This thesis argues for a common character of royal self-presentation in the early Hellenistic world, defined in this thesis as the period between the death of Alexander in 323 BC and the accession of Antigonos Gonatas in 276. In contrast to current models of interpretation which analyse it on a predominantly regional or biographical basis, this thesis supports the validity of approaching Hellenistic kingship as a broader phenomenon. Royal self-presentation is defined here as imagery developed by the kings, ideology articulated by them, and symbolic deeds enacted by them. This thesis engages a distinction between local and international perspectives and a wide interdisciplinary view of the surviving evidence in order to demonstrate the common character of early Hellenistic royal self-presentation. This common character is in turn unified by a dominant Greco-Macedonian emphasis: accordingly, it is termed ‘the image of the basileus’ in this thesis. This ‘image of the basileus’ is a composite construction based on six themes of royal self-presentation, each of which is analysed and discussed in a separate chapter; their total character is adduced fully in the final conclusion to this thesis. Chapter 1 covers heroic themes in royal self-presentation, which scholars have generally overlooked in reference to the early Hellenistic kings despite their commonality and significance. Chapter 2 covers the diadem, which became the symbol of Hellenistic kingship par excellence and as such is of pivotal importance to this study. Chapter 3 covers the concept of spear-won land and the foundation of eponymous cities, which can be understood together as part of an image of territorial domination. Chapter 4 covers representations of divine favour and divine will, a crucial basis of support for the early Hellenistic kings. Chapter 5 covers joint kingship and father-son rule, an innovation in the structuring of royal power and thus a vital focus for this thesis. Chapter 6, the final chapter of this thesis, covers common imagery in the funerals of the kings, which is important as a summation of their self-presentation.

De la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle au règne personnel de Louis XIV, les duels clandestins se multiplient en France. Par le biais de cet exercice, la noblesse cherche à affirmer son identité de classe en réaction aux changements politiques et structuraux qui affectent la société d'Ancien Régime. Or cette prolifération de combats donne lieu à une vaste production d'ouvrages se consacrant au phénomène. D'une part, les auteurs attachés aux valeurs aristocratiques tentent de persuader l'autorité royale de rétablir un duel autorisé à la manière médiévale, qui, en offrant un lieu d'expression officiel à l'honneur nobiliaire, permettrait selon eux de faire cesser les affrontements. D'autre part, un groupe d'auteurs appartenant aux corps constitués oeuvrant à la défense des structures de l'État - magistrats et hommes d'Église -, proposent plutôt d'infliger de graves peines aux combattants. Dans cette thèse, nous montrons, par l'examen des procédés stylistiques, des emprunts intertextuels et du système de références mis en oeuvre dans ces textes, que la réflexion sur le duel s'articule autour d'un imaginaire héroïque, mobilisé par les auteurs de chaque position selon leurs intérêts. À travers un ensemble de figures récurrentes empruntées à la littérature de fiction ou l'histoire fictionnalisée - figures qui cristallisent une série de notions-clés au coeur du débat intellectuel sur le combat singulier (vertu, honneur, noblesse, jugement de Dieu) -, ce sont deux façons de concevoir l'organisation de la société française qui s'affrontent dans un véritable duel symbolique. / From the second half of the 16th century to the personal reign of Louis XIV, there was an increase in the number of clandestine duels in France. Through this practice, nobility sought to affirm its class identity in reaction to structural and political changes which affected the Old Regime. This proliferation of combats gave rise to a vast production of works dedicated to this very phenomenon. One group of authors attached to aristocratic values tried to persuade the royal authority to re-establish a legal form of duel, similar to what existed in medieval times. It would create, they argued, an official space for the expression of nobiliary honour and would permit the end of the clandestine duels. An opposite group of authors who belonged to the constituted bodies dedicated to the defense of the structures of the State - magistrates and clergymen - proposed rather to inflict grave punishments on the combatants. This thesis will demonstrate, though the analysis of stylistic processes, of intertextual loans and of the system of references employed in these texts, that the reflection on the duel revolves around heroic imagery, used differently by each group of authors in accord with their own interests. Through an ensemble of recurring figures borrowed from fictional literature or fictionalized history - figures which reinforce a series of key-notions at the heart of the intellectual debate on the duel (such as virtue, honour,

