Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar se o Teste Wartegg é um instrumento capaz de avaliar a criatividade em seleção de pessoal. Foi realizada uma validade de construto através de estudos correlacionais entre indicadores de criatividade nos protocolos do Wartegg e do Torrance – Forma Figural. Participaram desta pesquisa 68 candidatos de processos seletivos, 47% homens e 52,7% mulheres, com idades entre 18 e 41 anos. Foram observadas evidências de fidedignidade no Wartegg correlacionando-se os itens que compõem as categorias que se acredita estarem relacionadas com a função básica imaginação – criatividade, flexibilidade, visão convencional e rigidez – com seus totais. O melhor indicador no Wartegg para investigar a criatividade foi o somatório da criatividade com a flexibilidade. Além disso, verificou-se uma correlação direta entre o campo 5 do Wartegg e os índices criativos figurais do Torrance (ICF 1 e ICF 2). Ainda que o estudo em questão apresente alguma evidência de validade, novos estudos são necessários. Por fim, constata-se que o objetivo do Wartegg, tanto pelo rapport como pela construção teórica, está muito mais direcionado para o entendimento de questões mais amplas da personalidade do que para a investigação de uma função básica específica. Entretanto, a correlação das funções básicas com testes que investiguem o mesmo construto talvez seja uma das únicas formas de validar o instrumento, tendo em vista a dificuldade de encontrar um teste que avalie as condições de personalidade de maneira tão ampla. / This study it had as objective to investigate if the Wartegg Test is an instrument capable to assess the creativity in personnel selection. A construct validity has been verified through correlation studies between creativity indicators in the protocols of the Wartegg Test and those of the Figural Form of the Torrance Test. Sixty eight candidates for selective processes, 47.0% men and 52.7% women, were involved in this research, ranging from 18 to 41 years of age. Evidences of trustworthiness in the Wartegg Test had been observed correlating items of categories which were assumed to be related with the basic function imagination - creativity, flexibility, conventional vision and rigidity - with its totals. The best Wartegg indicator found to investigate creativity is the sum of creativity plus flexibility. Moreover, a direct correlation was verified between field 5 of the Wartegg and the figural creativity index of the Torrance (ICF 1 e ICF 2). Despite the study presents some evidence of validity, new studies are required. Finally, it is evident the objective of the Wartegg, as much for rapport as for the theoretical construction, is more directed to understanding of ampler questions of personality than to investigation of a specific basic function. However, the correlation between basic functions and tests which investigate the same construct may be the only way to validate the instrument, due the difficulty in finding a test that evaluates conditions of personality in so ampler way.

Uma particularidade notável da narrativa arguediana consiste no fato de seu trabalho literário destacar o embate existente entre a realidade e a língua de forma muito própria. Isto se fez presente, sobretudo, na necessidade de verter para a linguagem literária conteúdos das sociedades e culturas andinas de expressão quéchua. No que diz respeito a isto, o ajuizamento crítico sobre o penúltimo romance de Arguedas, Todas las Sangres (1964), acabou por conduzir a um falso dilema entre representação e fracasso. Arguedas não permaneceu insensível a este debate, ao mesmo tempo era obrigado a aprimorar seus recursos narrativos diante da realidade nova e desconcertante que se propunha a retratar em seu último romance, El Zorro de Arriba y el Zorro de Abajo (1971). Nele, como é sabido, foram levados ao paroxismo os recursos expressivos com os quais o autor estava habituado a lidar. Um desdobramento deste embate surge com o enfrentamento do caráter inconciliável do incondicionado, capaz de furtar-se aos intentos de descrevê-lo, e da linguagem que vem a torcer-se, a refundar-se com o propósito de permanecer fiel ao cenário metamórfico que imita. Buscamos analisar disto que resiste à expressão aproximando-nos de uma forma autônoma e que não é alheia ao romance, o mito. Desde uma concepção determinada do mito, capaz de ser pensada em paralelo à de ideologia, quando o aspecto poiético de ambas é posto em relevo, derivamos para a consideração da mimesis. A abertura da poiesis mimética busca ser preservada nestas passagens. A permeabilidade e a plasticidade criativa que se reserva à noção de mimesis posta em funcionamento deve incidir sobre a realidade do texto. Veremos como a incidência mimética manifesta-se, na textualidade do