In the novel, French society is satirically represented by a group of penguins metamorphosed into men after having being mistakenly baptized by the old apostle Mael, who mistook the birds for short men. The novel is divided into eight sections called books, in order to make them look like the sacred books. The sixth book is about the Dreyfus Case (1894-1906), a case of espionage known as one of the greatest judicial errors of modern history. Capitan Alfred Dreyfus, accused of having handed in military secrets belonging to the French artillery army to the German army, was arrested and deported to the Devil s Island, where he stayed for five years, until his process was reviewed and the real spy was found out. In L Île des pingouins, the Dreyfus Case is represented in a parodical way by the Pyrot Case, in which a penguin official is unfairly accused of having handed in eighty thousand bales of hay to the porpoise enemy army. Through laughter, the reader realizes the narrator s disenchantment: the presentation of the characters as caricatures, the satire in relation to history and the positive method shows, however, a pessimistic view of the origin of the universe, of mankind and its history. Therefore, the objectives of this thesis are: i) to verify how the Dreyfus Case is recovered in Book VI of the novel, whose title is Modern Times - The Case of the Eighty Thousand Bales of Hay, by studying the effects of the usage of parody, hyperbole, and caricature in order to satirize historical figures, social institutions (such as the Church, the army, the government) and even the end of the Case; ii) to analyze the means used by the novelist to give his critical rereading of history an aesthetic feature, by examining how the writer gives literariness to historical facts, transforming them into parts of his novel.

Автор представляемого исследования изучает одно из самых значимых произведений Вилла-Лобоса – 16 Cirandas (Сирандас). Он предлагает анализ и различные интерпретационные концепции каждой музыкальной пьесы цикла. При поиске принципов, которые лежат в основе семантики и синтаксиса музыкального произведения, автор опирался в своем анализе на выдающиеся работы Б. Асафьева «Теория интонации» и «Музыкальная форма как процесс», критически представленные в этом исследовании в контексте других созданных в 20 веке музыкальных теорий. В анализе каждой из музыкальных пьес, называемом в работе «Интонационный анализ», как единый комплекс рассматривались следующие элементы: структурирование музыкального материала; звуковой поток в единицу времени в свете теории энергетики искусства Асафьева, импульсы музыкального движения, музыкальное движение, функции синхронных и последовательных звуковых элементов и их сочетаний; присущие музыкальной структуре семантические и синтаксические аспекты; пианистический язык Вилла-Лобоса; такие вопросы исполнительского искусства как аппликатура, туше, движения рук и плеч. Музыкальное исполнение, с точки зрения «Теории интонации», понимается как интонирование музыкального произведения, таким образом, звуковое воплощение происходит в руках и голосе интерпретатора, который передает свое психологическое/ интеллектуальное/эмоциональное/смысловое состояние в данном историческом и культурном контексте. В соответствии с пониманием Б. Асафьева, музыка – это «искусство интонируемого смысла». Вилла-Лобос, будучи неотъемлемой частью своего времени, интонирует в Сирандас культурные универсалии через исторически кристаллизованные интонации бразильского социального сознания. / Este trabalho investiga parte significativa da obra para piano de Villa-Lobos, as 16 Cirandas, com objetivo de apresentar concepções analíticas e interpretativas para a execução de cada uma das peças. Partindo da busca por um conhecimento que abordasse as questões semânticas e sintáticas, expressas no ato da execução musical, foram adotados, para as análises, os trabalhos de B. Asafiev, Teoria da Entonação e Forma Musical como Processo apresentados e contextualizados frente às teorias analíticas do século XX. Em cada concepção analítica das peças, neste trabalho, com o título de análises entonacionais, os itens a seguir foram tratados: a estruturação do material musical; o fluxo sonoro no tempo manifestado por intermédio dos conceitos “asafianos” de energia, impulso ao movimento musical, movimento musical e seu término, funções dos elementos e conjuntos sonoros simultâneos e sucessivos; os aspectos semânticos e sintáticos, imanentes e emanantes das estruturas musicais; a linguagem pianística de Villa-Lobos; aspectos do