When Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982, it was the beginning of a two month long war. The aim of this essay is to find alternative explanations to the Falklands war with the main question being whether there were hidden motives for Thatcher and her reactions in 1982.   The essay will focus on the period 1965-1982 in which different texts will be analyzed by applying theories. The diversionary war theory describes how state leaders can improve their political popularity by intentionally escalating a conflict. The geopolitical theory explains how a state, by investments, constructions and military, can create demographic and international perceptions regarding a territory while foreign political theory describes how decision making is affected by the bureaucracy, psychology and the international system.   The ministry of defense and the navy was heavily affected by the financial cuts during the conflict and may also have affected the manner in which they advised Thatcher in 1982. Because of the British unwillingness to invest geopolitically in the Falklands and their aggravation of the diplomatically efforts to find a peaceful solution, the conflict got worse. In addition, Thatchers intentions to implement economic reforms and her record low political popularity make it plausible to suspect her for having, intentionally, escalated the conflict to gain political popularity and to enable the economic reforms.

Seu trabalho etnográfico no sul de Moçambique, particularmente com o estudo do costumes do que foi denominado grupo "tsonga", teve relevância em vários temas do debate antropológico. Porém a historiografia da disciplina se restringiu, majoritariamente, ao seu argumento sobre parentesco e evolução social exposto pelo texto basilar de Radcliffe-Brown "O irmão da mãe na África Austral". Nessa pesquisa buscou-se explorar outras contribuições etnográficas do autor, a partir de uma leitura detalhada de sua principal obra. Para isso, outros escritos, e versões da mesma obra, foram incluídos no estudo a fim de aprofundar nas idéias do autor. Dessa forma, a pesquisa apresenta contribuições de Junod sobre temas como linhagem, ritos de passagem. sistemas de casamento e sobre a relação entre norma social e comportamento. Apresenta-se também um breve estudo sobre a trajetória de Junod e a relação com sua obra. O olhar da historiografia da antropologia dirigido à obra de Junod a partir do debate estabelecido com Radcliffe-Brown relegou o pensamento de Junod à matriz evolucionista. Porém, com essa pesquisa, mostra-se que há outros pontos obscurecidos até então que o relacionam também à crescente corrente da antropologia social / Abstract: The object of this research is the work Ufe in a $outh African Tribe, wrote in 1913 by the Swiss missionary and ethnographer Henri Junod (1863-1934). His ethnographic work in the south of Mozambique, particularly with the costumes' study of what had been named "tsonga" group, had relevance in several themes in the anthropological debate. However, the anthropological historiography restricted itself, mostly, to Junod's argument about kinship and social evolution exposed through the Radcliffe-Brown's basilar article "The mother's brother in South Africa". In this research, it was explored others ethnographical contributions of Junod, found through a detail reading of Ufe in a South African Tribe. Other texts was used too, inclusively others versions of the work in question, with the objective of deepening in the author's ideas. In this matter, this dissertation presents Junod's contributions in themes as lineage, rites of passage, systems of n:arriage and the relation between social norm and behavior. Also, it was possible to present a brief study of the Junod's trajectory and its relation with his work. The Radcliffe-Brown's vision about Junod' s ideas located him in the evolutionary matrix. However, with this research, it was demonstrated that others elements, that had been obscured until now, relates Junod to the growing current of the social anthropology / Mestrado / Mestre em Antropologia Social

Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, escolheu-se como objeto de análise a categoria de canto e dança enunciada por estudiosos dos nativos de Moçambique, presente em monografias antropológicas do período colonial. Canto e dança são unidos numa categoria ocidental de pesquisa, não nativa. Assim, a princípio, questiona-se: como os autores retiram certos aspectos da vida social para escrever sobre canto e dança? Quais temáticas são criadas e delimitadas? Como, numa vida social ampla, definem-se certas categorias de canto e dança? Com isso, procura-se destacar quais representações são constituídas pelos autores da antropologia sobre o contexto da vida no império e sobre qual base material os autores constroem o conhecimento sobre seus pesquisados, fundamentando suas próprias relações de alteridade / Abstract: The nation and cultural nationality, specially in the state of Mozambique, are complex themes, because they take together a series of political, historical and cultural aspects of the country and its population. For this research, the analitical object chosen was the category of chant and dance made by researchers of the natives of Mozambique, present in anthropological monographs made at the colonial period. Chant and dance are taken together in an ocidental category of research, non-native. So, first of all, we may question: how the authors extract some social life aspects to write about chant and dance? Which thematics are created and delimited? How, in a wide social life, are set certain categories of chant and dance? Taking this point, we hope to know more about which representations are constituted by these anthropology authors in the context of imperial life, and what constitutes their own alterity relationships / Mestrado / Mestre em Antropologia Social

