Teatro e variação : a colocação pronominal em duas versões de A viúva Pitorra, de João Simões Lopes Neto

Mambrini, Ester January 2004 (has links)
Esta pesquisa investiga a colocação pronominal em duas versões da peça A Viúva Pitorra, de João Simões Lopes Neto, tendo por perspectiva problematizar o texto teatral como fonte de estudos da sociolingüística variacionista em função do caráter oral e coloquial atribuído a estes textos, tanto pela lingüística, como pela crítica teatral e literária. Temos como hipótese geral que os arranjos promovidos na colocação pronominal na segunda versão da peça refletem uma reescrita orientada para a variedade falada, indicando, por extensão, o comportamento de próclises e ênclises no plano geral da língua e a sensibilidade lingüística do autor não só para a linguagem em uso, mas também para a força coercitiva da norma gramatical. Como hipóteses específicas, temos que 1) a ocorrência de próclises e ênclises na peça reflete as características do português falado no Brasil e que 2) sobre as formas enclíticas, atua fortemente a coerção da norma cultuada. A revisão teórica propõe um diálogo entre a crítica literária e a teatral, identificando as (in)definições da área para os termos oral e coloquial; na área da lingüística, resenhamos as pesquisas cujos corpora são formados de peças teatrais e nos apoiamos nos estudos de variação e mudança que abordam diacronicamente a colocação pronominal, instituindo especificidades do sistema gramatical do português brasileiro em relação ao português europeu. Os dados são analisados descritivamente em relação aos arranjos promovidos na segunda versão e quantitativamente (programas Varbrul/Varbwin) em relação aos fatores definidos para análise. No geral, os resultados indicam 1) o favorecimento da próclise em ambas as versões, refletindo as características do português brasileiro falado e 2) a incidência da norma nas formas enclíticas. Dos quatro fatores selecionados como estatisticamente significativos, destacamos os fatores a) gênero do personagem e b) sujeito expresso x sujeito nulo, ambos ausentes na literatura lingüística resenhada. O fator a) acrescenta um dado sociolingüístico às pesquisas cujos corpora são formados a partir de peças teatrais, e o fator b) indica a necessidade de pesquisas pontuais sobre a relação indicada como estatisticamente significativa. Acrescentamos à discussão a colocação pronominal em dois outros textos do autor gaúcho: um drama e duas versões de um conto, objetivando fundamentar a inadequação do termo oralidade e oferecer o termo “linguagem verossímil” para caracterizar traços lingüísticos da variedade falada em diferentes gêneros literários.

Procuraremos estudar os diversos momentos do desenho e da obra gráfica do artista, reconhecendo as influências que nortearam seus estudos sobre a concepção da forma plástica, permitindo uma compreensão mais apurada da poética de Boccioni. A presença da Antigüidade clássica, do Renascimento italiano, do Art Nouveau, do Expressionismo e do Simbolismo nos desenhos de Boccioni nos permitirá identificar a amplitude de sua estética, bem como reconhecer, na fase futurista do artista, o amadurecimento de muitos conceitos e idéias que surgiram em seus desenhos, como a preocupação com a linha, o espaço, a luz, o ambiente, e principalmente, o estudo e a apreensão do movimento humano / Abstract: The main objective of this thesis is to built a comprehension upon the futurist works of Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) starting from a study of his aesthetical trajectory impressed on his drawings. We want to identify the several influences captured by the artist, studying specific moments of these works, recongnizing then the influences that conducted his studies about the conception of the plastic form. This study intends to establish the basis for a more acurate perception of Boccioni¿s aesthetic. The presence of classic Antiquity, Italian Renascence, Art Nouveau, Expressionism and Simbolism in Boccioni¿s drawings will permit the identification of their complexity and amplitude, as well to recognize, in his futurist phase, the maturing of many concepts and ideas that were born in these drawings, for example, the theories about line, space, light, environment, and mainly, the study and representation of the human movement / Doutorado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Doutor em História Social

