In 1872, Mormon plural wife, educator, and suffragist Lucinda Lee Dalton began writing fiery political essays and insightful poetry for the Woman's Exponent from her small community in southern Utah. Through her writings Dalton endeavors to shape the opinions of Exponent readers by working within public discourse toward the goal of equality for women. At times both optimistic and troubled, she uses the rhetorical strategies of humor, irony, reason, identification, and persuasion to educate men and women on disparities and to encourage women to participate actively in their own emancipation. She often engages in a dialogical process with other writers by crafting both polemic and poetic responses to specific writings in order to work toward greater insight on critical issues. As an essayist Dalton defends her religion, calls for the expansion of women's political and economic opportunities, and asserts that the elevation of women is crucial to achieving the potential of both sexes. As a poet she is a compelling writer who reveals in her poems her apprehensions and aspirations, her faith and feminism. Much of her poetry reflects the same commitment to reform that is clear in her essays, and she uses both genres do effective political work. This thesis uses a pluralist approach to recover Lu Dalton as an important early Mormon writer. It articulates her merit as a representative voice by evaluating the historical context and rhetorical function of her published writings in which she actively calls for broad societal reform, writing on women's roles, political rights, and relationship with God and men.

The turbulence structure over the sea was studied with the emphasis on humidity. The data sets used came from the island of Östergarnsholm outside Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The study included spectral and quadrant analyses of the wind, temperature and humidity parameters from one measuring level. The wave state of the sea was deduced from data from a wave rider buoy anchored 4 km from the site.Two turbulence instruments for humidity were compared, the MIUU instrument (hot wire) and an open pass infrared gas analyser from LI-COR. The comparison showed that the LI-COR instrument resolved the high frequency fluctuations of the humidity better. The unstable cospectra of the sensible and latent heat fluxes were studied and categorised. It was found that many cospectra have two or more maxima. The higher frequency maxima gained influence when the stratification became near neutral.The quadrant analyses showed that the structures of humidity flux were similar to those of the heat flux. The sources of the flux were studied using different ratios. The ratio between events of moist updrafts and dry downdrafts were extensively studied. It was shown that the events of moist updrafts were more dominating during swell than during growing sea. When the results of the spectral and quadrant analyses were combined, it was shown that the smaller sized eddies of heat dominate the events of warm updrafts and that the large eddies dominate the cold downdrafts. The bulk transfer number for moisture, the Dalton number (CE), was found to be almost constant with stratification for unstable runs. The mean value was calculated to (1.0±0.3)·10-3. / Målet för denna studie var turbulensstrukturer över hav med särskild tonvikt på fuktigheten. I denna studie har använts observationer från en mast på ön Östergarns-holm, strax öster om Gotland. Arbetet innefattar spektral- och kvadrantanalys av vind, temperatur och fuktighet från en mätnivå. Havets aktuella tillstånd mättes med en vågboj förtöjd 4 km från masten. Två turbulensinstrument för fuktighet jämfördes, MIUU-instrumentet (varmtråds-instrument) och ett instrument från företaget LI-COR som mäter infraröd absorption. Jämförelsen visade att LI-COR-instrumentet löser upp de högfrekventa fuktighets-fluktuationerna bättre. Instabila cospektra för sensibelt och latent värmeflöde studerades och kategoriserades. Det visade sig att många cospektra hade två eller flera maxima. Det högfrekventa maximumet fick ökad betydelse när skiktningen blev nära neutral. Kvadrantanalyserna visade att strukturerna för värme- och fuktighetsflödet är liknande. Källan för flödena studerades med hjälp av olika kvoter. Av särskilt intresse var kvoten mellan tillfällen med fuktiga uppvindar och torra nedvindar. Det visade sig att tillfällen med fuktiga uppvindar var mer dominerande vid dyning än vid upp-byggande vågor. När resultaten från spektral- och kvadrantanalysen kombinerades, visade det sig att de små virvlarna med värme dominerar vid tillfällen med varma uppvindar och att de stora virvlarna dominerar vid kalla nedvindar. Utbyteskoefficienten CE för fuktighet, även kallad Dalton-talet, är nästan konstant för de instabila fallen. Medelvärdet av CE beräknades till (1,0±0,3)·10-3.

