The music of Jean Francaix is well known to those familiar with woodwind chamber literature. His long, successful career began in the 1930s when French composers rejected the excessively chromatic harmonies, intense emotionalism and grandiose proportions of late Romantic music. Embracing the concepts of neoclassicism, economy of means, clarity and objectivity, and a return to diatonicism and formal structures, the new "Classical" music contained the added spice of twentieth-century harmonic techniques including bitonality, modality, and quartal and quintal harmonies. Francaix has written many concertos and solos for woodwind instruments, but his enduring popularity resides in his chamber music for various combinations. His publisher for the last six decades has been B. Schott's Sohne who commissioned Francaix to write several chamber works in honor of his eightieth birthday. Two of his works for flute, Divertimento pour flute et piano and Suite pour flute seule, are known to professional flutists but not considered standards in the flute repertoire. The purpose of this paper is to call attention to the wide variety of Francaix's repertoire which is eminently suitable for concert and recital programming. The identification of formal and tonal elements in Francaix's two works for flute helps to place his prodigious output within the context of the prevailing musical and philosophical aesthetic in France of the 1920s through 1940s. An annotated list of Francaix's works with flute in a primary role is included as an appendix.

A opção pelo estudo de canções interpretadas por esse artista surgiu da relevância que o intérprete teve para a música brasileira ao dar as bases para um novo gênero musical que, em alguma medida, representa o Nordeste brasileiro: o Baião. As canções que interpreta revelam muitos diálogos com o discurso religioso que, a nosso ver, colaboram para a riqueza e singularidade de sua obra. O referencial teórico principal desse trabalho é a Análise do Discurso, especificamente os estudos do pesquisador francês Dominique Maingueneau sobre o conceito de primado do interdiscurso e as categorias discursivas de ethos e cenas enunciativas. Nesta última está incluída a cenografia. Analisamos ainda a intertextualidade como processo que colabora para a construção dessas relações interdiscursivas. Além dos trabalhos de Maingueneau (2008a, 2008b, 2009), também utilizamos como referencial teórico os estudos de Costa (2001, 2004 e 2012) sobre o discurso literomusical brasileiro. O objetivo principal do trabalho foi o de verificar como a interdiscursividade, observada através do investimento ético e cenográfico nas canções de Gonzaga, bem como nas relações de intertextualidade, se constrói entre o discurso literomusical e o discurso religioso. Percebemos que tais relações são evidenciadas a partir do estudo da oscilação entre ethos discursivo do sertanejo devoto grato/festivo e questinoador/desapontado, a partir da relação com o ritmo musical e a cenografia delineada. Cenas encaixadas de preces também são recorrentes, assim como as relações intertextuais de referência direta ou alusão com textos do discurso religioso, especialmente, bíblicos , bem como processos de retextualização de preces. Essas relações do discurso literomusical com o discurso religioso fortificam posicionamento de Luiz Gonzaga no discurso literomusical brasileiro, na medida em que a religião integra a identidade cultural do sertanejo nordestino e os elementos religiosos da cenografia identificam-se com a proposta desse discurso literomusical, ora polemizando, ora ludicizando, ora disforizando

The work is divided in two parts. The first part analyzes A Republica as the main medium of oligarchy power. Therefore it is fundamental to understand the newspaper approach to recent republican regime and its role in the construction of a positive image of Antônio Nogueira Pinto Accioly . The second part examines the newspapers Unitario and Jornal do Ceará and their strategies against Accioly’s oligarchy, as well as the debates and fights in the political arena. At last it is pointed out the combative positions of O Rebate, A Cidade and the pamphlets which increase the antioligarchy combat with a specific language. / Este trabalho estuda a ação da imprensa em Fortaleza no período entre 1896 e 1912, tomando como foco da análise os discursos jornalísticos produzidos na conjuntura política da oligarquia acciolina, a partir dos jornais A Republica, Unitario e Jornal do Ceará. O trabalho está organizado em duas partes: na Primeira Parte o objeto de análise é o jornal A Republica, em sua condição de porta-voz da oligarquia, percebendo sua abordagem acerca do regime republicano e a construção positiva da imagem do chefe oligárquico Antonio Pinto Nogueira Accioly. Na segunda parte, o caminho da pesquisa adota como procedimento a análise daquela conjuntura impressa nos jornais oposicionistas Unitario e Jornal do Ceará, destacando as opiniões contrárias à oligarquia, bem como os enfrentamentos e embates no campo das idéias políticas no Ceará. Em destaque ainda a palavra de combate dos jornais O Rebate, A Cidade e a linguagem específica dos panfletos alimentando as lutas antioligárquicas.

La presente tesis "Las multitudes políticas de Lima y Callao de 1912 y la elección de Billinghurst" para optar el grado de Doctor en Historia, mereció larga dedicación desde que apareció como inquietud por investigar el gobierno y la administración de dicho mandatario (1912-1914), pero por la magnitud y alcances de la misma hubo que reformularla y orientarla a una propuesta de caracterización de aquél período: el populismo temprano y urbano, el primero del siglo y, tal vez el segundo en aparecer en la Historia del Perú.

