Tomam-se como referência as manifestações culturais de origem africana representadas no livro, em consonância com teorias pautadas sob uma ótica direcionada à conexão entre a subjetividade literária e a objetividade histórica, tendo como referência os conceitos de História Social, propostos por Peter Burke, a ideia de cultura de Terry Eagleton e a identidade cultural, de Stuart Hall. Esses instrumentos possibilitam a observação da presença africana como elemento de composição de uma identidade cultural na Amazônia, sob três aspectos: o primeiro, relacionado ao lirismo, demonstrado, sobretudo, nos poemas “Mãe Preta” e “Pai João”; o segundo, direcionado à musicalidade, observada em poemas como “Batuque” e “Alma e ritmo da raça”; e o terceiro versa sobre a religiosidade, apresentada em poemas como “Toiá Verequête” e “Oração da Cabra Preta”. Destes três aspectos, o que mais despertou nossa atenção foi a religiosidade, em especial quanto à relação entre sagrado e profano e à visão de bem e mal, muito evidentes na obra. Os resultados obtidos dão-nos a ideia de que, pela leitura das narrativas de memória do autor e de sua relação com o ambiente em que viveu, as influências do meio na criação artística do poeta e na produção de uma obra voltada para as manifestações culturais contribuem, significativamente, para a melhor compreensão da presença negra na cultura brasileira. / This dissertation is the product of an analytical study of the book of poems Batuque, of Bruno de Menezes with a focus on narratives of memory. Used as a reference, the cultural manifestations of African origin represented in the book in accordance with the theories guided under an optical connection-oriented between literary subjectivity and objectivity in history, supported on the concepts of social history proposed by Peter Burke, on the idea of culture of Terry Eagleton and cultural identity of Stuart Hall. These instruments allow observation of the African presence as an element of the composition of a cultural identity in the Amazon, in three aspects: the first, related to the lyricism, demonstrating especially in the s poems “Mãe Preta” and “Pai João”; the second directed to musicality, observed in poems like “Batuque” and “Alma e ritmo da raça” and the third concerns the religiosity, presented in poems like “Toiá Verequête” and “Oração da Cabra Preta”. These three aspects, what else arouse our attention was the religiosity, especially regarding the relationship between the sacred and the profane and the vision of good and evil, very evident in the work. The results obtained give us the idea that by reading the narrative memory of the author and its relation to the environment in which he lived, the environmental influences on the artistic creation of the poet and the production of a work focused on the cultural manifestations contribute significantly, for better understanding of the black people, present in the Brazilian culture. / Cette composition est le produit d'une étude analytique du livre de poèmes Batuque, de Bruno Menezes, en mettant l’accent sur les récits de la mémoire, en prenant comme référence les manifestations culturelles d’origine africaine qu’il représente, en ligne avec les théories guidées dans une optique dirigée à la connexion entre la subjectivité littéraire et l’objectivité historique, soutenue par les concepts de l’histoire sociale proposé par Peter Burke, en idée de culture de Terry Eagleton; et en identité culturelle de Stuart Hall. Ces instruments permettent l’observation de la présence africaine comme un élément de la composition d’une identité culturelle en Amazonie, à trois égards : d’abord, liée au lyrisme démontré en particulier dans les poèmes “Mãe Preta” et “Pai João”; le second dirigé à la musicalité, vue dans des poèmes comme “Batuque” et “Alma e ritmo da raça” ; et la religiosité, présentée dans des poèmes comme “Toiá Verequête” et “Oração da Cabra Preta”. De ces trois aspects , la religiosité a éveillé notre attention, en particulier en ce qui concerne à la relation entre le sacré et le profane, et à la vision du bien et du mal, très évident dans le travail. Les résultats nous donnent l’idée que la lecture de la mémoire narrative de l’auteur, et leur relation avec l’environnement dans lequel il vivait, les influences environnementales sur la création artistique du poète, et la production d’un travail axé sur les événements culturels contribuent de manière significative à une meilleure compréhension de la présence noire dans la culture brésilienne.

