Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, el Perú fue partícipe de una de las celebraciones más importantes de ese periodo: las exposiciones universales. Este tipo de evento tenía como objetivo la presentación de muestras representativas de cada nación, con las cuales podía medir su proceso de construcción de la nación y su desarrollo en comparación a otros países de similares o diferentes características. Para el estudio de estos eventos en particular, el trabajo de archivo es fundamental. La creación de criterios de organización de la información sería de utilidad tanto para un historiador en formación como para un investigador con experiencia. Algunos criterios como los elementos expuestos en las exposiciones, miembros de la comisión organizadora o reconocimientos obtenidos en estos eventos permiten orientar al investigador en su búsqueda de información y organizarla de manera correcta, como también ubicar la línea de investigación a seguir. Asimismo, el acto de complementar la información recogida con fuentes de otros formatos permite al historiador mantener el contacto de éste con su objeto de estudio, abriendo paso a la reflexión. En suma, el presente trabajo abordará el tema de la participación peruana en las exposiciones universales de Filadelfia de 1876 y París de 1878 y propondrá criterios para el ordenamiento de la información encontrada en las fuentes consultadas en el Archivo Central de la Cancillería. Además, la misma será complementada con la información procedente de artículos periodísticos del período estudiado.

This dissertation charts a lineage of nineteenth-century British literary interventions into the arena of science and philosophy jointly known as vitalism. Intended in part as a contribution to the history of science, Passive Life reconstructs the largely forgotten genealogy of a robust tradition of Victorian-era materialist vitalism, or vital materialism: the theory that a principle of life inheres in all physical matter. I connect this scientific trend to a concurrent surge of cultural engagement with the seventeenth-century philosophy of Baruch Spinoza, whose monist doctrine received renewed attention as experimental developments in biology, physics, physiology, and epidemiology increasingly supported a vital materialist account of the nature of life. Through readings of novels by Mary Shelley, Harriet Martineau, and George Eliot, I position these three women writers as key figures in vitalism’s cultural reception. By attending to the thematic resonances between their novels and materialist vitalism’s major principles and provocations, Passive Life traces the narrative arc of Victorian vitalism, deepening and expanding extant scholarly accounts of the rich interchange among literature and science in the nineteenth century. Moving beyond reception history, however, this dissertation argues that the novels of Shelley, Martineau, and Eliot worked to construct critical interpretations of vitalist theory with a shared emphasis on passivity as a fundamental feature of life. Through innovative techniques of description and characterization, their fiction locates the passivity of life at the level of the material body, in its inherent contingency, fluidity, and impressibility. The view of embodied subjectivity that thus emerges from these novels complicates the liberal humanist model that rose to predominance in Victorian culture and privileged an active, self-determining subject. Within the counter-tradition to which Shelley, Martineau, and Eliot belonged, the idea of “passive life” occasioned pressing ethical and political quandaries involving the relationships between self and other and between subject and environment. On the one hand, treating embodied life as passive pointed speculatively toward more liberated, open-ended, and mutually sustaining forms of communal being. On the other hand, “passive life” also suggested the vulnerability and precarity of bodies helplessly exposed to their material and affective surroundings, raising important questions regarding intention, obligation, and accountability. How do we live well in a world where so many other embodied lives impress upon our own? Can pain and harm be prevented in such a world? What habits of perception and practices of sociality might be evolved and adapted to the realities of passive life? In confronting these questions, nineteenth-century British fiction provides conceptual frameworks well suited to interrogating the political and ethical implications of the twenty-first-century new materialist turn.

