Anita Loos’ Gentlemen Prefer Blondes constantly acknowledges tensions between the intentions and actions of its protagonist, Lorelei Lee. Some literary critics and authors have speculated in depth the reasons and/or effects of Lorelei’s humorous oblivion, coming to the conclusion that Loos creates this character as a parody for the reader. This article asserts instead that readers should grant Lorelei autonomy, thus giving her more credit than she is generally given at face value. I read Blondes as a self-help book rather than a parody. Specifically, I read Lorelei as not only a creation of modernist work, but a creator of such work: her diary works as a satire on the nineteenth century social etiquette texts directed at women. By identifying some implicit lessons in Lorelei’s diary, I will demonstrate how Loos carefully constructs Lorelei’s humorous rhetoric as a disguised societal guide for the contemporary American flapper who aspires upward mobility.

Idealizando sua companheira, nessa narrativa, o herói italiano constrói a imagem de uma mulher guerreira, que se move no espaço público. Mesmo seguindo o texto de Garibaldi, os historiadores posteriores complementaram a biografia da heroína brasileira, destacando a experiência dela no espaço privado, cumprindo o papel que a sociedade outorgava às mulheres no século XIX. Assim, o modelo que a história apresenta é de uma mulher ambígua, que transita entre o espaço público, aberto e o espaço privado, fechado. O trabalho que aqui se apresenta mostra como cada romancista recria a imagem de Anita, distanciando-se ou se aproximando do protótipo histórico criado por Garibaldi. Com esse intuito, escolheu-se como corpus literário os romances A guerrilheira (1979), do brasileiro João Felício dos Santos; Anita (1999), do também brasileiro Flávio Aguiar; Anita Garibaldi (2003), do argentino Julio A. Sierra; e Anita cubierta de arena (2003), da argentina Alicia Dujovne Ortiz. Em todos eles, verifica-se o intuito de reaver uma personagem da história aclamada como heroína, cuja imagem foi elaborada discursivamente por um homem que lhe concedeu características masculinas. Constata-se, desta forma, como a literatura cumpre o papel de leitora privilegiada da históri / According to the theory of the Contemporary Historical Novel in Latin America and on the Feminist Literary Criticism, this study aims to investigate the construction of the female character Anita Garibaldi in Latin American novels, from the historical model built by Giuseppe Garibaldi in his Memórias (1860). By idealizing his female companion, in this narrative, the Italian hero builds the image of a warrior woman who moves herself in the public space. Even according to Garibaldi‟s text, later historians complemented the biography of the Brazilian heroine by highlighting her experience in the private space where she accomplished the role that the society granted the women of the nineteenth century. So, the model that History presents is one of an ambiguous woman who passes between the public space, open and the private space, close. The work presented here shows how each novelist recreates Anita‟s image, moving away from the historical prototype created by Garibaldi or approaching it. With this purpose, we chose as literary corpus the novels A guerrilheira (1979) by the Brazilian writer João Felício dos Santos; Anita (1999), by another Brazilian writer, Flávio Aguiar; Anita Garibaldi (2003) by the Argentine writer Julio A. Sierra; and Anita cubierta de arena (2003) by the also Argentine writer Alicia Dujovne Ortiz. In all of them, one verifies the intention of redeeming a character of the History acclaimed as heroine whose image was discursively elaborated by a man who granted her male characteristics. One notes, for that reason, how literature fulfills its role of privileged reader of History

