Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A dialogic reading between Caio Fernando Abreu and Reinaldo Arenas based on the vitalist and enhanced dimension of their texts is presented here, aiming at articulating a state of uneasiness with the resistant nature that the sight of new existential and relational possibilities opens inside and outside the fictional space. To do so, transgressions as regard the content and form in Arenas and Abreu s fiction were sought - mainly by following the connections existing among the flexibility of Foucault s fold , the new division of the sensible engendered by the political dimension of art in accordance with Ranciere s conception, and the nomad impulse originated by the notion of war machine conceived by Deleuze and Guatarri. Along the trajectory, the revolutionary concept of becoming ; forged through and by the fictional corpus, overcame the dilemma among antagonistic positions presented by the inherent critical view of the selected works in relation to their context of production. By so doing, it was possible to bring to light a transforming way of feeling: one that may alter the existing forms of life and, ultimately, reinvent them. Through different aesthetic devices, the works of fiction studied deviate obstructing centers to allow a becoming to be forseen: unfinished and inoperative, yet, an embryo for a rare community to be thought of, and its alterity restored from its intrinsic expropriation. / Leitura dialógica estabelecida entre escritos de Caio Fernando Abreu e de Reinaldo Arenas que, pautada na dimensão vitalista potencializada em seus textos, visa articular a circulação do desassossego com o caráter resistente que o vislumbre de novas possibilidades existenciais e relacionais abre dentro e fora do espaço ficcional. Para tanto e apoiada, sobretudo, nas conexões entre a maleabilidade da dobra foucaultiana, a redivisão do sensível engendrada pela dimensão política da arte conforme concebe Rancière e o impulso nômade da noção de máquina de guerra deleuzo-guattariana buscou-se perscrutar transgressões, no que tange ao conteúdo e à forma, ativadas tanto na literatura areniana quanto na caiofernandiana. Com o percurso, delineou-se que o devir-revolucionário engendrado no (e pelo) corpus ficcional ultrapassava o embate entre posições antagônicas, visível na postura crítica das obras selecionadas em relação ao contexto de produção das mesmas, para suscitar uma transformação afetiva enquanto possível desclassificador de formas-de-vida que se mostram insuficientes, forçando, em consequência, à reinvenção. Por diferentes estratégias estéticas as ficções estudadas vazam focos obstrutores em um deslize que se estende a um reclamado por vir: inacabado e inoperante, gérmen de uma inusitada comunidade, cuja discussão devolve à alteridade sua intrínseca expropriação.

abstract: The Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) is a summer research program for undergraduate students, largely from underrepresented minority groups. Founded in 1996, it serves as a 'life-long' mentorship program, providing continuous support for its students and alumni. This study investigates how MTBI supports student development in applied mathematical research. This includes identifying of motivational factors to pursue and develop capacity to complete higher education. The theoretical lens of developmental psychologists Lev Vygotsky (1978, 1987) and Lois Holzman (2010) that sees learning and development as a social process is used. From this view student development in MTBI is attributed to the collaborative and creative way students co-create the process of becoming scientists. This results in building a continuing network of academic and professional relationships among peers and mentors, in which around three quarters of MTBI PhD graduates come from underrepresented groups. The extent to which MTBI creates a Vygotskian learning environment is explored from the perspectives of participants who earned doctoral degrees. Previously hypothesized factors (Castillo-Garsow, Castillo-Chavez and Woodley, 2013) that affect participants’ educational and professional development are expanded on. Factors identified by participants are a passion for the mathematical sciences; desire to grow; enriching collaborative and peer-like interactions; and discovering career options. The self-recognition that they had the ability to be successful, key element of the