Oblíquo e fortuito e ao mesmo tempo sutilmente fatal: o \'Kháos\' como instrumento literário em Água Viva, de Clarice Lispector / Oblique and random and at the same time subtly fatal: the \'Kháos\' as literary device in Água viva, from Clarice Lispector

Marcele Aires Franceschini 30 November 2009 (has links)
Esta pesquisa foca na natureza caótica e paradoxal de Água viva, de Clarice Lispector, obra publicada em 1973 pela editora Artenova. Entre os vários aspectos estudados, prezouse trabalhar com o conceito de Kháos empregado na Teogonia, de Hesíodo; bem como com as mais distintas visões da crítica de Lispector a respeito dos princípios de alteridade, de análise do objeto, da ruptura com o cronotopo e do abandono aos padrões romanescos. A autora luta por provar que a qualidade de sua obra está diretamente relacionada ao enfrentamento ontológico e à reflexão aprofundada, captada no momentoinstantâneo e transcrita em imagens no texto. Mais do que uma obra recheada de personagens, de farto enredo, de situações espáciotemporais e de diálogos, Água viva é uma narrativa livre de molduras, que erige para registrar a coragem literária de uma escritora que não teme trabalhar, sem rédeas ou convenções, com a matériaprima do pensamento. / This research focus on the chaotic and paradoxical nature of Água viva, from Clarice Lispector, published in 1973 by Artenova Books. Among innumerous aspects, it was settled the study of the concept of Kháos applied in the Theogony of Hesiod; as well as the most peculiar visions of the Lispectors critics in relation to the principles of alterity, the analysis of the object, the rupture of the chronotope, and the Romanesque patterns. The author struggles to prove that the quality of her book is directly related to the ontological questioning, and to the deep reflection, captured in the instantaneousmoment, afterwards transcribed into text images. Much more than a production filled with characters, plot, spacetime situations and dialogues, Água viva is a narrative free of frames, rising up to register the literary courage of a writer who does not fear to work with, free of leashes or conventions, the raw material of the thought.

Entretanto, por ser uma área em constante evolução, não existem modelos de processo de Engenharia Ontológica consolidados para a construção de uma ontologia. O uso de um processo de desenvolvimento torna esta tarefa mais impessoal, menos complexa e mais sistemática. A abordagem QDAontology - Quality Driven Approach for e-Science Ontologies, proposta nesta dissertação, foi elaborada para projetos de desenvolvimento de ontologias para e-Science. Nestas aplicações, as ontologias, em geral, se caracterizam por serem desenvolvidas por equipes multidisciplinares, onde os conteudistas pertencem à área do domínio da aplicação e os construtores são engenheiros ontológicos oriundos da Ciência da Computação. A abordagem proposta é composta por etapas, atividades, participantes, artefatos e características de qualidade. São seis etapas: Especificação, Conceitualização, Formalização, Implementação, Integração e Evolução. Cada etapa é constituída de atividades, em cada atividade são gerados artefatos e os participantes estão relacionados com as etapas e atividades do processo. A partir da evolução dos artefatos ocorre o desenvolvimento da ontologia. Com a implementação da ontologia a mesma deve ser integrada a outras ontologias, através de mecanismos de correspondência ontológica. O processo de desenvolvimento adotado é centrado em um modelo evolutivo e, portanto, os ciclos podem se repetir a cada evolução da ontologia. Para validar a proposta foi elaborado um estudo de caso no domínio biológico. O estudo constou de dois ciclos: no primeiro foi feita a reengenharia da ontologia CELO e no segundo sua expansão, no subdomínio Doenças Humanas. Todo o processo de modelagem do conhecimento e atuação da equipe multidisciplinar está detalhado e contou com o apoio de especialistas do domínio da Biologia. Para a correspondência ontológica foi adotado o mecanismo de alinhamento e construída a ferramenta A3O, que gera ligações e termos equivalentes entre ontologias descritas em OBO e OWL. / The use of ontologies in computational systems has become more important and spread out. However, as an area in constant evolution, it does not exist yet a consolidated process model of Ontological Engineering for ontology construction. The use of a development process makes this task more impersonal, less complex and more systematic. The QDAontology - Quality Driven Approach for e-Science Ontologies, proposed in this research, was developed for e-Science ontologies. In this kind of applications, ontologies are, in general, developed by multidisciplinary teams, where knowledge experts belong to the domain area and developers are ontological engineers from the Computer Science. This approach is composed of stages, activities, participants, artifacts and quality characteristics. There are six stages: Specification, Conceptualization, Formalization, Implementation, Integration and Evolution. Each stage is composed of activities, in each activity artifacts are generated and participants are related to process stages and activities. Based on the artifact evolution, the development of the ontology occurs. At implementation stage, the ontology must be then integrated to other ontologies through mechanisms of ontological correspondence. The development process is centered in an evolutionary model, therefore, the cycles can be repeated at each evolution of the ontology. To validate the proposal, a case study in the biological domain was done. The case study had two cycles: during the first one the reengineering process of the CELO ontology was made and in the latter the ontology was expanded with the Human Disease sub domain. All the knowledge modeling process and the multidisciplinary team tasks are detailed and they were supported by experts of the Biology domain. For the ontological correspondence, the alignment mechanism was adopted and the A3O tool was built to generate the equivalent links and terms between ontologies described in OBO and OWL

