Relações venais, ou sucesso a qualquer preço: análise dos diálogos em \'Glengarry Glen Ross\', de David Mamet / Venal relations or success at any cost: analysis of the speeches in \'Glengarry Glen Ross\' by David Mamet

Anibal Mari 13 December 2007 (has links)
Esta dissertação propõe analisar os diálogos da peça Glengarry Glen Ross, de David Mamet, um dos principais dramaturgos do teatro norte-americano contemporâneo. A hipótese sugerida é que esses diálogos substituem a ação dramática e representam o substrato social que serviu de ponto de referência para a criação do enredo. São neles que as \"relações venais\" e o jogo de poder entre os personagens se concretizam, numa linguagem ilusória e ambígua, na qual valores individuais e comunitários, como a confiança, a amizade, a afeição, a lealdade e a verdade se subverteram, diante da necessidade de sobrevivência ou do sucesso a qualquer preço, ditados pelas práticas comerciais, pelas relações de poder, por uma mentalidade de negócios predatória e se transformaram em mercadoria, lucro e roubo. Glengarry Glen Ross (1983) faz parte da chamada \"trilogia do poder\", que abarca ainda American Buffalo (1975) e Speed-the-Plow (1985). As personagens dessas peças ou vivem à margem da sociedade capitalista norteamericana, como o triângulo masculino em American Buffalo, ou são representantes da baixa classe média, como os corretores de imóveis de Glengary Glen Ross, submetidos a uma competição feroz imposta pela direção da firma, onde os vencedores são promovidos e os perdedores, demitidos. Nessas circunstâncias, o contato humano entre eles foi corrompido pela ganância, pelo dinheiro, pela necessidade de sobrevivência. Essas peças são um exercício de crítica ao darwinismo social. / This dissertation aims to analyze the speeches in Glengarry Glen Ross, a play by David Mamet, one of the leading playwrights of the contemporary American theatre. The hypotheses suggested are that these speeches replace the dramatic action and that they represent the social stratum which has served as reference point for the creation of the plot. They also make the \'venal relations\' and the power game between the characters concrete, but they do so through the use of a deceptive and ambiguous language, in which individual and communal values, such as trust, friendship, affection, loyalty and truth, are subverted, in face of the need for survival or success at any cost, determined by commercial practices, power relations, predatory business mindset, and are turned into commodities, profit and theft. Glengarry Glen Ross (1983) is part of the \"power trilogy\", which also comprises American Buffalo (1975) and Speed-the-Plow (1985). The characters in these plays either live on the margins of the American capitalist society, as the ones in the masculine triangle in American Buffalo, or are representatives of the lowermiddle- class, such as the realtors in Glengarry Glen Ross, subjected to a cutthroat competition by the corporation owners, in which the winners are promoted and the losers are fired. In these circumstances, genuine human contact among them is corrupted by greed, money, and the need for survival. These plays are an exercise of criticism of social Darwinism.

Le Parti conservateur et le processus de prise de décision en matière de politique étrangère et de défense au Royaume-Uni : les cas de la signature des Traités de Lancaster House et de la guerre en Libye, 2005-2011 / The Conservative Party and the Foreign and Defence Policy Decision-Making Process in the United Kingdom : the Cases of the Signing of the Lancaster House Treaties and the War in Libya, 2005-2011

