Warfield, Angela Marie. "Utopia unlimited: reassessing American literary utopias." Diss., University of Iowa, 2009. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/271.
Full textAbstract:
This project argues that American literary utopias of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888) and William Dean Howells' Altrurian Romances (1907) to Aldous Huxley's Island and Ursula K. LeGuin's The Dispossessed (1974), offer a unique narrative site to approach the ethical and political concerns of postmodernity. Literary utopias are conventionally read as either dogmatic and totalitarian schemes or impractical and fanciful dreams; they are interpreted as representations of an archetypal ideology. I contend that these conventional interpretations overlay and belie an essentially post-ideological irony and ambivalence inherent in the neologism "utopia"--the "good place" (eu-topos) that is simultaneously "no place" (ou-topos). Utopian narratives remain unfinished projects whose political and ethical potential resides in the suspension of utopia's realization, a notion discussed in Jacques Derrida's exploration of the irony and ultimate ethical significance of an idea that cannot be fully presented or realized (différance), a space that cannot be traversed (a-poria), and of a community-to-come engendered by these notions. Accordingly, my readings of American literary utopias disclose narrative characteristics, from temporal instability to radical shifts in points of view, to show that the value of utopian literature lies in its exploration of alternative possibilities without prescribing finite and present solutions.

I will start my thesis project with an analyse of current innovations in technology and new materials to find out what possible potential they may offer for new design solutions. The focus will be on inventions of disruptive technologies of the past and the present and how they change our way of life. An interesting point is to draw conclusions from how the consequences of these technological milestones impact our everyday life. An example is the influence of the internet (in the bigger and the smaller scale): it changed our way to purchase goods, to find a partner and to get e-services. In an experimental way I will build up scenarios of a possible future based on this technological knowledge. The hypothetical utopias and dystopias will evoke new questions and theories. In the research phase I will among others illustrate classical and modern utopias and dystopias. I will try to capture the spirit and the trends of both, visionary scientists and designer/architects/ar-tists to describe fears and hopes of the future.<br>Master / InSpace 2009

Full textAbstract:
When I observed Japan from a distance for the first time, I found a similarity between Japanese society and the idea of 'Utopia, 1 and I became interested in society as subject matter. Researching Plato and Thomas More's ideas of 'utopia 1 was the starting point of my research. When I realized Utopia is indeed a place without freedom, I became interested in the other 'possible world/ a world different from our reality. I have been obsessed with the idea, and I began making artworks related to the idea. 'Heterotopia 1 seemed to have a strong connection with the 'possible world, 1 and Michel Foucault became essential for my theoretical study. I spent a year researching on the theory, which later became the foundation of my studio practice. Along with these theoretical studies, I researched photographs of children which were related to the subject of my digital practice. By analyzing the work, I developed and understanding my practice. I improved the interdisciplinary aspects of my work by researching related artworks and films, and developed advanced techniques in digital media and collage. After studying the theory and writing the proposal for the Professional Doctorate programme, I found it difficult time for me to organize my ideas and relate these thoughts to my practice. The critical reviews helped me to reconsider my work and its presentation. While concentrating on my study and practice, I collaborated with other artists and designers in professional practice. I also curated a group exhibition, and the experience expanded my art practice in a new way.

Prince, John S. "Utopia Victoriana : the utopian novel in late Victorian Britain, 1871-1905." Virtual Press, 2003. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1259302.
Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on three significant issues addressed by utopian literature of the late Victorian period: the class struggle and the resulting debate about capitalism and socialism, the nature and significance of language, and the influence of Darwin's theory of evolution on attitudes toward human existence. The utopian reaction to each of these three issues reflects the increasingly scientific investigation and analysis of specialized fields of knowledge that developed throughout the nineteenth century. Within the context of major scientific advancements in biology, geology, linguistics, and technology, utopian literature of the late-Victorian period, c. 1871-1905, responds primarily to two opposing nineteenth-century attitudes, the complacent optimism of laissez-faire individualism and the resigned pessimism of naturalistic determinism. Literary utopianism of the late nineteenth century is an attempt to resolve the philosophical and epistemological conflict between the impersonal and seemingly unalterable natural laws of science and the indomitable human will. I contend that the utopian novel re-emerges in the last third of the nineteenth century at the intersection of scientific discourse and literary discourse. I further argue that the late Victorian utopia marks a critical transition between the classic utopia the modern utopia.<br>Department of English

Resumo : Este trabalho sistematiza a reflexão de uma proposta metodológica sobre o ensino da literatura para alunos adultos em escolarização básica - de Ia à 4a série. Inicia-se com a delimitação do quadro educacional brasileiro no que tange à educação de adultos. Em seguida, apresenta a concepção de linguagem e alfabetização que estará perpassando toda a discussão sobre a constituição da práxis pedagógica para com o texto literário. O capítulo seguinte trata especificamente da questão da oralidade, uma vez que os alunos adultos possuem um acervo oral bastante rico, mas utilizam formas de falar não prestigiadas socialmente. Além disso, o domínio de formas orais tradicionais dominadas pelos adultos podem ser o ponto de partida para o trabalho com o texto literário escrito. Aprofundando as discussões sobre alfabetização, o capítulo que trata da alfabetização e literatura procura amarrar à concepção teórica apresentada uma proposta para o trabalho com o texto literário para adultos que se alfabetizam. Este capítulo trata separadamente de textos poéticos e narrativos, a fim de discutir a especificidade de cada gênero. Como os alunos a serem atendidos são alfabetizandos e alfabetizados, o capítulo que se segue procura sugerir formas de se trabalhar com essa diversidade a partir do domínio lingüístico de cada aluno, tendo como base o resgate da cultura oral, o trabalho com a diversidade de textos e com a intertextualidade.

