A implementação da Nomenclatura Gramatical Brasileira (NGB) em 1959 e a assunção da Linguística no Brasil na década de 60 são acontecimentos que provocaram profundas mudanças no fazer gramatical. A NGB, enquanto acontecimento discursivo, ao evidenciar determinados termos e silenciar outros, reestrutura a memória do discurso gramatical brasileiro, regulando a relação do sujeito com o dizível e instaurando uma nova formação discursiva dominante, a qual se sobrepôs às formações discursivas anteriores. No presente trabalho, partimos do pressuposto de que, apesar do efeito da censura imposta pela terminologia oficial, o discurso gramatical produzido após a sua instituição é constitutivamente da ordem do heterogêneo. Assim sendo, com base no aporte teórico da Análise de Discurso de Pêcheux e Orlandi e nos estudos do projeto História das Ideias Linguísticas, investigamos o funcionamento do discurso legitimado pela NGB nas gramáticas cuja publicação a sucederam, mais especificamente em sete gramáticas publicadas entre 1959 e 1969. Interessa-nos, portanto, com vistas a depreender a forma como se materializa a tensão entre os sentidos oficiais e os sentidos censurados, desnaturalizar o processo de (re)significação dos termos acolhidos pela NGB, depreendendo, assim, como os sentidos silenciados se fizeram significar na materialidade linguística das gramáticas / The Implementation of Brazilian Grammatical Nomenclature (NGB) in 1959 and the assumption of science Linguistics in Brazil in the 60 are events that caused profound changes to the grammar. The NGB as a discursive event, highlighting certain terms and silencing others, restructured the memory of Brazilian speech grammar, regulating the relationship between subject and utterable and establishing a new dominant discursive formation, which overlapped the previous discursive formations. In this paper, we assume that, despite the effect of the censure imposed by the official terminology, the grammatical discourse produced after its establishment is constitutively of the order of the heterogeneous. Therefore, based on the Theoretical Analysis of Discourse of Pêcheux Orlandi and on studies about project História das Ideias Linguísticas (Linguistic History of Ideas), we investigated the functioning of discourse legitimized by NGB in grammars which followed publication, specifically in seven grammars published between 1959 and 1969. Then we are interested in, in order to show the embodiment of the tension between the senses and the senses official censored, deconstruct the process of (re) signification of the terms accepted by the NGB, deducing, how the silenced senses got a meaning by themselves in the linguistic materiality of the grammars

Cette thèse examine les discours sur la société de consommation à Montréal entre 1945 et 1975, soit pendant la période d’abondance relative surnommée les Trente Glorieuses. En s’appuyant sur des discours dont la provenance reflète la diversité des points de vue qui entrent dans les foyers et circulent dans l’espace public québécois — périodiques grand public; magazines « féminins »; publications des institutions financières, des syndicats, de groupes gravitant plus ou moins loin de l’Église catholique, d’associations de parents, du milieu communautaire; mémoires en service social; rapports des commissions d’enquête gouvernementales — elle lève le voile sur la façon dont l’entrée dans la consommation de masse et ses répercussions sur les modes de vie sont perçues par une vaste gamme de commentateurs et, dans une moindre mesure, vécues. En s’appuyant sur une analyse quantitative, elle soutient que Montréal et le Québec n’entrent dans la société de consommation qu’à partir des années 1960, même si plusieurs indicateurs économiques et la consommation domestique des ménages font état d’une prospérité caractérisant l’ensemble de la période. Elle procède ensuite à une analyse qualitative des discours sur l’état de l’économie qui met en lumière la persistance d’inquiétudes — notamment au sujet de l’inflation, pourtant bridée — tout au long des Trente Glorieuses, l’abondance semblant manifestement fragile aux yeux de plusieurs experts. Elle se tourne par après vers les réactions positives, ambivalentes, mais surtout négatives que suscite l’entrée dans la consommation de masse elle-même et la transformation des valeurs qui en découle. Puis, elle propose une analyse des discours portant sur