverlo– a través de las lógicas del consenso y la gobernabilidad posdemocrática. Por lo mismo, la vida cotidiana, entendida como el horizonte temporal y espacial que hoy en día viene a religar el sentido que otrora intentaba fabricar la conciencia histórica, requiere ser escuchada en la profundidad de su reclamo.

Abstract:
En la siguiente tesis expondré desde el psicoanálisis cómo se estable la relación amorosa en Cayetano Delaura y Sierva María, personajes centrales de la novela Del amor y otros demonios de Gabriel García Márquez. Para comprender mejor el desarrollo de esta relación y la postergación de la relación sexual a lo largo de su desarrollo, propongo una lectura que parte desde el análisis de cada una de las partes de esta relación. En el primer capítulo presentaré a Cayetano Delaura como parte del Orden Simbólico. En el segundo capítulo describiré a Sierva María, como la representación de lo Real dentro del contexto colonial de la novela. Por último, explicaré cómo es que estos dos sujetos van a entablar una relación a través de un diálogo con los sonetos de Garcilaso de la Vega. De esta forma trataré de responder la pregunta principal de la tesis: ¿Por qué es tan difícil la consumación de un amor pleno en esta novela?

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores how Eusebius of Caesarea’s ideas about demons interacted with and helped to shape his thought on other topics, particularly political topics. In doing so, it builds on and complements recent work on early Christian demonology by scholars including Gregory Smith, David Brakke and Dayna Kalleres, as well as Stuart Clark’s work on early modern demonology. Eusebius’ political thought has long drawn the attention of scholars who have identified in some of his works the foundations of later Byzantine theories of kingship. However, Eusebius’ political thought has not previously been examined in the light of his views on demons. Moreover, despite frequent references to demons throughout many of Eusebius’ works, there has, until now, been no comprehensive study of Eusebius’ views on demons, as expressed throughout a range of his works. The originality of this thesis therefore lies both in an initial examination of Eusebius’ views on demons and their place in his cosmology, and in the application of the insights derived from this to consideration of his political thought. As a result of this new perspective, this thesis challenges scholars’ traditional characterisation of Eusebius as a triumphal optimist. Instead, it draws attention to his concerns about a continuing demonic threat, capable of disrupting humankind’s salvation, and presents Eusebius as a more cautious figure than the one familiar to late antique scholarship.

Abstract:
The concept of tiny machines capable of selectively transporting particles between two compartments by Brownian motion dates back to the 19th century when James Clerk Maxwell pondered the significance of a hypothetical ‘sorting demon’ being able to perform such a task adiabatically. This thesis report the design, synthesis and operation of a compartmentalized molecular machine in which the distribution of a Brownian particle, the macrocycle in a rotaxane, is controlled by using the lightinduced transmission of information to lower a kinetic barrier according to the location of the particle. For an ensemble of such machines the particle distribution is driven further and further away from equilibrium, providing a non-adiabatic realization of Maxwell’s pressure demon in molecular form. The nanomachine does not break the Second Law of Thermodynamics because the energy cost of the information transfer is met by externally supplied photons. As the molecular structure can be understood in chemical terms, it is possible in this experimental system to pin-point precisely how information is traded for energy. Intriguingly, the chemical mechanism can also be understood in terms of game theory. This is the first example of a synthetic molecular machine designed to operate via an information ratchet mechanism, where knowledge of the object’s position is used to control its transport away from equilibrium.

In this thesis, we take the first steps towards measuring the fluctuations in HI emission before reionization which carry information on the first X-ray emitting compact objects and hot interstellar gas heated by the deaths of the first stars (ancient demons). First, we show that existing and planned interferometers are sensitive enough to place interesting constraints on the astrophysics of X-ray heating. Second, we obtain first upper limits on the pre-reionization fluctuations with the Murchison Widefield Array. We also use these measurements to explore the impact of low-frequency systematics, such as increased foreground brightness and the ionosphere. We discover that contamination by fine-scale frequency structure introduced by the instrument is the leading obstacle to measuring the 21 cm power spectrum before reionization. This motivates the design of a next-generation experiment, HERA, with acceptable levels of intrinsic spectral structure. We also perform a careful examination of whether traditional calibration strategies are sufficient to suppress instrumental spectral structure. We find that while existing calibration techniques have critical flaws, there exist promising strategies to overcome these deficiencies which we are now pursuing.

