Uhlemann, Steffi. "Understanding trans-basin floods in Germany : data, information and knowledge." Phd thesis, Universität Potsdam, 2013. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2013/6886/.
Full textAbstract:
Large Central European flood events of the past have demonstrated that flooding can affect several river basins at the same time leading to catastrophic economic and humanitarian losses that can stretch emergency resources beyond planned levels of service. For Germany, the spatial coherence of flooding, the contributing processes and the role of trans-basin floods for a national risk assessment is largely unknown and analysis is limited by a lack of systematic data, information and knowledge on past events.
This study investigates the frequency and intensity of trans-basin flood events in Germany. It evaluates the data and information basis on which knowledge about trans-basin floods can be generated in order to improve any future flood risk assessment. In particu-lar, the study assesses whether flood documentations and related reports can provide a valuable data source for understanding trans-basin floods.
An adaptive algorithm was developed that systematically captures trans-basin floods using series of mean daily discharge at a large number of sites of even time series length (1952-2002). It identifies the simultaneous occurrence of flood peaks based on the exceedance of an initial threshold of a 10 year flood at one location and consecutively pools all causally related, spatially and temporally lagged peak recordings at the other locations. A weighted cumulative index was developed that accounts for the spatial extent and the individual flood magnitudes within an event and allows quantifying the overall event severity. The parameters of the method were tested in a sensitivity analysis. An intensive study on sources and ways of information dissemination of flood-relevant publications in Germany was conducted. Based on the method of systematic reviews a strategic search approach was developed to identify relevant documentations for each of the 40 strongest trans-basin flood events. A novel framework for assessing the quality of event specific flood reports from a user’s perspective was developed and validated by independent peers. The framework was designed to be generally applicable for any natural hazard type and assesses the quality of a document addressing accessibility as well as representational, contextual, and intrinsic dimensions of quality.
The analysis of time-series of mean daily discharge resulted in the identification of 80 trans-basin flood events within the period 1952-2002 in Germany. The set is dominated by events that were recorded in the hydrological winter (64%); 36% occurred during the summer months. The occurrence of floods is characterised by a distinct clustering in time. Dividing the study period into two sub-periods, we find an increase in the percentage of winter events from 58% in the first to 70.5% in the second sub-period. Accordingly, we find a significant increase in the number of extreme trans-basin floods in the second sub-period.
A large body of 186 flood relevant documentations was identified. For 87.5% of the 40 strongest trans-basin floods in Germany at least one report has been found and for the most severe floods a substantial amount of documentation could be obtained. 80% of the material can be considered grey literature (i.e. literature not controlled by commercial publishers).
The results of the quality assessment show that the majority of flood event specific reports are of a good quality, i.e. they are well enough drafted, largely accurate and objective, and contain a substantial amount of information on the sources, pathways and receptors/consequences of the floods. The inclusion of this information in the process of knowledge building for flood risk assessment is recommended.
Both the results as well as the data produced in this study are openly accessible and can be used for further research.
The results of this study contribute to an improved spatial risk assessment in Germany. The identified set of trans-basin floods provides the basis for an assessment of the chance that flooding occurs simultaneously at a number of sites. The information obtained from flood event documentation can usefully supplement the analysis of the processes that govern flood risk.Abschätzungen zum Hochwasserrisiko beschränken sich zumeist auf die Analyse innerhalb eines Einzugsgebietes bzw. eines bestimmten Ortes. Die Zusammenhänge in größeren Regionen und vor allem Korrelationen zwischen verschiedenen Einzugsgebieten werden nur selten betrachtet. Solche einzugsgebietsübergreifenden Analysen sind jedoch sowohl für die Versicherungswirtschaft, den Katastrophenschutz sowie für großräumige strategische Hochwasserplanungen notwendig. Allerdings stehen nur für eine geringe Auswahl historischer Ereignisse Daten zur Verfügung und systematische Ansätze zu ihrer Erfassung wurden für Deutschland bisher nicht entwickelt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht zum ersten die Häufigkeit und Intensität von flussgebietsübergreifenden Hochwasserereignissen in Deutschland anhand von gemessenen Abflüssen an einer Vielzahl von Stationen. Es können insgesamt 80 Hochwasserereignisse in Deutschland im Zeitraum von 1952-2002 nachgewiesen werden. Davon treten die meisten Ereignissen im hydrologischen Winterhalbjahr auf (64%). Wir können nachweisen, dass die Häufigkeit des Auftretens in verschiedenen Perioden unterschiedlich ist, und dass im Untersuchungszeitraum eine signifikante Zunahme von Winterereignissen und damit vor allem von sehr schweren flussgebietsübergreifenden Hochwasserereignissen zu verzeichnen ist. Die Studie hatte des Weiteren zum Ziel, die verfügbare Daten- und Informationsgrundlage zur Hochwasseranalyse zu erkunden. Im speziellen wird untersucht, inwieweit Hochwasserereignisdokumentationen und verwandte Berichte als eine weitere Datenquelle für ein verbessertes Prozessverständnis genutzt werden können. Im Rahmen einer systematischen Suche konnten für die 40 größten Hochwasserereignisse in Deutschland 186 relevante Berichte identifiziert werden. 80% des Materials kann als Grauliteratur eingestuft werden, d.h. als Veröffentlichungen welche nicht durch kommerzielle Verleger publiziert wird. Die sich daraus ergebende Frage nach der Qualität der Dokumente und ihres Informationsgehaltes wurde durch die Entwicklung und Anwendung eines Qualitätsbewertungsschemas beantwortet. Die Ergebnisse der Qualitätsbewertung zeigen, dass die Mehrheit der ereignisspezifischen Hochwasserberichte von guter Qualität ist, d.h. die Berichte sind in ausreichender Qualität verfasst, größtenteils korrekt und objektiv und beinhalten eine substantielle Menge an Informationen zu den Ursachen, Verläufen, betroffenen Objekten und Schäden eines Ereignisses. Es wird empfohlen diese Informationen in die Wissenssynthese für die Hochwasserrisikobewertung einfließen zu lassen. Sowohl Ergebnisse als auch Daten dieser Studie sind so publiziert, dass sie öffentlich zugänglich sind und für weitere Forschungsfragen genutzt werden können.

White, Melinda. "Between Floors: The Ups and Downs of Mediated Narrative." VCU Scholars Compass, 2012. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/433.
Full textAbstract:
“Between Floors: The Ups and Downs of Mediated Narrative” and the accompanying creative remediation project, “Between Floors: Love and Other Blood Related Diseases,” meld theory and practice of print with electronic literature and installation art. I argue that as the medium changes, the narrative is transformed. The narrative can be reconstructed and pieced together as the reader or viewer becomes increasingly involved, even embodied within the work. This embodiment is what Nathaniel Stern calls “Moving and thinking and feeling” (1) and can result in a more direct emotional experience. The form, structure, and medium (sjužet) rely on authorial intention, yet as a narrative becomes more interactive and experiential the feedback loop shifts, placing meaning, message, and construction of narrative (fabula) between media and reader/viewer. This necessarily complicates the notion of authorship, yet within an embodied space, such as the installations included in this analysis, there is a potential for greater emotional understanding between author/artist and reader/viewer. In the print story “Between Floors: Love and Other Blood Related Diseases,” the protagonist, June, visits her father in a hospital after a tragedy and ends up spending the rest of her life there. The metaphor of an elevator throughout the print, electronic, and installation versions furthers the trapped, claustrophobic feeling of the narrative as well as the ups and downs of relationships and grief. Pieces of the narrative remain recognizable through the electronic literature and installation, yet as the reader/viewer is increasingly immersed in the narrative, it becomes his or her own—a more subjective and overwhelming emotional experience. The elevator metaphor extends through the analysis—an emblem of traditional linear narratives and the narrative arc and technological immersion. The analysis explores theories of language, medium, authorship, nonlinearity, interactivity, and embodiment through existing narrative, new media, and installation theorists such as Peter Brooks, Marshall McLuhan, and Nathaniel Stern. This dissertation and to an extent, experiment, uses theory and practice to illuminate narrative using a recombination of existing theory and an original remediation in three distinct forms, to further the understanding of the nature of narratives, media, authors, and readers, while blurring boundaries between disciplines.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to discuss and analyse the influenceof data uncertainties with regard to the reliability of materialflow analysis (MFA) studies. MFA, as a part of environmentalsystems analysis, is a method belonging to the research field ofindustrial ecology and more specifically industrial metabolism.As such, the method strives at giving a holistic view of thecomplex world we live in, in order to reduce negativeenvironmental impact. Among other things, MFA studies have beenproposed to be useful for priority setting and following up inmunicipalities.
Serving as a starting point is a local case study of flows ofnitrogen in a Swedish municipality, Västerås. The casestudy has been performed using the ComBoxmodel. The years studiedare 1995 and 1998. The main sectors in society emitting nitrogento water were identified as the agricultural and householdsectors. The dominating sectors emitting nitrogen to air wereidentified as the agricultural, transport and infrastructuresectors.
As a basis for discussing data uncertainties qualitatively andquantitatively a literature survey was performed. 50 articles andbooks were identified as in some way or another dealing with datauncertainties in MFA. The literature survey showed that theuncertainties for results from a MFA study might vary between±30 % and a factor 10 depending on what kind of parameter isinvestigated. Only one method was found that dealt with datauncertainties in MFA in a complete way; a model developed byHedbrant and Sörme (HS model).
When applying the HS model to the case study of nitrogen flowsin Västerås, it was found that when uncertaintyintervals were calculated the possible conclusions changed. Ofthe two pair of flows compared in relation to priority setting,none of the earlier conclusions remained. Of the three flowsanalysed in relation to following up, only the flow from onepoint source supported the same conclusion when uncertainty wasconsidered.
In all, it is concluded that data uncertainties in MFAanalysis are an important aspect and that further research isneeded in order to improve input data quality estimations andframeworks for determining, calculating and presenting data, datauncertainties and results from MFA studies. However, theunderlying reality remains, e.g. that management of materialflows are important for understanding and reducing the negativeenvironmental impact. Thus, MFA is one useful tool in thiswork.

Evans, Taylor. "Genetic Engineering as Literary Praxis: A Study in Contemporary Literature." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2012. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/5200.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the understudied issue of genetic engineering as it has been deployed in the literature of the late 20th century. With reference to the concept of the enlightened gender hybridity of Cyborg theory and an eye to ecocritical implications, I read four texts: Joan Slonczewski's 1986 science fiction novel A Door Into Ocean, Octavia Butler's science fiction trilogy Lilith's Brood – originally released between 1987 and 1989 as Xenogenesis – Simon Mawer's 1997 literary novel Mendel's Dwarf, and the first two books in Margaret Atwood's speculative fiction MaddAddam series: 2003's Oryx and Crake and 2009's The Year Of the Flood. I argue that the inclusion of genetic engineering has changed as the technology moves from science fiction to science fact, moving from the fantastic to the mundane. Throughout its recent literary history, genetic engineering has played a role in complicating questions of sexuality, paternity, and the division between nature and culture. It has also come to represent a nexus of potential cultural change, one which stands to fulfill the dramatic hybridity Haraway rhapsodized in her “Cyborg Manifesto” while also containing the potential to disrupt the ecocritical conversation by destroying what we used to understand as nature. Despite their four different takes on the issue, each of the texts I read offers a complex vision of utopian hopes and apocalyptic fears. They agree that, for better or for worse, genetic engineering is forever changing both our world and ourselves.ID: 031001413; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Adviser: James Campbell.; Title from PDF title page (viewed June 14, 2013).; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2012.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 180-187).

