This thesis proposes that a defining feature of Pirandello???s 1921 play ??? Six Characters in Search of an Author, is a relentless transcendentalism. It argues that the play embodies a fascination with existential and conceptual ???occult???, and my hypothesis is that by exploring Pirandello's transcendentalism we may enhance our understanding of how and why Pirandello's play points a mirror up to the invisible and suggests that we could be a reflection of that. Pirandello's drama alludes to some of the most convoluted and enduring debates in western philosophy. However, there is very little English-language material on Pirandello???s relation to philosophy or the relevance of analytical philosophy, metaphysics or epistemology to Pirandello???s playwriting. Even foreign-language studies focus on existentialism, phenomenology and other Continental traditions of philosophy. My contribution is to craft a subjective response to Six Characters in accordance with the methods of analytical philosophy, making use of paradigms and techniques that stem from aesthetics and metaphysics to elucidate a complex self-reflexive play. Chapter One presents analytical philosophy as a potential interpretative framework for the play, whereas chapters two and three explore the metacharacters specifically. This thesis does not seek to offer conclusive assertions about the peculiar ontological status of Pirandello???s metacharacters, rather, it introduces some frameworks and conceptual tools for better approaching their ontolo

O tema de nosso estudo é a atividade de divulgação do Brasil no exterior empreendida pelo diplomata e historiador Manuel de Oliveira Lima. A atividade foi realizada de forma mais intensa entre os anos de 1908 e 1912, período correspondente àquele em que o diplomata ocupou o cargo de Ministro Plenipotenciário da Legação do Brasil em Bruxelas, Bélgica. Tratava-se de conferências em Academias e Universidades e de artigos para revistas literárias, nas quais Oliveira Lima versava sobre a formação histórica da nacionalidade brasileira e tecia críticas literárias sobre escritores brasileiros, a fim de que se divulgassem tais assuntos no exterior - mais precisamente em algumas capitais europeias. Procuramos ao longo do estudo entender o sentido desta atividade. Isto nos levou a articular nossa compreensão de que a divulgação se relacionava aos posicionamentos de Oliveira Lima diante das discussões intelectuais em torno da questão da nacionalidade brasileira e a uma política externa brasileira defendida e executada pelo diplomata diante das questões da inserção do Brasil no Mundo. / The theme of our study is the Brazilian divulgation activity undertaken by the diplomat and historian Manuel de Oliveira Lima. The activity was most intensively carried out between 1908 and 1912, a period corresponding to that in which the diplomat held the position of Minister Plenipotentiary of the Legation of Brazil in Brussels, Belgium. These were lectures in Academies and Universities and articles for literary magazines, in which Oliveira Lima dealt with the historical formation of Brazilian nationality and undertake literary critiques about Brazilian writers, in order to disseminate such subjects abroad - more precisely in some European capitals. Throughout the study, we effort to understand the meaning of this activity. This led us to articulate our understanding that the disclosure was related to the positions of Oliveira Lima in the face of the intellectual discussions around the issue of Brazilian nationality and to a Brazilian foreign policy defended and executed by the diplomat regarding the issues of Brazil\'s insertion in the World.

Uppsatsen undersöker två svenska socknar kring nödåret 1867. Syftet är att se de direkta och varierande konsekvenserna av en missväxt. Socknarna är Vilhelmina i Norrland och Döderhult i Småland och den avgränsade tidsperioden är 1865-1870. Undersökningen har gjorts utifrån församlingarnas kyrkoarkiv samt Statistiska Centralbyråns (SCB) befolkningsstatistik. Forskningsläget visar på varierande konsekvenser av nödåren 1867-1869 och ett tydligt samband med en ökad emigration till Nordamerika, men det finns ingen liknande jämförelse på mikronivå som detta arbete kan visa. I uppsatsen finns en översikt över Sverige på 1860-talet, missväxtåren samt en beskrivning över Vilhelmina och Döderhult. Stapeldiagram presenterar de två socknarnas födda, döda, utflyttade, emigrerade samt totala befolkningsmängd. Vad undersökningen kommer fram till är en negativ men icke dramatisk befolkningsutveckling som skiljer sig åt mellan de två socknarna, framförallt vad gäller emigrationerna. / This essay focuses on two swedish parishes before, during and after the famine in Sweden 1867. The purpose is to see the direct and varying impacts by crop failures. The parishes are Vilhelmina in northern Sweden and Döderhult in southern Sweden. The delimited period is 1865-1870. The study was made based on the parishes' church archives and statistics from Statistiska Centralbyrån (SCB). Previous research shows various impacts by the crop failures 1867-1869 and a clear relationship with the following mass emigrations to North America. But there is no previous comparison on a micro level and between these two different geographical areas which this essay has done. The essay gives an overview about the crop failures, Sweden in the 1860's and facts about Vilhelmina and Döderhult. Statistic bars display the number of deceased, born, expatriates, emigrants and total population. The conclusion of the study is a  negative but not dramatic evolvement of the populations, and with differences between the parishes, particularly regarding the emigrations
