Odilon Redon, The Visual Poet of Edgar Allan Poe: A Study of the Lithographic Album A Edgar Poe argues that the album A Edgar Poe, published in 1882, fundamentally alters Redon's artistic career. The thesis advocates the importance of Poe's writing to Redon's development, contending that the lithographic album confirms nineteenth-century literary and artistic interest in Poe. The thesis maintains that, while Redon subsequently attempted to disassociate himself from the American writer, his art was recognized and admired for its Poe-esque visions. Chapter One examines Edgar Allan Poe's influence on the nineteenth-century French artistic and literary avant-garde. The chapter argues that the artistic and spiritual resemblance between Poe and Redon facilitates the design the lithographic album A Edgar Poe, a work Redon uses to promote his own standing as an artist. Through examination of the original plates of the lithographic album A Edgar Poe at The Art Institute of Chicago, Chapter Two illustrates Poe's centrality to the evolution of Redon's art. Chapter Three argues for the importance of A Edgar Poe in Redon's oeuvre, contending that subsequent albums and commissions show the important role of literary art in Redon's artistic growth. The chapter demonstrates the significance of Redon's work to the Symbolist avant-garde of Brussels. Utilizing Andre Mellerio's notes, essays, collected letters and writings in the Ryerson & Burnham Library at the Art Institute of Chicago, the thesis argues that the album A Edgar Poe represents a pivotal stage in Redon's career through its dedication to a literary artist and the unification of art and poetry. Contending that the album develops themes prevalent in the noirs, the thesis illustrates the artistic resemblance and relationship between Poe and Redon and emphasizes the crucial role of Poe's work in Redon's progression and acceptance as an artist.

The topic of the diploma thesis is Concerning Chosen Translations of the Poem The Raven by E. A. Poe - an Attempt at a Comparison. The thesis deals with the comparison of Czech translations which have been written over the period of the last twenty years. The original text would be also dealt with, since there come up distinct shifts of meaning within the process of translation. However, the author will not omit different aesthetical qualities of the original and target language. An observation of schoolbooks for teaching literature at secondary and high schools will be added together with an attempt to determine the most frequently included translation which could therefore be considered as canonic. The output of the thesis should be an analysis evaluating whether including the translation in schoolbooks is appropriate and offering a constructive suggestion on an alternative one.

A literatura de autoajuda é um fenômeno recente sobre o qual poucas considerações foram tecidas. Dentre seus muitos representantes, encontram-se aqueles que se utilizam amplamente de recursos científicos para demonstrar seu ponto e embasar suas orientações. Esta dissertação se debruça sobre a obra de dois autores de best sellers deste tipo, Allan e Barbara Pease, e possui o intuito de discuti-la enquanto material de divulgação científica. A partir da análise etnográfica, tentei contextualizar esta produção de autoajuda científica, buscando conecta-la com aspectos mais amplos da sociedade englobante, e investigar as noções de gênero, sexo e natureza contida neles. Esse esforço é realizado sob o viés da investigação sobre a divulgação científica, a saber, a relação entre expertise científica e público leigo Assim, mobilizo referências que exploram a relação entre o conhecimento científico e o público leigo, de modo a não toma-la como relação de mão única. Através da análise do conteúdo dos livros dos autores são pensadas as categorias de autoajuda científica e o modo como são representadas as noções de sexo e gênero.

Por fim, busco compreender o fenômeno da autoajuda científica no contexto de uma biopolítica do século XXI. / Self-help literature is a recent phenomenon about which there have been few considerations. Among its many examples, there are those which greatly take from scientific resources in order to get their point across and base their orientations. This dissertation is about the works of two best-selling authors in this genre, Allan and Barbara Pease, intending to discuss them as scientific divulgation material. Through an ethnographic analysis I’ve tried to give context to this production of a scientific self-help literature, connecting it with wider social aspects and investigating the notions of gender, sex and nature in them. This effort is made under the studies of scientific divulgation which means it recognizes the question as a relation that goes both ways between scientific knowledge and common-sense. Thus, I raise a discussion about the content of the authors' books in relation to other materials written about this subject, and I also analyze the way in which their scientific sources are gathered. Finally, I intend to understand the phenomenon of scientific self-help literature in the biopolitical context of the 21st century.