processo de execução, como dedilhados, movimentos de dedos, mãos e braços. Integrada à Teoria da Entonação, a execução musical é entendida como entonação de uma obra musical, ou seja, manifestação sonora originada das mãos e voz dos intérpretes, que comunica seu estado psicológico intelectual/emocional/semântico em um contexto cultural e histórico. Por sua vez, a música é entendida por Asafiev como “a arte do sentido entonado”. Conectado à sua contemporaneidade, Villa-Lobos entoa, nas Cirandas, um universo cultural por meio de entonações historicamente cristalizadas no consciente social brasileiro. / This work investigates a substantial part of Villa-Lobos’ work for piano, the 16 Cirandas. It proposes analytical and interpretive conceptions to the performance of each musical piece. Searching for principles that would encompass the semantics and syntax expressed in the act of musical performance, B. Asafiev’s Intonation Theory and Musical Form as Process was used as the basis for analysis, being presented and contextualized with the analytical theories of the 20th century. In each analytical conception of the pieces, entitled here as intonation analyses, the following items were treated as a complex: structuring of the musical material; sound flow within time manifested through the Asafie’s concepts of energy, impulse to the musical movement, musical movement and its conclusion; functions of simultaneous and successive sound elements and sets; semantic and syntactic aspects immanent and emanating of musical structures; pianistic language of Villa-Lobos; aspects of the performing process such as fingering, finger, hand and arm movements. Musical performance, integrated to the Theory of Intonation, is understood as intonation of a work of music, thus, manifestation of sound originated in the hands and voice of the interpreters, which communicates their psychological/intellectual/emotional/semantic state in a historical and cultural context. According to Asafiev’s understanding, music is the “art of intoned meaning”. Villa-Lobos, in touch with his contemporaneity, intones in his Cirandas a cultural universe through historically crystallized intonations of the Brazilian social consciousness.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a importância social das formas estéticas abordadas pelos romances modernos de autoria dos artistas que formaram o grupo Orpheu, responsável pelo primeiro modernismo em Portugal. O corpus de análise é formado pelas obras A engomadeira, publicada em 1917, por José de Almada Negreiros; A confissão de Lúcio, publicada em 1914, por Mário de Sá-Carneiro; e Livro do desassossego, publicação póstuma com autoria de Fernando Pessoa. Para isso, são adotadas diversas teorias que vinculam o romance à sociedade, com uma atenção maior para Ascensão do romance, de Ian Watt. De acordo com ele, os elementos que caracterizaram o romance tradicional nos séculos XVIII e XIX são signos materiais que respondem ao processo de consolidação da classe burguesa. Dessa maneira, os textos analisados procuram a ruptura dos elementos apontados por Watt, o que revela uma atitude política de subversão dos signos burgueses no momento em que eles passam a estar em declínio no contexto europeu, com exceção de Portugal. Configura-se, portanto, como uma intervenção política a atitude desses três artistas. / This paper aims to analyze the social importance of aesthetic forms approached in modern novels by artists who formed the Orpheu group, which was responsible for the first modernism movement in Portugal. The corpus of analysis of this work is composed by the literary works The ironing girl (A engomadeira), published in 1917 by José de Almada Negreiros; Lucio’s confession (A confissão de Lúcio), published in 1914 by Mário de Sá-Carneiro; and The book of disquiet (Livro do desassossego), a posthumous publication authored by Fernando Pessoa. For this purpose, several theories that link novel to society are adopted, giving greater attention to The rise of the novel, by Ian Watt. According to this author, the elements that characterized the traditional novel in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries are material signs that respond to the process of consolidation of the bourgeois class. Therefore, the analyzed texts seek to break the elements mentioned by Watt, which reveal an attitude of subversion of bourgeois signs when they start to decline in the European context, with the exception of Portugal. Thus, the novels of these three artists are characterized as a political intervention.

