Congresso Nacional em 1991. A escolha desse tema se deu ao refletir sobre como o PT construiu o seu corpo simbólico ou o seu capital político no decurso de sua trajetória de lutas e como se capacitou para efetivá-lo através do conjunto partidário. Tal dúvida se manifestou quando analisava documentos (resoluções de encontros, congressos, reuniões etc.) dessa organização, inclusive de suas várias tendências e percebia como enfatizavam o fato do PT ter incorporado “novas teorias”, “novas práticas”, “novos rumos” durante sua trajetória e por isso, ser um “novo partido” ou um partido diferente do projeto originário. A inquietação com tal leitura me levou a refletir sobre uma premissa que considero fundamental para a vida das organizações sociais como um todo, qual seja, que toda organização política necessita de uma referência teórica sólida para formar-se e desenvolver-se. E claro isso advém de um processo de produção e de re-significação de idéias e práticas que de forma alguma são absolutamente “novas”, mas que se articula com experiências vividas por outras organizações políticas em meio a novas realidades, a novos contextos sociais e também, a determinados tempos históricos. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados nas resoluções partidárias aprovadas desde o surgimento do Movimento pró-PT, passando pelos 07 encontros nacionais e um extraordinário e pelo 1º. Congresso Nacional. Contudo, foram consultados também artigos de militantes petistas, boletins, folhetos de propaganda eleitoral, programa de governo do PT e outros materiais. Ao todo foram analisados 53 documentos partidários. Como procedimento teórico-metodológico optei pela análise das categorias básicas do pensamento petista, dos fenômenos sociais privilegiados por ele, da ontologia de suas idéias, de sua pretensão crítica, das escolas de pensamento e Ideologia ao qual o PT se identificava. Para analisar o material coletado me orientei pela perspectiva teórico-metodológica de Antonio Gramsci sobre sua concepção de partido político. Mas também a instrumentação fornecida pela Análise de Discurso (AD) foi fundamental. A conclusão deste estudo fornece indicações sobre a construção do pensamento político petista em meio à conturbada década de 80, percebendo-o como uma síntese de rupturas, de superação e ao mesmo tempo de continuidade com o pensamento dos partidos de esquerda que o precederam demonstrando assim, caracteres ambíguos, conflituosos e contraditórios que concretamente incidiram para a prática petista.

Explorations is a three-movement experimental work for eighteen-piece jazz ensemble consisting of the following instruments: soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, two tenor saxophones, baritone saxophone, two trumpets, two flugelhorns, three trombones, bass trombone, electric guitar, vibraphone, contrabass, drums and piano. The duration of the work will approximate twelve minutes. The first movement features geometric configurations of spatially notated sound which emphasize percussive qualities of the ensemble (i.e. key clicks, tongue slaps, mouthpiece pops, etc.). Tone clusters of various pitch, texture and dynamics derived from blues scales provide the source material for the second movement. A slowly developing dynamic counterpoint creates the sound mass texture and delineates the form. Movement Three features a contrapuntal poly-metric collage of variations on a four-note theme. The collage provides the background fabric for an exchange of periodic and aperiodic events.

Seminario: Resistencia y formas de organización: años ochenta y transición a la democracia / Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Historia / Esta investigación tiene como objetivo general el estudio de la organización política que realiza el mapuche en el espacio urbano, específicamente en la ciudad de Santiago. Dicha temática se aborda a partir del análisis de una entidad llamada Meli Wixan Mapu -que traducido del mapudungun significa de los cuatro puntos de la tierra- . El motivo de elegirla es que esta investigación tiene un carácter cualitativo, que busca profundizar el estudio de la realidad de un grupo específico, dando cuenta así de una de las manifestaciones políticas que efectúa el mapuche dentro del ámbito urbano, que es una de las piezas del rompecabezas que compone al movimiento mapuche desde principios de la década de 1990. Con ello no se pretende representar a toda una realidad, sino ahondar en las experiencias de los participantes de una organización mapuche y visualizar, a partir del análisis e interpretación de los mismos testimonios de los sujetos históricos, el cómo se construye y desarrolla una manifestación política mapuche en la ciudad.

