Doctor of Philosophy / The ancient region of Elam (southwestern Iran) has produced a significant assemblage of cylinder seals across a considerable chronological span. Unlike the glyptic material from the related and neighbouring region Mesopotamia, the Elamite cylinder seals have not previously been studied in detailed reference to one another, nor has there been an established paradigm of stylistic development articulated. This study addresses this lacuna by compiling all the published cylinder seals from Elam (as defined here, thus incorporating the historical provinces of Khuzistan, Luristan and Fars), from their earliest appearance (c.3500 BC), throughout the era of their typological dominance (over stamp seals, thus this study departs c.1000 BC). This compilation is presented in the Elamite Cylinder Seal Catalogue (Volume II), and is annotated and described through the annunciation of eighteen chronologically defined developmental styles (with another two non-chronological type classifications and four miscellaneous groups). Through the further analysis of this data, including the newly formulated and articulated styles, several facets and problems of Elamite glyptic material have been addressed (and thus the reliance upon assumed similarity in type and function with the Mesopotamian glyptic material is abandoned). These problems particularly pertain to the function of cylinder seals in Elam and the type and form of the Elamite-Mesopotamian glyptic interaction. In regards to function, a standard administrative function can be discerned, though of varying types and forms across the region and the period of study. Other, non-standard, symbolic glyptic functions can also be demonstrated in the Corpus, including the apparent proliferation of a form known as the ‘votive’ seal, perhaps a specifically Elamite form. The analysis of the style type (whether ‘Elamite’, ‘Mesopotamian Related’ or ‘Shared Elamite-Mesopotamian’), in association with their relative geographical and chronological distribution, has also enabled the discussion of the nature of Elamite-Mesopotamian glyptic interaction, and thereby the constitution of Elamite civilisation (especially in regards to Mesopotamian cultural impact and influence, and thus the testing of several previously presented paradigms [Amiet 1979a; 1979b; Miroschedji 2003]).

Desta forma, se realiza um estudo qualitativo, de tipo descritivo e exploratório, que se fundamenta mediante um enfoque histórico, estrutural e dialético. Utilizaram-se diversas fontes de dados como entrevistas semi-estruturadas, questionários, observações registradas no caderno de campo e um registro fotográfico; enquanto as técnicas escolhidas para a análise das informações foram a triangulação de dados e a análise documental. Na dimensão teórica, a pesquisa se sustenta em autores clássicos e contemporâneos que colaboram para o estudo da identidade e do pensamento latino-americano, assim como da universidade e da internacionalização da educação superior como elementos que envolvem forças em constante tensão. A este respeito, se utiliza a antinomia construída por Darcy Ribeiro sobre a universidade questionada e a universidade necessária, para problematizar a abordagem das principais temáticas deste trabalho. As categorias de análise se construíram a partir destes aportes teóricos, contemplando três categorias em cada modelo de universidade. Na universidade questionada: 1) Dependência, 2) Exclusão, e 3) Relação inorgânica entre universidade-sociedade; e na universidade necessária: 1) Autonomia, 2) Diálogo intercultural crítico e transversal, e 3) Relação orgânica entre universidade-sociedade. Após a implementação dos instrumentos de coleta de dados, desenvolvida no campo empírico, se efetuou a matriz de análises, organizada por eixos que incluíam uma relação de tensão entre diversas categorias dos dois modelos de universidade, assim como por dimensões, construídas a partir dos atores da investigação: gestores, docentes e estudantes/graduados. A triangulação de dados permitiu constatar que as experiências da UNILA e da ELAM apresentam semelhanças enquanto aos limites e potencialidades significativas para desenvolver-se como experiências de universidades e de internacionalização necessária. Entre os limites pode-se destacar a vulnerabilidade às mudanças de contexto econômico-político nacional, regional e internacional, o qual trouxe consigo um segundo limite que foi a modificação do projeto institucional que deu origem a ambas universidades. As potencialidade encontradas foram a promoção da integração regional; a preocupação pela formação de pensamento crítico; o ambiente de interculturalidade e diversidade; o enriquecimento pessoal e acadêmico a partir do intercâmbio com diferentes culturas; a formação através de valores como a solidariedade e o humanismo; e a resistência frente aos embates e mudanças políticas-econômicas em diferentes níveis. Considera-se que os limites e as potencialidades encontradas na UNILA e na ELAM convivem sob uma relação de tensão desde o interior de cada uma delas, sendo estas disputas um motor essencial para conseguir viabilizar esta concepção de outra internacionalização: a necessária. / Within the current context of internationalization of higher education in Latin America, this work investigates the potentialities and the limits encountered in the case study approach of the Universidade Federal para a Integração Latino-Americana (UNILA-Brasil) and the Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina (ELAM-Cuba), to develop themselves as needed experiences of universities and internationalization in higher education. Thus, it is realized a qualitative study of descriptive and exploratory type, which is based through a historical, structural and dialectical approach. It was used diverse data sources as semi structured interviews, questionnaires, observations registered in the fieldnotes and photographic register; whilst the techniques chosen to analyze this data were the data triangulation and documental analysis. In the theoretical dimension, this research is based in classic and contemporary authors which collaborate to the studies of the identity and the Latin American thinking, as well as the university and the internationalization of higher education as elements which implicate constant straining forces. Thereupon, it was used the clash between two ideas designed by Darcy Ribeiro about the questioned university and the needed university, to problematize the approach of the dominant themes of this work. The analyzed categories were built from those theoretical contribution, contemplating tree categories in each university model. In the questioned university: 1) Dependency, 2) Exclusion, and 3) Inorganic relation between university – society; and in the needed university: 1) Autonomy, 2) Critic intercultural and transversal dialogue, and 3) Organic relation between university-society. After the implementation of the data collecting instruments, developed in the empirical field, the analyses were performed, it was organized in axes which included a strained relation between various categories of the two models of university, within some dimensions built from the investigated actors such as: managers, professors and students/alumni. The data triangulation allowed to verify that the experiences of UNILA and ELAM show significative resemblance concerning the limits and potentialities of those two universities to develop themselves in experiences of university and internationalization needed. Among the limits stands out the vulnerability to changes in the economical – political and national context, which brought forward a second limit which was the modification of the institutional project the very one which gave origin to both universities. The potentialities found were the promotion of regional integration; the concern for formation of a critical thinking; the intercultural and diverse environment; the personal and academic enrichment from the perspective of interchange with diverse cultures; the formation through values such as solidarity and humanism; and the resistance in face of blows and political – economical changes at distinct levels. It is considered that the limits and potentialities found at UNILA and ELAM live together under a strain relation in the indwelling of each one of them, being these quarrels the essential engine to get to make feasible this conception of other internationalization: the needed one. / En el actual contexto de internacionalización de la educación superior en América Latina, este trabajo investiga los límites que enfrentan y las potencialidades que presentan los estudios de caso de la Universidade Federal para a Integração Latino-Americana (UNILA-Brasil), y la Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina (ELAM-Cuba), para desarrollarse como experiencias de universidades y de internacionalización necesaria.

This thesis shall identify the date origin of the composite bow within Mesopotamia and Elam. and both identify and quantify the design factors which lead to increased performance possible with composite construction. To accomplish this, the thesis begins by summarizing the problems and flaws that currently exist in the field of history as it applies specifically to archery and bow use. With problems identified, the thesis will then introduce the reader to the basics of bow mechanics, thereby laying the basis for physical testing. This in turn will empirically demonstrate flaws in the current iconographical method of bow identification. The thesis will then devise a new method for iconographic identification of composite construction that has greater proven accuracy, based upon proportional length, which will link extant artifacts with both physical test results and iconographic evidence. The reader shall then be led through a complete reevaluation of iconographical evidence for Mesopotamia and Elam starting at the beginning of the second millennium BCE and working backwards using this new method of iconographic evaluation to determine the point at which composite bow technology first appears in the ancient Near East. The thesis will finish with an overview of the above accomplishments and their potential impact on the study of ancient and military history. / Classics and World Languages / D. Litt. et Phil.
