A intenção deste trabalho é efetuar uma leitura do romance O Mensageiro, do autor inglês L.P. Hartley, na forma de uma jornada ao país estrangeiro do passado do protagonista-narrador. Tal leitura é uma espécie de convite aceito para a viagem, que esteticamente deixa sugestões sob a forma de truques, fragmentos de mensagens veladas, expressões ambíguas, sombras, vazios no caminho. Todavia, Mercúrio, o mensageiro dos antigos deuses, o protetor dos viajantes, o trapaceiro, é agora um ser indistinto, cuja imagem e função passou por grandes transformações ao longo da viagem até a modernidade. Guerras, restos de experiências traumáticas coletivas e pessoais são recuperadas na rota movediça do narrador melancólico, sob a forma de substância própria para a narração. Nietzsche e Walter Benjamin são companheiros na trajetória, provendo o suporte teórico básico para a viagem. / The intention of the present work is to make a reading of the novel The Go- Between, by the British writer, L.P. Hartley, in the form of a journey through the strange country of the protagonist/ narrator´s own past. Such reading comes as an accepted invitation to make the trip together with the narrator, who aesthetically leaves suggestions under the form of tricks, fragments of veiled messages, ambiguous expressions, shadows, gaps on his way. However, Mercury, the messenger of the ancient Gods – the protector of the travelers, the trickster is now is an indistinct being, whose image and function has undergone great transformations during the journey until modern times. Wars, remains of traumatic collective and personal experiences, are visualized in form of substantial fragmented material proper for narrative throughout the unstable route of the melancholy protagonist. Nietzsche and Walter Benjamin provide the basic theoretical support throughout the route.

Os algoritmos FFT são baseados em uma expansão em série matricial de Laurent da matriz de transformação da DFT de comprimento N ≡ 4(mod 8). A complexidade multiplicativa destes apresenta um ganho em relação aos algoritmos Cooley-Tukey base-2 e base-4. Os algoritmos FHT são baseados na expansão da matriz de transformação da DHT de comprimento N ≡ 0(mod 4). Estes algoritmos rápidos apresentaram um melhor desempenho que algoritmos conhecidos para computação da DHT. Além disso, são apresentados algoritmos ótimos, ou seja, de complexidade multiplicativa mínima, para esta transformada, para os comprimentos N = 8, 12, 16 e 24. Uma implementação em FPGA de um dispositivo que calcula as duas transformadas é apresentado; o dispositivo utilizado para implementar o projeto foi um Xilinx Spartan 3E.

Homoerotic images date back as early as 800 BCE in Persian art. Examples of homoeroticism in the arts continue in the works of the Greeks and Romans. A sharp decline in the subject coincided with the rise of Christianity and the demonization of homosexuality in Europe between 300-1000 CE. This notion of homosexuality as depraved and sinful behavior became embedded in European culture for over a millennium, and some parts of the world still believe this to be true. Criminalization of homosexuality forced most homosexual artists to hide any references to their own sexuality in their works, a practice known as “encoding,” which allowed for symbols to be hidden “in plain sight” and without context. Among the most prominent mainstream artists to utilize homosexual coding in his work was the modern American artist Marsden Hartley. Through the hidden symbols in the 1914-1915 “War Images” of his “Amerika” series, Hartley expressed his grief for his likely lover Karl van Freyberg, who had passed away following the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. Following in the footsteps of Hartley queer artists working in later generations utilized similar methods of encoding to express their sexuality in a guarded fashion. Operating in the 1950s and 60s, the artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns used varying methods of encoding to disguise references to their sexuality in their work. Such encoding would become a major theme of the “queer aesthetic,” where queer artists encoded symbols through semiotic methods such as floating or dual signifiers to convey their homosexuality in a covert way. In pioneering the concept of encoding, Marsden Hartley gave several generations of artists a means of expressing their sexuality in their works without being fully “out of the closet,” or revealing their sexual identity. / Art History

Ignorance of the basic principles of music reading was one of the primary obstacles to the improvement of congregational singing in nineteenth-century America. Six separate numeral notation systems arose to provide a simple way for the common man to learn the basic principles of music. Hartley Day developed his own numeral notation system and published six tune-books that enjoyed modest success in the New England area. This thesis examines Day's numeral notation system as it appeared in the Boston Numeral Harmony (1845), and the One-Line Psalmist (1849). It also studies Day's periodical, The Musical Visitor, in which he continually attacked Lowell Mason, possibly leading to Mason's dismissal as Superintendent of Music of Boston's public schools.

Members of the Gitga’at First Nation are committed to supporting the ecological integrity of their territory, as well as the vitality of their community and way of life, through carefully selected and implemented local development initiatives. This case study focuses on community member perspectives on ecologically supported cultural tourism. The first objective was to describe aspects of the local context shaping perspectives on tourism development. The second objective was to synthesise perspectives on the appropriate use of resources and on the appropriate application and sharing of local and elders’ knowledge for tourism. The third objective sought to identify services and linkages with other institutions considered important for a business aligned with local development priorities. There is potential for eco-cultural tourism to support local needs and interests if its development is directed and controlled by the Gitga’at and is based on a process of deliberation within the community.
