Grades: uma leitura do projeto po-ético de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen / Grades: a reading of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen po-ethical project

Nathália Macri Nahas 11 March 2015 (has links)
Este trabalho propõe uma análise do aspecto político da antologia Grades, de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1919-2004). A coletânea é publicada em 1970, período em que vigorava em Portugal o Estado Novo, governo ditatorial instaurado no país com o golpe militar de 1926. Buscamos, inicialmente, compreender a afirmação da autora de que a poesia é uma moral, para assim relacionar o viés político à sua lírica. Para tanto, abordamos a influência da cultura helênica na obra andreseniana, sobretudo pelos conceitos de physis e verdade, os quais nos permitem analisar como o pensamento político grego se forma e de que maneira ele se aproxima da postura política de Sophia Andresen. A partir das concepções de Aristóteles, estabelecemos uma aproximação entre o conceito de política e o posicionamento da autora sobre esse elemento. Tal relação nos permite perceber que o aspecto político na lírica andreseniana não é algo pontual, mas, sim, parte do seu projeto poético, o qual definimos como po-ético. / This paper presents an analysis of the Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1919-2004) anthology Grades in its political aspect. The collection was published in 1970, when prevailed the dictatorship established in Portugal with the military coup of 1926, known as Estado Novo. First, we seek to understand the author\'s statement that poetry is a moral, to thereby relate the political bias with its lyrical. Thereunto, we discuss the influence of Hellenic culture in andresenian work, mainly the concepts of physis and truth, which allow us to analyze how the Greek political thought is formed and how it approaches to Sophia Andresen\'s political stance. From the ideas of Aristotle, we established a connection between the concept of policy and the positioning of the author on this element. Such relation allows us to realize that the political aspect in andreseniana lyric is not something punctual, but rather part of his poetic project, which we define as po-ethical.

\'No Poema\': um paradigma da tessitura poética de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen / \'No Poema\': a paradigm of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen\'s poetry

Vivian Steinberg 23 June 2006 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objeto a investigação da poética de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen através da série No Poema, sétima parte do livro Geografia (1967). A poeta joga com a crosta terrestre e a crosta da linguagem. Notamos elementos comuns entre sua poética e a de seus pares, por exemplo: a poeta denuncia a morte dos deuses e a crise da linguagem, há o desaparecimento elocutório do sujeito, o silêncio está presente como elemento da criação, a poeta persegue o \"ostinato rigore\" que Paul Valéry retomou. A poesia de Sophia tem pontos coincidentes com a de Hölderlin, enquanto poeta que vê a linguagem como casa do ser, com a de João Cabral, o \"ostinato rigore\", o silêncio como elemento da criação poética e o desaparecimento do sujeito depois da criação, com a de Francis Ponge, o gosto pelo concreto, por nomear precisamente os objetos, com a de Paul Celan, a síntese, com a de Fernando Pessoa, o paradigma da tradição literária portuguesa moderna. Essa constatação se deu a partir da nossa leitura dos poemas selecionados para a análise. / This assignment aims the investigation over Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen poetics throughout the series \"No Poema\", in the 7th part of the book entitled Geografia (1967). The poet plays up with the earthy and language crust. We observe common elements between her poetics and of her pairs. For instance: the poet reveals the Gods death as well as the language crisis. The subject has a discursive fading, being the silence present as the creative element. The poet chases the \"ostinato rigore\" that Paul Valéry had recaptured. Sophia\'s poetry has correspondent points with Hölderlin´s work while considering both poets: the language as the dwelling of a being. Similar to João Cabral is the \"ostinato rigore\", where silence is perceived as the poetic creative element and the fading of the subject occurs after its creation. Together with Francis Ponge, to entitle precisely the objects, lays the fondness of the concrete. The synthesis is with Paul Celan\'s, and finally the Portuguese literary tradition with Fernando Pessoa. This evidence has emerged from the perusal of the poems selected to this investigation.

