The aim of this thesis is to compare the concept of the civil society and the attitudes towards it, as understood by Vaclav Havel, Vaclav Klaus and Milos Zeman. Furthermore, the thesis examines the evolutions of their attitudes and their particular actions within the organized civil society. The comparison is carried out using available materials and relevant existing works by authors expertizing in the authors' political legacy. The first part introduces basic terms and three crucial phases in the development of Czech civil society. The second part critically analyses the authors' attitude to organized civil society. Comparison findings suggest that their concept of civil society does not concur: their attitude to influential organizations of civil society varies, yet a certain agreement is apparent in their support of voluntary activities of various interest groups.

[pt] Existem diversas formas de se conceber e perceber a arquitetura, entre tantas, porém, acredita-se que determinadas obras denotam silêncio, manifestação fenomênica que proporciona determinada mobilização empática. Sendo a arquitetura uma arte que envolve questões relacionadas ao espaço material no qual o homem habita, busca-se entender o que faz uma obra construída ser caracterizada essencialmente pelo silêncio e o que é necessário, em termos materiais, para que isso possa acontecer. Para tanto, esta pesquisa se apoia no conceito de tectônica que, de acordo com Kenneth Frampton (1995, 1998), consiste em uma das dimensões essenciais da arquitetura. Sendo assim, além de discussão relacionada ao conceito de tectônica, como referencial teórico-metodológico, mobiliza-se o termo silêncio, ideia intrínseca à pesquisa, com o objetivo de analisar certas expressões arquitetônicas que possibilitam o seu surgimento, percebível sinestesicamente, na arquitetura. Assim, foram selecionados três projetos para análise: a Casa Azuma, a Capela Bruder Klaus e o Museu Brasileiro da Escultura - MuBE. Obras onde o silêncio encontra-se em evidência e comprovam que, apesar do ruído sempre existir, é possível vivenciar o silêncio, por intermédio da arquitetura. / [en] There are several ways to conceive and perceive architecture, among many, however, it is believed that certain works denote silence, phenomenal manifestation that provides a certain empathic mobilization. Since architecture is an art that involves issues related to the material space in which man lives, the aim is to understand what makes a constructed work become essentially characterized by silence and what is necessary, in material terms, for this to happen. Therefore, this research is based on the concept of tectonics which, according to Frampton (1995, 1998), is one of the essential dimensions of architecture referring to constructive poetics. Thus, in addition to the discussion related to the concept of tectonics as a theoretical-methodological reference, the term silence, an idea intrinsic to the research, is mobilized, with the objective of analyzing certain architectural expressions that allow its emergence, synesthetically perceivable in architecture. Thus, three projects were selected for analysis: the Azuma House, the Bruder Klaus Chapel and the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture - MuBE; works where silence is in evidence, proving that, even though noise has always existed, it is possible to experience silence through architecture.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Neide Neves.pdf: 575759 bytes, checksum: 41fa02f4f33ba6af1b7e4843d00077a0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-05-10 / Corporal technique has been defined by Western Common Sense as being a mechanical repetition that disciplines the body with a specific purpose in mind. This thesis proposes to destabilize traditional dichotomies of the theory-practice and mind-body type that have been responsible for the longevity of some ontological metaphors such as the body-recipient and the body-instrument that have collaborated efficiently with the most traditional definition of body-technique, as well as the stereotypes of human nature (Pinker, 2004). In methodological terms, the thesis promotes the crossing of studies of different areas of knowledge such as ethnology (Mauss, 1934), the cognitive sciences (Berthoz, 1997, Noë, 2004), the theories of communication (Sodré, 2006, Greiner and Katz, 2005) and political philosophy (Agamben, 2009). The result of the study is the compartmentalization of questions raised by this range of authors and practical experiments, whose starting point is the Klauss Vianna technique, bearing in mind the particular way this technique deals with the body and its communicative processes, generating complex solutions of adaptation in diverse environments (bodies, cities, artistic spaces, etc.). In conclusion, the thesis proposes a political-cognitive redefinition that starts by seeing technique as a communicative operator and a tool of power that can both discipline the body and activate the strategies of political resistance. Everything depends on the processes of mediation that will be activated during the communicative experience between the body and its surroundings / A técnica corporal tem sido definida pelo senso comum ocidental como uma repetição mecânica que disciplina o corpo tendo em vista um fim específico. Esta tese propõe desestabilizar dicotomias tradicionais do tipo teoria-prática e mente-corpo, que tem sido responsáveis pela longevidade de algumas metáforas ontológicas como por exemplo, o corpo-recipiente e o corpo-instrumento que colaboraram de maneira eficiente com a definição mais tradicional da técnica corporal, assim como com os estereótipos da natureza humana (Pinker, 2004). Em termos metodológicos, a tese promove o cruzamento de estudos de diferentes áreas de conhecimento como a etnologia (Mauss, 1934), as ciências cognitivas (Berthoz, 1997, Noë, 2004), as teorias da comunicação (Sodré, 2006, Greiner e Katz, 2005) e a filosofia politica (Agamben, 2009). O resultado da pesquisa é o compartilhamento de questões levantadas por esta gama de autores e experimentos práticos, cujo ponto de partida é a técnica Klauss Vianna, tendo em vista a maneira peculiar como esta lida com o corpo e seus processos comunicacionais, gerando soluções adaptativas complexas em ambientes diversos (corpos, cidades, espaços artísticos, etc). A tese propõe, como conclusão, uma redefinição político-cognitiva que passa a compreender a técnica como um operador comunicacional e um dispositivo de poder que pode agir como instrumento disciplinador do corpo mas também como acionador de estratégias de resistência política. Tudo depende dos processos de mediação que serão ativados durante a experiência comunicativa entre o corpo e o seu entorno

Cybernetics, despite being initially rejected in the Eastern Bloc throughout the 1950s for ideological reasons, rose to a high level of institutional prominence in the 1960s, profoundly influencing state philosophy and economic planning. This thesis is an examination of this transition, charting the development of cybernetics from the object of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands’s (SED) opprobrium to one of the major philosophical currents within the party intelligentsia.

Herr Prof. Dilthey von der RWTH Aachen überbrachte die Gratulation der gesamten schweißtechnischen Community und informierte in seinem Festvortrag zum Thema "Fügetechnik - eine Schlüsseltechnologie für die Zukunft?"

Ähnlich wie in den Sozialwissenschaften blieben Männlichkeiten lange Zeit ein blinder Fleck innerhalb einer Gender-orientierten Literaturwissenschaft und die Konstruktionsmechanismen literarischer Männlichkeit im Dunklen. Erforscht wurden zunächst herausragende Modelle von Männlichkeit(en): einerseits dominante Leitbilder, andererseits deviante Alternativen, etwa der Dandy, der Homosexuelle, der Cross-Dresser. Mittlerweile liegt in nahezu allen Philologien eine Fülle von Einzelstudien zur Darstellung von Männlichkeit innerhalb bestimmter Epochen oder Autoren-Oeuvres vor, wiewohl der Stand der theoretischen Reflexion unterschiedlich ausgeprägt ist.
