This study examines the interaction of the Second World War with the selfhood of Kenneth Preston, a Keighley schoolmaster, using primarily the exceptionally rich content of Preston’s Diary, maintained 1941-1945. In tracing Preston’s home front experience, attention is given to the ways in which the war interacted with the individual’s own self and social conceptions, as well as ways in which subjective experiences and perceptions translated into objective realities, such as in Preston’s participation in the war effort. Illuminating the personal dimensions of the war experience enabled a broad range of meanings and “webs of significance” to emerge, allowing for examination of the interplay between the conflict and understandings of class, community, gender, citizenship, social mores, and aspects of social change during the conflict. Preston’s understandings of himself and of society are intriguing contributions to the discussion surrounding active wartime citizenship, and further historical awareness of the meanings and understandings held within the British population during the era of the Second World War. In particular, the prestige the war offered to modernistic notions of science and technical intelligence is shown to have held a central place in the war experience of this particular individual and in his perception of the rise of the welfare state. With its focus on selfhood, the study is distinguished from arguments grounded in analysis of cultural products from the era; it also contributes to understandings of the causes and implications of social change, as well as the war’s personal impact on the male civilian.

Robert Frost’s legendary description of “the sound of sense” to define his poetics has for decades sounded like little more than common sense. His idea is now taken to be fairly straightforward: the inflections of an utterance resulting from the tension between demotic speech and poetic form indicate its purport. However, our accepted notion of Frost’s formulation as simply the marriage of form and meaning misconstrues what is potentially revolutionary in it: if everyday speech and verse form generate tension, then Frost has described a method for mediating between reality, represented by speech, and art, represented by verse form. The merger is not passive: the sound of sense occurs when Frost “drag[s] and break[s] the intonation across the metre.” And yet Frost places speech and verse form in a working relationship. It is the argument of this dissertation that poets reckon with what is often understood as discord between poetry and reality by putting into correspondence forms of speech and the forms of poetry. The poets I examine–Seamus Heaney, Gwendolyn Brooks, Tony Harrison, and Lucille Clifton–are concerned with their positions in local communities that range from the family unit to ethnic, religious, racial, economic, and sexual groups, and they marshal forms of speech in poetic form to speak from those locales and to counter the drag and break of those located social and political realities. They utilize what I call their “local languages”–the speech of their particular communities that situates them geographically in local contexts and politically in social constructs–in various ways: they employ them as raw material; they thematize them; they invent idiosyncratic “local” languages to undermine expectations about the communities that speak those languages; they devise generalized languages out of standard and nonstandard constructions to speak not just to and from specific locations but to speak more broadly about human experience. How, these poets ask, can poetry respond to atrocities, deprivations, divisions, and disturbances without becoming programmatic or propagandistic and without reinforcing false preconceptions about the kinds of language suitable for poetry? They answer that question with the living speech of their immediate worlds.

Em 1980 é publicada no Porto a revista Nova Renascença, um periódico de publicação trimestral que terá duração até o ano de 1999. Um dos principais objetivos da revista, continuamente exposto em seus editoriais e manifestos, bem como em alguns de seus textos de crítica literária, estava em reelaborar uma identidade nacional, que aliando tradição e modernidade, fez da língua portuguesa sua expressão mítica. Sabemos que os mitos em suas narrativas simbólicas configuram diversos tipos de saberes e de usos, dos mais criativos aos mais retóricos, tornando-se, sempre, uma expressão perigosa. Partindo, portanto, desse pressuposto, buscamos, neste trabalho, apresentar alguns dos diferentes sentidos que a proposta mitopoética da língua e da Pátria assumem na revista, sempre tendo como horizonte o contexto sócio-histórico do atual debate sobre o retorno do mito e a pós-modernidade. / In 1980, the Nova Renascença magazine was first published, in Portos city, lasting untill 1999. One of its main goals, continuously displayed in its editorials and manifestos, as well as in some of its texts of literary critics, was to re-elaborate Portugals identity, which by uniting tradition and modernity, made, out of the Portuguese language, its mythical expression. We know that myths while expressed in symbolical terms serve different functions and uses, from most creatives to most rhetorical, becoming always a dangerous expression. Taking, therefore, from this assumption, we seek, in this work, to present some of the different meanings that the mythic-poetic proposal of the language and the Nation assume in the magazine, having always its global context, in which occurs the actual debate between the return of the myth and post-modernity, as horizon.

