abstract: During the politically charged period between the 1950s and 1970s in the United States, Nancy Newhall emerged as an important advocate for open space. She began traveling to the West which encouraged her dedication to land preservation and invigorated her enthusiasm for photography. Newhall was already a respected curator and author addressing the communicative roles of photographs. After spearheading groundbreaking museum retrospectives of contemporary photographers she expanded her artistic vison to include conservation activism. The notable photographers, scholars, writers, and politicians with whom she collaborated often overshadowed her contributions, and they have been under celebrated until recently. My project studies her efforts on a quintessential Sierra Club publication from 1960. While considering her book titled This Is The American Earth I was led to insightful explorations of her unique approach to contextualizing photographs. My investigations revealed the impact that the work of Nancy Newhall had on land preservation, alongside her prolonged influence on the acceptance of photography as fine art and a resilient device of communication. In This Is The American Earth her calculated, inspired approach, attaching text to photos conveyed stirring messages to readers and forwarded an innovative use of a genre that the Sierra Club willingly embraced. Working with its president and Ansel Adams, she edited, wrote, and published several popular illustrated volumes which brought an interpretation of open space into American living rooms. Her efforts produced iconic picture books that remain memorable examples of the mid-20th century conservation movement. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Art History 2016

A busca de identidade e o questionamento das histórias inscritas na História, temas retratados no livro em questão, que se pode contextualizar na vária literatura chamada de pós-moderna, pretendem ser estudados a partir das visões críticas da própria autora, expressas em seus livros de ensaios A espécie fabuladora (2010) e Nord perdu (1999). Além da visão de História e identidade como ficção, apresentados por ela em A espécie fabuladora, assim como a inseparável questão linguística que permeia todas as discussões identitárias e que está presente em Nord perdu, propõe-se o aprofundamento de reflexões sobre os conceitos de metaficção historiográfica (HUTCHEON, 1991), visando a abordagem da História no romance; sobre o conceito de sujeito pós-moderno (HALL, 1999) para repensar as questões identitárias e, de forma geral, a problematização do conceito de entre-lugar divulgado por Bhabha (BHABHA, 1999). / This thesis aims to study the novel Lignes de faille (2006), by Nancy Huston, Anglophone writer who adopts French as her writing language from the moment she moves and settles permanently in France. The search for identity and the questioning of the stories recorded in History, foundation themes for the construction of the book, to which is proposed a post-modern reading, are intended to be studied from the author's own critical views, stated in her essay books A espécie fabuladora (2010) and Nord perdu (1999). Besides the view of History and identity as fiction, presented by her in A espécie fabuladora, just as well as the inseparable linguistic issue that pervades every identity discussion, introduced in Nord perdu, it is proposed a deepening of the reflections with the concepts of historical metafiction (HUTCHEON, 1991), to look at the concept of History used in the novel; the application of the concept of the postmodern subject (HALL, 1999) to rethink the identity issues and, in general, the problematization of the concept of in-betweenness disclosed by Bhabha (BHABHA, 1999).

