Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre o eu lírico oculto de uma seleção de poemas de Pau- Brasil, de Oswald de Andrade, sobre São Paulo e Minas Gerais. As análises tentam mostrar como a despersonalização e a extrema objetividade dos poemas se inserem em uma discussão acerca da perda do eu na lírica moderna europeia e como essa operação foi apreendida pela estética paubrasil, dentro do contexto de busca de uma identidade nacional encampada pelo Modernismo brasileiro. Ao mesmo tempo, as análises evidenciam a tentativa de elaboração mítica de São Paulo e Minas por meio desse sujeito oculto, que engendra objetivamente as paisagens paulista e mineira dos poemas. Percebe-se que o sujeito se denuncia segundo intensidades variadas de acordo com o grau de dificuldade de formulação do mito e que essa complexidade está relacionada aos momentos históricos das duas regiões: o auge do café e a decadência do ouro. / The present work is a research into the elliptical subject of selected poems regarding São Paulo and Minas Gerais, from the book Pau-Brasil, by Oswald de Andrade. The analysis attempts to demonstrate how the poems absence of subjectiveness and acute objectiveness inserts itself into the debate concerning the impersonality in the modern European poetry. It also studies how this procedure is apprehended by the pau-brasil aesthetic, taking into account Brazilian Modernisms search of a national identity. Simultaneously, the study verifies the absent selfs effort to elaborate São Paulos and Minas landscapes in the poems as myths. The subject reveals itself in a nuanced fashion that varies according to the difficulty that involves the myth creation, and the referred complexity refers to the historic moments of both regions in the 1920s: the increasing in the coffee exportation and the decadence of the gold mining.

Crime and Punishment in the Eyes of Cesare Beccaria An Analysis of an Enlightenment Penal Law Reform The Ph.D. dissertation is centred around a relatively concise, but extremely influential book: Cesare Beccaria's treatise On Crimes and Punishments (Dei delitti e delle pene). This work, first published in 1764, sums up in a clear, yet intellectually penetrating way all the main Enlightenment principles of a complex penal law reform. In its time, the book was not only of great philosophical importance and it not only changed the way western societies perceived crime and punishment, but it also served as a concrete guideline for various penal law reformers. It is therefore by no means an overstatement to say that it caused a true paradigm shift in both legal and moral philosophy. The main aim of the thesis is to give a legal-philosophical account of Beccaria's thoughts on crime and punishment, to examine their historical as well as moral background and show the actual impact they had on the legislation of many different, mainly European states. The first chapters of the dissertation are focused on Beccaria's life, his intellectual background and his formative influences (particularly the French, English and Scottish Enlightenment, the social contract theory, utilitarianism, Montesquieu's thoughts on penal...
