(in English): The diploma thesis focuses on the elaboration of the middle and late La Tène period archaeological finds from the hillfort of Karlovice (Semily District), which is situated on the top plateau of Čertova ruka, surrounded by sandstone towers and rock blocks, giving it a unique spatial position. At the same time, the site is on the periphery of the current La Tène settlement area. The aim of the thesis is to provide the first comprehensive elaboration of finds from the current La Tène period from this site and to interpret this exceptional position on the functional context of the current settlement structure.

Le paradis constitue un des aspects essentiels de chacune des deux religions. Imaginé comme un lieu de bonheur et de perfection, il est décrit à partir des réalités terrestres. C’est un lieu dont les textes bibliques et coraniques, les écrits des Pères de l’Église, les hadîths et la littérature ont fourni différentes présentations. Un lieu dont les visionnaires ont donné de surprenantes descriptions. Un lieu de beauté que les artistes n’ont cessé d’illustrer pendant des siècles. Le faire découvrir, comprendre ses multiples éléments a nécessité non seulement de l’insérer dans un contexte historique mais aussi de le situer dans un cadre eschatologique, en examinant les autres lieux de l’au-delà. Notre recherche a tenté une étude comparative de ces textes scripturaires dans le christianisme et dans l’islam. Il s’agit de confronter les données exégétiques, dogmatiques et iconographiques dans l’espoir de découvrir les approches respectives et les principales différences entre les visions du paradis et du monde de l’au-delà dans le christianisme et dans l’islam. À travers cette réflexion, il apparaît que l’imaginaire du paradis dans ces deux religions dépend dans une large mesure de la manière de concevoir les textes de référence et de les interpréter. Mais il reste toujours la question de savoir comment ce terme est utilisé aujourd’hui, surtout dans le monde islamique. L’aspect militant de cette thèse est une mise en question, voire une réfutation des promesses paradisiaques faites aux musulmans exerçant de nouvelles formes de violence qui suscitent une foule de candidats au meurtre. / Paradise is an essential aspect of both religions, for which earthly realities have been used to imagine a place of happiness and perfection. Its concepts are to be found in the Bible as well as the Quran, the writings of the Fathers of the Church, the hadiths and more general literature. Visionaries have reported stunning descriptions of it, and its beauties have never ceased to be illustrated by artists over the centuries. In order to discover, know, understand its multiple aspects, it has been necessary, not only to insert it into the context of history, but also to situate it in the realm of eschatology and to examine the other places of the great Beyond. Our research attempts to elaborate a comparative study between the Holy Scriptures of Christianity and Islam. We have confronted exegetic, dogmatic and iconographic data so as to find out the coherence inherent to each religion, hoping thereby to discover their specific approaches and the main differences between their own visions of Paradise and afterlife. Our reflection has led us to conclude that the images of Paradise in Christianity and Islam are derived from the way the texts are considered and interpreted. But the remaining question is the use of the word nowadays, particularly in the context of Islam. This dissertation thus questions, even refutes the promises of Paradise made to Muslims under the guise of new forms of violence calling forth crowds of candidates to murder.

