El género de los libros de viaje tuvo en América una gran producción durante el siglo XIX. Importantes escritores de la talla de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento y José Victorino Lastarria lo cultivaron. En Chile, Diario de un viaje a California (1848-1849) de Vicente Pérez Rosales, es uno de los libros de viaje que se escribieron durante este siglo y es la obra que se investigará en este informe de seminario de grado. El viajero del siglo XIX, incluyendo al chileno, tiene una característica especial que lo diferencia de los viajeros anteriores. Mary Louise Pratt, señala que en el siglo XVIII tiene lugar el “surgimiento de una nueva versión de (...) la ‘conciencia planetaria’ de Europa, una versión caracterizada por una orientación hacia la exploración interior y la construcción de significado en escala global, a través de los aparatos descriptivos de la historia natural” (38). En Diario de un viaje a California, el narrador se construye, como explica Margarita Pierini con respecto a los viajeros del siglo XIX, en la medida en que ya no es un “simple expositor de hechos y datos” (se aleja de los aparatos descriptivos), y así “no teme detenerse en el relato de pintorescas anécdotas, que por lo general apuntan a un fin ejemplar” (177). Benedict Anderson, propone como la característica propia del hombre del siglo XIX a la “cualidad de nacionalidad” con que éste asume su participación social y su posición en el mundo. El modo en que esto afecta al viajero es problematizado en esta tesina, con respecto al texto de Vicente Pérez Rosales, de modo tal que éste aprehendería la nueva realidad a la que lo lleva su viaje (la californiana) a partir de esta característica propia del hombre del siglo XIX.

The purpose of this thesis is to establish a theological basis for an ecclesiology which takes account of the claim which the Lordship of Jesus Christ asserts over his appointed servants and the appropriate response from the Christian community corporately and from the members of the community individually. The interpretation and application of Christian discipleship by liturgical acts of the community in which the individual members participate and are prepared, trained and nourished for the purpose of equipping them for their corporate and individual task of witness is based on the promise and command of Jesus Christ recorded in Acts 1:8. The theological interpretation of the key concepts of the promise of power in the Holy Spirit and the commission to witness in the world is based on the theology of Karl Barth. Chapter I outlines the immediate context of the doctrine of vocation and the sending of the Christian community and the wider context of the doctrine of reconciliation and its place in the whole of theology. Chapters II and III enlarge on the vocation of man and the sending of the Christian community in the power of the Holy Spirit as the two parts of the doctrine of reconciliation which have particular relevance for our interpretation of the great commission. Chapter IV is devoted to a hypothesis of a special ethic based on Barth's unfinished work and Appendix A to methodological outline. Appendix B considers the practicality of this hypothesis in the light of two contemporary ecumenical interpretations and applications of the great commission. A concluding critique recognises the problems of the hypothesis and the inevitable problems that arise from any attempt to formulate a system or to define in precise categories the unique event of God's free and gracious love poured out and given to us in his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

"We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and folly to Gentiles". In so writing, St. Paul stated in its briefest form the scandal of the Christian faith. To human reason it is nonsense to suppose that a man who grew up and lived like other men, and who ultimately died on a cross, could at the same time be the Son of God, equal to God, eternal like God, and Creator of the world with Him. Contrary to the painfully-evolved and carefully formulated conclusion reached by philosophers, that God is one, and diametrically opposed to the monotheistic divine revelation given to Israel, the belief that Jesus was Son of God and equal to His Father seemed; when it was first postulated, to imply some kind of flaw in the indivisibility of God. Men were being asked to believe that they could see God incarnate, that is, in a being of flesh and blood. Yet all our faith hovers around this precise point.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968), the American Cistercian, wrote numerous books and essays on spirituality, including both Christian and Eastern forms of mysticism, and such social concerns as racial injustice, the war in Vietnam, and the depersonalizing tendencies within a technical society. From his position of contemplative withdrawal he spoke a prophetic word to the world in which he lived, recognizing that his monastic, and eventually his eremitic life, was not so much a withdrawal from the world as it was his own place in the world. He provides, therefore, a living example of the close interrelationship between contemplation and action. Morton understood withdrawal to be movement away from the superficial and false attitudes one has of the world and of one's own self, Withdrawal is, for him, a movement away from the sharp distinction between subject and object, and a movement toward the understanding that God is the ground of all being and that all contingent beings, rooted in Him, are united. Withdrawal is the necessary prelude to effective social action, since withdrawal opens one to the truth of man's solidarity in God, who is ultimate Reality, and therefore provides the true basis for moral action. For Morton, moral theology is dependent upon ascetical theology. The closer one is to God, the closer one is to all of God's creation. Paul Tillich, too, saw the necessity for withdrawal, for an immediate apprehension of God, and for social action. Hence, it is not surprising that Tillich and Merton have numerous points of affinity. In fact, Tillich's theology can be interpreted as a theoretical statement of Merton's experience. Tillich's use of ontological language, especially his distinction between essence and existence, provides a methodical approach to the theology behind Merton's mysticism and social ethic. The purpose for withdrawal is to allow essence to become known under the conditions of existence, and one essence is know - how ever fragmentarily - it enriches existence for all, not only for the one who has experienced essentialization. Hence, even the mysticism of a hermit has an indirect effect on the entire world, and, in the case of Marton himself, a direct and explicit effect. Tillich, therefore, helps to explain Merton, and Merton's life-long attempt to balance the poles of individuality and participation provides an experiential example of Tillich's system.

