Ce travail explore la topologie de la symbolique du nationalisme français à travers la figure de Jeanne d'Arc, dans l'oeuvre de Maurice Barrès, Autour de Jeanne d'Arc (1916), et celle de Léon Bloy, Jeanne d'Arc et l'Allemagne (1915). Ces deux textes sont des artefacts culturels de la Grande Guerre, et leur convocation tutélaire de Jeanne d'Arc, comme figure identitaire française, fait émerger deux modes de penser, deux visions de l'histoire et deux conceptions de la nation qui révèlent d'irréductibles oppositions idéologiques au sein de la droite conservatrice. Notre parcours suit les micro-transformations discursives du topos Jeanne d'Arc, en prise directe avec le texte. Ce «pas-à-pas» révèle que 1'émergence de Jeanne génère une réarticulassions du fonds mémoriel national qui s'inscrit chez Barrès, dans l'ordre nouveau d'une France régénérée par la guerre, alors que pour Bloy, i l trace une topologie de la dégénérescence, fondee sur une vision totalisante où le retour à Dieu détermine le sens unique de l'histoire. En tant que production symbolique, la portée générale de Jeanne d'Arc en 1914 soulève, paradoxalement, la problématique de la construction de 1'individualité: le combat de Jeanne au front de 14 passe par une revanche franco-française dans une République "déracinée" et déchristianisée -- mais non désacralisée. En effet, le mysticisme frelatéé de la Jeanne barrésienne et le messianisme millénariste de la Jeanne bloyenne traduisent, chez nos deux auteurs, la volonté d'un retour à un âge d'or de la nation. Notre analyse montre que cette pensée de la fracture s'articule sur un mouvement de transfert du politique dans la sphère du mysticisme. Les forces cohésives qui autorisent la jonction des destinées de Jeanne et de la France sont ici déployées au niveau du discours, à travers leurs déplacements, leurs réarticulassions, leurs discontinuités. Elles ne sont pas renvoyées à une idéalité conceptuelle. L'enjeu de 1'analyse est de constituer des réseaux de sens et de circonscrire progressivement des séries discursives récurrentes qui nous donneront, en fin de parcours, une idée de la francité en 1914, c'est-à-dire, pour Barrès et Bloy, celle d'une nation en mal d'origines. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

Critics and historians of science fiction widely recognize the genre's importance as a forum for political ideas during the 1950s. But the political role of science fiction diminished during the 1960s, overshadowing the ongoing involvement of sf writers in future-related debates. This paper employs biography, autobiography, memoir, archival papers, recordings, and secondary sources to demonstrate that sf writers continued to discuss the future and its potential problems after the 1950s. Judith Merril and Isaac Asimov, two giants in science fiction, form the core of this paper's focus. Merril and Asimov began to discuss the future in essays, interviews, and documentaries in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, Merril and Asimov were examining the then-emerging problems of overpopulation and planetary ecology in mainstream non-fiction. Merril and Asimov demonstrate that sf writers still addressed political and social issues in the 1960s and early 1970s - even if their involvement increasingly took place outside the boundaries of science fiction literature. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

