abstract: W.A. Mozart was a masterful creator of music and drama as well as a keen observer of human relationships. Librettists were enamored of his ability to bring their words to life with his music. His truthful portrayal of human relationships, particularly involving women, was highly influenced by his own life experiences. Through these relationships he learned to create characters and music that clearly depict female sibling relationships in the eighteenth century. A review of educational opportunities for women during the eighteenth century, Mozart's personal relationships, as well as selected roles in his operas will help to explain Mozart's portrayal of the eighteenth-century female sibling stereotypes. While Mozart's self-centeredness is well documented in biographies by Cliff Eisen and Ruth Halliwell, and the argument can be made that he surrounded himself with females who fulfilled his needs, he was often drawn to operas in which he could advocate musically for a female character's liberation from the overbearing influence of powerful men. Although Mozart's "musically empowered" women appear in nearly every opera, for the purpose of this paper, I will focus on the characters of Così fan tutte's Fiordiligi and Dorabella, and Le Nozze di Figaro's Countess. First, however, a closer analysis of Mozart's early life and his relationships with his sister and mother is necessary. The ways Mozart set characters created by DaPonte and Beaumarchais cannot be separated from the ways he was taught to appreciate females in his family of origin. Social structure during the eighteenth century dictated a woman's education, responsibility to her family, and therefore, played a fundamental role in defining her life. This situation often created expectations within the birth order that had an impact on sibling relationships as well as individual personalities. Many social and familial influences are represented through the operas of Mozart. Così fan tutte (January 26, 1790) and Le Nozze di Figaro (May 1, 1786) both contain a central female sibling relationship that reflects aspects of Mozart's relationships with women throughout his life. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Performance 2010

abstract: Antonio López de Santa Anna (1794-1876) is considered as one of the biggest villains of Mexican history. This frequent president in the first decades of Independence of México is the main character portrayed in the novels analyzed in this dissertation: Su alteza serenísima (1895-1896) by Ireneo Paz, Santa Anna, el dictador resplandeciente (1936) by Rafael F. Muñoz, El seductor de la patria (1999) by Enrique Serna, and México mutilado (2006) by Francisco Martín Moreno. Many Mexican novelists have tackled iconic personalities from Mexican history. However, based upon the historical context that occurred within their lifetime, each author takes a different approach to the story and characters they portray. In the novel Su alteza serenísima, Santa Anna is presented with identical characteristics as in the official history. That was written for other liberals, like Paz, the author. In El dictador resplandeciente an image almost romantic of the leader is presented through the valorization of his role in history. The narrator shows the contradictions of Santa Anna, who was a hero and villain. Santa Anna is presented from different perspectives in El seductor de la patria. The narrator uses Santa Anna's voice projecting a consciousness of the future's judgment of history upon his actions and the voices of "the others" that live around him. In México mutilado Santa Anna is presented from the same perspective as the official history, although other traitors are added to distribute the fault among various important figures. This dissertation works through the analysis of the discursive mechanisms used in these novels, of the configuration of the message that they wish to convey to the reader, of the level of re-writing official history, of the perspective from which each author is reviewing the history, of the recount of what historical aspects and voices were chosen for inclusion in each novel, and through the evaluation of how the authors recover the figure of Santa Anna. This study follows an eclectic model of cultural commentary, taking up critical concepts from Latin American literary scholars such as Perkowska, Pons, Jitrik, Aínsa, among others. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Spanish 2011

Theoretical part of my thesis is focused on work of the American playwright Eugen O'Neill, specifically his drama Anna Christie. On the basis of the text of the drama I did try to make an insight into the story and analysis of the characters of the main protagonists. I hereby present my own analysis of the work, timeframe atmosphere, study of the archetypes and places, where the story took place. I try to catch up the poetic atmosphere created by the endless of the sea. For better understanding I am amending the study for factual information which describes life stories of the main protagonists even beyond the horizon of the playwright. I am as well presenting selected productions of the Anna Christie's and compare their visual adaptation with my own conception of it. I am describing and explaining my own approach to the scenographic conception of this play.  In explication part I am focusing on practical part of my thesis and other assignments I worked on during my master's study.

