This document attempts to present the piano music of Claudio Santoro, a major twentieth century Brazilian composer. In order to illustrate the composer's background, the first chapter addresses briefly the situation of Nationalist music from the beginning of the second decade of this century to the 1940s, when Claudio Santoro came into the Brazilian scene. A general discussion about the Modernismo movement initiated by Mario de Andrade and the opposed views to the later school by the group Música Viva - headed by Hans Joachim Koellreuter - illustrates the politics and sociology in the music scene in Brazil during the first decades of the twentieth century. A biography, focusing mostly in a personal account by the composer, serves to illustrate Santoro's family background, environment, education and struggles to develop into a first class musician. The compilation of Santoro's piano music and an overview of its characteristics, introduces pianists to this Brazilian composer, whose body of works include mostly orchestral music. Although not a pianist himself, he composed several valuable piano works worthy of the repertoire. The Fourth Sonata represents one of Santoro's most popular piano works. The analysis of this work focuses on clarifying how the structure may be organized and how the chromatic idiom supports Santoro's deceptive tonal goals.

This thesis seeks to show how these migrants, dealing with different dimensions of experience that filled the day to day work and migration in drought years, were agents of their own development as a specific formation of workers, becoming in this way the drought’s proletarians. To this end, I seek to examine the various arrangements and changes that produced their forms of resistance on their journeys and in their daily work, and, from another point of view, the corresponding forms of arrangements and changes of the mechanisms of social control by the agents of power over this group of workers. / Entre as novas experiências suscitadas durante as secas da passagem do século XIX encontrava-se o recrutamento de milhares de retirantes (homens, mulheres e crianças) para o trabalho em obras de construção (ferrovias, estradas de rodagem, açudes, prédios urbanos, calçamentos etc.), acionadas como medida de controle social e condição para que os grupos de flagelados tivessem acesso aos socorros do governo. Nesta tese procura-se mostrar como esses retirantes, ao lidar com diferentes dimensões de experiências que preenchiam o dia a dia de migrações e trabalho em anos de seca, foram agentes de sua própria formação enquanto uma modalidade específica de trabalhadores, tornando-se, com isso, proletários das secas. Para tanto, procura-se acompanhar os diversos arranjos e desarranjos que compuseram suas formas de resistência em seus percursos e no cotidiano de trabalho – a que correspondiam, desde outro ponto de vista, a formas de arranjos e desarranjos do controle social por parte dos agentes do poder sobre essa composição de trabalhadores.

This thesis provides a historical review of the theoretical and practical influence of Protestant missionaries on the late Qing Chinese language reformers. The origins of the language reform movement have always been concealed in historical records. The missionaries’ contribution to this movement has almost entirely been forgotten. With a focus on the key figures in the language reform movement, including W.A. P. Martin, John Macgowan, Joseph Edkins, Lu Zhuangzhang, and Wang Bingyao, this thesis attempts to demonstrate the similarities between the missionaries’ views on the Chinese language and those of their Chinese assistants. The Chinese reformers’ imitations of the missionaries’ language experiments are also outlined. In the historical context of late Qing China, the Chinese reformers made language reform a way of enhancing the national strength of China. Thus, they made modifications to the original Romanized system and invented their own written forms of phonetic characters. With reference to the collaborations between China and the West, the thesis emphasizes Western influence as one of the crucial aspects of the origin of the language reform movement in China. This movement is still ongoing today with the widespread use of the pinyin input method in computers and smartphones. The thesis is divided into two chapters, analysing both the theoretical and the practical dimensions of language reform. It demonstrates how the missionaries’ critique of the perceived defects of the Chinese language and their practice of changing the linguistic situation in China strongly affected the views and practice of the Chinese reformers. It also offers a critical analysis of the Chinese reformers’ rationale, including their eagerness to advance the modernity of China. The first chapter discusses their views on the defects of the Chinese language in terms of its ideographic features, chaotic grammatical structure, and the discrepancy between speech and writing; it examines how their statements, proposals, and debates on these issues amounted to a discursive formation that defined the classical Chinese language as an inadequate instrument for China’s modernization project. I argue that the Chinese reformers accepted the missionaries’ phonocentric critique of the Chinese language and recognized the need to reform it in order to revitalize Chinese civilization. Through an examination of the genealogy of the missionaries’ influence on the practice of the early Chinese language reformers, particularly Lu Zhuangzhang and Wang Bingyao, I argue in the second chapter that the early stage of language reform in China sought its embodiment in the missionaries’ language practice: it was carried out through a combination of defence, argument, and negotiation between the Chinese reformers and the missionaries, eventually resulting in a compromise between reforming the language and preserving the cultural essence of China. With the knowledge and institutions that had been produced, the reformers’ final objective was to increase the literacy rate of the Chinese population, as this would thus strengthen the power of China as a modern nation-state. Finally, by revisiting the historical contribution of the late Qing language reformers, I argue that language reform in China is an unfinished project. / published_or_final_version / English / Master / Master of Philosophy

Con esta investigación nos aproximamos, en sus especificidades, a uno de los entramados más autoritarios de nuestra historia política y bajo el cual las dos principales organizaciones políticas multitudinarias: el Partido Aprista Peruano y el Partido Unión Revolucionaria (así como el Partido Comunista y otros movimientos políticos de oposición) se verán por acción de la dictadura autocrática-militar encabezada por Oscar R. Benavides, y establecida luego de la anulación de las elecciones de 1936, bajo un especialmente grave panorama de persecución y clandestinidad (...) Así pues, con la presente investigación se intenta tanto superar esas graves limitaciones historiográficas como dotar a nuestro enfoque histórico-político de los argumentos teóricos y procedimientos metodológicos no sólo más rigurosos sino también acordes a la renovación interdisciplinaria de las ciencias sociales.