Paul Hindemith traveled to London in 1936 intending to give the British premiere of his concerto for viola and chamber orchestra titled Der Schwanendreher on 22 January. The premiere--and much else--was put into question a few minutes before midnight on 20 January 1936, however, when King George V passed away. The next day, Hindemith worked from 11:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. composing Trauermusik (Music of Mourning) for solo viola and string orchestra as a tribute to the recently deceased King of England. Thus, the circumstances surrounding the compositional origin of this piece invite a discussion of mourning in both a historical and musical context. In this paper, I will touch on issues such as how mourning defines us as humans and how emotions associated with mourning can be represented in music and experienced by the listener. I will illustrate how mourning helps us to understand the meaning of Trauermusik when it was written and first performed in 1936, following the death of King George V. To do this I will use Maurice Blanchot's ideas from his La Communauté inavouable, specifically his discussion of how death and mourning help to both define humans and bring them together into a community. Having established this critical framework, I will then provide a hermeneutic reading of Trauermusik, using analytical insights based on Hindemith's use of the 0167 pitch collection as my evidence. At the heart of my thesis is the belief that combining both historical insights and detailed analytical knowledge of Trauermusik will heighten the listener's experience of the piece to a greater extent than either perspective could on its own. / text

Ce mémoire porte sur la réactualisation de la vanité dans la pratique contemporaine. L'objectif principal est de définir et d'examiner les tenants et les aboutissants de la vanité contemporaine en général et celle pratiquée par les artistes en particulier. La démarche empruntée pour ce mémoire examine le développement de la vanité depuis le XVIIe siècle ainsi que les différents enjeux qui sous-tendent cette stratégie de représentation. Cette étude est divisée en trois chapitres. Le premier chapitre définit les fondements de la vanité historique en se questionnant sur les différents liens qui unissent les arts au thème de la mort. Le deuxième chapitre traite des mutations historiques, sociales, politiques et économiques, et questionne la portée et les enjeux contemporains des figures proposant une apologie du réel, du vécu et du banal. La question de l'autoréflexivité est abordée et met en lumière les contradictions et les paradoxes de la vanité. Le troisième chapitre met l'accent sur une analyse comparative entre les vanités historiques et contemporaines, en vue de comprendre comment les œuvres s'interpellent et se répondent entre elles. L'objectif qui se profile derrière cette étude comparative est de relever les ressemblances et les dissemblances entre les vanités d'hier et celles d'aujourd'hui. Les assises de la vanité sont les mêmes, mais de nouveaux éléments élargissent son répertoire en raison notamment de l'apparition de nouveaux médiums comme ceux de l'installation et de la vidéo. La vanité n'est pas réductible à la représentation d'une image spécifique, par exemple un crâne, elle se vit maintenant à travers l'expérience du déplacement et de la représentation de l'image en mouvement. Les grands conflits mondiaux qui ont ébranlé le XXe siècle ont modifié fondamentalement les conceptions vis-à-vis de la vie et de la mort. La vanité constitue une référence indéniable pour comprendre la nature de ces changements en reflétant les idées véhiculées par la société et la politique. Les travaux de Jean-François Lyotard sur la culture postmoderne jouent un rôle important dans ce regard porté sur les enjeux propres à notre rapport à la nature, à la société et à la culture. Cette étude est une mise en perspective de la vanité contemporaine et réexamine la vanité historique à travers ses avatars contemporains. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : nature morte, vanité historique, vanité contemporaine, Nelson Henricks, Patrick Bernatchez, Spring Hurlbut

This thesis examines the methods through which Gail Anderson-Dargatz and Ann-Marie MacDonald construct region in their novels The Cure for Death by Lightning and Fall on Your Knees. These texts, like all successful regional novels, describe more than geography. Their regions are also functions of time. I introduce the term "temporal region" to describe the spaces created by this interdependence of time and place. I then focus upon the specifics of descriptive and narrative approach that lead to the convincing portrayal of the Shuswap and Cape Breton Island in the texts. Anderson-Dargatz and MacDonald direct attention to the foddways of their regions, expressing the connection between consumption choices and a society's historical and physical location. The authors also articulate their regions by highlighting cultural diversity in the areas they describe. In this way they deny the social homogeneity more sentimental regional texts often rely upon. Finally, the novelists use an appropriately Canadian method of regional opposition to define their temporal regions according to that which they are not ~ they are not American, glamorous, or urban. They therefore must be Canadian, quotidian, and rural.

