Fragments of life found in different movements of escape from captivity, were related to the intricate web of social, power, economic and cultural relations in which slaves were bound. Slaves were the least privileged class social in a excluding social structure, and escaping was a way to redefine captivity. In the period 1850-1870, when there were no laws for emancipation and a few master granted manumissions, many escaped, pressing radically. From 1870, when it was created laws and funds to emancipation, especially the 28th September 1871 Law that freed those born from that date lead to a decrease of escapes. Through hard work, the women slaves (far beyond the men slaves) sought, through legal ways, freedom. Thus, retained autonomy from the old masters, without necessarily breaking relations. In exchange for protection, shelter and education to the "naive", allowed the continued use of child labor. In baptism, chose as godparents to their children the family members of masters and public figures. It was fictitious kinship networks that was used to protect their children from a precarious freedom. In this context, passed away to be a very effective strategy to redefine the conditions of live by himself . / O presente trabalho analisa as fugas escravas no Amazonas da segunda metade do século XIX. Os fragmentos de vida encontrados, em diferentes movimentos de fuga do cativeiro, foram relacionados as intricadas relações sociais, de poder, econômicas e culturais vivenciadas pelos escravizados que, localizados nas camadas mais baixas de uma estrutura hierarquizada e excludente, fugiam e redefiniam o cativeiro. No período de 1850-1870, quando não existiam leis emancipacionistas e raros senhores concediam alforrias, muitos fugiram, pressionando de forma radical. A partir de 1870, quando se criaram leis e fundos para emancipação, em especial a Lei de 28 de Setembro de 1871 que libertou os nascidos desde então, as fugas diminuíram. Através do trabalho árduo, as escravas (bem mais que os homens) buscaram, por vias legais, a liberdade. Com isso, mantinham a autonomia frente aos antigos senhores, sem necessariamente romper relações. Em troca de proteção, abrigo e instrução aos ingênuos , permitiam a continuidade do uso do trabalho das crianças. Nos batizados, escolhiam como padrinhos de seus filhos os familiares dos senhores ou figuras públicas. Eram redes de parentesco fictício que protegiam os filhos de uma liberdade precária. Nesse contexto, fugir passava a ser uma estratégia pouco eficaz de redefinir as condições de viver sobre si.

When Francis Troutman attempted to recapture the Crosswhites, a family of runaway slaves that found a home in Marshall, Michigan, he did not anticipate that a sizeable amount of the community would rebuke him. The event, known as the Crosswhite Affair, placed the runaway family at the heart of the sectional battle over slavery. Troutman’s failed recapture set in motion a chain of events that eventually ended with the passing of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, a law despised by many, particularly in the North. It allowed slave catching to become widespread and forced American citizens to actively participate in recapturing runaways or face severe penalties. By connecting the Crosswhite Affair to the passing of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, this dissertation asserts that the plight of runaways forced many Americans to confront slavery, especially when slave hunters prowled the North in search of these freedom seekers. / History

Os critérios definidores da historicidade e tradicionalidade dos textos residem na repetição e evocação de expressões que adquirem valor de signos próprios, princípios que fundamentam a noção de TD. O arcabouço teórico está ancorado nos pressupostos das TDs, a partir das considerações de Coseriu (1979, 1980), Schlieben-Langue (1983), Koch (1997, 2008), Oesterreicher (1994, 1996, 2006), Kabatek (2003, 2004, 2005, 2008), da teoria dos gêneros textuais com Bakhtin (2003) e Marcuschi (2002; 2008), que procuram compreender a constituição e o funcionamento do gênero na sociedade; a prática do jornalismo impresso e na história da imprensa no Brasil e em Pernambuco com Rizzini (1968), Sodré (1999), Pessoa (2002; 2006) e Barbosa (2010); a história social da escravidão no Brasil com Freyre (1967/2010; 2006), Schwarcz (1987) e Carvalho (2010); e nas análises linguístico-discursivas que se apoiam nos trabalhos de Oesterreicher (1994), Pessoa (2003) e Toral (2013). A metodologia consiste no método histórico e na abordagem quanti-qualitativa, pautada na análise estrutural, descritiva, interpretativa dos dados, e na pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. A investigação inicial reside na averiguação das TDs que permaneceram retoricamente situadas nos anúncios de fuga de escravos e quais delas mudaram e migraram para os anúncios de procurados. No entanto, o anúncio de fuga de escravos, como TD da cultura impressa, o jornal, mostra-se como produção de autores semicultos, i.e., de competência escrita restrita, que transportam traços da fala à elaboração textual. As análises evidenciaram que tais anúncios estão muito próximos do que Oesterreicher denominou de imediatez comunicativa, apresentando sintaxe truncada, ausência de pontuação ou pontuação inadequada e ausência de elementos sintáticos que contribuem com a ruptura no tópico discursivo, entre outros aspectos. As análises empreendidas não pretendem submeter os dados às exigências de uma teoria, mas de valorizar o jornal como fonte histórica, dos anúncios de fuga escravos (diacronia) e de procurados (sincronia) como TDs legítimas tanto para as análises linguísticas, quanto para a história social. Ao falarmos em repetição, evocação, atualização e tradição, acreditamos que uma língua particular, como o português brasileiro, é afetada pelos aspectos históricosociais e, em decorrência disso, há elementos tradicionais que se tornam imutáveis e outros que são vulneráveis a mudanças, favorecendo, dessa forma, a mudança linguística. / This research aims at analyzing the discursive traditions (DTs) “slaves escape ads” of newspapers from Recife, in the nineteenth century, and comparing them with those of today's wanted fugitives ads, identifying the constituent elements of both genders, in order to establish a link between innovation and conservation of DTs in texts. The defining criteria of historicity and traditionalism of the texts lie in repetition and evoking expressions that acquire value of own signs, principles underlying the notion of DT. The theoretical framework is anchored on the assumptions of the studies of DTs, from considerations of Coseriu (1979; 1980), Schlieben-Langue (1983), Koch (1997; 2008), Oesterreicher (1994; 1996; 2006), Kabatek (2003; 2004; 2005; 2008); the theory of genres with Bakhtin (2003) and Marcuschi (2002; 2008), by seeking to understand the constitution and functioning of the genre in society; the practice of print journalism in the history of the press in Brazil and Pernambuco with Rizzini (1968), Sodré (1999), Pessoa (2002; 2006) and Barbosa (2010); the social history of slavery in Brazil with Freyre (1967/2010; 2006), Schwarcz (1987) and Carvalho (2010); and the linguisticdiscursive analyses that support the work of Oesterreicher (1994), Pessoa (2003) and Toral (2013). The methodology consists of the historical method and the quantitative and qualitative approach, based on structural analysis, descriptive and interpretative data, and documentary and bibliographic research. The initial research is the investigation of DTs who remained rhetorically located in the slaves escape ads and which ones changed and migrated to the wanted ads. However, the announcement of slaves escape, as DT of print culture, the newspaper, is shown as production of semicultos (half-literate), i.e., authors with restricted writing competence, carrying traces of speech to textual written elaboration. Analyses show that such ads are very close to what Oesterreicher termed “communicative immediacy”, with truncated syntax, no punctuation or improper punctuation and absence of syntactic elements that contribute to the breakdown in the discursive topic, among others. The current analysis do not intend to submit the data to the demands of a theory, but to value the newspaper as a historical source of slaves escape advertisements (diachrony) and its transformation into wanted fugitives ads (synchrony) as legitimate DTs both for linguistic analysis, as for social history. When we talk about repetition, retrieval, update and tradition, we believe that a particular language, such as Brazilian Portuguese, is affected by sociohistorical aspects and, as a result, there are traditional elements that become immutable and others who are vulnerable to change, favoring thus the language change.

