Cette recherche a pour but l'étude de situations traumatiques caractérisées par l'absence de langage. Il se penche plus précisément sur une évaluation du lien paradoxal entre l'expérience de mort psychique où le langage fait défaut et entre différentes expressions créatrices dans les arts (au théâtre chez Samuel Beckett, dans la poésie dans l'œuvre de Paul Celan et dans l'œuvre artistique de Francis Bacon), telles des trouvailles spécifiques au renouvellement du langage et de la vie. Cette démarche est soumise à la capacité de l'artiste de supporter la "mort psychique" et l'absence de représentation et de langage, ce que je nomme dans ce travail "le langage négatif", et d'en faire ressortir, par son art, des piliers qui formeraient un nouveau piédestal à la vie, à l'existence, à la créativité et à la découverte. Ce sujet a préoccupé le célèbre psychanalyste britannique Wilfred Bion et l'a amené à développer un ensemble de concepts théoriques et cliniques. Le modèle conçu dans cette recherche utilise les concepts théoriques et cliniques de Bion concernant les psychothérapeutes et psychanalystes et donne la possibilité de définir les différentes voies par lesquelles un artiste réussit à se servir de la créativité ou du processus de création comme étant un contenant (concept fondamental chez Bion) lui permettant d'accéder à des territoires et des domaines psychiques situés au-delà du langage. Dans une certaine mesure, différemment de Bion focalisé sur la thérapie, le modèle préconisé par cette présente recherche, fait essentiellement appel à la création artistique et à l'artiste au sein du processus créatif, comme étant le témoignage de son expérience dans "l'espace de mort". Il permet ainsi, non seulement de découvrir un "langage" propre à l'artiste mais aussi d'enrichir la théorisation thérapeutique psychanalytique de Bion, qui lui-même, tout comme Freud, admet que l'artiste devance le psychanalyste et parfois même lui trace la voie. / The purpose of this research was to study traumatic situations characterized by the absence of language. More specifically, the focus is on the paradoxical relation between the experience of "psychic death" in which language fails and on the other hand, different creative expressions in the arts (in the theatre of Samuel Beckett, in the poetic writings of Paul Celan, and the paintings of Francis Bacon), as well as specific discoveries recreating the possibility of language and even life. This act is made possible by the capability of the artist to support "psychic death" and absence of representation - named in this work "negative language", and to go through it by his art which recreates an access to life, creativity and new discoveries. This subject preoccupied the eminent British psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion and led him suggest an abundance of new theoretical and clinical concepts. The model developed in the present research uses these conceptualizations of Bion concerning the psychotherapist and the psychoanalyst and applies it to the different ways that serve the artist to successfully use creative processes to form a container (a fundamental concept in Bion’s theories), and thus get access to territories and zones which are beyond common language. Bion focuses on therapy while the present model and research focuses on the artistic creation as a testimony coming back from the "region of death". It enables not only to find a "language" for the artist but also to enrich the psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic theorization of Bion, who admitted as Freud did that the artist precedes the psychoanalyst and even paves a new way.