les répercussions de l’entrée dans la société de consommation sur les pratiques financières (l’épargne et le crédit), sur les rapports familiaux et la construction des identités au foyer ainsi que sur la pauvreté. Elle pose l’hypothèse d’une réticence plus grande des experts franco-québécois à la consommation de masse par rapport à leurs collègues anglophones. Elle soutient également que l’entrée dans la société de consommation renforce le patriarcat au Québec, du moins dans les discours. Ceux-ci se déclinent par ailleurs en deux temps, le conservatisme de la période 1945-1965 cédant le pas à des prises de position imprégnées par le contexte de contestation sociale du tournant des années 1970. À partir de la fin des années 1960, des phénomènes comme l’endettement ou la pauvreté commencent à être appréhendés en lien avec le consumérisme dans le cadre d’une rhétorique socialisante, souvent assez militante, qui conçoit de plus en plus la consommation comme un problème structurel et collectif en soi. / This dissertation examines discourses on consumer society in Montreal between 1945 and 1975, during a period known as the “golden age of capitalism.” Relying on a variety of sources that reflect a diversity of perspectives — namely mainstream periodicals, “feminine” magazines, social work theses, commissions of inquiry, and publications produced by financial institutions, parent associations, unions, Catholic organizations, and community associations — this dissertation reveals how a wide array of commentators perceived the beginnings of mass consumerism in Montreal and its repercussions on lifestyles. It also explores, to an extent, how so-called ordinary people experienced these beginnings and repercussions in their everyday lives. Although economic indicators display a relative prosperity, this dissertation first offers a quantitative analysis that shows that consumer society did not truly begin in Montreal (or Quebec more generally) before the 1960s. This study then proceeds to a qualitative analysis of discourses concerning Quebec’s and Canada’s economic situation. Apprehensions surrounding the economy persisted throughout this period — most notably around inflation, despite its being under control — and several experts continued to view prosperity as fragile. This dissertation then looks at the positive, ambivalent, but more frequently negative reactions to the beginnings of mass consumerism and the changes in values it entailed. It then finally examines discourses that addressed the repercussions of consumer society on household financial practices, on familial relationships and identity construction within the home, and on poverty. This dissertation suggests that French-Québécois experts resisted mass consumerism to a greater extent than their anglophone colleagues and that the arrival of consumer society reinforced patriarchy (at least discursively). It also highlights a rupture within discourses on consumerism sometime around 1965 as the conservatism of the previous two decades gave way to ideas linked to the social unrest of the mid-to-late 1960s and early 1970s. From the mid 1960s onward, most commentators began to understand phenomena like debt and poverty as fundamentally connected to consumerism as they developed an oftentimes militant socializing rhetoric that increasingly viewed consumption itself as a structural and collective problem.

Este trabalho tem por finalidade apontar determinados aspectos que nortearam algumas das principais especulações realizadas no campo da nova vocalidade na música escrita no despontar do século XX. A prática da voz inserida no mundo moderno se desenvolve com as bruscas mudanças que alteram os parâmetros da produção musical e da compreensão dos elementos de musicalidade que surgem nas primeiras décadas do século passado. Sucintamente, aborda o espectro de percepções estéticas e cognitivas que um ouvinte carrega em seu intelecto e o ambiente histórico de uma obra que são fundamentos para a contemplação, reflexão e que permitem entender a voz. Essa prática que se foi acrescendo paulatinamente de \"novos\" recursos tomados \"emprestados\" da prática da emissão vocal na fala e no canto cotidiano traz nova oralidade e vocalidade, fazendo surgir uma \"nova\" sonoridade que futuramente se intensificará em múltiplas tendências, principalmente a partir do final dos anos 50 e início dos 60 do século XX. O seu florescimento