The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate and chronicle the career of conservative Republican Senator, Homer E. Capehart who served Indiana during the administrations of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy.While the dissertation examined the long political career of the Indiana Senator, special emphasis was placed upon Capehart's contribution as a "cold warrior" to the formation of American foreign policy from World War II to 1962.Most of the information collected on the Senate career of Capehart came from the following sources: (1) Interviews conducted with the former Senator and numerous individuals, both friend and foe, who were personally involved in Capehart's turbulent political career; (2) Correspondence conducted with several individuals who had direct knowledge of Capehart's career; (3) Many newspaper and magazine articles reporting the Senator's statements, senatorial and public performance during his three terms; (4) Books concerning political topics in which Capehart had a direct involvement; (5) The Congressional Record and the Congressional Quarterly Almanac,, recording the Senator's public statements and voting records; (6) The extensive collection of private documents and letters of the "Capehart Collection" located in the Indiana State Historical Library; and (7) Valuable information gathered from other Indiana public university libraries, especially Indiana University.The dissertation investigates Senator Capehart's contributions against the background of the Cold War. The paper is organized chronologically. Each chapter deals with a specific interval in Homer Capehart's career. The first chapter details Capehart's early life and subsequent business career. The second chapter investigates Capehart's rise to political power. The third chapter examines the early days of Capehart's Senate tenure under the Truman administration. The fourth chapter chronicles Capehart's political career during the Eisenhower years. The final chapter looks at Capehart's career during the Kennedy administration with special attention directed toward Capehart's involvement in the Cuban missile crisis and his last political campaign.Capehart, the politician businessman, was the personification of the Horatio Alger saga. The former Senator, who was born into a poor Southern Indiana rural environment, had amassed a personal fortune in the jukebox business by his 40th birthday. Politically, life began at 40 for Capehart who then directed his talents and tremendous energy toward establishing a powerful political base from which he eventually secured a seat in the United States Senate.Capehart went to Franklin Roosevelt's Washington as a businessman, and as a vociferous supporter of free enterprise during the final days of World War II. He gained his senatorial reputation as a loyal protege of Senator Robert A. Taft who led the fight against President Truman to deregulate the domestic economy and to prevent the internationalization of the nation's foreign policies. Capehart became a respected member of the conservative Republican Foreign Relations Committee and a powerful member of the Senate Banking Committee during the Eisenhower years. During the Kennedy era, he became a vocal opponent of Democratic "fiscal irresponsibility" and an acknowledged expert on Latin American affairs. Capehart was one of the chief critics of the Kennedy administration's handling of the Cuban missile crisis, a position which not only gave him his greatest national publicity but which, ironically, also contributed mightily to his final political defeat.

For several millennia man has in some way farmed his waters by holding fish captive in ponds. Not until the second half of the nineteenth century, however, as a result of a general concern in the industrialised nations that fishery stocks were declining, were serious attempts made to breed fish artificially. The most concerted of these attempts in Britain effectively began in 1873 when Sir James Maitland (1848-1897), a Scottish landowner, commenced experiments which evolved into the construction of the world's largest salmonoid piscicultural establishment. This operation, the Howietoun Fishery, sold its produce nationally on the open market, a new departure in pisciculture. It also advanced the piscicultural process scientifically in selectively breeding fish superior to nature's own. Maitland's work was not, in itself, particularly successful commercially. This was not, however, the result of commercial failure on his behalf but rather a reflection of his desire to develop pisciculture for the public good in an attempt to restock impoverished fisheries and to disseminate knowledge in the hope that others would be encouraged to imitate his example on a more commercial basis. Maitland's piscicultural work was highly important to the development of what has today become a significant global industry, though his contribution has not hitherto been recognised. The thesis intends to set out Maitland's piscicultural advances and their significance. It offers a detailed analysis of Maitland's entrepreneurship and casts its net wider to draw in some discussion of his work away from Howietoun, particularly on his membership of the Fishery Board for Scotland where it examines the debate over state support for nineteenth century British science. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the development of Howietoun in the seventy years after its founder's death. In addition to Maitland's own writings, the thesis uses evidence from Howietoun's general records, Maitland's family papers, Fishery Board for Scotland material, and a very wide variety of published sources.