Harrois, Thibaud 10 November 2016 (has links)
Dès 2005 et son élection à la tête du Parti conservateur, David Cameron fit connaître son intention de réviser la politique étrangère britannique selon les principes du « conservatisme libéral ». Prenant ses distances avec le réalisme qui avait guidé les choix de Margaret Thatcher et de John Major aux lendemains de la guerre froide, Cameron associait la défense des intérêts nationaux et le maintien du rôle du Royaume-Uni sur la scène internationale avec le renouveau d’une tradition libérale, qu’il prenait cependant soin de distinguer des excès de l’interventionnisme dont avait fait preuve Tony Blair après 2001. Arrivés au pouvoir en mai 2010 au sein d’un gouvernement de coalition, les Conservateurs refusaient l’idée de tout repli stratégique, en dépit du décalage qui existait entre leurs ambitions et les moyens limités qu’ils étaient en mesure de consacrer à la politique de sécurité. Par le biais de l’analyse de deux études de cas : la signature d’accords de coopération bilatérale avec la France, le 2 novembre 2010, et l’intervention militaire en Libye de 2011, cette thèse examine les facteurs qui influencèrent les décisions prises par le nouveau gouvernement, ainsi que les mécanismes ayant conduit à leur adoption. Suivant une approche interprétiviste, ce travail étudie les traditions, c’est-à-dire l’héritage historique, dans lesquelles les actions du gouvernement de coalition s’inscrivirent, mais aussi la manière dont les différents acteurs de ce domaine spécifique de la politique du pays ont fait évoluer cet héritage pour répondre aux dilemmes posés par l’émergence de nouvelles menaces dans un contexte de réduction des dépenses de l’Etat et d’incertitude stratégique. / Soon after he was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 2005, David Cameron signalled his intention to implement a foreign policy based on ‘liberal Conservative’ principles. Cameron distanced himself from the realism that had guided the choices made by Margaret Thatcher and John Major in the aftermath of the Cold War. Therefore, he associated the defence of national interests, as well as the preservation of Britain’s role in the world, to the revival of the liberal tradition. However, he also insisted on the difference between his approach and the excesses of Tony Blair’s interventionism after 2001. The Conservatives, who were part of the Coalition Government that took office in May 2010, rejected the idea of strategic shrinkage, in spite of the existing gap between their ambitions and the limited resources they could allocate to security policy. Through the analysis of two case studies – the signing of the Lancaster House Treaties on 2 November 2010, and the 2011 military intervention in Libya – this thesis examines the factors that influenced the decisions made by the new government, as well as the mechanisms that led to them. By adopting an interpretivist perspective on these events, the thesis studies the traditions, that is to say the historical inheritance that formed the background of the government’s actions, but also the way the various actors involved in that specific area of policy modified that inheritance to respond to the dilemmas created by the emergence of new threats in a context of cuts in government spending and strategic uncertainty.

Temporalité et surveillance dans l'art de David Rokeby

Snider, Léah 05 1900 (has links)
Dans l’ensemble de ses œuvres, l'artiste canadien David Rokeby cherche à comprendre l’impact des images numériques de surveillance et de leurs divers dispositifs d’enregistrement et de diffusion sur le spectateur. Comment ces images peuvent-elles modifier notre perception de l'espace et, surtout, changer notre configuration du temps? Ce questionnement est le point de départ de notre étude de Seen, une installation visuelle de David Rokeby, exposée pour la première fois à la 8e exposition internationale d’architecture de la Biennale de Venise en 2002 et également présentée au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal en 2007. Seen met en place un dispositif de surveillance électronique qui semble capter, en temps réel, les passants de la Place San Marco à Venise. Toutefois, ces images ne reflètent pas exactement le moment présent : elles sont traitées, en temps réel, par un programme informatique qui sépare les éléments immobiles des éléments mobiles, les corps en mouvement de l’architecture, et conserve les traces du mouvement. Nous sommes alors menés aux hypothèses suivantes : l’usage d’un tel dispositif de surveillance ne constitue-t-il pas une réflexion sur le passage du temps ? Cette description temporelle d’un lieu ne serait- elle pas une façon détournée d’archiver notre mémoire collective? Il s'agit donc d'examiner comment, en observant l’espace public, l’artiste propose une nouvelle lecture de notre histoire, bâtie non pas autour de l’archivage de ses monuments, mais autour de l’expérience humaine et temporelle. / Throughout his work, Canadian artist David Rokeby seeks to understand how digital surveillance images, and their various modes of recording and transmitting, impact the viewer. How can these images alter our perception of space and, more specifically, change our configuration of time? This question serves as the starting point to our study of Seen, a visual installation shown for the first time in 2002 at the 8th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennial and later presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2007. Seen is an electronic surveillance installation, which appears to record, in real-time, the pedestrians’ movements through Piazza San Marco in Venice. In truth, these filmed images do not reflect the present moment per se, but are treated in real-time by a computer program which separates the motionless from the mobile; the moving bodies from the architecture, and saves only brief moments or traces of movement. This raises the following questions: Can the use of such a surveillance device be understood as comment on the passage of time? Can this temporal description of a place constitute an alternative means to preserving our collective memory? In the course of our research, we shall examine how, by observing a public space, the artist suggests a new reading of history, built not around the archiving of its monuments, but around human and temporal experiences. / Pour respecter les droits d'auteur, la version électronique de ce mémoire à été dépouillée de ses documents visuels et audio-visuels.