Este estudo propõe a análise da permanência do gaúcho como portador de uma identidade regional e cultural em nossos dias. O estereótipo, que teve origem nas fronteiras da história do Rio da Prata, segue um desenvolvimento muito peculiar no Rio Grande do Sul. Como no caso argentino, com Ricardo Güiraldes e seu Don Segundo Sombra, a literatura dos escritores regionais e tradicionalistas do sul do Brasil, entre eles, Barbosa Lessa, perpetuou o gênero que se iniciara com a gauchesca do século XIX.O tipo muito particular de tradução cultural – a “transcriação” – que os escritores fizeram sobre a figura do gaúcho em suas obras auxiliou toda uma geração a significar sua identidade. Assim, a literatura, longe de manter símbolos de uma velha tradição, desenvolveu-a como uma nova forma de resistência de uma cultura regional no mundo globalizado.

Esta tese investiga a presença do humor e a melancolia na obra poética de Manuel Bandeira (1886-1968), especialmente no livro Libertinagem (1930), como traços formadores de uma identidade nacional. O trabalho tem como ponto de partida as discussões sobre a identidade nacional e a presença do tema na literatura brasileira, dos seus primórdios até a eclosão, no início do século XX, do projeto modernista de construir a difícil definição do que é ser brasileiro. Entre os diversos autores consultados para fundamentação dos estudos sobre identidade nacional, destaca-se Gilberto Freyre, cuja obra Casa Grande & Senzala permite estabelecer relações com a visão de Brasil que emerge da poesia de Manuel Bandeira. Sergio Buarque de Holanda, Wilson Martins, Antônio Cândido, Alfredo Bosi, Roberto DaMatta e Paulo Prado são importantes no desenvolvimento da questão. Examina-se também como a questão da identidade nacional está representada na literatura brasileira, da Carta de Pero Vaz de Caminha até o movimento modernista. Para analisar os temas do riso e da melancolia em obras literárias produzidas no Brasil, toma-se como fundamento as teorias desenvolvidas por Aristóteles, Bergson, Propp, Schlegel, Freud, Muecke, Prada e Bakhtin, entre outros. Por fim, é realizada uma análise detalhada de poemas selecionados, destacando a existência de uma “ironia melancólica” que caracteriza a obra de Bandeira e, ao mesmo tempo, confere-lhe um toque de brasilidade, buscado pelos poetas do Modernismo e inequivocamente presente na obra Libertinagem e em outras compostas antes e depois dela. / This thesis examines the presence of humour and melancholy as markers of the formation of a national identity in the poetical works of Manuel Bandeira (1886-1968), with special focus on his Libertinagem (1930). The starting point for this study is the discussion around national identity and its presence as a theme in Brazilian literature, from its very beginnings until the Modernist movement in the first quarter of the 20th century, with its difficult project of constructing a definition of what it means to be Brazilian. Among the authors consulted to form the basis of the discussion of national identity are Gilberto Freyre, whose Casa Grande & Senzala offers fundamental insights into the vision of Brazil that emerges in the poetry of Manuel Bandeira. Sergio Buarque de Holanda, Wilson Martins, Antônio Cândido, Alfredo Bosi, Roberto DaMatta and Paulo Prado are also important in the development of this aspect of the discussion. The study also examines the manner in which the question of national identity is represented in literature written in and about Brazil, from the Carta ao Rei Dom Manuel of Pero Vaz de Caminha until the Modernist movement. The analysis of the themes of laughter and melancholy in works of literature produced in Brazil is based on the theories developed by Aristotle, Bergson, Propp, Schlegel, Freud, Muecke, Prada and Bakhtin, among others. Finally, a detailed analysis is undertaken of the selected poems, highlighting the presence of a “melancholic irony” that characterises the work of Bandeira and, at the same time, provides it with a touch of the Brazilian-ness so sought by the Modernist poets and unquestionably present in Libertinagem, as well as other works composed before and after it.