Vygotskian-Holzman theoretical framework, was a commonly identified theme for their educational development and professional growth. Participants characterize the collaborative and creative aspects of MTBI. They reported that collaborative dynamics with peers were strengthened as they co-created a learning environment that facilitated and accelerated their understanding of the mathematics needed to address their research. The dynamics of collaboration allowed them to complete complex homework assignments, and helped them formulate and complete their projects. Participants identified the creative environments of their research projects as where creativity emerged in the dynamics of the program. These data-driven findings characterize for the first time a summer program in the mathematical sciences as a Vygotskian-Holzman environment, that is, a `place’ where participants are seen as capable applied mathematicians, where the dynamics of collaboration and creativity are fundamental components. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences 2015

Ce travail de thèse se propose d’analyser la question identitaire dans un corpus de films d’Afrique des années 2000. Echappant à la définition monolithique du "cinéma africain" comme genre à part, ces récits de fiction transnationaux reflètent la pluralité des appartenances culturelles des cinéastes. À partir de la notion de paraphrase, théorisée par Jean-Pierre Esquenazi dans son livre La vérité de la fiction. Comment peut-on croire que les récits de fiction nous parlent sérieusement de la réalité? nous étudions de quelle manière les fictions choisies exemplifient certains aspects des réalités complexes et des parcours de leurs auteurs. Il s’agit de parcours – personnels et collectifs – marqués par l’histoire de la colonisation, par des représentations initiales déformées des Africains et par l’expérience et les déchirures de la migration, celle-ci plaçant les cinéastes en position de minorité dans leur pays de résidence. Nous montrons que ce statut en marge, qui oblige à une redéfinition de soi, peut devenir source de créativité artistique et générer un style cinématographique original. Les fictions étudiées, tout en partant de contextes socioculturels spécifiques, touchent à des problématiques humaines universelles. Elles produisent des énonciations collectives qui prennent aussi une valeur politique. Grâce à des formes narratives et à des esthétiques sobres la plupart du temps, mais capables d’exprimer l’hybridité culturelle et la pluralité, ce sont des personnages complexes, aux identités composites, qui sont mis en scène dans leur devenir. Les notions de cinéma accentué d’Hamid Naficy et de mineur développée par Deleuze et Guattari nous aident à explorer comment le regard décentré, interstitiel et multifocal des cinéastes transnationaux offre des points de vue différents et novateurs. / The aim of this thesis is to analyze the identity issues in a corpus of African films made in the 2000's. These transnational films escape from the monolithic definition of "African cinema" as a genre, and translate the plural belongings of filmmakers. Using the concept of paraphrase theorized by Jean-Pierre Esquenazi in his book La vérité de la fiction. Comment peut-on croire que les récits de fiction nous parlent sérieusement de la réalité?, we study how these fictions illustrate some aspects of their authors' complexe realities and paths. Their personal and collective experiences are marked by initial misrepresentations, by colonization, by migration and cultural ruptures, which place the filmmakers in a marginal position within their countries of residence. It will illustrate how the exilic condition, requiring a redefinition of oneself, could also become a source of artistic creativity, and could encourage one to invent an adequate cinematographic style. These fictions, even starting from specific socio-cultural contexts, expand to some larger human issues. Expressing collective statements, they become political movies. Through often sober narrative forms and aesthetics, but able to express cultural hybridity and plurality, complex characters, with shifting identities, are shown in their becoming process. The ideas of accented cinema by Hamid Naficy and of minor by Deleuze and Guattari help us to explore how the "off-centered", interstitial and multifocal perspective of the transnational filmmakers offer us different and innovatory points of view.