Esta dissertação tem por tema a atuação do artista Oscar Pereira da Silva (1867 - 1939) enquanto pintor história no Museu Paulista, entre os anos de 1920 e 1922, durante a gestão de Afonso d\' Escragnolle Taunay (1876 - 1958). Quando do preparo do Museu Paulista, visando às celebrações do Centenário da Independência, em setembro de 1922, o artista foi, entre muitos outros, confiado por Taunay a realizar as pinturas cujo conteúdo remetiam a cenas do passado nacional, e do paulista, em particular. Busca-se compreender os meandros que possibilitaram o recrutamento de tal artista para a nova decoração empreendida dentro do Museu, a partir de sua atuação no meio artístico paulistano, - e as implicações de sua transferência do Rio de Janeiro, em fins do século XIX, - e o quanto das pinturas selecionadas para este estudo estavam inseridas em um debate maior que buscava destacar a importância de São Paulo na história do Brasil. / This dissertation has the theme of the performance artist Oscar Pereira da Silva (1867 - 1939) as history painter in the Paulista Museum, between the years 1920 and 1922 , during Afonso d\' Escragnolle Taunay ( 1876-1958 ) management. When the preparation of the Museum, targeting the Independence Centenary celebrations, in September 1922 , the artist was, among many others, entrusted by Taunay to perform paintings whose content remitted the scenes of the national past, and São Paulo, particularlly. We seek to understand the intricacies that allowed the recruitment of such artist for the new decor undertaken within the Museum, from its operations in São Paulo art world, - and the implications of his move from Rio de Janeiro, in the late nineteenth century, - and how those paintings, selected for this study, were included in a larger debate that sought to highlight the importance of São Paulo in Brazil\'s history .

In Natal and Zululand Swedish missions had precedence through the Church of Sweden Mission from 1876 on, the Swedish Holiness Mission from 1889 on, and the Scandinavian Independent Baptist Union from 1892 on. Between 1876 and 1902, thirty-six women were active in these South African missions. The history of all these women are explored on an individual basis in this, for the most part, empirical study. The primary goal of this dissertation is to find out who these women missionaries were, what they worked at, what positions they held toward the colonial/political situation in which they worked, and what positions they held in their respective missions. What meaning the women’s mission work had for the Zulu community in general, and for Zulu women in particular are dealt with, though the source material on it is limited. Nevertheless, through the source material from the Swedish female missionaries, Zulu women are given attention. The theoretical starting points come, above all, from historical research on women and gender and from historical mission research about missions as a part of the colonial period. Both married and unmarried women are defined as missionaries since both groups worked for the missions. In the Swedish Holiness Mission and in the Scandinavian Independent Baptist Union the first missionaries in Natal and Zululand were women. The Church of Sweden Mission was a Lutheran mission were women mostly worked in mission schools, homes for children and in a mission hospital. Women were subordinated in relationship to male missionaries. In the Swedish Holiness Mission and in the Scandinavian Independent Baptist Union women had more equal positions in their work. In these missions women could be responsible for mission stations, work as evangelists and preach the Gospel. The picture of the work of female missionaries has also been complicated and modified.

The dissertation firstly looks at how the Arabic essay and short story developed in Egypt since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Then a discussion follows on the life and contribution of the Egyptian author, Mustafā Lutfī al-Manfalūtī, as representative of this literary evolution. The general influences on Egyptian literature are discussed, and the general development of Arabic prose from 1850 onwards is then detailed, including the efforts to save Arabic literature from stagnation and degeneration. Following this, the focus is on the origins of the essay and short story. This leads to dealing with the growth and advancement of the essay and short story, together with the revival of the Arabic heritage and how the Arabic novel came into being. Then Mustafā Lutfī al-Manfalūtīs biography, environmental circumstances and personalities that influenced his writings are focused on. Afterwards, the core discussion is Al-Manfalūtīs seven literary works, and his ideas and opinions as reflected in his writings. In conclusion, the relevance of his writings and an appraisal of his literary contributions are detailed. / Religious Studies & Arabic / M.A. (Arabic)

