Édouard Glissant et Ernesto Sábato sont connus pour être a la fois des romanciers et des penseurs. Leur réflexion théorique qui porte principalement sur la langue, l’histoire et l’identité nourrit leur production romanesque et y trouve son lieu d’expression privilégie. Notre travail va porter essentiellement sur l’analyse des œuvres romanesques afin de mettre en relief les procèdes d’écriture tout en faisant référence aux écrits théoriques. En effet, le roman est l’un des lieux ou sont mis en œuvre les principes theoriques élaborés dans les essais, mais le roman constitue aussi un laboratoire d’écriture. Le questionnement sur la forme littéraire la plus apte a contenir l’idéologie des deux romanciers, qui sont a leur manière des écrivains engagés, est narrativise au sein de la fiction. L’analyse des stratégies discursives employées par les deux auteurs nous amènera vers des considérations sur le rôle de l’écrivain dans le processus de fondation d’une conscience nationale de son peuple. / Édouard Glissant and Ernesto Sábato are both well-known for their work as writers and philosophers. Their theoretical reflection, which analyses questions pertaining to language, history and identity, nourishes their novelistic production. In fact their novels mark the crossroads of theory and fiction. The latter are a forum for thought where the theoretical bases of their reflection are applied to reality. This perception of the novel as strictly related to their essay work leads us to consider the use of metafiction, a technique that encompasses both types of creation. The search for different metafiction strategies will allow us to analyze the construction of “guiding fictions”. At the same time, it will lead us to consider the role of a writer in the process of constructing a “national conscience” through literature.

This dissertation examines the moralization and beautification campaigns of Mexico City's mayor Ernesto P. Uruchurtu. As head of the Department of the Federal District from 1952-1966, his policies encouraged more popular housing, improved infrastructure, better transportation, cleaner markets, and safer streets. Uruchurtu also aimed to crack down on vice and beautify the city. He believed that through beautification and moralization the city would become safer, healthier, and more livable for all residents. Significantly, he promoted the expansion and improvement of parks, gardens, recreational facilities, the repairing and building of fountains, and the planting of trees and flowers, especially gladiolas. Living with more green and athletic spaces, urban dwellers would have the opportunity to improve physically and spiritually, and would feel inspired to lead more moral lives. Residents could then collectively come together to take pride in their city and generate a stronger sense of civic culture. Consequently, a new generation of youth would grow up in a healthier urban environment and promote national prosperity.This dissertation explores these policies and analyzes the debates surrounding Oscar Lewis's anthropological work, The Children of Sanchez, to highlight anxieties about the effects of urbanization, modernization, and industrialization on the capital's inhabitants. Following the book's publication in 1964, hundreds of articles appeared in newspapers and magazines responding to its subject matter; the intimate details about life for one "typical" poor family living in a slum tenement in the city's center. The debates underscored the uneven benefits of Uruchurtu's policies and offered insights into contradictory depictions of Mexico City: the prospering center of industrialization and growth, and the hub of poverty and despair. Responses to the book expressed how many of the poor experienced economic and political changes during the 1950s and 1960s. The debates also offered details about the cultural and social implications of Uruchurtu's administrative policies and provided a unique opportunity for an open public exchange about life in the capital.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a proposta de resistência e as estratégias que se configuram na obra A Resistência de Ernesto Sabato, questão essa que se encontra de maneira latente em outras obras que a precederam, sobretudo, nas ficcionais. Desse modo, podemos afirmar que a resistência sugerida pelo autor se encontra ficcionalizada em seus romances, com ênfase em Sobre Heróis e Tumbas (1961) e Abadon o exterminador (1974). Essa análise nos permite refletir a questão do intelectual na contemporaneidade, tendo em foco o autor argentino e seu posicionamento diante de poderes e sistemas desumanizadores.

Tal diversidade nos leva a algumas questões que permeiam este trabalho: quais são as ferramentas auditivas e interpretativas de que dispomos para fruição e construção de uma performance das músicas de Nazareth? Tais ferramentas existem em função da obra escrita ou do ambiente, da instrumentação ou do meio social em que a música é tocada? Como era atuação de Nazareth como pianista e compositor? Como era a prática musical dos pianistas desse período? O que nós temos que levar em conta a partir da história da música popular urbana do Rio de Janeiro para abordar essa música? Para tanto, o trabalho analisa a interpretação de quatro músicos: Jacob do Bandolim, na gravação da música Confidências; Carolina Cardozo de Menezes com seu arranjo para Odeon; Hércules Gomes com seu arranjo de Odeon; e Sônia Rubinsky, na gravação de Batuque. Ainda nesta investigação, a presente pesquisa estuda o período em que Ernesto Nazareth compôs suas músicas e a relação do compositor com os grupos de choro. / The present dissertation aims to investigate the diversity of Ernesto Nazareth interpretations, whose music has been performed by classical pianists and choro groups. Such diversity leads us to some questions that permeate this work: what are the auditory and interpretative tools available to us to enjoy and build a performance of Nazareth’s music? Do such tools exist in function of the written music or the environment, instrumentation or social surroundings in which the music is played? How was Nazareth acting as a pianist and composer? How was the musical practice of the pianists of this period? What do we have to take into account from the history of popular urban music in Rio de Janeiro to address this song? Therefore, the work analyzes the interpretation of four musicians: Jacob do Bandolim, on the recording of the song Confidências; Carolina Cardozo de Menezes on her arrangement for Odeon; Hercules Gomes on his arrangement for Odeon; and Sônia Rubinsky, on the recording of Batuque. Still in this investigation, the present research studies the period in which Ernesto Nazareth composed his songs and the relation of composer with choro groups.

