They are produced as from a language directed to the other and are signs to be interpreted, in constant circulation in the culture. The psychoanalysis theoretical reference, of freudian and Lacanian approach, is used, as well as operators of a theory of artistic creation of peircean semiotic basis, based in the studies of genetic criticism and process criticism. The relationship between the psychoanalysis and the artistic communication is fundamentally marked by the analysis of the unconscious implications in the content of the artistic works, in the creator and in the esthetical effect on the other. This thesis displaces the analysis from the work to the creative process and its relationship with the constitution of the subjectivity. The poetic projects of two contemporary Brazilian plastic artists, Norma Grinberg and Sergio Fingermann, are analyzed as from the communications made by the artists themselves on their creation process in texts in the printed media. What is shown is that these artists poetic project is built as from the desire marks, constituted by the language; it is also shown that the work and the subject are built in a processual and joint way, as from a permanent communication process which holds what is made language and the incommunicable / Esta tese pretende demonstrar que a obra artística e o sujeito criador fazem parte de um processo comunicacional, tanto por se produzirem a partir de uma linguagem dirigida ao outro, como por serem eles próprios signos a serem interpretados, em constante circulação na cultura. Utiliza-se o referencial teórico da psicanálise, de abordagem freudiana e lacaniana, e operadores de uma teoria da criação artística de base semiótica peirceana, sustentada nos estudos da crítica genética e da crítica de processo. A relação entre psicanálise e comunicação artística é fundamentalmente marcada pela análise das implicações inconscientes no conteúdo das obras artísticas, no criador e no efeito estético sobre o outro. Esta tese desloca a análise da obra para a do processo criativo e sua relação com a constituição da subjetividade. São analisados os projetos poéticos de dois artistas plásticos contemporâneos brasileiros: Norma Grinberg e Sergio Fingermann, a partir de comunicações feitas pelos próprios artistas sobre seus processos de criação em textos da mídia impressa. O que se mostra é que o projeto poético destes artistas se constrói a partir de marcas do desejo, constituídas pela linguagem e que a obra e o sujeito se constroem de forma processual e conjunta, a partir de um processo de comunicação permanente que comporta o que se faz linguagem e o incomunicável

This study will provide the reveal very important discussions to the varietal cream of society on practical and learning from capoeira universe, as well as whitening issue from art-fight. I believe that the intellectual group from the period embraced were the responsible for the cultural assimilation from the whitening capoeira practice, transforming it in an activity based on notions like civilization, modernization and patterns, distant to the afro-descendent cultural universe where the capoeira was born. I utilized the published books by the intellectual as historic fonts; as well the periodic press that divulgated and painted the capoeira as the look and speech originated on the dominant groups, compare on the search to look for equals or differencing points of view. To the end of this research, I could identify the change on treatment and even on the divulgation of capoeira, as been presented as civilized sport, turning it away from the trickery from the old capoeira players, back from the slavery period / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar o olhar e o discurso dos intelectuais que analisaram a capoeira no período 1885-1910, caracterizando-a como crime previsto em lei, posteriormente projetando-a como luta nacional, entendida como esporte civilizado. Esta pesquisa possibilitará realizar importantes discussões junto aos diversos grupos de capoeira atualmente, uma vez que ainda questiona-se o papel dos grupos elitizados no universo da prática e ensino da capoeira, bem como a questão do branqueamento da arte-luta. Acredito que os intelectuais do período abrangido foram os responsáveis pela assimilação cultural da prática da capoeira branqueando-a, tornando-a assim uma atividade baseada em noções como civilização, modernização e padrão, alheias ao universo cultural afro-descendente, do qual a capoeira nasceu. Utilizei como fontes históricas os livros publicados pelos intelectuais, bem como a imprensa periódica que divulgava e retratava a capoeira conforme o olhar e o discurso hegemônicos originados nos grupos dominantes, comparando-os na busca por pontos em comum e/ou divergentes. Ao término da pesquisa, pude identificar a mudança no tratamento e na própria divulgação da capoeira, sendo apresentada como esporte civilizado, desligando-a da prática da malandragem dos capoeiras antigos, do período da escravidão

Proposes his hypothesis about th origin of life relating the biological evolution mainly the Natural Selection Theory of Charles Darwin with the Dialectic Materialism of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. There are some disagreements about the nature of such relation, which is considered by some authors coherent and by others just adequate to political pressures of the Stanilist regime in the former Soviet Union. From a comparative analysis between the books of Engels mainly Dialectic of Nature, in with his conception of nature and dialectic materialism are present and Oparin s articles, this work shows that such concepts helped Oparin to develop his lage hypothesis with a sophistication in terms of argument, to the philosophical point of view as well as experimental / O bioquímico russo Alexandre Ivanovicth Oparin publica, em 1924, na antiga União Soviética, um artigo contendo sua hipótese acerca de um ponto considerado nevrálgico da história da biologia: o problema da origem da vida na Terra.