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a study of the Arizona Mexican American women writers--las arizonenses--of the twentieth century, with special emphasis on the works by Eva Antonia Wilbur-Cruce and Patricia Preciado Martin. A primary focus of the dissertation is the ways in which these writers relate to their physical and cultural landscapes. A comparative analysis is made between Wilbur-Cruce who responds to a critical time of transition for Mexican American rancheros moving from rural to urban areas at the turn of the century, and Preciado Martin, who focuses on the neo-colonization and growing tourism of Tucson and surrounding areas during the second half of the twentieth century. Playwright Silviana Wood and poet Patti Blanco are studied for the contributions they make to the writing about life in a small Arizona mining community and the Tucson Mexican American barrio, respectively.

Resumo: Esta tese tem como objetivo a análise comparativa entre Les Fleurs du Mal, de Charles Baudelaire, e Eu, de Augusto dos Anjos, tendo como principal base teórica o grotesco enquanto manifestação artística. Talvez, na atualidade, poucos críticos tenham dúvida quanto à leitura, por parte de Augusto dos Anjos, de Les Fleurs du Mal. Mas isso não significa, de modo algum, cópia, ou influência tão direta, como já foi tão amplamente discutido. Uma leitura mais atenta mostra rumos diferentes, posturas diferentes, modos de chocar diferentes. Eis o ponto em que a análise das manifestações grotescas na obra de ambos se faz pertinente. Desta maneira, temos o grotesco como princípio de comparação, mostrando muito mais do que uma simples influência, mas uma gama de idéias que poderiam aproximar Augusto dos Anjos não apenas de Baudelaire, como também da tendência moderna que se delineou desde o poeta francês, e desde o Romantismo, e que seguiu dentro de algumas correntes vanguardistas rumo o século XX. Por outro lado, a análise tem como objetivo apontar diferenças que denotem tomadas de postura diversas que caracterizem a originalidade de cada poeta, e que mostrem, sobretudo no caso de Augusto dos Anjos, até que ponto as influências sofridas contribuíram para a formação da identidade de sua poesia, e até que ponto essas mesmas influências foram superadas para a criação de um livro tão intrigante quanto o Eu.
Abstract: This thesis is about the analysis of Les Fleurs du Mal (Charles Baudelaire) and Eu (Augusto dos Anjos) using the grotesque as the main theorical principle while artistic manifestation. Perhaps, nowadays, few reviewers aren't sure about Les Fleurs du Mal reading by Augusto dos Anjos, but it doesn't mean a case of copying, or a direct influence, as it was discussed so often. A profound analysis may show different ways, different postures, and different manners of shocking. That's the point in which the analysis of grotesque in both books becomes important. By this way, we have the grotesque as a principle of comparison, showing much more than a simple influence, but ideas that approximate Augusto dos Anjos not only to Baudelaire, but also to the Modern tendency that was created by that French poet and, before, by the Romanticism itself, following some avant-garde tendencies through XX century. On another hand, the analysis targets the differences that indicate several characteristics with denote the originality of each poet and reveals, mainly in Augusto dos Anjos' case, how the suffered influences contributed to the identity of his poetry, and how these same influences were overcome to the creation of a so interesting book.

"Is Early L2 Reading of Children’s Literature a Good Idea? : How the attitudes to reading English children’s literature affect book access and teacher-library collaboration in two Swedish primary schools." Thesis, Malmö universitet, Fakulteten för lärande och samhälle (LS), 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-41885.
Full textAbstract:
This case study investigates how teachers’ and school librarians’ attitudes towards L2 reading in years 1-4, as well as their perceived book access and teacher-library collaboration, influence the use and reading of English children’s literature in two Swedish primary schools. This study is motivated by the importance the English language has in Sweden for higher education, the previous research proving powerful language benefits of extensive L2 reading, as well as the recent proposition to strengthen the school library’s role in Sweden. The data collected through qualitative, semi-structured interviews suggests that the participants’ attitudes affect book access, teacher-library collaboration and finally the pupils’ reading of English children’s literature at school. The results show that a confident and positive attitude towards early L2 reading appears to result in more reading, whereas more hesitant attitudes result in less reading. Despite the positive attitudes towards L2 reading in general, most teachers still displayed ambivalent attitudes toward dedicating ample class time to the reading of English children’s literature in the earliest years, often perceiving such reading as too difficult for their pupils. This ambivalence negatively affects the teacher-library collaboration, the inadequate access to physical books catering for the youngest pupils, as well as these learners’ early exposure to English reading. The results indicate that the interpretative nature of the English syllabus has teachers perceive the urgency of reading English children’s literature differently, consequently resulting in different reading practices. In a macro perspective, an unwelcome consequence for Swedish pupils may be an unequal reading preparation for the increasing English demands ahead.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis is intended to throw new light on the biography of the late-fifteenth-century writer Juan de Flores and to elucidate various aspects of his role in the development of the Spanish sentimental romance. To this end, I have prepared a critical edition of his romance La hiatQri. a sie Gr i. Bel y Mirak-elle (ca. 1480) in the three distinct versions in which it is known to have circulated: (1) an original text (preserved in MS 5-3-20, Biblioteca Colombina, Seville, fos. 69r-86r), (2) a revised version (preserved in MS 940, Biblioteca Trivulziana, Milan, fos. 1r-76v), and (3) a second revision, probably anonymous (preserved in the eight extant printed editions, which range in date from ca. 1495 to 1562). The edition contains a full corpus of variants for the printed witnesses, along with linguistic, exegetical and textual notes. Accompanying this edition is a textual study (Chapter 3) in which I establish the relationship to one another of the surviving witnesses and discuss in detail the work's genesis. The remaining chapters concern the attribution to Flores of two works hitherto regarded as anonymous. In Chapter 1, I argue that the known as La ==na-WQn da la zel a GTaniBla is modelled on GI, 1, Bgl y Mirabelle, and I adduce stylistic and other circumstantial evidence to show that Flores is probably -2- its author. Employing a similar methodology, I demonstrate in Chapter 2 that Flores can be identified as a royal chronicler to the Catholic Monarchs and author of the GjQai-Qa i. nQQIp1at de 14a Ray! aa Qat4j -Q4a" Drawing on information in the chronicle, I provide a plausible reconstruction of his life at the ducal court of Alba and illustrate the importance of his historiographic work for our understanding of his fictional output. This thesis provides a revaluation of Juan de Flores as a far more prolific, versatile and influential author than has previously been recognized.

Rocha, Ramon Diego Câmara. "Chão de meninos : o espaço literário na narrativa memorialista de Zélia Gattai." Pós-Graduação em Letras, 2018. http://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/8205.
Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESThe research in relief seeks to analyze, through the book Boys floor, by the Bahian author Zélia Gattai, how the interiorization of the fictional universe, supported by an aesthetic treatment with language, generated spaces of frontier between literature and the autobiographical genre, reflecting on the space of the literary in the compositional universe of his narrative. For this, we will divide our reflections into three integrated parts that will constitute the whole of our thinking. In the first chapter, entitled “The hybridizations of literary space”, we try to demonstrate not only the importance of literature as the guardian of the unsaid, but also the creation of a literary space at the heart of the autobiographical text, expanding the limits of aesthetic composition and reflecting on certain institutional frameworks, as much of the autobiographical text, as of the literary one. In this direction, and using the theoretical framework of philosophy and literary theory, we will support authors who have studied this subject, such as Phillippe Lejeune, Pierre Bourdieu and Leonor Arfuch. As for the study of these texts, we will take as a methodology a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach of this space of creation, dialoguing with authors such as Maurice Blanchot, Hans George Gadamer, Gaston Bachelard, Martin Heidegger and others. Even in this first moment of our questions, we will also see how the reorganization of the mnemonic occurred in literature, especially in Brazilian literature. In this context, authors such as Alfredo Bosi and Antonio Candido will also serve as a basis for reflect on certain aspects of memorialism in our literature. In the second chapter, entitled “The literary space and the memoirist narrative of Zélia Gattai”, it will be debated how some memorialist productions in Brazil, giving emphasis to the one of the Bahian writer, constructed a literary space at the core of its verbal expression, through a treatment aesthetic of lived. Here we shall begin to remember as a matter of our perception of the world, tied to an aesthetic-spatial construction of the narrated. For a better understanding of this compositional disposition we will avail ourselves of this construction of the literary space from the mnemonic through authors like Henri Bergson, Benedito Nunes, Beatriz Sarlo, Antonio Cândido, Luiz Costa Lima, among others. Already in the third and final chapter, “Stepping on a boys floor”, we will see how the literary space in the narrative of boys floor manifests, focusing more emphatically on the work of Zélia and evidencing its narrative composition in a frontier aesthetic, between the literary and the autobiographical through the spatialization of their memories within their verbal expression. In this sense, authors such as Luís Alberto Brandão, Henri Bergson, Gaston Bachelard and Paul de Man will be importants in this journey.
A pesquisa em relevo tratou de analisar, através do livro Chão de meninos, da escritora brasileira Zélia Gattai, como a interiorização do universo ficcional, apoiada em uma tratamento estético com a linguagem, gerou espaços de fronteira entre a literatura e o gênero autobiográfico, refletindo sobre o espaço do literário no universo composicional de sua narrativa. Para isso, dividimos nossas reflexões em três partes integradas que constiuiram o todo de nosso pensamento. No primeiro capítulo, intitulado “As hibridizações do espaço literário”, procuramos demonstrar não só a importância da literatura e de sua relação com o não-dito, como criação de um espaço literário no cerne do texto autobiográfico que expande os limites de composição estética, como também, refletir sobre determinados enquadramentos teóricos, tanto do texto autobiográfico, quanto do literário. Neste direcionamento e, valendo-nos do arcabouço teórico da filosofia e da teoria literária, apoiamo-nos em autores que se debruçaram sobre esse tema, a exemplo de Phillippe Lejeune, Pierre Bourdieu e Leonor Arfuch. Já no tocante ao estudo desses textos em si, tomamos como metodologia uma abordagem hermenêutico-fenomenológica desse espaço de criação, dialogando com autores como Maurice Blanchot, Hans George Gadamer, Gaston Bachelard, Martin Heidegger, entre outros. Ainda neste primeiro momento de nossos questionamentos, vimos como a reorganização do mnemônico se deu nessa produção, agora considerada memorialista. Neste âmbito, autores como Alfredo Bosi e Antonio Candido também nos serviram de base, ao refletirmos sobre certos aspectos memorialistas em nossa literatura. No segundo capítulo, intitulado “O espaço literário nas narrativas de memória”, discutimos como algumas produções memorialistas no Brasil, dando ênfase à de Zélia Gattai, construíram um espaço literário no cerne de sua expressão verbal, através de um tratamento estético do vivido. Aqui lançamo-nos à memória enquanto matéria de nossa percepção do mundo, atrelada a uma construção estético-espacial do narrado. Para uma melhor compreensão dessa disposição composicional utilizamos autores como Henri Bergson, Benedito Nunes, Antonio Candido, Beatriz Sarlo, Luiz Costa Lima, entre outros. Já no terceiro e último capítulo, “Firmando-nos em um chão de meninos”, analisamos como se manifesta o espaço literário na narrativa de Chão de meninos, debruçando-nos, de forma mais enfática, sobre a obra de Zélia e evidenciando sua composição narrativa em uma estética fronteiriça, entre o literário e o autobiográfico, através da espacialização de suas lembranças no seio de sua expressão verbal. Nesse sentido, autores como Luís Alberto Brandão, Henri Bergson, Gaston Bachelard e Paul de Man foram importantes nesse percurso.

