The 1632 appointment of Van Dyck as Court Painter by King Charles I changed the course of art in England. But in spite of its importance, the dynamics and mechanics of this event remain imperfectly understood. This paper suggests that one determining factor was the influence of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham. An early admirer of Van Dyck, Buckingham in turn incarnated the young artist's own aspirations to aristocratic status. For Charles, the Duke was a personal partner and aesthetic alter-ego whose presence in the King's psyche remained strong long after Buckingham's assassination in 1628. The examination of certain of Van Dyck's paintings of the 1620's shows how the interlocking agendas and affinities of the three men combined to affect the evolution of English art.

Abstract The purpose of the 6-week qualitative study was to explore how Grade 1 children responded to five picturebooks by Anthony Browne during interactive read-alouds. The 13 participants and the other non-participants were organized into four mixed gender and mixed reading-ability groups. Data included transcripts from 20 small group read-aloud sessions and field notes that documented additional student affective responses to the texts. Other data included the children’s drawings that were completed after each picturebook small group read-aloud session, as well as transcripts of the students’ individual interviews about their artistic responses. Coding of student conversation turns during the read-aloud sessions revealed the identification of six categories of statements. These six categories were then applied to the students’ individual interview data to facilitate comparison between the two settings. The artwork and interviews of three students were analyzed as three individual cases and represented a sample of student readers of differing abilities. Data analysis of the read-aloud session transcripts revealed that labeling statements accounted for approximately one-third of all student comments. The remaining students’ statements were categorized as following: approximately one-quarter were character description, one-fifth were ‘other,’ (i.e. indecipherable statements and/or off-topic comments), approximately one-tenth were character feeling, less than one-tenth were autobiographical, and a small amount were intertextual in nature. The comparison of the three focus children’s individual interviews to their small group conversations revealed that the children generated a greater number of autobiographical statements during the individual interviews about their art. Implications for research and pedagogy included teaching and conducting research about visual literacy that involves pre- and post-treatment study, and examining children’s conversations about characters in picturebooks by numerous authors. / Graduate

This set of elements becomes a rich field to analyze the interactions between individuals as "social actors". Considering its social and cultural vitality is that we propose to analyze the Feast of St. Anthony of Stick of Flag, held annually in the city of Barbalha, Ceara State, which includes the June festivities and expressions of popular religiosity site. I propose to reflect on the party dynamics, expressed in an extraordinary time, which articulates relations and ways of interactions between individuals and groups involved in the expectation processes, preparation and holding of the party in order to identify how changes and continuities contribute to its constant achievement. We show that the continuation of the festival is by renewal of interest and participation of individuals, which in turn is renewed, so reframe the party, that being the same, is continuously another. / A festa é um fenômeno social que possibilita múltiplas interpretações, essa multiplicidade advém da diversidade dos elementos que a articula e compõe, sejam a cultura, a religiosidade, a identidade individual e coletiva, os símbolos, rituais, o divertimento (a partir da ludicidade), a política, economia, turismo, etc. É um fenômeno temporal, visto que se identifica o tempo de festa e também espacial, pois os lugares da festa (a rua, a praça, a casa, a igreja, o terreiro, etc.) expressam além do consenso, as tensões e os conflitos. Este conjunto de elementos torna-se um campo rico para se analisar as interações entre os indivíduos como ―agentes sociais‖. Considerando sua vitalidade social e cultural é que propomos analisar a Festa do Pau da Bandeira de Santo Antônio, que ocorre anualmente na Cidade de Barbalha, Estado do Ceará, que integra as festividades juninas e as expressões da religiosidade popular local. Proponho-me refletir sobre a dinâmica da festa, expressa num tempo extraordinário, que articula as relações e formas de interações entre os indivíduos e grupos envolvidos nos processos de expectativa, preparação e realização da festa, buscando identificar como as mudanças e continuidades contribuem para sua constante realização. Mostraremos que a continuação da festa se dá pela renovação dos interesses e da participação dos indivíduos, que consequentemente se renova, resignificando assim a festa, que sendo a mesma, é continuamente outra.

The aim of this thesis is to compare two distinct principles of making new linguistic style and their role in fictional society. The thesis will present both novels (Burgess' A Clockwork Orange and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four) and then it will focus on function and principles of making neologisms used in these novels. In the end the thesis will focus on summarization of both principles and it will analyze the language role in both novels.

The diploma thesis called ?Globalization ? sociological reflection. Conception of globalization by Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman and Ulrich Beck? reflects the question, how sociological thinking deals with the phenomenon of globalization. In the introduction part of the Thesis is a basic outline of sociological perspective on globalization issues and this historical roots. The main part is devoted to comparing the concept of globalization of the three major sociological theorists, Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman and Ulrich Beck, which includes a detailed analysis of the works related to the theme of globalization. The relevant sections of the Thesis pays attention to the key topics that are discussed in the context of globalization in the field of contemporary social theory (globalization, localization and glocalization, denacionalization, the convergence of global culture, etc.). This Thesis is based on the key works of these authors, their reaction in the scientific community and my own critical analysis.
