<p> Recently, federal agents across the US have uncovered an unprecedented number of forced labor operations, many involving non-citizens who are forced to perform farm work under threat of violence and deportation. Contemporary scholarship explains this phenomenon as the effect of liberalized economic relations, industrialized agriculture, and consumer demand for cheap products. While instructive, such explanations leave open questions of how historical factors sanction the coercive farm labor relations seen today. Using the genealogical method, this paper examines the history of labor practices in Florida, a state in which forced labor not only flourished before the Civil War, but also in which forced labor remains common today. </p><p> After highlighting how Florida's ante-bellum and post-bellum labor practices and discourses imbued employment with normative valuations, this paper argues that such discourses and practices have since been taken up by state and federal institutions, eventually influencing laws and policies concerning labor, prisoners, and immigrants. These historically embedded practices and discourses, moreover, function to discipline the lives and govern the status of non-citizens in and through employment.</p>

<p> Sovereignty, a mechanism of power around which a state is organized, has emerged as a way to understand the twenty-first-century biopolitical moment. Thinkers including Michel Foucault, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, and Roberto Esposito find sovereignty essential to understanding modern regimes of bodily domination and control. These thinkers look back to early modern England as an originary moment when older theories of sovereign power became attached to emerging modern political systems. Despite the sophistication of these arguments, however, no recent biopolitical theory accounts for the situation of women in historical or current system of power, nor do they discuss the role gender has played in the development of sovereignty.</p><p> My project addresses this ideological and historical gap by examining how sovereignty was being discussed, challenged, and appropriated by literary figures from 1588-1688. In the years leading up to and spanning the Interregnum, sovereignty splintered and became available to formerly disenfranchised individuals, especially women writers. Such women not only appropriated and challenged traditional sovereignty in their texts, but also influenced contemporary and future understandings of power, politics, and gender. Each of my four chapters serves as a test cases of a woman writer engaging with and transforming sovereignty. </p><p> I first examine Elizabeth Cary&rsquo;s closet drama <i>The Tragedy of Mariam, Faire Queen of Jewry</i> (1612); I then move on to Mary Wroth&rsquo;s epic romance <i>The Countess of Montgomery&rsquo;s Urania, Part 1</i> (1621) and <i>Part 2</i> (completed and circulated in manuscript 1629). In the third chapter, I examine Katherine Philips&rsquo; <i>Poems, </i> circulated in manuscript during the Interregnum, and published posthumously in 1667; my final chapter then moves to Margaret Cavendish&rsquo;s utopian fiction and work of natural philosophy, <i>The Blazing World.</i> These women challenged traditional notions of body and power, offering their own new understandings of sovereign agency; they enable us to more fully the genealogical progression of sovereignty and to incorporate the category of gender into twenty-first century understandings of biopolitics. </p>

The status of titles in both painting and literature changed dramatically during the 19th century, as their largely enonciative function evolved to become a form of metaphor, and even disjunction. The use of titles as tools for communication became increasingly evident, as they conveyed views on the overall positioning of art and literature. Painting and literature themselves were undergoing considerable changes, as the figures of the writer and the artist gained consistency and independence. This led to the "crise exquise" diagnosed by Mallarmé in "Crise de vers" (1896). This fin-de-siècle 'crisis' is the starting-point for the analysis undertaken in this thesis, which aims to examine, first, how artists and writers used titles to establish communication between their respective art-forms; then, how titles provided a privileged means of entry into the debates about the relation of painting and literature to the world at large. An exploration of late 19^th- and early 20^th-century painting and literature in Paris -- from post- Mallarmean Symbolism to the beginnings of Surrealism -- the thesis draws on two methodologies: title studies, as they have developed since the 1950s; and existing work on the dialogue between artists and writers. It is composed of six comparative case studies, tracing a genealogy from Paul Gauguin and Alfred Jarry to André Breton and Max Ernst, including discussions of Paul Cézanne and Emile Zola, André Gide and Henri Matisse, Guillaume Apollinaire and Pablo Picasso, Francis Picabia and Tristan Tzara. These comparisons reveal a polarity between two different lineages: one that emphasizes the specificity of each medium and engages with it within the framework of its boundaries, and does not seek to communicate with the world outside their work of art; and the other, which blurs the boundaries between different art-forms and simultaneously engages with the evolutions taking place in culture.

