It is suggested here that each one of Vin?cius?poem represents a step of what Bloom calls anxiety of influence . The misreading proposed confronts the themes and the imagery of the poems, arguing that Shelley and Vin?cius are similar when they approach exploitation and working class consciousness according to the Dialectic Marxism pattern, and that Vin?cius?s poem was not only inspired by Shelley s, but using one of the strategies suggested by Bloom, he corrects the ideological flaws of Shelley s poem. It is also discussed the possibility that both poems are inspired by Plato?s (428-7 a 348-7 a.C.) allegory of the cave, his concept of justice and the moral construction of the polis defended in A Rep?blica. Thus, considering the process of misreading, these five poems constitute what Bloom calls a family romance , which is characterizes the phenomenon of melancholy of creativity / Esse trabalho busca atrav?s de uma perspectiva comparativista e usando a metodologia de Harold Bloom (1930-), oferecer uma desleitura de tr?s poemas de Vin?cius de Moraes (1913-1980), a saber Po?tica (1950), Oper?rio em constru??o (1955), Po?tica II (1960) frente a Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) e seu poema A Song: Men of England (1818), sugerindo que o poeta brasileiro travou uma verdadeira luta ag?nica com a sua tr?ade po?tica, sendo Oper?rio em Constru??o a principal arma do combate. Defende-se aqui que cada poema de Vin?cius representa uma etapa do que Bloom chama de ang?stia da influ?ncia . A desleitura proposta consiste em confrontar os temas e as imagens dos poemas, argumentando que Shelley e Vin?cius assemelham-se ao abordar a explora??o e conscientiza??o oper?ria nos moldes postulados pelo marxismo dial?tico e que, sugestivamente, Vin?cius n?o s? foi inspirado por Shelley, como corrigiu as fraquezas ideol?gicas do poeta ingl?s. Apresenta-se tamb?m a possibilidade da rela??o dos poemas em quest?o com o mito da caverna de Plat?o (428-7 a 348-7 a.C.), poeta cujo conceito de justi?a e constru??o moral da polis contidos em A Rep?blica tamb?m parecem servir de inspira??o a Shelley e Vin?cius. Desse modo, considerando o processo de desleitura , os cinco poemas formam um romance familiar que ? um dos n?veis de relacionamento de poemas, caracterizando, segundo Harold Bloom, o fen?meno da melancolia da criatividade

Consideramos as categorias de "bloco histórico", "mito" e "cisão de classes" como emblemáticas a respeito. Além disso, são os mais agudos representantes do pensamento revisionista na Europa a "vanguarda do pensamento adversário", a qual cumpria chamar em desafio para, assimilando seus momentos mais elaborados, superá-la criticamente conferindo um novo vigor à filosofia da práxis. Supomos ser esta uma das vias perseguidas por Gramsci nos Cadernos. De nossa parte, procuraremos apontar e discutir os momentos de apropriação e assimilação crítica, por parte de Gramsci, do pensamento revisionista representado, sobretudo, por Georges Sorel. Antes disso, porém, seguiremos a constituição daquele pensamento, desde seus momentos mais conhecidos, a partir da Alemanha, passando pelas suas expressões mais importantes na França e na Itália para, após compreendermos historicamente seu contexto "marginal" (ou seja, fora da Alemanha), alcançarmos o debate que nos compete de forma mais central, qual seja Georges Sorel nos Cadernos do Cárcere como um importante depositário da herança revisionista / Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the hypothesis that central categories present in Prison Notebooks come from the critical assimilation of concepts developed by Georges Sorel, in a personal trajectory in which the French thinker was involved in the revisionist production of his time, in direct or indirect dialogue with her. We consider the categories of "historical block", "myth" and "class scission" as emblematic. Furthermore, are the most acute representatives of revisionist thinking in Europe the "vanguard of the opponent's thought", which fulfilled the call in defiance to assimilating their more elaborate moments, overcome it critically conferring a new force to the philosophy of praxis. This is assumed to be a persecuted way in the Prison Notebooks. We will point out and discuss the moments of critical assimilation and appropriation by Gramsci of the revisionist thinking represented, above all, by Georges Sorel. Before that, however, we will follow the constitution of that thought, since their best-known moments, from Germany, through its most important expressions in France and in Italy for, after we understand historically its "marginal" context (i.e. outside of Germany), we can achieve the debate that we consider in a more central point of view, which is Georges Sorel in Cadernos do Cárcere as an important depository of revisionist inheritance / Doutorado / Teoria Política / Doutor em Ciência Política

