Este estudo visou realizar um resgate histórico e, através do método de modelagem acústica, reconstruir acusticamente as salas de cinema projetadas pelo arquiteto Rino Levi. Utilizando dados mensuráveis e relatos publicados por Rino e outros autores, modelos foram criados. A partir dos modelos, realizaram-se comparações e avaliações dos parâmetros acústicos e das respostas, obtidas através de mapas acústicos gerados por simulações, para verificar as técnicas e soluções empregadas pelo arquiteto. Comprovou-se que a metodologia desenvolvida pelo arquiteto para a realização do tratamento acústico da sala do cinema é pertinente e inovadora para a época, entretanto algumas técnicas e soluções, em função dos resultados apresentados, passam a ser questionadas. O Cine Ufa-Palácio, o primeiro cinema a ser projetado por Levi, apresentou o melhor desempenho acústico em função de soluções empregadas somente no seu projeto. Nos outros projetos, principalmente no Cine Universo e Piratininga, notou-se, através do desempenho acústico, que algumas soluções contribuíram para um resultado pouco satisfatório. A importância de Levi para a acústica no Brasil é incontestável, mas suas soluções, até divulgadas como muito eficientes, devem ser repensadas e tratadas com critérios para a correção de possíveis falhas. Finalmente, o contato com essas salas de cinema projetadas por Levi foi significativo, independente dos resultados, por constatar a sua visão sobre arquitetura, baseada na técnica e nos princípios científicos, enfatizando um raciocínio projetual que revela a clareza de sua arquitetura. / A historical virtual acoustical reconstruction was developed in five movie theaters designed by the architect Rino Levi from 1936 to 1941, in the cities of São Paulo and Recife, by means of computer simulations. Such approach was chosen because these movie theatres have been demised or are now used with different purposes. Rino Levi is recognized as one of the Brazilian greatest architects, and the present work shows that he was perhaps the first to introduce the scientific results of Sabine in the design of acoustical sensitive rooms. By means of the original drawings and reports published by Rino Levi and others, geometric models have been created to carry out the computer simulations. From these models, Reverberation Times and Early Decay Times were obtained, and maps of speech intelligibility parameters such as C50 and RaSTI throughout the audiences have been generated. These allowed the evaluation of the acoustical results that would have been achieved by Rino Levi in these cinemas. Although the approaches employed by Rino Levi was considered innovative at that time, it is shown that some of his solutions, particularly those related to the shapes of the internal surfaces and structures, may be questioned by the present day knowledge. It is shown that Cine-Ufa Palace, the first movie theater designed by Rino Levi, supposedly presented the best acoustic performance among the movie theatres that have been simulated, whereas the adopted solutions to other cinemas, such as Cine Universe and Cine Piratininga, may have contributed to unsatisfactory acoustical results. Finally, regardless of the criticisms that can now be made to his approaches in the acoustical design of rooms, the acoustical reconstruction of the movie theaters designed by Rino Levi was significant, because it has been possible to get acquainted with his views of architecture, which had been based on technical and scientific principles, emphasizing a project reasoning that reveals the clarity of his solutions.

This thesis, based on private papers, society records, autobiographies and memoirs, newspapers and periodicals, examines one mainly female imperialist organisation - the Victoria League - and the women who ran it. It considers two related questions - what made Edwardian women imperialist, and how, within the limits of Edwardian society, could they express their imperialism? The thesis shows that several of the League's founders and executive had visited South Africa during or shortly before the Boer War, and that this experience, particularly for those who came into close contact with Milner, was pivotal in stimulating them to active imperialism. The Victoria League, founded April 1901, aimed to promote imperial unity and a British South Africa in a variety of suitably 'womanly' ways: Boer War charities, imperial education, exporting literature and art to the white dominions (particularly the Transvaal), welcoming colonial visitors to Britain, arranging for the welcome of British settlers in the colonies, and promoting social reform as an imperial issue. It worked overseas through a number of independent Victoria Leagues in Australasia, the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire in Canada, and the Guild of Loyal Women in South Africa; and at home with a number of similar (though largely male) imperial propaganda societies. The thesis also considers the Victoria League's attitude to race, particularly through its debate over entertaining Indian students. It ends with a discussion of the options available to imperialist women; and of the obstacles they faced in questions of authority (how far and in what ways a woman could pronounce on imperial subjects) and of ideology (as expressed through the anti-suffrage campaign). It concludes that the Victoria League, by transferring areas of activity long acknowledged as 'feminine' to the imperial stage, redefined areas of female competence and enlarged woman's 'separate sphere' to include the active propagation of imperialism.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo abordar as relações da história e da memória brasileira na obra de Murilo Mendes. Essa tarefa de interpretação engloba a releitura do País em chave satírica e chave religiosa, em duas do poeta, História do Brasil (1932) e Contemplação de Ouro Preto (1954). Nelas constataremos os usos que o poeta faz dos elementos acima, renovando o nosso entendimento sobre o passado. Demonstra-se no estudo que o poeta insere o Brasil em suas preocupações, dando destaque à memória histórica do País em sua produção, elaborando uma crítica à história sem deixar de lado a fatura poética. Assim, nosso estudo coloca o escritor em coordenadas mais específicas da tradição literária, o que tem sido tema de pouca presença nos estudos murilianos até o momento. / The aim of this study is to analyze the relations between History and Brazilian memory in Murilo Mendes´ poetry. This task of interpretation involves a revision of the country with a satiric and religious key in two books of the poet, History of Brasil (1932) and Contemplation of Ouro Preto (1954). The uses of History and memory done by the poet are considered very different in various ways promoting innovations in how we see images of the past. The intention is to show that Brazil is an important reference in the books analyzed emphasizing the reviews the poet does about our History and the poetical composition at the same time. Then, our study analyzes Murilo Mendes in a specific line of the Brazilian literary tradition considering a theme that few studies have contemplated so far.

