From allegory into symbol : revisiting George Orwell's Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four in the light of 21 st century views of totalitarianism

Pelissioli, Marcelo January 2008 (has links)
Os primeiros textos do escritor inglês George Orwell consideram o apelo do ideário comunista, ao passo que seus dois últimos romances, A Revolução dos Bichos (publicado em 1946) e 1984 (publicado em 1949) se contrapõem radicalmente a esse regime. Ao longo da segunda metade do século XX, foi-se estabelecendo a mística de uma forte ligação entre a obra de Orwell e o histórico do regime comunista, de modo que, com a queda do Comunismo, o desinteresse pelo assunto parece haver provocado uma diminuição no conceito dos méritos do escritor. O argumento da presente dissertação é que estamos frente a um momento nevrálgico no desenrolar da fortuna crítica de George Orwell, no qual a leitura alegórica feita até aqui deve ser substituída pela leitura simbólica, para que os textos do autor possam transcender à derrocada do movimento Comunista, sustentando-se na estética de sua literariedade e na atemporalidade de seu apelo ético. Em outras palavras, não é o texto de Orwell que precisa ser mudado, e sim, o ângulo de abordagem daqueles que constroem a fortuna crítica do autor, pois as referências temporais desgastadas diminuem a potencialidade interpretativa das obras. Um ponto comum que permanece, e que transpassa a obra literária de Orwell, é a opressão exercida por quaisquer sistemas políticos que possam ter atitudes consideradas totalitárias. Esta observação não remete apenas ao sistema comunista, mas também ao imperialista, ao autocrático, e até mesmo ao democrático. Orwell demonstra que um sistema não é totalitário por si só, mas através de suas atitudes em relação ao povo. Se, na época de seus lançamentos, a temática totalitária foi relacionada ao comunismo, tomando-se os textos como alegorias irreversíveis do discurso anti-comunista, a queda daquele regime, ou sua gradual abertura a práticas capitalistas, não basta para condenar as obras de Orwell ao anacronismo, descartando maiores possibilidades interpretativas. Ao propor uma releitura de A Revolução dos Bichos e 1984 substituindo as referências ao comunismo por qualquer tipo de prática totalitária — e concentrar o foco das observações no que é simbólico, ao invés de alegórico — acredito estar cumprindo minha parte neste processo de resgate da fortuna crítica de um escritor que considero ser um dos mais honestos e competentes de seu tempo. / The first texts of the English writer George Orwell approach the appeal of Communist views; however, his two last novels, Animal Farm (published in 1946) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (published in 1949) radically oppose this regime. Along the second half of the 20th century , strong bonds were established between Orwell’s works and the history of the Communist regime, however, with the fall of Communism, the lack of interest for the subject seems to have generated a diminution in the merits and recognition of the writer. The argumentation of this thesis is that we have been facing a central moment in the unfolding of George Orwell’s critical heritage, in which the allegorical reading done so far must be replaced by the symbolical reading, so that the texts of the author can transcend the fall of the Communist movement, supported by the esthetic of the literariety and atemporality of their ethic appeal. In other words, it is not the text of Orwell which must be changed, but the angle of the approach of those who build the author’s critical heritage, because outdated temporal references impair the interpretative possibility of the works. A remaining point that seems to cross all Orwell’s literary works is the oppression exerted by any political systems that can have attitudes considered totalitarian ones. This remark does not address only the Communist system, but also the Imperialist, the autocratic and even the Democratic ones. Orwell demonstrates that a system is not totalitarian on its own, but through its manifestations towards people. If, at the age of their launchings, the totalitarian theme was connected to Communism, taking the texts as irreversible allegories of the anti-Communist discourse, the fall of that regime, or its gradual opening to Capitalist practices, is not enough to condemn Orwell’s works to anachronism, discharging more comprehensive interpretative possibilities. I believe that, by proposing a new reading of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, replacing the references to Communism for references to any kind of totalitarian practice--, and concentrating the focus of the observation on what is symbolical – I will be doing my part in this process of rescuing the critical heritage of a writer who I consider one of the most honest and competent authors of his time.

What is the Meaning of Meaningless sex in Dystopia?

Leth, Corina January 2013 (has links)
The aim of this essay is to provide an answer to the question "What is the Meaning of Meaningless sex in Dystopia?". It will show that meaningful concepts such as sexual satisfaction, pleassure, passion, love, bonding, procreation and family are handled as threats in dystopian societies described in well-known novels as We, Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four . It will explain how the conflict between the collective and the individual influences peoples' sexuality. It will also show how leading powers in the three dystopian societies use different methods to remove the significanse and functions of sex. It will suggest meaningless sex is a means to control the masses in a collective and that meaningful sex is an act of rebelion against the state. / .