No. of bitstreams: 1 jose_barbosa_silva.pdf: 2171604 bytes, checksum: 1df2a1db8a6d4a7c4db118db95382192 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-09-23 / This research aims to analyze the challenges and prospects of interreligious dialogue from the innovations proposed by Vatican II, as well as its implications in several documents in the post-conciliar period, particularly in the Intruction Dialogue and Proclamation. Faced with the failure of the Magisterium of the Church in addressing the issue, the controversies raised in the various spheres of ecclesial institution, Theology of Religious Pluralism by Jacques Dupuis can better locate the problem by proposing that all religions are included in God's plan of salvation for all mankind, recognizing them as ordinary paths of salvation. The attitude of the Church in relation to non-Christian religions has been marked by ambiguity, breaking thus with the pastoral guidelines issued by the Council that urges Christians to discover the positive values of these religious traditions. In this sense, the Declaration Dominus Iesus, will open a crusade against the theologians supporters of pluralism in order to stop the advance of this new paradigm for theology, fomenting a speech with exclusivist tendencies that fails to engage in a dialogue with the modern world, plural and secular. / Este trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os desafios e perspectivas do diálogo inter-religioso a partir das inovações propostas pelo Concílio Vaticano II, como também seus desdobramentos em vários documentos no período pós conciliar, particularmente na Instrução Diálogo e Anúncio. Ante a insuficiência da postura do Magistério eclesial na abordagem da questão, das controvérsias suscitadas nas diversas esferas da instituição eclesial, a teologia do pluralismo religioso de Jacques Dupuis poderá situar melhor o problema, ao propor que as religiões sejam incluídas no projeto salvífico de Deus para toda a humanidade, reconhecendoas como caminhos ordinários de salvação. A atitude da Igreja em relação às religiões não cristãs tem sido marcada pela ambiguidade, rompendo, assim, com as orientações pastorais emanadas do Concílio que exorta os cristãos a descobrir os valores positivos destas tradições religiosas. Neste sentido, a Declaração Dominus Iesus, abrirá uma verdadeira cruzada contra os teólogos adeptos do pluralismo, a fim de impedir o avanço deste novo paradigma para a teologia, favorecendo um discurso com tendências exclusivistas que não consegue dialogar com o mundo moderno, plural e secularizado.

An examination of the influences on twentieth-century wind music would be incomplete without the consideration of composer, organist, pianist, conductor, teacher, and critic Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979). Students from the United States began studying with Boulanger between World War I and World War II, and continued to travel to study with her for over fifty years. The respect awarded this legendary French woman was gained as a result of her effectiveness as a teacher, her influence on the development of each student's unique compositional style, and her guidance of an emerging American musical style. The correlation between the teacher's lessons and the compositional output of her students must be explored. Boulanger did not compose specifically for winds, and she did not encourage her students to compose for the wind symphony. However, this document will outline the influence that this powerful pedagogue exerted over the creation of repertoire by her students by providing insight into the pedagogical style and philosophical foundations of Boulanger as reflected in the literature and by the writings, comments, and compositions of three successful students who composed literature for the wind symphony: Aaron Copland (1900-1990), Leslie Bassett (b. 1923), and Donald Grantham (b. 1947). Three significant works for winds will be considered including Copland's Emblems, Bassett's Lullaby for Kirsten, and Grantham's Variations on an American Cavalry Song.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This ethno a h explores the mean in s of personhood and agency in Maneberg a township located on the Cape Flats, in Cape Town South Africa. The township was a site of relocation for people who were classified coloured during the apartheid era and who were forcibly removed from newly declared white areas in the city in the 1960s I argue that despite the old apartheid state's attempts to reify the meaning of colouredness through racial legislation,\the residents of Manenberg created their own meanings of personhood, agency and community within the bureaucratic, social and economic interstices of the apartheid systems Yet at the same time they also reinstated the very structural processes at the heart of their racial and gendered subjugation. I indicate how the cohesiveness of the Rio Street community in Manenberg, the survival of its residents and their validation as respectable mothers, tough men and good daughters hinged on and effloresced from a moral economy that articulated with the structural location of coloured women in the apartheid economy and racial bureaucracy. I draw upon the writings of Fortes (1969), Giddens (1984) and Karp (1995) to elaborate upon the concept personhood in Manenberg. I show how the local understandings of personhood provide residents with agency, whilst connecting the latter to township history and apartheid social structure, thereby illustrating its limits. The concept personhood captures the duality of existence of Manenberg residents and maps out their negotiation and contestation about personhood and agency. I use Hobart (1990) and Kratz (2000) to indicate that lagency in Manenberg is complex and is situationally determined~Finally I utilise the theoretical insights of Donham (1999) to indicate that Manenberg's social, economic and historical location in the South African context allows for several notions of personhood to prevail in the township. These notions are grounded in the multiple, interconnected, hierarchically ordered, competing cultural and economic systems of production at the local, national and global levels. This complex location of Manenberg residents generates multiple constructs of inequality, power and agency that impinge upon each other and that are reflected in the contestations about personhood in diverse township spaces.

