This doctoral thesis examines how modernisation affects and is affected by existing local culture and identity. It is about the relation between the social and mental barriers experienced, expressed and manifested in the social culture of local community, and modernisation’s dynamic powers over time. The thesis deals with different time periods from the 1800’s until today with regard to expressions and consequences of modernity. People during the societal transformation of Sweden in the 19th and 20th centuries are culturally depicted from a micro-perspective. An overall perspective for the analysis of modernity uses the concepts of basal and variable modernity, borrowed from the historian of ideas Sven-Eric Liedman. The perspective makes possible the separation between on the one hand the structural modernisation within the fields of economy, technology and natural sciences, and on the other hand the cultural modernity manifested in conceptions of the world, politics, existential viewpoints, aesthetic expressions and social culture. Within the first-mentioned fields, where basal modernity dominates, a uniform and cumulative developmental pattern emerges as well as an almost self-propelled continuity toward the next innovation or stage of development. Within the latter fields, however, a non-uniform pattern emerges, where modernisation is constantly the object of alternative interpretations and attitudes. This variable modernity is characterised by a cultural struggle between conflicting ideologies and strategies in relation to ongoing modernisation. Different individuals and groups position themselves between acceptance and resistance, progressiveness and the critique of civilisation, the preservation of traditions and the will to change. In this course of events new affinities and identifications, but also new dissociations and antagonisms are created in local social contexts. Modernity leads both to the obliteration of boundaries and to the emergence of new social and mental boundaries. This process can also lead to existing geographical borders being charged with a new ideological content so their importance is revitalised.

Entendemos que isso acarretaria num ciclo vicioso que não permitiria uma análise radical da sociologia como proposta científica. Já os estudos marxistas, em sua maioria, foram aplicados por uma perspectiva gnosiológica - que é caracterizada pelo deslocamento da prioridade do conhecimento para o sujeito em vez de reconhecer a prioridade ontológica do objeto. Por esses motivos, propomos nessa exposição uma explanação da crítica do marxista György Lukács à sociologia. Esta se caracteriza pelo resgate da perspectiva ontológica em Marx, ou seja, no reconhecimento de que o arcabouço marxiano está edificado sobre uma ontologia do ser social fundada no trabalho. Com isso, permite resgatar a crítica radical e revolucionária instaurada por Marx e, portanto, demonstrar que mais que interpretar, precisamos transformar o mundo / Several considerations were made on Sociology as a private discipline, but most of them starting from the sociological perspective itself. We believe that this will lead to a vicious cycle that would not allow a radical analysis of sociology as a scientific proposal. The studies Marxists, most of them were applied by an epistemological perspective - which is characterized by shifting the priority of knowledge for the subject instead of recognizing the ontological priority of the object. For these reasons, we propose an explanation at the exhibition of György Lukács critique of sociology. This is characterized by the rescue of the ontological perspective in Marx, namely the recognition that the Marxian framework is built upon an ontology of social being founded in the work. Thus, the radical critique has rescued and brought revolutionary Marx and, therefore, show that more than interpret, we must transform the world

As a corpus, we use one of the works of E?a de Queiroz, The City and the Mountains. Served as theoretical references the Claude Levi-Strauss s concept of universal culinary and the Jean Claude Fischler s concept of specific culinary who understands food as a cultural system which includes representations, beliefs and practices of a specific group. After the initial reading of the novel and construction of a file containing general information of the work, categories designed for elaboration of a material for analysis were these: work, characters, food, intellectuals and geographies. We realized the culinary as an epicenter for understanding the culture of a specific group: in this case, the bourgeois. We proposed a quaternary model for systematizing it: this bourgeois cuisine highlights the technique, has affection for what is rare and/or expensive but still consume it with temperance, establishing a new relationship with the use of time and, finally, it is the one that opens the ritual that involves frequent restaurants and cafes. The exercise of thinking the bourgeois cuisine through the literature suggests that the art may work on increase the comprehensive capabilities of nutritionists, professionals who deal with a complex object in your practice: the food / Utilizar a literatura para problematizar o tema da alimenta??o, propriamente a cozinha burguesa, foi o prop?sito deste trabalho.