Resumo: Esta dissertação de mestrado se propõe a analisar o diálogo entre fotografia e literatura nas obras de Guilherme Gontijo Flores intituladas Tróiades (2014) e o conjunto de poemas intitulado Daguerreótipos de Cão, publicado no livro Brasa Enganosa (2013), e nas obras de Veronica Stigger chamadas Opisanie Swiata (2013) e Minha Novela (2013). Em ambos os autores, encontramos uma proposta de diálogo com a imagem fotográfica e suas reverberações na arte e na sociedade além de uma demanda ilustrativa dessas obras. Esse tipo de relação não é pouco comum na literatura brasileira, porém, vimos, nesses autores, projetos capazes de ilustrar inúmeros diálogos entre essas duas linguagens. Esta relação provoca um entrelaçamento complexo entre as estruturas que sustentam o fazer literário e o fotográfico. O trabalho em curso busca demonstrar como, nas obras escolhidas, há uma relação de absorção mútua dessas ferramentas, dando, todavia, maior atenção às mudanças causadas pela inserção de imagens fotográficas em obras literárias. Palavras-chave: Interartes, Fotografia, Mimesis, Modernidade, Ruptura
Abstract: This dissertation proposes to analyze the dialogue between photography and literature in the works of Guilherme Gontijo Flores entitled Tróiades (2014) and the collection of poems: Daguerreótipos de Cão, published in the book Brasa Enganosa (2013), and works of Veronica Stigger: Opisanie Swiata (2013) and Minha Novela (2013). In both authors we find a proposal for dialogue with the photographic image and its reverberations in art and society as well, in addition an illustrative demand for these works. This type of relationship is not unusual in Brazilian literature, however, we have seen, these authors, projects that illustrate numerous dialogues between these two languages. This relationship causes a complex intertwining of the structures that support the literary and photographic process. The ongoing text aims to show how, in the chosen works, there is a mutual absorption of those tools, giving, however, greater attention to changes caused by the insertion of images in literary works. Key-words: Interart, Photography, Mimesis, Modernity, Rupture

Resumo: Este trabalho consiste no estudo do trabalho de análise e interpretação proposto por Walter Benjamin no seu projetado livro Charles Baudelaire, um poeta na época do capitalismo avançado, especificamente no capítulo "Sobre alguns motivos na obra de Baudelaire", em que a criação poética é destacada como mecanismo de defesa. Na interpretação de Benjamin, o poeta Baudelaire, ao se sentir ameaçado e constrangido pelas adversidades repressivas do corpo social, defende-se na e com a poesia que escreve. Nesse âmbito, o próprio poeta se intitula um "esgrimista", que se utiliza do seu material de trabalho, o lápis e a caneta, como armas de defesa no duelo contra os percalços externos de uma sociedade que sofreu com as contradições pós-revolução industrial, principalmente no que diz respeito à exploração da força de trabalho dos empregados das indústrias e suas consequências sociais. Tal interpretação resultou na formulação do conceito de experiência de choque, de que nos valemos como medium de reflexão para compreender outra: a análise benjaminiana da experiência anterior e posterior ao excesso de estímulos sofridos pelo homem da modernidade. Tendo por base essa perspectiva, também investigamos a criação poética a partir da relação existente entre a poeticidade de Baudelaire e a tese freudiana, vinculada à psicanálise, cuja principal premissa é a existência de um mecanismo de defesa por parte da consciência humana em face aos estímulos externos e internos.

Abstract: This work consist in the work of analysis and interpretation propost for Walter Benjamin, in your project book Charles Baudelaire a poet in advanced capitalism, specifically in chapter about some reasons in the work of Baudelaire, in which the poetic creation is highlighted as defense mechanisms. To Benjamin, when he feels threatened and uncomfortable for adversid repressive of body social, Baudelaire defends himself with his poetry whos writes. In this context on poet himself is called a ―fencer‖ which uses the work material, pencil and pen as defensive weapons in the duel against external mishaps of a society that suffered from post industrial revolution contradictions, mainly in what respect of exploration of the force to work of employees of industries and yours consequences social. Such interpretation resulted in formulation concept of shock experience that we will use as a medium of reflection to understand another: benjaminian analysis of previous experience and after the excess stimuli suffered by the man in modernity. Based on this perspective also investigate the poetic creation from the relationship between will psychoanalysis, whose main premise is the existence of a defense mechanism of the human consciousness in college to external stimuli and internal. We understand the way Benjamin stared at Charles Baudelaire composition in all the nuances of the individual psychological structure. In this proposal, essences theoretical tools will carry out the research are linked, in general, ace relations established between the poetic creation, historical concomitant analysis of the poet's life and specific aspects of Freud's theory and his followers on the defense mechanism. Thus we note that the book Walter Benjamin: Charles Baudelaire a poet in advanced capitalism, with its own innovative interpretive stylistic runs through the most different faces of modernity, allowing a critical ...

Talvez, na atualidade, poucos críticos tenham dúvida quanto à leitura, por parte de Augusto dos Anjos, de Les Fleurs du Mal. Mas isso não significa, de modo algum, cópia, ou influência tão direta, como já foi tão amplamente discutido. Uma leitura mais atenta mostra rumos diferentes, posturas diferentes, modos de chocar diferentes. Eis o ponto em que a análise das manifestações grotescas na obra de ambos se faz pertinente. Desta maneira, temos o grotesco como princípio de comparação, mostrando muito mais do que uma simples influência, mas uma gama de idéias que poderiam aproximar Augusto dos Anjos não apenas de Baudelaire, como também da tendência moderna que se delineou desde o poeta francês, e desde o Romantismo, e que seguiu dentro de algumas correntes vanguardistas rumo o século XX. Por outro lado, a análise tem como objetivo apontar diferenças que denotem tomadas de postura diversas que caracterizem a originalidade de cada poeta, e que mostrem, sobretudo no caso de Augusto dos Anjos, até que ponto as influências sofridas contribuíram para a formação da identidade de sua poesia, e até que ponto essas mesmas influências foram superadas para a criação de um livro tão intrigante quanto o Eu.
This thesis is about the analysis of Les Fleurs du Mal (Charles Baudelaire) and Eu (Augusto dos Anjos) using the grotesque as the main theorical principle while artistic manifestation. Perhaps, nowadays, few reviewers aren´t sure about Les Fleurs du Mal reading by Augusto dos Anjos, but it doesn´t mean a case of copying, or a direct influence, as it was discussed so often. A profound analysis may show different ways, different postures, and different manners of shocking. That´s the point in which the analysis of grotesque in both books becomes important. By this way, we have the grotesque as a principle of comparison, showing much more than a simple influence, but ideas that approximate Augusto dos Anjos not only to Baudelaire, but also to the Modern tendency that was created by that French poet and, before, by the Romanticism itself, following some avant-garde tendencies through XX century. On another hand, the analysis targets the differences that indicate several characteristics with denote the originality of each poet and reveals, mainly in Augusto dos Anjos’ case, how the suffered influences contributed to the identity of his poetry, and how these same influences were overcome to the creation of a so interesting book.

Full textAbstract:
Emily Dickinson's use of water as a dominant poetic trope differs from typical religious archetypal associations with baptism, cleansing, and rebirth. Dickinson transforms rather than recapitulates established theological concepts, borrowing and adapting Biblical themes to suit her artistic purposes.
Dickinson's water poems are the poet's means of initiating a discourse with God. Dickinson's poems, however, portray the poet's seeking communion and finding only a silent response to her attempts to initiate an exchange with God. Unable to find requital to her needs for discourse, Dickinson uses Biblical imagery to vindicate ultimately abandoning the orthodox tenets of Calvinism.
Resenting the unresponsiveness of God, particularly if the solitude she experiences has been imposed through His will rather than her own, Dickinson poetically reverses roles with God to establish her autonomy, looking instead to the reader of her poetry to requite her need for discourse. And as interaction is seen as a need that Dickinson must have realized, poetry may then be understood as the poet's invitation of the reader into the discourse she finds lacking in God.
Refuting Calvinist doctrines allows the poet to validate her autonomy as well. Instead of following a course of life prescribed by God, Dickinson demonstrates her resistance to suppliance through water. Dickinson refuses to follow God's guidance unquestioningly because merely being part of a collective who follow an indifferent god provides no lasting distinction for a poet seeking immortality.
Having broken the union with God and established her god-like identity as a poet, Dickinson turns to the similar use of Biblical language in her poetry to establish the communion with her reader that she finds lacking in her relationship with God. Dickinson then strengthens this bond with the reader by asserting that divinity is present in every individual not suppressed by the restraining presence of God.

Full textAbstract:
Women are traditionally counted among the victims or losers in religious power plays. On the surface, Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novels give the impression that women will be the underdogs in these stories as well. However, on closer examination and application of Michel Foucault’s techniques of power, it can be seen that women indeed have and use power to put up resistance in otherwise seemingly hopeless situations in male dominated religious societies. The religious societies in The Year of the Flood and The Handmaid’s Tale will be compared as to how they appropriate religion and power to their advantage and how women make use of power techniques such as witnessing through discourse and the forbidden written language, use of their bodies and the fraying threads of power as opportunities, as well as community and solidarity and forgiveness to turn their situation around and fight for their futures.

