Abstract:

In searching for restorative stories that elevate understanding and engender the capacity for seeing through the cultural chaos and confusion of modern times, this dissertation turns to Egypt at the beginning of its recorded history, approximately 3100 BCE. The ancient Egyptians faced many of the same challenges facing the world today, and they learned to weather them by creating a resilient cultural model that endured cycles of growth and decline. Their culture perpetuated while adapting and transforming. In their surviving records are some of their rituals, practices, and beliefs that provide much-needed perspectives, observations, and stories that contributed to their own renewal and capacity to regenerate their culture.

The mythological roots of renewal in ancient Egypt reveals one deity in particular who embodies the capacity to harmonize and balance the opposites—Ma‘at. She is central to the act of fostering daily reciprocal relationship and maintaining the flow of energy between the divine and the human realms. She is both the daughter of the solar god Re and his source of life. She is the embodiment of the cosmic patterns and natural laws. She is the incarnation of the offerings to the gods and their reciprocal response flowing back to the human realm. She governs the tides of justice, truth, balance, and harmony.

The collective psyche’s inherent capacity for renewal and resilience is revealed through Ma‘at’s story and prominence in Egyptian history. Their images and literature reveal that in the presence of Ma‘at, it is possible for human consciousness to discover the transcendent space where opposites reconcile to initiate new harmony, create unity, and guide all things to their rightful place. Balancing and harmonizing any duality creates a continuous circulation of energy in the psyche. This circulation has the potential to birth a conscious, ethical heart, an awakened heart which—as these ancient people would say—directs our saying and our doing. By recognizing Ma‘at’s essential characteristics, understanding her relationship with her fellow deities, and identifying her foundational role within the ancient Egyptian civilization it is possible to participate in the awakening of Ma‘at’s roots of renewal in our own times.

Abstract:

Architecture provides a vessel for people to once again appreciate their past, while simultaneously experiencing the present. We all linger on our pasts while we live in the moment and think about the future. Future is going to be our present, and later on will be caged in our past. Architectural ideas and believes, when they become real, can help people to gather and pull out their good moments in past while they celebrate their present together; which will be an ideal foundation for their future. Celebrations which will be create from marriage between old and new. An architecture which reminds people their past and causes them to appreciate their moment. It becomes most interesting when the time scales overlap. Those architectural ideals are successful which do not belong to a certain time, but on the other hand have a future perspective. This project will celebrate the merging of past, present and future.

Wirkus, Timothy Paul. "The Ingenious Narrator of Poe's Dupin Mysteries." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3018.

Full text

Abstract:

Scholarship on Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin stories consistently focuses on the stories' influence on the genre of detective fiction. One of the foundational genre elements pioneered by Poe in these tales is the sidekick/narrator. Throughout detective fiction, the less-intelligent sidekick has become a standard fixture, a convenient trope in foregrounding the brilliant machinations of the detective's mind. The attention the literature gives to the narrator of the Dupin tales is almost universally in terms of the sidekick/narrator figure as a trope of detective fiction; in this way, it seems that Dupin's companion has come to be read in terms of what he has in common with his successors, the Watsons and Archie Goodwins of mystery stories, rather than more strictly on the terms of what makes him unique. This thesis examines the ways in which the narrator alternately highlights (in subtle ways) and attempts to obfuscate (in equally subtle ways) his role as the fictional author of the tales. The narrator's role as writer complicates the reading of Dupin as the autonomous master of his own narrative, and as the narrator himself as a generic, dim-witted sidekick. In this way, Dupin and the narrator occupy flip sides of the same narrative coin—Dupin serves as the showman, and the narrator, the invisible author. As contrasting, complementary doubles of one another, they perform the function of collaborative authors, each one equally essential to the production of the tales. Similarly, this reevaluation of the narrator/sidekick as an author figure brings out ways in which the narrator's genius parallels and matches the genius of Dupin.

