Ever since the publication of the novel Sartoria, members of a strange new breed of people by the name of Snopes have appeared in every Faulkner novel and short story which constitutes a part of what is called the Yoknapatawpha chronicle. Heretofore, it has been popular to support the thesis that the Snopeses represented the embodiment of crass commercialism, the inevitable replacement for the dying cotton aristocracy, and the direct retribution for the sins that had caused the downfall of these degenerate Southern gentry. This thesis will attempt to show, not that such a contention is wholly wrong, but that the real meaning of Snopesism lies much deeper than this, far beyond such a simple interpretation.

The problem of this study is to investigate how news policy in the Denton Record-Chronicle is defined and maintained and whether the newspaper staffers tend to conform to or conflict with the newspaper's news policy. The study suggests that the more experienced the staffer, the more likely he will conflict with the newspaper's news policy, and the less experienced the staffer, the more likely he will conform to the newspaper's news policy. Social control is in the hand of the newspaper organization. That is, the newspaper tends to control the mechanisms of social control. However, unless the newspaper recognizes the needs of the staffers' participation in its editorial decision, conflict may continue to be an important factor in the newsroom work-setting.

The purposes of this study were to determine the characteristics of the subscribers to the local community newspaper, to determine what the subscribers read most and what they read the least in the local publication, and to determine the role of the small newspaper within the metropolitan area.

This thesis features a full transcript of NLS Advocates MS. 35.4.4, The "Chronicle of Perth". The manuscript volume was edited and published by James Maidment in 1831 for the Maitland Club of Glasgow; however, Maidment's edition represents only a partial transcription of the original volume, and the editor provided few textual notes. I have written a substantial commentary to accompany the text; my work on the "Chronicle" is intended to improve upon and replace Maidment's edition. The manuscript volume was probably compiled between c. 1590 and c. 1668, and incorporates a variety of subject matter: copies of official correspondence, a register of deaths and, chiefly, a register of historical events of local and national significance in the 16th and 17th centuries. Editorial work in this thesis includes detailed analysis of the structure and provenance of the manuscript, a study of the veracity of the historical notices, and an assessment of its place in the local literary context. The "Chronicle" is an anonymous work; but suggestions concerning the identity of its authors have been made following handwriting analysis and a comparative study of the manuscript with other documents in the Perth Burgh Records. The "Chronicle" can be dated through internal evidence, and also by study of the manuscript paper. Numerous archaeological excavations have been carried out in Perth during recent years. The results of this work have substantially augmented the historical record of life in the medieval and early modern burgh, and archaeological evidence is certainly of considerable importance to historians of Perth. This thesis seeks to assess the value of historical records for archaeologists working in the burgh. This is essentially a theoretical exercise, but it should also have practical consequences for archaeological research in Perth. It is the contention of my approach that historical sources can be used in advance of archaeological investigation to pose archaeological questions, to provide guidelines for research, and indeed to provide archaeological information. In this thesis I have sought to demonstrate that the "Chronicle of Perth" contains useful archaeological material in its own right, and that the manuscript indicates areas in which archaeological study may develop our understanding of the 17th century environment, in both town and country. The archaeological themes which emerge from the text of the "Chronicle" are developed by reference to manuscripts in the Perth Burgh Records and existing archaeological information. This thesis examines the climatic history of the Perth region in the early modem period - with particular reference to damage caused by floods, harvest failures, and the spread of infectious diseases - and the built environment of the burgh. Attention is paid to major public buildings of the town, such as the tolbooth and St. John's Kirk, and to significant structures beyond the town walls such as Lowswork and the Brig of Earn. A pervasive theme of this research is an assessment of the burgh's complicated relationship with its rural hinterland. Features of this study include the structure of the market economy in 17th century Perthshire, and the influence of large estates within the landscape. The economy of the burgh of Perth was relatively weak in the 17th century, and the "Chronicle" directs particular attention to the disruption which was caused by the Covenanting crisis of the 1640s and Cromwellian occupation of the 1650s; this thesis considers the effects of those years upon Perth's economy. The thesis is intended to form a substantial reference source for historians and archaeologists working in Perth. At both theoretical and practical levels, this study considers the value of documentary sources for archaeological research. The "Chronicle of Perth" can be used as an introduction to the quality of life which was experienced within and without Perth in the early modern period; archaeological themes which can be extracted from the text of the "Chronicle" can be developed using the Perth Burgh Records to build up a portrait of the state of the built environment in town and country. An important consequence of this research has been to demonstrate the close association which exists between historical and archaeological information.

