Em seguida a sua morte, Pé-de-Veludo transformou-se em milagreiro pelo imaginário popular, passando a receber visitas constantes em seu túmulo, sendo que no dia de finados é uma das sepulturas mais visitadas de Marília e região. Este fato se estende até nossos dias conforme os registros de diversos jornais locais e regionais. O presente estudo tem como principal pressuposto, então, analisar o perfil e a performance do ladrão mais popular de Marília e a transformação da figura de Pé-de-Veludo em mito pela população local. A pesquisa visa trabalhar a percepção social do medo e encantamento que essa personagem provocava em suas violações ao patrimônio alheio, bem como a importância nos meios de comunicação da época e no entendimento da vida e morte desse personagem mítico para a suposta corroboração do pressuposto já mencionado. Para isso, é crucial trabalhar com a memória popular mariliense, elencando as diversas estórias acerca da figura de Pé-de-Veludo / This essay of master degree is the result of the research about crime and about the personality of the most famous criminal of Marília and region by means of Guaracy Marques Pinto‟ story, known for Pé-de-Veludo, a criminal who praticted a lot of theft in the city of Marília; among 1958 and 1964, date which happened his death. Shortly after his death, Pé-de-Veludo was transformed by the popular imaginary in a miraculous person, receiving, since then, constant visit in his tomb; being his tomb, specially in november 2nd, one of the most visit in the Marília‟s cemetery. According to local and regional newspapers that time, this fact is being continued including the present day. The main aim of this essay is to analyse the personality and the performance of the most popular thief in the city of Marília, including his transformation in a myth by the local population. This research intends to focus about the simultaneous social perseption of fear and of fascination caused by Pé-de-Veludo and his responses like: break in the somebody else‟s property. Besides, this essay intends to focus about the importance of midia that time in this story and the comprehension about Pé-de-Veludo‟s life and death in order to corroborate all of this aims. For this, is fundamental to do a study about recollection, listing all Pé-de-Veludo‟ stories

En publiant ses Psaumes viratz (1565) et ses Poesias gasconas (1567), Pey de Garros (ca.1525-ca.1583) se fait l’inventeur d’une littérature « gasconne ». Quelques années plus tard, dans ses Essais (1580-1595), Montaigne (1553-1592) intègre la question du « gascon » à sa réflexion générale sur les langues et le langage. Ces deux auteurs, jusqu’à présent, ont été perçus dans deux cadres distincts, l’histoire de la littérature occitane et celle de la littérature française. La notion de « gascon » permet de décloisonner ces deux domaines. Par-delà la différence linguistique, qui oppose une écriture en occitan à une écriture en français, se dessine un imaginaire linguistique « gascon », qui émerge des textes et participe pleinement au sens que prend le discours littéraire. Pour pouvoir décrire cet imaginaire linguistique, une enquête est nécessaire, relevant de la sémantique historique, afin de comprendre ce que peut signifier, dans la seconde moitié du xvie siècle, une « langue » et son emploi littéraire. En découvrant les différents sens que prend le « gascon » pour ces deux auteurs, c’est tout un réseau de représentations, de figures et d’échos obsédants qui se dévoile. Alors que tout semblait les séparer, un imaginaire linguistique similaire relie les œuvres de Garros et de Montaigne, fait de prises de parole assumées et d’interrogations profondes sur les moyens de s’exprimer. Parallèlement, cette analyse en termes d’imaginaire linguistique éclaire la relation que crée l’œuvre avec son lecteur. Le pouvoir d’évocation de l’imaginaire linguistique de l’œuvre dépend de sa rencontre avec l’imaginaire linguistique propre au lecteur. C’est ainsi qu’un point de vue périphérique, par son attention à la question du « gascon », permet, dans un même geste, de lire les Psaumes viratz, les Poesias gasconas et les Essais. / When he published Psaumes viratz (1565) then Poesias gasconas (1567), Pey de Garros (ca.1525-ca.1583) invented the notion of a specifically “Gascon” literature. A few years later, in his Essays (1580-1595), Montaigne (1553-1592) took up the issue of the “Gascon language” in his general reflexion on language and languages. These two authors have hitherto been viewed as part of two different fields: the history of Occitan literature and the history of French literature. The notion of a “Gascon language” helps bridge the gap between these two fields. In spite of the linguistic difference between writing in Occitan and writing in French, a specifically “Gascon” linguistic imaginary emerges out of the texts, and gives literary discourse its full meaning. In order to give flesh to this linguistic imaginary, a study in historical semantics is necessary, so as to understand what a “language” and its literary uses might have meant in the second half of the 16th century. As the various meanings which the “Gascon language” has got for these two authors are examined, the whole network of representations, figures and echos which haunt the texts is uncovered. Although they seemed to have very little in common, the works of Garros and Montaigne are actually linked by a shared linguistic imaginary, consisting in both outspoken claims and deep reflections on means of expression. At the same time, the analysis of the linguistic imaginaries illuminates the relation established by the text with the readers. The power of the linguistic imaginary to elicit a response depends on how it fits in with the readers’ own linguistic imaginaries. This is why a peripheral viewpoint, drawing attention to the issue of the “Gascon language”, makes it possible to read Psaumes viratz, Poesias gasconas and the Essays together.