Ernesto Che Guevara förknippas med mystik, frihet och politik. Ernesto Che Guevara (i fortsättningen kallad endast Guevara) är idag för många ett prydligt ansikte som associeras med rock’n’roll och frispråkighet. Historiskt är han en kommunistisk gerillaledare som inte lät något eller någon komma i hans väg. Den populärkulturella bilden av honom ser något annorlunda ut från den historiska. Hur har människor använt sig utav historia och till vilket syfte? Studien undersöker vilka bilder av Guevara som framställs i olika populärkulturella arenor och till vilket syfte.   Studiens titeln, ¡Hasta Siempre Comandante!, är titel till en låt skriven av den kubanska kompositören Carlos Puebla. Låttexten är en av de mest kända som handlar om Guevara och har kommit att ha stor betydelse för hans anhängare. Låten diskuteras vidare under studiens resultatdel.

According to Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, our postmodern era and its correlate political problematic requires a shift in positing socialist strategy. Their wager is that by shifting away from essentialist Marxism, and towards a post-Marxist theory of hegemony which they adapt from Gramsci, the analytic for overturning contemporary hegemony will take the form of a radical democratic politics. My contention is that in shifting away from essentialist Marxism through their post-structuralist deconstructive stance, Laclau and Mouffe overstep and make their analytic for socialist strategy impotent. In order to show where Laclau and Mouffe have gone wrong I use primarily the work of Michel Foucault and Slavoj Žižek in order to demonstrate how a post-structuralist theory of ideology need not be a post-Marxist theory of ideology. / Master of Arts

Mediante a teoria do discurso de Ernesto Laclau, a tese analisa as concepções de Estados Falidos e nation-building presentes em documentos produzidos durante a administração George W. Bush. Almejamos entender como o fracasso estatal foi concebido como um evento eminentemente doméstico, assim como as ideias de que a democracia liberal é a melhor instituição para os Estados Falidos, e que os EUA possuem capacidade reconhecida para reconstruir Estados. Nossas hipóteses são as seguintes: primeiramente, por meio de premissas do institucionalismo da escolha racional, a história dos Estados Falidos é vista de maneira pejorativa, julgada à luz do desenvolvimento político e econômico ocidental. Em segundo lugar, a democracia é aqui compreendida como um significante vazio, visto que, seria não apenas o melhor e mais justo sistema político e econômico, mas também aquele que permitiria que países executassem de maneira mais eficiente funções estatais consideradas essenciais. Finalmente, com base em uma série de estudos de casos, os documentos apresentam uma visão dos EUA enquanto país historicamente engajado em nation-building, começando com as intervenções na Alemanha e no Japão ao final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, até as recentes operações no Afeganistão e no Iraque após os atentados de 11 de setembro de 2001. / Using Ernesto Laclaus discourse theory, this dissertation analyzes the conceptions of failed states and nation-building presented in documents produced during George W. Bushs administration. We intend to understand how it was possible to conceive state failure as an essentially domestic event, as well as the ideas that democracy is the best institution for failed states and that the U.S has a proven capacity to rebuild states. Our hypotheses are the following: firstly, through assumptions based upon rational choice institutionalism, the history of failed states is seen in a depreciative manner by being judged in light of a Western model of economic and political development. Secondly, democracy is here understood as an empty signifier, given that it is not only the best and the fairest political and economic system, but also the one that today enables countries to perform essential state tasks in a more efficient fashion. Finally, through a series of case studies, the documents present the idea that the U.S is historically engaged in nation-building, from the occupations of Germany and Japan at the end of World War II to the recent interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq after the September 11th, 2001, attacks.

Esta dissertação visa recuperar e examinar criticamente a trajetória da empresa de móveis Mobilinea entre 1959 e 1975, considerando que foi uma das mais importantes do período no país, assumindo não apenas um papel de produtora de objetos, como também de promotora de certos estilos de vida. O primeiro capítulo pretende apresentar o contexto da produção moveleira no Brasil até a fundação da empresa, sua inserção no circuito de design brasileiro nos anos 1960 e 1970 e as histórias individuais de seus criadores e colaboradores. O segundo capítulo busca focalizar as principais características de seus produtos, assim como seus locais e formas de venda, evidenciando o modo como foram tratados enquanto parte de cenas domésticas completas. O terceiro capítulo exibe a presença da Mobilinea em publicações impressas durante o período estudado, analisando os diferentes discursos criados para cada público, elencando suas semelhanças e diferenças. Foi principalmente nestes espaços que a empresa divulgou seus valores, que incluíam formas de se ocupar e se comportar na casa, dando à mulher um papel de protagonismo na proposição e no consumo desses modos de morar. / This dissertation aims to uncover and critically examine the evolution of Mobilinea, a Brazilian furniture design company. During the period from 1959 to 1975 it was one of the most prominent firms in the country, not only as a producer of goods but also in terms of promoting certain lifestyles. The first chapter of the study presents the context of furniture production in Brazil until the founding of the company, its insertion in the Brazilian design circuit of the 1960s and 1970s, and the individual stories of its creators and collaborators. The second chapter has a focus on the key attributes of the products, as well as the promotional environments and sales approaches, highlighting them as components of domestic environments. The third chapter reviews the presence of Mobilinea in publications during the studied period, analyzing the different messages created for the target audiences, through charting out the similarities and differences. It was mostly in this media that the company disseminated its values, which included ways of inhabiting and acting in the home, suggesting a leading role for women in developing and consuming these living styles.