Write about the presence of women in history and facts that have marked the humanity is not a simple task, because the complexity begins in the Act of generating new life and that certainly will follow and will have strong influence in the construction of the identity of this generation. The construction of myths, heroes and heroines have always been present in the human imagination, and when they are found its characteristics in a woman as Anita Garibaldi, is of great interest to your study. So we opted for this theme in this Dissertation. In the novels, in the miniseries and movies that tell the life of this character, there are divergent factors and similarities to be analyzed. The behavior, space, time, are parts of the narrative structure that trigger doubts about the real and the fictional. The Bakhtin's dialogism contributes to clarify some attitudes of narrators to with the plot that reproduce, because the life of Anita Garibaldi, along with her husband Giuseppe Garibaldi is full of loopholes. The overall goal of this dissertation is to: analyze the representation of persona/character Anita Garibaldi in narratives of Wolfgang Ludwig Rau, Walter Zumblick, a. Garibaldi and Paulo Markun has. They are compared and analysed on two moments from two approaches: the macro analysis and microanálise of the work, noting its entirety, as are narrated the plot, time, space and the description of the character. The methodology consists of a case study with descriptive qualitative analysis, accomplished using content analysis technique. The facts are divided into four categories for the achievement of microanálise. Final considerations that, faced with the meanings set found in the character Anita Garibaldi, his personality presents facets unknown and doubt they deserve authentic representation and research. / Submitted by Rogele Pinheiro (rogele.pinheiro@unisul.br) on 2018-01-17T17:07:49Z No. of bitstreams: 1 104842_Tatiana.pdf: 4757420 bytes, checksum: 37dd71ca2301199882b3a9b46da5efb8 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Gheovana Figueiredo (gheovana.figueiredo@unisul.br) on 2018-01-17T17:22:13Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 104842_Tatiana.pdf: 4757420 bytes, checksum: 37dd71ca2301199882b3a9b46da5efb8 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2018-01-17T17:22:13Z (GMT).

A construção de mitos, heróis e heroínas sempre estiveram presentes no imaginário humano, e quando são encontradas suas características em uma mulher como Anita Garibaldi, é de grande interesse seu estudo. Por isso optou-se por essa temática na presente dissertação. Nos romances, nas minisséries e filmes que narram a vida dessa personagem, há fatores divergentes e similitudes para serem analisados. O comportamento, o espaço, o tempo são partes da estrutura narrativa que desencadeiam dúvidas em relação ao real e ao fictício. O dialogismo de Bakhtin contribui para esclarecer algumas atitudes dos narradores para com o enredo que reproduzem, pois a vida de Anita Garibaldi, juntamente com seu marido Giuseppe Garibaldi, está cheia de lacunas. O objetivo geral desta dissertação consiste em: analisar a representação da persona/personagem Anita Garibaldi nas narrativas de Wolfgang Ludwig Rau, Walter Zumblick, A. Garibaldi e Paulo Markun. Elas são comparadas e analisadas em dois momentos, a partir de duas abordagens: da macroanálise e microanálise das obras, verificando sua totalidade, como são narrados o enredo, o tempo, o espaço e a descrição da personagem. A metodologia utilizada consiste em um estudo de caso com análise qualitativa descritiva, realizada por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os fatos são divididos em quatro categorias para a realização da microanálise. As considerações finais expõem que, diante das significações encontradas na personagem Anita Garibaldi, sua personalidade apresenta facetas desconhecidas e dúvidas que merecem pesquisa e representação autêntica.

The global movement of peoples and the changing demographics of an ever-more globalized world are undoubtedly becoming increasingly reflected in theatrical practice. Contemporary intercultural performance has become a way for first/second-generation, migrant, immigrant, and exilic artists to re-inscribe and reclaim their agency and cultural identities. This thesis argues for a new method of analysis of intercultural theatre that moves away from the historically "alimentary" relationship between performance cultures - in which one (often the West) borrows and takes from the other (often "the Rest") for its own benefit - towards a methodology of performance analysis that encourages agency of creation with the performer through a more bi-directional or fluid process of intercultural exchange (Lo and Gilbert 43). In looking at three contemporary performances, Fish Eyes by Anita Majumdar, Obaaberima by Tawiah M'Carthy, and DESH by Akram Khan, I argue for a four-point model of performance analysis: encounter, intention, negotiation and emergence. I argue that these four elements are all present within the process of construction and reception of an intercultural performance, and that in deploying them, the artist is able to usher in the creation of new meaning - both semantically and aesthetically - through the means of intercultural exchange.

