The research is based on documents that record his memories, in testimonials of people with whom he was related, and in his private collection, which is partially preserved in the house where he lived during the last years of his life. This study is guided by Carlo Ginzburg evidential method, which reconstructs characteristics of one s life itinerary and the formation and diversity of one s experiences. It was aimed in the construction of the study to detail and rebuild the sociability nets and the contexts in which the teacher and spiritual leader describes his actions, revealing one of the main assumptions of the research, the one that says that the individuals are constituted by their social practices conduct, having to be considered the relationships to which they are attached, the actions that they promote and the ones that have been inherited, all of them dynamic and contradictory, as E. P. Thompson indicates. Through the study of Agenor Miranda Rocha s trajectory it was possible to identify, in a microscale, the endurance and the practices of knowledge formation and transmission present on nagô-kêtu candomble communities, from the African matrix, as strongholds of Afro-Brazilian knowledge and memories. From the analysis of this teacher and spiritual leader s experiences, it is possible to follow the link between the written and the oral communication, the dominant and the subordinate ones, revealing the mechanisms of circularity present in his trajectory / Este é um estudo da trajetória de formação e das experiências de Agenor Miranda Rocha como professor de Língua e Literatura Portuguesa, no Colégio Pedro II do Rio de Janeiro, entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, e como sacerdote - oluô e olossãe - das tradições religiosas nagô-kêtu, no Brasil. A pesquisa baseia-se em documentos que registram suas memórias, em depoimentos de pessoas que com ele conviveram e no acervo particular do professor e sacerdote parcialmente conservado na casa onde residiu nos últimos anos de sua vida. É uma pesquisa orientada pelo método indiciário de Carlo Ginzburg, que reconstrói aspectos de seu itinerário de vida, formação e diversidade de experiências. Na construção da pesquisa, procurou-se esmiuçar e reconstituir as redes de sociabilidade e os contextos em que o professor e sacerdote descreve os seus movimentos, evidenciando um dos principais pressupostos da pesquisa, a de que os sujeitos se constituem no embate das práticas sociais, considerando-se as relações a que estão atados, as ações que promovem, as que são herdadas, todas elas dinâmicas e contraditórias, como indica E. P. Thompson. Por meio do estudo da trajetória de Agenor Miranda Rocha, foi possível identificar, em uma microescala, as sobrevivências e as práticas de formação e transmissão de conhecimentos de matriz africana presentes nas comunidades de candomblé nagô-kêtu, como redutos dos saberes e da memória afro-brasileira. A partir da análise da experiência desse professor e sacerdote, é possível acompanhar a articulação entre o escrito e o oral, o dominante e o subordinado, revelando mecanismos de circularidade cultural presentes em sua trajetória

Considering the idea of elective affinity, it is possible to affirm that the social, cultural, political, economic and, especially, religious context of the 1950s and 1960s favored the emergence of this charismatic leader and the formation of IPDA, which sought to consolidate in the Pentecostal area from Some identity marks proper to this church, its Internal Regulations, its World Headquarters, IPDA's option for the poorest, the restricted and selective use of the media, and the "War on Evil" worldview. These elements that constitute IPDA's identity are intended to contribute to the consolidation of David Miranda's charisma and strengthen the monopoly of its capital. From the death of the founder emerges the need to transmit the charism and a complex process of succession surrounded by tensions in regard to disputes over power / A Igreja Pentecostal “Deus é Amor”, fundada em 1962 por David Martins Miranda, se consolidou no campo pentecostal a partir do carisma de seu líder-fundador. Considerando a ideia de afinidade eletiva, é possível afirmar que o contexto social, cultural, político, econômico e, sobretudo, religioso dos anos 50 e 60 favoreceram o surgimento deste líder carismático e a formação da IPDA. Esta denominação buscou se consolidar no campo pentecostal a partir de algumas marcas identitárias propriamente características desta igreja: seu Regulamento Interno, sua Sede Mundial, a opção que a IPDA faz pelos mais pobres, o uso restrito e seletivo das mídias e a cosmovisão centrada na “Guerra contra o Mal”. Estes elementos, que constituem a identidade da IPDA, têm por finalidade contribuir com a consolidação do carisma de David Miranda e reforçar o monopólio de seu capital. A partir do falecimento do fundador, emerge a necessidade de transmissão do carisma e um complexo processo de sucessão cercado de tensões no que se refere a disputas pelo poder

