Doctor of Philosophy / This is a study of the composition of three Modernist first editions: Ulysses (1922), The Making of Americans (1925) and A Draft of XXX Cantos (1930). The bibliographical and figurative commitments made to being in print by Ulysses, A Draft of XXX Cantos and The Making of Americans set a coherent program for reading Modernist texts in their perfected form: in print. The editorial reception of the Modernist book has proceeded, however, with reference to the editorial and bibliographical principles established by the New Bibliographers. In deferring to the authors and manuscripts of Modernist books as the highest source of textual authority, the vital significance of being in print to literary Modernism is obscured. The figure of the ideal Book concentrates the central aesthetic, intellectual and bibliographic problem posed the Modernist book: the making of literature. The rhyme with The Making of Americans is appropriate: this book intensifies and consolidates the propositions made about objective and autonomous composition made more hesitantly by Ulysses and A Draft of XXX Cantos. These three books display a gradual refusal to equate inscription and intention; their composition effaces all traces of a sovereign creative subjectivity. The vision of the book guides Modernist composition, and requires a critical distinction be drawn between manuscripts and printed letters. Modernism must be read in print. The vestigial nostalgia for Romantic modes of textual production and creation in Ulysses is repeated on the placards and proof-pages for the book. Printed drafts are revised and reformed by the pen of the author. The finality asserted by the printed letter is only reluctantly ceded on the publication of Ulysses. The composition of A Draft of XXX Cantos represents a further transition away from the script economy of Romanticism. The interplay between authorial typescripts, early publications and the first edition of A Draft of XXX Cantos assert an intermediate order of Modernist textuality which takes the printed page as its foundation. The Making of Americans relies on the absolute objectivity and anonymity of its composition for the effect of its narrative. Objectivity is the intellectual and aesthetic strategy which produces literature rather than the personality and memory of the author. The impersonality of the apparently automatically written manuscripts and scarcely revised typescripts for The Making of Americans severs the visible links between the writing author and her page. In their unwillingness to corroborate the modes of textual generation described by the New Bibliographers, these three books thematise their own composition as the exemplary Modernist and modern mode of textual generation. The Modernist book attenuates or denies a Romantic connection between the creative hand of the author and the surface image of the page: the mechanisms of print deliberately detach the author from the literary text. The distance of the author from the scene of textual reproduction is measured by the printed book. The composition of this analytical object is not a fallacy but an actuality, commemorated in the archive, enacted by the book. Modernism is the literature of the imprimatur rather than of authorial inscription and accordingly it is towards the first editions of Modernist texts that the attentions of editors and textual scholars must be directed.

Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Filosofía / El presente escrito contiene los resultados de un trabajo de investigación destinado al cierre de un primer ciclo de estudios de postgrado, en el cual se realizó una filiación entre los filósofos contemporáneos Edith Stein (1891-1942) y Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-1995), a través de la aclaración de su mutua vinculación con la fenomenología de Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), pensador crucial en la vida y obra de ambos autores. Esto, con el objetivo de comprender la aparente contradicción entre filosofías que cuentan con la premisa de Dios y filosofías que no lo hacen; contradicción encarnada tanto en Stein como en Lévinas, por cuanto ambos autores, nacidos en familias judías, realizan, cada uno de maneras diversas, una apología del ateísmo, pero manteniendo hasta el fin de sus vidas una fuerte religiosidad. Esta paradoja o indecisión entre ateísmo y religión haría eco de una falta de univocidad general de la filosofía occidental contemporánea en lo que respecta a su pronunciamiento acerca del tema de Dios, por cuanto se trata de una época de cara a una serie de acontecimientos históricos imperdonables que es preciso prevenir definitivamente, pero cuyas fuentes son ambiguas. Ésta, se desarrolla así, como indagadora de las causas de eventos que quiebran el sentido común, que ponen a prueba el pensamiento y cuestionan el que se creía el curso regular de la historia, aquello que se podía esperar y tolerar.