This paper will consider the function of queer space and presence in the post modern horror film genre. Beginning with George Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead and continuing through to contemporary examples of the genre, the paper posits the function of the queer monster or monstrous as integral to and representative of the genre as a whole. The paper analyzes both the current theory and scholarship of the genre and through Lacanian psychoanalytic theory and queer theory offers a theory of how these theories can add to existing theory and scholarship.

This study examines changes in culture, economics and politics in Taiwan. Ronald Inglehart suggests that culture, economics and politics are mutually connected and these dynamics shape each other over time. Richard Florida argues that the driving force behind the transformation of a society¡¦s lifestyles, worldview and values is the rise of human creativity. In order to observe the changes over time, Inglehart and his colleagues have been collecting data through questionnaires (World Values Survey) in countries around the world. The purpose of this study is to measure and interpret the recent changes in Taiwan. Data collected from Taiwan is compiled in a unique database for analysis. This paper discusses the findings from this analysis and interprets the direction of change brought by intergenerational change. In addition, a cross-cultural analysis between Sweden and Taiwan is performed using the latest data collected from the two countries. Results suggest that Taiwan¡¦s shift is in the direction of Postmodernity. In addition, younger people are found to be more tolerant against different groups of people compared to the older generation.

The main goal of this work was: Analyze relations of Christians with the sacred in the discursive, practical utilitarian and spectacular conceptions of postmodern religiosity in a traditional Presbyterian Church Protestant Christian. The subject of this survey, which was qualitative, were the leaders of this religious institution, especially pastors and priests. We verify, by interviews and observations, which many followers of Presbyterian Church are involved or are contradictory in the acceptance of spectaculars practices and of utilitarian mysticism in its religious experience. In summary, they practice postmodern religiosity by the fact they think and live the religion as a consumer product. This influence of the massive religious about them has led us to see the frequent breaking of religious ethics established within the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Internal Constitution of Presbyterians from many followers of this institution. We start from the classic work of Weber (1998), the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism and resorted to other theorists as Bauman (1997), Lipovetsky (2007), Frankl (1994 and 1997), Pierucci (2006), Prandi and Pierucci (1996), Eliade (1978 and 1992), Debord (1997) and others who have inspired us in this research. / Neste trabalho de pesquisa buscamos mostrar a influência do fenômeno religioso massificado da pós-modernidade sobre as igrejas protestantes reformadas tradicionais como a Presbiteriana. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi: Analisar as relações dos cristãos com o sagrado nas concepções discursivas, práticas utilitárias e espetaculares de religiosidade pósmoderna em uma igreja cristã protestante tradicional Presbiteriana. Os sujeitos desta pesquisa qualitativa foram os líderes desta instituição religiosa, especialmente os pastores e presbíteros. Constatamos pelas entrevistas e observações, que muitos adeptos da Igreja Presbiteriana estão envolvidos ou se mostram contraditórios na aceitação das práticas espetacularizadas e de misticismo utilitário em sua vivência religiosa. Em resumo, eles praticam a religiosidade pósmoderna pelo fato de pensar e vivenciar a religião como produto de consumo. Esta influência da massificação religiosa sobre eles nos levou a perceber a quebra frequente da ética religiosa estabelecida na Confissão de Fé de Westminster e na Constituição Interna dos Presbiterianos por parte de grande número de adeptos desta instituição. Partimos da obra clássica de Weber (1998), A ética protestante e o espírito do capitalismo e recorremos também a outros teóricos como Bauman (1997), Lipovetsky (2007), Frankl (1994; 1997), Pierucci (2006), Prandi e Pierucci (1996), Eliade (1978; 1992), Debord (1997) e outros que nos inspiraram nesta pesquisa.

