Orientador: Maria Lídia Lichtscheidl Maretti / Banca: Ana Maria Carlos / Banca: Ana Márcia Alves Siqueira / Resumo: O presente trabalho consiste em analisar três romances de Franklin Távora, com enfoque na questão do subgênero romance histórico, bem como em outros aspectos de ordem estética que estão direta e indiretamente relacionados ao assunto. O Cabeleira (1876), O Matuto (1878) e Lourenço (1881) são as obras mais bem conceituadas pela fortuna crítica do autor, dados o caráter polêmico, a importância cultural e temática e a inovação genérica que as caracterizam. Um dos pontos mais polêmicos e discordantes é a questão histórica presente nessas obras: muitos críticos vêem de forma negativa o recurso ao passado na construção do processo enunciativo de tais obras, principalmente em relação ao projeto estético do autor. Por esta razão, alguns as consideram como documentais, e outros, como romances históricos. Tais apreciações críticas se dão, na maioria das vezes, de forma um tanto pejorativa. Por outro lado, História e Literatura são hoje vistas como estruturas discursivas complementares. O presente estudo é, portanto, uma proposta de aprofundamento da pesquisa já realizada sobre o estado da arte da produção tavoreana, agora enfocando diretamente a obra do escritor a fim de contribuir com os estudos sobre o autor. / Résumé: Ce travail se propose à analyser trois romans de Franklin Távora, tout en considérant la question du sous-genre roman historique, ainsi que d'autres aspects d'ordre esthétique qui sont directe ou indirectement liés à ce sujet. O Cabeleira (1876), O Matuto (1878) e Lourenço (1881) sont les oeuvres les plus bien reçues dans l'ensemble de la réception critique de l'auteur, concernant le caractère polémique, l'importance culturelle et thématique et l'innovation générique qui les caractérisent. Un des points les plus polémiques et discordants est la question historique présente dans ces oeuvres-là: plusieurs critiques jugent de façon négative le recours au passé dans la construction du processus énonciatif des oeuvres étudiées, notamment par rapport au projet esthétique de l'auteur. C'est pourquoi quelques chercheurs considèrent ses oeuvres comme documentales; d'autres, par contre, les envisagent en tant que romans historiques, ce qui se donne, la plupart de fois, de façon quelque peu péjorative. On sait néanmoins que l'Histoire et la Littérature sont aujourd'hui vues comme des structures discursives complémentaires. Notre étude est donc une proposition d'approfondissement de la recherche déjà réalisée sur l'état de l'art de la production tavorienne tout en abordant directement l'oeuvre de l'écrivain et ayant le but de contribuer avec les recherches sur l'auteur. / Mestre

O principal objetivo é mostrar em que medida o autor se vale da cultura popular, das memórias e da cor local nortistas como instrumentos para fundar história e literatura nacionais. Nesta perspectiva, apresentamos as principais discussões sobre folclore e nacionalidade, as idéias fundamentais da Escola de Recife e a interação do romancista com o pensamento da ¿geração de 70¿ do século XIX. Além de focalizar a trajetória intelectual do escritor, examinamos o seu conhecido embate com José de Alencar, travado nas Cartas a Cincinato, e os métodos de composição que foram sendo sedimentados na sua prosa de ficção, ao longo de suas críticas e no seu projeto literário. Por fim, apresentamos as análises dos cinco romances da Literatura do Norte: O Cabeleira, O Matuto, Lourenço, Um Casamento no arrabalde e O Sacrifício / Abstract: This thesis intends to investigate the literary project of Franklin Távora, that he called by Literatura do Norte.

This dissertation makes the argument that the Franklin Roosevelt administration (1933-1945) embarked upon a global hegemonic project to transform the United States into a world empire and bring about the "New World Order." In addition, the expansion of U.S. commercial and military air routes was seen as instrumental to the realization of this project.

