Mais especificamente, pretende estabelecer uma comparação entre as trajetórias dos futebolistas Garrincha e Pelé, retratadas nas referidas obras, e a estrutura da Jornada do Herói de Joseph Campbell, um dos mais renomados estudiosos da mitologia universal. As reflexões propostas visam analisar a possibilidade de enquadramento do atleta no âmbito do mito, o que se dá pela verificação da passagem dos protagonistas pelo núcleo Separação–Iniciação–Retorno do monomito, percurso padrão da aventura mitológica do herói, uma figura predestinada a superar desafios e a realizar feitos grandiosos. / In the face of the media's attribution to sports idols, giving them mythological aspects that transform them into heroes, courageous enough figures to enter the world of adventure, overcome challenges and win gifts in favor of society, the present study aims to analyze the narratives present in the documentaries "Garrincha, hero of the Jungle" (1963, directed by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade) and "This is Pelé" (1974, directed by Luiz Carlos Barreto and Eduardo Escorel). More specifically, it intends to compare the trajectories of the soccer players Garrincha and Pelé, portrayed in the mentioned works, and the structure of the Hero’s Journey of Joseph Campbell, one of the most renowned scholars of universal mythology. The proposed reflections aim to analyze the possibility of framing the athlete within the scope of the myth, which is verified by the verification of the protagonists' passage through the nucleus Separation-Initiation-Return of the monomyth, standard route of the mythological adventure of the hero, a predestined figure to overcome challenges and to perform great deeds.

This thesis presents and analyzes the author's original jazz composition "A Hero's Journey," based on the ancient and widespread storytelling pattern that Joseph Campbell called the "monomyth." Using major concepts from the monomyth, the author composed a suite for ten-piece jazz orchestra consisting of six scenes divided into two acts. Although rooted in the jazz tradition, the piece borrows freely from classical music, African music, Indian music, and modern rock and hip-hop to create an adventurous and continually evolving musical experience. This thesis first provides an overview of the entire suite, then discusses its important melodic themes, and finally analyzes the techniques used for harmonic development within the piece. / text

No Brasil, muitas crianças e jovens têm a oportunidade de conhecer diferentes modalidades esportivas. Por vezes esse contato desperta um encanto pelo esporte, sendo a ele dada uma importância e um significado tão grande que faz com que eles prefiram-no às atividades comuns para outras pessoas da mesma idade, como brincadeiras, convívio familiar ou escolar. Em busca de melhores condições de treinamento e desenvolvimento, esses futuros atletas, muitas vezes tem que se distanciar de seu núcleo familiar ainda de forma precoce. Este trabalho buscou investigar como as mulheres olímpicas brasileiras, medalhistas de modalidades coletivas, reconhecem o momento que marca o início de sua especialização esportiva, exclusivamente aquelas que em sua história consta a marca do distanciamento familiar e da saída de casa. A metodologia do trabalho se ancora nas narrativas biográficas, considerada uma modalidade de história oral. Para tanto, a partir das narrativas biográficas, relacionamos esta marca do início com a figura mítica de Kairós, o deus do tempo oportuno / In Brazil, many children have the opportunity to learn about different sports. This contact often awakens an attraction for it practice and it\'s given a great importance that makes them choose sport over others activities common to other people of the same age, such as child\'s plays, family and school contact. As they search for better conditions for sport development, these new athletes often have to distance themselves from their family at an early age. This work sought to investigate how Brazilian Olympic women, medalists of collective modalities, recognized the moment that marks the beginning of hers sporting career, especially those athletes that had to leave their homes. The methodology is anchored in the biographical narratives, considered a modality of oral history. From the biographical narratives of these women, we relate the beginning of the their sporting careers with the mythical figure of Kairos, the god of opportune time

O presente trabalho propõe a análise da trajetória do protagonista do mangá Angel Sanctuary, da autora Yuki Kaori, publicado originalmente no Japão entre 1994 e 2000, sob a luz da jornada do herói de Joseph Campbell, a fim de traçar seu perfil como herói japonês contemporâneo de mangá. Propõe-se juntamente a análise do diálogo da obra com a mitologia judaico-cristã, principal fonte de inspiração e referências da autora para a confecção de sua história. Para tanto, é feita uma apresentação dos elementos próprios das histórias em quadrinhos e da jornada do herói, para que depois sejam aplicadas ao mangá Angel Sanctuary, no qual são apontadas as etapas da jornada e seus arquétipos, assim como suas relações com as mitologias nas quais são baseados. A análise aponta para uma diferença entre o pensamento tipicamente japonês, que tende a encarar com naturalidade a presença de forças opostas num mesmo ser e na natureza, em contraste com a forte separação entre Bem e Mal presente nas religiões judaico-cristãs. / This dissertation thesis proposes the analysis of the trajectory of the manga Angel Sanctuarys protagonist, from author Yuki Kaori, originally published in Japan between 1994 and 2000, considering Joseph Campbells Heros Journey, in order to trace his profile as a contemporary Japanese manga hero. It also proposes the analysis of the mangas dialog with the Judeo-Christian mythology, main source of the authors inspiration and references for the confection of her story. To do so, the characteristic elements of comic books and the Heros Journey are presented, so that they can be applied to Angel Sanctuary, in which the journeys steps and archetypes are indicated, as well as their relations to the mythologies in which they are based. The analysis points to a difference between typical Japanese thinking, that tends to face the presence of opposing forces inside a single being and in nature with naturality, in contrast with the well-defined separation between Good and Evil existent in Judeo-Christian religions.