his dissertation examines the rhetoric of the homestead movement in antebellum America as a particular instance of domesticity. Homestead rhetoric alters the modes of identity and subjectivity usually found in domesticity, and alters the home-nation metaphor at the moment when the nation faced an increasing sectional divide that would lead to a Civil War. As deployed by Congressmen, homestead rhetoric used domesticity to define the relationship between manhood and citizenship. Harriet Jacobs uses this rhetoric in her autobiographical Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl to shape an identity more in line with male homesteaders than with the subjects of women’s domesticity. E.D.E.N. Southworth’s The Haunted Homestead offers the home-nation metaphor as a solution to national crisis, but ultimately the crisis is too large to solve through domesticity. This dissertation uses Jurgen Habermas’s concepts of lifeworld and system to assess the types of subjects created through the different modes of domesticity. Lifeworld describes modes of communication that foster the agency of individuals, and system describes the instrumentalization of individuals into roles where they are only a means to an end. The lifeworld created through homestead rhetoric is ultimately systematized by the importance of transforming land into property; Harriet Jacobs recognizes that she must escape the systematization of slavery and enter into a new economic system to have her rights fully acknowledged; Southworth’s failure to find a literary solution to national problems suggests the limits of a literary lifeworld, or the extent to which the domestic itself has been systematized. This dissertation concludes by considering how Laura Ingalls Wilder’s experience homesteading in South Dakota can bring an ecocritical perspective to lifeworld and system. Ingalls Wilder rejects the system of commodified nature to find contentment in a lifeworld affirmed through an agrarian relationship to the land.

Le present essai propose en premier lieu une analyse de la theorie linguistique de Walter Benjamin telle qu'enoncee dans son essai de 1916, Uber Sprache uberhaupt und uber die Sprache des Menschen. Dans un meme temps, il propose aussi une analyse de la theorie linguistique de la Kabbale telle qu'elaboree par Gershom Scholem tout au long de sa vie, dans un nombre non negligeable de publications, theorie dont il chercha a faire la synthese dans son essai de 1970, Der Name Gottes und die Sprachtheorie der Kabbala. / Cet essai se propose ensuite de demontrer comment Scholem et Benjamin ont trouve dans l'oeuvre de Franz Kafka l'expression litteraire de leurs theories linguistiques. / En conclusion, cet essai se propose de demontrer comment Scholem et Benjamin, a partir de leurs theories linguistiques respectives, et malgre la proximite indeniable de celles-ci, en sont venus a interpreter Kafka d'une facon diametralement opposee. Scholem, en effet, voyait dans cette oeuvre l'expression d'une des theories les plus nihilistes de la Kabbale: Die Unvollziehbarkeit der Offenbarung, une negation de la Revelation divine; Benjamin voyait pour sa part chez Kafka l'expression d'une tres mince possibilite de redemption.

