This project examines the fraught diplomatic and commercial relations between Tokugawa Japan (1600–1868) and the Habsburg Spanish empire in the early seventeenth century. Vessels from Japan called at the port of Acapulco in New Spain three times within a decade, the first attempt in world history at a bilateral commercial relationship across the Pacific. In doing so, the ships also challenged the Spanish monopoly over the waterways between Latin America and Asia. Japanese commercial and diplomatic outreach peaked with the Keichō Embassy to Southern Europe (1613–1620), an effort that dispatched Japanese representatives to the court of Philip III in Madrid, but failed in its mission to secure regular contact between New Spain and northeastern Japan. In analyzing these events, I contrast Japan’s pursuit of commercial and diplomatic expansion with Spanish ambivalence and insularity, inverting essentializing narratives defined by Japanese isolation and European engagement. The project also compares the diplomatic models employed by each polity. I argue that Spain’s established imperial vision and the shogunate’s emerging hierarchical model of foreign relations placed each polity at the pinnacle of their respective diplomatic frameworks, handicapping efforts to communicate, build trust, and integrate each into the worldview of the other. Ultimately, a Spanish policy of containment closed off the Americas to Japan; soon after, the Tokugawa divested from its relationship with the Spanish Philippines in the face of alternative commercial partners and ongoing religious tension. The project thus integrates Japanese history into world history and the history of the Pacific, while questioning the notion of a straightforward commitment to expansion among Europe’s early-modern empires.

At the turn of the twentieth century, as Japan expanded its territory by colonizing other Asian nations, the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty was signed in 1910 and Korea lost its sovereignty. In political turmoil, the formation of national and cultural identity was constantly challenged, and the struggle was not argued in words alone. It was also embedded in various types of visual cultures, with narratives changing under the shifting political climate. This thesis focuses on paintings exhibited in the Joseon Mijeon (조선미술전람회 The Joseon Fine Art Exhibition) (1922-1944), which was supervised by the Japanese colonial government and dominated, in the beginning, by Japanese artists and jurors. By closely examining paintings of ‘local color (향토색)’ and ‘provincial color (지방색),’ which emphasized the essence of a “Korean” culture that accentuated its Otherness based on cultural stereotypes, the thesis explores how representations of Korea both differentiated it from Japan and characterized its relationship with the West. In order to legitimize its colonial rule, politically driven ideologies of pan-Asianism (the pursuit of a unified Asia) and Japanese Orientalism (the imperialistic perception of the rest of Asia) were evident in the state-approved arts. The thesis explores how the tension of modern Japan as both promoting an egalitarian Asia and asserting its superiority within Asia was shown in the popular images that circulated in the form of postcards, manga, magazine illustrations, and more importantly in paintings. Moreover, this project examines both the artists who actively submitted works to the Joseon Mijeon and the group of artists who opposed the Joseon Mijeon and worked outside of the state-approved system to consider the complexity of responses by artists who sought to be both modern and Korean under Japanese colonial rule. / published_or_final_version / Fine Arts / Master / Master of Philosophy

Comme d`autres expressions de la lyrique chrétienne française du XXe siècle, les Cinq Grandes Odes de Paul Claudel ont fait l`objet de peu d`études de la critique littéraire lusophone et demeurent peu connues au Brésil. Cette thèse de doctorat a pour dessein de présenter un commentaire littéraire des Odes suivi d`une traduction intégrale qui les donne à connaître au public brésilien. Ce commentaire se divise en deux parties. Dans la première partie, nous procédons à une lecture de chaque ode de manière à en dégager l`architecture et à faire voir le principe de composition du livre. Nous l`avons identifié dans la dynamique de rapprochement et de prise de distance à l`égard de Dieu, une présence constante au long de ces poèmes, tantôt évoqué indirectement, tantôt interlocuteur à qui le poète confie son monde intérieur. Dans la deuxième partie, après une exposition sur l`usage du symbole en poésie, sur la conception du symbole chez Claudel et sur les observations de la critique claudélienne à ce sujet, on en vient à une analyse de quelques symbolismes qui parsèment le texte. Méritent notre attention le symbolisme pyrique, tellurique, aérien, lumineux, ouranien, des ténèbres et des eaux. Nous indiquons comment ces symbolismes (exception faite au symbolisme ouranien) se situent par rapport à la structure même du livre, reflétant également, dans sa signification, les pôles opposés de rapprochement et de prise de distance quant à Dieu. Nous illustrons, ainsi, l`usage poétique du symbole dans les Odes et nous mettons en relief l’approche dynamique, anti-didactique et polysémique de Claudel. L`étude de la polysémie des Odes sur le plan des symboles permet de traiter aussi de la polysémie dans le langage poétique du livre. Cette polysémie se trouve à la source de quelques-unes des principales difficultés auxquelles nous nous sommes heurtés au long du processus de traduction du livre, traduction laquelle constitue le deuxième moment de cette thèse et qui cherche à récréer en portugais le rythme, la force rhétorique et l`impact des images du poème français. / Como outras expressões da lírica cristã francesa do século XX, as Cinq Grandes Odes (1910), de Paul Claudel, foram objeto de raros estudos da crítica lusófona e permanecem pouco conhecidas no Brasil. A presente tese de doutoramento tem por intuito apresentar um comentário literário das Odes, seguido de uma tradução integral que as dê a conhecer ao público brasileiro. Esse comentário divide-se em duas partes. Na primeira parte, procede-se a uma leitura de cada ode, a bem de extrair sua arquitetura e de dar a ver o princípio de composição do conjunto do livro. Identificamo-lo na dinâmica de aproximação e de afastamento do sujeito poético com relação a Deus, presença constante ao longo dos poemas, ora evocado indiretamente, ora interlocutor a quem o poeta confia seu mundo interior. Na segunda parte, após uma exposição sobre o uso do símbolo em poesia, sobre a própria concepção de Claudel sobre o símbolo e sobre as observações de sua fortuna crítica acerca do tema, é levada a bom termo uma análise de alguns simbolismos que permeiam o texto. Merecem nossa atenção o simbolismo pírico, telúrico, aéreo, aquático, tenebroso, luminoso e urânico. Indicamos como esses simbolismos (exceção feita ao urânico) situam-se na mesma estrutura o livro, refletindo igualmente, em sua significação, os polos opostos de aproximação e de distanciamento quanto a Deus. Ilustramos, assim, o uso poético do símbolo nas Odes, sublinhando a abordagem dinâmica, anti-didática e polissêmica de que se serve Claudel. O estudo da polissemia nas odes no plano dos símbolos permite tratar igualmente do problema da polissemia na própria linguagem poética das Odes, fonte de algumas das principais dificuldades encontradas no processo de tradução do livro, tradução essa que constitui o segundo momento desta tese e que busca recriar em português o ritmo, a força retórica e o impacto das imagens do poema francês.

