O objetivo principal deste projeto é refletir sobre duas revistas literárias de caráter romântico: Ilustração Goana (1864-1866) e Minerva Brasiliense (1843-1845), abordando as diferentes concepções da relação entre literatura, sociedade e autonomia intelectual que cada uma apresenta. Vale notar que, em certa medida, os processos históricos de Goa e do Brasil se aproximam por terem origem na colonização portuguesa, sendo que ambos revelam uma vida literária bastante profícua em meados do século XIX, guardadas as devidas proporções. / The purpose of this project is to ponder on two literary romantic magazines: Ilustração Goana (1864-1866) and Minerva Brasiliense (1843-1845), bringing to light the different conceptions of the relationship between literature and society; and the intellectual autonomy represented by each of them. Its Worthy of attention, to a certain extent, Goan and Brazilian Historical processes have similarities due to their Portuguese colonization origin, both revealing, to a certain point, prolific literary activity in the mid XIX century.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 27 / Milton Valente / A colonização alemã na Serra dos Tapes, iniciada em 1858, a partir da sociedade entre Jacob Rheingantz e José Antônio de Oliveira Guimarães, não ocorreu de forma pacífica, patriarcal e paradisíaca. Esta premissa opõe-se ao posicionamento laudatório e pouco crítico da história oficial de São Lourenço do Sul sobre a colonização na região, especialmente no que tange à representação sobre Jacob Rheingantz. Através da recuperação de memórias não-oficiais e de documentos esquecidos, a dissertação traz à tona fatos que foram apagados da história, para que um herói fosse criado. A importância do homem, respaldado por escritores e pelo poder estabelecido local, através de diversas homenagens, transformaram Rheingantz em um modelo formador de condutas. Percebe-se no esquecimento proposital e no enaltecimento incondicional, uma intenção de manipulação do presente e de manutenção do status quo. A população, bombardeada por uma série de informações que atestam a grandiosidade do mito - seja nas escolas, nos livros ou nas / The German colonization in the Mountain Chain of Tapes, which began in 1858, from the society between Jacob Rheingantz and José Antônio de Oliveira Guimarães, did not occur in a pacific, patriarchal and ideal way. This premise goes against the little critic report of the official History of São Lourenço do Sul on the colonization of the region, especially regarding the representation about Jacob Rheingantz. Through the recovery of non-official memories as well as documents that have been forgotten, this dissertation brings to light facts erased from History, in order for a hero to be created. The importance of the citizen, supported by writers and the established local power through a lot of homage have made Rheingantz into a behavior-maker model. It is possible to observe, both through the on purpose forgetfulness and unconditional honoring, an intention of manipulation of the present and maintenance of the status quo. The population, influenced by a lot of information which testify the importance of the myt

Theorists of constitutional patriotism argue that the binding sentiment of shared national identity can be replaced with allegiance to universal principles, interpreted into particular constitutions through ongoing deliberative processes. In this thesis, I explore the implications of such an approach for the defensibility of restrictions on migration, a subject which has previously received very little attention. I argue that constitutional patriotism implies a commitment to the free movement of individuals across borders; but that freedom of movement itself creates challenges for the implementation of constitutional patriotism. This is because it may increase anti-immigrant, nationalist sentiment in the host community. I term this phenomenon the ‘post-national paradox’. I then draw on independently collected qualitative data on Eastern European migration to English rural communities to explore this post-national paradox. I analyse the argumentative strategies, as the well as the perceptions of difference, evident in justifications of anti-immigrant and nationalist sentiment in these contexts. I highlight both perceptions of cultural and economic threat, as well as a ‘banal’ sense of national loyalty, underpinning such attitudes; and suggest that discursive practice at the most local level is necessary for the bottom up construction, or growth, of an inclusive form of identity and belonging.

