Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar as memórias do escritor Pedro Nava, destacando as estratégias de autorrepresentação adotadas pelo autor nas obras Baú de osso e Balão cativo. Essas duas obras compreendem as etapas do nascimento até os treze anos do memorialista, ou seja, período no qual Pedro Nava recebeu as maiores influências para sua formação. Analisamos que os autobiografemas elementos comuns nas escritas de si foram utilizados por Pedro Nava para moldar uma autofiguração de pesquisador, observador, analista de perfis humanos, além de grande leitor e intelectual. Abordamos a história familiar, a descoberta do mundo através das cidades, a paixão pelos livros e as experiências como interno dos colégios Anglo-Mineiro e Pedro II. Locais, inclusive, de descobertas para o caminho da medicina e da literatura. Consideramos que esses procedimentos fazem parte de um processo de construção de sua autoimagem / This dissertation investigates the memories of writer Pedro Nava, giving prominence to strategies of self-representation adopted by the author in Baú de ossos and Balão cativo. These two books show the stages up to thirteen years since the birth of memorialist, in other words, the period in which Pedro Nava received the best influences for your formation. We analyzed ordinary of autobiography wich have been used by Pedro Nava to shape a self-concept of researcher, observer, analyst of human profile, as well as a great reader and intellect. We addressed the family history, his discovery of the world through cities, his passion for books and his experiences at boarding schools such Anglo-Mineiro and Pedro II. In these places, he discovered skills for medical sciences and literature. We considered these procedures are parts of process of the construction of the your self-concept

Chapter 1 of Phenomenal Acquaintance is devoted to taking care of some preliminary issues. I begin by distinguishing those states of awareness in virtue of which we’re acquainted with the phenomenal characters of our experiences from those states of awareness some claim are at the very nature of experience. Then I reconcile the idea that experience is transparent with the claim that we can be acquainted with phenomenal character. In Chapter 2 I set up a dilemma that is the primary focus of the dissertation. In the first part of this chapter I argue that phenomenal acquaintance has three key features, what I call its ‘directness’, ‘thickness’, and ‘infallibility’. In the second part I argue, however, that it’s really quite puzzling how thoughts about phenomenal character (or any thoughts, for that matter) could have them. In the next two chapters I consider how we might resolve the dilemma described above. I begin in Chapter 3 by considering an account of phenomenal acquaintance inspired by Bertrand Russell’s discussion of acquaintance. The general idea here is to excise mental representation from phenomenal acquaintance, and I ultimately reject the proposal. Chapter 4 is the core chapter of Phenomenal Acquaintance. In it I propose an account of phenomenal acquaintance that doesn’t excise mental representation. My account is comprised of three theses. First, token experiences are complex and have instances of phenomenal properties as components. Second, instances of phenomenal properties are mental representations, and they represent themselves. Third, the attention relevant to phenomenal acquaintance is underwritten by self-representation. I argue that my account explains how phenomenal acquaintance is direct, thick, and infallible, thereby resolving our dilemma. I argue in Chapter 5 that my account of phenomenal acquaintance explains why there is an explanatory gap between the phenomenal and non-phenomenal truths. Accordingly, I conclude that the explanatory gap doesn’t pose a problem for physicalism. Here I implement what has come to be called the ‘phenomenal concept strategy’ for responding to the challenge posed by the explanatory gap.

Exploring the cycloid temperament has been attempted throughout the ages by various pioneers in psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis. Contemporary psychiatric approaches have estimated that cycloid pathology, most evident as Bipolar Disorder, accounts for more than 1% of the population and is seen as the sixth leading cause of all illnesses. Despite the latter it is remains a desperately understudied area psychologically. Theoretically, BD is known for (1) its complex epidemiology, (2) costly treatment, (3) occupational impairment; (4) its negative interpersonal implications, (5) negative domestic effects, (6) forensic consequences, (7) death due to suicide and accidents, (8) cost in treatment, and finally, and most importantly from a humanistic perspective, (9) BD's diminished quality of life. Given the various realities faced by those suffering from Bipolar disorder the current study aimed at describing, through the use of the Rorschach Comprehensive system (CS), the self and object-representations, as well as the affect experiences of fifty, predominantly Bipolar I inpatients. The patients were selected through opportunity sampling at two provincial psychiatric hospitals in South Africa and included Caucasian, African and Colored respondents. All protocols were administered and scored by trained CS clinicians and re-scored by both the author and supervisor. Fifteen protocols were thereafter randomly assigned to three inter-raters and a high level of inter-rater reliability seemed evident. Given various inherent limitations of the study, that is, (a) a study of limited scope, (b) the heterogeneous nature of the sample and the reliance on opportunity sampling, (c) the small sample size, (d) lack of a control group, and (d) the focus of the study as exploratory-descriptive in nature, basic descriptive statistic were relied upon. Despite the various limitations, the results obtained seemed to hint at the possibility of a Neglected Self, characterised by difficulties in modulating affect in moderation, lack of self-esteem and positive self-regard, difficulties in introspection and self-inspecting behaviour, a general lack of interpersonal comfort and feelings of threat, as well as affectional and representational constriction. The presence of impaired self-regulation and reflection, possible perceptual differences in sensory-affective reactivity and processing, as well as difficulties in representational elaboration and differentiation needs further research and comparison to other psychiatric disorders. Basic therapeutic inferences were also discussed that may support those who treat cycloid patients. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Psychology / unrestricted