The present dissertation dialogues with recent scholar and journalistic publication in Brazil and abroad, which seek to understand the pathways the genre opera has taken since the beginning of the 20th century. The first stage of this study lay on tracking the composing and rehearsing Miranda's opera O Menino e a Liberdade. Afterwards, process documents i.e. diverse materials used and obtained during the process were analyzed through the premiere of the work. This research intends to present a semiotics bias in studying the creative trajectory of an opera and how do artistic material metamorphose throughout the process. The question that moves this research is: which communication networks has Brazilian opera driven? The hypothesis is the indissociability of opera in analytical elements and the need of analyzing the work of composers such as Ronaldo Miranda and understanding opera as a sign system in process and not merely a product. For the analysis, we used the methodology of process criticism, that lies on the theoretical and critical review of production routes. The study was developed through the concept of creation as a network under construction grounded in Charles Sanders Peirce 's semiotics in dialogue with culture thinkers, as it is discussed by Cecilia Salles. The conclusions show new approaches for the genre opera and classical music under a semiotics bias, within a creation network context / O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar a produção da ópera brasileira contemporânea, por meio de uma análise do processo de criação do compositor carioca Ronaldo Miranda. O presente trabalho está em diálogo com recentes publicações de pensadores da academia e de profissionais do jornalismo do Brasil e do exterior que buscam compreender os caminhos que o gênero ópera tem tomado desde o início do século XX. O estudo partiu do acompanhamento do processo de composição da ópera O Menino e a Liberdade, de Ronaldo Miranda, análise dos documentos, ou seja, os diversos materiais que foram utilizados para a composição da obra e acompanhamento de ensaios até que o espetáculo fosse estreado. A pesquisa pretende apresentar uma proposta de leitura semiótica de como se dá o percurso de criação das óperas e a metamorfose dos materiais artísticos no trajeto. A pergunta que move a pesquisa é: que redes comunicativas a ópera brasileira tem acionado? Partimos da hipótese da indissociabilidade da ópera em elementos analíticos e da necessidade de analisar a obra de compositores como Ronaldo Miranda a partir da compreensão da ópera como uma rede sígnica em processo e não meramente um produto. Para análise, está sendo utilizada a metodologia de crítica de processo que se caracteriza pelo estudo das referências bibliográficas, acompanhamento -crítico dos percursos de produção, estudo de documentos de processo e reflexão sobre todo o material coletado. O estudo está sendo desenvolvido a partir do conceito de criação como rede em construção, assim como é discutido por Cecilia Salles, entendimento que tem como fundamentação teórica a semiótica de linha peirceana, em diálogo com pensadores da cultura. As conclusões do trabalho apontam em direção a novas formas de olhar o gênero ópera e a música erudita a partir de um viés semiótico dentro do pensamento de criação em rede

L'air interstitiel extrait du névé de 4 sites polaires nous a donné accès à des échantillons atmosphériques âgés jusqu'à une centaine d'années en quantité suffisante pour l'analyse de la composition isotopique du CH4, considéré comme le second gaz responsable de l'effet de serre induit par l'Homme. L'optimisation d'un dispositif expérimental particulièrement sensible (CF-IRMS) nous a ainsi permis de mesurer le rapport 13CH4/12CH4 d'échantillons d'air pompé à diverses profondeurs du névé dont les résultats, sur 2 des 4 sites étudiés, sont en remarquable concordance avec les rapports mesurés par une autre méthode (TDLAS) au sein du MPI de Mayence (Allemagne). A partir des profils obtenus dans le névé, et grâce à l'utilisation récursive d'un modèle physique de transport diffusif des gaz à travers le névé, nous avons alors pu reconstruire un historique probable du rapport 13CH4/12CH4 dans l'atmosphère au cours du dernier siècle. La contrainte ainsi apportée sur l'évolution du bilan atmosphérique du CH4 nous a permis de confirmer l'hypothèse existante d'une responsabilité primordiale des sources d'origine anthropique dans l'augmentation de 150 % de la teneur en CH4 de l'atmosphère depuis la révolution industrielle. Nous avons également utilisé cette contrainte afin de valider, à travers l'utilisation d'un modèle atmosphérique global, la pertinence de l'hypothèse d'une réduction de 20 % de la capacité oxydante de l'atmosphère depuis 1885. Par ailleurs, une collaboration avec le PSSRI de l'Université d'Open (Royaume-Uni) nous a permis de reprendre la mise au point d'une technique de mesure du rapport CH3D/CH4 dans l'air, que nous avons tenté d'appliquer aux échantillons provenant de 2 des 4 sites déjà considérés en 13C/12C. Enfin, nous avons mis au point et testé avec succès une méthode sensible d'extraction et d'analyse du CH4 de l'air contenu dans les glaces polaires, qui pourra par conséquent être mise en oeuvre pour l'analyse de l'air pré-industriel.

