Entretecendo os apontamentos e o teatro de Canetti com os conceitos filos?ficos da ?est?tica negativa? de Adorno, percebe-se um espa?o para a reflex?o de teorias que se sucederam, como as rela??es de poder de Foucault, presentes em Microf?sica do poder e os discursos de resist?ncia e poder desenvolvidos por Deleuze e Guatarri em Mil Plat?s e O Anti-?dipo. Apesar de suas obras terem sido escritas entre 1932 e 1956, todas apresentam uma cr?tica exasperada ao modernismo e caracter?sticas que n?o auxiliaram o seu reconhecimento pela cr?tica da ?poca, o que fez com que a dramaturgia de Canetti fosse redescoberta ap?s o autor receber o Pr?mio Nobel em 1981. / The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the dramaturgic work of the Bulgarian author Elias Canetti, composed by the plays The Wedding, Comedy of Vanity and Their Days are Numbered, seeking to comprehend how the contemporary critic theories act on his trilogy, making a dialogue with theoretical references which may justify its approaching to the postmodernism. In this perspective, the theories by Jean-Fran?ois Lyotard, Fredric Jameson and J?rgen Habermas contribute for a better comprehension of the postmodernity phenomenon. Undertaking Canetti?s notes and theatre with the philosophical concepts of Adorno?s negative aesthetics, we realise there is a space to reflect upon the theories which befell, like Foucault?s power relations in Micro-physics of Power and the discourses of resistance and deterritorialisation developed by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateau and Anti-Oedipus. Even though Canetti?s plays were written between 1932 and 1956, all of them show a strong critic against modernism, and their characteristics did not help their recognition by the critics, which resulted in a rediscovery of Canetti?s plays after the author won the Nobel Prize in 1981.

Forecasting the stock market is well-known to be a very complex and difficult task, and even by many considered to be impossible. The new model, emph{Historical Consistent Neural Networks} (HCNN), has recently been successfully applied for prediction and risk estimation on the energy markets. HCNN is developed by Dr. Hans Georg Zimmermann, Siemens AG, Corporate Technology Dpt., Munich, and implemented in the SENN (Simulation Environment for Neural Network) package, distributed by Siemens. The evalution is made by tests on a large database of historical price data for global indicies, currencies, commodities and interest rates. Tests have been done, using the Linux version of the SENN package, provided by Dr. Zimmermann and his research team. This thesis takes on the task given by Eturn Fonder AB, to develop a sound basis for evaluating and using HCNN, in a fast and easy manner. An important part of our work has been to develop a rapid and improved implementation of HCNN, as an interactive software package. Our approach has been to take advantage of the parallelization capabilities of the graphics card, using the CUDA library together with an intuitive and flexible interface for HCNN built in MATLAB. We can show that the computational power of our CUDA implementation (using a cheap graphics device), compared to SENN, is about 33 times faster. With our new optimized implementation of HCNN, we have been able to test the model on large data sets, consisting of multidimensional financial time series. We present the results with respect to some common statistical measures, evaluates the prediction qualities and performance of HCNN, and give our analysis of how to move forward and do further testing.