À partir des années 1970, le roman Dracula de Bram Stoker (1897) a connu une série inattendue d’éditions critiques, qui ont contribué en même temps à la canonisation d’une œuvre de fiction considérée auparavant comme dédaignable et à la perpétuation des points de vue du roman sur la Transylvanie et la Roumanie. En général, les éditeurs suivent le principe selon lequel les annotations doivent permettre au public d’aujourd’hui d’avoir une expérience de lecture similaire à celle des premiers lecteurs et aussi proche de l’intention de l’auteur que possible. Dans le cas de Dracula, cela présuppose que beaucoup des choix idéologiques de Stoker restent inexpliqués et indisputés, tandis que ses représentations des peuples et des lieux “lointains” sont soutenues par l’usage que font les éditeurs des notes de travail du romancier. Stoker a pris note, en les modifiant, des centaines de citations de différentes sources qu’il a ensuite incorporées dans le texte du roman. Les éditeurs de Dracula se fient à ces notes, sans prendre en compte les changements opérés par le romancier, les passages qu’il a utilisés mais qui n’apparaissent pas dans les notes, ou le fait que les sources sont souvent biaisées ou simplement érronées. Ainsi, les éditions critiques du roman de Stoker préservent et même contribuent au processus d’altérisation commencé par l’auteur de Dracula. L’analyse du discours d’altérisation est directement liée à la discussion du contexte historique du roman, c’est-à-dire le statut néo-colonial de la Roumanie, abordé dans la deuxième partie de cette étude. Les faits qui y sont mis en valeur montrent que ce que Stoker savait et ceux qu’il connaissait ont influencé ses choix d’endroits, de personnages et d’intrigue. L’implication de la Grande Bretagne dans l’économie et la politique de la region, avant et après la Guerre de Crimée, attestée par la présence des aventuriers coloniaux britaniques et par celle de la marine militaire anglaise sur le Danube, n’a guère était étudiée par les historiens. Le même peut être dit de l’implication de Londres au sein de la Commission Européenne du Danube. La présente étude pourrait aussi être utile aux spécialistes du postcolonialisme, de la mondialisation ou à ceux qui s’intéressent aux transformations apportées par le capitalisme dans le Bas Danube et à l’intégration des principautés roumains dans le marché économique mondial. Stoker a trouvé ses sources parmi les écrits des voyageurs en Transylvanie et Roumanie qui se préoccupaient des avantages économiques offerts par ces pays. Leurs écrits ont d’abord stimulé et ensuite soutenu l’implication de la Grande Bretagne dans l’économie de la région. La présente thèse va au-delà d’une autre frontière, en passant des études littéraires à l’anthropologie. Les anthropologues culturels peuvent trouver utile la discussion du temps et de la différence dans le roman de Stoker et dans les annotations des éditeurs. Dans les deux cas, il s’agit de la collection et de la manipulation des données concernant une région européenne « lointaine ». La (non)existence des croyances aux vampires est une situation qui peut fournir un aperçu des pratiques traditionnelles mais aussi, ce qui est plus important, des conséquences profondes du travail anthropologique du dix-neuvième siècle. Bien qu’elle soit un examen des éditions les plus richement annotées du roman de Bram Stoker, la présente étude est interdisciplinaire. Elle utilise des théories et des conceptes de plusieurs domaines, tout en attirant l’attention sur les liens complexes entre la culture, l’histoire, la politique et l’économie. Ce que cette étude montre surtout, c’est le lien étroit entre l’objet littéraire et le contexte dans lequel il a été produit. / Since the 1970s, Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) has gone through an unexpectedly long series of scholarly editions, which has contributed both to the canonisation of a work of fiction previously considered undeserving and to the perpetuation of the novel’s views on Transylvania and Romania. As a rule, editors follow the principle according to which their annotations should allow today’s audience a reading experience similar to that of the original reader and as close to the author’s intention as possible. In Dracula’s case, this means that much of Stoker’s ideological choices remain unexplained and unchallenged, while his representations of “remote” people and places are supported by the editors’ use of the writer’s working notes. Stoker took down, in altered form, hundreds of quotes from several sources that he incorporated into the text of the novel. The editors of Dracula rely heavily on these notes, without taking into account the changes brought by the novelist, the passages that he used but do not appear in the notes, and the fact that the sources were often biased or simply wrong. Thus, the many scholarly editions of Stoker’s novel preserve and even enhance its original process of othering. The analysis of the othering discourse is closely linked to the discussion of the historical context of the novel, that is, to the neo-colonial status of Romania, examined in the second part of this study. The information unearthed here shows that who and what Stoker knew influenced his choice of place, plot and character, which can provide a new line of inquiry for both literary critics and historians. The involvement of Great Britain in the economy and politics of the region, before and after the Crimean War, attested by the presence of British colonial adventurers and by that of the British navy on the river Danube, has only been marginally studied by historians, and the same is true about the study of the British involvement in the European Commission of the Danube. The present study can be equally useful to scholars engaged with postcolonialism, globalisation, and the transformations brought about by capitalism in the Lower Danube region and by the integration of the Romanian principalities into the world market economy. Stoker’s sources were travellers to Transylvania and Romania who were preoccupied with the economic advantages those countries had to offer. Their writings both stimulated and, later, supported the British involvement in the economy of the region. This dissertation crosses yet another boundary, from literary studies into anthropology. Cultural anthropologists can find useful the discussion of time and difference in Stoker’s novel and in the annotations of the editors, both of which involve the collection and manipulation of data from a “remote” European region. In the case of Dracula, the (non)existence of vampire beliefs is an interesting case study which provides insight into the practice but, more importantly, into the far-reaching consequences of nineteenth-century anthropological work. Although an examination of the most heavily annotated scholarly editions of Bram Stoker’s vampire novel, the present study is interdisciplinary. It employs theories and concepts from several fields, thus bringing to the fore the intricate links between culture, history, politics and economy. What this study shows, more importantly, is the close link between the literary object and the context in which it was produced.
