Esta pesquisa procura desenvolver uma leitura da produção literária de duas mulheres a russo-ucraniana naturalizada brasileira Clarice Lispector e a colombiana Marvel Moreno. Da primeira, foram selecionados contos publicados no volume Laços de família (1960). Da segunda, contos publicados no volume Oriane, tía Oriane (1980). Vale-se, para tanto, de metodologias do comparativismo e de teorias sobre a literatura feminina. E procura problematizar questões referentes a esse universo em que mulheres escrevem sobre o ser feminino, aí considerado num sistema que inclui experiências existenciais, relações sociais e que considera também o campo mais amplo da própria condição humana. Entre os vários aspectos estudados, considerou-se o modo como as autoras comparadas estruturam as personagens femininas, nos seus diversos estágios de desenvolvimento: enquanto crianças e adolescentes em formação, na sua primeira juventude como mulher, na vida de casada e no seu papel de mãe. A análise comparativista dos contos está fundamentada em alguns elementos considerados pela crítica feminista como determinantes do conjunto de obras produzidas por mulheres, ressaltando-se, dentre eles, o uso frequente do discurso indireto livre e da narração em primeira pessoa, recursos que, mediante a mobilização da lembrança do passado, da auto-análise e da auto-descoberta, colaboram para uma problematização da identidade feminina e do significado da existência. / This research aims to develop a reading of the literary work of two women russianucranian naturalized brazilian Clarice Lispector and Colombian Marvel Moreno. Significant stories of both authors were selected for this study; from the first, were chosen some stories published on volume entitled Laços de família (1960), and from the Colombian writer, some stories on volume Oriane, tía Oriane (1980). To do this, methodologies as comparatism and female literature theories are the principal theoretical elements. It also tries to problematize questions related to that universe within women write about female being, thought as a part of a system including being experiences, social relationships, and with regards to the wider field of human condition itself. Among the diverse aspects, the way both authors organize female characters on their different levels of growing was considered: from childhood, teenage years, the first youth as a woman and the life as a wife, until they assume their mother roles. Comparative analysis of the stories is supported by some elements that feminist critic consider as deciding factors to be inserted into the group of writings produced by women, and between them those whose relevancy rests on the frequent use of free indirect speech and first-person narrator; this sources, mediated by past memories, selfexamination and the self-discovery strengthen the complexity of female identity and the meaning of existence.

We aim to present the writer Carmen Soler (1924- 1985), unknown in Brazil. Her lyrical female writing is the starting point of poetry in the Paraguayan literary context, as a poet and revolutionary in the dictatorship years. We present theoretical reflections and referrals that elucidate the approach of Comparative Literature, through a descriptive methodology. For this research, we have as corpus the work Poemas (1970), because it is the the only publication made by Soler while living, tracing a parallel with the Chilean Maria Luisa Bombal (1910-1980) in the novels A Última Névoa (1935) and A Amortalhada (1938). - considering what differs them and what approximates them, because even without having ever seen each other, however, they are moved by the love for writing. This study also aims to theorize the look and the literature, intercross the vision of the authors, the look that narrates in the works, offer this eye in the eyes of young women writers, allow the reader to see them, for every encounter is fascinating. The work has the context of the patriarchal society from 1930 to 1980, twentieth century. From a bibliographical point of view, the theoretical scope is anchored, especially, with Merleau-Ponty (2013), in his work O olhar e o espírito (Eye and mind); with Novaes, in his work O Olhar (1993); with Benjamin, in O narrador (The storyteller) (1994), in the poetry of Baudelaire, among others; Paraguayan Literature, by Miguel Àngel Fernandez (2011); and about Bombal, Kahmann (2010) Marcari (2013), Hosiasson (2013) and Figueiredo (2015). The memory, in Le Goff (1990), in addition to bibliographic support and images of Carmen Soler provided by the writer's family. / Esta dissertação propõe analisar a temática “o olhar e a literatura” na lírica e no romance latino-americano.

Sua escrita feminina lírica é o marco inicial da poesia no contexto literário paraguaio, como poeta e revolucionária nos anos da ditadura. Apresentamos reflexões teóricas e encaminhamentos que elucidam a abordagem da Literatura Comparada, por meio de uma metodologia comparativa em diversas e várias formas de arte, bem como suportes do olhar na tecnologia. Para esta pesquisa, tem-se como corpus a obra Poemas (1970), pois é a única publicação em vida de Carmen Soler, traçando um paralelo com a chilena Maria Luisa Bombal (1910- 1980) nos romances A última névoa (1935) e A Amortalhada (1938) - considerando o que as difere e o que as aproxima, e, mesmo sem nunca terem se visto, são próximos seus anseios movidos pelo amor à escrita. Este estudo também visa teorizar o olhar e a literatura, entrecruzar a visão das autoras com o escopo teórico, bem como com objetos da teoria literária, apoiada na música, pintura e tecnologia. O olhar que narra nas obras tende a oferecer esse olho no olho das jovens escritoras, permitir ao leitor vê-las, em um diálogo com obras históricas da literatura e arte, já que todo encontro é encantador. O trabalho tem o contexto da sociedade patriarcal de 1930 a 1980, século XX.

While current scholarship acknowledges the influence of Buddhist ideas on Julio Cortázar’s fiction, critical analysis of this element of his work does not often engage in depth with Buddhist thought. Buddhism is frequently characterised as something mystical or mythical when read in relation to the works of Cortázar. This approach leads to an insufficient reading of the highly important notion of the ‘centro’ in Rayuela (1963), whose symbolism, evoking a dynamic equilibrium, may be more successfully explored with closer reference to Buddhist philosophy. The Argentine author Marcelo Cohen has also engaged with Buddhist ideas in his works; his Buda (1990), a biography of the historical Buddha, testifies to this interest. Again, however, this aspect has not received full attention in critical scholarship. Given the importance of the use of negation in Cohen’s literature, comparing Cohen with Buddhist philosophy can enrich our understanding of many aspects of his works, such as his treatment of relationality. I have chosen to compare both Argentine authors with the Indian Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna, who is considered the founder of the Madhyamaka school, which is particularly associated with the theory of ‘emptiness’ (‘śūnyatā’). Nāgārjuna’s philosophy is cited directly in Cortázar’s poem ‘Canción de Gautama’ and Cohen’s Buda and informs a number of these writers’ other texts. The main body of the thesis is divided into three sections. These examine the triadic relation between time, identity and language, with each section focusing more on one of these three aspects in turn. The three chapters and three authors will be drawn together to form a new reading of the role of negation.

This dissertation studies conservative modernism through the work of three Brazilian authors: Olavo Bilac, Graça Aranha and Monteiro Lobato. The three of them lived and were active between the 1890s and 1930s and were influential and controversial public figures during that period. Commonly criticized by the avant-garde modernists, their names remain associated with conservative and traditional views of modernity. I analyze how these three authors dialogued with the literary and journalistic circles and what kind of impact their works had when confronted with the avant-garde generation. I argue that some of their main ideas – misconceived in their attempt to answer the dilemmas of Brazilian society at the time – represented, nevertheless, an opportunity to think about the dialogue between high culture and popular culture, key elements of national identity used in the political discourse, and the role of the writer. These three central issues were tackled in the development and accommodation of modernity in the social and political discourse at that time.

This study intends to determine how stress levels change over time in nursing students in the Baccalaureate program at East Tennessee State University. The instrument utilized for this survey was the Perceived Stress Scale by Mind Garden, Inc. This survey was passed at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester. There was no-significant difference found between the two time spots, leading us to conclude that the level of stress perceived by nursing students is a steady factor during their school semester.

Movement and storytelling are the links between past and present; both dance and literature have the same artistic and primal origins. We began to dance to express and communicate, to worship and feel. We tell stories for the same reasons: to learn from the past and to be able to communicate in the present. This work explores the many connections between literature and dance through examinations of six dance forms: Native American, Bharatanatyam, West African, Ballet, Modern, and Post-Modern dance.

The purpose of this study was to explore the daily life of the younger generation of Mexican Americans through a phenomenology design. Specifically, in regard to how the culture-sharing pattern of biculturalism is reflected in their lives and the way they construct their bicultural identity. The study utilized rich qualitative data to paint a clear and descriptive picture of the internal process of biculturalism within eight Mexican American college students. Ultimately, the data analysis aimed to collect and reflect their voices and the stories. This was done through three distinct data methods that complemented each other: interviews (oral), photo elicitation (visual), and document analysis (written). Results indicate that, the way bicultural individuals organize and respond to their culture in terms of behavior and cognition, is independent from the feelings they experience while engaging in cultural frame switching. No matter how well the participants are able to organize their dual cultures and compartmentalize them in their life, they still struggle with conflicting and opposing feelings. Nonetheless, even though their cultures and ideologies can clash at times and feel contradictory, this young generation can still manage to respond and function in both cultures, but to varying degrees.