The diploma thesis deals with Marxist philosophy in Czechoslovakia between 1956 and 1968, it focuses especially on Marxist humanism. The XX. Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956 and the Khrushchev's critique of Stalinism gave opportunity for critical approach in Marxist philosophy. Marxist humanism came with the turn to questions of man and his world and it refused the dehumanizing system of Stalinism. The campaign against revisionism was led in regimes of the Eastern Block between 1956 and 1960 as a reaction to critical efforts in Marxist theory and practice. The campaign against revisionism was led in Czechoslovakia against efforts of separation philosophy from ideology or emphasis to Hegelian origins of Marxism. Areas where was evolving critical thinking and original approach to Marxism were arising in the 1950s and especially in 1960s in Czechoslovakia. Examples of this areas were the Institute of Philosophy of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and the dialogue between Marxists and Christians. In this thesis I examine thinking of Karel Kosík, Robert Kalivoda and Milan Machovec on questions of history and man. Through these themes I show different approaches to Marxist humanism in Czechoslovakia between the 1950s and 1960s. Marxist humanism is often seen as an unitary...

This thesis aims to position Circe by Madeline Miller as an example of feminist revisionist mythmaking and investigate some of the novel’s revisionary practices. I thus begin by introducing the project of feminist revisionism, as conceptualized by several different feminist thinkers. I then move on to describe two methods by which Circe reimagines the stories of the Epic Cycle. I argue that the first method, in the analysis of which I primarily use the work of the formalist Caroline Levine on hierarchies, is to subvert gender and immortality – two world-organizing binaries of Greek myth. I then make the argument that Circe also revises myth on the level of narrative, which I support with Teresa de Lauretis’ work on narrative morphology. The study concludes that both these methods are being employed in Circe and are successful in reimagining myth from a feminist perspective. My thesis results in a better understanding of the ways in which Greek myth is being rewritten by contemporary feminists in popular literature.

Masters of Commerce / Highly enriched uranium (HEU) is one of the most dangerous materials in the world, because it is a key ingredient in making a nuclear bomb. If a terrorist organisation can get HEU, it would be close to making a nuclear bomb. After South Africa disarmed its nuclear weapons, it kept HEU that was extracted from the nuclear bombs. The US tried to persuade South Africa to blend down its HEU into low enriched uranium (LEU) or give it up for safekeeping. However, South Africa refused to give it up. After a breach at Pelindaba, a national key point facility where South Africa stores its HEU, the US intensified its efforts to pressure South Africa to give its HEU up. It even promised incentives to South Africa should they agree to give it up, but South Africa refused. The US used the nuclear terrorism narrative to justify its initiative to eliminate vulnerable materials in the world. However, South Africa is yet to be swayed. This is odd since South Africa's refusal can negatively affect its credentials as a nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament champion and its image as a norm entrepreneur. The objective of the study was to understand the role played by HEU in South Africa's nuclear diplomacy. It was to explore HEU as a factor in the state's nuclear diplomacy and to understand the power of having HEU in nuclear negotiations, as well as what SA intends to do with its HEU. The study is framed theoretically by drawing on foreign policy theory, namely middle-power theory, and revisionism. It juxtaposed middle power, reformist, and revisionist positions with status quo foreign policy to analyse the role of HEU in South Africa's nuclear diplomacy. As a middle power with a moral high ground, South Africa hoped that it can affect change in the nuclear regime. However, when this did not occur its foreign policy shifted to a revisionist character that is discontent with the status quo in the nuclear regime. SA is dissatisfied with the current nuclear order and wants it revised towards liberal values such as equality and non-discrimination. It views the current nuclear order as nuclear apartheid. Therefore, South Africa uses HEU as leverage against nuclear weapon states in nuclear diplomacy. It is using HEU as an act of defiance against nuclear weapon states (such as the US) that are yet to disarm their nuclear weapons.