Through relations between the researcher’s daily life, urban visualities and meetings with other inhabitants of the neighborhood in which she resided during her doctorate, she produces learning narratives in which image and text dialog and complement themselves. Mobilizing percepts by the action of photographing, some visualities surpass the author’s singularities, becoming Excesses that provoke new thoughts. As a recently arrived outsider, she learns by these excesses at every moment that she turns to see, to think, to listen, to speak and to write about the images/narratives she produces. Between urban interventions and talks with the inhabitants, triggered affects provoke other glances about the city and about researching, configuring multiple paths of learning that are always in process. / Esta pesquisa explora aprendizagens em devir de percursos cotidianos realizados no entorno de um bairro da cidade de Goiânia (GO). A partir das relações entre o cotidiano da pesquisadora, visualidades urbanas e encontros com outros moradores no entorno do bairro onde ela residiu durante o doutorado, são produzidas narrativas aprendentes nas quais imagens e textos dialogam e se complementam. Ao mobilizar perceptos pela ação de fotografar, algumas visualidades ultrapassam as singularidades da autora, tornando-se excessos provocadores de novos pensamentos. Como uma forasteira recém chegada, aprende com esses excessos a cada momento que torna a ver, pensar, ouvir, falar e escrever sobre as imagens/narrativas que produz. Entre intervenções urbanas e conversas com moradores são disparados afectos que provocam outros olhares sobre a cidade e sobre fazer pesquisa, configurando múltiplos percursos de aprendizagem sempre em processo.

O objeto geral desta pesquisa é o devir histórico-geográfico de largo espectro das sociedades mesoamericanas. Através dele se problematiza os fundamentos que animaram seu movimento de reprodução e formaram as condições objetivas de existência dos indígenas de Chiapas (México), onde o EZLN (Exército Zapatista de Libertação Nacional) tem por excelência seu campo de atuação. A investigação se concentra sobre a tendência integrativa do trabalho social em escalas progressivamente mais amplas, correpondendo a diferentes metabolismos geográficos em que as comunidades ameríndias eram configuradas ou mesmo descaracterizadas enquanto tais sob o imperativo de relações societárias supra-comunitárias, hierarquizadas e regionais. Este processo, em sua face colonial, desmontou e reestruturou radicalmente as territorialidades das sociedades ameríndias, atomizando e reduzindo sua organização territorial em comunidades locais de pequeno porte, ao passo que as articulava sob a ordem colonial da superexploração do trabalho a nível intercontinental. Esta integração-fragmentadora da formação territorial do México colonial engendrou elaborações étnico-identitárias, tanto singulares (grupos étnicos), quanto gerais (indígena), que se constituíram mediante tal geografia política colonial, muitas vezes radicando sua condição campesina, comunitária e autóctone como fundamento de sua própria etnicidade. A questão que se apresenta é a interrogação sobre o desenvolvimento histórico-geográfico das sociedades ameríndias na sua importância quanto ao entendimento do atual embate político em que os grupos e as comunidades estão inseridos em toda América Latina. A emergência e a atuação do movimento zapatista aparece como um ator insurgente, que permitiu um amplo processo de recuperação de terras indígenas mediante o levante armado de 1994, mas desde então tem sofrido uma feroz e sofisticada campanha de contra-insurgência protagonizada pelo Estado mexicano e seus apoiadores privados (nacionais e internacionais). O modo de vida indígena-comunitário passa a ser resignificado no âmbito de uma valorização étnico-cultural de sua ancestralidade, mas ao mesmo tempo é atravessado por processos fragmentadores que tensionam as bases e os laços da vida social comunitária. O metabolismo geográfico do capital monopolista transnacional reinsere os territórios indígenas sob uma geografia política altamente complexa, em que as configurações territoriais assumem um papel imperativo na normatização e no controle das práticas sociais e políticas. Por consequência da estrutura do metabolismo contemporâneo, a racionalização global-regional das geografias locais resulta em um grave problema cognitivo à elaboração da luta pelos atores locais, seja no campo ou na cidade, implicando dramaticamente sobre as possibilidades estratégicas do agir político. Este objeto específico é investigado em função do desenvolvimento das práticas políticas do EZLN, sobretudo, nos termos possíveis da ação regional e supra-comunitária. / The general object of this research is the broad historical and geographical becoming of Mesoamerican indigenous communities. Through it we discuss the fundamentals that inspired its playback movement and the formation of the objective conditions of existence of Chiapas\'s indigenous people (Mexico), where the EZLN (Zapatista Army of National Liberation) has quintessential their actuation\'s field. The investigation focuses on the integrative tendency of social work progressively in larger scales, the different geographical metabolisms in the Native American communities, largely were necessarily