No. of bitstreams: 1 FerreiraNeto_OrlandoMarcondes_M.pdf: 8803833 bytes, checksum: fcec9b367cb42fbc1db15bfed1e21483 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2002 / Resumo: " 'As coisas como elas são'. Moralidade política e social em William Godwin (1790-1800)" é um estudo a respeito do filósofo, romancista e ideólogo político William Godwin (1756-1836). A trajetória política de Godwin na década de 1790 é abordada tendo como referência a crítica às posições tradicionais da historiografia a seu respeito. Enquanto esta se recusa a atribuir a Godwin um caráter propriamente político e representativo no dito "debate político" da década de 1790, este estudo procura compreender o conteúdo propriamente político de sua atuação social. Para isso, investiga como Godwin pensa a ordem políticosocial na Inglaterra da década de 1790, tendo como fontes fundamentais seu tratado filosófico Investigação acerca dajustiça política (1793) e seu romance As coisas como elas são, ou as aventuras de Caleb Williams (1794). No romance Caleb Williams, Godwin se dirige à crítica política da moralidade privada. Segundo ele, em decorrência da perpetuação de uma ordem política fundada nos valores morais aristocráticos, as relações entre os indivíduos são marcadas pela violência, pela tirania e pelo sofrimento. Esta crítica revela seu caráter propriamente político por ser dirigida às instituições monárquicas e aristocráticas que, para ele, condicionam os indivíduos a alimentar os valores e sentimentos que conduzem as sociabilidades privadas a assumirem um caráter conflituoso e violento. Com sua crítica à ordem monárquica e aristocrática, Godwin revela os des~jos de uma fração das classes médias inglesas interessadas em reformar a moralidade da. nação e de universalizar seus códigos de conduta. Godwin defende as idéias burguesas de virtude e capacidade individual, ao invés da hereditariedade e do sangue nobre cultivados pela aristocracia. Godwin desempenha o papel de ideólogo burguês, que opera a reelaboração e difusão de valores mais aptos à consolidação da ordem capitalista na Inglaterra / Abstract: "'Things as they are'. Political and social morality in William Godwin (1790-1800)" is a study on the philosopher, writer and political ideologist William Godwin (1790-1800). Godwin's political role in 1790's is approached according to the criticism to the traditional historiography approaches about him. Whereas the latter refuses to attribute a properly political nature to Godwin, which is representative in the so-called 1790's "polítical debate", this study seeks to understand the proper1ypolitical content ofhis social actuation. To do so, it investigates how Godwin thinks of the political order in England in 1790, having as fundamental sources his philosophical treatise Political justice (1793) and his romance Things as they are or the adventures ofCaleb Williams (1794). In Caleb Williams Godwin addresses private morality's polítical criticism. According to him, due to a perpetuation of a polítical order founded on aristocratic moral values, re1ations among individuaIs are marked by violence, tyranny and suffering. Ris criticism reveals its proper1y polítical nature because it is addressed to British aristocratic and monarchical institutions. To him, they subject individuaIs to the conditioning of supporting values and feelings which makes private sociability to assume a conflicting and violent nature. With his criticism to the monarchical and aristocratic order, Godwin reveals the desires of a fraction of British middle classes interested in refonning nation's morality and universalising its behaviour codes. Godwin advocates bourgeois notions of virtue and individual capacity rather than that ones of heredity and noble blood maintained by aristocracy. Re reveals himself as a bourgeois ideologist that proceeds to a re-e1aboration and spread of values more suitable to the consolidation of the British capitalist order / Mestrado / Mestre em Filosofia

Earl a jeho králové: vyobrazení rodu Godwiovců v dobových pramenech / Earl and his kings: representation of Godwinsons in primal sources

Laučíková, Rebeka January 2018 (has links)
We can find many records concerning the Godwine family in primary sources of the period in between the reign of Knut the Great (1066) and William the Conqueror's famous conquest of British Isles (1066). Even though autors of the primal sources mention this noble house in conection with key political and war events of 11th. century, significance of Godwinson's is usualy suppressed at the expense of contemporary "pro-norman" theories, which are defending William the Concueror's rights to anglo-saxon throne. Main purpose of submited diploma thesis is to introduce reader to complex and truthfull image of how and why did Godwinson's bacame as powerfull as they were, and to show their influence and importance in history of "pre- norman" England.

