A dissertação pretende permitir ao leitor simular a forma de pensar de Daniel Dennett, e perpassa toda sua filosofia, com ênfase em seu tratamento de o que são padrões, o algoritmo evolutivo, intuition pumps, consciência, e seu uso dos conceitos de illata, abstracta, semântica e sintaxe para compreender a natureza, a biologia e a mente humana. O trabalho reapresenta, sob nova luz, grande parte das ideias mais importantes de Dennett, e procura fazer a engenharia reversa de o que o levou a pensar de determinadas maneiras, guiando o leitor através de caminhos similares, procurando fomentar um aprendizado ativo de uma forma de pensar, acima e além de uma exposição dos resultados obtidos ao longo de décadas desse pensamento no próprio Dennett / This dissertation intends to provide the reader with an inner simulation of Daniel Dennetts form of reasoning, spreading over his whole philosophy, emphasizing his treatment of patterns, the evolutionary algorithm, consciousness, and his use of illata, abstracta, semantic, and synthax, to carve nature at its joints, especially biology and the human mind. It recasts, in a new light, great part of his most important ideas, and reverse engineers what made him think in particular ways, walking the reader through similar pathways, fostering an active learning of a thinking style, above and beyond a mere exposition of the results obtained by this thinking style over the years

Esta dissertação pretende analisar, sob uma perspectiva comparatista, as obras: Kabá Darebu e As peripécias do jabuti, de Daniel Munduruku, e Pequena história de gente e de bicho, de Ciça Fittipaldi, tendo em vista as especificidades culturais de cada autor e a maneira como elas se refletem em suas produções, bem como destacar características de seus projetos ideológicos e estéticos. Levando em conta os preceitos dos estudos comparados, outro foco de análise será os diálogos estabelecidos entre cada escritor com outras áreas de conhecimento, como: antropologia, artes plásticas e educação, considerando a formação acadêmica de ambos e sua atuação profissional. Levando-se em conta as ponderações de Antonio Candido com relação às influências do contexto social e político na produção literária, este trabalho também abordará a Lei 11.645 - a qual institui o ensino das contribuições culturais e sociais dos povos africanos e indígenas nas escolas brasileiras - e a possibilidade de reflexo da mesma na produção literária de temática indígena desses autores. / This thesis aims to analyze, from a comparative perspective, the works: Kaba Darebu and the tortoise The adventures of Daniel Mundurukú and short history of people and animal, of Ciça Fittipaldi, in view of the cultural specificities of each author and how they reflect on their productions, as well as highlight features of their ideological and aesthetic designs. Taking into account the principles of comparative studies, another focus of analysis will be dialogues between each writer with other areas of knowledge, such as anthropology, art and education, considering both the academic and his professional performance. Taking into account the weights of Antonio Candido with respect to the influences of the social and political context in the literature, this paper will also address the 11,645 law - which establishes the teaching of social and cultural contributions of African peoples and indigenous Brazilian schools - and the possibility of reflection of the same in the literary production of indigenous issues these authors.

Esta dissertação propõe uma leitura crítica do romance Libro de navíos y borrascas, do escritor argentino Daniel Moyano, publicado em 1983. Tal leitura se constrói a partir do desenvolvimento de perspectivas de análise que levam em conta, por um lado, o caráter alegórico da narrativa e, por outro, a singularidade da enunciação de seu narrador, sendo a experiência do exílio o eixo articulador de nossa abordagem crítica. A teoria de Walter Benjamin sobre alegoria e narração e as relações entre enunciação e subjetividade, pensadas a partir das reflexões de Benveniste, Ricardo Piglia e Giorgio Agamben, nos fornecem alguns dos embasamentos teóricos mais fundamentais no traçado de uma reflexão acerca de como a relação entre linguagem e experiência configura a narrativa de Libro de navíos y borrascas como uma ficção do exílio. Na tentativa de contribuir para a consolidação de uma fortuna crítica da obra de Daniel Moyano, um autor pouco estudado tanto na Argentina como no Brasil, nosso estudo parte de fatores estéticos e históricos que dizem respeito ao contexto de produção do romance, bem como a determinadas concepções de seu autor acerca da escrita literária e às perspectivas críticas que se dedicaram à ficção argentina dos anos 1980, produzida sob o último regime militar vivido por aquele país. / This dissertation proposes a critical reading of the Argentinean writer Daniel Moyanos novel Libro de navíos y borrascas, published in 1983. Such reading is built on the development of perspectives of analysis that consider, on the one hand, the narratives allegorical characteristics, and on the other hand, its narrator enunciation uniqueness, where the exile experience is the articulating axis of our critical approach. Walter Benjamins theory on allegory and narration, as well as the relations between enunciation and subjectivity, considered from Benvenistes, Ricardo Piglias and Giorgio Agambens reflections, provide us some of the most fundamental theoretical foundation on the outline of a reflection on how language and experience define Libro de navíos y borrascass narrative as an exile fiction. In an attempt to contribute towards consolidating the critical fortune of Daniel Moyanos work, a scarcely studied author both in Argentina and Brazil, our study considers aesthetical and historical factors regarding the novels context of production, as well as certain conceptions of its author about literary writing and critical perspectives that dedicated themselves to the 1980s Argentinean fiction, produced under the latest military regime lived by that country.