This thesis aims to broaden the scope of magical realism by examining contemporary fiction in Asia and Australasia, regions which have been largely neglected in critical discussion of the narrative mode. My research seeks to modify and expand our collective conception of magical realism through key texts that challenge not only how we read the narrative mode, but also our expectations of it. My analysis involves a dual intervention in the fields of postcolonial studies and world literature. I supplement existing scholarship of magical realism with new paradigms of critical thought, such as epistemology, mythopoeia, ecocriticism, intertextuality and discourse on human rights. Each of the key authors - Indigenous Australian Alexis Wright, New Zealand Maoris Keri Hulme and Witi Ihimaera, Indian-born cosmopolitans Amitav Ghosh and Salman Rushdie, and Chinese Nobel laureate Mo Yan - subjects the narrative mode to differing intellectual, socio-cultural and historical frameworks, and in the process reinvents magical realism to serve their own artistic purposes. The authors' key texts demonstrate the need to recalibrate theory on magical realism in contexts such as Alexis Wright's depiction of ongoing colonisation of Australia's first inhabitants in a supposedly postcolonial country, and Mo Yan's critique of post-communist China. I argue that magical realism has porous borders, not only geographically and culturally, but also in the sense that the narrative mode frequently spills over into other, different generic kinds such that the distinctions between them are often blurred. In addition, magical realism's constant state of transformation makes it particularly difficult to define. Therefore, I propose a minimalist definition of the narrative mode and a flexible approach. However, underlying cultural elements and individual artistic expression in a text may sometimes limit magical realism's utility as a tool for literary analysis. Finally, I explore the notion of a genealogy of magical realism based on polygenesis, emerging in different cultures at different times.

Réfléchir sur le terme espace signifie, d’abord, être conscient des multiples usages sémantiques et des diversités linguistiques dont il est porteur. Son rapport avec les concepts d’œuvre et d’exposition a été modifié au fur et à mesure des changements statutaires respectifs. En ce sens, cette thèse vise à interroger le statut de l’espace d’exposition face aux propositions artistiques contemporaines. Elle se développe autour des concepts d’espace et de lieu de monstration dans leur relation avec les notions principales d’architecture muséale, d’œuvre et d’exposition, à partir des années 1960 et jusqu’à nos jours. Grâce à une étude évolutive et multidisciplinaire, et sans oublier la généalogie des concepts principaux, cette thèse se nourrit de cas concrets et contemporains pour offrir un panorama des espaces d’exposition, singuliers et alternatifs. Il s’agit d’un travail d’analyse qui a décomposé, étudié et restructuré la notion d’espace d’exposition à partir de ses paramètres fondamentaux et de périodes spécifiques ; cela a permis d’insister sur la présence d’un processus évolutif en chaine (sorte de syllogisme) où, d’abord, l’œuvre se fait exposition, ensuite, l’espace se fait œuvre et, enfin, l’espace se fait exposition. Ainsi, derrière un espace façonnable qui évolue par rapport à l’art qu’il accueille, apparait aussi un espace multifonctionnel (un « hyperespace ») qui réclame un art spécifique et de nouvelles exigences expographiques. / First, reflect on the space term means be aware of its multiple semantic uses and of its linguistic diversity. His relationship with the concept of artwork and of exhibition has changed in relation to the respective statutory changes. In this sense, this thesis aims to examine the status of the exhibition space in relation to contemporary artistic proposals. In particular, this thesis is developed around the concepts of Space and Place of the exhibition, in their relationship with the main notions of museum architecture, artwork and exhibition, since 1960 until today. With an evolutionary and multidisciplinary study, and not forgetting the genealogy of main concepts, this thesis is also enriched with concrete and contemporary cases offering a particular view on the exhibition spaces, unique and alternative. It is an analysis that tried to decompose, to study and restructure the concept of exhibition space, from its basic parameters, and in relation to specific historical periods. This allowed to insist on the presence of an evolutionary process (type of syllogism), for which, in the first place, the artwork becomes an exhibition, secondly, the space becomes an artwork and, finally, the space becomes an exhibition. Thus, behind a modular space that evolves in relation to the artwork that contains, it appears also a multifunctional space (a "hyperspace") that claims a specific art and new display requirements.