With the objective of evaluating the vascular occlusion that might take place at the base of the stem, post-harvest solutions containing inhibitors polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase, and reduction of bacterial population were applied. Flowers were pulsed with 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM AgNO3, 5 mM catechol, 5 mM p-nitrophenol, 10 mM sodium metabissulfite and distilled water without pH adjustment or the pH of the solutions was adjusted for 6.0. Flowers were pulsed with AgNO3 at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mM, sodium metabissulfite and ascorbic acid, both containing 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM and distilled water. The floral stems of each treatment were evaluated at every 48 hours, period in which were submitted to cuts of 2 cm in their stem base, until the end of the longevity of the flowers. At this time, it was determined the activity polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase. The total fresh matter, relative water content of the sepals, number of open flowers, longevity of the flowers and number of colony forming units per mL (CFU/mL) were evaluated. The activity of the polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase measured from the second to the eighth day after harvest showed that the sodium metabissulfite at 10 mM presented the highest reduction of enzymes activities at the second day of analysis. It was also observed that the solutions containing AgNO3 was not capable to inhibit the growth of the bacterial population in the base of floral stem. Together, the activity of the oxidative enzymes and the high number of colonies of bacteria influenced negatively in the weight of the fresh matter, in the relative water content, in the number of open flowers and in its longevity, because they promoted the precocious senescence of the flowers due to the water stress happened by the low hydraulic conductance of the elements of vase of the xylem. / A Strelitzia reginae Aiton é popularmente conhecida como ave-do-paraíso e devido ao seu amplo uso como flor de corte ainda são poucos os estudos realizados na avaliação dos problemas ocorridos em sua pós-colheita. Com o objetivo de avaliar a oclusão vascular ocorrida no local cortado dos escapos florais, soluções pós-colheita contendo inibidores da atividade das enzimas polifenoloxidase e peroxidase e do crescimento da população bacteriana foram aplicadas em três etapas. Aplicou-se 2-mercaptoetanol 10 mM, AgNO3 1 mM, catecol 5 mM, p-nitrofenol 5 mM, metabissulfito de sódio 10 mM e água destilada sem correção do pH, ou com pH ajustado para 6,0. Aplicou-se também AgNO3 às concentrações 0,5; 1; 1,5 e 2 mM, metabissulfito de sódio e ácido ascórbico, ambos às concentrações 2,5; 5; 7,5 e 10 mM, e água destilada. Os escapos florais de cada tratamento foram avaliados a cada 48 horas, período no qual eram submetidos a cortes de 2 cm em suas bases, até o fim da longevidade das flores. Nesse material coletado avaliou-se a atividade das enzimas polifenoloxidase e peroxidase. As outras observações foram: peso da matéria fresca, teor relativo de água, número de flores abertas, longevidade das flores e número de unidades formadoras de colônias por mL (UFC/mL). A atividade da polifenoloxidase e da peroxidase foi determinada do segundo ao oitavo dia após a colheita e, dos tratamentos aplicados, o metabissulfito de sódio 10 mM apresentou a maior redução da atividade das enzimas após o segundo dia da aplicação. As soluções contendo AgNO3 não foram capazes de inibir o crescimento da população bacteriana nos escapos florais. Em conjunto, a atividade das enzimas oxidativas e o alto número de colônias de bactérias influenciaram negativamente no peso da matéria fresca, no teor relativo de água, no número de flores abertas e na sua longevidade, pois promoveram a senescência precoce das flores devido ao estresse hídrico ocorrido pela baixa condutância hidráulica dos elementos de vaso do xilema.

This master’s thesis presents experiences from an evaluation of AdApt, a multi- modal, conversational dialogue system, using PARADISE, PARAdigm for Dialogue System Evaluation, a general framework for evaluation. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to assess PARADISE as an evaluation tool for such a system. An experimental study with 26 subjects was performed. The subjects were asked to interact with one of three different system versions of AdApt. Data was collected through questionnaires, hand tagging of the dialogues and automatic logging of the interaction. Analysis of the results suggests that further research is needed to develop a general framework for evaluation which is easy to apply and can be used for varying kinds of spoken dialogue systems. The data collected in this study can be used as starting point for further research.

