Variations : influence intertextuality, and Milan Kundera, Jean Rhys, and Tom Stoppard

Bennett, Richard January 1994 (has links)
This thesis is in three chapters. Chapter one is about Harold Bloom's theory of the Anxiety of Influence. Bloom's argument is that literary history is shaped by the anxiety of "strong" poets at their belatedness. I show that he depends upon a subjective interpretation of literary production in order to defend a rigidly traditional canon. / Chapter two deals with theories of intertextuality, principally those of Julia Kristeva and Michael Riffaterre. As alternatives to theories of influence, neither proves satisfactory. Both founder on the contradictory goal to explain all literature, at the expense of recognizing literary diversity. / Chapter three concerns literary variations. These are texts which are deliberately premised on pre-existing texts. I focus on three examples from this class of literary texts which is not satisfactorily dealt with by any of the theories I consider. I pursue a less wide-ranging approach in order to unearth important features of literary variations.

Haunted, religious modernity and reenchantment

Repphun, Eric, n/a January 2009 (has links)
The academic study of religion has for too long laboured under a flawed understanding of the relationship between modernity and religion. Any narrative of the displacement of religion by a universal and secularising modernity fails to recognise the complexity of the historical and cultural realities. While modernity has demonstrably contributed to the erosion of certain forms of religion, there is a growing body of evidence, and new interpretations of existing evidence, which suggest that the interconnections between modernity and religion are far more complex than any simple opposition could account for. Indeed, modernity appears, in certain circumstances, to be capable of producing its own religious effects. This thesis seeks to answer what then becomes a fundamental question: what does it mean for the study of religion if we accept that modernity can generate the religious? New conceptual tools are needed to deal critically with the far-reaching consequences of embracing the true density of modernity. The study of religion can be greatly enhanced by one such concept: reenchantment. However, reenchantment, as an interpretive framework, must be carefully formulated. Reenchantment cannot be properly understood as a reversal of disenchantment, a conception this thesis will be calling thin reenchantment, but as an ongoing dialectic of reenchantment and rationalisation, which this thesis will be calling thick reenchantment. The formulation of a credible and useful concept of reenchantment can in turn be aided by the work of the philosopher and cultural critic Jean Baudrillard. Baudrillard�s work is not itself an expression or example of reenchantment, but it demonstrates a remarkable congruence with the concept of thick reenchantment, as both interrogate dominant understandings of modernity in relationship to differing systems of value. The thesis is divided into two sections. The first, substantially longer, section presents in some detail thick reenchantment as an interpretive frame. Though it does not claim to offer any new evidence, the first chapter outlines the evidential background for the thesis, which adopts the concept of religious modernity, developed by sociologist Danièle Hervieu-Léger, as a way of framing this evidence. The second chapter develops the concept of reenchantment and the typology of thin and thick reenchantment in relation to the foundational work of Max Weber. The third chapter is an analysis and review of the extant multidisciplinary discourse on reenchantment. The fourth chapter, the theoretical core of the thesis, presents an innovative reading of Baudrillard�s considerable body of work. The second section elaborates on a further insight of the first - that text is a necessary element in the study of religious modernity - by offering detailed readings of the work of three contemporary authors - novelists Douglas Coupland and Chuck Palahniuk and filmmaker Tom Tykwer - as instantiations of the sorts of cultural artefacts that the conceptual framework of thick reenchantment means to explore. Though its claims remain conceptual and interpretive rather than evidential, normative, or explanatory, this thesis, interdisciplinary as it is, is intended as a contribution to a number of related fields, from the study of contemporary literature and film to the exploration of Baudrillard�s work, which the study of religion has to date largely neglected, to its detriment However, its primary purpose is to suggest new and fruitful ways to approach the study of religion in modernity.

Avaliação de riscos para LER/DORT em empresa metalúrgica : uma experiência de utilização do índice TOR-TOM e protocolo Rodgers de avaliação de posturas

Souza Filho, Geraldo de Azevedo e January 2006 (has links)
O presente estudo buscou identificar fatores de risco para LER/DORT em uma linha de montagem de uma empresa metalúrgica. Foram utilizados o Índice TOR-TOM – indicador ergonômico da eficácia de pausas e outros mecanismos de regulação (COUTO, 2006) e um protocolo de avaliação postural (RODGERS, 1992). Os resultados apontam a necessidade de intervenção imediata para a proteção da saúde dos trabalhadores. O Índice TOR-TOM foi elevado para os dois operadores de solda-ponto e para os dois operadores de prensas, todos com queixas de dor/desconforto/fadiga, o que foi compatível com as queixas relatadas pelos trabalhadores. O protocolo de Rodgers foi mais sensível para identificar a necessidade de adequação de postura para um dos trabalhadores afastado do trabalho por apresentar LER/DORT. A utilização concomitante das duas ferramentas se mostrou mais efetiva para identificar os fatores de risco do que qualquer uma delas isoladamente. / The study analyses the risk factors for CTD/WRMSD in an assembly line, in a metallurgic company, using the TOR-TOM index – an ergonomic indicator of the effectiveness of pauses and other mechanisms of regulation had been used (COUTO, 2006) and a protocol of postural evaluation (RODGERS, 1992). The results showed that an intervention is necessary to protect the worker’s health. The TOR-TOM index was high for two spot welders and for two press operators. All workers presented pain/discomfort/fatigue. The protocol of Rodgers was more sensible to identify the necessity of adequacy of position for one of the workers moved away from the work for presenting LER/DORT. The concomitant use of the two tools if showed more effective to identify the risk factors than any one of them separately.

