Ballardini, Anny. "Ghost Dance in 31 Movements." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2008. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/826.
Full textAbstract:
A kind of poetry that tries to understand contemporary social and philosophical issues as much as behaviors by rewriting in a poetic language the video artwork of some of the main representatives of modernism and postmodernism. Such poetry is deprived of confessional hues, any personal reference has to be ascribed to a mirroring effect by which the single person empathically absorbs and projects what is conveyed, be it stemming directly from the historical time of the artwork's making and inherited, or alive at the time of its actual viewing. By following a restructuring process started at the beginning of the twentieth century, the writing analyzes possible ways to outline developments or to underline breaking points. Poetry is seen as an active medium within the formation of societies characterized as it is by its highly introspective power, not restricted to the individual but open to all beings perceived as members of one entity.

STRONG, WILLIAM FREDERICK. "MARK TWAIN'S SPEAKING IN THE DARK YEARS (COMMUNICATION, RHETORIC, MOVEMENTS)." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1985. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/188015.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines Mark Twain's use of the spoken word in the last decade of his life. It includes Twain's informal readings, his image manipulation and control, his rhetorical speaking, his methods of speech preparation, and his dictation of the autobiography. Twain's use of oral interpretation is examined demonstrating the influence of the Reading Tour of 1884-1885. He read informally for personal delight and to edit his works. A large part of the dissertation is devoted to the long history of the Twain persona. Particularly does this study focus on Twain's rhetorical persona and the means by which he attempted to maintain the historical Mark Twain while expanding his role to that of political activist. Using a Burkean perspective, Twain's anti-imperialist rhetoric is analyzed. His private philosophy dictated the use of two ratios. Though he did not successfully defeat the imperialists, he was effective in rallying and unifying the anti-imperialist forces. The final portion of this work investigates Twain's participation in the effective campaign to dethrone Richard Croker and Tammany Hall. Attention is also given to Twain's seventieth birthday speech, and his lecture-like dictation of his autobiography. This dissertation concludes that in his final years Twain found happiness in the spoken word, that mode of communication on which he built his career.

Full textAbstract:
The present study focuses on Escritos para desocupados (Writings for the Unoccupied), a 2013 work by Mexican author Vivian Abenshushan, as a multifaceted book that poses challenges for literary studies, book studies, and the reader in general. From a textual perspective, Escritos para desocupados is a shape-shifter. That is, depending on how the reader accesses its content, it can be a blog-book, a web-book, a printed book or a digital PDF-book. Using a term coined by the author, the "augmented book," I seek to encompass a phenomenon that is no longer unusual, the publication of a text in different media. Using Roger Chartier's Forms and Meanings: Texts, Performances and Audiences from Codex to Computer (1995), and N. Katherine Hayles's Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (2008), the present study reworks and builds upon Abenshushan's term "augmented book" to reflect the transformation suffered by the text, and expands upon this new perspective to offer three basic modes of augmentation: through content, through formats, and through reading. Drawing on these forms of augmentation, and adding a more literary perspective, after reviewing the characteristics of two Avant-garde and post-Avant-garde literary movements in Mexico, as well as their primary characteristics, the findings suggest that Escritos para desocupados could be considered the manifesto to a new post-Avant-garde literary movement in Mexico, under the proposed name of movimiento desocupado (Unoccupied Movement).

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa buscou analisar a formação dos mais significativos movimentos beletrítiscos acontecidos no Ceará, sobretudo, o movimento dos padeiros, surgido em 30 de maio de 1892. O sentido de toda um agitação literária no Ceará, daí um certo teor gregário resultando assim na formação de grupos ou rodas literárias se deve em grande parte pelo objetivo dos homens de letras de adentrar a imprensa jornalística ou a acomodação nas repartições públicas , haja vista as atividades letradas servirem como forma de ascensão sócio-economica. Diferente da Mocidade Cearense comprometida com os interesses econômicos dos emergentes setores urbanos e de estreita ligação com as tradicionais oligarquias rurais, o grupo dos padeiros, oriundo dos Novos do Ceará diferente do arsenal teórico científico pautado nas idéias positivas e evolutivas iria propor um novo projeto literário baseado nos valores e hábitos do \"tipo\" campestre, heróico e valente. O movimento literário e artístico dos artistas padeiros seria uma \"cousa nova\", fugindo, pois, das formalidades científicas e bacharelescas dos tantos outros movimentos acontecidos anteriormente. De forte caráter boêmio e pilhérico o movimento dos padeiros causou \"escândalo\" numa pacata e provinciana Fortaleza de então, acostumada à seca, à pilheria e ao aluá. Se contrapondo ao projeto literário da velha Mocidade comprometida com a estrutura burguesa de raiz européia, a Padaria Espiritual prometia falar a linguagem do universo de hábitos e valores do povo cearense em contraposição ao mundo liberal e burguês das classes médias e altas que experimentam o diaa- dia dos grandes centros urbanos com suas relações viciosas ou degenerativas, o que não acontecia com as relações nada formais do homem puro e ingênuo que reside no campo.Portanto, o movimento dos padeiros iria se contrapor de forma retórica à burguesia, classe responsável pela disseminação de um conjunto de normas e valores que carrearam todo um processo de significativas mudanças econômicas festejadas pelas idéias de \"civilização\" e de \"progresso\" em detrimento da cultura maior da população pobre e humilde desassistida das míninas condições de sobrevivência.This study aimed at analyzing the origin of one of the most significant literary movements ever appeared in Ceará, namely that of the \"bakers\", started on May 30th, 1892. The literary frenzy in Ceará and the social nature of this movement, resulting in the formation of literary groups or