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O escopo desta tese é a relação entre a prosa-poética da escritora norte-americana Gertrude Stein, através de seus retratos e peças, e traduções intersemióticas para dança contemporânea. O corpus analítico articula os retratos Orta or One Dancing, If I Told Him: A Completed Portrait of Picasso, A Valentine to Sherwood Anderson, e as peças Four Saints in Three Acts, Listen to Me e Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters de Gertrude Stein e os espetáculos de dança [5.sobre.o.mesmo], Shutters Shut, Always Now Slowly, ,e[dez episódios sobre a prosa topovisual de gertrude stein]. A natureza dos campos colocados em comparação literatura & dança demandou a conjugação de duas vertentes de estudo ligadas às especificidades performática e tradutória dos objetos selecionados: de um lado, seguimos encaminhamentos surgidos de uma derivação específica da Comparatística tradicional, os Estudos Interartes ou Artes Comparativas; de outro, os Estudos de Intermidialidade, relacionados aos Estudos das Mídias. A abordagem dos exemplos analisados sob a perspectiva comparativa baseia-se em Estudos de Tradução, com especial referência à noção de transcriação de Haroldo de Campos, e na semiótica de Charles S.Peirce. No primeiro capítulo, definimos nossa abordagem teórica; a seguir, apresentamos a obra de Gertrude Stein e as principais propriedades que transformaram sua obra em uma das principais referências literárias e estéticas do século XX; e, para finalizar, analisamos as traduções, com especial atenção para a transcriação da percepção do tempo e da construção sintática steineanas. Concluímos sugerindo que as traduções para dança são modos de interpretação e leitura dos textos literários, bem como formas radicais de crítica de arte ou literária / The scope of this dissertation is the relation between the poetic-prose of American writer Gertrude Stein, through her portraits and plays, and its intersemiotic translations to contemporary dance. The analytic corpus articulates Gertrude Steins portraits Orta or One Dancing, If I Told Him: A Completed Portrait of Picasso, A Valentine to Sherwood Anderson, and plays Four Saints in Three Acts, Listen to Me and Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters and the dance performances [5.sobre.o.mesmo], Shutters Shut, Always Now Slowly, ,e[dez episódios sobre a prosa topovisual de gertrude stein]. The nature of the compared fields literature and dance demanded the combination of two strands of study related to the performative and translational specificity of the selected objects: on one hand, we follow a derivation from the traditional comparatistic, the Interart Studies or Comparative Arts; on the other hand, Intermediality Studies, related to Media Studies. The approach applied to the examples under a comparatistic perspective is based on Translation Studies, with special reference to Haroldo de Camposs notion of transcreation, and it is also based on Charles S. Peirces semiotics. On the first chapter, we define our theoretical approach; following, we present Gertrude Steins oeuvre and its major properties that transformed it in the one of the main literary and aesthetic references of the twentieth century; and, to finish, we analyze the translations, with special regard to the transcreation of Steins time perception and syntactic constructions. We conclude suggesting that the translations to dance are interpretation and reading modes of the literary texts, as well as radical forms of literary and artistic critic

Entretanto, os estudos que confirmam a associação entre SOP e a morbimortalidade por doença cardiovascular são limitados. Objetivos Avaliar o risco de Framingham a prevalência de evento cardiovascular em mulheres com SOP. Pacientes e Método Foram analisados os dados clínicos, bioquímicos e ultrassonográficos de mulheres com idade entre 18-40 anos com e sem diagnóstico de SOP, do HC-FMB no período de 1997 a 2010. Para verificar o risco de primeiro evento coronariano em dez anos, foi utilizado o escore de risco de Framingham (ERF), modificado pelo NCEP-ATPIII, 2002. A prevalência de evento cardiovascular maior e menor foi obtida pela análise dos prontuários médicos, cruzamento de dados e busca ativa. O teste do qui-quadrado, o teste exato de Fisher e análises de regressão logística multivariada corrigidas para idade e índice de massa corporal (IMC), foram empregados nas análises estatísticas e o nível de significância considerado foi de 5%. Resultados Foram identificadas 267 mulheres com SOP e 190 sem SOP seguidas no período de um a 13 anos. A mediana de idade foi de 25 anos (SOP) e de 29,5 (não SOP) (p<0,0001). As pacientes com SOP apresentaram maior prevalência de obesidade (p=0,017), circunferência da cintura (p= 0,012), hipertensão arterial sistêmica (p=0,047), intolerância à glicose (p=0,027), Diabetes mellitus do tipo 2 (p=0,007), hipercolesterolemia (p=0,005) e hipertrigliceridemia (0,002) em relação às não SOP. As pacientes com SOP apresentaram uma prevalência de 7,5% de ERF alto contra 1,3% nas não SOP (p=0,008), e a análise de regressão logística multivariada mostrou uma chance cinco vezes maior de evento coronariano quando se comparou às não SOP (OR 5,16 IC95%:1,16-22,96;p=0,031). Entretanto, não houve diferença estatística entre a prevalência de eventos ... / Introduction: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. However, most studies available are limited to confirming the association of PCOS with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To assess the Framingham risk score and the prevalence of cardiovascular events in women with PCOS. Patients and Methods: Clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic data were collected from women (18-40 years) with and without PCOS attending the Botucatu Medical School Hospital from 1997 to 2010. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS), calculated according to NCEP-ATPIII-2002 criteria, was used to estimate the 10-year risk of first coronary event. The prevalence of major and minor cardiovascular events was obtained through the analysis of medical records, crossing of data, and active search. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chi-square test, Fischer’s exact test and multiple logistic regression adjusted for age and BMI, with significance set at 5%. Results:t A total of 267 women with PCOS and 190 without PCOS were followed up for 1-13 years. Median age was 25 years in women with PCOS, and 29.5 yearsnin those without it (p<0.0001). Women with PCOS had higher prevalence of obesity (p=0.017), waist circumference (p= 0.012), arterial hypertension (p=0.047), glucose intolerance (p=0.027), type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.007 hypercholesterolemia (p=0.005), and hypertriglyceridemia (0.002) than those without PCOS. The prevalence of high FRS was 7.5% and 1.3% in women with and without PCOS, respectively (p=0.008). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that women with PCOS had a 5-fold greater chance of having a coronary event than those without PCOS (OR: 5.16 95%CI:1.16-22.96, p=0.031). However, the prevalence of cardiovascular events did not statistically differ between women with and without PCOS. Conclusions: In the women with PCOS at childbearing age who participated in this ...

A obesidade central e a resistência insulínica (RI) são freqüentes na SOP e desempenham um papel fundamental na etiopatogenia da síndrome metabólica (SM). O hiperandrogenismo tem sido questionado como um fator importante no desenvolvimento da SM em mulheres com SOP. Verificar se o hiperandrogenismo influencia no desenvolvimento de síndrome metabólica em pacientes com SOP. Foram avaliados retrospectivamente os dados clínicos, bioquímicos e ultrassonográficos de 180 mulheres com SOP diagnosticadas pelos critérios de Rotterdam e de 70 mulheres com obesidade simples. As pacientes com SOP foram classificadas de acordo com o índice de massa corporal (IMC) em SOP não obesas e SOP obesas. As pacientes obesas simples não apresentaram hiperandrogenismo clínico nem bioquímico. O índice de sensibilidade à insulínica (ISI) foi avaliado pelo HOMA-IR e ISI de Matsuda e DeFronzo. A SM foi diagnosticada pelos critérios do NCEP-ATP III com modificações sugeridas pelo consenso de Rotterdam. A média de idade das pacientes foi de 27,3 + 4,7 no grupo das pacientes SOP não obesas; 28,8 + 5,0 nas SOP obesas e 27,4 + 5,2 nas obesas simples (p=0, 0773), e o IMC foi de 25,1+3,0 kg/m2; 37,0+ 5,5 kg/m2 e 36,0+ 4,2 kg/m2 respectivamente (p<0, 001). A prevalência de RI e SM não diferiu entre as pacientes obesas com e sem SOP e foi significativamente maior do que nas SOP não obesas (p<0, 001). Entretanto a prevalência de SM foi maior nas SOP obesas com hiperandrogenismo...

Central obesity and insulin resistance (IR) are frequent in PCOS and play a leading role in the etiopathogeny of metabolic syndrome (MS). Hyperandrogenism has been suggested as an important factor in the development of MS in women with PCOS. To determine whether hyperandrogenism influences the development of metabolic syndrome in patients with PCOS. Clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic data on 180 women with PCOS, as diagnosed by the Rotterdam criteria, and 70 women with simple obesity were retrospectively analyzed. According to body mass index, PCOS patients were classified as nonobese with PCOS and obese with PCOS. No clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism was observed in patients with simple obesity. Insulin sensitivity indices (ISI) were assessed as proposed by HOMA-IR and ISI (Matsuda and De Fronzo). MS was diagnosed based on NCEP-ATP III criteria with modifications suggested by the Rotterdam consensus. Mean age was 27.3 + 4.7 among non-obese patients with PCOS, 28.8 + 5.0 in obese patients with POS, and 27.4 + 5.2 in those with simple obesity (p=0.0773), while BMI was 25.1+3.0 kg/m2, 37.0+ 5.5 kg/m2 and 36.0+ 4.2 kg/m2, respectively (p<0.001). The prevalence of IR and MS did not differ between obese patients with and without PCOS, and was significantly higher in these patients than in non-obese women with PCOS (p<0.001). The prevalence of MS, however, was higher... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor
