This thesis will examine the representation, consequence and transformation of the idea of authorship in the work of James Joyce and suggest a way of re-addressing the contentious question of authorship. While postmodern criticism has emphasised the “revolutionary” cultural and political ramifications of Joyce’s response and the ways that his work has helped to deconstruct this question for modernity and postmodernity, this thesis will trace the ideas and ideologies, individuals and characters, historical, cultural and biographical circumstances that contributed to both the prominence and the hermeneutical consequence of the question of authorship in Joyce’s work. Highlighting Joyce’s awareness of and fascination with the multivalency of a question shaped by theological, historical, political, philosophical, philological, epistemological, methodological and hermeneutical ideas as well as literary representations, it will examine Joyce’s reformulation and response to this question through four pervasive models of authorship in his work: critic, philosopher, bard and theologian. While each chapter will make a distinction between these models in order to analyse their characteristics and significance, as a way of tracing not only the evolution of these models but also the complex network of interrelation that is established between these distinctive but also intertwining ideas of authorship, the thesis will be structured historically, biographically and “ergographically” (in Barthes’ definition of an ‘ergography’) as well as thematically. As a way of approaching the ideologically overdetermined concept of authorship, but also avoiding another postmodern “renaming” of this concept, these models will be proffered in order to examine the construction, fabrication and invention as well as the deconstruction of the idea of authorship and the representation of the role of the author in fiction, culture, society and history in the work of Joyce. The “drama” of authorship will be interpreted in terms of Joyce’s fictional and hermeneutic dramatisation of the role and idea of the author, but also in terms of the consequence of Joyce’s interest in and early idealisation of the genre of drama. This thesis will finally suggest that Joyce’s “failure” to become a dramatist and engagement with philosophical analyses of this genre contributed significantly to his deconstruction, reconstruction and dramatisation of the role and “exagmination” of the author. The thesis as a whole will delineate how each of these four models gradually becomes more distinctive but simultaneously also inextricable from a variegated template that is only methodologically divided into four parts; the four exegetes in Finnegans Wake inconspicuously multiply. The first three chapters will follow the attempt outlined in Joyce’s early draft of the Portrait ‘to liberate from the personalised lumps of matter that which is their individuating rhythm, the first or formal relation of their parts’- the growing self-consciousness of the artist’s understanding of his role(s) as an artist and of the idea(s) of authorship. In the last two chapters that will look at Ulysses and Finnegans Wake these four models will be more clearly differentiated although the growing theatricality in their portrayal and widening nexus of relations will complicate and indeed undermine the idea of a “model”.

The target of the research is to present the historical reasons whom the Presbyterian liturgy was changed during the military dictatorship considering the standard established by the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. Thus, two questions guided this research: a The Presbyterian liturgy reacted facing the authoritarian of civil-military dictatorship?; b Or the Presbyterian liturgy was adapted due the misfortunes of the military regime? Thus, before the closing of the socio-political and religious structures, spirituality arising from this period was hostage of the military coup. The liturgical expression of IPB was held most of the times in favor of the military regime. Our primary objective is to demonstrate the reasons why the Presbyterian liturgy was transformed considering the standard established by the IPB s tradition. / O presente trabalho visa elucidar a liturgia reformada na Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil (IPB) entre os anos de 1964-1978, vista por um viés histórico, especialmente a partir dos seguintes documentos: Princípios de Liturgia (PL), Constituição da IPB, Manual do Culto, Digesto Presbiteriano, além de outros documentos reformados. O objetivo da pesquisa é apresentar as razões históricas pelas quais a liturgia presbiteriana foi transformada na época da ditadura militar em relação ao padrão estabelecido pela tradição da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil. Desse modo, duas perguntas nortearam esta pesquisa: a - A liturgia presbiteriana reagiu diante do regime autoritário da ditadura civil-militar?; b - Ou a liturgia presbiteriana foi adaptada diante dos infortúnios do regime militar? Assim, diante do fechamento das estruturas sócio-políticas e religiosas, a espiritualidade oriunda deste período foi refém do golpe militar. A expressão litúrgica da IPB foi realizada na maioria das vezes a favor do regime militar. Nosso objetivo fundamental é demonstrar as razões pelas quais a liturgia presbiteriana foi transformada em relação ao padrão estabelecido pela tradição da IPB.

Its frame time dwells within the pré II Vatican Council period. It was a time in which the Catholic Church had had a difficult relationship with the modern world. Let us not forget that during this period some movements within the Church were in search of a greater dialogue with the great cultural movements of the modern world. As a result, we may say that the aforementioned modern architecture has contributed, to some extent, to the purpose of the so called Liturgical Movement, as its aim was to lead the faithful to a major participation within the liturgical celebrations / O presente trabalho aborda as relações entre a liturgia e a arquitetura eclesiástica na cidade de São Paulo na época que antecede ao Concílio Vaticano II. Num período em que a Igreja católica travava uma difícil relação com o mundo moderno, setores dessa mesma Igreja procuravam um maior diálogo com os grandes movimentos culturais advindos da modernidade. Nesse sentido, verificamos como a arquitetura moderna serviu, em alguma medida, aos propósitos do chamado Movimento Litúrgico, o qual visava levar os fiéis a uma maior participação nas celebrações litúrgicas

The synthesis of this Carmelite theologian s thought is focused on her affirmation that the liturgy is the Church s prayer, of the living Christ. From this starting point, the ways are made towards a conclusion that to participate, to live, to celebrate and to be in union with the filial prayer of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, nucleus and the vivificant principle of the liturgical rites of the Christian community, means to restore and to bring to epiphany the dignity of son and daughters of God. It is to reestablish and to teach how to live fraternal relationships and the freedom subjected to it (humanization-glorification-divinization) / No limiar da celebração de quinze anos da canonização de santa Teresa Benedita da Cruz, Edith Stein (22.05.1997 22.05.2013), mostra-se urgente a sistematização de sua proposta litúrgica em nível de pós-graduação stricto sensu. A síntese do pensamento da teóloga carmelita se concentra na afirmação de que liturgia é a oração da Igreja, do Cristo sempre vivo. Desse ponto de partida procedem os caminhos que conduzem e levam a conclusão de que participar, viver, celebrar e unir-se a oração filial de Jesus de Nazaré, o Cristo, núcleo e o princípio vivificador da oração litúrgica da comunidade cristã, restaura e torna epifânica a dignidade de filhos e filhas de Deus, restabelece e ensina a viver relações fraternas e livres (humanização-glorificação-divinização)