Resumo: Esta tese analisa dois romances queirosianos vinculados ao gênero dramático, mais especificamente ao trágico. No primeiro momento, busca-se levar a efeito considerações teóricas acerca do trágico, caracterizando a sua especificidade, tanto na origem, quanto no seu desenvolvimento ulterior. Nesta busca da peculiaridade do sentido do trágico, a atenção volta-se para a evolução do gênero da Antigüidade ao Tempo Cristão, do trágico grego ao trágico moderno. Assim, elementos como Hybris, Antinomias Radicais, Patético, Presságios, Trama e Incesto são considerados para, num segundo momento, os romances em estudo serem analisados. Nesse sentido, tanto em A Tragédia da Rua das Flores quanto em Os Maias poder-se-á perceber a hybris, desmedida, a conduzir à hamartia, erro trágico a determinar a destruição das personagens. Nas duas obras, discute-se a individualidade das personagens, focalizada de maneira a que se constatem polaridades radicais, todavia, em Os Maias, a personagem reage melhor às intempéries individuais e sociais, enquanto a personagem de A Tragédia da Rua das Flores sofre veementemente os conflitos entre o desejo individual e a expectativa da sociedade. Da mesma maneira, nos dois romances, o leitor defronta-se com cenas patéticas e enternecedoras; entretanto, é em A Tragédia da Rua das Flores que o sentimento de comoção pode ser experimentado em grau mais elevado. Em se tratando dos presságios, que predizem a dimensão trágica dos amores incestuosos, através de símbolos e sonhos premonitórios, eles são menos diretos em Os Maias, obra mais complexa, do que em A Tragédia da Rua das Flores.

Abstract: This thesis analyses two romances of Queirós linked to the dramatic genre, specifically to the Tragedy. At the first moment, the aim is to solve theoretical considerations about the Tragedy, characterizing its specificity at the point of origin, as it does in its later development. In this search of the Tragic sense's peculiarity, attention is turned from the evolution of Antiquity type to the Christian Era, from the Greek Tragedy to the Modern style. Therefore, elements like Hybris, Radical Antinomies, Pathetic, Presages, Plot and Incest are considered and, as a second step, they are used to promote the romances' analysis. In this sense, both in A Tragédia da Rua das Flores (The Tragedy of the Flowers' Street) as in Os Maias (The Maias), the excessive Hybris becomes noticeable, leading to the Hamartia, a tragic mistake determining the destruction of the characters. In both works, the characters' individuality is analyzed, focusing on radical polarities. However, in Os Maias, the character resists better to the individual and social catastrophes, while the character of A Tragédia da Rua das Flores suffers as a result of the conflicts between individual desire and society's expectation. In the same way, in both romances, the reader faces himself with pathetic and touching scenes. Nevertheless, in A Tragédia da Rua das Flores the feeling of distress is experienced in a higher level. Dealing with Presages, which predict the tragic dimension of incestuous loves, through symbols and premonitory dreams, which are less straight in Os Maias, most complex work than A Tragédia da Rua das Flores. Peripetia, recognition and catastrophe are elements of the Classic Tragedy perfectly applicable to both Queirós' romances, as soon as the development of the intrigue...

Full textAbstract:
La presente tesis, denominada Del Génesis a los Andes: una lectura del Diluvio y las cronologías del Incario a través de las crónicas (siglos XVI- XVII), está compuesta por dos partes. La primera, da cuenta de los principales hitos del largo viaje textual que el relato del Diluvio, y la cronología que se desprendía de él, emprendieron desde el Génesis hasta las principales crónicas andinas, atendiendo a los azares, reelaboraciones, accidentes y fisuras que evidencia su proceso de transmisión. El objetivo es comprender cómo los cronistas andinos en particular y los autores de textos coloniales en general concibieron ese pasado perdido y ajeno de los orígenes del género humano y del poblamiento del mundo a partir de la descendencia de Noé, el cual heredaron de la tradición exegética tardoantigua y medieval principalmente de Flavio Josefo, san Agustín, Pedro Comestor y Alfonso el sabio. En la primera parte de la tesis también se abordan los otros diluvios que formaron parte de la tradición clásica: los griegos de Ogygio y Deucalión y el babilónico de Beroso, en nombre de quien Annio de Viterbo falsificó la Defloratio caldaica -uno de los textos que conformaban su Antiquitatum variarum- una completa reescritura de la historia de los albores de la humanidad y del episodio del Diluvio, cuya influencia se extendió más allá de los límites del Mediterráneo, cruzando el océano e instalándose en los orígenes mismos del Nuevo Mundo y de los incas. La segunda parte de la tesis, en tanto, trata sobre las cronologías que acompañaron las listas de gobernantes incas y el cálculo del Anno mundi en crónicas como la Historia de los Incas de Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, la Miscelánea antártica de Miguel Cabello Valboa, la Historia de las guerras civiles del Perú de Pedro Gutiérrez de Santa Clara, el Compendio y descripción de las Indias occidentales de Antonio Vázquez de Espinosa y la Nueva corónica y buen gobierno de Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, además de otros documentos como las Informaciones del virrey Toledo y el Discurso sobre la descendencia y gobierno de los incas. Para ello, las cronologías se abordaron en tanto construcciones, analizando su validez en el contexto mismo de su producción, es decir, en relación con la información transmitida por los registros a las que pertenecían, aplicando en el examen los mismos principios que los exégetas de la Biblia y las investigaciones contemporáneas han empleado en el estudio de la cronología que se desprende de la lista de los patriarcas prediluvianos presente en Génesis 5.The following thesis, named From Genesis to Andes: a reading of the Flood and the chronologies of the Incas through chronicles. XVI and XVII centuries, consists of two parts. The first one accounts of the major milestones of the long textual journey that the Flood story, and the chronology that can be deduced from it, undertook from Genesis to the main Andean chronicles, paying attention to the hazards, re-elaborations, accidents and fissures that evidences its transmission process. The goal is to understand how the Andean chroniclers -in particular- and authors of colonial texts -in general- conceived that lost and alien past of the origins of humankind and the peopling of the world from the descendants of Noah, past that inherited from Late Antique and Medieval exegetical tradition, mainly through Josephus, Augustine, Peter Comestor and Alfons the Wise. The first part of the thesis also addresses the other floods that were part of the classical tradition: the Greeks floods of Deucalion and Ogygio and the Babylonian flood of Berossus, on behalf of who Annius of Viterbo forged the Defloratio caldaica, one of the texts of their Antiquitatum variarum, a complete rewriting of the history of the dawn of mankind and the Flood episode, whose influence extended beyond the limits of the Mediterranean sea, across the ocean, and settled in the New World and Incas origins. The second part of the thesis, thus, is about the chronologies accompanying lists of Inca rulers and the calculation of Anno mundi in the chronicles as the History of the Incas of Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, the Antarctic miscellany of Miguel Cabello Valboa, the History of the civil wars of Peru of Pedro Gutierrez de Santa Clara, the Compendium and description of the West Indies of Antonio Vázquez de Espinosa and the New chronicle and good government of Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, as well as other documents as the Information about Incas of the Viceroy Toledo and the Discourse on descendants and government of the Incas. To do this, the chronologies are addressed as constructions, analyzing their validity in the same context of its production, that is, in relation to the information transmitted through the records to which they belonged, applying the same principles that the exegetes of the Bible and contemporary research have used in the study of the chronology that can be deduced from the list of pre-diluvian patriarchs of Genesis 5.

El objetivo de esta tesis ha sido recuperar y editar fielmente el manuscrito que se conserva en la Biblioteca Nacional de España, en Madrid, con signatura 2973, bajo el título "Flores de Baria Poesía".
La importancia de recobrar el manuscrito de "Flores" reside, sobre todo, en que en él se conservan poemas primerizos y en algunos casos únicos de los autores presentes, de ahí que el códice tenga un valor notable, además de ser el primer cancionero de corte petrarquista que se compila, o al menos se firma, en México. Añadir a ello otro valor: la posibilidad que nos brinda de poder establecer la evolución de la obra poética de una serie de autores –Gutierre de Cetina, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza o Fernando de Herrera, por ejemplo- y de una época determinada que alcanza desde 1543 más o menos hasta el año de su compilación, 1577.
En definitiva, lo que hemos pretendido ha sido poner al alcance del lector un texto fundamental de la literatura hispánica; obra absolutamente descuidada por la crítica a pesar de que tantos y tantos editores de textos poéticos del Siglo de Oro han recurrido a ella.The goal of this dissertation has been to recuperate and edit faithfully the manuspript guarded at the Spanish National Library in Madrid, with the code 2973 and titled “Flores de Baria Poesia”. The importance of recuperating the “Flores” manuscript resides mainly on the fact that contained within it are early and, in some cases, unique poems by the authors that conform it. It is also the first songbook of Petrarchan style ever compiled, or at least signed, in Mexico. Additionally, it provides us with the possibility of researching the evolution of the poetry works of a number of authors -Gutierre de Cetina, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza o Fernando de Herrera, for example- from a specific period of time between approximately 1543 and 1577, which is the year of its compilation. It is for these reasons that the codex is of high value. The manuscript has been largely ignored by literary critics even if referenced by numerous editors of poetry works of the Spanish Golden Age. With this study we want to make such a fundamental text in hispanic literature accessible to the reader.

Full textAbstract:
Egon Wolff es, sin duda, una figura de excepción dentro del teatro nacional. Sus obras destacan por la perfección de sus estructuras, por la solidez de sus diálogos, por la universalidad de sus temáticas y por la configuración de imágenes poderosamente simbólicas y poéticas. Wolff es considerado uno de los más brillantes exponentes de la llamada Generación del 50, y sus obras han sido montadas en Japón, Argentina, México, Inglaterra, Noruega, Venezuela, España, Canadá, Estados Unidos, Alemania y Suecia, entre otros países. Hay en los textos de este autor elementos que nos permiten visualizar claramente la poética que sostiene sus creaciones, entre ellos podemos señalar la constante y aguda crítica social dirigida particularmente a la clase media y a la burguesía, el carácter cíclico de sus obras, la relevancia del espacio como unidad de significación, el trabajo del lenguaje, la utilización de la metáfora, la oposición fantasía/realidad, la permanente preocupación por el mundo interior del sujeto, la representación en términos antagónicos y polarizados de la sociedad, y el uso de motivos como la invasión, el miedo, la culpa y la desilusión. En virtud de esta poética suele distinguirse en la dramaturgia de Wolff dos vertientes diferenciadas: una, que ahondaría en la interioridad de los personajes, y otra que plantearía la problemática social siempre tan relevante en este autor.

