Rollspelet Dungeons and Dragons innefattar gruppinteraktion ledd av en spelledare. Enligt spelets officiella guideböcker har spelledaren mest kontroll i interaktionen, men i denna uppsats undersöks maktfördelningen i praktiken med hjälp av interaktionsanalytiska metoder. För att ta reda på hur makten i interaktionen fördelas i spelet ställs följande två frågor: Vad kontrollerar spelledaren och vad kontrollerar spelarna? Hur visas auktoritet av spelledaren och hur visas det av spelarna? Studien utgår ifrån interaktionsanalytiska teorier och metoder. Detta innefattar ljud- och videoinspelning av en spelträff, samt transkribering och analys. Materialet och resultaten diskuteras även i samband med tidigare forskning som har gjorts inom området. De övergripande resultaten visar att makten i interaktionen fördelas jämnare mellan spelledare och spelare än vad de officiella guideböckerna föreslår, trots att spelledaren generellt sett kontrollerar samtalet till större grad. Spelledaren kan kontrollera interaktionen genom att fördela turer, ställa och svara på frågor, tillåta eller neka spelarnas önskemål, och tillägga anekdoter i spelet. Spelarnas makt syns genom frågorna som ställs och tillåtande av varandras beslut. Spelledaren och spelarna har dock inte makt inom samma områden. Något som observerats är att två olika områden av spelet framträder; ena innefattar fasta spelregler som gäller oavsett spelets handling, och den andra spelets handling. Auktoritet i interaktionen kan skifta mellan spelledare och spelare beroende på vilket av spelets områden som är aktuellt i samtalet just då; spelledaren har mer makt över handlingen och spelarna har mer makt när de är uppbackade av spelreglerna.

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an essential area of development for adolescents. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) presents a well-researched, broad, conceptual framework for systemic social and emotional learning (CASEL, 2020), which has been used to guide the development and implementation of the proposed pilot. It identifies five competencies of SEL: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationships skills, and responsible decision-making. The CASEL framework also emphasizes the importance of coordinating SEL across key settings and contexts—classroom, schools, families, and communities. Lack of SEL can have suboptimal effects during adolescence and later in life, consequently, impacting occupational engagement. A literature review on SEL found that appropriate SEL programming results in positive outcomes, such as improved school-related attitudes and behaviors, increased academic performance, decreased negative behaviors, and less reports of emotional distress (Durlak et al., 2010, 2011). Additionally, various school-related professions address SEL, however, there is limited evidence of occupational therapy practitioners’ involvement in the literature. Thus, adolescents’ occupational needs relating to SEL may not be being addressed. Play’s significance in developing adolescents’ skills is rooted in SEL. Play “develop[s] physical coordination, emotional maturity, social skills to interact with other children, and self-confidence to try new experiences and explore new environments” (AOTA, 2012, p.1). Dungeons & Dragons® (D&D) is a popular table-top role-playing game, which draws interest from many adolescents and adults. A second literature review found that play interventions for adolescents, and research using D&D appears to be limited. Role for SEL is a play-based intervention group using D&D (5th ed.) developed to promote SEL. In the pilot program, three to five middle-school students will participate in 90-minute after-school sessions, for 10 weeks. Participants will learn how to play D&D, receive explicit instruction on two SEL competencies (self-management and relationship skills) and engage in D&D scenarios and campaigns designed to support development in the relevant SEL areas. The author’s proposed pilot program has the potential to improve adolescents’ SEL and occupational engagement. This doctoral project discusses the case for the proposed pilot program, and presents a detailed overview of Role for SEL.

Denna studie undersöker hur queerinklusivt språk påverkar queerpersoners attityd till bordsrollspel, då denna företeelse anses underutforskad trots det alltmer framväxande fältet av queer studies inom spelforskning samt forskning som gjorts kring språkets inflytande på queerpersoner. En enkätstudie med internationella deltagare, alla vana rollspelare och queera, visade att majoriteten föredrar könsneutrala pronomen och queerinklusivt språk. Trots ett litet antal deltagare finns tydliga likheter och tendenser i deras svar. De betonade även vikten av att inkludera queera identiteter på ett naturligt sätt utan att det känns konstlat. Vidare forskning skulle kunna inkludera icke-queera deltagare och utföra fler tester för att undersöka hur deras åsikter påverkar deras spelbeteende och karaktärsskapande.

