This thesis explores how both texts - The Da Vinci Code and The Mists of Avalon - write femininity onto the Holy Grail in seemingly problematic ways, and the way in which women's voices, through the feminization of the Grail, are often silenced.

Author of Alice s Adventures In Wonderland and its sequel Alice Through The Looking Glass, he eventually created a real and complex universe which uses what we call the logic of the nonsense as an element to motivate the development of mathematical thinking of the reader, taking it as well, learn by establishing a link between the concrete (mathematics) and the imaginary (their universe). In order to investigate and discuss the educational potential of their works and state some elements that can contribute to a decentralized math education from the traditional method of following the models and decorate formulas, we visited his works based on the studies of archeology of knowledge (FOUCAULT, 2007), the rational thought and symbolic thinking (VERGANI, 2003) and about the importance of stories and narratives to the development of human cognition (FARIAS, 2006). Through a descriptive, analytical study, we used the literary construction and presented part of our study in form of a mathematical novel, to give the mathematical school a particular charm, without depriving it of its basics properties as discipline and content. Our study showed how the works of Carroll have a strong didactic element that can deploy in various activities of study and teaching for mathematics classes / Ex?mio professor de matem?tica, Lewis Carroll, pseud?nimo de Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 1898), fez da mistura da matem?tica com a literatura um ambiente l?dico para a aprendizagem dessa disciplina. Autor dos conhecidos Alice no pa?s das Maravilhas e Alice atrav?s do espelho, acabou criando um universo real e complexo no qual se utiliza do que chamamos l?gica do nonsense como elemento para motivar o desenvolvimento do pensamento matem?tica do leitor, levando-o, assim, a aprender, estabelecendo uma liga??o entre o concreto (matem?tica) e o imagin?rio (seu universo). Com o objetivo de investigar e discutir as potencialidades did?ticas de suas obras e de elencar alguns elementos que possam contribuir para uma educa??o matem?tica descentralizada da tradicional metodologia de seguir os modelos e decorar f?rmulas, visitamos suas obras tendo por base os estudos sobre arqueologia do saber (FOUCAULT, 2007), o pensamento racional e o pensamento simb?lico (VERGANI, 2003) e sobre a import?ncia das hist?rias e narrativas para o desenvolvimento da cogni??o humana (FARIAS, 2006). Por meio de um estudo descritivo-anal?tico, utilizamos a constru??o liter?ria, apresentamos parte de nosso estudo na forma de um romance matem?tico, visando conferir ? matem?tica escolar um encanto particular, sem privar-lhe de suas propriedades b?sicas enquanto disciplina e conte?do. Nosso estudo mostrou o quanto as obras de Carroll possuem uma forte vertente did?tica que pode se desdobrar nas mais variadas atividades de estudo e ensino para as aulas de matem?tica

In Marion Zimmer Bradley's retelling of the Arthurian legends, The Mists of Avalon, she creates two dystopic cultures: Avalon and Camelot. Contrasting Bradley's account of the legends with the traditional version, Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, reveals that Bradley's sweeping revisions of the tradition do little to create a feminist ideal. A skeptical questioning of the text's plot and characters with the Women's Movement in mind opens an interpretation of the text as a critique of feminism itself.

Velmi utěšená a kratochvílná historie o krásné panně Mageloně, dceři krále z Neapolis, a o jednom rytíři jménem Petrovi, znamenitého hraběte z Provincí synu (The Delightful and Entertaining Story of the Beautiful Young Maiden Maguelone, Daughter of the King of Naples, and of a certain Knight called Peter, the Son of the Distinguished Count of Provence) printed anonymously in Olomouc in 1780, is one of those works into which literary science has hitherto scarcely ever inquired. It is nevertheless a text with a very long and complex genesis. We can follow its development from a medieval French tale of love, via a German adaptation to an early modern Czech popular prose romance. In the story of Maguelone, close attention is paid, as the very title suggests, to the main heroine, which is also a theme which in research into older Czech literature has been hitherto rather neglected. In the present thesis, we focus therefore on the analysis of this character. In particular, we try to show how the way she is portrayed is significantly influenced by the medieval conception of courtly literature, despite the fact that courtly epic literature is not otherwise particularly well documented in literature written in Czech and left no particularly rich tradition behind it. Key words: courtly love, courtly literature,...