O quarto, figuração do intimismo na poesia de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen / The room used as a symbol of intimate questions in Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen\'s poetry

Azevedo, Luiz Carlos de Moura 29 October 2007 (has links)
As operações da memória, a introspecção e a auto-representação são alguns tópicos da chamada escrita intimista, que vem desempenhando papel importante na poesia portuguesa, desde meados do século XIX. A partir de um grupo de poetas precursores, entre os quais se incluem Cesário Verde (1855/1886) e António Nobre (1867/1900), o estilo da poesia intimista continuou nos novecentos através de nomes como os de Camilo Pessanha (1867/1926), Fernando Pessoa (1888/1935), Mário de Sá Carneiro (1890/1926). Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (Porto, 1919/ Lisboa, 2004), foi uma das três mais importantes vozes poéticas portuguesas da segunda metade do século XX, ao lado de Jorge de Sena (1919/1978) e de Eugénio de Andrade (1923/2005). Ela sempre apresentou recorrentes, em seus 14 livros de poesia, (o primeiro, Poesia I, de 1944), muitos dos temas caros ao intimismo: o choque entre o mundo exterior e o eu poético, a rememoração como mergulho interior, a solidão, o sofrimento provocado quando o sujeito recolhe-se dentro de si mesmo. Além disso, ela privilegia, num estilo muito particular, determinados espaços ligados à intimidade, como a casa e, em especial, o quarto. Nossa dissertação divide-se em três capítulos - O Quarto e o Silêncio, O Quarto, a Noite e o Vazio, O Quarto Como Prisão - que enfocam o aspecto intimista da obra poética de Sophia. A discussão é centrada no sujeito poético, analisando sua posição frente ao mundo e à vida, no contexto fragmentado do pós II Guerra. Sempre na perspectiva humana de nossa finitude, frente ao horizonte da eternidade. / The so-called Intimate Poetry School flourished in Portugal by the middle of the 19th Century, throught a group of very particular poets, like Cesário Verde (1855/1886) or António Nobre (1867/1900). Due to other outstanding poets, Camilo Pessanha (1867/1926), Fernando Pessoa (1888/1935) and Mário de Sá Carneiro (1890/1926), among others, intimate style continued on its way through the 20th century. Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1919-2004) is recognized as one of the three most important Portuguese poets of 20th Century\'s last half, the other two being Jorge de Sena (1919/1978) and Eugénio de Andrade (1923/2005). She wrote 14 poetry books since her first one, Poesia I, published in 1944. In most of her poems, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen dealed with some of the innermost aspects of the poetic self, such as solitude, the remembrance of past experiences, or the aggressiveness from the outside world. She described, in several poems, the sleepingroom, this space that is a typical intimate retreat for the self. Her poetry is always related to the human condition, in the sense that her poems encompass the joys, the sufferings and all the emotions related to our state of being human, that is, being finite and mortal, when compared to a horizon of eternity. Also, she achieved a very intimate way of describing the self\'s fortunate past experiences, as related to his deceptive present life. Our Master\'s research, The room used as a symbol of intimate questions, in Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen\'s poetry, deals mainly with three Intimate Poetry aspects that the room may present in her poems: The Room and the Silence; The Room, the Night and the Void; The Room as a Prison.

As várias figurações de Thânatos na poesia de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen / The various figurations of Thânatos in the poetry of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

