This dissertation examines the linear sequence of segments in musical collages composed by John Zorn between 1988 and 1993. In addition to the use of processes and associations as unifying elements, these pieces present hierarchical organization and narrative structure. The presence of form and narrative in these works illustrates the capacity of postmodern music to be unified in novel and idiosyncratic ways. I examine Zorn's collage pieces using an adapted methodology of paradigmatic analysis and incorporate ideas of musical topics as signifiers of delineation in the works. The segmentation of these works, begun in chapter three, reveals a hierarchical organization where individual musical blocks are organized into larger structures that I call collage phrases. This reveals the presence of hierarchical form in the musical surface, showing that organization in the pieces is not limited to background processes. The collage pieces that utilize this structure are described as exhibiting episodic collage form. Collage phrases in such pieces may also be further grouped together into larger units. I examine narrative in the pieces through the idea of idiolects, which I conceive of as approaches and compositional philosophies that are identified through the careful examination of Zorn and his music. Chapter four examines how linear narrative in Zorn's string quartet Cat O'Nine Tails relates to an idea of visual organization that connects to his conception of cartoon music. Chapter five examines how Zorn's album Radio is organized through the idea of the "musical game," a concept in which borrowed materials and techniques are combined with Zorn's musical persona. Songs on Radio reflect this concept progressively over the course of the album. This study reveals several things about Zorn's music and about musical postmodernism. First, it illustrates the organization of the musical surface of these works. Second, it highlights linear musical narratives in the pieces. These elements of linear organization operate alongside other non-linear structures in Zorn's music. Finally, it demonstrates the capacity of postmodern music to contain innovative approaches towards musical organization.

We will study some classic axioms, their equivalence and we will see some applications of them. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma abordagem sobre a importância de sistemas axiomáticos na Matemática.

A teoria de conjuntos por vezes deixada de lado em algumas escolas de ensino mÃdio, constitui-se em um elemento primordial para o entendimento das funÃÃes, em especial. A nÃo abordagem, ou a sua abordagem superficial, deixa no estudante uma lacuna difÃcil de ser suprida em estudos posteriores. AliÃs, a lacuna deixada pode dificultar o desempenho do estudante no ensino superior. Diante desta constataÃÃo, à objetivo principal desta dissertaÃÃo fazer uma leitura dos principais tÃpicos ligados à Teoria de Conjuntos do ensino mÃdio, ao mesmo tempo em que faz uma ponte entre estes e outros pontos nÃo menos importantes, tratando conjuntos em uma linguagem mais acadÃmica. SerÃo abordados desde as propriedades e teoremas relacionados a conjuntos finitos, atà a sua generalizaÃÃo para conjuntos infinitos, culminando com o teorema de Cantor-Schroeder-Bernstein, o Axioma da Escolha, e o Lema de Zorn. Para tantos, realizaram-se pesquisas bibliogrÃficas em fontes variadas. / The set theory sometimes left out in some high schools, is in a key element for understanding the functions in particular. Failure to address this issue or its superficial approach leaves the student a difficult gap to be filled in later studies. Incidentally, the left gap may hinder student performance in higher education. If this is so, is the main objective of this work to a reinterpretation of the main topics linked to the high school set theory, while making a bridge between these and other equally important points dealing with sets in a more academic language. Will be covered from the properties and theorems related to finite sets up its generalization to infinite sets, culminating in the Cantor-Schroeder-Bernstein theorem, the Axiom of Choice and Zornâs Lemma. To this end, there were literature searches in various sources.