L'architecture spatiale du désert est un principe d'unité par lequel se noue d'une façon novatrice, la rencontre de Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Ibrahim Al Koni et Rachid Boudjedra, au travers de Désert, La Petite Waw et Timimoun. Une telle topographie apparaît dans ces romans, qui prend pour point de départ le désert, lieu de la transparence et d’un possible retour vers un centre mythique d’avant la création. Ce choix permet d'apprécier les perspectives d'une quête initiatique, d'une géopoétique isomorphe de « lieu de l'u‑topie, du non lieu », qui se constitue chez nos auteurs comme un espace originel et original, foyer de création, tentative de dépassement vers un absolu, qui rejoint, d'une certaine manière, le pôle mythologique du « Paradis perdu » dans le contexte d'un imaginaire cosmique. Ce point central, s'inscrit à la fois au plus profond du désert et de l'être, offre en reflet la vision d'un espace qui abolit toutes les limites et englobe le monde entier? Le texte ici, est une réécriture, une épopée inversée, de la Genèse, la négation de son itinéraire? L'étude interroge les lieux vierges évoqués par le désert : qu'en est-il de leur actualisation au fil des œuvres, et aussi, de leur répercussion sur le tissu même de l'écriture? L'écriture est-elle une destinée à assumer et une lumière à atteindre dans l'alchimie du bonheur parfait? Est-ce que ce lieu de l'expérience transfiguratrice, cet espace de la Terre Promise se révèle être une immensité heureuse? Notre démarche s'intéresse aussi, aux images primordiales suscités par ce voyage vers l'origine pour examiner des thèmes très divers, mais qui obéissent à la même structure. En analysant d'une part, la nature de la dualité des couples opposés, complémentaires, insécables (racines-exil, nature-ville, masculinité-féminité, langage-silence, rêve-réalité, vie-mort, instant-éternité) et d'autre part, les éléments invariants qui la sous-tendent et ses trames fécondes (aventures et épreuves, espace-temps particulier, traversée et errance); un portrait plus profond se fait jour. / The spatial architecture of the desert is a principle of unity which is tied by an innovative way of meeting Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Ibrahim Al Koni and Rachid Boudjedra through Desert, Little Waw and Timimoun. Such topography appears in these novels, which takes as its starting point the desert instead of transparency and a possible return to a mythical center before creation.      This choice allows to assess the prospects for an initiatory quest, a geopoetic isomorphic "instead of utopia, the non-place" which is among our authors as an original space and the original home of creation, attempt to overrun an absolute, which joined in some way, the pole mythological "Paradise Lost" in the context of a cosmic imaginary. This central point fits both deep in the desert and be reflected in the vision provides a space that abolishes all limits and encompasses the whole world? The text here is a rewriting an epic reverse of Genesis, a denial of his route?       The study questions the virgin places mentioned by the desert what about updating them over the works, and also their impact on the fabric of writing? Writing is her destiny to fulfill and achieve a light in the alchemy of perfect happiness? Is this place transfiguring experience this space to the Promised Land is proving to be an immense happy?      Our approach is also interested, the primordial images generated by this journey to examine the origin of very diverse topics, but follow the same structure. By analyzing the one hand, the nature of the duality of opposing pairs, complementary, indivisible (root-exile, nature-city, masculinity-femininity, language, silence, dream-reality, life and death, time-eternity), and on the other hand, the invariant elements that underlie and fruitful fields (adventures and hardships, space-time particular, crossing and wandering), a deeper portrait emerges.

In these novels, the female voice focuses attention on the experience of women who lived (and under a certain point of view still live) in the shadow of past slavery. Between racism and sexism, the protagonists of the novels are, to use an expression from Morrison’s last novel of the trilogy, “Black Eves”, in an unusual but paradoxically mundane context. The period covered by the stories in these books is that of the Post-Emancipation of the slaves in the 1870s, and the social movements for black people’s civil rights, in the 1920s and in the 1970s, respectively, when the United States of America lived the Reconstruction Era, the great migrations of former slaves from the South to the North, the conquest of the Civil Rights, and the second wave of feminism. In all these periods, although free, the African-American people continued living under big and real social, economic and civil rights inequalities. The theoretical assumptions, which are the framework of this study, are the theory on the post-modern novel by Linda Hutcheon; the notion of truth as a linguistic construct, by Hayden White; the fantastic realism, by Tzvetan Todorov, Irène Bessière, David Roas and Pampa Arán; the theory of irony, according to Linda Hutcheon; and, on what concerns feminism, we refer to the studies of bell hooks (2015) and Deborah Gray White (1999). / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo uma leitura crítica dos romances Amada, Jazz e Paraíso, da autora norte-americana Toni Morrison, para mostrar a forma como nesta trilogia a representação da realidade absurda do sofrimento do povo negro norte-americano e a história de sua resistência transitam entre a metaficção historiográfica e o realismo fantástico. Nesses romances, a voz feminina centra atenção nas experiências de mulheres que viveram (e de certa forma ainda vivem) à sombra de um passado de escravidão. Entre o racismo e o sexismo, as protagonistas dos romances são, para se usar uma expressão do último romance da trilogia, “Evas negras”, em contextos paradoxal-mente insólitos e banais. O recorte temporal é o Pós-Emancipação dos escravos nos anos de 1870 e os movimentos sociais pelos direitos dos negros, em 1920 e em 1970, quando os Estados Unidos da América viviam, respectivamente, a Recons-trução, as grandes migrações dos ex-escravos do Sul para o Norte, a conquista de Direitos Civis e a segunda onda do feminismo. Em todos esses períodos, mesmo livres, os afro-americanos continuaram vivendo grandes desigualdades sociais, econômicas e de direitos civis reais. Os pressupostos teóricos que fundamentam nossa análise consistem nos estudos sobre o romance pós-moderno de Linda Hutcheon; a noção de verdade como cons-truto linguístico de Hayden White; o realismo fantástico de Tzvetan Todorov, Irène Bessière, David Roas e Pampa Arán; a teoria da ironia, segundo Linda Hutcheon; e sobre o feminismo nos reportamos às reflexões de bell hooks (2015) e Deborah Gray White (1999).