A partir de uma pesquisa teórico-bibliográfica, que privilegia especialmente algumas obras heideggerianas da década de 1920, a pesquisa mostra a compreensão de Heidegger sobre a relação entre filosofia, enquanto ciência ontológica, e teologia, enquanto ciência positiva da fé. Esta – e não Deus – é o “objeto” de estudo da teologia. A pesquisa é dividida em três momentos: o primeiro apresenta uma contextualização da diferença ontológica como pano de fundo para a relação entre as duas ciências; o segundo apresenta uma análise da conferência que ressalta seus pontos de distinção e, a partir daí, o terceiro momento demonstra que o modo como o texto foi redigido por Heidegger visa assinalar as diferenças entre filosofia e teologia. Neste caso, o intuito é evitar que a relação entre as duas ciências continue reproduzindo o esquecimento da diferença ontológica. / This work, The relation between Philosophy and Theology in the conference Phenomenology and Theology by Martin Heidegger, aims to demonstrate Heidegger’s conception that stablishes the connection between Philosophy and Theology utilizing scientific theories. Through a theoretical-bibliographical research that specifically privileges some of Heidegger’s works from the 1920s, this research shows Heidegger’s comprehension of the relation between Philosophy, as an ontological science, and Theology, as a positive science of the faith. This — not God — is Theology’s subject of study. The current research is divided into three moments: the first one represents a contextualization of the ontological difference as a backdrop for the relation between the sciences; the second one presents an analysis of the conference that highlights its distinctive points and, from then on, the third moment demonstrates that the way in which Heidegger wrote his text aims to mark the differences between Philosophy and Theology. In this case, the intention is to avoid that the relation between the two sciences continue to reproduce the forgetfulness of the ontological difference.

Smysl otázky po smyslu bytí: K interpretaci soupatřičnosti bytí a Ničeho v Heideggerově Was ist Metaphysik? / The Meaning of the Question of Being: An Interpretation of an intrinsic Connection between Being and the No-thing in Heidegger's What is Metaphysics?

Kvapil, Ondřej January 2015 (has links)
This paper deals, building on a ground defined by Heidegger's What is Metaphysics?, with a single question: in what sense do being and the no-thing belong together? This question is being addressed at two parallel levels. Based on a detailed interpretation of key text passages that have often been examined insufficiently due to their lack of accessibility, it aims to gain a complex insight into the issue and interpret it in its many nuances of meaning. At the same time, its aim is to articulate a general philosophical significance of the intrinsic connection between being and the no-thing; to what extent it affects the innermost intention of Heidegger's fundamental ontology as such, i.e. raising the question of the meaning of being. The paper builds on a phenomenological description of the original experience of the no-thing and captures a transformation of a human being into a pure Da-sein, which he goes through during this experience. Since the experience of the no-thing according to Heidegger is identical to the basic mood of dread, this piece of work depicts it in relation to seemingly similar, but in their meaning actually opposite moods: fear and, most importantly, abysmal boredom. Subsequently, it puts forward an interpretation of the no-thing's own ontological significance and thus...