Previous issue date: 2007<br>Resumo: O tema central deste trabalho é a glossolalia. Chamada também de língua estranha, língua bárbara, falar em línguas, falar extático, neolíngua. Classificada como fenômeno religioso, patológico, mágico, demoníaco, lúdico, artístico. Proponho refletir sobre essa produção vocal a partir de algumas questões. O que pode ser uma fala sem língua Por que classificá-la de diferentes formas O que a faz semblante de língua Qual a ligação entre som e sentido Por que um sujeito insiste, apesar das advertências contra sua prática, em falar sem absolutamente nada dizer Essas questões foram estudadas tendo como referência um material gravado e vendido em uma paróquia da Renovação Carismática em que um de seus membros realiza um seminário sobre o dom de línguas e ao final faz uma oração em línguas. A perspectiva psicanalítica lacaniana fundamenta a análise dos dados. Utilizo também estudos realizados no campo da lingüística. Pretendo demonstrar com esta tese que o que move este sujeito a falar para não dizer nada é uma das maneiras de buscar, por meio dessa produção vocal, o gozo inter-dito que aí se configura.<br>Abstract: The central theme of this work is the glossolalia.

The analyses of the data is based on the lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. Some studies from the linguistic field are also used here. This thesis aims at demonstrating that what drives the subject to speak to say nothing is a way of seeking, through this vocal production, the interdicted joy that is configurated in this way.<br>Doutorado<br>Doutor em Linguística

Full textAbstract:
A tese visa compreender a Utopia como uma obra política moderna de caráter literário e filosófico. A abordagem do aspecto literário é feita no primeiro capítulo e retomada no final, e busca em, primeiro lugar, estabelecer as diferenças fundamentais entre a Utopia e alguns dos constructos ideais que a precederam e com os quais ela é recorrentemente identificada, tais como a Era de Ouro, o paraíso e a Atlântida; em segundo lugar, ela procura também verificar a proximidade e a distancia da Utopia em relação à sátira, gênero literário com o qual a obra passou a ser identificado mais recentemente por uma parcela dos comentadores, mudando-se o seu registro do apologético para o crítico. O aspecto filosófico é tratado no segundo e no terceiro capítulos. No segundo se procura mapear as relações da Utopia com a filosofia política clássica, sobretudo no que respeita aos constructos filosóficos ideais, enquanto que o capítulo três discute a vinculação da Utopia com o humanismo erasmiano, do qual ela é, ao mesmo tempo, devedora e crítica. O quarto capítulo apresenta as considerações finais, procurando caracterizar a obra como um produto do renascimento inglês, produto este que combina literatura e filosofia de uma maneira singular, ambas se mesclando para compor o sentido político da obra, ambas com igual direito de cidadania em Utopia.<br>The thesis aims to understand Utopia as a modern political work of literary and philosophical character. The approach to the literary aspect is made in the first chapter and resumed at the end, and seeks first to establish the fundamental differences between Utopia and some of the ideal constructs that preceded it and with which it is recurrently identified, such as Age Of Gold, paradise and Atlantis; secondly, it also seeks to verify the proximity and distance of Utopia in relation to satire, a literary genre with which the work has been identified more recently by a portion of the commentators. The philosophical aspect is dealt with in the second and third chapters. In the second, we try to map the relations of Utopia with classical political philosophy, especially with regard to ideal philosophical constructs, while chapter three discusses the connection of Utopia with Erasmian humanism, of which it is at once debtor and critical. The fourth chapter presents the final considerations, seeking to characterize the Utopia as a product of the English Renaissance, a product that combines literature and philosophy in a unique way, both merging to compose the political sense of the work, both with equal citizenship rights in Utopia.

Esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo a análise de um conjunto de escolas construído entre os anos de 1949 e 1953, quando vigorou o 2º Convênio Escolar, acordo entre Estado e Município, com a finalidade de zerar, até as comemorações do IV Centenário, o grave defict de salas de aula na cidade de São Paulo. A equipe de profissionais, contratados para a concepção e desenvolvimento dos projetos, dirigida pelo arquiteto Hélio de Queiroz Duarte, era composta pelos arquitetos Eduardo Corona e Roberto Goulart Tibau, cariocas formados pela Escola Nacional de Belas Artes e pelos paulistas Oswaldo Côrrea Gonçalves, engenheiroarquiteto, e Ernest Robert Carvalho Mange, engenheiro, ambos formados pela Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo. O trabalho dessa equipe resultou na construção de 52 edifícios escolares aos quais foram aplicados, em seus programas arquitetônicos, os conceitos de uma escola aberta à comunidade, conforme apregoava o educador Anísio Teixeira, com quem o arquiteto Hélio Duarte trabalhou, na Bahia, no planejamento de uma rede de escolas públicas voltada à inclusão das crianças carentes, que não tinham acesso à educação pública. Esse convívio entre o educador e o arquiteto traduziu-se em sólidos conceitos pedagógicos, aplicados na concepção dos projetos arquitetônicos do convênio escolar: arquitetura e pedagogia, a partir dos princípios utópicos da arquitetura moderna e das idéias libertadoras da escola nova resultaram na unidade que caracterizou esse conjunto de escolas. O meu objetivo em pesquisar esse conjunto de obras está na possibilidade de reconstruir a história da moderna arquitetura brasileira através do viés da educação e, para tanto, traçar uma linha histórica, objetivando localizar o início da ligação entre os pedagogos escolanovistas e a arquitetura. No início dos anos 30, em plena era Vargas, assistimos à construção de um plano visando ao desenvolvimento do país, a partir do estabelecimento de um parque industrial nacional. Esse movimento provocou profundas mudanças na estrutura social brasileira. A educação, através do movimento escolanovista, passou a ser indutora dessa transformação, ao lutar pelo direito de todas as crianças de freqüentarem uma escola pública, além de apresentar um novo modelo pedagógico decorrente dessa nova postura que levou à necessidade de um novo espaço físico para abrigar essa escola renovada. O plano de desenvolvimento nacional, no plano cultural, uniu políticos e intelectuais na construção de uma identidade nacional, e a arquitetura, enquanto expressão de um tempo, apropriou-se dos conceitos racionalistas da arquitetura moderna internacional que, nas mãos de jovens arquitetos, pôde encontrar na arquitetura escolar um rico campo de experimentação. O cenário desse movimento é a cidade de São Paulo que, em meados da década de 40, já havia se transformado em metrópole internacional e revelava, em seu espaço urbano, a contradição entre a riqueza e a pobreza, na divisão entre centro e periferia. As escolas do convênio escolar vieram atender aos bairros que tiveram, na escola pública, o primeiro sinal da presença de um Estado que, saído da ditadura de Getúlio Vargas, democratizava-se.<br>This thesis focuses on the analysis of a set of schools built between 1949 and 1953 in São Paulo, during the 2nd School Agreement (2º Convênio Escolar), a contract between state and municipality authorities ,which its main purpose was to extirpate the serious lack of classrooms,until the Celebration of the 400th Anniversary of the city of São Paulo. The team engaged in the conception and development of the projects was coordinated by the architect Hélio de Queiroz Duarte and composed by two architects from Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Corona and Roberto Goulart Tibau, both graduated at Escola Nacional de Belas Artes, Oswaldo Correa Gonçalves, engineerarchitect and Ernest Robert Carvalho Mange, engineer, both graduated at Escola Politécnica from University of São Paulo. The result of their work are 52 schools which have been built with a specific architectural programme, concepts of a school opened to the community, according to Anísio Teixeiras beliefs, educator, with whom Hélio Duarte has worked in Bahia, developing a public school planning to include deprived children and give them opportunity to attend a school. This exchange of ideas between architect and educator resulted in solid pedagogic concepts, and were applied on the projects of the Convênio Escolar ,architecture and pedagogy, beginning with the idealistic principles from modern architecture and the renewal ideas from New School Movement in Brazil (Escola Nova), coming from the international movement Education Act, resulted in an identity which characterized this set of schools. The objective of this research is to create the possibility to recognize the history of Brazilian Modern Architecture from the educational perspective and design a time scale to locate the beginning between pedagogues from Escola Nova movement and architecture. In the beginning of 1930s, during Getúlio Vargas era,we watched the construction of a national development plan, from the establishment of a national industrial park.This movement caused deep changes into social Brazilian structure. Education, through Escola Nova movement, became the guide line of this transformation, fighting for the childrens right to attend public school, besides presenting a new pedagogical model structured from this new attitude which claimed for a new space to reflect this renewal model of school. The national development plan, at the cultural sphere, got together politicians and intelectuals to build a national identity, and architecture, meaning here the expression of a time, appropriated the rationalism of modern international architecture that, in the hands of young architects could find a rich field of experiment. São Paulo is the scene of this movement, that in the mid of 1940s, was already an international metropolis and revealed in its urban space, the contradiction between richness and poorness, between center and outskirts. The schools of the Convênio Escolar came to serve the districts which have, in the public school, the first sign of the presence of a State Government that, coming from the dictatorship of Getulio Vargas, start a new democracy phase.

