Em função da amplitude e da complexidade desse tema, fez-se necessário um estudo prévio dos conceitos de nação e identidade, partindo das análises de Ernest Renan, Benedict Anderson, Homi K. Bhabha e Stuart Hall. No que tange à identidade brasileira, cujos estudos também são vastos e complexos, privilegiam-se neste trabalho as figuras do Homem Cordial e do Bestializado, fundamentadas por Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e José Murilo de Carvalho, respectivamente, além da obra do sociólogo Richard Sennett, que debate as relações entre as esferas pública e privada, fundamentais para a leitura crítica aqui desenvolvida. Por fim, busca-se mostrar como a leitura de Tom Zé acerca do Brasil e do brasileiro, presente em suas canções, dialoga com a teoria já existente sobre o assunto ao mesmo tempo em que a ultrapassa, revelando uma leitura própria do Brasil. / This paper´s goal is to analyze some Tom Zé´s songs from which it is intended to show in what way the Brazilian composer represents and interprets the national identity. Due to this theme´s amplitude and complexity, it is necessary a previous study of nation and identity from the analysis of Ernest Renan, Benedict Anderson, Homi K. Bhabha e Stuart Hall. As for the Brazilian identity, whose studies are also vast and complex, the Cordial and Bestial Man´s figures are privileged in this paper, they are grounded by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e José Murilo de Carvalho, respectively, besides the sociologist Richard Sennett´s work that debates the relations between public and private spheres, fundamental for the critical reading developed here. Lastly, it is searched to show how Tom Zé´s reading about Brazil and Brazilians, present in his songs, dialogs with the existing theory about the subject at the same time that surpasses it, revealing an own reading of Brazil.

L’œuvre dramatique de Tom Stoppard est souvent considérée comme caractéristique du postmoderne. Les techniques d’écriture qui régissent le texte théâtral de Stoppard, étudiés dans cette thèse, participent à une véritable mise en scène de l’écriture. Ils sont aussi, selon nous, un moyen de détourner et parodier les codes du postmoderne. Collages, fragments et réécriture, caractéristiques de l’œuvre de Stoppard, traduisent aussi une vision patrimoniale de la littérature, et permettent une approche originale et critique du postmodernisme, renouvelant ainsi le discours sur le moderne. La présente étude se propose tout d’abord de montrer comment, à travers les références aux œuvres picturales de Magritte et Duchamp, Stoppard met en scène le signe. Puis, elle cherche à mettre en évidence la manière dont Stoppard utilise le collage et l’emprunt musical pour construire et structurer certaines de ses pièces. Elle envisage enfin le collage comme l’expression d’une herméneutique littéraire et philosophique, en examinant notamment l’influence de l’écriture de James Joyce sur le processus scripturaire du dramaturge. Le théâtre, seule forme d’expression artistique qui peut emprunter à tous les autres arts (Beaux-Arts, musique et littérature), est le lieu idéal où se déploient le foisonnement, la complexité et la richesse de l’écriture de Stoppard. Mais l’utilisation de citations et de fragments n’implique pas la fragmentation du sens : le théâtre de Stoppard, loin d’être l’expression d’une vision détachée du monde, propose aussi une véritable réflexion ontologique et politique sur notre société. / Tom Stoppard’s plays have often been viewed as the epitome of the postmodern. The writing techniques which inform Stoppard’s dramatic texts and which are studied in the present thesis play an essential part in the way in which the playwright stages his own writing process. This study also postulates that those techniques stand as a means of subverting and parodying the codes of the postmodern. The collages, fragments and rewriting which inform Stoppard’s works, reflect a patrimonial conception of literature and allow for an original approach and critique of postmodernism thus renewing the discourse on the modern. While considering the various references to the works of Magritte and Duchamp, the present study seeks to unveil the way in which Stoppard stages the sign. It will then shed light on the way in which Stoppard uses musical collages and quotations, which dot the playwright’s work, to shape and construct some of his plays. Finally, this dissertation will envisage collage as the expression of literary and philosophical hermeneutics as it examines James Joyce’s crucial influence on the playwright’s writing technique. Theatre stands probably as the only form of art which can borrow from all the other forms of art (painting, sculpture, music and literature). As such, it is the ideal locus for Stoppard’s subtle and complex writing techniques to proliferate. However, using quotations and fragments does not necessarily imply a fragmentation of meaning. Far from conveying a detached view of the world, Stoppard’s dramatic works provide the audience with an ontological and political thought-provoking view on our contemporary society.