Full text

Abstract:

Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's (1644--1704) Mystery Sonatas of 1676 are a set of fifteen sonatas for violin and continuo plus one unaccompanied passacaglia for solo violin. They are unusual in their use of scordatura and in the presence of an image associated with the Rosary devotion before each sonata. This association between image and music in the sonatas, and the correspondence to the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary closely resembles the structure of seventeenth-century Rosary picture books.
In this thesis the context, background, and meaning of the sonatas is explored. The first chapter examines the function of the sonatas and places them in context by outlining musical life in Salzburg, the sonata tradition, the Rosary devotion, Emblem books, and Rosary picture books. The second chapter focuses more on the collection as a whole and on elements such as key, dance affect, and scordatura. The third chapter consists of an examination of three sonatas---each one unique in placing the listener in a different relation to the mystery.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar o entretenimento e seus diferentes suportes midiáticos, tomando como objeto de estudo o fenômeno de proliferação de narrativas sobre a Casa de Detenção de São Paulo, o presídio do Carandiru. Desde 2 de outubro de 1992, data do massacre de 111 detentos pela Polícia Militar, até os dias de hoje, a memória do complexo penitenciário foi operacionalizada e mercadorizada como uma fonte infinita de histórias a serem vendidas em um mercado cultural acolhedor e de grande audiência. O Carandiru, seu mundo desconhecido e misterioso, bem como as experiências de vida dos detentos que nele habitaram foram transformados em produtos de consumo capazes de gerar não apenas um estrondoso sucesso comercial, mas, também, a possibilidade de variação dos bens culturais sobre a prisão em inúmeros formatos, trabalhados e configurados, nos mais distintos setores da indústria e do comércio, como o editorial, o cinematográfico, o televisivo, o fonográfico, o radiofônico, o fotográfico, o jornalístico, o turístico e o das artes plásticas e cênicas. Diante deste contexto, estudamos os múltiplos modos de apropriação da memória da cadeia e dos seus presos, assim como os deslizamentos do livro Estação Carandiru, de Drauzio Varella, por diferentes suportes, entre eles o cinema e a TV, num esforço para compreender como o fascínio pelo crime, o trauma dessa trágica memória e a lucrativa cultura de massas se entrelaçaram em uma intrigante trama midiática.
The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the entertainment and its different mediatics supports, concerning the phenomenon of proliferation of narratives about The House of Detention of São Paulo, the prison called Carandiru. From October 2, 1992, the date of the massacre of 111 prisoners by the Military Police, until these days, the memory of the penitentiary complex has been operated and commercialized as an infinite source of stories to be sold in a welcomed and in a vast audience cultural market. The Carandiru, its unknown and mysterious world, as well as the prisioner´s life- experience experience who inhabited there were transformed in a consumption segment which has been able to generate not only a huge commercial success, but also the possibility of variation of the cultural products concerning the prison in uncountable forms, all of them configured and performed in the most distinct industrial and commercial sectors, as the editorial, the cinematographic, the televisive, the phonographic, the photographic, the journalistic, the touristic and of the plastic and scenic arts. In this context, we will study the multiples modes of appropriation of the memory of the jail and of its prisoners, as well as the slides of the book Estação Carandiru, by Drauzio Varella, by different supports, among them the cinema and the TV, in an effort to understand how the fascination for the crime, the trauma of this tragic memory and the lucrative mass culture came to interlace in an intriguing mediatic plot.

Wise, Rachel Anne. "Blooming Vines, Pregnant Mothers, Religious Jewelry: Gendered Rosary Devotion in Early Modern Europe." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2013. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3551.

