The purpose of this paper is to chart the relationship between supplicants and the Knightship and the nobility (K.a.N) during the age of freedom and the identities created in these meetings. The result of this study is based on the parliamentary protocols of 1731, 1746-1757 and 1771-1772. To answer the purpose of this study, three questions have been constructed. First, who were the supplicants and the supplications? Supplicants came from all over Sweden and its provinces. It was mainly nobleman who spoke to K.a.N, but also women, farmers, bourgeois, craftsmen, theologians, academics, officials and cultural workers. The supplications, could be performed by a single supplicant or a larger group, both for personal reasons or for someone else's. The supplications could both, written down short and concise or long and nuanced. Service, economy, benefit, legal goals and permissions are the five different types of supplications that have been categorized. There is a change in the content of supplications over time, which was due to changes in external frameworks such as laws and taxes. Secondly, what strategies and identities were used by the supplicant to try to influence the outcome of the supplication? In total, sixteen different strategies and identities have been indetified. The legal right, Employment, Succession, For king and country, Suffering, Gods will, By the nature, Like so many before, Honors and status, Encouragement, Flattering, The family, Health and mind, Loss, Modesty, and Poverty. Thirdly, how did the K.a.N motivate their decisions? Of the total 182 supplications 147 were appeals. In 1731 a practice was developed where widows were granted half of the amount they sought. In total there were 12 supplications that did not get a decision or were left resting and nine supplications were rejected. The supplications that were rejected were mainly requests regarding succession and recommendations. It has shown that the supplication could create reproach for the K.a.N, partly by showing decisions later regarded as incorrect. Supplications about recommendations often raised discussions within the K.a.N and many advocated that they should not interfere with private matters. K.a.N did not treat the supplications with consistency - but with what was considered appropriate for the individual, even if it was against the law/practice. It was also found that the supplicant's identity was fortified by K.a.N or created, in order to justify approvals. The approval could be written even more nuanced and flattering by K.a.N than the supplication itself.

The importance of the letter as a means for social, personal and intellectual expression for humanists has been highlighted in various studies. For those studies, its value resides in its effectiveness in responding more directly to the presence of a new pool of readers giving rise to a new cultural type, transforming it into the emblematic genre of the humanists. I am interested in considering the influence of epistolary models in the New World, because, as these models were transferred to a new context, they acquired new forms that responded to the needs of communication, representation, symbolization and, finally, a new rhetoric. For the purposes of this dissertation, I will depart from the conception of the letter in the New World as a “polysynthetic” genre; that is to say, inasmuch as I wish to respond to the plurality of communicative needs that arose from the new contexts that were unforeseen by the humanist rhetoric, I will consider the letters from the New World as emerging from and forming part of other genres: accounts, petitions, diaries, among others. The starting point for this dissertation is the thorough reading and analysis of eleven unpublished letters, all written by women, currently located at the Archivo General de Indias in Seville and sent from the Rio de la Plata during the XVI and XVII centuries. In my investigation, I intend to demonstrate how the authors used the writing of such documents as an empowering practice. Secondly, I will prove that these first epistles, written from America, do not necessarily belong to the ars epistolandi, but to the ars dictaminis. Furthermore, this change in disctinction requires a critical review of the current state of classical letters. Finally, I maintain that these letters provide a space for the emergence of the authors‟ identity. In other words, I understand and ground the conclusions of this work on the fact that space culturally shapes gender, but that gender acts in the production of such spaces as well. The participation of female authors by means of these letters merges them with that spatiality in a process both of production and reproduction, since, as a conscience building act, the “I” is turned into text in order to discuss on/about the space.