circles, is due to a large extent to the the interest of those men of letters in entering the field of journalism or finding a public job, for the scholarly activities were seen at the time as a path to socio-economic growth. The \"bakers\" group differed from the Mocidade Cearense (Ceará Youth) movement, which was committed to promoting the emerging urban sectors economic interests and bore close links with the traditional agricultural oligarchies, making use of a scientific theoretical background based on positivist and evolutionist ideas. On the other hand, the members of the \"bakers\" movement, which derived from the Novos do Ceará (Ceará Youngsters) group, adopted a new literary project based on the values and habits of the heroic and brave countryside men. The literary and artistic movement of the \"bakers\" searched to find \"something new\", therefore moving away from the scientific and scholarly formalities which characterized many prior movements. Its strong bohemian and witty character caused outrage in the calm and provician Fortaleza of the time, used to no kore than droughts, humour and \"aluá\". In contrast with the literary project of the old Youth, which searched to preserve the european bourgeois structure of the State of Ceará, the Padaria Espiritual (Spiritual Bakery) promised to speak the language of the universe of habits and values of the people of Ceará, opposing the liberal and bourgeois world of the middle and upper classes that lived in the great urban centers and experience its vicious or degenerative relations, while the countryside man remained pure and innocent in his all but formal relations. Therefore, the \"bakers\" movement rhetorically opposed the bourgeoisie, responsible for the dissemination of a set of norms and values that started a process of significant economic changes linked to the ideas of \"civilization\" and \"progress\" and that were very well received, in detriment of the culture of the poor and humble population lacking the minimal survival conditions.

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar as movimentações de Luiz Ruffato no campo literário brasileiro, norteando-se pela maneira como o escritor situa nesse espaço o Inferno provisório, conjunto de livros por ele publicado entre 2005 e 2011. O que se pretende aqui é um estudo de trajetória, a fim de que se possa esmiuçar as tomadas de posição do escritor no campo literário em que ele se insere e no qual tenta instituir uma posição particular. O trabalho dividir-se-á em cinco capítulos. No primeiro, buscamos averiguar o processo de formação do escritor, investigando como se dá a incorporação de certos habitus e a possível transformação desses em prática artística. Para isso, analisamos relatos em tons autobiográficos com que Ruffato se insere no campo, textos públicos (entrevistas e depoimentos) através dos quais o autor se posiciona, construindo para si uma autoimagem sobre cujas características básicas refletiremos. Pesam também nesse estudo sobre a formação de Luiz Ruffato como escritor as primeiras incursões literárias profissionais, tímidos passos no campo literário, mas que já revelam procedimentos e posicionamentos a serem potencializadas em momentos futuros de sua trajetória. No segundo capítulo, buscaremos compreender como se dá o início da trajetória profissional do autor, analisando seus três primeiros livros. Neste capítulo em especial, interessar-nos-á as estratégias adotadas pelo autor para inserir suas obras, as relações e aproximações com séries literárias várias que ele vai facultando a fim de criar para si uma posição particular, a maneira como o produtor movimenta-se no campo. O terceiro capítulo já estabelece o estudo em diálogo com o Inferno provisório. Nele, o mesmo tipo de análise desenvolvido no segundo capítulo é agora articulado à pentalogia desenvolvida pelo autor entre 2005 e 2011. Analisamos, sobretudo, a presença desse projeto literário em textos públicos que datam do fim da década de 1990, sopesando seus traços mais marcantes, seus desvios de rota e a relação entre tais movimentos e os lugares que o escritor vai ocupando no campo de produção. Já os dois últimos capítulos desta tese objetivam analisar os movimentos de Luiz Ruffato na própria escrita do Inferno provisório. Lendo os cinco volumes da pentalogia, buscamos averiguar se há possibilidade de a escrita conservar traços de outras tomadas de posição do escritor, o trânsito que ele estabelece no campo literário, a autoimagem que vai construindo para si e o lugar específico que tenta criar para seu nome.
The current task aims to analyze how Luiz Ruffato moves himself at Brazilian’s literary field studying how the writer situates Inferno provisório, books set released by the author between 2005 and 2011, in this space. What is intended here is an study about a writer’s trajectory, in order to read his stances and a particular position that he tries to institute. The task is divided in five chapters. In the first one, we seek to ascertain the writer’s formation process, investigating his incorporation of habitus and its possible formulation on artistic practices. For doing this, we analyze autobiographical reports with which Ruffato inserts himself on the literary field, public texts (interviews and statements) through which the author establishes a position; building a self image on whose basic characteristics we shall reflect. It’s also important for the study about Ruffato’s formation process, his first literary experiments, first steps on the literary field that, however, reveals procedures and position that will be potentiated in future moments. On the second chapter, we’ll try to understand the beginning of Ruffato’s professional trajectory analyzing his first three books. On this chapter, the strategies that the author adopts do insert his work on the literary field interest us, the relations and approximations with literary series that he provides in order to create a singular position, how the author build movementes. The third chapter establishes a relation with Inferno provisório. In this point, our goal is to maintain the type of analysis present in the second chapter, but now with the set of books published between 2005 and 2011. About everything, we analyze the presence of the project in public texts in the late 1990’s, positioning its remarkable features, detours and the places that the author occupies in the production field. The last two chapters search to reveal Ruffato´s movements in Inferno provisório’s writing. Reading the five volumes of the set we try to ascertain if there is a possibility for the literary writing to be considered as a carrier of author’s positioning, the place that he tries to occupy on literary field, the self image that he builds to conclude this objective.