"Betting on Saskatchewan" : Nationalism, Cultural Imperialism and the Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops

BYLSMA, MEGAN 21 December 2011 (has links)
The Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops from the 1950s to the 1970s were a series of professional workshops held in northern Saskatchewan, under the auspices of the University of Saskatchewan and Regina College, for the creation and advancement of a dynamic arts culture in the province and as a way for the individual artists there to overcome feelings of isolation from the Canadian cultural hubs. Throughout the course of the Workshops provincial and federal attitudes, and cultural policies and perspectives on cultural nation building exerted an overarching influence in the shaping of the Workshops. The Workshops drew the attention and support of many established celebrity U.S. artists and it is due to their presence and influence at the Workshops that it is possible to examine the provincial and national response to perceived U.S. cultural imperialism. The founding and maturity of the Workshops is a case study of the ways in which the politics of Canadian nationalism and the effects of U.S. cultural imperialism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries interacted to impact the growth and development of art communities across Canada. The Workshops serve as an example of the effects, on a regional art movement, of Canada’s relationship with the United States, and Canadian response to the perceived threat of cultural imperialism from the U.S. Because the Workshops were a microcosm of cultural production, involving artists who, aside from their participation at Emma Lake, were often fairly isolated from the ebb and flow of art currents inherent to larger cultural centers, the Workshops are also an important case study of the effects of national and provincial policy on the regional arts. The Workshops’ history reveals that ideas of nationalism, regionalism and continentalism can come together to have a profound and unique effect on the development of an art community. / Thesis (Master, Art History) -- Queen's University, 2011-12-20 17:29:24.88

Man in the Moone (Londres, 1638) : utopia, ciência e política no pensamento de Francis Godwin / Man in the Moone (London, 1638) : utopia, science and politics in the thought of Francis Godwin

Boa parte deles adveio da política pró-Espanha assumida pelos dois primeiros reis Stuart, Jaime I e Carlos I, que, entre outras ações, não apoiaram as classes protestantes nas suas empresas de comercialização e colonização de mercados no exterior, deixando a situação econômica do país negativa. Diante do iminente fenecimento do regime monárquico, da Igreja Anglicana alicerçada no sistema episcopal e de aliança ao Estado, do perigo da Inglaterra se tornar domínio espanhol, Francis Godwin compõe por volta de 1629, publicado seu texto em 1638, a ficção utópica "The Man in the Moone". Sumarizando todo o conflito religioso e os deslizes do governo dos primeiros Stuart que caracterizou a Inglaterra nos 40 primeiros anos do século XVII, o presente estudo objetivará mostrar que essa ficção do espanhol Domingo Gonsales na sua viagem à lua, na passagem pela fictícia ilha de Santa Helena e pela China ocupada por jesuítas, debatendo as teorias de Copérnico, Galileu, Gilbert e Kepler na área da astronomia, se pretendeu uma defesa e proteção da Igreja Anglicana e do regime monárquico Tudor que aliava a Igreja ao Estado e favorecia a economia. Através do exemplo disciplinado e inovador dos jesuítas em missão na China no início do século XVII, Godwin intentará advertir os confusos reis, que a saída para os conflitos internos e externos ingleses estava no livre desenvolvimento da ciência, do comércio, e, agora diferente dos jesuítas, numa política adversária à Espanha e à mentalidade medieval e obsoleta católica / Abstract: Some years before the outbreak of the English Revolution of 1640, testifying that in England the monarchy and the Puritans would control an allegedly republican regime, there were a series of errors that contribute to political conflicts that led to the Civil War. Most of them came from the pro-Spanish political assumed by the first two Stuart kings, James I and Charles I, who, among other things, did not support the Protestant classes in their trading enterprises and colonization of overseas markets, leaving the economic situation of the country negative. Faced with the imminent withering of the monarchy, the Anglican Episcopal Church founded on the alliance with the State, the danger of Britain becoming a Spanish colony, Francis Godwin composed around 1629 and his text published in 1638, the utopian fiction "The Man in the Moone". Summarizing all the religious conflict and glides early Stuart England that characterized the first 40 years of the seventeenth century, this study will aim to show that this fiction of Spanish Domingo Gonsales on your trip to the moon, in his passage by the fictional island of Santa Helena and China populated by Jesuits, debating the theories of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Gilbert in the field of astronomy, sought a defense and protection of the Anglican Church and the Tudor monarchy that allied the Church to the State and favored the economy. Through disciplined and innovative example of the Jesuit mission in China in the early seventeenth century, Godwin will bring and warn the confused kings, that the output for the English internal and external conflicts was the investment in science, commerce, and now different from the Jesuits, in opposition to Spain and the Catholic medieval mentality and obsolete policy / Mestrado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

