The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate and compare, through a representative historical sampling of music, the concepts of tonality evolved by Paul Hindemith in his Craft of Musical Composition, Vol. I; and Heinrich Schenker in his Tonwille, MusijNkeael ische Theorien Fantasien, Das jeisterwerk in der Musik, and Per Freie Satz.5 When feasible, these two concepts will be compared with the conventional concept.

Paul Hindemith's compositions are, for the most part, contrapuntal; and since the construction of such a traditionally contrapuntal medium as the fugue was brought to such a high degree of musical expression in the fugal writing of J. S. Bach, it is the purpose of this thesis to compare Hindemith's fugal style with the standard set by J. S. Bach.

This study seeks to demonstrate that nature provided Frost an objective background against which he could measure the validity of human experience and gain a fuller understanding of it. The experiences examined with reference to the poetry include loneliness, anxiety, sorrow, and hope. Attention is given to the influence of Frost's philosophical skepticism upon his poetry. The study reveals that Frost discovered correspondences between nature and human experience which clarified his perspective of existence. The experiences of loneliness, anxiety, and sorrow were found to relate to Frost's feeling of separation from nature and from the source of existence. The experience of hope was found to relate to Frost's vision of the wholeness and unity of life, a vision which derives from humanity's common source with nature.

Because of the nature of the poetry, the interpretation of Banalites in this study has involved certain subjective decisions. These deductions were, nevertheless, colored by statements of the poet, the composer, and authorities on each. This is not to imply, however, that this is the only interpretation. Both poet and composer have given evidence that their creation requires a subjective response on the part of the interpreter. This is perhaps the greatest challenge offered by the work.

This study considers only one aspect of music of the twentieth century--that of dissonance. Through an analysis of harmonic tension in the twelve fugues of the "Ludus Tonalis" by Paul Hindemith, a two-fold significance is notable. First, consideration of the broad tendencies of modernism is necessary. second, with Hindemith as a chosen representative of certain aspects of the twentieth century style, the study attempts to show more specifically certain characteristics of the composer himself in the use and treatment of dissonance, one of the more technical features of style in modern music.

Orientadora: Rosa Fátima de Souza Chaloba / Banca: Norberto Dallabrida / Banca: Miriam Jorge Warde / Banca: Maria Teresa Miceli Kerbauy / Banca: Vera Teresa Valdemarin / Resumo: O Estado de São Paulo contava com apenas três ginásios públicos de ensino secundário até 1930: o da Capital, o de Campinas e o de Ribeirão Preto. A partir da década de 1930 se iniciou um processo de expansão da rede de estabelecimentos secundaristas, que se acentuou extraordinariamente após o fim da ditadura Vargas com o restabelecimento do Poder Legislativo e, por conseguinte, da ação dos deputados estaduais que viam na escola secundária uma grande oportunidade política, o que acarretou o aumento do número desses estabelecimentos de ensino para 474 ginásios públicos nas mais diversas localidades paulistas entre 14 de março de 1947 e 31 de janeiro de 1963, ou seja, em 04 governos: o de Adhemar Pereira de Barros; o de Lucas Nogueira Garcez; o de Jânio da Silva Quadros; e o de Carlos Alberto Alves de Carvalho Pinto. Sob um prisma quantitativo, esse processo de expansão iniciado na década de 1930 era algo impressionante e inédito até então na história da educação brasileira, sobretudo pela ação incisiva dos deputados estaduais, uma vez que a sistemática de criação de escolas, instituída no final da década de 1940, passava pela promulgação de lei aprovada na Assembleia Legislativa do Estado. No âmbito da historiografia da educação paulista pode-se afirmar que há uma lacuna a ser preenchida referente às ações e estratégias adotadas pelos Poderes Executivo e Legislativo estadual em torno da expansão da rede de estabelecimentos de ensino secundário que se instaurava nesse período.

From the 1930's onwards, a network expansion process of secondary schools began, which was extraordinarily accentuated after the end of the Vargas dictatorship, with the reestablishment of the Legislative Branch and, consequently, of the action of the state deputies who saw in secondary school a great political opportunity, which brought the increase of the educational establishments to 474 public gymnasiums in different locations of São Paulo between March 14, 1947 and January 31, 1963, in other words, in 04 governments: Adhemar Pereira de Barros; Lucas Nogueira Garcez; Jânio da Silva Quadros; and the Carlos Alberto Alves de Carvalho Pinto's government. From a quantitative point of view, this expansion process started in the 1930's was something impressive and unprecedented until then in the history of Brazilian education, especially by the incisive action of state deputies, once the system of school creation instituted at the end of the decade of 1940 passed by the promulgation of law approved in the Legislative Assembly of the State. In the context of the São Paulo's historiography education, we can affirm that there is a gap to be filled regarding the actions and strategies adopted by the State Executive and Legislative Branches around the network expansion of secondary schools that was established in that period. With the objective of carrying out a s... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