Luppe, Kathy S. "The Effects of Movement on Literacy." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2007. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2104.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to extend the knowledge of the relationship between movement and cognition by examining the impact of a sensory-motor program on the literacy skills of first grade learners from one elementary school in East Tennessee.
Literacy skills were evaluated using five subtests of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessment.
A 2 x 2 x 2 mixed factorial MANOVA was used to analyze group, gender, and test time effects on multiple dependent variables. The analysis yielded a statistically significant result (p < .05) in gains for the movement group and a significant interaction between gender and group. Post hoc analysis indicated that participation in a movement program appeared to negatively impact males and positively impact females.
Replication of this study with a longer duration is strongly recommended to substantiate these findings.

Ravenhill, Edward. "Movement literacy : creating a healing encounter in physical education." Thesis, University of Gloucestershire, 2012. http://eprints.glos.ac.uk/1227/.
Full textAbstract:
Modern Physical Education (PE) administered systemic models of teaching crafts. It atrophied the play element in human nature, and shaped a single-lens attitude to the treatment of bodies. Framing minds, it veiled the conditions of learning processes and thus “instituted” the sovereignty of subjective concerns. It created many unexplained “gaps” between abstract concerns and pragmatic issues. Following language’s poststructural analysis, PE’s professional communication practices were exposed to alternative methodological refocusing from conforming to move to personalise the agent’s experience in moving to learn. In the wake of poststructuralism came Whitehead’s Physical Literacy (PL) which I adopt as “leitmotif” to reform PE’s teacher preparation and schooling practices. PL addresses children up to 14 years. For older pupils, PL’s language needs to constitute versions of human purposes voiced by the introduction of a new development called “Movement Literacy” (ML). ML acknowledges that language and movement are very different forms of “self-expression”. By itself however, self-expression is inadequate when it comes to learning how to learn. Critical dialogue needs to be brought in to facilitate meaningful innovation in the PE world. By employing the philosophies of phenomenology and hermeneutics I make a case that expression in languaging movement [subjecting the agent’s account to hermeneutic treatment] is expression for others, and in exchange with others the expression is redefined, and changes the way one sees and talks about movement and about oneself. In its reflective practice, reverentially, ML will also unpack pedagogy’s hidden protocol, hoping to reclaim PE’s authentic purpose. It connects secular matters with sacred implications by reconciling the polemic differences between “techne” [purpose] and “phronesis ” [prudence]. With limited reference to Eastern “selflessness” ML advances teaching, through pedagogy and andragogy as a life-time mission. Not providing answers, the thesis offers a manifesto attempting to facilitate new questions such as: how can language and movement communicate? and how can movement educators “minister” to their learner’s sense of well-being?

Full textAbstract:
The coup d'etat of Jiang Jieshi in 1927 brought a sudden end to the first united front between the KMT and the CCP. From then on, the Communist Party was driven underground and survived only with great difficulties, until the second united front was formed in 1937. Yet within the same period, we saw the emergence and growth of concerted left-wing activity in the literary arena. The present thesis is an attempt to look into the background, the development as well as the outcome of this movement, with special reference to the Chinese League of Left-wing Writers, an organization formed in 1930 under the direction and control of the CCP. It covers the period known as "The Left League Decade" in modern Chinese literary history. The thesis is in three parts. Part one discusses the pre-League period, the years before the formation of the League. It deals mainly with the revolutionary literary movement in 1927-28, which in fact consisted of a polemic between the ultra-left, the left and the right over the issue of revolutionary literature. The steps taken for the formation of the united front among the left after this heated debate are analyzed. Part two, which comprises four chapters, is on the League itself. The first is a general survey of the formation, membership and structure of the organization. The second and third chapters discuss the achievements of the League in the first half of its existence. The League then began to decline from 1934 onwards. The internal conflicts which finally led to the alienation of its chief leader and the "giant" of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun, are presented in great detail in the last chapter of part two. Part three traces and gives an account of the dissolution of the organization and the subsequent Two Slogan Polemic in 1936 over the action to be taken in the new political situation. The relationship between the polemic and the developments in politics takes up a considerable portion of the discussion. Before closing the thesis, an epilogue is attached which looks at the Left League and the left wing literary movement of the thirties in their historical context. It also includes a review of their appraisal in the mainland after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

Resumo: Este trabalho propõe-se analisar a trajetória do escritor senegalês Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906-2001) no que tange à criação e participação ativa no movimento artístico e literário conhecido como Negritude. As movimentações literárias dos escritores norte-americanos e a valorização das formas de arte associadas ao negro-africano serão fundamentais para a formação dos alicerces teóricos da Negritude. A escolha da obra de Senghor "Liberté I: Négritude et Humanisme? contém interpretações importantes do seu pensamento na defesa e divulgação dos valores dos povos negro-africanos. Através desta obra se pretende compreender melhor o que foi o movimento da Negritude e o que ele representou para os escritores negros perante a realidade colonial francesa. Diante disso, este trabalho propõe um recorte temático temporal que vai de 1920 até 1945, quando Senghor e os próprios criadores da Negritude direcionam o conceito e a noção de negritude como sendo algo que vai legitimar a luta política em oposição ao colonialismo francês
