Trend and panel data analyses are used to determine the role of financial variables in GDP growth differences during the last global recession. Real variables are implemented in order to absorb real shocks and give a better (less biased) estimation of the effects of those nominal (financial) shocks. Results indicate an important role of Stock Market correlations.

Thus, the present study presents a historical narrative of this musical practice during the period that covers the end of the 19th century until nowadays. This time frame was split into three stages, defined according to the acute transformations of the guitar solo activity in the city. It was elected for each of these stages one representative composer, Odilon Kneipp Fleury Curado (1898-1980), Sebastião Martins de Oliveira (1911-1977) and Estércio Marquez Cunha (1941-), whose compositions was examined in the last part this research. This research has been divided into four chapters: I – The guitar consolidation process in concert music in Brasil; II – The guitar solo in the city of Goiânia; III – Evaluation and analysis of works and Final considerations. As background of our historical approach we have used the concepts of some authors of Cultural History, such as Bakhtin, Pesavento, Freire and Burke. For the musical analysis, addressed in chapter 3, we have used Nattiez’s theory. / Em pesquisas preliminares notamos a existência de uma relevante tradição do violão solista na cidade de Goiânia ainda muito pouco discutida em trabalhos científicos. Desta forma, esta pesquisa apresenta uma narrativa histórica da trajetória desta prática em um recorte temporal que abrange o período final do séc. XIX até a atualidade. Todo este intervalo de tempo foi dividido em três momentos, definidos a partir das transformações mais agudas identificadas com relação ao violão solista nesta cidade. Foi eleito para cada um destes momentos um compositor representante, a saber, Odilon Kneipp Fleury Curado (1898-1980), Sebastião Martins de Oliveira (1911-1977) e Estércio Marquez Cunha (1941-), cujas obras foram analisadas na última etapa deste trabalho. A pesquisa foi dividida em quatro capítulos: I – O processo de consolidação do violão na música de concerto no Brasil, II – O violão solista na cidade de Goiânia, III – Apreciação e análise das obras e Considerações Finais. Como pano de fundo de nossa abordagem histórica fizemos uso de alguns dos conceitos de teóricos da História Cultural, como Bakhtin, Pesavento, Freire e Burke. A análise musical teve como arcabouçou teórico a abordagem de Nattiez.

Essa narrativa é construída através de relatos que nos proporcionam o entendimento dos fatos que levam a personagem principal à morte. Analisamos a Crônica sob a perspectiva das narrativas de testemunho bem como da crônica (AIO: 2007), pois percebemos que existem características de ambos os tipos textuais na obra de García Márquez, o que a torna, portanto, a nosso ver, uma narrativa que apresenta a fusão de diferentes características textuais, uma vez que nos apresenta os testemunhos do narrador e das personagens que vivenciaram os acontecimentos fúnebres daquela segunda-feira, através da ficcionalização de um fato cotidiano. Esse hibridismo se acentua quando vemos que há sempre um mistério rondando a narrativa, já que a mesma apresenta características próximas ao romance policial (BOILEAUNARCEJAC: 1991), fornecendo-nos, assim, a tríade típica desse gênero: o criminoso, a vítima e o crime. Analisamos também as memórias individuais e coletivas (HALBWACHS: 2006; BOSI: 2003) apresentadas pelo narrador e pelas personagens. O narrador nos apresenta não somente as visões das personagens, mas também suas impressões pessoais acerca da história, deixando, portanto, suas marcas dentro da narrativa / The object of this research is to study the Chronicle of a Death Foretold written by the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez. This literary work is composed by accounts which provide the understanding of the facts about the death of the main character present in this narrative. It is analyzed from the perspectives of witness narratives and chronicle (AIO: 2007), because it is possible to notice that this both textual types exist in the Chronicle of a Death Foretold, demonstrating that this narrative contains different textual characteristics. The mixture of these textual characteristics is observed in the narrator and in the characters evidences of their mournful experiences through the daily events fictionalization. This hybridism is intensified because there is always a mystery around the narrative as it is also observed in detective novels (BOILEAU-NARCEJAC: 1991), in which there is the triad: victim, criminal and the crime. It is also analyzed the individual and collective memories presented by the narrator and the characters, as studied by (HALBWACHS: 2006; BOSI: 2003). In Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the narrator presents not just the characters views, but also his own impressions about the whole story, leaving his point of view about the narrative