Criticism of Graham Greene often centers around what has been termed Greene's "obsessions." Much has been made of his "formula" of the hunted man. The suggestion usually is that Greene's "obsessions" and his "formula" are a blemish in his work. Since Greene's artistry in other respects is seldom questioned, it would seem to me that there is an explanation of what seems to be a blemish. The word "obsession" itself suggests an unconscious activity, an unconscious urge. It occurred to me that the recurrence of Greene's themes, and his "formula" could be explained as an unconscious urge translated into symbols which reflect his basic concern. Drawing on Jung's theory of "the collective unconscious," and examining the theory of archetypal terminology in literary criticism as used by such literary critics as Northrop Frye, and Maud Bodkin -- in her Archetypal Patterns in Poetry -- I attempt to show that Greene's heroes are symbols in a mythic structure. This structure, with varying artistic differences, is what we see as Greene's individual novels and "entertainments." The novels and entertainments represent the fusion of Greene's literary artistry, his unconscious symbolism, and his conscious ordering of experience. Greene's heroes, his "archetypes," are recurrent images which evince his theme: that man can only be spiritually regenerated through experience. The word "recurrent" helps to explain the term "formula" which has been applied to Greene's plots. I attempt, too, to relate Greene's mythology to his “obsession." The reason that Greene chooses to call some of his work "entertainments," and others "novels," is that these represent two different literary modes which roughly parallel two general modes in art and literature: the comic and the tragic. The two entertainments examined here, The Confidential Agent and The Ministry of Fear, are discussed as representative of the comic mode, and the two serious novels, The Power and the Glory and The Heart of the Matter, are discussed as "tragic." The entertainments represent not comedy, but the integrative urge; that is, in comedy the tendency is to integrate the hero into his society. Both Arthur Rowe, the hero of the entertainment, The Ministry of Fear, and "D," the hero of the entertainment, The Confidential Agent, are reintegrated into their society through the love of women. On the other hand, the tendency in the tragic mode is to isolate the hero from his society. For example, the whiskey priest of The Power and the Glory, and Scobie of The Heart of the Matter, are in conflict with their society and are not physically reintegrated into it. I also examine Greene's use of melodrama. I attempt to expose the link between his use of melodrama and the comic mode. The necessity for a happy ending in the comic mode is mainly the reason that Greene uses melodramatic formulae in his plot resolution in the entertainments. It soon becomes clear that Greene's use of melodramatic formulae is ironic. This is so because of Greene's basic theme that one should be aware of both good and evil in human nature. His heroes and the minor characters are his medium of expression of this theme. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

M.Comm. / In considering the challenges and pitfalls of South Africa's global integration, the circumstances preceding the liberalisation attempt of the 1980's were considered. The De Kock approach to liberalising the economy was unsuccessful owing to the real side of the economy not being in a position to support the liberalisation of the dynamic financial sector. The role of sequencing appears to have been ignored. The lack of government stabilisation was a primary factor contributing to the failure of this liberalisation attempt. Foreign investors, who had been attracted by the well-developed financial sector, lost confidence when exposed to the accompanying backward real sector. Contrary to authorities' initial aim, this premature liberalisation attempt was fatally disrupted by trade and financial sanctions imposed against South Africa. This placed South Africa's ability to meet its international debt commitments in jeopardy. Foreigners refused to roll over debt, and this resulted in a debt standstill in September 1985. To save the crumbling economy, a surplus on current account of balance of payments had to be imposed as a policy measure in order to pay back foreign debt. Although this may have seemed sensible to the authorities at the time, the negative effect that such a policy of price adjustments would have on investment, and therefore growth, was ignored. On examining the correlation between investment and the current account post 1985, it is clear that the current account was in surplus as investment declined. This strongly suggests that investment was the adjustment variable which induced the current account surplus. This paper suggests that such a situation could have been avoided had more attention been given to the sequence in which the economy was opened up. A Smithian approach is proposed. Regression analysis is employed in order to develop an investment function. This model clearly shows that a depreciating exchange rate impacts negatively on investment. Thus the maintenance of a current account surplus was not in the interests of investment growth, and hence economic growth. Rather than relying on balance of payments adjustments, South Africa should possibly have allowed a greater role for organised sequencing. The first step in the Smithian series is the liberalisation of the real sector. Recent World Trade Organisation negotiations have contributed to progress in this regard. The real sector is making good progress in integrating with the world economy. However, it is possibly being hindered by the reluctance of the government to liberalise the foreign exchange market. Stabilisation, the second step in the series is being hindered by the aforementioned reluctance in terms of the foreign exchange market, and by fiscal policies which are lagging behind the progress of monetary policy. The primary problem in terms of fiscal policy is that the authorities have yet to recognise the complementarity of price as well as income adjustments. Financial markets are liberalising fast. The primary concern here is that these markets are opening up in favour of foreigners, rather than in favour of residents. Such lopsidedness may hinder the effectiveness of a liberalisation attempt. Therefore, if South Africa is to open up its economy in the well structured Smithian manner, we need to: speed up foreign exchange market liberalisation; recognise the complementary role of price and income adjustments in attaining a tighter fiscal stance; attempt to open up the financial sector in favour of residents as well as non-residents.