A ideia de circularidade, de unidade e de renovação cíclica é um tema frequente nas obras de Caio Fernando Abreu e configura uma estrutura narrativa com o mesmo padrão. Tal estrutura, que reproduz o ciclo da vida, está refletida nos textos ficcionais, ao narrar a história de um personagem-protagonista, da transição da infância para a adolescência até a maturidade. Este trabalho propõe que o conjunto da obra ficcional do escritor pode ser lido como uma unidade narrativa cujo enredo é a trajetória de um personagem na formação de sua individualidade, de sua consciência e de sua vocação literária. Ao enfocar o indivíduo, com as suas experiências, encontros e desencontros, dramas e alegrias, o escritor compõe uma radiografia emocional do humano de seu tempo, em um período de quase quatro décadas. Além das questões expostas, e por elas, intenta destacar a relevância, a atualidade e a qualidade da obra de Caio, por abordar temas universais e perenes que ultrapassam aquele momento histórico e por seu estilo original e refinado no trabalho da palavra. O Autor fez sua passagem em 1996 e seus livros continuam sendo reeditados, inclusive com material inédito, e novas traduções de suas obras estão sendo publicadas, assim como e-books, no Brasil e no exterior. O fato de conquistar tantos leitores jovens do século XXI confirma a vitalidade da obra deste mestre de engenho e arte. Para investigar e descrever as maneiras como a unidade narrativa é realizada, os referenciais teóricos são os ensaios de Ricardo Piglia, as conferências e palestras de Jorge Luis Borges, as teorias do Romance de Formação ou Bildungsroman, as pesquisas de Joseph Campbell relacionadas à Jornada do herói ou Monomito e outros estudos complementares. / The idea of circularity, of unity and cyclical renewal is a frequent theme in the works of Caio Fernando Abreu and sets up a narrative structure with the same pattern. This structure, which reproduces the cycle of life, is reflected in fictional texts narrating the story of a character-protagonist, since the transition from childhood to adolescence and until maturity. This work proposes that the set of the writer's fictional work can be read as a narrative unity which plot is the trajectory of a character in the formation of his individuality, his conscience and his literary vocation. By focusing on the individual, their experiences, encounters and disagreements, dramas and joys, he composes a human emotional radiography of his time in a period of nearly four decades. In addition to the issues exposed, and for them as well, the study intends to highlight the relevance, timeliness and quality of Caio's work, by addressing universal and perennial themes that transcend his historical moment and for his unique and refined style in the art of writing. The Author has passed away in 1996 and his books continue to be reissued, including unreleased material, new translations of his books are being published, as well as e-books, in Brazil and abroad. The fact that he has been conquering so many young readers of the XXI century attests to the vitality of the work of this master of ingenuity and art. To investigate and describe the ways in which the narrative unity is performed, the theoretical background are the essays by Ricardo Piglia, conferences and lectures by Jorge Luis Borges, theories of Novel of Formation or Bildungsroman, Joseph Campbell's research on The Hero's Journey or Monomyth and other additional studies.

Few can claim to have never heard of Abraham or Gilgamesh. In terms of renown, the two are so rooted in our cultural awareness that it is highly unlikely that they will ever be truly forgotten. But whilst there have been many publication analyzing one or the other, few have ever attempted a side by side comparison of the duo. Therefore we shall not focus on introducing both characters, but try to see where their key differences lie. Since a complete comparison of every individual motive would be too broad for the purpose of this work, we are going to focus on three particular concepts: the hero's journey, immortality and relations to the divine. The first of these is also a brief introduction of the concept itself, since along with its author Joseph Campbell, it is a rather obscure topic on czech academic grounds. The second and third concepts are closer to an analysis of the cultural and religious settings and norms relevant for the authors of both texts.

abstract: This document analyzes the use of the Principles of Design within the applied project It’s My Party, a multimedia dance theatre production, as a means to address and overcome the stigmatization of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Through the orchestration of dance, music, props, acting, video, and spoken word, this interdisciplinary work investigates how these production elements synthesize into a transformative theatrical experience for audiences. Outlined in this document is the eight month design process. The process included concept design, assessing, processing, customizing the message, script development, rehearsals, and video production, and concluded with an evening length production. Analyzed through the structural narrative of The Hero’s Journey, this autobiographic work details the author’s HIV-positive (HIV+) coming out story from a restorative narrative perspective. By addressing the subject of HIV from a contemporary point-of-view, this project strives to reencode the troubling associations affiliated with HIV with an empowered and hopeful understanding. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2016