Por uma ética antiespecista: o lugar dos animais não humanos na filosofia moral de Tom Regan / For an anti speciesiest ethics: the place of non-human animals in the moral philosophy of Tom Regan

It points out the fact that animal issues are related to human beings as well. Therefore, this dissertation is an effort to demonstrate that it is wrong to attribute only to human beings the status of holders of moral rights and that it is necessary to conceive an ethical framework grounded on a non-anthropocentric view. Particular attention is devoted here to the contribution of Tom Reagan who asserts animals are subjects of life and possess what is called inherent value, i.e., animals’ lives are not means to accomplish ends external to themselves. These affirmations are grounded on scientific studies of animal consciousness and on ethology. Peter Singer’s defense of the well-being of animals based on the fact that they are sentient beings will be also investigated. The expression rights of animals is not used in the context of this demarche because it relates to the respect humans beings should have to non-human animals without the recognition of them as holders of specific moral rights. The expression animal rights is purported to corroborate the notion that such rights are a reality to be accepted regardless the will of human beings. / Este trabalho pretende mostrar que o debate sobre os Direitos Animais possui relevância filosófica. Ele destaca o fato de que questões concernentes aos animais remetem também ao homem. Trata-se de um esforço para mostrar que restringir aos seres humanos a condição de detentores de direitos morais consiste num equívoco e, portanto, há a necessidade de uma ética não antropocêntrica. O foco principal é a contribuição de Tom Regan, o autor afirma que por serem sencientes, os animais são sujeitos de uma vida e possuem o que ele chama de valor inerente, ou seja, suas vidas têm um valor e fim em si. Tais afirmações são fundamentadas em pesquisas científicas sobre a consciência animal e estudos de etologia. É também objeto desta investigação a abordagem de Peter Singer, que defende o Bem-estarismo animal tendo a senciência como um princípio moral. Ressaltamos ainda que, uma vez que a expressão “direitos dos animais” comumente se refere à concessão de respeito pelos seres humanos aos animais a partir de determinados critérios sem que lhes caibam direitos específicos, a noção de “direitos animais” parte do pressuposto de que possuem direitos e que devemos reconhecê-los a despeito de nossa vontade; tentaremos corroborar a segunda tese.

O drama irlandês tem contribuído muito para o debate e revisionismo sobre a identidade irlandesa e, no século XX, a Revolta da Páscoa em 1916 foi escolhida como contexto por alguns dramaturgos irlandeses pra promover uma reflexão sobre essa questão. Sean O’Casey e Tom Murphy apresentaram versões da Revolta da Páscoa nos palcos do Abbey que abordaram a identidade da mulher irlandesa em um contexto nacionalista. Uma comparação desses dois textos dramáticos revela que, embora os dramaturgos tenham usado estratégias diferentes, ambos reavaliaram a imagem feminina promovida pelo nacionalismo irlandês. / Ireland’s particular national culture has shaped an imaginary conception of identity which has also affected the image of women. Irish drama has contributed significantly to the debate on and revisionism of Irish identity and, in the twentieth century, the Easter Rising in 1916 was chosen by some Irish playwrights as a background to promote reflection on this question. Sean O’Casey and Tom Murphy presented versions of the Easter Rising on the Abbey stage which approached the identity of Irish women in a nationalistic context. A comparison of these two dramatic texts reveals that, although the playwrights used different strategies, they both reassessed the female image promoted by Irish nationalism.

A FUNDAMENTAÇÃO DOS DIREITO DOS ANIMAIS NÃO-HUMANOS SEGUNDO A TEORIA REGANIANA.

Cardoso, Waleska Mendes 03 September 2013 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Desde muito tempo os animais não-humanos foram relegados a um patamar inferior ao dos humanos, sob o pretexto de não possuírem racionalidade e autonomia, ou simplesmente porque o humano via a necessidade de se exaltar. O presente estudo integra o debate sobre a mudança de estatuto dos animais, que passariam a ser considerados sujeitos morais, objetos direto das nossas preocupações morais. O trabalho aborda a possibilidade de atribuição de direitos morais aos animais não-humanos, a partir do estudo da Teoria dos Direitos dos Animais não-humanos desenvolvida por Tom Regan, professor de Filosofia na Universidade da Carolina do Norte. Regan atribui direitos morais aos animais ao buscar os fundamentos destes direitos que são reconhecidos aos seres humanos, porém restritos a estes. A pesquisa pretende discutir a natureza, função e os fundamentos do que chamamos de direitos humanos. Considera-se que estes direitos possuem uma natureza moral, em consonância com as teorias de vários estudiosos, tanto da Filosofia, quanto do Direito. Em seguida, perquire-se sobre os requisitos para ter direitos morais. Concluído o estudo inicial, parte-se para a fundamentação de Tom Regan para os direitos morais básicos e a exposição de seus argumentos para o caso dos direitos dos animais. Na teoria reganiana foi cunhada uma noção que abarca todas as características relevantes como critérios para a posse de proteção moral através de direitos. As características que compõem a noção sujeitos-de-uma-vida, a qual reúne todos os seres que possuem valor inerente, são trabalhadas no último capítulo com base nos argumentos usados por Regan e seus oponentes. Sustenta-se que a Teoria dos Direitos Animais de Tom Regan, em que pese ter algumas limitações, apresenta uma fundamentação apropriada para os direitos morais básicos humanos e animais e é uma teoria que permite levar os animais ao patamar que lhes é próprio, mas que lhes foi sempre negado, aquele de sujeitos de direitos, seres que devem integrar a nossa comunidade moral. É uma teoria adequada também para deslegitimar nossa exploração dos animais em todos os níveis em que ela acontece.