This research is an interdisciplinary work on the use of media by marginalized ethnic minorities for self-representation, using as its frame of reference scholars such as Faye Ginsburg, Gayatri Spivak, Judith Butler, Stuart Hall, Achille Mbembe, and David Harvey. Specifically, this dissertation examines Indigenous communities in Brazil and the Roma (Gypsy) population of Spain, uncovering the multiple discourses through which ethnic identities have to be negotiated within a larger dominant culture, especially in contexts of globalization, and brings to this discussion the theorization of new media. These two highly stigmatized populations have been finding new and more democratic venues for collectively defining their own cultures in the complex process of identity (re)creation. Based on interviews with media producers, I discuss community radio stations, online network groups, video making, and blogs, and how these constitute different tools for promoting culture and conducting political activism. Through constant performances of culture, I argue, they are able to restore and participate in the dialogue on self-determination and minority rights in a different sphere of discourse, both locally and globally, at the same time that they also influence their own (and others') understanding of their ethnic identity. In terms of the impact of media products produced autonomously or in collaboration with non-Indigenous groups, this research also addresses the fact that, despite the efforts of both Indigenous and Roma groups in using these new media as non-hegemonic communication venues, their invisibility as a subject is often repeated, even when sympathetically supported by the discourse of cultural diversity, due to financial and distribution constraints. Ultimately, this study brings together their similarities and differences to determine how these technologies can be both helpful or hinder the self-affirmation and increased autonomy of ethnic minority groups.

Cette étude s'organisera autour d'une perspective générale posant les bases d'une problématique et d'un champ d'application reposant en premier lieu sur les notions de représentation et d'effet de fantastique. Il s'agit donc de rendre compte des particularités textuelles ainsi que de la spécificité du langage mis en oeuvre au sein des textes étudiés, textes catégorisés et classés selon des critères sériels et différenciés. Cette réflexion menée sur l'artifice ou la duperie fantastique conduira ainsi à s'intéresser à la dynamique même de l'écriture fantastique, mode de représentation fondé en premier lieu sur le paradoxe et la dysharmonie, et de ce fait, lieu privilégié d'une crise narrative capable de problématiser la séparation entre mimésis et diégèse. Ainsi envisagé, le récit fantastique devient fiction à propos de la fiction, incluant des éléments autoréférentiels et mettant en scène le processus de l'écriture à l'intérieur même du récit. Le texte, dont le véritable sujet devient alors la représenation littéraire elle-même, peut ainsi être considéré comme le miroir de sa propre écriture, à travers un processus d'autoréflexion spéculaire exhibant les procédés de l'illusion référentielle et leurs enjeux dans l'organisation générale du récit. Ce sont précisément ces procédés et ces enjeux qu'il s'agira ici de mettre au jour et d'étudier. / This thesis is devoted to the study of metafictional techniques and stakes in Fantastic literature. Intertextual references, autorepresentation, aesthetic distance, story within a story, metalepsis : this techniques draw attention to the text's fictionality. On the other hand, we will see how metafictionality can be considered as inherent to the fantastic fiction, understand here as a mode of representation.

Quais as definições do jornalismo investigativo no Brasil? Na prática profissional, o que o distingue do jornalismo de modo geral e de outras especialidades da área? Quais os critérios de consagração de um jornalista como repórter investigativo? Essas e outras questões estão no seio desta pesquisa que busca identificar as condições de possibilidade da emergência dos discursos sobre o jornalismo investigativo em nosso país e, principalmente, esclarecer as apropriações que foram feitas a partir deles. Nosso intuito era compreender as definições de jornalismo investigativo que têm sido trabalhadas na bibliografia nacional à luz das disputas que tomam forma no interior do campo jornalístico. Partimos da análise de obras teóricas sobre o tema, de coletâneas de reportagens investigativas e de fontes documentais (como resultados de premiações, dados de associações etc.) para levantarmos definições, referências e apropriações do discurso do \"jornalismo investigativo\" em nosso país. Ao longo da pesquisa - que se focou na análise de obras publicadas principalmente entre 1970 e 2010 - conseguimos identificar três eixos nos quais as definições de JI poderiam ser divididas (um com foco no papel ativo do jornalista, outro com foco na função de denúncia e um terceiro que considera o jornalismo investigativo um pleonasmo) e, pelo menos, três usos diferentes dessa especialidade jornalística: ora ela aparece como sinônimo de grande reportagem, ora está identificada com o jornalismo policial e, após a redemocratização e a profissionalização do jornalismo brasileiro, ela será mais identificada com o escândalo político. Argumentamos que cada um desses deslocamentos de sentido, que por vezes são muito sutis e não necessariamente lineares, podem ser entendidos como posicionamentos diante de acontecimentos e transformações que ocorreram no período: o fim da censura prévia e o início da abertura política do regime militar, o crescimento do papel das Relações Públicas e das assessorias de imprensa, as regulamentações profissionais e o desenvolvimento do ensino de jornalismo, bem como as reformas editoriais em grandes veículos de comunicação. Compreendendo essas disputas e tendo em vista as transformações que as novas mídias estão promovendo no campo, defendemos uma nova compreensão do jornalismo investigativo, em termos de sua posição em relação à esfera do poder, que recusa os critérios puramente baseados nos métodos de apuração ou nos seus efeitos. / What are the definitions of investigative journalism in Brazil? In professional practice, which distinguishes it from ordinary journalism and other specialties of the area? What are the acclaim criteria of a journalist as an investigative reporter? These and other questions are at the core of this research that seeks to identify the emergence conditions of discourses on investigative journalism in our country, and, primarily, clarify the appropriations made from them. Our aim was to understand the investigative journalism definitions that have been put forth in the national bibliography in light of disputes that take shape within the journalistic field. We started from the analysis of theoretical works on the subject, investigative reports collections and documentary sources (such as results of awards, associations data etc.) to gather definitions, references and appropriations of the \"investigative journalism\" discourse in our country. During the research - which focused on the analysis of works published mainly between 1970 and 2010 - we were able to identify three areas in which IJ definitions could be divided (one focusing on the journalist\'s active role, the other focusing on the denunciation function and a third part who considers investigative journalism pleonastic) and at least three different uses of this journalistic branch: sometimes it appears as synonymous with cover story, occasionally it is identified with police reporting and, after the democratization and professionalization of Brazilian journalism, it will be identified with political scandal. We argue that each of these shifts of direction, which are sometimes very subtle and not necessarily linear, can be understood as stances regarding events and changes that occurred during the period such as: the end of censorship and the beginning of the political relaxation of the military regime, the growth of the role of Public Relations and press offices, professional regulations and development of journalism education, as well as editorial reform in major media outlets. Understanding these disputes and in light of the changes in the field promoted by the media, we advocate a new understanding of investigative journalism, in terms of its position in relation to the power sphere, a sphere that refuses criteria based purely based on the reporting methods or its effects.

A correspondência ativa de Italo Svevo, publicada pela primeira vez em 1966, oferecese ao crítico como um emaranhado de problemas que podem ser pensados a partir de múltiplas abordagens: histórica, linguística, literária, entre outras. Ao reconhecermos no texto epistolar do escritor triestino uma série de temas desenvolvidos também em suas obras literárias, admitimos a hipótese de que as cartas exercessem para ele o papel de laboratório de escrita, no qual podia exercitar sua língua, seus procedimentos literários e ainda construir para si uma imagem de artista. Para demonstrar a validade de nossa hipótese, investigamos as personas epistolares construídas ao longo das correspondências do escritor e como elas contribuíram tanto para a criação de personagens literárias, quanto para a elaboração de uma cenografia autoral. Em seguida, fizemos uma análise comparativa entre algumas cartas de Italo Svevo à esposa e alguns trechos de seu romance A consciência de Zeno, verificando em que medida os temas eram reproduzidos ou transformados no interior da estrutura romanesca. Ao final desta dissertação, apresentamos a tradução anotada de algumas cartas do escritor como complemento às observações aqui desenvolvidas. / Italo Svevo\'s epistolary, first published in 1966, offers itself to the critic as a tangle of problems that can be interpreted using multiple approaches: historical, linguistic, literary etc. After recognizing in the letters of the Triestino writer a series of themes also developed in his literary works, we proposed the hypothesis that the letters became for him a writing laboratory. He could exercise his language, his literary procedures and still construct for an image of himself as an artist. In order to demonstrate the validity of our hypothesis, we investigated the epistolary personae constructed throughout the correspondence of the writer and how they contributed both to the creation of literary characters and to the elaboration of an authorial scenography. After that we did a comparative analysis between some of Italo Svevo\'s letters to his wife and some excerpts from his novel Zeno\'s Conscience, verifying to what extent the themes were reproduced or transformed within the novel structure. At the end of this dissertation, we present the annotated translation of some letters of the writer as a complement to the observations developed here.