This work concerns the construction of Calabi-Yau threefolds in codimension 4. Based on a study of Hilbert series, we give a list of families of Calabi-Yau threefolds which may exist in codimension 3 and codimension 4. Using birational methods, we construct Calabi-Yau threefolds that realize several of the listed families. The main result is that the cases we consider in codimension 4 lie in two different deformation components.

Radio drama developed as a genre as new media proliferated and challenged the cultural primacy of print. The methods of production and distribution and the literary genres that developed during the age of print provided models for radio playwrights to follow but also cultural forces for them to challenge. This dissertation considers these dual influences of print on the radio drama of four playwrights: Orson Welles, Dylan Thomas, Samuel Beckett, and Tom Stoppard. Each playwright “remediates” the printed page in radio plays by adapting or evoking the form of various literary texts, including novels (Welles), travel writing (Thomas), diaries and transcribed speech (Beckett), and historical writing (Stoppard). By representing written texts in an electronic, primarily oral medium, these authors examined the status of literary expression in an age of ascendant electronic media. Welles’s The War of the Worlds and Huckleberry Finn, Thomas’s Under Milk Wood and other broadcasts, Beckett’s Rough for Radio II and Embers, and Stoppard’s In the Native State highlight defining features of the print tradition and reveal how practices of writing and “reading” changed in the radio environment. These plays suggest that radio prompted writers to reconsider the literary author’s creative role, the text’s stability, and the audience’s interaction with the work. “Radio Texts” ultimately argues, therefore, that radio drama’s significance transcends its place in media history and dramatic criticism; the works I examine also point to radio plays’ important role in authors’ re-evaluation of literary expression in a changing twentieth-century media ecology. / text

Fundamentado principalmente nos tratados da Summa contra gentiles, Summa theologiae, Super Boetium de Trinitate e Compendium theologiae, analisaremos a busca da beatitude humana pela contempla??o do objeto supremo, Deus, origem, raz?o e fim ?ltimo das criaturas. De acordo com esse itiner?rio, defenderemos a tese de que ? imposs?vel nesta vida alcan?ar a beatitude perfeita pela contempla??o da ess?ncia divina. S? ? poss?vel conhecer, seja por meio da raz?o natural seja pela revela??o, os efeitos de Deus, almejando somente uma beatitude imperfeita, ficando a perfeita para a outra vida. Diante disso, estruturamos o texto em tr?s cap?tulos. No primeiro, abordaremos a s?ntese filos?fico-teol?gica, inserindo a busca pela beatitude no contexto da filosofia do ser, porque o ser, Deus, sustenta toda a estrutura do edif?cio tomista. Depois, sobre os pressupostos da filosofia moral e a natureza da alma intelectiva. No segundo, sobre os fundamentos da beatitude imperfeita, seguindo a divis?o da vida humana em ativa e contemplativa. Por meio desta, pela virtude da sabedoria, o Aquinate procura elevar a alma intelectiva do s?bio ? verdade mais intelig?vel, transcendente e eterna, Deus. No terceiro, analisaremos as possibilidades e os limites contemplativos de Deus nesta vida, iniciando a reflex?o sobre os atributos de Deus oriundos pelo conhecimento dos efeitos sens?veis, ou seja, a posteriori. Ap?s isso, adentraremos nas propriedades espec?ficas da contempla??o da ess?ncia divina, apresentando os argumentos decisivos de Tom?s de Aquino para justificar a impossibilidade da beatitude perfeita neste mundo.