Para isso, realizou-se a investigação de sua obra a partir da herança daquela tradição desde seu momento inicial, na década de 1930, quando foi fundada por Max Horkheimer e seus colaboradores do Instituto de Pesquisa Social de Frankfurt, passando por suas reformulações e críticas nas décadas subsequentes, das quais as mais destacadas foram as de Jürgen Habermas. Desta forma, foi possível procurar as relações de ruptura e continuidade entre o modelo teórico desenvolvido por Honneth e a tradição teórica à qual ele reivindica filiação. No segundo momento, foi o próprio modelo de Honneth que esteve em pauta, com especial destaque para sua reconstrução da tipologia desenvolvida por Hegel para a idéia de reconhecimento. Este movimento, central para a teoria do reconhecimento, desemboca nas tipologias do reconhecimento (amor, direitos e estima social) e do desrespeito (violência, negação de direitos e desrespeito social), que representam, segundo o autor, relações sociais pautadas por expectativas normativas dos sujeitos envolvidos. Quando estas são descumpridas, é desencadeada uma luta por reconhecimento. Por fim, após a análise da construção do modelo de Honneth, também este foi confrontado com algumas das críticas e objeções que suas idéias levantam, por meio do estudo de seu debate com Nancy Fraser e sua teoria da redistribuição, a fim de abrir perspectivas para uma avaliação mais ampla sobre as possibilidades de reconstrução da Teoria Crítica / Abstract: The theme of this dissertation is the reconstruction of the Critical Theory of Society through the formulation of a model of theory of recognition by the German philosopher and sociologist Axel Honneth. For that, it was made an investigation of his work grounded in the heritage Honneth received from that tradition, as founded in the 1930s by Max Horkheimer and his colleagues of the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, and also in the revisions and critics to Critical Theory in subsequent decades, mainly those of Jürgen Habermas. Thus, it was possible to find the relations of rupture and continuity between the theoretical model developed by Honneth and the theoretical tradition to which he claims affiliation. Later, the model of Honneth itself was the subject of the investigation, with particular emphasis on its reconstruction of the typology developed by Hegel to the idea of recognition. This movement, central to the theory of recognition, leads to the typologies of recognition (love, rights and solidarity) and disrespect (violence, denial of rights and denigration or insult), which represent, according to the author, social relations guided by normative expectations of the subjects involved. When these are disrespected, comes to field a struggle for recognition. Finally, after examining the construction of Honneth's model, this also was confronted with some of the criticisms and objections that their ideas brought to social debates, through the study of his discussion with Nancy Fraser and her theory of redistribution in order to open a debate about the present forms of reconstructing Critical Theory / Mestrado / Teoria Sociológica / Mestre em Sociologia

No. of bitstreams: 1 Protasio_LuisFernando_M.pdf: 2079799 bytes, checksum: b780b8bdf5be46864de9844132593e06 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: No contexto teórico contemporâneo dos estudos da linguagem e, em particular, dos estudos da tradução, os discursos produzidos e difundidos parecem cada vez mais deferir em favor da precariedade das distinções absolutas que marcariam aquilo que, classificado como sistemático, tradicional, clássico, convencional, exigiria, portanto, uma postura salvadora. Projetados fundamentalmente a partir dos modelos da filosofia continental, esses discursos atribuem ao século 20 a superação dessas distinções (teoria e prática, corpo e espírito, original e tradução) e o apagamento das fronteiras que, nessa leitura, ameaçariam o sucesso do sagrado projeto democrático. Entretanto, ao renunciar às fronteiras e revogar as distinções, criando um espaço ambíguo transterritorial fundado na coincidência primordial de identidades legítimas (em certo sentido, o espaço ocupado pela Linguística Aplicada e pretendido pelos Translation Studies), o que se produz, na maioria das vezes, é um discurso totalitário que coloca ênfase naquilo que supõe abandonar, isto é, sublinha o mecanismo da proibição e repete (reproduz) a lógica da simbolização que presume renunciar. Considerado esse contexto, a proposta deste trabalho é pensar, a partir da experiência da escritora canadense Nancy Huston, o estatuto da autotradução como uma prática que (1) interdita os discursos totalitários dos estudos da linguagem e dos estudos da tradução produzidos contemporaneamente e (2) desponta como um performativo que divulga os limites teóricos de quaisquer modelos em que a ética comparece como um espaço institucionalizado de sacralização da diferença e de comemoração da exceção / Abstract: The produced and spread discourse in the contemporary theoretical context of language studies - and particularly of translation studies - seems to more and more grant in favor of the precariousness of the absolute distinctions. Being classified as systematic, traditional, classical, and conventional, distinctions such as theory and practice, body and spirit, original and translation would mark what would require a redeeming approach. Designed fundamentally from the models of continental philosophy, such discourses ascribe to the 20th century the overcoming of the aforementioned distinctions, and the erasing of the boundaries which, accordingly, would threaten the success of the sacred democratic project. However, once boundaries are renounced and distinctions are revoked, an ambiguous, transterritorial space founded on the primordial coincidence of legitimate identities arises - in a sense, the space occupied by Applied Linguistics and intended by Translation Studies. Consequently, most of the time what is produced is a totalitarian discourse that emphasizes what it supposedly abandons, i.e., highlights the prohibition mechanism and repeats (reproduces) the presumably disowned logic of symbolization. Acknowledging such context, and taking into account the experience of Canadian writer Nancy Huston, this study considers the status of self-translation as a practice that (1) interdicts the totalitarian discourses of both language and translation studies contemporarily produced, and (2) arises as performative practice that exposes the theoretical limits of any models in which ethics appears as an institutionalized space of both sacralization of difference and celebration of exception / Mestrado / Teoria, Pratica e Ensino da Tradução / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