Este trabalho analisa a retórica presente nas capas da revista Mente e Cérebro, buscando repre-sentações sociais do cérebro recorrentes em revistas de divulgação científica. É um estudo de caso que descreve como o cérebro é apresentado na articula-ção simbólica que denominamos simbiose ima-gem/palavra no sentido de identificar as estratégias de convencimento a partir dos elementos simbólicos presentes nesta articulação, e não em função do va-lor de verdade discursiva. Procurou-se avaliar como o cérebro é representado para a sociedade e se ele se configura, no periódico, não apenas como um órgão do corpo, mas também como núcleo central do sujei-to humano, comandando suas emoções e controlan-do-lhe a saúde e o viver, podendo ser medicalizado e condicionado para maximizar a vida biológica. Pre-tendeu-se com esta análise, contribuir para o debate sobre o papel relevante das Biociências no imaginário social como dispositivo de produção de verdades so-bre a saúde, o adoecimento e na normatização da vida e do viver na sociedade contemporânea. / This paper analyzes the rhetoric on the covers of Mente e Cérebro Magazine (Brazilian version of Scientific American Mind magazine), to seek social representa-tions of brain on scientific publications. This study describes how the brain is present-ed in a symbolic articulation that we called symbiosis picture/word, to identify the persuasion strategies from the symbolic elements present in this joint, not according to value of truth in the discursive. Sought to evaluate how the brain is represented to society and if it is configured in this magazine chosen, not only as an organ of the body, but also as the core of the human subject, commanding emotions and con-trolling health and living, may be medicalized and conditioned to maximize the bio-logical life. It was intended contribute to the debate on the role of Biosciences in the social imaginary as truths producing device on health, illness and standardization of life and living in contemporary society. / Este trabajo analiza la retórica en portadas de ediciones brasileñas de la re-vista Mente y Cerebro, buscando las representaciones sociales del cerebro recurren-tes en las revistas de divulgación científica. Es un estudio de caso que describe có-mo se presenta el cerebro en la articulación simbólica que llamamos simbiosis ima-gen/palabra para identificar las estrategias de persuasión de los elementos simbóli-cos presentes en esta junta, y no según el valor de verdad discursiva. Buscamos eva-luar cómo se representa el cerebro para la sociedad y si este está configurado, en la revista, no sólo como un órgano del cuerpo, sino también como el núcleo central del sujeto humano, al mando de sus emociones y controlándole su salud y la vida, como puede ser medicalizado y acondicionado para maximizar la vida biológica. Se pretende con este análisis, contribuir al debate sobre el papel de Biociencias en el imaginario social como dispositivo de producción de verdades a respecto de la salud, de la enfermedad y de la normalización de la vida y del viver en la sociedad contemporánea.