Serviram como referenciais te?ricos o conceito de cozinha universal de Claude L?vi-Strauss, al?m daquele apresentado pelo soci?logo Jean Claude Fischler que a compreende como um sistema cultural alimentar que comporta representa??es, cren?as e pr?ticas de um grupo espec?fico. Ap?s a leitura inicial do romance e constru??o de um arquivo com informa??es gerais sobre a obra, espacialidades para elabora??o de um material de an?lise foram assim pensadas a priori: a obra, personagens, comidas, intelectuais e geografias.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A pesquisa desenvolvida nesta dissertaÃÃo tem por objetivo fundamental analisar a sociedade civil-burguesa no pensamento de Karl Marx. Desta forma, perpassaremos por diversas obras de Marx pertinentes a esta temÃtica, desde o juvenil ensaio de 1843, conhecida por CrÃtica da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel, atà sua madura obra O Capital, de 1867. Delineia-se, entÃo, que a metodologia privilegiada à a pesquisa bibliogrÃfica, eminentemente teÃrica. Reconhecendo que Marx passou por um profundo processo de influÃncia e revisÃo filosÃfica, especialmente das filosofias de Hegel e Feuerbach, a primeira problemÃtica a enfrentar versarà sobre os pressupostos teÃricos do desenvolvimento marxiano do conceito de sociedade civil-burguesa. Sendo assim, preliminarmente, perpassaremos pela filosofia de Hegel, por meio da obra PrincÃpios da Filosofia do Direito, de 1820. Em seguida, abordaremos a filosofia materialista de Feuerbach, detidamente nas obras PrincÃpios da Filosofia do Futuro (1843) e Para a CrÃtica da Filosofia de Hegel (1839). Em seguida, passaremos pelas obras filosÃficas de Marx conhecidas como de juventude. Essas obras serÃo a CrÃtica da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel, IntroduÃÃo à CrÃtica da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel (1844) e Sobre a QuestÃo Judaica (1843). Serà importante abordar a problemÃtica sobre as influÃncias das filosofias de Hegel e Feuerbach, pois no prÃximo momento, ou seja, no segundo capÃtulo, serà abordada a crÃtica de Marx à especulaÃÃo neohegeliana, vinculando-a ao posicionamento marxiano acerca da sociedade civil-burguesa, utilizando a obra de Marx A Sagrada FamÃlia ou A CrÃtica da CrÃtica CrÃtica: Contra Bruno Bauer e Consortes, de 1845. Dando prosseguimento, a pesquisa dissertativa enfrentarà a problemÃtica histÃrica e econÃmica de Marx relacionada à sociedade civil-burguesa por meio dos Manuscritos EconÃmico-FilosÃficos, escritos em 1844. Nesta mesma perspectiva, a prÃxima obra a ser explorada serà A Ideologia AlemÃ. Nesta obra, escrita entre 1845 e 1846, em conjunto com Engels, encontraremos a conceituaÃÃo acabada da sociedade civil-burguesa em Marx, considerada na concretude da esfera de produÃÃo. Por fim, encerraremos este estudo problematizando a sociedade civil-burguesa em seu funcionamento. Conforme esclarece Marx no prefÃcio da ContribuiÃÃo à CrÃtica da Economia PolÃtica (1859), a anatomia da sociedade civil-burguesa à encontrada na economia polÃtica. EntÃo, encerrando a pesquisa, estudaremos O Capital, obra onde à possÃvel levantar a hipÃtese de que a anÃlise crÃtica de Marx sobre a economia polÃtica reafirma sua concepÃÃo filosÃfica de que a sociedade civil-burguesa como a matriz ontolÃgica do todo social.