This study undertakes an examination of the representation of nature in works of literature that it regards as early British ‘mythopoeic fantasy’. By this term the thesis understands that fantasy fiction which is fundamentally concerned with myth or myth-making. It is the contention of the study that the connection of these works with myth or the idea of myth is integral to their presentation of nature. Specifically, this study identifies a connection between the idea of nature presented in these novels and the thought of the late-Victorian era regarding nature, primitivism, myth and the impulse behind mythopoesis. It is argued that this conceptual background is responsible for the notion of nature as a virtuous force of spiritual redemption in opposition to modernity and in particular to the dominant modern ideological model of scientific materialism. The thesis begins by examining late-Victorian sensibilities regarding myth and nature, before exposing correlative ideas in selected case studies of authors whose work it posits to be primarily mythopoeic in intent. The first of these studies considers the work of Henry Rider Haggard, the second examines Scottish writer David Lindsay, and the third looks at the mythopoeic endeavours of J. R. R. Tolkien, the latter standing alone among the authors considered in these central case studies in producing fiction under a fully developed theory of mythopoesis. The perspective is then widened in the final chapter, allowing consideration of authors such as William Morris and H. G. Wells. The study attempts to demonstrate the prevalence of an identifiable conceptual model of nature in the period it considers to constitute the age of early mythopoeic fantasy fiction, which it conceives to date from the late-Victorian era to the apotheosis of Tolkien’s work.

O que quer uma mulher... grávida? Para uma pergunta clássica, uma resposta também clássica: a saúde do bebê. Nesta pesquisa, a representação do corpo do feto foi referência para o exame dos mecanismos regressivos, presentes no discurso de três mulheres, nas últimas semanas de gestação. Foi realizada, com cada uma delas, uma entrevista semidirigida, e o discurso, analisado pelas balizas teóricas fornecidas pelas obras de Freud e Winnicott. Na gestação, à semelhança do estado de sono, parte das excitações psíquicas terá um caminho regrediente. Conceito mutável, de origem múltipla e com diversos pontos de chegada. Desde a Interpretação dos sonhos, Freud proporá inúmeras ordenações: regressão tópica, temporal, formal, da libido do ego versus libidinal, regressão ao narcisismo primário e à alucinação do desejo, regressão aos primeiros objetos versus a toda organização sexual e regressão do eu. Para Winnicott, o mecanismo refere-se à regressão do eu a estados de maior dependência e indiferenciação. A leitura de Soifer e Langer propiciou uma aproximação psicanalítica da experiência gestacional em seus aspectos fantasmáticos, regressivos e estruturantes, e o livro Obstetrícia psicossomática ampliou o campo, na perspectiva médica. Na Psicanálise, orientada pela leitura de Bleichmar, Schneider, Simanke e Gurfinkel, aspectos da obra de Winnicott e Freud ganharam maior relevo e originalidade. Nas leituras realizadas, o foco na representação do corpo do feto apontava para as fantasias gestacionais sobre o bebê que, por sua vez, remetiam a desejos emergentes da elaboração edipiana e ao horror do incesto. Um funcionamento psíquico especial deve estar em ação para que desejos tão primitivos sejam evocados. Nesta configuração especial, a característica discursiva, descrita por Schneider como fala catártica, conjugava a intensidade à convocação de um experimentar com, presente no desdobramento da vontade insaciável de ver o bebê: ver, ver-se, vê-lo, ser vista, ver e não enxergar, não ver, ver a gente... Necessidade universal que parece fazer referência ao gradativo esfumaçamento das fronteiras entre fantasia e realidade. Assim, a preocupação com a saúde, capaz de centrifugar a atenção de uma mulher, parece surgir onde a imaginação, sobrecarregada de imagens e afetos, desiste. Entre o ideal e o real invisível resta, portanto, a saúde, esta abertura, este hiato pleno de sonhos e temores, constituintes de um espaço que sustenta, sob tensão, desejo e mistério. Entre conflitos exuberantes, que envolveram a representação do corpo do feto, a regressão temida pelos obstetras fonte de desorganização do ego mostrou-se fonte de transformação. Quando o psiquismo se volta para suas bases, reencontra um momento de profunda criação. Ao postular a regressão como origem da figurabilidade, Freud apresenta seu aspecto criativo, construtivo. Em Winnicott, a criatividade está na possibilidade de retorno ao estado de não-integração primária que, segundo Gurfinkel, é o precursor do conceito de Informe. / What does a woman wantwhen pregnant? For such a classic question, an answer of the same nature: the health of the baby. In this research, the representation of the foetus body was the reference for examination of the regressive mechanisms found in the speech of 3 women in their last weeks of pregnancy. A half-guided interview was carried through with each one of them and the speech was analyzed in the light of the theoretical basis established in the works of Freud and Winnicott. During the gestation, as it happens during the sleep state, part of the psychic excitements has the course directed to a regressive way. Changeable concept, with multiple origins and a variety of destinations, Freud, since the Interpretation of the Dreams, had considered the regression as follows: topical, temporal, formal; libido of the ego versus libidinal; to the primary narcissism and the desires hallucination; to first objects versus the whole sexual organization and the regression of Ego. For Winnicott the mechanism is related to the regression of self to fusional states. Regarding the pregnancy, the works of Raquel Soifer and Marie Langer propitiated a psychoanalytical approach of the gestational experience in its fantasmatic, regressive and structuring aspects and the book Psychosomatic Obstetrics extended the field under the medical perspective. In the Psychoanalysis, guided for Bleichmar, Schneider, Simanke and Gurfinkel studies, aspects of the Winnicott and Freud works had gained greater detailing and originality. In those readings, the focus in the representation of the foetus body pointed towards the gestational fantasies, which, in turn, sent to emerging desires of the Edipian elaboration and the horror of the incest. A special psychic functioning must operate so that primitive desires can be evoked. In that special configuration, the discursive characteristic described by Schneider as cathartic speech, link its intensity to the need of one to try with, existing in the desire to see the baby: to see, to see herself, to see it, to be seen, to see and not to see, to see nothing, to see us. Universal necessity, it seems making reference to the gradual reduction of the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Thus, the concern with the health, that capture the attention of a woman, appears when the imagination, overloaded of images and affections, gives up. Between the ideal and the invisible Real, it remains the health, this full hiatus of dreams and fears, where is under tension, desire and mystery. Between exuberant conflicts that had involved the representation of the foetus body, the regression, source of disorganization of the Ego, presented itself as the source of transformation. When the psychms return to its bases, a moment of deep creation is reborn. When claiming the regression as the origin of the figurability, Freud presents its creative and constructive aspect; while in Winnicott the creativity lay down in the possibility of return to the state of primary not-integration, according to Gurfinkel, precursor of the Inform Concept.