This dissertation contends that The Tempest by William Shakespeare plays a seminal role in the development of postcolonial literature and criticism because it was created in a moment when the colonial system that was now falling apart was just beginning to come into being. Creative writers and critics from the Third World, particularly Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America, and the First found that the moment reflected in The Tempest had something very specific to say to a generation coming of age in the postcolonial world of the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. I establish that a significant discourse that begins in the Nineteenth Century and intensifies in the Twentieth depends on The Tempest to explore the nature of colonialism and to develop an understanding of the postcolonial world. I then examine the role theories of adaptation play in understanding why The Tempest assumes such a crucial role and determine that the most useful model of adaptation resembles the method developed by biblical typologists which “sets two successive historical events [or periods] into a reciprocal relation of anticipation and fulfillment” (Brumm 27). I ague that postcolonial writers and critics found in The Tempest evidence of a history of colonial oppression and resistance often obscured by established historical narratives and a venue to explore their relationship to their past, present, and future. Because my argument rests on the contention that The Tempest was created in a world where colonialism was coming into being, I explore the historical context surrounding the moment of the play’s creation and determine, in spite of the contention of many historians and some literary critics to the contrary, the forces bringing colonialism into being were already at play and were having a profound effect. After briefly illustrating the historical roots of several popular themes in The Tempest that postcolonial writers have embraced, I turn to the work of writers and critics from the Third World and the First to show how The Tempest plays a significant role in postcolonial studies.

A escritora levou o mesmo prêmio em 2003, com a narrativa Dias e Dias, ambientado à época do romantismo brasileiro e que traz a figura de Antonio Gonçalves Dias como personagem central. Em A Última Quimera, Augusto dos Anjos e Olavo Bilac são personagens, com destaque para o cenário carioca do início do século XX – a belle époque nacional, contraponto estético parnasiano-simbolista em que surge a poesia escatológica de Augusto dos Anjos. Neste romance a escritora sai em busca de colocar o poeta paraibano ao lado de Bilac, reescrevendo uma página importante de nossa historiografia literária. Ao contrário da maioria dos trabalhos acadêmicos que compõem a fortuna crítica da autora, em Historiografia literária e fundação do cânone: Ana Miranda, Augusto dos Anjos e Olavo Bilac, acredito que sob a ótica do romance-ensaio Ana Miranda subverte a historiografia literária oficial trazendo as personagens dos poetas de maneira alegórica na reconstrução de um cenário em que se forma o cânone literário nacional. As relações entre a literatura e a história se desenvolvem alicerçadas por um enredo composto por cartas, poemas e curiosidades da cultura brasileira estabelecendo um jogo entre tradição e ruptura na construção narrativa em que Augusto dos Anjos e Olavo Bilac se equiparam como importantes poetas da literatura brasileira. Ao revisitar a historiografia à época da publicação da terceira edição do Eu e outras poesias, em 1928, Miranda nos apresenta as implicações ideológicas da formação do cânone pela voz de um narrador autodiegético. Estamos diante de um romance-ensaio... / Ana Miranda has been a novelist since 1989 when her novel Boca do Inferno was published. The novel was considered by many critics as a biographical romance of a poet from Bahia called Gregório de Matos. This work awarded her prize Jabuti in 1990. She also won the Jabuti Award for her novel Dias e Dias in 2003 whose narrative reminds us of Brazilian Romanticism, having as a central character Antonio Gonçalves Dias. The novel A Última Quimera, Augusto dos Anjos and Olavo Bilac are characters who depict a setting in Rio de Janeiro that happens at the beginning of XX century – the national belle époque, making a contrast between the two movements Parnassianism and Symbolism in which appear the eschatological poetry of Augusto dos Anjos. In relation to this novel, Ana Miranda tries to put the poet from Paraíba besides Bilac, rewriting a very important page of our literary historiography. On the contrary the major academic works that form the most precious critical of the author is the Historiography literary and the foundation of the canon: I have believed that Ana Miranda, Augusto dos Anjos and Olavo Bilac’s voices are behind of an essay-romance. Thus, Ana Miranda subverts the official literary historiography, bringing the characters that belongs to the poets mentioned above in an allegorical way, rebuilding a setting in which there is an effective consolidation of the national literary canon. The relationship between the literature and the history has been developed attached by a plot composed by letters, poems and by some curiosities of Brazilian culture. This has just established a game between tradition and a severance related to the way a narrative is formed in which Augusto dos Anjos and Olavo Bilac show us some symmetry as important poets of Brazilian literature.