Full text

Abstract:

Rosary devotion has long been considered a "female-centered" religious practice. Despite this correlation, no scholars have investigated the relationship between women and the rosary. In this thesis I attempt to fill that void by examining a range of meanings the rosary held for laywomen in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Northern Europe, c. 1470 to c. 1530. Using a theoretical framework informed by materialism, gender theory, and Marian theory, my thesis argues that beyond its usual associations with indulgences, the rosary also signified prayers for conception and safe childbirth. In reciting prayers to the Madonna, laywomen spiritually and mystically projected themselves into the narrative of the Virgin's pregnancy, desiring to bear a child as Mary bore Christ.To explicate the relationship between women and the rosary, my thesis considers a variety of rosary images: female donors with their prayer beads, Andachtsbilder portraying the Christ Child holding and playing with a string of beads, images of the Holy Kinship, instructive prints from rosary manuals, and early family portrait scenes. As a whole, these images suggest that the rosary symbolized a budding womb, a wife's ideal piety, the desire for children, the maternal qualities of the Virgin, and an amulet to assuage the rigor of childbirth. Lastly, my thesis considers the rosary as religious jewelry. By looking to several examples of women depicted with ornate rosaries, my thesis argues that laywomen wore beads to elevate their status and to emulate the aristocracy. Moreover, wearing rosaries and/or being painted with one's rosary allowed for a public pronouncement of one's private piety. For women, then, wearing a rosary was another way in which they could enter into the public devotional realm. In arguing that the rosary was perceived by women as a blossoming vine, as a piece of religious jewelry, and as an aid in childbirth, I hope to have contributed new ways of understanding this multivalent devotional tool, and to have opened new avenues for others to consider the rosary beyond its usual associations with prayer counting and indulgences.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M. in Science Writing)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Humanities, Graduate Program in Science Writing, 2007.
Includes bibliographical references (leaf 45).
Each fall, the entire monarch butterfly population of the Eastern United States and Canada funnels into a handful of oyamel pine groves in Michoacan, Mexico, to weather the winter months. Each spring, the butterflies mate and fly north to repopulate the continent in short generational bursts. The monarchs flying south in the fall are three generations removed from those that made the trip the previous year. With no parents to guide its way, a migrating monarch has only its genes to steer it to its Mexican overwintering site. Monarchs orient using the sun as a guidepost. Because the sun appears to move across the sky throughout the day, the butterflies must keep track of time in order to correctly interpret the sun's position. Although this so-called "time-compensated sun compass" was demonstrated in 1997, little was known about how it worked. Steven Reppert, a neurobiologist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, MA, is working to change that. His lab seeks to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms monarchs use to guide them on their remarkable yearly journey. Reppert and his colleagues believe they have pinpointed the sun compass, and the circadian clock that guides it, in the monarch brain. They have shown how the clock and compass might work together to allow the monarchs to find their way to Mexico. Their work has also uncovered some unexpected insights into the workings and evolution of circadian clocks in general. This thesis profiles these discoveries, exploring how circadian biology has illuminated monarch migration, and how monarchs, in turn, have illuminated circadian biology.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the volume of state letters Cabala, Mysteries of State and Government. It primarily focuses on the two volumes published in 1653/4, examining the political contexts of the individuals who write or receive the letters, in particular Anne Boleyn, Robert Devereux and George Villiers. The thesis situates the Cabala volumes within a number of their more significant contexts: modern scholarship; contemporary publications; provenance studies; and examines the role of the individuals in enhancing our current understanding of how seventeenth century readers were questioning and debating the political climate. Responding to work in the field of early modern letter writing and culture, the thesis demonstrates how two particular volumes of letters influenced contemporary historians and have become a foundational source of mainstream scholarship on the Tudors and Stuarts. Comprising five chapters, the thesis examines the different ways we can interpret the Cabala as a political document. The thesis takes two approaches: it is primarily a study of the Cabala volumes published in the 1650s which situate these volumes within Protectorate studies. Secondly it considers the reception of the books and in doing this the thesis covers all six Cabala volumes. The first three chapters focus on the seventeenth century. They examine individual letter writers, print publication and the political context prevailing when the Cabala was first published. The last two chapters broaden the timeframe to encompass the period from publication to the present day. Chapter four researches the ownership, accessibility and distribution of the Cabala and demonstrates the book’s role in our understanding of book history and how the Cabala still endures within the modern library. The final chapter focuses on how the Cabala is used in contemporary and modern scholarship in particular its role in the reception and acceptance of the iconic Tilbury speech of Elizabeth I.

