No. of bitstreams: 1 alencarmirandaamaral.pdf: 1670327 bytes, checksum: 2d9c3f9a9d891835776120bfdbe35f33 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-08-31 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Nesta dissertação de mestrado analiso o contato inter-religioso promovido pela atuação de missões evangélicas (SIL e MNTB) junto à comunidade indígena Maxakali, localizada no nordeste do Estado de Minas Gerais. Além de acompanhar o desenvolvimento das atividades proselitistas destas instituições entre os índios Maxakali, objetivamos compreender como ao longo do contato inter-religioso ocorre o processo de identificação do Deus cristão com o personagem indígena Topa. Na bibliografia sobre os índios Maxakali, Topa aparece como o personagem central do “mito de criação” do grupo, e apesar de alguns autores reconhecerem que seu nome também era associado ao Deus cristão, não existem análises sobre este processo. Assim, nosso desafio será compreender como Topa foi, e vêm sendo, apropriado de diferentes maneiras ao longo do contato entre os Maxakali e os missionários evangélicos; e também analisar o processo que possibilitou que este personagem gradativamente fosse identificado com o Deus cristão. O escopo desta pesquisa é, portanto, perceber o esforço missionário de inserir o Deus cristão ao contexto Maxakali através do personagem Topa. A partir da análise de mitos Maxakali e hinos evangélicos traduzidos para o idioma do grupo buscaremos compreender este processo de associação, e também a (in)adequação dos ensinamentos missionários aos padrões sócioculturais e religiosos dos índios Maxakali. / In this master’s dissertation, I analyze the pro inter-religious contact heard by acts of evangelic missions (SIL and MNTB) on the Maxakali Indian at the northeast of Minas Gerais. Besides of studying the proselytizes activities of this institutions among the Maxakali Indians, we have the goal to understand how the Indians started to associate Topa (the Indian character) as the Christian God during this inter-religious contact. In the Maxakali biography, Topa come as the central character of the “creation myth” of the group an despite of the fact that some authors recognize Topa as the Christian God in their works, that are no analysis about it. So the challenge here is to understand how Topa was used in so many ways during the contact between the Maxakali and the evangelic missionaries; and analyze the process the made possible this character to be gradually associated with the Christian God. Hence, the purpose of this research is to realize the missionary effort to introduce the Christian God in the Maxakali context through Topa. From the analysis of the Maxakali myths an evangelic religions songs translated to their idiom, we will try understand the association process, and also how (in)adequate were the Christian teaching to the Maxakali religious and social-cultural standards.

O Gaúcho, a Dominação Masculina e a Educação na Fronteira Sul-Riograndense: o Passado no Presente