Notre étude s’intéresse à l’agence André entre 1929 et 1973, période d’activité des frères Jacques et Michel André, architecte et ingénieur. Nous interrogeons leur production dans son contexte spatial et historique, à la lumière des notions de filiations et de réseaux. Issus d’une importante dynastie d’architectes en Lorraine, ils bénéficient d’un héritage à la fois matériel et intellectuel. Cet ancrage, soutenu par la foisonnante École de Nancy du début du siècle, favorise les réseaux de proximité comme les échanges culturels internationaux. Les frères André prolongent ce dynamisme critique en s’impliquant dans le Comité Nancy-Paris,l’Union des artistes modernes et la revue L’Architecture d’aujourd’hui. Dans l’Entre-deux guerres,ils sont les premiers architectes à collaborer durablement avec Jean Prouvé, avant d’associer à l’agence Claude, le fils de ce dernier, dans les années 1960. Proche des entrepreneurs locaux, les deux frères questionnent la valeur constructive de l’architecture :ils s’attachent à atteindre la perfection technique et expérimentent les matériaux. Cette recherche traverse leur production, depuis leur première grande réalisation, l’Institut de zoologie, inspiré par les procédés de Frank Lloyd Wright, jusqu’au musée de l’Histoire du fer,symbole de gloire industrielle régionale. Tandis que les années 1930 constituent une période d’intense créativité, l’agence développe après-guerre les outils nécessaires pour faire face à une commande massive, notamment postale, et se met en quête de productivité. L’agence des frères André constitue ainsi un témoin privilégié des bouleversements de la production architecturale au cours du XXème siècle. / Our study focuses on the André agency between 1929 and 1973, period of activity of thebrothers Jacques and Michel André, architect and engineer. We question their production inits spatial and historical context, in the light of the notions of filiation and networks. Comingfrom a large dynasty of architects in Lorraine, they benefit from both material and intellectuallegacy. This rooting, supported by the teeming École de Nancy in the early century,promotes close networks as well as international cultural exchanges. The André brothersextend this critical dynamic by getting involved in the Comité Nancy-Paris, the Union desartistes modernes (UAM) and the L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui magazine. During the Interwarperiod, they were the first architects to work sustainably with Jean Prouvé, before associatingClaude, the son of the later, to the agency in the 1960s. Close to local building contractors,the two brothers question the constructive value of architecture: they focus on reaching ontechnical perfection and experimentation on materials. This research goes through theirproduction, since their first major achievement, the Institute of Zoology, inspired by FrankLloyd Wright’s processes, to the museum of iron history, symbol of the region's industrialglory. While the 1930s are a period of creativity, the agency develops postwar the toolsneeded to face intense order, in particular postal, and shifts toward a quest for productivity.The André agency thus constitutes a privileged witness to the upheavals of architecturalproduction during the 20th century.

This dissertation provides insight into the compositional characteristics of Paul Lansky's instrumental works as demonstrated in Hop (1993). As well, this document intends to make Hop more approachable to performers through a structural, harmonic, and rhythmic analysis. This dissertation presents a brief overview of Lansky's biographical information, discusses background information about Marimolin (the ensemble that premiered the piece), and provides an analysis of Hop. Hop is analyzed with regard to form, harmony, and rhythm. The analysis was conducted through a tonal approach, and harmonies are identified with a lead sheet analysis. Personal interviews with Paul Lansky and marimbist Nancy Zeltsman provided significant insight into Lansky's influences, musical characteristics, as well as other elements pertaining to Hop.

