This thesis argues that contemporary climate justice actions can present a case for how social movements and activists engage as norm entrepreneurs with global politics. Following a case-based approach (McKee, 2003) and combining perspectives of political science with anthropology, theoretical concepts of everyday utopias (Cooper, 2014) and prefiguration (Maeckelbergh, 2011b; 2014) are applied to the case of a village occupation in Germany against a lignite coal mine expansion. It presents a relevant case for global politics as the local protest is transnationally networking with other protest and activist groups. In creating an alternative social and political system in their everyday life, the activists challenge norms of democratic participation, decision-making and beyond. By using prefiguration as a strategic tool, the protest proliferates change beyond the occupation. Through social and public media, the activists participate in the public debate, sharing their narrative and demands, thereby aiming to affect the public discourse and create change.

Boa parte deles adveio da política pró-Espanha assumida pelos dois primeiros reis Stuart, Jaime I e Carlos I, que, entre outras ações, não apoiaram as classes protestantes nas suas empresas de comercialização e colonização de mercados no exterior, deixando a situação econômica do país negativa. Diante do iminente fenecimento do regime monárquico, da Igreja Anglicana alicerçada no sistema episcopal e de aliança ao Estado, do perigo da Inglaterra se tornar domínio espanhol, Francis Godwin compõe por volta de 1629, publicado seu texto em 1638, a ficção utópica "The Man in the Moone". Sumarizando todo o conflito religioso e os deslizes do governo dos primeiros Stuart que caracterizou a Inglaterra nos 40 primeiros anos do século XVII, o presente estudo objetivará mostrar que essa ficção do espanhol Domingo Gonsales na sua viagem à lua, na passagem pela fictícia ilha de Santa Helena e pela China ocupada por jesuítas, debatendo as teorias de Copérnico, Galileu, Gilbert e Kepler na área da astronomia, se pretendeu uma defesa e proteção da Igreja Anglicana e do regime monárquico Tudor que aliava a Igreja ao Estado e favorecia a economia. Através do exemplo disciplinado e inovador dos jesuítas em missão na China no início do século XVII, Godwin intentará advertir os confusos reis, que a saída para os conflitos internos e externos ingleses estava no livre desenvolvimento da ciência, do comércio, e, agora diferente dos jesuítas, numa política adversária à Espanha e à mentalidade medieval e obsoleta católica / Abstract: Some years before the outbreak of the English Revolution of 1640, testifying that in England the monarchy and the Puritans would control an allegedly republican regime, there were a series of errors that contribute to political conflicts that led to the Civil War. Most of them came from the pro-Spanish political assumed by the first two Stuart kings, James I and Charles I, who, among other things, did not support the Protestant classes in their trading enterprises and colonization of overseas markets, leaving the economic situation of the country negative. Faced with the imminent withering of the monarchy, the Anglican Episcopal Church founded on the alliance with the State, the danger of Britain becoming a Spanish colony, Francis Godwin composed around 1629 and his text published in 1638, the utopian fiction "The Man in the Moone". Summarizing all the religious conflict and glides early Stuart England that characterized the first 40 years of the seventeenth century, this study will aim to show that this fiction of Spanish Domingo Gonsales on your trip to the moon, in his passage by the fictional island of Santa Helena and China populated by Jesuits, debating the theories of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Gilbert in the field of astronomy, sought a defense and protection of the Anglican Church and the Tudor monarchy that allied the Church to the State and favored the economy. Through disciplined and innovative example of the Jesuit mission in China in the early seventeenth century, Godwin will bring and warn the confused kings, that the output for the English internal and external conflicts was the investment in science, commerce, and now different from the Jesuits, in opposition to Spain and the Catholic medieval mentality and obsolete policy / Mestrado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

