Saint-Exupéryho Malý princ jako morální výzva a naděje. / Little Prince by Saint Exupery as moral appeal and hope.ZÁVOROVÁ, Marta January 2011 (has links)
In my diploma thesis titled Saint-Exupéry´s Little Prince as a moral challenge and hope I deal with ethical issues and moral principles which are losing their meaning and perhaps also an importance for many fellow citizens in today´s hectic time. A morality of a person depends on morals throughout the society to which an individual belongs. A penetration of philosophical themes about the meaning of life in the Little Prince helps a reader to orient himself and to think about the life itself. In the theoretical part of my thesis I deal with a biography of A. de Saint-Exupéry and an analysis of the work of the Little Prince. Other chapters are devoted to a theoretical introduction of the concepts of ethics and morality. In a subsequent chapter there is dealt with an individual´s moral development according to Piaget and Kohlberg. In the practical part of the diploma thesis I set a goal of the thesis and hypotheses. The goal of the thesis is to characterize a possibility how to use Saint Exupéry´s work as a mean how to educate our young generation directly through its own reading or via their reading parents. It is one of the aspects of a current need to educate the children and youth in ethics and to get it back with a due attention to our primary and secondary schools. The research sample was composed of students from the multi-years´ Gymnasium in Vimperk and Strakonice aged 11 to 19 years. To obtain data for the investigation I chose a method of an own questionnaire, designed to meet research needs. The survey was anonymous. After an evaluation, I summarized the obtained data into tables and graphs. In the discussion I analysed and evaluated the results for individual questions. In a conclusion of the thesis the stated hypotheses were confirmed.

“I know what I am and what I am not”: heterosexual male cross-dressing in postwar America, 1960-1990Glover, Alexie Moira 23 August 2018 (has links)
This thesis uncovers and historicizes an overlooked aspect of America’s transgender history. The heterosexual male cross-dressers, or transvestites, of mid-century America constituted a group of individuals that espoused a particular discourse of respectability in their cross-gender practices, conceptualized unique bi-gender identities, and cultivated a community. Heterosexual male cross-dressers, under the leadership of Virginia Prince and Ariadne Kane worked to separate themselves from broader, and more recognizable, identities such as gay transvestites, drag queens, and homosexuals in an effort to define themselves as respectable. A critical historical analysis of Fantasia Fair indicates that Prince and Kane were not alone in their desire for a community of their peers, with whom to share ideas about sexological theories, personal stories, and tactics for self-preservation. As a direct response to the pervasive nature of transsexual narratives in the field of transgender history, this project demonstrates the important advances made by heterosexual male cross-dressers to our modern understanding of trans diversity. These cross-dressing narratives prompt historians of transgender phenomena to think critically about the diversity of identity categories that are encompassed in our present understanding of the term ‘transgender’. / Graduate / 2019-07-30

A cristandade e o reino francês : duas facetas do poder Régio (1372-1404) /Assis, Ricardo Fontes dos Santos de. January 2008 (has links)
Orientador: Susani Silveira Lemos França / Banca: Ana Paula Tavares Magalhães Taconi / Banca: Márcia Regina Capelari Naxara / Resumo: No final da Idade Média, foram formulados escritos pedagógicos que estabeleceram normas de conduta para uma boa governação em muitos dos reinos da Europa. Estes escritos são os conhecidos Espelhos de Príncipe, tratados normativos dirigidos especificamente aos governantes. A França, em especial entre os séculos XIV e XV, foi um dos mais importantes palcos dessa modalidade de escrita, justamente por Carlos V, durante seu reinado (1364- 1380), ter favorecido a presença de inúmeros letrados na sua corte e ter estimulado esta produção normativa. Assim, a proposta deste trabalho gira em torno de perceber como os homens desse período pensaram o poder e contribuíram para construí-lo dentro dos moldes que julgavam ideais. Dados seus objetivos de reformar toda a Cristandade e de formular a imagem do príncipe a partir das memórias do reino da França, as obras de Philippe de Mézières (1327-1405), Le Songe du Vieil Pelerin, e de Christine de Pisan (1363-1430), Le livre des fais et bonnes meurs du sage roy Charles V, foram tomadas como base no presente estudo. Ambos os autores, por terem vivido e servido na corte do referido monarca, fizeram uso de suas experiências e dedicaram-se a destacar o papel dos reis na condução do reino e a traçar novos rumos para as práticas políticas / Résumé: À la fin du Moyen Âge, ont été formules des écris pédagogiques qui ont établi des normalisations de comportements pour une bonne gouvernance en plusieurs royaumes de l'Europe. Ces écris sont les connus Miroirs du Prince, traités normatifs dirigés spécifiquement aux gouvernants. La France, en spécial entre le XIVème et XVème siècles, a été un des plus importants scénario de cette modalité d'écriture, justement parce que Charles V, pendant son règne (1364-1380), a favorisé la présence d'innobrable gens de lettres dans sa cour et a stimulé cette production normative. Ainsi, la proposition de ce travail cherche à percevoir comment les hommes de cette période-là ont pensé le pouvoir et ont contribué pour le construire dans les modèles qu'ils croyaient idéaux. Donnés ses objectifs de reformuler toute la Chrétienté et de formuler l'image du prince à partir des mémoires du royaume de la France, les ouvrages de Philippe de Mézières (1327-1405), Le Songe du Vieil Pelerin, et de Christine de Pisan (1363-1430), Le livre des fais et bonnes meurs du sage roy Charles V, ont été prises comme base dans cette étude. Les deux auteurs pour avoir eu vécu et servi dans la cour du référé monarque, ils ont fait l'usage de leurs expériences et de l'héritage ancien et chrétien pour mettre en relief le rôle des rois dans la conduite du royaume et pour tracer les voies pour les pratiques politiques / Mestre

Colonial adolescence: a study of the Maritime colonies of British North America, 1790-1814Whiteside, Margaret Susan January 1965 (has links)
The original intention of this thesis was to study the opinions and activities of the Maritime colonies during the War of 1812, in an attempt to explain the colonies' almost neutral position throughout the hostilities. The Maritime attitude has already been explained in terms of economic ties binding the colonies' interests with those of New England. This thesis was therefore directed by a desire to ascertain whether or not such economic interests constituted the dominating influence in Maritime policy or whether there existed equally important influences of a political and social nature. The conclusion attributes Maritime reaction in 1812 to a combination of economic, political, and social factors shaping the colonies' activities during the preceding twenty years. In the course of defining these factors, however, the emphasis shifted from the war itself to the preceding two decades which emerged as a period of experiment and adjustment—a period of confused adolescent fumbling toward the larger powers and responsibilities of adulthood. Into the midst of these struggles the War of 1812 was projected, to be greeted by the Maritimers as an interruption meriting attention only in so far as it could contribute to their provincial interests. In this thesis, therefore, the War of 1812 is presented as but the epilogue illustrating the trend of Maritime interests and policy during the period 1790-1810.
It is not the intention of this thesis to view Maritime history strictly in terms of a cyclical development paralleling the human life cycle. However, the contradictory character of the Maritime scene during this period, as the colonies see-sawed between dependency and self-sufficiency in their claims, resembles the confusion of adolescence and the title of Colonial Adolescence was chosen for lack of a better description of this transitional phase. In the study of the Maritime colonies' transitional struggles, this thesis seeks to illustrate how the social-economic complex of a community moulds and is reflected in its political life.
Although the period 1790-1814 was one of isolation and individualism for the colonies, the majority of Maritime communities faced similar problems in their struggles for stability and identity. Geography had rendered them an economic unit; the British administration had endowed them with similar political organizations; and settlement had produced similar social problems. This thesis, therefore, treats its subject in terms of basic economic, political, and social situations as they were faced in the Maritimes, with whatever variations each colony might offer. The three chapters dealing with these situations constitute the core of the thesis. In the first chapter an attempt has been made to set the scene of British politics and administration, for it was in this context that the colonies pursued their objectives influenced at all times by the changing fortunes of British politics. The study throughout tends to concentrate upon the mainland colonies of Nava Scotia and New Brunswick, partly because the developments of this period were centered here, since Prince Edward Island remained a backward variant; and partly because the nature of sources dictated such an approach.
Research was concentrated mainly upon the Colonial Office records pertaining to Maritime affairs during this period. These included the official correspondence passing between the Colonial Office and the colonial governors, in which the policy of the British administration and its colonial deputies is outlined and colonial reaction commented upon. Also included were the journals of Assembly and Council, shipping statistics, petitions and memorials from individuals and associations in the colonies reflecting something of colonial opinion, needs and activities. These records were supplemented by secondary sources, drawn upon for an outline of British and North American activities and policies; to a more limited extent colonial newspapers and private papers provided contemporary comment on the Maritime scene—but the Maritimers do not emerge from these researches as an articulate lot. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

