This paper introduces the Bodymind model of Art Therapy and delineates the processes through which it has salutary effects on individuals coping with a variety of health related challenges. The goal of this model is to articulate how activation, reorganization, growth and reintegration of the self can emerge from bodymind processes activated by art therapy. It provides a framework for the conduct of research that will test the key theoretical mechanisms through which art therapy benefits clients. We expect this model to be a spring board for discussion, debate and development of the profession of art therapy. Furthermore, we hope readers can use this model to conduct sound mechanistic studies. This paper can inform social scientists and medical professionals on the manner in which art making can contribute to health.

This thesis addresses how female beauty was understood in the eighteenth century and aims to build on and expand the existing scholarship from Robert Jones, Tita Chico, Tassie Gwilliam, G. J. Barker-Benfield and Naomi Baker, amongst others. Each of these scholars has discussed various areas of beauty, including taste, cosmetics, sensibility, gender and, for Baker, the opposite to beauty, ugliness. Building on these areas of study, this thesis will address the concept of beauty in both its physical and moral sense. That is, the connection of the beautiful body with the ideas or associations it has come to signify. For example, the beautiful female body usually informs readings of virtue, morality, goodness, but, in some cases, beauty can be read as wantonness, immorality and foolishness. In order to navigate these contradictory associations, the thesis has been split into category chapters and divided into two parts. The first part will examine beauty's physiognomic origins, its role in aesthetic philosophy, and its artistic expression. In the second part, with a more literary focus, the concept of beauty will be discussed in connection to its moral associations, the effects of cosmetics and health, and how concerns for reading the body are considered in the mid-century's moral novels. The evidence for the thesis will include various types of literature, including scientific and artistic treatises, fairytales, letters, advertisements, recipe books, cosmetic manuals, poetry and prose fiction. Although the scope of this thesis is wide reaching, the relationship between the body and mind, that is, the legibility of the inner qualities on the external signs of the body, remains very much at its centre. These numerous and varying examples have been chosen to demonstrate how influential this connection really was in the period, and how it informs the understanding of female beauty in the eighteenth-century.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Partindo da premissa de que o paciente em coma é um sujeito, e que o seu processo comatoso é uma alteração do estado de vida, em contraposição ao imaginário social que lhe atribui estereótipos de sono próximo a morte, inércia, suspensão de sua vida mental e impotência. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo demonstrar que o coma é demarcado no limite entre o caos e o desejo na medida em que cada paciente vivencia o processo comatoso de forma singular e demarcado conforme sua experiência subjetiva, implementando movimentos em direção a processos de vida ou de morte. Para tanto foram utilizados análise de casos clínicos, entrevistas com médicos, familiares e pacientes que saíram do coma, além de pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando a psicanálise como arcabouço teórico que fundamenta as inferências e conclusões propostas nesta dissertação. / Assuming that the comatose patient is a human been, and that his comatose process is an altered state of life, in contrast to the picture that gives you social stereotypes sleep near death, inertia, suspension of your mental life and impotence. This dissertation aims to demonstrate that the coma is demarcated the border between chaos and desire in that each patient experiences the process of natural Comatose shape and marked according to their subjective experience, moves toward implementing processes of life or death . For this analysis of clinical cases, interviews with doctors, patients and family members who came out of the coma were used in addition to literature, using psychoanalysis as a theoretical framework that underlies the inferences and conclusions proposed in this dissertation.

A expectativa, ao longo do processo, é saber se os dançarinos participantes percebem diferenças em seu treino cotidiano após terem vivenciado o processo proposto. Para captar a idéia de cada participante sobre dançar, treinar e sobre o processo vivido durante o presente estudo foram utilizados entrevistas e observação de desempenho dos dançarinos enquanto realizavam seus treinos (gravados em vídeo), antes e depois de passarem pelo processo do Método Feldenkrais de Educação Somática. Os dados obtidos foram analisados com métodos qualitativos explicitados no decorrer da análise. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram a expectativa de que os dançarinos podem ser beneficiados pelo Método Feldenkrais de Educação Somática / Abstract: The present study takes as its starting point the idea that the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education can be an interesting partner in the training and development of dancers of different techniques and styles. The expectation over the proceedings is whether the dancers perceive differences in their training routine after having experienced the process proposed. In order to capture the idea of each participant on dance, train and on the process experienced during this study I used interviews and observation of performance while the dancers perform their practice (videotaped), before and after undergoing the process of the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. The data are analyzed with qualitative methods. The results confirm the expectation that the dancers can benefit from the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education / Mestrado / Artes Cenicas / Mestre em Artes

This premise leads us to analyze the relations between politics and corporeity, since the fabrication of a body is a way of experiencing time, and politics is not simply a question of a circuit of goods and riches, ways of regulating inequalities socioeconomic variables. The body is the instrument through which our struggles, our risks, our affective implication in the community pass. By serving as a kind of colonizing catch and investing in individual neoliberalist ownership, historical, economic, cultural, linguistic, and other aspects that are (re) produced in ways of life are updated. These experiences can be perpetuated in a distance between the bodies or in the production of encounters as spaces of rupture to the current system. Here we were interested in following another experience of knowledge, possible and real in the process of the production of subjectivity. Stagnating it means coagulating fissures, accidents, mutations, and therefore, committing ourselves to the eternal search for the best model, pointing guilty, judging procedures, speaking on behalf of others, denouncing "irregularities", tutelary the object / Pensar a problematização do sujeito trabalhador requer questionar sobre as formas que a existência social pode tomar. Tal premissa leva a analisar as relações entre política e corporeidade pois, a fabricação de um corpo é uma maneira de experimentar o tempo, e a política, não é, simplesmente, uma questão sobre um circuito de bens e riquezas, modos de regulação das desigualdades socioeconômicas. O corpo é o instrumento pelo qual se passam nossas lutas, nossos riscos, nossa implicação afetiva na coletividade. Servindo à uma espécie de captura colonizadora e ao investimento na propriedade individual neoliberalista, nele se atualizam aspectos históricos, econômicos, culturais, linguísticos, dentre outros, que se (re) produzem em modos de vida. Essas experiências podem perpetuar-se num distanciamento entre os corpos ou na produção de encontros como espaços de ruptura ao sistema vigente. Aqui nos interessou acompanhar uma experiência outra do conhecimento, possível e real no processo da produção da subjetividade. Estancá-la significa coagular as fissuras, os acidentes, as mutações, e por conseguinte, nos comprometer com a eterna busca pelo melhor modelo, apontar culpados, julgar procedimentos, falar em nome dos outros, denunciar “irregularidades”, tutelar o objeto