Reformas institucionais e financiamento de longo prazo na economia brasileira = discussões político-econômicas sobre o PAEG / Institutional reforms and long term funding in the brazilian economy : political and economical discussions about the P.G.E.A. (Project of Government Econoic Action)

A idéia, portanto, é examinar a elaboração e a implementação do projeto dos bancos de investimentos, uma vez que estas instituições apresentavam como objetivo o fornecimento de empréstimos de prazos dilatados para o setor produtivo. A evidência empírica revela a incapacidade das reformas do governo Castello Branco no tocante à expansão do financiamento de longo prazo doméstico privado. Os bancos de investimentos não se tornaram ofertantes de fundos de longo prazo, mas sim de capital de giro, atuando de forma semelhante às demais instituições financeiras nacionais. Esta dissertação pretende estudar as causas deste resultado. Conclui-se que a dinamização dos financiamentos privados de longo prazo não representava um interesse econômico prioritário para os grupos privados nacionais. Nas décadas de 60 e 70, a atratividade/lucratividade das operações financeiras de curto prazo à disposição do sistema bancário tendeu a reforçar a aversão histórica dos bancos nacionais aos riscos inflacionários associados às aplicações financeiras de prazo dilatado. No tocante ao setor produtivo, a vigência de alguns traços estruturais do desenvolvimento capitalista brasileiro, tais como a baixa propensão das empresas privadas ao uso de recursos de terceiros para financiar o investimento, consolidou dentre os setores industriais a seguinte percepção: a elaboração de mecanismos para o financiamento do capital fixo não representava um elemento essencial. Nesta visão, seria muito mais importante a dinamização das fontes de financiamento de capital de giro, garantindo a total ocupação da capacidade industrial existente na economia. Na arena política, o interesse dos banqueiros pela redução do prazo das operações financeiras encontrou correspondência nas reivindicações dos setores produtivos pela ampliação das fontes de crédito de capital de giro e ambas as pressões se reforçaram mutuamente. As demandas particulares dos banqueiros convergiram, sobretudo, para o Conselho Monetário Nacional. Já os setores industriais encontraram na locução ao presidente Castello Branco um mecanismo eficaz para a materialização dos seus interesses. O governo atendeu as reivindicações dos grupos privados; os bancos de investimentos foram deslocados para o mercado creditício de médio prazo destinado ao financiamento do capital de giro das empresas. Desta forma, o projeto governamental referente à dinamização do crédito privado de longo prazo foi abortado durante a fase de implementação das reformas financeiras do governo Castello Branco / Abstract: The aim of this manuscript is to better analyze the attempt from the first military government to construct a private and national nucleus of long term financing after the ?"Revolution of 1964". We sought to assess the formulation and implementation of the investment banks project, once these financial institutions had the purpose to provide long term loans to the industrial sector. However, the existent financial data points the inability of Brazilian Government's Reforms regarding the expansion of the domestic as well as private long term funding in the Brazilian economy. Investment banks did not become lenders of long term funding, but working capital lenders instead, operating similarly to the usual Brazilian financial institutions. The intent of this work is, hence, to study the causes behind this result. By analyzing the reminiscent data, it was possible to observe that the expansion of the long term funding sources did not represent a major economic priority to the Brazilian private groups. The appeal of short term financial operations available to the national financial system reinforced the tendency of the Brazilian banks' historical resistance to inflationary risks associated to such long term funding operations. In regards to the productive sector, some structural features related to national capitalist development, as the low propensity of private companies for use of third party funds to financial investment, consolidated among the industrial sector an important perception: that the development of a private and national nucleus of long term funding was not an essential issue. According to this argument, the expansion of working capital funding sources would be more important, ensuring full occupancy of the industrial capacity existing in the economy. In the political arena, the bankers' aspiration to shorten financial operations was correspondent to the demands of industrial sectors regarding the expansion of the working capital sources, so that these expectations reinforced each other. The bankers' particular demands converged to the National Monetary Council. The industrial entrepreneurs have found, in the direct access to President Castello Branco, an effective mechanism for realizing their interests. The Brazilian government, on the other hand, met these private pressures and the investment banks were reallocated to the medium-term credit market. These institutions consequently started to provide working capital funds to the private companies. As a result, the government project related to the expansion of the long terms funds in the Brazilian economy was aborted during the implementation of the Financial Reforms / Mestrado / Ciencia Politica / Mestre em Ciência Política

Le rôle du juge en Amérique Latine au XIXe siècle : entre tradition latino-américaine et influences étrangères