Resumé: L'objectif de ce travail est d'analyser la trajectoire de l'écrivain sénégalais Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906-2001) en ce qui concerne sa création et engagement au mouvement artistique et littéraire connu sous le nom de Négritude. La prise de conscience des écrivains nord-américains et la valorisation de toutes les formes d'art liées au noir-africain seront mise en étude comme la base théorique de la Négritude. L'oeuvre de Senghor "Liberté I: Négritude et Humanisme? montre des interprétations importantes de sa pensée en défense et diffusion des valeurs des peuples Noirs africains. A partir de cette oeuvre, on cherche à mieux comprendre le mouvement de la Négritude et son importance par rapport aux écrivains noirs du contexte colonial français. Ainsi, ce travail propose un extrait thématique de 1920 jusqu'à 1945, quand Senghor et les créateurs de la Négritude mènent le concept et la notion de négritude vers la légitimation de la lutte politique en opposition au colonialisme français
Abstract: This study proposes to examine the trajectory of the Senegalese writer Leopold Sedar Senghor (1906-200 I) regarding the establishment and active participation in artistic and literary movement known as Blackness. The awareness of North-American writers and appreciation of art forms associated with black African will be related to the theoretical foundations of Blackness. The choice of the masterpiece of Senghor 'Liberti 1: Negritude et Humanisme' contains important interpretations of his thought in upholding and disseminating the values of the Black African people. Through this work is intended to better understand what was the Blackness movement and what he represented for black writers before the French colonial reality. Thus, this paper proposes a temporal thematic focus that goes from 1920 until1945, when Senghor and the creators themselves drive the concept of Blackness and the notion of blackness as something that will legitimize the political struggle in opposition to French colonialism

Media & CommunicationPh.D.
This dissertation contributes to the history of media literacy by tracing the emergence and development of media literacy concepts and practices in Media&Values magazine (1977-1993), which spoke across discourse communities of scholars, teachers, activists and media professionals to build a media literacy movement in the United States. Media literacy evolved in changing contexts of media studies and education discourses as well as changes in media technologies, industries, politics, and popular culture. Taking a genealogical approach to historical inquiry, this study uses discourse analysis to describe how Media&Values constructed media literacy as a means for reform, as a practice of understanding representation and reality, and as pedagogy of social analysis and inquiry. These constructions position media literacy as interventions in power, articulating agency through addressing institutions, demystifying ideology, and negotiating identities. This history provides perspective on debates across diverse strands of practice in the current field of media literacy education.

Full textAbstract:
Emerging organically in the 1960s and soon incorporated into the revolutionary leadership‟s official drive to democratise culture, the Cuban talleres literarios have expanded over the decades into a significant literary movement based on grassroots participation. In 2009, the municipio-based talleres literarios, open to mass participation, engaged over 40,000 talleristas in creating their own literature, with a smaller number involved in more specialised talleres literarios de vanguardia, including the one based within the Centro de Formación Literaria Onelio Jorge Cardoso, a national institution for young writers of narrative fiction. This thesis analyses this unique and under-researched cultural movement by placing it within its historical context and using the notion of Cuban cultural citizenship in order to assess its impact. It contends that the talleres literarios in Cuba, by acting as literary public spheres, have provided a broad range of people with the opportunity to gain and enact cultural citizenship, thus endowing the movement with a political and social significance which has largely been ignored by academic literature. The shared experience of the talleres literarios has formed Cuban cultural citizens who not only are invested in some of the core values of the revolutionary process, but who also have the tools and space with which to participate actively in the construction of meanings. In this way, Cuban cultural citizens formed within the talleres literarios benefit individually through gaining a sense of belonging to, and empowerment in, the literary world, whilst also contributing to the evolution of cubanía revolucionaria and the ongoing negotiation of revolutionary hegemony. The thesis follows the recent work on Cuban culture which rejects the liberal assumptions that the cultural and political spheres should not mix and that civil society and the state are two distinct and oppositional entities. Instead, it uses the conceptual framework of cultural citizenship, which is based on the theoretical premise that culture and politics are inseparable, in order to approach critically the talleres literarios as sites for cultural participation. It offers a detailed history of the movement, from its origins to the present day, as well as an evaluation of the shared experience of talleristas based on the voices of participants from different periods and levels of the movement. By focussing on an outcome of cultural democratisation, the thesis poses a challenge to conventional accounts of revolutionary cultural policy and literature. It argues that cultural policy should be viewed as a productive as well as regulatory force, because the talleres literarios have been instrumental in creating a broad and inclusive literary culture which emphasises dialogic communication and active, public participation. The cultural citizenship attainable in the talleres literarios has provided the initial phase in the literary education of many established writers, fostered personal relationships between them, and facilitated the circulation of diverse ideas. Finally, the notion of cultural citizenship also adds a further dimension to the already broad field of research on participation and political culture. This case study of the talleres literarios follows the approach to participation that views it not in terms of top-down control or achievement of consensus but as a process by which shared meanings are both reinforced and new ones created as society and state interact within institutional frameworks.