romance, por intermédio de oscilações de sentido, cuja análise se realiza segundo a perspectiva não retórica da metáfora, para o que recorremos a Paul Ricoeur. Acompanha-se, além disso, o debate em torno da noção de figura, desenvolvido por Erich Auerbach, com o propósito de estabelecer um vínculo entre mediação e invenção. / One remarkable specificity of Arguedian narrative lies in the fact that his literary work highlights the struggle between reality and language in a very particular way. Such tension is present, above all, in the need to translate into literary language the contents of culture and society of the Quechuan-speaking people in the Andes. In this respect, the critical reception of Arguedass previous novel before his last, Todas las Sangres (1964), led to a false dilemma between representation and failure. Arguedas did not remain insensitive to this debate, to the point he felt urged to enhance his narrative resources facing a new and baffling reality he was about to portray in his last novel, El Zorro de Arriba y el Zorro de Abajo (1971). As it is known, in this novel the expressive resources the author was accustomed to cope with were almost taken to a paroxysm. One of the outcomes of this tension springs from the irreconcilable character of the unconditioned, which is able to elude the intentions to describe it, and the language, which comes to twisting itself, to refounding itself so as to remaining faithful to the metamorphic scenario that it imitates. We aim at analyzing what resists expression, which comes close to an autonomous form and is not estranged from the novel, the myth. Starting from a specific conception of the myth, able to be considered in parallel to ideology, as the poietic aspect of both can be highlighted, we approach a discussion about mimesis. The openness of mimetic poiesis tries to be preserved in such passages. The creative permeability and plasticity that are linked to the notion of mimesis must focus on the reality of the text. We will analyze how the mimetic incidence is manifest in the novels textuality through the oscillation of meanings, whose study follows the non-rhetorical perspective of the metaphor, according to the theories of Paul Ricoeur. There is also the discussion on the notion of figure¸ in the terms of Erich Auerbach, in order to establish the link between mediation and invention.

The primary aim of this dissertation is the mapping of Jewish figural iconography in the Czech lands, primarily of the Post-Emancipation - end of 18th to 20th century - period. The research focuses mainly on the protrayal of contemporary Jewish figures found in Czech visual culture, following religious as well as gradually secularized Jews through iconopgraphic themes. In dealing with the less observant or even wholly secularized Jewish figures, the aim is to show the iconographic elements by which these differ from the majority of society. In the first part the most important aspects of the evolution of Jewish iconography are analyzed. Among these the most important ones are a liberal interpretation of the Old Testament prohibition of figural representation, Jewish emancipation involving gradual assimilation as well as the Jewish yearning for an authentic visual representation, which most likely was the main factor behind the evolution of Jewish iconography. In addition to medieval and modern Jewish figural representations special attention is given to portrayal of Prague Jews and themes found in Hebrew manuscripts as well as printed materials, where surprisingly enough a much lower number of demeaning signs are found. Furthermore a gallery of portraits showing Czech Jews is shown, including...

The aim of this theoretical and practical thesis is to clarify the idea of the existence of four basic elements with the focus on those of their features that can be straitforwardly used for the characterictic and temperamental traits of an individual. It also deals with the topic of symbol and allegory in art, explains some terms and, to some extent, characterizes their development, including their clarification based on particular works of art. The thesis con-centrates also on the use of the themes of elements, symbols and allegory as a source of in-spiration in Art lessons at basic schools. The practical part contains a colours drawing with the motif of figural composition of four allegoric figures representing the basic elements.

Diploma project Zenith House is trying to find and map a position of figural painting in a contemporary art world. Through a detailed study of works of contemporary painters, who use historical influences and compositions, it argues the evolution of painting. It slightly touches the phenomenom of portraiture and the contemporary trend of de-skilling the craftsmen.

