Soberania em Tempos Democráticos: François Guizot e Alexis de Tocqueville

OLIVEIRA, V. C. 25 June 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-08-29T14:12:06Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 tese_4770_.pdf: 859911 bytes, checksum: 17cb50074e843276cfa4052d8d86a352 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-06-25 / O objetivo central desta dissertação é realizar uma análise comparativa das obras de François Guizot e Alexis de Tocqueville. Este trabalho se insere, portanto, em um conjunto de estudos que, sobretudo a partir da década de 1980, procura avaliar a dívida intelectual do segundo para com o primeiro. Sabe-se que ambos viveram em uma época marcada pela instabilidade política e se dedicaram a discernir o sentido político e social da Revolução Francesa, procurando compreender as novas relações entre os indivíduos e o Estado. Inicialmente, será pesquisada a influência do conceito de civilização elaborado por Guizot no final da década de 1820 sobre a visão histórica de Tocqueville, particularmente sobre o que este chamou de revolução democrática. A análise deverá demonstrar que um e outro autor tinham uma avaliação fundamentalmente diferente dos efeitos das transformações sociais por que passara a França. Sustentando diferentes apreciações da sociedade em que viviam, julgaram de maneira diversa as relações dessa sociedade com o poder político. O segundo momento da pesquisa recairá, portanto, sobre o papel que reservaram aos cidadãos na construção da ordem política, uma vez que ambos rejeitavam a ideia de que a soberania pertencesse unicamente à realeza. De fato, evitando atribuir o poder político a qualquer indivíduo ou grupo social, evocaram alternadamente a soberania da razão ou do gênero humano e buscaram diferentes soluções para transformar o poder de direito em poder de fato. Todavia, nem um nem outro sistematizou suas reflexões sobre o assunto em uma grande obra de teoria política. Suas ideias encontram-se dispersas em seus livros de história e textos de intervenção política, de modo que a dimensão contextual é elemento obrigatório deste trabalho, que procura compreender as ambiguidades dos autores e as transformações em suas formulações conceituais, relacionando-as a problemas políticos específicos enfrentados por eles.

La Orfebrería en la Creación Escultórica Venezolana Contemporánea. Alexis de la Sierra 1976-2010

García Guillén, María Graciela 02 September 2013 (has links)
La presente Tesis Doctoral, se orienta al estudio de la orfebrería en la creación escultórica venezolana contemporánea, bajo la influencia de la obra y docencia del orfebre Alexis De la Sierra, desde el año 1976 hasta el año 2010. Gracias a la obra de este artista venezolano, la disciplina de la orfebrería entra en el campo de la escultura y es reconocida a nivel de museo. Debido a la investigación constante de este artista, la orfebrería y la escultura se integran a procesos y métodos tecnológicos avanzados y con ello, logra desarrollar un lenguaje plástico que lo caracteriza como el pionero de la orfebrería escultórica en Venezuela. La repercusión de la obra de Alexis De la Sierra y la labor docente en su propia escuela de orfebres, ha logrado revivir este arte milenario en el país. Podemos considerarlo como el principal artista venezolano de la historia de la orfebrería escultórica, como una nueva corriente artística en Venezuela. Hoy en día, la importancia que tiene esta disciplina en salones de arte en Venezuela y la apertura de una gran cantidad de talleres de enseñanza, se debe a este prolífico artista. En este trabajo, se estudia en primer lugar el contexto de la disciplina de la orfebrería y la escultura en Venezuela, desde la época de la colonia hasta el año 2010, considerando que ambas disciplinas confluyen en la orfebrería escultórica. En segundo lugar, se desarrolla un perfil del orfebre venezolano actual, fundamentado en un trabajo de campo. Así como también, se analiza la producción de algunos orfebres venezolanos, cuyas obras expuestas y premiadas en salones de arte en Venezuela dejan evidencia de la evolución que ha derivado de la disciplina de la orfebrería hacia una tendencia escultórica. Finalmente, se estudia y analiza la obra del orfebre Alexis De la Sierra manifestando la importancia de su obra y docencia en la repercusión de la difusión y promoción de la orfebrería escultórica en Venezuela. / García Guillén, MG.