Since the damming and channelization of the lower Long Tom River in the 1940s and 1950s, the quality and quantity of habitat for coastal cutthroat trout and spring Chinook salmon in the watershed has dramatically diminished. In order to better understand the potential for stream restoration, this study uses 2D hydraulic modeling to determine the impact of reconnecting historical meander bends to the main stem of the lower Long Tom River on localized flooding, sediment erosion and deposition, and salmonid physical habitat. These models compare the current conditions to two restoration scenarios that allow for fish passage given 1, 2, and 5-year flood events at two study sites. This study reveals important variations in the impact of restoration between the study sites and the reconnection methods. It also suggests that there is the potential for a large increase in the area of accessible habitat with stream restoration.

La maladie de Parkinson (MP) est caractérisée par une dégénérescence des neurones dopaminergiques de la substance noire. Elle est le plus souvent sporadique mais des formes familiales monogéniques existent, notamment dues à des mutations de PARK2 et de PINK1. Ces gènes codent pour l'ubiquitine-protéine ligase cytosolique Parkine et la sérine/thréonine kinase mitochondriale PINK1, deux acteurs majeurs du contrôle de qualité mitochondrial. Ce travail étudie le rôle de leur interaction au niveau de la membrane mitochondriale externe dans la régulation de l'homéostasie mitochondriale.Nous avons montré que l'association de PINK1 et Parkine au complexe d'import mitochondrial TOM lors d'un stress mitochondrial permet l'import de la grande majorité des protéines adressées à la mitochondrie ; que déstabiliser ce complexe suffit à initier la mitophagie ; et que l'activation de Parkine par PINK1 facilite l'import de son substrat HSD17?10. Nous avons développé un biosenseur moléculaire inductible, permettant d'étudier la voie d'import classique des protéines à pré-séquence. Nous avons également montré, dans un modèle neuronal, qu'un stress mitochondrial, en présence de Parkine, induit une forte augmentation de l'expression de gènes clés de la biogenèse mitochondriale ; et que ces gènes sont up-régulés de façon basale dans les neurones PARK2-/-, indiquant une possible altération de la réponse aigüe au stress.Ces résultats approfondissent notre connaissance de la physiopathologie des formes autosomiques récessives de MP en soulignant l'importance de la voie PINK1/Parkine dans l'import et la biogenèse mitochondriaux. / Parkinson’s disease (PD) is linked to a specific loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substancia nigra. The disease is most often sporadic but familial monogenic forms exist, for example due to mutations in PARK2 or PINK1. Those genes encore the cytosolic ubiquitin-protein ligase Parkin and the mitochondrial serine/threonine kinase PINK1, both essential for mitochondrial quality control. This work studies the role of their interaction at the outer mitochondrial membrane in the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis. We found that the association of PINK1 and Parkin to the mitochondrial import TOM complex during mitochondrial stress induces the import of most proteins targeted to mitochondria; that destabilizing this complex is sufficient to initiate mitophagy; and that Parkin activation by PINK1 facilitates the import of its substrate, HSD17β10. We developed an inducible BRET-based molecular biosensor to study the classical pre-sequence import pathway. We also found, in a neuronal model, that mitochondrial stress induced a strong increase in the expression of mitochondrial biogenesis key genes, in the presence of Parkin; and that these genes are basally up-regulated in PARK2-/- neurons, possibly reflecting an alteration of acute stress response. These results increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of autosomal recessive forms of PD, underlining the importance of the PINK1/Parkin pathway in mitochondrial import and biogenesis.

The parallels between the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and Henry Fielding are very striking. Both authors produced some of the greatest works in English literature, yet very little scholarly investigation has been done regarding these two in relationship with one another. In this work I explore the characters of Chaucer’s Parson and Parson Adams, assessing their strengths and weaknesses through pastoral guides by Gregory the Great and George Herbert, while drawing additional conclusions from John Dryden. I examine the episodic, theatrical nature of both authors’ works, along with the inclusion of fabliau throughout. Finally, I look at the shared motif of knight-errant in the works of both authors and the motion employed throughout the tales as travel narratives. By examining these authors’ works, I contend that Fielding masterfully employs many of Chaucer’s literary techniques in his own tales, crafting them to work specifically for the eighteenth-century novel and its audience.