integrated. This process, in its colonial face, dismounted and seriously restructured the territoriality of Mesoamerican societies, atomizing and reducing its territorial organization in small local communities, while they were articulated under the colonial order of the overexploitation of labor in a inter-continental level. This fragmentary integration of the territorial formation of colonial Mexico engendered ethnic-identitarian elaborations, both singular (ethnic groups) and general (indigenous), which were constituted by such colonial political geography, often rooted in its peasant, communitarian and autochthonous condition as a foundation of their own ethnicity. The question that arises is the inquiry about the historical-geographic development of Amerindian societies in their importance in understanding the current political clash in which groups and communities are inserted throughout Latin America. The emergence and performance of the Zapatista movement appears later in this scenario as an insurgent actor, who allowed a broad process of recovery of indigenous lands by the armed uprising of 1994, but since has undergone a fierce and sophisticated campaign of counterinsurgency led by the Mexican State and its private backers (national and international). The Indian-communal way of life becomes reframed within an ethno-cultural appreciation of their ancestry, but at the same time is crossed by fragmenting processes tensioning the foundations and ties of community social life. The geographical metabolism of transnational monopolist capital reinserts indigenous territories in a highly complex political geography, where territorial settings play an imperative role in the regulation and control of social and political practices. As a result of the structure of contemporary metabolism, global-regional rationalization of local geographies results in a serious \"cognitive problem\" to the subjects in general, generating dramatic implications for strategic possibilities of political action. This particular object is investigated with the development of the EZLN\'s political practices, particularly on the possible terms of regional and supra-community action.

Ou seja, mostrar o seu “tornar-se o que se é” numa perspectiva que se apóia no pensamento do filósofo alemão Friedrich Nietzsche. O sentido de formação considerado por esse autor como devir, é algo que nunca se conclui, é sempre processo. O devir é um “movimento”, uma trajetória que não possui um objetivo pré-determinado ou um ponto de chegada. O devir dá-se em conflitos, afetos, certezas e inseguranças; enfim, dá-se nas vivências do professor. O presente trabalho focará o olhar nas vivências no espaço escolar, que, aqui, a partir da perspectiva da cosmologia de Nietzsche é um espaço de múltiplas forças em um incessante movimento e de infinitas possibilidades. A investigação de campo desse trabalho foi realizada em dois movimentos distintos: No primeiro movimento da pesquisa, as narrativas dos professores entrevistados são organizadas em temáticas, elaboradas em diálogo com diversos autores. O segundo movimento da pesquisa surgiu de uma revisão metodológica, em que houve um aprofundamento na compreensão do enfoque narrativo da pesquisa. Os professores foram, então, entrevistados em grupo, resultando em um texto narrativo, que se aproxima a um formato de hipertexto. Com esses dois movimentos da investigação, a dissertação pretende, por um lado, abrir possibilidades para se produzir diferentes perspectivas acerca da “formação do professor de matemática” e, por outro lado, lançar uma compreensão sobre o processo de constituição da pesquisa e da pesquisadora. / This work was conducted from interviews with teachers of mathematics education of the public network of Juiz de Fora (MG) and its proposal to understand the formation of the teacher on their experiences in school. In other words, show your "become what it is" a perspective that is based on the thought of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The sense of formal consideration by the author as becoming, it is something that never concludes, it is always process. This is becoming a "movement", a track that does not have a pre-determined goal or a point of arrival. The becoming gave up in conflicts, affection, certainties and uncertainties; finally gives up in the experiences of the teacher. This study focused look at the experiences in space school, which, here, from the perspective of cosmology, Nietzsche is a space of multiple forces in an incessant movement and infinite possibilities. A field investigation of this work was carried out in two distinct movements: In the first movement of the search, the narratives of the teachers interviewed are organized into topics, drawn up in consultation with various authors. The second movement of the research came from a review methodology, in which there was a deeper understanding of the narrative focus of the search. The teachers were then interviewed in groups, resulting in a text narrative, which is close to a form of hypertext. With these two movements of research, the dissertation seeks to, first, open up possibilities to produce different perspectives on the "formation of the professor of mathematics" and, furthermore, to launch an understanding on the process of formation of the research and researcher.