A peça Doubt, a Parable (2004) de John Patrick Shanley revisita o mundo que ele conheceu quando criança – o bairro do Bronx dos anos 1960. A história se desenrola em uma comunidade escolar católica ítalo-irlandesa e o enredo diz respeito a uma dúvida – que se transforma em crença – por parte de uma das personagens, Irmã Aloysius, a diretora da escola. Ela acredita que o Padre Flynn esteja molestando sexualmente o único aluno negro da escola. A peça é uma construção em aberto, que permite a cada leitor/espectador construir sua própria interpretação dos fatos. Além de ser o autor da peça, Shanley também transformou seu texto teatral em roteiro para o cinema, e atuou como produtor da peça e roteirista e diretor do filme Dúvida, de 2008. Nesta dissertação examino as estratégias utilizadas por Shanley para manter a possibilidade de interpretação aberta quando ele traduz sua obra para mídias diferentes – na página, no palco, no cinema. Ao empreender tal análise, considero pertinente explorar padrões contemporâneos sobre questões como verdade, dúvida e certeza, porque as mesmas encontram-se imbricadas com o construto artístico examinado, favorecendo assim um olhar atento sobre o papel do autor e do leitor nesse processo. Para investigar as construções ideológicas que definem os elementos de dúvida e certeza, utilizo o conceito de Paradoxo do Imaginário, como proposto por Castor Bartolomé Ruiz (2003), dando especial atenção às questões relacionadas com o simbolismo da dúvida, tal como pode ser percebido na obra de Shanley. / John Patrick Shanley’s play Doubt - a Parable (2004) revisits the world he knew as a child, which is the Bronx of the 1960’s. The story centers upon a Catholic Irish-Italian school community, and the plot relates to a doubt - that grows into belief, and ends up as certainty - on the part of Sister Aloysius, the principal of the school, who is persuaded that Father Flynn, the vicar, has been harassing the only Black student in the school. The play is an open-ended construct, allowing each reader/spectator to build their own interpretation of the facts implied. Shanley is more than the author of the play. He has also worked as the producer of the play on the stage and he turned the story into a movie screenplay, Doubt, and has worked as a director to the movie. In this thesis I examine the strategies used by Shanley to keep the possibility of interpretation open as he translates his own work into different media, on the page, on the stage and on the screen. As I do that, I also consider the contemporary standards regarding issues as truth, doubt, certainty, especially as they constitute themselves aesthetically in the fictional world, thus reexamining the role of the author and the role of the reader in the process. So as to investigate the ideological constructions that define the elements of doubt and certainty I refer to the concept of “paradoxes of the imaginary” as proposed by Castor Bartolomé Ruiz (2003), with special attention to questions concerning the symbolism of doubt as perceived in Shanley.

Si le paparazzi est le parent pauvre de l’histoire de la photographie, il est une source précieuse d’inspiration pour la fiction cinématographique et télévisuelle. Personnage avant même d’apparaître à l’écran, le paparazzi instaure une tension à la fois narrative et visuelle qui autorise un questionnement sur ses modalités de représentations. À l’aide d’un corpus defilms et de séries télévisées occidental allant de 1940 à 2008, notre étude entend repérer et analyser les récurrences des représentations du paparazzi dans une approche socio-historique et culturelle. Séducteur, sauveur... chasseur, voleur ? Revenir sur l’imaginaire de l’appareil photographique et sur le caractère hybride de sa pratique permet de comprendre comment se construit l’image d’un « mauvais » photographe. Masse impersonnelle ou personnage principal du récit, mi-animal, mi-machine, les différentes formes que prend le paparazzi à l’écran révèlent et menacent l’humanité de la star. À l’heure où les chances d’accéder au statut de célébrité sont aussi fortes que les probabilités de « faire le paparazzi », la fiction révèle une lutte à mort dans laquelle chaque partie se bat pour une valeur devenue absolue : la visibilité. / Although the paparazzi is the poor relation in the history of photography, it is a precious source of inspiration for cinematographic and televisual fictions. Already a character before appearing on screen, the paparazzi establishes a tension, both narrative and visual, that encourages an exploration of its forms of representation. Supported by a collection of films and western television series, from 1940 to 2008, this work will identify and analyze the reoccuring ways in which the paparazzi is represented, from a socio-historical and cultural perspective. Seducer, savior… hunter, thief ? Returning to the imaginary world which surrounds the camera and the hybrid quality of its use allows one to understand how theimage of a « bad » photographer is built. Anonymous croud or main character in the story, half-animal, half-machine, the different faces of the paparazzi on screen both enlighten and threaten the star’s humanity. At a time when the chance of reaching celebrity status are as high as the odds of « acting like a paparazzi », works of fiction reveal a struggle to the deathin which each party fights for a new absolute value : visibility.

