Duas representações de família : "Os Glass", de J. D. Salinger, e "Os Tenenbaum", de Wes Anderson & Owen WilsonRollo, André Corrêa January 2006 (has links)
O presente trabalho analisa o tema das famílias desajustadas no sistema ficcional norte-americano. Os corpora estudados são os contos sobre a família Glass, de J. D. Salinger, e o roteiro do filme The Royal Tenenbaums, escrito por Wes Anderson e Owen Wilson. O enfoque comparatista aqui desenvolvido é duplo: de um lado, o diálogo temático entre a obra dos diferentes autores, de outro lado, a investigação sobre os modos em que os contos de Salinger e o filme dialogam com as demais artes. Desta forma, a leitura crítica aqui efetuada rastreia as estratégias intertextuais e inter-artísticas presentes nos corpora. A análise temática é desenvolvida a partir da definição de um conceito de desajuste. A inadaptação pode ser vista como uma inadequação ou reação do indivíduo ao grupo ou comunidade a que pertence, aos pensamentos, valores e modos de agir desta. Tanto os Glass quanto os Tenenbaums são irmãos que, quando crianças, foram destacadamente brilhantes em atividades comumente desempenhadas por adultos. Ao amadurecer tornaram-se pessoas problemáticas com dificuldades de relacionamento pessoal. Para chegar à síntese da leitura comparativa visualizamos três elementos comuns em ambos os corpora: o conflito do indivíduo com o mundo; a dificuldade da comunicação pessoal (além de discorrermos sobre as estratégias da comunicação ficcional) e a dificuldade em lidar com a instabilidade. Ao final, examino como tais problemas são superados pelos personagens. Além disso, também tentamos descrever como tais obras inserem-se na tradição ficcional norte-americana de produção obras cujo tema principal são as problemáticas relações familiares. / The present work analyses the theme of maladjusted families in the American fictional system. The corpora consists of the short stories about the Glass family, by J. D. Salinger, and the screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums, written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. The comparative approach here developed is twofold: on the one hand, a thematic dialogue between the different authors' works, on the other hand, a research about the ways in which Salinger's stories and the film dialogue with another arts. Thus, the critical reading searches the intertextual and interartistic strategies present in the corpora. The thematic analysis is developed from a definition of a concept of maladjustment. Maladjustment can be seen as an individual's inadequacy or reaction to the group or community to which he/she belongs, to the thoughts, to the values and ways of behaviour. Both Glass and Tenenbaums are siblings which, when children, were outstandingly brilliant in activities mainly fullfilled by adults. Coming of age they become problematical with difficulties in personal relationship. To summarize the comparative reading we highlight three elements in common to both corpora: the individual's conflict with the world; the difficult of the personal communication (besides the strategies of fictional communication) and the difficulty in deal with instability. Finally, I examine how such problems are overcome by the characters. Besides this, I also try to describe how such works are inserted in the American fictional tradition of producing works whose main theme is the problematic family relationship.

The Poet as Hero : A Study of the Clash Between the Hero and the First World War in British Trench Poetry, and Its Use in the Swedish School System Within the Subject of English. / Poeten som hjälte : En studie av konflikten mellan hjälten och det första världskriget i Brittisk skyttegravspoesi, och dess användning i det svenska skolsystemet inom ämnet Engelska.Olsson, Carl January 2018 (has links)
This thesis studies the clash between the hero and the First World War in the works of Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. It explores the impact on their poetry and attitude towards the concept of the hero as it applied to them as people and poets. The study shows that over prolonged contact with the horrors of the First World War, it is evident in both literary sources and their poetry that both Sassoon and Owen changed their attitudes negatively towards both the idea of heroes and heroism, as well as the War as a just and glorious cause. However, the myth of the hero was still a core belief of their society, and in order to not be branded cowards and discarded along with their warnings, they had to become heroes in the eyes of their society, to openly attack the concept and the war it fueled. This thesis then studies how and why First World War poetry and literature should be utilized within the subject of English in the Swedish School System, as a means to provide a multicultural and critical education.

