Constructed Boundaries: Reading Architecture in Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping and Jeffrey Eugenides's The Virgin Suicides

Munchow, Sarah 01 August 2014 (has links)
This thesis project analyzes the influence of the built environment on subjectivity in late twentieth-century American fiction. Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping, I contend, uses domestic architecture to inform the concept of female-as-subject, specifically through additive and subtractive construction techniques. These techniques influence public and private definitions of female, as they are present at the level of the individual house as well as the level of the town of Fingerbone as a cohesive unit. Jeffrey Eugenides's The Virgin Suicides interrogates ethnic subjectivity in a suburban setting. A strict grid orders the suburban landscape which, although visually unifying a group of ethnically diverse individuals, ultimately isolates the subjects--down to the scale of the single-family home--as it encourages collective memory, ethnic repression, and the standardization of perspective. In these novels, architecture is an agent which negotiates subjectivity and the vehicle that communicates ideology through and with the material reality of these homes. Reading architecture helps us understand who these characters are and how the built environment shapes the way they have come to define themselves and others as individuals, which ultimately allows for the subversion of such definitions.

O sujeito descentrado e a educação como estética / The decentered subject and education as aesthetics

Guilherme Augusto Rezende Lemos 21 February 2014 (has links)
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O ponto crucial desse trabalho, certamente, são as condições de possibilidades das relações entre o magistério e a educação, arguindo tanto o magistério como a educação sobre o sentido do não-sentido de um currículo. Minha tese é que, analisadas as possibilidades da subjetividade, a autodeterminação é inexequível, isto é, é preciso incluir o outro no eu e essa inclusão pressupõe penetrar as searas do imprevisto. Se assim o é, a subjetividade consiste na responsabilidade, na ação de responder a esse outro que não sou eu, mas que constitui também o eu. Responder ao outro obnubila o eu enquanto singularidade, não há espaço para essa singularidade, portanto ser é imprevisível. Isso significa que é vão o trabalho de tentar planejar a construção do eu (o sujeito, o cidadão) do outro no tempo. O conhecimento, a herança, é também um outro a que se deve responder e cujas respostas produzirão outros outros. O currículo é um outro a que se deve responder, e isso vale tanto para aquele que seleciona quanto para aquele a quem se destina a coleção. Assim sendo, não há um sentido possível para um currículo. O encontro com esse outro selecionado em meio a herança que, por si só é também outro, desmantela o sentido previsto posto que é imprevista a ação da responsabilidade.Resta-nos aderir à vontade de potência, ao moto contínuo da responsabilidade ante o imprevisto. Mergulhar nesse jogo que, distante de uma ação racional, segue um processo de êxtase e não de vertigem ante o conhecimento. Resta-nos deslizar as políticas de governo para as de estado, onde a educação escolar seja vista como investimento não-útil, como um jogo que rompe as bordas dos esquemas dentro-fora, interior-exterior, aqui-ali, meu-teu. Como um processo onde o planejamento futuro é impossível, já que é puro imprevisto. A presente tese não se configura como a defesa de uma ideia, mas como uma adesão, e consequente reflexão, a uma perspectiva de entendimento do que venha ser currículo, prática docente e conhecimento, no recorte da educação escolar, independente do segmento. Trata-se de uma confissão e da busca de um lugar, enquanto professor que exerce seu ofício / The core of this work certainly are the conditions of possibility of the relationship between teaching and education, arguing both teaching and education in relation with the sense of the nonsense of a resume. My thesis is that, analyzed the possibilities of subjectivity, self-determination is infeasible, i.e., you must include the "other" in the "I" and this inclusion involves penetrating the fields of the unexpected. If it is so, subjectivity constitutes responsibility, being the action to respond to this "other" that is not me, but that also constitutes the "I". Reply to the "other" obscures the "I" as uniqueness, there is no room for such uniqueness, so the being is the unpredictable. This means that it is vain to try to plan the construction of the "I" (the individual, the citizen) of the other in time. Knowledge, heritage, are also "others" that must be answered, and those answers will produce other "others". The curriculum is an "other" that must be answered, and this is true for both the one that selects as for the one for whom the collection is intended. Therefore, there is no possible meaning for a résumé. The encounter with the "other" selected among the inheritance, that is also "other" in itself, dismantles the intended meaning, for the action of responsibility remains unpredictable. For us, theres left the option of joining the desire of power, the perpetual motion of liability against the unforeseen. To dive into this game, distant from a rational action, following a process of ecstasy and not of vertigo towards knowledge. What is left for us is to trade government policies for state policies, where education is seen as non-useful investment, as a game that breaks the edges of the inside/out, indoor/outdoor, here/there, mine/yours schemes. As a process for which planning ahead is impossible, since it represents the pure unforeseen. This thesis is not qualified as the defense of an idea, but as an adhesion and consequent reflection, a perspective of understanding of what will be the curriculum, teaching practice and knowledge, in the scenario of school education, regardless of the segment. This is a confession and the seeking of a place as a teacher who exercises his craft

