Technology plays a significant role in society and in entertainment. People hold an ambivalent attitude about technology that is often illustrated in science fiction films. Much like myth telling stories to teach a lesson, science fiction films caution viewers of the effects of powerful technology usage in culture today. This thesis examines X-Men to show how relevant principles found in myth continue to be relevant to media consumption. Using media ecology to inform the reader about the technological environment (Mumford, 1944), this analysis of technology portrayed in X-Men shows the implications real world technology, such as radiation, weapons, and artificial intelligence, has on contemporary society. Using mythical criticism to analyze the myth of Prometheus in modern day, this thesis shows that with proper accountability, technology may eventually be a tool unbound from the fear it generates. X-Men evaluates the natural human fear that comes from technology including, fear of fusion, fear of defeat, and fear of technological agency overcoming the human agent (Rushing and Frentz, 1989, but instead of leaving us hopeless, X-Men shows that technology can help society progress despite its potential for destruction.

Studies of Frankenstein-related cultural, literary, and filmic productions tend to either focus atomistically on a particular cultural artifact or construct rather strict chains of filiation between multiple artifacts. Media scholars have developed rich conceptual resources for describing cross-media appropriations in the realm of fandom (including fan fiction and slash fiction); however, many scholars of digital literary culture tend to describe the relationships between new media artifacts and their print counterparts in terms that promote what is "new" about these media forms without attending to how older media forms anticipate and enter into conversation with electronic multimedia formats. This paper suggests an alternative to this model that emphasizes the extent to which media forms remix, appropriate, and speak through other media and cultural artifacts. Studying Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, James Whale's classic Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein films, Victor Erice's Spirit of the Beehive, Bill Condon's Gods and Monsters, Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl, and some of the scholarly literature around the Frankenstein narrative, the construction of gender, and the discourse of post- humanity, this paper explores the mechanisms through which these artifacts draw attention to their participation in a greater "body" of Frankenstein culture. Additionally, this paper explores how these artifacts use what Bolter and Grusin have described as the logic of hypermediacy to emphasize the specificity of their deployment through a particular medium into a specific historical situation. / Master of Arts

The superhuman is a notion of mankind's relationship between himself and his tools. This bound condition of dependence with ingenuity both liberates his body from mortal perils and binds him to indefinite dependence with the complex, the external, and inhuman. Architecture as an extension of mankind's agency which asserts and protects his will against unknown forces contends with this implicit contract; a contract and paradox most poetically considered in our earliest Western myths. / Master of Architecture / The superhuman is a notion of mankind's relationship between himself and his tools.

The Tragedy of Fire). The play created by the Cia. Teatro Balagan, from S?o Paulo, is written by Leonardo Moreira and staged by Maria Tha?s Lima Santos. The present study starts from chanting, in its many names, first considering it as integrating voice, word and performance. As language, chanting is a vehicle of a memory, of an art. The polysemic term ?chanting?, runs through the object of study and finds its meaning according to the context in its many senses. My argument is based on the following aspects: 1. Chanting as poetry ? in its dramatic, epic and lyric genres. Chanting is myth itself; 2. Chanting on stage ? physical, vocal and verbal action (voice/word/body/action); chanting as word sung, in its poetic principles, its orality, vocality and performance; chanting as music composition; 3. The chanting of the scene ? a crossing of the distinct voices on the polyphonic staging of Prometheus. This work is defined by the dialogue between areas of Theater studies, with its multiple signs, and Literature studies. Unfolding into many subjects, chanting reveals itself as a strategy for approaching and reading the staging poetics of Cia. Teatro Balagan in Prometheus - a trag?dia do fogo. / A tese tem como ponto de partida o canto em Prometheus ? a trag?dia do fogo. O espet?culo da Cia. Teatro Balagan, de S?o Paulo, tem dramaturgia de Leonardo Moreira e encena??o de Maria Tha?s Lima Santos. O trabalho de investiga??o articula-se a partir do canto, em suas m?ltiplas designa??es, tendo em primeira considera??o o canto integrando voz, palavra e performance. Como linguagem, o canto ? ve?culo de uma mem?ria, de uma arte. O termo ?canto?, plurissignificante, perpassa o objeto de an?lise e encontra seu sentido de acordo com o contexto em suas diferentes acep??es. A argumenta??o ? balizada pelos seguintes aspectos: 1. O canto como poesia ? em seus g?neros dram?tico, ?pico e l?rico. O canto ? o pr?prio mito; 2. O canto em cena ? a??o f?sica, vocal e verbal (voz/palavra/corpo/ato); o canto como palavra cantada, em seus princ?pios po?ticos, em sua oralidade, vocalidade e performance; o canto como composi??o musical; 3. Os cantos da cena ? cruzamento das distintas vozes na encena??o polif?nica de Prometheus. O estudo caracteriza-se pelo di?logo entre as ?reas do teatro, com seus m?ltiplos signos, e da literatura. Desdobrando-se em diferentes mat?rias de estudo, o canto revela-se uma estrat?gia de abordagem e leitura da po?tica de cena da Cia. Teatro Balagan no espet?culo Prometheus - a trag?dia do fogo.

