Bergson’s perspective is highlighted in relation to the doctrines of Heraclitus and Parmenides in order to clarify the restorative effects of his interpretation, which renews important concepts of these philosophers at the same time as showing features of his future philosophy. We believe a deep study of Bergson’ s courses will contribute both to the research of his mature philosophy as well as to research in Greek philosophy / O trabalho a seguir se insere numa proposta geral que visa apresentar aspectos das filosofias de Heráclito e Parmênides através dos cursos ministrados por Bergson na Universidade de Clermont-Ferrand entre 1884 e 1898, período anterior a publicação de sua primeira obra Ensaio sobre os dados imediatos da conesciência. Ressaltaremos a perspectiva de Bergson em relação às doutrinas de Heráclito e Parmênides, de modo a tornar claros os efeitos restauradores de sua interpretação capaz de renovar os conceitos caros a esses filósofos, da mesma forma que torna patente traços de sua filosofia futura. Acreditamos que um estudo aprofundado dos cursos de Bergson contribui tanto para a pesquisa das obras de sua filosofia madura quanto para a pesquisa no campo da filosofia grega

Attentive to unexpected storylines, the subjective tone and the non-assertive nature of such narrative, this research seeks to understand it as an atypical voice in the context of the greater Brazilian press, for it avoids newscasting and its calamitous rhetoric, in light of Roland Barthes’ writings. Such concept is conceived in the field of literary criticism. Knowing that the Barthesian writing is defined in contrast to the myth and its rumor, in this paper we will consider both concepts useful to understand Gabeira’s discourse, especially the televisual one. We work with the hypothesis that, in this case, the journalist reveals the writer, especially since his anchoring in the televisual chronicle is preceded by an oeuvre with seven books, whose style is comparable to the one Gabeira currently dares to adopt on the screen. The state of the art involves comprehensive works on literary journalism, from the New Journalism, internationally led by journalists/writers such as Tom Wolfe, Truman Capote, Gay Talese, John Hersey to the kind of journalism dedicated to journalistic chronicles named the New Latin American Journalism, practiced by exponential names such as Martin Caparrós, Leila Guerriero, among others, and having in Brazil representatives such as Dorrit Harazim and Eliane Brum. The theoretical framework contains Barthes’ works, especially the first one that includes Writing Degree Zero and Mythologies, as well as his best presentations. The research corpus is made up of five editions of the Fernando Gabeira program, from the cable channel Globo News, broadcast between September 2013, when the attraction opened, and the first quarter of 2017, when closing the writing of this thesis. The choice of editions is made especially because this researcher believes that these productions are more closely connected to the propositions raised in this thesis. From the methodological point of view, the research is bibliographic and documental. The relevance of the work is connected to the use of the Barthesian Semiology, which is currently considered crucial for the understanding of the Medias, and also to televisual discourse, rarely targeted by the sophisticated analytical procedures of the author / Esta pesquisa está voltada para a narrativa jornalística de Fernando Gabeira. Atenta às pautas inesperadas, ao tom subjetivista e ao caráter não-assertivo dessa narrativa, busca entendê-la como uma voz atípica no contexto da grande imprensa brasileira, por furtar-se do noticiarismo e sua retórica calamitosa, à luz da escritura de Roland Barthes. Tal conceito é gestado no campo da crítica literária. Sabendo que a escritura barthesiana se define como contrapartida ao mito e seu rumor, aqui tomaremos ambos os conceitos barthesianos como produtivos para a compreensão do discurso gaberiano, principalmente o televisual. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que, nesse caso, o jornalista revela o escritor, tanto mais que sua ancoragem na crônica televisual é precedida de uma obra que soma 7 livros, de estilo comparável àquele que Gabeira ousa talhar atualmente no écran. O estado da arte envolve trabalhos abalizados sobre jornalismo literário, abarcando desde o new journalism, capitaneado internacionalmente por jornalistas/escritores como Tom Wolfe, Truman Capote, Gay Talese, John Hersey, até certo periodismo voltado à crônica jornalística, intitulado de Novo Jornalismo Latino-Americano, praticado por nomes exponenciais como Martin Caparrós, Leila Guerriero, entre outros, e tendo, no Brasil, representantes como Dorrit Harazim e Eliane Brum. Os referenciais teóricos compreendem a obra de Barthes, notadamente a primeira, que inclui O grau zero da escritura e Mitologias, e suas melhores apresentações. O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se de 5 edições do programa Fernando Gabeira, do canal a cabo Globo News, exibidas entre os meses de setembro de 2013, período da estreia da atração, e o primeiro trimestre de 2017, quando do fechamento da escrita da tese. A escolha das edições se dá, sobretudo, pelo fato de o pesquisador acreditar que essas produções se aproximam em maior grau às proposições suscitadas nesta tese. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é caracterizada como bibliográfica e documental. A relevância do trabalho prende-se à aplicação da semiologia barthesiana, hoje considerada crucial para o entendimento das mídias, ao discurso televisivo, raramente alvejado pelos sofisticados procedimentos analíticos do autor