<p>Historically, the wind has functioned in multiple capacities, both physically and symbolically. The following study explores the ways in which natural history, myth and folklore, craft knowledge, and religion contributed to a growing body of knowledge about the wind at a moment in British history when wind knowledge assumed unprecedented political and economic significance. How did people come to know the wind and to narrate and communicate wind knowledge in the seventeenth century? What work did these complex and competing narrations perform? And what do they make visible? In pursuing these lines of inquiry, my work brings together three principle bodies of knowledge: Environmental History, History of Science, and British Imperial history; and it draws upon documents that include scientific treatises, written records of oral anecdotes and weather wising, religious sermons, travel narratives, fictional novels, and imperial correspondence. I argue that because the wind and wind knowledge were ubiquitous to the emerging success and identity of the British empire, a great variety of historical actors sought to control and narrate what wind knowledge was, where it came from, and what political work it should do. These efforts were unequivocally rooted in first hand experience and observation of the wind--maker's knowledge--and created what I call an intellectual commons that enabled commoners as well as elites to shape and briefly control the contours of wind knowledge in early Modern Britain and its expanding empire.</p> / Dissertation

"The thesis itself, involves some psychological and philosophical aspects and thoughts about fear as the main mover in the so called negative aesthetic. This specific method of self-expression, its possible triggers and the reasons that may initiate art creation on the basis of pessimistic and ugly imagery have not been discussed to a great degree in the past. Generally, the content of this writing is focused on the fictious correspondence between two engravers and printmakers. These invented letters serve as an exposé for practical findings and thoughts about the author's works executed during the period 2005-2006." / Master of Arts

Ce travail examine le problème de l'exploration, tel qu'il se présente dans les chroniques de voyage qui ont forgé la cartographie du monde moderne entre la Renaissance et les Lumières, en privilégiant l'analyse des enjeux épistémologiques entre le nouveau et l'inconnu. A travers une lecture de ce corpus portant sur l'Amérique et des spéculations géographiques et politiques sur le continent austral, il montre, d'une part, que dans ces textes un régime de spatialité trouve son instance inaugurale ; de l'autre, que l'histoire de celui-ci est aussi celle de la philosophie elle-même, pour autant qu'elle s'est conçue sur le modèle d'une exploration dans la tradition baconienne jusqu'au XVIIIème siècle chez D'Alembert. Il montre l'ancrage historique des images géographiques ainsi que la continuité entre la production de savoir et la production d'un espace à découvrir au sein des voyages d'exploration, face auxquels, contrairement à la métaphorologie blumenbergienne, l'archéologie foucaldienne trouve une limite. Puis, il interroge l'horizon de sens anthropologique de l'exploration, en particulier à travers la polémique de la présence d'une espèce d'hommes géants au Nouveau Monde, et examine l'appropriation scientifique de cette figure littéraire, dans l'histoire naturelle d'Acosta à Buffon. Enfin, après un regard sur le rapport ambigu entre les usages de la thèse du vieillissement du monde et l'ouverture épistémologique des objets possibles de l'exploration, il propose une analyse de la centralité de la gigantum demonstratio au sein du programme philosophique de Vico. / This study examines the issue of exploration, as it stands in the travel chronicles that have forged modern world cartography between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, favouring the analysis of epistemological questions between the new and the unknown. Through an examination of this corpus about America, and the geographical and political speculation about the Southern Land, it shows, on the one hand, that a regime of spatiality begins with these texts; on the other, that its history is also the history of philosophy, as far as it conceived itself on the model of exploration in the baconian tradition until D’Alembert in the 18th century. It identifies the historical foundation of geographical images used in the modern thought, as well as continuity among knowledge production and the production of a space to discover by exploration travels, about which, unlike Blumenberg’s metaphorology, Foucault’s archaeology founds a limit. Then, it questions the exploration’s anthropological horizon of meaning, particularly by the controversy of a giant human species in the New World, and examines the scientific appropriation of this literary figure in the natural history from Acosta to Buffon. Lastly, after a look on the ambiguous relation between the ageing world thesis and the epistemological openness of possible objects of exploration, it proposes an analysis of the importance of the gigantum demonstratio in Vico’s philosophical program.