Quel type d’expérience faisons-nous quand nous « regardons un film » ? Si cette formulation se montre impropre du fait de la double implication sensorielle d’un voir/entendre qu’engage l’expérience spectatorielle, elle signale d’emblée une forme d’équivocité à propos de ce qu’on « regarde » comme de ce qu’engage le rapport que nous établissons avec ce que nous percevons d’un film. Il s’offre en effet comme une expérience de mimèsis singulière, dont l’examen est l’enjeu du présent travail. La méthode retenue a consisté à mener notre réflexion à partir de l’étude attentive d’un corpus de six films : Valse avec Bachir, d’Ari Folman, Caché, de Michael Haneke, le diptyque Mulholland drive/Lost highway, de David Lynch, Le mystère Picasso, de Henri-Georges Clouzot, et Eût-elle été criminelle…, de Jean-Gabriel Périot. Cette méthode nous a permis de nous interroger sur le type d’opérations que le visionnage d’un film requiert chez le spectateur, comme de nous demander quelle est la nature des objets perçus par le biais du dispositif cinématographique. Nous avons mis à jour le statut équivoque de ce que le spectateur perçoit, en distinguant trois aspects de l’image filmique : profigurant, figuratif, figural. Cette distinction met en évidence l’ambiguïté de l’image filmique quant à ce qu’elle image : monde représenté, complexe d’images et de sons, ensemble d’événements issus du monde réel. Ceci dans un second temps nous a conduit à étudier en quoi la réalisation engage des opérations productives de sens et de prescriptions pour le spectateur. A quelles conditions peut-on la penser comme écriture ? Et qu’est-ce qui est ainsi « réalisé » par ces opérations ? Enfin il s’agissait de s’interroger sur le rôle singulier que le cinéma réserve au spectateur : cette expérience particulière engage des activités tant perceptives, que cognitives et affectives, des immersions dans des temporalités hétérogènes, et un mode de croyance qui n’exclut pas le savoir de ce qui s’y joue. / What exactly do we experience when we “watch a movie” ? This phrase may seem ill-chosen since, in this “spectatorial experience” the viewer not only watches but he also listens. However it announces straightaway a form of equivocity between what we watch and what we connect with, while watching a movie. It appears as a unique experience of mimesis whose analysis is the aim of this study.The chosen method consisted in carrying out our reflection starting from the attentive study of a corpus of six films: Waltz with Bachir, by Ari Folman, Hidden, by Michael Haneke, the diptych Mulholland drive/Lost highway, by David Lynch, the Mystery Picasso, by Henri-Georges Clouzot, and Even if she had been a criminal…, by Jean-Gabriel Périot. This method enabled us to study the type of operations which the watching of a film requires from the spectator, and led us to ask ourselves which is the nature of the objects perceived by the means of the cinematographic device. We’ve highlighted the equivocity of what the spectator perceives, by distinguishing three aspects of the filmic image : profigurant, figurative, figural. This distinction underlines the ambiguity of the filmic image in what it actually shows : a representation of the world, a mixing of images and sounds, a set of events resulting from the real world. This, in a second time, led us to study to what extent the director’s choices engages productive operations of direction and regulations for the spectator. On which conditions can we consider it as writing? And what is thus « realized » by these operations? At last, we have tried to analyse the singular role that the cinema offers to the spectator : this particular experience involves perceptive, cognitive and emotional activities, immersions in heterogeneous temporalities, and a mode of belief in which the viewer is aware of what is at stake.