Souza, Angela Gonçalves de 25 March 2011 (has links)
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen, Porto 1919 Lisboa, 2004, importante poeta portuguesa do século XX, absorveu, em sua obra, uma influência muito intensa da cultura clássica grega. Em seus livros de poesia, apresentou um constante e intenso diálogo com alguns mitos da Grécia Antiga. Esta dissertação parte da constatação de que o mito de Thânatos, nas suas mais variadas figurações, dialoga intensamente com a poesia de Sophia Andresen, criando uma atmosfera melancólica e nostálgica. O presente trabalho divide-se em três capítulos: Thânatos: O Tempo e a Memória, Thânatos: Noite e Thânatos: do Minotauro as Fúrias. / Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, Porto, 1919 Lisboa 2004 was an important Portuguese poet from the 20th Century. She absorbed a very intense influence from the classic Greek culture in her work. In her poetry books she presents us a constant and intense dialog with some myths from the Ancient Greece. This dissertation begins from the findings that the myth of Thanatos, in its most various pictures, maintains an internal dialog with Sophia Andresens poetry, building up a nostalgic and melancholic atmosphere. This paper is divided in three chapters Thanatos: Time and Memory, Thanatos: Night and Thanatos: Minotaur and the Furies.

[en] THE POETRY OF SOPHIA DE MELLO BREYNER ANDRESEN: THE POET AND THE POLITICAL PARTICIPATION / [pt] A POESIA DE SOPHIA DE MELLO BREYNER ANDRESEN: O POETA E A PARTICIPAÇÃO POLÍTICA

RITA DO PERPÉTUO SOCORRO BARBOSA DE OLIVEIRA 19 February 2018 (has links)
[pt] A poesia de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen: o poeta e a participação política defende a tese de que a missão do artista consiste em revelar a beleza da poesia inter-relacionada com a vida. Ele desempenha, para isso, diversos ofícios, dentre os quais a crítica da vida mundana no tempo dividido e o anúncio de um projeto poético e político onde aquela beleza seja vivenciada. Nessa missão, o poema assemelha-se a um homem, nascendo e enfrentando obstáculos semelhantes aos deste, sendo também um poeta que se compromete com a mesma causa, aprofundando a contestação social e mantendo o entrelaçamento da poesia com a vida. Assim, o poeta, bem como o poema, é exemplo do modo justo de se relacionar consigo próprio e com os outros, desvendando que a poesia é didática. Esta pesquisa fundamenta-se, não teoricamente, mas sim poética e politicamente, nas ideias compiladas nos ensaios andresenianos sobre a poesia e a arte, nos quais a poesia, o poeta, o poema e a vida possuem significados recorrentes e em contínua implicação. A tese conclui que Sophia Andresen é o exemplo do poeta que realiza a referida missão, através dos mencionados ofícios e da invenção poética de que o poema é um homem, ligando, portanto, a poesia e a vida na própria obra. / [en] The poetry of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen: the poet and the political participation defends the thesis that the poet has the mission of revealing the beauty of the poetry interrelated to life. The poet develops several tasks to accomplish his mission such as the criticism of the perverted life on his concept of divided time and the announcement of a poetic and political project of making the most of that beauty. On this mission, the poem is like a man, who is born and faces difficulties the same way it does; the poem is also a poet that commits to the same cause, deepening the social retort and keeping the alliance between poetry and life. Therefore, the poet, as well as the poem, is an example of a fair way to relate to himself and the others, revealing that poetry is didactic. This research is not based on theories, but on the poetic and political ideas compiled on Sophia Andresen s essays about poetry and art; on these essays the poetry, the poet, the poem and life have recurrent significations and constant implication. This thesis concludes that Sophia Andresen is the example of a poet that accomplishes the mission explained above because of the tasks mentioned before and also the poetic invention which says the poem is a man, connecting, therefore poetry and life on her work.