Undoing closure : responsible use of the Bible in Christian ethical decision making

Myburgh, S.J. (Stephanus Jacobus) 24 February 2010 (has links)
Contemporary Christian ethical decision making includes a move toward responsibility, that is, ways in which responsibility should qualify Christian ethics in general. Linking the ways in which responsibility should qualify Christian ethics with the process of ethical decision making itself as an ideal type, it clarifies the prejudices which make for responsible use of the Bible in Christian ethical decision making. When the prejudices influencing the hermeneutical task in Christian ethical decision making are conformable to the ways in which responsibility should qualify Christian ethics, the Bible is used in a responsible way in Christian ethical decision making. Responsible use of the Bible is linked with the hermeneutical notion that prejudices constitute the link between past text and current interpreter. This lead to the text being understood in new way(s) in each new historical situation. In this way it is able to undo the notion that the link between past text and current interpreter can be had from historical objectivism, with its prejudice against prejudices in Biblical interpretation, and which holds that the meaning of a text is restricted to what the original author intended. Once this original meaning has been uncovered it becomes valid for all times and under all circumstances, and can therefore be closed. This closure is then linked with an ethics of conviction, as opposed to the ways in which responsibility should qualify Christian ethics. In exegeting Romans 1: 26-27, as an example, within an ideal type of Christian ethical decision making, it is shown how the interpretation of the text is influenced by the ways in which responsibility should qualify Christian ethics in general. This makes for a new understanding of the text related to the context in which the interpretation happens. As an example it is thus able to show how prejudices can influence the hermeneutical task in Christian ethical decision making. It makes for a responsible reading of the text for the prejudices which are allowed to influence the hermeneutical task are conformable to the ways in which responsibility should qualify Christian ethical decision making. In this way the exegesis of the text is able to show that the understanding of a text, in an ideal type of Christian ethical decision making, is subject to prejudices as that which makes all understanding, also understanding for moral action possible.

Recomendação adaptativa e sensível ao contexto de recursos para usuários em um campus universitário / Context-aware adaptive recommendation of resources for mobile users in a university campus

Machado, Guilherme Medeiros January 2014 (has links)
Campus universitários são ambientes compostos de recursos e pessoas que utilizam os tais. Um dos principais recursos utilizados pela comunidade de um campus são os objetos de aprendizagem. Tais objetos existem de maneira abundante, espalhados no ambiente ou concentrados em um único local. Entretanto, a abundancia desses objetos faz com que uma pessoa sinta-se cognitivamente cansada ao ter que analisar vários objetos e selecionar apenas alguns. Esse cansaço cognitivo acaba levando a pessoa a escolher um conjunto de objetos de aprendizagem que não satisfarão suas necessidades e interesses da melhor maneira possível. A computação evoluiu de grandes mainframes a pequenos computadores espalhados em um ambiente. Hoje é possível a existência de ambientes pervasivos, onde os recursos computacionais estão sempre presentes e agindo de forma invisível ao usuário. Tais ambientes tornam possível o acompanhamento das atividades do usuário, provendo informações contextuais que podem ser utilizadas para ajudar a seleção dos melhores recursos (ex. objetos de aprendizagem, restaurantes, salas de aula) à determinada pessoa. A localização é uma informação contextual de grande importância na seleção de tais recursos. Tal informação pode ser facilmente obtida através do sinal de GPS do dispositivo móvel de um usuário e utilizada em conjunto com os interesses do usuário para recomendar os recursos próximos que melhor atenderão ao mesmo. Neste contexto este trabalho descreve uma abordagem para recomendar objetos de aprendizagem físicos ou virtuais que estejam relacionados aos prédios próximos a atual localização do usuário. Para executar tal tarefa é descrito um sistema de recomendação que utiliza a informação de localização, obtida através do dispositivo móvel do usuário, combinada à informações do perfil do usuário, dos objetos de aprendizagem relacionados aos prédios e informações tecnológicas do dispositivo para instanciar um modelo ontológico de contexto. Após instanciado o modelo são utilizadas regras semânticas, escritas em forma de antecedente e consequente, que fazem uma correspondência entre os interesses do usuário e o domínio de conhecimento do objeto de aprendizagem para filtrar os objetos próximos ao usuário. De posse desses objetos recomendados o sistema os apresenta em uma interface adaptativa que mostra a localização tanto dos objetos quanto do usuário. Para validar a abordagem apresentada é desenvolvido um estudo de caso onde as regras semânticas de recomendação são executadas sobre o modelo ontológico desenvolvido. O resultado gerado por tais regras é um conjunto de pares (usuário, objeto de aprendizagem recomendado) e prova a validade da abordagem. / University campus are environments composed of resources and people who use them. One of the main resources used by a campus community are learning objects. Such objects are abundantly even scattered in the environment or concentrated in one location. However the abundance of such objects makes a person feel cognitively tired when having to analyze various objects and select just a few of them. This cognitive fatigue eventually leads the person to choose a set of learning objects that do not meet their needs and interests in the best possible way. Computing has evolved from large mainframe to small computers scattered in an environment. Today it is possible the existence of pervasive environments where computational resources are always present and acting in a manner invisible to the user. Such environments make it possible to monitor user activities, providing contextual information that can be used to help select the best resources (e.g. learning objects, restaurants, classrooms) to a particular person. The location is a contextual information of great importance in the selection of such resources. Such information can be easily obtained through the GPS signal from a mobile device and used with the user’s interests to recommend the nearby resources that best attend his needs and interests. In this context, this work describes an approach to recommend physical or virtual learning objects that are related to buildings near the user’s current location. To accomplish such a task we described a recommender system that uses the location information, obtained through the user's mobile device, combined with information from the user’s profile, learning objects related to buildings and technological information from the device to instantiate an ontological context model. Once the model is instantiated we used semantic rules, written in the form of antecedent and consequent, to make a match between the user’s interests and the knowledge domain of the learning object in order filter the user’s nearby objects. With such recommended objects, the system presents them in an adaptive interface that shows both the object and the user location. To validate the presented approach we developed a case study where the recommendation semantic rules are executed on the developed ontological model. The income generated by such rules is a set of pairs (user, recommended learning object) and proves the validity of the approach.

