Environmentally - appropriate architectural works are considered by certain critics as relatively oriented without any theoretical basis other than a technicist perspective. Furthermore, this technicist approach, which puts emphasis on the application of scientific rationality, is supposed as being challenged through an arcadian agenda, which claims the return to pre-industrial values through the revival of the vernacular. In the thesis, it is argued that contrary to the assumptions that the green architecture is highly relativistic depending on the ideological standpoints, it is founded upon a holistic philosophy established on the studies pursued by post-war ecological scientists who followed systems approach. It is claimed that the aforementioned duality between the technicist and the arcadian approaches finds its expression in the contemporary green architecture depending on the philosophical framework provided by the systems approach. Systems sciences deal with the ways in which elements of a certain whole come together to make up an organization. Its main principle is that a particular element can only be studied with regard to the totality of which it belongs. Ecologists who endow a systems perspective study on the assembly rules through which living and nonliving members of biological systems are organized into groups. In this thesis, it is put forward that the philosophical outlook and methodology that came along with the systems thinking offers a basis for green architecture. It is provided a historical-analytical survey of the emergence of the systems approach in the architectural discipline since the 60s. It is argued that the 60s appropriation of the systems approach in architecture is still influential in the contemporary green architecture / that today&amp / #8217 / s architects utilize the theories and methods put forward throughout this process of appropriation in their works, alongside the scientific terminology developed by the systems ecologists.

The special relationship of patrons, librettists, and composers, in the Accademia degli'Arcadia in Rome from 1700-1710 appears in Alessandro Scarlatti's settings of Antonio Ottoboni's cantata librettos in the anthology GB Lbm. Add. 34056. An examination of Arcadian cantatas and their texts reveals the nature of their audience, function, and their place within the historical development of the genre. The conversazione cantata did not exist outside of Rome and was popular for only a brief period in the early eighteenth century. Critical examination of primary sources, including minutes from the Arcadian Academy meetings as well as household documents regarding the Cardinals Ottoboni and Pamphili, Prince Ruspoli, and other noble families, sheds light on the culture of the Arcadian Academy and the cantata within it, broader study clarifies the individuality of the conversazione cantata within Rome, and closer study of the contribution of the greatest cantata composer 1700-1710, Alessandro Scarlatti.

These poets lived and produced in distinct centuries. Gregório de Matos was a poet in the 17th century and Tomás Antônio Gonzaga in the 18th century. This work investigates the satirical ways that both poets poeticize, often convergent, promoting a fruitful continuity of the satire in Brazilian literature. Moreover, it aims to distinguish and value the particularities of its inventive act. This study also aims to demonstrate that the historical factor is not a determining element of the artistic quality of the satirical poem, but is such for the thematic quality of the like, relating to the aforementioned poems. According to the final considerations, one can conclude that the satirical compositions reviewed were led by the poetry of two artists that revolutionized the verse of their time from the 17th and 18th centuries' poetic meter and through a subtle understanding of the world. / Esta dissertação é um estudo comparativo entre alguns poemas satíricos de Gregório de Matos e Guerra e o poema epistolar Cartas Chilenas, de Tomás Antônio Gonzaga. Estes poetas viveram e produziram em séculos distintos. Gregório de Matos foi poeta no século XVII, e Tomás Antônio Gonzaga, no século XVIII. Este trabalho investiga os modos satíricos de poetar de ambos, às vezes convergentes, às vezes divergentes, promovendo uma continuidade fecunda da Sátira na Literatura Brasileira. Além disso, visa a distinguir e valorizar as particularidades de seu ato inventivo. Este estudo também busca demonstrar que o fator histórico não é elemento determinante para a qualidade artística do poema, mas, nos poetas citados, é parte integrante de sua temática. As considerações finais permitem afirmar que as composições satíricas tratadas se conduziram pela poesia de dois artistas que recriaram sua época em versos por meio da medida poética dos séculos XVII e XVIII, e por um sutil entendimento do mundo.