O sexo passa a ser um dos protagonistas da cena pós-moderna, transformado em espetáculo. Para Roland Barthes, no século XX, o amor é obsceno, em lugar do sexo. Ao amor, reserva-se um espaço exíguo, enquanto que, para o sexo, a excessiva publicidade. Muitos exemplares da literatura pop contemporânea, como Sexo, de André Sant´Anna (1999), exibem esse panorama descrito. No romance em questão, o amor encontra apenas um espaço ínfimo destinado a si. O amor e o desejo sexual estão voltados para o que há de mais fragmentário no corpo. Com o ser humano transformado em coisa e o sexo convertido em espetáculo, os relacionamentos deixam de ser orientados pelo ideal romântico de amor e passam a ser pautados pela busca de prazer sexual. A partir da leitura de Sexo, pretende-se observar, por um viés interdisciplinar, como o sentimento amoroso se configura no âmbito da sociedade pós-moderna de consumo. No mundo pós-moderno, como o que é habitado pelas personagens de Sexo, o vínculo amoroso é transitório, passível de ser rompido a qualquer instante. O prazer é a meta estabelecida por aqueles que desejam construir conexões. Perdendo o caráter subversivo, o corpo é submetido a um excesso de estímulos e a sexualidade é manifestada como mais um estilo de vida a ser consumido. / Salvador

Applying a historical approach which contextualizes ethnic and gender perspectives, this thesis investigates the obstacles that second-generation Chinese American women encountered as they moved into the public sphere. This included sexual restraints at home and racial harassment outside. This study examines, as well, the opportunities that stimulated these women to break from their confinements. Anna May Wong and Hazel Ying Lee will serve as two role models among this second generation of women who successfully combined their cultural heritage with their education in the U.S. Their contributions inspired a whole generation of young bi-cultural women of their time. I will argue that, although the second generation had gone through cultural acculturation and resistance toward American mainstream culture, they constructed their new Chinese American identity during World War II through a synthesis of their contribution to the gender relations and ethnic identification in nationalist project.

Uppsatsen undersöker och jämför tre forskares och fem gymnasieelevers tolkningar av några olika aspekter av Bram Stokers verk Dracula. I uppsatsen har Judith Langers och Johnathan Cullers teorier inspirerat utformningen av frågeställningen som berör påverkan av litterära och andra erfarenheter. Undersökningens resultat och analys visar på både skillnader och likheter mellan forskarnas och elevernas olika tolkningar, inte minst vad gäller sexualitetens betydelse i verket. Undersökningen har också visat att elevernas tidigare erfarenheter påverkat förväntningarna på Dracula, men inte påverkat förståelsen eller tolkningarna negativt utan istället hjälpt dem genom verket.

Hur gestaltas en politisk skandal i nyhetsmedia? Anna Kinberg Batra och Håkan Juholt är två exempel på politiska ledare som tvingats lämna sina poster, bland annat efter hårt tryck från medierna. Efter Kinberg Batras avgång som partiledare för Moderaterna väcktes debatten om hennes könstillhörighet samt roll som kvinnlig ledare inom den politiska sfären. Juholts politiska skandal bemöttes även den hårt i media och utgjorde det mediedrev som slutligen skulle leda till hans avgång. Genom att jämföra den politiska skandalen som kretsade kring Kinberg Batra samt den som cirkulerade kring Juholt, ämnar studien att undersöka om det går att utläsa några betydande skillnader i nyhetsrapporteringen av de båda fallen. De frågeställningar som studien utgår från behandlar Svenska Dagbladets gestaltning av Kinberg Batra och Juholt, samt de eventuella skillnader som går att se mellan de två politiska skandalerna. Genom en konkretisering av van Dijks kritiska diskursanalys studerades åtta stycken nyhetsartiklar från Svenska Dagbladet. Artiklarna avser perioden för partiledarnas avgångar och analyseras utifrån teorier som representation, genus och framing. Utöver dessa teorier presenteras även tidigare forskning inom politisk kommunikation, mediedrev samt kvinnlig och manlig representation i media. Resultatet av undersökningen påvisar skillnader och likheter mellan de två fallen. Slutsatserna av resultatet kan därmed konstatera att de skillnader som är framstående i rapporteringen främst kan härledas till frågan om genus samt nyhetsmedias framställning av de båda fallen. De likheter som kan utläsas i rapporteringen av de två före detta partiledarna visar på att de båda mer eller mindre har beskrivits utifrån personliga attribut.

