La presente tesis define un modelo teorico de lectura de la obra li­rica de Olga Orozco. Se parte de la comprension de la arquitectura poetica de la autora argentina como proyeccion estetica de los presupuestos del pensamiento moderno; sin embargo, a esta aseveracion se contrapone, a modo de comparacion y de contraste, el entramado conceptual de un analisis estetico de la posmodernidad, principalmente aquel que se ajusta a la propuesta de Hassan (The Posmodern Turn, 1987). Se intenta con ello generar una estructura teorica convergente capaz de enriquecer las interpretaciones tradicionales, las cuales insisten en la idea de una poetica orozquiana como gnosis o como enmascaramiento simbolico-verbal de lo autobiografico. Ello ocurre en los casos de Melanie Bowman Occultism, Gnosticism, and Feminine Archetype in the poetry of Olga Orozco (1995) y Elba Torres de Peralta La poetica de Olga Orozco (1987), respectivamente.El analisis hermeneutico es la red teorica que organiza todo este esfuerzo interpretativo; dicha formulacion cri­tica, y particularmente la hermeneutica filosofica de Hans-Georg Gadamer, busca la asimilacion de horizontes diferenciados en un solo esfuerzo de lectura al que suele denominarse de horizontes coincidentes o fusionados. De tal manera que el proceso de análisis aqui­ descrito y explicado no es de naturaleza abierta y relativa, sino que busca ajustarse al poema como obra arti­stica sujeta a interpretacion y justificacion dentro de un contexto historico e ideologico determinado.En terminos generales, esta tesis persigue cumplir dos funciones: la primera, recien mencionada, enriquecer la lectura de la obra li­rica de la poeta argentina; la segunda, establecer un precedente en la instrumentacion de analisis textual, promoviendo la supresion del hiato entre modernidad y posmodernidad y alegando que esta ultima no es la negacion de la primera, sino su mas acabada actualizacion historica.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the life and piano teaching of Olga Samaroff in order to determine her contribution to American music.The sub-problems were to survey the important influences upon her life; examine her association with wealthy patrons, concert managers, and conductors; scrutinize her personal relationship with Leopold Stokowski; define and discuss her piano teaching method; assess her application of it with a cross section of students; and reveal the problems that her method encountered.Olga Samaroff (San Antonio, Texas, 8 August 1882-New York, 17 May 1948), christened Lucie Mary Olga Agnes Hickenlooper, first studied piano with her grandmother, Mrs. Lucie Loening Grunewald. Grunewald emphasized the importance of recreating accurately the composer's text. Much of Samaroffs teaching method evolved from her early training with Grunewald.Samaroff, the first American female to win a scholarship at the Paris Conservatoire, entered it in 1896. Studies in Berlin (1898-1900) followed with Ernst Jedlickza and Ernest Hutcheson. In Paris and Berlin, Samaroff personally expE!rienced a slavish attitude towards musicaltradition, and later eschewed such adherence to any single school or style.Her first marriage (1900) to a Russian named Boris Loutzky subsequently caused her to settle in St. Petersburg (now Leningrad). After leaving Loutzky in 1904, Samaroff returned to the US and began her concert career. The vicissitudes of her career presented her with first hand experience. Samaroff withdrew several times from the concert stage, retiring officially in 1926 due to an arm injury. In the meantime, she married and later divorced conductor Leopold Stokowski_(1911-23), whose rehearsal technique she cited as an important influence on her teaching.She began teaching at the newly established Juilliard Graduate School in 1924. She also taught at the Philadelphia Conservatory (1924-48).Samaroff s two-part approach of artistic independence and human development contrasted with the artist-coach method of other prominent teachers of the day. Her students were surveyed about the efficacy of her teaching. In addition Samaroffs own files and personal correspondence, hitherto unavailable, are included as evidence in support of this author's findings. / School of Music