Guedes, Berenice Lagos 22 March 2004 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2014-08-20T13:48:10Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Berenice Lagos Guedes_Dissertacao.PDF: 14155869 bytes, checksum: 2b2f1c2bd147dd53553e89c10f58be19 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004-03-22 / This paper intends to analyse some effects of male dominance on the borderline area between Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay upon the educational processes and professional carriers of such student-teachers who were attending the Program for Teacher Formation on the Job in the area of Pedagogy sponsored by the Universidade da Região da Campanha (Southernmost Plains Area University)/URCAMP/Bagé/RS, during the month of July 2003. These subjects were either married or engaged in a stable marital-like union and they are expected to build the present day local History of Education. It is comon knowledge that male dominance is inherited from the patriarchal family unit and the androcentric society that significantly influenced the formation of the gaucho society all along the XIXth Century; such a domination process was extended throughout the XXth Century until it began to peter out during the last decades. However, in the borderline area between southern Rio Grande do Sul and northern Uruguay it still makes its presence shown in the first years of the XXIst Century, due to this area peculiarities and by means of the Gaucho myth perpetuation. Gender relationships (particularly those happening within domestic confines) and their effects upon the lives of such female teachers who actually build present day regional History of Education were analysed. This situation is most evident in the country districts, although it is still present in urban areas, especially in the borderline small to middle-size counties. The methodology employed was embased upon the application of open and closed questionnaires, semi-structured interviews for recording subjects memories, along with a reaction-provoking visual technique. Research focal points were the manifestation of Rio Grande do Sul State native imagery, the social build-up of the gaucho culture, and male dominance, along with such interfaces that were built toward participants lives and the historical development of their trajectories on the History of Education area. Research adopted a quanti-qualitative approach, biased toward the qualitative side and data was analysed in a descriptive way. The urgent need for further studies on the gender relationships on Academe to bolster up organized resistance movements leading to the writing of a new local History of Education was perceived. / Este trabalho analisa algumas das repercussões da dominação masculina na região da fronteira do Rio Grande do Sul com o Uruguai no processo educacional e na trajetória profissional das professoras -alunas que cursaram o Programa de Formação de Professores em Serviço/Pedagogia oferecido pela Universidade da Região da Campa nha/URCAMP/Bagé/RS em julho de 2003, casadas ou em união estável e que constroem a História da Educação local no presente. Sabe-se que a dominação masculina é herança da família patriarcal e da sociedade androcêntrica que influenciou significativamente a formação social do gaúcho no século XIX. Verificou-se que esta se estendeu pelo século XX, parecendo abrandar-se no final do século. Entretanto, na região da fronteira do Rio Grande do Sul com o Uruguai esta ainda está presente, em pleno início do século XXI, pelas peculiaridades da região e através da perpetuação do Mito do gaúcho. Foram analisadas as relações de gênero (que se dão principalmente no espaço doméstico) e suas repercussões na vida de professoras que constroem a História da Educação regional no presente. Verificou-se que esta situação se evidencia mais na zona rural, embora também esteja presente na zona urbana dos pequenos e médios municípios da fronteira. A metodologia baseou-se na aplicação de questionários com questões abertas e fechadas, entrevistas semiestruturadas para captação da memória das entrevistadas e aplicação de uma técnica instigadora. Como eixos de pesquisa trabalhou-se com as manifestações do imaginário Sul-Rio-Grandense, a Formação Social do Gaúcho, a Dominação Masculina e suas interfaces na vida das participantes e a construção histórica da sua trajetória na História da Educação. A pesquisa seguiu uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa, com predomínio da qualitativa, sendo os dados analisados de forma descritiva. Percebeu-se a necessidade urgente de estudos sobre relações de gênero na Academia, com vistas à construção de nova História da Educação Regional.

L’amitié aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles en France : normes, réalités et représentations / Friendship in France XVIth-XVIIth : norms, practices and representations

Prevost, Aurelie 28 November 2011 (has links)
La thèse s’intéresse au duo amical entre hommes en France aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Le corpus, aux sources très diverses, écarte à la fois les femmes, les clercs et les intellectuels. Il s’agit d’étudier la réception des idées philosophiques, le regard porté sur la norme et la pratique de l’amitié. Après avoir retracé l’apport antique, patristique et médiéval, le cadre social est défini, notamment en ce qui concerne la place de la famille. Puis, les dictionnaires offrent un bon aperçu des différentes connotations des termes « amitié » et « ami ». Enfin, le travail s’attache à suivre le cours d’une amitié, de sa genèse à sa mort. L’importance du choix de l’ami et sa vertu transcendent le discours des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Les gestes de l’amitié sont recherchés et presque codés. La peur de l’abandon ou de la trahison est très présente. On s’interroge beaucoup sur la possibilité, voire l’obligation, de la transgression des règles sociales. Les contemporains recherchent un équilibre, toujours difficile à obtenir et à garder. Concorde et Charité sont les deux notions non pas tant concurrentes que connexes à l’amitié. L’amitié-duo se vit en effet dans une société où l’amitié est omniprésente. Enfin, la mort ne scelle pas, en théorie, la fin d’une amitié. Le second tome de ce travail présente la méthodologie suivie pour l’élaboration du corpus ainsi que les raisons de la mise à l’écart des femmes. Les sources et la bibliographie sont également présentées dans ce dernier volume. / The purpose of this dissertation is to study the influences of the norm on the representations of friendship and its practice in France during the 16th and the 17th centuries. The corpus draws aside both intellectuals and women to focus on the non-enclosed people. How two individuals are able to make friends with each other in the 16th and 17th centuries within a society itself thought in terms of friendship? This dissertation divides in two volumes. The first one is devoted to the study itself. The philosophical inheritance is presented, along with considerations on bonds linking the friend, the society, the couple and the family during the Modern Times. Questions of linguistics are also raised. The evolution of a friendship between two men is followed step by step from birth to death, as if it were a genuine living organism. Gestures and tokens of friendship are the bases of friendship. The latter is always endangered by the fragile balance between the social demands and the requirements of friendship. In the second volume are presented the methodology used to gather the documentary corpus, as well as our historical sources and bibliography. Reasons why women were excluded from our research work make the core of a specific chapter.