Ancestral knowledge exerts itself in the daily lives of the Nagas in Northeast India, whether through passed down clan genealogical knowledge, or through dreams and waketime omens. The Angamis, one of the Naga tribes, articulate a close relationship between the ancestral spirits they meet in their dreams, and ruopfü, one’s always-perceiving soul or life-being, complicating the boundary that would separate dreaming and waking states. In mediating these two states, the Angami ruopfü therefore has a powerful ability to inhabit these two spaces simultaneously, thus allowing for their reversibility. These processes of inhabiting the ‘real’ in waking and dreaming, occur in the midst of significant political turmoil, and this thesis examines the ways in which dreams index terrains of clan and state power in relation to a broader cosmic struggle. Moreover, as a guiding principle of personhood, dreaming, and reversibility elucidate the ways in which Angamis explore, understand, and generate alternative futures. I begin the discussion in the domain of the kitchen hearth. Within this gendered space characterised by a continuous rhythm of quotidian practices and attentiveness to dreams and omens, a significant political counter-narrative to the enduring pattern of clan patriarchy emerges. This tense symbiosis is characterised by a relationship of nurturance, but at the same time resistance to patriarchal meddling in domestic affairs. I then describe how this tension mirrors a power dynamic perceived by many in their dreams in which the clan collectively confronts morally ambivalent spiritual forces that inhabit spaces outside of delimited clan domains. This recalls earlier times when public life centred on the propitiation of powerful spirits in order to preserve harvests, and protect clan settlements in times of war. With the advent of Christianity, public discourse is transformed not solely via the iconoclastic demands of the American missionaries, but through a spatiotemporal reorientation of public life towards regularised church membership, and the development of missional institutions. Traditional public rituals, and ritual objects gradually faded, but informal inspirational practices such as divinational healing and dreaming, rooted as they were in the domestic sphere, remained integral to community life. In contemporary Nagaland, Christian charismatic groups have reconsidered the efficacy of traditional practices, and the inspirational potential of dreams, and opened spaces for supervised spirit mediation. These practices, however, have the potential to disrupt the church, and the community, and community elders are alert to their potential dangers, often seeking to defuse spirit mediated charisma as it emerges. The elder generation frequently cites the role of divination in spurring upheaval, and within living memory a young Naga prophetess, inspired by powerful dreams, succeeded in mounting a tribal uprising against British rule in the region. The power of visions and dreams to inspire political movements has not been lost on more recent Naga political groups, and in the final chapter I draw parallels between the nature of charisma to inspire political agency, and the function of the oneiric in normative patriliny, especially in public events, and ultimately in the construction of nationalist ideology. Finally, though the material and social circumstances separating public and domestic spheres in Angami life-worlds continually produce divergent political imaginaries, reversibility reveals how these formations emerge, how they coexist and continuously shape daily life, and how they produce the potentialities for unified political resistance.