The submitted work is oriented towards the writing of young poets who made their authorial debuts into literary communication in the 1990s. It regards the creation of authors unburdered by experience with the cutural politics valid before November 1989, and therefore creation born in the complicated context of the post-totalitarian cultural situation in which very different traditions were combined, including traditions which were banned from public communication during the previous decades. Parallel with this process the young poetry of the 1990s was born, whose character was inevitably marked by the period interest in everything from the past that had been until recently forbidden. The work begins with an independent chapter devoted to the literary-critrical reception of young poetry in the 1990s. Aspects analyzed include the language, framework of values, criteria and expectations which were valid for contemporary literary criticism of young poetry in the 1990s. It is demonstrated that the key question for young poetry to answer was the question of what traditions it should draw upon in the changed and democratized cultural and social conditions. Expectations were oriented in the direction of the past, towards a connection with one of the worthy and newly non-proscribed traditions, rather than towards a neo-avantgarde seach for new expressive registers. The subsequent three chapters follow three expressive currents within the framework of young poetry of the 1990s {--} spiritual poetry, objective poetry and imaginative poetry. Analytical and interpretational explorations of these three currents are linked by a common point of view, which is a focus on the lyrical subject and the form of its stylization. This methodological point of departure leans on Červenka's theory of the the lyric subject, to which is devoted the independent theoretically oriented chapter in the introductory part of the work. This unified focus of attention on the lyric subject made it possible in the conclusion of this work to create a typology of the form of the lyric subject and to follow basic tendencies characteristic for subjectivity in the young poetry of the 1990s. It was demonstrated that the young poetry of the 1990s was willing to accept the three traditional lyrical modes and expressive registers, but it removes from them any kind of programmatic and ideological accents. Traditional lyrical modes, after their transplantation into a post-totalitarian and also post-modern situation, stop being part of a master narrative and therefore their original metanarrative character is eliminated (from spiritual poetry the explicit confessionality is lost, imaginative poetry removes surrealistic revolutionarity and psychologism, the poetry of objectivity eliminates the pathos regarding necessary developmental change, with it this lyrical mode was applied by Skupina 42). Traditions therefore do not continue to evolve in their original forms, but are selectively used with a view to the current state of culture and thought.

This study is based on interviews with six students from Stockholm that have shared their feelings/opinions about how they experience their identity as a student. The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how the identity of students is constructed but also how the post modern society affects the life that the students are living. With a higher demand on education and responsibility of making the right decisions, the student’s main concern is not only her studies, but also the goal to succeed in her life. The result points out that the environment which the student lives in has an influence on how the identity develops. The identity has nothing to do with the actually fact that the student studies, but with how the student acts outside the university.

A tese O Imaginário de Fernando Pessoa: da educação cindida à educação sentida investiga o universo simbólico da obra de Fernando Pessoa, analisando seus três principais heterônimos Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos e Ricardo Reis , além dos poemas assinados por ele mesmo. Após proceder à mitocrítica da referida obra, discutiu-se sobre sua relação com a educação e seus desdobramentos éticos, à luz de uma abertura pós-moderna. A base referencial fundamentou-se na Antropologia do Imaginário, de Gilbert Durand, contando com significativas contribuições de Edgar Morin, Michel Maffesoli, Gaston Bachelard, Georges Gusdorf, Mircea Eliade e Joseph Campbell, entre outros, e buscou um reposicionamento epistemológico, com a noção de trajeto antropológico, coincidentia oppositorum e razão sensível, ancoradas na pluralidade de sentidos organizada pelo mito. O objetivo é compreender a mitopoiesis pessoana, seu descentramento em heterônimos e os substratos míticos de sua obra, mostrando como sua criação poética relaciona-se com uma educação do imaginário, que opera a reunião dos saberes cindidos pela modernidade. / The thesis The imaginary of Fernando Pessoa: from the divided education to the sensible education investigates the symbolic universe of the works of Fernando Pessoa, analising his tree most important heteronymous Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis -, besides poems signed by himself. After procedure a mythcritics of the mentioned work, one argue about his relationship with the education and its ethics results and effects, in a perspective of a post-modern landscape. The referential basis was founded in Antropology of the Imaginary, of Gilbert Durant, counting with important contributions of Edgar Morin, Michel Maffesoli, Gaston Bachelard, Georges Gusdorf, Mircea Eliade and Joseph Cambell, among others, and look a new epistemologic position, with the notion of anthropologic journey, coincidentia oppositorum and sensitive reason, based in the plurality of meanings organized by the myth. The aim is to understand the Pessoas mitopoiesis, his decentralizing in heteronymous and the mythics substracts of his work, pointing out how his poetic creation is related with an education of the imaginary, that makes the reunion of knowledges divided by the modernity.