L'illusion heroïque : Rodrigue et la représentation du héros tragique dans le premier XVIIe siècle / The heroic illusion : Rodrigue and the tragic hero representation in the early 17th century

Aronica, Claire 16 September 2016 (has links)
Le point de départ de ce travail réside d’une part dans la découverte d’une différence considérable de nature entre le héros du Cid et les protagonistes du théâtre contemporain ; et d’autre part sur l’intuition que l’analyse littéraire utilise presque exclusivement Rodrigue comme personnage représentatif du premier XVIIe siècle. Notre première démarche a été de chercher à confirmer ces impressions en démontrant le statut particulier de ce personnage. Nous avons étudié la réception du Cid et de son héros au fil des siècles dans cette optique, jugeant que les réactions des spectateurs, des lecteurs et des critiques construisaient progressivement notre image actuelle de Rodrigue. Nous avons cherché à voir comment depuis janvier 1637 jusqu’au début du XXIe siècle la pièce et son héros ont été accueillis. Nous avons ainsi établi la longévité du texte, ainsi que les exceptionnelles réactions d’engouement qu’il a pu rencontrer. Cela nous a permis d’établir la mythification de la pièce et de dégager sa portée universelle. Ces premières conclusions nous ont invité à rechercher les causes d’un tel succès. C’est à nouveau l’étude de la réception qui nous a permis de découvrir que cette unanimité tenait essentiellement au personnage de Rodrigue. C’est lui qui semble d’abord retenir l’intérêt des lecteurs et des spectateurs. Nous avons donc cherché dans une deuxième partie à comprendre ce qui fascinait tant en Rodrigue. Pour cette raison, nous l’avons confronté à l’idée de héros. La coïncidence saisissante que les réactions publiques révèlent entre ce personnage archétypal et le protagoniste du Cid nous a permis d’aboutir à un premier stade de compréhension : la pièce est accueillie avec enthousiasme au XVIIe siècle parce que son personnage principal actualise l’idéal humain tel que l’époque se le représente. Cependant, l’engouement des siècles suivants repose sur le même motif : c’est parce que Rodrigue incarne le héros du XVIIe siècle que le spectateur du siècle des Lumières, du Romantisme, de la Troisième République ou de l’entre-deux-guerres l’apprécie. Le protagoniste du Cid apparaît comme un héros révéré mais regretté car appartenant à une époque révolue. Au sein de l’œuvre de Corneille, il est également envisagé comme un paradigme héroïque et incarne le modèle dont tous les personnages masculins du théâtre cornélien ne seraient que la déclinaison. Il est l’élément fondateur du mythe du « héros cornélien ». Cependant, l’unanimité de réception face à Rodrigue pose question : Le Cid a-t-il réellement eu une place à part sur le théâtre du premier XVIIe siècle ? À l’ouverture de notre troisième partie, une brève étude de ce théâtre permet de révéler l’écart entre l’image de Rodrigue façonnée par la réception et la réalité dramaturgique des années 1630-1650. La tragi-comédie de Corneille n’est pas la seule pièce à connaître le succès et son héros n’est pas l’unique incarnation sur scène de l’homme tel qu’on se le représente alors. De nombreux autres dramaturges connaissent de réelles réussites. Toutefois, la réception critique les oublie. L’histoire littéraire semble ne vouloir retenir que Corneille pour la postérité. Elle impose Le Cid comme pièce modèle ; mais, se faisant, elle fausse l’appréciation que nous nous faisons du théâtre et des mentalités du XVIIe siècle. Nombre de théories critiques se sont en effet élaborées sur l’idée d’un premier XVIIe siècle glorieux à l’image de Rodrigue et d’une seconde moitié de siècle déclinante et sombre. C’est le cas de Paul Bénichou et de sa « démolition du héros ». Mais peut-on en garantir la véracité si elles reposent pour affirmer la grandeur des premières décennies du siècle sur le seul exemple de Rodrigue ? Une relecture de la littérature de cette période permet pour finir de