The phrase "existential predicament" is a summary of Moravia's preoccupation as a novelist. In his fiction there is constant, unrelenting obsession with the situation of a single, particular character confronting, through his own existence in a physical, historical setting, the forces or powers of negation which threaten him with the frightening personal awareness of the possibility, even inevitability, of his own dissolution into nothingness.

During the last stages of the Marcommani Wars in the late second century A.D., Roman literary sources recorded that the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was planning to annex the Germanic territory of the Marcomannic and Quadic tribes. This work will propose that Marcus Aurelius was going to create a province called Marcomannia. The thesis will be supported by archaeological data originating from excavations in the Roman installation at Mušov, Moravia, Czech Republic. The investigation will examine the history of the non-Roman region beyond the northern Danubian frontier, the character of Roman occupation and creation of other Roman provinces on the Danube, and consult primary sources and modern research on the topic of Roman expansion and empire building during the principate. / Graduate / 0579 / 0324 / 0294

A dissertação de mestrado aqui apresentada envolve o estudo do romance La ciociara de Alberto Moravia e sua adaptação fílmica homônima, realizada por Vittorio De Sica e seu colaborador Cesare Zavattini, através de uma abordagem semiótica. A escolha do romance La ciociara deve-se a suas características estruturais, uma vez que esta é uma narrativa que se difere das demais narrativas do autor pela questão do percurso espacial realizado pelos dois personagens principais. O presente trabalho insere-se, portanto, no âmbito da reflexão crítica da literatura italiana do século XX, ao observar a atitude dos intelectuais diante das massas populares. Acompanharemos o percurso intelectual do escritor, seguindo o itinerário proposto por sua obra literária, mostrando, assim, o pensamento da crítica sobre a mesma. A relação do cinema com a literatura suscita um número variado de críticas e estudos, todavia, a questão fundamental para esta pesquisa é o fascínio exercido pela obra literária do escritor Alberto Moravia no imaginário cinematográfico. Os elementos que contribuem para o ‘olhar’ do diretor de cinema e para o do roteirista do filme, formam um elo entre as características que se aproximam e se distanciam do original literário e possibilitam a identificação dos elementos de diluição da obra literária no corpo de uma adaptação fílmica. Na esfera do espaço, o filme de Vittorio De Sica será analisado sob os códigos de focalização. A visão das estruturas narrativas no universo fílmico, levarão em consideração a utilização de determinados pontos de vista que comandam a representação. A conclusão desta análise visa salientar a distanciação entre os personagens do texto e do filme como ligação entre as narrativas em questão / This paper, based on a semiotic approach and presented for the credits of na MA dissertation, is a study of Alberto Moravia’s novel La ciociara and its homonym filmic adaptation by Vittorio De Sica and Cesare Zavattini. The choice of La ciociara happens due to its structural characteristics, once it is different from the other narratives by the author in terms os space trodden by the two main characters. Therefore, this paper is inserted in the scope of the Italian literary critical thinking of the twentieth century, observing the intellectual behavior in face of the crowds. We will follow the writer’s intellectual path shown by his literary writings, thus showing the critics’ thought about his work. The relationship between cinema and literature rouses a varied amount of different studies and criticism; however, the fundamental issue in this research is the fascination Alberto Moravia’s literary work has on the cinematographic imagery. The elements that contribute to how the film director and the screenwriter ‘look’ make a connection among the characteristics that get either close or far from the original literary piece, and also make the identification of the diluting elements of the literary work in the body of the filmic adaptation possible. In the scope of space, Vittorio De Sica’s film will be analyzed within the focalization codes. The view of the narrative structures in the filmic universe will take into consideration the use of certain points of view that command representation. Our conclusion aims at emphasizing the distancing of the characters in the text and in the film as the link between the analyzed narratives.
