A presente tese de doutorado analisa, em perspectiva comparada, as convergências e divergências entre as dramaturgias do francês Jean Genet e do brasileiro Plínio Marcos, sob o prisma de três tópicos inegavelmente presentes, nelas: a violência, a revolta e a religiosidade. As questões de margem, borda, periferia, ex-centricidade, dissenso etc são abordadas neste trabalho para situar a ideia de outro como o referencial ontológico que sustenta a obra teatral de ambos. As respectivas biografias dos autores em questão, direta ou indiretamente, tem relação com a aura de marginalidade artística atribuída (e até assumida por eles próprios) a sua produção em geral (seus romances, poemas, ensaios e contos). Pode-se dizer que muito da persona que ambos assumiram correspondia às expectativas que os círculos intelectuais engajados tinham em adotar uma figura que viesse a encarnar o papel de autêntico porta-voz do segmento marginalizado da sociedade na qual cada um deles se criou. Ambos gozam de certo status de vanguardistas no caso do metateatro de Genet, na sua atribuída vinculação ao Teatro do Absurdo, e, no caso do hipernaturalismo dramático de Plínio, na sua atribuída (e mesmo confessa) descendência da linhagem criativa de caracteres e motivos do teatro de Nelson Rodrigues. Outro aspecto comum à dramaturgia de Genet e Plínio que abordamos é a problematização de dois espaços alegóricos definidores por excelência do ethos dos tipos humanos que o habitam: a prisão e o prostíbulo. Para tanto, ganham destaque, aqui, Alta vigilância e O Balcão, de Genet, e Barrela e O abajur lilás, de Plínio. Nelas também se verifica a figuração de motivos de inspiração religiosa que, no autor francês, concorrem para uma espécie de sacralização ritual do crime (o que ecoa o ideário de Antonin Artaud) e, no brasileiro, funcionam como um exercício catártico de compaixão à sombra de uma cristandade de feição primitiva que se insinua no tratamento que dá à degradação dos párias sociais que compõem seu universo dramático. Por fim, analisamos comparativamente três peças brasileiras (Pedro Mico, de Antonio Callado; Gimba, o presidente dos valentes, de Gianfrancesco Guarnieri; e Oração para um pé de chinelo, de Plínio Marcos) tomando como ponto de partida uma situação dramática comum a elas para traçar, assim, as afinidades e distinções de cada qual quanto à abordagem da criminalidade. E, assim, também, poder apontar o tipo de projeto de teatro a que cada uma se vincula, trazendo à tona questões caras ao momento histórico-cultural no qual foram compostas, como a figuração do negro e do favelado na sociedade brasileira / The present doctoral thesis analyses, in comparative perspective, the convergences and divergences between the dramaturgies of french Jean Genet and brazilian Plínio Marcos, through the prism of three topics which are undeniably present in both: violence, revolt and religiousness. The issues of margin, border, periphery, eccentricity, dissent etc are approached in this work in order to situate the idea of other as the ontological framework that supports the theatrical work of both authors. The biographies of both authors, directly or indirectly, are related to the aura of artistic marginality attributed (and even assumed by them) to their production in general (their novels, poems, essays and short stories). One may say that much of the persona assumed by the authors corresponded to the expectations that the engaged intellectual circles had of adopting a character that could embody the role of authentic spokesman of the marginalized segment of society in which each one of them were created. Both authors enjoy a certain avant-garde status in the case of Genets metatheatre, in his assigned binding to the Theater of the Absurd, and, in the case of Plínios dramatic hipernaturalism, in his assigned (and even confessed) ancestry of the creative lineage of characters and motives from Nelson Rodrigues theater. Another common aspect of the drama of Genet and Plínio that has been approached is the problematization of two allegorical spaces that perfectly define the ethos of human types that inhabit them: the prison and the whorehouse. Therefore, the highlights here are Deathwatch and The Balcony, by Genet, and Barrela and O abajur lilás, by Plínio. In all of them there is also the figuration of religion-inspired motifs that, in the french authors case, contribute as a type of ritual consecration of crime (which echoes in Antoin Artauds ideas) and, in the case of the brazilian author, function as a cathartic exercise of compassion in the shade of a primitive Christianity which is insinuated in the treatment given to the degradation of the social outcasts that compose his dramatic universe. Finally, we comparatively analyzed three brazilian plays (Pedro Mico, by Antonio Callado; Gimba, o presidente dos valentes, by Gianfrancesco Guarnieri; and Oração para um pé de chinelo, by Plínio Marcos) using as a starting point a dramatic situation common to them in order to trace the affinities and distinctions of each one regarding the approach to criminality. And thus, also, be able to indicate the type of theater project to which the authors are linked, bringing up issues that are dear to the cultural-historical moment in which they were composed, like the figuration of the black men and the people who lived in slums in brazilian society