The novel Seahorses, still unstudied in Brazil, had a huge impact in the literary milieu, been particularly well received with European press, the author by that time being very young, 17 years old, considered as a prodigy. The myth of Electra contributes on this study due to its importance in recent times, being a study reference for Humanities, besides Literature. This study comprehends a bibliographical research pertaining to the Comparative Literature field, based on the reading of many scholars from diverse areas: literature, anthropology, and even psychiatry. In the perspective of obtaining the aim of the study, we sustained the research in the theoretical assumption recurrent in the study of mythology, studies on the imaginary and intertextuality and for that purposed we relayed on some authors, such as Gilbert Durand, Gaston Bachelard e Jean-Jacques Wunenburger, who shall provide support to the issue of the imaginary. The intertextual discussion among the texts shall be orientated by the study Tiphaine Samoyault and Laurent Jenny. Among other scholars, from mythology studies, literary criticism and even from anthropology and psychiatry, yet it is possible to highlight the scholar Linda Hutcheon in order to contextualize the post-modern novel, Carlinda Pate Nuñez who thoroughly analyzed the three Greek tragedies, as well as Mircea Eliade and E. M. Milietinski. As a result of this investigation process, we understand that the textual upturns, recurring to the literary memory, the text circulates in movements, between what is already given and the new, to the renewed interlacing of the words with other senses and meanings where literature constitutes itself. Henceforth, the myth of Electra is reconsidered, questioned, reviewed, and bringing in itself several other subtleties, issues directly or indirectly related to the myth, in as much the discussion on womanhood and incest. / A pesquisa aqui delineada focalizou-se em reflexões e em análise envolvendo as obras Electra, de Sófocles; Coéforas, de Ésquilo; e Electra, de Eurípedes. Com base em estudos sobre intertextualidade, objetivou-se identificar como o mito de Electra encontra-se presente na narrativa O Sonho de Electra escrito pela autora inglesa, filha de indianos Bidisha Bandyopadhyay, publicada em 1997 em Londres e traduzida no Brasil em 1998. Na perspectiva de alcançar o objetivo proposto, sustentamos a pesquisa nos pressupostos teóricos recorrentes ao estudo da mitologia, do imaginário e da intertextualidade. E, para isso, buscamos alguns autores como Gilbert Durand (1983; 1993;1996; 2002), Gaston Bachelard (1993; 2001) e Jean-Jacques Wunenburger (2007) que darão suporte à questão do imaginário. A discussão intertextual entre os textos será norteada pelos estudos realizados por Tiphaine Samoyault (2008) e Laurent Jenny (1979). Entre vários outros estudiosos, seja da mitologia ou crítica literária e até mesmo da antropologia e da psiquiatria, ainda é possível destacar Linda Hutcheon (1991) para contextualizar o romance pós-moderno, Carlinda Pate Nuñez (2000) que analisara minuciosamente as três obras da tragédia grega, além de Mircea Eliade (1984; 1993; 2002) e E. M. Milietinski (1987). Como resultado desse processo de investigação entendemos que entre as retomadas intertextuais, ao recorrer-se a memória literária, o texto circula em movimento, entre o que está dado ao novo, ao novo entrelaçamento das palavras, com outros sentidos e significados, a literatura vai constituindo-se. E, assim, o mito de Electra vai sendo repensado, revisto, questionado, trazendo consigo várias outras nuances, questões diretamente ou indiretamente relacionadas ao mito, como a discussão da condição feminina e do incesto. Sobretudo, no romance existe algo que vai além da intertextualidade, algo mais complexo, pois, ocorre uma subversão da dinâmica clássica do mito, uma contestação deste, assim, como há também críticas às produções artísticas atuais, tanto no cinema, quanto na música, além da própria literatura.