Sua caracterização se dá com a descrição, análise e interpretação dos percursos de Elza Freire entrelaçados ao de Paulo Freire seu esposo e Madalena, Cristina, Fátima, Joaquim e Lutgardes seus filhos. Justifica-se tanto pelo caráter histórico e memorialístico ao entremear processos históricos passados, quanto pela utopia que vincula presente/futuro na construção de sociedades mais igualitárias e menos autoritárias. O recorte temporal se encaixa nos anos 1964/1979, os cenários compõem-se do nacional e internacional, aonde foram inseridos brasileiros como parte do processo de exílio que acometeu homens e mulheres, adultos, jovens e crianças. As experiências de Elza Freire se configuram nessas realidades organizadas em três fases: Américas, Europa e África e, retorno ao Brasil. No âmbito geral, o foco se concentra no exílio ¿ entendido como ato de violência e abuso de poder imposto pelo Estado e como acontecimento social, coletivo e, ao mesmo tempo individual, que relaciona as dimensões histórica, sócio cultural, política e pedagógica. O exílio é ambíguo e simultâneo, compreende dor, saudade, rupturas e aberturas de oportunidades e horizontes, em seu bojo acontecem reconversões identitárias, movimentos de circulação e deslocamentos que provocam desterros, apátridas, estigmas e diásporas. O alicerce dos argumentos apresenta uma triangulação teórica, metodológica e empírica fundamentada na abordagem qualitativa e carregada por intertextualidades. Compostas por diversos instrumentos de coleta de dados, a partida foi o levantamento bibliográfico, todos na intenção de reunir e articular o conjunto de fontes documentais e não documentais, destacando os "Escritos Íntimos" de Elza Freire. O espectro das conclusões se abre destacadamente para: a elaboração do mapa da Diáspora Freiriana; a identificação de paradoxos e a esquerdização do casal Freire; as redefinições de práxis e propostas deles, em geral no campo da Educação e, particularmente da de Adultos; traça mudanças na militância; apresenta fragmentos do real com os quais se dá visibilidade a Elza Freire mulher, exilada, mãe, esposa, professora, camarada. Destarte, descrever percursos, recobrar memórias, investigar processos, é uma forma de impedir governos ditatoriais, é recusar situações sociais de controle, opressão, exclusão e, violação de direitos, é fortalecer a sociedade, a liberdade e a vida / Abstract: This work aims to analyze the exile as a consequence of after the coup in 1964, which deposed João Goulart¿s Governament and estabilished the dictatorship in Brazil. Its characterization is made by description, analysis, and interpretation of the courses of Elza Freire interlaced to the routes of her husband Paulo Freire, Madalena, Cristina, Fátima, Joaquim and Lutgardes, their children. This work is justified by the historical and memorialist character when past facts are interspersed, as well as by the utopia that bonds presente/future in the constructing of more egalitarian and less authoritarian societies. The temporal cut fits the years 1964/1979, the scenery is composed of national and international, in which men, women, adults and children were parto of the exile process. Elza Freire¿s experiences take place in these realities ordered in three phases: Americas, Europe and Africa and, the return to Brazil. The focus is on the exile ¿ considered as an act of violence and power abuse imposed by the State and also as a social event, both collective and individual, that relates the historical, sociocultural, political and pedagogical dimensions. The exile is ambiguous and simultaneous, envolving pain, lack, ruptures and openings of oportunities and horizontes. In its context, there are reconversions of identities, circulation movements and displacements that promote deportations, statelessness, stigmas and diaspora. The arguments¿s basis presentes a theoretical, methodological and empirical triangulation founded on qualitative approach with many intertextualities. Considering many instruments of data collection, the start was the bibliographical survey, all aiming to gather and link the group of documented and nondocumented sources, emphasizing the "Intimate Writings" ("Escritos Íntimos") by Elza Freire. The spectre of the conclusions expands based on this research, markedly for: the elaboration of the Diaspora of Freire; the identification of paradoxes and the leftism of the Freire¿s; the redefinitions of their praxis and proposals, in general in the Education field and particularly the Adult¿s Education; draws changes in the militancy; presents fragments of Elza Freire¿s real life as a woman, an exile, a mother, a wife, a teacher, a friend. Therefore, describing trajectories, recalling memories, investigating processes, is a way of trying to block dictatorial governments, as well as refusing situations of social control, oppression, exclusion and violation of rights; it is a way to strengthen the society, freedom and life / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Doutora em Educação

La investigación Lógica de las normas de G.H Von Wright y su conexión con la filosofía de Ludwig Wittgenstein