Sánchez Escobar, Cathalina 02 March 2012 (has links)
En Amérique latine le XIXe siècle se caractérise par l'indépendance des anciennes colonies espagnoles, par le processus de formation des État-Nation et par la reconstruction des ordres juridiques des nouveaux États. Une fois le modèle républicain adopté, il fallait créer des institutions juridiques nouvelles et un système normatif qui régule le destin des nouvelles sociétés en concordance avec la réalité locale et, surtout, le plus différent possible de l'ancien régime colonial. Dans toutes ces transformations les hommes de loi (avocats, juges, juristes, bureaucrates) ont joué un rôle important. En tant que propriétaires du savoir juridique et politique ils étaient les personnages idoines, pour effectuer la tâche d'organisation de l'État. Parmi ces tâches, la structuration de la justice était essentielle pour les nouveaux États. Montrer l'implication du juge dans ce processus de consolidation, est une des finalités de ce travail. D'autre part, la construction de l'imaginaire juridique latino-américain s'est réalisée sous l'influence des modèles juridiques étrangers, dont la France, l'Angleterre, les États-Unis. Dans un classicisme juridique particulier, la réception et la transformation de ces modèles a créé une conscience juridique locale originale et très différente du modèle initial en combinant l'exégèse française avec le conceptualisme allemand / The nineteenth century in Latin America is characterized by the independence of the former Spanish colonies, the formation process of nation-state and the reconstruction of legal systems of the new states. Once the republican model adopted, it was necessary to create new legal institutions and a legal system to regulate the destiny of new societies according to the local reality and, above all, as different as possible from the old colonial regime. In all these transformations the jurists (lawyers, judges, jurists, bureaucrats) have played an important role. As owners of legal and politic knowledge, they were the ones suitable to organize the state. Among this organization task, structuring the justice was essential for the new states. To show the implication of judges in this consolidation process is one of the purposes of this work. Besides, the construction of Latin American legal imaginary was carried out under the influence of foreign legal models, like France, Britain and the United States. In a special legal classicism, the reception and transformation of these models has created a proper legal consciousness, innovative and very different from the original model, combining French exegesis with German conceptualism / En América Latina, el siglo XIX se caracteriza por la independencia de las antiguas colonias españolas, el proceso de formación de los Estados-Nación y la reconstrucción de los ordenamientos jurídicos de los nuevos Estados. Una vez adoptado el modelo republicano, fue necesario la creación de instituciones jurídicas nuevas y un sistema normativo que regulara el destino de las nuevas sociedades conforme a la realidad local y, sobre todo, lo más distante posible del antiguo régimen colonial. En todas estas transformaciones, los hombres de ley (abogados, jueces, juristas y burócratas) tuvieron un papel importante ; como proprietarios del saber jurídico y político, fueron los personajes idóneos para realizar la tarea de organización del Estado. Dentro de esa tarea, la estructuración de la justicia fue fundamental para los nuevos Estados. Una de las finalidades de este trabajo es demostrar la implicación de los jueces en ese proceso de consolidación. Además, la construcción del imaginario jurídico latinoamericano se llevó a cabo bajo la influencia de modelos jurídicos extranjeros dentro de los cuales se destacan Francia, Alemania y Estados Unidos. La recepción y tranformación de dichos modelos dentro de un clasicismo jurídico particular, que combinaba la exégesis francesa y el conceptualismo alemán, generó una conciencia jurídica local original y muy diferente del modelo inicial

Faulkner na França : uma análise dos prefácios escritos às traduções dos livros de William Faulkner publicadas na França nos anos 30 / Faulkner in France : an analysis of the prefaces to William Faulkner's translated books published in France during the 1930's

O que está em primeiro plano não é uma leitura crítica do autor, e sim uma organização de leituras críticas anteriores. Ao fim do texto, é esboçada uma proposição acerca do apelo específico que Faulkner teve na França. Dos seis livros de Faulkner publicados durante os anos 30, cinco trazem prefácios. Esses textos são de autoria de figuras de grande influência no ambiente literário francês: os tradutores Maurice-Edgar Coindreau e René-Noël Raimbault, o crítico e escritor Valery Larbaud e o escritor, político e jornalista André Malraux. A partir das leituras propostas nesses prefácios, é possível tentar estabelecer uma relação entre o ambiente cultural da França e a obra de William Faulkner. Para estabelecer tal relação, este trabalho se divide em três partes, cada qual correspondendo a um de seus capítulos. Em primeiro lugar, faz-se uma análise do ambiente histórico e literário da França. Em segundo, uma leitura atenta dos prefácios é feita, levando-se em consideração também quem são seus autores. Por fim, o terceiro capítulo é um movimento de interpretação dos prefácios à luz da análise feita no primeiro capítulo / Abstract: The present dissertation aims at an understanding of the reader response to Faulkner in France. It is based both on a study of the mentioned prefaces and on an attempt to describe the literary and critical standards of the time. The main point here is not exactly a critical reading of the author's work in itself, but an effort of organizing earlier readings. This study is closed by a hypothesis about Faulkner's specific appeal to French readers. Five out of the six of Faulkner's books published during that time are prefaced, all of them by Frenchmen: translators Maurice-Edgar Coindreau and René-Noël Raimbault, literary critic and writer Valery Larbaud and politician, journalist and novelist André Malraux. A detailed analysis of these prefaces may be an effective strategy to establish a connection between Faulkner's work and the French cultural environment in which he is read. In order to effectively make such a connection, this dissertation has been divided in three parts, each of which corresponds to one of its chapters. In the first one, the literary and historical context of France is analyzed. In the second, a close reading of each of the prefaces is made, taking into account not only their words and references, but also their authors. In the third and last chapter, the prefaces are interpreted according to what had been exposed in the first chapter / Mestrado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