revenir sur des conceptions altérées notamment par l’éclat du succès incomparable du Cid et d’envisager le premier XVIIe siècle sous une autre lumière. / The basis of this work lies primarily in the discovery of a huge nature difference between the hero in “Le Cid”, and the far less glorious contemporary drama protagonists. On the other hand, it is based upon the intuition that most literary analysis almost exclusively use Rodrigue as the character of the first decades of the17th century.The first step of our work was therefore to try to confirm these impressions by conveying the very special status of this character. We have studied the treatment of “Le Cid” and its hero throughout the centuries with this goal in mind, assessing that the way audiences, readers and critics reacted to the play steadily built our perception of Rodrigue. We have tried to understand how the play and its hero were welcomed from January 1637 to the outcome of the 21st century. We have thus established the longevity of the text as well as the outstanding praise reactions it met with. This enabled us to substantiate the mythification of the play and bring into light its universal scope.From these first conclusions, we then tried to find out the reasons why the success of the play has never been denied. Here again it is the study of the critic treatment that quickly showed us that the unanimous public feeling was essentially due to Rodrigue as a character. For it is he mainly who seems to captivate the audience and the readers’interest. In the second part, we therefore tried to understand why Rodrigue is so mesmerising. With this purpose in mind, we confronted our character to the very hero notion. The stiking coincidence that public reactions convey between this archetypal character and “Le Cid” protagonist brought us to a first conclusion: the play is enthusiastically welcomed in the 17th century because the main character updates the human ideal as it was viewed at the time. Yet, the passion that the play generated in later periods is based on the same principle: it is because Rodrigue embodies the 17th century hero that the public from the age of enlightenment, from the great romantic era, from the French 3rd Republic or the interwar period do feel fond of him. “Le Cid” protagonist appears both as a revered and missed hero because he belongs to days gone by, a past example of the ideal man. In Corneille’s entire works, he is also regarded as a heroic paradygm and is viewed as the Cornelian male reference from which other male characters are derived in the works of the playwright. He is the very source of “the Cornelian hero” myth.However, Rodrigue’s unanimous critic treatment brings forward another issue: does “Le Cid” really stand apart in the early 17th century drama? At the outset of our third part, a brief survey of the period drama reveals the gap between Rodrigue’s image as it was made by the critic treatment and the dramatic reality of the 1630-1650 era. Corneille’s tragicomedy is not the only successful play and its hero is not the only stage embodiment of the male figure as it was then represented. Several other playwrights were successful too. Yet, the critic treatment does not take them into account. It seems as if Corneille is the only author to be remembered in the history of literature. Thus, “Le Cid” is the play reference. But it alters our vision of the 17th century drama and mentalities.In fact, scores of critic theories were based on the idea of a glorious early 17th century (impersonated by Rodrigue) as opposed to a gloomier and declining period at the end of the century. But can one guarantee their truthfulness if they are only based on the character of Rodrigue to assert the grandeur of the early 17th century decades?To conclude, a precise and detailed reading of the period literature allows one to study many misinterpretations, particularly because of “Le Cid” unmatched success, and to consider the early 17th century with a brand new perspective.