Démocratie et grandeur humaine chez Tocqueville

Bouchard, Éric 22 October 2019 (has links)
En 1831, l’aristocrate français Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) traverse l’Atlantique afin d’aller rencontrer l’avenir au coeur des États-Unis d’Amérique. Avant de s’embarquer pour cette aventure, il a déjà la certitude du caractère inévitable de l’égalisation des conditions. Bien que l’avènement de l’état social démocratique soit un «fait providentiel» aux yeux du jeune homme, il s’inquiète en constatant une certaine ambivalence quant à sa tournure politique. La république libérale n’est pas la conséquence politique nécessaire de l’état social démocratique; son contraire, le despotisme, doit aussi être sérieusement envisagé. L’Amérique devient donc une destination de choix afin d’y observer tout le potentiel démocratique, et livrer ensuite ses découvertes dans ce chef-d’oeuvre que constitue La Démocratie en Amérique (1835-1840). Ce «fait générateur» qu’est l’égalité des conditions, alors même qu’il ouvre un champ des possibles immense pour l’épanouissement humain, présente aussi un risque de déshumanisation. Afin de tirer le meilleur de la démocratie, l’homme doit éviter de sombrer dans l’apathie vis-à-vis la chose politique. Renoncer à ses devoirs de citoyen revient à abdiquer sa liberté, et donc tout espoir de grandeur. Tocqueville fournit dans son ouvrage un véritable éclaircissement de la démocratie dans ses tendances les plus secrètes, et il envisage certains contrepoids permettant de maintenir le fragile équilibre. Tocqueville se porte ainsi à la défense de la liberté et de la dignité humaines qu’il croit réellement menacées. L’état social démocratique constitue-t-il une terre fertile à la grandeur humaine? Quelles sont les conditions de possibilité du déploiement de cette grandeur? Et pour nous, presque deux siècles plus tard, les mots de Tocqueville ont-ils encore une certaine pertinence? À la lumière des réflexions de Tocqueville nourries par ses découvertes en sol américain, le présent mémoire essaie de montrer que démocratie et grandeur humaine ne sont pas incompatibles. / In 1831, the French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the heart of the United States of America in order to shed light upon the future of democracy. Before starting out on this adventure, he was already certain that social equality was inevitable. Even though, in his young eyes, the progression of the democratic social state was a “providential fact”, he became worried when he realized that there was a certain ambivalence concerning the political direction that the movement was taking. A democratic social state does not necessary lead to a liberal movement; its opposite, despotism, must seriously be taken into consideration. As such, America became his choice destination for observing all the democratic potential it had to offer, leading him to write his masterpiece Democracy in America (1835-1840), in which he shares his discoveries. Social equality opens an immense breadth of possibilities for human growth, but, at the same time, also presents a risk of dehumanization. In order to get the best out of democracy, humankind must avoid falling into apathy towards politics. Giving up one’s political responsibility is like abdicating one’s freedom and, as such, all hope for greatness. In his work, Tocqueville provides a true explanation of democracy, with all of its most secret orientations. He also provides measures that counterweight this nature, allowing for the fragile equilibrium to be maintained. In this manner, Tocqueville presents himself as the defender of human freedom and dignity, which he believes to be truly threatened. Does social equality allow for human greatness? If so, what conditions are required to deploy such greatness? Nearly two centuries later, are Tocqueville’s words still pertinent? In light of Tocqueville’s thoughts, which were fed by his discoveries on American soil, this dissertation attempts to demonstrate that democracy and human greatness are not incompatible.

Francis Bacon and the philosophic method of the Americans

Liebeskind, Jane Louise 22 September 2014 (has links)
The philosophy of Francis Bacon has an important and often overlooked place in the development of American political thought. John Dewey cites Bacon as the forefather of his own highly influential philosophical school, American pragmatism. I argue that, though Dewey is in many ways correct to look to Bacon as his predecessor, he overlooks or collapses certain crucial tensions in Bacon’s philosophical project. This causes Dewey to misinterpret the political implications of the philosophic project to which he himself is an heir. By exploring the tensions that Bacon maintains, and Dewey collapses, between human knowledge and human power, science and democracy, and progress in the sciences and progress within states, I hope to shed light on the true implications of Bacon’s philosophical project for American political thought. / text