Há divergências quanto à natureza de tal relação, considerada, por alguns autores, coerente e, por outros, forçada por pressões políticas presentes no contexto em que Oparin viveu, sob o regime stalinista da antiga União Soviética. A partir de uma análise comparativa entre os livros de Engels principalmente Dialética da natureza, no qual sua concepção de natureza e do materialismo dialético são presentes e publicações de Oparin, este trabalho mostra que tais concepções serviram a este último para o desenvolvimento posterior de sua hipótese, como uma certa sofisticação em termos de argumentos, tanto do ponto de vista filosófico como experimental

However, in such book he did not deal with man. He had dealt with this subject in two books which were published later: The expression of emotions in man and animals (1872) and The descent of man (1871). This dissertation aims to elucidate if Darwin had presented the same ways of modification of the species in The origin of species and The expression of emotions in man and animals. It will be also taken into account some conceptions presented by him in The descent of man. This study contains an introduction and three chapters. Chapter 1 deals with some of Darwin s contributions offering an overview of the main ways of modification found in the Origin of species. Chapter 2 analyses the ways of modification of species found in The expression of emotions in man and animals. Chapter 3 offers a comparison between the conceptions found in both books as well as providing some final remarks on the subject. This study led to the conclusion that the ways of modification of species proposed in both books are the same: natural selection, sexual selection, inheritance of acquired characteristics. Besides that, it may be found an analogy between natural and artificial selection in both of them. However, in The expression of emotions in man and animals Darwin stressed the role of the inheritance of acquired characteristics in order to explain some patterns of behaviour in man and other animals. It can also be pointed out that several conceptions found in The Expression had inspired some more recent works contributing for the building of the discipline Ethology, in the 1960 s / Dentre os livros escritos por Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882), o Origem das espécies (1859) é o mais conhecido. Entretanto, nesta obra ele não lidou com o homem. Ele tratou deste assunto em duas obras que publicou posteriormente: na Expressão das emoções no homem e nos animais (1872) e na Origem do homem (1871). O objetivo desta dissertação é elucidar se Darwin apresentou os mesmos meios de modificação das espécies nessas duas obras. Serão também consideradas as concepções apresentadas na Origem do homem. Esta dissertação contém uma introdução e três capítulos. O capítulo 1 trata de algumas contribuições de Darwin oferecendo uma visão geral dos principais meios de modificação das espécies encontrados no Origem das espécies. O capítulo 2 analisa os meios de modificação das espécies encontrados no livro Expressão das emoções no homem e nos animais. O capítulo 3 apresenta uma comparação das concepções encontradas nos dois livros bem como algumas considerações finais sobre o assunto. Este estudo levou à conclusão de que os meios de modificação das espécies apresentados nas duas obras consideradas são os mesmos: seleção natural, seleção sexual, herança de caracteres adquiridos pelo uso e desuso. Entretanto, na Expressão das emoções no homem e nos animais, Darwin enfatizou o papel da herança de caracteres adquiridos para explicar alguns padrões de comportamento no homem e em outros animais. Pode ser também apontado que diversas concepções encontradas no livro Expressão das emoções no homem e nos animais serviram de inspiração para trabalhos mais recentes contribuindo para a construção da disciplina Etologia, na década de 1960