La réinvention des mythes dans la poésie contemporaine d'Amérique centrale : Luz Méndez de la Vega (1919), Claribel Alegría (1924), Ana María Rodas (1937), Gioconda Belli (1948), Luz Lescure (1951) et Amanda castro (1962-2010)

Gondouin, Sandra 04 November 2011 (has links)
Si la littérature centre-américaine est peu étudiée, la poésie contemporaine des femmes de l’Isthme l’est moins encore. Nous avons donc souhaité participer au développement de ce champ de recherche, en étudiant l’œuvre lyrique de six écrivaines d’Amérique centrale. Dans ce corpus, publié de 1948 à nos jours, la réinvention des mythes – par l’appropriation, l’actualisation et/ou le détournement – nous a semblé particulièrement significative. Pour l’aborder, nous suivons tout d’abord le fil de la vie des poétesses sur la trame de l’Histoire contemporaine de l’Isthme et de sa littérature. Puis, nous tentons de caractériser les différents types de mythes qui peuplent leurs recueils – mythes ancestraux (amérindiens, grecs et bibliques) et mythes « nouveaux-nés », fruits de représentations stéréotypées et souvent idéalisées (l’Eternel féminin ou le « macho »). Par l’analyse textuelle et une approche théorique basée sur la réécriture et la mythocritique, nous étudions le traitement de ces motifs et figures mythiques selon leur provenance et leur valeur prescriptive envers les femmes. Nous observons ensuite de quelle manière la réinvention des mythes s’inscrit dans la poétisation du cycle de la vie, de la création (Genèse du Monde, de l’humain, de l’enfant, du poème) à la mort. Enfin, nous analysons comment, à travers le prisme du mythe, le statut de la femme et de l’homme sont redéfinis – notamment en brisant l’alternative femme exemplaire (Pénélope, l’ange du foyer) / femme fatale ou « perdue » (Eve, Médée, la prostituée), en valorisant l’héroïsme au féminin et à travers de nouveaux mythes (la femme sauvage) – pour aboutir à une réinvention des relations homme/femme. / The literature of Central America – and in particular the contemporary works of the female poets in this region – is a little-studied subject. We therefore wished to help develop this field of research by examining the lyrical work of six women writers from Central America. In this corpus, published from 1948 to the present day, the reinvention of myths is, to our minds, especially significant. In order to tackle this subject, we shall first unravel the threads of these poets’ lives from the fabric of the contemporary history and literature of Central America. We shall then attempt to characterise the types of myths found in their poems – age-old tales (Amerindian, Greek and Biblical) as well as « newborn » myths that are the fruit of stereotyped and images (the Archetypal Female or the « macho » male). Through textual analysis and a theoretical approach based on rewriting and myth criticism, we shall study the way these myths are dealt with according to where they come from and their advisory value regarding women. We shall then consider the way in which the reinvention of myths is part of the poetic depiction of the life cycle from creation (the genesis of the world, of human life; the birth of a child, of a poem) to death. Finally, we shall analyse how the status of women and men is redefined through the prismatic distortion of the myth – by breaking down the dichotomy between the commendable woman (Penelope, the angel in the house) and the femme fatale or « fallen woman » (Eve, Medea, the prostitute), or praising female heroism through new myths (such as the wild woman) – with a view to breaking new ground in male-female relationships.