It is ascertained by the presence of the Amerindian, the mythical, aesthetic pursuits, policies and specific and general contexts around his works. Also it aims to analyze the way in which his works have influencing an imaginary and a perspective that is able to exercise and to read the symbolic universe that intermingles the Latin American sociopolitical universe. Work it attempts a look at poetizar, the special features of this human making in the hands of two personalities who are reveling in political elements, spiritual positions, negotiations and hybridisms, in the richness, complexity and heterogeneity of our continent. Topics of mandatory approach are utopia and myth, topics such as liberation theology, the word revolution and metaphors and imagined that concentrate much of the making of these two men of letters. / La presente pesquisa, se orienta a estudiar y entender la manera en que transitan culturalmente las obras de dos poetas centroamericanos –Roque Dalton García y Ernesto Cardenal Martínez –, ligados ambos a procesos creativos, que tienen la intención de actuar en la transformación social y ofrecer una lectura crítica del entorno latinoamericano. Se indaga por la presencia de lo amerindio, la mítica, las búsquedas estéticas, políticas y los contextos específicos y generales que rodearon (o rodean) sus obras. También se tiene por objetivo analizar la manera en que sus obras influenciaron o influencian un imaginario y una perspectiva que es capaz de ejercitarse y dar lectura al universo simbólico que se entremezcla al universo sociopolítico latinoamericano. El trabajo intenta pues una mirada al poetizar, a las particularidades que asume este hacer humano en las manos de ambas personalidades, quienes se recrean en elementos políticos, posiciones espirituales, negociaciones e hibridismos que yacen en la riqueza, complejidad y heterogeneidad de nuestro continente. Temas de obligado abordaje entonces lo constituyen conceptos como el de Utopía y el tema de lo mítico, tópicos como la Teología de la liberación, la palabra revolución y las metáforas e imaginarios que concentran gran parte del hacer de estos dos hombres de letras.

Tomando-se o esforço adaptativo por tradução crítica e, portanto, nada afeito à exigência de fidelidade à obra original, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em demonstrar, mediante análise do seguimento narrativo fílmico dedicado à decadente figura vampírica de Nelsinho, a orientação antropofágica que (1), em sentido positivo, norteia o método criativo do cineasta, cuja obra mantém estreito e fértil diálogo com a literatura nacional, mas sem a ela se submeter; e (2), agora em chave negativa, permeia as batalhas amorosas registradas em Guerra conjugal, em sua declarada intenção de dominar, impor-se, enfim, devorar o outro através do sexo, em tratamento que alinha o filme a ao menos duas grandes tendências do cinema de então: o sexo como bandeira política e o retrato da decadência via crônica da vida privada. Para a consecução de tal objetivo, procurar-se-á identificar os contos-base de Dalton Trevisan utilizados para a composição da trajetória de Nelsinho no longa-metragem, bem como os principais expedientes da literatura do escritor curitibano, sem deixar de considerar o contexto de explosão do gênero conto no Brasil entre as décadas de 1960-1970. Em seguida, analisarse- á pormenorizadamente a narrativa do filme-resultado, procurando-se evidenciar o modo como Joaquim Pedro traduziu os contos, ao reelaborar a literatura de Trevisan no interior de um gênero cinematográfico de amplo apelo popular, a pornochanchada, a cujos traços mais recorrentes o cineasta adere, em princípio, apenas para subvertê-los na sequência / The research field in which this work can be inserted in is that of the intricate relations between literature and cinema, and its subject matter is Guerra conjugal (1975), a film adaptation by one of the exponents of Cinema Novo in Brazil, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, for some short-stories by Dalton Trevisan, one of the most important writers in Portuguese. Taking the adaptive effort as a critical translation and not at all accustomed, therefore, to the requirement of fidelity to the original work, the objective of this research is to demonstrate, by the analysis of the filmic narrative sequence dedicated to the decadent vampire figure of Nelsinho, the anthropophagic orientation that (1), in a positive sense, guides the creative method of the filmmaker Joaquim Pedro, whose work holds closely and fruitful dialogue with the Brazilian literature, but without undergoing the books; and (2), now in a negative way, permeates the loving battles of Guerra conjugal, which characters' intentions are to dominate, to impose, finally, to eat each other through the sexual experience, in a choice that lines up the film to at least two major inclinations of the cinema from that decade: sex as a political banner and the picture of decay through the chronic of private life. To achieve this goal, efforts will be made to identify the short-stories by Dalton Trevisan used for the composition of Nelsinho's path along the film as well as the main literary expedients of the writer from Curitiba, while considering the context of growth of the short-story in Brazil between the decades 1960-1970. Then it will be tried to analyze in details the narrative of the film adaptation, in a way to highlight how Joaquim Pedro translated the short-stories to the screen, rewriting Trevisan's literature in a filmic genre of a broad popular appeal, the pornochanchada, to which recurring features the filmmaker adheres in principle just to subvert them after

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the actor's process in tackling the roles of Harry Dalton in Equus by Peter Shaffer, Duke Senior in As You Like It by William Shakespeare, and Dionysus in The Bacchae by Euripedes. Each production is assigned its own chapter, respectively. The chapters explore each role vocally, psychologically, and physically, including the examination of the Alexander Technique. Reflection on the experience of portraying the character and an evaluation of the actor's growth also transpires. The fourth chapter, Finding My Light, summarizes related observations and analysis as a result of performing all three roles. Finally, the fifth chapter, Curtain Call: A Tableau of Contemplation, deliberates on three years of graduate education. It features the benefits and shortcomings realized as a result of participating as one of the first students the Professional Studio Acting Track of Virginia Commonwealth University.