O presente trabalho é uma análise das obras de Albert Camus e de Jean-Paul Sartre sob o ângulo do que o crítico russo E. M. Mielietínski designou, em sua A Poética do Mito, de remitologização moderna, fenômeno de revalorização do mito, forma de discurso e de pensamento supostamente arcaica, mas que, em pleno século XX era que deveria marcar o auge da dessacralização e autonomização racional do homem, ressurge como representação poderosa de explicitação da condição humana e do tempo presente. Um ressurgimento mais patente na literatura com as obras de Joyce, Kafka e Thomas Mann, entre outros, crítica literária e ciências humanas (especialmente a psicologia freudiana e junguiana e a etnologia), mas que também intervém de maneira significativa na filosofia ocidental, em bases que nos propomos a abordar em suas figurações particulares em Albert Camus e Jean-Paul Sartre. A célebre querela entre os dois, por conta da publicação por Camus de O Homem Revoltado, em 1952, oferece o contexto objetivo para uma investigação que, contudo, vai além de tal episódio, e mesmo das diferenças exclusivamente ideológicas e filosófico-doutrinais ali em questão. Tomando por eixo privilegiado de análise justamente O Homem Revoltado, pretendemos estudar os principais aspectos da armação mitopoética da obra, à luz de suas ressonâncias em outras obras do autor, para depois lançar pistas para um cotejo deste específico \"mitologismo moderno\" que também propomos desvendar enquanto fenômeno de \"camuflagem do sagrado\", segundo Mircea Eliade com o que Sartre apresenta especialmente na peça As Moscas, em suas concepções dramatúrgicas em geral e também em textos como \"Erostrato\" e o \"Prefácio\" de Os Condenados da Terra, de Frantz Fanon, no que nos propomos chamar de a antropo(a)gonia mítica sartriana, calcada no valor simbólico da violência para a gênese do humano, em contraste com a \"nostalgia participativa\" que, em Camus, une os homens entre si e com a Natureza. / This thesis analyzes the works of Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre by the perspective designated by the Russian critic E.M. Mielietínski in his book The Poetics of Myth, as modern remythologization, the phenomenon of revalorization of myth, a form of discourse and thought supposedly archaic but that in the 20th century an era that should mark the apex of man\'s secularism and rational autonomy reemerges as a powerful representation of the universal human condition and/or the present time. An evident resurgence in literature through the works of Joyce, Kafka and Thomas Mann, among others literary criticism and the humanities (especially Jungian Freudian and psychology as well as ethnology) but one that also intervenes in a significant manner in Western philosophy, on foundations which we propose to approach through the particular case of Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. The famous quarrel between the two, due to Camus\'s publication of The Rebel in 1952, offers the objective context for an investigation that reaches beyond that episode and the exclusively ideological differences and philosophical doctrines in question. Privileging an analysis of The Rebel, we intend to study the principal aspects of the book\'s mythic-poetic motif, in light of its resonance with the author\'s other works, in order to set the stage for a comparison of this specific \"modern mythology\" which we further propose to reveal using the \"camouflage of the sacred\" phenomenon, according to Mircea Eliade with that which Sartre presents, particularly in the theatrical piece The Flies, in his dramaturgical concepts in general and also in written works such as \"Erostrato\" and the preface to Franz Fanon\'s Wretched of the Earth, in what we propose to call the mythic Sartrian anthropo(a)gonv, draped in the symbolic value of violence to the human genesis, in contrast with the \"participatory nostalgia\" which, in Camus, unites men within themselves and Nature.

Tax revolts have existed since time immemorial and have been caused by many factors. The pay-now-argue-later principle, as used by South African Revenue Services is a provision in tax administration to compel a taxpayer to settle their tax debt despite their intention to challenge the assessment for instance in a tribunal. The interrelationship between a tax revolt and the pay-now-argue-later principle researches the history, development, and psychology of a tax revolt. It also looks at the pay-now-argue-later principle, the dynamics, its rationale, and constitutionality. Some of the questions considered are whether a challenge to the pay-now-argue-later principle amounts to a tax revolt and what is the impact of the pay-now-argue-later principle on the rights of a taxpayer, including the right to protest in section 17 of the Constitution. The study looks at whether South African Revenue Service can use the pay-now-argue-later principle in dealing with a tax revolt. There is dearth of legal literature and case law about a tax revolt in South Africa and the region while many studies exist on the pay-now-argue-later principle. This study endeavors to fill that gap. This is a desk-based research. In its conclusion, the research makes recommendations that could be adopted especially by the fiscus. / Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2021. / Mercantile Law / LLM / Unrestricted