Abstract:

Art History
M.A.
Rogier van der Weyden's Miraflores Altarpiece (c. 1440) was installed in the Carthusian Monastery of Miraflores, Castile, during a period when early rosary meditation cycles were gaining popularity, particularly amongst Carthusians. This previously unexplored historical context offers a rationale for the innovative iconographic content and structure of the work, as well as for the ways in which it had meaning for its viewers. Like early rosary meditations, the Miraflores Altarpiece combines diverse meditational cycles including life of Christ and the Virgin narratives with the tripartite division of the Marian Psalter. The altarpiece has much in common with the later standardized form of the rosary, which indicates that this format had much earlier roots than had been thought previously. The Miraflores Altarpiece contributes to our understanding of the way visual media participated in the rosary tradition, and of the ways that tradition developed and changed over the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Abstract:

The detective fiction (tantei shōsetsu) genre is one that came into Japan from the West around the time of the Meiji Restoration (1868), and soon became wildly popular. Again in recent years, detective fiction has experienced a popularity boom in Japan, and there has been an outpouring of new detective fiction books as well as various television and movie adaptations. It is not a revelation that the Japanese detective fiction genre, while rife with imitation and homage to Western works, took a dramatic turn somewhere along the line, away from celebrated models like Poe, Doyle, and Christie, and developed into a unique subgenre of Japanese prose. However, despite its popularity and innovation, Japanese detective fiction has often been categorized as popular literature (taishū bungaku), which is historically disregarded as vulgar and common. My thesis first consists of a brief introductory history oftantei shōsetsugenre in Japan. This includes a discussion of Japanese writers' anxiety concerning imitation of Western forms and their perception of themselves as imposters and imitators. Following this, I examine the ways in whichtantei shōsetsuwriters--particularly Edogawa Ranpo (1894 - 1965), the grandfather of the genre in Japan--began to deviate from the Western model in the 1920's. At the same time, I investigate the bias againsttantei shōsetsuas a vulgar or even pornographic genre. Through a discussion of literary critic Karatani Kōjin's ideas on the construction of depth in literature, I will demonstrate how Edogawa created, through his deviance from the West, a new kind of construction in detective fiction to bring a different sort of depth to what was generally considered merely a popular and shallow genre. This discussion includes a look at the ideas of Tsubouchi Shōyō on writing modern novels, and Japanese conceptions of "pure" (junsui) and "popular" (taishū) literature. Through an examination of several of Edogawa's works and his use of psychology in creating interiority in his characters, I propose that the depth configuration, put forth by Karatani in his critique of canonical modern Japanese literature, is also present in popular fiction, like Edogawa'stantei shōsetsu. When viewed through the lens of Karatani's depth paradigm, we discover how detective fiction and the vulgarity therein may actually have more in common with "pure" fiction created by those writers who followed Shōyō's prescriptions. In the final section of the introduction, I propose a definition of Japanese detective fiction that links Edogawa's works from the 1920's to the contemporary Japanese detective novel After-Dinner Mysteries (Nazotoki wa dinaa no ato de, 2010), by Higashigawa Tokuya. Thus we see that many of the themes and conventions present in Edogawa remain prevalent in contemporary writing. Finally, I present my translation of the first two chapters of After-Dinner Mysteries.

Abstract:

[...] Obiettivo di questa dissertazione non sarà fornire un altro quadro d’insieme dei Misteri (sebbene capiterà talvolta di avanzare proposte interpretative su aspetti ancora controversi dei culti), ma indagare come e a quale fine la tematica e il linguaggio misterici vengano utilizzati da Platone nell’arco di una lunga produzione filosofica. La sua opera presenta numerosi richiami espliciti ai culti eleusini, orfici, coribantici e dionisiaci, costituendo una fonte autorevole, ma talvolta fuorviante, per gli studiosi, e nasconde pattern iniziatici e riferimenti impliciti ai Misteri. Solo di rado questi riferimenti hanno il semplice valore di immagine, di termine di paragone; più spesso comunicano qualcosa di molto profondo. L’appropriazione di un linguaggio tecnico religioso specializzato è intesa a suggerire un’analogia con l’ambito in cui quel linguaggio costituiva un codice e una chiave ermeneutica. Sarà nostro compito capire quale sia l’analogia, le analogie o addirittura le coincidenze che Platone sta cercando di indicare. Le dinamiche della trasmissione di conoscenze segrete nei Misteri possono aiutarci a indagare un tema ancora poco studiato come le modalità della trasmissione del sapere nelle scuole filosofiche del mondo antico. Ai fini di questo lavoro, sarà necessario limitare la nostra attenzione all’Accademia di Platone all’epoca del suo scolarcato. Dovremmo, quindi, rispondere sin da subito a una vexata quaestio: quella di Platone era una sapienza segreta? E se sì, in che senso lo era? Nella sua scuola Platone insegnava ciò che possiamo leggere nei dialoghi e discuteva con i discepoli ciò che avrebbe poi messo per iscritto o i dialoghi ci danno un’idea solo della propedeutica all’insegnamento diretto del maestro, il cui contenuto va qualitativamente oltre quello degli scritti divulgati?

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2002.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 135-157).
The High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE), was built primarily at MIT and launched in October 2000 with the goal of studying Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) at X-ray and gamma-ray energies. A suite of instruments aboard HETE provide broadband sensitivity to GRBs: the French Gamma Telescope (FREGATE; 6 keV to > 400 keV ) instrument provides sensitive detections at gamma-ray energies, the Wide-Field X-Ray Monitor (WXM; 2 to 28 keV) provides detection and localization (5-10' radius) at X-ray energies, and the Soft X-ray Camera (SXC; 1.3 to 14 keV) provides refined localization (< 1' radius) capabiities at soft X-ray energies. GRB positions, determined in-flight, are promptly transmitted to the ground via the Burst Alert Network (BAN), and disseminated to interested observers for X-ray, optical, and radio follow-up observations. The HETE Operations center is located at MIT. This dissertation provides an overview of HETE with a particular focus on the building, testing, and performance of the SXC. To date the WXM has localized 18 GRBs, which have among them a number of interesting properties. Six are X-ray rich, which are of particular interest because they are not as well studied as classical GRBs. Beginning with the discovery of an optical transient at z = 0.45 for GRB 010921, five WXM GRB localizations have led to the identification of an afterglow transient (GRB 010921, GRB 020124, GRB 020305, and GRB 020331 in optical; GRB 020127 in radio). Optical follow-up observations with the Magellan 6.5m Baade Telescope of GRB 011130, GRB 011212, and GRB 020331 are described, including the discovery of the host galaxy of GRB 020331. X-ray observations of GRB 011130 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory at two different epochs have not conclusively revealed an X-ray counterpart among 61 detected X-ray point sources.

Full text

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Boyd T. Coolman
The anonymous Speculum de mysteriis ecclesiae from the 12th century abbey of St. Victor has often been associated with the tradition of medieval liturgical commentaries, but this dissertation proposes reading it primarily as a general treatise on the spiritual life. Its unique Victorine emphasis on the combination of intellect and affect suggests a particular theology of the sign: the real ontological status of the sign relying not on Dionysian hierarchy but on ecclesial contemplation. Through the newly developed sacramental understanding of res et sacramentum, the Speculum suggests that signs have enduring value as signs that goes beyond their function as signifiers. The attainment of the signified, in other words, is only part of their gift. Their “sweetness” is found in an appreciation of their mode of signification — a signification that, the Speculum suggests, endures somehow even in heaven as a non-necessary gracious source of delight. That is, external and visible things in the Church have value not merely because they point us to particular invisible things (what the signs “mean”) but because they teach us the Church’s economy of grace. The Church, then, and her sacramental economy, are central not just to the practical life of individual salvation, but to the meaningfulness of all creation

