The The’wá:lí Community Digital Mapping Project is a collaborative, scholarly project for which the final product is a digital, layered map of the reserve and traditional lands of the Stó:lō (Xwélmexw) community of The’wá:lí (Soowahlie First Nation). The map, containing over 110 sites and stretching from Bellingham Bay, Washington in the west to Chilliwack Lake, B.C. in the east, is hyperlinked with audio, visual and textual media that tell stories about places of importance to this community. The map is intended to give voice to many different senses of and claims to place, and their intersections, in the The’wá:lí environment, while also exploring the histories of how these places and their meanings have changed over time. It expresses many, often conflicting, ways of understanding the land and waterways in this environment, and presents an alternative to the popular, colonial narrative of the settlement of the Fraser Valley. Thus, the map, intended ultimately for The’wá:lí’s use, is also meant to engage a local, non-Indigenous audience, challenging them to rethink their perceptions about where they live and about the peoples with whom they share their histories and land. The essay that follows is a discussion of the relationship-building, research, writing and map-building processes that have produced the The’wá:lí Community Digital Map. / Graduate / 2017-08-21 / 0740 / 0509 / 0366 / sabinatrimble@gmail.com

Neste trabalho, pretendemos destacar a relevância dos personagens infantis nos textos de Graciliano Ramos e João Antônio, escritores brasileiros do século XX, marcados pela crítica e pela denúncia da realidade nacional, elementos centrais em ambos os projetos literários. Buscamos demonstrar como os personagens infantis presentes nos textos desses dois escritores tornam mais explícitos os traços de arbitrariedade e autoritarismo próprios da formação social brasileira que eles denunciam em seus escritos. Nossos corpora são contos ou capítulos de romances e têm como critério de seleção, não a simetria de gêneros, mas o protagonismo dos personagens infantis, cujos processo de integração social são marcados pela violência e pelo autoritarismo, característicos da cultura senhorial (CHAUÍ, 1996) e da violência estrutural (GORENDER, 2000), associadas aos dois traumas fundamentais de nossa formação: o processo colonial e a escravização dos negros (RIBEIRO, 1999). A leitura comparativa dos textos de Graciliano Ramos e João Antônio possibilita uma percepção mais apurada da centralidade do tema das infâncias e das crianças na obra de cada um deles, pelo fato de que a abordagem delas evidencia e, ao mesmo tempo, redimensiona as contundentes críticas que os autores fizeram à realidade nacional. / In this work, we intend to highlight the relevance of children\'s characters in the texts of Graciliano Ramos and João Antônio, Brazilian writers of the twentieth century, marked by criticism and denunciation of national reality - central elements in both literary projects. We seek to demonstrate how the children\'s characters present in these two writers\' texts make more explicit the traits of arbitrariness and authoritarianism proper to the Brazilian social formation that they denounce in their writings. Our corpora are made of tales or novels chapters, and have as selection criteria, not the symmetry of genres, but the protagonism of the children\'s characters, whose social integration process is marked by violence and authoritarianism, characteristic of the \"manorial culture\" (CHAUÍ, 1996) and of \"structural violence\" (GORENDER, 2000), associated with the two fundamental traumas of our formation: the colonial process and the enslavement of black people (RIBEIRO, 1999). The comparative reading of Graciliano Ramos\'s and João Antônio\'s texts allows a more accurate perception about the centrality of the theme of childhoods and children in the work of each one of them, due to the fact that their approach evidences and at the same time resizes the blunt criticisms that the authors made to the national reality.

Esta tese apresenta um estudo comparativo entre a trilogia O tempo e o vento, formada pelos romances O continente (1995), O retrato (1995) e O arquipélago (1995), do escritor brasileiro Erico Verissimo; e o romance Yaka (1998), do escritor angolano Artur Carlos Maurício Pestana dos Santos, conhecido como Pepetela, pelo fato dos dois escritores se utilizarem de estratégias narrativas comuns, tais como a saga familiar, a metaficção, a técnica narrativa do contraponto e a polifonia na escrita de seus romances históricos ou narrativas de fundação. A utilização de recursos narrativos comuns torna semelhantes as estruturas narrativas das duas obras que formam o corpus da pesquisa. Ao final da tese, esperamos comprovar que a obra do escritor brasileiro serviu de modelo para o escritor angolano, que incorporou algumas de suas estratégias narrativas e as adaptou ao contexto da literatura angolana, segundo o conceito de intertextualidade de Julia Kristeva (1974) que concebe a escrita de um texto literário como a leitura do corpus anterior, noção que implica ver o texto como absorção e transformação de um outro texto, de modo que o romancista ao escrever a sua obra sempre parte de um modelo pré-existente, seja para legitimá-lo ou questioná-lo, sem que isto signifique que ele tenha feito uma mera cópia do modelo apropriado. / This thesis presents a comparative study of the trilogy O tempo e o vento,formed by the novels O Continente (1995), O retrato (1995) and O Arquipélago(1995), by the Brazilian writer ÉricoVerissimo, and the novelYaka (1998), by the Angolan writer Artur Carlos Maurício Pestana dos Santos, known as Pepetela, by the fact of the two writers use common narrative strategies, such as family saga, a metafiction, the counterpoint narrative technique and polyphony in their historical novels writing and founding narratives. The use of narrative resources makessimilar the narrative structures of the two works that compose the corpus of this research. At the end of the thesis, we hope to prove that the work of Brazilian writer served as a model for the Angolan writer, which incorporated some of his narrative strategies and adapted them to the context of the Angolan literature, according to the concept of intertextuality of Julia Kristeva (1974) that conceives writing a literary text as the reading of previous corpus notion that implies seeing the text as absorption and transformation of another text, so that the novelist, at the time he writes his work, always parts of a pre-existing model, in order to legitimize it or question it, without this implying that he has made a mere copy of the appropriate model.