Bland alla rollspel ute i världen så är Dungeons & Dragons det mest populära. Dess utgivare påstår att det även blir mer nybörjarvänligt för varje ny version som publiceras. Denna studie utforskar validiteten på det genom att undersöka problemformuleringen: Hur nybörjarvänliga är Player’s Handbook böckerna för Dungeons & Dragons editionerna 3.5 och 5E? Datainsamlingen utfördes genom användbarhetstester med flera frivilliga deltagare som försökte skapa en karaktär i någondera versionen under en tidsgräns. Författarna skrev ner och jämförde anteckningar från deltagarnas upplevelser och kom fram till att det saknades flera element för att någon av versionerna ska vara nybörjarvänliga. För personer som inte vet mycket, om inte någonting alls, om Dungeons & Dragons så var det en komplicerad och svår process. För framtida arbete rekommenderar författarna att undersöka flera äldre versioner av Dungeons & Dragons för att få bättre insikt i varför de nya versionerna är skrivna som de är.

La pièce de théâtre La trilogie des dragons est le fruit du work in progress de six créateurs : Marie Brassard, Jean Casault, Lorraine Côté, Marie Gignac, Robert Lepage et Marie Michaud. Ce mémoire se penche sur le texte final qui a été publié en 2005, soit vingt ans après la création du spectacle. À l'aide d'un bassin théorique divers qui convoque l'analyse du texte de théâtre de Michel Pruner, les théories de la pragmatique de la communication et de la systémique, cette étude vise à mettre en lumière cinq axes : Ici structure de l'action dramatique (la fable, l'intrigue et l'action), le réseau des personnages, le temps, l'espace et finalement, le thème de la rencontre des cultures qui témoigne d'une ouverture graduelle à l'Autre et à l'Ailleurs. Cette "pièce-paysage" met en place un système riche et intelligent qui réquisitionne l'implication du lecteur afin que celui-ci décrypte les indices prémonitoires et les ramifications du texte.

Smith (1919, loc 1980) believed the dragon reflected society?s fears and aspirations of the last fifty centuries and beyond, because dragons evolved along with civilization itself. This dissertation investigates the representations of notable dragons from different contexts and concludes that there is a connection between the imaginary about dragons and men?s relationship with nature. / O drag?o sobrevoa a humanidade desde a Idade Antiga, ele faz parte de mitos e hist?rias do Ocidente e Oriente, Antigo e Novo Mundos, rastejou pela cultura de sociedades que supostamente nunca se encontraram, da asteca ? chinesa, da n?rdica ? hindu?sta. Para Smith (1919, loc 1980), o drag?o vem refletindo os medos e aspira??es da humanidade por mais de cinquenta s?culos, pois desenvolveu-se com a pr?pria civiliza??o. Esta dissera??o analisa a representa??o de drag?es not?veis de diversos per?odos e observa que existe um paralelo entre o imagin?rio acerca dos drag?es e a rela??o do homem com a natureza.

abstract: This dissertation is the first detailed and extensive study dedicated to the life and art of the master artist and scholar-official Chen Rong (active 13th century), and offers an expanded analysis of his most famous work, the Nine Dragons scroll (1244). It provides a reconstruction of Chen Rong's biography, character and political career, and discusses his significance and impact in the study of Chinese painting during the late Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279) and beyond, by highlighting the reception and interpretation of the Nine Dragons scroll in the past and in modern times. This is achieved by addressing writings such as eulogies, poems and commentary about Chen Rong by his contemporaries and later biographers, and also analysis of recent works by contemporary Chinese artists that reinterpret Chen Rong's Nine Dragons motif directly. In addition to offering an expanded reading and interpretation of Chen Rong's inscriptions on the Nine Dragons scroll and inscriptions by subsequent viewers of the scroll, this study sheds light on the artistic context, significance, and historical development of dragons and dragon painting in China. This dissertation also offers the first full English transcription and translation of Emperor Qianlong's inscription on the Nine Dragons scroll, and that of his eight officials. Furthermore, this dissertation includes two detailed appendices; one is a detailed appendix of all of Chen Rong's paintings documented to exist today, and the second is a list of paintings attributed to Chen Rong that have been mentioned in historical documents that no longer appear extant. This interdisciplinary study provides insight into the processes that influence how an artist's work is transformed beyond his time to that of legendary status. This clarification of Chen Rong's biography and artistic activity, particularly with respect to his most famous work the Nine Dragons scroll, contributes to modern scholarship by providing an expanded understanding of Chen Rong's life and art, which in turn, adjusts prevailing perceptions of his life and work. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Art History 2012