Brandão é autor de uma obra literária de múltiplas virtualidades estéticas que lhe conferem uma modernidade singular. Daí a dificuldade de classificar esteticamente a obra desse autor. As várias perspectivas possíveis parecem, entretanto, marcadas por um denominador comum que, segundo a nossa hipótese, agrega em si, predominantemente, elementos estéticos próprios do Expressionismo. A produção dramatúrgica desse autor, pouco extensa e até hoje insuficientemente conhecida nos meios universitários brasileiros, revela-se, como pretendemos demonstrar pela análise textual, um dos mais distintos produtos do Expressionismo no teatro lusitano. / With the purpose of deepening the realized work as Scientific Initiation with a scholarship conceded by FAPESP, this Mastership’s research project proposes a critic reading of the dramatic piece Gebo and The Shadow (1923), written by the Portuguese author Raul Brandão (1867-1930), considering the study about modern Portuguese theater. Brandão is the author of a literary work of multiple esthetical virtualities that grant him a singular modernity. For this reason, there’s a difficulty to classify aesthetically the author’s oeuvre. The many possible perspectives seem, however, to be marked by a common denominator that, according to our hypothesis, aggregates to itself, predominantly, peculiar esthetical elements of Expressionism. The dramaturgical production of this author, which isn’t extensive, is, until today, insufficiently known at Brazilian university milieu, and reveals itself, as we intend to demonstrate by textual analysis, one of the most distinct products of Portuguese expressionist theater.

A tectônica surgiu na Alemanha em meados do século XIX por meio dos escritos de Karl Otfried Müller, Karl Bötticher e Gottfried Semper e foi resgatada na década de 1990 por autores como Kenneth Frampton, Gevork Hartoonian, Edward Ford e Andrea Deplazes. A intenção da teoria da tectônica é de estreitar as relações entre a cultura de construção e o discurso arquitetônico, pois ela considera a mão de obra como um meio de resgate à técnica, ao artesanal e ao táctil, numa clara referência poética à tradição de construir como meio de expressão. Essa tese tem a finalidade de utilizar a teoria da tectônica para entender o processo de concepção dos arquitetos modernos brasileiros enfocando-se no período do pós-guerra até fins da década de 1980. O trabalho pretende, primeiramente, se aprofundar nas diversas facetas da teoria, entendendo seus conceitos básicos, para num segundo momento elaborar um método de análise tectônico, aqui denominado 'abordagem tectônica' que, com base na teoria, poderá ser utilizado num terceiro momento para analisar alguns estudos de caso. Com base nos conceitos empregados pelos teóricos da tectônica, essa 'abordagem tectônica' está subdividida num tripé que questões que contempla: a concepção, que lida com assuntos subjetivos relacionados à composição, seja abstrata ou de herança; a materialidade, que lida com os materiais, sua aplicação e seu diálogo para com a composição; e a técnica, que lida com a maneira com que as edificações são erigidas. Atrelados ao tripé estão os principais conceitos utilizados pelos teóricos da tectônica desde o século XIX até a contemporaneidade, e graças a ele será possível sistematizar a teoria para aplicá-la na contemporaneidade. A partir da 'abordagem tectônica' será feita uma análise da tectônica na produção internacional, para num segundo momento aprofundar-se na realidade nacional, e, por fim, analisar três estudos de caso (arquitetos) para uma amostragem mais profunda. Tais arquitetos foram selecionados por se formarem na FNA - Faculdade Nacional de Arquitetura no mesmo intervalo de tempo e trabalhar com temas bastante distintos que podem ampliar o processo de compreensão da tectônica do período, são eles: Acácio