I argue these problems are grounded in a conception of persons as independent and radically autonomous, rather than interdependent and embedded in social communities. Mediators often justify professional expansion by claiming mediation is more empowering than other ADR methods. However, absent a well-developed theory of interdependence, mediation perpetuates the power of negative socioeconomic forces over clients, furthering oppression not empowerment. Central to Follett's theory is a conception of power consistent with the idea that persons are interdependent. Effective domestic mediation reform could be achieved using Follett's theory, which demonstrates how ostensibly individual matters leading to "private" conflicts are inseparable from social circumstances and public concerns. I conclude with several solutions based on this alternative conception that help rectify current ADR problems. / Adviser: Scott Pratt

The overall aim of the thesis is to realize the racial speech modes of expression in the above work and establish the network of symbolic and social relations that dialogue directly and indirectly with his stance in his first novel which deals with immigration. More specifically, we seek to: a) analyze the way Aranha presented and discussed by means of their characters topics race, progress and civilization, key terms for the Brazilian racial speech; b) Peering social place Aranha and racial theories that influenced the "theses" presented in Canaan; c) Explore the way by which the racial ideology guided the debate on the bill of Brazil and the Brazilian identity; d) To investigate the senses of European immigration process (for Aranha, German) for Brazil and the relationship between blacks and whites in the early twentieth century and the beginning of the sword republic. Methodologically, there was a documentary research that had as data collection instrument to analyze the qualitative speech, following the basic guidelines of Orladi (1988, 1992, 1993) and Foucault (2009). In conclusion, it was realized that the literary work Canaan presented a kaleidoscope of related ideas to the common discourse at the time, since the nietzscheniano superman Lentz, passing to racial references Reef School to discuss, ultimately, the national identity and how this would be affected by foreign immigration phenomenon. / A pergunta de partida que norteia esse estudo é: de que forma o(s) discurso(s) raciológico(s) se expressa(m) na literatura brasileira por meio da obra Canaã (1902) de Graça Aranha? O objetivo geral da tese é perceber os modos de expressão do discurso raciológico na obra supracitada e estabelecer a rede de relações simbólicas e sociais que dialogam direta e indiretamente com sua postura em seu primeiro romance que trata sobre a imigração. De modo mais específico, buscamos: a) Analisar o modo pelo qual Graça Aranha apresenta e discute por meios de suas personagens os temas raça, progresso e civilização, termos-chave para o discurso raciológico brasileiro; b)Perscrutar o lugar social de Graça Aranha, bem como as teorias raciais que influenciaram as "teses" apresentadas em Canaã; c) Explorar o caminho, pelo qual o ideário racial pautou o debate sobre o projeto de Brasil e a identidade do brasileiro; d) Investigar os sentidos do processo de imigração europeia (no caso de Graça Aranha, dos alemães) para o Brasil e a relação entre negros e brancos no início do século XX e início da república da espada. Metodologicamente, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental que teve como instrumento de coleta de dados a análise do discurso qualitativa, seguindo as orientações elementares de Orladi (1988, 1992, 1993) e Foucault (2009). À guisa de conclusão, percebeu-se que a obra literária Canaã apresentou um caleidoscópio de ideias referentes ao discurso comum à época, desde ao super-homem nietzscheniano de Lentz, perpassando às referências raciais da Escola do Recife para discutir, em última instância, a identidade nacional e como esta ficaria afetada pelo fenômeno da imigração estrangeira.
