O trabalho aqui proposto consiste na realização de uma leitura de O Lustre, de Clarice Lispector, publicado em 1946 e uma de suas obras menos estudadas pela crítica. O segundo romance da autora narra a história de Virgínia, moça do campo que cresce no casarão da família, localizado nas terras de Granja Quieta. Após atingir a idade adulta, a personagem parte para a cidade grande. Nosso foco está em estudar aspectos da configuração de Virgínia que persistem e são retomados, ao longo do enredo, por meio de sonhos, devaneios e lembranças, com especial atenção para os traços do passado que retornam e permanecem, com alterações, no presente. Nessa direção, quando a estrutura do texto permitir, aspectos teóricos da psicanálise, analogicamente, serão de grande valia para sua interpretação. Além disso, outras questões importantes e recorrentes na obra de Clarice Lispector serão abordadas, tais como a morte, a infância, o desejo e, no que diz respeito à estrutura da narrativa, o modo como o narrador muitas vezes assume o ponto de vista da personagem, confundindo-se com ela. / This research aims to analyse O lustre, by Clarice Lispector, published in 1946 and one of her works less studied by critics. The authors second novel tells the story of Virginia a countryside girl who grows up in the family mansion, located in the grounds of Granja Quieta. After reaching adulthood, the character part to the big city. Our focus is on studying aspects of Virginias configuration that persist and are retaken along the plot, through dreams, daydreams and memories, with special attention to the traces of the past that return and remain, with changes, in the present. In this direction, when the structure of the text permits, theoretical aspects of psychoanalysis, by analogy, will be of great value for its interpretation. In addition, other important and recurring issues in the Clarice Lispectors work will be addressed, such as death, childhood, desire and, concerning the narrative structure, the way the narrator often takes the point of view of character, confusing himself with her.

The purpose of this degree project is to describe and analyze how pre-school teacher´s didactically arrange different music activities in the work. To gain understanding and the importance of music didactics in preschool. The study was conducted using qualitative interviews through phenomenographical methodology in which six preschool teachers were interviewed. The theoretical background is based on music didactics, musicking and variation theory. The music activities in preschool rarely follow any form of didactic planning, focus is usually on another subject area, mostly language and the subject of music end on second place. There is a vision that the music subject should end in the first place, and that it requires a greater commitment and prioritization of time from the preschool teachers. The dreams and visions that exist for the music activities are about having access to a room like a studio where material in different forms of musical instruments is available. Another dream among preschool teachers is to gain more competence development and inspiration. Another vision is that the children should be challenged more and have the opportunity to explore the music subject further. Preschool teachers have different deductions for different subjects and usually it is in the staff that has the most musical skills that are responsible for the music activities. / Syftet med detta examensarbete är att beskriva och kartlägga hur pedagogerna didaktiskt tänker kring olika musikaktiviteter i verksamheten. För att åka förståelse och betydelsen kring musikdidaktiken i förskolan. Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer genom fenomenografisk metodansats där sex stycken förskollärare intervjuades. Den teoretiska bakgrunden utgår ifrån musikdidaktik, musicking och variationsteorin.Undersökningens resultat visar att musikaktiviteterna i förskolan sällan följer någon form av didaktisk planering då fokus vanligen är på ett annat ämnesområde som mestadels är språk och musikämnet hamnar i andra hand. Det finns en vision om att musikämnet ska hamna i första hand och att det då krävs ett större engagemang och prioritering av tid hos förskollärarna. De drömmar och visioner som finns för musikaktiviteterna handlar om att ha tillgång till ett rum likt en studio där material i olika former utav musikinstrument finns tillgängligt. En annan dröm hos förskollärarna är att få mer kompetensutbildning och inspiration. En vision som finns är att barnen ska utmanas mer och få chans att utforska musikämnet vidare. Förskollärarna har olika engagemang för olika ämnesområden och vanligen är det den i personalstyrkan som har mest musikalisk kompetens som får ansvaret för musikaktiviteterna.