Abstract:
The life of the controversial Irish nationalist Roger David Casement, who was sentenced to death for high treason by the British Crown, has inspired writers to produce works of various literary genres: prose, poetry, drama and critical essays. This doctoral dissertation aims to investigate, under the light of trauma theory as suggested chiefly, but not solely by Cathy Caruth, Ron Eyerman and Dominick La Capra, the ways in which the figure of Roger Casement can be associated with traumatic events that have sealed Anglo-Irish relations. Thus, I have selected works that deal with Casements Life as he acts both for and against the trauma inflicted by imperialism respectively as a Victorian hero in Arthur Conan Doyles The Lost World (1912) and as an oblique presence in the 1916 Easter Rebellion in Jamie ONeills At Swim, Two Boys (2001); the trauma surrounding his Trial and the discovery of the homosexual Black Diaries that culminated in his hanging through his representation as a whole man in Mario Vargas Llosas The Dream of the Celt and in Patrick Masons The Dreaming of Roger Casement (2010); and finally, the trauma that persists unresolved in his Afterlife, as a ghost in David Rudkins Cries from Casement as his Bones are Brought to Dublin and as traumatic memory in the Annabel Davis-Goffs The Foxs Walk. As a result, we have found that the representation of Roger Casement in these works, although in various ways, is a metaphor for the traumatic process itself: an embodiment of the disjunction of temporality, [and] the surfacing of the past in the presente (Whitehead) as his presence continues to haunt the story of the transatlantic world.
A vida do controverso nacionalista irlandês Roger David Casement, condenado à morte por alta traição pela Coroa Britânica, inspirou a escrita obras de diversos gêneros literários: prosa, poesia, teatro e ensaios críticos. Esta tese de doutorado tem como objetivo investigar, sob a luz da teoria do trauma, tal como sugerido principalmente, mas não exclusivamente por Cathy Caruth, Ron Eyerman e Dominick La Capra, diferentes maneiras pelas quais a figura de Roger Casement pode ser associada a eventos traumáticos que selaram as relações Anglo-irlandesas. Dessa forma, foram selecionados trabalhos que lidam com a Vida de Casement, como ele age a favor e contra o trauma causado pelo imperialismo como herói vitoriano em The Lost World (1910) de Arthur Conan Doyle e como uma presença oblíqua na Revolta da Páscoa de 1916 em At Swim, Two Boys de (2001) Jamie ONeill; o trauma em torno de seu Julgamento e da descoberta dos Black Diaries que o levaram à forca por meio de sua representação como um homem completo em The Dream of the Celt (2012) de Mario Vargas Llosa e em The Dreaming of Roger Casement (2012) de Patrick Mason e, finalmente, o trauma não resolvido que persiste em sua Vida após a Morte, como um fantasma em Cries from Casement as his Bones are Brought to Dublin (1973) e como memória traumática em The Foxs Walk de Annabel Davis-Goff. Verificamos que as representações de Roger Casement nessas obras, ainda que de formas distintas, representam uma metáfora do processo traumático em si: Uma personificação da disjunção da temporalidade, [e] o surgimento do passado no presente (Whitehead), visto que sua presença continua a assombrar a história do mundo transatlântico.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis revisits Milton’s employment of mythology and the demonic, by shedding a light on a neglected, yet intriguing possible presence of Middle-Eastern mythology – or as identified in this thesis – Judeo-Arabic mythology in Paradise Lost. The mythographic reception of Milton’s work has been rightly discussed within a Greco-Roman frame. However, this thesis offers for a consideration an analysis of the unique role of Judeo-Arabic mythology. By doing so, the thesis not only aims to enrich the dualistic analyses of ‘East-West’, ‘Christian-Muslim’ and ‘Anglo-Ottoman’ relations, when tackling this angle of Early Modern studies, but also to generally demonstrate the way seventeenth-century literature encompassed multifaceted and interchangeable allusions to both Islam and Judaism in Catholic and Protestant writing. The thesis directs its attention towards examining the possible presence of two Judeo-Arabic demonic figures in Paradise Lost: the Islamic devil, Iblis, and his consort in the Jewish tradition, Lilith. The argument demonstrates the way Milton’s deployment of the Judeo-Arabic demonic not only mirrors the Biblical story of the Fall, but also connects with the political and religious upheavals of his age, including the emergence of the first English translation of the Qur’an in 1649. Furthermore, by examining the two Judeo-Arabic demonic figures in Paradise Lost not only the treatment of the demonic in Milton’s work is revisited in a way that allows for a wider scope of literary analysis, but the complex treatment of gender, identity and ‘the Other’ are similarly understood within a more pluralistic context. The thesis then concludes with the first discussion of the contemporary reception of Milton’s Paradise Lost in the writings of Arab women specifically, exploring the way the very same demonic, discussed throughout the thesis, is deployed by these female Arab authors while resisting and redefining the role of gender in religion, society and politics.