estende-se até os dias atuais teve como ponto de partida muitas das reflexões e pesquisas que a Segunda Escola de Viena trouxe para a música. Para embasar este estudo foi levantado um conjunto de obras vocais de Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Alban Berg e Edward Steuermann, que tem como ferramenta de análise a Teoria dos Conjuntos de Joseph Straus. / This paper aims at pointing out specific aspects that guided some of the main theories made in the field of new vocality in writing music that happened in the beginning of the 20th century. At that period the practice of speech inserted in the modern world was also developed by the sudden changes that altered the parameters of music production and the understanding of the elements of musicality. Shortly, this paper also discusses the spectrum of aesthetic and cognitive perceptions that a listener carries in his/her intellect and the historic setting which are grounds for contemplation and reflection for they allow the listener to understand the voice, and even extend the appreciation and understanding of the sound. Such practice gradually added to itself new features taken from vocal speech and everyday singing bringing new orality and voicing. This activity generated a \"new\" sound that would appear in multiple trends, mainly in the late 50s and early 60s of the 20th century. It is there up to the present days and it had as a starting point reflections and researches that the Second Viennese School brought to the music. To support this study a number of vocal works of Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Alban Berg and Edward Steuermann, were taken into consideration, which use Joseph Straus\' Theory of Groups as tool for analysis

La présente thèse s’appuie sur les correspondances adressées par le compositeur Henri Tomasi, entre 1916 et 1940, à Joséphine et Xavier Tomasi, ses parents, puis de 1954 à 1971, à Jean Molinetti, son ami le plus proche. Il s’agit d’un ensemble de 533 lettres inédites, qui ont été transcrites, classées, et annotées. Cet unique témoignage écrit du musicien nous permet de comprendre les répercussions qu’eurent sur son œuvre créatrice les événements qui ponctuèrent sa vie et dont ses courriers se font l’écho. Nous étudions ainsi tour à tour l’environnement familial d’Henri Tomasi, au travers notamment du rôle fondamental que joua son père tant dans son éducation que dans le cadre de ses recherches sur la musique traditionnelle corse ; nous voyons la façon dont le jeune musicien conduisit ses études musicales, les rapports qu’il entretint avec les institutions de son temps, mais aussi le rôle que purent jouer les différentes activités de chef d’orchestre qu’il exerça à certaines périodes de son existence. Nous assistons également à l’évolution progressive de sa pensée et à sa transposition dans son œuvre musicale. Tout au long de ces années, cette correspondance au cours de laquelle le musicien passe successivement d’une écriture contrainte à une écriture choisie, nous livre des informations capitales et nous séduit par la vivacité de son ton et le mordant de son style. / The present thesis is based on all the written correspondence from the composer Henri Tomasi to Joséphine and Xavier Tomasi, his parents, between 1916 and 1940.Then, from 1954 to 1971 to Jean Molinetti, his closest friend. This correspondence includes 533 unpublished letters which have been transcribed, classified and annotated. This musician's unique written testimony allows us to understand how the events which punctuated his life, echoed in his letters, had repercussions on his creative work. Thus in turn, we will study Henri Tomasi's family environment considering notably the fundamental role played by his father in his education as well as in the field of his research on traditional Corsican music ; we'll see the way the young musician conducted his musical studies, his relationship with the institutions of his time but also the role his various activities as a conductor were to play at certain periods of his life. We will also follow the progressive evolution of his thought and its transposition in his musical work. In this correspondence, throughout all those years, the musician's constrained writing style gradually evolved into a more personal one. It gives us essential information and Tomasi seduces us by the incisiveness of his style and by the liveliness of his tone.