Deusa das noites: personagens (des)veladas

É um dinamismo que surgiu desde a mitologia e que perpassa séculos, transformando-se em si mesmo e antecipando aquilo que ainda não foi vivido. Em um mundo de sonhos, fantasias, imagens, memórias de muitas cenas que fascinam, encantam, seduzem, (des)velam, surge Afrodite - a deusa das noites - de diversas faces e personagens dançantes de tempos (ir)reais que se fazem passado, presente e futuro. Muitos são os caminhos para encontrá-la e o rumo optado faz da experiência um lugar mágico que se mistura a um lugar comum. Falar de DEUSA DAS NOITES: Personagens (des)veladas significa adentrar em um mundo de desejos, (des)encantos e seduções, movido por personagens de um paradoxo: realidade e ficção. Como a dançarina de striptease, por meio da dança erótica, cria as suas personagens entre a realidade e a ficção, possibilitando a e/ou interferindo na produção de subjetividade? Nesta perspectiva, pode-se pensar a referida pesquisa como espaço de experiências, de modos de afetação e produção de sentidos nos/pelos sujeitos em um cenário onde as danças da vida e do imaginário se entrelaçam. Tomando como princípio que a dança, inclusive a erótica, invoca a presença da imaginação, constitui-se como objetivo deste estudo discutir relações presentes entre o real e o ficcional que permeiam a criação da personagem da dançarina de striptease como processo de subjetivação. Esta pesquisa foi sendo produzida a partir de sete encontros com uma jovem dançarina de striptease de 21 anos de idade. Portanto, não busca fechar uma definição sobre o trabalho com o striptease, mas busca aliar-se à dançarina com o intuito de apontar variações e relações construídas no caminho que se traça para além da busca por uma meta... / The course of the imaginary goes to a collective domain, beyond the individual. It's a dynamism that has emerged since the mythology and has been running through the centuries, transforming in itself and anticipating what has not been lived. In a world of dreams, fantasies, images, memories of many scenes that fascinate, enchant, seduce, (un)ensure, emerges Aphrodite - the goddess of the love - of many faces and dancing characters of (un)real times that make themselves past, present and future. There are many ways to find her and the chosen path makes the experience a magical place that blends with the commonplace. Speaking of GODDESS OF NIGHTS: Characters (un)veiled means entering a world of desires, (dis)enchantment, seduction and fantasy, driven by characters of a paradox: reality and fiction. How does a stripper, through erotic dance, create her characters between reality and fiction, allowing and/or interfering with the production of subjectivity? In this perspective, one might think of a specific research as a space of experiences, ways of affectation and meaning production in/by the subjects in a scenario where the dances of life and imagination intertwine. Taking the principle that the dance, including the erotic, invokes the presence of the imagination, constitute the aim of this study to discuss present relations between the real and fictional that underlie the creation of the character of the stripper as a process of subjectification. This research is being produced from seven encounters with a young, 21 year old stripper. Therefore, it does not seek for a definition about the work with the striptease, but seeks to ally itself with a dancer in order to point out variations and relationships built in the path that is traced beyond the search for a goal. It's like enjoy the details in a work of art, doubting what is said, building the path to walk, casting off the call ... Do you want to dance with me?

A reinvenção do humano : uma tese sobre a reemergência dos sujeitos na contemporaneidade midiática / The reinvention of the human : a thesis on the reemergence of the selves on the contemporary medias