Romantic posthumous life writing : inter-stitching genres and forms of mourning and commemoration

Chiou, Tim Yi-Chang January 2012 (has links)
Contemporary scholarship has seen increasing interest in the study of elegy. The present work attempts to elevate and expand discussions of death and survival beyond the ambit of elegy to a more genre-inclusive and ethically sensitive survey of Romantic posthumous life writings. Combining an ethic of remembrance founded on mutual fulfilment and reciprocal care with the Romantic tendency to hybridise different genres of mourning and commemoration, the study re- conceives 'posthumous life' as the 'inexhaustible' product of endless collaboration between the dead, the dying and the living. This thesis looks to the philosophical meditations of Francis Bacon, John Locke and Emmanuel Levinas for an ethical framework of human protection, fulfilment and preservation. In an effort to locate the origin of posthumous life writing, the first chapter examines the philosophical context in which different genres and media of commemoration emerged in the eighteenth century. Accordingly, it will commence with a survey of Enlightenment attitudes toward posthumous sympathy and the threat of death. The second part of the chapter turns to the tangled histories of epitaph, biography, portraiture, sepulchre and elegy in the writings of Samuel Johnson, Henry Kett, Vicesimus Knox, William Godwin and William Wordsworth. The Romantic culture of mourning and commemoration inherits the intellectual and generic legacies of the Enlightenment. Hence, Chapter Two will try to uncover the complex generic and formal crossovers between epitaph, extempore, effusion, elegy and biography in Wordsworth's 'Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg' (1835-7) and his 'Epitaph' (1835-7) for Charles Lamb. However, the chapter also recognises the ethical repercussions of Wordsworth's inadequate, even mortifying, treatment of a fellow woman writer in his otherwise successful expression of ethical remembrance. To address the problem of gender in Romantic memorialisation, Chapter Three will take a close look at Letitia Elizabeth Landon' s reply to Wordsworth's incompetent defence of Felicia Hemans. Mediating the ambitions and anxieties of her subject, as well as her public image and private pain, 'Felicia Hemans' (1838) is an audacious composite of autograph, epitaph, elegy, corrective biography and visual portraiture. The two closing chapters respond to Thomas Carlyle's outspoken confidence in 'Portraits and Letters' as indispensable aids to biographies. Chapter Four identifies a tentative connection between the aesthetic of visual portraiture and the ethic of life writing. To demonstrate the convergence of both artistic and humane principles, this cross-media analysis will first evaluate Sir Joshua Reynolds's memoirs of his deceased friends. Then, it will compare Wordsworth's and Hemans's verse reflections on the commemorative power and limitation of iconography. The last chapter assesses the role of private correspondence in the continuation of familiar relation and reciprocal support. Landon's dramatic enactment of a 'feminine Robinson Crusoe' in her letters from Africa urges the unbroken offering of service and remembrance to a fallen friend through posthumous correspondence. The concluding section will consider the ethical implications for the belated memorials and services furnished by friends and colleagues in the wake of her death.