La comunicación es un proceso integral que vincula y articula a las personas. En la última década, los gobiernos de América Latina han incorporado estrategias de comunicación que colaboren con el logro de objetivos políticos en torno a las temáticas de gobernabilidad e inclusión social. En este documento se recupera la experiencia en comunicaciones emprendida por la Oficina General de Comunicación Social de la Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros, en los dos primeros años del gobierno de Ollanta Humala, así como los mecanismos de interacción entre el Estado, los medios y la sociedad civil a partir del uso del concepto de inclusión social en las comunicaciones, a la luz de las dinámicas sociales y las tecnologías de la información. Para ello, se abordan los principales problemas presentados en la gestión de la comunicación del Estado que darán pie a la propuesta de una Política de Comunicación para la Inclusión Social, como primer paso para la configuración de acciones de comunicación estratégica en la gestión pública de gobiernos democráticos. Como resultado, la política de comunicación presentada da cuenta de una articulación entre un concepto de gestión gubernamental con uno de gestión comunicativa, permitiendo poner relevancia el fomento de valores democráticos en el ejercicio político y contribuyendo al desarrollo ciudadano. / Communication is a comprehensive process linking people. In the last decade, the Latin American governments have incorporated communication strategies which contribute to the achievement of political objectives related to governance and social inclusion issues. This document talks about the communication experience undertaken by the General Office of Social Communication of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, in the first two years of the Ollanta Humala administration, and the interaction mechanisms among the State, the media and the civil society based on the use of social inclusion concept in communications, considering the social dynamics and the information technologies. To that end, the document addresses the main problems presented in the State’s communication management, which will result in the proposal of a Communication Policy for Social Inclusion, as a first step to configure the strategic communication activities in the public management of democratic governments. The communication policy reveals a link between one concept of government management and one of communication management; a fact that enables the relevance of democratic values in the political exercise and contributes to civic development. / Tesis

Esta dissertação propõe uma leitura do romance Admirável Mundo Novo (1932) de Aldous Huxley sob a luz dos conceitos de Zygmunt Bauman da Modernidade Líquida. A narrativa ocorre em uma Londres futurística no século 26, no ano 2540 de nossa Era Comum, ou – na narrativa no ano 632 AF (Após Ford). Subjacente ao cenário distópico de avanço tecnológico e organização altamente desenvolvida, porém, os temas discutidos no romance remetem à circunstância do tempo e lugar de sua produção, o início dos anos 1930, em um contexto de desenvolvimento industrial, tensão política e crise econômica. Nesta pesquisa, eu busco a resposta para a seguinte pergunta: “De quais maneiras a ficção de Huxley antecipa o tipo de sociedade seus leitores vivem no tempo presente, três-quartos de século após sua publicação? Com ajuda das teorias do Professor Zygmunt Bauman, eu construo minha interpretação das metáforas encontradas no romance, que prognosticam as atuais condições de capitalismo de mercado livre, consumismo, obsolescência programada que determinam a ética, a estética e a forma de pensar de nosso tempo presente. As hipóteses de Bauman concernem a liquidez do mundo atual, no qual nada deve durar muito. Esta premissa gera um grande número de consequências, tais como: fragilidade dos laços humanos, pensamento crítico superficial e supremacia dos contatos virtuais sobre ocontato de fato entre as pessoas. A dissertação está dividida em quatro capítulos. No primeiro, eu contextualizo o conceito de distopia. No segundo, eu trago a contextualização necessária sobre o tempo, a obra e o autor. No terceiro, eu introduzo os conceitos de Bauman sobre modernidade sólida e líquida e os conecto com o estudo de Admirável Mundo Novo. No capítulo IV, apresento minha leitura da obra. Ao final da pesquisa, espero encontrar respostas para a questão proposta estabelecendo inter-relações entre os aspectos ficcionais do romance e os traços sociais de nosso tempo atual. / The present thesis proposes a reading of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) in the light of Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of Liquid Modernity. The plot of the novel unfolds in the futuristic London of the 26th century, in the year 2540 of our Common Era, or – in the narrative – in the year 632 AF (After Ford). Underlying the dystopian scenario of technological advancement and highly developed organization, however, the themes discussed in the novel actually address the circumstances of the time and place of its own production, the beginning of the 1930’s, in a context of developing industrialization, political tension, and economic crises. In this research, I pursue the answer to the following question: “In what ways does Huxley’s fiction anticipate the kind of society its readers would be living in at our present time, three quarters of a century after its publication?” With the help of Professor Zygmunt Bauman’s theories, I build my interpretation of the metaphors found in the novel, that prognosticate the current conditions of free-market capitalism, consumerism, programmed obsolescence, that determine the ethics, the aesthetics and the ways of thinking of our present times. Bauman’s assumptions concern the liquidity of the contemporary world, where nothing is meant to last long. This premise generates a number of consequences such as overconsumption, frail human bonds, superficial critical thought, and supremacy of online over factual contacts among people. The thesis is devised in three chapters. In the first, I contextualize the concept of dystopia. In the second, I bring the necessary contextualization about the time, the work and the author. In the third, I introduce Bauman’s concepts of solid modernity and liquid modernity and connect them with the study of Brave New World. Finally. In Chapter IV, I present my reading of the novel. At the end of the research, I expect to find the answers to the posed question by establishing critical interrelations between the fictional aspects of the novel and the social features ongoing in our present time.

La presente investigación propone una lectura amplificada sobre la obra de la artista Teresa Margolles. Su trabajo ha sido investigado en relación con el cadáver y con la muerte violenta, aspectos que se consideran importantes pero insuficientes. Se propone hacer una presentación de su obra de modo que abarque la totalidad de su trabajo que incluye el cuerpo vivo y la señalización del problema social de marginación, segregación y precarización de la vida en el contexto político, económico y social de México contemporáneo. Se ha planteado una ruta interpretativa que mediante el análisis de un corpus de obras seleccionado y ordenado estratégicamente demuestre la construcción de una necropolítica situada y específica en su obra, así como la incorporación del cuerpo vivo como parte de una tarea crítica de señalización de las causas sociales y políticas de la violencia para el caso de México. Para ello se ha aplicado diversas teorías filosóficas de poder que han permitido evidenciar la relevancia política y de crítica social del trabajo de Teresa Margolles. Asimismo se ha propuesto el análisis de teorías de arte y de crítica institucional que permitieron demostrar que el trabajo de la artista también ha implicado la crítica al aparato institucional del arte contemporáneo. Así, se ha puesto énfasis en su rol y agencia como artista que realiza una suerte de desmontaje de un mapa social establecido para revelarlo en crisis. / Tesis
