Unsuk Chin (b.1961), a Korean-born woman composer, was a student of Gyorgy Sandor Ligeti (1923-2006). Chin's work reflects the influence of Ligeti but also undeniably has its own style. This study investigates the six piano etudes so far published from 12 Piano Etudes (1995-2003) by Unsuk Chin and compares them with Ligeti's piano etudes to highlight the influence of the teacher on the student and to aid pianists in facing the unique technical challenges posed by both sets of etudes. The practice guide provided in this study for each specific technical difficulty requires a degree of patience from a student which, if followed, will enhance the performance.

Après la défaite rapide de la Yougoslavie face aux troupes combinées de l'Allemagne, de l'Italie et de leurs alliés en avril 1941, la presse britannique, dont l'avant-garde est représentée par le Times, le Manchester Guardian, et le Daily Herald, essaie de trouver une lueur d'espoir dans une Europe ayant sombré sous la domination de l'Allemagne nazie. À la fin de l'année 1941, les journaux anglais trouvent leur homme en la personne de Draza Mihailovic, commandant des troupes royalistes en Yougoslavie. À travers les deux premières années de l'occupation de ce pays balkanique, le triumvirat de la presse britannique construit une légende romantique autour de ce chef de résistance serbe, lui assignant tous les succès possibles. Or, vers la fin de l'année 1943, les journaux britanniques délaissent abruptement leur héros en faveur du chef communiste d'un mouvement de résistance yougoslave jusqu'alors méconnu en Grande-Bretagne. Jusqu'à la fin de la guerre en 1945, ils n'arrêteront pas d'appuyer Tito, ce "vrai" héros, et de déconstruire le mythe de Mihailovic et la personne du roi yougoslave Petar II. Cependant, la crise de Trieste viendra tester leur relation avec les nouveaux chefs de la Yougoslavie.

Par la présente recherche nous tentons de comprendre la croissance du mouvement pentecôtiste québécois dans les années soixante-dix et quatre-vingt. Dans une première section nous traitons les développements internes des Assemblées de la Pentecôte du Canada : leur méthodologie missionnaire, le programme FLITE, la fondation du Collège biblique Formation Timothée, les leaders principaux ayant contribué à l'expansion pentecôtiste, et la gérance d'un conflit culturel et politique qui a porté ombrage au réveil. Dans la deuxième section nous établissons le contexte socio-historique dans lequel la croissance du mouvement pentecôtiste a eu lieu. Nous abordons, dans la troisième section, la notion polysémique du réveil. Ainsi, nous montrerons que la compréhension pertinente de l'essor du mouvement implique de considérer celui-ci comme un réveil parmi d'autres apparus dans le cadre de l'éveil qu'était la Révolution tranquille.