Cette étude est consacrée aux expressions de la thématique de la révolte chez les écrivains belges Jean Muno (1924-1988), francophone, et Hugo Raes (1929-), néerlandophone. Il ne s’agit pas d’une étude comparée de leurs œuvres respectives, une approche exclue par les différences qui les séparent, mais d’une mise en valeur d’une thématique qui relie deux écrivains du même pays et de la même génération, tous deux actifs dans le domaine de la littérature de l’imaginaire. L’objectif est double : le premier est de relever et analyser les différentes composantes de la thématique de la révolte dans leurs textes. Le second est de cerner la particularité de leur fantastique à l’aide d’un modèle élaboré dans la section théorique du présent travail, inspiré par la théorie des prototypes telle qu’elle a été formulée par Eleanor Rosch. / This thesis focuses on the thematic of revolt in the work of the two Belgian writers Jean Muno (1924-1988), French-speaking, and Hugo Raes (1929-), Dutch-speaking. It is not a comparative study of their texts; the differences between them exclude such an approach. The present study highlights a thematic that connects two authors from the same country, of the same generation, both active in the field of fantastic literature. It has a double aim: the analysis of the different components of the thematic of revolt in their work is the first. The second is to define the distinctive features of their fantastic texts with the aid of a model elaborated in the theoretic section of the thesis, inspired by Eleanor Rosch’s prototype theory.

There are only a few works available dealing with the Czech Early New Times and not mentioning the name of Pavel Michna z Vacínova. The man who succeeded in overcoming barriers of his middle class origin and making himself an indispensable advisor to top representatives of the Czech Kingdom and even Emperor Ferdinand II and to manage elevation to Imperial Earldom towards the end of his life. Michna, a butcher's son from Budyně nad Ohří, became thanks to patronage of the High Chancellor of the Czech Kingdom Zdeněk Vojtěch Popel z Lobkowicz in the early part of the 17th century the Czech Kingdom Court Office Secretary and reinforced a group of catholic militants who gradually started to exploit the Czech Kingdom Court Office for the benefit of their own influence at the expense of Protestant majority. Even though Michna had signed the Imperial Charter of Rudolf II that guaranteed all subjects in the Kingdom freedom of worship, he alone prosecuted Protestants during his office period in the Czech Kingdom Court Office and was aiming to restrict their rights. The hate of Protestants against Michna culminated on May 23, 1618, when he should have been one of the victims of the Defenestration of Prague. He had learned of plans of the plotters on time and rescued himself fleeing to Vienna to the Imperial...

Gay Power! A Study of Male Homosexuality and Identity Politics in the Swedish GayPress 1971–1986 In this essay, the author examines the sexual policy ideas behind the Swedish gaymagazine Revolt in order to describe one aspect of the history of ideas about male homosexuality in Sweden. In particular, the study emphasize the social and cultural creation of meaning, as well as constructions of a homosexual male subject. The author has here focused on the ideas and theories that governed and influenced the magazine in a certain direction during the examined period 1971–1986. The overall purpose has been to study the gay press's perception of homosexuality, and what values about same sex-sexuality that have emerged in the material. The author distinguishes between two kinds of directions of ideas who have affected the magazine. One was the ideology of sexual liberalism, where the ambition was to break the silence and stigma when talking about sex in general, especially homosexuality. Within the framework of sexual liberalism, the magazine has intended to depict the many facets of homosexuality in words and images. The other direction was more focused on conducting identity politics where the sexual practice was dimmed to instead give preference to issues that valued a creation of a homosexual identity. The construction of such an identity has primarily been about creating cohesion and continuity among gay men, in order to strengthen the homosexual community inwards. But the identity politics has also implied a normalization of homosexuality. Likewise, it has limited the scope for sexual variations in relation to the creation of a homosexual subjectivity. By the mid-1980s, the identity politics had become so strong that Revolt came to be a magazine for gay men specifically, and earlier liberal ideas of sexuality became almost alienated. The male homosexuality became here an object of moralizing where some sexual practices were problematized and even made incomprehensible in the light of social changes in the homosexual community and in the society in general.