本文考察了中央地方財政自主性的變化，地方政府日益增長的對土地相關收入的依賴以及中國社會總體穩定程度，三者之間的因果關係。使用24個省、市、自治區，跨1998年至2006年的面板數據的回歸模型結果顯示地方政府從土地和房地產相關產業發展上獲得的收入顯著的惡化了以來信來訪數量衡量的社會穩定程度。而地方財政自主性的增強則可以抑制地方政府謀取壟斷地租所導致的信訪數量的增加。 / 本文認為，信訪量的持續攀升與拆遷征地糾紛不斷的直接肇因是1994年開始實行的一系列稅收改革所改變的中央地方政府之間的稅收分配以及稅收結構。地方政府近乎掠奪性的征地拆遷以囤積土地獲得壟斷性租金收入的做法都與該變化有關。但同時，上述現象也受到了以信訪為代表的黨政糾紛解決渠道與以訴訟為代表的司法糾紛解決途徑在威權政體等級制度中的局限性的影響。在等級制度中，中央和地方政府因自身利益不同而存在博弈關係，在各級政府之間還存在權力與相應社會責任分配上反向的 “差序格局“。層級越高的政府，掌握越多的政治權力以及相應的可供其用來“尋租“的政治與經濟資源，卻承擔越少的社會責任和風險。 / My dissertation investigates the causal mechanisms among three factors, the relative change of the central-local fiscal autonomy after 1994 fiscal reform, the increasing of local land derived-revenue in recent years, and the variations in the general level of social stability. Using a panel data set covering 24 provincial level administrative units in China during 1998-2006, the study suggests that the income local governments earned from land and real estate developments substantially and significantly threaten social stability. It also reveals that more fiscal autonomy of local governments does help restrain rising level of instablity caused by local governments' incentive to capture monopoly rent from land. / The findings are consistent with the argument that the fiscal rearrangement and restructuring provide incentives to local governments to practice fierce land requisition and house demolition in order to get monopoly rents through land hoarding. Yet the general level of social stability is also affected by the restrictions of disputes resolution channels lie within authoritarian hierarchical structure. The study highlights how two of the most important disputes resolution channels in China, i.e. petition and litigation, reflects the different incentive structure of central and local governments. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 韓佳. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 196-201) / Electronic reproduction.

This study is based on teachers' experiences of how they work with speech anxiety pupils inthe classroom in the Swedish subject in 4th grade at verbal presentations and opinions. The purpose is to find out how a teacher understands and supports a speech fear pupil in oral submissions and opinions. The questions that the study will be based on are: What methods and working methods are used to prevent and promote pupils' talents? How does the teacher visualize and supports speech anxiety pupils in the classroom at oral presentations and opinions? In what way is the work of rhetoric benefiting speech anxiety pupils? The study consists of qualitative methods based on observations and interviews. Data has been collected through four observations and three interviews. The result has shown that in the classroom there are between three and five pupils who either suffer from speech anxiety or who are merely silent. Oral presentations are something that most pupils feel discomforted and therefore the teacher adjusts the teachings according to the pupil's needs and prerequisites. The teacher has varied teaching to enable all pupils to feel included, thus creating confidence and self-esteem through different working methods andgroup size. Furthermore, it was found that the teachers work with a good classroom climate for the student's learning and development. To get a functioning classroom and education, the class must work socially. The conclusion is that teachers already at the lower stage work deliberately and actively with oral requests for the pupils to become good talents in the long run. It is essential that a safe classroom environment is created, and that the teacher communicates with pupils who do not speak about their needs. In addition, it's important that speech anxiety and silent pupils get practice in speaking so they can strengthen their speech, become more visible and comfortable with their speech in front of other pupils

I denna uppsats undersöks ett handskriftsmaterial bestående av 12 ryska suppliker från 1637. Syftet är att beskriva materialet och söka fastställa hur det passar in i V. M. Živovs system med skriftliga register. Analysen behandlar stilistiska, fonetiska och morfologiska aspekter. Jämförelser görs med texter från samma tidsperiod och ur samma genre. Den stilistiska analysen visar att supplikerna till sin struktur, utformning och sitt språk följer de förebilder som fanns inom genren. Den fonetiska och morfologiska analysen visar att det i supplikerna förekommer drag som var typiska för kansliregistret och att supplikerna överlag återspeglar 1600-talsnormen för kanslitexter. Živovs teorier om det ryska skriftspråkets utveckling visar sig falla tämligen väl ut på supplikerna. I arbetet inkluderas transkriberingar av detta tidigare opublicerade arkivmaterial. / This thesis examines a manuscript consisting of 12 Russian legal petitions from 1637. The purpose is to describe the material from a philological point of view and thereby determine whether it conforms to V. M. Živov's system of written registers. Analyses of stylistic, phonetic, and morphological aspects of the text are presented. A comparison is made with texts from the same time period and genre. The stylistic analysis shows that the petitions meet the formal and stylistic standards of the genre. The phonetic and morphological analyses show that the petitions contain features that were typical for the chancellery register and that they, in general, conform to the 17th-century norm for chancellery texts. The thesis concludes that the material is illustrative of Živov's theories on the development of Russian literary (standard) language. The work includes transcriptions of previously unpublished archive material.