Com formação conduzida, sobretudo, pelo autodidatismo, numa época em que a figura do diletante não era bem vista, será na universidade que a atividade crítica tomará a maior parte do tempo desse intelectual múltiplo, que atuou como editor, historiador, crítico, professor e pesquisador. A pesquisa procura mostrar que o trabalho do crítico era contido pelo do jornalista, do editor e do historiador, encontrando ambiente favorável ao desenvolvimento de sua atividade crítica, depois, no âmbito universitário, onde Eulalio ingressa primeiro como professor convidado em instituições estrangeiras e depois como professor notório saber na Unicamp. O estudo analisa ainda como a crítica de Eulalio, que alia o saber histórico à análise formal, é movida pela paixão e pela identificação do crítico com o objeto contemplado, que interfere na seleção dos nomes, no tratamento dado e na própria composição do texto crítico, que espelha as características da obra ou do autor analisado / Abstract: This dissertation examines the literary criticism produced by Alexandre Eulalio (1932-1988), tracing his intellectual trajectory from the beginning of his contribution to newspapers and magazines as a young student, going through his work as editor of Revista do Livro, until he joins Campinas State University as a guest professor. With a formation especially marked by autodidacticism, at a time when the figure of dilettante was not well regarded, it would be at university that criticism should take most of the multiskilled intellectual¿s time, who worked as editor, historian, critic, teacher and researcher. This research seeks to support the claim that his work as critic was constricted by that as journalist, editor and historian, finding shelter for its later development, in a university environment, where Eulalio comes first as a visiting professor at foreign universities and afterwards as a professor of notorious knowledge at Unicamp. This study also examines how the criticism of Eulalio, which gathers historical knowledge and formal analysis, is moved by the passion and identification of the critic with the contemplated object, something that interferes in his selection of authors, in his treatment of the subject, and in the composition of criticism itself, reflecting features of the work or author under analysis / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

Diferentemente do que dá a entender a tradição crítica, que privilegia somente algumas facetas da obra dos dois autores acima referidos, num campo valorativo especificamente literário, Garrett ocupa um lugar fundador não apenas por inaugurar a narrativa de atualidade em Portugal, e sim por ser um dos instauradores da prosa burguesa. Do mesmo modo, a importância de Herculano não pode reduzir-se ao fato de ele introduzir a ficção histórica no seu país, pois o seu papel, assim como o de Garrett, é decisivo na elaboração da prosa moderna em vernáculo. Outro ponto enfocado nesta tese é a constituição do público do romance, na primeira fase do romantismo lusitano, para o que Garrett e Herculano, acompanhando a valorização, ao longo dos séculos XVIII e XIX, da função educativa da forma romanesca, contribuíram com uma verdadeira pedagogia da leitura por meio da construção da narrativa ficcional / Abstract: The present work studies the origins of modern prose in the Portuguese language, the emergence of the novel as a genre in Lusitanian lands, and, as mediation, the impact of the discourse of Almeida Garrett and Alexandre Herculano on subsequent Lusiphone narrative. Differently from what comes to light in the critical tradition, which privileges only some facets of the oeuvre of the two above cited authors within a specifically evaluative literary field, Garrett occupies a founding place not only for inaugurating the narrative of the present time in Portugal, but also as one of the founders of the bourgeois prose. In a similar way, the importance of Herculano cannot be reduced to the fact that he introduces the historical fiction in his country, as he plays a decisive role, as well as Garrett, in the elaboration of modern prose in the vernacular. Another point focused on here is the creation of a reading public for the novel during the first phase of the Portuguese Romanticism, to which Garrett and Herculano, by means of the construction of fictional narrative, contribute a true pedagogy of reading, which accompanies the valorization of the educational function attributed to the Romanesque form throughout the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries / Doutorado / Literatura Portuguesa / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

