1	Portugalská identita a azořanství v díle Joãa de Mela / Portuguese Identity and Azorianity in João de Melo's oeuvre Kolbach, Nicole January 2015 (has links) The diploma thesis examines the oeuvre of João de Melo in view of the fundamental topics of his poetics, namely the tragic sense of life, ancient space-time, ontological metamorphosis of humans and animals, escapes, peculiar religiosity, isolation and imagination, shared marginalization and language distance. The Azoriatity is estimated on the basis of the chosen topics and on comparison with Portuguese identity, and the correlation between center and peripheral areas is analyzed. Abstrakt Diplomová práce se zabývá studiem nosných rysů v díle Joãa de Mela, zejména tragickým pocitem života, odvěkým časoprostorem, ontologickými metamorfózami zvířat a lidí, útěky, specifickou religiozitou, izolací a imaginací, sdílenou marginalizací a jazykovou vzdáleností. Následně jsou tyto rysy klasifikovány z hlediska jejich azořanství, které je nahlídnuto také z hlediska portugalské identity a ve vztahu centra a periferie. Klíčová slova: azořanství, identita, ostrov, moře, sopka, emigrace, koloniální válka
2	Fertile Grounds: Cultivating an Identity Through Architecture Neves, Elisia 25 April 2012 (has links) This thesis explores the contributive role of architecture to the prosperity of a place. The research addresses the challenges and opportunities that rural regions face today by analyzing the general factors of marginalized rural communities through the lens of a specific community in mainland Portugal. A new approach for maintaining an authentic character, and a “sense of place” is presented which defends rural space as a genuinely experiential realm. The thesis proposes the design of a modern day treatment and research centre in the rural town of Manteigas, situated on one of the largest glacier valleys in Europe in the heart of the Serra da Estrela mountain range. Once alive with all the quaint characteristics that typify an idyllic rural identity, this town now faces a steep population decrease. Situated in the centre of the Zêzere glacial valley overlooking the town, the design accepts and interprets the natural geology of the site, harnessing the therapeutic thermal waters that continue to flow from the glacier line of the valley. The new centre represents not just a place for leisure and relaxation, but also an investigative laboratory for modern day natural healing therapies. The town of Manteigas is situated within three very distinct landscapes: a fertile landscape, a socio-cultural landscape, and a landscape of health and wellness. The design intervention responds to all these conditions and is dependent on each in its operation. This thesis is a proposal for a sustainable cycle of local and regional rejuvenation that will not be easily broken. The design proposal aims to build an infrastructure that will revive the identity of the community as a place of study and implementation of natural healing. The proposed design will also act as a catalyst to fuel future development and stimulate the local and regional economies.