Le déséquilibre et le désordre du réel ont modifié chez l’homme baroque la vision de son être; leur présence écarte la gratuité de ses actes. Ses fascinations sont des indices révélateurs, ses rejets et ses attachements représentent des témoignages et des messages à déchiffrer. Notre étude essaie d’expliquer les raisons de la fascination de la génération baroque pour l’élément liquide à travers l’examen de l’imaginaire de ses aspects dans l’oeuvre baroque. L’imaginaire ou ce que Gilbert Durand appelle ‘’le capital pensé’’ de l’homme est une entité stratifiée dans la durée, plusieurs facteurs participent à sa structuration. Par conséquent, son examen exige une approche pluridisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire. Grâce aux sciences cognitives qui représentent la voie par laquelle passe l’avenir des recherches sur l’imaginaire selon Philippe Walter, la présente étude essaie d’éclairer l’Imaginaire baroque à travers l’examen de la valeur de l’élément de l’eau dans des textes publiés entre 1580 et 1640. Notre travail utilise quatre des six sciences cognitives qui sont désignées par Georges A. Miller et qui instaurent à travers leurs corrélations des domaines interdisciplinaires. Pour explorer les représentations de cet élément dans le texte baroque avec un objectif qui consiste à leur proposer des explications causales sont indispensablement mobilisées l’anthropologie, la philosophie, la psychologie, et la linguistique. L’imaginaire baroque est reconstitué dans notre recherche grâce aux 5 croisements établis entre les sciences précédentes et les disciplines de l’histoire de l’art, de la critique littéraire, du folklore, de l’ethnologie, de la mythologie, de la sociologie, et de l’histoire des religions. Notre travail examine l’un des aspects de la nature dans l’imaginaire baroque. A travers nos analyses, nous essayons de retracer l’être et l’existence de l’homme baroque grâce aux présences de l’un de leurs constituants dans l’oeuvre de ce dernier. L’élément de l’eau est ce constituant qui représente l’un des aspects de la nature. La problématique dans notre travail, est composée d’un volet qui porte sur la valeur de l’élément de l’eau dans l’oeuvre baroque. Il y a un second volet visant à prouver que l’examen de l’imaginaire représente un outil permettant de cerner les reliefs et les complexités d’un texte baroque et un texte ayant une structure similaire avec celle que possède ce dernier, c’est-à-dire une structure incohérente et non linéaire. Notre recherche aimerait proposer une lecture de l’imaginaire de la matière dans le texte baroque et dans le texte littéraire en général. Elle aimerait démontrer que l’examen distant et interactif des actes de l’homme aide à leur trouver des explications; et que l’examen de l’imaginaire d’une oeuvre qui représente un acte de l’imaginaire de l’homme, aide à cerner ses implicites, les raisons de sa création, et la psychologie qui a dominé les circonstances de sa production. / The imbalance and the chaos in which Baroque man lived, changed his vision of his entourage and at the same time they excluded the gratuitousness of his actions. His fascinations are messages to be deciphered, his rejections and attachments represent revealing clues and testimonials. Our study tries to explain the reasons of the fascination of the baroque generation for the liquid element through the examination of the imaginary of its aspects in the baroque work. The imaginary or what Gilbert Durand calls "thought capital" of man is a hybrid organism, several factors participate in its structuring therefore its examination requires an interdisciplinary approach. Through cognitive science, that represent the future of research on the imagination according to Philippe Walter, this study tries to illuminate the Baroque Imagination through the examination of the value the element of water in the works published between 1580 and 1640. Our work uses four of the six cognitive sciences which are designated by Georges A. Miller and which establish interdisciplinary fields through their correlations. To explore the representations of this element with the Anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and linguistics are indispensable to the objective of offering them causal explanations. The baroque imagination is reconstituted in our work by combining these sciences with the disciplines of the history of art, literary criticism, folklore, ethnology, mythology, sociology, and the history of religions. Our work examines one of the aspects of nature in the baroque work. Through our analyzes we try to trace the being and the existence of baroque man through the manifestations of one of their components in the work of the latter. The element of water which is this component and it