El objetivo de este trabajo es fundamentar una perspectiva alternativa para explicar la violencia del conflicto armado interno en conexión con la historia del poder y dominación en Perú; para lo cual, partimos de la crítica de las propuestas que sobre este tema elaboraron Carlos Iván Degregori, Alberto Flores-Galindo, y Nelson Manrique. Propuestas ampliamente aceptadas, aunque poco discutidas por académicos y comentaristas de la violencia; y que están en la base de las interpretaciones del Informe Final de la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación del Perú, el mayor esfuerzo emprendido por dar una narrativa holística del período. Mostraremos que estas elaboraciones comparten visiones históricas insuficientes para explicar la violencia política; pues prácticamente al margen de las acciones de las personas, la interpretan como resultado de una historia fallida que permitió que herencias del pasado dominio colonial y del orden gamonal-terrateniente sedimentaran una tradición autoritaria que legitimó la violencia sobre las poblaciones campesinas-indígenas. Por el contrario, lejos de alegar una larga continuidad histórica, sostendremos que el fenómeno de la violencia puede explicarse de modo más coherente como parte de un proceso de transformación de las relaciones entre Estado y Sociedad, por medio del cual se amplió el ejercicio de derechos y se erosionaron formas de dominación fundadas en un fenómeno arraigado en la cultura política latinoamericana: el tutelaje. En medio de este reacomodo de las relaciones de poder, plantearemos que la violencia se explica por los objetivos que pragmáticamente persiguieron los distintos actores individuales y colectivos que se vieron involucrados con la violencia. / Tesis

Media accounts and a number of researchers have argued that homicide is the most serious crime and among the ten leading causes of death in the United States for people 35 to 54 years of age. For men and women 15 to 34, it is among the four leading causes of death. Homicide is also one of the five leading causes of death in early childhood in the United States, which has the second highest child homicide rate in the world. The drama of violent death has been a favorite literary theme from the time of Homer's Iliad to the present day. Homicides have, however, far greater significance socially than as source material for writers. Yet in the United States its wider significance has received scant attention from sociologists. This study examines the homicide rate over time in the United States by sex, age and race as ascertained from the Uniform Crime Reports. Additionally, secondary data from the scholarly literature on homicide is analyzed. Particular attention focuses on theories of homicide and research studies supporting these theories; that is, as found in the scholarly criminological literature (journal articles, books, manuscripts, documents). Findings disclose that causal theories and research studies fall into two chief categories: (1) psychological explanations and (2) sociologicalexplanations.

Although highly regarded by critics, Mrs. Wilson's fiction has been subject to little detailed scrutiny. This thesis attempts to trace and consolidate the threads of her thought, to demonstrate that a substantial philosophical framework supports and enhances the more obvious presentation of "the vagaries of human conduct" which make her books so pertinent. An existential humanism allows her characters to attain individual dignity and authenticity regardless of status, sex, or endowments. In Chapter II, the concept that in our society only the fittest survive is supported by Mrs. Wilson's attitude to nature, in which, however, there is always defeat with victory. The human attribute of compassion is what enables man to transcend the sorrow of humanity (as illustrated in Swamp Angel); nevertheless indiscriminate pity debilitates man and prevents him from asserting his individuality and enjoying life. In an absurd world, man's anguish is that he has the power of choice, and his freedom depends on his ability to live with his decisions. Tuesday and Wednesday is analyzed as negatively illustrating the struggle toward meaning in a purposeless world. The element of chance is discussed in Chapter III as an introduction to Mrs. Wilson's theory that man would like to, but cannot be, an island. Focussing on the "odd man out," Mrs. Wilson finds complete detachment impossible, no matter how powerful are the factors militating against real communication between individuals: chance, misunderstanding, incompatibility (many of which are directly traceable to "character"). The resultant loneliness, and the means devised by humanity to ward off the realization of its predicament is noted. Hetty Dorval represents the predicament, and Mr. Willy's gnawing emptiness the result, of an a-moral world devoid of responsibility, love, or human intercourse. Because women are "all one flow" they form a demonstrable focus for Mrs. Wilson's philosophy of continuity. Emphasizing the individuality of women, rather than their roles as wives and mothers, Mrs. Wilson is harsher, yet kinder, in her judgement than are most male novelists. Chapter IV analyzes Mrs. Wilson's fictional women and the feminine world of Hettv Dorval is discovered to contain the many aspects of women that are elaborated, in the subsequent books. The questions of sin and justice as rationalized by women seem compatible with Mrs. Wilson's over-all view of life, and it is through their ability to rationalize that they are able (although limited by their economic role), to find fulfillment. Like women, truth is illogical, difficult to define, and, in essence, paradoxical. Chapter V attempts to explicate Mrs. Wilson's belief that by admitting a "multiple" truth, one can better understand man's place in the universe, and consequently acquire tolerance. The relationship between appearance and reality is fundamental to Mrs. Wilson's philosophy, as is the paradoxical nature of morality, both of which are explored in the context of modern society. Since truth is an accretion - not something hidden behind a mask - man is always more than he appears to be, so life is a constant journey of discovery. The Conclusion assesses the value of her work which seems to reside in her ability to transcend the current nihilism prevalent in sophisticated fiction, by orienting the reader's outlook towards a positive course of action. Most people's lives are worth living, even when they are lives of quiet desperation. Like Ellen, in Love and Salt Water, what one needs is courage, dignity and compassion. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

This thesis attempts to explain some essential aspects of the literature of Henry Miller by concentrating on an explication of three terms as they apply to Miller's novels. The thesis does not take a stance involving a certain critical "distance", that is, it does not deal with an evaluation of the success or failure of his vision, nor with the validity or invalidity of his world. This, I maintain, has been done to excess by most critics of Henry Miller. The thesis indicates in the opening chapter the major outlines of the literary tradition to which Miller belongs, specifically the American romantic-transcendentalist tradition. Further, though not specific reference is made to this tradition in subsequent chapters in describing the movement toward mysticism apparent in Miller's later novels. The main portion of the thesis details the significance of three major terms, apocalypse, creation, and process, as elements which encompass the overall development of Miller's literature. The thesis attempts to show that these terms indicate an unconscious development in the author of a mystical vision or insight where the works themselves serve as a working out of the author's growing understanding of his inner awakening. The final chapter accounts for Miller's later non-fiction as illustrative of his arrived position. Miller has reached a particular kind of "cosmic consciousness" and he regards his life as a parable of the progress of everyman from unconscious unification with all-things (childhood), through knowledge (manhood), to a new stage of conscious unification with the world (maturity). The period intervening between childhood and final spiritual insight is that detailed by his six major novels, which might generally be characterized as a trial by fire or a trip through the hell of the alienated modern world. This thesis, then, is an exposition of the development of the artist through his art. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate
