I have written a novel as a prequel and parallel narrative to Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The accompanying critical commentary draws on psychoanalytic and feminist perspectives, interpreted for “the complexities of fin‐de‐siècle British society” (Kucich, 2007, p.35), and examines my novel alongside other adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde. Although my work may invite comparisons with Neo‐Victorian novels such as works by Sarah Waters, Michael Cox’s The Meaning of Night (2006) or Michel Faber’s The Crimson Petal and the White (2002), I would argue that it has more in common with Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) and Sophie Gee’s The Scandal of the Season (2008), both of which are prequels respectively to Jane Eyre and The Rape of the Lock. My research explores the potential origins of Jekyll’s decision to divide himself – the psychological roots of “his desire to reveal himself and his desire to conceal himself” (Laing, 1960, p.37). I have used this premise for both a psychoanalytic and a feminist perspective, drawing on the key works of Freud, specifically his writings on the unconscious and in relation to dreams, and Gilbert and Gubar’s seminal text The Madwoman in the Attic. The decision to use these texts as a framework was made using the rationale of two primary perspectives: Stevenson’s novel was inspired by a dream he had, which led me to Freud, whose theories fit so well with the manifestations of the Jekyll/Hyde personae, and whose analytic attention to sex and gender, with the argument that psychological and social forms of gender oppression cause a manufactured and oppressive role for women, is correlative with a feminist approach. Gilbert and Gubar’s critique analyses nineteenth century female writers, and it is my argument that Stevenson’s novel suggests that Jekyll’s rigid beliefs about his ‘other’ can be seen as both a resistance to the feminine within himself, and as an unconscious identification with women who felt suppressed in a patriarchal society and constrained by that society’s rigid gender expectations. This feature of late Victorian culture which Stevenson’s novel appears – on the surface ‐ to actively resist, is symbolised by the anonymous and one‐dimensional female characters within his novel, therefore this narrative motif is the starting point for my novel.

Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal, entre outubro de 2.005 a novembro de 2.006, incluindo estudantes de ambos os sexos, regularmente matriculados em diversos cursos dos períodos diurno e noturno e dos campi Barão Geraldo (Campinas) e Limeira, no qual foram analisadas respostas a um questionário anônimo, de autopreenchimento, aplicado em sala de aula, utilizando-se um tipo de amostra proporcional por áreas dos cursos de graduação. Foram utilizados instrumentos quantitativos para a avaliação de qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-Bref: World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment - forma abreviada), saúde mental (M.I.N.I.: Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview); uso de risco de álcool (AUDIT: The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test); e uso de outras substâncias psicoativas (questionário baseado no método do Centro Brasileiro de Informação sobre Drogas Psicotrópicas - CEBRID). Respostas quantitativas de estudantes brancos, negros e pardos foram comparadas por análise bivariada simples e respostas abertas de perguntas aplicadas apenas a negros/pardos foram estudadas por grupamentos temáticos. Seguiu-se um pareamento do banco de dados primário em dois subgrupos: "brancos" e "negros/pardos", estratificados de acordo com características socioeconômicas deste último e analisados tanto descritivamente quanto por testes não paramétricos (qui quadrado e Mann-Whitney) e modelos de regressão linear e logística (univariadas e multivariadas). O nível de significância adotado para a análise estatística foi de 5%. Resultados: 1.174 alunos foram incluídos no banco de dados primário (89,8% dos respondedores, sendo 1.001 brancos, 144 pardos e 29 negros) e 346 no banco secundário, pareado. Negros/pardos foram o grupo com mais desvantagens socioeconômicas, pior qualidade de vida e com diferenças internas em termos de assunção de identidade étnica ou racial, com negros referindo mais discriminação, porém demonstrando mais orgulho e exploração da cultura afro que pardos. Nos dois grupos, em conjunto, houve predomínio de alunos menores de 26 anos, do sexo feminino e provenientes de famílias de baixo e médio nível socioeconômico. Indicadores de possíveis transtornos mentais e relatos de experiências de discriminação foram frequentes, principalmente os ligados à aparência física e ao nível socioeconômico. Houve correlações entre determinadas características sociodemográficas, tipos referidos de discriminação e respectivas influências sobre qualidade de vida, grupamentos de queixas psicopatológicas e uso potencialmente de risco de substâncias psicoativas. Conclusões: Categorias de discriminação e características pessoais sugestivas de mais sentimentos de inferioridade se relacionaram predominantemente a queixas psicopatológicas afetivas, internalizadas, e a pior qualidade de vida, enquanto aquelas sugestivas de sentimentos de estar à parte da maioria, por características pessoais específicas, relacionaram-se mais a queixas ansiosas e a potencial uso de risco de álcool e de outras substâncias psicoativas / Abstract: Objectives: To research, on a sample of undergraduate students from the University of Campinas, if reports of different kinds of experiences of feeling discriminated can be related to worse indicators of quality of life and to psychopathological repercussions, identifying possible social, ethnic, demographic and cultural factors which can exert modulation on these perceptions. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with data collected from October 2,005 to November 2,006, including students of both genders, regularly enrolled in various courses of daytime and nighttime periods from the campuses of Barão Geraldo (Campinas) and Limeira, in which there were analyzed answers to an anonymous self-administered questionnaire, applied in the classroom. Sample was proportional to the areas of the courses. Quantitative instruments were used to assess quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref: abbreviated World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment), mental health (M.I.N.I.: Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview); potentially hazardous use of alcohol (AUDIT: The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), and use of other psychoactive substances (an inventory based on the method of the Brazilian Center for Information on Psychotropic Drugs - CEBRID). Quantitative answers of White, Black and Brown students were compared by simple bivariate analysis and open answers to questions applied only to Black/Brown students were analyzed by thematic groupings. Secondly, it was performed a sample pairing procedure, with two groups ("Whites" and "Blacks/Browns"), matched according to socioeconomic characteristics of the latter. Subsequent analysis consisted of descriptive frequencies, non-parametric tests (chi-square and Mann-Whitney) and linear and logistic regressions models (both univariate and multivariate). The level of significance for the statistical analysis was 5%. Results: 1,174 students were included in the initial sample (89.8% of the respondents: 1,001 Whites, 144 Browns and 29 Blacks), and 346 in the matched sample. Black/Brown students were the group with more socioeconomic disadvantages, less quality of life and with internal differences in terms of assumption of ethnic or racial identity, with Blacks reporting more discrimination, but showing more pride and exploration of Afro culture than Browns. Considering the two groups together, there was a predominance of under than 26 year-old students, females and individuals from families of low and middle socioeconomic income. Indicators of possible mental health disorders and experiences of discrimination were common, mostly those related to physical appearance and to socioeconomic status. There were correlations between certain social and demographic characteristics, specific reports of discrimination and influences on quality of life, on groups of psychological complaints and on potentially hazardous use of psychoactive substances. Conclusions: Categories of discrimination and personal characteristics suggestive of feelings of inferiority were mainly correlated to affective and internalized psychological complaints and to worse quality of life, while those suggestive of being apart from the mainstream, by specific personal characteristics, were more related to anxious complaints and potentially hazardous use of alcohol and other psychoactive substances / Mestrado / Saude da Criança e do Adolescente / Mestre em Ciências

This MA thesis deals with the masculine identity of the three main male characters of Chuck Palahniuk's early novels Fight Club, Survivor and Choke. It consists of two parts. The first theoretical part briefly explores anthropological and sociological notions of masculinity, with the focus on the manhood in the contemporary USA. As such it serves as the theoretical basis for the second part of literary interpretation. There the masculine identity of the three main characters is discussed. As all the three characters experience the same development of masculine identity, the interpretation advances along this progress. Its stages are identity crisis, turning to the traditional male strategies, rejecting those strategies and searching the basis of one's identity in a personal relationship.

This diploma thesis aims to depict the nature of identity formation in the main characters of two works of postcolonial literature, Hari Kunzru's The Impressionist and Anita Desai's Baumgartner's Bombay. The concept of identity is approached from two perspectives, the traditional and the postcolonial one. Apart from that, the reactions of the two characters to their identity crises are scrutinized. The goal of this thesis is to determine what consequences the extreme implementation of a fluid, therefore ideal postcolonial identity, and the fixed one, as its extreme opposite, might have upon human lives. Special attention is paid to the three terms crucial in the postcolonial theory, liminality, hybridity and mimicry and how they predetermine the characters of the two novels. The analysis shows that neither extreme approach proves to be viable or beneficial for the life of an individual.

Carson McCullers's neglected short stories "Sucker", "Like That", and "The Haunted Boy" depict stark adolescent crises. Her character analyses dramatize important elements of many theories of adolescent psychology. Each of these stories depicts what happens when something goes horribly wrong in the course of an already difficult stage of life. In "Sucker" two different stages of adolescent development collide. Pete and Sucker go through different psychological adjustments. The two boys discover the difficulties of adolescent romance, hero-worship, peer group formation and exclusion, and power reversal. The narrator in "Like That" struggles with her Peter-Pan complex as she witnesses her sister go through an adolescent romance. She despises - and fears - the changes that adolescence and adulthood bring to her life and her family. "The Haunted Boy" explores the struggles of Hugh as he deals with issues of adult imitation, lack of a strong male role model, peer loyalty, and emotional repression.

Le rapport de pouvoir qui régit les relations entre homme et femme engendre des inégalités qui sont la non-effectivité des droits des femmes, les stéréotypes ciblant souvent les femmes et les violences à l’égard des femmes. Ces inégalités notables en période normale ou de paix s’aggravent durant les crises sociopolitiques et de conflits armés où la violence sexospécifique est désormais érigée en arme de guerre pour détruire l’adversaire, son identité et son peuple. L’objectif de ces recherches est de relever les impacts, les enjeux du genre et de la réalité identitaire dans les crises et conflits tout comme dans le processus d’édification de la paix. A travers la vie sociopolitique du Togo et de la Côte d’Ivoire pris pour cas d’espèce, il s’agit d’observer la situation de crises et de conflits armés dans un pays, l’impact des appartenances identitaires et l’aggravation de l’inégalité du genre, puis relever les conséquences des crises et l’importance des femmes dont la négligence participe à l’échec des processus de paix, enfin viser la prise en compte des identités et du genre dans les processus de recherches de la paix. / The power dynamics that govern the relationship between man and woman creates inequalities that are the non-effectiveness of the rights of women, the stereotypes often associated to women as well as violence against them. These significant inequalities in normal times or peace times, worsen during the sociopolitical crises and armed conflicts where gender based violence (GBV) is now established as a weapon of war to destroy the opponent, its identity and its people. The objective of this research is to address the impacts, issues of gender and identity during crises and conflicts as well as during peacebuilding processes. Using the socio-political life of Togo and Côte d'Ivoire as case studies, the research seeks to observe the situation of crisis and armed conflict in a country, the impact of belonging to an identity, and the worsening of gender inequality and addresses the consequences of the crises and the importance of women whose negligence contributes to the failure of peace processes, and finally aims at the inclusion of identity and gender as important considerations in peacebuilding process.

By using a questionnaire with open and closed questions, this research had the objective of identifying how the process of identity negotiation was carried out by these teachers and finding out if their identities are being affected by the attributions they notice are made, nowadays, by the school and families. The analyses were made according to the social conceptions of Dubar (2005 e 2009) concerning to the professional identity. For data analyses, it was also used the contributions of other authors who discuss identity and teachers professionalization, such as Placco e Souza (2010), Roldão (1998 e 2007), Marcelo (2009), Shulman (1986), Sacristán (1991), Nóvoa (2000) e Libâneo (2007). According to the data analyses it was possible to identify that the teachers are confused in relation to the roles they need to perform due to the multiple attributions they believe are demanded by the families and the school. Moreover, it was possible to notice that they are passing through a moment o crises, although they do not literally say they are in crises. In this study, crisis is considered as a rupture of what the individuals used to believe to be their roles, however, nowadays it seems that those roles are no longer fulfilling families and schools expectations / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de investigar como as exigências que os professores percebem que lhes são feitas, pelas famílias e pela escola, afetam a sua identidade profissional. A pesquisa foi realizada com 26 professores que atuam em uma escola particular de Ensino Fundamental II, na cidade de São Paulo. Para a realização deste estudo, foi utilizado um questionário com perguntas fechadas e abertas, que visava identificar, por meio das respostas dos sujeitos, o seu processo de negociação identitária e se a sua identidade profissional estaria sendo afetada pelas atribuições que eles percebem que lhes são feitas, atualmente, pelos pais e pela escola. A pesquisa foi realizada segundo as concepções sociológicas de Dubar (2005 e 2009) sobre identidade profissional. Para a análise dos dados, também foram utilizadas contribuições de autores que discutem a temática da identidade e da profissionalidade docente, tais como Placco e Souza (2010), Roldão (1998 e 2007), Marcelo (2009), Shulman (1986), Sacristán (1991), Nóvoa (2000) e Libâneo (2007). Foi possível identificar, no conjunto de dados analisados, que os sujeitos encontram-se confusos quanto à sua função como professor, em decorrência das múltiplas atribuições que eles acreditam que lhes são postas. Além disso, é possível identificar que estão vivenciando um momento de crise de identidade, apesar de não se narrarem literalmente em crise. A crise é vista, neste estudo, como uma ruptura com aquilo que os sujeitos acreditavam ser o seu papel, papel este que hoje não aparenta ser o suficiente para atender às demandas das famílias e da escola