Questions that the research aims to answer are: how many were after? Data parish deaths allow us to study mortality in Town? To conduct the research, first appealed to the population maps of the years 1777, 1810, 1811, 1824, 1844, 1853; censuses of 1872 and 1890. As well, the first two books of burials / deaths of the Parish, the first dating from 1788 to 1811 and the second from 1812 to 1838 and a book of baptism 1803-1806. Among the findings it was realized that, for now, the question of knowing, "After all, how many were?" Still cannot be answered, because during the analysis we noticed a high rate of underreporting, demonstrated through a study of the first infant mortality, in which the records we have was very high, which goes against the pre-transitional period, but with the exercise of inverse projection found the opposite, a population that would have a life expectancy higher. Demonstrating the problem of underreporting. Infant deaths occur mainly with the male children in the first months of the year due to infectious causes, and in the early days and weeks, we raised a hypothesis is that these deaths have as a backdrop the poor condition of the mother leading to poor training child, thus leading to his early death / Pesquisar a mortalidade na Freguesia da Gloriosa Sant?Anna, sert?o do Rio Grande do Norte no recorte temporal de 1788 a 1838 ? o objetivo principal da presente investiga??o. As perguntas ?s quais a pesquisa se prop?e a responder s?o: afinal quantos ?ramos? Os dados paroquiais de ?bitos nos permitem estudar a mortalidade na Freguesia? Para realizar a pesquisa; primeiro recorreu-se aos mapas populacionais dos anos de 1777, 1810, 1811, 1824, 1844, 1853; os censos de 1872 e 1890. Como tamb?m, os dois primeiros livros de enterros/?bitos da Freguesia; o primeiro datado de 1788 a 1811 e o segundo de 1812 a 1838 e um livro de batismo de 1803 a 1806. Entre os resultados encontrados percebeu-se que, por enquanto, o questionamento de sabermos, Afinal, quantos ?ramos? ainda n?o pode ser respondido, pois durante a an?lise percebemos um alto ?ndice de sub-registros, demostrado atrav?s de um estudo primeiro da mortalidade infantil, na qual pelos registros que temos era muito alta, o que vai de encontro com o per?odo Pr?-transicional, por?m com o exerc?cio de proje??o inversa constatou-se o contr?rio, uma popula??o que teria uma esperan?a de vida elevada. Demostrando o problema de sub-registros. Os ?bitos infantis ocorrem principalmente com as crian?as do sexo masculino, nos primeiros meses do ano por causas infecciosas, e nos primeiros dias e semanas, uma hip?tese que levantamos ? que essas mortes tenham como pano de fundo as condi??es prec?rias da m?e acarretando a m? forma??o da crian?a, culminando assim com sua morte precoce

No primeiro âmbito, a relação entre Freud e a sexualidade da mulher é discutida pela sua relação com sua filha Anna Freud. No segundo âmbito, apresenta-se a escrita do caso clínico de Anna Freud, também sua paciente. Já no terceiro âmbito, faz-se um mapeamento de ideias que versam sobre a sexualidade da mulher na obra de Freud, no sentido de apresentar a evolução teórica pela qual a obra passa ao longo do tempo. Esse percurso, em seus três primeiros âmbitos, é feito como um retorno à Freud, indispensável para se chegar ao último âmbito desse estudo, que é a psicanálise contemporânea. Nesse sentido, serão apresentadas as ideias de autores da psicanálise contemporânea sobre a crise que está na teoria e no trabalho de tratamento frente às demandas atuais. Só após essa abordagem geral da crise é que se passará para a crítica das concepções atuais acerca da sexualidade da mulher, sob o viés psicanalítico. O trabalho é concluído com a construção de diretrizes que podem servir ao trabalho de psicanálise na atualidade, afirmando seu status de clínica da sexualidade da mulher. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This work aims to present Freud`s relation with women s sexuality, primarily in three areas: personal relations, clinical and theoretical. In the first area, the relationship between Freud and women s sexuality is discussed through his relationship with his daughter Anna Freud. In the second part, we present the written clinical case of Anna Freud, also his patient. In the third part, ideas that deal with women's sexuality in Freud's work are mapped out in order to present the theoretical evolution of this construct in his work over time. This course, with its first three areas, is important as a return to Freud, essential to reach the last area of this study, which is contemporary psychoanalysis. In this sense, we present ideas from contemporary psychoanalysis authors about the crisis that is faced by theory and treatment work regarding current demands. Only after this general approach about the crisis, will be presented the critique of the current conceptions about women's sexuality under the psychoanalytical theory. This work is completed with the construction of guidelines that can serve the work of psychoanalysis today, claiming its status of women's sexuality clinic.

Après avoir lu Ensemble, c'est tout et Je l'aimais, j'ai commencé à m'intéresser aux personnages principaux féminins dans les deux romanes. À mon avis, les deux jeunes femmes, Camille et Chloé, sont dépeintes de la même façon. Je les ai trouvées des femmes très traditionnelles dans leurs rôles. Un peu étonnant quand on sait que l'écrivaine est une jeune femme. Dans mon mémoire je voudrais analyser les personnages principaux chez Anna Gavalda dans les romans Ensemble, c'est tout et Je l'aimais. J'étudierai les femmes aussi bien que les hommes pour mieux comprendre la situation des femmes.