The approach of the nuances of the timbre in this piece of music is not only directed towards what determines the recognition of the sound of the instrument, but also to its interpretation. To understand the relations between these two sound parameters in this piece, first, as explained in Part B, it is made one review of the literature about the timbre and the dynamic in a musical context. Then, there is a phenomenological analysis of Música para Trompete Solo with the intention of knowing the structure of the piece, and finally, the interpretative suggestions, the time which aim to verify how dynamic, interacting with other elements of composition, act in the configurations of the timbre in this piece by Estercio Marquez Cunha. The end result was the interpretation of the piece in two recitals, as shown in the programs contained in Part A. / Este trabalho, estruturado em Parte A e Parte B, investiga como a dinâmica influencia o timbre na Música para Trompete Solo, de Estercio Marquez Cunha. A abordagem das nuances tímbricas nessa obra não está direcionada apenas para o que determina o reconhecimento do som do instrumento, mas, também, à sua interpretação. Para compreender a relação desses dois parâmetros sonoros nessa obra, primeiramente, como exposto na Parte B, faz-se uma revisão de literatura sobre o timbre e a dinâmica no contexto musical. Em seguida, realiza-se uma análise fenomenológica da Música para Trompete Solo com a finalidade de conhecer a estrutura da obra e, por fim, as sugestões interpretativas, momento em que se objetiva verificar, na prática, como a dinâmica, em uma interação com outros elementos da composição, atua na configuração do timbre nessa obra de Estercio Marquez Cunha. O resultado final foi a interpretação da obra em dois recitais, conforme mostra os programas contidos na Parte A.

From the theoretical foundations presented by Chiantore (2004) and Richerme (1996) on piano technique, Baron (1998) and Radice (2012) for chamber music, Schoenberg (2004) and Correa (2006) for structural and harmonic analysis, and Garcia and Barrenechea (2003) describing the work for solo piano of Estércio M. Cunha, this article contextualizes the works and points out the challenges and technical/interpretative suggestions to the pianist who wants to perform them. Twelve trios were found in the collection of Estércio M. Cunha composed between 1969 and 2012, and a brief harmonic/structural description of the pieces and challenges for the pianist. Of the twelve, five were prepared by this researcher. The performance provided opportunities for experiences that support the technical/interpretative suggestions. 60% of the works were composed after 2000 and they present striking stylistic features of the composer - slow tempos, rhythmic complexity, timbre as a structural element and quartal harmonies - and challenges for the chamber pianist that require an interpretive maturity, exploration of sonorities and reading score that lacks tonal music patterns. / A presente pesquisa apresenta uma discussão sobre os trios com piano do compositor Goiano Estércio Marquez Cunha (1941) sob o olhar do pianista. A partir dos fundamentos teóricos apresentados por Chiantore (2004), Richerme (1996) e Narum (2010) sobre técnica pianística, Baron (1998) e Radice (2012) sobre música de câmara, Schoenberg (2004) e Correa (2006) em relação a análise estrutural e harmônica musical, e Garcia e Barrenechea (2003) que descrevem a obra solo para piano de Estércio M. Cunha, contextualiza-se as obras e expõe-se desafios e sugestões técnico-interpretativas para o pianista que pretende abarcar o projeto de incluí-las em seu repertório. Doze trios foram encontrados no acervo de Estércio M. Cunha compostos entre 1969 e 2012, dos quais apresenta-se uma breve descrição harmônico/estrutural e desafios para o pianista. Dos doze, cinco foram preparados por esta pesquisadora para performance oportunizando vivências que subsidiam as sugestões técnico/interpretativas colocadas no final de cada descrição. 60% das obras foram compostas a partir de 2000 e apresentam características estilísticas marcantes do compositor – andamentos lentos, complexidade rítmica, timbre como elemento estrutural e harmonias quartais – e desafios ao pianista camerista que exigem uma maturidade interpretativa, a exploração de sonoridades e leitura melódica e harmônica que não apresenta padrões da música tonal.