The Meruri Village, located in the municipality of General Carneiro (MT), was selected as the study space. The long 114-year coexistence between Bororo and Salesian missionaries brought about unique changes in the exercise of indigenous power. But these were not in a relationship of authoritarianism or oppression. Even with the effects of the positivist mentality of the earliest times, adaptations and resignifications were established, culminating in a unique alliance that reached the symbol of the shed blood. The comparison of power in the traditional village with that of the present one shows that the figures of power have changed, but the main source of authority remains the same: society itself as a whole / A presente pesquisa refere-se a um estudo histórico, antropológico, religioso e político-social sobre o exercício das estruturas de poder tradicionais do Povo Bororo, suas grandes mudanças ao longo da história, como ele se organiza hoje e sua aproximação com o movimento indígena atual, no contexto das lutas dos movimentos populares brasileiros. Foi selecionada a Aldeia Meruri, localizada no município de General Carneiro (MT) como espaço do estudo. A longa convivência de 114 anos entre Bororo e missionários salesianos provocou mudanças singulares no exercício do poder indígena. Mas estas não se deram numa relação de autoritarismo ou opressão. Mesmo com os efeitos da mentalidade positivista dos primeiros tempos foram estabelecidas adaptações e ressignificações, culminando com uma aliança única que chegou ao símbolo do sangue derramado. A comparação do poder na aldeia tradicional com o da atual mostra que as figuras de poder mudaram, mas a fonte principal da autoridade continua a mesma: a própria sociedade em seu conjunto

The exponential growth of amateur videos posted and shared on Youtube is the starting point of this reflection: Understanding the representation of one's "Self" and the production, such as the distribution system that, consequently, it demands. Everyday moments can become special. As has been witnessed a long the history of photography, and the magical relation people build with their photographs. This way, what was at first a simple documentation, becomes a performance in a perpetual motion that feeds off it's own re-interpretation, transforming this documentation in to content that completes, interacts, and sometimes transforms it's reality. The issue is: what are the chosen references and how do these types of productions reproduce the living or shared realities? And is there a difference between them? In this context the "Self" emerges as a representation, but also opens the possibility of transforming into an actor. Loosing it's personal characteristics. This way, the practice of video's representation, appropriation, recreation and sharing is audio visual language shifts with new network technology, creating formats that dialogue with documentary, but also changes its premisses. How do these new technologies enable most people to become audio visual producers and, most importantly, producers pf their own "Selfs" / As possibilidades de registro e compartilhamento de vídeos por usuários comuns permitem uma ampliação da produção audiovisual, a partir da digitalização de fluxos, plataformas e ferramentas de comunicação. Nesse contexto, partimos da análise do vertiginoso crescimento de vídeos não profissionais ou comerciais postados no YouTube, para propor uma reflexão sobre as novas formas de representação do Eu e modos de produção e distribuição audiovisual resultantes. O cotidiano pode ganhar contorno de momento especial, algo que a história da fotografia e a relação mágica que as pessoas mantêm com seus retratos mostram de forma explícita. E, assim, o que parece ser captação do cotidiano redesenha-se como performance em um moto-perpétuo que se realimenta a partir de sua reinterpretação, fazendo com que o que era o registro de um momento seja transformado em um conteúdo que completa a própria realidade, interagindo com ela, por vezes, transformando-a. A disponibilização de meios de captação – smartphones, câmeras baratas, edição – softwares disponíveis para download gratuito, distribuição — redes sociais, YouTube, acessíveis a grandes faixas da população, cria uma gama de produção em que captadores e personagens se misturam. Quando tomam os meios de produção para si, seguindo a premissa marxista de deter os meios, algo se transforma. Mas efetivamente dominar os meios de produção de imagens e vídeos faz com que surja uma estética diferenciada? A questão é: quais as referências e como esta produção reproduz a realidade vivida ou a realidade compartilhada? Existe diferença entre elas? Como, neste contexto da realidade, o Eu surge como representação, mas também se transforma em personagem que perde suas características pessoais para tornar-se ator de uma re(a)presentação infinda e, às vezes, sem segunda cena? Assim, essa pesquisa analisa a prática da representação, apropriação, recriação e republicação de vídeos a partir de um estudo de como a linguagem audiovisual muda com o advento das novas tecnologias em rede, gerando formatos que dialogam com o documentário, mas também mudam suas premissas. E como fazem com que a maioria das pessoas tenha condições de tornarem-se produtores de audiovisual e, principalmente, criadores de seu próprio Eu