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the life and work of Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai, one of the foremost African woman rhetors of our time. Wangari Maathai--founder of Kenya's Green Belt Movement (GBM), Member of Parliament, and activist for democracy, sustainable development, and human rights--has cultivated a multidimensional literacy that has allowed her to truly understand and address the problems that post-colonial Kenyans face. Her strong solution-oriented approach has allowed her to develop and refine operation of the GBM, which began simply planting trees, to produce a worldwide organization that works for sustainable development, human rights, and environmental conservation/restoration (among many others) by attacking the roots of disempowerment and challenging participants to become the primary agents of change. Through the overlapping lenses of Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Jacqueline Jones Royster's Traces of a Stream, and Filomina Chioma Steady's Women and Collective Action in Africa, I trace Maathai's emergence as a literate women in late 20th century Kenya who is able to effect meaningful social change. This examination of her life and work uncovers the convergence of literacies (academic, critical, civic, and cultural) that have created her unique worldview. Furthermore, it also examines her rhetorical construction of self through an analysis of her context, her ethos construction, and her mandates for action. At the heart of the study is an exploration of the GBM as an outlet of civic and environmental education. This discussion explores Maathai's approach to civic education as well as the potential pedagogical implications of that approach in the composition classroom of the Western university.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
En la presente tesis se procura demostrar cómo la unidad de la obra literaria de Juan José Saer solo puede ser entendida como una tendencia, una aproximación hacia uno de los polos del conflicto trágico en que consiste la escritura. De un extremo se encuentra la posibilidad de ser de la escritura que pasa por la constitución de un conjunto ordenado, por la organización estructurada de los componentes narrativos, por la formación de un cosmos provisorio; del otro extremo, se halla la posibilidad de no ser de la escritura, es decir, la apariencia de lo escrito como un conjunto anárquico, desarticulado, caótico, cuyos componentes no alcanzan a cuajar en una totalidad aglutinante. Para demostrar el carácter trágico de la escritura se trata de descender al nivel de los componentes, de indagar en la semilla o en el primordio de la escritura para explicar el origen de esa tensión problemática. Con este propósito, estudiamos las distintas categorías de la narración y su ordenación en tres unidades: unidad de tiempo, unidad de lugar y unidad de objeto (que sustituye y comprende a la de personaje).
En los apartados dedicados a las dos primeras categorías, se postula que para que la narración pueda gestarse deben darse dos condicionantes de tipo mágico: la recuperación de un tiempo y de unos lugares originales con los que poder restituir el pasado y materializar el recuerdo. La unidad narrativa del conjunto depende de ello. Sin embargo, el retorno es doloroso y difícil dada la cualidad traumática del recuerdo para el narrador. El conflicto que desencadena afecta también a la escritura que materializa un mundo imaginario con vacilaciones. Así, en la revelación o la epifanía del lugar natal, del espacio familiar a la conciencia, gracias a una serie de operaciones simbólicas, se nos presenta el lugar como un espacio materno, asolado, desértico y atroz, un lugar arrasado que es como el negativo de la imagen que se esperaba encontrar. Por ello, en cierto sentido, la epifanía del lugar coincide con su desaparición y la tentativa de reencuentro con las raíces o con las primicias, el movimiento de regresión del individuo o, también, el viaje de vuelta desde el exilio, termina en un descubrimiento decepcionante para el narrador que en lugar de la tierra que se prometía constata el vacío afectivo o el lugar vacío de los orígenes. El movimiento de regreso (en el tiempo, en el espacio) que coincide con el desarrollo de la narración se perfila entonces como una vuelta completa, como un enorme rodeo que desbarata cualquier ilusión de progreso, lo que en el plano narrativo equivale a constatar al término del relato la nada originaria desde la que parte toda narración, como si nada hubiera sucedido.
El resultado de este rodeo es que las categorías temporales y espaciales terminan por descubrir su futilidad. Se niega la progresión de la intriga y se anula el componente épico de la novela. Por una parte, la circularidad de los acontecimientos se opone al trascurso del tiempo narrativo y cuestiona la misma categoría temporal; por otra parte, el constante regreso al lugar único del recuerdo, que en realidad nunca se ha abandonado, hace irrisoria la misma idea del desplazamiento: el movimiento es una superchería, un autoengaño que termina por ser revelado. Para una sabiduría contraria a la épica, el viaje deja de ser significativo. No tiene valor. Y, así, las categorías espaciales y temporales son cuestionadas, relativizadas y finalmente negadas.
El objeto narrativo es la tercera categoría sometida a estudio. Su importancia en la obra de Saer tiene que ver con la influencia del Nouveau Roman, pero trasciende el estrecho coto del movimiento francés para marcar un camino personal que lo supera en complejidad. Se trata de la categoría reina en una novela en que las descripciones empantanan la narración, la acción y la trama, y en que los personajes son absorbidos por un entorno cosista. De modo paralelo a los apartados referentes a las unidades espaciales y temporales, se estudia la unidad de objeto, esto es: cómo se estructura, ordena y asienta el objeto en la narración, cómo pasa a formar parte de un conjunto ordenado de cosas, de un sistema totalizador.