Between Precarity and Vitality: Downtown Dance in the 1990s

Wanner, Buck January 2021 (has links)
This dissertation examines experimental dance in New York City in the 1990s. Earlier periods of American concert dance have received significant scholarly attention to the historical, political, and aesthetic aspects of dance practice. Moreover, certain periods of modern dance — especially the 1930s and the 1960s — have been analyzed as moments of significant change, and the artists that emerged from the Judson Dance Theater in particular have held a significant place in the theorizing and historicizing of dance in the United States. However, experimental dance practices of the early 21st century demonstrate dramatically different aesthetics, approaches, and circumstances of production than those of earlier periods, including their Judson forebears. This project argues for understanding the 1990s as a period of significant change for dance, one with continuing resonance for the decades that follow.This project uses the term "downtown dance" to situate experimental dance in New York City as a community of practitioners, rather than as a particular set of aesthetic or artistic practices. Each of the four chapters focuses on an aspect in this period that would define how dance looked, how dancers practiced, and what shaped the artistic values and priorities of this community. The first chapter presents a history of the dance-service organization Movement Research. Tracing the history of the organization from its founding in 1978 through the establishment of its most influential programs in the 1990s — including the Movement Research Performance Journal and the performance series Movement Research at the Judson Church — the chapter locates Movement Research as a central entity in building the community and shaping theaesthetics of downtown dance. The second chapter examines the effects of the AIDS crisis on dance in the 1990s. As AIDS entered its second decade, it collided with and magnified downtown dance's complex relationship with emotion. This chapter draws on scholarship of AIDS' relationship to visual art, theater, and activism, as well as close readings of several works — by artists including Donna Uchizono, Neil Greenberg, John Jasperse, RoseAnne Spradlin, Jennifer Monson, and DD Dorvillier — most not generally understood as "AIDS dances," to argue that AIDS' impact generated a fundamental shift in the role of emotion in downtown dance. The third chapter examines how shifts in arts funding in the 1990s connected to a major restructuring in production models for dance. This chapter connects the history of the modern dance company with both aesthetic and economic developments over the course of the 20th century, arguing that the company should be understood as a combined economic-aesthetic system. Furthermore, the chapter demonstrates the new model for dance production that began to take hold in the 1990s in the wake of widespread funding and economic shifts: the project model. Teasing out the complex web of funding for dance, this chapter makes extensive use of dance periodicals; several funding trend analyses from organizations including Dance/USA, National Endowment for the Arts, Dance/NYC, and private corporate and foundation reports; and the archives of the presenting institution Danspace Project. The final chapter looks at how the shifts in economic models for dance discussed in the previous chapter connected to changes in training and bodily technique of dancers and performers. Specifically investigating the history of "release technique," this chapter examines how attitudes toward technique and training in downtown dance in the 1990s shifted the connection between movement practices and creative output, reconceiving the role of the dancer in the dancer-choreographer relationship.

The marriage between sciences and the state in George Orwell's Nineteen eighty-four, Anthony Burgess's A clockwork orange and Owen Gregory's Meccania: the superstate

Nineteen Eighty-Four de George Orwell, A Clockwork Orange d'Anthony Burgess et Meccania: The Superstate d'Owen Gregory révèlent trois régimes oppressifs qui manipulent la science dans le but de contrôler leurs populations. Les auteurs dénoncent la déshumanisation et l'esclavage générés par cette collaboration politico-scientifique. Ainsi, cette étude va explorer les dystopies susmentionnées en analysant leur critique du mariage politico-scientifique. Je vais montrer que la coopération entre les politiciens et les scientifiques est destinée à contrôler les individus et à pénaliser les éléments dissidents. Je vais examiner les mécanismes politico-scientifiques de surveillance et de punition, tout en montrant que les politiciens usent de la science pour assurer la continuité et la stabilité des régimes tyranniques. Finalement, je vais souligner la capacité de l'écriture à dévoiler les abus politico-scientifiques, et à prévenir une coalition entre la connaissance scientifique et le pouvoir despotique.