Thereby, this work intends to answer the following questions: How do students make use of the tools and/or resources of Cabri 3D in order to learn the geometric transformations of space? How does the integration of Cabri 3D interfere in the process of learning these geometric transformations? The methodology adopted used aspects of Didactics Engineering, according to Artigue (1988). The theoretical foundation was the Instrumental Approach of Rabardel (1995) to enable the understanding of how students interact with Cabri 3D and which contents they make use of during the development of a sequence of activities. In addition, the theory of Register of Semiotics Representation of Duval (1995) was used, specifically the apprehensions of a figure. The analyses of the activities which involve notions of geometrical transformation of space helped us realize other possibilities that the instruments can give the subjects as well as different ways of organizing the actions. Moreover, the activities made the development of different strategies easier for students who used the Cabri 3D and students established relationships between the software and mathematical knowledge. We verified the occurrence of Instrumental Genesis, because the students actions showed pre-established schemes or the development of new schemes. At the same time, the use of Cabri 3D helped the perceptive apprehension of the figures and allowed to become dynamic. This way, Cabri 3D permitted the dynamic figural register, facilitated the positional modification and the other modifications of figures, and their visualization / Esta tese teve por objetivo observar como estudantes do segundo ano do Ensino Médio apropriam-se das transformações geométricas no espaço, quando interagem com o ambiente de Geometria Dinâmica Cabri 3D, bem como qual raciocínio mobilizam quando desenvolvem atividades que abrangem esse conteúdo. Assim, a pesquisa pretendeu responder às seguintes questões: de que maneira, os estudantes apropriam-se das ferramentas e/ou recursos do Cabri 3D na aprendizagem das transformações geométricas no espaço? Como a integração do Cabri 3D interfere no processo de aprendizagem dessas transformações geométricas? A metodologia do estudo apoiou-se nos pressupostos da Engenharia Didática de Artigue (1988). O referencial teórico baseou-se na Abordagem Instrumental de Rabardel (1995a) para compreender como os alunos interagem com o Cabri 3D e quais conteúdos mobilizam no desenvolvimento da sequência de atividades e na teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica de Duval (1995), especificamente, nas diferentes apreensões de uma figura. A análise das atividades ajudou a perceber outras possibilidades que os instrumentos podem oferecer aos sujeitos e as diferentes maneiras de organizar suas ações. Além disso, as atividades facilitaram o desenvolvimento de distintas estratégias no uso do Cabri 3D e o estabelecimento de relações entre o software e os conhecimentos matemáticos dos estudantes. Constatou-se a ocorrência do processo de Gênese Instrumental, visto que as ações dos alunos evidenciaram esquemas de utilização preestabelecidos ou o desenvolvimento de novos esquemas. Ao mesmo tempo, o uso do Cabri 3D facilitou a apreensão perceptiva das figuras e permitiu dinamizá-las. Nesse sentido, o Cabri 3D propiciou o registro figural dinâmico, facilitou a modificação posicional e as outras modificações das figuras, além de auxiliar em sua visualização

L’intérêt porté aux filmographies de cinéastes russes aussi différents qu’Andreï Tarkovski, Andreï Zviaguintsev et Kira Mouratova aboutit à la découverte d’une quête esthétique commune propre aux trois réalisateurs : l’élaboration d’une image cinématographique modelée par le temps autant dans sa matérialité filmique que dans sa puissance métaphorique. Cette approche artistique semble cristallisée dans le terme "kinoobraz" théorisé par Andreï Tarkovski qui s’impose dès lors comme un médium entre la recherche théorique et le champ d’expérimentation analytique de ce travail. Le terme russe "kinoobraz" traduit en français par « image cinématographique » recèle autant de problèmes que de potentiel théorique et analytique. La nature de cette recherche consiste donc en une appropriation, une réinvention et une mise à l’épreuve d’une notion ("kinoobraz"), trois opérations menées simultanément dans un parcours multiple. D’abord, une étude à la fois historique et théorique des conceptions russo-soviétiques de l’"obraz" (théologie des icônes orthodoxes à travers les textes de Pavel Florensky, l’"obraz" selon Sergueï Eisenstein, le "kinoobraz" de Tarkovski) révèle toute une série de résonances conceptuelles avec les théories françaises du figural (à partir du texte "Discours, figure" (1971) de Jean-François Lyotard). Cette confrontation entre la généalogie russe du "kinoobraz" et les propriétés esthétiques du figural, alimentée