Abstract:

Since the study of aging merged out of Second-wave feminism during the 1960’s, aging has been associated exclusively with the time of old age. In this study I will revisit the assumptions which have underpinned the exclusive nature of this relationship in recent historiography through an analysis of a wide-range of primary sources addressing aging as a physiological and psychic process. Whilst aging was a much contested concept; a matter for speculation and fundamentally unquantifiable, it was also in the final analysis an unregulated process which could begin at any time of life. Whilst ideas of aging were constituted in a number of contexts: medical, theological and philosophical dominate this study, I will also illustrate ways in which practices and discourses of age were interrelated, each informing the other. Historians of age have in their own ways paraphrased Joan Scott’s definition of gender, statements have however been qualified by the prefix that a certain age; either childhood or old age is a useful category of analysis. My study eschews such an approach, arguing instead that for age to become a useful category of analysis we must firstly attempt to fully understand the process which gives rise to the value judgements that certain ages are a more useful category of analysis than others. Understanding aging will make are per se a useful category of analysis in the same way that studies of masculinity, in addition to studies of femininity, have made studies of gender a useful category o analysis.

Abstract:

The increasing volume and complexity of text data are challenging the cognitive capabilities of expert analysts. Machine learning and crowdsourcing present new opportunities for large-scale sensemaking, but it remains a challenge to model the overall process so that many distributed agents can contribute to suitable components asynchronously and meaningfully. In this work, I explore how to crowdsource sensemaking for intelligence analysis. Specifically, I focus on the complex processes that include developing hypotheses and theories from a raw dataset and iteratively refining the analysis. I first developed Connect the Dots, a web application that implements the concept of "context slices" and supports novice crowds in building relationship networks for exploratory analysis. Then I developed CrowdIA, a software platform that implements the entire crowd sensemaking pipeline and the context slicing for each step, to enable unsupervised crowd sensemaking. Using the pipeline as a testbed, I probed the errors and bottlenecks in crowdsourced sensemaking,and suggested design recommendations for integrated crowdsourcing systems. Building on these insights and to support iterative crowd sensemaking, I developed the concept of "crowd auditing" in which an auditor examines a pipeline of crowd analyses and diagnoses the problems to steer future refinement. I explored the design space to support crowd auditing and developed CrowdTrace, a crowd auditing tool that enables novice auditors to effectively identify the important problems with the crowd analysis and create microtasks for crowd workers to fix the problems.The core contributions of this work include a pipeline that enables distributed crowd collaboration to holistic sensemaking processes, two novel concepts of "context slices" and "crowd auditing", web applications that support crowd sensemaking and auditing, as well as design implications for crowd sensemaking systems. The hope is that the crowd sensemaking pipeline can serve to accelerate research on sensemaking, and contribute to helping people conduct in-depth investigations of large collections of information.

In today's world, we have access to large amounts of data that provide opportunities to solve problems at unprecedented depths and scales. While machine learning offers powerful capabilities to support data analysis, to extract meaning from raw data is cognitively demanding and requires significant person-power. Crowdsourcing aggregates human intelligence, yet it remains a challenge for many distributed agents to collaborate asynchronously and meaningfully. The contribution of this work is to explore how to use crowdsourcing to make sense of the copious and complex data. I first implemented the concept of ``context slices'', which split up complex sensemaking tasks by context, to support meaningful division of work. I developed a web application, Connect the Dots, which generates relationship networks from text documents with crowdsourcing and context slices. Then I developed a crowd sensemaking pipeline based on the expert sensemaking process. I implemented the pipeline as a web platform, CrowdIA, which guides crowds to solve mysteries without expert intervention. Using the pipeline as a testbed, I probed the errors and bottlenecks in crowd sensemaking and provided design recommendations for crowd intelligence systems. Finally, I introduced the concept of ``crowd auditing'', in which an auditor examines a pipeline of crowd analyses and diagnoses the problems to steer a top-down path of the pipeline and refine the crowd analysis. The hope is that the crowd sensemaking pipeline can serve to accelerate research on sensemaking, and contribute to helping people conduct in-depth investigations of large collections of data.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to explore the philosophies, attitudes and beliefs that surround the teaching of breath. Voice and speech teachers want students and actors to be versatile; able to adjust to the demands of any role, and each student enters the classroom with a myriad of mental and physical breathing habits. Many voice and speech trainers, however, only address a limited number of breathing habits and primarily teach "deep breathing." Why has deep breathing dominated voice training, and how do we effectively teach breath for all students and all habits? I will examine six major voice practitioners: Arthur Lessac, Patsy Rodenburg, Kristin Linklater, Catherine Fitzmaurice, F.M. Alexander, and Jo Estill and their philosophies about breath. I will also investigate my own experiences with each practitioner, both in my own training, and in my teaching. I will conclude with my personal philosophy about breath; what an ideal breath is, and how to teach it.

