This thesis has explored a number of concepts of Soviet business management, and trends of development from the theory of Marxism-Leninism to the practices of Stalin, Khrushchev and Kosygin.This thesis has examined numerous characteristics of Soviet business management in contrast to capitalistic business practices of the United States. In reference to the U.S.S.R., particular emphasis was given to reforms initiated after 1965.

This study examines the nature of, the relationship between salvation, knowledge and faith in the specific context of Christian theology. It seeks to establish an epistemological basis for the Christian message of salvation in a culture which since the time of the Enlightenment has been highly sceptical of religious claims. This study begins with a critique of the theology of Emil Brunner. It accepts two of his theological premises; that human reason and philosophy cannot prove the truth of salvation, and that the salvation of which Christianity speaks does not address humanity like a bolt from the blue as some groundless revelation but on the basis of a point of contact between man and God, which allows humanity to recognise the salvific event. The distinction Brunner draws between 'personal' knowledge as an encounter between subjects, and 'objective' knowledge which is the construct of human reason enables him to speak of revelation in an unusual and original way. According to this thesis Christian revelation is at the same time rationally and 'personally' comprehensible, and yet not capable of being deduced or verified by human reason. However closer investigation reveals that Brunner's exposition of the incarnation as the 'personal' self-revelation of God within history is not coherent in itself. His understanding of both the 'personal' and the 'historical' is not so much derived from a natural understanding of personality and history, but rather from a use of those terms as defined by, an understanding of revelation which contains implicit within it the groundlessness and the 'alien' nature of revelation which, he sought to avoid. It is the contention of this thesis that in spite of Brunner's failure it is possible to use his basic categories of the 'historical' and the 'personal' to speak of salvation as the, confirmation within history of human 'personal' worth. This worth is ultimately indescribable and inexplicable in the categories of a contingent and finite world, and, as such, is open to a transcendent confirmation and validation. The Christian tradition, itself rooted in the tradition of Judaism, bears witness, like Judaism, to the experience of such a 'personal' validation and vindication. In this sense, therefore, the resurrection of Jesus, while offering no historical 'proof of the truth' on account of its essentially 'personal' nature, can be seen as a legitimate epistemological basis for an understanding of salvation, which still preserves the primacy of faith. However the focus upon the category of salvation, and salvation as an epistemological touchstone, reveals that the resurrection of Jesus confirms not so much the traditional distinctive Christological ontology, but rather a more all-embracing ontology of the gracious transcendence of love itself which resists the narrow and distinctive definitions of orthodoxy. In fact an epistemologically valid ontology of faith's activity in love allows the traditional ontologies of Christology, Soteriology and the Trinity to be seen as peripheral to a contemporary articulation of the Christian message of salvation on account of their dubious epistemological foundations.

As many theorists have pointed out, queer history is often erased within traditional, heteronormative historiography. Consequently, historians cannot recount the gay and lesbian past by conventional techniques of evidence and documentation. Instead they recuperate and reinvent queer history using strategies normally associated with the writing of fiction. This thesis examines three works of late twentieth century lesbian historical fiction that rewrite the past in order to render visible queer intimacy, sexuality, and desire. Jeanette Winterson's The Passion (1987), Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet (1998), and Helen Humphreys' Leaving Earth (1997) employ spectacularly visible lesbian heroines who symbolically reverse lesbian invisibility in mainstream historical narratives by displaying themselves as public figures or stage performers. There are ongoing debates in contemporary queer theory and historiography about the extent to which it is politically useful to privilege highly visible individuals when recovering the marginalized gay and lesbian past. Winterson's, Waters', and Humphreys' novels enact this debate, and exemplify a trend in contemporary lesbian historical fiction in which lesbian heroines are empowered by their ability to control their own visibility and to ensure the perpetuation of their history.

Diva Nolf juntou documentos para tirar seu título de eleitora e participar das eleições presidenciáveis de 1922, mas este direito foi negado a ela. A situação que passou a inspirou a publicar um livro em 1923 em que narra seu caso e traz um amplo levantamento sobre a temática do voto feminino. Pretende-se entender o indivíduo Diva Nolf enquanto sujeito singular e coletivo, pensar ela como única e plural, em suas relações com as demais militantes da FBPF. Para compreender a sua luta, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo que envolveu o levantamento de documentos da FBPF; a análise de seu livro; de seu histórico escolar e uma entrevista com sua prima em Batatais que possibilitou reconstruir sua infância e sua família. A pesquisa bibliográfica trouxe como pano de fundo a formação da República brasileira e os anos 1920, analisados por meio do uso dos Estudos de Gênero e Feminismo e História das Mulheres / The main goal of the following paper is to bring to the lights the history of the suffragist fight of Diva Nolf Nazário. Diva was a young academic of law and- along with other women of the “Federação Brasileira para o Progresso Feminino” (FBPF) - she claimed to women the right to vote and, more widely, claimed the inclusion of women in the political space. Diva Nolf presented all the documents needed to have her permission to vote in the 1922’s general elections for president, but it was denied under the Constitution. The then law student did not agree with the decision and published in a newspaper an article that contested each argument of the judge who denied her permission to vote. Also in this article, Diva argued about the situation of women in Brazil. She claims, based upon her studies at the Largo do São Francisco College, that women are not considered nonvoters by the Brazilian Constitution and, thus, the denial of her permission to vote was against the Constitution. This situation inspired Diva to publish a book, in 1923, in which she brings the feminine vote to discussion. In order to understand her struggle, a field research, which handled carefully documents of the FBPF, was executed, an analysis of her book and of documents of the period she was a law student was done and her cousin from Batatais (Diva’s homeland) was interviewed. This made possible the understanding of her Family and childhood. The bibliographic research brought to this paper the formation of the Republic in Brazil and the 20’. Those elements were analyzed under the scope of Studies of Gender and Feminism and the History of Women. The analysis of Diva’s biography and her book helped understanding the process of struggle for the civil rights for women in the Republic and the role played by young women in achieving the women’s right to vote / FAPESP: 2012/11728-2