El estudio de la categoría de objeto en la obra de Saer, viene precedido de un epígrafe en el que se historia la noción de objeto en las novelas, poemas y ensayos de algunos autores que le influyeron decisivamente. Se aportan referencias sobre Robbe-Grillet, Roland Barthes, Francis Ponge y también otras sobre el surrealismo y las novelas de la existencia en las que el objeto empieza a cobrar importancia, desplazando a la categoría de personaje. Los textos ensayísticos de Viktor Shklovski, Theodor Adorno y Roland Barthes sirven de apoyo en la investigación. Los distintos análisis de las narraciones demuestran, siguiendo a Shklovski, que un objeto resulta más visible y novedoso cuanto más extraño es respecto al conjunto en el que se halla insertado. Por el contrario, la falta de visibilidad del objeto, su particularismo, su novedad y su alcance artístico se apagan cuanto más homogéneo resulta el conjunto narrativo del que forma parte. Con esta hipótesis de alcances generales se explican en Saer aspectos aparentemente heterogéneos. Por ejemplo, la postura crítica que mantiene contra los medios de comunicación masiva, que sustituyen el objeto así como su particularismo diferenciador por un simulacro, lo transforman en imagen o en medio de comunicación masiva. Por ejemplo, también, su distancia crítica, análoga de la de Robbe-Grillet, hacia el uso del simbolismo y hacia la profundidad metafísica del objeto, porque el símbolo traiciona lo característico del objeto para convertirlo en un universal o en la cifra del mundo entero. El objeto, entonces, encuentra alterada su naturaleza cuando es transformado en una imagen o en un cliché por los medios de comunicación masiva, o bien, en un símbolo, por ciertas prácticas narrativas. Son dos casos de los cuatro contemplados pero bastan para formular la paradoja que esconden. Si el objeto desaparece cuando aspira a la totalidad (por distintos cauces, mediante el símbolo, el cliché, la imagen, el prototipo, etc.) porque pierde el particularismo que lo diferencia del resto de objetos, la unidad de objeto es un imposible o, al menos, una búsqueda continua del límite en el que pueda coexistir la integridad del objeto con su integración en un conjunto narrativo.
Se deduce de lo anterior la reproducción de un mismo conflicto en el seno de las tres categorías. La imagen de plenitud a la que se aspira con las tres unidades (tiempo, lugar, objeto) coincide con su negación. La unidad de tiempo que supone el reconocimiento de una repetición invariable o de una rutina cíclica de los acontecimientos, lleva consigo la postulación imposible de una ‘acronía’ de lo narrado. La unidad de lugar entendida como la proyección de un lugar arcádico o arquetípico, que es la esencia o la idea platónica de todos los lugares, se descubre como un ‘no lugar’ o una utopía de imposible alcance. Y la unidad de objeto, en fin, la inserción del mismo en un conjunto ordenado y sistemático, significa su desaparición o la ocultación de la singularidad que lo caracteriza. Tal componente de negatividad es constitutivo de la escritura de Saer, y queda así expuesto en tres fases o en tres negaciones sucesivas.This doctoral thesis aims to demonstrate how the unity of the literary work of Juan José Saer can only be understood as an approach to each of the poles of the tragic conflict that involves writing. On one side, there is the chance to consolidate the narrative components in a structured organization, to assemble them in a whole. On the other side, there is the appearance of the work as a chaotic and inarticulate set of narrative components. To demonstrate the tragic nature of writing, we analyze the different categories of narrative and their planning into three units (that recalls the classical unities): unity of time, unity of place and what we call ‘unity of object’. The formation of each unity repeats the same conflict. The image of wholeness to which aspires with the three unities (time, place, object) coincides with its denial. Firstly, the unity of time is a recognition, a repetition of the same or a routine of cyclical events. That repetition (or ‘acronia’) involves the futility of the category of time. Secondly, the unity of place is understood in the works as a projection of an archetypical place, an Arcady, that is discovered at the same time as a ‘non-place’ or an impossible ‘Utopia’. And, lastly, the unity of objects involves the inclusion of each object in a general view or in a panorama that neglects his peculiarities or his uniqueness and brings, as a consequence, his disappearance. Therefore, the three unities that organize the narrative of Saer are at the same time three denials and his literary work finds profound meaning as an art of litotes.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation demonstrates that Sarah Orne Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), Mary Hunter Austin’s The Land of Little Rain (1906), Kate Chopin’s The Awakening (1899), and Mary Wilkins Freemans The Portion of Labor (1903) exemplify the radical politics and aesthetics that late nineteenth-century literary regionalism shares with the Arts and Crafts Movement. Despite considerable feminist critical accomplishments, scholarship on regionalism has yet to relate its rural folkways, feminine aesthetics, and anti-urban stance to similar ideals in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Jewett, Austin, Chopin, and Freeman all depict the challenges of the regional woman artist in order to oppose the uniformity and conventionality of urban modernity. They were not alone in engaging these concerns: they shared these interests with period feminists, sexual radicals, and advocates of the Arts and Crafts Movement like John Ruskin and William Morris, all of whom deeply questioned industrial capitalism and modernization.