Magister Artium - MA / This thesis will examine the representation of the figure of Percy Shelley in the text of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818). My hypothesis is that Percy Shelley represents to Mary Shelley a figure who embodies the contrasting and more startling aspects of both the Romantic Movement and the Enlightenment era. This I will demonstrate through a close examination of the text of Frankenstein and through an exploration of the figure of Percy Shelley as he is represented in the novel. The representation of Shelley is most marked in the figures of Victor and the Creature, but is not exclusively confined to them. The thesis will attempt to show that Victor and the Creature can be read as figures for the Enlightenment and the Romantic movements respectively. As several critics have noted, these fictional protagonists also represent the divergent elements of Percy Shelley’s own divided personality, as he was both a dedicated man of science and a radical Romantic poet. He is a figure who exemplifies the contrasting notions of the archetypal Enlightenment man, while simultaneously embodying the Romantic resistance to some aspects of that zeitgeist. Lately, there has been a resurgence of interest in the novel by contemporary authors, biographers and playwrights, who have responded to it in a range of literary forms. I will pay particular attention to Peter Ackroyd’s, The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein (2011), which shows that the questions Frankenstein poses to the reader are still with us today. I suggest that this is one of the main impulses behind this recent resurgence of interest in Mary Shelley’s novel. In particular, my thesis will explore the idea that the question of knowledge itself, and the scientific and moral limits which may apply to it, has a renewed urgency in early 21st century literature. In Frankenstein this is a central theme and is related to the figure of the “modern Prometheus”, which was the subtitle of Frankenstein, and which points to the ambitious figure who wishes to advance his own knowledge at all costs. I will consider this point by exploring the ways in which the tensions embodied by Percy Shelley and raised by the original novel are addressed in these contemporary texts. The renewed interest in these questions suggests that they remain pressing in our time, and continue to haunt us in our current society, not unlike the Creature in the novel.

Une approche de la synthèse d'architecture pour les circuits de communication a été étudiée dans ce mémoire de thèse: elle cherche à implanter systématiquement les protocoles des méthodes d'accès au médium (niveau MAC) à partir d'une description comportementale du protocole. Cette description est effectuée à partir d'un ensemble d'instructions dédiées appelé MACS, dont le compilateur a été prototypé rapidement. La synthèse est basée sur une architecture flexible de modèles qui analyse la syntaxe des trames et qui traite la sémantique des données temps-réel. La translation vers des architectures matérielles est effectuée à partir de graphes transformés qui représentent les caractéristiques du protocole et des méthodes simples d'allocation de modules dont les architectures sont définies au préalable. Cette approche nous permet de prototyper rapidement l'implantation des protocoles de communication de contrôle-commande pour étudier leur comportement par la simulation complète de tout le système. Les travaux de cette thèse ont été supportés en grande partie par le projet européen EURÊKA PROMETHEUS sur la Voiture Intelligente et Sûre qui nous a servi de champ d'application

In both Prometheus Unbound and Hellas Shelley used the drama of Aeschylus as the model for composition. Accordingly, the plays' subtitle "Lyrical Drama" refers to the two major components of Aeschylean drama: the lyrics recited by the chorus and the drama of character dialogue. In taking up this specific literary genre, the poet also inherited a complex model of the socio-political system of ancient Greece, with which the dramatists had been able to explore contemporary issues. Through various means, Shelley adapted Aeschylean drama to his own language and style, using the genre's inherent capacity for social critique to examine the concerns of his time.