Full textAbstract:
Die Dissertation untersucht von Autorinnen (Louisa Johnson, Jane Loudon, Maria Theresa Earle, Gertrude Jekyll, Elizabeth von Arnim) verfasste Ratgeberliteratur zum Hausgarten für ein weibliches Lesepublikum, mit dem Anspruch an eine praktische Gartentätigkeit, im Zeitraum von 1839 bis 1900. Die Genderperspektive steht hieraus folgend im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit. Der Fokus auf die bürgerliche Mittelklasse ergibt sich aus der Autorinnenperspektive und der angesprochenen Leserschaft. Die Behandlung des Gartens wird einer Analyse unterzogen, die nach der weiblichen Sicht auf den Garten und einem spezifisch weiblichen Selbstverständnis der garteninteressierten bzw. gärtnernden Frauen fragt.
In ihrer Beschäftigung mit dem Garten leisten die Frauen einen Beitrag zur Konzeption von männlich und weiblich, zur Bewertung von Geschlechternormen und deren Verhandlung. Das Schreiben und Lesen über den Garten sowie hieraus resultierende Handlungen waren mit der Konstruktion weiblicher Identität verknüpft. In ihrer befreienden Konzeption des Gartens heben sich diese Frauenstimmen zu Weiblichkeitsvorstellungen von anderen gesellschaftlichen zugeschriebenen Wirkungsbereichen ab. An die bürgerliche Frau herangetragene Rollenerwartungen werden in den Werken weder affirmativ bestätigt noch offen subversiv hinterfragt. Es handelt sich vielmehr um ein subtiles Unterlaufen durch das Anbieten von Handlungsfeldern, die dem Wunsch nach Selbstverwirklichung und Selbstbestimmung entgegen kamen. Im Garten als vermeintlich kleinem, hausnah-restriktivem Kontext nehmen die Frauen neue Rollen an und variieren diese. Der Beschäftigung mit dem Garten kommt daher ein protofeministischer Charakter vor dem Einsetzen der Ersten Frauenbewegung zu, so dass von einem Gartenfeminismus als Instrument zur weiblichen Bewusstwerdung gesprochen werden kann.The thesis takes a close look at gardening literature by several women writer’s (Louisa Johnson, Jane Loudon, Maria Theresa Earle, Gertrude Jekyll, Elizabeth von Arnim) in the Victorian period, focusing on practical gardening activities. Central to its theme is its gender perspective within the garden context, predominantly in the middle classes. The garden is analysed in various contexts focusing on a specific female view on gardening as seen in the texts and a growing female self-awareness that results from their involvement with the garden. In making the garden their subject, these writers actively construct notions of male and female. Writing and reading about the garden and the resulting practices are linked to the construction of a female identity and ultimately open up gender roles. The liberating construction of the garden within the texts differs from the conception of other socially accepted areas of female involvement in the period of examination. Received gender roles are neither overtly affirmed nor subversively challenged in the texts. Their approach is more of a subtle reconstruction by offering a new and wider range of activities that acknowledge a female desire for self-determination and fulfilment. In the garden as an allegedly small and restrictive site close to the home, women are able to diversify given stereotypes and take on new roles. Gardening as a leisure or professional occupation therefore holds proto-feminist implications even before the beginning of the First Women’s Movement, so that we can speak of a garden feminism instrumental to a negotiation of female gender roles.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o conceito de autoria no contexto da obra de George Eliot. Para realizá-lo, definiram-se dois aspectos relevantes da atividade do autor. O primeiro deles é sua existência empírica, situada dentro de determinadas práticas, como apontado por Martha Woodmansee, Michel Foucault, Marisa Lajolo e Regina Zilberman. O segundo, seu funcionamento intratextual, como instância discursiva, destilado das teorias enunciativas de Emile Benveniste e das proposições teóricas de Wayne Booth, Umberto Eco e Wolfgang Iser. A partir dessas elaborações, foram desenvolvidas as análises, de um lado, da trajetória de Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot) e seu papel como escritora do final do século XIX, e, de outro, do romance The Mill on the Floss, obra de 1860, na qual se percebe o autor George Eliot em funcionamento. Pode-se notar, através da reconstrução da vida da autora, sua reflexão própria sobre o significado da prática da autoria como missão social. É também notável, através de seu romance, a atuação de uma figura autoral que organiza o texto e encaminha a interpretação de seu leitor para determinadas direções.This work’s objective is to analyze the concept of authorship in the context of George Eliot’s production. In order to do so, two relevant aspects of the author’s activity were defined. The first one is its empirical existence, located within certain practices, as pointed by Martha Woodmansee, Michel Foucault, Marisa Lajolo and Regina Zilberman. The second one, its intratextual operation, as a discoursive instance, distilled from Emile Benveniste’s enunciative theories and from the theoretical propositions of Wayne Booth, Umberto Eco and Wolfgang Iser. These elaborations allowed the development of two analyses: on one hand, of Mary Ann Evans’ (George Eliot’s) trajectory and her role as a late nineteenth century writer, and, on the other, of the novel The Mill on the Floss (1860), in which George Eliot’s authorship is perceived at work. It is noticeable, through the reconstruction of the author’s life, her own reflection on the meaning of authorial practice as a social mission. It is also remarkable, through her novel, the performance o an author figure which organizes the text and directs its reader’s interpretations to determined directions.

Bueno de Rivera’s poems present, on the compound of their characters, a high concern about the ontological factor, always searching for the human being’s description, as by the lyrical view, through intimate and subjective poetry, as on his everyday, exposing him as a being-with-the-others, immersed in society, besides presenting his anguish and piety with the human race’ suffering. This poetry combine with the postulates of Martin Heidegger’s ontological-existencialist philosophy, once it analyses the human being’s life from the point of view of the anguish from the conscience of the death and the quarrel about man, investigating the being-there – term that indicates the human’s existence, as well as with the being-with-the-others –, helping our understanding about the analyzed poet’s thoughts. Trying to comprehend the subjectivity on Rivera’s poems, we will analyze some of the Leitmotive chosen by him to develop his poetry, investigating the symbols and inquiring carefully the ideas. We believe that Bueno de Rivera’s poetry is a permanent searching for the unveiling of the human being from his own and the place in which he is inserted, in an inquisitor looking for everything that transforms him in man, that is, in a being single and social, at once.
A poesia de Bueno de Rivera apresenta, no conjunto de suas características, uma acentuada preocupação com o fator ontológico, buscando sempre retratar o ser humano tanto de forma lírica, através da poesia subjetiva, quanto em seu cotidiano, expondo-o como um ser-com-os-outros, imerso no meio social, além de apresentar as angústias desse homem e o seu compadecimento com o sofrimento da raça humana. Tal poesia coaduna-se com os postulados da filosofia existencial-ontológica de Martin Heidegger, pelo que esta tem de analista da vida humana do ponto de vista da angústia oriunda da consciência da morte e do questionamento sobre o homem, investigando o ser-aí – termo que serve para indicar a existência humana, juntamente com o ser-com-os-outros –, colaborando com a nossa visão acerca do pensamento do poeta mineiro. No intuito de compreender a subjetividade encontrada nos poemas de Rivera, procuramos analisar alguns dos Leitmotive por ele escolhidos para desenvolver o seu fazer poético, perscrutando assim os símbolos e perquirindo as suas idéias. Entendemos ser a poesia de Bueno de Rivera uma constante procura em desvelar o ser humano, a partir de si próprio e do meio em que este está inserido, em uma busca inquisidora de tudo o que o transforma em homem, ou melhor, em um ser, ao mesmo tempo, uno e social.

Full textAbstract:
Comme les œuvres qui le précèdent : Herr Ivan en 1302 et Hertig Fredrik av Normandi en 1308, Flores och Blanzeflor fut composé en vers par un clerc inconnu sur l’ordre de la reine Eufemia de Norvège sans doute à l’occasion du mariage de sa fille Ingeborg avec le duc suédois Erik. La présente thèse propose d’envisager la traduction de Flores och Blanzeflor comme un acte politique de la part d’Eufemia. En offrant ces traductions à sa fille et son futur gendre d’abord, mais aussi plus généralement à l’aristocratie suédoise ensuite, la reine va en effet pouvoir contourner les interdits sociaux liés à son rang et à son genre et faire entendre sa voix dans le conflit qui agite au début du XIVème siècle les aristocraties scandinaves, conflit dont son futur gendre est l’un des acteurs principaux. Le duc Erik et son frère Valdemar étaient en effet engagés depuis les premières années du XIVème siècle dans un conflit de succession avec leur frère Birger, roi de Suède. Les Couronnes de Norvège et de Danemark, par le truchement des alliances, se trouvèrent elles aussi engagées dans la dispute, faisant de ce conflit d’abord interne à l’aristocratie suédoise un conflit pan-scandinave. Si les thèmes de la relation du souverain avec l’aristocratie sont de fait très présents dans Flores och Blanzeflor, le roman ne s’y limite pas, mais aborde aussi des problématiques contemporaines pour l’aristocratie scandinave, notamment la question de la Croisade et de la lutte contre les païens. La présente thèse s’accompagne d’une traduction du texte en français moderne basée sur l’édition du manuscrit Cod. Holm. D 4 par Emil OlsonFlores och Blanzeflor is a 1312 Old Swedish version of the French roman Le Conte de Floire et Blanchefleur. The text is part of the Eufemiavisorna, a group of three continental romans translated into Old Swedish at the beginning of the XIVth century by an unknown cleric on the order of Queen Eufemia of Norway, possibly to celebrate her daughter’s marriage to Duke Erik of Sweden. The present thesis argues that those translations can be read as political acts from Queen Eufemia. The translations allowed her to project her voice in the political space while still conforming to the social norms of her time. Flores och Blanzeflor is as such closely related with the political turmoil that preoccupied the Scandinavian aristocracy at the beginning of the XIVth century, a turmoil centered around the conflict between Duke Erik and his brother Duke Valdemar on one side and their brother King Birger on the other. Flores och Blanzeflor with its insistence on good relations between the king and the aristocracy and its depiction of a peaceful crusade reflects the preoccupations of the Scandinavian aristocracy at the time. The roman’s focus on providing an example of positive conduct with the Blanzeflor character can also be interpreted as a desire from Eufemia to provide her daughter with models of conduct for her future marriage. The present thesis includes a translation of Flores och Blanzeflor into Modern French based on the 1956 edition of Cod. Holm. D4 by Emil Olson