Texas Cowboy as Myth: Visual Representations from the Late Twentieth CenturySeaton, Melynda 08 1900 (has links)
The working cowboy remains part of the contemporary culture of Texas. A visual record of him appeared early in the state's history, in daguerreotypes, followed by representations in contemporary black and white as well as color photographs, film and video. Although the way of life for the Texas cowboy has changed, it remains a thriving part of the Texas economy, society, and culture. Moreover, the image of the cowboy has permeated popular culture and fine art. This paper explores what late twentieth century popular culture and fine art images of the cowboy signify, emphasizing aspects of how they signify in relation to an existing tradition of photographic representations. Using Barthes' "Myth Today," it considers how the documentary aspect of early photographic representations of cowboys is transformed in contemporary popular culture and fine art to become mythology, for example, by the exaggeration of features of dress to connote ideals allegorically.

Lámání hesel pomocí algoritmu PRINCE v systému Fitcrack / Password Cracking Using PRINCE Algorithm and Fitcrack SystemBolvanský, Dávid January 2020 (has links)
The PRINCE algorithm is a faster and more advanced version of a combination attack. Non-distributed password breaking often encounters its limits, and its applicability to real tasks decreases due to the increasing demand for computing resources of the device. The aim of this work is to design a distributed version of the the PRINCE attack as an extension of Fitcrack system, which focuses on distributed password cracking. The proposed design is implemented and integrated into the Fitcrack system. The work examines the PRINCE attack on a set of experiments, which examines the impact of various configuration options. Part of the experimental part is a comparison of the PRINCE attack with the dictionary and combination attack. The purpose of the comparison is to find cases where the PRINCE attack is better than other attacks. Finally, the integrated PRINCE attack solution in the Fitcrack system is compared with the solution implemented in the Hashtopolis system.

The Happy Prince : A Paradoxical Aesthetic Tale and a Dual Critique of Victorian TimesCaizergues, Quentin January 2020 (has links)
This essay highlights The Happy Prince’s advantageous use of conventions of the fairy tale genre to stress critical issues of the Victorian period: the challenge of the established Christian socio-moral order, the rising of the bourgeois industrial society, and the advent of aestheticism as a response. Using the close reading technique supported by the Victorian socio-historical background, the analysis establishes that the criticism proceeds by double associations. Firstly, the clear structure of the tale, enriched by a plethora of aesthetical features and suitable narrative processes, is propitious for children’s access to a message calling for more human generosity. Meanwhile, subtle analogies to the Christian imagery appear blurred by paradoxical elements. This prevents a definite religious interpretation from adults to which those messages are intended. Secondly, in connection with aestheticism, a social and moral criticism takes the form of a satire of the utilitarian vision of the bourgeoisie and a questioning of the common Victorian beliefs: the link between beauty and moral integrity, as well as the moral code of femininity. Finally, the utilitarian discourse and the disapproval of the research for pleasure from beauty merging with a hedonist vision, advocate an “art for art’s sake” free of these respective considerations.

The Influence of Machiavelli on Francis Bacon: A Critical ExaminationFerguson, Blanche E. 01 January 1944 (has links)
The association of the name of Francis Bacon with that of Niccolo Machiavelli is no novelty to the modern reader. But in most instances this association is brief and fleeting, possessed of a will-o'-the-wisp character that is at once unsatisfying and challenging. The natural conclusion to which one is tempted to leap is that Bacon, since he is the more recent in point of time, was influenced by the great Florentine in matters of philosophy and style. A second possibility is that both men were influenced by similar conditions of political and cultural backgrounds. A still further consideration lies in the belief that certain ideas are "in the air", so to speak, and descend upon different minds in various times and places without implying any necessity of relationship.
It seems advisable to study the two men and their works in the light of these three possibilities. It is not the purpose of this thesis to assert the influence of Machiavelli upon Bacon's philosophy as a whole. This study is rather an attempt to bring together in comparative consideration the personalities and philosophies of two outstanding minds of their respective ages, and to draw such conclusions as seem logical. To this end I propose to examine the theories of Machiavelli set forth in The Prince and the Discourses on Livy, and from this background to view Bacon's philosophy relating to civil business as set forth in his Essays, especially "Of Truth," and "Of Great Place," and in the Advancement of Learning.
I have here used the term, philosophy, to refer to the principles of human conduct by which Bacon's life was governed, rather than in a metaphysical sense.
