A intenção é utilizar os trabalhos, pesquisas e publicações sobre este acontecimento histórico como fontes para investigar as representações forjadas sobre os sertanejos que participaram da Guerra. Esta investigação procura perceber em que medida essas representações receberam novos significados e foram utilizadas, ao longo do século, pelos discursos presentes nesses textos para construir e fortalecer todo um imaginário social sobre a Guerra e sobre aqueles que dela participaram combatendo as Forças Legais.

Os trabalhos de intervenção na malha urbana, inicialmente limitados a esparsas retificações do traçado de ruas e avenidas nas últimas décadas do século XIX, ganharam relevo a partir do final da primeira década do século XX, com o surgimento de várias propostas que visavam a remodelação da área central e a instalação de melhorias urbanas. No período compreendido entre 1908 e 1916, a cidade sofreu um salto urbanístico evidenciado pelo aparelhamento sistemático do cenário urbano: construção de prédios públicos, como teatros, hospitais, hotéis; arborização; iluminação; abaulamento; e ajardinamento de praças, ruas e avenidas. Este período de intensas transformações coincide com a gestão de Bento de Abreu Sampaio Vidal como vereador e, posteriormente, presidente da Câmara Municipal. O personagem histórico em questão figurou como importante agente modernizador porque investia na cidade. Para concretizar seu ideal de cidade modernizada, valia-se de sua influência política, de seu poder econômico e de seu prestígio de homem letrado. As transformações ocorridas no espaço urbano estiveram estreitamente ligadas à sua atuação como homem público. No decorrer deste trabalho, abordar-se-à as principais intervenções realizadas pelo agente modernizador e as possibilidades de apropriação de modelos europeus para a realização desses empreendimentos.

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a general introduction to the study of James' art criticism, to establish his aesthetic criteria and to indicate the relationship between his theory of art and the themes of his fiction. First, I have included an analysis of three stories concerning the artist and his craft: "The Madonna of the Future," "The Liar," and "The Real Thing." Drawing certain conclusions as to James’ view of the nature of art and the nature and function of the artist, I have then proceeded to examine his most important statements on nineteenth century painting. Although this is only a small portion of his many comments on not only the art of painting but all the Fine Arts, I have limited my discussion to painting for the sake of brevity and clarity, and to the nineteenth century because James is a nineteenth century novelist. I have attempted to show his amazing perception of the various aesthetic movements of his time and his sympathetic attitude towards the many pitfalls into which the artists of the nineteenth century fell. I have also tried to indicate briefly where James differed from the major art critics of the time, such as Ruskin, Pater and Baudelaire. I feel that certain conclusions can be drawn from a study of James' art criticism: one, that it is important to any serious study of his novels; two, that it is closely linked to certain twentieth century attitudes towards the nature of art; and three, that the aesthetic theory out of which James is working has a direct relation to both the form and content of his novels. His characters are acting out his own struggle for a compromise between the Real and the Ideal, and his theory of art and theory of life being one and the same, he feels that one should, in a certain sense, make of one's life a work of art. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The purpose of this thesis is to study the protagonists in the theatre of Antonio Buero Vallejo and the themes that are demonstrated by means of them.

This thesis examines the structures guiding and informing reading intrinsic to James's "late" style. It seeks to explore James's analogy between reading as an ethical activity and his own and his characters' acts of storytelling. It looks first at the necessities of reading as they are presented through the character of Isabel Archer in The Portrait of a Lady, to find that reading for James is itself a form of storytelling. James's concept of "revision," which replaces the concept of "re-writing," unites the activities of reading and storytelling because both activities, to be free, must be guided by the contingencies of experience. James's emphasis on the determinations of experience, which yields changing apprehensions of the same material, at once makes reading a test of the reader's resources in dealing with unexpected and complex situations, and storytelling an act of improvisation if it is to be faithful to the demands of its subject. The second half of the thesis examines Maggie Verver's command of storytelling in The Golden Bowl. It finds that ethical storytellers must have the same faith in their subject matter as ethical readers must have in the texts they engage. Finally, the thesis unites the study of reading with storytelling by examining the ways in which stories are exemplary performances whose the most significant subject is the audience. It is the forms of judgement that a work of art elicits which are essential to establishing alternative conceptions of the good and new modes of valuation in a community.