Este estudo investigou a contribuição do programa de rádio Clube do Guri na formação musical de crianças e jovens que dele participavam, buscando compreender qual era a importância do programa para essas pessoas, como se dava a participação musical de jovens e crianças no programa, qual era o formato, o conteúdo e a concepção do programa, quais suas funções pedagógico-musicais, bem como a relação do programa com a escola. Para a realização desta pesquisa foi utilizado a metodologia da História Oral, entrevistando dois integrantes da equipe do Clube do Guri e cinco participantes que atuaram no programa. O Clube do Guri, foi veiculado na rádio Farroupilha, em Porto Alegre, entre 1950 e 1966, sendo um dos maiores sucessos do rádio gaúcho. Os participantes do programa eram crianças e jovens entre cinco e quinze anos de idade, que se apresentavam cantando, declamando, dançando, fazendo locução ou tocando um instrumento. Tomando-se como referência as teorias sobre aprendizagem através dos meios de comunicação (Schmidt, 2001; Steinberg, 1997; Fischer, 1997, 2001; Braga e Calazans, 2001; Nanni, 2000; Souza, 2000; e Thompson, 1998), o estudo evidenciou que o programa Clube do Guri teve um papel preponderante na formação musical de crianças e jovens que dele participaram, propiciando a profissionalização de muitos integrantes.

Ce mémoire étudie L’Homme au complet gris clair (1931), nouvelle de Marcel Lecomte, écrivain surréaliste belge francophone. Il comprend une étude et une traduction de ce récit. En ce qui concerne la première étude, je l’ai divisée en cinq parties selon l’ordre suivant. Le premier chapitre porte sur le surréalisme qui se développe en France autour d’André Breton et va de la naissance de celui-ci à 1931, l’année de la parution de la nouvelle de L’Homme au complet gris clair. Le deuxième chapitre porte sur l’étude historiographique du surréalisme en Belgique, depuis les premières manifestations du dadaïsme (à peu près en 1916) à 1931. Le troisième chapitre est une présentation brève de Marcel Lecomte et le quatrième chapitre réunit l’analyse narratologique du récit. Le cinquième chapitre porte sur les questions interprétatives et présente deux lectures différentes mais complémentaires de l’ouvrage étudié. En guise de conclusion du mémoire, je fais quelques commentaires concernant le rapport entre l’interprétation du sens de la nouvelle et son dialogue avec la pensée surréalisteIl y a aussi deux annexes : l’une est une étude de deux essais critiques, sur le dadaïsme et sur le surréalisme belge, écrits par Lecomte ; l’autre est une étude du Manifeste du surréalisme d’André Breton. Quant au deuxième travail, la traduction en portugais de L’Homme au complet gris clair, il se trouve à la fin du mémoire, avant la bibliographie thématique. / Esta dissertação de mestrado analisa L’Homme au complet gris clair (1931), novela de Marcel Lecomte, escritor surrealista belga francófono. Ela se organiza em duas grandes partes que são um estudo e uma tradução da narrativa. A análise da narrativa está dividida em cinco partes que estão dispostas na ordem a seguir. O primeiro capítulo estuda o movimento surrealista francês articulado em torno de André Breton e compreende o período que vai do seu nascimento até 1931, ano de publicação da L’Homme au complet gris clair. O segundo capítulo é um estudo, também de cunho historiográfico, do surrealismo belga, desde as primeiras manifestações do dadaísmo (aproximadamente em 1916) a 1931. O terceiro capítulo é uma breve apresentação de Marcel Lecomte e o quarto capítulo reúne elementos de análise narratológica da narrativa. O quinto capítulo analisa questões interpretativas e apresenta o resumo de duas leituras diferentes, mas complementares, da obra estudada. À guisa de conclusão da dissertação, faço alguns comentários nos quais relaciono a interpretação do sentido da novela e seu diálogo com o pensamento surrealista.O trabalho compreende também dois anexos: o primeiro deles é uma resenha de dois ensaios críticos sobre o dadaísmo e o surrealismo belga, escritos por Lecomte; o segundo anexo é um estudo do Manifesto do surrealismo, de André Breton. A segunda parte do trabalho, a tradução para o português de L’Homme au complet gris clair, encerra a dissertação; uma bibliografia temática se segue à essa tradução.
