Made available in DSpace on 2013-01-07T15:54:57Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2 license.txt: 1748 bytes, checksum: 8a4605be74aa9ea9d79846c1fba20a33 (MD5) 43.pdf: 988150 bytes, checksum: 10b441d702e3c5a924b7b61624eb29f7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004 / Inúmeros autores são unânimes em considerar que a década de 1870 foi um momento marcante na história do Brasil, com relação à entrada de uma série de novas teorias propagadoras de idéias liberalistas, positivistas e evolucionistas. Uma das teorias que chegou ao país nesse período foi o darwinismo. A historioia tem mostrado que muitos indivíduos e grupos sociais se apropriaram de diferentes maneiras da teoria da evolução biológica de Darwin em diversos lugares e épocas. No Brasil, entre aqueles que elegeram essa teoria como bandeira de suas campanhas, estava Augusto César de Miranda Azevedo, médico paulista, que viveu no Rio de Janeiro durante quase toda a década de 1870. Esse personagem ficou conhecido como um dos divulgadores do darwinismo no país. Dois textos publicados por Miranda Azevedo nos anos de 1875 e 1876, além de outros documentos, revelam uma apropriação muito particular do darwinismo, feita pelo médico. Essa apropriação tem como um de seus elementos centrais, a concepção de que certas modificações podem ser orientadas nos indivíduos para se obter perfis desejados de população. Quando relacionamos o discurso darwinista de Miranda Azevedo às suas atividades e ao momento de crises pelo qual o Brasil passava, podemos perceber certos fatores que influenciaram a apropriação da teoria da evolução biológica de Darwin feita pelo médico. A valorização de estímulos ambientais na produção e desenvolvimento de características nos indivíduos da população, e a conseqüente transmissão dessas características para os descendentes, poderiam ser concepções bastante adequadas para indivíduos ou grupos cuja preocupação era tentar produzir uma população capaz de fazer a nação progredir

Images of Jenny Lind and the Construction of Identity for the Nineteenth-Century Female Performer

Penick, Joanna Elizabeth 01 January 2006 (has links)
This thesis examines how images of the Swedish singer Jenny Lind worked to distance her from the typical nineteenth-century view. Because of their position within the public sphere, female performers were thought to be sexually available and often had the reputation of prostitute. Lind achieved a level of success that made her one of the most famous women of the mid-nineteenth-century. She was known not only for her talent as a performer but also for her morality and piety. Examining the Lind images in the context of nineteenth-century social codes and feminist theatre history, it becomes evident that Lind was a different type of female performer. This thesis will also discuss how photographic portraits of Lind adhered to codes for proper bourgeois portraits of women in the nineteenth century, thus distancing her from the stigma that was attached to stage performers.

Fault Line

Belcher, Kacee Lynn 20 February 2013 (has links)
FAULT LINE examines the fragile humanity connected to the themes of sexuality, violence, addiction, family dynamics, and death. The book is not broken into sections; rather, as poems build upon one another to explore a narrative arc, FAULT LINE tracks a single speaker’s experience from girlhood to the verge of independent womanhood. The speaker employs formal structures such as the prose poem, sestina, and particularly the list poem to examine the fluidity of inner experience and also the culture at large while challenging the narrow definitions of femininity and masculinity. FAULT LINE works to not only address the question of blame but also the literal breaks in lines of poetry. By looking at a single speaker’s struggle, the book, like life, is both humorous and horrifying.