Defesa :11/04/2016 / Inclui referências : f.71-79 / Resumo: Eugênio Gudin pode ser considerado o decano dos economistas brasileiros. Apesar de graduado em engenharia, a partir de meados da década de 1930, ele passou a estudar e dirigir os seus esforços para o estabelecimento da ciência econômica no Brasil. Um dos maiores resultados de seu esforço foi a publicação, em 1943, do primeiro livro-texto de economia escrito por um brasileiro, o Princípios de Economia Monetária. O livro e suas sucessivas edições revelam um esforço constante de atualização do economista autodidata brasileiro em vários temas, mas com especial atenção, é claro, em relação à macroeconomia e à economia monetária. Dentro disso, Keynes ganha especial destaque, principalmente porque Gudin está entre os primeiros brasileiros a transmitir e, ao mesmo tempo, fazer uma leitura mais meticulosa do importante autor britânico. Sendo assim, nosso intuito é analisar como se deu a transmissão das ideias de Keynes para o Brasil através da obra de Eugênio Gudin. Perguntamo-nos como Gudin foi se atualizando e compreendendo as teorias que emergiam durante a revolução keynesiana. Para tal, apoiamos nosso trabalho no modelo da teoria da informação voltado à transmissão do pensamento econômico, desenvolvido por Joseph Spengler e aprimorado por Uskali Mäki. Nosso estudo mostra que as disputas intelectuais desencadeadas pelo livro seminal de Keynes, A Teoria Geral do Emprego, do Juro e da Moeda, foram difundidas na academia brasileira somente através da terceira edição do livro de Gudin, publicada em 1952. Verifica-se também que a vertente keynesiana à qual Gudin subscreve na obra é a mesma que por tanto tempo dominou quase por completo a macroeconomia internacional, qual seja, o cânone IS-LM/Hicks-Hansen, pilar da economia keynesiana. / Abstract: Eugênio Gudin might be considered the dean of Brazilian economists. Despite the fact that he graduated in engineering, from the mid-1930s onwards, his efforts were directed towards the establishment of economics in the Brazilian academia. Among his many accomplishments there is the publication of the first economics textbook authored by a Brazilian in 1943. The book is called Principles of Monetary Economics. The successive editions of the book reveal a constant effort on the part of Gudin towards a gradual incorporation of the edge of economic knowledge in his work. Regarding that, his special concerns were macroeconomics and monetary economics. Within this effort, Gudin paid special attention to the unfolding of Keynes' economics, and he was the first Brazilian to transmit Keynes's and Keynesian ideas in Brazil. Given that, our goal is to analyse how the transmission of Keynes' ideas into Brazil was undertaken through the works of Eugênio Gudin. We ask ourselves how Gudin gradually updated himself and understood the theories arising from the Keynesian Revolution. For this purpose, we base our research on the information theory model developed by Joseph Spengler and improved by Uskali Mäki. Our study shows that the intellectual disputes triggered by Keynes' seminal book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, were diffused into the Brazilian academy only in the third edition of Gudin's book, published in 1952. The Keynesian approach to which Gudin subscribes in it is the same that vanquished international macroeconomics, i.e., the IS-LM/Hicks-Hansen canon, pillar of the Keynesian economics.