Performing the Electrical or My Heart is an Electromagnetic Chamber Scenographies of Power, Ecology and Speculative Practice

January 2020 (has links)
abstract: Performing the Electrical traces the histories and futures of electrical discovery and knowledge through cultural performances, socio-political assemblages, and the more-than-human worldmaking functions of energy in general and electricity in particular, or what I refer to as energy-as-electricity. This project seeks to transform how energy-as-electricity is perceived, and thereby to re-vision the impact that energy-rich relationships might have ecologically—in both the social and environmental senses of the word. As a practice-led inquiry I use my scenographic sensibilities in combination with performance studies and energy humanities lenses to identify how energy-scapes form through social performances, material relations, and aesthetic/ritualistic interventions. This approach allows me to synthesize vastly different scales of energy-as-electricity performatives and spatialities and propose alternative framings which work towards decolonizing and re-feminizing energy-rich relationships. This research considers the way power flows, accumulates, and transforms through performance as embodied expression, practice and eventful doings of human and more-than-human agents. It asks: if place is practiced space (Henri Lefebvre), how can decolonizing and re-feminizing energy-rich relationships transform normative power relationships (or power geometries, as cultural geographer Doreen Massey refers to such globalized interconnections)—which are formed through electricity, technologies and colonial-capitalism? I ground this inquiry as an ecological intervention in order to investigate how performing with electricity differently (both in collective imaginations and quotidian interactions), can change the ways that electricity is produced and consumed in the time of the Anthropocene, Capitalocene, and Plasticene. The following study produces written and tacit knowledge that expands the framing of energy-rich relationships shared between human and more-than-human performatives. My provocation is that experiential encounters are critical for expanding the ontological plurality of energy-as-electricity with ecological a/effect. Drawing on the insights of performance scenographer Rachel Hann, I demonstrate that scenographic methodologies in an expanded field, along with embodied sensing, provide productive insights into this endeavor of expansion. This project both serves as a space making/space keeping provocation and offers a methodology for devising more desirable futures. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Performance 2020

Moral Values in Moral Psychology? A Textual Analysis

Starks, Shannon 01 July 2016 (has links)
What values, if any, is moral psychology based on with regard to what humans should be like? While the value-free ideal of science requires at least the bracketing of values in regards to the conducting of research and influence on its results, this investigation takes seriously the concerns of leading social psychologists that biases may influence the subdiscipline. Textual analyses of moral psychology's literature involving content analysis of codes and cultural discourse analysis of value themes illuminate values involving moral problems and moral goods that may inherently influence research at various levels. It is proposed that values are impossible to eliminate from moral psychological research and that a simple epistemic/nonepistemic value distinction is inadequate for deciding which values are appropriate. A norm of value disclosure to replace the norm of the value-free ideal is recommended.