Na primeira parte da tese, ¿Traçando o percurso: em terra sonâmbula¿, em que analisamos o romance Terra Sonâmbula, de Mia Couto, duas estratégias de interpretação adquirem destaque: 1) a que enfatiza a busca de traços de oralidade no texto, sugerindo-se que o intertexto com a oralidade determina a estrutura romanesca, sendo a camada dos contos e provérbios decisiva; 2) a que interpreta as estratégias de composição do romance à luz dos desafios que um evento de violência radical, como a guerra civil moçambicana, impõe à narrativa. O recuo teórico, que é empreendido na segunda parte, ¿Desfazendo o traçado: recuo teórico¿, investiga alguns dos pressupostos destas duas estratégias analítico-interpretativas. No capítulo ¿A palavra justa¿, primeiro capítulo da segunda parte, tratamos especialmente do instrumental analítico desenvolvido pelos estudos do discurso testemunhal (com destaque para as teóricas Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin e Shoshana Felman) e pelos estudos pós-coloniais (com destaque para Edward Said, Arlindo Barbeitos e Mudimbe). Nosso foco está na imbricação de estratégias discursivas e posicionamentos ético-políticos, eixo das teorizações dos dois campos teóricos abordados. No segundo capítulo desta segunda parte, intitulado ¿A escrita culpada¿, apresentamos o estudo da dicotomia escrita/oralidade, remontando a Jean-Jacques Rousseau e perpassando teóricos bastante demandados no âmbito dos estudos de traços de oralidade nas literaturas africanas: Vladímir Propp, Walter Benjamin e Paul Zumthor. Nosso interesse é explicitar certas associações (como liberdade, alegria e oralidade versus impedimento, solidão e escrita) e pressupostos (como a linearidade histórica e o condicionamento econômico e/ou de mídia) muitas vezes implicados na reposição desta dicotomia em âmbito dos estudos das literaturas africanas, como também sugerir convergências e divergências nas formulações dos pensadores estudados. A parte final do trabalho (¿Furtivo traçado, algumas considerações finais¿) é dedicada às considerações conclusivas, que relacionam as partes anteriores e incluem uma nova abordagem do romance. De certa forma, a estrutura da tese reflete nosso percurso investigativo, que foi da obra coutiana à investigação teórica, a partir de aspectos de sua fortuna crítica / Abstract: This dissertation is dedicated to the study of some theoretical presuppositions underlying the critical readings of the so-called African Literature of Portuguese Language. In the first part of the dissertation, "Tracing the Path: in Terra Sonâmbula", in which we analyze the book Terra Sonâmbula (Sleepwalking Land), by Mia Couto, two main interpretative strategies are revealed: 1) the one that searches for traces of orality in the text, and suggests that the intertext with orality determines its Romanesque structure ¿ to which the short stories and proverbs are decisive; 2) the one that analyses the novel¿s compositional structures in search of the challenges that a radical event of violence, for example the civil war in Mozambique, imposes to the narrative. The theoretical retreat, which is undertaken in the second part, "Undoing the Path: Theoretical Retreat", investigates some of the suppositions of these two strategies of analysis and interpretation. In the chapter "The Fair Word", first chapter of the second part, we focus on the analytical instruments developed by the studies of testimonial discourses (especially Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin and Shoshana Felman) and the post-colonial discourses (especially Edward Said, Arlindo Barbeitos and Mudimbe). Our focus is on the imbrication between discursive strategies and ethical-political positionings, which form the theoretical core of the two fields approached. In the second chapter of the second part, titled ¿The Guilty Writing¿, we present the study of the dichotomy between writing and orality, remounting to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and perpassing some acclaimed theoreticians of the study of orality traces in African Literature: Vladímir Propp, Walter Benjamin and Paul Zumthor. Our interest is to make explicit certain associations (like freedom, joy and orality versus impediment, solitude and writing) and presuppositions (like the historical linearity and the economical conditioning and/or midia) many times implicated in the repositioning of this dichotomy in the field of African Literature Studies, as well as suggest some convergencies and divergencies in the formulations of these thinkers. The final part of the work (Furtive Writing: Some Final Considerations) is dedicated to conclusive considerations, which relate the previous parts and include a new approach to the novel. Somehow, the structure of the dissertation reflects our investigative path, which went from the Couto's novel to the theoretical investigation of its critical fortune / Mestrado / Literatura Brasileira / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

[Preface] The broad outlines of Cape frontier historiography have so far been sketched from a study of official despatches and, to a lesser extent, of contemporary newspapers. There are many lacunae to be filled and many questions to be answered; here, it is evident that private papers have an indispensable role to play. Yet, despite isolated attempts to collect or index such papers, (such as that of Miss Una Long, in her Index to Unofficial, Privately-Owned Manuscripts relating to the history of South Africa), much untapped material still remains in private possession both in South Africa and overseas. In this study of a leading Eastern Province personality, prominence has been given to this type of material, and much of what has been used, has clearly not previoualy been examined by historians.