This dissertation is devoted to the study of who used the formal channels of interaction in the early modern era and why. It examines the full range of the political conversation in early modern Sweden, as seen in the supplications to the Diet in the Age of Liberty (1719–1772), and more specifically the supplications submitted to the parliamentary committee tasked with handling them, the Screening Deputation. The literature yields few systematic studies of this official channel, and supplications have long been terra incognita in the early modern political landscape. Their exact importance is uncertain, to say the least. Using a database built on three samples from the beginning, middle, and end of the Age of Liberty, the Diet's supplication channel is shown to have been used by two groups: supplicants from state-affiliated households primarily tried to use it to pursue their claims on the state, to settle various issues related to employment, or to receive some sort of support through hard times; and, increasingly, commoners, especially delegates in the Estate of the Burghers, used the channel for their gravamina concerning commerce, taxation, and the like, and state support for public amenities, a group for whom the Screening Deputation offered an alternative route to getting their grievances heard by the Diet. Both groups increasingly used the Diet's supplication channel was appeal the verdicts of the King in Council (Kungl. Maj:t). Although most were not appeals against the Judicial Audit, the results reveal an active use of appeals, and thus a de facto erosion of Kungl. Maj:t's supremacy. The results also show that as many as three-fifths of all supplicants had their supplications accepted by the Screening Deputation for further examination by the Diet. Although the acceptance rate was definitely lower in the 1730s and 1740s, the committee seems to have been fairly benevolent in its interpretation of the rules on petitioning. The results, lastly, show that although the Diet's supplication channel allowed excluded groups direct access to the Diet - including women of all classes, commoners of rank, and unrepresented groups - it mainly catered to men with the social status or wealth that put them in the middle and upper strata of society. Although this supplication channel stood open to anyone, its egalitarian potential was seemingly never realized. The use of March and Olsen's institutional theory about the logic of appropriateness, has revealed that certain institutional templates and norms that would have enabled these groups more access to the channel succumbed and made room for other institutional foundations. Supplications were part of the medieval and early modern centralization of legal and political power, the formation of the state, the protection of the privileges of Swedish subjects, and, during the Age of Liberty, the power struggle between the Diet and the kings. Each supplication viewed by itself might seem trivial, but nonetheless played a part in each and every one of these major processes. An ordinary Swede could have an impact on early modern politics when acting in concert with other supplicants, like rain eating away at rock.

Ao lado da liberdade de expressão, a Constituição de 1824 garantiu o direito da sociedade se fazer ouvir pelas autoridades: o Artigo 179, parágrafo 30 estabelece que todo o cidadão poderá apresentar por escrito ao Poder Legislativo e ao Executivo reclamações, queixas, ou petições. A presente dissertação tem por objetivo compreender como este direito constitucional foi utilizado pelos cidadãos brasileiros durante o período em que a ordem monárquica constitucional se consolidava no Brasil. Durante os primeiros anos do Segundo Reinado, diversos grupos comerciantes, médicos, advogados, manufatureiros, autoridades locais, padres, proprietários de terra, votantes, eleitores etc. estabeleceram uma relação direta com a elite política que moldava as instituições do Império. A análise das petições que chegaram à Câmara dos Deputados na década de 1840 e do debate parlamentar que nela se desenvolveu indica que importantes mudanças políticas do período como a reforma eleitoral, a aprovação do Código Comercial, a reforma judiciária foram influenciadas por setores da sociedade brasileira que se organizaram para exercer o direito de petição. Por intermédio da atividade peticionária, governantes e governados se integraram em um diálogo que permeou a resolução de alguns dos mais relevantes assuntos concernentes à realidade brasileira. Este diálogo fez do ideal do regime representativo algo tangível para diversos setores que compunham o pacto político nacional. / Together with the freedom of thought and speech, the Constitution of 1824 provided Brazilian society with the right to be heard by authorities: Article 179, Paragraph 30 states that all citizens will be able to present to the Legislative or the Executive Power written grievances, complaints, or petitions. This dissertation attempts to explore how this constitutional right was used by Brazilian citizens during the time that monarchical order was being consolidated. During the reign of D. Pedro 2nd, many groups, including businessmen, manufacturers, doctors, lawyers, local authorities, priests, landowners, voters, electors, and others, established a direct relation with the political elite responsible for molding the new institutions. The analysis of the petitions sent to the Chamber of Deputies by the 1840s and the parliamentary debate ensued provide an indication that important political changes of that period (i.e., electoral reform, approval of the Commercial Code, judicial reform) were influenced by the participation of certain sections of Brazilian society that were able to organize themselves and successfully use their right of petition. Mediated by such petitionary activity, governors and governed took part in a dialogue that led to the resolution of some of the most important issues concerning Brazilian reality. That dialogue made the ideal of representative government tangible to many groups that formed the prevailing national political landscape.

