Orientador: Cleide Antonia Rapucci / Banca: Maria Cecília Pires Barbosa Lima / Banca: Paulo Fernandes Zanotto / Resumo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma análise descritiva de três traduções para o português do romance The Red Badge of Courage, do escritor norte-americano Stephen Crane, a fim de verificar qual tradução evidencia uma correspondência estilística com o texto de partida. O capítulo 1 trata da vida do autor e de sua obra, situando-a em seu contexto histórico-literário, e de um breve estudo sobre as diversas obras e artigos que se dedicam à análise do livro em questão.O segundo capítulo discorre sobre a teoria da tradução e o problema do estilo na mesma. Esta pesquisa procura seguir a proposta de Aubert (1998) e de Barbosa (1990) no que diz respeito às modalidades (ou procedimentos) de tradução; o estudo das diferenças existentes entre os planos de representação lingüística de Vinay e Darbelnet (1995); e a tensão existente entre tradução literal e tradução livre. O capítulo 3 discorre sobre o movimento impressionista na pintura e suas influências na literatura e, portanto, em The Red Badge of Courage. O quarto capítulo trata da descrição e análise das traduções da referida obra, apontando as modalidades de tradução aplicadas aos textos, observando as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos tradutores, bem como as soluções por eles encontradas a fim de manterem o sentido do original e recriarem a forma do texto língua de partida. / Abstract: The present work aims at a descriptive analysis of three translations into Portuguese of The Red Badge of Courage, by the American Stephen Crane, in order to find out which translation conveys a stylistic correspondence with the source text. Chapter 1 deals with the author's life and work, putting The Red Badge of Courage in its literary-historical context, and with a brief study about the several books and articles that contribute themselves to the analysis of The Red Badge of Courage. The second chapter is about the theory of translation and the problem of style in it. This research attempts to follow Aubert's (1998) and Barbosa's (1990) proposals regarding the procedures of translation; the study of differences between the concrete and abstract levels of expression by Vinay & Darbelnet (1995); and also the tension between literal and free translation. Chapter 3 discourses on Impressionism in painting and its influence on literature and therefore on The Red Badge of Courage. The fourth chapter deals with the description and analysis of excerpts of the above-mentioned book, pointing out the procedures of translation employed in the texts, noticing the difficulties faced by the translators, as well as the solutions they found in order to keep the original meaning and to recreate the form of the source text. / Mestre

Stephen Dedalus, personagem-conceito assume a escrita do texto e brinca de artífice, dando margem para que o texto trabalhe questões como aspectos de sua criação, uma certa característica de hospitalidade, seus desdobramentos e a reflexão acerca do gênero textual. A hospitalidade derridiana é discutida também sob os olhares da tradução, que se revela enquanto abertura infinda. Nesse ponto o trabalho também discute a relação cíclica texto-leitor-texto e suas leis. A discussão acerca do gênero textual envolve Biografia, Autobiografia, Retrato, Confissão, Diário, Ensaio. Os pactos leitorautor-texto, o pacto e o espaço biográfico. Por fim, as questões da criação conversam com Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari sobre o plano da imanência, o da composição e o que mais nos importa do personagem-conceitual que é Stephen Dedalus. _______________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This dissertation addresses issues concerning Joyce’s writing. The conceptual persona Stephen Dedalus undertakes the writing of the text and acts as an artificer, letting the text work issues such as aspects of its creation, a certain trait of hospitality, its consequences and reflections on genre. Derrida’s hospitality, which is also discussed from the standpoint of translation, is revealed as a conceptual opening up. At this point the cyclical text-reader-text relationship and the laws governing it are then discussed. The discussion on genre involves Biography, Autobiography, Portrait, Confession, Diary, Essay; all the possible pacts readerauthor- text, and then the biographical pact and biographical space. Finally, the issues of criation converse with Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari on the plane of immanence, composition and what matters most importantly, Stephen Dedalus as a conceptual persona.

Det här examensarbetet handlar om skrivundervisning. Undersökningen är huvudsakligen en fallstudie. Syftet är att få ökade kunskaper om en gymnasielärares arbetssätt för att utveckla sina elevers skrivande. Den huvudsakliga forskningsfrågan i detta arbete är: Hur beskriver en erfaren gymnasielärare sin skrivundervisning för att öka sina elevers skrivförmåga inom svenskundervisningen i gymnasiet? Examensarbetet börjar i en teoretisk utgångspunkt med tre olika teorier om skrivande och skrivundervisning. Sedan fortsätter det med den empiriska delen som är en djupintervju med en lärare vid namn Emmy (fiktivt namn) på en gymnasieskola i Småland. I resultaten, analysen och diskussionen i examensarbetet visas det hur en lärare har försökt att svara på frågeställningen ovan. Den huvudsakliga slutsatsen är att läraren är flexibel och att hon har ett antal olika metoder att arbeta med när hon försöker öka sina elevers skrivförmåga i sin dagliga undervisning. Den här fallstudien visar också något av hennes syn på skrivundervisning inom svenskämnet på gymnasiet. Emmys teoretiska grundsyn ligger nära skrivprocessteorin som representeras av den svenska forskaren Siv Strömquist. Det är omöjligt att dra några generella slutsatser om alla lärare bara på basis av en enda fallstudie. En försiktig tanke som dock uppstår i diskussionen är att det kan vara svårt att vara lärare, om man tittar på och lever sig in i Emmys bild av sin skrivundervisning. Några av hennes ledstjärnor är värdegrunden, den lokala kursplanen, skrivprocessteorin, en bra lärare–elev-relation, mycket läsning, textanalys, bra skrivuppgifter, tydliga uppgiftsinstruktioner, mönsterexempel, mycket skrivträning, nyttig textrespons, infärgning, goda råd till eleverna samt sist men inte minst humor och lust i skrivundervisningen. Allt detta ska leda henne framåt för att öka skrivförmågan hos eleverna.