The housing wealth experiences of ethnic minority home owners is relatively unexplored within the UK literature. This thesis makes a contribution to this field by exploring the experiences of African Caribbean post war families. There are a number of original points of departure to this literature that this study makes. Links are made with Caribbean migration and social anthropology literatures in developing fresh perspectives on the study of housing wealth among this group. The study avoids treating housing wealth in isolation from other networks within African Caribbean communities. Instead it develops a single asset network that positions housing wealth within a broader resource framework used to interpret home ownership careers and return migration planning. The study incorporates literature drawn from cultural consumption theory in exploring values and meanings attached to inheritances in the UK and Caribbean. An original methodological contribution is made in the use of life history methods in exploring consumption and transmission of housing wealth across two generations of the same family. The 13 families included in the study are drawn from Birmingham and London. The findings suggest that there is a complex interaction of networks used throughout home ownership careers. Informal financial networks in the form of intergenerational exchanges are used in supporting younger family members at the start of home ownership careers. There is evidence that inheritance of 'family land' in the Caribbean provided a focus for the investment of UK housing wealth to facilitate return migration. Other forms of housing wealth leakage took place, with evidence of investments in second homes in the Caribbean, kinship networks and entrepreneurial activity. This investment of UK housing assets in second homes across the Caribbean region suggests the creation of 'transnational housing markets'.

My research bridges the gap between Anglophone postcolonial studies and Francophone literary studies by looking at Francophone literature from West and Equatorial Africa, which remains under-studied in France. This work answers key questions: how can this literature be interpreted beyond its current confines? How does it rethink local and global identities? What theoretical configurations can be applied to these writers to bring them into greater academic and public prominence? I propose a comprehensive analysis of this literature’s significance in the world through a comparative reading of five contemporary regional novels in their political, social and historical context. This multidirectional reading allows me to evoke what Dominic Thomas calls an ‘intercultural dynamics’ in which colonialism ‘finds itself relocated as a mechanism that proceeds from globalization’, and integrates various spatial zones in which thinking is produced. It brings forward key writers situated ‘outside of the parameters of Frenchness’ inscribed in cosmopolitan decolonizing and cultural reconstruction trends, such as Léonora Miano, a young Cameroonian author and winner of six French literary prizes; Fatou Diome, a Senegalese best-selling writer; Sénouvo Agbota Zinsou from Togo, 63 and in political exile; one contemporary writer, Kangni Alem (Togo), and one more established intellectual, Boubacar Boris Diop (Senegal).

This thesis examines the twenty-first-century intercultural performance of Shakespeare in Kerala, India. The thesis highlights Shakespeare’s function in invigorating local performing arts traditions that navigate tensions between paradigms of former feudalism, post-Independence democracy and capitalist globalisation. Throughout, individual artistic perspectives in interview illustrate local productions of \(Macbeth\) for indigenous Keralan performing art forms, ranging from the two-thousand-year old kutiyattam to contemporary postmodern Malayalam-language drama. My introduction contextualises these hybrid productions in their global, national, and local historiography, exploring intersections of the sacred, supernatural, and secular; postmodernism and rasa theory; intercultural Shakespeares and Keralan performing arts; and Shakespearean works with Indian literary and theatrical traditions from the colonial to the postmillennial era. Chapter One highlights cultural translation, focusing on kutiyattam artist Margi Madhu’s 2011 \(Macbeth\); Chapter Two discusses cultural collaboration, studying kathakali artist Ettumanoor P. Kannan’s \(Macbeth\) \(Cholliyattam\), 2013; Chapter Three considers cultural fusion, profiling Abhinaya Theatre’s experimental local-language production of \(Macbeth\), 2011. In closing, the thesis underscores the importance of giving a voice to Keralan theatre artists on Shakespeare, recognising the hitherto critically unexamined potential for the meeting point of two great dramatic cultural traditions as a forum, underpinned by residual colonial and Communist legacies, for intercultural discourse.