Esta pesquisa investiga a construção do texto dramatúrgico Virginias, sobre a vida da escritora inglesa Virginia Woolf, que utilizou como metodologia de escrita o procedimento de apropriação, em que a obra e os diários pessoais da escritora foram fraturados pelo recorte e pela posterior colagem destes intertextos na nova criação. O trabalho articula os estudos sobre citação e apropriação de Antoine Compagnon, Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna, Kenneth Goldsmith e Marjorie Perloff, percebendo o procedimento como uma prática que tem a pós-modernidade como influência. A pesquisa utiliza como aportes teóricos sobre a condição pós-moderna, os autores Jean-François Lyotard e Linda Hutcheon e Cecília Salles sobre a gênese criativa. / This research investigates the construction of the play Virginias, about the life of English writer Virginia Woolf, which used as writing methodology the procedure of appropriation. This procedure consisted in fracturing the writer’s work and diaries by cutting them out and then pasting the pieces of intertext together in a new creation. The work articulates the studies about quotation and appropriation of Antoine Compagnon, Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna, Kenneth Goldsmith and Marjorie Perloff, and perceives the procedure as a practice that has postmodernity as influence. The research has as theoretical background about the postmodern condition the authors Jean-François Lyotard and Linda Hutcheon and Cecília Salles about creative genesis.

A presente dissertação procura retratar o problemático período das relações de Portugal com os Estados Unidos da América, compreendido entre Maio e Julho de 1941, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O incidente diplomático é causado, primeiramente, pelas insinuações da imprensa norte-americana sobre o interesse da ocupação preventiva dos Açores pelos EUA, o que seria, mais tarde, confirmado pelo discurso do Senador Pepper e, posteriormente, pelo discurso, de 27 de Maio de 1941, do Presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt. A soberania portuguesa sobre as ilhas do arquipélago dos Açores não foi mencionada em nenhum dos discursos, o que resultou numa enorme campanha diplomática portuguesa junto de Washington. Face a estes factos, o objectivo da dissertação é procurar, antes de mais, saber as repercussões de tais discursos, as relações diplomáticas dos dois países antes do incidente, mas, sobretudo, tentar estabelecer um ponto de ligação entre a ameaça dos EUA face à soberania portuguesa sobre as ilhas e a mobilização militar feita para as mesmas.

This thesis studies the development of social and legal institutions that have controlled the pattern of water development in Utah from 1847 to 1947. The thesis is divided into three parts to facilitate the study of the diverse influences on water development. The first part deals with the mormon church and pioneer influences and private development during the late 1800s. The second begins with statehood and records the changes in the state's institutions up to 1947. The third part is a summary of the entire process. It relates pioneer, private, and state influences to each other and the current (1989) water management structure to the 1947 structure.

<p>The purpose of this study is to examine who were given the opportunity to express their opinions in the government proposition concerning the future of the school system – particularly regarding the proposal that pupils do compulsory military service - submitted to the Swedish parliament 21 March 1941. Our focus is mainly on three parts of the proposition: the proposal to introduce shooting- and grenade practice for all pupils, the proposal to introduce an obligatory military leadership training course for teachers and the proposal to introduce an obligatory summer camp for all pupils.</p><p>Using primarily a qualitative method we examine how different opinions and views are expressed in the statements and utterances responding to the pending proposition and who the responders are. We will attempt to clarify who were considered to be undisputed authorities and experts, and whose opinions, for that reason, carried a lot of weight in the decision making process, comparing them to the statements and utterances submitted on a voluntary basis by non-experts. And finally, to what extent the opinions in the statements and utterances were allowed to guide the propositional work.</p><p>Results show that the statements and utterances were submitted by authorities, chapter, county administrative boards and religious, non-profit and political organizations as well as different types of schools, representatives from the Board of Education and elementary school boards not a part of county councils or other types of associations. Government authorities, chapter and county administrative boards were given priority in the proposition and it was their opinions that the proposition came to rely on. The rest were seen as “guiding” rather than deciding factors, and then only selectively, as they were generally lumped together and treated collectively. Most of the time, their opinions were not heard, and when they were it was usually to support and corroborate decisions already made by the decision making and implementing instances.</p>

In A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, James Joyce used the form or structure of his language to connote a meaning which supported the content of the text. The elements of form he used most often were sentence and paragraph structure, punctuation, rhythm, and classical rhetorical schemes. By manipulating these, he gained three benefits: he supplied an emotional appeal to the content, he represented his epistemological beliefs in his language, and he gave elegance to his prose. Background research reveals the influences that led to Joyce using form to support content. They include his Jesuit education, his own predisposition to the connotative aspects of language, and his literary work previous to Portrait. The examination of the text of Portrait exhibits the particular ways Joyce used the elements of form to fit content. Several of the highly emotional episodes of the story, the most likely to contain form-fitting-content examples, are examined in detail. Attention is given to rhetorical schemes of repetition because it is through these schemes that emotional pitch is adjusted in the story. Joyce's innovative use of syntactical structures to fit content, and his application of such poetic forms as rhythm and meter to simulate physical action are discussed. An examination of the end of the book, a section where rhetorical schemes and structural manipulation seems to disappear, shows how the apparent lack of connotative elements is appropriate to making a new form fit a new content. The use of form to support content in Portrait was an artistic commitment which Joyce began in Portrait. He would continue and intensify his commitment in all of his writing after Portrait. How Joyce wrote would always thereafter be determined by what he wrote about. / Graduation date: 1995