The aim of this study was to examine how the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet portrays the Las Vegas shooting in october 2017. Our research questions were: How is Stephen Paddock portrayed?, How is the victims portrayed? and How does Aftonbladet portray Stephen Paddocks motive of the shooting? With a qualitative framing analysis we examined a total of 19 articles and identified several frames that the perpetrator and the victims is described with. The result shows that Stephen Paddock is framed as evil, cold, lone wolf, a massmurderer and a systematic perpetrator. But we also identified a frame when he is portrayed as a “normal” individual. The victims are framed as goodhearted and ideal victims. Aftonbladet’s way of reporting is charatherized by sensationalism, emotionalism and intimacy which is typical for a tabloid newspaper. Aftonbladet also describes the course of events with rich details, which also is typical for tabloids. When this study was conducted, the motive and cause of the attack was still unknown. With that in mind, we identified several frames where Aftonbladet is trying to answer the question of what motive the perpetrator could have had. They portray Stephen Paddocks gambling and psychotic brain as possible reasons of the attack.

This thesis expands upon the concept of the global culture wars in sub-Saharan Africa from a Canadian perspective, focusing on the growing division within Canada between conservative, religious values and liberal, progressive ones (Caplan, 2012). This division led to a political and cultural realignment alongside the increased visibility and leadership of religious and faith communities in Canadian public and political life. Amidst this polarization, Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper was elected Prime Minister in February 2006. Under his leadership, a conservative, pro-family agenda was established. This agenda, which advocates a traditional understanding of family life and structure, in particular refers to a legally married, heterosexual couple with children. It was supported by the evangelical Christian population in Canada, which grew from a united religious community in Canada into a significant constituency of the Conservative Party. Harper’s tenure, coupled with the increased visibility and leadership of faith and religious communities significantly affected domestic and international policies during his tenure as Prime Minister, from 2006 to 2015. This thesis examines the Muskoka Initiative on Maternal, Child, and Newborn Health (Muskoka-MNCH) and shows how this initiative, which fostered anti-abortion rhetoric abroad, was utilized to appease the evangelical community’s anti-abortion position in Canada.

Irony and satire in two of James Joyce's works.

This dissertation is comprised of a collection of poems preceded by a critical preface. The preface reconsiders the value of discontinuous poetic forms and advocates a return to lyric as an antidote to the toxic aspects of what Tony Hoagland terms “the skittery poem of our moment.” I consider poems by Wendy Xu, Kevin Prufer, Sharon Olds, and Stephen Dunn in depth to facilitate a discussion about the value of a more centrist position between the poles of supreme discontinuity and totalizing continuity. Though poets working in discontinuous forms are rightly skeptical of the hierarchies that govern narrative and linear forms, as Czesław Miłosz notes in The Witness of Poetry, “a poet discovers a secret, namely that he can be faithful to real things only by arranging them hierarchically.” In my own poems, I make use of the hierarchies of ordered perception in lyric and narrative forms to faithfully illuminate the collapsed structures of my own family history in the shadow of Detroit. I practice the principles I advocate in the preface, using a continuous form to address fractured realities in a busy, disordered age when poets often seek forms as fragmented as their perceptions. These poems are distinctly American, but because there is no true royalty in America, our great cultural and economic institutions—television, music, film, magazines, and big business—take the place of the castle (the book’s emblem) while Michael Jackson ultimately rises as the commanding dead king whose passing prompts contemplation of the viability of popular culture, family, history, and geography. The fallen structures that litter the work are many: the twin towers, chess rooks, bounce castles, nuclear families, the auto industry. However, the sole structure cohering the whole is that of a lyric voice whose authority is derived through lived experience and presented in rich, continuous poetic forms.

The purpose of this study is to investigate a contemporary model of argument analysis and pass judgment on the value of employing the Toulmin model in the analysis of complex arguments. This study investigates the nature of the model in its working relationship to variou arguments chosen for analysis, and form this process conclusions are drawn as to the model’s value and workability

<p>Splatterpunk was a short-lived, but explosive horror literary movement birthed in the 1980’s that utilized graphic depictions of violence in its prose. Drawing parallels to other subversive and radical art movements like Dada and Hardcore Punk, this paper examines through a Marxist lens how Splatterpunk, influenced by the destructive nature of 1980’s neoliberalism, reflected the violence, categorized as direct and structural, of its period of creation and used extreme vulgarity as an act of rebellion against traditional horror canon.</p>

Contemporary repertoire is not commonly taught or explored by teachers during the intermediate level, when a student's musical training is transitioning to an advanced level. Nonetheless, it is important for piano instructors to be open-minded about contemporary music and have some perspective on the development of music repertoire in the future. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a performance and pedagogical guide to Stephen Chatman's (b. 1950) Fantasies, from both technical and artistic viewpoints. The collection, which consists of eleven pieces, features a wide variety of contemporary idioms, styles, and means of notation. For instance, there are jazz-like syncopated rhythms, asymmetrical accents reminiscent of Primitivism, and Impressionistic or dissonant sonorities. Fantasies is not only a valuable tool for students to explore new sounds and improve their performing techniques while executing nontraditional notations and contemporary idioms, it is also a great teaching resource for instructors to promote students' musicality through hearing, seeing, and thinking. In this study, I provide individual, detailed descriptions for each of the pieces in the score, adding examples on how to address the difficulties they present to the performer. As a result, instructors can better understand how to help students prepare to perform this collection and spark their interest in playing contemporary music.