In Portugal, as in other countries, a common characteristic of many of the novels published in the past twenty years is the recourse to a repertoire of literary devices that recall those of the historical novel.                 On the basis of critical studies published in the 1990’s, and in particular Fernández Prieto’s Poética de la Novela Histórica, this thesis undertakes a study of the Portuguese historical novel with the aim of defining, to the extent possible, the limits of this literary genre, and to examine in detail some of its intrinsic—and pertinent—semantic and pragmatic traits: the setting of a fictional narrative in the past, the introduction of historical persons and events and, not the least, the transtextual relationship between the fictional and the historiographic text.        Special attention is given to some of the more innovative forms of the contemporary historical novel, to highlight how by emphasising certain generic traits —that refer to the reader’s acquired knowledge— the author can compensate for the absence of others. Despite the inherent ”heterodoxy”, this device justifies grouping these novels under the general heading of the historical novel. The thesis explores the analogies between some of these innovative narrative strategies of the contemporary historical novel with transtextual practices characteristic of literature predating the 19th Century and by which a certain ”historical knowledge” is requisite for decoding the text. The thesis also establishes a set of generic traits that the historical novel shares with epic poetry. In light of these analogies, the thesis proposes a reading of Os Lusíadas as a historical poem. With this the author hopes to provide a contribution to a theory of historical fiction, understood as a genre encompassing, in addition to the novel, all forms of fictionalisation that rely on the historical discourse. © Mauro Cavaliere                                           ISBN  91-7265-442-2

Am Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts übernahm das Pariser Conservatoire verschiedene Aspekte der italienischen Lehrmethoden, insbesondere die Partimenti. Diese französische Tradition begann mit dem Traktat Charles-Simon Catels (1802) und entwickelte sich durch die Publikationen von François-Joseph Fétis (1844), Théodore Dubois (1891), und Charles Koechlin (1927–30) weiter. Henri Challans 380 Basses et chants donnés (1960) ist eine der letzten Veröffentlichungen der französischen Partimento-Tradition. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über Challans Traktat. Challan lehrt unter anderem Kadenz- und Sequenz-Muster, wie sie auch in den Orgelwerken von César Franck, Gabriel Fauré, Alexandre Guilmant und Louis Vierne auftreten. Es lässt sich zeigen, dass solche Satzmodelle wichtige Bestandteile der Improvisationspraxis dieser Organisten-Komponisten waren. Zu den typischsten Stimmführungsmustern des französisch-romantischen Stils gehören Kadenzen, die ich ›plagale Varianten‹ nenne, weil sie von der typischen Plagal-Kadenz abweichen. Manche stilistischen Eigenschaften, die wir heute als charakteristisch für Komponisten dieser Schule verstehen, waren von der Partimento-Tradition am Pariser Conservatoire geprägt. / In the early nineteenth century, the Paris Conservatory adopted various aspects of Italian teaching methods, especially partimenti1891), and Charles Koechlin (1927–30). Henri Challan’s 380 Basses et chants donnés (1960) is one of the last publications of the French partimento tradition. The present article gives an overview of Challan’s treatise. Challan presents various cadences and sequences that also appear in the organ works of César Franck, Gabriel Fauré, Alexandre Guilmant, and Louis Vierne. Such voice-leading models were integral elements of the improvisational practice of these organist-composers. Among the most typical voice-leading patterns of the French-romantic style are cadences that I term »plagal variants,« since they deviate from typical plagal cadences. Many stylistic characteristics typical for composers of this school were influenced by the partimento tradition at the Paris Conservatory.

Figure obsédante de l’imaginaire collectif, le fou a longtemps été chargé de significations qui le dépassent ; le mythe de la folie fait recette sur la scène littéraire mais les malades n’en sont que des figurants. Alors que le fou réel est maintenu dans les marges de la littérature comme de la société, le fantasme culturel de la folie est nourri et modelé au XIXe siècle par la littérature romantique ou fantastique et exalté au début du siècle suivant par les avant-gardes historiques. Un certain nombre de textes de romanciers du XXe siècle, parmi lesquels Georges Duhamel, André Baillon, Julien Green, Henry de Montherlant ou encore Alexandre Vialatte, mettent au contraire en œuvre un décentrement du regard littéraire de la folie vers le fou – du mythe à l’individu. Ce sont les modalités et les logiques de cette émancipation de la figure du fou et de son affirmation comme sujet – au sens de thème comme de subjectivité – autonome dans l’espace romanesque que ce travail s’applique à éclairer. Ces récits fictionnels qui font de la conscience aliénée à la fois le foyer et l’objet principal de la narration mettent en scène une folie presque familière, où l’idéalisation cède le pas à la représentation de troubles intimes et ordinaires, qui atteignent un personnage banal menant une existence modeste. Par leurs affinités sémantiques, syntaxiques et pragmatiques, ils forment un « sous-genre » romanesque, celui des "histoires de fous". L’enjeu de cette thèse est de déterminer le répertoire générique de ces romans tout en examinant la manière dont la folie interroge les moyens et les pouvoirs de la fiction romanesque. Il s’agit également de mettre au jour ce que la littérature nous aide à comprendre de cet impensable, envers de l’expérience partagée de la raison, et d’observer comment les romanciers contribuent à refléter tout autant qu’à remodeler les formes de cet objet social et culturel. / Haunting our collective imagination, the madman has always been laden with symbolic significance. The myth of madness is abundantly present in literature, however those characters with an actual mental illness are ultimately overshadowed. While mental patients are pushed to the margins of literature, just as they are pushed to the outskirts of society, this particular cultural legend of madness develops during the nineteenth century in Romantic and fantastic literature and stays in the spotlight at the beginning of the following century through the avant-garde artists. In contrast to the aforementioned representation of madness, a number of novelists of the twentieth century, including Georges Duhamel, André Baillon, Julien Green, Henry de Montherlant or Alexandre Vialatte, brought on a literary shift away from “madness” towards “the madman” – from the myth to the individual. The focus of this piece of work is on the modality and logic leading to the emancipation of the figure of the madman and its affirmation as an autonomous subject – in every sense of the world – in the literary field. These fictional stories, where the alienated consciousness is both the focus and the main subject of the narrative, present the reader with an almost familiar madness. They don’t idealize insanity but provide representations of almost ordinary disorders, which affect a banal character living a modest life. Through their semantic, syntactic and pragmatic preferences, these stories form a fictional “sub-genre”, called “histoires de fous”. This research aims at determining the generic features of these novels and at considering the way madness questions the means and powers of fiction. Another purpose is to shed light on how literature helps us understand this inconceivable experience, which represents the other side of the commonly shared human experience of reason and logic, and to study how novelists help to reveal as well as reshape the characterization of this social and cultural topic.