No. of bitstreams: 1 texto completo.pdf: 753920 bytes, checksum: 1b41afe8fb5621030017fa1128719565 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-10-29 / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / The present dissertation aims principally to investigate the existing relashionship between poetry, memory and History in the title O nome das coisas (1977) written by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. Such book is situated among the most important writings of reflections concerning the Portuguese dictatorial period, the Revolution responsible for the ending of the totalitarian government in Portugal The Carnation Revolution and also the period posterior to these happenings. For the ccomplishment of the present work, we based our studies in an analysis of theoretical character, of which we highlight the main researches who provided critical support to the realization of the proposed investigation: A. Cândido, O. Paz, Aristóteles, L. C. Lima, T. Adorno, A. Berardinelli, H. Friedrich, M. Hamburguer, P. Valéry, A. Bosi, L. Hutcheon, P. Burke, G. Duby, P. Ricouer, L. Secco, K. Maxwell, R. Barthes, J. G. Merquior, M. Halbwachs, E. Bosi, L. R. Pereira, C. C. Rocha, C. Guirardo, H. Malheiro, among others. We delimited the corpus being investigated, as well as the theory on which we leaned to analyse it, the next phase was the analyses of the poems presented in O Nome das Coisas (1977). As we could glimpse, Sophia Andressen herself divided her book in three chapters corresponding to the years of writing of each group of poems, i.e., I 1972 73 , II 74-75 e III . In turn, each of these chapters correspond to distinct and important historical moments for Portugal, which concern the transition from the totalitarian regime, dismantled by The Carnation Revolution, to the democracy. Thus, the poems made by Andresen bring up important reflections upon the final years of the Salazarist dictatorship, of April Revolution, as well as the consequences of this insurrection had and still has in lusitanian lands. It is necessary to emphasize that the lyrical I reveals not only the desires, fears, euphoria and disappointments of a particular subject, since what is revealed through the poems analyzed also concerns an entire population who experienced an environment dominated by a totalitarian government and dreamed of the freedom that a revolution could provide them. / Este trabalho de dissertação tem como principal objetivo investigar a relação existente entre poesia, memória e História na obra O Nome das Coisas (1977) de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. Tal obra figura dentre os principais escritos de reflexão concernentes ao período ditatorial português, à Revolução responsável pelo fim do Governo totalitário em Portugal - a Revolução dos Cravos bem como ao período posterior a estes acontecimentos. Para a realização deste trabalho, nos baseamos em uma análise de caráter teórico-crítico, da qual destacamos os principais estudiosos que nos forneceram apoio teórico para a realização da investigação proposta: A. Cândido, O. Paz, Aristóteles, L. C. Lima, T. Adorno, A. Berardinelli, H. Friedrich, M. Hamburguer, P. Valéry, A. Bosi, L. Hutcheon, P. Burke, G. Duby, P. Ricouer, L. Secco, K. Maxwell, R. Barthes, J. G. Merquior, M. Halbwachs, E. Bosi, L. R. Pereira, C. C. Rocha, C. Guirardo, H. Malheiro, dentre outros. Delimitados o corpus a ser investigado, bem como o material teórico em que nos apoiamos para analisá-lo, a etapa posterior constitui-se da análise dos poemas de O Nome das Coisas (1977). Como pudemos vislumbrar, a própria Sophia Andresen dividiu a obra em questão em três capítulos correspondentes aos anos de escrita dos poemas, a saber, I 1972 73 , II 74-75 e III . Por sua vez, cada um desses capítulos corresponde a momentos históricos distintos e importantes para Portugal, que dizem respeito à passagem do regime totalitário, desmantelado pela Revolução dos Cravos, para a democracia. Sendo assim, os poemas andresenianos trazem importantes reflexões acerca dos anos finais da ditadura salazarista, da Revolução de Abril, como também dos desdobramentos que essa insurreição teve e ainda possui em terras lusitanas. Faz-se necessário ressaltar que o eu lírico andreseniano revela não somente os desejos, angústias, euforias e decepções de um sujeito particular, uma vez que aquilo que é revelado através dos poemas analisados diz respeito também a toda uma população que vivenciou um ambiente dominado por um governo totalitário e sonhou com a liberdade que uma Revolução poderia proporcionar-lhes.

