Recently there has been considerable interest in Cornish ethnicity reflected both by a rise in the numbers in Cornwall who identify as Cornish and by academic research. Cornish studies have constructed a regional narrative embracing Celticity and an economy based on primary industries, particularly mining, from which has evolved a distinctive culture. This study adopting an ethnographic approach, extends Cornish studies by considering a number of elements which have not previously been addressed. These include investigating how identity may be played out in a particular place to see whether there may be differences in how ethnicity is performed within Cornwall, looking at how it may be practiced collectively in the context of civil society and examining the relationship between ethnicity and place identity. Three settings within Penzance have been selected to represent some of the issues prevalent in twenty first century Cornwall. They include a study of festivals celebrating ethnicity and place identity, an investigation of how kinship and ethnicity are the basis for social cohesion on a social housing estate and an analysis of a dispute over harbour re-development reflecting tensions between regeneration and conservation. Investigating the civil society associated with each of these settings has identified a number of discourses which influence place images, are the focus for debate and reflect different ways in which ethnicity is articulated and performed. Influences on Cornish identity have been exposed which have not been previously explored by Cornish Studies including the relationship between civil society and the state, the importance of place mythology and the impact of inward migration. The study concludes that collective identities, ethnicity and place images are constantly in flux driven by discourses debated within the micro-politics of civil society and that the overarching narratives of Cornishness contain tensions and cleavages which help explain the fractured nature of much of public life in Cornwall.

L'étude de la représentation des bateaux en Europe du Nord-Ouest ne se limite pas à la seule question iconographique et pose pour l'objectif la compréhension de l'humain dans son acte représentatif. Aussi la problématique s'intéresse-t-elle à la modalité perceptive et sa mise en culture. Comprendre la représentation des bateaux durant le Moyen Age nord-européen s'attache ainsi à définir la verbalisation de l'objet technologique qu'est le navire, les modes de productions visuelles et les schémas mentaux qui lestent chacune des images tant mentales que visuelles d'un sens culturel. Il s'agit de donner une définition anthropologique de l'image du bateau restituée à son contexte de développement et d'ainsi rétablir l'intentionnalité créatrice de chacun des auteurs. Image d'un processus créatif en cours, le bateau mythologique pose donc les questions d'un comportement humain fondamental, aussi est-il important de baser cette analyse sur un questionnement épistémologique. Il s'agit de véritablement d'appréhender le mouvement créatif humain. Cette thèse est un bateau. / Studying the representation of ships in Nord-West Europe is not limited to the sole iconographic question, but aims to understand the human in its act of representation. To do so, this thesis asks the question of the human perception and its cultural result. In this perspective, a particular interest has been given to the words used by the populations to name the ship as a technological object, to the boat-shaped productions and images, and to the mental patterns behind each type of representation. In a nutshell, the thesis aims to give an anthropological definition of these particular images, by studying the production contexte and the author's intentionality. Image of a creative process, the mythological ship asks the questions of a fondamental human behavior, which implies a deeper epistemological analysis. Questioning the image of a ship is questioning the creative movement. This thesis is a boat.

Este trabalho se compõe, por assim dizer, em três tempos. Num primeiro tempo intenta-se construir a noção de linguagem em relação com a mitologia. Num segundo tempo, a relação entre mitologia e estratégia política. Ou seja, o uso da mitologia que se poderia chamar de mitologia tecnicizada. Num terceiro tempo, linguagem, mitologia e política historicamente articulados em simbolização no texto Clara de Schelling. / This work is structurated, so to speak, in three parts. The fisrt part aims at \"constructing\" the notion of language in relation to mythology. In the second part, the relation between mythology and politic strategy. In other words, the \"use\" of mythology that could be called \"technical use of mythology\". In the third part, language, mythology and politics articulated in symbolization in Schelling\'s Clara.

Orientador: Ivan Esperança Rocha / Banca: Andrea Lucia Dorini de Oliveira Carvalho Rossi / Banca: Antonio Brancaglion Júnior / Resumo: Osíris foi um dos deuses mais importantes dentro do panteão da civilização egípcia. Encontramos alusões ao seu mito desde o começo da era dinástica até o período greco-romano, onde temos a síntese realizada por Plutarco (45-120 d.C.) no seu tratado sobre Ísis e Osíris. Através da análise desse mito, tal como narrado por Plutarco, pode-se perceber que sua influência foi muito profunda e marcante na história do Egito abrangendo questões referentes aos aspectos principais dessa sociedade. Seu mito respondia questões e anseios pertinentes a todos os egípcios sendo dessa forma adorado em todo o país. Possuía características e funções como deus relacionado aos ciclos da natureza, como a Lua, o Nilo e o grão, como mantenedor da ordem e da sucessão real e fundamentalmente como aquele que transcendeu a morte e foi reinar no Ultra-Tumba, tornando-se rei e juiz desse mundo. Portanto, nosso objetivo será mostrar que o mito de Osíris estava relacionado com todos os aspectos da vida egípcia, da paz à guerra, da seca à enchente, da peste à abundância, da posição divina do faraó à dureza da servidão e fundamentalmente, da vida à morte. Conseguindo, assim, abarcar em sua personalidade divina todos os atributos necessários para solucionar e satisfazer as necessidades de todos os estratos sociais, do rei ao servo. / Abstract: Osiris was one of the most important divinities inside the panteon of Egyptian civilization. We find hints of this myth since the beginning of the Dynastyc era until the Greco-Roman period, in which we have the syntesis made by Plutarch (45-120 A.D.) in his work about Isis and Osiris. Analyzing the myth of Osiris, as it is narrated by Plutarch, we can realize that its influence was very deep and very important in the history of Egypt, reaching questions concerning the main features of this society. The myth of Osiris answered questions and wishes which were pertinent to all egyptians, so that it was adored in entire country. It possessed characteristics and functions as god related to the cycles of nature, like the Moon, the Nile River and the seed; as keeper of order and of regal succession and, fundamentally, as the one which transcended the death and went to reign in Over-Grave, becoming king and judge of that world. Thus, our purpose will be to show that the myth of Osiris was related to all features of Egyptian life, from peace to war, from dryness to inundation, from plague to plenty, from the divine position of the king to the hardness of servitude, and fundamentally, from life to death. So, the myth of Osiris got to embrace, in its divine personality, all the necessary attributes to resolve and to satisfy the needs of all social classes, from the king to the serf. / Mestre