We started from the problem that the semiotics relationships between the poetic of Manoel de Barros and the film Caramujo-flor (Clam-flower) constitute what we can call Movies of Poetry. Therefore, our aim is to analyze the film and the poems that make it, in a correlating way, to prove the raised problem. This analysis was developed around three significant axes: the metaphor of the mosaic that translates the intersemiotics relationships; the fictional imaginary and its presence in culture, going through the Baroque and the eroticism of the poetic word and its recreation in the filmic object; finally, how the proliferous relationship of the intertextual, metalinguistic and hybridization elements influence the semiotic-cultural mediations accomplished by the medias, especially the movies. We articulated, therefore, as first hypothesis, that Clam-flower, when proposing a new look on the appealing narrative structures of the independent movies, enrolls in what Buñuel and Pasolini call Movies of Poetry . As a methodological approach, we will use the necessary bibliographical research instead of the analysis of the procedures on the construction of the studied works. Based on the authors that study movies and in the translating theories between semiotics and movies, joined to Joel Pizzini's and Manoel de Barros bibliographies. The based theory is the semiotics of lotmaniana root, in which the dialogue among the cultural compounds permeates the frontier zones of the arts, promoting generating spaces of sense that move dynamically. Concerning movies, we will use the theories of Eisenstein, Pasolini and Buñuel. In order to elucidate the questions concerning the Baroque, we will read Sarduy and Haroldo de Campos. We also point out authors as Paul Zumthor, who works with the performance specification of the oral language. We also go through the translation theorists (from Benjamin to the concretes) along with those of the miscegenation (Laplantine, Gruzinski, Amálio Pinheiro, etc) / O objeto desta pesquisa é o estudo das traduções intersemióticas feitas pela obra fílmica de Joel Pizzini Caramujo-flor ao re(ler)os signos verbais e visuais que se entrelaçam na construção do texto poético de Manoel de Barros na obra Gramática Expositiva do Chão-Poesia quase toda. Partimos do problema de que as relações semióticas entre a poética de Manoel de Barros e o filme Caramujo-flor constitui o que podemos chamar de Cinema de Poesia. Nosso objetivo portanto é analisar o filme e os poemas que o constituem, de maneira correlacional, para comprovarmos o problema levantado. Análise esta desenvolvida em torno de três eixos de significação: a metáfora do mosaico que traduz as relações intersemióticas; o imaginário ficcional e sua presentificação na cultura, perpassando pelo barroco e pelo erotismo da palavra poética e sua recriação no objeto fílmico; por fim, como a relação prolífera dos elementos intertextuais, metalingüísticos e de hibridação influenciam as mediações semiótico-culturais realizadas pelas mídias, especialmente o cinema. Articulamos, portanto, como hipótese primeira que Caramujo-flor, ao propor um novo olhar sobre as estruturas narrativas recorrentes do cinema independente se inscreve no que Buñuel e Pasolini chamam de Cinema de Poesia . Como procedimento metodológico usaremos a pesquisa bibliográfica necessária à análise dos procedimentos de construção das obras estudadas. Fundamentando-nos nos autores que estudam cinema e nas teorias tradutórias entre semiótica e cinema, agregados as bibliografias de Joel Pizzini e Manoel de Barros. A teoria base é a semiótica de raiz lotmaniana, segundo a qual o diálogo entre os complexos culturais permeia as zonas fronteiriças das artes, promovendo espaços geradores de sentido que se movem dinamicamente. Sobre cinema lançaremos mão das teorias de Eisenstein, Pasolini e Buñuel. Para elucidar as questões referentes ao barroco leremos Sarduy e Haroldo de Campos. Ressaltamos ainda autores como Paul Zumthor, que trabalham a especificidade performática da linguagem oral. Perpassamos também pelos teóricos da tradução (desde Benjamin aos concretos) em conjunção com os da mestiçagem (Laplantine, Gruzinski, Amálio Pinheiro etc)