Francis, Kevin. "Democracy, citizenship and utopia." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1988. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/30647/.
Full textAbstract:
In this work I attempt to explore and correct a misconception of democracy. Standard accounts of democracy, I argue in Chapter One, adopt a functional/normative approach and focus upon either the institutional mechanisms for the fair and peaceful resolution of conflicts, or upon the moral opportunities of citizenship which the Liberal Democratic State provides, or upon the intrinsic benefits of political participation. The adoption of these perspectives leads to an account of democracy in which the citizen is seen as the holder of nominal political power. That this obstructs our understanding of democracy can be seen by asking what would be required in order to further democratise political agency, independently of extending democratic practice into non-expressly political life-spheres. The answer to this question requires a conception of the citizen as exercising effective political power; and only from this point can we construct the institutions within which such power is to be exercised. This is referred to as a 'bottom-up' perspective of democracy. The problem of democracy which confronts us is thus conceptual. The task is that of elaborating a concept of democracy which is centred on the citizen as the holder and exerciser of effective political power; i.e. one grounded on a 'rich' conception of citizenship. The argument of the thesis develops as follows. In Chapter Two I consider whether the justification of government is to be sought for solely in its good consequences or whether political participation is a necessary element. Here, I develop J S Mill's argument by considering the rule of a benevolent despot which would obviate the need for a protective function in political participation. The argument forms the ground for a critique of the instrumentalist view of political participation. In Chapter Three I begin the reconceptualisation of democracy by constructing non-functional models of democracy; models which are ordered according to the effective and formal power held by the individual citizen and which take the minimum expression of political power to be 'anterior popular consent'. The three models generated are termed Minimal, Medial and Maximal Democracies. The construction of these models restricts its focus to a central theme of democratic theory: the legislative process. This refusal to address the problem of the democratisation of executive, administrative and judicial powers both aids clarity and serves to emphasise the enormity of the project of democratisation. The models presuppose no given socio-economic context. Chapter Four seeks to clarify some of the sources of confusion in the conceptualisation of medial and maximal democracy by examining three non-minimal models: Robert Paul Wolff's model of an 'Instant Direct Democracy'; Jean-Jacques Rousseau's theory of the sovereignty of the general will; and the democratic practice of classical Athens. Both Wolff and Rousseau, it is argued, present medial and not maximal models of democracy. Our understanding of democracy, I argue, is underpinned by a conception of the responsible exercise of power. In Chapter Five I construct the reflective model of medial democracy: that of democracy as popular assent. The project here is essentially Rawlsian: of using the model to examine and refine our intuitions regarding democracy, thereby achieving a 'reflective equilibrium'. The model assumes an elective legislature which generates, discusses and revises, and approves or rejects legislative proposals; but that the ultimate power of enactment rests with the citizenry: popular assent must be secured before such proposals can become law. The reflective model envisages concentrating this power of assent in randomly chosen sub-sets of the citizen-body. This provides an opportunity for all citizens to exercise effective political power, but not conjointly. This places in a position of therapeutic trust those citizens chosen to confer or withhold assent for any given legislative proposal. The reflective model is thus analogous to the familiar practice of jury service. The question of whether all citizens should be invited to exercise effective political power is thus brought into sharp relief; and the tensions between the twin demands of democratic equality and democratic utility are explored. Chapter Six pursues that question through the attempt to sketch the characteristics of a rich conception of citizenship. The approach adopted is to ask what would have to be the case for citizenship to be considered a worthwhile activity. Mill's theory of lower and higher pleasures is adapted for this purpose. Neither the rich conception of citizenship, nor the consideration of political judgment which follows, conclusively resolves the tension between the demands of democratic equality and democratic utility. The attempt to elaborate a bottom-up theory of democracy, grounded on a conception of the citizen as the holder and exerciser of effective political power, represents a radical challenge to the pluralist conception of the Liberal Democratic State. That challenge, however, need not be external to liberalism. In Chapter Seven I argue that the eunomic strain of utopian thought, as represented by Thomas More's Utopia, offers a competing liberal conception of the State. This chapter thus examines some central issues in and critiques of utopian thought. The analysis of the Utopia is set within the context of More's life and leads to the identification of the 'utopian project' as the attempt to stimulate the desire for political reform by extending the bounds of plausibility with respect to political possibilities. The chapter concludes with the attempt to defend utopianism against both its liberal pluralist and its Marxian critics and argues that there is a need for a utopian element within Marxian socialism.

