Concomitant to this purpose, the view on the social milieu of these representatives of the monarchic power has also been taken into consideration in this discourse. Throughout the almost four decade existence of the province, the general view on nature in this region has been maintained. Nevertheless a new connection is perceived regarding the postures of decrees on the natural environment during the last two decades, presenting themselves as more pragmatic actions for the organization of this environment. Primarily through reports from governors of the Amazon province, the natural and human characteristics of the region are analyzed with the additional intention of outlining the difficulties of implementing the nation s civilization project. This project involved the recognition, as part of the national territory as well as the regional survey, of the people living in secluded areas of the country. Nature played an essential role in the definition of nationality as it contained the most valuable assets of the Brazilian empire, which was seeking to establish itself as a civilized nation that had the knowledge and was essentially able to cultivate the rich uncivilized lands. In the face of the of the civilization project that involved the natural environment as well as the inhabitants of the country, the Amazon governors, defending and representing the same project, explained in their reports the difficult task of its realization. The region has been described as a deserted and backward place; in the reports its still uncultivated nature and its idle and wandering population appear as a problematic reality still subject to transformation. Therefore by proclaiming a dull social state they presented plans and ways of civilizing nature and native tribes and clearly believed Amazon region represented a great promise for the future / Esta Dissertação procurou examinar e interpretar, valendo-se especialmente da noção de representação, as visões de natureza e de meio social que os presidentes da Província do Amazonas, entre os anos de 1852 e 1889, deixaram expressas em seus relatórios de governo. No decorrer de quase quatro décadas de existência da província, a visão geral de natureza deste segmento foi tenazmente mantida; contudo, percebe-se um novo enlace a respeito das atitudes de ordenação do meio natural nas duas últimas décadas, apresentando-se como ações mais pragmáticas para a organização desse ambiente. Por meio, primordialmente, do exame dos relatórios dos presidentes da Província do Amazonas, a particularidade natural e humana da região foi analisada com a intenção complementar de evidenciar as problemáticas para a execução do projeto civilizador defendido pelo Império. Projeto que envolvia a afirmação e o reconhecimento do território nacional junto de um levantamento dos grupos humanos de lugares recônditos do país. Nesse processo, a natureza representou um elemento essencial para a questão da nacionalidade, pois encerrava a maior riqueza e o maior patrimônio do Império brasileiro, que desejava se elevar como nação civilizada com o conhecimento e, especialmente, com o cultivo das ricas terras ainda incultas. Diante do projeto civilizador que envolvia a natureza e os habitantes do país, os presidentes do Amazonas, defensores e representantes desse projeto, explicitaram nos relatórios a difícil tarefa para sua realização. A Província era representada como um lugar deserto e atrasado; a natureza ainda inculta e a população ociosa e errante transparecem nos relatos como elementos de uma realidade problemática, todavia passível de transformação. Embora descrevessem um estado social desanimador, não deixaram de apresentar os planos e os meios para civilizar a natureza e os grupos humanos, e claramente acreditaram que o Amazonas representava uma grande promessa para o futuro

[pt] Desde o último terço do século XIX a Monarquia brasileira buscou afirmar na cidade do Rio de Janeiro a sua legitimidade enquanto instituição responsável pelo governo do país através da idéia de civilização, que se buscou vincular à noção de progresso. A associação destas duas idéias nas últimas décadas do Oitocentos operou-se de forma que a noção de progresso encontrasse-se subordinada àquela de civilização, valor máximo a ser exaltado pela Monarquia. Com a abolição da escravidão e a ascensão da República uma nova organização política foi desenvolvida bem como uma nova maneira dos cariocas perceberem a sua situação na sociedade; uma nova percepção que ganhou forte impulso com o fenômeno econômico do encilhamento. Este conjunto de transformações fomentou uma nova relação entre as noções de progresso e de civilização. Nesta, a primeira, cada vez mais conotada no seu aspecto de desenvolvimento material, passava a ser percebida como uma idéia de maior relevância que a segunda. A Grande Reforma Urbana de 1903-1906, foi um momento de coadunação das duas formas de relacionamento/subordinação entre as idéias de progresso e de civilização. A reforma urbana empreendida pelo Governo Federal, através do Presidente Rodrigues Alves, buscou afirmar no espaço urbano do Rio de Janeiro a relação entre estas duas idéias que foi conformada no período republicano. De maneira diversa, a reforma urbana conduzida pelo Governo Municipal, através do Prefeito Pereira Passos, procurou vincar na mesma cidade a relação de subordinação entre as idéias de progresso e de civilização produzidas no Império. / [en] Since the last third of the 19th century, the monarchy tried to affirm its legitimacy as the institution in charge of Brazilian government using the idea of civilization associated with the notion of progress. This association took place in the last two decades of the 19th century in such a way that the notion of progress was subordinate to the idea of civilization as the highest monarchy value. With the slavery abolishment and the establishment of the republican regime, a new political organization as well as a new perspective about the society by the Rio de Janeiro citizens was developed. The economic crises known as encilhamento reinforced that new perception. These social and political transformations led to a new relation between the notions of progress and civilization. The idea of progress, increasingly related with material development, took up the organizational role that was attached, since then, to the idea of civilization. The Great Urban Reform of 1903-1906 was the moment of combination of the two forms of relationship and subordination between the ideas of progress and civilization. The urban reform made by the Federal Government, during the presidency of Rodrigues Alves, attempted to affirm in the Rio de Janeiro urban space the relations between these two ideas consolidated in the republican regime. Otherwise, the urban reform implemented by the Rio de Janeiro local government - conducted by mayor Pereira Passos - tried to apply to the city the same primacy of the idea of civilization produced during the imperial regime.