Este trabalho analisa quatro peças brasileiras dos anos 1970: Um grito parado no ar (Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, 1973), Rasga coração (Oduvaldo Vianna Filho, 1974), Gota dágua (Chico Buarque e Paulo Pontes, 1975) e O último carro (João das Neves, 19641967-1976). Escritas por diferentes dramaturgos, essas peças são representantes de um projeto de teatro que se constituiu na década de 1970, marcado pelas tentativas de retomada dos palcos brasileiros com uma dramaturgia cujas principais características são a valorização da palavra como eixo estruturante das peças, o investimento na busca por uma síntese formal de acordo com a matéria histórica a ser representada e a reafirmação do compromisso com o engajamento. A análise das peças permitiu identificar a forte presença de elementos da cultura política comunista e a proximidade de seu discurso com o projeto político do Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB), o que permitiu caracterizá-las como dramaturgia de matriz comunista. As tentativas de retomada dos palcos se deram através de um processo de avaliação da prática teatral no qual os dramaturgos reafirmaram alguns dos pressupostos que haviam tido no horizonte de sua escrita dramatúrgica até então, ao mesmo tempo em que tentaram abandonar outros. Tentando deixar de lado o idealismo com que haviam lido a realidade brasileira e a teleologia revolucionária com que haviam representado os personagens populares, esses dramaturgos não abandonaram a defesa de uma estratégia de resistência ao regime militar através de uma frente ampla pela redemocratização. O frentismo, porém, surge reconfigurado, tendo seu foco deslocado de uma frente policlassista para uma frente entre membros de uma mesma classe social cujas estratégias de ação política divergiam. A busca por uma síntese formal sugere a constituição de uma \"frente estética\" em que diferentes matrizes teóricas foram conjugadas, evidenciando a importância da pesquisa formal para o teatro engajado. No entanto, apesar dessas características convergentes, as peças não deixam de expressar tensões entre si e expõem os impasses e contradições que marcaram a modernização do Brasil nos anos 1970. / This work analyzes four brazilian plays from the 1970s: Um grito parado no ar (Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, 1973), Rasga coração (Oduvaldo Vianna Filho, 1974), Gota dágua (Chico Buarque e Paulo Pontes, 1975) and O último carro (João das Neves, 1964/1967-1976). Written by different playwrights, these plays are representative of a theatre project constituted in the 1970s, marked by attempts to retake brazilian stages with a dramaturgy whose main characteristics are the valorization of the word as the structuring axis of the plays, the investment in the search for a formal synthesis according to the historical matter to be represented and the reaffirmation of commitment to political engagement. The analysis of the plays allowed to identify the strong presence of elements of the communist political culture and the proximity of its discourse with the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB)s political project, which allowed to characterize them as dramaturgy of communist matrix. The attempts to retake the stage took place through a evaluation of theatrical practice in which the playwrights reaffirmed some of the assumptions they had had in the horizon of their dramaturgical writing until then, while attempting to abandon others. Trying to put aside the idealism with which they had read the Brazilian reality and the revolutionary teleology with which they had represented the popular characters, these playwrights did not abandon the defense of a strategy of resistance to the military regime through a front for redemocratization. But the front strategy appears reconfigured, with its focus shifting from a polyclassist front to a front among members of the same social class whose strategies for political action diverged. The search for a formal synthesis suggests the constitution of an \"aesthetic front\" in which different theoretical matrices were conjugated, evidencing the importance of the formal research for the engaged theater. However, despite these convergent characteristics, the plays express tensions among themselves and expose the impasses and contradictions that marked the modernization of Brazil in the 1970s.