This thesis examines the ways in which the Holocaust and the Jewish past have been remembered in Kraków, investigates the impact local memory work has had on Polish collective memory, and problematises the importance of the 1989 threshold for that memory work. Looking at Kraków, an exceptional and exceptionally important case study, between 1980 and 2013, the thesis investigates heritage creations in Kazimierz, the old Jewish Town, and traces the genealogies of Holocaust exhibitions presented in Kraków. It also traces the emergence of urban critical narratives about the past, pertaining both to the city and to Poland as a whole. Created in opposition to the mainstream ethno-nationalist narrative, which was often supported by both the Communist and the democratic governments, the interpretation of the past laid out in Kraków gradually incorporated the Jewish past into the narrative on Polish history. The thesis demonstrates how, over the course of thirty years, Jews came to be presented as rightful members of the Polish national community, and the Holocaust as an integral part of Polish war history, albeit still distinct to other sufferings. At the forefront of the process of excavating and presenting Kraków’s Jewish past were local memory activists. In particular, this thesis highlights the pivotal role played by mid-ranking officials from municipal administration and by fictive kinships in the process of urbanisation of memory. These individuals and groups translated the ideas of critical engagement with the nation’s history, propagated by some sections of the national elite, into a form that could be consumed by a mass audience. In addition, the thesis demonstrates that memory work on a local level persisted almost uninterrupted through the transition to democracy. Activists responsible for the creation of inclusive narratives in the 1980s, and the Krakowian intelligentsia in general, carried those ideas forward through the collapse of Communism – no radical reformulation of representations of the Jewish past or the Holocaust took place in the early 1990s. The local narratives grew progressively more critical and increasingly more cosmopolitan from the 1980s onward, but this process only truly accelerated after 2010. The present thesis argues that this post-2010 intensification was only possible after local activists had embraced new forms of commemoration and new modes of authentication within museum exhibitions. In particular it points toward the espousal of ‘complementary authenticities,’ a mode of authentication of narratives strongly anchored in history that at the same time aimed to incite an emotional response. This incorporation of ‘complementary authenticities’ allowed for the creation of narratives that sensitised audiences to the suffering of Poles regardless of their ethnic background. Thus the thesis relates the developments of memory work in Kraków to broader changes in culture, rather than solely to changes in political life.

Este estudo tem como temas centrais as noções de acontecimento público e de comunicação pública. O problema de pesquisa destina-se à análise da configuração das redes de comunicação que constituem o acontecimento público, formadas a partir do acionamento de temas limítrofes entre interesses públicos e privados. A hipótese que norteia esta investigação é de que a visibilidade e a permanência do acontecimento público Tragédia Kiss são sustentadas por Redes de Comunicação Pública, pois estas potencializam o debate sobre a responsabilidade, o julgamento, a legislação e a assistência do Estado aos sobreviventes e familiares das vítimas da tragédia. Entre visibilidades desejadas e indesejadas, são estabelecidos pactos e disputas nos pontos nodais em que as subjetividades dos interlocutores encontram-se. Neste sentido, o objetivo geral de pesquisa é: analisar a configuração das Redes de Comunicação Pública sobre a Tragédia Kiss. Os objetivos específicos são: a) identificar as principais instituições e atores do acontecimento a partir da sua vinculação/ modo como foram atingidos/responsabilizados; b) identificar os processos de visibilidade constitutivos do acontecimento público Tragédia Kiss; c) identificar a dinâmica dos processos comunicacionais sediados em torno de temas de interesse público relacionados à Tragédia Kiss; d) identificar episódios estruturantes do acontecimento, dos quais derivam os temas acionados pelos atores nos processos comunicacionais em rede; e) definir eixos\categorias estruturais que permitam a análise da configuração do acontecimento público a partir das Redes de Comunicação Pública. A tese está estruturada em três partes: primeiramente, é realizada a descrição do objeto de pesquisa, com a descriminação da Tragédia Kiss, a cronologia do acontecimento, a relação com tragédias similares e os processos judiciais em curso. A segunda parte, com o referencial teórico, é dividida em três capítulos. No primeiro, estão diferentes acepções do público - na oposição dicotômica com o privado -, que visam delinear normativamente o horizonte tensional entre os termos, nos processos comunicacionais estabelecidos entre os atores. No segundo capítulo, estão as noções de esfera pública, esfera de visibilidade e de discussão pública, de opinião pública, de públicos – sociabilidade; de comunicação pública e de Redes de Comunicação Pública. O último capítulo teórico é dedicado à compreensão de acontecimento público; e sobre o impacto da morte coletiva. Na terceira parte, estão as referências metodológicas, formadas por pesquisa histórico-descritiva, com base na genealogia, e a técnica de pesquisa documental, de onde resultou o acervo de dados que serviram à análise; em seguida, a análise do funcionamento das redes do acontecimento público Tragédia Kiss, a partir das categorias visibilidade e permanência. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a confirmação da hipótese, pois mostram a manutenção do debate por intermédio da atividade das redes, em mídias tradicionais e alternativas. / This study has as central themes the public event notions and the public communication. The research problem is intended to analyze the communication networks configuration that make up the public event, formed from the actuation borderline issues between public and private interests. The hypothesis that guides this research is that the visibility and permanence of Kiss Nightclub Tragedy public event are supported by Networks of Public Communication, as they potentiate the debate on responsibility, judgment, legislation and State assistance to survivors and families of the victims from the tragedy. Between desired and unwanted visibilities, pacts and disputes are laid down in the nodal points where the subjectivities of the interlocutors are inserted. In this sense, the overall research objective is: to analyze the Public Communication Networks configuration on the Kiss Nightclub Tragedy. The specific objectives are: a) identify the main institutions and actors of the event from their own connection/ how they have been affected / accountable; b) identify the constituent visibility process of the public event Kiss Nightclub Tragedy; c) identify the dynamics of communication processes based around issues of public interest related to Kiss Nightclub Tragedy; d) identify structuring episodes of the event, of which derive from the issues triggered by the actors in network communication processes; e) define axes\ structural categories that allow the analysis of the public event configuration from the Public Communication Networks. The thesis is structured in three parts: first, the description of the research object is carried out with discrimination of the Kiss Nightclub Tragedy, the event chronology, the relationship with similar tragedies and legal proceedings in course. The second part, with the theoretical framework, is divided into three chapters. In the first, there are different meanings of public - in dichotomous opposition with the private -, aimed at delineating normatively the horizon tension between the terms, in the communication processes established between the actors. In the second chapter, there are the public sphere notions, visibility sphere and public discussion, public opinion, public - sociability; public communication and public communication networks. The last theoretical chapter is devoted to understanding the public event; and the impact of collective death. In the third part, there are the methodological references, formed by historical and descriptive research, based on genealogy, and documentary research technique, which resulted in the data collection that served the analysis; then the analysis of the functioning of the Kiss Nightclub Tragedy public event networks, from the visibility and permanence categories. The results point to the confirmation of the hypothesis, because they show the maintenance of the debate through the networks' activity, in traditional and alternative media.

The aim of this research project is the study, theoretical development and reconstruction of the physical, religious and cultural landscape of the southern area and the first part of the northern area of Dra Abu el-Naga as well as its evolution from the 18th to the 20th Dynasties (1550-1069 BC). In order to do so, the methodological approach derives from theories relating to Landscape Archaeology, which efficiently manages to compile and to link prosopographical-genealogical, archaeological and Geographical Information System (GIS) data, meaning that the area of Dra Abu el-Naga can be studied as a "ritual landscape". The advantages of this type of research include the creation of a holistic conception of the Theban necropolis, especially of Dra Abu el-Naga, by reconciling textual and archaeological perspectives. The ancient landscape of the study area and its surroundings have been remodelled and the palaeorelief reconstructed by establishing a connection between the geological-geomorphological and topographical data with GIS visibility analyses, all of which were surveyed according to the historical, cultural and religious context. GIS is an essential tool for the study of the sacred space and can be used to offer a detailed cartography. For the first time, the tombs have been recorded by precise geographic coordinates, which are offered in this research. The research model created in this work has shown the chronological development of the study area, the clear visual relationship between the tombs of a specific reign and the key monuments contemporary to them. Kinship, political marriages and attempts to acquire a higher rank, as well as the professional and family links between many of the owners of these tombs, demonstrate that they also wanted to be connected in the afterlife. The work undertaken at Dra Abu el-Naga opens up new lines of investigation into the wider landscape of the necropolis. Therefore, this model could be productively applied to future studies of other ancient Egyptian tombs, necropolises and funerary landscapes. The resulting wider insight into the Theban necropolis, including the position played by the Dra Abu el-Naga cemetery within the Theban funerary context, is essential since the aim of this research project is to approach to the actual funerary landscape of Thebes as an inseparable complex of diverse components.