Esta boçoroca apresenta indícios de desenvolvimento que remontam a década de 1960, episódios recentes de danos gerados à infraestrutura urbana e presença de processos erosivos ativos nas margens. Para apresentar uma análise geográfica deste caso de processo erosivo são apresentados aspectos do histórico de uso da terra no município de Rancharia e aspectos físico-geográficos e as mudanças de uso da terra na microbacia do Córrego do Grito e em escala de detalhe as informações cartográficas sobre a boçoroca. Diante deste caso de processo erosivo que se perpetua por cinco décadas, nesta tese são apresentadas informações geográficas detalhadas da boçoroca a partir de dados coletados em levantamentos topográficos com equipamentos geodésicos. Durante vinte e quatro meses foi realizado um monitoramento topográfico de parcelas da boçoroca, onde foi constatada uma erosão de rebordo superior a 1,5 m em quatro pontos e uma média de 0,85 m, em toda a parcela monitorada ocorreu uma perda de 305,9 metros quadrados de área. Em relação às propostas de controle do processo erosivo, foram implantados barramentos com fibra vegetal (Bambusa bambos L.) numa parcela experimental com o monitoramento do nível de solo por meio de pinos de erosão, e a partir de uma análise comparativa sendo constatada uma média de movimentação de solo superior na parcela experimental sem o uso de barramentos. A partir das mensurações dos níveis de movimentação do solo e de dados de densidade do solo foram apresentadas estimativas de perda de solo nas parcelas experimentais. Na área da parcela experimental com barramentos foram plantadas espécies vegetais nativas com o intuito de contribuir na recuperação da área degradada. Neste sentido, a partir de informações geográficas detalhadas sobre a área degradada pela boçoroca do Córrego do Grito, a tese visa contribuir no planejamento de futuras medidas para uma recuperação efetiva desta área em Rancharia. A partir da proposta empírica apresentada nesta tese, são apresentadas formas de se repensar sobre a filosofia de Francis Bacon e suas contribuições na Geografia. / This thesis aims to perform a spatial and temporal analysis of the gully of Grito Stream, located in the urban perimeter of the city of Rancharia, and present the proposals to control this peri-urban erosion. This gully presents evidence of development dating back to the 1960s, recent episodes of damage to urban infrastructure and the presence of active erosive processes at the banks. To present a geographic analysis of this case of erosion process are presented aspects of land use history in the municipality of Rancharia and physical-geographic aspects and land use changes in the watershed of the Grito Stream and in detail scale the cartographical information on the gully. In view of this case of erosive process that is perpetuated for five decades, in this thesis detailed geographic information of the gully is presented from data collected in topographic surveys with geodesic equipment. For twenty-four months, a topographic monitoring of borehole plots was carried out, where a ridge erosion greater than 1.5 m was observed in four points and an average of 0.85 m, in all the monitored plot there was a loss of 305.9 square meters of area. In relation to the erosion process control proposals, buses with plant fiber (Bambusa bambos L.) were implanted in an experimental plot with soil level monitoring by means of erosion pins, and from a comparative analysis there is a greater upper soil movement in the experimental plot without the use of buses. Based on the measurements of soil movement levels and soil density data, estimates of soil loss were presented in the experimental plots. In the area of the experimental plot with barriers native plant species were planted with the intention of contributing to the recovery of the degraded area. In this sense, based on detailed geographic information on the area degraded by the gully of the Grito Stream, the thesis aims to contribute in the planning of future measures for an effective recovery of this area in Rancharia. From the empirical proposal presented in this thesis are presented ways to rethink the philosophy of Bacon and his contributions on Geography. / FAPESP: 2013/05664-4

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos Jacinto Nascimento Motta.pdf: 1413752 bytes, checksum: 466d45d754b40761f382c04cc0cb65a4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-10-23 / The PhD. thesis here offered has as its aim the presentation of the Baconian conception of induction, understood as an essential element for the realization of Francis Bacon s project of a Restauration of by means of a reform of learning and sciences. In his most important and influente work, the Instauratio Magna, Bacon highlights the need for a wide survey of both the knowledge and sciences already established in order to know which of these should be abandoned, which perfected and which still are in need of implementation. Once this is achieved, and with due governamental support, a new scientifical era was supposed to begin and many advancements would also be achieved by Humankind. Notwithstanding, as Bacon points out, the reformation of sciences demands a change in the proceedings used by the investigator, which, in turn, results in a reformulation of both the idea of experience and the pattern of inference. It also indicates that the new scientifical era demands the establishment of investigative communities instead of isolated researchers, so that common mistakes to human nature should be avoided. This change, however, could only be realized in a mind duly cleansed of prejudices caused by both the philosophical tradition and by the natural characteristics of Humankind. The first were supposed to be corrected by means of the purging of idols, i.e. false notions which inhabit our mind and are imposed by culture; the latter, being these the greatest impediments on account of having to do with