AFRIKAANS: Magersfontein, o Magersfontein! vertoon veral twee fasette van die realisme, naamlik kritiese realisme en sosiale realisme, met satire as die medium en ironie as die “Point of view”. Die roman teken nie alleen sekere lyne van die sosiale ontwikkelingspatroon oor geslagte heen nie, maar is ook en veral 'n aanval op bourgeois-eienskappe wat in die ontwikkelingsgang as verwerende en selfs vernietigende elemente voorkom. Sodanige eienskappe is die skyf van die satire. Die roman is gebaseer op die Slag van Magersfontein 1899, en die besoek van 'n TV-span en filmspan wat die beroemde Slag wil laat herbelewe. In gekonstrueerde ironie word die Slag, as die bovlak, teen die projekgangers as prototipes van die nageslagte van die helde van weleer, as die ondervlak gestel. As agtergrond dien die dorre vlaktes van Magersfontein, simbolies van die geestelike dood, dus die malaise van ons tyd. Die steriele karakters wat daarteen beweeg, word nie op tradisionele romanmatige wyse uitgebeeld nie, maar stel as meerkantige figure, 'n tema, 'n denkrigting, 'n groep of ‘n instelling voor, waarin bepaalde bourgeois-eienskappe voorkom wat onder die soeklig van die satire kom. Sodoende belig Leroux die oorsake van die malaise as synde kleinlikheid, selfbedrog, eiewaan, wensdenkery, snobisme, huigelary en hebsug. Die verkrummeling van die aristokrasie, een van die belangrikste oorsake van die toename in bourgeois-elemente, word in Lords Sudden en Se1dom uitgebee1d. Le Grange verteenwoordig die Staat as skepping van 'n vlytige bourgeoisie wat 'n liggaam in die lewe wou roep wat met die organisasie verbonde aan ekonomiese en tegniese vooruitgang, vir hulle tot hulp kon wees. Mr. Shipmaster, wat onder andere die organisasiemens verteenwoordig, kan ironies nie organiseer nie en 1eun a1 meer op die “Staat” dat die vir hom sy 1ewe gemak1i ker kan maak. Die satiriese spot lê in die ontaarding van die staat van ‘n geordende instelling tot ‘n burokrasie en uiteindelik tot ‘n militêre Staat. In Mr. Shipmaster word onder andere getoon hoe by gebrek aan inspanning, die leiersfiguur onder die invloed van ‘n massakultuur wat uit die bourgeoisie se massaproduksie ontstaan het, tot ‘n massamens kan degenereer. Op soortgelyke wyse word die ander karakters in die roman gebruik om op die verwerende elemente te wys. 'n Storm dreig, wat van 'n komende oordee1 getuig en die verskil1ende karakters se reaksie daarop is ook verskillend, net soos by die latere oorstromings. Die bee1d word een van 'n toenemende geeste1ike nood en die wetenskap in die persoon van die Man van Waterwese kom met sy helikopter (Tegniek) om die noodgeteisterdes te red. Die gebrek aan kommunikasie word toonbeeld van verskille in waardes; sy poging is 'n mislukking - hoe kan die wetenskap die taal van die siel in nood ken en verstaan? Intussen vorm 'n meer tussen die koppies waarop die noodgeteisterdes saamdrom. Die meer kan verstaan word as simboo1 van die psigies-herstelde mens. In die stadium tree Aristophanes Pompidous, wat as skrywer in die roman gekonstitueer is, vrywillig na vore om 'n simbo1iese sterwe-tot -die-1ewe te volvoer, ooreenkomstig die Griekse mite van Dionuses. Die waterbee1d is in die Christelike godsdiens ook ten nouste verbonde aan die aflegging van sonde in die Doop as verbond, wat wedergeboorte impliseer. Die boek eindig met die positiewe gedagte dat vo1kome herstel, dus hergeboorte wat herlewing inhou, moont1ik is uit die bee1d van 'n herstelde wêreld waarvan Lord Sudden ‘n visioen het vanuit die ballon. Die eens barre vlaktes van Magersfontein vertoon ten slotte aan hom (en die leser) die beeld van ‘n vrugbare, waterryke vallei. ENGLISH: The novel, Magersfonteint, o Magersfontein! by Etienne Leroux is an example of social realism and of critical realism, with satire as medium and irony as point of view. Thus the novel highlights the direction taken in social development in modern times, and also attacks those bourgeois characteristics that act as corrosive elements in this development. These characteristics form the butt of the satire in the novel. The novel is based on the Battle of Magersfontein 1899, and the attempt of a TV- and filmgroup to re-enact this battle on the actual terrain. Depicting the heroes who took part in the batt1e the author has pitched prototypes of the descendants of these heroes. The barren flats of Magersfontein, symbol of the malaise of our times, form the background against which these sterile characters move, partrayed as they are to represent aspects of borgeois society in themes, philosophies, groups and even institutions. In this manner Leroux exposes the causes for the existing malaise as being pettiness, self-deceit, wishful thinking, snobbery, hypocrisy and greed. The book, however, ends on a positive note, with the possibility of the complete restoration of man in a fleeting glimpse of the once desolate valley now looking fertile, filled with beauty and blessed with rain. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / Afrikaans / unrestricted

Trata-se de perceber como sua arte possibilita elaborar críticas ao modelo falogocêntrico do feminino e, simultaneamente, abre possibilidades para a criação de formas múltiplas das subjetividades das mulheres. A produção de sentidos para as obras é realizada a partir de uma orientação teórica e metodológica feminista e pós estruturalista, apresentada, principalmente, nos escritos de Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Suely Rolnik, Rosi Braidotti, Norma Telles, Tania Swain, Margareth Rago e Michelle Perrot / Abstract: This research addresses the artistic production of Louise Bourgeois, focusing on the corporal forms expressed in in her pieces. It pertains the perception of how her art enables the possibility to criticize the phallogocentric model of feminine and, simultaneously, allows the creation of multiple forms on the women subjectivity.