À luz da fortuna crítica e historiográfica, pretende-se refletir sobre a novidade formal que esse ambicioso projeto apresenta no panorama político moderno. O problema desloca-se para o exame das relações entre matéria histórica e forma literária. Afinal, a Grande Guerra parece reorientar as pesquisas formais desenvolvidas pelas vanguardas italianas, a partir do instante em que a política se torna o tema central. A ambição deste trabalho é avaliar de que maneira os acontecimentos históricos, que marcaram a geração que viveu a experiência da Grande Guerra, fornecem subsídios para que compreendamos os rumos das vanguardas italianas e o modo como a formalização estética de seus ideais transformou a Itália do início do século XX em um laboratório político / Abstract: This doctorate thesis, the investigation object of which is Carta del Carnaro, written by Gabriele D'Annunzio and Alceste De Ambris, aims at analyzing the utopian, literary and modernist aspects of the Fiuman Constitution. In light of the critical and historiographical fortune, the intention is to reflect which formal novelty this ambitious project shows in the modern political scenario. The problem shifts to the examination of the relationships between historical matter and literary form. After all, the Great War seems to reorient the formal surveys made by the Italian vanguards, from the moment in which the politics becomes the central theme. The ambition of this study is to assess how the historical events experienced by the generation that lived during the Great War serve as base so that we can understand the direction of the Italian vanguards and how the esthetic formalization of their ideals transformed the Italy of the early 20th Century into a political laboratory / Doutorado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Doutora em Teoria e História Literária

A obra estudada é considerada a primeira no gênero literário utópico escrita por uma mulher e apresenta a história do descobrimento de um novo mundo por um estrangeiro que, após atravessar os mares, ali desembarca. O Mundo Resplandecente possui uma organização das leis, do estado, da religião etc. que permite uma vida em perfeita harmonia. Porém, diferentemente da estrutura paradigmática do texto de Thomas Morus, após sua chegada, o estrangeiro passa a interferir nesse mundo provocando-lhe mudanças substanciais, principalmente no que se refere à criação de sociedades científicas. Pertencendo às utopias produzidas ao longo do século XVII, como algumas delas, este texto possibilita a observação de um ideal pautado no contexto político e histórico que circunda o autor, bem como, e principalmente, apresenta ao leitor diferentes ideias presentes nos debates filosóficos dessa época. Esse caráter ocorre, de forma central, em função das críticas que a autora faz à filosofia experimental praticada pela Royal Society e que estão presentes em Observations, contudo, na utopia, um de seus intuitos é tratar dessa argumentação filosófica de forma a facilitar a compreensão aos que não participavam desse debate / Abstract: The objective of this Master¿s thesis is to complete a translation to Portuguese and a study of the The Description of a New World, Called The Blazing-World, by the natural philosopher Margaret Lucas Cavendish (the Duchess of Newcastle). This work was first published in 1666, following her previous book Observations upon Experimental Philosophy. This is considered to be the first utopian work written by a woman and presents the history of the discovery of a new world by a stranger, after a trip across the seas. This world has perfect organization of law, state, religion etc., resulting in a harmonious life for its inhabitants. The story has some resemblance to Thomas More¿s Utopia (1516) but is different in that, after his arrival, the stranger starts to interfere in this world. This causes a number of changes, mainly to established scientific societies. In a similar way to various other `utopias¿ produced throughout the seventeenth century, Cavendish¿s text allows the observation of the ideal political and historical context that surrounds the duchess, as well as introducing the reader to various ideas present in philosophical debates in that time. This includes various criticisms that the author makes of the experimental philosophy practiced by The Royal Society, which are also focused on in Observations. One of main purposes of the creation of this particular fictional utopia is to introduce the principle of philosophical argumentation to those who had not previously been able to participate in such debates / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Utopia, Philosophy and Hermeneutics Exploring the thought of Gianni Vattimo Article I: The End of Utopia An explanation for the rise of distopia in popular culture with reference to the ideas of Gianni Vattimo In this article the development of utopianism is described by tracing it back to its original classical form, following it through its modernistic form and finally describing distopia as the postmodern form of utopia. Using the ideas of Gianni Vattimo, distopia is interpreted as the creative embodiment of the "counterfinality of reason". In this way distopia acts as a critique of modem rationalism. The question is raised if it is possible to speak of "the end of utopia" in postmodern times. It is concluded that utopian thought remains and functions as a necessary fiction in postmodern ethics. Article II: An Appropriate Postmodern Philosophy A discussion of the hermeneutics of Gianni Vattimo The aim of this article is to discuss the radical hermeneutics proposed by the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo. Vattimo declares a radicalization of hermeneutics to be the only consistent, persuasive and valid approach to the postmodern conditions of existence we find ourselves in today. In order to explain what this approach entails, and how Vattimo justifies it, this article discusses his interpretation of the history (and end) of modernity, as well as his proposals for a new task for philosophy, and for a postmodern ethics. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Utopie, Filosofie en Hermeneutiek 'n Verkenning van die denke van Gianni Vattimo Artikel I: Die Einde van Utopie 'n Verklaring vir die opkoms van distopie in populêre kultuur aan die hand van die idees van Gianni Vattimo Hierdie artikel beskryf die ontwikkeling van utopianisme deur die oorspronklike klassieke en latere modernistiese vorme daarvan na te gaan, en uiteindelik distopie te beskryf as die postmoderne vorm van utopie. Met verwysing na die denke van Gianni Vattimo word distopie geïnterpreteer as die kreatiewe beliggaming van die "kontrafinaliteit van rede". Op hierdie manier lewer distopie kritiek op moderne rasionalisme. Die vraag word gevra na die moontlikheid daarvan om te kan praat van "die einde van utopie" in postmoderne tye, en uiteindelik word tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat utopiese denke steeds 'n rol het om te speel as 'n noodsaaklike fiksie binne 'n postmoderne etiek. Artikel II: 'n Gepaste Postmoderne Filosofie 'n Bespreking van die hermeneutiek van Gianni Vattimo Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die Italiaanse filosoof Gianni Vattimo se voorstel vir 'n radikale hermeneutiek te bespreek. Vattimo is oortuig daarvan dat 'n radikalisering van hermeneutiek die enigste konsekwente, oortuigende en geldige benadering is tot die postmoderne bestaanstoestande waarbinne ons onsself vandag bevind. In 'n poging om te verduidelik wat hierdie benadering behels, en hoe Vattimo dit regverdig, word sy interpretasie van die geskiedenis (en einde) van moderniteit bespreek, asook sy voorstelle vir 'n nuwe taak vir die filosofie, en vir 'n postmoderne etiek.