Eu presencio essa reemergência, dia após dia, como seu eu presenciasse um astro que se eclipsara e deseclipsou. Considero que o industrialismo, dentro de sua lógica de produção e consumo, desenvolveu dois instrumentos e os massificou: o computador e a internet. Contraditórios aos objetivos de qualquer massificação industrial, o computador e a internet abriram juntos a possibilidade de uma liberdade, na medida em que possibilitaram aos sujeitos se colocarem frente a esses instrumentos de forma mais ativa. Nessa perspectiva, assumo que os sujeitos tiveram que se apropriar das ferramentas produzidas no encontro dessas tecnologias para poderem efetivamente reemergir. Defendo que, para se apropriar das ferramentas contidas no produto computador/internet e conseguir reemergir em atividades sociais diversas como sujeitos ativos (sujeitos diferentes dos constituídos pela educação linguística moderna e pelas mídias da modernidade: televisiva, impressa e radiofônica), tais sujeitos aprofundaram suas relações com as características de liberdade da língua. Invertendo a linha de pensamento, afirmo que ao aprofundar as relações com as características de liberdade da língua, os sujeitos se apropriaram de ferramentas produzidas no encontro de dois instrumentos tecnológicos do industrialismo (computador e internet), e se possibilitam exercer atividades que lhes foram negadas sistematicamente ao longo de toda a modernidade. Precisaram, portanto, tomar a língua de uma forma diferente do que vinham tomando, de receber e repetir o discurso, de entender a língua como estrutura somente / Abstract: At the turn of the twentieth into the twenty-first century, the selves resurfaced. I presence this resurfacing day after day, as if I presenced an eclipsed star which had uneclipsed. I believe that industrialism, within its logic of production and consumption, has developed two instruments and massified them: the computer and the internet. Contradictory to the goals of any industrial massification, however, the computer and the internet together cleared the path to a kind of freedom, in that they enabled individuals to position themselves before these instruments in a more active fashion. Within this perspective, I assume that the subjects had to grasp the tools produced by these technologies, in order to effectively resurface. I argue that, in order to grasp the tools contained in the computer/internet product and be able to reemerge in various social activities as active subjects (unlike those made up by modern linguistic education and the modern medias: TV, press and radio), individuals deepened their relations with the characteristics of freedom of language. Reversing the line of thinking, I state that in deepening the relations with the characteristics of linguistic freedom, individuals took hold of the tools produced in the encounter of two technological tools of industrialism (computer and internet), and managed to perform activities which had been systematically denied to them along modernity. They had, therefore, to see language in a different way than they had been doing throughout modernity, to receive and repeat the discourse, to perceive language as simply structural / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

An evaluaton of the subjective element in atonement doctrine

Perkins, Edwin Alfred January 1967 (has links)
The Church has never formulated an official doctrine of the atonement. Unlike the Trinitarian and Christological doctrines, the atonement was never a major issue in the early ecumenical councils. This central mystery of the faith, which speaks of the restoring of the relationship between God and man through Jesus Christ, has resisted every attempt at 'a formulation or statement in a nutshell'. Tillich has suggested that the Church's refusal to state the doctrine in definite dogmatic terms, is the instinctive recognition of the indefiniteness which is introduced by the human element. This element means that the doctrine has a subjective as well as an objective element. Since in his view the subjective element depends on the incalculable reaction of men to God's provision of a Saviour the formulation of the doctrine must remain uncertain. While we will agree with Tillich that the atonement has an objective as well as a subjective side, we cannot agree that the failure to formulate a doctrine has only to do with the uncertainty implied by the will of men.

Husserl och subjektets självständighet : En undersökning av medvetandets relation till världen i Ideer I och Fenomenologins grundproblem

Bjarkö, Fredrik January 2016 (has links)
In a famous passage in Ideas I, Husserl claims that the pure consciousness is to be understood as independent of anything apart from itself in order to constitute itself, and that it therefore is able exist without a world at all. This notion seems to be contradicted in many of Husserl’s other works as well as stand in conflict with the core of phenomenology itself as a descriptive science of intentional consciousness. Three years before the publication of Ideas I, Husserl held a series of lectures that were later published with the title The Basic Problems of Phenomenology. Here, in stark contrast to Ideas I, the inquiry culminates in stepping beyond the subject as self-given and immanent by instead focusing on intersbjectivity and phenomenological time-consciousness. This essay sets out to examine the relation between the transcendental subject in these two works. It is argued that, while the phenomenological epoché indeed establishes a subject that is prior to the world in the sense that it does not need to suppose the world to guarantee its own existence, Husserl’s philosophical project in The Basic Problems of Phenomenology shows the importance of going beyond such an immanent subject to uncover the full phenomenological field.

Investigation of Human Subjectivity during Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Banghart, Marc D 07 May 2016 (has links)
Several concerns with Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), including acknowledgement that the process contains human subjectivity, can be found in literature; however very little research has been conducted to identify where and to what extent this variation is found. This thesis investigated sources of variation related to human decision making within FMEA. Participants were required to determine the effects of given failure modes by selection of a severity level given varied input information. The study found that participants were not able to sift through the provided information and identify the appropriate cues relating data relevance to the failure mode under analysis. Thus, it appeared that more information will reduce conservatism – however the quality of the information and experience level does not have an effect. The study concluded that FMEAs contain significant subjectivity and data quality assessment must form part of the FMEA framework.
