O arrivismo social, tema largamente abordado na literatura do século XIX, tem uma de suas grandes representações em na personagem Julien Sorel do romance Le rouge et le noir (1830) de Stendhal. Sorel é uma personagem verdadeiramente engendrada pelos acontecimentos históricos e sociais da época em que o romance foi escrito. Beneficiando-se de seu conhecimento dolatim e da Bíblia, vai aos poucos conquistando posições vantajosas nas casas em que é acolhido como preceptor e secretário. Escrito quase meio século depois de Le rouge et le noir, A mão e a luva (1874), do brasileiro Machado de Assis se passa no Rio de Janeiro do Segundo Reinado. Diferentemente de Stendhal, Machado de Assis não constrói a trama da heroína Guiomar a partir de fatos históricos específicos. Entretanto, a obra brasileira propicia ao leitor uma aguçada percepção dos costumes vigentes no Segundo Reinado, em mais de uma esfera social. Do nascimento humilde à vida adulta confortável, a trajetória de Guiomar traz à tona nuanças de uma sociedade em transformação. Esse estudo tem por objetivo observar a construção e o desenvolvimento dos protagonistas Julien Sorel e Guiomar em seus respectivos contextos literários, a fim de estabelecer, entre as narrativas, possíveis conexões. Não obstante, ao longo do trabalho, para além das semelhanças, tais como capacidade de adaptação e ambição, pôde-se perceber diferenças substanciais entre Julien e Guiomar: enquanto aquele destaca-se por não se adequar à norma social estabelecida, esta encaixa-se perfeitamente na sociedade em que vive, dominando amplamente suas regras. É o que tentaremos demonstrar e o que faz o objeto dessa dissertação. / The theme of social ambition, widely explored in 19th century literature, finds in the character Julien Sorel of Stendhals 1830 novel The Red and the Black one of its greatest representations. Sorel is truly engendered by the historical and social events of the novels period. By taking advantage of his knowledge of Latin and the Bible, he gradually gains a privileged position in those houses where he comes to work as a tutor and secretary. Written almost half a century after The Red and the Black, The Hand and the Glove (1874), by Brazilian writer Machado de Assis, takes place in Rio de Janeiro during the 1850s. Unlike Stendhal, Machado does not build his heroine Guiomars plot from specific historical events. Yet the novel offers the reader a heightened perception of life during the Second Reign, in more than one social class. From her humble origins to her comfortable adult life, Guiomars trajectory brings out the nuances of a changing society. The present study observes the construction and development of both protagonists Sorel and Guiomar in their respective literary contexts, in order to establish possible connections between the two narratives. Their similarities notwithstanding, such as their adaptability and ambition, this research has also identified substantial differences between Sorel and Guiomar. While he stands out for not conforming to the established social norms, she becomes perfectly adapted to the social environment where she lives, in complete control of its rules. This is the main object and argument of this dissertation.

The purpose of this study was to examine the adjustment experiences of African American graduates of historically Black colleges or universities (HBCUs) attending graduate school at a Southern predominantly White university (PWU). A discussion of narratives and themes across participants provided information about the adjustment experiences of African American graduate students who transitioned from a university community where the student population was predominantly African American to one where African American students were the minority. This information can be utilized by both PWUs and HBCUs to develop resources that address issues related to adjustment for African American graduate students. This study was phenomenological by design and focused on analyzing the adjustment experiences of 11 female African American graduate students attending a Southern PWU. Participants were between the ages of 22-28, graduated from 10 different HBCUs across 8 states, represented 8 different graduate majors and had been in graduate school an average of 3.5 semesters. Research methodology included participant interviews, demographic questionnaires and investigator field notes. Collected data were analyzed using a coding iteration strategy. Descriptions of participant experiences were documented and ten prominent themes emerged from the data: support systems, negative emotionality, distrust, academic frustration, lack of African American presence, non-cohesive African American community, racial microaggressions, prior acquaintances and resilience. / Ph.