Promovidas pelo governo estadual, foram impulsionadas pela aproximação das datas comemorativas do Sesquicentenário da Imigração Alemã e do Centenário da Imigração Italiana. O objetivo inicial destas comemorações era homenagear os grupos imigrantes que contribuíram para a formação étnica do estado. Mas, ao longo do processo comemorativo, as homenagens foram estendidas aos grupos negros e indígenas, convertendo o discurso comemorativo. Sendo assim, o principal objetivo desta pesquisa é explicitar como o governo do Rio Grande do Sul fez uso do passado imigrante do estado ao longo das comemorações do Biênio da Colonização e Imigração. Para tanto, a análise do processo comemorativo foi construída em três momentos: 1) A organização das comemorações. Analisamos o Decreto de instituição dos festejos, responsável por deliberar as ações a serem tomadas ao longo do processo comemorativo, e também a cerimônia solene de instalação das comemorações mediante a presença de autoridades no Palácio do Governo do Estado. Investigamos também a formação das Comissões de Homenagem, compostas por sujeitos autorizados pelo governo, e que ficaram responsáveis pela criação dos Programas Comemorativos de seus respectivos grupos de origem. E, sentimos a necessidade de mapear as cidades participantes dos festejos e quantificar/qualificar os atos celebrativos promovidos, mediante o desmembramento da Programação Oficial. 2) As comemorações ao Pioneirismo Luso-Brasileiro, ao Sesquicentenário Alemão e ao Centenário Italiano. Através da análise da réplica da chegada dos imigrantes alemães e italianos tendo como espectador o Presidente Ernesto Geisel, da promoção de eventos e da criação de instituições de fomento aos estudos do passado imigrante do estado e da construção de monumentos, confirmamos a ênfase dada às comemorações destes três grupos. 3) Por fim, os atos celebrativos promovidos em homenagem aos demais grupos de imigrantes, negros e índios. Analisamos o processo de ampliação de grupos a serem homenageados, e a consequente mudança no discurso oficial destas comemorações. / This dissertation has as its main subject of investigation the official commemorations of the Biennium of the Colonization and Immigration that took place in Rio Grande do Sul in 1974 and 1975. Promoted by the State government, these commemorations were motivated by the upcoming 150th anniversary of the German Immigration and the 100th anniversary of the Italian Immigration. The initial goal of these celebrations was to honor the different immigrant groups who contributed to the ethnic composition of the State. However, during the commemorative process, the tributes were extended to include homage to native and Afro-descendent Brazilians, thus, changing the initial official discourse. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to make explicit how the government of Rio Grande do Sul used the immigrant past of the State during the commemorations of the Biennium of the Colonization and Immigration. To this end, the analysis of the commemorative process is constructed in three periods: 1) The organization of the celebrations. We analyzed the decree instituting the festivities, which determined actions to be taken during the commemorative process and the official ceremony opening the celebrations in the presence of the State government authorities. We also investigated the formation of the Tribute Commissions, composed by individuals authorized by the government, who were also responsible for the creation of the Commemorative Programs of their respective ethnic groups. Also, we mapped the municipalities participating in the festivities, and quantified and qualified the celebratory acts promoted in face of the dismembering of the Official Program. 2) The commemorations honoring the Luso-Brazilian pioneering, the 150th anniversary of German immigration, and the 100th anniversary of Italian immigration. By analyzing the reenactment of the arrival of German and Italian immigrants having as spectator President Ernesto Geisel, the promotion of events and creation of institutions incentivizing the studies of the immigrant history in the State, and the building of monuments, we confirmed the emphasis given to the celebration of these three groups. 3) The celebratory acts promoted in honor of native and Afro-descendent Brazilians. We analyzed the process extending the tributes to these ethnic groups, and its resulting change in the official discourse of these commemorations.