Full textAbstract:
Un tournant s'est opéré dès la fin du XXème siècle dans la littérature hispano-américaine, après quelques tentatives inachevées de recherche d'une « totalité » à travers le mouvement du boom latino-américain des années 60.Une nouvelle littérature postmoderne s'est alors développée, opposée aux objectifs « utopiques » du boom (tel que celui de « roman total », qui embrassait tous les genres, proposait un érotisme exalté, une réflexion métatextuelle et un engagement politique). Les écrivains nés dans les années 1950 se sont appropriés de nouveaux procédés qui visaient à « morceler » la littérature. Parmi ces procédés figurent des voix narratives multiples, des univers parallèles, l'hybridité générique, une écriture « cinématographique » (visuelle et sonore), fragmentée, parsemée d'analepses et de prolepses.Afin de pouvoir analyser les limites de la totalité littéraire – plus précisément, romanesque – et de définir cette écriture postmoderne « éclatée », « antitotale », je me suis centrée sur trois œuvres qui englobent les années 1995-2010, écrites par des auteurs hispano-américains d'origine diverse (bien qu'appartenant à la même génération post-moderne ou post-nationale), imprégnées d'une esthétique propre, mais parsemées de personnages, d'une réflexion sur la littérature et d'une atmosphère/tonalité communs.Le roman fragmentaire, bref et polyphonique Flores (2004), du Mexicain Mario Bellatin, raconte de nombreuses histoires qui s'entrecroisent, dans un espace indéterminé et claustrophobique, dans lesquelles les personnages sont réduits à leur « Corps ».Vidas perpendiculares (2008), du Mexicain Álvaro Enrigue, utilise la même stratégie du « puzzle », de la fragmentation et simultanéité des récits. Ici, le narrateur relate cinq histoires d'amour qui ont marqué la vie d'un même personnage, Jerónimo, sous la forme de « réincarnations » successives, sur un ton ironique et plaisant.Quant au long roman (anti)total et apocalyptique du Chilien Roberto Bolaño, 2666 (2004), il évoque le destin de nombreux personnages – liés dans leur majorité au monde de la littérature- dans la ville fictive de Santa Teresa (Ciudad Juárez).Le Mexicain Jorge Volpi a intitulé l'un de ses articles les plus polémiques « La literatura latinoamericana ya no existe », mais le fait que la littérature se déconstruise, rompe avec les codes qui la définissaient, joue avec eux et/ou les réinvente, n'est-ce pas finalement une forme de littérature (et non pas d'absence de littérature), celle de l'éclatement, de la dislocation ?C'est justement cette nouvelle esthétique qui se cherche, en pleine quête identitaire, qui constitue à mon sens un grand intérêt. Et ce, particulièrement à une époque de « l'entre-deux » (siècles, générations, mondes).Pour approfondir ces aspects de la littérature contemporaine de langue hispanique, je me focaliserai essentiellement sur quatre aspects de l'esthétique élaborée par les écrivains qui conforment mon corpus : je définirai tout d'abord le concepts de totalité, d'unité, de modernité et de postmodernité, essentiels à toute réflexion ultérieure ; puis j'examinerai la structure à la fois totalisante et détotalisante de l'Œuvre de Bolaño, Bellatin et Enrigue ; et enfin, je m'intéresserai à la nature paradoxale et dichotomique de la littérature postmoderne latino-américaine, toujours à travers le prisme des trois auteurs.C'est seulement grâce à une étude comparative, théorique et analytique que je pourrai prétendre apporter un plus au domaine de la critique littéraire. Il s'agit donc pour moi de déterminer les caractéristiques (communes ou différentielles) de la littérature contemporaine, post-moderne, d'en souligner les desseins, les limites et les contradictions, tout en prenant en compte un contexte (politique, social, culturel, économique etc.) de plus en plus (omni)présentA turning point was apparent from the end of the twentieth century in Latin-American literature, after a few uncompleted attempts to search for “totality” through the literary movement of the Latin-American boom of the ‘60s.Then, a new postmodern literature developed, opposed to the “utopian” objectives of the boom (such as the “total novel”, which embraced all the genres, proposed exhilarated eroticism, a metafictional reflection and a political commitment). The writers born in the ‘50s took over new processes which aimed for “dislocate” literature. Among these processes figure numerous narrative voices, parallel universes, generic hybridity, a “cinematic” (visual and sonorous), fragmented writing, scattered with flashbacks and flash-forwards.In order to analyze the limits of literary totality –more accurately, novelistic totality– and to define this postmodern “dislocated”, “antitotal” writing, I focused on three works which cover the years 1995-2010, published by Spanish-American writers from diverse countries (even though they belong to the same postmodern or postnational generation), being spread through a proper aesthetics, but sprinkled with communal characters, reflection on literature and atmosphere/tone.Mario Bellatin's fragmentary, short and polyphonic novel Flores (2004) relates many criss-crossed stories, in an indeterminate and claustrophobic space, in which characters are come down to their “body”.Vidas perpendiculares (2008), by the Mexican Álvaro Enrigue, uses the same strategy as a “puzzle”, as stories' fragmentation and simultaneity. Here, the narrator recounts five love stories which left a mark on the life of one character, Jerónimo, in the form of successive “reincarnations”, on an ironic and pleasant tone.As for the long (anti)total and apocalyptic novel of the Chilean Roberto Bolaño, 2666 (2004), it evokes the destiny of many characters –most of them related to the literary world– in the fictional city of Santa Teresa (Ciudad Juárez).The Mexican Jorge Volpi entitled one of his most polemical article ”La literatura latinoamericana ya no existe”, but the fact that literature disintegrates itself, breaks with the codes that defined itself, plays with them and/or reinvents them, isn't it after all a form of literature (and not of lack of literature), such as the form of splitting, dislocation?It is precisely this new aesthetics that tries to find itself, in pursuit of identity, that constitutes, according to me, a major interest. And even more in an intervening period (between two different centuries, generations, worlds).To deal with these aspects of contemporary Latin-American literature in depth, I will principally focus on four angles of the aesthetics elaborated by the writers of my corpus : I will define first the concepts of totality, unity, modernity and postmodernity, essential to any later reflection ; then, I will examine the structure both totalizing and distotalizing of Bolaño, Bellatin and Enrigue's work ; and finally, I will be interested in the paradoxical and dichotomous nature of postmodern Latin-American literature, always through the prism of the three authors.This is only thanks to a comparative, theoretical and analytical study that I could try to provide the literary criticism field with other approaches. Therefore, I will attempt to determine contemporary, postmodern literature's (differential and similar) features, to underline its intents, limits and contradictions, while I will take a political, social, cultural, economic context each time more (omni)present

Estas obras exploran los temas de la animalización y la máscara social dentro del contexto de la sociedad ecuatoriana de la primera mitad del siglo XX para denunciar el abuso de los indígenas y el trauma del mestizo por tener sangre indígena. Estos dos conceptos se conectan con la noción de la construcción de una verdadera identidad nacional a través del indigenismo y el reconocimiento de la ascendencia nativa.

O objetivo desta tese é, por um lado, abordar a relação entre o corpo e a linguagem a partir das perspectivas da poesia, do teatro e da performance. Por outro lado, propomos que a compreensão de tal campo relacional pode esclarecer pontos em comum entre essas diferentes artes, trazendo uma nova percepção do fenômeno poético. Para tal, fez-se necessário operar um desvio com relação à concepção moderna que entende o corpo enquanto substância material extensa e a linguagem como algo associado à substância subjetiva ideal do pensamento. Pelo contrário, procuramos trabalhar com a hipótese de que corpo e linguagem se encontram em estado de relação senão necessária ao menos constante, valendo-nos da ideia do corpo-em-vida, e da linguagem enquanto ação e enquanto discurso. A análise opera um recorte contemporâneo entre obras que vão das poetas Angélica Freitas e Marília Garcia até a da atriz e encenadora Cristina Flores, e da performer norte-americana Laurie Anderson. A escrita da tese nos levou a uma combinação entre aspectos formais do ensaio e do drama, numa costura de múltiplas vozes, de modo a concretizar o entrelaçamento entre as ideias vividas ao longo da pesquisa e a experiência física da produção do textoThe aim of this work is, on one side, to approach the connection between body and language considering the outlook obtained from pieces of poetry, theater and performance art. On the other side, we suggest that the understanding of such relational space can point to similarities among these different fields of artistic creation, enabling us a new perception of the aesthetics of poetry. To achieve such goal, it was necessary to avoid the modern conceptions of the body as matter, a substance whose main attribute is extension and its possibilities of measurement, and the language as a tool of the mind, associated with conceptual and ideal thinking. On the contrary, we attempt to work with the hypothesis that body and language are if not necessarily at least constantly connected to each other, throughout the concepts of body-in-life and language as action and discourse. The analysis took in consideration an ensemble of contemporary works, from the poets Angélica Freitas and Marília Garcia, to the actress, writer and theater director Cristina Flores, through the North-American performer Laurie Anderson. We found it necessary to formulate a style of writing that entangled formal aspects from the essay and from the drama, in a sort of entangle of distinct voices, in a way that was possible to achieve the connection between the concepts brought to life during the research and the physical experience of elaborating the text

Full textAbstract:
The thesis will examine the influence of Biblical literature on some of the novels of George Eliot. In doing so it will consider the following aspects of Eliot criticism: current theoretical debate about the use of midrash; modes of discourse and narrative style; prophetic language and vision; the influence of Judaism and Jewish exegetical methods on Adam Bede, "The Lifted Veil", The Mill on the Floss, Felix Holt, and Daniel Deronda. Literary critics have, for a long time, been interested in the influence of the Bible and Biblical hermeneutics on literature and the extent to which Biblical narratives and themes are used typologically and allegorically in fiction has been well researched. In this regard, the concept of midrash is not a new one in literary theory. It refers both to a genre of writing and to an ancient Rabbinic method of exegesis. It has, however, been given new meaning by literary critics and theoriticians such as Frank Kermode, Harold Bloom, and Jacques Derrida. In The Genesis of Secrecy, Kermode gives a new nuance to the word and demonstrates how it may be used to read not only Biblical stories but secular literature as well. It is an innovative, self-reflexive, and intricate hermeneutic processs which has been used by scholars such as Geoffrey Hartman and Sanford Budick, editors of Midrash and Literature, a seminal work in this thesis. Eliot's interest in Judaism and her fascination with religion, religious writing, and religious characters are closely connected to her understanding of the novelist's role as an interpreter of stories. In this regard, the prophetic figure as poet, seer, and interpreter of the past, present, and future of society is of special significance. The thesis will investigate Eliot's reinterpretation of this important Biblical type as well as her retelling of Biblical stories. It will attempt to establish the extent to which Eliot's work may be called midrash, and enter the current debate on how and why literary works have been and can be interpreted. It will address the questions of why Eliot, who abjures normative religious faith, has such a profound interest in the Bible, how the Bible serves her creative purposes, why she is interested in Judaism, and to what extent the latter informs and permeates her novels.

Full textAbstract:
English education in Sweden tends to be viewed as a second language, rather than a foreign language. Therefore, it is generally expected that instruction is performed, and content is taught in English. However, previous research shows that English is generally not the sole language used, even in classrooms with explicit “English only” policies. The following essay has investigated how this translates into classroom practice through observations of classroom interactions between students and teachers, as well as between students and students. Three different teachers were observed at two upper secondary schools. Shorter interviews were also conducted with the teachers. The results showed large differences between observations, but some clear trends were observed nonetheless. Socializing and metalanguage were more prevalent than other code-switches among students, while floor-holding was very rare and in most observations, non-existent. All teachers claimed to use English as much as possible although they also recognized the utility of using Swedish as a tool in the classroom. The view that English should be used as the language of instruction to a great extent was additionally observed in teacher interviews. However, there were no categorical opinions arguing for “English only”. The teachers also largely concurred with the use of Swedish, or other first languages as a language of comparison. This was supported by observations in the classrooms and significant differences existed between teachers. An investigation with a larger cohort in this field could be fruitful for future researchers. The results of the study could be used to further examine strategies to find a balance in the classroom between English and Swedish. The differences between classrooms show that there is no clear consensus on the extent of Swedish use in the EFL classroom. In order to improve teaching it is important to know why students use code-switching and in what situations it might be helpful to them, such as in translation or grammatical rules. However, different classrooms may require different approaches, which highlight the importance of discussing these issues.