A presente dissertação investiga a literatura internacional e nacional acerca das teorias de cidade mundial, global e pós-moderna, destacando a sua relação com a metrópole de São Paulo. Para tanto, como recurso teórico, foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica. Dessa forma, ressalta-se que os conceitos de cidade mundial e cidade global não apresentam diferenças significativas, sendo utilizados pelos autores a depender de sua preferência. Já o conceito de cidade pós-moderna tem uma utilização mais restrita se comparado com os termos anteriores. Principalmente na literatura internacional, o conceito de cidade pós-moderna apresenta uma inclinação para abordagens de fenômenos culturais da sociedade. Já na literatura nacional, tal conceito é pouquíssimo utilizado e, quando presente, relaciona-se mais com um padrão de planejamento urbano o qual, por sua vez, prioriza as necessidades dos atores hegemônicos. Assim, verificou-se que existem duas formas principais de apreensão do conceito de cidade mundial/global. Uma dessas formas foi denominada forma-diagnóstico, constituindo o resultado da investigação das novas formas-conteúdo da cidade contemporânea. E a outra apreensão foi denominada forma paradigma-planejamento estratégico, a qual se relaciona com o modelo defendido de cidade que deve ser seguido para se conquistar competitividade na globalização. Sendo o planejamento estratégico a operacionalização desse modelo. Por fim, destaca-se que grande parte da literatura nacional, inclusive na Ciência Geográfica, considera a metrópole de São Paulo uma cidade mundial/global. Nesse sentido, diversos autores destacam seu contexto histórico-geográfico, apontando, assim, uma especificidade do fenômeno: é uma cidade mundial/global da semiperiferia do capitalismo. A literatura internacional, no geral, também considera São Paulo uma cidade mundial/global. Contudo, neste último caso, poucos estudos dedicaram-se a estabelecer relação com São Paulo, já que se concentram, sobretudo, na análise de suas realidades locais. / This dissertation investigates the international and national literature concerning the theories of world, global and post-modern city, highlighting its relations with São Paulo Metropolis. For that, as theoretical resource, it was used the bibliographical research. Thus, it points out that the concepts of world city and global city do not present significant differences, it has been used by the authors depending on the preference of each one. Yet, the concept of post-modern city has a more restricted utilization, if it was compared with the previous terms. Mostly in the international literature, the concept of post-modern city presents an inclination for cultural phenomena approaches in the society. However, in the national literature, such concept is used just a little and, when it appears, it relates more to a pattern of urban planning which prioritizes the needs of hegemonic actors. This way, it was verified that there are two main forms to apprehend the world/global city concept. One of these forms was denominated diagnostic form, constituting the result of new content forms investigation of the contemporary city. And the other apprehension was denominated paradigm strategic planning form, which is related with the model of city that should be followed to acquire competitiveness in the globalization. The strategic planning is the operationalization of this model. Finally, it is highlighted that great part of the national literature, includes in the Geographical Science, considers São Paulo Metropolis a world/global city, as well as in the international literature. In this sense, several authors highlight its historicalgeographical context, and they point to, this way, a phenomenon specificity: its a world/global city of the capitalisms semi periphery. The international literature, in general, also considers São Paulo a world/global city. However, in this last case, few studies have been dedicated to establish relations with São Paulo, since they concentrate, above all, in the analysis of their local realities.