Deye mo-n se mo-n is a proverb in Haiti that roughly translates to "Beyond the mountains, more mountains." This saying holds a deep meaning to the Haitian peoples, who have lived through unrelenting violence and poverty. In its 200 years of independence, Haiti's inhabitants have seldom known a decade without political violence. Like the chain of mountains, political violence in Haiti seems to go on forever with no end in sight. Not only are the devastating effects of violence felt within politics, but also in the economic and social sectors of the country. The collapse of these sectors has created a predatory democracy which fails to provide for the population but rather enriches political elites who fight for the control of power and ignore their civic duties. The result of the political infighting, corruption, and weak governance has left Haiti the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. A recent conflict which continues to have negative effects in the country is the 1991 military coup d'etat. The source of the coup was the political classes' constant fight for the control of power. The consequences of the coup are the collapse of the sectors previously mentioned. This has led to a country's struggle to reestablish functioning political, economic, and social institutions. Through secondary literary sources, online journals, and biographies, the causes and negative effects of the coup will be explored in hopes of illustrating the overall proximate and underlying causes of political violence in Haiti. This research will eventually lead to the exploration of different institutional reforms which needs to be enforced to break the cycle of violence.

Pour respecter les droits d’auteur, la version électronique de ce mémoire a été dépouillée de ses documents visuels et audio-visuels. La version intégrale du mémoire a été déposée au Service de la gestion des documents et des archives de l'Université de Montréal / Le présent mémoire de maîtrise étudie la fortune critique de l'artiste états-unienne d'origine française Louise Bourgeois. Il suit le parcours de l'artiste vers une reconnaissance critique et publique plutôt tardive, et une consécration comme figure importante de l'art de la deuxième moitié du 20e siècle. Favorisant une approche historiographique qui porte attention au genre d’écrits comme les survols et les monographies, il procède à l'analyse d'ouvrages concernant la place de Bourgeois dans le cadre des histoires de la sculpture moderne et des textes de nature diverse (historiques, théoriques et critiques) émanant de la mouvance féministe en art, avant de considérer les études réservées exclusivement à la trajectoire de Bourgeois et au développement de son œuvre. Plus largement, cette étude propose d'examiner les subtilités de la construction d'un réseau d'interprétations qui puisse répondre de la complexité d'une production artistique s'étalant sur près de soixante-dix ans, faisant appel à une grande variété de matériaux non conventionnels, oscillant entre la fascination pour la figure totémique et l’installation, tout en résistant aux classifications conventionnelles de mouvements et d’écoles, de même qu’à celles de développements formels et stylistiques continus. / This master's thesis is a study of the French born American artist Louise Bourgeois' critical review. More precisely, it considers the artist’s progress from her beginnings as an American sculptor in the forties to her critical but albeit late public recognition as an important figure in the art of the second half of the twentieth century. From a historiographical perspective, and working with texts dealing with modern sculpture in the U.S.A., feminism in the visual arts and more specifically the career of Bourgeois, we want to examine the situation of this artist amidst the different interpretations of her artworks. This study proposes to look at the subtleties in the construction of a web of interpretations. This web, we will see, is as complex as the production of an artist who created for more than seventy years. The intent of the first chapter is to grasp the position occupied by Bourgeois in some of the major texts constituting the history of modern sculpture. This overview will lead us to the second chapter where we will analyze the manner Bourgeois' work is addressed by feminist literature and practice. In this context, and by the fact that Bourgeois revealed tragic aspects of her childhood at the turn of the eighties, we will seek to understand the changes in the way her work has been perceived. The third chapter focuses on the study of the artist’s national and international recognition in parallel to the monographs having her as their main subject. Those texts, which have been often tied to biographical writing, reassess in a certain way the old concept of the mythical artist.