Diva Nolf juntou documentos para tirar seu título de eleitora e participar das eleições presidenciáveis de 1922, mas este direito foi negado a ela. A situação que passou a inspirou a publicar um livro em 1923 em que narra seu caso e traz um amplo levantamento sobre a temática do voto feminino. Pretende-se entender o indivíduo Diva Nolf enquanto sujeito singular e coletivo, pensar ela como única e plural, em suas relações com as demais militantes da FBPF. Para compreender a sua luta, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo que envolveu o levantamento de documentos da FBPF; a análise de seu livro; de seu histórico escolar e uma entrevista com sua prima em Batatais que possibilitou reconstruir sua infância e sua família. A pesquisa bibliográfica trouxe como pano de fundo a formação da República brasileira e os anos 1920, analisados por meio do uso dos Estudos de Gênero e Feminismo e História das Mulheres / The main goal of the following paper is to bring to the lights the history of the suffragist fight of Diva Nolf Nazário. Diva was a young academic of law and- along with other women of the “Federação Brasileira para o Progresso Feminino” (FBPF) - she claimed to women the right to vote and, more widely, claimed the inclusion of women in the political space. Diva Nolf presented all the documents needed to have her permission to vote in the 1922’s general elections for president, but it was denied under the Constitution. The then law student did not agree with the decision and published in a newspaper an article that contested each argument of the judge who denied her permission to vote. Also in this article, Diva argued about the situation of women in Brazil. She claims, based upon her studies at the Largo do São Francisco College, that women are not considered nonvoters by the Brazilian Constitution and, thus, the denial of her permission to vote was against the Constitution. This situation inspired Diva to publish a book, in 1923, in which she brings the feminine vote to discussion. In order to understand her struggle, a field research, which handled carefully documents of the FBPF, was executed, an analysis of her book and of documents of the period she was a law student was done and her cousin from Batatais (Diva’s homeland) was interviewed. This made possible the understanding of her Family and childhood. The bibliographic research brought to this paper the formation of the Republic in Brazil and the 20’. Those elements were analyzed under the scope of Studies of Gender and Feminism and the History of Women. The analysis of Diva’s biography and her book helped understanding the process of struggle for the civil rights for women in the Republic and the role played by young women in achieving the women’s right to vote / FAPESP: 2012/11728-2

The aim of this thesis is to compare the Requiems of Brahms and Verdi, two composers who are both amongst the greatest in our Western musical history, but completely different in significant aspects, the one being by nature introspective, serious, and even inclined towards melancholy in his creative work, whether done in a religious context or not; and the other being first and foremost a composer of operas, thus specializing in music for the stage or theatre, presupposing extroversion and even a degree of flamboyancy. Brahms never wrote any operas but his oeuvre is enhanced by symphonies, sonatas and concertos of serious intent, and especially by a body of wonderful chamber music (which is perhaps the most intimate genre in Western instrumental music). Verdi, on the other hand, is known almost exclusively for his operas, and wrote little else. Then Brahms was one of the great composers of the German Lieder, again a markedly intimate genre, which suggests that he paid constant attention to fine detail. In contrast, Verdi's mentality was that of the Italian opera composer who is more concerned with flowing melodic beauty, which is a "translation into music" of the meanings and tendencies of the text.

Não temos a pretensão de transformá-lo em um teórico ortodoxo do marxismo, que seguiu apenas um caminho, ou de justificá-lo valendo-se dos seus primeiros escritos. Temos, contudo, a intenção de compreendê-lo como um sujeito histórico, que propôs uma teoria que tinha preocupação com sua efetivação, de modo que a escola do povo fosse possível. Discutiremos seus escritos ricos de conceitos marxistas, da mesma forma que refletiremos sobre os escritos em que há certo distanciamento do partido comunista e o autor adota uma postura, para muitos, condizente com os ideais da escola nova ou, até mesmo para alguns outros, uma postura romântica da educação. Pontuamos nosso objetivo central como a tentativa de encontrar um possível fio condutor em suas principais obras – Ensaio de psicologia sensível I (1976); Ensaio de psicologia sensível II (1978); Pedagogia do bom senso (1998) e Para uma escola do povo (2001) –, com o fim de entender a proposta de sua Escola do Povo, sob a base de uma educação pelo trabalho. Essa proposta foi construída e aplicada, na França, por Freinet, levando em consideração o ponto de partida e para quem se destina a educação, assim quais são as suas bases fundamentais. Além disso, buscamos compreender o motivo pelo qual a pedagogia popular de Freinet, quando chega ao Brasil na segunda metade do século XX, distancia-se tanto de suas raízes populares e políticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza teórico-bibliográfica, descritiva e exploratória, que tomou como perspectiva teórico-metodológica o materialismo histórico-dialético.