L'Éthique de Spinoza est traversée par une tension entre la centralité reconnue au corps sur le plan théorique et sa relative marginalisation sur le plan textuel. D'un côté, l'Éthique affirme explicitement l'impossibilité de séparer la connaissance que nous avons de l'esprit de celle que nous avons du corps. C'est pour cette raison que la deuxième partie de cette œuvre − dédiée à la nature et à l'origine de l'esprit − confère au corps le rôle de protagoniste dans la longue section textuelle que l’on a coutume d'appeler "Abrégé de physique". D'un autre côté, la volonté d'indiquer au lecteur la voie qui peut le conduire à la liberté et au bonheur « de l'esprit » impose à tout l'exposé spinozien une perspective tendanciellement mentale, dans laquelle la présence du corps se dissipe pour devenir plus disséminée et feutrée. Le but de ma thèse est d’aborder le défi interprétatif induit par ce jeu de présences et d’absences, de dits et de non-dits, et de restaurer la centralité du corps dans le système spinozien en reconstruisant les usages et les significations des références à la corporéité qui sont éparpillées tout le long du texte. À cette fin, mon enquête commence par l'éclaircissement de la tâche assignée à l'Abrégé de physique (Introduction). Elle se poursuit le long de trois itinéraires qui serpentent autour des notions de « individuum » (Section I), « motus spontaneus corporis » (Section II), « fabrica » et « constitutio » (Section III). Elle s’achève sur l'analyse de la fonction cachée du corps et de sa durée dans l'« amour intellectuel de Dieu ». / Scattered throughout the Ethics of Spinoza is the tension between the centrality afforded to the theoretical recognition of the body and its relative textual marginalization. On the one hand, the Ethics explicitly asserts the impossibility of separating our knowledge of the mind from that of the body. For that reason, the second part of theEthics – dedicated to the nature and the origin of the mind – confers on the body the role of a protagonist in the long textual section. On the other hand, the desire to lead readers toward freedom and happiness “of the mind” imposes on all Spinozian philosophy a tendential mental perspective in which the presence of the body becomes more dispersed and blurred. The purpose of my dissertation is to approach the interpretative challenge inferred by this duality of presences and absences, of the said and the unsaid, and to restore the centrality of the body in the Spinozian system by reconstructing the argumentative functions and the rethoric strategies through which the references to corporeity appear in the text.To this end, my inquiry begins with the clarification of the task assigned to the so-called 'Summary of Physics' (Introduction). It then takes up three independent but intertwining directions around the notions of “individuum” (Section I) “motus spontaneous corporis” (Section II), “fabrica” and “constitutio” (Section III) to terminate with an analysis of the hidden role of the body and its duration in the “intellectual love of God.” Each of these routes addresses certain hitherto little studied details that form part of the “minor lexicon” of Spinozian philosophy, to restore the conceptual network to which they belong and to enlighten their systematic meaning.

Serendipity – Att söka en sak, och finna någon annan. Det är mötet mellan ett medvetet och ett undermedvetet skapande som tagit form ur drömmar och konkreta tankar. Det handlar om det som får ske i huvudet när en inte anstränger sig eller har försvarsmekanismen på som i den vakna vardagen – och inte heller försöker leva upp till föreställningar och förväntningar. Det handlar om att hitta det som inte syns, bara det som känns. Det innersta som bara är. Det är saker som är glömt, eller gömt. Som hamnat i skymundan, saker som förlagts. Förlorats. Som upplevts, förbrukats. Åter funnet, åter brunnen. / Serendipity – To go in search of one thing, to find another. It’s about what is allowed to take place in the mind when one doesn’t make an effort or have their defence mechanism switched on, as in the awake everyday life – and not when trying hard to live up to others’ conceptions and expectations. I show a meeting between conscious and subconscious creating, which takes shape from dreams and physical thoughts. My work is about searching for what usually doesn’t show, and instead finding how it feels. The innermost that exists. I twist and screw up reality and recreate an alternative world. I make an abstract version where surface and structures are central. I work with intuition and energy, where the starting point for my process is a reality in the shape of something already existing, an experience that took place, or a real object. I reuse its form or function. An experience can be a dream that took place in the mind, a happening where reality and fiction have met. I collect stories from memories as a way to get a second chance to catch something that already went by. It’s about time, waiting, loss, longing and expectations – dreams that reflect into new shapes of reality, like going on a search for days that escaped.