Marta Traba (1923-1983), écrivaine et critique d’art argentino-colombienne, est principalement connue en Amérique latine pour ses écrits critiques, son engagement pour le développement de l’art moderne en Colombie, et plus largement pour sa « théorie de la résistance » qui prône dans les arts plastiques une défense des identités culturelles latino-américaines. Son œuvre littéraire, en revanche, est beaucoup moins connue. Or, elle est non seulement très riche, mais elle forme le pendant narratif à son œuvre critique, un ensemble de récits innervés, de manière plus ou moins profonde, des conceptions et de la culture trabiennes sur l’art. Il s’agit dès lors de reconsidérer ces deux pans de sa production écrite comme un tout cohérent, et de montrer les influences et les interactions entre sa critique d’art et sa littérature, mais également entre les arts plastiques qui forment sa culture artistique et ses écrits fictionnels. Il apparaît alors que Marta Traba conçoit et pratique son écriture critique comme une écriture « littérarisée » et, réciproquement et surtout, sa littérature comme une littérature « artialisée » : la valorisation constante du regard esthétique sur le monde et d’une sensorialité exacerbée dessine un idéal de contemplation tout au long de son œuvre littéraire ; les insertions continues d’une terminologie critique et de références aux œuvres d’art, sur un mode tantôt clairement didactique, tantôt subtilement ludique, invitent le lecteur à lire ses fictions et poèmes au prisme du sous-texte artistique qui enrichit leur sens ; enfin, le récit devient le lieu d’expérimentation des théories trabiennes de la « résistance », entre réaffirmation de la place de l’Amérique latine sur la carte de l’art mondial, mise à distance défensive des influences nord-américaines et réappropriation locale, par « transculturation », des modèles artistiques étrangers. L’étude de l’artialisation de la littérature trabienne est donc loin d’être l’analyse d’un simple procédé formel : elle dégage, nous semble-t-il, un véritable style trabien, miroir de l’écrivaine et de ses convictions. / Marta Traba (1923-1983), an Argentinian-Colombian writer and art critic, is most famous in Latin America for her critiques, her commitment to develop modern art in Colombia, and, more generally, for her “theory of resistance” which advocates the defence of the many cultural Latin-American identities in fine arts. Her literary work, however, is far less well-known. And yet, not only is it very rich, but it also constitutes the narrative counterpart to her critiques – a collection of tales innervated, to different degrees, with Traba’s notions on and knowledge of art. It is consequently about reconsidering these two sides of her written production as a consistent whole, and identifying the influences and interactions between her art critiques and her literary work, as well as between the fine arts which make up her artistic culture and her fictional writings.It then appears that Marta Traba devises and practices her critical writing “literarily” as she does, above all, her literary work “artistically”: the constant enhancement of the aesthetic eye on the world and of an intensified sensory experience shape an ideal of contemplation throughout her literary work; the continuous inserts of a critical terminology and of references to art works, sometimes in a clearly didactic mode, sometimes in a subtly playful manner, invite the reader to read her fiction stories and poems in the light of the artistic subtext which enriches their meaning; finally, the tale becomes the place where Traba’s theories of “resistance” are tested, at the crossroads of the re-affirmation of the place of Latin America on the map of international art, of the defensive distancing from North American influences, and of the local re-appropriation, by “transculturation”, of the foreign artistic models. The study of the artistic mutation of Traba’s literary work is therefore far from boiling down to the analysis of a mere formal process: from our point of view, it reveals an authentic style, Traba’s style, which is the mirror of the writer and her convictions.

Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), British Modernist writer whose search for authentic selves in the lives of the characters in her short stories, is reflected in her innovative style of writing in which she examines the interior consciousness of their minds. Mansfield questions the inauthentic lives of the characters, revealing that the roles they play are socially imposed forcing them to hide their true selves behind masks. The stories which have been chosen for this study focus on women characters (and men also) who grapple with societal prescriptions for accepted actions, and are rendered mute as a result. The women characters include all age groups and social classes. Some are young and impressionable (The Tiredness of Rosabel, The Little Governess and The Garden Party), others are married and older (Bliss, Prelude and Frau Brechenmacher attends a wedding ), while there are also middle-aged women in Miss Brill and The Life of Ma Parker. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

Sean O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy travels through the Irish revolutionary period and explores how this environment created a revolutionary Dublin where armed militants struggled to overthrow the authority and privileges of their British oppressors. Seeking to remove the colonial authority that had oppressed the Dublin population for so long, these revolutionaries fought, killed, and died in their quest for an independent Ireland. In this struggle, groups of armed men can be seen employing tactics that would only lead to the continued oppression of other sections of the Irish population. By connecting the Dublin Trilogy to his autobiographies, in which he highlights the importance of family as a supportive unit for the Dublin poor, I propose that O’Casey, in the Dublin Trilogy, warns that these ideological reproductions would eventually lead to the continued subjugation of Irish women and other members of the Irish population outside of the masculinist, militant identity supporting the Irish independence struggle. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