The last years of the twentieth century have been characterized by an increased presence of women in Hispanic poetry, who inevitably brought forth a new poetic language. Typical of this new expression are the Spaniard Ana Rossetti and the Peruvian Rocio Silva Santisteban, who give free rein to their emotions and desires in their poetic texts, which reflect love as both eroticism and joyful sexuality. In their poetry the body becomes the instrument for the fulfillment of desire and the production of erotic states. Thus, love is despised almost innocently but through the use of Kitsch as pop songs and advertising slogans, love is rehabilitated and the pleasure-death relation is seen in multiple perspectives.

C.S. Lewis és un autor generalment interpretat dins un corrent platònic o neoplatònic tant pel que fa als seus textos narratius com als assagístics. El que planteja aquesta tesi és una altra presentació. És a dir, se li dóna la volta perquè aparegui en tant que aristotèlic. Hi ha molts elements per sostenir aquesta posició, i aquí s'analitzen amb una remissió contínua a textos d'Aristòtil i a la seva filosofia. Tanmateix, abans d'entrar en matèria hi ha una biografia esquemàtica de Lewis per posar en context el lector.Així, els quatre punts fonamentals de l'aristotelisme de Lewis són:1. L'assumpció de la doctrina de l'acte d'Aristòtil. Aquí la divisió és triple: l'acte com a moviment, l'acte com a forma i l'acte com a operació.2. La interpretació de l'acte com a acció política. Aquesta part té una divisió doble: el bé com a acte polític i la perversió de la ciència en un cientisme que desemboca en totalitarisme polític.3. L'acceptació del finalisme natural aristotèlic enfront de les doctrines materialistes. Es tracten les nocions de teleologisme, atzar, selecció natural i evolucionisme, entre d'altres.4. L'enfrontament amb el relativisme contemporani mitjançant l'aristotelisme. Aquí trobem tres punts: la moral objectiva enfront del relativisme moral, el relativisme epistemològic i la filosofia futura, i la recuperació de l'humanisme clàssic.Tot i així, no convé oblidar que hi ha elements platònics innegables en les obres de Lewis, i s'analitzen en un apèndix de quatre punts:1. Els elements estrictament narratius.2. La dimensió espiritual o quarta dimensió.3. La memòria i la reminiscència.4. Les quatre virtuts cardinals d'arrel platònica.Finalment, s'analitza la repercussió de Lewis al món actual, gairebé mig segle després de la seva mort, sota tres punts:1. Repercussió teològica. És la més estesa per motius religiosos.2. Repercussió literària. No és massa profunda, malauradament.3. Repercussió filosòfica i política. No ha estat gens analitzada, i d'aquí que s'hagi redactat un treball com aquest. / OF THE DOCTORAL THESIS"Presence of Aristotelian Philosophy in the Works of C.S. Lewis"TEXT:C.S. Lewis is an author generally interpreted in the Platonic or Neo-Platonic trends, both through his narrative texts and through his essays. What this thesis defends is another presentation, which is focusing on his Aristotelian points of view. There are many elements to sustain this position, and in this thesis they are analyzed with continuous reference to the texts of Aristotle and his philosophy. In case the reader is not aware about C.S. Lewis' life, there is a small biography at the beginning of the work.Later on, the four main divisions have been developed as follows:1. The Aristotelian doctrine of the act in the texts of C.S. Lewis. This chapter is divided in three parts: the act as movement; the act as shape; and the act as an operation.2. The interpretation of the act as political action. Here the division is double: the good as a political act, and the perversion of science in scientism which leads to totalitarianism.3. The acceptance of Aristotelian teleologism in front of materialistic views of natural systems.4. The clash of C.S. Lewis, with the help of Aristotelian philosophy, against the contemporary relativism.Furthermore, we can't forget that Lewis had a profound Platonic basis, which is briefly analyzed in four points:1. The elements which are strictly narrative.2. The spiritual dimension or fourth dimension.3. Memory and reminiscence.4. The cardinal virtues of Platonic origin.Finally, the conclusions are divided in three points:1. Theological repercussion of Lewis.2. Literary repercussion.3. Philosophical and political repercussion.