Partindo da clássica obra Massa e Poder (1960), de Elias Canetti, o estudo prossegue com o exame de dois ensaios de Peter Sloterdijk, Regras para o Parque Humano (1999) e O Desprezo das Massas (2000), e procura esclarecer as transformações do conceito de massa entre esses dois autores, da massa negra e molar de Canetti à massa colorida e gasosa de Sloterdijk. Sem a pretensão de percorrer o conceito na história da filosofia política, pretende-se fazer notar como a reflexão sobre a natureza, as potencialidades e os riscos das multidões assume um papel cada vez mais importante no pensamento sobre a política e cultura contemporâneas. As catastróficas experiências das grandes guerras mundiais mostraram a urgência de uma análise séria dos comportamentos direcionados ou espontâneos de massa, principalmente para aqueles que desejam pensar sobre o que ainda podem significar, hoje, idéias como democracia ou humanidade. Se, como nota Sloterdijk, o humanismo não é mais capaz de domesticar o homem contemporâneo, bombardeado cada vez mais intensamente por mídias embrutecedoras, outras antropotécnicas - mais efetivas que o velho humanismo na sua forma de domesticar o homem - deverão substituí-lo em nome de um determinado projeto de humanidade. Massa e humanização apresentam-se hoje como tópicos estreitamente relacionados, e refletir sobre o que significa ser humano hoje e o que poderá significar amanhã exige uma maior compreensão dos fenômenos de massa no século que se inicia. / Abstract: This work proposes to examine the phenomenon of human masses and their cultural, social and political implications for the XXIth century. Taking as its point of depart Elias Canetti's classic essay Mass und Macht (1960), the study continues with an examination of two texts by Peter Sloterdijk, Regeln für den Menschenpark (1999) and Die Verachtung der Massen (2000), and seeks to clarify the transformations of the concept of mass between these two authors, from Canetti's black and molar mass to the gaseous and colorful mass of Sloterdijk. Without the pretension of examining the concept of mass through the whole history of political philosophy, its aim is to make clear how the reflection on the nature, the potential and risks of the masses has an increasingly important role in thinking about contemporary politics and culture. The disastrous experiences of the great world wars has shown the urgency of a serious analysis of the directed or spontaneous conduct of the masses, especially for those who want to think about what the ideas of democracy or humanity can still mean today. If, as Sloterdijk remarked, humanism is no longer capable of domesticating contemporary man, as he is increasingly bombed by brutal media, other antropotechniques - more effective than the old humanism to attain human domesticating - should replace it in the name of a particular project of humanity. Mass and humanization present themselves today as closely related topics, and to reflect about what it means to be human today and what could that mean tomorrow requires greater understanding of the phenomena of mass in the century that begins. / Mestrado / Mestre em Filosofia

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys christliches Selbstbild steht heute gemeinhin außer Frage. Jedoch ist nach wie vor von Interesse, auf welche Weise er seine protestantische Spiritualität ganz konkret auslebte und welcherart seine Glaubensüberzeugungen waren. Diesen Fragen widmet sich diese Staatsexamensarbeit, wobei neben dem Konfirmationsbekenntnis aus dem Jahr 1825 und weiteren schriftlichen Quellen (vornehmlich die Korrespondenz mit Julius Schubring) insbesondere der Entstehungsprozess des mendelssohnschen Oratoriums Paulus Beachtung findet. Die Forschungsfrage lautet: Inwiefern lassen sich aus der Analyse des Konfirmationsbekenntnisses sowie des Entstehungsprozesses des Oratoriums Paulus von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Schlüsse auf dessen protestantische Spiritualität ziehen? Es werden folgende Hypothesen überprüft: 1. Das Konfirmationsbekenntnis sowie der Entstehungsprozess des Oratoriums Paulus legen nahe, dass Mendelssohns protestantische Spiritualität weniger in der schlichten Bibelgläubigkeit des Pietismus als vielmehr in einem aufgeklärten, eher rationalistischen Protestantismus bestand. 2. Im Libretto des Paulus können Anhaltspunkte der Theologie Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermachers nachgewiesen werden, die darauf schließen lassen, dass Mendelssohn diese teilte und infolgedessen als ein Anhänger Schleiermachers bezeichnet werden darf.:1.

The thesis deals with the transformation of perception of vampire in Western culture from early modern period to present. The vampire in modern Western culture is very popular and has an unwavering place. Vampires are now attractive and basically not dangerous. The subject of this work is question whether it was so in previous centuries. Work present the change in appearance and character, both fictional character and "real vampires." Based on the analysis of selected fictional works (literary and visual) from the late 18th century, when the vampire came to Western fiction, work shows how gradually transforms the image that this supernatural beings attributes in West. An essential part of how culture perceives certain phenomenon is a belief in it. Therefore I am interested in how the West over time explaining this phenomenon. Work also introduces the Norbert Elias's civilization theory. Analysis of transformation in the perception of a vampire in Western culture follows it's tracks and the results are compared with it with the goal to give answer on question whether this phenomenon is turning into the terms of this theory.

Cette thèse vise à cerner les raisons historiques, intellectuelles et affectives de l’importance que reçoit le problème de la vulnérabilité individuelle dans la culture politique des sociétés modernes. Il s’agit de tenter de comprendre pourquoi et par le concours de quelles transformations normatives et structurelles nous en sommes venus, comme citoyens, à attendre de l’État qu’il nous protège des affres de l’existence. L’oeuvre philosophique de Thomas Hobbes, fondée sur une anthropologie individualiste où l’homme apparaît mû par deux affects, le désir et la crainte, nous paraît être la première formulation théorique de ce problème de la vulnérabilité, et à ce titre, nous posons qu’elle a été déterminante pour l’institutionnalisation d’une rationalité politique proprement moderne. De manière à saisir quelles ont pu être les conditions de possibilité de la philosophie de Hobbes, de même que son influence sur l’imaginaire politique occidental, il nous faut tenter de comprendre non seulement pourquoi l’affectivité humaine a pu se trouver ainsi posée comme enjeu du gouvernement, mais comment elle est aussi liée, de manière générale, au fonctionnement des institutions sociales, lequel est historiquement contingent. Il en va ainsi d’une interrogation, que nous poursuivrons dans un relevé des principaux concepts à l’aide desquels Sigmund Freud, Norbert Elias, Max Weber et Michel Foucault ont pensé les modalités du façonnement social et historique de la subjectivité, et par le biais de laquelle nous espérons expliquer pourquoi le « type d’homme » sur lequel s’appuie le régime libéral moderne implique le vécu d’une expérience affective marquée par un rapport tendu entre le désir et le sentiment de la vulnérabilité.

This way, the psychic exile , comdemns the person to a radical intimate weirdness feeling, where the world and the oneself unintelligibility prevails. From the psychoanalytic standpoint, this entity is called psychosis; from the current use of the language standpoint, it is called madness. Through a transversal cut in Elias Canetti biography, from the time the writer lived in and his relations to the German language, culture and literature, it is possible to identify in Peter Kien character and in the novel Auto de F?, the points that support our hypothesis related to the self exile : that the use of the language that Canetti does, enables him to make a perfect representation of the psychic laceration that hits the novel protagonist, according to his relations to the world and to the other characters, as well as the subjective question fulfills the metaphor role of a world under fragmentation, not only from the one that was used as raw material for the work, also from the world today, that is nothing but the logical and direct consequence that was already announced at the beginning of the XX century. / O sentido de ex?lio de si que foi privilegiado neste trabalho se constitui em um tipo de ex?lio que n?o ? escolhido e tampouco ? imposto de fora, pois a sua ocorr?ncia se relaciona com uma injun??o estrutural, da ordem do psiquismo. Sendo assim, o ex?lio ps?quico condena o sujeito a um sentimento de radical estranheza ?ntima onde o que prevalece ? a ininteligibilidade do mundo e de si mesmo. Do ponto de vista da teoria psicanal?tica, esta entidade ? denominada de psicose; do ponto de vista do uso corrente da l?ngua, ? chamada de loucura. Atrav?s de um corte transversal que vai da biografia de Elias Canetti, da ?poca em que o escritor viveu e de suas rela??es com a l?ngua alem? e com a literatura, procuramos identificar no personagem Peter Kien e no romance Auto de F?, os pontos que apoiam a nossa hip?tese em rela??o ao ex?lio de si : que o uso que Canetti faz da linguagem propiciou-lhe fazer uma perfeita representa??o do esfacelamento ps?quico que assola o protagonista do romance em suas rela??es com o mundo e com os outros personagens, assim como esta quest?o subjetiva cumpre o papel de met?fora de um mundo em fragmenta??o, n?o s? daquele que lhe serviu de mat?ria-prima para a confec??o da obra, como do mundo de hoje, que nada mais ? do que a consequ?ncia l?gica e direta do que j? se anunciava no alvorecer do s?culo XX.