represents one of the aspects of nature. The problematic in our work is composed of a component that deals with the value of the element of water in the baroque work. The second part aims to prove that the 7 examination of the imaginary represents a tool that helps to identify the reliefs of a baroque text and a text with a similar structure with the latter, that is to say an incoherent structure and complex. Our research proposes a reading for the imaginary of the material in the literary text. Our study would like to demonstrate that distant and interactive examination of human acts and his works serves to identify their explanations; and that the examination of the imaginary of a work which represents an act of the imaginary of man serves to identify its implicit and the reasons for its creation, and the psychology that dominated the circumstances of its production.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O objetivo deste trabalho à compreender como as culturas sexuais e culturas juvenis vivenciadas por alguns jovens homossexuais sÃo traduzidas no exercÃcio da prevenÃÃo do HIV/Aids. E de que forma seus direitos sÃo exercitados nesta perspectiva. E ainda, como determinadas polÃticas de prevenÃÃo tÃm considerado essas questÃes para levar adiante propostas de contenÃÃo da propagaÃÃo HIV, mais eficazes entre esses grupos, os quais, historicamente, tÃm sido os mais atingidos pela Aids. Para construir uma abordagem sobre esse processo, esta pesquisa traz um panorama geral sobre a epidemia de Aids no mundo e um breve histÃrico social dos percursos da doenÃa no Brasil. Aborda ainda alguns apontamentos sobre a polÃtica de controle e enfrentamento do HIV/Aids em Fortaleza, principalmente em relaÃÃo aos grupos gays e outros Homens que fazem Sexo com Homens. Para entender de que maneira o exercÃcio de prÃticas preventivas se relaciona com as experiÃncias desses jovens, procuro reconstruir, a partir de suas narrativas, roteiros sexuais que me permitam interpretar o modo como as identificaÃÃes que constroem de si, a sociabilidade e as prÃticas envolvem culturas juvenis e culturas sexuais para pensar as possibilidades que configuram sexualidades e polÃticas de prevenÃÃo do HIV/Aids / The aim of this study is to understand how certain trials related to the experience of sexuality for young gays, in Fortaleza - CearÃ, relate to the prevention of HIV/AIDS. To build an approach on this process, this research provides a general overview of the AIDS epidemic in the world and a brief social history of the pathways of the disease in Brazil. It also addresses some issues about the politics of control and counter of HIV/AIDS in Fortaleza, especially in relation to gay groups and other Men who have Sex with Men. To understand how the prevention of STD/HIV/AIDS relates to the experiences of homosexual youths, I try to rebuild from sexual scripts and narratives brought by several young people interviewed and heard, how the identification, sociability and practices involve juvenile and sexual cultures to think of the possibilities that shape certain trials of sexuality and prevention

Os livros da série Harry Potter tiveram seu primeiro volume publicado em 1997 e o último em 2007. Desde o princípio, a série passou a exercer um forte apelo sobre leitores de todas as idades e de todos os lugares. O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar esse fenômeno, a fim de identificar os motivos pelos quais a resposta às obras provou ser tão intensa. O corpus de investigação compreende os sete livros que formam a saga: Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal, Harry Potter e a Câmara Secreta, Harry Potter e o Prisioneiro de Azkaban, Harry Potter e o Cálice de Fogo, Harry Potter e a Ordem da Fênix, Harry Potter e o Enigma do Príncipe, e Harry Potter e as Relíquias da Morte. Os focos da análise se concentram em três aspectos: a jornada do herói; as diferentes formas de apresentação da ideia de morte; e o tratamento das dicotomias. Como suporte teórico, recorro a estudos sobre mitologia e imaginário, conforme tratados por Joseph Campbell; às considerações morais e estéticas de Umberto Eco sobre conexões entre os reinos vizinhos da Vida e da Literatura; e à abordagem filosófica de Zygmunt Bauman sobre nossos tempos líquidos contemporâneos. O trabalho está estruturado em duas partes. A primeira apresenta algumas hipóteses sobre a pronta aceitação da obra por parte do público leitor e expõe a base teórica sobre a qual se apoiam os arrazoados do trabalho, estabelecendo as conexões necessárias com os pontos investigados. A segunda parte contém minha leitura da série Harry Potter, centrada nos três itens propostos para análise. Ao final da dissertação, espero que minha análise possa contribuir para a discussão