The Darwinian revolution as a knowledge reorganizationZacharias, Sebastian 24 February 2015 (has links)
Die Dissertation leistet drei Beiträge zur Forschung: (1) Sie entwickelt ein neuartiges vierstufiges Modell wissenschaftlicher Theorien. Dieses Modell kombiniert logisch-empiristische Ansätze (Carnap, Popper, Frege) mit Konzepten von Metaphern & Narrativen (Wittgenstein, Burke, Morgan), erlaubt so deutlich präzisiere Beschreibungen wissenschaftlicher Theorien bereit und löst/mildert Widersprüche in logisch-empiristischen Modellen. (Realismus vs. Empirismus, analytische vs. synthetische Aussagen, Unterdeterminiertheit/ Holismus, wissenschaftliche Erklärungen, Demarkation) (2) Mit diesem Modell gelingt ein Reihenvergleich sechs biologischer Theorien von Lamarck (1809), über Cuvier (1811), Geoffroy St. Hilaire (1835), Chambers (1844-60), Owen (1848-68), Wallace (1855/8) zu Darwin (1859-1872). Dieser Vergleich offenbart eine interessante Asymmetrie: Vergleicht man Darwin mit je einem Vorgänger, so bestehen zahlreiche wichtige Unterschiede. Vergleicht man ihn mit fünf Vorgängern, verschwinden diese fast völlig: Darwins originärer Beitrag zur Revolution in der Biologie des 19.Jh ist klein und seine Antwort nur eine aus einer kontinuierlichen Serie auf die empirischen Herausforderungen durch Paläontologie & Biogeographie seit Ende des 18. Jh. (3) Eine gestufte Rezeptionsanalyse zeigt, warum wir dennoch von einer Darwinschen Revolution sprechen. Zuerst zeigt eine quantitative Analyse der fast 2.000 biologischen Artikel in Britannien zwischen 1858 und 1876, dass Darwinsche Konzepte zwar wichtige Neuerungen brachten, jedoch nicht singulär herausragen. Verlässt man die Biologie und schaut sich die Rezeption bei anderen Wissenschaftlern und gebildeten Laien an, wechselt das Bild: Je weiter man aus der Biologie heraustritt, desto weniger Ebenen biologischen Wissens kennen die Rezipienten und desto sichtbarer wird Darwins Beitrag. Schließlich findet sich sein Beitrag in den abstraktesten Ebenen des biologischen Wissens: in Narrativ und Weltbild – den Ebenen die Laien rezipieren. / The dissertation makes three contributions to research: (1) It develops a novel 4-level-model of scientific theories which combines logical-empirical ideas (Carnap, Popper, Frege) with concepts of metaphors & narratives (Wittgenstein, Burke, Morgan), providing a new powerful toolbox for the analysis & comparison of scientific theories and overcoming/softening contradictions in logical-empirical models. (realism vs. empiricism, analytic vs. synthetic statements, holism, theory-laden observations, scientific explanations, demarcation) (2) Based on this model, the dissertation compares six biological theories from Lamarck (1809), via Cuvier (1811), Geoffroy St. Hilaire (1835), Chambers (1844-60), Owen (1848-68), Wallace (1855/8) to Darwin (1859-1872) and reveals an interesting asymmetry: Compared to any one of his predecessors, Darwins theory appears very original, however, compared to all five predecessor theories, many of these differences disappear and it remains but a small original contribution by Darwin. Thus, Darwin’s is but one in a continuous series of responses to the challenges posed to biology by paleontology and biogeography since the end of the 18th century. (3) A 3-level reception analysis, finally, demonstrates why we speak of a Darwinian revolution nevertheless. (i) A quantitative analysis of nearly 2.000 biological articles reveals that Darwinian concepts where indeed an important theoretical innovation – but definitely not the most important of the time. (ii) When leaving the circle of biology and moving to scientists from other disciplines or educated laymen, the landscape changes. The further outside the biological community, the shallower the audience’s knowledge – and the more visible Darwin’s original contribution. After all, most of Darwin’s contribution can be found in the narrative and worldview of 19th century biology: the only level of knowledge which laymen receive.