More specifically, it aims at offering an answer to the question: in what manner do the traits of the serpent reflect Satan? In order to do that, the analysis was divided into parts. In the first chapter, it was presented the context of the literary production and reception of the work Paradise Lost in order to show features of this corpus and to relate them to other literary works and with its historical moment. In the second chapter, concepts of the narrative theory of Mieke Bal (1997) were applied to the protagonist so that the analysis of Satan in itself and in relation to other elements of the narrative was theoretically based. Finally, in the third chapter, based on a list of features provided by Charlesworth (2010) about the animal serpent (author's expertise), these features were related to the Milton's serpent so that one comprehends traits of the character of the serpent that together relate to Satan. This analysis is justified because many works were found about the Satan of Paradise Lost, nevertheless none whose theme was delimited in that manner. Once a narrative theory and texts from the literary criticism on Milton and of his epic poem pertinent to the current theme were chosen, it is expected that this dissertation allows the reader of Paradise Lost to acquire a more accurate view on the function of the character of Satan in the plot, particularly in the form of the tempting serpent assumed by Satan. / Este trabalho visa a analisar a personagem Satã da obra épica Paradise Lost do escritor puritano John Milton (1608-1674). Mais especificamente, objetiva-se oferecer uma resposta à questão: de que maneira os traços da serpente refletem Satã? Para isso, a análise se dividiu em partes. No primeiro capítulo, apresentou-se o contexto de produção e recepção literárias da obra Paradise Lost com a finalidade de mostrar características desse corpus e relacioná-las com outras obras literárias e com seu momento histórico. No segundo capítulo, aplicaram-se à protagonista conceitos da teoria da narrativa de Mieke Bal (1997) para que fosse fundamentada teoricamente a análise de Satã em si mesmo e em relação a outros elementos da narrativa. Finalmente, no terceiro capítulo, com base numa lista de características fornecidas por Charlesworth (2010) a respeito do animal serpente (especialidade do autor), relacionaram-se essas características com a serpente de Milton de modo que se compreendessem traços da personagem serpente que em conjunto se relacionam com Satã. Esta análise se justifica na medida em que se encontraram vários trabalhos sobre o Satã de Paradise Lost, no entanto nenhum cujo tema fosse delimitado dessa forma. Escolhidos uma teoria da narrativa e textos da fortuna crítica de Milton e de sua épica pertinentes ao presente tema, espera-se que esta dissertação permita que o leitor de Paradise Lost adquira uma visão mais apurada a respeito da função da personagem Satã na trama, em particular da forma de serpente tentadora assumida por Satã.

