Ernst Kantorowicz foi membro do Círculo de Stefan George, um dos principais movimentos culturais da Alemanha durante as três primeiras décadas do século XX. Por isso, é indispensável apresentar as contribuições do Círculo de Stefan George para as discussões acerca da História e de sua escrita. A análise da obra de Kantorowicz encontra-se indissociada das propostas vinculadas pelo Círculo de Stefan George. Este trabalho está divido em três capítulos: o primeiro abarca o poeta, Stefan George, e a formação de seu Círculo. O segundo apresenta as ideias do Círculo sobre o conhecimento histórico e os principais conceitos formulados por alguns membros do Círculo de George. O último analisa a obra de Kantorowicz a fim de observar como a biografia do Imperador Frederico II contribuiu para a fundamentação e reinterpretação da identidade nacional alemã e como se relaciona com a escrita da história do Círculo de Stefan George. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The present dissertation aims to analyse Ernst Kantorowicz’s work, Kaiser Friedrich der Zweite, published in 1927, and its relation to the German national identity’s substantiation during the Weimar Republic. Ernst Kantorowicz was a member of the George Circle, one of the most important cultural movements in Germany during the first three decades of twentieth century. Taking in account his contributions to the George Circle on the debate on History and historiography, the analysis of Kantorowicz’s work should be inseparable of the ideas of the George Circle. This work is divided in three chapters: the first one presents the poet, Stefan George, and the formation’s process of his Circle. The second shows the ideas of the Circle about the historical knowledge and the main concepts formulated by some members of the George Circle. The last one analyses Kantorowicz’s work in order to observe how the biography of the Emperor Frederick II contributed to found the ground and reinterpretat the German national identity in its relation to the historiography of the George Circle.

Apresenta informações biográficas sobre os principais artífices deste projeto, os advogados e bibliógrafos belgas, Paul Otlet e Henri La Fontaine, que visaram ampliar a compreensão sobre o meio social e cultural em que atuaram. Procura ampliar a discussão sobre os fatores que motivaram em 1895 a proposta de organização racional de toda a produção intelectual do homem. Apresenta em linhas gerais a visão abrangente e integradora da Documentação que eliminando barreiras físicas, acessava acervos arquivísticos, bibliográficos e museológicos para o registro integral dos assuntos pesquisados. Discute a utilização da Classificação Decimal de Dewey (CDD) na criação do Repertório Bibliográfico Universal e analisa o processo que levou ao surgimento da Classificação Decimal Universal (CDU). Conclui sugerindo a inclusão desta visão extensiva e integradora da documentação ao referencial teórico da Ciência da Informação. Sugere que o resgate deste aporte teórico poderá contribuir para um melhor enfrentamento dos problemas da gestão do conhecimento registrado, produzido e acumulado até os dias atuais, nos mais diversos formatos, suportes e repositórios. _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The research seeks to identify and analyze the circunstances and motivations that led to theoretical emergence in the late nineteenth century, the area of study called Documentation. Presents biographical information about the principal architects of this project, the lawyers and Belgian bibliographers Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine. Seeks to understand the social and cultural environment in which acted as well as broaden the discussion about the factors that motivated its proposal for rational organization of the entire intellectual production of man. Presents a comprehensive and integrative Documentation vision in relation to nrestricted access to archival, bibliographic and museum collections. Discusses the use of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) in Universal Bibliographic Repertory and analyzes the process that led to the emergence of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). Concludes by suggesting the inclusion of this extensive and inclusive vision of the Documentation of Paul Otlet, to the theoretical reference of Information Science. Suggests that the theoretical rescue may contribute to better addressing the problems of recorded knowledge management, produced and accumulated to the present day, in various formats, media and repositories.