A hipótese do trabalho é a de que a enunciação nietzscheana é um acontecimento na história da reflexão sobre a linguagem. Compreende-se o acontecimento, tal como o define Eduardo Guimarães, ou seja, não enquanto um fato no tempo, mas como aquilo que produz diferença em sua própria ordem. Tomada como acontecimento, a enunciação nietzscheana instaura sua própria diferença, e nela consideramos duas temporalidades distintas: por um lado, a que produz a filiação de Edward Sapir a Nietzsche, e que recorta Wilhelm von Humboldt como memorável; por outro, a que produz a filiação de Michel Pêcheux e Eni Orlandi a Nietzsche. A possibilidade de pensar as temporalidades em sua equivocidade demonstra que há um caminho na reflexão sobre a linguagem a ser trilhado nas sendas de um materialismo trágico ¿ a consideração de que a determinação histórica não é fruto de um processo maquínico, motorizado, mas que há algo do acaso que comparece, e que, nesse acaso, intervalo entre o equívoco e a linguagem, há ainda um espaço para a arte, para a criação, para r-existir ao sedentarismo dos sentidos / Abstract: From the perspective of the History of the Linguistic Ideas, this thesis investigates the affiliations to Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche in Language Sciences. The hypothesis of this work is that Nietzsche's enunciation is an event in the history of the reflection on language. We understand the event, as defined by Eduardo Guimarães, i.e., not as a fact in time, but as something that produces a difference in its own order. Taken as an event, Nietzsche¿s enunciation establishes its own difference, and in it we consider two different time frames: on the one hand, the one that produces Edward Sapir¿s affiliation to Nietzsche, and that highlithts Wilhelm von Humboldt as memorable; on the other hand, the one that produces Pêcheux and Eni Orlandi¿s affiliation to Nietzsche. The possibility of thinking temporalities in its own equivocity demonstrates that there is a path in the reflection on language to be taken in the paths of a tragic materialism - the consideration that the historical determination is not a result of a machine and motorized process, but that there is something from chance that appears, and that, in that chance, an interval between the misunderstanding and the language, there is still a space for art, for creation, to resist to the sedentary senses / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutora em Linguística

When Czech composer Bedřich Smetana's opera The Bartered Bride received its American premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in February 1909, New York music critics published positive reviews which displayed a great fascination with the many "Bohemian" aspects of the production. However, certain comments or language used by some critics indicate that American opinions of the Czech people were less than positive. After Czechs began immigrating to America en masse in 1848, already-established American citizens developed skewed cultural perceptions of the Czech people, established negative stereotypes, and propagated their opinions in various forms of press throughout the nation. Despite a general dislike of the Czechs, reviewers revered The Bartered Bride and praised its many authentic "Bohemian" qualities. This research explores the idea of a paradoxical cultural phenomenon in which the prejudice against Czech people did not fully cross over into the musical sphere. Instead, appreciation for Czech music and musicians may have trumped any such negative opinions and authentic Czech productions such as The Bartered Bride may have been considered a novelty in the eyes of early twentieth-century New Yorkers.