A censura à canção, em virtude de a música ser considerada uma das artes de espetáculo mais abertas a mudanças de padrões comportamentais e políticos, tem particularidades que acabam por interferir na própria produção dos pareceres do censor e potencializar processos vivenciados pela Divisão de Censura de Diversões Públicas. A partir de um corpo documental constituído por pareceres de letras musicais, correspondências trocadas pelos órgãos ligados à censura e pela legislação censória, esta pesquisa pretende examinar como as vicissitudes e as tensões intrínsecas à atividade censória musical durante o regime militar estão presentes no discurso desses técnicos e, ao mesmo tempo, analisar como é demonstrada, nesses documentos, sua inserção no aparato repressivo do Estado autoritário. Para isso, propomos uma nova abordagem dessa censura musical, realizando, em conjunto com análises qualitativas, uma leitura serial e quantitativa das fontes produzidas pelo serviço censório, estabelecendo tendências, repetições, rupturas e mudanças graduais nas dinâmicas da atividade. Estas oscilações, além de reflexos das políticas repressoras do Estado, também lançam luz, por um lado, sobre as relações que os técnicos travavam com a tradição censória, artistas e indústria cultural e, por outro, sobre a construção de uma imagem do serviço como sendo, supostamente, missionário e paladino da moral, perante uma sociedade cada vez mais influenciada por novos valores e grupos opositores ao regime. / Since music is considered one of the performing arts most open to changes in behavior and political patterns, song censorship has singularities that interfere in the production of the censor\'s report and augment the processes experienced by the Censorship Division of Public Entertainment. From a group of documents constituted by organs linked to censorship and censorship legislation, this study intends to examine how the vicissitudes and tensions that are a part of musical censorship activity during the military regime are present in the speech of these technicians and, at the same time, analyze how these documents demonstrate their insertion in the repressive apparatus of the authoritarian State. For this purpose, we propose a new approach to this musical censorship, conducting, alongside qualitative analyses, a serial and quantitative reading of the sources produced by the censorship service, establishing tendencies, repetitions, ruptures and gradual changes in the activity\'s dynamics. These oscillations, aside from reflecting the State repression policies, also shed light on the relationships the technicians developed with the censorship tradition, artists and cultural industry, as well as on the construction of an image of this service as supposedly being missionary and a bastion of morals, to a society increasingly influenced by new values and groups opposing the regime.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / A presente tese âPrÃtica intersemiÃtica no Discurso ImagÃtico-Cancional de Adriana Calcanhotto: uma proposta de anÃliseâ estuda e define o discurso imagÃtico-cancional como uma prÃtica discursiva que mobiliza, atravÃs de procedimentos discursivos, linguagens de diferentes modalidades (tanto de natureza verbal quanto nÃo-verbal) para, num processo intersemiÃtico, compatibilizarem-se com a produÃÃo literomusical e, a partir disso, propiciarem a construÃÃo de sentidos. O alicerce teÃrico no qual fincamos esse conceito procede da AnÃlise do Discurso de linha francesa, considerando, sobretudo, as reflexÃes de Maingueneau (1999), Costa (2012), dentre outros. Com base nisso, a questÃo norteadora da pesquisa: Que proposta de abordagem teÃrica e metodolÃgica para uma anÃlise do discurso imagÃtico-cancional pode ser elaborada a partir das categorias discursivas? A operacionalizaÃÃo dessa questÃo e do objetivo se deu por meio da metodologia exploratÃria, em que, a partir de um corpus especÃfico â a produÃÃo literomusical de Adriana Calcanhotto compreendida entre 1990 e 2000, cuja delimitaÃÃo se deu por ordem cronolÃgica, a fim de se perceber como as respectivas produÃÃes se organizam de acordo com o inÃcio e o encerramento da dÃcada; a partir da apropriaÃÃo das categorias discursivas, cancionais e visuais, elaboramos um guia que propÃe um percurso que viabilize a construÃÃo dos sentidos do texto. à luz dessa metodologia, procedemos o exercÃcio de anÃlise dos dados o qual nos permitiu a conclusÃo de que a natureza interdiscursiva do discurso imagÃtico-cancional propicia sentidos tais que sà os sÃo possÃveis devido ao fenÃmeno da intersemioticidade que se estabelece e que . Essa conclusÃo nos possibilita afirmar que, em virtude disso, hà que promover um letramento verbo-visual; tais construÃÃes discursivas requerem do leitor uma aprendizagem acerca do modo de ler determinadas produÃÃes discursivas. / This thesis " intersemiotic Practice in Speech - Cancional imagery of Adriana Calcanhotto: a proposed analysis " studies and sets the image- cancional discourse as a discursive practice that mobilizes through discursive procedures , languages of different modalities (both verbal nature as nonverbal) to, in intersemiotic process compatibilizarem with the literomusical production and , from that , they encourage the construction of meaning. The theoretical foundation on which fincamos this concept comes from the analysis of French Discourse, considering especially the reflections of Maingueneau (1999), Costa (2012), among others. Based on this, the guiding research question: What proposal for theoretical and methodological approach to an analysis of image- cancional speech can be compiled from the discursive categories? The operationalization of this issue and the goal was through the exploratory methodology, in which, from a specific corpus - the literomusical production of Adriana Calcanhotto between 1990 and 2000, whose limits given in chronological order, in order to realize as their productions are organized according to the opening and closure of the decade; from the appropriation of discursive and visual cancionais , categories prepared a guide that offers a path that makes possible the construction of meanings of the text . In light of this methodology , we proceed to the performance analysis of the data which allowed us to conclude that the nature of the image- interdiscursive cancional speech provides such meanings that are only possible due to the phenomenon of intersemioticidade that is established and that. This conclusion allows us to state that, because of this, there is a verb that promote visual literacy; such discursive constructions require the reader learning about the way of reading certain discursive productions.

Given these characteristics, it is imperative to think of new methodological procedures for the practice of reading images. Thus, this article analyzes the application of the project Image and Memory in Visual Arts classes at the Federal Institute of Maranhão, Buriticupu campus to the practice of imagistic reading from the curatorial model present at the Mnemosyne Atlas by Aby Warburg and the archeology image recommended in the studies of Georges Didi-Huberman, in order to place the student as the protagonist of the curation process visual information, from his visuality and weaving the threads that articulate images from mnemonics and conceptual aspects. / A leitura imagética, nas aulas de Artes Visuais, geralmente ocorre a partir de um acervo de tradição eurocêntrica, estranho a grande parte das visualidades dos alunos e com o processo curatorial protagonizado pelo docente. Frente a estas características, torna-se imperativo pensar em novos processos metodológicos para a prática da leitura de imagens. Dessa forma, o presente artigo analisa a aplicação do projeto Imagem e Memória nas aulas de Artes Visuais do Instituto Federal do Maranhão, campus Buriticupu, para a prática da leitura imagética a partir do modelo de curadoria presente no Atlas Mnemosyne de Aby Warburg e da arqueologia da imagem preconizada nos estudos de Georges Didi-Huberman, com o intuito de situar o aluno como protagonista do processo de curadoria da informação visual, partindo de sua visualidade e tecendo as tramas que articularão as imagens a partir de aspectos mnemônicos e conceituais.

A obtenção de informações com qualidade sobre o nosso planeta vêm se tornando uma exigência cada vez maior. Tais informações devem apresentar um padrão mínimo de qualidade de acordo com as normas técnicas nacionais para que possam ser usadas para fins de: engenharia, cartografia, geoprocessamento e outros. Este trabalho traz subsídios para que os profissionais possam ter confiança na altimetria automática de sistemas fotogramétricos. Para isso, se realizou os modelos numéricos do terreno (MNTs) com pontos gerados automaticamente pelo sistema fotogramétrico digital SOCET SET, comparado com os dados levantados no campo com o uso do sistema GPS (Global Positioning System - Sistema de Posicionamento Global) em tempo real. Essa comparação foi realizada por método estatístico interno ao sistema fotogramétrico SOCET SET e o erro padrão obtido ficou na ordem de 26 cm. A partir desse resultado, gerou-se como produto final uma ortofoto da região em estudo. A utilização da ortofoto deve-se às características de imagens exclusivas deste tipo de produto que equivale a um mapa de linha e permite ver exatamente o objeto-imagem e não símbolos representativos. / Obtaining information with quality about our planet is becoming each time more necessary. These information must have at least the smallest standard quality according to the Brazilian rules about maps to that can be used in: engineering, cartography, data processing and others. This report deal with data to help profissionals giving them confidence in the automatic geometric height of pothogrammetrics systems. Therefore numeric terrain modeling were done with ponts generated automaticly by digital pothogrammetric system SOCET SET and compared with data collected in the field with the use of a GPS system (Global Positioning System) in real time. This comparison was realized by statistician method at SOCET SET pothogrammetric system and the standard error obtained stayed in twenty-six centimeters. As a result, the use of orthophoto, is due to its characteristics of exclusive image of this type of product what means a line map and allow to see exactly the image of the object and not representative symbols.