Cultures, subcultures, and individuals occupy different positions in the low-context/individualistic and the high-context/collectivistic spectrum, and they shift due to factors such as urbanization, economic development and cultural globalization. In this study, I examine Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's theory of the cordial man and how it illustrates qualities of the high-context Brazilian culture. Within the framework of grounded theory, these qualities are evaluated from the perspective of intergenerational dyads--fathers and sons--that have been exposed to an urbanized and globalized environment in order to determine whether and how a shift from high-context to low-context is occurring. The participants were interviewed to explore perception of self, upbringing, decision-making process within the family, father and son relationships, intrafamilial communication, ways to influence and be influenced, history of conflict, and urbanization and globalization. Their responses revealed the extent to which their values were individualistic or group-oriented and if the cordial man behavior was also present in the intimacy of their homes. In sum, I reach three conclusions: technological and cultural globalization propagates low-context values and behaviors; sons are in a transitional state, in which individual goals are relevant enough to challenge parental expectations, but still cause guilt when pursued; and, the cordial man still exists in the urban and globalized world. Implications for families, family therapists, counselors and mediators are discussed.

In the following study I reappraise the nineteenth century Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897). Burckhardt is traditionally known for having served as the elder colleague and one-time muse of Friedrich Nietzsche at the University of Basel and so his ideas are often considered, by comparison, outmoded or inapposite to contemporary currents of thought. My research explodes this conception by abandoning the presumption that Burckhardt was in some sense "out of touch" with modernity. By following and significantly expanding upon the ideas of historians such as Allan Megill, Lionel Gossman, Hayden White, Joseph Mali, John Hinde and Richard Sigurdson, among others, I am able to portray Burckhardt as conversely inaugurating a historiography laden with elements of insightful social criticism. Such criticisms are in fact bolstered by virtue of their counter-modern characteristic. Burckhardt reveals in this way a perspicacity that both anticipates Nietzsche's own critique of modernity and in large part moves well beyond him. Much of this analysis is devised through a genealogical approach to Burckhardt which places him squarely within a cohesive branch of post-Kantian thought that I have called heterodox post-Kantianism. My study revaluates Burckhardt through the alembic of a "discursive" post-Kantian turn which reinvests many of his outré ideas, including his radical appropriation of historical representation, his non-teleological historiography, his various pessimistic inclinations, and additionally, his non-empirical, "aesthetic" study of history, or "mythistory," with a newfound philosophical germaneness. While I survey the majority of Burckhardt's output in the course of my work, I invest a specific focus in his largely unappreciated Greek lectures (given in 1869 but only published in English in full at the end of the twentieth century). Burckhardt's "dark" portrayal of the Greeks serves to not only upset traditional conceptions of antiquity but also the manner in which self-conception is informed through historical inquiry. Burckhardt returns us then to an altogether repressed antiquity: to a hidden, yet internal "dream of a shadow." My analysis culminates with an attempt to reassess the place of Burckhardt's ideas for modernity and to correspondingly reexamine Nietzsche. In particular, I highlight the disparity between Nietzsche's and Burckhardt's reception of the "problem of power," including the latter's reluctance - which was attended by ominous and highly prescient predictions of future large-scale wars and the steady "massification" of western society - to accept Nietzsche's acclamation of a final "will to power." Burckhardt teaches us the value of history as an active counterforce to dominant modern reality-formations and in doing so, his work rehabilitates the relevance of history for a world which, as Burckhardt once noted, suffers today from a superfluity of present-mindedness.

Notre thèse est une étude sur les méthodes didactiques du grec ancien. À travers l’analyse de la crise actuelle de l’enseignement des langues anciennes et de la méthode grammaire-traduction, nous essayons de démontrer qu’aujourd’hui il serait souhaitable d’aller vers des choix didactiques différents. Nous concentrons notre intérêt notamment sur les manuels appelés story-based courses, dont les plus connus sont la méthode Ørberg, le Cambridge Latin Course, Athenaze et Reading Greek. Ces ouvrages sont caractérisés par un récit ininterrompu rédigé en latin ou en grec concernant la civilisation ancienne ; ils proposent une approche inductive de la langue favorisant la lecture cursive et un apprentissage linguistique « naturel ». Nous traitons ainsi l’aspect des pratiques pédagogiques à adopter en classe, aspect qui demeure fondamental pour mettre en œuvre un enseignement cohérent avec ces outils. Des expériences passées (notamment celle de Rouse à la Perse school de Cambridge) mais aussi l’enquête que nous avons menée au liceo classico Francesco De Sanctis de Salerne, révèlent jusqu’à quel point notre enseignement peut être bouleversé et dans quelle mesure les réactions des élèves peuvent changer. Les réflexions issues de notre travail, qui s’adresse en particulier aux enseignant de langues anciennes, visent notamment à permettre une connaissance raisonnée de la méthode natura qui dépasse les préjugés qui souvent l’accompagnent et à en évaluer toutes les potentialités. / Our thesis is a study of the teaching methods for Ancient Greek. Through an analysis of the current crisis in the teaching of ancient languages and of the grammar-translation method, we will attempt to demonstrate that nowadays it would be desirable to make different teaching choices. In particular, we focus our interest on manuals called “story-based courses”. The most widely known of these, are the Ørberg method, the Cambridge Latin Course, Athenaze and Reading Greek. These works are characterized by an ongoing tale written in Latin or Greek and concerning the ancient civilization. They offer an inductive approach to the language, that favors fast reading and a “natural” language learning. We also discuss the matter of the educational practices to adopt in class, which remain essential to create a teaching coherent with these tools. Past experiences (in particular the one led by Rouse at the Perse School of Cambridge), but also the research we have carried out at Liceo Classico Francesco De Sanctis of Salerno, have revealed just how much our teaching can be subverted and how much the students’ reactions might vary. The reflections from our work, which is addressed primarily to teachers of ancient languages, aim specifically to allow a reasoned knowledge of the natura method, overcoming the prejudices that often accompany it and evaluating all its potential.

Globalisation is one of the most important cultural phenomena of our times and yet, one of the least understood. In popular and critical discourse there has been a struggle to articulate its human affects. The tendency to focus upon macro accounts can leave gaps in our understanding of its micro experiences.1 1 As Jonathon Xavier Inda and Renato Rosaldo argue there is a strong pattern of thinking about globalisation 'principally in terms of very large-scale economic, political, or cultural processes'. (See: Jonathon Xavier Inda and Renato Rosaldo (Eds.), The Anthropology of Globalisation: A Reader, Malden, Blackwell Publishing, 2002, p. 5.) In this thesis, I will describe globalisation as a dynamic matrix of flows. I will argue that globalisation's spatial, temporal, and kinetic re-arrangements have particular impacts upon bodies and consciousnesses, creating contingent and often unquantifiable flows. I will introduce digital art as a unique platform of articulation: a style borne of globalisation's oeuvre, and technically well-equipped to converse with and emulate its affects. By exploring digital art through an historical lens I aim to show how it continues dialogues established by earlier art forms. I will claim that digital art has the capacity to re-centre globalisation around the individual, through sensory and experiential forms that encourage subjective and affective encounters. By approaching it in this way, I will move away from universal theorems in favour of particular accounts. Through exploring a wide array of digital artworks, I will discuss how digital art can capture fleeting experiences and individual expressions. I will closely examine its unique tools of articulation to include: immersive, interactive, haptic, and responsive technologies, and analyse the theories and ideas that they converse with. Through this iterative process, I aim to explore how digital art can both facilitate and generate new articulations of globalisation, as an experiential phenomenon.

This dissertation examines women's lives in a rapidly urbanizing rural community in Southern Pakistan to understand their responses to modernity in developing societies. Applying a mixed-methods approach, socio-demographic data is collected and contrasted with oral history and personal narratives to analyze social change through women's access to education and reproductive health care in the village. The results are framed within a post-modern and post-colonial feminist anthropological discourse to reveal that Sheherpind represents a model of 'multiple modernities' where women's agency and progress could only be contextualized in non-western, local cultural perspectives. Emerging trends in the village are evaluated for their 'Applied' significance to underscore areas of local, national and transnational policy significance. / Graduation date: 2013