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’étudier la tragédie du XVIIe siècle en France avec la notion de faute tragique, hamartia, et de montrer l’originalité et la diversité des tragédies classiques. Commentée dans la Poétique d’Aristote, l’hamartia se définit comme une notion médiane entre un délit volontaire et une malchance. Coupable d’une hamartia, le héros n’en est pas pour autant entièrement responsable malgré sa prise d’initiative, dans la mesure où la faute n’est pas due à l’intention perverse. Parce que le malheur déclenché par une hamartia, apparaît disproportionné à l’intention du coupable, les spectateurs éprouvent de la compassion envers le héros infortuné. Dans la mesure où la compassion est une des émotions essentielles de la tragédie au même titre que la terreur – en effet, la catharsis consiste en l’épuration de ces émotions –, la faute tragique constitue à cet égard un des composants sine qua non de la tragédie. Mais arrivée au XVIIe siècle en France, la faute garde-t-elle le même statut ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous examinons les tragédies de sept dramaturges, Alexandre Hardy, Pierre Du Ryer, Jean Rotrou, Tristan L’Hermite, Pierre Corneille, Jean Racine et Jean-Galbert de Campistron, ce qui permet d’étudier le XVIIe siècle en entier. Le premier chapitre sera consacré à l’examen de la notion de faute dans les écrits théoriques. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous nous intéresserons à la fabrique du héros coupable. Le troisième chapitre portera sur la nature de la faute. Et nous étudierons, dans le quatrième chapitre, le statut de la faute sur le plan dramaturgique, avant d’examiner, dans le dernier chapitre, les problèmes moraux. Ce travail révèlera l’importance de la Poétique d’Aristote dans la tragédie du XVIIe siècle en France. / The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to study the French tragedy in the seventeenth century researching into the notion of tragic flaw, hamartia, and to show the originality and the diversity of the French classical tragedy. This notion, commented by Aristotle in "Poetics" originally differs from either an intentional crime or an accidental one. The tragic flaw presupposes the participation of an agent without denying the presence of fortuity. Although a tragic hero is responsible for his misfortune, as it proceeded from his fault, the result exceeds his intention. And this disparity between intention and misfortune makes the audience feel compassion for the hero suffering from his misfortune. If this compassion is one of the emotions caused only by tragedies, the tragic flaw constitutes in this respect an essential element of tragedy. But is the concept of fault identical in the Christendom society of the seventeenth century? To answer this question, I deal with the tragedies of seven dramaturges, Alexandre Hardy, Pierre Du Ryer, Jean Rotrou, Tristan L’Hermite, Pierre Corneille, Jean Racine and Jean-Galbert de Campistron, to cover the seventeenth century. In the first section of this work, I examine the notion of fault in the theoretical texts. The second section consists in studying the tragic figure. The third section is about the nature of the fault, the private fault and the politic fault. The fourth section concerns the status of fault on the dramaturgical level, before examining moral questions in the final section. This work reveals the importance of Aristotle’s Poetics in the French tragedy of the seventeenth century.