Na pesquisa do conjunto da sua obra procuramos explorar os elementos que configurariam a construção da sua problemática, isto é, as formas pelas quais Bornfim selecionou, formulou e resolveu aquilo que tomou como seu "problema". Apresentamos, nesse sentido, a problemática da "educação como redenção nacional" em tomo da qual se organizam a reflexão, a obra e a própria atuação político-intelectual de Manoel Bornfim no contexto social da Primeira República. Analisando uma das obras de literatura escolar do autor, Através do Brasil, como um outro ângulo de acesso à sua reflexão, procuramos demonstrar como esta problemática ganha contornos pragmáticos configurando uma determinada idéia de "ação educativa" através da qual Bornfim esperava poder reformar toda a sociedade brasileira. Esta ênfase na educação teria permitido ao autor afastar-se do "paradigma" biológico dominante na época para realizar uma reflexão de caráter histórico-cultural, relativamente pioneira sobre as possibilidades de remissão do "atraso brasileiro" e assim da própria inserção do país no progresso da "modernidade" burguesa através da educação; essa mesma idéia, contudo, tomando como premissa que os sistemas educacionais moldariam as sociedades, acabaria por circunscrever a reflexão de Manoel Bornfim a um âmbito ético de avaliação da formação da sociedade brasileira. / Abstract: The dissertation has as its main objective to show Manoel Bomfim's reflection as well as to define one of his fundamental lines of development. At the research of the complex of his handiwork we tried to explore the elements which would configurate the construction of his problematic, which means the way through which Manoel Bomfim selected, formulated and solved the thing that was taken by him as his "issue". So, we present here the issue of the "education as a national redemption", around which it is organized not only the thought but also the handiwork and the politic-intelctual act of Manoel Bomfim at the social context of the First Republic. Analysing one of the author's literature scholar books, "Através do Brasil", as a way to achieve his thoughts, we tried to show how his issue gets pragmatic contour tines that will form a specific idea of "educacional action" through which the author thought he could reform the whole Brazilian society. The emphasis on education whould have allowed him to keep, away from the biological "paradigm", which was predominant at that period, and leading him to the realization of a historical-cultural reflexion, a breakthrough in therms of the remission possibilites of the "Brazilian delay" which would happen through education, as so as the country's insertion at the "Modernity" progress. Taking into account that the educational systems would mould societies, this same idea would end up by circunscribing Manoel Bomfim's reflection to an ethic avatiation scope of the Brazilian society constitution. / Mestrado / Mestre em Sociologia

According to parliamentary theory, an executive that is made and unmade by the Lower House of the legislature alone is responsible to that House. But an executive whose existence is not solely dependent on the legislature is not responsible to the legislature. In such systems, usually the main branches of government have specific functions, possess limited rights of veto over one another, and have independent existences. They are known as separation-of-powers systems. The purpose of the thesis is to discover whether the prewar Japanese polity approximated more closely to a parliamentary system or a separation-of-powers system. Its method is to identify all the political institutions which made and unmade the executive in 1890-1940. When institutions are not easily identifiable, for example, when a cabinet resigned because of public rioting, the influences responsible for Cabinet changes are translated into politico-institutional forces. Because there was always a struggle over the selection of Prime Ministers and then over Cabinet seats, the selection of Prime Ministers is examined separately from the formation of cabinets. A classification of the reasons for Cabinet composition and its rise and fall is used to determine whether institutional relationships are better understood in terms of parliamentary or separation-of-powers theory. The results of the investigation reveal that: i) Each of the prewar political institutions had a separate identifiable function and tried to have the executive pursue the policies it desired in matters related to its function. ii) Each institution possessed a limited veto power over each of the others and used this power to ensure that the Cabinet included representatives from it. The Cabinet regularly consisted of representatives from most institutions: the two Houses of the Diet, the Army, the Wavy, and the Civil Service. iii) Each institution had an existence independent of each of the others, and only the Cabinet never had an independent power base. Usually at least three institutions had to support a new Prime Minister before he could assume office, and usually two had to conspire to force his resignation. Because only rarely could any single institution on its own raise or pull down an entire ministry, the existence of the Cabinet was separate from each individual institution and the Cabinet was not responsible to any. Separation-of-powers theory alone emphasises the lack of the executive's total dependence on the legislature, or on any other institution for that matter. The need for at least three institutions to raise and two to pull down a ministry indicates that the Cabinet never had a completely independent existence. Not having its own separate power base, it was the joint creation of other institutions. Though its existence was separate from each individual institution, its rise and fall was not independent of combinations of other institutions. The prewar Japanese polity, however, bore only a slight similarity to a parliamentary system, in which the executive is entirely dependent on the Lower House of the legislature. Because only very rarely could the Lower House of the legislature on its own pull down an entire ministry, only occasionally were parliamentary type forces present, and the polity functioned regularly as a separation-of-powers system. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate

As is clear from the title, this thesis presents a comparison of Schenkerian and Ciceronian principles. The thesis will focus mainly on the characteristics of the creative process essential for producing a sublime and intellectual work. Admittedly comparing a Roman lawyer/philosopher (Cicero) to a 20th century musician/theorist (Schenker) will bring forth many obstacles and will suffer from numerous imperfections. Stressing the commonalties between two men of time frames too far apart is an arduous task. I found it most helpful to go about this problem through three stages: first, by presenting an overview of the lives, historical circumstances, and careers of the two mentioned figures; second, by presenting a basic comparison of the two branches of thought; and third, by dealing with some of the more complicated philosophical issues for a better understanding of the two doctrines. Since many of the Schenkerian and Ciceronian principles are heavily rooted in Platonism, an overview of Plato's theory of 'forms and ideas' is presented to guide the reader toward a better grasp of the concepts. The reader may, however, be uncertain regarding the objective of this thesis: is this a comparison of the two philosophies or an evaluation of them? Of course, in order to achieve a satisfactory comparison, one must first understand the two philosophies; this demands an explicit analysis which, in my view, is a form of evaluation. I have also shown and questioned some of the ambiguities of the two philosophies without offering any solutions. This will perhaps help the reader to understand the path I had to take in completing this thesis. I have included these philosophical remarks in the endnotes. Furthermore, Schenkerian philosophy reveals many other important influences other than Platonism; although not the focus of this thesis, numerous references to great thinkers such as Nietzsche, Spinoza, Hanslick, and Freud illustrate this point. Much of the presented bibliographical material on the life of Cicero can be found in the On the Commonwealth and On the Laws. Furthermore, Michael B. Fuster's Masters of Political Thought has been used as a source of reference for a great portion of the philosophical interpretations. Much of what I have presented on Schenker and Schenkerian literature has been gathered through my studies and conversations with Dr. Benjamin, my advisor: the most reliable source with whom I am acquainted. This is perhaps the reason for not including any other philosophical writings on Schenkerian literature in the bibliography. / Arts, Faculty of / Music, School of / Graduate