Ce travail s’interroge d’une part sur la pratique de l’écriture du voyage chez les écrivains voyageurs francophones qui ont visité ou séjourné en Chine entre 1840 et 1939,et d’autre part sur la manière dont leur écriture traite des notions d’exotisme et d’altérité.Le paradigme du voyage romantique constitue un point de repère important, même si les siècles antérieurs ne sont pas à négliger. La réflexion prend en compte des complexités géographique, historique, politique, culturelle et philosophique qui ont marqué l’Occident et l’Extrême-Orient pendant cette période de cent ans. À ces enjeux « collectifs » s’en ajoutent d’autres plus personnels qui ont leur importance : la dimension individuelle du voyage, les données biographiques, les convictions spirituelles, les lectures et la conception même de l’écriture et de la littérature.La première partie de la thèse envisage les traits fondateurs du récit de voyage et aborde les récits du corpus d’un point de vue historique. La deuxième partie explore les interactions qui régissent le voyage et son écriture afin de mettre en évidence un art de composition qui transforme le vécu et le souvenir en écrit. La troisième partie appréhende l’écriture du voyage sur le plan de l’imaginaire, à travers la notion d’exotisme dans une vision qui se veut synthétique, et la question de représentation de l’altérité par le truchement de deux thèmes fédérateurs : le blanc de la carte et la langue chinoise. / This study concerns itself with two aspects of the techniques of French-speaking travel writers who visited China between 1840 and 1939 and of those who lived thereduring this period: on the one hand their writing practices and on the other the manner inwhich their texts deal with the notions of exoticism and the Other. The archetype of the romantic voyage constitutes an important reference, but the preceding centuries are takeninto account, too. The study integrates the geographical, historical, political, cultural andphilosophical complexities which characterised the West and the Far East during this particular hundred-year period. These « collective » factors are complemented by other similarly important but specifically personal elements : the individual character of thejourney, biographical details, spiritual convictions, reading preferences and the writers’particular conceptions of literature and writing.The first part of the dissertation examines the founding characteristics of the travelwriting and approaches the corpus from an historical perspective. The second part exploresthe interactions between the journey itself and the way it is described in order to highlightan art of composition which transforms experience and memories into writing. The thirdpart considers the travel writing as the work of the imaginary through a synthesizing analysis of exoticism, and the problem of the representation of the Other by means of twounifying themes: the blank areas on the map and the Chinese language.

Les œuvres poétiques de Fernando Assis Pacheco (Coimbra, 1937 – Lisbonne, 1995) et d’Adília Lopes (Lisbonne, 1960) présentent des éléments communs: un sabotage du langage poétique traditionnel, une dépréciation du sujet poétique, une représentation du monde apparemment triviale. Notre proposition est que ces trois grandes caractéristiques sont liées entre elles, de par leurs modes de concrétisation et les intentions qui les sous-tendent. On y retrouve en effet un même projet de « dégonflement » – d’un langage poétique grandiloquent et ampoulé, d’un sujet lyrique prétentieux et qui se prend trop au sérieux, d’une conception du monde excessivement épurée ou tendant vers le transcendantal. Néanmoins, cette opération ne s’assimile pas à une action proprement déconstructiviste, car elle vise à transmettre à ces entités un « souffle » susceptible de leur conférer une force animique et une capacité d’intervention. C’est sur la base de ce double mouvement que nous proposons le terme de « poétique de la déflation », en choisissant une notion qui recouvre à la fois ces deux acceptions (respectivement, dans les domaines économique et géomorphologique). L’adoption du prisme de la déflation nous permettra d’examiner le modèle sous-jacent des œuvres de Fernando Assis Pacheco et d’Adília Lopes. Pour le faire, notre travail se décompose en trois parties : nous étudions successivement la façon dont ces auteurs s’engagent dans une procédure de déflation du langage poétique qu’ils utilisent (concrètement, en nous penchant sur ses formes narratives) ; du sujet lyrique qu’ils figurent (par l’analyse d’une fluidification dans la figuration de ce sujet) ; et de la conception du monde que dénote leur poésie (en nous intéressant à la dimension éthique qui y est implicite). / The poetic works of Fernando Assis Pacheco (Coimbra, 1937 - Lisbon, 1995) and Adília Lopes (Lisbon, 1960) have common elements: a sabotage of the traditional poetic language, an impairment of the poetic self, an apparently trivial representation of the world. Our proposal is that these three characteristics are interrelated, by their modes of realization and the intentions that underlie them. We find indeed a project of "reduction" – of the pompous and bombastic language of poetry, of a pretentious lyrical self that takes itself too seriously, of a conception of the world excessively refined or tending towards the transcendental. However, this does not amount to a proper deconstructive action because it aims to convey a sense of strength and energy to these entities a purifying "breath". On the basis of this double movement we propose the term "poetics of deflation", choosing a concept that covers both these two meanings (respectively, in the economic and geomorphic domains). Adopting the prism of deflation allow us to examine the underlying model at Fernando Assis Pacheco’s and Adília Lopes’ poetry. To do so, our work is divided into three parts: we successively study how these writers engage in a process of deflation of the poetic language they use (specifically, by looking at its narrative forms); of the lyrical self that they portray (through analysis of a fluidity in this process of portrayal); and the world view they manifest in their poetry (focusing on its ethical dimension).