This thesis examines the measurable effects of changing cultural values on American presidential election year issues from 1972 to 2000. Topics discussed: the long-term shift in cultural values and their impact on political parties, party support, and political priorities. There is congruence between the content of the two major political party platforms from 1972-2000 and the cultural priorities of party supporters as defined by their presidential vote. This relationship also holds true for the 'most significant issue facing the nation' variable in the National Election Studies and presidential vote choice. These results are reproduced in a completely different data set of active political participants (follow the news closely, participate in political campaigns, vote consistently) assembled by Sydney Verba. Both political parties must contend with the tensions that arise from differing cultural priorities of their supporters. This applies both within the parties as they must assemble winning electoral coalitions and between the parties which have taken on the cultural and political priorities of their strongest supporters. As the cultural priorities of major political party supporters shift, so have their quadrennial party platforms. / Master of Arts

This analysis will try to answer a core question: How can Dalton Trevisan rebuild one of the most ancient myths of the human culture the vampire one? To answer this problematic question, we have thought about three hypotheses: 1) The vampire myth is demystified in a parodical way, revealing his two faces: hero and victim; 2) The demystification is done through a sense of emptiness which can be observed in: the narrative, the hero and the narrator as well as in the discourse categories and all of this on the border between fiction and non-fiction; 3) The vampire myth demystification generates a social criticism effect in a time that life in the urban centers is in degeneration. The parody concept that we chose to guide the novel‟s analysis was taken from Bakhtin (1998) and Hutcheon (1985). These authors leaded us to a conclusion that Trevisan takes off the mythical vampire‟s aura. As he does this in the text, he transforms the myth in an unsacred one through resources like: love cannibalism and death, using the sex desire as his via cruces. In his trajectory in Curitiba, he allegorically configures the city as an urban Hades, in an attitude to criticize the values of a society in decomposition, the literary patterns in tension against the urban litter , which is characterized as a non-literary discourse / O objetivo dessa pesquisa é, por meio de um método comparativo, realizar a análise crítica do corpus - O vampiro de Curitiba, de Dalton Trevisan, que buscará responder a uma questão nuclear: como Dalton Trevisan reconstrói literariamente um dos mitos ancestrais da cultura humana o mito do vampiro? Para responder a essa problemática, lançamos três hipóteses: 1) O mito do vampiro é desmistificado parodicamente, revelando a sua face bifronte: a de herói e a de vítima; 2) A desmistificação se faz por meio do esvaziamento tanto de categorias da narrativa, como as do herói e do narrador, quanto do discurso, na fronteira entre o literário e o não-literário; 3) A desmistificação do mito do vampiro gera um efeito de crítica social em termos da degeneração da vida nos centros urbanos. A análise do livro à luz do conceito de paródia de Bakhtin (1998) e Hutcheon (1985), levou-nos à conclusão de que o autor retira a aura do vampiro mítico, dessacralizando-o por meio do canibalismo amoroso e da morte, fazendo do desejo sexual a sua via crucis. Na sua trajetória por Curitiba, acaba por configurá-la alegoricamente como um Hades urbano, numa atitude de crítica seja aos valores de uma sociedade em decomposição, seja aos padrões literários confrontados com o lixo urbano de discursos frontalmente não-literários