調適性創新:商業模式的主導設計演化與後進者的回應 / Adaptive Innovation: The Evolving Dominant Design of Business Model and the Second Mover’s Responses

陳曌, Chen, Zhao Unknown Date (has links)
當身處一個競爭激烈的行業,企業想要保持發展,就必須與時俱進,積極創新。但企業應該從哪裡找到創新的機會?除了技術和產品之創新,越來越多企業開始關注商業模式的創新。過去,對商業模式創新的討論大部分集中在企業的內部系統活動改造,或是期待從開放創新中尋找機會。本研究嘗試把商業模式理解為一種敵我對應關係,從主流企業與後進者的攻防戰中理解創新的調適過程。通過分析「非主流」的後進者如何回應主流設計,並由主流企業之迷思理解後進者如何找出商業模式創新的可能。本研究發現,商業模式創新的本質是動態的,而其過程是調適的。後進者可以由主流企業建構商業模式之迷思中,找到自身商業模式創新的諸多樣貌與調適的巧思。 / In an industry that faces intensified competitions, firms need innovate constantly and timely so as to maintain steady growth. But where could firms identify opportunities for innovation? In addition to the innovation of technologies and products, more and more firms pay attention to business model innovation. Previously, our understanding of business model innovation is limited to firms’ business activity systems, or to seek opportunities from open innovation. This thesis attempts to consider the business model as a kind of responsive process between rivals; and to analyze the adaptation of business model within the defensive process between the mainstream firms and the second mover. By analyzing how the non-mainstream player may respond to the evolving dominant design, it is posisble to recognize the myths of the development of mainstream business models. This research suggests that business model innovations are dynamic in their nature and adaptive in their developmental process. The second mover could identify various patterns of new business models and conceive creative adaptation from the mainstream firms’ myths in building their own business models.

L'Orient-Express, configuration littéraire d'un mythe européen (1883-2000) / The Orient Express, a literary approach to a European myth (1883-2000)

El Gammal, Blanche 21 November 2016 (has links)
Cette étude aborde la manière dont l’Orient-Express a été décrit, perçu et imaginé, et s’efforce de mesurer l’écart entre les représentations communes et ce qui se dégage d’un corpus de textes très divers à travers trois grands axes de réflexion : les évocations des itinéraires de l’Orient-Express, les discours tenus sur le train et ses voyageurs, les thématisations et récupérations littéraires dont il a fait l’objet. L’idée directrice du propos est de montrer comment l’Orient-Express, rêve programmé par de très efficaces campagnes publicitaires et suscité par un imaginaire géographique, historique et littéraire puissant, n’a pu pleinement convaincre les voyageurs, mais aussi les écrivains et les lecteurs qui, semble-t-il, ne cessent de déplorer la disparition d’un train et d’un voyage qui n’ont peut-être jamais existé ou qui ne sont jamais vraiment ceux qu’ils imaginaient. / The purpose of this study is to see how the Orient Express was perceived, described and fantasized, and to measure the gap between common representations and what appears in quite different texts through three major lines : the evocations of the routes of the Orient Express, the discourses on the train and its passengers, the thematizations and literary recuperations. It aims at showing how the Orient Express, a dream programmed by very effective advertising campaigns and sustained by powerful geographical, historical and literary images, could not fully convince travelers, but also writers and readers who, apparently, do not cease to mourn the disappearance of a train and a travel that have perhaps never existed or that are never actually those they dreamt of.

Hranice archetypu a stereotypu v tzv. červené knihovně / The Boundary between the Archetype and Stereotype in the Love Romance Stories

Štelová, Diana January 2017 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to cover the structure and functioning of archetypes, stereotypes or emblems in selected genres of popular literature - the romance novels and comics. A similar structure of mythization in the popular genres is revealed through mutual comparison. Selected works are analyzed on the basis of Jungian psychology and its concepts of the unconscious and the archetypal image. The original myths, fairy tales, other popular genres and some works of the European fictional tradition are involved in the comparison. Among others, this thesis also draws from approaches included in various works of sociology, ethnography, Religious Studies and feminist literary criticism. The comparative analysis has shown that provable connection between popular literature and the original myth structures can be traced and the collective unconscious serves as a transmission medium. The genres of popular literature are worthy of further research because they reflect not only contemporary social situation but also essential structures of the human psyche. This thesis clearly demonstrates that the romance novels and comics are valid parts of the literary sphere and suggests one of the possible ways suitable for further study of the subject.