Full textAbstract:
Questa tesi è incentrata sull'unica opera di Aemilia Lanyer
pervenutaci, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum. La raccolta, pubblicata nel 1611
quando l'autrice aveva 42 anni, sembra avesse lo scopo di riallacciare i
rapporti con potenti mecenati e di trovarne di nuovi.
Il genere religioso era uno dei pochi considerati accettabili per delle
scrittrici donne, ma la scelta della Lanyer è innovativa in quanto preferisce
un tipo di opera religiosa originale alle più comuni traduzioni. La raccolta è
attraversata da contraddizioni e tensioni, e infatti è segnata da continue
oscillazioni tra la lode e la critica.
Il primo capitolo analizza la struttura formale del Salve Deus, in
particolare le varie le varie parti che compongono l'opera. Se ne possono
identificare tre sezioni principali all'interno: un gruppo di nove dediche a
possibili mecenati, una sezione piuttosto lunga che consiste nella narrazione
della passione di Cristo, e un poemetto epidittico in lode di Cookham, il
possedimento dove risiedevano occasionalmente Margaret e Anne Clifford,
due tra le più importanti mecenati della Lanyer. La sezione centrale, per la
sua posizione e la notevole lunghezza, era molto probabilmente considerata
dall'autrice la parte principale dell'opera.
Il secondo capitolo presenta un'analisi testuale del Salve Deus,
fecalizzata soprattutto su metrica, ritmo e le principali figure retoriche
riscontrate nell'opera. Il terzo capitolo identifica e analizza dicotomie e
parallelismo in quanto figure retoriche dominanti nella raccolta, a livello
formale, strutturale e tematico.
Il quarto capitolo è incentrato sull'ultima parte del Salve Deus, cioè il
poemetto epidittico 'The Description of Cooke-ham', in rapporto alle altre
sezioni della raccolta. Lo scopo di questa parte della tesi è quello di
segnalare gli elementi omogenei o devianti all'interno di 'Cooke-ham',
scoprendo quindi (almeno in parte) la fitta rete di riferimenti che lega
macrotesto e microtesto.
Il quinto capitolo verte sull'identificazione dei vari generi riscontrabili
nel Salve Deus, un'opera complessa e composita, mettendoli in relazione
alla tradizione. La seconda parte di questo capitolo tratta parallelamente
'Cooke-ham' della Lanyer e 'To Penshurst' di Ben Jonson, con particolare
riferimento al rapporto dei due poeti coi loro mecenati.
Il sesto capitolo affronta un aspetto cruciale dell'opera della Lanyer,
cioè la negoziazione del suo rapporto con le donne mecenati. I punti
principali analizzati sono le ragioni della scelta di un numero così alto di
mecenati (esclusivamente donne), il perché l'autrice abbia scelto in
particolare quelle donne come possibili mecenati e le strategie messe in atto
per 'adattare' le dediche alle destinatane. Salve Deus è un'opera
singolarmente ambigua, poiché presenta, all'interno di schemi tradizionali
dal punto di vista strutturale, tematico e formale, elementi con un alto
potenziale sovversivo.
Oggetto della seconda parte di questo capitolo è la veemente difesa
delle donne che la Lanyer inserisce all'interno della narrazione della
passione di Cristo. 'Eves Apologie' (L'Apologia di Eva) è infatti uno degli
inteventi in favore delle donne più coraggiosi di questo periodo. In questa
parte del capitolo, l'opera della Lanyer è messa in relazione ad altre difese
delle donne dell'epoca, precisamente con i pamphlet di Rachel Speght,
'Ester Sowernam' e 'Constantia Munda'.
Seppur rendendo il debito omaggio alle persone potenti, la Lanyer
attua una critica piuttosto decisa delle soffocanti strutture sociali maschili, e
anche dell'indifferenza e condiscendenza spesso dimostrata dalle nobili
mecenati nei confronti di persone provenienti da un diverso ceto sociale
(seppure appartenenti al loro stesso sesso). Da questo punto di vista, Salve
Deus è quindi l'espressione allo stesso tempo delle critiche e dei desideri
dell'autrice. E' l'utopia femminile della Lanyer.
This work focuses on Lanyer's only extant work, the poem Salve Deus
Rex Judaeorum. The collection was published in 1611, when the poet was
42, and was seemingly aimed at regaining contacts with powerful patrons,
besides catering for new ones.
Religious writing was one of the few genres deemed as acceptable for
women writers, yet Lanyer was innovative in her choice to prefer original
writing to the more usual translations. The poem is crossed by tensions and
contradictions, especially when touching the poet's relationship with her
patronesses, so much so that the work displays continuous oscillations
between praise and criticism.
The first chapter deals with the formal structure of Salve Deus,
especially with the several parts composing the poem. Basically it is
possible to identify three main sections within the work: a group of nine
dedications in praise of prospective patronesses, a lengthy section narrating
the passion of Christ, and an epideictic poem in praise of Cookham, a manor
where Margaret and Anne Clifford (two of Lanyer's most important
patronesses) occasionally resided. The title poem, of remarkable extension
and set in central position, was very probably meant by the author as the
core of her work.
The second chapter presents a textual analysis of the poem, focused on
metre, rhythm and on the main rhetorical figures in the poem. The third
chapter treats and identifies dichotomy and parallelism as the governing
figures in Salve Deus, both at a formal, structural and thematic level.
The fourth chapter concentrates on the last section of Salve Deus,
namely the epideictic poem 'The Description of Cooke-ham', in relation to
the other parts of the collection. This chapter aims at detecting
homogeneous or deviant features within 'Cooke-ham', and at uncovering (at
least partially) the thick net of references tying macrotext and microtext.
The fifth chapter tries to identify the several genres displayed by Salve
Deus, a highly composite work, and links them with the tradition. The
second part of the sixth chapter compares and contrasts Lanyer's 'Cookeham'
with Ben Jonson's 'To Penshurst', paying particular attention to the
treatment of patronage in the two estate poems.
The sixth chapter faces a crucial aspect of Lanyer's work, namely the
poet's negotiation of her relationships with her patronesses. The main points
treated are the reasons why the poet chose to address such a large number of
dedications to exclusively female dedicatees, the grounds for her choice of
those particular women as prospective patrons, and the strategies used to
'adapt' the dedications to the addressees. Salve Deus is a singularly doublevoiced
work, as Lanyer inserts within traditional frames (structural, thematic
and formal), elements with a highly disruptive potential.
The object of second part of this chapter is the astonishingly vehement
defence of women inserted by Lanyer within the narration of the passion.
'Eves Apologie' is indeed one of the most spirited interventions in favour of
women of this period. In this part of the chapter, moreover, Lanyer's poem
is compared with other contemporary defences of women, precisely with the
pamphlets by Rachel Speght, 'Esther Sowernam' and 'Constantia Munda'.
While paying due homage to people holding power, Lanyer is
considerably sharp in her critique of male suffocating social structures, but
also of the aristocratic indifference and condescencence of noblewomen
even toward the members of their own sex, if they do not belong to their
social class. Seen in this light, Salve Deus is therefore Lanyer's expression
of her stigmas and at the same time of her desires. It is Lanyer's female
Utopia.