sobre o papel que a série Harry Potter desempenha no contexto contemporâneo e também sobre quais paradigmas atuais ela ratifica, questiona ou refuta. / The Harry Potter Books had their first instalment published in 1997 and the last in 2007. From the beginning, the series exerted a very strong appeal upon readers of all ages, and from all places. The aim of the present thesis is to investigate this phenomenon so as to identify some reasons why the response to the works has proved so intense. The corpus of investigation comprises the seven books that form the saga: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The focus of the analysis closes upon three aspects, the journey of the hero, the different approaches to death, and the treatment of dichotomies. As for critical and theoretical support I rely on studies about mythology and the imaginary, especially as presented by Joseph Campbell, on Umberto Eco‟s moral and aesthetic considerations about the connections between the neighbouring realms of Life and Literature, and on Zygmunt Bauman's philosophical approach to our liquid contemporary times. The work is divided into two parts. The first presents the necessary contextualization, poses some hypotheses about the prompt acceptance on the part of the reading public, and exposes the theoretic background on which this thesis is grounded, and establishes the necessary connections with the points investigated. The second part contains my reading of the Harry Potter Books, closing on the three items to be analysed. At the end of this argumentative thesis I hope my analysis may contribute to the discussion about the role the Harry Potter Books play in their contemporary context, and about which of the current paradigms they ratify, question or deny.

A presente tese de doutorado versa sobre encontros e aproximações de imaginários políticos e religiosos na Argentina, no Brasil e no Uruguai, Sobretudo, enfoca-se neste trabalho as imbricações existentes entre o campo político e o campo religioso por ocasião dos processos eleitorais ocorridos em Porto Alegre (BR), Buenos Aires (AR) e Montevidéu (UY), nos anos de 2008 e 2009. Utilizamos a ideia de um esquema tetraédrico conceitual (ETC) sobre o qual interagem três variáveis consideradas, quais sejam: as representações individuais e coletivas (RIC), a memória individual e coletiva (MIC) e os imaginários políticos e religiosos (IRP), que operam sobre um meio comum que denominamos como matriz cultural cisplatina (MCC). Neste sentido, para a realização do presente estudo utilizamos da etnografia multisituada e de inserções constantes em campo nas três cidades mencionadas, onde realizamos entrevistas com indivíduos ligados a diferentes expressões religiosas e tendências políticas. Interessou-nos apreender quais são os aportes comuns existentes nas três cidades e em que medida, estes, facilitam o processo de transnacionalização religiosa. Da mesma forma importa-nos considerar como religiões tidas como tipicamente brasileiras, ao atravessarem as fronteiras nacionais em direção ao Uruguai e a Argentina, levam consigo formas de ser e estar no político que nestes locais são reproduzidas no interior de redes de interação existentes entre pastores e pais-de-santo destes três países. / This thesis deals with encounters and approaches of political and religious imaginaries in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Especially, this work focuses on the imbrications between political and religious fields on the occasion of electoral processes that took place in Porto Alegre (BR), Buenos Aires (AR) and Montevideo (UY), in 2008 and 2009. Also, we use the idea of a tetrahedral conceptual scheme (ETC) in which three considered variables interact, namely: the individual and collective representations (RIC), the individual and collective memory (MIC) and the religious and political imaginaries (IRP) which operate on a common medium that we call as “cisplatin” cultural matrix (MCC). In this sense, for the accomplishment of the present study we use multi-situated ethnography and constant insertions in field in the three mentioned cities, where we carried on interviews with individuals connected to different religious expressions and political tends. We were interested in understanding what are the common inputs existing in the three cities and to what extent they facilitate the process of religious transnationalization. Similarly, we are concerned to consider how religions that are understood as typically Brazilian, taken as they cross national boundaries toward Uruguay and Argentina, carry with themselves ways of being in the political, which in this places are reproduced within the networks of interaction between “pastores” and “pais-de-santo” of these three countries.