In the early modern period, literary Sinitic (also known as classical Chinese) was a shared writing system and cultural asset in East Asia. The Sinitic text, while being voiced in various local languages, remained largely the same across the region. The shared Sinitic writing enabled educated people in East Asia who spoke different languages to engage in conversation through writing. It was the silence of literary Sinitic that enabled it to be a trans-local communicating system. However, where is the place for the Chinese sound in the neat picture of the Sinitic writing system versus its various local vocalizations in different countries? Focusing on the effort of Japanese scholars in restoring Chinese sound to the Sinitic text, this dissertation brings the conceptualization and practice of spoken Chinese in the eighteenth century Japan into the supposedly silent Sinitic culture. The early modern Japanese learners of contemporary spoken Chinese intended to vocalize the written Sinitic. When they realized that contemporary spoken Chinese and literary Sinitic writing were actually not compatible, they solved the problem by resorting again to writing. One solution was to propose a new form of Sinitic writing using colloquial expressions, the zokugo (colloquial [Chinese]) writing. The other was to retreat to the comfortable zone of how to pronounce individual sinographs and Sinitic terms—the phonological study of tōon (contemporary Chinese sound). This dissertation studies vocality as the interrelation and interaction of speaking and writing, to illuminate an early modern East Asian concept of language that cannot be contained in the modern, Western phonocentric view. Through examining the language learning and fiction writing that related to contemporary spoken Chinese in eighteenth-century Japan, this dissertation argues that spoken Chinese and literary Sinitic were not the two opposites of a binary, nor was the spoken language the preliminary to the colloquial Chinese writing. In both the spoken language and the colloquial writing, vocality was a spectrum of speaking and writing, the proportion of which was attuned to the preferences of different speakers, social settings, and literary genres. The chapters of this dissertation delineate the trajectory of early modern Japanese engagement with contemporary spoken Chinese in relation to writing. It begins with chapter 1 on Chinese popular fiction—the primary learning material for the study of contemporary spoken Chinese—and its colloquial style that imitates storytelling performance. Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the study of contemporary spoken Chinese in early modern Japan. Chapter 2 contextualizes the study of contemporary spoken Chinese in the early to middle Tokugawa (1600–1868) period—a time when Chinese language study gradually gained attention. Chapter 3 reconstructs the learning of tōwa (contemporary spoken Chinese) in eighteenth-century Japan by pointing out its spectrum of vocality. Chapters 4 depicts the contemplation of the incompatibility of contemporary spoken Chinese and literary Sinitic writing, as well as the transformation from the language learning tōwa to the phonological study tōon. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with the other transmutation of the tōwa study from language study to the zokugo writing, as showcased in the spread of colloquial Chinese fictions in early modern Japan. Chapter 5 examines how Chinese popular fiction was conceptualized and approached in early modern Japan. Chapter 6 shows how eighteenth-century Japan witnessed a gradual increase in the attention paid to the literary format of colloquial Chinese fiction, despite a general emphasis on the colloquial vocabulary. The epilogue discusses colloquial Chinese fiction in nineteenth-century Japan. Together, these chapters delve into the vocality of early modern Japan, as a fascination with speaking that is complexly entangled with writing. The early modern era offers illuminating cases of vocality, with fiction writing intending to capture the essence of oral performance and spoken language, and speech making full use of the literary Sinitic to enhance its cultural flavor. Whereas the eighteenth-century study of contemporary spoken Chinese did explore the spoken language, it was not based on modern phonocentric concepts but to seek to vocalize the written language in its most authoritative version. The multiple efforts to invite speaking into a conversation with writing reveal an early modern perception of language that could not be fully comprehended without considering writing-centered literacy.

This thesis explores a continuous problem facing those who conduct American diplomatic affairs: the appointment of amateurs, with no previous experience in diplomacy, as ambassadors representing the United States abroad. This study contends that the noncareer, nonprofessional appointment is neither necessarily a bad thing nor should it be considered undesirable, given the American system of conducting its foreign affairs. On the contrary this thesis argues that the amateur ambassador can effectively serve to enhance the needs of American foreign policy without having the same professional training.accorded to the career foreign service officer.