Araneda Alcaíno, Jorge Luis, Lecaros Urzúa, Juan Alberto January 2002 (has links)
Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales) / No autorizada por los autores para ser publicada a texto completo / En esta memoria se establecen las conexiones existentes, entre dos destacados exponentes de la llamada filosofía analítica: G.H. von Wright y Ludwig Wittgenstein. Un primer nivel de aproximación a las conexiones entre ambos filósofos está dado por los componentes institucionales y políticos que ambos comparten al interior de la tradición analítica de la filosofía. Respecto al componente institucional, ambos autores están conectados por el hecho de provenir de una misma red de formación (Universidad de Cambridge), producción y difusión (revista Mind) y círculos de discusión. En cuanto al componente político, von Wright tuvo como ‘programa’ extender el dominio de sus investigaciones lógicas, fuertemente influidas por Wittgenstein, hacia otros ámbitos tales como las ciencias sociales y el Derecho. El segundo nivel de conexiones son las que se presentan respecto de las concepciones filosóficas de cada uno. Al respecto, entre ambos filósofos se observan las siguientes conexiones: ambos filósofos comparten una perspectiva crítica de las teorías generales como un método de explicación de los fenómenos; las investigaciones conceptuales de las normas de von Wright se fundamentan en la concepción del significado como uso de Wittgenstein; finalmente, los dos coinciden en que la lógica tiene un ámbito que va más allá del cálculo de las funciones de verdad (tesis que fundamenta la posibilidad de existencia de una lógica de normas). Sin embargo, von Wright fundamenta esta última tesis en el presupuesto ideal de una voluntad racional del legislador, asumiendo un costo argumentativo que, aplicando las ideas de Wittgenstein, no es necesario asumir. En efecto, siguiendo a Wittgenstein, la racionalidad mínima que permite la posibilidad de una lógica de normas no está en el ámbito de lo ideal, sino que en la racionalidad con la que actúan los hombres en diversas prácticas, su acuerdo en juicios y conceptos que en el tiempo conforman una forma de vida, un sistema de certezas al que Wittgenstein se refiere como una imagen del mundo compartida por los miembros de una misma comunidad lingüística.

The Vocal Pedagogy of Frederic Woodman Root

Grogan, David Christopher 05 1900 (has links)
Frederic Woodman Root was a vocal pedagogue and writer of the late nineteenth century. He wrote over eighteen books on vocal pedagogy, and numerous articles on singing. Since his death, most of his works have fallen into obscurity. The purpose of this document was to codify the vocal pedagogy of Frederic Woodman Root, discussing his particularly thorough methodology, and to bring his methods back into the public eye. His method is broken down into the various components of basic musicianship, the General Principle, the Three Vowel Forms, registers, breathing, and agility. Examples from Root's exercises are included and discussed.

The Problem of the Artist in Society : Hawthorne, James, and Hemingway

Beggs, Jane K. 08 1900 (has links)
The relationship of James to Hawthorne and of Hemingway to James certainly indicates the close literary relationship of the three writers. This development makes it seem only natural that three such self-conscious artists would have recourse to similar interests and would employ in their writings common themes, ideas, and methods.