Its objective is to investigate and to describe the rippling influences of a literary text (authentic material) as a didactic material. The guiding question to this study was: what are the contributions of a literary text (authentic materials) as a didactic resource to the process of teaching and learning of a foreign language as well as to students’ motivation? The corpus of the research was the short story “the Black Cat” by American author, Edgar Allan Poe. The collecting of the data happened during a didactic sequence (DS) with students in the 1st year of High School in a public institution in the city of Trindade- GO, their ages ranging from 14 and 16 years old. For the data analysis, two questionnaires were used, one initial questionnaire and a final questionnaire, and the activities carried out during the DS. This study was based on theories on the Short Story, Literature and didactic materials, using some of the following authors: (1994), Calvino (1990), Candido (1995, 2004), Campagnon (2009), Eco (2003), Duarte (2016), Leffa (1999), Pessoa (2009), Almeida Filho (2013), Almeida Filho e Barbirato (2000), amongst others. The analysis adumbrated that the practice of literary readings and the utilization of authentic materials in the foreign language classroom can motivate and contribute, in a positive way, to the teaching and learning process. Thus, we hope that this work can be a rich source of information to the pedagogic practices of other foreign language (FL) teachers, since there is not only the improvement of pedagogical practices, but also the value of theoretical reflection. / Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com o título Leitura literária e ensino de Língua Estrangeira: o conto de Edgar Allan Poe no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa no Ensino Médio, vinculado à linha de pesquisa Concepções Teórico-Metodológicas e Concepções Docentes. Objetiva-se investigar e descrever as influências exercidas quando se utiliza um texto literário (material autêntico) como material didático. A pergunta norteadora foi: que contribuições o uso de um texto literário pode trazer tanto no processo de ensino e aprendizagem quanto na motivação de estudantes de língua inglesa? Elegeu-se como corpus de pesquisa o conto The Black Cat, do autor americano Edgar Allan Poe. Para a coleta de dados, aplicou-se uma sequência didática (SD), com alunos de 1º ano do Curso Técnico Integrado ao Ensino Médio de uma instituição pública da cidade de Trindade-GO, na faixa etária entre 14 e 16 anos. A análise dos dados contemplou a utilização de dois questionários (um inicial e outro final) e as atividades desenvolvidas a partir da SD. Fundamentou-se a pesquisa em teorias de conto, literatura e material didático de autores como: Bosi (1994), Calvino (1990), Candido (1995, 2004), Campagnon (2009), Eco (2003), Duarte (2016), Leffa (1999), Pessoa (2009), Almeida Filho (2013), Almeida Filho e Barbirato (2000), entre outros. A análise apreendida revelou que a prática de leitura literária e a utilização de material autêntico nas aulas de língua estrangeira podem motivar e contribuir de forma positiva para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Espera-se, portanto, que esta pesquisa seja uma fonte rica para pesquisadores e estudiosos dos temas aqui discorridos, visto que há não apenas o aprimoramento das práticas pedagógicas, mas também o valor da reflexão teórica.

Les observations astronomiques nous permettent d’étudier l’univers et de comprendre les phénomènes qui le gouvernent. La matière visible dans l’univers émet des ondes à des fréquences très diverses, réparties sur tout le spectre électromagnétique (domaines radio, submillimétrique, infrarouge, visible, ultraviolet, X et gamma). Ces ondes nous renseignent sur certaines caractéristiques physico-chimiques des éléments observés (nature, température, mouvement, etc.). Des télescopes couvrant différentes plages de fréquences sont nécessaires pour observer l’ensemble du spectre électromagnétique. Les radio-télescopes, sensibles aux ondes (sub)millimétriques, sont principalement dédiés à l’observation de la matière froide présente dans le milieu interstellaire. Le milieu interstellaire est le berceau des étoiles et son étude est essentielle pour comprendre les différentes étapes de la vie des étoiles. La fréquence maximale d’observation des radio-télescopes est en augmentation depuis la fabrication des premiers radio-télescopes dans les années 1930. Récemment, des radio-télescopes capables de détecter des signaux dans l’infrarouge lointain, au delà de 1 THz, ont été développés. Ces avancées technologiques ont été motivées, entre autres, par la présence, dans le milieu interstellaire, de molécules et d’ions uniquement observables à des fréquences supérieures à 1 THz. Pour observer des raies avec une haute résolution spectrale, les radio-télescopes sont équipés de récepteurs hétérodynes. Ce type de récepteur permet d’abaisser la fréquence de la raie spectrale observée tout en conservant ses caractéristiques (une raie observée à 1 THz peut, par exemple, être décalée à une fréquence de 1 GHz). Cette technique permet d’observer des raies avec une très haute résolution spectrale et c’est pourquoi les récepteurs hétérodynes sont largement utilisés pour les observations de raies spectrales aux fréquences GHz et THz. Dans les récepteurs hétérodynes, un oscillateur local (OL) émet un signal monochromatique à une fréquence très proche de celle du signal observé. Les deux signaux sont superposés à l’aide d’un diplexeur et transmis à un mélangeur. Ce dernier réalise le battement des deux signaux et génère un signal identique au signal observé mais à une fréquence plus faible. Durant ma thèse, j’ai travaillé sur la construction, la caractérisation et l’amélioration d’un récepteur hétérodyne à 2.6 THz. Cette fréquence d’observation (2.6 THz) est l’une des plus hautes atteintes par les récepteurs hétérodynes THz existant actuellement, ce qui constitue un défi technologique très important. Dans le but de caractériser et d’améliorer ce récepteur, je me suis concentré sur trois aspects essentiels ..... / (Sub)Millimeter-telescopes are often used to observe the interstellar medium in the universe and they enable us to study the stellar life cycle. To detect and study some important molecules and ions, we need receivers able to observe at frequencies above 1 THz. Receivers working at such high frequencies are quite new and the 2.6 THz heterodyne receiver I built and characterized during my PhD represents the state-of-the-art of THz heterodyne receivers. I especially focused on three important aspects of this receiver: its stability, the superimposition of the local oscillator signal (LO) and the observed signal by a diplexer, and the splitting of the LO signal by a phase grating. The stability was calculated with the Allan variance and I found that the two elements limiting the stability of our receiver were the 1.4 THz local oscillator and the mixer bias supply. The Martin-Puplett interferometer (MPI) diplexer I designed, built and tested is able to transmit 76 % of the LO power at 2.6 THz and we estimate a transmittance around 79 % for the observed signal. This MPI is operational and ready for the next generation of heterodyne receivers. Splitting the LO signal is essential to build heterodyne receivers with several pixels, which allows us to get spectra of the universe at many positions in the sky simultaneously. I have developed a new kind of grating, called Global gratings, and I made two prototypes of these Global phase gratings able to split the LO beam into four beams. These two phase grating prototypes, a transmissive and a reflective one, were optimized for 610 GHz and showed, respectively, an efficiency of 62 ± 2 % and 76 ± 2 %. These excellent results validate the design and fabrication processes of this new kind of grating. In conclusion, the work accomplished during this PhD constitutes an important step toward the realization of a very stable and highly sensitive 2.6 THz multi-pixel heterodyne receiver using a MPI diplexer.