Inserted into the legislation by means of an Annex, it is subject to the general rules regarding uniforms as well as to its own, which are, in a way, and because of its characteristics of shared clothing, divergent and more permissive. This gives this uniform special features that, combined with diacritical and symbolic functions found within it, signal to a proper regime of visualities in the military environment. Moreover, the definition of a uniform can have different meanings according to the place from where it is seen. Thus, received by the Visual Culture Studies, this uniform can reveal itself without any fear, show its hidden faces and establish an open, frank and interdisciplinary dialog in order to suspend beliefs and to have a fair battle in the Arena. / O uniforme histórico dos Dragões da Independência foi instituído pelo Exército Brasileiro e está em uso na contemporaneidade. Inserido na legislação por meio de um Anexo, ele se submete às regras gerais para uniformes e às suas próprias, que são, de certa forma, e devido ao seu caráter de roupa compartilhada, divergentes e mais permissivas. Isto faz com que este uniforme tenha características especiais que, aliadas às funções diacríticas e simbólicas nele contidas, sinalizam para um regime de visualidades próprio ao meio militar. Além disso, a definição de um uniforme pode ter significados diferentes de acordo com o local de onde ele é visto. Assim, recebida pelos Estudos de Cultura Visual, esta farda consegue se revelar sem medo, mostrar suas faces ocultas e dialogar de forma franca, aberta e interdisciplinar, a fim de que as crenças sejam suspensas e a batalha na Arena seja justa.

Fizemos um estudo de como a ideias de ilusão e, dentre elas, principalmente, a de amor e de paraíso, foram desenvolvidas ao longo dos contos. A dissertação tem como fundamentação teórica central o livro O real e o seu duplo – ensaio sobre a ilusão, de Clément Rosset, através do qual pudemos entender diversas questões cotidianas como sendo ilusões, ou duplos do real. Já em um segundo momento, observamos como tais ilusões aparecem na subjetividade contemporânea e como diversos textos de Caio Fernando Abreu vêm sofrendo modificações em sua interpretação, já que estão sendo segmentados e utilizados como verdadeiros oráculos, em sites e redes sociais. Além de Rosset, Baudelaire também contribuiu para o estudo desenvolvido no segundo capítulo, a partir das ideias dos paraísos artificiais. Adotamos como referencial histórico, principalmente Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, para nos dar um suporte sobre o momento político em que o Brasil vivenciava nos anos em que caio Fernando Abreu atuou. Pierre Lévy, Katherine Hayles e Roger Chartier nos embasaram na análise da circulação dos textos em ambiente digital. Ainda, estudiosos como Michel Foucault, Freud, Antonio Candido e Roland Barthes fizeram parte de nosso referencial teórico, para dialogar com as reflexões desenvolvidas. / This dissertation was developed through the analysis of the tension between illusion and reality present in the book of short stories Os Dragões não Conhecem o Paraíso, by Caio Fernando Abreu. We studied how the ideas of illusion and, among them, mainly the ones of love and paradise, were approached during the execution of the stories in focus. Our theoretical foundation is the book The Real and its Double, by Clément Rosset, in which we could apprehend a range of daily issues as being illusions, or reality‘s doubles. In a second moment, we observed the way these illusions appear in the contemporary subjectivity, and how various texts by Caio Fernando Abreu are currently suffering modifications in their interpretation, being segmented and treated as actual oracles in many sites and socials networks. Apart from Russet, the French romantic poet Baudelaire also contributed to this second chapter with his concept of the artificial paradises. We also adopted as references of literary and cultural theory the following authors: Heloisa Buarque de Holanda, who gave support about the Brazilian political situation in the time Caio Fernando acted; Pierre Lévy, Katherine Hayles and Roger Chartier gave us the basis to analyze the circulation of texts in digital environments; also, Michel Foucault, Freud, Antonio Candido and Roland Barthes were part of our theoretical corpus, dialoguing with the reflections constructed.
