The Dissemination of Ideologies: Tom Brown’s School Days and the Harry Potter Series as Moral and Social Pedagogy

Carmichael, V. A. 03 January 2020 (has links)
This thesis compares J. K. Rowling’s contemporary Harry Potter series (1997-2007) with Thomas Hughes’s Victorian school story, Tom Brown’s School Days (1857), in order to identify how Rowling and Hughes use British public school literature as a means for the widespread dissemination of moral pedagogy. Given the disparate time frames and political outlooks, Rowling and Hughes teach dissimilar ideologies in different socio-historical contexts. However, both stories reveal the necessity of the schoolmaster’s teaching methods to form morally responsible school leaders, demonstrate the titular character ‘chosen’ as a moral leader, and exemplify the use of organized sports as a method of moral and social instruction. In sum, my thesis presents a comparison of the narratives by Rowling and Hughes as an acknowledgement of the continuing influence of Hughes’s work on modern literature and the employment of children’s literature for the advancement of moral and socio-ideological themes.

Chaloupka strýčka Toma od 2. poloviny českého 20. století: překlad E. a E. Tilschových z roku 1957 / What Czech character has Uncle Tom's Cabin by H. B. Stowe acquired since the 2nd half of the 20th century?: E. and E. Tilsch's translation of 1957

Bulínová, Eva January 2015 (has links)
The thesis focuses on the Czech translation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Unce Tom's Cabin, or Life Among the Lowly (1957) by Emanuela Tilschová and Emanuel Tilsch. The translation was aimed at children; therefore the specifics of children's literature and of the translation thereof will be described. The thesis will emphasise the role of the Czechoslovak social and cultural context in the given period, i.e. approximately between the year 1948 and the late 1950s. Special attention will be paid to the production of Státní nakladatelství dětské literatury/ State Children's Literature Publishing House. After the examination of the context, the thesis will look at the translation itself and compare it with four selected books published in the same period, the focus being primarily the language of the translations. Finally, selected passages of the translation will be analysed and compared with the relevant parts of the original. The translation will then be assessed in terms of its acceptability or adequacy (Toury, 1995). Key Words: H. B. Stowe, Uncle Tom, Czech translation, cultural situation, historical norms

Saudade do Brasil: Tom Jobim na cena musical brasileira (1963-1976) / Saudade do Brasil: Tom Jobim in the brazilian musical scene (1963/1976)

Poletto, Fabio Guilherme 25 February 2011 (has links)
Este trabalho é um estudo da obra do compositor Antonio Carlos Jobim e suas intersecções com o cenário musical brasileiro no período de 1963/1976. Seu objetivo é mapear as principais características estéticas da música de Jobim e avaliar suas ressonâncias no cenário cultural do país. Para tanto, examina os fonogramas originais gravados, manuscritos de composições, textos originais, entrevistas e avaliações críticas que circularam na imprensa brasileira no período. A análise destas ressonâncias busca o entendimento da formação de um espaço público de debates, cuja arena musical incorporou discussões sobre a modernização do país, da música popular e suas interfaces com a sociedade. Considera as especificidades da produção musical e as tensões resultantes de sua veiculação pela indústria fonográfica. Avalia o papel das instâncias de crítica cultural e de reconhecimento estético da música popular na formação de um cânone da música brasileira. Avalia a ação do Estado autoritário como indutor de projetos modernizantes, políticas culturais e ao mesmo tempo, como executor de práticas de censura. Em um sentido mais profundo, examina as perspectivas históricas que alimentaram a estética de Tom Jobim, suas leituras do processo de modernização brasileira e a sugestão de um ideal de identidade moderna que sua música ambicionou articular. / This is a study of the works of the brazilian composer Tom Jobim and its intersections with brazilian musical scene during the period of 1963/1976. It aims to map the main aesthetic features of Jobims music and to evaluate its resonances in the cultural scene of the country. For this, it examines the original records, manuscripts of compositions, original texts, interviews and critic evaluations that circulated in the brazilian press in that period. The analisis of this resonances seeks the understanding of the formation of a public space of debates, which musical arena incorporated discussions about the modernization of the country, its popular music and its interfaces with society. It considers the specificities of musical production and the resulting tensions of its spread by music industry. It evaluates the role of instances of cultural critic and aesthetic recognition of popular music in the process of formation of the canon of brazilian music. It evaluates the action of an authoritarian national state as prompter of modernizing projects, cultural policies and, at the same time, as executor of censorship practices. In a deeper sense, it examines the historical perspectives that nourished Jobims aesthetic, its interpretations of Brazils modernization proccess and the sugestion of an ideal of modern identity that his music aimed to articulate.

Transformação genética de tomateiro (Solanum lycopersicum cv. \'Micro-Tom\') e de laranja doce (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) com o gene Csd1 (superóxido dismutase do cobre e do zinco), isolado de Poncirus trifoliata / Genetic transformation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. \'Micro-Tom\') and of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) with Csd1 gene (copper/zinc superoxide dismutase), isolated of Poncirus trifoliata