The subject of this thesis is the Imperial Presidency. Arthur Schlesinger is the author of this term in the realm of Political Science. His book was a reaction to the gradual accretion of political power in the office of the President of the United States. Imperial Presidency is described by variables: a) The President overreaches his powers given to him by the Constitution of the USA; b) The President is not limited by other branches of power. The theories behind this thesis are called the unilateral action theory and the unitary presidency theory. After designating variables in the thesis we should be able to answer the question: "What kind of political behaviour describes imperial presidency?"

This Master thesis, U.S. and the Czechoslovak Crisis in 1938: Policy of Appeasement?, examines the policy of the United States in 1938 during the dispute between Czechoslovakia and Nazi Germany over the Sudeten German issue. This paper is a case study and it analyzes a diplomatic correspondence and public statements of key representatives of U.S. foreign policy in the period March to October 1938. The goal of the paper is to evaluate the U.S. policy towards the Czechoslovak crisis and to consider whether or not the U.S. policy could be labeled as a policy of appeasement. There are four chapters. The first chapter recapitulates U.S. foreign policy before 1938, briefly describes issues of appeasement and describes the Czechoslovak-U.S. relations before 1938. The second chapter deals with U.S. policy during the so-called May crisis. The third chapter focuses on U.S. policy during the Munich Conference. The fourth chapter analyzes attitudes and actions of U.S. representatives in the time of the Munich Conference.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Race and politics have played an important part in shaping the history of the United States, from the first arrival of African slaves in the early seventeenth century to the election of an African-American president in 2008. The Great Depression and the New Deal represent a period that was no exception to the influence of race and politics. After Franklin Roosevelt succeeded Herbert Hoover to the American presidency, there was much faith and hope expressed on the editorial pages of the Indianapolis Recorder that African Americans would be treated fairly under the New Deal. Hope began to wane when little political patronage was dispensed, in the form of government jobs, once the Democrats took office in 1933. As the first incarnation of the New Deal progressed, African Americans continued to experience prejudice, segregation, unfair wages, and generally a “raw deal.” But what was more, African-American women and men were not given a fair opportunity to ensure for themselves better political, social, and economic standing in the future. This struggle for full-fledged citizenship was further underscored when Congress failed to pass anti-lynching legislation in 1934 and 1935. The New Dealers, Franklin Roosevelt chief among them, did not seize the opportunity presented by the Great Depression to push for civil rights and social justice for African Americans. Their intent was not necessarily malicious. A more nuanced view of the issues shows that political expedience, and a measure of indifference, led the New Dealers to not treat civil rights as the pressing issue that it was. Roosevelt and the New Dealers believed that they faced the potential for significant resistance to their economic recovery program from Southern Democrats on Capitol Hill if they tried to interfere with race relations in the South. This thesis examines the first years of the Roosevelt Administration, roughly 1933 through 1936. This timeframe was carefully chosen because it was a period when the issues surrounding race and racism were brought to the fore. In the initial period of the New Deal we can see how Roosevelt met and failed to meet the expectations of African Americans. The prevailing view among the African American leadership in 1935, argued Harvard Sitkoff, was that the federal government had “betrayed [African Americans] under the New Deal.” Sitkoff referred to these “denunciations of the New Deal by blacks” as commonplace from 1933 to 1935. But beginning with the Second New Deal in the middle 1930s the criticism turned to applause.

M.A. / This study approaches a special area of comparative literature in English which has not been researched in any great detail to date. Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm, first published in 1883, had an Australian counterpart in Miles Franklin's My Brilliant Career, first published in 1901. Both novels stemmed from a deep-rooted discontent with Colonial society and, specifically, with the status of women in that society. Both these novelists were early Colonial writers whose works proved to be watersheds in the development of the literary output of their respective countries. Both novelists have a similar status in their respective literature, and their novels show many comparable attributes ...

This thesis is an attempt to render theatrically the establishment and eventual dissolution of the Federal Theatre Project, from the point of view of its appointed director Hallie Flanagan. Drawn from a variety of historical sources, including subjective first-person accounts and objective transcripts of congressional investigation testimony, the play approximates the structure of the Living Newspaper, a style of presentation adopted by the Federal Theatre Project. This thesis also includes an appendix, which details my playwriting process for this particular play, from initial concept through to production.