Such notions are problematized from the historical research of the scientific fictions, derived from literature and cinema, such as the own science conceptions during the 19th and 20th centuries. Therefore, theoretical-methodological sources referred to the ludism, cinema and representation are used in order to establish the notions of dystopia presented in the specified games, in a link with the concepts of the pessimistic future existed in the scientific and artistic imaginary. / A presente dissertação procura demonstrar as relações das noções de distopias e ficção científica com as séries de jogos virtuais Half-Life e Metal Gear Solid, além de compreender títulos significativos de games na influência dos mesmos. Tais noções são problematizadas a partir do estudo histórico das ficções científicas, provenientes da literatura e do cinema, assim como das próprias concepções de ciência dos séculos XIX e XX. Para tanto, utilizam-se fontes teórico-metodológicas referentes ao estudo do ludismo, cinema e representação, a fim de estabelecer as noções de distopia apresentados nos jogos em específico em vínculo com as concepções de futuro de maneira pessimista, presentes no imaginário tanto científico quanto artístico.

Adorno?s philosophy of history by the unfolding of continuum concept in the categories of proto-history, Calvary, ever-identical, self-destruction and redemption. Instead to dialogue with messianic currents of Judaism and Christianity, our intention is, through the philosophical tradition, raise the continuum to concept. This articulation does not mean that we want to counteract the theology, but has the pretension to present a closer interweaving between theology and philosophy. The thema probandum, the continuum has a double difficulty to overcome in this work: first, to emerge the continuum in Adorno?s work and then its internal consistency as a concept and ability to consolidate the philosophy of history against others concurrent positions while we establish the originality of Adorno, even compared to the authors that had a decisive influence on his thinking, in particular Walter Benjamin. / O presente trabalho pretende apresentar a filosofia da hist?ria de Theodor W. Adorno sob o desdobramento do conceito de continuum nas categorias de proto-hist?ria, calv?rio, sempre-id?ntico, autodestrui??o e reden??o. Ao inv?s de dialogarmos com as correntes messi?nicas do juda?smo e cristianismo a nossa pretens?o ?, atrav?s da pr?pria tradi??o filos?fica, elevar o continuum ao conceito. Este movimento n?o significa neutralizar a teologia, mas demonstrar um entrela?amento muito mais estreito entre ela e a filosofia. O thema probandum, o continuum, encontra uma dupla dificuldade a se superar neste trabalho: fazer emergir claramente o continuum, em primeiro lugar, na obra de Adorno, e depois sua consist?ncia interna enquanto conceito e capacidade de se afirmar diante de posi??es concorrentes de filosofia da hist?ria. Isso tudo, ao mesmo tempo em que firmamos a originalidade de Adorno, mesmo frente aos autores que tiveram influ?ncia decisiva no seu pensamento, em particular, Walter. Benjamin.