Abstract:

Cell division mechanisms involving native proteins MinCDE or MinCD and DivIVA have been explored using Esherichia coli (Ec) and Bacillus subtilis (Bs), respectively. My research examines the Gram-positive coccal-shaped Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) protein DivIVA, which functions without any Min proteins. To determine whether E. coli could be used as a suitable indicator system, DivIVAEf overexpression and morphological studies were undertaken. Constructs with unique mutations created along the 699-nucleotide length of the divIVAEf gene to abrogate specific coiled-coil domains at the N-terminal, C-terminal and two central regions were investigated in this model. The original mutations were previously used in different systems and therefore required PCR amplification, double digest with new restriction enzymes prior to subcloning in pUC18 for transformation in E. coli (Ramirez-Arcos et al., 2005; Rigden et al., 2005).

Abstract:

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul
In the late eighteenth century, Ann Radcliffe established herself as one of the most famous novelists of her time, and she reached the peak of her career with her fourth novel entitled The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794). Although it is one of the most important gothic novels, this narrative has issues not much explored by critics yet. The Mysteries of Udolpho presents us with one of the strongest characteristics of Radcliffe s fiction, namely, the detailed construction of setting. In this sense, this work analyses and discusses the roles of setting, which is organized in the novel as natural or constructed setting. The analysis focuses on the relation between this thematic-formal aspect and the actions and personal relationships of the protagonist Emily with other characters. The discussion shows that the different types of setting are essential in the narrative once they have strong participation in the ideological construction of characters regarding the connection between sentimentalism and rationality. Therefore, the relation between setting and characters, in this particular novel, expresses important aspects of the complex development of the bourgeois sensibility in eighteenth-century England.
Em fins do século XVIII, Ann Radcliffe se estabeleceu como uma das romancistas mais famosas de sua época, atingindo o ápice de sua carreira com seu quarto romance intitulado The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794). Apesar de ser um dos romances góticos ingleses mais importantes, ele ainda apresenta questões pouco exploradas pelos críticos. The Mysteries of Udolpho possui uma das características mais fortes das obras de Radcliffe: a minuciosa elaboração do espaço. Em vista disso, este estudo analisa e discute as funções do espaço, o qual está organizado em natural e construído. A análise centra na maneira como esse aspecto temático-estrutural se relaciona com as ações e relações pessoais da protagonista Emily com as demais personagens. Discutimos como os diferentes tipos de espaço tornam-se essenciais por participarem de forma enfática na construção ideológica das personagens, no que diz respeito à associação entre sentimentalismo e racionalidade. Assim, a relação entre espaço e personagens nesse romance expressa aspectos importantes da complexa construção da sensibilidade burguesa na Inglaterra do século XVIII.