La parte histórica se ha proyectado a través de Textos Literarios de la Pasión, así como del desarrollo de Cofradías y Hermandades, conformándose de esta forma una visión cultural de la Rememoración de la Pasión , Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo en la Región de Mucia en general y en cada pueblo en particular. La implicación en los actos de Semana Santa que cada pueblo potencia y la presencia cultural que en cada lugar alcanza, revela el compromiso asumido por las gentes, la fe, la devoción y la profunda religiosidad popular que los impulsa.La tesis ha sido estructurada en dos partes; la primera recoge la Semana Santa pueblo a pueblo en la Región de Murcia, y la segunda una visión general de la misma pero a través de los Textos Literarios de la Pasión, incluyendo cuantos hemos hallado. Por tanto, el tema ha sido estudiado desde los comienzos de las manifestaciones pasionarias y cofradieras, que se produjo hacia el comienzo del siglo XV. Los textos han sido presentados agrupándolos por materias y formando con cada una de ellas capítulo propio, entre los que figuran: Publicaciones pasionarias en prensa, Autos de Pasión, Cuentos, Pregones, Vía Crucis, etc. Se da por terminado el trabajo con las correspondientes conclusiones, así como bibliografía consultada.In this thesis, the author has investigated the different Easter processions that take place in each one of the towns/villages in the Murcia region, pointing out how each of them specifically celebrates this holy festivity. All this has been done within the framework provided by cultural traditions, popular religious beliefs, sculptural heritage and the symbolism of specific events such as "El Caracol," performed by the Armaos in Jumilla (Murcia), or "La Caracola," performed by the Armaos in Cieza (Murcia). The more historic analysis has been conducted by means of an in-depth study of literary texts regarding the passion of Christ. Another source used in this thesis has been the study of the development of religious brotherhoods, thus presenting a cultural overview of how the passion of Christ, his death and resurrection are acted out globally in the region and individually in each town. The implications of the different Easter celebrations that each town promotes/enhances, and the cultural relevance that they have within the region, shows how truly devoted, faithful and committed to these traditions the inhabitants of each town are. This thesis has been structured in two main parts: the first one describes the different Easter celebrations that take place in each town in the Murcia region; the second part provides a general/global approach to the Easter celebrations, but this time using all available literary texts dealing with the passion of Christ as the main source, i.e. from the first literary manifestations in the 15th century to the most recent ones. These texts have been classified according to their specific typology, devoting one chapter to each. This includes Easter journalistic publications, passion plays, short stories, religious proclamations, texts featuring the way of the cross narrative, etc. The thesis ends with the corresponding conclusions as well as the list of references used.

Johnson, Gary Wayne. "Connecting Landscapes to People: Assessing the Distribution of Ecosystem Service Flows Using the SPAN Approach." ScholarWorks @ UVM, 2014. http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/graddis/301.
Full textAbstract:
The Service Path Attribution Network (SPAN) framework provides a novel, user-centric, connectivity-based approach to ecosystem service assessment and valuation (ESAV). Ecosystem services are delivered to users through the simulated flow of some service medium (i.e., matter, energy, or information) from the ecosystems in which it originates (sources) to the people or assets which it affects (users). Along the way, the service medium may be absorbed by intervening landscape features (sinks) or captured by rival users.
Crucially, the service medium is not itself an ecosystem service or benefit but rather an agnostic transport mechanism which establishes connectivity between sources, sinks, rival users, and nonrival users within a delimited study region. Each user then receives benefits or harm from the encountered service medium depending on their specific relationship with it. For example, if surface water is the simulated service medium, it may increase productivity at a hydropower plant but damage farmers in floodplains by drowning their crops.
In the SPAN terminology, sources provide provisioning ecosystem services to users with a beneficial relationship with the service medium. Similarly, sinks provide preventive ecosystem services to users with a detrimental relationship with the service medium by reducing the amount flowing to their locations. Notably, within a single SPAN analysis, both sources and sinks may provide ecosystem services given a sufficiently heterogeneous pool of users.
The results of a SPAN ESAV analysis are myriad, totalling up to 30 output maps for some services. Taken together, these maps tell the story of which sources provide services to which users, which sinks protect users from harm, which users compete for the same resources (and who wins), and how all of the sources, sinks, rival users, and nonrival users affect one another. Additionally, a SPAN simulation produces maps of the flow paths taken by the service medium from sources to users as well as where and by how much the flow strength is reduced by sinks. Studying these flow paths can help decision makers identify those locations at which management actions would be maximized or minimized depending on their specific development goals.
A crowning achievement of this work is that for most ecosystem services the SPAN algorithm's complexity is guaranteed to be linear O(n) in both time and space with respect to the number of discrete locations analyzed. This makes it a viable option for high resolution landscape level ESAV studies using no more than commodity hardware.
This dissertation explores the SPAN framework in depth, from its novel conceptual terminology and computational algorithms through to the intended interpretation of its results. In addition to describing the conceptual and mathematical components of this system in detail, this work also provides a complete Literate Program demonstrating the application of the SPAN framework to an assessment of the scenic beauty ecosystem service in Chittenden County, Vermont.

Esta tesis doctoral estudia la circulación de las traducciones literarias en formato libro entre Bulgaria y el mundo hispánico (España e Hispanoamérica) durante el periodo situado entre 1882 y 2012. La investigación se ocupa de tres aspectos de la traducción literaria: 1) los flujos de traducción; 2) el papel y las prácticas de los mediadores culturales —traductores y editores— que favorecieron el intercambio cultural; y 3) los factores culturales, políticos y económicos que determinaron dicho intercambio. Un corpus de traducciones en formato libro de literatura hispánica en lengua búlgara y de literatura búlgara en lengua española, elaborado ad hoc para llevar a cabo el estudio, constituye la base para el análisis cuantitativo de los flujos de traducción. Entrevistas con traductores y editores, así como publicaciones relevantes para el tema forman la base de un análisis cualitativo de los mediadores culturales y de las dimensiones culturales, políticas y económicas de la traducción literaria entre Bulgaria y el mundo hispánico. La tesis está articulada desde la perspectiva de Bulgaria como espacio que exporta e importa literatura de múltiples campos de producción literaria y está dividida en tres periodos claves para el campo cultural y editorial búlgaro, así como con respecto a las relaciones con la cultura hispánica: un primer periodo de contactos iniciales (1882-1947), un periodo de traducción politizada (1948-1989) y un periodo de relaciones post-totalitarias (1990-2012).Aquesta tesi doctoral analitza la circulació de traduccions literàries en format llibre entre Bulgària i el món hispànic (Espanya i Hispanoamèrica) durant el període situat entre 1882 i 2012. La investigació s’ocupa de tres aspectes de la traducció literària: 1) els fluxos de traducció; 2) el paper i les pràctiques dels mediadors culturals —traductors i editors— que van afavorir l’intercanvi cultural; i 3) els factors culturals, polítics i econòmics que van determinar aquest intercanvi. Un corpus de traduccions de literatura hispànica en llengua búlgara i de literatura búlgara en llengua espanyola, construït ad hoc per tal de portar a terme l’estudi, constitueix la base per a l’anàlisi quantitativa dels fluxos de traducció. Entrevistes amb traductors i editors, així com publicacions rellevants per al tema formen la base d’una anàlisi qualitativa dels mediadors culturals i de les dimensiones culturals, polítiques i econòmiques de la traducció literària entre Bulgària i el món hispànic. La tesi s’articula des del punt de vista de Bulgària com a espai de exportació i importació de literatures de múltiples camps de producció literària i es divideix en tres períodes claus per al camp cultural i editorial búlgar, així com pel que fa a les relacions amb la cultura hispànica: un primer període de contactes inicials (1882-1947), un període de traducció polititzada (1948-1989) i un període de relacions post-totalitàries (1990-2012).
This doctoral thesis studies the circulation of literary book translations between Bulgaria and the Hispanic world (comprising Spain and the Spanish speaking countries in South America) from 1882 to 2012. Specifically, the research focuses on three aspects of literary translation: 1) translation flows, 2) the role and practices of cultural mediators—translators and publishers—who enabled the cultural exchange, and 3) the cultural, political, and economic factors which determined said exhange. An ad hoc corpus of book translations of Hispanic literature in Bulgarian language and of Bulgarian literature in Spanish is the basis for quantitative analysis of translation flows. Interviews with translators and publishers, as well as relevant literature and publications, inform qualitative analysis on the subject of cultural mediators and the cultural, political and economic dimensions of literary translation between Bulgaria and the Hispanic world. The study takes the perspective of Bulgaria as an exporter and importer of literature to and from multiple fields of literary production and is divided in three key periods for the Bulgarian cultural and publishing field and with respect to the relations with the Hispanic culture: initial contacts (1882-1947), politicized translation (1948-1989) and post-totalitarian relations (1990-2012).

Full textAbstract:
Austen, Dickens, and Eliot each responded to discussions of their time concerning class, gender, and social change. One of the ways they addressed these issues, and sought to find solutions to the problems facing their culture, was through benevolence. Knightley, in Emma, uses benevolence as a means of mediating self-interest and sympathy. By acting out of sympathy, through benevolence, he achieves the self-interested benefits of reinforcing the class system and achieving his romantic conquests. Likewise, Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby learns how to use benevolence as a means of social mobility from his mentors, the Cheerybles. Throughout Nicholas Nickleby the hero learns how to engage in benevolence out of sympathy, and by doing so he establishes himself as a gentleman and reaps social, economic, and romantic advantages. Eliot's Bob Jakin in The Mill on the Floss engages in benevolence out of true sympathy unhindered by self-interest. His freedom from social constraint and self-interest allows him to truly help Maggie Tulliver when no one else can. These authors' depictions of benevolence all illuminate ways that nineteenth-century literary authors sought to navigate the “Adam Smith Problem" of sympathy vs. self-interest. Benevolence, in these novels, is not disinterested (regardless of their motivation) but is influenced by the character's and author's perception of class, gender, and social change in the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude met à l'épreuve l’hypothèse selon laquelle « pour qu’il y ait « histoire », roman, il faut qu’il y ait obstacle à la réalisation de [l’amor] » (Pierre Gallais). Les obstacles à la (re)constitution du couple amoureux reviennent avec récurrence dans les romans de couple de l’époque médiévale, aussi bien en Orient qu’en Occident, et méritent d’être mis en avant. Les interroger, c’est rappeler que la lecture de Floire et Blanchefleur nous invite, par moments, à le comparer à deux autres intrigues amoureuses : l’une persane (Varqe et Gulšāh), l’autre arabe ('Urwa et 'Afrā’). C’est essayer de découvrir ou redécouvrir les affinités thématiques et les relations de parenté entre ces textes. C’est rappeler que les amours heureuses n’ont pas d’histoire et qu’aimer conduit souvent à s’exposer aux autres, à l’opposition parentale et plus généralement à la société. C’est montrer que l’amour s’accroît avec la séparation et la souffrance. C’est tenter de mettre en relief le paradoxe sur lequel reposent ces romans : l’obstacle, qui à première vue semble inquiéter les couples en herbe et condamner leurs idylles, s’avère finalement un élément indispensable de l’intrigue amoureuse qui ne fait que célébrer l’intrépidité des jeunes amants. C’est montrer que dans ces textes, aucun des obstacles rencontrés ne finit par disjoindre les amants. Enfin, c’est montrer comment les conversions finales, aussi bien individuelles que collectives, finissent par conférer à ces textes une dimension civilisatrice, « une tendance orientalisante », voire « un « orientalisme » romanesque »This study examines the hypothesis according to which “for there to be a “story”, a novel, there needs to be an obstacle hindering the realization of [love]” (Pierre Gallais). The obstacles of the lovers’ union reoccur in love stories from medieval times, as much in the Orient as in the Occident. These obstacles merit being brought to attention. To examine them is to recall that the reading of anonymous French idyll invites us, at times, to compare it to two amorous plots: one being Persian (Varqe and Gulšāh), the other Arabic ('Urwa and 'Afrā’). The thematic affinities between these related texts do not extinguish in any circumstance the originality of each novel. It should be noted that stories are not created from fortunate love and that to love often drives one to expose himself to others, parental opposition and to society. It shows love is only intensified with separation and suffering. It attempts to emphasize the paradox upon which these novels are based: the obstacle, which at first glance appears to worry the aspiring couples and condemn their idyll, decisively proves an indispensable element of the romantic plot which serves only to celebrate the intrepidity of young lovers. It is demonstrated in these texts that none of the obstacles encountered succeed in separating the lovers. Finally, it shows how individual and collective conversions finish by conferring a civilizing dimension to the texts, “an orientalizing tendency”, indeed “a Romanesque ‘Orientalism’”