This thesis is an examination of the influence and impact of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, post 1968, on the practice of Irish history, on southern Irish broadcast media and on the southern Irish modernisation process. I will examine the uneasy and contested transition in systems of hegemony in a society where the state is not coterminous with perceptions of nationhood, where society is anxiously suspended between conservation of its existence and popular nationalist aspirations, where southern economic dependency interacted uneasily with northern political instability and sectarianism. The thesis examines the ‘Ulsterisation’ of the War of Independence by some historians and its aftermath as an ideological project. It pays particular attention, using the case-study method, to the imposition of a sectarian character on republican forces during the war of independence by the highly influential Newfoundland historian Peter Hart, and will explain why this research is ideologically problematic within Irish historiography. I will link this to (in a second case-study) the project undertaken in the early 1970s by Irish government minister (also an academic historian and political scientist) Conor Cruise O’Brien to undermine and eradicate from popular awareness secular anti-imperialist aspects of Irish nationalist consciousness, primarily through, in case-study three, the imposition of broadcasting censorship and support for repression. I question O’Brien’s positing of a ‘Catholic nationalism’ as an overarching basis for Irish statehood by, in case-study four, an examination the largely unexplored socio-economic position of Protestants in southern Ireland and the forms of social control imposed on and within that community. The thesis examines how official reaction to the conflict combined repression and broadcasting censorship during the 1970s to revise popular perceptions of Irish history and Irish society. Control of understanding of the present was combined with attempts to take control of perceptions of the past, in order to circumscribe the parameters of what is feasible in the present, so as to preserve the socio-economic status quo. It specifically explores the impact of the post 1968 Northern Ireland conflict on: • The attempt by proponents of Irish revisionist historiography to portray Irish resistance to British rule as ‘Catholic nationalism’ and as a mirror image generally of Ulster unionist sectarianism; in the context of • The simultaneous transformational change of economic direction in the southern Irish economy and society, which imparted to this project increased impetus, opportunity and political scope.

Esta tese procura identificar quais eram os principais objetivos intelectuais e políticos de Juan Natalicio González (1897-1966), um escritor paraguaio que desempenhou um amplo leque de atividades jornalista, ensaísta, editor, político, militante do Partido Colorado e diplomata. A partir da análise de suas biografias, de seus próprios textos (autobiografia, ensaios e a revista Guarania) e do resgate feito pela historiografia, consideramos que González atingiu parcialmente suas ambições políticas, na medida em que chegou a ser presidente de seu país, foi derrubado e já não pôde voltar a ocupar um papel protagonista na cena política nacional. Por outro lado, teve grande sucesso na difusão e na consolidação da interpretação revisionista da história paraguaia, ao articular-se em diversos grupos de intelectuais latino-americanos que reproduziram amplamente sua versão da história. / This thesis seeks to identify the main intellectual and political objectives of Juan Natalicio González (1897-1966), a Paraguayan writer who played an extensive variety of activities (journalist, essayist, editor, politician, Colorado Partys member and diplomatic). From the analysis of their biographies, their own texts (autobiography, essays and magazine Guarania) and the study done by historians we consider that Gonzalez partially achieved his political ambitions, because he became president of his country but he was deposed and did not return to play a leading role in the national political scene. He succeeded in spreading and consolidation of the revisionist interpretation of Paraguayan history, after participating in various groups of Latin American intellectuals who widely reproduced his version of the history.

This dissertation examines landscape as a concept for analysis and interpretation in film studies by considering the New Hollywood cinema in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Contextualized within the contested notion of nationhood at the time as well as the concern among filmmakers to probe the properties, practices and traditions of American cinema, this was also a period when landscape underwent widespread redefinition as a field of artistic and academic practice. From the outset an aesthetic and pictorial concept, landscape is understood as consisting of a number of interacting ideas and systems of representation which are addressed in terms of intermedial relations. Not something to be encountered or discovered and fixed on canvas or film, landscape involves an ongoing process of construction, appropriation and transformation. Departing from a discussion of the historical role landscape has played in cultural practices of self-representation and self-definition, this study is concerned with how it can be turned against itself and used as a point of departure for adversary and antagonistic views of national myths and media. The organization is roughly chronological, based around a series of reconsiderations of key films, mainly focusing on road movies and genre-revisionist work of the period. Rather than a repository of stable identities and values, each chapter shows how landscape can be advanced in a process of reflecting on attempts to impose meaning, order and linearity. Taken together, Out of Site argues that an engagement with the surfaces and depths of landscape enables new perspectives on the interrelations between the highbrow and the popular, aesthetics and ideology. Bringing attention to how story patterns and audience expectations are displaced, landscape is examined for the questions it raises regarding representational and narrative strategies, the formation of identity and memory, and our own habits of reading.