Puppet on an imperial string? Owen Lanyon in South Africa, 1875-1881Theron, Bridget, Theron-Bushell, Bridget Mary 08 1900 (has links)
This thesis is a study of British colonial policy in southern Afiica in the 1 gill centwy. More
specifically it looks at how British imperial policy, in the period 1875 to 1881, played itself out
in two British colonies in southern Africa, Wlder the direction of a British imperial agent,
William Owen Lanyon. It sets Lanyon in the context of the frontiers and attempts to link the
histories of the people who lived there, the Africans, Boers and British settlers on the one han~
and the histories of colonial policy on the other. In doing so it also unravels the relationship
between Lanyon and his superiors in London and those in southern Africa.
In 1875 Owen Lanyon arrived in Griqualand West, where his brief was to help promote a
confederation policy in southern Africa. Because of the discovery of diamonds some years
earlier, Lanyon's administration had to take account of the rising mining industry and the
aggressive new capitalist economy. He also had to deal with Griqua and Tlhaping resistance to
colonialism. Lanyon was transferred to the Transvaal in 1879, where he was confronted by
another community that was dissatisfied with British rule: the Transvaal Boers. Indeed, in
Pretoria he was faced with an extremely difficult situation, which he handled very poorly. Boer
resistance to imperial rule eventually came to a head when war broke out and Lanyon and his
officials were among those besieged in Pretoria. In February 1881 imperial troops suffered defeat
at the hands of Boer commandos at Majuba and Lanyon was recalled to Britain.
In both colonies Lanyon was caught up in the struggle between the imperial power and the local
people and, seen in a larger context, in the conflict for white control over the land and labour of
Africans and that between the old pre-mineral South Africa and the new capitalist order. He
made a crucial contribution to developments in the sub-continent and it is remarkable that his
role in southern Africa has thus far been neglected. / History / D.Litt. et Phil. (History)

The roles of the cathedral in the modern English ChurchRowe, Peter Anthony January 2011 (has links)
A cathedral of the Church of England is the seat of the bishop and a centre of worship and mission. The history of this institution is followed from the English Reformation, which it survived, through to the Commonwealth, which it did not. Restored on the return of the monarchy, it then survived with little further trouble until the nineteenth century, when a lot of its income was diverted to the provision of churches and ministers for the populous urban and industrialised areas, which the Church could not fund in any other way. It was the subject of investigation by two Royal Commissions in the nineteenth century and three church-inspired commissions in the twentieth. These commissions stressed the links that should exist between cathedral, bishop and diocese, which the nineteenth century diocesan revival also encouraged, and suggested changes in instruments of governance to achieve this. Some proposals came to nothing, but others were brought into law. Unlike the Roman Catholic cathedral, the Anglican one never lost its autonomy. The religious situation in Britain today is considered in the light of some contemporary sociology and psychology, and it is recognised that the continued decline in the fortunes of the Church is tied up with the massive subjective turn which characterises contemporary culture. The cathedral has not shared the mistrust which faces the Church, and its various roles are discussed in the light of its continued hold on public affection. The conclusions reached are that, although the cathedral now has strong links with bishop and diocese, it should retain its independence within relationships of interdependence with them, to enable it to harness the popularity which it enjoys to remain a centre of worship, but primarily to concentrate on being a centre of mission. Appropriate ways of achieving that are discussed.

Las colonias obreras de las primeras décadas de HIDROLA, 1910-1940. Adoptando modelos utópicos del s.XIX; aportando soluciones de vivienda obrera del s.XXSalvador Luján, Nuria 03 September 2014 (has links)
El trabajo que a continuación se expone tiene el interés de ser la única investigación que recoge la aportación a la vivienda obrera española realizada en las colonias industriales impulsadas durante las primeras décadas de vida de la empresa Hidrola (Hidroeléctrica Española o HE) concretamente en la etapa comprendida entre los años 1910 y 1940, abordando el estudio de las tres unidades situadas a lo largo del Sistema Hidrográfico del río Júcar, en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-la Mancha: El Molinar (1910, Villa de Ves), Lucas Urquijo (1914, Enguidanos) y El Tranco del Lobo (1925, Casas de Ves), proyectos de los ingenieros en plantilla de la empresa, principalmente Manuel Cominges y Oscar Laucirica.
De entre las soluciones aportadas en estos modestos y autosuficientes asentamientos destaca la ordenación espacial, así como el proyecto de algunos tipos edificatorios, teniendo un especial interés, por sus rasgos de modernidad, la construcción de vivienda colectiva para obreros en la colonia Lucas Urquijo: un bloque lineal exento de viviendas con acceso por escaleras y corredores exteriores de la primera mitad de la década de los años treinta.
Se ha realizado un análisis comparativo con otros ejemplos europeos, considerados paradigmáticos y que gozan de reconocimiento internacional, con el fin de reconocer el valor -no sólo arquitectónico, sino también histórico, social y cultural- de las actualmente olvidadas colonias objeto de esta investigación, constituyendo un primer paso hacia su merecida conservación. / Salvador Luján, N.