O objetivo dessa tese é estudar a produção teatral de Paulo Pontes, dramaturgo que atuou na cena teatral brasileira entre as décadas de 1960 e 1970. Assim sendo, serão analisados os seguintes textos teatrais: Opinião (embora escrito em parceria com Oduvaldo Vianna Filho e Armando Costa), Paraí-bê-a-bá, Brasileiro, profissão esperança, Um Edifício chamado 200; Check-up; Dr. Fausto da Silva, Em nome do Pai, do Filho e do Espírito Santo; Madalena Berro Solto e Gota dágua. Paulo Pontes inscreve-se na história do teatro brasileiro em um período politicamente tenso e de luta: em plena ditadura militar. Portanto, fez-se necessário recuperar, além desse contexto histórico, a formação do artista e do homem político, a fim de compreender a interlocução de sua obra com a época. Pretende-se defender a ideia de que a práxis teatral de Paulo Pontes estava intimamente relacionada ao contexto sócio-político brasileiro, assim como às suas convicções políticas. O dramaturgo foi além de seu campo de atuação, assumiu também o papel de intelectual de esquerda, engajado em um projeto nacional-popular de cultura. O teatro, em sua concepção, necessitava adotar a perspectiva popular para compreender a complexidade da realidade nacional. Assim, busca-se contribuir para o reposicionamento deste dramaturgo na história do teatro brasileiro. / The purpose of this thesis is to study the Paulo Pontes dramatic production, playwright who staged in the Brazilian theater scene between 1960 and 1970. Therefore, the following dramas are analyzed: Opinião (though written with Oduvaldo Vianna Filho and Armando Costa), Paraí-bê-a-bá, Brasileiro, profissão esperança, Um edifício chamado 200; Check-up; Dr. Fausto da Silva, Em nome do Pai, do Filho e do Espírito Santo; Madalena Berro Solto and Gota dágua. Paulo Pontes is part of the history of Brazilian drama in a politically tense period and conflict: during the military dictatorship. Therefore, it was necessary to recover, beyond this historical context, the formation of the artist and the politician in order to understand the dialogue of his work with the time. It is intended to defend the idea that the Paulo Pontes scenical praxis was closely related to the Brazilian socio-political context as well as to their political convictions. The playwright was beyond their field, also took the leftist intellectual\'s role, engaged in a national-popular project culture. The theater, in his view, needed to adopt the popular perspective to understand the complexity of the national situation. Thus, we seek to contribute to the repositioning of this playwright in the history of Brazilian theater.

In order to contextualize this study, a brief historical description of dating within the Brazilian context was presented; from the colonial period in Brazil to the current days including a discussion of the main tasks undertaken since the formation of the couple up to the of the first stage of the family life cycle and yet a presentation of what the family within an intergenerational perspective consists of. This was a qualitative research with an instrumental case outline. An engaged couple from the researcher's network of contacts was appointed and three meetings were conducted with the purpose of investigating the intergenerational stories and how this knowledge could be used in the construction process of conjugal relationship. In the meetings the instruments used were the semi-structured interviews and the genogram. This study highlighted the fact that the sharing of intergenerational stories during the marriage preparation period is essential in the process of building the conjugal relationship. The sooner the couple goes through this process; it will take more time to mature conjugal project. This study also paves the way for preventive work with couples and families in clinics, institutions and communities / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender o processo da construção da conjugalidade a partir do compartilhamento das histórias intergeracionais de um casal em fase de preparação para o casamento. Como forma de contextualização este estudo apresentou uma breve descrição histórica do namoro no Brasil desde o período colonial até os dias atuais; uma discussão a respeito das principais tarefas desenvolvidas desde a formação do casal até o final da primeira fase do ciclo de vida familiar e ainda uma apresentação do que é a família dentro de uma perspectiva sistêmica intergeracional. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com delineamento em estudo de caso instrumental. Foi escolhido um casal de noivos por indicação da rede de contatos da pesquisadora. Foram realizados três encontros com o objetivo de conhecer as histórias intergeracionais e de que maneira este conhecimento poderia ser usado no processo de construção da conjugalidade. Nos encontros foram utilizados como instrumentos a entrevista semiestruturada e o genograma. Este estudo evidenciou o fato de que o compartilhamento das histórias intergeracionais durante o período de preparação para o casamento é fundamental no processo de construção da conjugalidade. O quanto antes o casal passar por este processo, mais tempo ele terá para amadurecer o projeto conjugal. Este estudo também constrói um caminho para o trabalho preventivo com casais e famílias que pode ser estendido aos consultórios, instituições e comunidades