This dissertation exposes the status of eros in the works of Levinas, Irigaray, and, Nancy. I begin by evaluating Levinas’s phenomenological analyses of eros in Time and the Other and Totality and Infinity. In order to fully appreciate this, however, I must necessarily also provide a summary overview of the central theme which guides Levinas’s work: ‘the Other.’ This leads Levinas to develop ethics as first philosophy, which in turn implies that the reduction of the Other to the same is the unethical gesture par excellence. Levinas formulates eros as the ‘equivocal par excellence’; a profane relation with the radical alterity of the feminine. Eros, for Levinas, inevitably lapses back to the economy of the same, and hence he looks to paternal fecundity to understand a relation with alterity untainted by erotic sensuality. Moreover, I identify the themes in Levinas’s work which guide this dissertation: the plurality of being, the tactility of erotic caressing, transcendence in eros, sexual difference, the affair between love and death, revisiting Plato’s Symposium, and, the erotic relationship with alterity. Having exposed these themes, and pre-empting a feminist critique of Levinas, I move on to the work of Luce Irigaray. After contextualising Irigaray’s feminist project, I expose and evaluate her critical reading of Levinas, particularly in her essay “The Fecundity of the Caress.” For Irigaray, Levinas mistakenly assumes a universal masculine subject, which in turn denies the feminine (and thus empirical women) a chance to be subjects. The fact that Levinas considers eros profane suggests, for Irigaray, that Levinas’s phenomenology of eros is haunted by a patriarchal bias evinced in the way he turns to paternity to salvage eros from a damnable carnality. Irigaray, in contrast, asserts eros as a relationship between the two real poles of sexual alterity. Eros thus holds potential as a just relation between the sexes. However, I find that Irigaray’s insistence on the biological markers of sexual difference becomes somewhat too idealistic. When compared with one another, Irigaray and Levinas arrive at an impasse which is solved by turning to the work of Jean-Luc Nancy. Nancy insists that love (including eros) cannot be thought as anything but an indefinite multiplicity. Nancy’s thought on love reflects his formulation of ‘being-singular-plural,’ an ontology which asserts ‘being-with’ is axiomatic in all philosophical investigations. In Shattered Love, Nancy deconstructs dialectics in order to show that love does not operate in a dialectical fashion. Both Levinas’s and Irigaray’s accounts of eros are exposed as dialectical. Nancy, in contrast, formulates love and sex/gender as the exposure of a subject to the relation with the other. Moreover, by examining Nancy’s thought on the body, eros can be derived as subtending all relations between sexed bodies. Thus Nancy figures eros as neither ideal nor profane, nor does he restrict eros to an ideal relation between the masculine and the feminine. However, Nancy’s opaque philosophy is not without fault. Although Nancy offers an interesting way in which to think eros, certain avenues of thought remain unexplored. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Philosophy / unrestricted

The purpose of this thesis was to gain an insight into the macrobotanical subsistence practices of Nancy Patterson Village and see how those practices fit in with the practices of the general Mesa Verde region by analyzing the burnt macrobotanical remains found in processed flotation samples. Previous work done at Nancy Patterson Village showed a shift in the faunal subsistence practices to a greater reliance on domesticated turkey during the Pueblo III period. However, the macro botanical analysis showed a higher richness of wild plant taxa in the Pueblo III period when compared to Pueblo II. The change to a higher richness of plant taxa in the later period is attributed to the changes in social and environmental climates causing difficulties in sustaining the population. These difficulties pushed the inhabitants to expand their selection of plant types used for food. Despite the higher richness of plant taxa in Pueblo III, other sites from the Central Mesa Verde region had higher richness. However, Nancy Patterson Village used the smaller number of wild plants types more intensely than the other sites from the region. No explanation was found to explain this difference.

Hybrides de l'entreprise romanesque et de l'entreprise de traduction, les romans Plainsong et Cantique des Plaines de Nancy Huston posent à la fois le problème de la langue et celui du genre, mais plus encore sans doute celui de la littérarité. La présente étude visera à démontrer que l'auto-traduction chez Nancy Huston ne se limite pas à un simple processus de discontinuité (discontinuité chronologique quant à la genèse même de l'œuvre - discontinuité linguistique quant aux choix de langues effectué par l'auteure), mais qu'elle se révèle davantage un processus singulier, continu, qui caractérise le travail d'écriture dans ce qu'il de plus original et de plus personnel. / At the crossroads of novel writing and translation, Nancy Huston's novels Plainsong and Cantique des plaines bring up simultaneously the issues of language and gender, but perhaps, even more so, the problem of literarity. This study will tend to demonstrate that Nancy Huston's self-translation cannot be reduced to a simple discontinuous process concept (discontinuous chronologically through the very making of the novel - discontinuous through the author's use of different languages), but rather points to a quite singular and continuous process, which is the expression of a most personnal and original style.
