Abstract:

Este trabalho centra sua atenção sobre a construção identitária por meio da palavra escrita, refletindo sobre o passado por meio da narrativa autobiográfica I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970) da escritora afro-americana Maya Angelou. Utilizamos a obra de Maya Angelou devido ao seu esforço pioneiro em confrontar abertamente seu passado e fazer de suas mazelas pessoais um meio catártico: descer aos infernos, ou à morte para retornar transformada.<br>This work focuses its attention on the construction of identity by means of the written word using the autobiographical narrative I Know Why the

Abstract:

This study examines Maya Angelou as a powerful African-American woman in the twentieth century who impacted generations of African Americans. Her biographies and selected works speak strongly and wisely about gender and racial empowerment. This empowerment was sown in her childhood and could be traced throughout her life. It is also a fact that seldom does the realization of one’s race and gender take place at such an early age as with Maya Angelou. She was highly marginalized not only in terms of gender but also in terms of race with acute consciousness.

This essay is a close reading of the novels Beloved by Toni Morrison and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou with the purpose of analyzing the impact and role of the African American community in two characters’ formation of self. The aim is to contrast and compare the two chosen characters’ experiences with their respective African American communities and discuss common ground, similarities and differences. A postcolonial approach is applied to the analysis by using concepts and theory from Fanon’s arguments on the psychological effects on the oppressed, Cohen’s description of di

Abstract:

The aim of this master’s thesis was to study the portrayal of discrimination that occurs because of multiple factors in Maya Angelou’s book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The analysis has been conducted through the lens of Critical Race theory as the theory draws on the affiliation between race, racism and power. The main focal point of this essay was the intersectionality of race, gender and social class. The results of this study showed recurring events in which the characters in the book are marginalized. However, the study also showed the resilience and resistance the characters manifest

Maya scholars have proposed models of Maya political organization that range from small, independent, autonomous polities, to large centralized states.

Yucatec Maya (YM) is an indigenous language of Mexico that features both phonemic tonal distinctions and phonemic vowel length. These features are primarily associated with the phonetic cues of pitch and duration, which are also considered the primary correlates of stress in language. Though scholars have noted the existence of stress or accent since it was first documented centuries ago, no detailed account of stress as either a separate or related entity to tone or length has been made.

Within my project’s boundaries isolation resides in the banter of the cosmos as origin or expiry; in the anomaly of vagrancy; within a disjointed paternal and struggle for a permanent memory. These poems are shaped around the identity that is developed through separateness, and the reason discovered in uncertainty. This body of

Abstract:

<p>Animering i 3d är ett tidskrävande och komplicerat moment som tar lång tid att sätta sig in i. Det krävs att man har en bra känsla för naturliga rörelser för att kunna skapa realistiska animationer. Det här arbetet undersöker möjligheten ett med hjälp av Nintendos Wii Remote-kontroll låta en användare mer intuitivt animera ett enkelt 3d-objekt i Autodesk Maya 2009. Arbetets resultat och slutsatser visar hur man kan koppla Wii Remote-kontrollens utdata in till Autodesk Maya 2009, och tar upp funktioner man skulle kunna lägga till och vilka begränsningar som behöver lösas i framtida arbete m

Abstract:

This paper examines ritual in Classic Maya art of the Usamacinta River drainage, focusing on blood sacrifice, its iconography and symbolism, then looks at contemporary Maya ritual in highland Chiapas, Mexico. Connections between the two are made, emphasizing the continuity of Maya culture in Mesoamerica, and suggestions are made for current archaeological investigations in the Maya area.

Abstract:

Con una larga tradición constructiva que abarca más de diez siglos, la bóveda es uno de los elementos más característicos de la arquitectura maya. Este sistema de cubierta de fábrica de piedra, basado en el principio de aproximación de hiladas, muestra, por un lado, la continuidad que tuvieron las técnicas constructivas en esta antigua civilización y, por otro, las diferencias en la evolución tecnológica que se dieron entre las distintas regiones de las Tierras Bajas Mayas. Esta tesis doctoral aborda el estudio de la bóveda maya mediante el registro y el análisis minucioso de una amplia mu

Abstract:

This thesis work focuses on how to create realistic looking hair using only the vanilla version of Autodesk Maya. It describes two approaches, the widely used polygon-stripe based technique and the Maya built-in nHair. It also evaluates these two approaches in terms of ease of implementation, production speed and quality of final results. The conclusion is that nHair has the potential to produce realistic looking hair but contains various bugs and is not optimized at the current stage, while the polygon-stripe based approach is robust and flexible but the realism of rendering results is heavil