This essay presents an ecocritical reading of water imagery in selected poems by Carol AnnDuffy, with focus on Duffy’s personified water-voices, how water illuminates history, andDuffy’s metaphor of language as water. After a consideration of the problematics of teachingpoetry in the EFL classroom, the essay concludes that Duffy’s poetry holds potential forstudents to develop environmental literacy, both in content and in form.

This dissertation examines the motif of idolatry in the work of two modernist authors, Oscar Wilde and Joseph Conrad, and one modernist filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock. The idols in these texts serve a contradictory role, signifying both increasing commodification under capitalism and an attempt to formulate a new ethics of image-making in response to this global transition. Chapter 1 analyzes Wilde’s play Salomé. Attending to the original French and to biblical allusion, I demonstrate that the text’s key generative trope is idolatry, which occupies a position both sacred and profane. The play superimposes two moments of historical rupture, positing Salomé as the embodiment of a new artistic potential of idolatry under monopoly capitalism. Chapter 2 analyzes Conrad’s early fiction, particularly The Nigger of the “Narcissus,” “The Return,” “Karain,” and Nostromo. I track a three-stage development in Conrad’s representations of idols, whereby the idol is associated with utopian fantasy, false ideals, and the artistic process. I also identify a new image-making technique, “retroactive modification,” which attempts to destabilize the image and thus counter problems of narrative representation, particularly reification and historical inauthenticity. Chapter 3 analyzes Hitchcock’s Blackmail, Saboteur, and Shadow of a Doubt, and challenges the notion of Hitchcock as auteur. The first two films culminate in sequences featuring monumental and iconic statuary. In the earlier British film, this process signifies a reckoning with history; in the later American film, it signifies the threat of history’s erasure and the degradation of art. Shadow of a Doubt signals a shift to a post-modern global-capitalist paradigm and a focus on the celebrity idol. My methodology builds on the work of Fredric Jameson and Slavoj Žižek to elucidate cultural fantasies underlying the texts and the ways in which the texts perform the psychical maneuver of disavowal, whereby a proposition is simultaneously asserted and denied. This double movement in Wilde, Conrad, and Hitchcock’s texts bespeaks a striving, through the motif of idolatry, to represent the image in motion. Though this desire is finally realized in the technology of film, the authenticity of that realization is undermined by the historical contradictions that enable its production. / 2020-12-11T00:00:00Z

O objetivo desta investigação foi avaliar a eficácia de uma estratégia de psicoterapia breve e grupal baseada em exercícios de fantasia dirigida, e se tal eficácia estava relacionada à atitude das pessoas atendidas frente à imaginação, à vivacidade de suas imagens mentais e ao controle que tinham sobre estas. Os exercícios imagéticos foram realizados com o intuito de promover estados levemente alterados de consciência que, por sua vez, permitissem a ativação de potenciais psicológicos supraconscientes. Isso com o propósito de auxiliar estudantes universitários a superarem problemas de ansiedade em situações de prova e exame. As medidas de um grupo experimental (n=32) em escalas de ansiedade e atitude frente à imaginação, bem como de vivacidade e controle de imagens mentais, tomadas antes e após a realização do tratamento psicoterápico, foram comparadas às de um grupo de controle (n=50). E a análise estatística dos resultados obtidos forneceu indícios claros do sucesso da terapêutica empregada, mas não da relação entre esse sucesso e as variáveis ligadas a imagens mentais que foram levadas em conta. / This investigation\'s purpose was to evaluate the efficacy of brief group psychotherapy based on guided imagery, and if this efficacy was related to clients\' attitude toward imagination and clients\' imagery vividness and control. Guided imagery, aimed to promote slightly altered states of consciousness, were used with the purpose of activating supra conscious psychological potentials to help undergraduates with test anxiety problems. Measures of an experimental group (n=32) on test anxiety, attitude toward imagination, imagery vividness and control scales, taken before and after the therapeutic strategy\'s implementation, were compared with measures of a control group (n=50). Statistical analysis indicated the success of the therapeutic method employed but no clear connections between this success and the imagery related variables considered.