I denna undersökning tittar jag närmre på arbetet med självporträtt i skolan, en återkommandeuppgift i alla åldrar, som upprepas efter givna mönster. Det kan uppstå känsliga situationer i arbetetmed självporträtt och i uppvisandet av dem under redovisningar. Kanske för att utövandet avsjälvporträtt innehåller ett specifikt moment då man måste förhålla sig till sig själv som objekt ochsubjekt/konstnär och modell - på en och samma gång. Självporträtts-uppgifter i skolan är ofta starktkopplade till identitet då porträttet förväntas berätta något om en själv. Jag förhåller mig i dettaarbete till subjektet och till lärandet som någonting rörligt och utgår från Gert Biestas teorier omsubjektifiering. På så vis förskjuter jag diskursen kring identitet till diskursen kring subjektetstillblivelse. Min frågeställning har varit: Vilka dolda kunskaper kan uppstå i tecknandet avsjälvporträtt och varför uppstår de?, samt; Vad händer i tecknande-processen då den somtecknar är både subjekt och objekt? Hur påverkar det subjektets tillblivelse?För att söka svar på min frågeställning gör jag fältstudier hos en sjundeklass på en skola iStockholm under deras arbete med en självporträttsuppgift som heter Insida-utsida. Min empiribestår i transkriberat material från en intervju med elevernas lärare, fältanteckningar från deltagandeobservation i klassrummet och material från en workshop som jag själv höll med några av eleverna.Som avstamp till min undersökning har jag utgått från en auto-etnografisk studie, i vilken jag underfyra veckors tid tecknade ett självporträtt om dagen och simultant antecknade tankar som for genommitt huvud. Detta för att få förståelse för vad eleven kan uppleva i sin process.På Konstfacks utställning, som detta år är digital på grund av Covid- 19, gör jag en slutliggestaltning i form av ett filmat performance inspirerat av citat från eleverna som uppkom underderas arbete med självporträtt. Även delar av min auto-etnografiska undersökning och elevexempelfrån workshopen visas. Jag använder mig av ett a/r/togrfiskt förhållningssätt och skiftar självsubjektposition mellan konstnär, forskare och lärare för att se vad som uppkommer i mellanrummenmellan dessa positioner. Genom att undersöka självporträtt i skolan ur ovan nämnda teorier ochperspektiv ämnar jag bidra med nya sätt att se på uppgiften.

Under min utbildning har tankar kring elevers placering i klassrummet ofta lyfts. Visualiserar jag dessa tankar ser jag framför mig en spelplan där läraren frenetiskt flyttar runt elever likt spelpjäser. Spelplanen – klassrummet – kan här ses som något passivt som fylls med mening av mänskliga aktörer – lärare och elever. Jag vill dock i denna studie närma mig en bildpedagogisk kontext utifrån ett posthumanistiskt perspektiv, där den fysiska omgivningen förstås som medskapande aktör i människors meningsskapande processer. Jag väljer därför att undersöka relationen mellan stol och kropp inom en bildpedagogisk kontext; både gymnasieelevers relation till stolar i en bildsal, samt min egen kropps relation till den röda karaktäristiska Konstfacksstolen. Studien görs i syfte att undersöka hur stolen kan förstås i relation till gymnasieelevers skapande i en bildsal, samt att tillsammans med eleverna synliggöra och utforska deras relation till stolen som materialitet. Studien blir relevant för det bildpedagogiska fältet då elevers skapande i bildsalen enligt mig ofta görs i relation till stolar. Studiens frågeställningar är Hur kan stolen förstås som konstituerande fenomen inom en bildpedagogisk kontext?; Hur kan stolen förstås som performativ aktör i tillblivelseprocesser inom en bildpedagogisk kontext?; samt Hur kan stolen förstås som orientering och materialiserad norm inom en bildpedagogisk kontext?. Undersökningen genomförs på en gymnasieskola där empiri insamlas genom: en deltagande observation, en deltagande observation där bildsalens förutsättningar modifieras, en semistrukturerad intervju med elever, samt en workshop där eleverna undersöker stolar utifrån olika påståenden och fotodokumenterar resultatet. Bilderna används sedan vid en bildelicitering. I undersökningens gestaltande del undersöker jag hur jag kan förkroppsliga elevernas utforskande strategier och koreograferar mitt varande med Konstfacksstolen genom att rikta vår relation mot det-ännu-icke-artikulerade. I undersökningen finner jag att stolen utifrån en posthumanistisk ingång kan förstås som aktör i relation till kropp inom en bildpedagogisk kontext, samt att stolen som del av fenomen oavsett bruk av mänskliga aktörer kan förstås som något som orienterar och materialiserar kroppar. Undersökningen kommuniceras genom en uppsats samt visas i Konstfacks digitala vårutställnings online-katalog. En tryckt katalog publiceras även i samband med utställningen.