La présente étude s’attache à retracer l’histoire textuelle de l’Échelle, encore jamais entreprise, à travers un corpus manuscrit comportant près de 350 codices ; ce corpus est traité exhaustivement du IXe s. au XIIIe s. et partiellement jusqu’au XVIIe s .L’ouvrage composé au VIIe s. est constitué des discours ascétiques de Jean du Sinaï et de plusieurs pièces-annexes. Il est considéré dans la tradition manuscrite comme le livre de l’Échelle (Κλίμαξ) faite de trente degrés, guide spirituel menant au ciel, et son auteur reçoit l’appellation de Climaque (ὁ τῆς Κλίμακος). Les pratiques de lecture de l’ouvrage, sa place dans les recueils et ses emprunts témoignent du rôle important qu’a joué l’Échelle, avec ses aphorismes et ses métaphores, dans la littérature ascétique à Byzance. Un abondant corpus de scholies exégétiques rédigées au Xe s. et développé par des citations d’auteurs ascétiques au XIe s. atteste de la réception originale de l’œuvre de Jean Climaque. Le Commentaire d’Élie de Crète, composé au début du XIIe s. et conservé dans 19 manuscrits, propose une exégèse exhaustive de l’ouvrage en s’appuyant sur les scholies mais aussi sur de nombreuses références patristiques et philosophiques. La présente thèse propose un classement des codices de l’Échelle, de ses scholies et un stemma codicum du Commentaire d’Élie ; tous les manuscrits examinés sont décrits sous forme d’un répertoire. L’étude établit les éditions princeps et critiques de nombreuses scholies et d’une partie du Commentaire. / The study relates the textual history of the Ladder, which has never been made attempted before, through a manuscript corpus containing nearly 350 codices exhaustively from the 9th to the 13th and partially up to the 17th century.The work composed in the 7th century is made up of the ascetic discourses of John Sinaites and of a few textual pieces enclosed with them. It is considered in the manuscript tradition as the book of the Ladder (Κλίμαξ) made of thirty steps, spiritual guide leading to Heaven, and its author receives the name of Climacus (ὁ τῆς Κλίμακος). The ways this book was read, its place in the collections and its quotations indicate the important role played by the Ladder, with its aphorisms et metaphors, in the ascetic literature in Byzantium. An abundant corpus of exegetic scholia written in the 10th century and developed in the form of quotations of ascetic authors in the 11th century attests to the original reception of the treatise of John Climacus. The Commentary of Elias of Crete, composed at the beginning of the 12th century and preserved in 19 manuscripts, proposes an exhaustive exegesis of the Ladder, relying on scholia but also on many patristic and philosophical references.The present dissertation establishes a classification of the codices of the Ladder, of its scholia and proposes a stemma codicum of the Elias’ Commentary ; all the examinated manuscripts are described in a repertoire. The study provides Princeps and critical editions of numerous scholia and of a part of the Commentary.

As a result, not only collections of curiosities and antiques, but also libraries, laboratories, gardens and classrooms became a part of such new spaces devoted to the arts, techniques and science. One illustrative example is the Ashmolean Museum, which was created in Oxford University in 1683 based on the plans and collections of Elias Ashmole, an antiquarian and Fellow of the Royal Society. The present study sought to demonstrate that the connection of Ashmole to the contemporary English science played a major role in the creation of the Ashmolean Museum / No século XVII, os museus foram transformados em espaços que refletiam as novas ideias da ciência, especialmente as de Lord Bacon e sua Casa de Salomão . Dessa forma, não só coleções de raridades e antiguidades, mas bibliotecas, laboratório, jardins e salas de aula passaram a fazer parte desses novos espaços dedicados à arte, à técnica e à ciência. Um exemplo disso seria o Museu Ashmoleano, fundado em 1683, na Universidade de Oxford, a partir dos planos e coleções do antiquarista e membro da Royal Society de Londres, Elias Ashmole. Nesta dissertação, pretende-se demonstrar que os vínculos de Elias Ashmole com a ciência inglesa do período tiveram um papel fundamental para a constituição do Museu Ashmoleano