Este trabalho tem como objeto de estudo o texto \"O estádio do espelho como formador da função do eu tal como nos é revelada na experiência psicanalítica\" (1949/1998) e a teoria do estádio do espelho estabelecida por Jacques Lacan entre 1936 e 1964. A proposta investigativa concentra-se em três vertentes: (1) Acompanhar a gênese da formulação lacaniana do estádio do espelho entre os anos de 1936 e 1938; (2) Analisar a estrutura temática da concepção apresentada em 1949; e (3) Organizar as reformulações e inflexões para a teoria do estádio do espelho realizadas por Lacan, a partir do modelo do esquema óptico entre os anos de 1954 e 1964. O objetivo geral concentra-se em examinar os principais temas e noções psicanalíticas desenvolvidos, de acordo com os três momentos para a teoria do estádio do espelho. Em adjacência, especificamente nas vertentes (1) e (2), objetiva-se recuperar as principais referências teóricas utilizadas por Lacan, enquanto na vertente (3) o exercício metodológico consiste em organizar as referências na própria obra de Lacan. As duas principais considerações finais apontam para a distinção entre o texto de 1949 a teoria e os temas desenvolvidos em torno do estádio do espelho, e a definição do conceito enquanto demarcação dos três registros Real Simbólico Imaginário (RSI) pela inscrição do objeto a, traço unário e imagem especular / This work aims to study the text The mirror stage as formative of the function of the I as revealed in psychoanalytic experience\" (1949/1998) and the mirror stage theory proposed by Jacques Lacan between 1936 and 1964. The research proposal focuses on three aspects: (1) To present the genesis of Lacan\'s formulation of the mirror phase theory between 1936 and 1938; (2) To analyze the thematic structure of the concept presented in 1949; and (3) To organize the reformulations and inflections of the mirror stage theory Lacan carries out in view of the optical model, between the years 1954 and 1964. The overall goal is to examine the main themes and psychoanalytic notions developed, in regards to the three moments proposed for the mirror stage theory. Secondarily, specifically in sections (1) and (2), the objective is to recover the main theoretical references used by Lacan, while in part (3) the methodological exercise is to organize the references in Lacan\'s own work. The two main conclusions point to the distinction between the 1949 text, the theory itself and the themes related to the mirror stage, and the definition of the concept as a demarcation of the three orders Real Symbolic Imaginary (RSI) by the inscription of the objet (petit) a, the unary trait and the specular image

O objetivo deste trabalho visa a prática da psicanálise lacaniana e sua fundamentação, tendo a civilização como parceira. Os impasses da civilização do risco e suas incidências sobre o corpo interessam-nos como viés para uma reflexão sobre a prática da psicanálise lacaniana na atualidade, especialmente em sua relação com os novos sintomas, sobretudo a partir do início do séc. XXI. O interesse em dialogar com a contemporaneidade visa fundamentar ainda mais a experiência da psicanálise aplicada, razão da forte presença dos psicanalistas nas instituições. Não nos detivemos apenas em aspectos da contemporaneidade. Para melhor situar na prática lacaniana a noção de falasser [parlêtre], a partir do último ensino de Lacan, resgatamos o debate sobre os universais, a aposta de Pascal e o mito hegeliano do senhor/mestre e do escravo. / This paper is related to the Lacanian psychoanalytical practice and its theoretical fundaments based on civilization as support . Civilization impasses on risk and their incidences on the body are considered as they lead to a reflection about the practice of Lacanian psychoanalysis in our days, especially when new symptoms are concerned, since the beginning of the 21st century. The interest in sustaining, with our contemporary times, a dialogue aims to add fundaments to applied psychoanalysis, considering the relevant presence of psychoanalysts in the institutions. This paper is nor more limited to what is found in contemporary times to better situate, in the Lacanian practice, the concept of parlêtre (by letter made) from Lacans last teaching. We have also recovered the debate about universals, Pascals bet and the Hegelian myth about the master and the slave.