Full text
Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to present and analyze the translation of seven selected concessive conjuncts – anyway, however, although, though, still, nonetheless and yet – in Dan Brown’s novel Angels and Demons translated by Ola Klingberg, by means of a comparative method combined with a qualitative analysis. Background and theory are mainly based on Altenberg (1999, 2002) for the conjuncts and Ingo (1991) for translation strategies. The aim is fulfilled by answering the three research questions: 1. How does Klingberg translate the seven selected concessive conjuncts into Swedish? 2. What factors influence the choice of translation alternative? 3. What kinds of strategies does Klingberg use? The main result is that the conjuncts translate into many different alternatives, although most frequently into the Swedish adversative men, followed by a Swedish concessive like ändå. However, the analysis of anyway is inconclusive because there were not enough tokens. The main conclusion is that translation is a difficult area to be involved in since numerous aspects affect the choice of translation alternative, even though it is shown that it is definitely possible to translate more or less ‘correctly’. A second conclusion is that some words are more likely to be translated with a particular word than others.

Abstract:
Fedor Dostoevskii and Petr Verkhovenskii, the author and one of the main protagonists of the novel Demons, exhibit the same communication style and pursue similar propagandistic purposes in their public communication. Both figures function in the framework of public relations, employing mass communication for the sake of publicizing their political messages to broad audiences. In the process of their public communication, the author and the hero of the novel merge literature and journalism, fictional and factual discourse, subvert a critical analysis of their respective messages and encourage an unconditional, if unwarranted, acceptance of their communication. Relying on the theoretical findings of John Austin, Jurgen Habermas, as well as using the theoretical models of mass communication, the present study shows the underlying bond between Dostoevskii and Petr Verkhovenskii in terms of their communication style despite the ideological gulf that separates the two seemingly irreconcilable sides.

Full text
Abstract:
According to Walter Stephens, witch-theorists in the fifteenth century developed the witchcraft belief of demon copulation in order to prove the existence of demons and therefore the existence of God. In England, during the mid-seventeenth century, Cartesian and materialist philosophies spread. These new philosophies stated there was nothing in the world but corporeal substances, and these substances had to conform to natural law. This, the philosophers argued, meant witchcraft was impossible. Certain other philosophers believed a denial of any incorporeal substance would lead to atheism, and so used witchcraft as proof of incorporeal spirits to refute what they felt was a growing atheism in the world. By examining this debate we can better understand the decline of witchcraft. This debate between corporeal and incorporeal was part of the larger debate over the existence of witchcraft. It occurred at a time in England when the persecution of witches was declining. Using witchcraft as proof of incorporeal substances was one of the last uses of witchcraft before it disappeared as a valid belief. Therefore, a better understanding of this debate adds to a better understanding of witchcraft during its decline.
