From introduction: In the following essay an emphasis has been placed on manipulated photographic images. Although this implies a whole variety of ways in which these images can be manipulated e.g. in collage, silkscreen etc., the emphasis here is on images that have a fabricated or deliberate manipulation of subject matter to make up the photograph.

In this study I have tried to show what Tyamzashe has achieved without the solid musical training any composer worthy of the name should undergo. I have also tried to show the forming of his own musical style under the impact of outside influences. This study is therefore not to teach one anything new, but simply to communicate the results of three years research. In it I have attempted to set the scene in which Tyamzashe's life unfolded itself under the influences of people and circumstances. In doing so I have tried to bear in mind the main theme - Tyamzashe himself. My problem was not so much what to include but what to leave out; thus I have not provided the scene with a detailed background. The section on missionary contact is necessary for an understanding of the great changes brought about by culture contact, as well as for putting Tyamzashe into his historical background. I have also stressed Lovedale because musical change as exemplified in the music of early Bantu converts was centralized there. Finally, the thesis of this study is: despite the changes introduced into Bantu music by culture contact, one perceives, in the works of Tyamzashe, the beginnings of a new pattern of integration. p. 2-3.

La tradition de l'humour et du rire voyage dans le temps et dans l'espace du maintenant et toujours, dans un jeu clair des relectures et des révisions de ses formes et expressions, dont la historicité se dirige en ce qui concerne à sa appréciation littéraire et à son marginalité esthétique. Ces parcours marginales sont le centre de l'étude par la définition d'une culture de l'humour et le rire dans la littérature brésilienne. Nous considérons que l'humour et le rire dans la poésie établissent des relations avec les traditions littéraires les plus diverses. Ici, la tradition de l'humour et du rire peut être configurée, dans l'acte de la création littéraire, un double mouvement: le premier, il doit exprimer la position antinormative, dans quel l'intervention / participation du poete dans la société si marques par des procédures appropriées même de comique, du rire, de l'humour, de la parodie, de l'ironie; le second mouvement si caractérise pour la reappropriation du quotidien ou du passé, visant à la critique de valeurs, en travers du éloignement ou de la adhérence extrême. Le vérification implique le questionament de l'endroit littéraire d'où il émane le rire brésilien, l'endroit qui ces auteurs et oeuvres occupent dans l'intérieur de cette tradition, l'endroit où le critique place tels auteurs et oeuvres, et, en conclusion, qu’est-ce qui constitue cet endroit. Les questions sont dévoilés dans l'étude analytique actuelle sur le rire de moderniste, vu les oeuvres du Pau-Brasil, d'Oswald de ANDRADE et d'História do Brasil, de Murilo MENDES, dans une période ou le rire moderniste ne peut pas faire écho de la même manière, ni du même endroit, ce qui il modifierait les résultats pour la constitution de poétique du rire. Pour au delà de la poétique du rire, ils convenir à demander sur les implications résultantes du choix et de la option des poètes en marchant les sources littéraires d'expression du rire, ideologiquement marquées pour une conception de l'écriture qui attache la poésie et l'éthique. / A tradição do humor e do riso viaja no tempo e no espaço do agora e sempre, num jogo nítido de releituras e revisões de suas formas e expressões, cuja historicidade aponta para a sua apreciação literária e para a sua marginalidade estética. Esses percursos marginais são o foco de estudo para a definição de uma cultura do humor e do riso na literatura brasileira. Consideramos que o humor e o riso na poesia estabelecem relações com as mais variadas tradições literárias. Aqui, a tradição do humor e do riso pode configurar, no ato da criação literária, um duplo movimento: o primeiro, deve expressar a postura antinormativa, na qual a intervenção / participação do poeta na sociedade se faça através de procedimentos próprios do cômico, do riso, do humor, da paródia, da ironia; o segundo movimento se caracteriza pela reapropriação do cotidiano ou do passado, visando à crítica de valores, através do distanciamento ou da extrema aderência. A constatação implica o questionamento do lugar literário de onde emana o riso brasileiro, o lugar que essas obras e autores ocupam dentro dessa tradição, o lugar em que a crítica coloca tais autores e obras, e, por último, o que constitui esse lugar. As problematizações desdobram-se no presente estudo analítico sobre o riso modernista, considerando as obras Pau-Brasil, de Oswald de ANDRADE e História do Brasil, de Murilo MENDES, uma vez que o riso modernista pode não ecoar da mesma forma, nem do mesmo lugar, o que alteraria os resultados para a constituição de uma poética do riso. Para além da poética do riso, convém perguntar sobre as implicações resultantes da escolha e da opção dos poetas em trilhar as vertentes literárias de expressão do riso, ideologicamente marcadas por uma concepção de escrita que vincula poesia e ética. / The tradition of the humor and the laugh travels in the time and the space of now and forever, in a clear game of readings and revisions of its forms and expressions, whose historicity points to its literary appreciation and its aesthetic marginality. These marginal ways are the focus of study for the definition of a culture of the humor and the laugh in Brazilian literature. We consider that humor and laugh in the poetry establish relations with the most diverse literary traditions. Here, the tradition of the humor and the laugh can form, in the act of the literary creation, a double movement: the first one, must express the antinormative position, in which the intervention/ participation of the poet in the society happens through procedures proper of the comic, of the laugh, of the humor, of the parody, of the irony; the second one, characterizes itself by the reappropriation of the present quotidian or from the past, aiming at the critic of values, through the displacement or the extreme adherence. The research implies the questioning of the literary place from where emanates the Brazilian laugh, the place that these works and authors occupy inside of this tradition, the place where the critic places such authors and their works, and, finally, what constitutes this place. The questions are unfolded in the this analytical study on the modernistic laugh, considering the Pau-Brasil, of Oswald de ANDRADE and História do Brasil, of Murilo MENDES, a time that the modernist laugh can not echo in the same way, nor in the same place, so that it would modify the results for the constitution of a poetical of the laugh. Beyond the poetical of the laugh, its worth to ask about resultant implications of the choice and the option of the poets in treading the literary sources of expression of the laugh, ideologically marked by a conception of writing that ties poetry and ethics.