The compositions of Steve Reich and György Ligeti both contain periodic rhythmic structures. Although periods are not usually easily perceived, the listener may perceive their combinations in a hierarchy of rhythmic structures. This document is an attempt to develop an analytical method that can account for this hierarchy in periodic music. I begin with an overview of the features of Reich's and Ligeti's music that contribute to the property of periodicity. I follow with a discussion of the music and writings of Olivier Messiaen as a precedent for the periodic structures in the music of Reich and Ligeti. I continue by consulting the writings of the Israeli musicologist Simha Arom and describing the usefulness of his ideas and terminology in the development of my method. I explain the working process and terminology of the analytical method, and then I apply it to Reich's Six Pianos and Ligeti's Désordre.

Im Archiv der Radeberger Exportbierbrauerei fand sich in sehr schlechtem Zustand ein Ordner mit der Aufschrift „Brauerei- und Mälzerei-Berufsgenossenschaft 1.1.09“, inliegend die Rechenschaftsberichte des Genossenschaftsvorstandes über die Jahre 1908 und 1912, ein Bericht über deren ordentliche Genossenschafts-Versammlung 1913 im alten Rathaussaal zu Dortmund sowie die Geschäftsberichte der Sektion VIII (Sachsen/Thüringen) der Genossenschaft über die Jahre 1915 und 1918. Ihnen wurden Statistik und Personalia entnommen, weil sie nicht nur Kenntnisse über den damaligen Stand des Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutzes sowie des Versicherungswesens, sondern vor allem auch über die in der Genossenschaft organisierten Betriebe des Braugewerbes und ihres Führungspersonals vermitteln. Das gilt auch für die im gleichen Ordner abgelegten Unfall-Anzeigen über verunfalltes Brauereipersonal der Radeberger Exportbierbrauerei zwischen 1909 und 1923, die in einer Tabelle zusammengefaßt wurden. So wird zugleich Zeugnis über den damaligen technischen Zustand der Brauerei als auch über einen vergessenen Teil ihrer Mitarbeiter abgelegt, die schließlich nach ihren Möglichkeiten zum guten Ruf der Brauerei beigetragen haben.

This thesis is a study of national security decision making in the Ford Administration. The subject for study is the Kissinger- Schlesinger controversy in the Ford Administration. The thesis will attempt to prove that the differences that emerged over issues of national policy were due to deep theoretical disagreements as to the nature of the international system, the utility of power in the nuclear age and the means by which to preserve detente. An examination of the substantive policy differences will be preceded by an examination of the conceptual disagreements between the Secretaries on topics that are fundamental to any study of international politics. Studies on decision making in intemational politics will be used to show that each man had a different perception of the role that the United States should have in the international system and the usefulness of America's strategic arsenal for the preservation of peace. After having defined the theoretical differences between Kissinger and Schlesinger on issues in international politics, an analysis of the substantive policy disagreements between the two Secretaries will show that they can be directly related to each man's conception of the international system. Policy differences between the two will be shown to have evolved out of disagreements over policy goals, and not policy implementation. Any study of individual decision making in defense and foreign affairs stresses the importance of individual policy makers and of issues. Foreign nations perceive changes in foreign and defense policy goals when new leadership emerges with which they are uncomfortable. It will be shown, through an analysis of the foreign reaction to the Kissinger-Schlesinger controversy, that foreign nations expressed concern for the outcome of this policy split. In particular, it will be shown that the matter was of great interest to the Soviet Union. In conclusion the thesis will reiterate the point that national security decision making in the Ford Administration was unab1e to reach a compromise on issues of policy because of funamental differences between the Secretaries of State and Defense on detente, the definition of the national security in the nuclear age and the negotiating strategy that America should follow with the Soviets on arms limitations. These differences on policy were made inevitable due to differing models that each Secretary had on the nature of the international system. The study of their individual perceptions will help to give one an understanding as to why the policy disagreements made compromise impossible.