This study identifies and describes constituents, patterns and distribution of the system –or systems- of demonstratives of a representative selection of early Greek dialects, namely the “Arcado-Cyprian” group: Arcadian and Cyprian, including a short analysis of Pamphylian as well as a discussion of the particle νι/νυ and a brief note on Mycenaean; the “Aeolic” group: Lesbian, Boeotian and Thessalian; and a selection of West Greek dialects, including both “Doric” and “Northwest Greek” dialects: Elean, Cretan, Laconian, Cyrenaean and Theran. It also examines, describes and compares the syntactic functions and, where possible, pragmatic uses of the series of demonstratives in operation in the selected dialects, providing a classification capable of accounting for all uses cross-dialectically, as well as a succinct account of the evolution of the system of demonstratives from Indo-European to “Ancient Greek”. Additionally, it offers a glimpse of the way in which deixis and anaphora seem to have worked in early Greek dialectal inscriptions, addressing the issue of defining demonstrative pronouns, as well as deixis and anaphora in general terms. Finally, this thesis provides the basis for a cross-dialectal comparison of the structure and operation of the different systems of demonstratives, and corrects some general misconceptions about the scope, usage and inter-dialectal connections of some series of demonstratives, particularly with regard to Arcadian and Cyprian. The results of such a study might contribute towards the discussion of the classification and history of the evolution of early Greek dialects.

For such a task we chose as an object for this research one of the most popular texts from Brazilian Poetry: Marília de Dirceu written by Tomas Antonio Gonzaga in the late XVIII century. The choice of this work was motivated not only for its popularity among poetry readers, but especially because we believe that in this text the limits or boundaries between the lyrical self and the poet are so fragile that even the autobiographical features of the author are now projected on to the lyrical self in a kind of narcissistic mirror. However, one of the most essential characteristics of Arcadian Poetry (Arcadismo) is the pastoral convention where the poet pretends to be a "shepherd" that gives voice to this fictional entity instead of his true self and his personal biography. That is one of the reason why Gonzaga's text represents a breakthrough from the traditional thinking of Arcadian Poetry. From a methodology of theoretical investigation into the concepts of language, discourse and literature, we try to understand the construction of the poem, its lyricism and how through the literary mimesis the alterities of the poetical text are established. All these are fundamental to the understanding of Arcadian Poetry. With these theoretical considerations and a brief research into the origins of Arcadian Poetry and its manifestations in Portugal and Brazil we tried to verify our hypothesis in the lyric poems created by Gonzaga. The result made us realize that the Arcadian canons were in fact followed in part of the work especially when the lyrical self as the character called Dirceu idealizes a happy world with his beloved Marília. Nevertheless, when Gonzaga is arrested suspected of taking part in Inconfidência Mineira and he has to write in prison, both the poet and the "shepherd" are now intermingled with each other reflecting the mutual dependency that both have and thus making the boundaries between fiction and reality even more delicate / A dissertação que ora apresentamos preocupou-se em averiguar como se estabelecem os limites fronteiriços entre a entidade literária que é o eu lírico , criação de um autor, e a entidade do mundo real, criadora do texto, que é o poeta. Para tanto, escolhemos como objeto de pesquisa um dos textos mais populares da poética brasileira: o livro de poemas líricos Marília de Dirceu, escrito por Tomás Antonio Gonzaga, em finais do século XVIII. A escolha de tal obra foi-nos motivada não só por sua popularidade entre os leitores de poesia, mas também porque acreditamos que nela o limite entre o eu lírico e o poeta se torne bastante tênue, a ponto de traços autobiográficos do autor se projetarem na figura do eu lírico , num espelhamento narcísico. Uma vez que no Arcadismo um dos traços marcantes é a convenção pastoril e o poeta, fingindo-se de pastor , concede voz a uma entidade ficcional em que se apagam a sua identidade e sua biografia pessoal, o texto de Gonzaga representaria uma ruptura aos cânones do período. A partir de uma metodologia de investigação teórica sobre conceitos relativos à linguagem, ao discurso e à literatura, procuramos entender melhor a construção da poesia, do seu lirismo e de como, através da mimese literária, se estabelecem as alteridades no texto poético, conhecimentos fundamentais para trabalharmos com a poesia árcade. Com tais levantamentos teóricos e uma breve pesquisa sobre a formação do Arcadismo e suas manifestações em Portugal e no Brasil, partimos para a verificação de nossas hipóteses nas liras de Gonzaga. O resultado deste trajeto acadêmico, aqui apresentado, nos levou a perceber que os cânones árcades se cumprem em parte na obra, quando o eu lírico , na figura do pastor Dirceu, idealiza um mundo feliz com sua amada Marília. No entanto, quando Gonzaga é preso, como suspeito de participação na Inconfidência Mineira, ao escrever suas liras na masmorra, poeta e pastor se imbricam numa única entidade que passa a refletir relações de mútua dependência, tornando a fronteira entre a literatura e a realidade cada vez mais imprecisa
