Diversos estudiosos apontaram a proximidade das realizações de contistas brasileiros com a obra de Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893). Nesta tese, propomos um estudo paralelo da contística de Maupassant com a obra de oito escritores, que produziram a maior parte de seus textos entre 1880 e 1940: Lúcio de Mendonça, Medeiros e Albuquerque, Simões Lopes Neto, Monteiro Lobato, Lima Barreto, Viriato Correia, Gastão Cruls e Ribeiro Couto. Nosso objetivo é avaliar como ocorreu a recepção criativa do escritor francês nesse período, no Brasil, por meio da observação dos que o leram e o citam em suas obras. Na primeira parte, fazemos um estudo do conjunto da obra de Guy de Maupassant, de cada gênero a que o escritor se dedicou, o que nos fornece uma visão aprofundada e de conjunto de sua poética. A partir de uma tipologia de suas narrativas curtas, em que se valoriza sua riqueza e variedade de formas e temas, sugerimos uma abordagem comparativa com os escritores brasileiros, que nos ocupa na segunda parte deste trabalho. Nos capítulos dedicados a cada escritor brasileiro em questão, fazemos uma apresentação de nomes e obras, na maioria das vezes pouco conhecidos do público em geral, pois pouco referidos em manuais de literatura brasileira ou em estudos sobre o conto no Brasil. Com exceção de Simões Lopes Neto, Monteiro Lobato e Lima Barreto, os demais contistas possuem ainda raros estudos a respeito de suas obras, constatação que aqui pretendemos ajudar a corrigir. A seleção dos textos brasileiros estudados reflete o duplo movimento da argumentação da tese comparativa com o conto maupassantiano e o da valorização de narrativas exemplares de contistas brasileiros, hoje injustamente esquecidos. Se esse grupo de escritores obteve, por meio da leitura de Maupassant, uma motivação para a criação de seus contos, por outro lado, colaboraram individualmente para a escrita de obras-primas bastante originais no gênero, no Brasil de seu tempo. O momento aqui recortado revela diversos nomes importantes que, juntos ao de Machado de Assis, contribuíram para a firmação do conto brasileiro. / Several scholars have pointed out the proximity of the work of Brazilian writers with the Guy de Maupassants canon (1850-1893). In this work, we propose a parallel study of Maupassant short stories with the work of eight writers, who produced most of their writings from 1880 and 1940: Lúcio de Mendonca, Medeiros e Albuquerque, Simões Lopes Neto, Monteiro Lobato, Lima Barreto, Viriato Correia, Gastão Cruls and Ribeiro Couto. Our goal is to evaluate how the creative response of the French writer was during this period, in Brazil, through the reading of those who read and cited him in their works. In the first part, the study of Guy de Maupassants complete work and each genre that the writer devoted himself will provide an in-depth understanding of his poetry. In the second part, from a typology of his short stories, in which its richness and variety of shapes and themes are valued, we suggest a comparison with the Brazilian writers. In chapters devoted to each Brazilian writer in question, we do a presentation of names and works, mostly little known to the general public, as referenced in some manuals of Brazilian literature or studies on the short story in Brazil. With the exception of Simões Lopes Neto, Monteiro Lobato and Lima Barreto, there are few studies about the works of the other storytellers, finding that here we intend to help correct. The selection of the Brazilian texts reflects the double movement of the argument of this work comparing with the narrative of maupassantian short stories and the appreciation of outstanding Brazilian storytellers, today unjustly forgotten. If this group of writers were motivated by reading Maupassant on the one hand, on the other hand they collaborated individually for writing highly original masterpieces in the genre of their time in Brazil. The moment studied in this work reveals several important names who, along with Machado de Assis, contributed to establishing the Brazilian short story.