M.Phil. (Philosophy) / The author's choice of a theme is practical. It is a cultural-philosophical analysis·of the views of GLAZER and MOYNUlAN on ethnicity. 1 The result is studied and viewed in relation to philosophical anthropology and the ·genetic method of explanation of culture of CA VAN PEURSEN and by means of his cultural-historfcal three-tier development of the mythological, successively followed by the ontological and the functional. The author then suggests the. principle of sovereignty, within the limited sphere of competence of social structures within the same cultural ·entity to overcome the dialectic struggle for supremacy between social structures (i.e.: nation and state or church and state, etc). Linking this the writer offers a structural analysis of state versus nation (volk) and also rejects a dualistic (soul versus body) concept of man, preferring the model of man as a single integrated existential being. The author finds the views of GLAZER and MOYNIHAN are that ethnic identification is a natural and inevitable fact of human existence. It has its positive aspects (providing identity ... support ... security) and its negative aspects (encouraging isolation ... ethnocentrism ... conflict ... etc). By rejecting humanistic individualism and integration as ideological (therefore ontological) and ethnicity as practical · (therefore functional), and urging governments to recognise ethnicity within the framework of plural democracy, they by implication become the proponents of ethnicity, and culture with them becomes cultural determinism. By so doing they also derived and subscribed to some inevitable pre-empirical and therefore theoretical-philosophical concepts re group identity and the relation betwe€n soul and body and culture versus physical environment. Within each of the cultural-historical development phases posed by VAN PEURSEN the author finds that group identity as the essence of ethnicity is after all, as proposed by GLAZER and MOYNIHAN not so new, and that ethnicity during the course of history was always coined to the supremacy of an identity carrying social structure (i.e. the state in Greek culture; the church in Roman Catholicism; race in national-socialism; the individual in humanistic liberalism; and the state in dialectic materialism; etc). It is in the functional, practical realm that ethnicity has gained ground during the latter part of this century. The rediscovery of group identity signals the bancruptcy of ontological individualism and the appearance of pragmatism, existensialism and the dramatic growth of cultural anthropology and new-conservatism. The author sees existensial man as a unitary being and by so doing disacknowledges an inner spiritual world of the soul against the outer world of nature and body. This one-ness of man makes culture his first nature and not his second, as suggested by GLAZER and MOYNIHAN. Mans cultural identity is expressed in a variety of social structures and by utilysing the principle of sovereignty within each structural sphere of competence, the author wishes to avoid ethnicity or group identity being captured by one structure (i.e. race in national socialism and volk/nation in ethnocentrism) and thereby becoming an operationalism.

[pt] Daniel Dennett, um dos mais controversos filósofos contemporâneos, propõe uma teoria materialista da consciência, segundo a qual a subjetividade humana pode ser reduzida a fenômenos físicos. Alguns filósofos consideram esta perspectiva uma impostura, um tipo de reducionismo nocivo e deturpador. A teoria de Dennett também atraiu críticas de filósofos materialistas como Paul Churchland e de adeptos da fenomenologia husserliana. Este trabalho visa investigar quão bem a teoria de Dennett se sai diante destas objeções. / [en] Daniel Dennett, one of the most controversial contemporary philosophers, advances a materialistic theory of consciousness, according to which human subjectivity can be totally reduced to physical phenomena. Some philosophers, such as David Chalmers and John Searle, consider this perspective an imposture, a harmful and distorting kind of reductionism. Dennett´s theory has also attracted criticism from materialistic philosophers such as Paul Churchland, and from enthusiasts of husserlian phenomenology. This work aims to investigate how well Dennett´s theory does when facing such objections.

Le carnavalesque est une notion littéraire intéressante parce qu'elle permet, dans la saga des Malaussène et en particulier dans La petite marchande de prose, de donner un sens global à plusieurs manifestations autrement isolées. Le premier défi de ce mémoire a consisté à élargir le carnavalesque de Bakhtine pour pouvoir l'appliquer à un corpus contemporain. La pensée d'André Belleau, nuancée par Pierre Popovic et Philippe Muray, a permis l'élaboration d'un critère permettant d'affirmer qu'un texte contemporain est carnavalisé. Ce critère est simple : un texte carnavalisé sera empreint d'un imaginaire carnavalesque et permettra un renouvellement. Cet imaginaire désigne autant un foisonnement de la langue, un rire n'excluant personne, l'imagerie grotesque. De façon formelle, le roman carnavalisé se met souvent à distance de lui-même : les distanciations ironiques sont nombreuses, autant au niveau du fond (remise en question du monde, du littéraire, etc.) que de la forme (travestissements génériques).