Strategic upheavals, such as the emergence or disappearance of geopolitical threats or radical technological changes, generate profound uncertainty and intense debate about a state’s future strategy. How do decisionmakers reexamine and revise strategy amidst these upheavals? Existing theories of strategic change recognize the significance of upheavals, but raise questions about the mechanisms by which decisionmakers embrace or discard new ideas about strategy. contend that understanding strategic change requires attention to narratives––stories about the past and present of international politics that suggest legitimate pathways for future action. I develop a theory of narrative emergence, positing that after upheavals, national security elites compete to mobilize support for their vision of future policy. They use public and private debates to legitimate their positions and build domestic coalitions. I identify four rhetorical strategies––persuasion, rhetorical coercion, co-optation, and transgression––that have different effects in mobilizing or demobilizing coalitions. If one coalition builds cross-cutting support, this can entrench their rhetoric in public discourse over time as part of a dominant narrative that shapes subsequent strategy debates through constraining and enabling effects. I evaluate this theory in the context of two cases of strategic upheaval in the United States, focusing on the puzzles of U.S. nuclear strategy: the arrival of the atomic age and the achievement of strategic parity between the U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. In the first case, I use qualitative and text analysis to track the rise of a dominant narrative about nuclear weapons during the early Cold War. In this contradictory narrative which I label “Waging Deterrence,” the bomb was both an unusable, revolutionary deterrent and an essential tool for fighting and winning the next war. I draw on archival sources to trace the emergence of this narrative during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations, showing this narrative was not predetermined, but contingent on domestic debates as speakers––Presidents, civilian advisors, military elites, and others––used rhetorical strategies in public and private to co-opt and silence opponents. This narrative constrained the possibilities for strategic revision during the later Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. In the second case, parity’s mutual vulnerability upended this narrative; narratives remained unsettled until the Carter administration, where domestic legitimation contests facilitated the return of Waging Deterrence to justify competitive nuclear postures that had a lasting impact on U.S. nuclear strategy. The project offers a novel mechanism to understand strategic change and highlights the discursive and domestic politics of nuclear strategy, showing that foundational U.S. deterrence concepts emerged in part from domestic legitimation contests that rendered other options illegitimate. It also offers insights into policy debates about the future of nuclear and grand strategy amidst contemporary upheavals, suggesting contested processes of narrative construction will be central to shaping future strategy.

Esta tesis presenta los puntos de vista sobre la vida, los paisajes y los territorios de Amazonía formulados por tres viajeros europeos en el Perú del siglo XIX: Giuseppe Castrucci, Gaetano Osculati y Antonio Raimondi. En este trabajo se muestra como construyeron un imaginario sobre un mundo amazónico exótico a través de la producción textual y visual de sus viajes y que cumple un rol importante la noción de lo “pintoresco”. Se trata de tres representaciones relevantes porque amplios públicos europeos conocieron la región a través sus relatos, grabados, acuarelas y mapas. No obstante, a pesar del común fondo exotista, los tres viajeros también expresaron intereses y enfoques distintos en sus aproximaciones a la Amazonía como objeto de estudio. En el caso de Castrucci, su obra se enfocó en describir a los pobladores del oriente peruano y sus costumbres, que consideraba salvajes e incivilizadas. Osculati, por su lado, se interesó en explorar locaciones nuevas y exóticas, a la vez que perseguía ser reconocido en el ámbito científico como un expedicionario nacionalista. Finalmente, Raimondi trató de informar al público, a las autoridades y al mundo científico sobre las potencialidad de la región oriental para impulsar el desarrollo del país. Estas tres empresas científicas ocurrieron en un contexto muy específico del siglo XIX: el creciente nacionalismo y el del trabajo científico prestigios que se fundaba en la organización de exposiciones y gabinetes, y en la formación de asociaciones y colecciones científicas. / This thesis presents Giuseppe Castrucci, Gaetano Osculati and Antonio Raimondi’s approaches to the life, landscapes, and territory of the Amazon region. They were European travelers working in Peru during the 19th Century. My research shows how they produce an imaginary about an exotic Amazonian world through their traveler’s textual and visual productions. They were relevant because of their stories, engravings, watercolors, and maps were known and praised as real portraits of Peruvian wild nature by European public. Although Castrucci, Osculati, and Raimondi share a common exotifying point of view, they also expressed different emphasis and interests on their approaches to the Amazon region as an object of inquiry. In the case of Castrucci, he focused on depicting Amazon’s peoples and customs, that he considered savage and uncivilized. Osculati, in the other hand, was interested in exploring new and exotic places pursuing scientific recognition as a nationalist expeditionary. Finally, Raimondi wanted to inform the public, authorities, and the scientific world about the Amazonian region’s potential to boost Peruvian development. These three travelers’ endeavors flourished in a very specific 19th century context: the growing nationalism that included the use of science to gain prestige through exhibitions, cabinets, scientific associations, and scientific collections.