Assim, por meio da análise de sua trajetória pessoal e profissional, compreendemos o contexto histórico, cultural e sócio-político com destaque à Recife. Considerando que para nós, Elza Freire se insere num escopo amplo de pesquisa, apresentamos o período compreendido entre 1916 a 1965. O trabalho assume outra dimensão a partir do casamento com Paulo Freire em 1944; sob esse aspecto do estudo, demonstramos a teoria formulada por nós, como Pedagogia da Convivência, onde teriam sido fundadas bases para o "método" desenvolvido e as "teorias" formuladas por Paulo Freire, possibilitando estruturação, fundamentação e consolidação das experiências com Adultos, o que nos remete à gênese dessa Educação no Brasil, com ênfase à participação de Elza como sistematizadora das palavras geradoras. Como metodologia, destaca-se o levantamento das diversas fontes de pesquisa incorporadas ao mapeamento bibliográfico, as descrições e análises dos manuscritos de Elza e, por fim a técnica da entrevista em narrativas. Os aportes da abordagem qualitativa foram utilizados e estruturados segundo uma lógica indutiva. Decidimos expor as décadas em ordem cronológica, utilizando fontes iconográficas inseridas ao texto para a composição histórica, o que possibilitou movimento e significado entre documentos, fatos e fragmentos, pois Elza é o sujeito que regula e configura as temporalidades da pesquisa. As considerações provisórias apontam para o surgimento de categorias "Elzanianas", acompanhadas de sua biografia, acreditamos encontrar em sua formação acadêmica e atuação profissional, informações que constituíram a educadora e intelectual, fundamentando sua prática político-pedagógica inovadora e vanguardista, cujo espírito crítico-solidário se consolidou e desdobrou em prol da humanidade; sobretudo, identificar a participação de Elza no pensamento e na práxis de Paulo Freire ao apreendermos seu legado para a Educação. / Abstract: The present research brings Elza Freire to light and exposes the debates and considerations about the results of the scientific investigation, whose main objective was to identify her contribution and show her influence onto Brazilian Education and particularly to Adults Literacy. Hence, through the analysis of her personal and professional trajectory, the historical, cultural and socio-political context was sought to be understood. Considering that for us Elza Freire inserts herself in a topmost purpose, the period from 1916 to 1965 is shown in this dissertation. From her marriage to Paulo Freire in 1944, the search gets another dimension; under this aspect of the study, we demonstrate the theory formulated by us, like Cohabitation Pedagogy which were founded basis for the "method" developed and "theories" put by Paulo Freire, enabling structure, rationale and consolidation of experiences with adults, which brings us back to the genesis of Education in Brazil, with emphasis on the participation of Elza and systematizing generated words.As work methodology we adopted a survey of resources, including the bibliographic material to the description and analysis of the manuscripts made by Elza, using the contribution of qualitative approach and finally, the semi-organized interview techinique through narratives. . The contributions of the qualitative approach were used and structured in na inductive logic. We decided to arrange those decades in chronological order explaining the historical essay by using iconographic sources, which could enable movement and meaning between the facts and fragments, since Elza is the subject who sets and represents the transience of this research. Interim considerations point to the emergence of categories "Elzanianas' accompanied by her biography, we find in her academic and professional activities, information that formed the intellectual and educator, basing her pedagogicpolitical practice innovative and avant-garde, whose critically - solidarity consolidated and deployed in support of humanity, especially to identify Elza's participation in Paulo Freire's thoughts and practices apprehending her legacy to the Brazilian Education. / Mestrado / Administração e Supervisão Educacional / Mestre em Educação

The Politics of Romance: Henry James's Social (Un)Conscious

Kim, Bong-Gwang 08 1900 (has links)
This study addresses the ideological properties of the two main modal strains in fictional representation of romance and realism in order to provide an antidote to the currently extremely negative view of the representational function of fiction. In the course of the discussion, three received positions in traditional literary criticism are challenged. Firstly, the view of literary form as ideology-free is undermined by demonstrating the ideological properties of the two modes. Secondly, the realism/romance binary opposition regarding the mode of fictional representation is critiqued by both uncovering the misconception of the former's competence for transparent representation and evincing the two modes' ideologically interactive relation. Lastly, the categorization of Henry James as an aesthete is problematized by historicizing and socializing his three texts.