Gil Borsoi (1924-2009), que trabalhou o detalhe como amálgama do processo criativo; Severiano Porto (1930+), que lançou mão de técnicas ímpares de marcenaria conforme as necessidades da floresta; e João Filgueiras Lima, o Lelé (1932-2014), que explorou os pré-moldados como elemento de forte valor compositivo. Por fim, o estudo desses três arquitetos a partir da teoria procura demonstrar como a tectônica pode ser aplicada encontrando aspectos majoritários na obra de cada um. Esses aspectos podem ser vistos como domínios que podem auxiliar no entendimento mais macro de uma tectônica brasileira. Essa análise estimulará um novo entendimento sobre o processo de concepção arquitetônico enfocando a teoria da tectônica, que ainda é tão pouco estudada no cenário nacional. Sendo assim, essa tese poderá nos prover um novo olhar sobre a expressão arquitetônica ainda inédita no cenário atual. / There are many ways to understand architecture, and one of them is trough the tectonic theory. The tectonic theory arises in Germany in the middle of the nineteenth century through the writings of Karl Otfried Müller, Karl Bötticher and Gottfried Semper, and has been redeemed in the 1990s by Kenneth Frampton, Gevork Hartoonian, Edward Ford, Andrea Deplazes. The intention of tectonic is to approximate the relations between the culture of construction and architectural discourse, because the theory considers labor as a mean to rescue the technique, the craft and the tactile, in a reference to the poetic tradition of construction as a mean of expression. This thesis aims to apply the tectonic theory to understand the design process of modern Brazilian architects, focusing on the period between the late 1950s and the early 1980s. The work aims, first, to dive into the various facets of the theory, understanding its basic concepts, and second, to elaborate a method of tectonic analysis, here called 'tectonic approach', which may be used in a third moment to analyze several case studies. Based on the theoretical concepts, this 'tectonic approach' can be divided in an issues tripod relating to: conception, dealing with subjective matters related to composition, whether abstract or inheritance; materiality, which handles the materials, their application and to dialogue with the composition; and technical, which deals with the way the buildings are erected. The concepts used by the theorists are linked to the tripod, and thanks to it, it will be possible to systematize this theory to apply it nowadays. With the 'tectonic approach' we will made a tectonic analysis of the international production, and in a second moment we will apply it to the national reality, and finally, we will analyze three case studies (of architects) for a deeper analysis. These architects were selected because they graduate from FNA - National School of Architecture, in the same period, and worked with different themes that can enhance the understanding of the tectonic process, they are: Acácio Gil Borsoi (1924-2009), who worked with the architectural detail as an amalgam of the creative process; Severiano Porto (1930+), who made use of unique techniques of woodwork thought the needs of the Amazon region; and João Filgueiras Lima, the Lelé (1932-2014), which explored solutions of precast as strong compositional value elements. Finally, the study of these three architects in the scope of the theory seeks to demonstrate how the tectonic can be applied to the main aspects of the work of each. These aspects can be seen as dominions that can help the understanding of the brazilian tectonic in a macro way. This analysis will stimulate a new understanding of the architectural design process, focusing on the tectonic theory, which still so unexplored on the national scene. Thus, this thesis can provide us a brand new way to look at the architectural expression.