Alternatives pertinentes et mondes possibles entre invariantisme et contextualisme : une perspective sceptique / Relevant alternatives and possible worlds between invariantism and contextualism : a skeptical perspective

Benedetti, Jacopo 07 December 2018 (has links)
Une nouvelle tentative pour faire face au défi sceptique est menée depuis une quarantaine d’années. Cette tentative repose sur une théorie de la connaissance centrée sur la notion d’alternatives pertinentes. La thèse se propose de montrer les faiblesses de cette théorie, même lorsqu’elle s’appuie sur l’appareillage des mondes possibles, et suggère que le scepticisme demeure la meilleure position épistémologique. Dans le premier chapitre on passe en revue une série de difficultés liées au sujet des alternatives pertinentes et l'on essaye d'argumenter en faveur de l'idée qu'il n'y a peut-être pas, finalement, de moyens en quelque sorte objectifs pour établir quelles sont les alternatives pertinentes relativement à une situation quelconque. À partir du deuxième chapitre, il est procédé à une analyse critique des tentatives de certains auteurs qui se sont servis, pour élaborer leurs propres conceptions bien précises, du langage des mondes possibles. Dans le deuxième chapitre, l'on se concentre surtout sur la question du degré de proximité qu'un monde possible donné doit exhiber pour être considéré comme suffisamment proche du monde actuel et l'on essaye de montrer qu'il n’est probablement pas possible de tracer d'une manière non arbitraire une ligne de démarcation entre ces mondes possibles qu’on peut ignorer et ceux qu’on ne peut ignorer dans nos attributions de connaissance. Dans le troisième chapitre, l'on se concentre surtout sur la question des critères qui devraient guider nos évaluations de proximité et l'on essaye de montrer le caractère discutable de n'importe quelle règle visant à établir quels seraient ces critères-là. / Over the last forty years, a new attempt to answer to the skeptic challenge has been proposed. This attempt is based on a theory of knowledge, which is grounded on the notion of relevant alternative. My dissertation aims to show the problems of such a theory, even when formulated in terms of possible worlds, and suggests that in the end skepticism remains the best epistemological option. In the first chapter, I will offer a discussion of the issue of relevant alternatives, and I will argue in favor of the idea that perhaps there are no objective criteria to establish which are the relevant alternatives with respect to a certain given situation. In the second chapter, I will propose a critical analysis of the attempts of some philosophers to formulate their own proposals in the language of possible worlds. In particular, I will focus on the issue of the proximity degree that a certain possible world must have in order to be considered as sufficiently closed to the real world, and I will try to show that perhaps it is not possible to draw a sharp line of demarcation between those possible worlds that we can ignore and those that we must take into account in our attribution of knowledge. In the third chapter, I will critically discuss the criteria that should guide our evaluations about proximity, and I will show the problematic aspects of any rule aimed to establish which these criteria in effect should be.