A proposta deste trabalho é a tradução para o português do romance Les Fleurs bleues, de Raymond Queneau. Trata-se de um romance que oferece resistência à tradução em função do trabalho do autor sobre a língua francesa. Para chegar ao objetivo proposto procedemos a uma historicização da obra de Queneau, de modo a compreendermos seu projeto de inclusão da língua falada na literatura e em todos os campos do conhecimento. A escrita de Queneau é caracterizada por seu estilo impregnado de humor e repleto de elementos de oralidade, em que o significante ganha autonomia: jogos de palavras, trocadilhos, provérbios, rimas, aliterações, o autor lança mão de todos os recursos para sublinhar, com humor, a crise do signo. Procuramos analisar os procedimentos adotados por Queneau e o modo como se manifesta sua escrita em Les Fleurs bleues visando ao estabelecimento de parâmetros que possibilitassem oferecer ao leitor brasileiro uma tradução que lhe permitisse, apesar dos diferentes contextos linguísticos e culturais, uma leitura prazerosa em que ele tenha acesso ao texto de Queneau e acompanhar a narrativa, conservando o jogo de significantes e o humor. Levantamos marcas de oralidade presentes nos sistemas linguísticos francês e português, para chegarmos, finalmente à realização do trabalho tradutório, do qual comentamos as manifestações de oralidade no original e as soluções adotadas para sua restituição em português.The purpose of this work is the Portuguese translation of the novel Les Fleurs bleues, by Raymond Queneau. It is a novel that offers resistance to translation as a function of author\'s work on the French language. To reach the proposed goal, we proceeded to a historicizing of Queneau\'s production, in order to understand his project for inclusion of the spoken language in literature and in all fields of knowledge. Queneau\'s writing is characterized by his style imbued with humor and filled with elements of orality, where significant gains autonomy: wordplay, puns, proverbs, rhymes, alliterations, the author uses all resources to emphasize with humor, the \"crisis of the sign.\" We have analyzed the procedures adopted by Queneau and how his writing manifests in Les Fleurs bleues in order to establish parameters that offers to Brazilian readers a translation that would enables him, despite the different linguistic and cultural contexts, to have an enjoyable read and to access the text of Queneau and follow the narrative, keeping the work of signifiers and the humor. We studied the marks of orality present in French and Portuguese language systems, to arrive finally to perform the work of translation, which we commented on the manifestations of orality in the original and the adopted solutions for restitution in Portuguese.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho aborda a linguagem poética de Alberto Caeiro, poeta fictício criado por Fernando Pessoa, cuja obra está reunida nos títulos O Guardador de Rebanhos, O Pastor Amoroso e Poemas Inconjuntos, a partir da ideia de que seu olhar para o real se constitui num processo de indagação sobre os limites do conhecimento e da constituição da experiência humana da realidade, sobre o signo, sobre a natureza da linguagem poética e da linguagem em geral. Para esta reflexão, uso a Semiótica de Peirce, a Lingüística de Saussure, a teoria da linguagem de Benveniste, a poética das sensações de Fernando Pessoa, trabalhos de Perrone- Moisés, além de outros autores, como Seabra, Dessons e Meschonnic. A poesia de Caeiro é interpretada como um embate com os limites impostos pela mediação sígnica, embate que é ao mesmo tempo metáfora dessa poesia e é metaforizada por ela. Consciente da não transparência da linguagem como retrato do real e do pensamento, Caeiro faz dessa condição assunto e instrumento de seu discurso. Nesse processo, a língua é repensada e refundida em seus fundamentos, indo aos limites de sua capacidade de significação e aos limites entre o que é e o que não é poesia e entre o que é e o que não é língua. A noção de arbitrário do signo linguístico e a dicotomia língua e fala são repensadas, com base na ideia de limitação do arbitrário de Saussure e nas ideias de enunciação e discurso de Benveniste. A poesia de Caeiro é tomada no campo da linguagem, e apresentada como resultado de uma operação de homologia entre língua e outros sistemas, tornando-se assim capaz de evocar seu objeto. O discurso poético é interpretado ainda como um dizer que é fazer, mas não é tão particular a ponto de ser um semântico sem semiótico, pois é arte que se faz na língua, no que difere das artes não verbais. A linguagem poética tem a capacidade de acentuar os traços da linguagem em geral, sendo útil para a compreensão do fenômeno linguístico. Caeiro não é um poeta só de sensações, pois a intelectualização faz parte de sua criação e de sua poesia. Não é também o poeta das coisas: o real não é o objeto dessa poesia; é antes meio para veicular a emoção poética que se constrói, além disso, em seu próprio dizer. Coerente com um sujeito feito de aspectos, que tenta conciliar em si a unidade e a multiplicidade do real, a linguagem de Caeiro é constituída de tensões internas. Discursivo e poético integram o seu dizer. O embate de Caeiro é uma busca, mas ele não encontra a solução. Ele é um intervalo de encantamento.This thesis approaches Alberto Caeiro’s poetry, fictitious poet created by Fernando Pessoa, whose work is gathered into the titles The Keeper of Flocks, The Amorous Shepherd and Detached Poems, from the idea that his looking to the real is a process of inquiry on the limits of knowledge and on the constitution of human experience of reality, on the sign, on the nature of poetic language and of language in general. For this analysis, I use Peirce's Semiotics, Saussure's Linguistics, Benveniste's theory of language, Fernando Pessoa’s poetic of sensations, works of Perrone-Moisés, beyond other authors, as Seabra, Dessons and Meschonnic. Caeiro's poetry is interpreted as a struggle against limits imposed by mediation of the sign, struggle that is metaphor of this poetry, which is also metaphor of that struggle. Aware of the non-transparency of language as photograph of reality and thought, Caeiro makes this condition object and instrument of his speech. In this process, the langue is rethought and recast in its fundamentals, reaching at the limits of its capacity to signify and at the limits between what is and what is not poetry, and between what is and what is not langue. The notion of arbitrary of linguistic sign and the dichotomy of langue and speech are reconsidered, based on the idea of limitation of the arbitrary of Saussure and the ideas of enunciation and discourse of Benveniste. Caeiro's poetry is taken in the field of language, and presented as a result of an operation of homology between langue and other systems, thus being capable of evoking its object. Poetic discourse is still interpreted like a saying that it is doing, but it is not so particular in order to be a semantic without semiotic, because it is art that is made into the langue, which differs from the non-verbal arts. Poetic language has the capacity to accentuate the features of language in general, being useful for understanding the linguistic phenomenon. Caeiro is not only a poet of sensations, because intellectualization makes part of his creation and of his poetry. He is not also the poet of things: the real is not the object of this poetry; it is rather a means to convey the poetic emotion that is built, furthermore, on your own saying. Coherent with a subject made of aspects that attempts to reconcile in him the unity and multiplicity of the real, Caeiro’s language is constituted of internal tensions. Discursive and poetic speeches integrate his saying. The fight of Caeiro is a searching, but he does not find the solution. He is a pause of enchantment.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om skildringen av Black lives matter skiljer sig mellan olika tidningar baserat på dess politiska ställningstagande. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys kommer följande frågeställningar att besvaras; Hur ser språkbruket ut i några mediers rapportering om Black Lives Matter? Finns det systematiska skillnader och likheter i språkbruket för olika medier? Vilka ställningstaganden kan urskiljas i nyhetsrapporteringen? Resultatet visar att Fria tider och the American Spectators rubriker, formuleringar och innehåll visar att det präglats av tidningens politiska färg medan Svenska Dagbladet har en mer neutral rapportering. I diskussionen dras slutsatser om vilka följder observationerna i resultatet kan få i förlängningen. Slutsatserna är att majoriteten av artiklarna publicerade på Fria tider och The American Spectator visade på språklig systematik där värdeord och formuleringar användes vilket hade en påverkan över nyhetsrapporteringen då den blev mindre objektiv samt tydde på politiskt ställningstagande i många av artiklarna. I Svenska Dagbladet fanns inte samma språkliga systematik innehållande värdeord eller tendensiösa formuleringar. Språket hade en stor påverkan över helhetsintrycket av artiklarna och med tanke på att sammanhanget är nyhetsrapportering krävdes det få ord eller formuleringar för att urskilja värderingar och urskilja ställningstaganden.

Full textAbstract:
It is now broadly accepted that Vaughan Williams's music betrays a more complex relation to national influences than has traditionally been assumed. It is argued in this thesis that despite the trends towards revisionism that have characterized recent work, Vaughan Williams's interest in and engagement with English folk materials and cultures remains only partially understood. Offering contextual interpretation of materials newly available in the field, my work takes as its point of departure the critical neglect surrounding Vaughan Williams's contradictory compositional debut, in which he denounced the value of folk song in English art music in an article published alongside his song 'Linden Lea', subtitled 'A Dorset Folk Song'. Reconstructing the under-documented years of the composer's early career, it is demonstrated that Vaughan Williams's subsequent 'conversion' and lifelong attachment to folk song emerged as part of a broader concern with the intelligible and participatory quality of song and its performance by the human voice. As such, it is argued that the ways in which this composer theorized an idea of 'song' illuminate a powerful perspective from which to re-consider the propositions of his project for a national music. Locating Vaughan Williams's writings within contemporaneous cultural ideas and practices surrounding 'song', 'voice', and 'Englishness', this work brings such contexts into dialogue with readings of various of the composer's works, composed both before and after the First World War. It is demonstrated in this way that the rehabilitation of Vaughan Williams's music and reputation profitably proceeds by reconstructing a complex dialogue between his writings; between various cultural ideas and practices of English music; between the reception of his works by contemporaneous critics; and crucially, by considering the propositions of his music as explored through analysis. Ultimately, this thesis contends that Vaughan Williams's music often betrays a complex and self-conscious performance of cultural ideas of national identity, negotiating an optimistic or otherwise ambivalent relationship to an English musical tradition that is constructed and referenced through a particular idea of song.