This thesis provides the findings of an explanatory case study that utilized elements of ethnographic research to discover effective evangelistic methods being practiced among Palestinian Muslims in the West Bank. With the assistance of gatekeepers, twenty-four former Muslims were asked to explain how they were evangelized, with a particular focus on evangelistic methodology, the barriers to faith the respondents encountered, solutions to those barriers, and motivations to consider conversion. This qualitative study follows the research model of Thom Rainer (2001) by asking those who have actually converted to describe the things that were helpful in the process of their coming to faith. For a theoretical framework it utilizes a nuance of McKnight’s (2002) theory of conversion with an emphasis on crisis providing an intersection of the natural and supernatural for the purpose of conversion. This thesis investigates examples of effective evangelism within the context of the West Bank, giving thorough consideration to Palestinian Nationalism and Islam as overarching cultural influences. It considers fruitful practices being practiced globally among Muslims, comparing those with what was found being practiced in the West Bank. The advocates represented in this report were primarily Palestinians born and raised in the West Bank, with the exception of three messianic Jewish Israelis and an American missionary. Additionally, they were evangelicals who generally utilized a contextually sensitive, traditional mission approach rather than an Insider model. The end result is a knowledge base that can be helpful for future evangelism of Muslims in the West Bank or other similar contexts. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Science of Religion and Missiology / unrestricted

The purpose of the study is through life interviews examine how older women talk about their lives, how dreams, life choices and self-understandings are formed and renegotiated in relation to social norms and structures. The study is based on interviews with six different women. The empirical focus of the study is women born and raised in the countryside of Västerbotten, Sweden during the 1930’s and 1940’s. The analysis of the material is based on narrative perspective, with inspiration from the theory of performativity, an intersectional understanding of gender, age, social class and place. The results of the study show that identity can be understood as part of a narrative construction and that the way the life-story is structured interacts with age. In the narrative, memories are given a certain meaning and are presented as central to the whole course of life's entirety. In the women's narrative, it has become clear that the dreams that are formulated are largely the result of intersectional factors; gender, class, age and place, and that dreams are constructed in relation to one's own self-understanding. Many of the women express a satisfaction with the life that has been, but there are also dreams that have continued to function as an alternative narrative to the life that is lived. Some dreams still have a chance to come true, while others act a "what if" next to the existence of life.

In September of 1894, John Hyrum Koyle, Jr., said that he was shown in a dream or vision a large, rich deposit of gold and an underground storehouse of artifacts hidden by people of Ancient America. This dream was the beginning of a mining venture which has never produced anything of value, has been opposed vigorously by both officials of the LDS Church and the State, yet has claimed supporters numbered in the thousands.The mine has profoundly affected (and continues to affect) the lives of many families who have come into the sphere of its influence. The lore of the mine, whether true or false, has been the main instrument in spreading this influence. This folklore has played an active part in three clearly demonstrable ways: the spreading of the Dream Mine sub-culture; the shaping of the attitudes toward the mine and its founder; and the development of stability in both the Mormon culture and the mine sub-culture.This study of mining folklore reveals that the Koyle Dream Mine has much in common with other "dream mines" in both the Mormon culture and in other cultures. Many mining ventures began through supernatural means, but relatively few of them have been successful. Lack of production has brought the demise of many such movements, though some, like Koyle's Dream Mine, remain viable in spite of the absence of paying ore.