Nossa pesquisa é um estudo sobre o pensamento pedagógico do filósofo alemão Friedrich Nietzsche que visa analisar a aproximação entre educação e corpo em sua filosofia na elaboração de uma educação da criação de si. Para realização deste trabalho, foi realizada uma pesquisa teórica analisando a literatura nietzschiana publicada em sua vida e as contribuições de alguns pesquisadores e estudiosos das suas obras. Esta dissertação está dividida em duas partes. Na primeira, apresentamos e discutimos as críticas lançadas por Nietzsche nos escritos Schopenhauer como Educador e as Conferências sobre os estabelecimentos de ensino e o Nascimento da Tragédia ao que se refere à concepção de educação e cultura ministradas nas instituições de ensino da Alemanha do século XIX. A exemplaridade dos gregos, para Nietzsche, surge não apenas como modelo estético, mas no seu modo de viver diante dos sofrimentos e das dores que não os fizeram pessimistas. Na segunda parte, apontamos os caminhos pelos quais Nietzsche supera as críticas iniciais, a partir de suas obras Aurora, Gaia Ciência, Genealogia da Moral e Assim Falou Zaratustra propondo a afirmação da existência, a crítica à noção de conhecimento e aos valores morais. Busca-se uma educação da experimentação como justificativa ao aparecimento de novas formas de compreender a cultura, bem como os estabelecimentos de novas balizas conceituais, o que será responsável pela criação de uma nova imagem do homem, do conhecimento e do processo formativo. Neste sentido Nietzsche se empenha em reabilitar o corpo como campo de experimentação e crítica aos valores e interpretações que imperam como verdades. Ao final discutimos a concepção de educação nietzschiana caracterizada como caminho singular e individual, um projeto que se dá pelo cultivo de si, o caminho do criador de valores que a partir do corpo como fio condutor elabora sua singularidade de modo afirmativo. / ABSTRACT This research work is part of the Post-Graduate Education (PPGE), Faculty of Education, Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), the thematic line Education, Body Culture and Leisure. Our research is a study of the pedagogical thought of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that analyzes the rapprochement between education and body in his philosophy in the development of an education setting himself. This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first one, we present and discuss the critical launched by Nietzsche in the writings Schopenhauer as Educator, conferences on educational institutions and The Birth of Tragedy which refers to the conception of education and culture taught in educational institutions of Germany of the nineteenth century. Thus the exemplary of the Greeks for Nietzsche, comes not only as an esthetic model, but in their way of living against the suffering and pains that didn’t make them pessimistic. In the second part, we aim paths in which Nietzsche exceeds the initial criticism, from his works The Dawn, Gay Science, On the Genealogy Morality and Thus Spoke Zarathustra proposing the statement of existence, the criticism to the notion of knowledge and moral values. We search for an education of experimentation as a justification to the emergence of new forms of understanding culture and establishments of new conceptual beacons, what will be responsible for the creation of a new image of man, knowledge and formative process. In this sense, Nietzsche strives to rehabilitate the body as an experimentation field and critical values and interpretation that prevail as truths. At the end we discuss the design of Nietzsche’s education characterized as unique and individual way, a project that takes place by the cultivation of the self, the way of the creator of values that from the body as a guide, elaborates its uniqueness in an affirmative way