The intellectual trajectory of the writer has begun in philosophy, next to important germane characters and philosophers, in special Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers, leaving after for the politics theory by the influence of Henrich Blücher, in the United States of America, and has gotten back, at last, for the philosophy. It is possible grasping in the Arendt s thought tries to show a meaning of politics that develops itself inside of a conception of world and with the men, included in their various human activities and that had divided in 1. labor that activity said by needy and at the same time, trivial inside a biological process, that it is derived, once that it consumes in its own metabolism individual or collective; 2. the work by it and its extraction done from nature of the things are created by the homo faber, with its consequent world conversion in a space of shared objects by the human being; and the 3. action the only activity that fulfills directly among the men without the objects or the material mediation. The action occupies, at the arendtian context, one of the fundamental conditions in the man s life, united by the capacity of leading free his own destiny, represented still the only way of individual expression. Arendt searches to show a power conception that it is not limited from domination or hierarchies aspects, but free from those situations of pure submission, subordination or leadership circumstances by the men. The power for Arendt is built by the interactions of three elements, in other words, 1. the whole action, 2. the communication and the 3. common sense. Arendt, with her thought about power, includes every mechanism of whole action function, which becomes one of the biggest collaborators in the democratic process, serving as incentive for communities and organizations in their fights or demands for rights that can take to formation and development of specific ideas, including the direct and continuous participation. Nevertheless, there are difficulties for introducing the participating democracy, mainly in the under-developing countries. In Brazil, there is a way in this point, by some mechanisms contained in the Federal Constitution of 1988. This is the point of this investigation / É razoável acreditar que a construção da idéia de poder, como produzida por Hannah Arendt, e registrada nas esferas da filosofia e da política, ocupando espaços em momentos distintos, tem suas experiências pessoais como inspiração. A trajetória intelectual da autora inicia-se na filosofia, ao lado de importantes personagens e filósofos alemães, especialmente Martin Heidegger e Karl Jaspers, partindo posteriormente para a teoria política por influência de Heinrich Blücher, nos Estados Unidos, e retorna, finalmente, para a filosofia. É possível apreender, no pensamento de Arendt, um significado de política que se desenvolve no interior de uma concepção de mundo e com os homens, inseridos nas suas diversas atividades humanas, divididas em 1) o labor - aquela atividade marcada pela necessidade e concomitante futilidade dentro de um processo biológico, do qual é derivativa, uma vez que se consome no próprio metabolismo, individual ou coletivo; 2) o trabalho - por meio dele e das extrações efetuadas da natureza, as coisas são criadas pelo homo faber, com sua conseqüente conversão do mundo em um espaço de objetos partilhados pelo homem; e 3) a ação - única atividade que se exerce diretamente entre os homens sem a mediação das coisas ou da matéria. A ação ocupa, no contexto arendtiano, uma das condições fundamentais na vida do homem, consubstanciada pela capacidade de conduzir livremente seu próprio destino, representando ainda a única forma de expressão da singularidade individual. Busca Arendt apresentar uma concepção de poder que não está circunscrita a aspectos de dominação ou hierarquização, mas na total desvinculação daquelas situações de puro jugo, subordinação ou mando por parte dos homens. O poder para Arendt se constrói pela interação de três elementos, ou seja, a 1) ação conjunta, 2) a comunicação e o 3) senso comum. Arendt, com o seu pensamento de poder, compreende todo o mecanismo da ação conjunta, tornando-se uma das grandes colaboradoras no processo democrático, servindo de incentivo para comunidades e organizações em suas lutas ou reivindicações de direitos, que podem levar à formação e ao desenvolvimento de idéias concretas, inclusive por meio da participação direta e contínua. Não obstante, há dificuldades para se implantar a democracia participativa, principalmente em países subdesenvolvidos. No Brasil, há um caminhar neste sentido, por meio de alguns mecanismos contidos na Constituição Federal de 1988. Este é o sentido desta investigação