Les céréales domestiques, blé et orge, sont apparues sur plusieurs sites éloignés du Proche-Orient à partir de précurseurs sauvages originaire d'Anatolie. Cette thèse propose que la domestication de ces céréales est le résultat de quatre étapes successives et indépendantes: 1) au Natoufien ancien, une sédentarisation a augmenté la fertilité en rapprochant les naissances. Ceci a créé un nouveau besoin en aliments de sevrage qui a rendu les céréales indispensables comme ressource alimentaire. La croissance démographique a fait évoluer la structure sociale des communautés des groupes familiaux à des groupes locaux; 2) au Natoufien récent, la crise environnementale du Dryas récent a obligé certaines communautés à combler leurs besoins en céréales avec les premières mises en culture. Ces communautés ont réussi à maintenir leur vie sédentaire, leur population et leurs capacités technologiques en rigidifiant leur structure sociale en chefferies; 3) au PPNA, une expansion coloniale des communautés qui ont survécu au Dryas récent a transplanté les céréales sauvages dans l'ensemble du Proche-Orient en les adaptant à des sols et des climats nouveaux; 4) au PPNB, la recherche d'une plus grande productivité et un heureux hasard ont fait apparaître les céréales domestiques sur quelques sites. La domestication des céréales au Proche-Orient est donc le résultat d'un processus évolutif qui a modifié à la fois le contexte socio-culturel des communautés humaines et leur relation aux céréales. / Domestic cereals, wheat and barley, appeared at several distant sites in the Near East from wild progenitors from Anatolia. This thesis suggests that domestication of these cereals was the result of four successive and independant steps: 1) during early Natufian, sedentarisation raised fertility by decreasing the time inteval between consecutive births. This created a new need for weaning foods, so that cereals became a necessary part of subsistance. The increase in population led the social structure of communities to evolve from family groups into local groups; 2) during late Natufian, the Younger Dryas environmental crisis forced some communities to meet their needs for cereals by initiating their first cultivations. These communities could remain sedentary and maintain both their population and their technological potential by rigidifying their social structures into chiefdoms; 3) during PPNA, a colonial expansion of communities that survived the Younger Dryas transplanted wild cereals throughout the Near East and adapted them to new soils ans climates; 4) during PPNB, the search for an increased productivity and some chance led to the appearance of domestic cereals at some sites. Cereal domestication in the Near East thus appears as resulting from an evolutionary process which modified both the socio-cultural context of human communities and their relationship to cereals.

Violence against Indigenous women is a major public health concern worldwide and Canada is no exception. Multiple forms of violence inform the broader context of violence against Indigenous women. Nurses are likely to encounter Indigenous women in a variety of settings, but evidence suggests that nurses may lack understandings of violence. This thesis explored the following question: How does extant qualitative research conducted in Canada, contribute to understanding the health and wellbeing of First Nations, Métis and Inuit (Indigenous) women who have experienced violence? During the development of this thesis, significant gaps were highlighted including underrepresentation of Inuit women in the literature, limited focus on health promotion, and lack of methodological approaches to systematic reviews that were participatory and inclusive of the community. Therefore, a secondary aim of this thesis was to privilege perspectives of Inuit women and their communities, by developing a study protocol for a collaborative and community centered approach to reviewing and assessing the extant literature. A configurative and inductive approach based on thematic synthesis was used to systematically search, retrieve, analyze and synthesize extant literature. Post-colonial feminist theory and intersectionality were used as theoretical lenses to emphasize intersections between multiple forms of violence and locate the problem within the broader context of colonization and oppression. Sixteen studies were included in this review, fifteen qualitative and one mixed methods study. Four themes with subthemes emerged based on analysis and synthesis of findings in the included studies: 1) ruptured connections between family and home, 2) that emptiness… my spirit being removed, 3) seeking help and feeling unheard, and 4) a core no one can touch. These themes represent interconnected pathways that influenced health among Indigenous women, and have implications for healthy public policy, clinical practice, and nursing education.