M. Machado, on the then President of the Republic Marshal Hermes da Fonseca and bureaucracy that tied the body of political support. Our study indicated that part of the so-called small press played a significant role in the development and dissemination of the contents of humorous political critique in the First Republic. As part of this process, the political satire of Juó Bananére not only fulfilled its role of social entertainment, but also has a critical function of load positioning and policy intervention. Due the particular historical juncture, the main issue of our work talkect to materials published by the periodic watching the harmony of all these satires with the political-matters agenda of the seminary O Pirralho and the oligarchies of São Paulo in the São Paulo defeat in the elections of 1910. Looking at the political satire from the years 1911 to 1915, under the administration of Hermes da Fonseca, this work drag the relevant debating about history, city, politics and humor discussing the work of Alexander R. M. Machado at the seminary O Pirralho / Esta pesquisa estuda o fenômeno da sátira política na cidade de São Paulo da Belle Epoque, mais especificamente a crônica irreverente do personagem cômico Juó Bananére, pseudônimo de Alexandre R. M. Machado, sobre o então Presidente da República Marechal Hermes da Fonseca e a burocracia que compunha seu corpo político de sustentação. Nosso estudo indicou que parte da chamada pequena imprensa desempenhou um papel significativo no desenvolvimento e na divulgação do conteúdo humorístico da crítica política na Primeira República. Como parte integrante desse processo, a sátira política de Juó Bananére cumpriu não só seu papel de entretenimento social como também adquiriu uma função crítica carregada de posicionamento e intervenção política. Em virtude da conjuntura histórica específica, a problemática central de nosso trabalho dialogou com materiais publicados no periódico observando a consonância dessas sátiras com a agenda político-programática do semanário O Pirralho e das oligarquias de São Paulo no contexto da derrota paulista nas eleições de 1910. Analisando a sátira política entre os anos de 1911 a 1915, período em que vige a administração de Hermes da Fonseca, este trabalho levantou as discussões pertinentes sobre a relação História, Cidade, Política e Humor discutindo a obra de Alexandre R. M. Machado no semanário O Pirralho

Se a obra de Orides, aproximando-se do fio condutor do trabalho de João Cabral pela impessoalidade, contenção, busca pela palavra exata e culto a um silêncio esfíngico, constrói um sujeito cognoscente como o resultado do olhar contemplativo da voz lírica, em seu ato de flagrar e registrar as coisas do mundo, transformando a apreensão em conhecimento analítico, a de Natália projeta como sujeito uma afirmação intensa do eu no discurso, em um olhar voltado para a gênese do indivíduo, promovendo, na consubstanciação narcisista da voz com a poeta, uma figura de linguagem necessária tanto para romper com a lógica (o absolutismo racionalista) e com o senso comum em relação a Deus quanto para defender o poeta, a poesia e a urgência de praticá-la valorizando-se o princípio da especificidade da arte, a memória literária em geral. Identificando, por um lado, a fragmentação e a aridez no estilo contido e esfíngico de Orides e, por outro, o enredamento e a força impulsiva de uma feiticeira no tom rebelde da linguagem de Natália, evita-se, desse modo, a tendência usual, em muitos dos estudos comparativos, de busca de analogias assentadas na semelhança. Não se constroem binarismos entre os poemas, mas articulações de modo mais aberto, favorecendo a capacidade de estabelecer relações e, assim, uma visão mais ampla da literatura, em uma aproximação intercontinental liberta das limitações dos estudos centrados em um único espaço. / This dissertation presents convergence between the poetry of the Brazilian author Orides Fontela (1940-1998) and the Portuguese author Natália Correia (1923- 1993). We seek to analyze from both their specific languages and their poetic positioning, the contrast concerning the construction of the subject as projection of meaning in the poem; this projection seen as poetic subject. The work of Orides has some similarities with the work of João Cabral due to its impersonal characteristics, self-restraint, quest for the proper word and reverence for a sphinx silence. It also creates a cognoscenti subject as consequence of the contemplative look of the poetic voice, a subject depicted while perceiving and registering the things of the world, changing his perception to analytical knowledge. On the other hand, Natália projects as subject an intense affirmation of the subject in the discourse, a look directed towards the genesis of the individual. Fostering, while gathering narcissist voice and poet, a figurative language required to break both with the logic (rational absolutism) and with what is generally accepted about God. Making use of this language, poet, poetry, literary memory in general, and the eagerness to write valuing the idea of purpose to art, are protected. We focused on one hand on the fragmentation and arid self-constrained sphinx style of Orides, and on the other hand on the entanglement and impulsive power of a witch written by Natália in a rebellious language, thus avoiding the search for analogies based on similarities, which is a common tendency in many comparative studies. It was not raised binary oppositions between the poems, but open articulations, favoring the capability to establish connections. Therefore, it was possible to have a clear vision of literature, and an intercontinental approach free from the limitations posed by studies centered in one space.