<p>Humanity has always dreamed about a better world. These dreams has manifested themselves in the vision of Utopia - the good place, but also the non-existing place. Up until World War II man still wrote optimistic descriptions of this ideal world, and spread the idea through literature. In the aftermath of the atomic bomb and under the influence of the cold war, these publications seized to surface in literary surroundings. Despite this utopia did not die - it has only changed. Today you can find utopia, not primarily in books, but in Science Fiction. TV’s biggest Science Fiction-series, Star Trek, is perhaps the best example of this. The Master's thesis "Utopia Trek - a travel through Star Trek with the concept of utopia" takes you through the history of utopia and into its new habitat, Star Trek, where the essence of a utopia for the 21th century is found, discussed and reevaluated.</p><br><p>Mänskligheten har alltid drömt om en bättre värld.

Full textAbstract:
Complexe et mystérieuse, l’utopie représente sans doute l’une des notions dont la longue carrière dans l’histoire de la pensée et de la culture humaines est incontestable. Compte tenu de cette grande richesse conceptuelle, notre analyse de l’utopie dans la littérature française de l’aube du classicisme à l’aube des Lumières commence par l’esquisse du cadre théorique de l’utopie, à partir du mot lui-Même, des multiples significations qu’il a reçues au long du temps et par la mise en évidence des deux paradigmes qui le caractérisent, à savoir un paradigme théorique et un paradigme littéraire. Tout en suivant l’origine et les métamorphoses du concept d’utopie jusqu’à son évolution vers un genre littéraire particulier, nous nous sommes arrêtée sur un corpus de textes qui témoignent, à notre avis, à la fois de la consécration, de la maturité et de l’élasticité du genre utopique, il s’agit des deux romans de Cyrano de Bergerac, Les États et Empires de la Lune et du Soleil, du roman de Gabriel de Foigny, La Terre australe connue, des Aventures de Télémaque de Fénelon et des trois pièces de Marivaux, L’île des esclaves, L’île de la raison et La Colonie. À la lumière de la signification duale du terme créé par More, à savoir celle de lieu de nulle part (« ou-Topos »), mais aussi celle de lieu de bonheur (« eu-Topos »), nous avons divisé notre étude en deux grandes parties, l’une consacrée à l’analyse de l’espace utopique et l’autre à l’analyse de la société utopique. Plurivalent et hétérogène, l’espace utopique suit, dans chacun des ouvrages analysés, quelques principes généraux tels que l’insularité, l’altérité et l’isolement, tout en prenant, en même temps, des configurations à part, ce qui témoigne à la fois de l’identité particulière de chaque œuvre choisie et du réseau de significations qui se tisse entre elles. L’analyse de la société utopique est elle aussi une source extrêmement riche d’observations et de conclusions et s’appuie sur trois coordonnées majeures : l’altérité de la société utopique, sa nature idéale et sa critique implicite de la société humaine. Derrière ces piliers théoriques, nous retrouvons la description effective de la société utopique, avec le portrait de l’Utopien, le procès de l’homme et de nombreux aspects économiques, politiques et organisationnels qui caractérisent toute communauté<br>Complex and mysterious, utopia has undoubtedly been one of the concepts whose long career in the history of human thinking and culture has been undeniable. Having in view this conceptual legacy our analysis of utopia in the French literature from the beginning of Classicism to the beginning of the Enlightment starts with the description of the theoretical background of utopia, with the word, as such, and the various significances that it has received along the time and with the presentation of the two paradigms characterizing it, the theoretical and the literary paradigm. From the origin and the metamorphoses of the concept of utopia down to its evolution towards a literary genre in itself we have approached a corpus of texts that demonstrate once and again the consecration, the maturity and the elasticity of the utopian genre, in the two novels of Cyrano de Bergerac, Les États et Empires de la Lune et du Soleil, the novel of Gabriel de Foigny, La Terre australe connue, the Aventures de Télémaque by Fénelon and the three plays by Marivaux, L’île des esclaves, L’île de la raison et La Colonie. In the light of the dual significance of the term created by More, that of a place of nowhere (« ou-Topos »), but also that of a place of happiness (« eu-Topos »), we have divided the paper into two big parts, one devoted to the analysis of the utopian space and the other to the analysis of the utopian society. Plurivalent and heterogeneous, the utopian space pursues, in every work analyzed, some general principles such as the insularity, the otherness and the isolation, and, at the same time, all of them acquire special configurations which proves both the particular identity of the work chosen and the web of significances that binds them. The analysis of the utopian society is in itself a rich source of observations and conclusions and relies on three major coordinates: the otherness of the utopian society, its ideal nature and its implicit scrutiny of the human society. Behind these theoretical pillars we discover the actual description of the utopian society, with the portrait of the Utopian being, the trial of the human being, and the numerous economic, political and organizational aspects that characterize the entire community