Partimos da idéia de que história e literatura são disciplinas distintas, porém com uma série de semelhanças que legitimam ambas a elaborarem o passado, escrevendo-o e dessa forma interpretando-o. Nesse romance, García Márquez abordou o poder institucional em sua manifestação autoritária; a personagem principal foi inspirada nos ditadores latino americanos e a ambientação da narrativa é a América Latina. Buscamos em nossa leitura observar a construção da história recente de nosso continente; tentamos ler as propostas de interpretação histórica que o romance nos incita a fazer. Nossa preocupação maior foi mostrar que o poder centrado inicialmente na personagem do patriarca é extremamente complexo e apresenta-se de diversas formas, manifestando-se em muitas personagens. O patriarca seria uma alegoria do poder na América Latina, assim como a representação ora de uma individualidade, ora de uma estrutura desse mesmo poder / Abstract: This thesis has the purpose of analysing the novel El Otono del Patriarca, by Gabriel García Marquez, attempting to its considerations about the writing of history. Even considerating history and literature as distinct disciplines, we can say that several similarities legitimize both to rebuild the past, by the use of words, so giving it an interpretation. In this novel, García Marquez depicted the institutional might in its dictatorial manifestation; the main character was inspired in the latin american dictators and the scenery is Latin America. We tried to observe in our reading the construction of the recent history of our continent; we tried to pick up the proposals of history interpretations raised by the book. The main concern was to show that the power, in the beginning centralized in the character of the patriarch, is highly complex and it is presented in many ways, having repercutions in many other characters. The patriarch could be seen as an allegory of the power in Latin America, representing first an individuality, then the structure of this same power / Mestrado / Mestre em História

This thesis interrogates García Márquez’s representations of sexualities in the following selected novels: Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981); The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975); One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967); The Sad and Incredible Tale of Innocent Erendira and her Heartless Grandmother (1972); and Memories of My Melancholy Whores (2004). It is argued here that García Márquez’s employment of the sexuality motif enables him to delve into many worldwide current concerns such as the irrelevance of some socio-cultural sexual practices; commercial sexual exploitation of children; the different manifestations of prostitution; and female powerlessness under autocratic rule. Earlier literary critics have tended to narrowly interpret García Márquez’s employment of the sexuality motif as just a metaphor for colonial exploitation of the colonised. The study also explores the writer’s artistic role and concludes that García Márquez speaks against commercial sexual exploitation of children as he concurrently speaks on behalf of children so exploited. Similarly, the writer speaks on behalf of prostituted womanhood by showing how prostitutional gains do not seem to cascade down to the prostitutes themselves. García Márquez also invests female sexual passivity as a coping mechanism against a dictator’s limitless power over the life and death of his citizens. However, the writer also constructs female agency that grows from the rejection of an initial victimhood to develop into an extremely flawed and corrupt flesh trade that co-opts and indentures children into sex work with impunity. Thus the study breaks new ground to show that García Márquez’s representations of different sexualities are not merely soft porn masquerading as art. His is a voice added to the worldwide concerns over commercial sexual exploitation of children in the main and also the recovery of a self-reliant female self-hood that was previously inextricably bound to male sexual norms. Quite clearly, García Márquez demonstrates that female prostitution is driven by a lack of social safety nets, a lack of other economically viable options and also a distinct lack of educational opportunities for female economic independence, hence the flawed female agency. / English Studies / D.

This dissertation analyses the violence of patriarchal culture as it is staged in three twentieth century texts: the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981), the South African novelist Mark Behr's The Smell of Apples (1993) and the American film Night of the Hunter (1954) directed by Charles Laughton. Each of these works focuses on the induction of the boy child into culture and the trauma attendant on this process of accession. The thesis is that if culture is violent then it must follow that damage is done to the developing subject in the process of its construction by the cultural forces that shape masculinity. The theoretical grounding of the analysis is derived from two main sources: Jacques Derrida's account of the violence of culture in Of Grammatology (1976) and the analysis of patriarchy and the Oedipal development of the boy child into manhood found in the work of Freud and Lacan. Derrida is used for his thinking on the inherently violent nature of culture and the way in which cultural discourse is structured through binary dualisms. The three chosen works all critique and dismantle binarist thinking as a move towards imagining a less destructive discursive order. The Oedipal narrative, as a myth which describes and explains the forces shaping the male child in the process of acculturation, exemplifies and illustrates cultural violence: As expounded by Freud and Lacan, the Oedipal myth is one which underpins all three of the chosen works. Derrida, Freud and Lacan have been very usefully mediated by several cultural critics and therefore extensive use is made of commentaries by Kaja Silverman, Frank Krutnik and Madan Sarup. Slavoj Zizek's interpretations of Lacan have also yielded much that is interesting about the nature of the Law of the Father and consequently reference is made to his ideas, principally in Chapter Four.This dissertation analyses the violence of patriarchal culture as it is staged in three twentieth century texts: the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981), the South African novelist Mark Behr's The Smell of Apples (1993) and the American film Night of the Hunter (1954) directed by Charles Laughton.