Moraes, Tatiana de Souza 16 October 2015 (has links)
Embora a citricultura seja uma importante atividade econômica no Brasil, nos últimos anos houve uma redução significativa da produção nacional. A baixa rentabilidade que o setor citrícola vem enfrentando, devido ao alto custo de produção, é decorrente principalmente dos problemas fitossanitários, com destaque para as doenças, que afetam diretamente a produtividade dos pomares. Atualmente, o huanglongbing (HLB) é a doença mais grave que afeta a citricultura mundial, sendo que os danos são severos em todas as variedades de citros. Diante desse fato, a transformação genética de plantas é uma alternativa para a obtenção de plantas transgênicas, com genes que estimulem o sistema de defesa das plantas, tornando-as resistentes a doenças. Apesar da eficácia dos protocolos existentes para a transformação genética de citros, uma desvantagem característica de plantas perenes é o ciclo reprodutivo lento, tornando difícil e demorado a validação de novos genes de interesse. Por isso, uma importante estratégia é o uso de plantas modelos, como o tomateiro, que possui ciclo curto e boa eficiência de transformação genética. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi obter plantas transgênicas de Solanum lycopersicum cv. \'Micro-Tom\' e Citrus sinensis, contendo a construção gênica com o gene Csd1 (superóxido dismutase do cobre e do zinco), isolado de Poncirus trifoliata. A proteína codificada pelo gene Csd1, também conhecido como Sod1 (superoxide dismutase 1), é o mais potente antioxidante na natureza e é um importante constituinte de defesa celular contra o estresse oxidativo causado pela infecção bacteriana. O tomateiro Micro-tom foi utilizado como modelo de patogenicidade para validação do gene. Porém, devido a sua baixa eficiência de transformação genética, os experimentos de inoculação com o patógeno não foram realizados. Posteriormente, a caracterização da função do gene Csd1 em relação ao HLB será realizada com as plantas transgênicas de citros. A identificação de plantas transgênicas, de tomate e de laranja doce, foi realizada por meio da análise de PCR, utilizando primers para a detecção do gene Csd1. As plantas PCR+ foram aclimatizadas e transferidas para casa-de-vegetação. A eficiência de transformação genética do tomateiro \'Micro-Tom\' e das cultivares de laranja doce, \'Hamlin\' e \'Pineapple\', foram respectivamente: 0,34%, 4,74% e 3,65%. A caracterização molecular pelas análises de Southern blot e RT-qPCR foi realizada apenas em plantas de citros. Foi possível confirmar a integração do transgene em 32 eventos obtidos. O número de eventos de inserção variou de 1 - 5, sendo a presença do gene endógeno Csd1, localizada em 3 locais distintos no genoma das plantas. O nível de mRNA do transgene foi verificada em 21 plantas que tiveram apenas uma única inserção do transgene no genoma. Os resultados obtidos mostram que houve transcrição do gene Csd1 nas plantas transgênicas, assim como, na testemunha não transgênica. A relação do nível de transcrição do transgene com a resistência das plantas ao patógeno será definida após a inoculação com Candidadus Liberibacter. / Although the citrus industry is an important economic activity in Brazil, in recent years there has been a significant reduction in the national citrus production. The low profitability of the citrus sector has faced due to the high production cost is mainly attributed to phytosanitary problems, particularly diseases that directly affect productivity of orchards. Currently, huanglongbing (HLB) is the most serious disease that affects the global citrus industry and the damage is severe in all citrus varieties. Genetic transformation of plants is an alternative to obtain transgenic plants with genes that stimulate the plant defense system, making it resistant to diseases. Despite the effectiveness of protocols for genetic transformation of citrus, a characteristic disadvantage of perennial plants is the slow reproductive cycle, hindering validation of new genes of interest. Therefore, an important strategy is the use of model plants, such as the tomato, which has a short cycle and good genetic transformation efficiency. The objective of this study was to obtain transgenic plants of Solanum lycopersicum cv. \"Micro-Tom \'and Citrus sinensis, containing the gene construct with Csd1 gene (copper/zinc superoxide dismutase), isolated of Poncirus trifoliata. The protein encoded by the gene Csd1, also known as SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1), is the most powerful antioxidant in nature and is important constituent of cellular defense against oxidative stress caused by bacterial infection. \'Micro-tom\' tomato was used as a model for pathogenic gene validation. However, due to its low efficiency of genetic transformation, the inoculation experiments with the pathogen were not realized. Posteriorly, the characterization of gene function Csd1 in relation to the HLB disease will be realize with citrus transgenic plants. The objective of this study was to obtain transgenic plants of Solanum lycopersicum cv. \'Micro-Tom\' and of Citrus sinensis, containing the gene construction with Csd1 gene (copper/zinc superoxide dismutase), isolated of Poncirus trifoliata, for validation and for future study of this gene for resistance to HLB. Proteins encoded by the Csd1 gene, also known as SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1), are the most powerful antioxidants in nature and are important constituents of cellular defense against oxidative stress caused by bacterial infection. The identification of transgenic plants of tomato and sweet orange was performed by the PCR analysis using primers for the detection of Csd1 gene. The PCR+ plants were acclimatized and transferred to a greenhouse. The genetic transformation efficiency of tomato \'Micro-Tom\' and sweet orange cultivars, \'Hamlin\' and \'Pineapple\', were 0.34%, 4.74% and 3.65%, respectively. The molecular characterization with the Southern blot and RT-qPCR analyses was performed only in citrus plants. The transgene integration was confirmed in 32 plants. The number of insertion events ranged from 1-5 and the presence of Csd1 endogenous gene is found in three distinct locations in the plants genome. The mRNA level of the transgene was verified in 21 plants that had only a single transgene insertion into the plant genome. The results show that there was transcription of Csd1 gene in transgenic plants as well as in non-transgenic plants. The relation between the transgene transcript level with the resistance of plants to pathogens is set after inoculation with Candidadus Liberibacter.