Este trabalho inscreve-se nos estudos relacionados às teorias do texto e do discurso e tem como foco de investigação a linguagem jurídica aplicada no processo judicial. Por isso, dentre as diversas peças que conformam um processo judicial optou-se pelo estudo da petição inicial, texto que o inicia. O estudo utiliza como suportes teóricos a semiótica de origem francesa, fundada por Alrgidas Julien Greimas, e alguns elementos da retórica clássica de Aristóteles propostos na Arte Retórica, e elementos da nova retórica nascida dos estudos de Chaïm Perelman & Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca no Tratado da Argumentação. À luz desses pressupostos teóricos, procura-se descrever a estrutura da petição inicial, considerando aspectos dos planos narrativo e discursivo, este último direcionado à identificação dos elementos que constroem a veridicção do discurso, isto é, as marcas deixadas nos enunciados responsáveis pela criação de efeitos de sentido verdade. Para atingir esse objetivo traça-se um percurso de trabalho que inicia com a descrição da teoria semiótica francesa considerando o seu lugar de inserção dentre as teorias do texto e do discurso e o seu modelo teórico-metodológico. Após, segue-se a descrição, em linhas gerais, da retórica clássica aristotélica bem como dos estudos de Perelman & Tyteca no texto Tratado de Argumentação – a nova retórica. São apresentados, ainda, estudos semióticos do Direito, com o fim de evidenciar a aplicação da semiótica francesa na área jurídica. Na seqüência explica-se o que é o processo judicial, a fim de contextualizar nele a petição inicial. O próximo passo consiste em apresentar a petição inicial sob seus aspectos legais, representação gráfica e organização narrativa. A partir do plano narrativo verifica-se que o discurso das petições iniciais tem como finalidade essencial orientar o julgamento do juiz, razão porque são textos que apresentam um caráter essencialmente manipulatório. Por isso, a última etapa do trabalho consiste em descrever os recursos utilizados pelo enunciador, no plano discursivo, para a construção da verdade do discurso das petições. Nesse sentido, constata-se que a verdade corresponde à força de persuasão, configurada a partir de projeções enunciativas nos enunciados e no encadeamento de esquemas argumentativos. / This paper is related to text and discourse theories and it is focused on juridical language applied in judicial trial. That is why, among several parts that form a judicial trial, the study of initial petition was chosen and it introduces this paper. This study has as theoretical support the French Semiotics founded by Alrgidas Julien Greimas, along with some elements from the Aristotle’s classical rhetoric, proposed in the Art of Rhetoric, and from the new rhetoric originated from Chaïm Perelman & Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca’s studies in the Treaty of the Argumentation. In the light of these theoretical presuppositions, the structure of the initial petition is intended to be described, considering narrative and discursive aspects, the latter focused on the identification of elements that build the discourse veridiction, that is, the marks left in utterances responsible for the creation of meaning and truth effects. In order to achieve that aim, a work course that starts with the description of the French Semiotics Theory is delineated, considering its insertion place among text and discourse theories and its theoretical-methodological model. Afterwards, there is a description of Aristotle’s classical rhetoric as well as of Perelman & Tyteca’s studies in the text Treaty of the Argumentation – the new rhetoric. Semiotic studies of Law are presented aiming at evidencing the application of French Semiotics in the juridical field. Then, there is an explanation of what a judicial trial is, aiming at contextualizing the initial petition in it. The next section consists of presenting the initial petition under its legal aspects, graphic representation and narrative organization. From the narrative plan, it is checked that the essential goal of the discourse of initial petitions is to guide the magistrate’s judgment; that is why they are texts with an essentially manipulating aspect. For this reason, the final part of this paper consists of describing the resources used by the speaker, in the discursive plan, in order to build the truth of the petition’s discourse. In this sense, it is found that the truth corresponds to persuasion strength, made up from utterance projections in utterances and in argumentative scheme enjambment.