Full textAbstract:
La contre-utopie est une branche de la science-fiction qui, à l’opposé de l’utopie, s’attache à décrire non plus des mondes idéaux mais des sociétés cauchemardesques. Bien qu’ancien, le genre ne prend réellement son essor qu’à la fin du XIXème et au XXème siècle et accompagne donc les développements de la société industrielle pour lui renvoyer l’image de ses défauts.Cette thèse se propose de lire certaines des images forgées par contre-utopies à partir d’un schème scientifique, celui de la thermodynamique, soit cette discipline qui, à partir de l’étude de l’économie des machines à vapeur, a servi de tremplin à la révolution industrielle au XIXème siècle. Parce qu’elle a pour but de tracer une physique de la valeur économique, le recours à la thermodynamique va nous servir à analyser l’économie des contre-utopies et à tracer par ce biais les contours d’une théorie critique des sociétés décrites.S’intéressant à la contre-utopie dans la perspective d’une critique du monde industriel, les œuvres retenues pour le corpus, tant cinématographiques que littéraires, sont avant tout issues d’Amérique du nord (États-Unis), d’Europe (France, Grande-Bretagne) et du Japon et produites au cours du XXème siècle, siècle où les effets de l’industrialisation des sociétés dévoilent leur caractère néfaste. En examinant avec de nombreux exemples à l’appui comment la contre-utopie procède à une transposition politique de principes physiques, cette thèse a pour objectif de mettre en évidence les leçons de philosophie morale et politique que l’on peut retirer du genre tout en envisageant sous un angle nouveau les rapports entre science et science-fiction<br>Counter-utopia is a branch of science-fiction which, contrary to utopia, describes either ideal worlds but nightmarish societies. Although ancient, the genre really takes off at the end of the nineteenth and during the twentieth century, accompanying the developments of the industrial society to send it back the image of their main defects.This thesis suggests to read some of the images made by counter-utopias from a scientific scheme, that of the thermodynamics, a discipline which, from the study of the economy of steam engines, was one of the main springboard to the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century. Because it aims at drawing a physics of the economic value, the recourse to thermodynamics is going to serve us to analyze the economy of counter-utopias and to draw by this way the outlines of a critical theory of the described societies.Being interested in counter-utopia in the perspective of a criticism of the industrial world, the works held for the corpus, films and literature (novel and short stories), belong to works produced in North America (United-States), Europe (France, Great-Britain) and Japan during the twentieth century, a century in which the effects of the industrialization of societies show their fatal aspect. By examining with numerous examples how counter-utopia proceed to a political transposition of physical principles, this thesis has for objective to enlighten the lessons of moral and political philosophy given by the whole genre and to consider under a new angle the links between science and science fiction

We live in an age of rapid change. The advance of science and

when social values have had to adapt to a changed environment. Such
times have proved fertile ground for the expansion of the imagination.
Utopian literature offers a vast archive of information concerning the
relationship between scientific and technological progress and social
change.
Alterations in the most basic machinery of society inspired utopian
authors to write of distant and future worlds which had achieved a state
of harmony and plenty. The dilemmas which writers faced were particular
to their era, but there also emerged certain universal themes and
questions: What is the best organisation of society? What tools would
be adequate to the task? What does it mean to be human?
The dividing line on these issues revolves around two opposed
beliefs. Some perceived the power inherent in technology to effect the
greatest improvement in the human condition. Others were convinced that
the organisation of the social order must come first so as to create an
environment sympathetic to perceived human needs. There are,
necessarily, contradictions in such a division. They can be seen plainly
in More's Utopia itself. More wanted to see new science and technique
developed. But he also condemned the social consequences which
inevitably flowed from the process of discovery. These consequences led
More to create a utopia based on social reorganisation. In the main,
the utopias of Francis Bacon, Edward Bellamy and the later H. G. Wells
accepted science, while the work of William Morris, Aldous Huxley and
Kurt Vonnegut rejected science in preference for a different social order.
More's Utopia and Bacon's New Atlantis were written at a time when
feudal, agriciTfural society wasbeeing transformed by new discoveries
and techniques. In a later age, Bellamy's Looking Backward and Morris's
News From Nowhere offer contrary responses to society at the height of
the Industrial evolution. These four authors serve as a prelude to the
main area of the thesis which centres on the twentieth century. Wells,
though his first novel appeared in 1895, produced the vast bulk of his
work in the current century. Huxley acts as an appropriate balance to
Wells and also exemplifies the shift from utopia to dystopia. The last
section of the thesis deals with the work of Kurt Vonnegut and includes
an interview with that author.
The twentieth century has seen the proliferation of dystopias,
portraits of the disastrous consequences of the headlong pursuit of
science and technology, unallied to human values. Huxley and Vonnegut
crystallised the fears of a modern generation: that we create a
soulless, mechanised, urban nightmare. The contemporary fascination
with science in literature is merely an extension of a process with a
long tradition and underlying theme. The advance of science and
technology created the physical and intellectual environment for utopian
authors which determined the form and content of their visions.

Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de
Mestre em Contabilidade e Finanças<br>Na última década, o conceito de Relato Integrado (RI) tem surgido como um desafio às organizações, resultante da necessidade de elaborar um relatório coerente e estruturado, que englobe tanto a informação financeira, como a informação não financeira, por forma a divulgar para além das demonstrações financeiras, também a informação de Responsabilidade Social das Organizações (RSO), Relato Ambiental e de Desenvolvimento Sustentável.
As empresas divulgam este tipo de informação de forma voluntária, pois, por enquanto, ainda não existe uma diretiva que assuma esta informação como uma obrigação por parte da empresa.
Os Relatórios e Contas das empresas são a forma de comunicação para com os stakeholders e têm o objetivo de informar e fornecer os dados necessários, comunicando assim de forma clara e precisa.
Este estudo procedeu à caracterização do conceito de RI, às práticas empresariais de RI e à utilização de um quadro de referência – Global Reporting Iniciative (GRI) – para uma amostra de empresas.
Com base na amostra utilizada, bem como os resultados obtidos do estudo podemos afirmar que existem empresas a elaborar um relato integrado, procedendo à utilização do quadro de referência do GRI. Todavia não existe uma forma comum de inserir esses critérios nos relatórios anuais das empresas, assistindo-se a diferentes formas, embora com referência às Diretrizes do G4 para paginação anterior (ou posterior) dos seus relatórios anuais.<br>In the last decade, the concept of Integrated Reporting (IR) has emerged as a challenge to organizations, resulting from the need to develop a coherent and structured report, which covers both the financial information, such as non-financial information in order to spread apart the financial statements, also the Corporate Social Responsibility (RSO), Envirnomental Reporting and Sustainable Development.
Companies disclose such information voluntarily because, for now, there is still a policy that takes this information as an obligation by the company.
The Annual Reports of companies are the way of communication to the stakeholders and aim to inform and provide the necessary data, and communicating clearly and accurately.
This study carried out the characterization of the concept of RI, the RI business practices and the use of a frame of reference - Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) - for a sample of companies.
Based on the sample used and the results of the study we can say that there are companies to develop an integrated reporting, proceeding to use the GRI framework. However there is a common way to enter these criteria in the annual reports of companies, attending to different forms, although with reference to the G4 Guidelines for previous paging (or posterior) of their annual reports.

Full textAbstract:
The 'collapse' of communism in the Soviet Union, and the resulting shockwave that unsettled the organised left across the world, came to define and close the story of the twentieth cenrury attempt to build for socialism. For the organisations of the British left, the period of the 19805 and 19905 saw major shifts both in attitude and organisational structure, weakening the strength of positions and influence that they held within the labour and union movements. However, following the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, the concept of socialism has been revisited in academic discussion with the aim of reinvigorating it for the twenty-fIrst cennny. Drawing on an oral historical approach, the research presented here in thirtyfour interviews with left-wing activists, provides a new ground-level narrative on the development and operationalisation of socialist political thought and action. It is a narrative that contextualises established political commentary on socialism in Britain in the words of those who work towards a socialist society, founding our understanding in lived experience. This thesis develops and implements an analytical model based in generational theory in order to examine the development of political consciousness simultaneously in the short and long term; across the horizontal and vertical transmission of ideas and experiences within left-wing organisations and among activists. It argues that a generational approach allows a unique and vital perspective in understanding the social construction of ideology, analysis and purposeful action for social change. It provides a language in which we may better understand the complexity of the negotiated relationship between locational circumstances and canonical narratives; personal experience and ideological adherence. The thesis argues that this negotiated relationship is a dynamic two-way process of interaction, and that political consciousness must be understood in the locational appropriation of canonical history; the canon as a product of collective experience.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-26<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>This dissertation contains a sociological approach to the anti-globalization movement. From the analysis of Marx's capitalist society and its contradictions where movements that question the society and seek to reform or transform this. We also discuss the role of youth in modern society and their participation in social movements. The ant globalization movement began in the late 1990s with protests against the World Trade Organization; thereafter several protests that characterized the anti-globalization movement were performed. These different groups with varied trends protests tried to unify the movement with the creation of the World Social Forum. Thus we analyzed the anti-globalization movement as the reemergence of radical trends and a space in which party left the hegemony exercised, resulting in reflux of movement as a whole without something concrete be achieved.<br>A presente dissertação teve como objetivo realizar uma abordagem sociológica do movimento antiglobalização. Para tanto, partiu-se das análises de Karl Marx sobre a sociedade capitalista, considerando a atuação do movimento antiglobalização dentro dela, no sentido de busca reformas ou transformações sociais. Além disso, também discutimos o papel da juventude na sociedade moderna e sua participação nos movimentos sociais. O movimento antiglobalização iniciou-se no fim dos anos 1990, com protestos contra a Organização Mundial do Comércio. Após essa data, foram realizados vários protestos que caracterizaram o movimento antiglobalização. Nestes protestos, diferentes grupos, com tendências variadas, tentaram unificar o movimento com a criação do Fórum Social Mundial. Desta forma, analisamos o movimento antiglobalização como uma reemergência de tendências mais radicais, mas que teve um refluxo no espaço em que a esquerda partidária exerceu hegemonia, impedindo a conquista de algo mais concreto

Previous issue date: 2017-02-23<br>The present dissertation has the scope to present the institute of the single tax
and to analyze it in the light of the principles of optimal taxation. The single
taxation model has stood out due to its apparent simplicity and economic
efficiency, being considered as a solution to the current complex and costly tax
structures. In this way, the feasibility of the single tax is questioned in the
current legal systems. Through an instrumental bibliographical procedure, the
deduction was used to answer such problematic. For that, a priori, the history of
the single tax, from the first records in France and the studies of Physiocracy, to
the current Brazilian debate on the single federal tax on financial transactions
was reported. In the second moment, the proposal was evaluated under the
prism of the main theories of the optimal taxation of Smith, Musgrave, Neumark
and Stiglitz. Finally, the last chapter developed the contemporary debate on the
single tax, explaining its advantages and disadvantages, and then concluding
on its viability or not.<br>A presente Disserta????o tem o escopo de apresentar o instituto do imposto
??nico e analis??-lo ?? luz dos princ??pios da tributa????o ??tima. O modelo de
tributa????o ??nica tem se destacado devido ?? sua aparente simplicidade e
efici??ncia econ??mica, sendo considerado como solu????o para as atuais
estruturas tribut??rias complexas e onerosas. Dessa forma, questiona-se a
praticabilidade do imposto ??nico nos ordenamentos jur??dicos atuais. Por meio
de um procedimento instrumental bibliogr??fico, recorreu-se a dedu????o para
responder tal problem??tica. Para isso, a priori, relatou-se o hist??rico do imposto
??nico, desde os primeiros registros na Fran??a e os estudos da Fisiocracia, at??
o debate atual brasileiro do imposto ??nico federal sobre movimenta????es
financeiras. No segundo momento, a proposta foi avaliada sob o prisma das
principais teorias da tributa????o ??tima de Smith, Musgrave, Neumark e Stiglitz.
Por fim, o ??ltimo cap??tulo desenvolveu o debate contempor??neo acerca do
imposto ??nico, explicitando suas vantagens e desvantagens, para, ent??o,