Orientador: Rosane Gazolla Alves Feitosa / Banca: Álvaro Santos Simões Junior / Banca: Dilson Ferreira da Cruz Júnior / Resumo: No fim do século XIX e início do século XX, o Rio de Janeiro passou por profundas transformações políticas, econômicas, sociais e culturais. Neste contexto, a colônia portuguesa desempenhou um importante papel, estando sempre presente de forma ativa nas principais decisões da cidade, por meio de suas instituições culturais e de benemerência, suas atividades sociais, artísticas, políticas e, em especial, jornalísticas. Faz-se necessário destacar, nesse período da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a Gazeta de Notícias, fundada em 1875, por Ferreira Araújo, Manuel Carneiro, Elísio Mendes e pelos redatores portugueses, Henrique Chaves e Lino de Assumpção. A folha dava principal atenção às atividades literárias e, entre elas, a crônica que com uma linguagem leve e subjetiva, ganhou divulgação e se difundiu no Brasil com a modernização da imprensa, em meados do século XIX, popularizando-se entre os jornais cariocas. D. João da Câmara, dramaturgo e jornalista português, colaborou na A Gazeta de Notícias durante cinco anos, de 1901 a 1905, enviou de Lisboa crônicas sobre a sociedade e a cultura portuguesas, atingindo aproximadamente duzentas crônicas. Estes textos são uma rica fonte de estudos portugueses e da relação Portugal-Brasil no início do século XX. Em vista disso, esta dissertação tem por objetivo coletar, recuperar, comentar e divulgar esse material, praticamente desconhecido. Após a leitura e transcrição dos textos, abordamos o diálogo entre cronista e leitor; e o modo como o autor expressava...

In these circumstances, the Portuguese community played important role. It was extremely active in practically every field of city through its cultural and eminent institutions, its social, artistic, political activities, especially in the journalistic area. During this period of Rio de Janeiro city, it is necessary to point out Gazeta de Notícias which was founded by Ferreira Araújo, Manuel Carneiro, Elísio Mendes and by the Portuguese editors, Henrique Chaves and Lino de Assumpção in 1875. The newspaper put emphasis on literary activities among them, the chronicle with its subjective and soft language. The modernization of the press of Brazil in the middle of nineteenth century collaborated to promote the popularization of chronicle between the newspapers from Rio de Janeiro. From 1901 to 1905, D. João da Câmara, Portuguese journalist and playwright, collaborated on Gazeta de Notícias with his chronicles about the society and culture in Portugal. He wrote approximately two hundred chronicles, which were sent from Lisboa. These texts are an extraordinary information source for Portuguese studies and for the relation Portugal-Brazil in the beginning of twentieth century. Therefore, this master dissertation aims to collect, restore, comment and make public this material, practically unknown. After reading and transcription the texts, we approach the dialogue between writer and reader, and the way how the feelings' writer... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar considerações e os resultados obtidos a partir da pesquisa de mestrado: A Trajetória editorial da obra de Gabriel Soares de Sousa. Pretende-se levantar aspectos filológicos cuja análise resultará nos fundamentos basilares para a confecção de uma edição crítica digital futura a ser elaborada após a obtenção do título de Mestrado, ou seja, essa edição se destina a ser desenvolvida posteriormente no Doutorado. Partindo da transcrição da primeira parte do manuscrito Roteiro Geral ... os aspectos observados na transcrição irão pautar toda a análise feita. A resultante direta desta etapa será a categorização dos aspectos linguísticos, e filológicos, e outros ainda necessários ao estruturamento da pesquisa; bem como uma classificação dos fenômenos encontrados no texto, cujo objetivo maior e mais amplo é delinear os problemas relativos à confecção da edição crítica digital futura. / The starting point for this study was the observation of a rare and unusual editorial path of the publishing history of Gabriel Soares de Sousas work, composed in the sixteenth century and printed only 250 years later. G. S. Sousa wrote two essays on the territory which he occupied as a settler in the Northeast region in Brazil: Roteiro Geral com Largas Informações de toda a Costa do Brasil and Memorial e Declaração das Grandezas da Bahia de Todos os Santos, de sua fertilidade, e das notáveis partes que tem. These manuscripts were presented in 1587 as a treatise entitled Notícia do Brasil. However, only in 1851 the text was printed in an edition commented and analyzed by F. A. Varnhagen, with the title Tratado Descriptivo do Brasil de 1587. This research analises some hypotheses in order to explore some differences found in the texts as well as to point out some passages which are worthy of further analysis.

O presente mestrado é constituído por um estudo introdutório e uma antologia de 12 crônicas de Raul Pompeia (1863-1895), publicadas na primeira página do jornal O Estado de São Paulo, no período de 1891 a 1892. O objetivo do estudo introdutório é o de analisar as crônicas selecionadas a partir de dois temas, o da panfletagem contra a imigração e o da morte. Para o primeiro tema foram escolhidas nove crônicas, as quais por meio de um discurso eloquente, procuraram convencer o leitor de que a imigração era um inimigo a ser combatido, posicionando-se contra a tendência da época. Esses textos foram elaborados para o jovem leitor paulista, já que Pompeia acreditava no seu poder de mobilização e no espírito de combate. Em relação ao segundo tema, foram contempladas três crônicas relacionadas a notícias de crimes e de acidentes, cujos aspectos oscilam entre o realismo e o impressionismo, mostrando que o gênero crônica permite certo hibridismo. / This master consists of an introductory study and an anthology of 12 Raul Pompeias chronicles (1863-1895), published on the front page of the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo, in the period from 1891 to 1892. The purpose of the introductory study is to analyze the chronicles selected from the two themes, the leafleting against immigration and the death. For the first theme, nine chronicles were chosen, which by means of an eloquent speech, tried to convince the reader that immigration was an enemy to be fought, positioning itself against the trend of the time. These texts were written for the young readers from São Paulo, since Pompeia believed in their power to mobilize and fighting spirit. On the second theme, three chronicles, related to news of crimes and accidents, whose aspects oscillate between realism and impressionism, have been contemplated, showing that the chronicle genre allows certain hybridity.