Propomos demonstrar como os romances selecionados apresentam uma afinidade no modo de conceber a reconstrução das heroínas, por meio da revisão de episódios históricos traumáticos dos séculos XVI e XIX, que outorgam às figuras da órfã e da cativa branca, respectivamente, um papel emblemático na construção do ideal do que futuramente seriam as modernas nações latino-americanas. O questionamento dos mitos raciais e culturais é feito a partir das memórias individuais e das compartilhadas com o imaginário coletivo que apresentam uma versão inédita da história, pelo olhar marginal da voz feminina. Ademais, pretendemos verificar as tensões entre o Outro e a mulher, nas quais podemos ver refletidas as relações entre as protagonistas e os discursos que legitimam a autoridade das identidades dominantes. Nesse sentido, podemos ler importantes discussões de cunho ideológico que atravessam os romances e confirmam a desconstrução da univocidade dos discursos fundacionais da Nação, assim como o desejo de refundação de suas bases pela conciliação entre pares, tradicionalmente opostos. Tomamos como base teórica os estudos sobre a metaficção historiográfica, de Linda Hutcheon (1991) e os estudos sobre novo romance histórico latino-americano (PERKOWSKA, 2008), entre outros, a fim de avaliarmos os aspectos culturais de gênero, o diálogo com a tradição literária e historiográfica, as identificações ideológicas e a construção das personagens ficcionais. / This work makes a comparative analysis of Desmundo novels (1996), by the Brazilian writer Ana Miranda and Finisterre (2005) by the Argentine writer, María Rosa Lojo. We propose to show how the selected novels have an affinity in the way of conceiving the reconstruction of the heroines, through of the traumatic historical episodes review of the Sixteenth and Nineteenth century, which allow to figures of the orphan and white slave woman an emblematic role in the ideal of building which in the future would be the modern Latin American nations. The questioning of the racial and cultural myths is done from the individual memories and shared with the collective imagination that present a unique version of the story, through of the woman's voice marginal eye. Furthermore, we intend to verify the tensions between the Other and the woman, in which we see reflected the relationships between the protagonists and the discourses that legitimize the authority of the dominant identities. In this sense, we can read important ideological discussions that cross the novels and confirm the nation deconstruction of the univocity of the founding discourses and the desire to re-foundation of its bases for reconciliation between pairs traditionally opposed. We take as theoretical basis the studies of Historiographical Metafiction by Linda Hutcheon (1991) and studies about Latin American's New Historical Novel (PERKOWSKA, 2008), among others, to assess the gender cultural aspects, the dialogue with literary and historiographical tradition, the ideological identifications and the fictional characters construction.

Ambos os romances foram elaborados a partir de fatos ocorridos em momentos históricos cruciais da grande narrativa de formação nacional dos Estados Unidos e do Brasil. Beloved resgata o crime cometido pela escrava foragida Margaret Garner, poucos anos antes da Guerra Civil (1861-1865), quando matou a própria filha na tentativa de evitar que suas crianças voltassem para a fazenda onde seriam escravizadas. Desmundo retoma a vivência de uma das órfãs enviadas pelo rei de Portugal à colônia Brasil, no século XVI, para servirem como esposas, a pedido dos padres que esperavam extinguir os hábitos dos colonos de se relacionarem com as índias. A confluência entre memória, história e literatura acontece nesses romances por meio da rememoração e da renembrança que se configuram, ao mesmo tempo, como processos mnemônicos realizados pelas personagens e como estruturas narrativas. A rememoração é definida como a imagem que permanece (individualmente e no mundo) quando algo deixa de existir; a renembrança é originada a partir de experiências singulares e possui relações com um mundo fantasioso. Ambas compartilham características ligadas ao enigma da representação que retoma eventos do passado, tais como a construção paradoxal de ausências e distâncias. Porém, a rememoração possibilita a memória coletiva, enquanto a renembrança ocasiona a memória individual. As estratégias narrativas de cada romance acompanham a caracterização de cada um desses processos, distinguindo-se na constituição da memória... / The concepts of rememory and renembrança are presented and defined in Toni Morrison‟s Beloved (1987) and Ana Miranda‟s Desmundo (1996), respectively, as mnemonic processes incorporated into the fictional space in order to revise official national historical perspectives. The American and the Brazilian novels were both based on facts that took place in crucial historical moments of the master narrative concerning the national formation of each country. Beloved revisits the crime committed by Margaret Garner, a fugitive slave, during the pre-Civil War years, when she killed her own daughter in an attempt to save her children from returning to slavery. Desmundo recollects the experiences of one of the Portuguese orphan girls sent to sixteenth-century colonial Brazil to serve as wives, by orders of the king and by the request of the priests who wanted to put an end to the sexual relations among Portuguese colonialists and natives. Rememory and Renembrança set the interrelations between memory, history and literature because they are the mnemonic processes engendered by the characters and, at the same time, they form the structure of the novels. Rememory is defined as the image that lasts (individually and in the world) when something no longer exists; renembrança originates from singular experiences and establishes relations with a fantasy world. The two processes share features related to the enigma of representation that recaptures past events, such as paradoxical constructions of absences and distances. However, rememory triggers collective memory whereas renembrança belongs to individual memory. The narrative strategies of each novel follow the characteristics of each process, distinguishing themselves in the creation of characters‟ memory and experiences. These differences, though, converge to a common objective of preventing the erasure of the past not only through... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