Este estudo parte de nossas inquietações como profissionais interventivos na área dos apoios educativos a crianças e jovens com necessidades educativas especiais. Cogitamos que a consolidação da Escola Inclusiva, depende em grande parte de uma consciência colectiva e individual de todos os intervenientes no processo educativo da escola, nomeadamente dos educadores e professores, actores basilares do processo educativo. Procurar conhecer e perceber essa consciência, mormente as percepções e as atitudes dos docentes, bem como o tipo de respostas de que os alunos diferentes beneficiam nos estabelecimentos do sistema regular de educação/ensino foram os objectivos que nortearam este estudo. A presente pesquisa caracterizou-se como um estudo predominantemente quantitativo, embora com uma abordagem descritiva e exploratória, portanto, também, de cunho qualitativo. Com base nos objectivos propostos para a Educação Inclusiva em Portugal, bem como no seu percurso, podemos constatar com os resultados deste estudo, que muito já tem sido feito em busca de uma educação para todos. Porém, ainda há uma grande caminhada a ser percorrida, tanto no que se refere à formação e capacitação dos profissionais da educação para efectivar este modelo educativo, como no enfrentar e ultrapassar uma das maiores barreiras obstativas a qualquer doutrina: o preconceito. /***Abstract - This study begins with our concerns as intervenient professionals in the area of educational support to children and young with special educational needs. We consider that the consolidation of a Inclusive School, depends on, in a great part, from a collective and individual conscience of all interventionists in the school educational process, namely of educators and teachers, essential actors in the educational process. The aims that had guided this study where the knowledge and the awareness of this conscience, especially the perceptions and the altitudes of docents, as well as the type of answer that different students benefit in the normal educational. The present investigation has been characterized by a predominant quantitative study, although with an exploring and describing approach, therefore, with a qualitative aspect too. We can prove with the result of this study, with the basis on the aims proposed to an Inclusive Education in Portugal as well as with its course, that most of it has already been dope in the search of an education to all. Nevertheless, there is still a great way to be covered, not only in what concerns the formation and ability of professionals of education to accomplish this educational modal, but also to face and to go beyond one of the greatest obstructive barriers in any doctrine: the prejudice.

L'elaborato si propone di ripercorrere ed illustrare i punti nodali del pensiero marcusiano a partire dagli autori che maggiormente ne hanno influenzato la riflessione e dall'analisi delle sue opere principali. Marcuse viene preso in considerazione in quanto esponente di un pensiero critico il cui approccio è ancora oggi valido e che suscita riflessioni profonde sulla realtà attuale e sulle sue concrete possibilità. L'intero lavoro intende dunque proporsi come un invito al pensiero autonomo ed originale nella contemporaneità, capace di porre in discussione il sistema sociale sulla base della riscoperta, invocata da Marcuse, della trascendenza, dell'utopia e dei valori.

Full textAbstract:
La presente ricerca intende indagare il giardino nella totalità delle sue significazioni e nella complessità delle relazioni che intercorrono tra i suoi diversi piani – estetico, etico, politico, sociale, tecnico –, che non sono affatto scindibili, ma interdipendenti, percorrendo i sentieri che a partire da esso si inerpicano lungo tutta la vicenda umana. Come scrive Santiago Beruete, «la filosofia non si è mai allontanata troppo dal giardino» e viceversa, poiché modellare la natura secondo ideali, presupposti ideologici e sensibilità storica, è innanzitutto un’operazione filosofica, nonché politica. Il piano di questo lavoro, allora, è rintracciare le origini del concetto di giardino, operare una lettura allegorico-politica della sua storia e della sua evoluzione e interpretare l’attuale catastrofe ecologica come crisi del giardino ideale – quale impossibilità di concepire l’alterità e la stessa possibilità – e del giardino reale – quale totale lacerazione del rapporto uomo-natura che sancisce l’abbandono del giardino e la morte della cura.
Intorno al giardino, alla città e all’utopia ruota e si sviluppa l’intera vicenda dell’uomo, il quale ha sempre tentato di realizzare uno spazio che rendesse possibile la massima felicità e che escludesse, il più possibile, la sofferenza ed i pericoli: la storia dell’uomo è la storia di quel tentativo. La società occidentale, in tal senso, si è da sempre costituita, determinata e identificata in contrapposizione all'ambiente naturale e selvaggio, si tratti della foresta, del mare o del deserto. Questi ultimi, assumeranno un ruolo centrale nell'evoluzione della cultura e nell'immaginario occidentale, quali contraltari del mondo ordinato della legge, inclusa quella di Dio, poiché senza un esterno da desiderare, da temere, da immaginare, non può esservi alcun interno entro il quale abitare. I confini, non solo quelli artificiali, ma anche quelli naturali, svolgono infatti una funzione magico-simbolica e apotropaica, e sono capaci di delineare, entro un universo caotico e anomico, uno spazio ordinato, un nomos.<br>This work focuses on the garden in the totality of its meanings and in the complexity of the relationships existing among its various levels - aesthetic, ethical, political, social and technical, which are in no way separable, but interdependent - by following the paths that, from the garden onwards, climb throughout human history. As Santiago Beruete writes, "philosophy has never strayed too far from the garden" and vice versa, since modelling nature according to ideals, ideological assumptions and historical sensitivity is first and foremost a philosophical, as well as a political, operation. The plan of this work, then, is to trace the origins of the concept of the garden, to make an allegorical-political reading of its history and evolution, and to interpret the current ecological catastrophe as a crisis of the ideal garden - as the impossibility of conceiving otherness and possibility itself - and of the real garden - as a total laceration of the man-nature relationship that decrees the abandonment of the garden and the death of care.
The entire human history turns and develops around the garden, the city and the utopia. Human beings have always tried to create a space that would allow the greatest possible happiness and that would exclude suffering and danger as far as possible. The history of mankind is the history of that attempt. In this sense, western society has always been constituted, determined and identified in opposition to the natural and wild environment, whether it be the forest, the sea or the desert. The latter will take on a central role in the evolution of Western culture and imagination, as counterbalances to the ordered world of law, including God's law, since without an exterior to be desired, feared and imagined, there can be no interior within which to live. Boundaries, not only artificial boundaries but also natural ones, have a magical, symbolic and apotropaic function, and can outline an ordered space, a nomos, within a chaotic and anomic universe.