This thesis considers the ways in which Australia has been publicly represented in ten Asian societies in the twentieth century. It shows how these representations are at odds with Australian opinion leaders’ assertions about being a multicultural society, with their claims about engagement with Asia, and with their understanding of what is ‘typically’ Australian. It reviews the emergence and development of Asian regionalism in the twentieth century, and considers how Occidentalist strategies have come to be used to exclude and marginalise Australia. A historical survey outlines the origins of representations of Australia in each of the ten Asian countries, detecting the enduring influence both of past perceptions and of the interests of each country’s opinion leaders. Three test cases evaluate these findings in the light of events in the late twentieth century: the first considers the response in the region to the One Nation party, the second compares that with opinion leaders’ reaction to the crisis in East Timor; and the third presents a synthesis of recent Asian Australian fiction and what it reveals about Asian representations of Australia from inside Australian society. The thesis concludes that Australian policies and practices enable opinion leaders in the ten countries to construct representations of Australia in accordance with their own priorities and concerns, and in response to their agendas of Occidentalism, racism, and regionalism.

This thesis reviews the circumstances that led to what Paul Renner called “the inflation of historicism,” places his response to that problem in the context of the Weimar Republic, details how the German attributes with which he began the project were displaced from the typeface that emerged in 1927, demonstrates that Futura belongs to a new category of serif-less roman fonts rooted in Arts and Crafts lettering, and considers why the specifically German aspects of the project have gone unrecognized for over seventy years. Renner’s writing is compared to ideas prevalent in early twentieth-century German cultural discourse, and Futura’s design process is placed in the context of Renner’s personal experience of Weimar’s social and economic crises. Objective measurements are employed to establish the relationship between drawings attributed to Renner and are used to compare features of Futura with other fonts of the period.

Scholarship has firmly established that the short story cycle is well-suited to representations of community. This study considers eight North American examples of the genre: four by Canadian authors Stephen Leacock, Duncan Campbell Scott, George Elliott, and Alice Munro; and four by American authors Sarah Orne Jewett, Sherwood Anderson, John Cheever, and Joyce Carol Oates. My original idea was to discover whether there were significant differences between the Canadian and American cycles, but ultimately I became far more interested in the way that all of the cycles address community formation and disintegration. The focus of each cycle is a small community, whether a small town, a village, or a suburb. In all of the examples, the authors address the small community as the focus of anxiety, concern, criticism, and praise, with special attention to the way in which, despite its manifold failings, the small community continues to inspire longings for the ideal home and source of identity. The narrative feature that ultimately provided the critical framework for the study is the recurring presence of the metropolis in all of the eight cycles. The city, set on the horizons of these small communities, consistently provides a backdrop against which author and characters seem to measure and understand their lives. Always an influence (whether for good or bad), the city’s presence is constructed as the other against which the small community’s identity is formulated and understood. The relationship between small community and city led me to an investigation into the mythology of the small community, a mythology that sets the small community in opposition to the city, portraying the former as the keeper of virtue and the latter as the disseminator of vice. The cycles themselves, as I increasingly discovered, challenge the mythology by identifying how the small community depends, in large part, on the city for self-understanding. The small community, however, as an idea, and a mythic ideal, is never dismissed as obsolete or irrelevant.