Orientador: Álvaro Luiz Hattnher / Banca: Nilce Maria Pereira / Banca: Waldomiro Vergueiro / Resumo: Lourenço Mutarelli teve uma produção quadrinhística intensa durante a década de noventa. Após um período produzindo fanzines e histórias curtas, ele passa a criar uma série de álbuns com histórias densas, marcadas por personagens perturbadas. Esta pesquisa pretende refletir sobre sua narrativa nos álbuns Transubstanciação, Eu te amo Lucimar e Confluência da Forquilha; como desenvolve sua construção quadrinhística, identificando as especificidades da narrativa visual de Lourenço Mutarelli e, consequentemente, algumas possibilidades da linguagem dos quadrinhos. A obra de Mutarelli é diferenciada e autoral, seus recortes narrativos fragmentados, a visão de um mundo deformado e caótico, a união de diferentes formas visuais - desenhos ora realistas, ora deformados, misturados a elementos fotográficos - e verbais - falas coloquiais se misturando a poemas e notas explicativas - acarretam em uma obra plural, que necessita de um esforço criativo para o processo de leitura e análise, uma vez que extrapola os limites de análises tradicionais, imperando a subjetividade e a incerteza. Ainda que seja autor de grande importância para a HQ nacional e tenha sido um dos precursores dos romances gráficos no Brasil, muito de sua produção quadrinhística ainda não foi amplamente estudada, a se destacar seus primeiros álbuns. Assim, pretendemos delimitar alguns aspectos da poética do autor, além de possibilidades de leitura desses trabalhos que representam um marco para as histórias em quadrinhos brasileiras / Abstract: Lourenço Mutarelli had an intense comics production during the nineties. After a period producing fanzines and short stories, he starts to create a series of albums with dense stories, characterized by disturbed characters. This research intends to reflect about his narrative in the albums Transubstanciação, Eu te amo Lucimar and Confluência da Forquilha; how Lourenço Mutarelli develops his comics construction, identifying the visual narrative specificities and, consequently, some possibilities of the comics language. Mutarelli's work is distinguished and authorial, his narrative cuts are fragmented, the vision of a deformed and chaotic world, the union of different visual forms - drawings that are sometimes realistic, sometimes deformed, combined with photographic elements - and verbal forms - colloquial speech combined with poems and explanatory notes - creates a plural work, that needs a creative effort to the reading process and analysis, once it goes beyond the limits of the traditional analyses, overcoming the subjectivity and uncertainty. Even though the author has a great importance for the national comics and is one of the forerunners of the graphic novels in Brazil, much of his comics production hasn't been widely studied yet, especially his early albums. Therefore, we intend to delimit some aspects of the author's poetics, in addition to the reading possibilities of these works that represent a mark for the Brazilian comics / Mestre

O propósito deste trabalho é mostrar que na concepção do Romance d A Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta, do escritor paraibano Ariano Suassuna, estão presentes, como elementos constitutivos, dois (sub)gêneros narrativos de origem hispânica, os livros de cavalaria e o romance picaresco, antagônicos, em sua origem. Fortemente vinculados a um tempo e a um espaço bem definidos, eles passam por adaptações para deslocar-se adequadamente para a ambiência dA Pedra do Reino. O autor incorpora em seu texto um farto acervo de manifestações da cultura popular nordestino-sertaneja (em cujas características híbridas se acentuam os traços de origem ibérica) como catalisador, encaixe e amálgama desses elementos. Recorre-se, no trabalho, à análise comparativa, com o propósito de identificar as marcas dos gêneros aludidos e os mecanismos adaptativos, aos quais recorre o autor. / The purpose of this paper is to show that in the conception of the novel Romance dA Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta by the Brazilian writer Ariano Suassuna, the chivalry books and the picaresque novel, two narrative subgenres of Hispanic origin, stand out as constitutive elements. Strongly attached to a well defined notion of time and space, they go through adaptations to suit adequately the environment of the Romance dA Pedra do Reino. The author includes in his narrative an extensive collection of Northeast-centered popular cultural manifestations (in whose hybrid characteristics are stressed out Iberian traits) as catalyst and amalgam of these elements. The comparative analysis is used with the aim of identifying the traits of the gender models considered and the adaptable mechanisms employed by the author.
