Orientador: Eduardo Romero de Oliveira / Banca: Paulo Roberto Masseran / Banca: Edvaldo Corrêa Sotana / Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar e refletir a função político-cultural que tiveram os Cine-Teatros Cuiabá e Goiânia, a partir do processo de intervenções urbanas. No início dos anos de 40 as Interventorias em Mato Grosso e Goiás construíram os cineteatros nas capitais centro-oestinas, edifícios incluídos nos projetos de modernização das cidades; no caso de Goiânia, o cineteatro fazia parte das obras institucionais para construção da nova capital. Partindo do conceito de invenção de tradições proposto por Eric Hobsbawm almeja-se analisar o processo ocorrido nos estados mencionados enquanto parte fundamental para a política estado-novista de Getúlio Vargas, em que se observa a cultura como elemento intrínseco para o projeto de modernização cuiabano e goianiense. Neste contexto, a Marcha para o Oeste fora um projeto importante por compor o ideal de colonização de não-índios enquanto parte fundamental da ideia de progresso construída - sobretudo pela propaganda - sobre os dois Estados. As intervenções urbanas em Cuiabá iniciadas no final dos anos 30 e continuadas até 1945 colocam em questão os modernos projetos urbanísticos e arquitetônicos para uma cidade de origem colonial. Em Goiânia, as intervenções emergiram inteiramente por concepções modernas. As principais fontes de pesquisa foram os periódicos; peças teatrais levadas aos palcos dos espaços em questão e também a própria materialidade dos edifícios. Pretende-se com este trabalho contribuir para se (re)pensar o perío...

In the early 1940's the state government of Mato Grosso and Goiás built the movies theaters in their capitals, buildings included in the projects of the cities modernization; in Goiânia's case, the movie theater was part of the institutional works for the new capital construction. Based on the concept of invention of tradition proposed by Eric Hobsbawm, aims to analyze the process occurred in the mentioned states as a key part for Getúlio Vargas' policy of New State, where culture poses as an intrinsic element for the modernization project of Cuiabá and Goiânia. In this context, the March to the West was an important project in order to compose the ideal of non-Indian settlement as a fundamental part of the constructed idea of progress - mainly by advertising - on the two states. Urban interventions in Cuiabá began in the late 1930's and continued until 1945 questioning the modern urban and architectural designs for a city of colonial origin. In Goiania, interventions emerged entirely by modern conceptions. The main sources of research were periodicals; plays brought up to stage on the spaces in question and also the very materiality of buildings. The objective of this work is to give a contribution to (re)think the New State period in the Brazilian Midwest, bringing up to debate the very spaces for culture in a propose of reading among the crossroads of history, architecture and theater / Mestre

This dissertation approaches the work of South African/Botswanan novelist Bessie Head, especially the novel A Question of Power, as positioned within the critical framework of the postcolonial paradigm, the genius of which accommodates both African and African American literature without recourse to racial essentialism. A central problematic of postcolonial literary criticism is the ideological stance postcolonial authors adopt with respect to the ideology of the metropolis, whether on the one hand the stances they adopt are collusive, or on the other oppositional. A key contested concept is that of universality, which has been widely regarded as a witting or unwitting tool of the metropolis, having the effect of denigrating the colonial subject. It is my thesis that Bessie Head, neither entirely collusive nor oppositional, advocates an Africanist universality that paradoxically eliminates the bias implicit in metropolitan universality.

The evolution of twentieth century American music involves much more than the continuation of European tradition. The music of black Americans before and after the turn of the century had a profound impact on the musical sensibility of American culture in general. Additionally, the fledgling popular music publishing industry had a dramatic effect on the course of "classical" tradition. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the music of George Gershwin. Gershwin's importance in the history of American art music is undisputed. Why his music sounds the way it does is less understood. This paper considers the popular and folk genres that most influenced the young caiposer, and traces specific stylistic elements through their various popular and folk incarnations of the previous thirty years into Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue of 1924.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg, 1993. / This dissertation examines the work of Bessie Head with a view to sophisticating prevailing understandings of her texts which tend to concentrate on Head's place in a tradition of African women writers. Current critical works emphasise selected aspects, of Head's biography and assume her presentation of the 'tradition' and 'orality' of Serowe to be accurate. We argue in this dissertation that Head has constructed and manipulated concepts of 'tradition' and 'orality' in her texts to suit both her intellectual concerns and her fictional intentions. Broadly these are to present her works as the recorded history of an 'oral African' society. Head's six novels as well as aspects of her letters and interviews are examined in order to demonstrate this assertion. / AC2017

La presente tesis tiene como objeto de estudio las tensiones entre la represión sexual, psicológica y afectiva, y la muerte real o simbólica en la narrativa amorosa de Horacio Quiroga (Salto, Uruguay 1878 – Buenos Aires, Argentina 1937). Sostenemos que estas tensiones responden a dos aspectos determinantes: el primero, un contexto histórico, cultural, político y literario que determinó a la sociedad como una suerte de máquina en la que cada persona debía representar de manera integral a un actor social, al cual le correspondía un rol que cumplir, y donde a su vez había conductas vinculadas a actores sobrantes que debían ser eliminados. El segundo aspecto, a factores biográficos. Sostenemos que la narrativa de Quiroga reproduce acciones y eventos vinculados muy estrechamente a su propia experiencia vital y que las corrientes ideológicas y literarias a las que la voz narrativa se circunscribe o proyecta –el modernismo, romanticismo, cientificismo, psicoanálisis, etc…- son vehículos que le permiten expresar e una sensibilidad particular frente l a la muerte, caracterizada por una actitud trágica, reactiva e incluso virulenta ante la vida.

El siguiente trabajo busca demostrar que la novela Cobra de Severo Sarduy se construye como una reinterpretación artística de los tres registros lacanianos: imaginario, simbólico y real. Para ello, se analizará, a través de tres partes, los tres capítulos de la novela como paralelos a dichos registros. En la primera parte, el travesti Cobra y el Teatro Lírico de muñecas, cabaret donde él vive, se presentan como representaciones del registro imaginario, en donde las apariencias de la imagen priman y puede existir una armonía previa a la introducción de la norma simbólica. En la segunda parte, se estudiará a Cobra, ahora totalmente masculinizado, como un sujeto que busca adaptarse a la sociedad heternormativa. Para ello, contará con el apoyo de un grupo de jóvenes forajidos quienes le enseñan cómo debe comportarse un hombre dentro de la sociedad. El registro simbólico se hace presente a través de estos amigos, ya que ellos lo regularán y le plantearán los límites de lo que es aceptado dentro del simbólico heteronormativo, sistema al que Cobra nunca podrá adaptarse, lo cual lo llevará a una muerte prematura. En la tercera parte, se presentarán tres interpretaciones de lo que es lo real, basados en textos de Zizek, Stavrakakis y Recalcati. Sobre la base de dichas interpretaciones, se tratará de interpretar el “Diario indio”, capítulo final de la novela, el cual se presenta como una organización de textos inconexos. Finalmente, cada uno de los capítulos de esta tesis cierra con una reflexión sobre el género, problema presente en toda la novela, y su relación con los registros lacanianos.