Books of Jeu and the Pistis Sophia : system, practice, and development of a religious group

Evans, Erin Michelle January 2012 (has links)
The primary objective of this thesis is to argue that the Books of Jeu (in the Bruce Codex) and the Pistis Sophia (the Askew Codex) are the product of a hitherto largely unrecognized religious group or community emerging from the dynamic religious climate of the first four centuries of the Common Era. It presents evidence that they have their own coherent system of theology, cosmology and soteriology, and demonstrates the strong ties that bind the individual tractates contained within these texts to one another. Chapter One provides a brief introduction to the history of the manuscripts, discusses methodology, presents definitions and a short thesis outline, and delivers a review of literature on the subject. Chapter Two examines each of the texts under consideration, giving a brief overview of their contents; arguments are presented for their chronological order, the exclusion of certain texts and fragments from the wider codices, and reasons these texts should be considered products of a religious group as opposed to being pure literary products of individual thinkers. Chapter Three traces the cosmology from the earliest to the latest of the texts, outlining shifts that take place and proposing explanations for these changes within an overall developmental framework. Chapter Four examines the roles of individual figures from the earliest to the latest texts; it demonstrates that although on the surface these roles may seem to change, their underlying nature remains constant, supporting the notion that they are the products of a group with a consistent underlying system. Chapter Five analyses the profusion of diagrams found in the two Books of Jeu, breaking them down into categories based on their nature and use as expressed by the texts. It further demonstrates that such images had a precedent in the religious and cultural atmosphere of Greco-Roman society. Chapter Six discusses potential outside religious influences present in these texts, and shows that while they are highly syncretistic, outside ideas are always incorporated within the existing framework of the group’s system: conflicting notions are subordinated to the existing theology and soteriology. The thesis concludes that these texts represent evidence of a practicing religious group that remained active over a period of time, producing multiple texts by multiple authors, adapting to a changing religious climate but maintaining the ideas that remained central to their underlying theological and soteriological system.

A mechanical model of an axial piston machine

Löfstrand Grip, Rasmus January 2009 (has links)
<p>A mechanical model of an axial piston-type machine with a so-called wobble plate and Z-shaft mechanism is presented. The overall aim is to design and construct an oil-free piston expander demonstrator as a first step to realizing an advanced and compact small-scale steam engine system. The benefits of a small steam engine are negligible NOx emissions (due to continuous, low-temperature combustion), no gearbox needed, fuel flexibility (e.g., can run on biofuel and solar), high part-load efficiency, and low noise. Piston expanders, compared with turbines or clearance-sealed rotary displacement machines, have higher mechanical losses but lower leakage losses, much better part-load efficiency, and for many applications a more favourable (i.e., lower) speed. A piston expander is thus feasible for directly propelling small systems in the vehicular power range. An axial piston machine with minimized contact pressures and sliding velocities, and with properly selected construction materials for steam/water lubrication, should enable completely oil-free operation. An oil-free piston machine also has potential for other applications, for example, as a refrigerant (e.g., CO<sub>2</sub>) expander in a low-temperature Rankine cycle or as a refrigerant compressor.</p><p> </p><p>An analytical rigid-body kinematics and inverse dynamics model of the machine is presented. The kinematical analysis generates the resulting motion of the integral parts of the machine, fully parameterized. Inverse dynamics is applied when the system motion is completely known, and the method yields required external and internal forces and torques. The analytical model made use of the “Sophia” plug-in developed by Lesser for the simple derivation of rotational matrices relating different coordinate systems and for vector differentiation. Numerical solutions were computed in MATLAB. The results indicate a large load bearing in the conical contact surface between the mechanism’s wobble plate and engine block. The lateral force between piston and cylinder is small compared with that of a comparable machine with a conventional crank mechanism.</p><p> </p><p>This study aims to predict contact loads and sliding velocities in the component interfaces. Such data are needed for bearing and component dimensioning and for selecting materials and coatings. Predicted contact loads together with contact geometries can also be used as input for tribological rig testing. Results from the model have been used to dimension the integral parts, bearings and materials of a physical demonstrator of the super-critical steam expander application as well as in component design and concept studies.</p>