A partir de notícias veiculadas na mídia, relatos e entrevistas de indivíduos da instituição sobre a crise ocorrida, busca-se compreender os processos de identidade vividos pelos mesmos no período. Começando por um breve contexto histórico da instituição e da crise, a pesquisa passa a analisar as coerções externas e internas vividas no período, as relações de confiança e solidariedades entre os indivíduos, além de dar destaque a desconfiança como fator de aumento da complexidade nas relações entre os indivíduos, vinculando a isto a ideia de adesão instrumental ou adesão expressiva ao projeto institucional. Após, é tratado sobre liderança carismática em contraste com uma liderança baseada em estatutos na transição de gestão da instituição e como os indivíduos perceberam tal mudança. Por fim, na parte final, além de refletir sobre crise de identidade, a pesquisa aborda a questão da relação eu-outro e projetos, na medida em que o ser humano é um ser de projeto, visando mostrar que sempre se está em relação com outros indivíduos e que, portanto, os processos de identidade sempre ocorrem de forma relacional. No referencial teórico a pesquisa traz autores importantes como Max Weber, Norbert Elias, José Ivo Follmann, Nicklas Luhmann, Alberto Melucci, Gilberto Velho, entre outros. / This study reflects on the identity processes experienced during the restructuring of CELSP-ULBRA in the period from 2/2008 to 1/2014. News published by the media, reports and interviews with individuals from the institution regarding the crisis that took place are used to try and understand the identity processes that these people underwent. Starting off with a brief historical overview of the institution and the crisis, the study then examines external and internal coercion experienced during the period and relationships of trust and solidarity among individuals, in addition to focusing on mistrust, as a factor that heightened the complexity of the relationships between people, linking to this the idea of instrumental or significant support for the institutional project. Following this, it deals with charismatic leadership as opposed to normal leadership based on statutes during the management transition of the institution and how individuals viewed this change. In the final section, besides reflecting on the identity crisis, the study also addresses the issue of the relationship between I-other and projects, in the sense that human beings are active conscious beings, in order to demonstrate that they are always in relationship with other individuals and that identity processes always occur, therefore, in a relational manner. The theoretical framework is based on important authors such as Max Weber, Norbert Elias, José Ivo Follmann, Nicklas Luhmann, Alberto Melucci and Gilberto Velho, among others.

ABSTRACT Katirci, G&uuml / ldeniz M. S., Department of Political Science and Public Administration Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Okyayuz December 2006, 157 pages The main purpose of the thesis is to demonstrate whether or not the rapid rise and decline of radical nationalism between 1999 and 2002 elections may be related to an ideological identity crisis of the Nationalist Action Party. In this context, the focus will be on the transformation of the nationalist ideology, &ldquo / nationalisms&rdquo / in the Ottoman Empire, Kemalist/official nationalism, and transformation of Turkish nationalism to a political party ideology and its further transformation in Turkey. The reason for drawing such a framework is related to the fact that the developmental line of the nationalist phenomenon shows a three dimensional historical continuity line in influencing Turkish nationalism as a political party ideology. The possible ideological identity crisis in the NAP ideology, which has been visible between the 1999 and 2002 general elections, should be searched in the genetic categorical paradoxes and in the transformation of nationalism as a modern phenomenon, which have been influential upon all nationalism types emerged after it. The complex structure of the nationalist phenomenon, which started to be influential on the Ottoman Empire had influenced the developmental periods of &ldquo / nationalisms&rdquo / appeared in their original structure. Turkish nationalism, which had developed on the same line with Ottomanism, Islamism and Turkism, had inherited both the categorical paradoxes of nationalism and the emergence of &ldquo / original&rdquo / Turkish nationalism. Thus, Turkish nationalism, as a nation-state ideology, had been the carrier of these categorical inconsistencies, which had remained until the multi-party period and which were transformed to a political party ideology with the NAP in the 1960s. Therefore, throughout the thesis, the possible ideological identity crisis of the NAP ideology will be searched in its complex relation with the transformation history of political nationalism and its specific transformation in Turkey. At the end, the ideological statute of nationalism in the political spectrum will be questioned.
