This diploma thesis is concerned with the issues of fatherhood in the works of Kenzaburō Ōe. This influential Japanese writer is a father of a handicapped child and the motifs of fatherhood are very important in his works. This thesis is concerned with various repeating father archetypes in a wide selection of Ōe's works between the years 1960 and 1990. It focuses on the dynamics between these archetypes and on relationships based on longing for a father figure. It also discusses a wider context of ideas on an ideal father present in the post-war Japanese society and selected events from Ōe's life that had influenced his understanding of fatherhood. Keywords: Kenzaburō Ōe, archetypes, fatherhood

In this study, I examine how congressional candidates present gendered identities on their campaign websites. In my theory of candidate gendered identity, drawn from literature on presentation of the self and gender performativity, I argue that candidates construct their personal identities in relation to universally understood archetypes, which stand for ideal representations of real-world characters or roles. Through an in-depth content analysis of the biographical pages of 2010 U.S. House of Representatives candidate campaign websites, I examine how candidates construct and perform a range of gender-based archetypal roles in various electoral contexts. Specifically, I look at how such factors as electoral context, candidate partisan identification, and incumbency status (or challenger status) determine the range of archetypal roles a candidate might choose to perform. What I find is that candidate gender matters, but only for some candidates in some contexts. For many candidates, these factors have an interacting effect on the manner in which a candidate presents his or her gender-based identity. This study contributes to our current understanding of how political candidates behave and present themselves in their political campaigns. In their efforts to connect with and gain the trust of potential voters, candidates present their personal identities through the performances of familiar archetypes with which those voters can easily identify.

As narrativas em torno da busca do Graal tiveram origem no século XI e foram de grande importância para fixar a imagem de um personagem típico da sociedade medieval, o cavaleiro, como um novo modelo heroico. Nesse sentido, os cavaleiros que encontraram o Graal nessas narrativas, especialmente no ciclo literário conhecido como Matéria da Bretanha, representam a configuração máxima desse paradigma. Esta pesquisa visa analisar a permanência de tal imagem no cinema, que é igualmente uma arte narrativa, como o eram as novelas de cavalaria que originaram o modelo. O corpus a ser analisado são três significativas obras do cineasta norte-americano Terry Gilliam que direta ou indiretamente retomam a questão do Graal: Monty Python em busca do Cálice sagrado (Monty Phyton and The Holy Grail, 1974), O pescador de ilusões (The Fisher King, 1991) e Os doze macacos (Twelve Monkeys, 1995). Assim, procura-se com esta tese traçar um panorama das retomadas da imagem literária e medieval dos cavaleiros no cinema, assim como observar as mudanças no padrão dessas imagens descritas literariamente para sua representação óptico-sonora / The narratives around the quest for the Grail originated in the XI century and were of great importance to fix the image of a typical character of medieval society , the knight , as a new heroic style. In this sense, the knights who found the Grail in these narratives, especially in the literary cycle known as the Matter of Britain, represent the maximum configuration of this paradigm . This research aims to examine the permanence of such an image on film , it is also a narrative art , as were the novels of chivalry which originated the style. The corpus to be analyzed are three significant works of American filmmaker Terry Gilliam who directly or indirectly reproduce the issue Grail : Monty Python and The Holy Grail , 1974; The Fisher King, 1991 and Twelve Monkeys, 1995. Thus, looking to give an overview of thesis resumed literary image and medieval knights in film, as well as observe the changes in the pattern of these images described literarily to optical - sound representation

Este trabalho objetiva investigar e compreender sobre os câmbios estéticos da figura do anjo na publicidade e suas inúmeras significações representadas simbolicamente em campanhas e anúncios. Por ser objeto de estudo ressurgente, o anjo torna-se mito atemporal, que transpassa os séculos, atualizando-se como imagem, a fim de adaptar-se aos preceitos da contemporaneidade. Em face disso, esta produção científica será embasada em pesquisa teórica e qualitativa obtendo resultados através da coleta de anúncios retirados de meios impressos e internet, tendo como suporte antropológico a História da Arte e consequentemente o campo da Estética da Comunicação. Visa, dessa forma, compreender o mito alado e seu desmembramento em arquétipos, de maneira que permita analisar a utilização do símbolo como linguagem, pois ao permitir que a leitura do mundo seja realizada através do seu constante ressurgimento como mito, o anjo se recontextualiza através de mudanças estéticas, buscando tornar-se sempre atual para a sociedade, sendo representado imageticamente de distintas formas na publicidade. / This study has the objective to investigate and understand about the aesthetic changes at Angel figure in the advertising and its many meanings, represented symbolically in campaigns and ads. By be object of study resurgent, the angel becomes timeless myth that pierces the centuries and has been updated as image in order to adapt to the precepts of contemporary times. On the face of it, this scientific output will be grounded in research theoric and qualitative, through getting results by collecting removed ads from printed and internet media, having as anthropological support the Art history and consequently the field of Aesthetics of Communication . Visa thus understand the winged myth and its dismemberment in archetypes, so that the analysis of the use of this symbol as language, can allowing the reading of the world through of its constant resurgence as myth, this way the angel is recontextualised through changes aesthetic, seeking to become ever present to society and be represented imagetically in different ways in the advertising.

The aim of this thesis is to identify the key characters used in a marketing campaign of Staropramen and based on their impact on the selected members of target group of the company to determine what archetype this campaign use. Analyzed campaign is communication of the company implemented in 2014 to celebrate the 145th anniversary of the brewery in Smíchov. I analyze this campaign using qualitative marketing research, focus group method, based on associations. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of the archetype role as a powerful tool companies can use for brand building. Conclusion of this thesis is to determine the archetype that in this communication Staropramen uses. The archetype is representative of the group Nobody is lonely island called Everyman. This thesis is part of a complex semiotic research of Staropramen brand and its communication.

In this master thesis, a methodology is proposed for building stock classification and archetype building development based on deterministic information available in Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) of existing buildings in the city of Uppsala.This study aims to answer if the EPC database can be used as a reliable data source for archetype development and further UBEM models.The EPC data is cleaned and organised using Matlab. The building stock is then categorised into archetypes by energy performance and building characteristics and a model of each archetype building is created in the software EnergyPlus.The South-West part of Uppsala is used as a case study and to represent the building stock of that area 20 archetypes is developed. Simulations in EnergyPlus shows that the defined archetypes is a reliable estimation of buildings in Sweden with the same characteristics and construction period.By using GIS data the results can be aggregated to city level with the resulting total energy demand for heating calculated to 1455,7 GWh, compared to the actual value of 1397,0 GWh.The lack of validation data on a smaller scale is a large issue for this study, as well as some issues with data reliability in the EPCs. Despite this, the results of this study points to that the gathered values are a decent enough estimate to make a reliable assumption of the total energy demand for heating. The EPCs thus provide a useful source of data for energy demand purposes and building characteristics.

Over the course of this thesis, three of Hermann Hesse’s novels will be examined – Demian (1919), Der Steppenwolf (1927), and Siddhartha (1922) – as performative texts in order to demonstrate how Hesse presents a blueprint of ideal paths to personal enlightenment through common themes that flow through his works, such as breaking out, creation and destruction, and Jungian archetypes. These themes will be compared to Nietzsche’s work on the transformation of the soul. Each of these performative texts by Hesse present a unique opportunity, not only to enjoy a masterful tale of such vivid characters, but also a chance for readers to discover for themselves a new access to peace of mind.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine a potential cognitive mechanism for simultaneous processing of age, race, and gender schemas. Marcus and Fritzsche (2014) propose that the outcome of the tripartite relationship of age, race, and sex are associated with archetypes, and that these archetypes categorize different intersections uniquely. To facilitate this, age groups selected were “old” and “young”, race groups selected were “Black” and “White”, and sex/gender groups selected were “female” and “male”. Several photographs representing each intersection were selected from LinkedIn for use in the pilot study, which were rated via a survey measuring the target’s stereotype, and the items included were chosen with the intent of selecting archetypal pictures for the main study that were the relatively equivalent across several dimensions. The main study used the selected photographs to address perceptions of participants (n=84) regarding adjectives used to represent each of the eight archetype conditions. Results suggest partial support for the proposed archetype theory, but the study faced limitations with respects to the photographs used in the main study. Inconsistencies with the literature suggest that the archetypes may been measured improperly, were conceived incorrectly, or do not exist. However, this study serves as a step towards understanding the complex relationship between a person’s age, race, and sex.