Abstract:

Art History
Ph.D.;
My dissertation studies the typological juxtaposition and syncretic incorporation of classical and Christian elements-subjects, motifs, and forms-in the art of the Italian Renaissance and the significant meaning of classical subjects and figures in such contexts. In this study, I analyze the interpretative modes applied to extra-Biblical and secular literature in the Italian Tre- and Quattrocento and the syncretic philosophies of the later Quattro- and early Cinquecento and reevaluate selected works of art from the Italian Renaissance in light of the period claims and beliefs that are evident from such a study. In summary, my dissertation considers the use of classical subjects, motifs, and forms in the art of the Italian Renaissance as a means to gloss or reveal aspects of Christian doctrine. In chapter 1, I respond to the paradigm proposed by Erwin Panofsky (Renaissance and Renascences) and establish a new criteria for understanding the difference between medieval and Renaissance perceptions of classical antiquity. Chapter 2 includes a study of the mythological scenes painted in the Cappella Nova of Orvieto Cathedral, which are here shown to gloss and reveal aspects of the developing Christian doctrine of Purgatory. In chapter 3, I study the Renaissance use of representational ambiguity as a means of signifying the propriety of pursuing an allegorical interpretation of a work and specifically address the typological significance of figures in Botticelli's Primavera. In chapter 4, I examine the philosophical concepts of prisci theologii and theologicae poetae and their significance in relation to the representation of classical figures in medieval and Renaissance works of art. This study provides the necessary background for a reevaluation of syncretic themes in Raphael's Stanza della Segnatura, which is the subject of the final chapter. In chapter 5, I identify classical figures in the frescoes of the Stanza della Segnatura-among them, Orpheus in the Parnassus and Plato and Aristotle in the Disputa-and offer a new interpretation of the iconographic program of the Stanza della Segnatura frescoes as a representation of the means by which participants in the Christian tradition, broadly conceived, approach God through the parallel paths of dialectic and moral philosophy.

Fitzpatrick, Samuel. "Descent into the Easy Rawlins mysteries series: Walter Mosley and the return of the Black detective." Diss., University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6102.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes six novels published by acclaimed detective fiction author Walter Mosley between the years 1990-1997: Devil in a Blue Dress, A Red Death, White Butterfly, Black Betty, A Little Yellow Dog, and Gone Fishin’. Collectively, these novels comprise what is referred to as the Easy Rawlins Mysteries Series. This analysis also identifies these six works as the “canonical novels” in the series due to the linear chronological progression of the first five narratives, which take place between the years 1948-1963, and their common Los Angeles setting. Mosley’s final novel of the nineteen-nineties, Gone Fishin’, is a prequel set in the year 1936, and before the events depicted in Devil. The series is currently ongoing. The following prolonged examination of the earliest installments in the series stems from close readings of the novels, related critical secondary sources, and interviews with the author. I argue that as Mosley’s six narratives trace the gradual development of the protagonist, Ezekiel “Easy” Rawlins, from a World War II military veteran into a skilled private investigator, the author also dwells upon the significance of Black male heroism, a bold and uncompromising brand of Black masculinity, and the importance of Black domesticity. During the course of my analysis, I concluded that Mosley’s initial introduction of the character to readers in the turbulent and transformative sociopolitical/economic landscape of the nineteen-nineties represents a profound reinterpretation of the Black male protagonist in the detective fiction genre. Easy Rawlins is a radically new iteration of the Black detective. Mosley utilizes his distinctive, and entertaining investigative persona in order to simultaneously return the Black private eye to a position of prominence within the reading public’s collective imagination, and to explore new possibilities for the literary portrayals of heroic Black men.

Abstract:

An examination is made of important influences that shaped both the development of Plato's religious and philosophical teachings/theories of the Soul and Spirit which were based on core Spiritual Laws or Principles, and his scheme of education as outlined in the Republic. Included are Plato's early years and the teachings and influence of Socrates and the Orphic, Pythagorean and Eleusinian Mystery Schools. Plato's system of education is shown to be very much influenced by the Pythagoreans, to involve the 'Principle of Initiation' and to be soul-centered, where all thought is related to 'The One'. The conclusion is that the philosophy and teaching of education today tends to ignore the important integrative principle of unity--the Soul/Spirit connection. A renewed philosophy and scheme of education is introduced incorporating a vision of the whole person.
