Orientador: Álvaro Santos Simões Junior / Banca: Carlos Erivany Fantinati / Banca: Keli Cristina Pacheco / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem por objetivos: levantamento, indexação e análise dos textos publicados pelo escritor Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1881-1922) no periódico carioca A.B.C. (1915-1934), que foram veiculados de 1916 a 1922, com ênfase na série de capítulos da sátira Os Bruzundangas; e a investigação do hebdomadário visando ao esboço de um perfil para a publicação. A análise dos textos foi feita em seu conjunto, o que, até hoje, a fortuna crítica do autor não havia realizado, tentando notar possíveis condicionamentos do veículo sobre sua produção. A dissertação contém, em anexo, texto de Lima Barreto inédito em livro, cotejo crítico dos capítulos d'Os Bruzundangas publicados no A.B.C., indexação do semanário no período de publicação da sátira e ilustrações. Com tudo isso, o estudo pretende contribuir para uma maior compreensão da obra de Lima Barreto e auxiliar futuros pesquisadores do autor e do tema em questão / Abstract: This dissertation intends to gather, index and analyze texts published by author Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1881-1922) on the periodical A. B. C. (1915-1934) between 1916 and 1922, with emphasis the series of chapters of the satire Os Bruzundangas; we also investigate the weekly publication in order to paint an accurate picture of it. The analysis of these texts in as a whole has not been done until now, and was made with the intention of possibly noting the influence of the medium on its production. Annexed to the dissertation we have Lima Barreto's writings that were not yet edited, a critical comparison between the chapters of Os Bruzundangas published in A.B.C. and an index of the periodical during the production of satires and illustrations. We intend to provide a better understanding of Lima Barreto's work, as well as make resources available to future researchers of the author and the theme / Mestre

The present study investigated identification, access and usage of periodicals in university libraries in Kenya, with a view of recommending a tool for assisting users to identify information. Using questionnaires completed by 316 university library users and 27 librarians, backed with participant observations, document analysis as well as interviews, it was found that usage of periodicals was low as most users browse through periodicals to identify information, a method that is not effective. In-house indexing was investigated and found to be an effective tool in facilitating access to relevant information. The study recommends establishment of in-house indexing programs and databases in university libraries; formulation of consistent indexing policies to achieve quality indexing; and that indexing should be focused on both content and user requirements by specifying points- of- view, and study methodologies to enhance retrieval of relevant information. / Information Science / M.

This master's thesis is primarily concerned with the philosophical conditions of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England that encouraged the emergence of periodical literature and perpetuated the birth of the novel. While most connections between periodical literature and the novel are made on how the former created the readership that ensured the latter's success, I focus on how the epistemology unique to the advent of empirical science together with the growing prominence of casuistic thought created a space in which periodical literature could emerge and the early novel could flourish. I investigate the underlying assertion of a particular philosophical amalgam that I call casuistic-empiricism. Such philosophies encouraged the Renaissance trend that devalued letter-of-the-law thinking, which led ultimately to a significant epistemological transformation in seventeenth-century England. Recognizing the immensity of this epistemological shift, I focus on the early seventeenth-century practice of casuistry as an outgrowth fueled by seventeenth-century natural philosophy. By investigating the poetry and prose of John Donne, I emphasize the pervasive threads of casuistic thought that found parallels in empirical epistemology. I proceed in a linear fashion by following the evolution and growing pervasiveness of casuistic culture into its period of culmination marked by the birth of the Athenian Gazette. Readers' prominent attraction to the periodical is shown to run on a parallel with the incipient empiricism. Indeed, the two prominent lines of thought (empiricism and casuistry) form a dynamic binary where each feeds off of and is fed by the other, culminating in a unique epistemology that aided the emergence of the early novel. Extending this discussion of periodical literature's casuistical qualities into Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, I investigate how Defoe's ties to casuistry are reflected in and perpetuated by Crusoe, illustrating how the novel becomes a medium for resolving cases of conscience. The novel as a genre is shown to be more than just a close relative of the periodical, both genres being spurred into prominence by some of the more salient features attendant to casuistic-empirical philosophy. The novel becomes finally a type of culminating product of a unique casuistic-empirical practice that accounts for the full range of experiences involved in reaching justified conclusions.