當創新不再被視為全新的發明，而更近似於既有資源的重新組合，資源重組（recombination）便成為創新的重要來源。當企業的資源有限時，有一派學者主張運用隨創（bricolage）概念，就地取材地為既有資源賦予全新價值。不過，當組織內部的資源不多，重組之後所得到的創新也相對有限。因此，另一派學者主張從組織外部連結跨域資源，整合各方之長的仲介（brokerage）觀點，在許多知名企業紛紛採用之後，霎時之間蔚為主流。然而，過去對於仲介的研究，大多聚焦於資源重組的過程，卻忽略了企業所面臨的情境制約（constraint）。 有別一般的困難，制約根深蒂固於情境（context）之中，涵蓋的範圍極廣，單一企業往往難以獨力排除，故問題解決（problem-solving）的思維不易奏效。企業如何在制約之下發展創新，是過去的研究較少著墨之處，因此我們對於企業如何回應制約的瞭解相當有限。本研究由制約對創新者的影響切入，強調創新者如何在制約之下仲介資源，並且創意地回應制約，進而發展出「借力使力」的仲介方式，不僅化解制約的阻礙，也透過資源的重新整合，從既有的資源中創造新的價值。 本研究選擇國內某知名媒體集團A公司旗下的B集團為個案公司，B集團深耕活動事業多年，媒體背景為其建立廣博的社會網絡，使其在仲介各方資源時更加順利，因而發展出與眾不同的創意回應。本論文的研究問題為：「企業在面臨制約的情況下，如何仲介資源以回應制約？」本研究以個案公司在2009年底至2010年初所舉辦的梵谷畫展作為研究個案，深入企業以訪談法蒐集資料，採用詮釋型的質性研究方法，分析策展人如何仲介各方資源，借力使力地回應情境制約，使展覽順利舉辦。最後，本研究從策展人回應制約的仲介歷程中，歸納出三種創意回應的設計原則。本研究於學理上的貢獻有二：首先，本研究呈現創新者在制約之下的仲介歷程，補強過去研究較少著墨之處，進而豐富仲介理論的內涵；其次，本研究將創新者透過仲介作為回應制約的過程，作為一種創意回應的形式，進而豐富了創意回應的理論意涵。 / When innovation is regarded as resources combination rather than novel invention, recombination therefore becomes the origin of innovation. One school demonstrated the concept of 『Bricolage』, which transfers existed resources into new values, however, it would be limited if resources are insufficient. The other school referred to 『Brokerage』, which brokers the resources outside the organization and creates new combinations through diversified resources. Nevertheless, most of relative researches focus on the process of recombination, which led to disregarding the constraints met by enterprises. Unlike normal barriers or challenges, constraints in the context are hard to removed for enterprise with insufficient resources. Due to the pervasive effectiveness of constraints, the problem-solving concept may not work well when it is applied to this issue. That is to say, how enterprises innovate under constraints is the issue neglected by past researches. Hence, this research mainly focuses on how innovator brokers diversified resources to respond to constraints creatively. Then we find that a type of brokerage named 『leverage through brokerage』. By this type of brokerage, innovators could respond to the effectiveness of constraints, and create new values through the recombination of existing resources. This research chooses B group, which belongs to a leading media company in Taiwan, as our research case. Rather than ineffective problem-solving ability of enterprise, this research cuts to the point from the effects to innovators in such constraints. B group has devoted into curation industry for many years, it tends to be easier to broker resources from different stakeholders and develop unique creativity since its media background and wide social networks. This research explains: When an enterprise confronts constraints, how does it broker resources to respond such constraints? This research chose 『Van Gogh exhibition』 held from 2009 to 2010 as a case study, adopting deeper research by interviews and using interpretation as qualitative research method, trying to analyze how curator broker resources from different stakeholders and leverage them to respond constraints. Finally, this research generalizes three creative responses as design principles from the curator's responding process to the constraints. The findings of this research demonstrate two academic contributions: (1) Different from past research, this case focuses more on the process of the brokerage when an enterprise try to innovate under constraints, therefore enriches the Brokerage theory. (2) This case concludes the process of curator's responding to constraints through brokerage as a way of creative response, hence complements the creative response theory.

How we approach a poem changes it. Recently, it has been suggested that one readerly approach - a bodily orientation characterised by distance, suspicion, and resistance - risks becoming reflexive, pre-conscious, and predominant. This use-oriented reading allows us to destabilise, denaturalise, dissect, defend, and define poetic texts through its manifestation in contemporary literary critique, yet it is coming to be regarded as the sole manner and mood of intelligent, intellectual engagement. In this thesis, I demonstrate the need to pluralise this attentive orientation, particularly when it comes to contemporary lyric poetry. I suggest how an overlooked mode of response might foster a more receptive mode of approach: the 'co-creative' response. Lyric poems mean to move us, and they come to mean by moving us. Recent 'simulation theories of language comprehension', from the field of cognitive neuroscience, provide empirical evidence that language processing is not a product of a-modal symbol manipulation but rather involves 'simulations' by certain classes of neurons in areas used for real-world action and perception. As habituation and abstraction increase, however, these embodied simulations 'streamline', becoming narrow schematic 'shadows' of once broad, qualitatively rich simulations. Poems, I suggest, seek to reverse this process by situationally novel variations of language, coming to mean in the broadly embodied sense in which real-world experiences 'mean'. Readers are asked to 'enact' the poem, to 'co-create' its meaning. Where critique traditionally requires that readers resist enactive participation in the aim of objective analysis, the co-creative response - a response 'in kind' by imitation, versioning, or hommage - asks readers to receive and carry forward the enactive unfolding of a poem with a composition of their own. I assert that, by thus responding with - rather than to - poems, we might foster an attentive stance of active receptivity, thereby coming to understand poems as the enactive phenomena they are.