The Coloured community of Southern Africa, just like other ethnic groups, has been shaped by many factors (politics, economy, secularization, etc.). This ‘otherness’ also caused God to be regarded in a unique way – his role in this world, his involvement in this community and, finally, what his church should look like and how it should function. The crux of this mini dissertation is to look specifically at this unique image of God. I humbly apologize for my use of classification and I do not want to revert to the former dispensation, but it is of the utmost importance for matters such as church union that colour and opinions be discussed. The story of the Uniting Reformed Church of Southern Africa between 1976 and 2005 has been followed in greater detail both with a church historical and autobiographical approach. Some perspectives on the future of this church are provided. / Dissertation (MDiv (Church History))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Church History and Church Policy / unrestricted

La présente thèse aborde les enjeux liés à la traduction de poèmes rédigés dans un style classique, tels que ceux rédigés au XIXe siècle par exemple. Le cadre de cette étude porte sur les langues française et anglaise, et l’argumentaire se fonde sur le Raven d’Edgar Allan Poe et cinq de ses traductions, produites par Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Maurice Rollinat, Paul Laurendeau et moi-même. D’abord, j’aborde les liens existant entre ces cinq traductions et quatre théories prescriptives de la traduction qui décrivent précisément les principes qui régissent les manières de traduire auxquelles nous (les cinq traducteurs de l’œuvre à l’étude) avons eu recours. Je souligne l’importance d’une traduction le plus près possible du discours (tel que le conçoit Henri Meschonnic) et des effets phonétiques présents dans l’œuvre source. Ensuite, je retrace l’histoire du Raven et analyse 12 segments témoin qui serviront de points de repère pour l’analyse. Enfin, j’analyse les cinq traductions en confrontant les 12 segments témoin aux passages qui leur correspondent dans chacune des traductions. En traduction poétique, il importe de s’attacher au discours, au rythme, aux figures de style, à la sémantique et aux réseaux phonétiques contenus dans l’œuvre source, tout en modifiant sa structure de strophe le moins possible. Ce faisant, la tension interne du poème est conservée, car la très grande majorité des composantes de l’œuvre originale est rendue dans le poème cible. Poème cible constitue un aspect important de la présente thèse, puisqu’il est primordial de créer, dans la langue d’arrivée, un poème qui réponde aux mêmes critères, aux mêmes exigences de qualité que la poésie classique. Cette conception de la tâche d’un traducteur-poète se trouve cristallisée dans la traduction que j’ai faite du Raven. Enfin, dans l’annexe se trouvent le Raven de Poe et les cinq traductions que j’ai mentionnées au premier paragraphe du présent résumé.