In order to achieve this goal, we analyzed the set of scholastic attitudes present in the Academia de Comércio Saldanha , which was founded by the anarchist João Penteado, trying to recognize some continuity in the remaining of this experiment, between the years of 1920 and 1945. The temporal selection is justified by the encompassing period of intense debate about education issues in Brazil. To this analysis, we utilized the school journals, João Penteado s manuscripts and the scholastic administrative documentation which are current located at the Centro de Memória da Escola da Universidade de São Paulo (Memorial Center of the São Paulo University s School). We tried to link the anarchist proposal continuity to the resistance forms present in the liberating associations, understanding them as part of the ideal and culture of the anarchist period / Essa dissertação tem por objetivo demonstrar a permanência dos princípios e métodos racionalistas sobrevivendo ao fechamento das Escolas Modernas de São Paulo, estabelecendo uma discussão com a historiografia brasileira, que considera essa experiência encerrada em 1919. Para isso, analisamos o conjunto das práticas escolares presentes na Academia de Comércio Saldanha Marinho, escola fundada e dirigida pelo anarquista João Penteado, buscando reconhecer traços de continuidade dessa experiência entre os anos de 1920 e 1945. O recorte temporal se justifica por abarcar um período de intenso debate acerca das questões educacionais no Brasil. Utilizamos para essa análise, os jornais produzidos pela escola, os manuscritos de João Penteado e a documentação administrativa escolar, que se encontram no Centro de Memória da Escola da Universidade de São Paulo. Procuramos Vincular a continuidade da proposta anarquista em educação às formas de resistência que se processavam no interior das associações libertárias, entendendo-as como parte do ideário e da cultura anarquista no período