Orientador: Peter James Harris / Banca: Maria Celeste Tommasello Ramos / Banca: Beatriz Kopschitz Xavier Bastos / Resumo: O resgate da antiga tradição literária irlandesa é um contínuo processo de ressignificação e manutenção de todo arcabouço que representa a própria identidade do país. As personagens mitológicas estão presentes na memória da população e servem como inspiração para novas leituras e adaptações. O trabalho de releituras mitológicas intensificou- se principalmente durante o movimento do revivalismo celta (Celtic Revival, início do século XX), tendo como principal figura o dramaturgo William Butler Yeats. Inspirado pelo espírito nacionalista de dado movimento, John Millington Synge produziu diversas peças voltadas para a temática da vida e história celta, entre elas está Deirdre of the Sorrows (1910). Quase um século mais tarde, Vincent Woods escreveu A Cry from Heaven (2005), peça que também tem por base o mito The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu, vulgarmente conhecido como o mito de Deirdre. Esta dissertação analisa uma particularidade acerca da mitologia irlandesa, ou seja, o fato de esta tradição nos presentear com uma vasta quantidade de importantes personagens femininas. O mito de Deirdre, que originalmente leva o nome dos guerreiros, e filhos de Uisliu (The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu), possui como principal personagem uma mulher, Deirdre. Esta característica foi mantida e revisada por Synge e Woods. Neste sentido, averiguamos aspectos acerca da caracterização das personagens femininas presentes em cada uma das peças, de modo comparativo com as presentes no mito. Para tanto, utilizamos a tradução de Thomas Kinsella, presente na obra The Táin (1969), The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu. As ações e os discursos das personagens foram examinados. Deste modo, utilizamos a hipótese de que as personagens femininas nas peças de Synge e Woods poderiam (ou não) ser caracterizadas como mulheres mais independentes...

The mythical characters are present in the people's memories and are a source of inspiration for new readings and new adaptations. The work of mythological rereading became intense mainly during the Celtic Revival Movement, having as leading role the playwright William Butler Yeats. Inspired by the nationalist spirit from this period, John Millington Synge produced several plays regarding the celtic life and history, among them is Deirdre of the Sorrows (1910). Almost a century after Vincent Woods wrote A Cry from Heaven (2005), a play that is also shaped having the myth The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu, widely known as the myth of Deirdre, as source. This dissertation aimed to analyze one specificity regarding the Irish mythology, in other words, the fact that this traditions presents us with a wide amount of important female characters. The myth of Deirdre, that originally has the name of its warriors, and sons of Uisliu, has as the main character a woman, Deirdre. This feature was maintained and revised in a special manner by Synge and Woods. Thus, our goal was to research aspects of the female characterization present in each play, in a comparative manner with the same ones present in the myth. For such, Thomas Kinsella's translation, present in The Táin (1969), The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu was used. The female actions and speeches were examined, especially in dialogues with the male figure. Therefore, we worked with the hypothesis that the female characters in Vincent Woods's and Synge's plays could (or couldn't) have been characterized as independent and powerful women, if compared with their traditional...

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / As histórias em quadrinhos são um gênero narrativo que, nos últimos anos, alcançou enorme espaço. Este trabalho aborda, primeiramente, o problema da linguagem dos quadrinhos, a partir de sua articulação híbrida entre texto e imagem. Posteriormente, apresentamos alguns elementos que constituem a estética dos quadrinhos. Estudamos também as estruturas mitológicas imanentes ao gênero super-herói para desenvolver uma história arquetípica das histórias em quadrinhos. Assim, o problema dos arquétipos é abordado de forma mais abrangente, associada a conceitos filosóficos, propriamente narrativos e históricos com relação ao objeto de arte história em quadrinhos. Por último, fazemos uma análise de um caso particular, demonstrando como um arquétipo é trabalhado nesse gênero narrativo / The comic books are a narrative genre which in the last years have reached a wide repercussion. At first, this work approaches the comics language problem from its hybrid articulation between text and image. Later, we present some elements that may constitute the comics aesthetics. We also discuss the mythological structures immanent from the super hero genre, this discussion is undertaken in order to develop archetypical history of comic books. The archetypical issue is approached in a broad way, while relating with philosophical, properly narrative and historical concepts, as well as relating with the comic book as an object of art. At last, we venture the analysis of a particular case, demonstrating how an archetype is worked in this narrative genre