Jewett, Austin, Chopin, and Freeman envisioned women’s Arts and Crafts communities that appealed to readers through narratives that detailed the potential uniqueness of homemade decorative arts and other aspects of women’s material culture. For Arts and Crafts advocates and regionalists, handcrafted goods made using local folk methods and natural materials fulfilled what they saw as the aesthetic requirements for artistic self-definition: The Country of the Pointed Firs and The Land of Little Rain embrace the destabilizing effect queer and feminist characters have on a presumably heterosexual domestic environment, and they formally resist the narrative structures of industrial modernity, emphasizing the Arts and Crafts ideal union between woman artist, natural environment, and communal bonds. The Awakening and The Portion of Labor expose the suffocating impact of industrial capitalism and sexism on women artists who strive for connection with their local environments and communities and cannot achieve their creative goals. I prove that all four texts do more than simply interpret regionalism through the Arts and Crafts Movement as a means to launch their critiques of industrial modernity, they transform the meaning of regionalist Arts and Crafts aesthetics and politics in late nineteenth-century American literature.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the experiences of six-year-old preschool learners in a structured movement educational assessment activity are explored. This qualitative study focused on the role of structured movement educational assessment activities in preschool learners, and assessed the way in which movement as a medium in a structured movement educational assessment activity supports learners understanding of numeracy and literacy concepts. A case study design was utilised to gather information about the experiences of the preschool learners during the activities, as well as the class teacher who facilitated the sessions. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interview, non-participant observations, a research journal, observation sheets, reflection notes, document analysis (worksheets of learners) and visual data (photographs). Thematic data analysis was applied to the gathered data, and various themes and sub-themes were identified. These were confirmed by the participants before the completion of the study.
The study adhered to the norms, values and principles of qualitative research, which entailed dealing professionally with aspects related to the different modalities of data. Further principles, namely that of informed consent, confidentiality, protection from harm, trustworthiness and anonymity, privacy and empowerment, caring and fairness were also adhered to (McMillan, & Schumacher, 2010).
This study found that the value of structured movement educational assessment activities strongly create positive outcomes associated with preschool learners in terms of their social and cognitive development. Furthermore, when preschool learners are physically involved in movement activities, they engage in tasks of listening, seeing, and doing, and practical application of concepts of numeracy and literacy. The finding further suggests that the value of assessing the preschool learners qualitatively during practical activities seemed favourable, as underlying conceptual knowledge of numeracy and literacy difficulties, as well as poor motor skill acquisition, were identified during the structured movement activities.Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2016.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addressed the physical literacy attributes of primary school children in South East Wales with a specific focus on the relationships between FMS motor behaviour competency and other aspects of physical literacy. The aims of this thesis were to: (a) examine the factor structure of the Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile (CY-PSPP), based on the validation work of Welk and Eklund (2005) for use as a valid measure of physical self-perceptions, with this population; (b) establish levels of FMS and associated measures of physical literacy in South East Wales primary school children; (c) utilise an alternative form of FMS classification (cluster analysis) and identify which associated variables of physical literacy discriminate between different classifications of FMS performance with this population; and (d) identify the impact of parental socialisation upon FMS performance. The thesis comprised of three studies and a summary report. In study 1 confirmatory factor analysis supported the hierarchical structure of the CY-PSPP as a valid and reliable measure to examine the nature and impact of physical self-perceptions on young children in this population and for its subsequent use in this thesis. Study 2 identified low levels of FMS proficiency in both genders of this population. The use of an alternative classification of FMS revealed several distinct group classification of FMS proficiency and identified specific skill differentiation between these group classifications in both genders. In addition, a number of significant relationships were identified between the multidimensional domains of physical literacy to discriminate the different group classifications ofFMS performance. In Study 3 significant relationships between aspects of parental socialisation and children's FMS proficiency were revealed. Therefore, overall this thesis provides rich data that increases our knowledge of FMS proficiency and its classification in UK and in particular with Welsh primary school children and reports both theoretical and methodological strengths that make a significant contribution to the FMS and physical literacy research area.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers new perspectives on the Yiddish poet and novelist Chaim Grade, examining his reflections on the world of historic Lithuanian Jewry from the outset of his career through his post-Holocaust novels. Chapter one explores the gap between the historical reality of interwar Vilna and its literary representation in his novel Di agune and questions the widely accepted view of this work as a credible historical source.Chapter two deals with Grade's depiction of his experience as a student in a Novaredok Musar yeshiva, contrasting the depiction of this yeshiva in the poem Musernikes (1938) and the novel Tsemakh atlas (1967). The writer's shift from a fierce condemnation of the Novaredok Yeshiva to a more moderate and affectionate view as a post-Holocaust writer is explained as the older Grade's attempt to reconcile his art and identity as a modern Jew with the religious world he had forsaken.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the international Book Town Movement that, from its beginnings in the small Welsh market town of Hay-on-Wye in the early 1960s, has escalated to incorporate more than 50 villages and towns in 27 countries. This phenomenon has enabled peripheral communities in Europe and across the globe to reclaim their economic futures and impact on the cultural sphere as increasingly powerful sites and sources of creativity. This study seeks to understand the reasons for this renaissance of interest in the preservation of traditional print culture in the countryside at a point in history when the book publishing industry is in a state of flux as it adapts to new digital technologies and globalisation of markets, leading to a clarification of the relationship between new books and the second-hand book economy. At the centre of this investigation is an acknowledgement of the book as a unique item of cultural consumption and a catalyst in book town creation – at once a remarkable artefact and a springboard for contemporary cultural debate. Essential to an understanding of book towns is their location on the geographical periphery and their capacity to sustain regional culture and identity. This thesis analyses innovative book town examples from diverse parts of the world using four key research methods: site-based research, case study research, cultural policy research and book culture research.