The aim of this paper "BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ - COMPOSER - VIOLINIST" is to explore the violinconcertos and chamber music violin parts, composed by this 20th century genius. His symphonies, operas, chorals and dramatic compositions are merely mentioned. Their list is not complete, as their analysis is not the aim of this paper. Detailed attention is given to Martinů´s violin compositions, how these relate chronologically to events in his life and correspond with the composer´s biografy. Exploring Martinů´s violin compositions from the composer - violinist's point of view constitutes a rewarding perspective for examining Martinů´s legacy. Purposively chosen works are analysed, with regards to their individual components and samples of scores. The violin compositions are listed in Chapter 9, subsection 9.1 on Page 130, enabling an easier search of titles. This work provides a deeper insight into a specific section of the works of Bohuslav Martinů, offering researchers, professional musicians and lay readers alike some important information concerning one part of Martinů´s extensive work.

The aim of this study is to provide an artistic view of the song cykle by Bohuslav Martinu´s Three Chansons for the Red Seven" and the Red Seven " and the song Vítězslava Kaprálová´s "Goodbye and farewell". In my work, I summarise the analytical opinion with musical and practical attitude and provide an artistic view to these vocel settings, which often remain neglected by both, artists and musicologists. I grasp the work from perspective of the artist, who is trying to capture the most authentic concept of the vocal compositions by studying compositional and personal styles of the authors in order to come to a conclusion of their imaginative interpretation as closely as possible to.

The following thesis is working on the string quartets by Bohuslav Martinů. The Autor focuses on ?Zero?, The First ?French?, 2nd, 4th and 5th String quartet and on Concerto for string quartet with orchestra.

The doctoral thesis called "Five Plays of Karel Čapek:Primary Research" deals with drama works of one of the most outstanding and extraordinary personalities in the Czech theatre and culture. So why "primary research"? Because something like that is badly missing in his context - and therefore the interpratation of his work has been influenced by various interventions during its existence : above all the interrupted staging tradition, biased, and thus incomplete, perception by literary theorists, ignoring or simplifying by theatre theorists and even practitoners.

Nosso objetivo foi compreender como Guilherme de Almeida se apropria do material presente na tradição peninsular, fazendo vir à tona uma série de elementos que são visivelmente medievais em textos produzidos em pleno século XX. Embasados nos conceitos da Teoria da Residualidade (PONTES, 1999), analisamos a obra do poeta, a fim de clarificar a posição da sua lírica no Modernismo brasileiro. Abrimos, ainda, espaço neste estudo para discutir a natureza do romance oral da tradição do medievo, a fim de ampliar nosso entendimento acerca deste modo poemático. Isto feito, procedemos à análise de Pequeno romanceiro, livro em que há remanescência de uma lírica e de um modo de viver, de pensar e de agir mediévicos. A análise dessa obra fez-se a partir de romanceiros da tradição, compilados por Almeida Garrett, Teófilo Braga, Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos, Menéndez Pidal e Antônio Lopes. / Cette recherche vise à étudier dans Pequeno romanceiro (1957), par Guilherme de Almeida, les residus du roman oral de la tradition orale mediévale, genre typique du Moyen Âge européen, répandu dans la Péninsule Ibérique, passé à la culture brésilienne travers l’hybridation culturelle originaire de cette région (DIAS; REIS, 1998). Nous avons l’intention, donc, de comprendre comment Guilherme de Almeida prend la matiére presente dans la tradition péninsulaire pour faire venir à l’avant un certain nombre d’élements qui sont visiblement médiéveux dans les textes produits au XXe siècle. Fondés sur les notions de la Théorie de la Residualité (PONTES, 1999), nous analyserons l’ouvre du poete pour observer la relation de sa production lyrique avec le Modernisme brésilien. Nous consacrons également un espace dans notre étude d’argumenter sur la nature de la tradition orale du roman medieval, pour élargir notre compréhension sur ce type de poéme; ensuite, nous procéderons à l’analyse de Pequeno romanceiro, livre dans lequel il y a des résidus d’une lyrique et d’un mode de vie, de penser et d’agir du Moyen Âge. Nous ferons l’analyse du Pequeno romanceiro à l’aide des romanceros de la tradition, compilés par Almeida Garrett, Teófilo Braga, Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos, Menéndez Pidal e Antônio Lopes, par example.

The objective of this thesis is to present the life and work of Josef Bok, a Czech flutist from the first half of the 20th century. It brings information on his artistic development and on people who influenced his professional growth, it speaks about his time in Russia in the historical context, and last but not least it deals with his pedagogical activities at music schools in Brno and Prague. It also presents ?Škola hry na flétnu? (Flute Practice Book), a musical-didactic work written by J. Bok in cooperation with Rudolf Černý. The thesis tries to analyze this publication and compare it with the contemporary way of playing the flute. It marginally touches Bok?s role as a composer and a piano player. The significance of Josef Bok is evaluated through subjective observations and memories of other flute players and family members in the conclusion.