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de descrever o atendimento de uma paciente utilizando imagens relacionadas à sua fobia no contexto clínico. É uma proposta de um enquadre diferenciado em psicoterapia psicanalítica com o fundamento na teoria de objetos e fenômenos transicionais de Winnicott, a qual se refere a uma área para a qual contribuem tanto realidade interna, subjetiva, quanto externa, objetiva, constituindo a área do brincar. A teoria freudiana sobre a angústia é revisada desde o início, em que a fobia era considerada um sintoma o qual podia aparecer em diversas afecções psíquicas. A denominação histeria de angústia foi proposta por Freud em 1909, para descrever a entidade nosológica em que a fobia é a questão central e cujo mecanismo é semelhante ao da histeria. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir do método clínico com a apresentação do estudo aprofundado de um caso. A paciente, de 37 anos, buscou atendimento para aracnofobia. No psicodiagnóstico, foi aplicado o Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias de Walter Trinca. Para a psicoterapia, realizada em 19 atendimentos, foram compostas, junto com a paciente, duas pastas, uma com fotos que lembram aranha e outra com fotos de aranhas e de teias. O caso foi compreendido como histeria de angústia, tendo ocorrido um rápido e intenso processo psicoterapêutico. Discute-se que o imagético instaurou uma linguagem onírica nas sessões, e o onírico, assim como o brincar, é campo de simbolização. As associações a partir das imagens foram eminentemente em torno da temática da aranha, sendo tais associações comparadas ao papel que as fantasias presentes no trabalho do sonho realizado pela consciência vígil têm com relação ao conteúdo latente do sonho. Discute-se que a transicionalidade propiciada pelo imagético permitiu um trabalho de figurabilidade e, ao mesmo tempo, teria permitido a constituição de um pensar por imagens, sendo as imagens associadas a palavras ao longo do processo. A paciente conseguiu uma transformação interna, uma recriação de si em que a pulsão sexual de morte (na concepção de Laplanche) foi transformada, a partir da função objetalizante (Green), em pulsão sexual de vida, com seus processos de integração, síntese e permitindo a constituição de unidades e vínculos. Pode-se considerar que houve cura, no sentido proposto por Herrmann. Conclui-se que o presente estudo de caso evidenciou a potencialidade do uso de imagens em favorecer a simbolização e as elaborações na psicoterapia psicanalítica da fobia. Novas investigações nessa área poderão responder quanto à questão das possibilidades de generalização desta experiência / This paper aims to describe the attendance of a patient by using images related to her phobia in the clinical context. It is a proposal for a differentiated framing in psychoanalytic psychotherapy based on the theory of objects and transitional phenomena by Winnicott, which refers to an area where realities, both internal subjective and external objective contribute and constitute the area of play. The Freudian theory about anguish is reviewed from the very beginning when the phobia was considered a symptom which could appear in diverse mental disorders. The term anguish hysteria was proposed by Freud in 1909 to describe the nosological entity in which the phobia is the central question and whose mechanism is similar to that of hysteria. This work was developed by using the clinical method and a presentation of a detailed case study. A 37-year-old female patient sought treatment for arachnophobia. In her psychodiagnosis, the Drawing-and-Story Procedure by Walter Trinca was applied. Her psychotherapy was conducted in 19 attendances, for which two folders were arranged with the help of the patient, one with photographs that reminded of spiders and another with pictures of real spiders and webs. The case was understood as anguish hysteria and treated in a rapid and intense psychotherapeutic process. It is discussed that the imagery established an oniric language in the sessions and the oniric context is a field of symbolization, just like the area of play. The associations made with the use of images were predominantly around the spider theme; such associations were compared to the role played by fantasies in the dreaming activity, which is carried out by the waking consciousness, in relation to the latent content of dreams. It is discussed that the transitionality provided by the imagery allowed an activity of figurability and at the same time it would have allowed a process of thinkingby images, having images associated with words all along the way. The patient achieved her inner transformation, a re-creation of herself in which her sexual pulsion of death (in Laplanche\'s conception) was transformed from an objectalizing function (Green) into a sexual pulsion of life, with its processes of integration and synthesis, enabling the constitution of units and links. It can be considered that healing did take place, as proposed by Herrmann. It is concluded that the presentcase study demonstrated the potentiality of using images to favor symbolizations and elaborations within the psychoanalytic psychotherapy of phobias. Further investigations in this area may respond to the question of possibilities towards generalizing the experience reported herein