Syftet för denna uppsats är att undersöka om och i så fall vilken plats mindre konstnärshem kan ha i en landsbygdskommun. Genom en fallstudie av Bengtsfors kommuns hantering av det donerade konstnärhemmet Birkfeldtska villan har deras förvaltningsarbete kartlagts. Vad kan ha påverkat förvaltningen samt varför har kommunen agerat som de gjort, är frågor som diskuteras. Arkivmaterial och intervjuer har legat till grund för undersökningen tillsammans med en mindre litteraturgenomgång. Resultatet visar att Birkfeldtska villan gick från att anses vara bevarandevärd till att bedömas inte fylla en funktion. Hanteringen av gåvan tycks påverkats av brist på intresse och kunskap samt ekonomiska resurser. Dessa tre faktorer kan vara en utmaning inom landsbygdskommunernas arbete med kulturarvet. / The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether, and if so, what place smaller artists' homes can have in a rural municipality. Through a case study of Bengtsfors municipality's handling of the donated artists' home Birkfeldtska villan, their management work has been mapped. What may have influenced the administration and why the municipality acted as they did, are questions that are being discussed. Archive material and interviews have formed the basis of the investigation together with a small literature review. The result shows that the Birkfeldtska villan went from being considered worth preserving to not being deemed to fulfill a function. The management of the gift seems to be affected by a lack of interest and knowledge as well as financial resources. These three factors can be a challenge within the rural municipalities' work with cultural heritage.

Procura evidenciar o período de mobilidade dos assentados enquanto estiveram vivendo em acampamentos organizados pelo Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), em busca da terra para trabalhar e viver dignamente com a família. As principais metodologias empregadas baseiam-se em revisão bibliográfica e fontes orais alcançadas em trabalho de campo. O Assentamento Olga Benário está localizado no município de Ipameri (GO), é composto por oitenta e quatro famílias que vivem em parcelas com área média de trinta e dois hectares cada. A maioria dos assentados é oriunda do estado de Goiás e estiveram de lá para cá e daqui pra li até chegarem ao Assentamento Olga Benário. Foram anos vivendo em acampamentos. Aqueles camponeses lutaram pela terra, mesmo sendo terra distante daquelas onde viviam com seus familiares e de onde foram expulsos um dia. Aqueles trabalhadores se puseram em marcha até chegar ao Assentamento Olga Benário. É nesta direção que se procura abordar e conhecer a trajetória dos sujeitos desta pesquisa. O modo itinerante que os camponeses do Olga Benário viveram durante o longo período em que estiveram na luta. Os acampamentos se constituem em espaços de vivência e, ao mesmo tempo, lugar de luta dos que buscam resgatar a condição camponesa, possível com o acesso e posse da terra. A luta dos assentados do Olga Benário agora é para permanecer na terra, tendo em vista a dureza do labor, agravada pela falta de políticas públicas adequadas para os assentamentos.

This thesis focuses on Olga Krijtova (1931-2013), an important figure in the academic field of Dutch studies in the Czech Republic and a prolific translator of Dutch literature into Czech language. She played a major role in introducing Dutch literature to the Czech cultural context and the thesis focuses on examining the influence of communist ideology and her own literary taste and preferences on her translations, which have deeply influenced the whole image of Dutch literature in the Czech culture. These aspects are examined by analysing her peritexts, several translations and epitexts, all of which shed further light on the nature of Krijtova's contributions to the image of Dutch literature in the Czech culture. Furthermore, the obtained data are interpreted through Toury's norms in translation. Key words: Olga Krijtova, literary translations, ideology, paratexts analysis, Dutch literature

My aim with this essay was to write about bordercrossing and border changing in Olga Tokarczuk’s literary work with the main focus on her novel Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead. While writing I came to the conclusion that there are very many different sorts of border changing in the novel, for example borders between countries, borders between fiction and reality, indistinct borders, borders between identities and borders in time and space. However, one distinct bordercrossing, that I had not anticipated, emerged very clearly: the border changing when it comes to genre. Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead characterizes as a detective story, but the more you read the novel, the more you realize, that other themes might be more important than the puzzle. This book holds above all eco fiction and posthumanism. By crossing different borders Olga Tokarczuk has transformed an illusory detective story to a nuanced novel about human life on various levels and in different spaces, about human view on animals and about hunters’ disrespect for animals.