This thesis provides a reading of Anita Rau Badami’s novels The Hero’s Walk and Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? The interpretive frame constructs a theory of affect to explore the human experience of beauty through a reading of Badami’s texts. This work’s approach to beauty is derived largely from Elaine Scarry’s On Beauty and Being Just and from musings on beauty by Simone Weil. Following Weil, I understand beauty as the ascription of value or worth to various things, actions, or ideas, and I position beauty as an undergirding affective experience that is always present in the human encounter of the world. This thesis examines how Badami’s novels depict the ways in which a Weilian sense of beauty leads characters to develop affectual attachments to various ideologies and discourses represented in the diasporic landscape of the texts. Through a critical consideration of the depicted effects of such attachments on Badami’s characters’ lives, this study also locates potential instances of what Lauren Berlant calls cruel optimism. I contend that the novels often portray instances of cruel optimism to critique traditional practices and perspectives while ever working towards building their own pronouncement of what constitutes a more genuine, higher sense of the beautiful. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

En un contexto en donde la coordinación entre actores es importante para la gestión pública, la investigación pretende determinar la relevancia del enfoque de las políticas públicas orientadas, en este caso, a tratar el fenómeno criminal. Así, la investigación se centra en explicar la mirada o enfoque de las políticas de prevención contra el delito patrimonial de robo en vía pública implementadas en el distrito de Santa Anita durante el 2016 y 2017 frente al desarrollo del proceso de coordinación entre los actores institucionales implicados. De esta manera, se sostiene que si bien es cierto que una coordinación institucional efectiva influye en la implementación efectiva de las medidas de prevención contra el delito patrimonial de robo, importa aún más el enfoque brindado a las políticas. Se determina, a partir de una aproximación cualitativa con entrevistas semi-estructuradas y una revisión de literatura, que las políticas no presentan una mirada preventiva del delito patrimonial de robo en vía pública, sino que se identifica una mirada de control inmediato del problema público en el distrito de Santa Anita. Se trata de evidenciar el proceso de coordinación y sus problemas, pero, a su vez, de determinar el mayor problema que no permite la obtención de los resultados esperados: la falta de una mirada preventiva del delito de robo a partir de la identificación de una ausencia de estudio sobre el delito de robo y su relación con la presencia de los mercados informales. Finalmente, la presente tesis brinda reflexiones sobre las medidas estatales sobre la inseguridad en espacios locales, así como el rol de los mismos.

La tesis titulada GESTIÓN DE LAS POLÍTICAS SOBRE LOS ESPACIOS PÚBLICOS PARA LA INFANCIA EN EL DISTRITO DE SANTA ANITA, que presento como trabajo de investigación para optar el grado de magíster en Gerencia Social, es un trabajo que tiene como esencia describir la preocupación y el estado de promoción del derecho a jugar y a recrearse de niños y niñas en espacios públicos, desde los ámbitos políticos (gobierno local), y sociales (dirigentes, padres y madres), en el distrito de Santa Anita. Para ello he observado 86 parques del distrito y he calificado su calidad como espacios seguros para el ejercicio del juego y la recreación de niños y niñas, como una manera de demostrar la poca atención que existe tanto del gobierno local, como de la mayoría de las organizaciones sociales, sobre este tema. Uno de los aportes del presente trabajo, en este aspecto, es el haber construido un instrumento que justamente pueda medir la calidad de los espacios públicos para fines de juego y recreación, inédito en el país. Asimismo, se ha tomado una encuesta a una muestra representativa de los padres y madres de niños y niñas de 3 a 10 años para conocer la opinión que tienen sobre el juego y la recreación, información que además nos ha permitido explorar el mundo infantil, sus dificultades y oportunidades al momento de jugar y recrearse. Por último se ha revisado la política local sobre juego y recreación, y descrito la dinámica entre el gobierno local y la sociedad civil cuando se ha emprendido iniciativas sobre el juego y la recreación en el distrito. Quiero finalizar manifestando que en el capítulo IV se encontrará un listado de siete (7) propuestas que pretenden enrumbar y proponer líneas de acción para afrontar en primera instancia los nudos críticos encontrados en el análisis de los datos obtenidos. / Tesis