Enchanted Texts: Japanese Literature Between Religion and Science, 1890-1950

Rogers, Joshua January 2020 (has links)
This dissertation explores how emerging understandings of science and religion impacted the formation of the modern field of literature in Japan. I argue that many modern Japanese writers “enchanted” literature, giving it a metaphysical value that they thought might stand firm in the face of modernity’s “disenchantment of the world,” to use the famous phrase of Max Weber. To do so, writers leveraged new anti-materialistic, pantheistic, and mystical ontologies that emerged around the globe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in philosophy, theology, and new fields of knowledge like religious studies. These worldviews were appealing alternatives to “religion,” which many Japanese intellectuals understood mainly as orthodox forms of Christianity and Buddhism, and which had been widely rejected by the early twentieth century under the influence of new scientific and historical hermeneutics. At the same time though, influential voices in the emerging critical discourse of Japanese literature were skeptical of purely materialistic accounts of reality and especially of art, turning instead to new notions of the spirit, the ideal, and the transcendental. I argue that the foundations of literary value and of the social position of the author in modern Japan are rooted in these new ideas about what might be experienced and represented outside the bounds of both scientific materialism and traditional religious dogma. The texts I examine consist of literary and aesthetic treatises, debates on philosophical and theological issues, and biographical and fictional works, all of which were pivotal to the theorization of Japanese literature and the artist, ranging from early efforts in the 1890s and extending through the tumultuous first half of the 20th century. The first chapter of my dissertation explores how canonical writers like Kitamura Tōkoku (1868–1894), Mori Ōgai (1862–1922), and Natsume Sōseki (1867–1916) wove emerging theories of religion and reality into their view of the capacity of poetry and fiction in the 1890s and 1900s. I show how their idea of the genius, or, drawing from Thomas Carlyle, of the “hero,” ascribed to the modern author the same capacity to perceive beyond the five senses as that identified in the prophets of the world religions. This understanding was based on a shared premise that religious texts were products not of divine revelation, but of a universal, non-empirical type of experience of the “inner heart,” the “ideal,” or the “World-soul,” defined as the essence of the world’s religions yet untethered to any one religious faith and fully accessible to the modern genius. The second chapter argues that similar ideas penetrated notions of the modern novel and the author through the early 1910s. A new generation of young writers who launched their careers after Japan’s victory in the Russo-Japanese War, including Yanagi Muneyoshi (1889–1961) and Mushanokōji Saneatsu (1885–1976), imagined Japanese artists as equal members of a global community of artists by identifying universal truths and beauty as the object of all art, religion, and science. In justifying the universal nature of art, writers argued that figures from Tolstoy to Rodin, and from Jesus to the Buddha, were all engaged in the same creative process. I show that these views provided a basis for Japanese authors to claim equality with their Western counterparts, just as it allowed prominent Japanese feminist Hiratsuka Raichō (1886–1971) to claim equality with male writers, since both nationality and gender were seen as unrelated to one’s ability to experience and represent the non-material aspects of reality. Similar views of art were employed to imagine the sociopolitical role of the writer within Japan. The third chapter begins with analysis of two leftist intellectuals, Kōtoku Shūsui (1871–1911) and Ōsugi Sakae (1885–1923), who were both eventually killed for their political activity. Both argued that myths, defined by them as both as religious texts and the great works of modern artists, could lead to individual enlightenment, bringing moral clarity for Kōtoku and a new means of experiencing reality for Ōsugi, thus creating the type of subject that could spark political change. Aristocrats Yanagi and Mushanokōji were unsympathetic with the left, but I argue that these two writers similarly attempted to repurpose religious texts to affect social change. By following in the footsteps of the mystics and prophets of the past, while also never directly addressing the existence of the supernatural, they believed that they could create change while also avoiding the pitfalls of religion. I argue that each of these writers drew from religious traditions in their definition of the author’s continuing social and political legitimacy in the midst of the rapid expansion of both leftist movements and of Japanese imperial power in the 1910s and ‘20s. In the fourth chapter, I argue that across his career, writer Akutagawa Ryūnosuke (1892–1927) balanced a critique of traditional religion with an interest in non-religious forms of spiritual experience. Akutagawa cast the Christian Church as a colonial organization concerned with accumulating power, yet at the same time drew on the transnational discourse connecting the supernatural to both psychological disorder and to the colonial idea of “primitivity” in order to create ambiguous portrayals of inexplicable experiences and phenomena. Akutagawa also identifies the possibility for “poetic” literature to open the door to a type of extraordinary experience described almost exclusively in religious language, which I argue also influenced his own experiments with aphoristic writing. This chapter provides a new understanding of this canonical author’s views of religious experience and of literature, while also positioning his work as one part of a discursive current with deep roots in modern Japan and across the globe. In the epilogue, I consider the afterlife of these currents in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. I first discuss how the metaphysical and aesthetic positions analyzed in previous chapters laid the groundwork for some authors to shift toward support for the Japanese state’s embrace of authoritarianism and colonialism. However, even if the emphasis on intuitive knowledge and the deeds of heroic individuals within these forms of knowledge led some towards right-wing politics, the fictional and critical texts of Ishikawa Jun (1899–1987) written in this period provide an excellent example of an alternative path. In Ishikawa’s work, traditional Buddhism and Christianity are objects of incessant yearning, representing an absolute moral and conceptual authority that no longer exists in the grimy wartime and postwar reality. But I argue that parallel to his critique of absolutism, Ishikawa’s characters continue to yearn for something more, and Ishikawa himself identifies a potential for salvation within literature. Ishikawa’s work shows that the idea of an enchanted potentiality within writing continued to undergird literary discourse in Japan even in the face of the massive sociopolitical upheaval of WWII.