Fizemos um estudo de como a ideias de ilusão e, dentre elas, principalmente, a de amor e de paraíso, foram desenvolvidas ao longo dos contos. A dissertação tem como fundamentação teórica central o livro O real e o seu duplo – ensaio sobre a ilusão, de Clément Rosset, através do qual pudemos entender diversas questões cotidianas como sendo ilusões, ou duplos do real. Já em um segundo momento, observamos como tais ilusões aparecem na subjetividade contemporânea e como diversos textos de Caio Fernando Abreu vêm sofrendo modificações em sua interpretação, já que estão sendo segmentados e utilizados como verdadeiros oráculos, em sites e redes sociais. Além de Rosset, Baudelaire também contribuiu para o estudo desenvolvido no segundo capítulo, a partir das ideias dos paraísos artificiais. Adotamos como referencial histórico, principalmente Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, para nos dar um suporte sobre o momento político em que o Brasil vivenciava nos anos em que caio Fernando Abreu atuou. Pierre Lévy, Katherine Hayles e Roger Chartier nos embasaram na análise da circulação dos textos em ambiente digital. Ainda, estudiosos como Michel Foucault, Freud, Antonio Candido e Roland Barthes fizeram parte de nosso referencial teórico, para dialogar com as reflexões desenvolvidas. / This dissertation was developed through the analysis of the tension between illusion and reality present in the book of short stories Os Dragões não Conhecem o Paraíso, by Caio Fernando Abreu. We studied how the ideas of illusion and, among them, mainly the ones of love and paradise, were approached during the execution of the stories in focus. Our theoretical foundation is the book The Real and its Double, by Clément Rosset, in which we could apprehend a range of daily issues as being illusions, or reality‘s doubles. In a second moment, we observed the way these illusions appear in the contemporary subjectivity, and how various texts by Caio Fernando Abreu are currently suffering modifications in their interpretation, being segmented and treated as actual oracles in many sites and socials networks. Apart from Russet, the French romantic poet Baudelaire also contributed to this second chapter with his concept of the artificial paradises. We also adopted as references of literary and cultural theory the following authors: Heloisa Buarque de Holanda, who gave support about the Brazilian political situation in the time Caio Fernando acted; Pierre Lévy, Katherine Hayles and Roger Chartier gave us the basis to analyze the circulation of texts in digital environments; also, Michel Foucault, Freud, Antonio Candido and Roland Barthes were part of our theoretical corpus, dialoguing with the reflections constructed.

This study analyses readings and interpretations of the satanic figure in John Milton´s epic Paradise Lost. The study highlights positions from the literature debate about Satan, the main character, and analyses interpretations of Milton´s Satan in order to investigate the critical positions about the relation between text and interpretation. The study has a meta-perspective and analyses the character of Satan in relation to the two main positions that have occupied the debate. The central question for this study is the role of the satanic figure in Paradise Lost. Have the critics read him as a tragic hero or is he being portrayed as the embodiment of evil? By reading which strategies have been used for interpretation by critics in order to come to conclusions about Satan, I have also shown what views exist concerning literary texts and character presentation. The result shows two clear traditions, satanists and anti-satanists, the former interpreting Satan as a positive character and the latter viewing him as a negative one. This study has shown that the debate concerning Satan has touched upon a wide spectrum of subjects where questions concerning authority, revolt and the closeness/distance to a text has been part of the interpretations. The satanic figure has at the same time shown to be an ambivalent 'round' character which makes simple interpretations of him more difficult.

Some years ago I stumbled upon and straight into the bliss of the tropical paradise when setting foot in a Tiki bar for the first time. The story behind this enchanting pop cultural institution unfolded a history built upon colonial power, cultural appropriation and hegemonies. This paper investigates the western construction of the tropical paradise and the power relations that it is built upon. The work revolves around processing my own attraction towards the tropical paradise and adressing how eurocentric narratives have been depicting Oceanic cultures, people and environments in Western popular culture. I approach this attraction by both researching the colonial history of Europeans presence in Oceania and how those events intertwine with our ideas of the paradise on earth today, as well as making objects, scenes and performances that alludes to the topic. At the end of this phase of the project, the colonial gaze that constructed the tropical paradise is turned towards the West itself in the making of the installation Civilization Bar.