O Vampiro de Curitiba contains these issues. to be analyzed. We believe that Nelsinho suffers an inner conflict because of being both the subject and the object of his own anxieties; therefore he assumes the role of a vampire in order to obtain sexual satisfaction by means of seduction. We started by reflecting on this duality and what else characterizes him. In the case of a diffuse subject we chose to look at the protagonist from the perspective of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung. We noticed that in the Freudian perspective, double rises from the conflict between two psychic instances, the Id and Superego. The first one is impulsive and the second is repressive. The Ego acts as the mediator and is responsible for doing what the winner demands. The issue about double is related to the Unheimlich, a term used by Freud to describe the ambivalence between what is known and what is unknown. To Jung the approach to duality occurs through a self-regulatory system responsible for the oscillation between opposite poles; that is, the conscious (persona) and unconscious (shadow). These poles are used to characterize the integration of the personality of the human being. Then we argued the function of myth and the origin of the myth of the vampire, because such a discussion is necessary in order to understand the relationship between the characters Dracula and Nelsinho: Dracula needs blood to keep alive and Nelsinho needs sex in order not to die. As the author does not show us their stories in linear sequences, we also analyze the characters by reading several stories and piecing together the fragments of the character we found in each story. We conclude that Nelsinho is a dual person because he always lives the antagonism which makes him to be with between being both a subject and an object of love relationships. He is linked to the vampire just by looking for the element that keeps him alive / O propósito desta dissertação consiste em analisar, na escrita de Dalton Trevisan, a configuração de temas como o duplo e o mito do vampiro no percurso do protagonista Nelsinho. Para tanto, foi selecionado o livro O Vampiro de Curitiba, por conter textos receptíveis à análise dos temas. Acreditamos que tal personagem vive um conflito interno entre ser sujeito e objeto de suas próprias angústias, e por isso assume o papel vampiro a fim de obter satisfação sexual por meio da sedução. Começamos por refletir a respeito da dualidade e o que a caracteriza. Por se tratar de um tema difuso, optamos pela escolha do viés psicanalítico de Sigmund Freud e Carl Gustav Jung. Vimos que, pela perspectiva freudiana, o duplo brota do conflito entre duas instâncias psíquicas denominadas Id e Superego, sendo a primeira impulsiva e a segunda repressora. O mediador desse embate é o Ego, instância responsável em executar a ação determinada pelo vencedor. Essa questão do duplo se relaciona com o Unheimlich, termo usado por Freud para caracterizar a ambivalência entre o que é estranho e o que é familiar. Pelo enfoque junguiano a dualidade ocorre por meio de um sistema auto-regulador responsável pelas oscilações entre os pólos opostos, ou seja, o consciente (persona) e o inconsciente (sombra). Esses pólos servem para caracterizar a integração da personalidade do ser. Em seguida, discorremos sobre a função do mito e sobre a origem do mito do vampiro, porque tal discussão se faz necessária ao entendimento da relação entre o mito do vampiro, no caso Drácula, e Nelsinho. Drácula necessita do sangue para viver e Nelsinho necessita do sexo para não morrer. Como o autor não nos mostra contos em uma seqüência linear, lemos vários contos unindo os fragmentos da personagem para analisá-la com um todo. Concluímos que Nelsinho é um ser duplo porque vive sempre com o antagonismo entre ser sujeito ou objeto das relações amorosas. Associa-se ao vampiro somente pela busca do elemento que o mantém vivo

In this work, I explain that the focus of criticism on the Central American poetry of the second half of the twentieth century has emphasized its political content. I argue, however, that such a limited view obscures the broader import of this poetry and its place in Latin American literature. By reading the work of Nicaraguan Daisy Zamora, Guatemalan Otto René Castillo, and Salvadoran Roque Dalton with an emphasis on affectivity rather than revolution, I suggest a different relationship between the poet and society, one that is not limited to the marginal figure of the mujer soldado, the poeta guerrillero or the poeta marxista in conflict with all societal norms. Rather, I argue that my study portrays the complex subjectivity of the speaker/poet not unlike that of non-revolutionary poets, as well as his or her multi-dimensional affective connections to family and society. At the same time, an analysis of affect in this poetry allows us to reconsider the nature of the revolutionary figure itself, no longer a myth or a romantic hero, but an individual inserted in society in a more complex way. In Chapter 1, “Daisy Zamora: De la mujer-soldado a la mujer-mujer”, I contend that an analysis of affectivity of her poetic work reveals how personal memory constructs an individualized subjectivity different from that of a woman-soldier. In the second chapter, “Otto René Castillo: De la lucha revolucionaria a la soledad del poema,” I argue that a negative connotation of romantic love is projected in his poems bringing about traces of existential solitude in the lyric subjectivity. Furthermore, Castillo’s poetry elicits a binary opposition between “the people” and the guerrillero in which the former is portrayed as lacking of agency. The third chapter, “Roque Dalton: y/o subjetividad en crisis,” reveals the ways in which the Salvadoran poet textualizes a poetic of disenchantment by way of projecting disdain and contempt to the “motherland.” In conclusion, my approach pinpoints how Zamora, Castillo and Dalton share the same preoccupations, affects and ways to conceive reality, which are also similar to the practices of those poets whose works are better-known given their national origin or because their poetic production has been widely studied by academia. This document has been written in Spanish. / text