par la pratique de l’analyse filmique comparée, permet la redéfinition du "kinoobraz" comme un outil opératoire d’analyse. Ainsi, la mise à l’épreuve du "kinoobraz" dans le champ d’expérimentations analytiques sur le corpus de référence composé des films d’Andreï Tarkovski, Andreï Zviaguinstev et Kira Mouratova explore la spécificité temporelle de la matière filmique et du dispositif cinématographique. / Focusing on the cinema of three Russian different filmmakers such as Andreï Tarkovski, Andreï Zviaguintsev and Kira Mouratova, we discover a common aesthetic thread: the development of a film image molded by time both in film's materiality and in its metaphorical power. This artistic approach is crystallized by the term kinoobraz theorized by Andreï Tarkovski, whose ideas and films serve as a link between the theoretical research and the analytic experimentation of the present work. The Russian word "kinoobraz" is usually translated into English as “film image” but this translation does not reveal its full theoretical and analytic potentials. Our research aims at giving this notion its proper place, its reinvention and its use as a tool, all three conducted simultaneously on parallel tracks. Our exploration of this notion includes both historical and theoretical study of the Russian and Soviet conceptions of "obraz" through the theology of orthodox icons found in Pavel Florensky’s texts, its definition by Sergueï Eisenstein, and Tarkovski’s refinement as "kinoobraz". This study reveals a series of conceptual resonances with the French theories of figural (starting with Jean-François Lyotard’s work "Discours, figure" (1971)). The juxtaposition of the Russian genealogy of "kinoobraz" and the aesthetic traits of figural, nurtured by comparative film analysis, allows us to redefine kinoobraz as an analytic tool. Using this tool in the analytic experimentation based on the reference corpus of the films of Andreï Tarkovski, Andreï Zviaguintsev and Kira Mouratova leads us to a deeper understanding of the time specificity of the film matter and the cinematic "dispositif".

De quelle mise en discours procède l’ensemble des récits pluriels qui narrent les « origines » dans le livre de la Genèse de la littérature biblique pour composer ce qui est présenté comme un « cycle » ordonné ? Cette question conduit à formuler l’hypothèse selon laquelle le premier récit de création ou « septénaire des jours » constitue, tel un paradigme, un système apte à ordonner le déploiement des récits suivants (Gn 2 à 11). Surtout, l’originalité de ce système est de mettre en place des mécanismes d’orientation vers une instance d’énonciation, constituant ainsi une « empreinte ». Et la mise en discours des textes qui suivent dispose, par les parcours discursifs, des « formants-signifiants » d’ordre « figural » propres à rappeler cette empreinte et à fonctionner comme autant d’indicateurs de l’instance d’énonciation. Enfin, au terme du livre biblique, le septénaire des « sceaux » (Apocalypse 5-8) vient réexposer le paradigme, récapituler le « figural », renouveler l’indication de l’instance d’énonciation et redéfinir l’orientation vers cette instance. La mise en discours opère ainsi, par le figural, un véritable « nouage » entre les grandeurs figuratives et l’instance d’énonciation. En son figural, la figure devient achoppement balisant la lecture, orientant le lecteur pour le conduire au plus près des postures des sujets de l’instance d’énonciation. / What procedure of discursivization makes it possible to present the ensemble of varied narratives recounting “origins,” in the book of Genesis of the biblical literature, as an orderly “cycle”? This question leads to the formulation of the hypothesis that the first story of creation, the “septenary of days,” constitutes, as a paradigm, a system capable of structuring the deployment of the following narratives (Gn 2 – 11). The originality of this system consists, above all, in putting in place mechanisms of orientation toward an instance of enunciation which constitutes a “footprint.” Then, the discursivization of the subsequent texts, by means of the discursive path, employs “formant-signifiers” of the “figural” order, likely to recall this footprint and to function as so many indicators of the instance of enunciation. Finally, at the end of the biblical literature, the “septenary of seals” in the book of Revelation (Apocalypse 5-8) reexposes the paradigm, recapitulates the figural, renews the indication of the instance of enunciation, and redefines the orientation toward this instance. Thus, by means of the figural, discursivization ties a veritable “knot” between figurative values and instance of enunciation. In its figural, the figure becomes a stumbling stone along the path of the reading which orients the reader, leading him as close as possible to the positions of the subjects of the instance of enunciation.