Hans Jonas (1903-1993) foi um filósofo judeu-alemão que sob os auspícios de Martin Heidegger desenvolveu uma leitura existencialista do fenômeno do gnosticismo, visto por ele como uma religião dualista cujos contornos antecedem e influenciam o Cristianismo Primitivo. Esta leitura tem ecos ainda hoje na reconstrução histórica do gnosticismo, ainda que alguns autores modernos como Michael Williams (1996) e Karen King (2001) tenham feito duras críticas. Na presente dissertação, verificamos que a análise de Jonas é permeada por conceitos antitéticos na formulação do problema gnóstico. São eles: oriente e ocidente, mito e misticismo, mitologia e filosofia, conhecimento e fé, princípio gnóstico e princípio de responsabilidade. Os conceitos antitéticos são limitativos, pois são assimétricos, isto é, a contraparte que pretendem definir é inferiorizada. (KOSELLECK, 2006) Embora Jonas tenha se voltado ao problema do organismo como ontologia após a experiência traumática da Segunda Guerra Mundial, o princípio gnóstico foi a pedra de toque para a formulação de outro princípio em seu período de maturidade: o princípio responsabilidade. Portanto, concordamos com Wadelstein (2000) quando afirma que a franca hostilidade ao princípio gnóstico do Jonas filósofo da natureza e da responsabilidade não permitiu que sua leitura do gnosticismo avançasse, não obstante a possibilidade de contato com os novos documentos de Nag Hammadi. / Hans Jonas (1903-1993) was a German-Jew philosopher who developed an existentialist view to the gnostic phenomena under the scope and orientation of Martin Heidegger, which is a dualistic religion which boundaries had preceded and influenced the Early Christians. Such understanding has yet today played an important role on the historical reconstruction of Gnosticism, even though it has gathered heavy criticism from current scholars such as Michael Williams (1996) and Karen King (2001). In this dissertation is verified that Jonas‘analysis over Gnosticism is trespassed by non-ethical concepts in the basis to the development of the Gnostic construct. So they are: East and West; Myth and Mysticism; Mythology and Philosophy, Faith and Knowledge, Gnostic Principle and Responsibility Principle. Such non-ethical concepts are restrictive itselves since they are asymmetrical, namely, the counterpart they are supposed to define is diminished by them (KOSELLECK, 2006). Although Hans Jonas had turned to face the problem of the self as an ontological one, after World War II, it was the Gnostic Principle the linking point to the construction of his other Principle on his later days: the Responsibility Principle. So that, in accordance to Wadelstein (2000), it was due to the plain hostility towards Jonas’ construct on Gnostic Principle that prevented his understanding over gnosticism from advancing further, despite the possible conection of his ideas with the new-found Nag Hammadi papers.

La matanza de niños acusados de hechiceros ha sido ampliamente reportada entre los arahuacos de la selva central del Perú desde fines del siglo XIX. Las acusaciones de brujería infantil proliferan en coyunturas de crecientes presiones externas, marcadas por enfrentamientos violentos, desplazamiento territorial, y brotes epidémicos. Los fundamentos míticos de la creencia en la hechicería infantil se encuentran en la leyenda de san Cristóbal y el Niño Jesús. Apropiada por medio de la magia mimética en tiempos coloniales, la leyenda de este santo «protector de las plagas» se convirtió, con el paso del tiempo, en el mito arahuaco de un gigante caníbal que va por el mundo junto a su maléfico hijo transformando a la gente. La idea de que los niños podían devenir en poderosos hechiceros se reforzó en tiempos postcoloniales debido a la aparición de epidemias que afectaban mayormente a los adultos. Ejemplo de un acto mimético fallido, la creencia en la hechicería infantil es uno de los productos impredecibles y trágicos del encuentro colonial. / The article analyzes the phenomenon of child sorcery, that is, of children accused of being sorcerers, among the Arawakan peoples of eastern Peru. It is suggested that this practice was the result, in colonial times, of the mimetic appropriation and structural transformation of the Christian legend of St Christopher and the Christ Child into the myth of a cannibalistic giant and his evil infant son. The notion that children could become potent witches would have been reinforced in postcolonial times by epidemics affecting mostly adults. If this is so, the belief in child sorcery would be one of those unforeseen and tragic products of the colonial encounter. In their eagerness to exorcise colonial violence Peruvian Arawaks turned against themselves, unleashing violence against their children’s bodies and through them to the body politic at large. This practice, thought to have been abandoned in the 1970s, has reappeared with renewed force in recent times as a result of the violence and social disruption resulting from confrontations with insurgent groups and the Peruvian Army.