Inicialmente publicado em 1963 sob o pseudônimo Victoria Lucas, A redoma de vidro traz como personagem principal e narradora Esther Greenwood, a qual faz duras críticas aos papeis atribuídos às mulheres nos Estados Unidos nos anos 1950, enquanto passa por um colapso, que culmina em tentativa de suicídio. Depois de o romance ser republicado, reconhecendo a autoria de Sylvia Plath, na Inglaterra em 1966 e nos Estados Unidos em 1971, ele foi objeto de diversas leituras críticas feministas, sendo mais recente o enfoque no romance como estudo de caso. Nesta dissertação, busco estabelecer um diálogo entre essas duas abordagens, relacionando gênero, feminismo, melancolia e trauma, fundamentando-me nos escritos de teóricos como Luce Irigaray, Cathy Caruth, Sigmund Freud e Nicolas Abraham e Maria Torok. Apesar de falarem de diferentes loci, ambas Irigaray e Caruth dão especial atenção à linguagem. No romance, Esther perde sua capacidade de ler e escrever, fato que está ligado não só às suas críticas a um mundo pertencente aos homens como também a certos acontecimentos que desencadeiam essa perda. Tendo isso em mente, relaciono a narrativa a dois contos de Plath: “Línguas de Pedra” e “Mães.” O primeiro, de 1955, traz uma personagem (sem nome) em um cenário semelhante ao de A redoma de vidro: em um hospital psiquiátrico, ela apresenta dificuldades de ler e de pensar. No segundo conto, escrito em 1962, a situação da protagonista, também Esther, pode ser comparada ao presente da narrativa de A redoma de vidro; ademais, uma vez estabelecido o paralelo, a personagem do conto parece apresentar uma perda ainda mais profunda da linguagem que a protagonista do romance. / Initially published in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas, The Bell Jar has as its protagonist and narrator Esther Greenwood, who seriously criticizes the roles attributed to women in the United States in the 1950s. At the same time, she is going through a breakdown, which culminates in a suicide attempt. After the novel was republished, under Sylvia Plath’s name, in England in 1966 and in the United States in 1971, it was the subject of several feminist critical readings, its focus as a case study being more recent. In this thesis, I aim to establish a dialogue between these two approaches, relating gender, feminism, melancholia, and trauma, grounded in the writings of theorists such as Luce Irigaray, Cathy Caruth, Sigmund Freud, and Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok. In spite of speaking from different loci, both Irigaray and Caruth give special attention to language. In the novel, Esther loses her ability to read and write, a fact that is connected not only to her critiques of a world that belongs to men but also to certain events that lead to this loss. With this in mind, I relate the narrative to two of Plath’s short stories: “Tongues of Stone” and “Mothers.” The first, from 1955, displays its main (nameless) character in a setting that is similar to The Bell Jar’s: in a psychiatric hospital, she presents difficulties to read and think. In the second story, written in 1962, the protagonist, also named Esther, is in a situation that may be compared to the narrative present of The Bell Jar; furthermore, once a parallel with the novel is established, the story’s character seems to present an even more profound loss of language than the novel’s protagonist.