Orientador: Suzi Frankl Sperber / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Artes / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-25T10:19:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Vieira_ElisaMartinsBelem_D.pdf: 3916824 bytes, checksum: 1b1ed7ffc82cb16e0d9cd783654fae74 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Defende-se uma possível relação entre performance, autoria e cura. Para tanto, apresenta-se a trajetória e a análise de algumas obras dos criadores, respectivamente, das artes visuais, da dança, do teatro: Lygia Clark (BH, MG), Dudude Herrmann (BH, MG) e Enrique Diaz (RJ, RJ). A pesquisa mostrou que os trabalhos desses artistas apresentam um pensamento sobre a transformação da imagem corporal. A recriação de si, por meio da ação criativa, pode ser considerada em sua dimensão curativa. O conceito pulsão de ficção, de Sperber, pode auxiliar na verificação da hipótese. Sperber defende a existência dos chamados "universais" ou "saberes básicos": "Simbolização, efabulação e imaginário pertenceriam ao elemento comum ao ser humano de todas as culturas, em todos os tempos" (SPERBER, 2009, p. 98). Aquilo que está à "disposição de todo e qualquer ser humano"(SPERBER, 2009, p. 98) deve também ser despertado. Pois, como a autora mostra, desde tenra idade a criança tem necessidade de criar, a fim de elaborar emoções profundas e eventos vividos. A criação se dá por meio dos recursos que a criança tem, sejam a linguagem falada ou a encenação corporal. Essa inclinação ou necessidade de elaborar o evento vivido, por meio de uma criação ficcional, se repete em todas as idades do ser humano. Como uma ação de resistência e de procura pela transformação, seria preciso estimular, de forma irrestrita, a pulsão de ficção, por meio da autoria. Os trabalhos de Herrmann, Diaz e Clark, apresentam nas diferentes linguagens artísticas, aspectos autorais, além da valorização do potencial individual para a criação. Por meio das análises, são mostrados os aspectos singulares nas obras desses criadores e em seus trabalhos como pedagogos ou diretores. Mostram-se relações de similaridade e influência entre as obras daqueles artistas brasileiros com os princípios de trabalho do grupo Judson Dance Theater, da década de 1960, em Nova York, bem como seus desdobramentos como o sistema Viewpoints e Six Viewpoints / Abstract: I point out a possible relationship among performance, authorship and healing. For such a reason, I present the career and the analyses of works of art selected from creators of the art fields, respectively, from the visual arts, dance and theatre: Lygia Clark (BH, MG), Dudude Herrmann (BH, MG) e Enrique Diaz (RJ, RJ). The research showed that the works of those artists concerns about a transformation in the body¿s image. The act of recreating yourself, by the creative action, can be considered in its healing dimension. The concept pulse of fiction, by Sperber, can help to verify the hypothesis. Sperber points out the existence of the "universals" or the "basic knowledges": simbolization, efabulation and imagination. Those aspects that are "available to all and any human being" (SPERBER, 2009, p. 98) should be also awakened. As Sperber shows, since an early age the child feels that is necessary to create, in order to elaborate deep emotions and events experienced.The child evocates his or her own resources, such as the spoken language or body's performance, in the process of creation.This aptitude or necessity to elaborate the event experienced, by means of the fictional creation, is repeated in all ages of the human being. As an action to resist and looking for transformation, it would be necessary to stimulate, in an unrestricted way, the pulse of fiction, practicing authorship. The works of Herrmann, Diaz and Clark, shows in different artistic languages, authorial aspects, and also the value of the individual potential to creation. By means of analyses, some singular aspects of the works of those creators and theirs practices as teachers or directors are shown. The thesis shows relations of similarity and influence among the works of those Brazilian artists with some principles of work from the group Judson Dance Theater, of the 1960¿s, in New York, as well as other practices stimulated by this group such as Viewpoints and Six Viewpoints / Doutorado / Artes da Cena / Doutora em Artes da Cena

For the past 69 years, since the start of the addiction treatment system in the United States, treatment providers have been utilizing the same interventions in rehab centers, the majority of which are based on outdated ideas about substance misusers. Though the premise of such interventions has been questioned by researchers, treatment providers continue to utilize them. Family therapy, in particular, shows promising results for substance misusers and their families; it has been cited as the most powerful form of intervention in addiction treatment. Nevertheless, family therapy is underrepresented in the addiction literature and rehab centers. Furthermore, postmodern models of family therapy are even more scarce within these contexts. The purpose of this study was twofold: to explore the viability of an underrepresented, alternative approach to treatment, and to explore the personal, organizational, and clinical processes occurring throughout the development of a systemic family program implemented in an adult inpatient rehab center with an individualistic approach. The researcher modified action research methodology to analyze archival data acquired from a completed clinical project, which was implemented over the course of three weekends. The researcher adapted categorizing and coding procedures from action research in order to analyze 34 personal journal entries and 11 supervision meetings, all of which illuminated the changes in the personal, organizational, and clinical processes that occurred throughout the clinical project. To illustrate the viability of a solution-focused, multiple family group (SFBT-MFG) approach for substance misusers and their families, the researcher collected and analyzed a total of 79 client and family evaluation surveys, 19 pretreatment change questionnaires, and six staff evaluation surveys. The results of this study support an SFBT-MFG approach for adult substance misusers and their families. The researcher identified enhanced communication, understanding, honesty, and support as key themes, along with nine other themes, in the evaluation surveys completed by the participants in the family weekends. The study can help other marriage and family therapists undergo their own processes of integration when practicing systemically in a culture guided by individualistic notions of mental health.