In all studies a mutant resistant to 100 ppm of rifampicin (Aac1Rif) was utilized. Bacterial colonization was detected until 30 days after inoculation in the 10th pair of true leaves, with populations of 3.1 log UFC g-1 of leaf. In the same period, the shoot segment between the 10th and 11th leaf pair showed population of 3.52 log UFC g-1 of shoot. After seed inoculation the pathogen colonized the hypocotyl, roots, cotyledonary leaves, true leaves and shoots, until reach undetectable levels at 27 days after inoculation. Flower colonization by the bacteria was not verified. Aac1Rif was found in fruit and leaf residues at 0, 5 and 10 cm during 21 days and at 15 cm during 14 days. Highest population relative extinction rates (TERP)were presented by fruits on soil surface [0.1464 log (UFC) day -1] and on leaves at 10cm [0.084 log (UFC) day -1]. Aac1Rif survived on seven soil types only during three days and the soil C showed the highest TERP [0.9062 log (UFC) day-1]. Higher concentrations of Na+ and silt as well as higher populations of actinomycetes and Trichoderma correlated to faster extinction of Aac1Rif populations in soil. Generally for all soils the lowers TERP were found at 10 or 15ºC and the higher, at 30 or 35ºC. There was no significant (P=0.05) interaction between soil and humidity, however the T test showed significant difference (P=0.05) between the TERP at 100% [0.6685 log (UFC) day -1] and 50% [0.504591 log (UFC) day -1] of field capacity. Independent of temperature and humidity, Aac1Rif also survived in soil only during three days. / Esta dissertação teve como objetivos estudar: colonização de A. avenae subsp. citrulli em meloeiro a partir da inoculação no primeiro par de folhas verdadeiras, sementes e flores hermafroditas; sobrevivência da bactéria em restos de folhas e frutos incorporados ao solo a diferentes profundidades (0, 5, 10 e 15 cm) e em solos na ausência da planta hospedeira, sob a influência de diferentes tipos de solo (sete solos), temperaturas (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 e 35ºC) e umidades (50 e 100% da capacidade de campo). Para os estudos foi utilizado um mutante resistente a 100 ppm de rifampicina (Aac1Rif). Quando a bactéria foi inoculada nas folhas, a colonização foi detectada até os 30 dias, no 10º par de folhas verdadeiras, com população de 3,1 log UFC g-1 de folha. Nesse mesmo período, observou-se a colonização no segmento de ramo compreendido entre o 10º e 11º par de folhas com população de 3,52 log UFC g-1 de ramo. A partir de sementes, a bactéria colonizou o hipocótilo, raízes, folhas cotiledonares, folhas verdadeiras e ramos, até atingir níveis não detectáveis aos 27 dias após a inoculação. Não foi verificada colonização das flores pela bactéria. Aac1Rif foi encontrada em restosde frutos e folhas de meloeiro a 0, 5 e 10 cm durante 21 dias e a 15 cm por 14 dias. As maiores taxas de extinção relativa da população (TERP) ocorreram nos frutos na superfície do solo [0,1464 log (UFC) dia-1] e nas folhas a 10 cm [0,084 log (UFC) dia-1]. Aac1Rif sobreviveu nos sete tipos de solo apenas durante três dias e o solo C apresentou a maior TERP [0,9062 log (UFC) dia-1]. Maiores concentrações de Na+ e silte bem como maiores populações de actinomicetos e Trichoderma estiveram correlacionadas a mais rápida extinção da população de Aac1Rif no solo. Para a maioria dos solos, as menores TERP foram atingidas a 10 ou 15ºC e as maiores, a 30 ou 35ºC. Não houve interação significativa (P=0,05) entre solos e umidade, contudo o teste de T evidenciou diferença significativa (P=0,1) entre as TERP a 100% [0,6685 log (UFC) dia-1] e 50% [0,504591 log (UFC) dia-1] da capacidade de campo. Independente da temperatura e umidade, Aac1Rif também sobreviveu nos solos apenas por três dias.