Le trouble comportemental en sommeil paradoxal (TCSP) est caractérisé par des rêves intenses et une perte de l’atonie musculaire normalement présente au cours du sommeil paradoxal qui permet l’apparition de comportements oniriques isomorphiques au contenu des rêves. Quelques chercheurs ont étudié le contenu des rêves des patients atteints du TCSP, plusieurs ont trouvé une plus grande présence de thèmes menaçants et agressifs, d’autres ont obtenu des résultats plus mitigés. Ces études comportent des failles méthodologiques importantes, comme l’absence d’un groupe contrôle ou l’inclusion de patients consommant une médication psychoactive. La présence de rêves à caractère dysphorique a été associée, dans d’autres populations, à une psychopathologie marquée et à des difficultés émotionnelles, et cette association, quoiqu’inexplorée pourrait aussi être présente chez patients ayant un TCSP. La raison pour laquelle ces patients font des rêves plus dysphoriques est encore largement inconnue, de même qu’une partie des mécanismes qui génèrent les comportements oniriques. Le but du premier article de cette thèse était de mesurer l’alexithymie et la détresse des cauchemars chez les patients atteints du TCSP par rapport à des contrôles. Les résultats indiquent que les patients souffrent davantage d’alexithymie, et particulièrement d’une difficulté à identifier leurs émotions et qu’elle corrélait avec la détresse due aux cauchemars. Le second article estimait, à l'aide d'un questionnaire validé, la présence de rêves, la diversité des thèmes des rêves chez les patients et examinait leurs thèmes au cours de leur vie. Les patients rapportaient beaucoup plus de cauchemars et plus de thèmes à caractère menaçant, comme des agressions, des catastrophes, et des rêves où le rêveur a peu de contrôle. Le troisième article avait pour objectif de clarifier les écarts dans les résultats des études sur les rêves des patients, c'est-à-dire déterminer si l'agressivité rapportée par ces patients est vraiment une différence au niveau du contenu des rêves, ou s'il s'agit plutôt d'un problème dû à la détresse liée aux rêves. Un second objectif était de mesurer le degré de corrélation entre les comportements à l’éveil, comme les comportements miroirs, et les comportements oniriques chez les patients. L’article démontre que les patients ressentaient une plus grande détresse à l'éveil en lien avec leurs expériences oniriques et que leurs rêves étaient plus dysphoriques et contenaient plus d'anxiété. De plus, leurs résultats au questionnaire de comportements miroirs corrélaient avec la sévérité de leurs comportements oniriques, ce qui suggère que le système de neurones miroirs pourrait avoir une influence sur les manifestations de ces comportements chez les patients. Globalement, ces résultats suggèrent que des difficultés au niveau de la régulation émotionnelle pourraient expliquer à la fois les symptômes émotionnels à l’éveil et les difficultés nocturnes des patients. Nous suggérons qu'un déficit au niveau des régions régulatrices frontales pourrait être à la base des différentes difficultés éprouvées par les patients. De plus, il est possible que des anomalies au niveau du système de neurones miroirs aient à la fois un impact sur la capacité des patients à réguler leurs émotions, mais aussi sur les manifestations de comportements oniriques. / REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by vivid dreams and loss of muscle atonia usually present during REM sleep that allows the appearance of dream-enacting behaviors that are isomorphic to dream content. Several studies have examined the content of RBD patients’ dreams, many found a greater presence of threatening and aggressive themes, others obtained mixed results. Most studies had significant methodological shortcomings, such as a lack of a control group or the inclusion of patients taking psychoactive medication. Still, the presence of dysphoric dreams is associated with marked psychopathology and emotional regulation problems. Moreover, the reason why RBD patients have dysphoric dreams is largely unexplored, just as parts of the processes that generate the dream-enacting behaviors. The goal of the first article of this thesis was to measure alexithymia and nightmare distress among RBD patients compared to a control group. The results indicate that RBD patients suffer more from alexithymia, especially a greater difficulty in identifying their emotions and that this difficulty correlated with nightmare distress. The second article examined, using a validated questionnaire, the lifetime prevalences of patients’ typical dream themes, and estimated the presence of their dreams, nightmares and dream theme diversity. RBD patients reported significantly more nightmares than controls and more menacing themes, such as assaults, disasters, and where the dreamer lacks control. The third article was intended to clarify discrepancies in the results of studies on RBD dreams, that is, if the aggressiveness reported by patients is really a difference in dream content or rather a problem related to dream distress. A second objective was to measure the degree of correlations between waking-state behaviors such as mirror behaviors, and dream-enacting behaviours in RBD patients. RBD patients were found to have more dysphoric dreams, containing more anxiety. They were also feeling greater distress in reaction to their dream experiences than did controls. Moreover, their results on the mirror behavior questionnaire correlated with the severity of their dream-enacting behaviors, suggesting that the mirror neuron system could have an influence in the formation of these behaviors. Overall, these findings suggest that difficulties in emotional regulation could explain both patients’ daytime emotional symptoms (alexithymia, nightmare distress, depression, anxiety, fewer mirror behaviors) and nocturnal difficulties (nightmares and dysphoric dreams, threats in dreams). We suggest that a deficit in frontal regulatory regions could be the base of the different challenges faced by patients. More specifically, it is possible that abnormalities in the mirror neuron system have an impact on both patients' ability to regulate their emotions and the manifestation of dream-enacting behaviors.