The artistic research, Kehrä/ Kehrae is done together with Myrsky Rönkä, with significant ropes, places and spaces, creatures and histories. This paper is subtitled entwining possible worlds. It implies alternative possibilities for prevailing modern western ways to live and die and circus. There are three big questions in the air: What is the meaning of circus? What does it mean to be alive? And how could circus care (the existence of life within the earth)? The starting point was a concern about the troubling state of life and the world how it is today and how the modern western circus felt paradoxical and incapable of responding to the current times in sustainable ways. The initial question was, how to combine circus and other aspects of life into one sustainable, or regenerative and renewable practice. In order to seek other, latent realities this research goes beyond modern western circus history, beyond modern western worldview, and beyond “ordinary” circus practice.  The guiding idea is: life is circus, circus is life. Therefore the practice in this research is a collection of “whatever we were doing”. To mention some with great importance: whirling, meditation, becoming-with rope, making and mapping space with ropes and strings, dwelling with nature, and sauna. The other idea is to go through liminality and evoke communitas, with circus practice, bodies, ropes, and others.  This means abandoning accustomed ways to train and think about circus and life. Because of its nature, this work is also opening up what could spiritual (circus) practice mean as an alternative to a mechanistic way of thinking and making. The ontology of this research is animistic and relational, which suggests care, respect, reciprocity, and response-ability in all of our relations and takes into account the circulative nature of time and life. Animistic ontology takes materiality and skill towards the idea of becoming-with, when becoming into who and what happens in relational material-semiotic worlding. During the process, some specific features, or dwelling places for circus, emerged. Those are circus and play, circus and liminality, circus and shamanism, circus and others. In these dwelling places lies the deep powers of circus to be inversive and subversive, simultaneously transformative and sustaining: the mythical power of circus. Through the final artistic outcome Kehrä/ Kehrae, this paper is entwining the strings of the research together as a temporary gathering to be unraveled and intertwined into one again.

Jan Suk The Poetics of Immanence: Performance Theatre of Forced Entertainment Abstract The present dissertation thesis examines the multi-faceted nature of the devised as well as durational works of the British experimental theatre Forced Entertainment via the thought of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The aim of the thesis is to explore the transformation- potentiality of the territory between the actors and the spectators. The transformativity of this interspace, or the territory in-between, is decodable namely via Forced Entertainment's performances' structural patterns, sympathy fostering aesthetics, virtual audience integration and accentuated emphasis of the now. The application of Deleuze's philosophy, chiefly the phenomenon of immanence, results in the definition of the poetics of immanence, whose operation enables the transformativity of theatrical space to be terminologically embraced. After delineating crucial terms, such as performance and theatre, live art, or postdramatic theatre, the initial chapter contextualizes Forced Entertainment as the pivotal experimental theatre group; the chapter further conducts an analysis of relevant critical literature in performance and theatre theory discourse. Chapter two provides a deeper contextualising study of the most significant Deleuzoguattarian...