L’objectif de cette thèse est d’appréhender les relations entre le roi et les nobles à la fin des guerres de Religion. La période des guerres civiles est marquée par un affaiblissement de l’autorité monarchique. Pour rétablir l’ordre dans le royaume, le roi doit compter sur les nobles dont la vocation est de porter les armes. Or, beaucoup de ces seigneurs ne le reconnaissent pas comme roi légitime. Par la guerre, les négociations et une savante politique de légitimation, Henri IV parvient à les rallier progressivement à son autorité. Cette thèse vise à comprendre ce processus de réconciliation, sur quelles bases il repose et comment les nobles contribuent à la redéfinition du pouvoir après ces périodes de troubles. Car si la paix est rétablie dans le royaume à partir de 1598 avec la paix de Vervins et l’édit de Nantes, les contestations nobiliaires ne sont pas totalement éteintes et éclatent à plusieurs reprises jusqu’en 1629. Les modalités de la révolte sont donc au cœur de cette thèse, c’est-à-dire la façon dont les nobles expriment leur mécontentement et justifient leurs oppositions au souverain. La cour est un cadre privilégié pour observer les dynamiques de pouvoir qui se jouent entre le souverain et les nobles, hommes et femmes. Le choix d’une période comprise 1589 et 1629 permet de suivre l’évolution de ces rapports à l’autorité monarchique et de mesurer le poids de l’honneur, moteur de l’action nobiliaire, mais aussi de la défense de la foi dans les prises de position nobiliaires. Cette longue période permet d’appréhender en quoi les contestations nobiliaires contribuent à la construction monarchique dans une période marquée par des conflits religieux. / The aim of this thesis is to understand the relationships between the King and the nobles at the end of the Wars of Religion. This period is marked by a weakening of the royal authority and the division of nobility between factions with different religious faiths. In order to restore order in the kingdom, the King must rely upon nobles whose vocation is to bear arms. However, many nobles don’t recognize him like as a legitimate sovereign. Through war, negotiations and a wise policy of legitimation, Henri IV achieves his goal of rallying them behind his authority. This thesis aims to understand this reconciliation process, on what basis it is founded and how nobles contribute to redefine royal power. Even though peace has been restored since 1598 with the Peace of Vervins and the Edict of Nantes, protests of nobility are not shut and flared several times until 1629. The modalities of the revolt are at the heart of this thesis, that is, the way nobles express their discontent and justify their oppositions against the sovereign. The court provides an ideal environment for the observation of the power dynamics between the King and nobles, men and women. The choice of the period from 1589 up to 1629 allows one to follow the evolution of the relations with the monarchical authority and evaluate the weight of honor, driving force of nobility action as well as the defense of faith in the nobles’ positions. This extensive period allows to apprehend how nobility protests contribute to the building of the monarchy during a period marked by religious conflicts.

No final do século XVIII, o poderio econômico da França repousava essencialmente sobre o comércio que o país realizava com as suas colônias. Graças, principalmente, ao açúcar e ao café de São Domingos, a \"pérola das Antilhas\", o comércio colonial francês atingia o seu auge no mesmo momento em que o país rumava para um processo violento de transformação de suas instituições. Ao mesmo tempo, havia, na metrópole, questionamentos a respeito da gestão de colônias cada vez mais povoadas de escravos, arrancados de seus lares para exercer o cultivo nas plantations. Nesse contexto, em 1788, formou-se a primeira organização antiescravista francesa, a Sociedade dos Amigos dos Negros. Sob a liderança de alguns dos principais personagens do período revolucionário, como Brissot, Clavière, Mirabeau, La Fayette e Condorcet, essa sociedade de nobres, homens de letras e financistas procurou introduzir a questão do tráfico negreiro na ordem do dia dos debates políticos que marcaram a Revolução francesa. Procuramos, no presente trabalho, retraçar a atividade desses homens, cuja moderação contrasta com o rumo que a questão colonial tomou, a partir da grande insurreição dos escravos em São Domingos, de agosto de 1791. Acreditamos que o estudo dos limites do discurso antiescravista do final do século XVIII e da política colonial das assembleias revolucionárias traz consigo ensinamentos sobre os limites da própria Revolução francesa. / At the end of the 18th century, France\'s economic power relied foremost on trade with its colonies. Thanks to the sugar and coffee produced in Saint-Domingue, the \"pearl of the Antilles\", French colonial commerce reached its peak at the very moment the country was moving toward a violent process of radical institutional transformation. At the same time, it was a moment of interrogations about the administration of colonies whose slave population was in continuous increase. In this context, in 1788, the first French antislavery organization was created, the Society of the Friends of the Blacks. Under the leadership of some of the key-characters of the revolutionary period, like 7 Brissot, Clavière, Mirabeau, La Fayette and Condorcet, this society of nobles, intellectuals and financiers endeavored to bring the issue of slave trade to the political debate that marked the French Revolution. We intend, with this study, to retrace the activities of those men, whose moderation of principles was in contrast with the turn of events that marked the colonial space, with the slave insurrection of August 1791, in Saint-Domingue. We hope that, by approaching the limits of the antislavery program of the late-18th century and of the colonial policies of the revolutionary assemblies, this study might offer teachings on the limits of the Revolution itself.