[pt] O teatro musical americano é conhecido internacionalmente devido ao seu poder de entretenimento e grande popularidade. É um gênero híbrido, com raízes europeias, cujos modos de organização se consolidaram no modelo Broadway de exportação ao longo do século XX. O teatro musical brasileiro tem um percurso mais oscilante, alternando momentos de prestígio, à época do teatro de revista, momentos de apelo populista ou didático, caso do teatro musical engajado, e longas entressafras. Desde a década de 1990, o modelo Broadway assalta os palcos brasileiros e, através da apresentação de clássicos do teatro musical americano, educa o gosto da audiência, que se familiariza com as convenções do gênero, como as transições ininterruptas do diálogo para a música e vice-versa. O objetivo desta pesquisa é evidenciar a estrutura do modelo consagrado através de seus elementos constitutivos - book, score - e de sua variedade formal - integrado, conceitual, jukebox - e, desta forma, contribuir para minimizar o desequilíbrio qualitativo dos musicais de autores nacionais face ao modelo Broadway e motivar a criação de libretos que deem continuidade à trajetória do teatro musical brasileiro. / [en] The American musical theater is internationally known due to its entertaining power and its huge popularity. It is a hybrid genre, with European roots, whose organizational methods consolidated into the Broadway-style model for export during the 20th century. The Brazilian musical theater followed a more unsteady path, alternating moments of prestige during the era of the revue, moments of populist or didactic appeal, which is the case of the politically engaged musical, and long off season periods. Since the 1990s, the Broadway model of musical has taken the Brazilian stages by storm, and through showing the classic American musicals, audiences are being educated and familiarized with the conventions of the genre, such as the non-stop transitions between dialog and song and vice-versa. The aim of this research is to highlight the structure of the model that has proven longstanding by the elements that it s made of – book, score – and its variety in form – integrated, conceptual, jukebox – and in this way contribute to minimize the unbalance in quality between the musicals produced by national authors and the Broadway model and to motivate the creation of librettos that will help the Brazilian musical continue on its journey.

This is the first study to approach, both historically and theoretically, the emergence and development of performance art in Greece from the 1970s to the 2010s. Drawing on an interdisciplinary framework - including feminist theory, philosophy, sociology, art history, and more - the study aims to address an evident gap in histories of contemporary Greek art. The research begins with the emergence of performative artistic practices in the 1970s, in the conditions set out by the seven-year Dictatorship (1967-1974) and follows, selectively, the complex trajectory of these practices while investigating their connection with wider socio-political and economic developments. The thesis should not be read as a survey, despite being the first book-length analysis of Greek performance art in both English and Greek. The material included here has been selective (drawn out of years of field research) and yet presents, and represents, the spectrum of themes and positions making up the history of performance art in Greece. My contention is that the rise and establishment of performance art in Greece reflected both the political ferment of the time (early 1970s) and an enquiry into the possibility of flight from traditional media. The dual aim of this study is, first, to facilitate and encourage the integration of performance art in a revised Greek art history; and, second, to contribute to an expansion of performance art histories in an international context through the negotiation of hitherto unknown material synthesised in a study of adequate length. This thesis has required large-scale in situ research and overcoming the major obstacle of the absence of relevant publicly held archives. This was one reason why even an elementary linear history of performance art had been such an overwhelming task in the past; a second reason is the overall marginalisation of performance art theory in the Greek context. Through the Greek paradigm, the thesis illuminates new aspects not only of performance but also of post-performative participatory practices, engaging new conceptualisations. By identifying fundamental issues in the production, dissemination, and reception of performance art in Greece, I provide a critical analysis not only of its achievements and potential but also of its impasses and failures. My intention in undertaking this research has been to disprove the notion - implied or stated as a matter of fact in histories of contemporary Greek art - that performance art has had only a sporadic and inconsistent presence in this 'periphery' scene. I argue that the artists investigated in this study are conclusively part of the history of performance in the 20th and 21th centuries, thereby setting the terms and calling for further research on the subject.

Although patterns of African American and white women breast cancer incidence and mortality in St. Louis, Missouri is consistent with those seen elsewhere in the United States, rates vary greatly across zip codes within the city of St. Louis. North St. Louis, whose neighborhoods are primarily African American, exhibits rates of breast cancer mortality that are among the highest in the city and higher than the state as a whole. Based on information that up to 50% of women in North St. Louis with a suspicious diagnosis of breast cancer never enter treatment, we conducted three 2-hour group model building sessions with 34 community stakeholders (e.g., breast cancer survivors or family members or caregivers and community support members such as navigators) to identify the reasons why African American women do not begin or delay breast cancer treatment. Participant sessions produced a very rich and dynamic causal loop diagram of the system producing disparities in breast cancer mortality in St. Louis. The diagram includes 8 major subsystems, causal links between system factors, and feedback loops, all of which shed light on treatment delays/initiation. Our work suggests that numerous intersecting factors contribute to not seeking treatment, which in turn may contribute to African American and white disparities in mortality.