Inhalation risks on human health for hazardous air pollutants emitted from MACT I petroleum refining industry were determined using EPA HEM-3 Program. Methodology included compiling vertical and fugitive emissions from 2002 National Emissions Inventory for sources inside two facilities in Louisiana, 'Motiva Norco' and 'Valero St. Charles' refineries. Six cases were modeled applying EPA criteria, where cancer risks are 'low' if the probability is. 1/1, 000, 000, and non-cancer risks are harmful when hazard quotient is > 1. It was demonstrated that fugitive emissions have more impact on human health than the verticals because of their significant portion of the total refining emissions. HAPs can cause moderate adverse effects in humans living nearby refineries, as 113 people resulted in high risk of respiratory problems with Valero emissions, 4571 people resulted in 'moderate' risk of getting cancer with Motiva emissions, 2702 people with Valero emissions, and 11, 282 people with both refineries' emissions.

This thesis explores the origin and expression of dialectical thought in the life and writings of the American modernist Laura Riding. Within a biographical framework, I trace the steps by which it became the defining characteristic of her poetic, literary and critical works. A few have noted Riding's dialectical manner; none have appreciated its centrality. This is the first detailed study. An introductory outline of the origin and definition of dialectic provides a working theoretical context for the study that follows. Riding was born Laura Reichenthal in New York City, 1901. Her father, a Jewish émigré, was a committed activist for the left and included Riding in his campaigning at a very young age, immersing and educating her in the political and philosophical radicalism thriving in New York's Jewish communities of the era. There she internalised the revolutionary dialectics that would inform her aesthetic practice. Breaking with her father in her teens, she abandoned politics for literature. As Laura Riding - the name she adopted in 1927 and with which her literary writings continue to be associated - she moved to London and began collaborating with Robert Graves, relocating with him to Majorca in 1929. Producing poetry, fiction, criticism and experimental philosophico-literary works, she became a formidable presence within European literary modernism. Many aspects of her work are dialectical. Paradox, inversion and negation are perennial textual features. Key events in her life were also experienced as dialectical. Her insistence upon 'death' as an inverted sigil of unmediated vitality points toward a negatively dialectical mode of thought. In this regard, the theories of Theodor W. Adorno prove invaluable. Adorno provides a unique lexicon of terms - 'constitutive subjectivity', 'administered world', 'true object' - with which to draw out Riding's dialectical subtleties. Reading them alongside Adorno's negatively dialectical theory of modernist art and aesthetic praxis, certain aspects of Riding's writings are illuminated and, in some respects, they correspond. After a suicide attempt in 1929, Riding's perspective changed. Before it, her point of view was positioned within institutionally determined 'reality', and 'truth' beyond it was adumbrated by dialectical means. Afterwards, she believed herself transfigured: the embodiment of immediate, consciously apprehended noumenal objectivity. But the written word remained recalcitrant toward her attempts to inscribe this newfound positive 'truth'. This frustration contributed to her abandonment of poetry at the end of the 1930s. Re-emerging in the 1960s as Laura (Riding) Jackson, her disavowal of poetry and exploration of 'truth-potential' in language utilised dialectical approaches derived from her earlier experiences and writings.