Hence, the considered period of the artistic production starts in 1820 and ends in 1940. In spite of not including a secular historical study, this work deals with the biographies of the artists and their art works. Regarding the religious iconographic representations, only those that are relevant to the role of saint makers, related to the considered period, are analyzed. Basically, the text discuss the saint makers role as creators of either original or non-original art works that represent not only their own subjectiveness but also the collective spirit of their time. In addition, the aim is to determine the relations between history and art history in terms of saint makers art and to understand the language associated to the images and their potential for the comparative analyses of the works. Initially, the objective was to develop a comparative study between the works by Veiga Valle and his son Henrique Ernesto da Veiga Jardim (1849-1933). However, the conducted research revealed other saint makers from the state of Goiás that deserve recognition as well. Hence, the goal was slightly modified into the discoveries of their works, their location and the authorship corroborating documents. In the cities of Goiás, Pirenópolis, Goiânia, Jaraguá and Cuiabá, the empirical research and interviews were developed based on the methodology of the oral history. Among the most relevant saint makers from the state of Goiás, one can mention Antonio de Sá (1879- 1905) and Francisco Ignácio da Luz (1821-1878), both from the city of Pirenópolis, Henrique Ernesto Veiga Jardim and Sebastião da Silva Jesus, this one known as Sebastião Epifânio (1869-1937) from the city of Vilas Boas. In order to understand the sacred art in Goiás, it is important to define a group of images for the iconographic study, namely, the sculptures of God Boy, that were chosen not only due to their presence during religious celebrations, but also because they were made in significant numbers by Veiga Valle and the other studied saint makers. Only Francisco Ignácio has never carved or even there is no sign about such event. The aim of this research is to focus on some concepts related to the art history and to demonstrate the interpretation about the found discoveries, once the history itself shows distinct versions and seeks an approximation with the truth, the verisimilitude. Through the collection of documents and iconographic analysis, the research was conducted towards to reveal anonymous saint makers, to valorize their art works, a heritage of the cultural patrimony from the state of Goiás. Additionally, these sacred art works have great devotional meaning and nowadays they are also considered as artistic objects. Most of these works can be found in either private collections or even are exposed in museums and churches. / Nesta dissertação, intitulada “A imaginária religiosa de Goiás: o reconhecimento de Veiga Valle e o anonimato dos santeiros goianos (1820-1940)”, procuro divulgar os resultados da pesquisa de campo e bibliográfica sobre os santeiros goianos que ficaram à sombra de José Joaquim da Veiga Valle (1806-1874) no século XIX e início do século XX. O período dessa produção artística abrange de 1820 a 1940. Não apresento, contudo, um estudo histórico secular, e sim a biografia dos artistas e suas obras. O que pretendo é, por meio das fontes e imagens, analisar as representações iconográficas religiosas desse tempo histórico, no qual se destaca o papel dos artistas santeiros responsáveis por sua produção, interpretando-os como artistas criadores, originais ou não, que representaram a sua subjetividade ou o espírito da coletividade da época. Busco estabelecer as relações entre história e história da arte no que se refere à arte santeira e entendo ser necessária uma compreensão da linguagem imagética e seu potencial de leitura para uma análise comparativa entre as obras. O objetivo, a princípio, era realizar um estudo comparativo entre as obras de Veiga Valle e de seu filho Henrique Ernesto da Veiga Jardim (1849-1933). No entanto, no decorrer da pesquisa, descobri que havia outros santeiros goianos que mereciam ser reconhecidos, isto é, sair de sua condição de quase anonimato. O intuito passou a ser a descoberta dessas obras, buscar sua localização e algum documento que comprovasse a autoria. Nas cidades de Goiás, Pirenópolis, Goiânia, Jaraguá e Cuiabá, fiz a pesquisa empírica e as entrevistas, para as quais utilizei a metodologia da história oral. Entre os santeiros goianos destacados estão os pirenopolinos Antônio de Sá (1879-1905) e Francisco Ignácio da Luz (1821-1878); os vilaboenses Henrique Ernesto da Veiga Jardim e Sebastião da Silva de Jesus, este conhecido como Sebastião Epifânio (1869-1937). Para entender a imaginária religiosa em Goiás, considero pertinente a definição de um grupo de imagens para o estudo iconográfico: as esculturas do Menino Deus, que foram escolhidas por sua presença nas festas religiosas goianas e por terem sido realizadas, em boa quantidade, por Veiga Valle e, entre os santeiros estudados, somente o padre Francisco Ignácio não o esculpiu ou não se teve notícia a esse respeito. Nesta pesquisa, abordo alguns conceitos relacionados à história e à história da arte e interpreto o que foi encontrado, uma vez que a história apresenta versões e busca uma aproximação com a verdade, uma verossimilhança. Por meio de documentos e análise iconográfica, busco tirar alguns santeiros do anonimato, valorizar a sua arte, herança ao patrimônio cultural goiano, destacar que essa imaginária religiosa possui grande significado devocional e hoje é vista também como objeto artístico. Muitas dessas obras se encontram em acervos particulares ou estão expostas em museus e outras ainda estão em igrejas.