This research aims to inform a broader discussion of regional regeneration and cultural policy development through an investigation of book towns as ‘down on their luck’ places, reanimated to celebrate remarkable pasts and designed to captivate a growing middle-class cohort drawn to nostalgia, history, cultural heritage and tranquil rural settings that deliver both intellectual stimulation and wellbeing. The synergy of the book town ethos with a number of evolving global tourism trends – including cultural tourism and, more recently, post-tourism – has heightened their desirability. By exploring the history and origins of the Book Town Movement, the thesis links book towns to the entrepreneurship of bibliophiles seeking more utopian lifestyles, and culture-led regeneration by governments wanting to harness their capacity to increase social capital and generate economic revival.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
How are we moving, or how much physical activities are present in societal settingssuch as eldercare units, schools, universities and offices? This general question was explored using different design-oriented approaches in four cases, with children,elderly, students and office workers. The results unveil a complexity of the problemarea that initially seemed quite straightforward. In many of the explored settings and situations, and for many of the participants, the activities they are engaged with do not include or encourage their abilities for physical movements to any great extent and this is not in line with the extent of movement that they actually desire. Physical activity can be defined as an activity performed through movement that expends energy. Research results from the public health domains and related areas show a major concern for the negative effects related to low levels of physical activity and prolonged sedentary postures found in many of the above-mentioned settings. In general, physical activities of today seem mainly related to sports, and specific activities designed for improving health and well-being. The participants in the four explorative case studies in this thesis demonstrated how they would like their physical activities to be integrated in the everyday activities of the different settings explored and not mainly as a separate activity specifically dedicated for health and well-being. How can knowledge of physical activity inform the design and development of interactive products and systems in these settings? New insights were gained through design-oriented explorations together with the participants inthe different field settings and through analysis of these observations. The results are not only the insights gained through the analysed empirical observations but also include a physical activity-oriented design method called Physical Movement Sketching as well as experiences from using Movement Probes. The experiences from using these two design methods led me to formulate a proposal for a new approach called Movement Acumen Design. This approach applies a socioecological perspective on physical activities. It provides methods and concepts to support the integration of physical activities into everyday activities performed with the support of interactive technology and it argues that physical activity should reclaim a more central role in these situations. Let us design for it to happen!QC 20150217

Poet and professor Sterling A. Brown (1901-1989) played a significant role in the birth of black literary and cultural studies through his literary and academic careers. Brown helped to establish a new wave of black cultural and folklore studies during his time as the “Director of Negro Affairs” for the Federal Writers’ Project. As a professor at Howard University, Brown influenced black literary studies through his literary criticisms and seminars and his role as a mentor to literary figures of the next generations. Through letters to and from Sterling Brown and manuscripts, this thesis argues that Brown’s poetry, publications and folk studies in the nineteen twenties and thirties where the groundwork for his most prolific role of teacher-mentor.

Full textAbstract:
This Ph. D. thesis investigates the use of fantasy by British and Irish 'Decadent' authors and illustrators, including Oscar Wilde, Max Beerbohm, Aubrey Beardsley, 'Vernon Lee' (Violet Paget), Ernest Dowson, and Charles Ricketts. Furthermore, this study demonstrates why fantasy was an apposite form for literary Decadence, which is defined in this thesis as a supra-generic mode characterized by its anti-mimetic impulse, its view of language as autonomous and artificial, its frequent use of parody and pastiche, and its transgression of boundaries between art forms. Literary Decadence in the United Kingdom derives its view of autonomous language from Anglo-German Romantic philology and literature, consequently being distinguished from French Decadence by its resistance to realism and Naturalism, which assume language's power to signify the 'real world'. Understanding language to be inorganic, Decadent writers blithely countermand notions of linguistic fitness and employ devices such as catachresis, paradox, and tautology, which in turn emphasize the self-referentiality of Decadent texts. Fantasy furthers the Decadent argument about language because works of fantasy bear no specific relationship to 'reality'; they can express anything evocable within language, as J.R.R. Tolkien demonstrates with his example of "the green sun" (a phrase that can exist independent of the sun's actually being green). The thesis argues that fantasy's usefulness in underscoring arguments about linguistic autonomy explains its widespread presence in Decadent prose and visual art, especially in genres that had become associated with realism and Naturalism, such as the novel (Chapter 1), the short story (Chapter 3), drama (Chapter 4), and textual illustration (Chapter 2). The thesis also analyzes Decadents' use of a wholly non-realistic genre, the fairy tale (see Chapter 5), in order to delineate the consequences of their use of fantasy for the construction of character and gender within their texts.