human nature itself, would be corrected by means of three different modalities of help, which combined form the novum organum (the new induction) or the new pattern of Bacon s scientific inference. This new induction must be understood in the contexto of the need for reformulations which promote the necessary aid to the investigator, being the histories the aids to the senses, the tables of presentation of instances the aids to memory and the new induction (Novum Organum) the aid to reason. Thus, we understand that the best interpretative key as regards the Baconian epistemology is the proposal of a reform of human understanding, and not merely the reformation of the logic used in investigations. Such reform would possibilitate the emergence of a new man, gifted with new logical tools and which would cooperate with other researchers towards the aim of assembling a type of inferential device, a collective investigative machine / A tese de doutorado aqui apresentada tem por objetivo apresentar a concepção baconiana de indução entendida como elemento essencial para a efetivação do projeto de Francis Bacon de uma Restauração da humanidade por meio da reforma do conhecimento e das ciências. Em sua mais significativa e influente obra, a Instauratio Magna, Bacon estabelece a necessidade de uma ampla avaliação dos saberes e ciências já constituídos a fim de saber quais devem ser abandonados, quais aprimorados e quais ainda necessitam implantação. De posse desse inventário, e com o devido apoio governamental, uma nova era científica teria início e muitos avanços seriam alcançados pela humanidade. Contudo, observa Bacon, a reforma das ciências exige uma alteração dos procedimentos adotados pelo investigador, o que leva a uma reformulação da ideia de experiência e do padrão de inferência utilizados. Também indica que a nova era científica exige que sejam constituídas comunidades investigativas, em lugar dos pesquisadores, a fim de se evitarem os erros comuns à natureza humana. Mas, isso somente poderia ser efetivado em uma mente devidamente purificada dos prejuízos causados pela tradição filosófica e pelas características naturais do homem. Os primeiros seriam corrigidos por meio da eliminação dos Ídolos, as falsas noções que habitam nossa mente impostas pela cultura. As segundas, os maiores impedimentos por se tratarem da própria natureza humana, seriam corrigidos por meio de três diferentes modalidades de ajuda, que juntas formam o novum organum (ou nova indução), o novo padrão de inferência científica de Bacon. Esta nova indução deve ser entendida no contexto da necessidade de reformas que promovam os auxílios necessários ao investigador, sendo as histórias os auxílios aos sentidos, as tábuas de organização das instâncias os auxílios à memória e a nova indução (ou novum organum) o auxílio à razão. Assim, nosso entendimento é que a melhor chave interpretativa para a epistemologia baconiana é a proposta de uma reforma do entendimento humano, não meramente a reforma da lógica utilizada nas investigações, da qual emergiriam um outro homem, dotado de novas ferramentas lógicas, trabalhando em cooperação, formando uma espécie de dispositivo inferencial, ou uma máquina investigativa coletiva

The overall objective of this research is to analyze the reception of the philosophy of Bacon in certain theoreticians of environmental sciences. The specific objectives are: to explore the Baconian concept of nature, the concept of progress and the absorption of these concepts in environmental sciences. The work is structured in three chapters. The first deals with the concept of nature. The second is about the idea of progress and the last one presents an analysis on certain appropriations of the Baconian philosophy in Hans Jonas, Andrew Brennan and Mauro Grün. The research is fundamental and bibliographic. Thus, the methodological procedures adopted were reading and textual analysis The relevance of the work consists in two fundamental points: Bring the Baconian thought for nvironmental discussions. ii) Criticizes the hegemonic vision of environmental sciences against modernity. It is in this sense that we store expectations to increase the existing bibliography on Bacon, especially with respect to the relevance of his thought. This research seeks to interdisciplinarity in so far as it interacts not only with the ph ilosophy, but also with the sociology, ethics and environmental education. / O objetivo geral dessa pesquisa é analisar a recepção da filosofia de Bacon em determinados teóricos das ciências ambientais. Os objetivos específicos são: estudar o conceito baconiano de natureza, a noção de progresso e a absorção desses conceitos nas ciências ambientais. O trabalho está estruturado em três capítulos. O primeiro versa sobre o conceito de natureza. O segundo, sobre a ideia de progresso. E o último, sobre determinadas apropriações da filosofia baconiana em Hans Jonas, Andrew Brennan e Mauro Grün. A pesquisa é fundamental e bibliográfica. Assim, os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram leitura e análise de texto. A relevância do trabalho consiste em dois pontos fundamentais. i) Vincular o pensamento baconiano às discussões ambientais. ii) Criticar a visão quase hegemônica por parte das ciências ambientais contra a modernidade. É nesse sentido que guardamos expectativas de acréscimo à bibliografia existente sobre Bacon, especialmente no que tange à atualidade de seu pensamento. Esta pesquisa busca a interdisciplinaridade na medida em que dialoga não só com a filosofia, mas também com a sociologia, a ética e a educação ambientais.
