One has studied the psychoanalytical theory from Sigmund Freud to understand the category of death, reaching as far as Jacques Lacan and his theory of Real in psychosis. The life of Virgina Woolf was investigated through her diaries and biographies, leading to realize that the death of several loved ones was extremely significant to her, which seems to remain as trace in her life work. Since death was what emerged from the Real that distressed her the most, to write about death as one of the names of the Real seemed to act as an elaboration intermission in the face of an existence fated to meet that whic is from the category of meaningless. The two novels were studied in order to understand how death emerges in her writing, in the story’s fabric, in the character’s creation, in the story’s making, among other aspects. The research allowed one to understand how the relation between death and the Real appears in psychosis and, in particular, to analyze the possibilities of elaboration to Woolf, through her writing and in the face of the encounter with the Real, that weren’t her complete submission to the deadly elements of the Real. / Trata-se de analisar a relação entre a morte e o real nas psicoses, utilizando os romances Ao Farol e Mrs. Dalloway da escritora inglesa Virginia Woolf. Recorreu-se à teoria psicanalítica desde Sigmund Freud para compreender-se a categoria da morte, chegando até Jacques Lacan e sua teoria sobre o real nas psicoses. Investigou-se sobre a vida de Virginia Woolf a partir de diários e biografias da autora e percebeu-se que as mortes de diversos entes queridos foram-lhe extremamente marcantes, o que pareceu restar como marca em sua obra literária. Dado que a morte era aquilo que do real emergia que mais lhe causava angustia, escrever sobre a morte enquanto um dos nomes do real parecia agir como um intervalo de elaboração frente a uma existência fadada ao encontro com o que é da ordem do sem sentido. Exploraram-se os dois citados romances no intuito de compreender de que forma a morte emerge em sua escrita, na tessitura narrativa, na construção dos personagens, na elaboração do enredo, entre outros aspectos. A pesquisa permitiu relacionar como a morte e o real surgem na categoria das psicoses e, particularmente, analisar as possibilidades de elaboração para Woolf, via escrita, frente ao encontro com o real, que não fossem um total assujeitamento aos elementos mortíferos desse real.

This Master’s thesis has the politics of museum in focus, as a subordinate governmental cultural policy, as a continuation of cultural reform in a time when legislation were to take place in Sweden. The aim of the study is to map out claims from museums and their responsible authorities in response to the governmental bill Ny Museipolitik. The study deem the subject area of politics of museums as a organizational field. By using the Toulmin model of argumentation several hundred claims about the works of museums and the effects on society were founds. The result could be arranged in eight different themes. In the analysis of the claims both unifying and disrupting tendencies could be observed. The themes presented in the result are: a new legislation, a new administrative authority, handling the collection, cooperation, fundings, museums and society, quality assurance and research at the museum and a round up theme called other.      One conclusion showed that the different levels of authorities in particular produced diversified needs and challenges. Some findings point out how the field are contested concerning legitimacy. There is also conclusion indicated by the claims that showed how several isomorphic tendencies were apparent. Legislation are considered to heighten the state of affairs and the increased level of ambition are welcomed. A very apparent conclusion is that a much needed reform, according to the comment letters, is that governmental grants are increased and secured over time.

Pleroma is a digital drama: a work composed of digital animation combined with electroacoustic music, presenting an original dramatic narrative. Pleroma's dramatic elements evoke both the classical form of tragedy and the concept of perceptual paradox. A structural overview of the drama and its characters and a plot synopsis are given to provide context for the critical discussion. Analytical descriptions of Beethoven's Coriolan Overture Op.62 and Mahler's Symphony No. 9 are provided to give background on tragic form and Platonic allegory in music. An investigation into the elements discussed in the analysis of the instrumental works reveals several layers of possible interpretation in Pleroma. Dramatic elements allow for tragic narratives to be constructed, but they are complemented by character associations formed by pitch relationships, stylistic juxtapositions, and instrumentation. A copy of the dramatic text is included to supplement the multimedia production.

Denna karaktärsstudie undersöker Trisha McFarland i den svenska översättningen av Stephen Kings (2000) roman Flickan som älskade Tom Gordon. Syftet med studien är att med hjälp av berättartekniska grepp analysera framställningen av karaktären och hennes tillskrivna egenskaper. Dessutom finns ett syfte att undersöka hur karaktärens egenskaper kan beskrivas sett utifrån ett genusperspektiv. Den semiotiska delen av analysen visar att karaktären Trisha McFarland till större del framställs genom direkt karakterisering. I romanen tillskrivs karaktären många egenskaper vilket gör att läsare kan uppfatta henne som en rund karaktär. Dessutom genomgår karaktären en inre utveckling under berättelsens gång vilket bidrar till att karaktären kan uppfattas som dynamisk. Den mimetiska delen av analysen visar att Trisha McFarland besitter många egenskaper som ofta tillskrivs kvinnliga karaktärer. Genom att karaktären framställs med övervägande feminina egenskaper i romanen bekräftar hon även de könsstereotyper som är vanligt förekommande i skönlitteratur. Analysen och den avslutande diskussionen visar att denna karaktärsstudie har en relevans för läraryrket samt för ämnet svenska eftersom det är skolans uppdrag att synliggöra de könsstereotypiska föreställningar som finns i vårt samhälle, i våra klassrum och i litteraturen.

This dissertation examines the five biographies or memoirs written about the renowned South African writer Herman Charles Bosman. The main aim of the study is to show how different, and often contradictory, the views of him are as presented in the biographies. I also investigate different theories of biography as expounded by Leon Edel, Ira Bruce Nadel and Ray Monk and explore to what extent each of the biographies conforms, or does not conform to the theory. It is the contention of this dissertation that though the existing theories are useful and do shed light on each biographer’s approach and practice, they are also limited in accounting fully for the diverse and often discrepant accounts of Bosman’s life. The dissertation opens with an explication of several different theories regarding biography, and gives a brief overview of the life story of Herman Charles Bosman. Some of the main elements of biography (including different forms of narration, language and myth) are discussed and how they might be used in biography. The subsequent chapters focus on and offers detailed analyses of the biographies of Bosman, beginning with Herman Bosman As I Knew Him by Bernard Sachs and My Friend Herman Charles Bosman by Aegidius Jean Blignaut. Thereafter Sunflower to the Sun by Valerie Rosenberg and Life Sentence by Stephen Gray are analysed. Finally, there is an analysis of several reminiscences of those who knew Bosman, including Lionel Abrahams’s important memoir. The strengths and limitations of the various biographies are analysed, thereby shedding light not only on the practice of biography itself, but also on the complex and enigmatic figure of Herman Charles Bosman. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / English / MA (English Studies) / Unrestricted
