This thesis analyses Huatulquenos (1991) and Samahua (1997), by the Mexican author Leonardo Da Jandra. The goal of this study is to examine the interaction between literature and society. For this reason, three elements have been tackled: the referent that inspired the novels, the texts and their reception. The referent, the county of Santa Maria Huatulco (Mexico), has been studied from a socio-political perspective. The text analysis, on the other hand, not only focuses on style and content of the texts, but it isolates the implicit discourses articulated in both novels. Finally, the study of the reception explains the different reactions the texts have experienced as well as the environmental activism the author and his wife have led. The conclusions wrap up by questioning the roles of the intellectual as a cultural mediator and of literature and literary criticism as means of representation of subaltern groups.

Le Bestiaire de Leonard de Vinci (datable aux alentours de 1493-1494) est une oeuvre qui s'inscrit dans le cadre de la complexe tradition litteraire-scientifique tout en etant, de plusiers facons, differenciee par rapport au corpus a facettes des ouvrages de Vinci. L'analyse des sources (le Fiore di virtu, l'Acerba de Cecco d'Ascoli, l'Histoire naturelle de Pline, et d'autres textes inspires au Physiologus grec) constitue la premiere partie de l'etude, ou grande place est donnee aux innovations de Leonard. Dans la deuxieme partie les aspects scientifiques et litteraires, qui sont presents simultanement dans l'oeuvre, viennent ainsi examines minutieusement dans l'intention de demontrer que le Bestiaire ne constitue pas simplement un emprunt aux sources, mais est plutot une contribution originale a la tradition dont elle fait partie et dont on ressent la touche creative de Leonard et l'universalite de sa pensee.

The aim of this work is to present Italian modernism and its forms as we can find them in the magazines from the beginning of the 20th century. Due to their long-term activity magazines are a useful mean for studying social processes. For our analysis four magazines were chosen from which everyone represents a specific area: Leonardo magazine offers an overview of modern philosophic thoughts, Il Rinnovamento magazine reports on modernist movement within the Catholic Church, Lacerba magazine represents area of modernist art and literature and finally La Voce magazine can be considered a synthesis of topics with regard to processes going on in the Italian society at the beginning of the 20th century. After introductory part with description of historical and culture context the attention is focused on the magazines themselves explaining what was the motivation of their origin, how their program declaration developed and especially offering thematic analysis of their content. One of the examined areas is also described with regard to the concrete magazine and the effect it had on it. At the very end of the analytic part there is an evaluation of the magazines and their influence within the social transformation. Conclusion part offers an answer to the initial question, whether the word "modernism" is...

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / In the first decades of the twentieth century, Brazilian intellectuals discussed relations between the Brazilian hinterlands and coastal cities. One was Leonardo Mota (1891- 1948) that examined these relationships by calling attention to the "divorce between the Interior and the Sea" (MOTA, 1925, p.5). However, this "divorce" and difficult relationship between the hinterland and the Brazilian coast were not new, brought the unfolding of a series of constructs images and ideas produced historically. This paper makes an analysis about the construction of the national culture project created by Leonardo Mota in the years 1920-1930 and the historicity of the constructions of these images and ideas that influenced the consolidation of the distance between the hinterland and the coast, and also contributed in formation of national identities. / Nas primeiras dÃcadas do sÃculo XX, intelectuais brasileiros discutiram as relaÃÃes entre os sertÃes e as cidades litorÃneas brasileiras. Um deles foi Leonardo Mota (1891-1948) que analisou essas relaÃÃes chamando a atenÃÃo para o âdivÃrcio entre o SertÃo e o Marâ(MOTA, 1925, p.5). Entretanto, esse âdivÃrcioâ e difÃcil relaÃÃo entre os sertÃes e o litoral brasileiros nÃo eram novos, traziam os desdobramentos de uma sÃrie de construÃÃes de imagens e ideias produzidas historicamente. Esta dissertaÃÃo faz uma anÃlise sobre a construÃÃo do projeto de cultura nacional criado por Leonardo Mota nos anos de 1920-1930 e sobre a historicidade das construÃÃes dessas imagens e ideias que influenciaram a consolidaÃÃo do distanciamento entre os sertÃes e o litoral e, ainda, contribuÃram na formaÃÃo de identidades nacionais.

Esta tese compreende uma edição dos estudos de anatomia de Leonardo da Vinci, em torno da qual estão textos que visam interpretá-los sob o ponto de vista da epistemologia. Parte-se de uma visão ampla a respeito do problema do conhecimento e localiza-se a seguir parte desse problema no âmbito de cultura em que Leonardo se formou, com uma análise das fontes de época que tratam das questões relativas à aproximação entre as artes e as ciências do período. Apresenta-se a seguir uma edição significativa dos estudos de anatomia de Leonardo, na qual se discute principalmente sua elaboração ao longo dos trinta anos em que Leonardo investigou a anatomia. Retorna-se a Leonardo e seu âmbito de formação em vista de pensar a aproximação que Leonardo fez entre arte e ciência, superando seus contemporâneos artífices e, assim, colocando-se fora de sua cultura de origem sem alcançar à cultura letrada e colocando um ponto de interrogação na classificação dos saberes de sua época. Por fim, retoma-se as considerações amplas a respeito de conhecer, associando-as ao conhecer sui generis de Leonardo. / This thesis presents an edition of Leonardo da Vincis anatomical studies, which is surrounded by comments whose aim is to interpret these studies with respect to an epistemological point of view. Departing from a broad view about the problem of knowledge, this thesis then presents this problem in the culture in which Leonardo was educated, with an analysis of the sources in which the relations between the arts and sciences are presented and explored. It is followed by an important selection his anatomical studies, in which it is discussed the development of Leonardos work as an anatomist during thirty years. This thesis then return to Leonardos culture in order to think his synthesis between art and science that surpassed the aims and ambitions of his contemporaries, but making him a strange in his own culture and at the same time questioning the cultural establishment of his time. In the end, this thesis comes back to the broad view on the problem of knowledge and associates it to the sui generis knowledge of Leonardo da Vinci.

Em nosso estudo propomos um método de leitura que averigua tanto os livros em si mesmos como evidencia as afinidades entre as obras e um sentido de jornada. Deste modo, com base na leitura destes livros, compreendemos que a contribuição de nosso trabalho incide na apresentação da poética de Leonardo Fróes e no modo como ela articula as irrupções do sagrado e do mundo natural dentro da poesia contemporânea brasileira. Assim, construímos aportes tanto para futuros estudos sobre a obra de Leonardo Fróes, quanto para pesquisas que busquem compreender relações entre poesia, mundo natural e sagrado. / Esta investigación está dedicada al estudio de lo que llamamos la escucha poética en la obra de Leonardo Fróes, prestando atención a las presentaciones del mundo natural y lo sagrado, con el corpus Lingua Franca (1968), He olvidado de advertir que estoy vivo (1973) Así (1986), Argumentos Invisibles (1995) y Chino con sueño (2005).
