abstract: Guitar repertoire from the Baroque period consists primarily of transcriptions, which suggests that modern performers may explore more sources to identify eligible works to transcribe. The Musikalischer Parnassus, a collection of dance suites for harpsichord by Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer (1656-1746), is worthy of such a transcription. This collection has high artistic value and possesses a range and texture that make much of it playable on the guitar. The purpose of this research project is to introduce Fischer and his works to the classical guitar community, and also to explore the artistic qualities of Musikalischer Parnassus that qualify it for transcription for guitar. This document addresses the transcription process of two selected suites: VI, Euterpe and VIII, Polymnia by Fischer. The outcome is an edition for guitar and a performance guide, which includes interpretations and stylistic considerations for each movement. / Dissertation/Thesis / it is the appendix for the dissertation / D.M.A. Music 2013

Dans ce travail, il s’agit des conditions d’élaboration d’un nouveau savoir linguistique, anthropologique et philosophique à partir d’une matrice saussurienne-benvenistienne. Pour le faire, on développe une argumentation à deux niveaux. La première partie, Territoires, contient une étude historico-épistémologique de la sédimentation des interprétations des oeuvres de Ferdinand de Saussure et Émile Benveniste. On donne du relief principalement, mais pas exclusivement, aux appropriations structuralistes de la tradition saussurienne. On explore, en outre, comment les catégories d’analyse imposées à Saussure ont influencé les critiques dirigées à Benveniste. Finalement, on ébauche une histoire de la consolidation, institutionnalisation et affaiblissement du domaine de la linguistique de l’énonciation. La deuxième partie s’appelle Investigations et on y mène un effort créatif dans les projets épistémologiques de Saussure et Benveniste à la recherche d’éléments pour repenser la constitution de la métaphysique du langage. Cette partie a deux chapitres. Le premier s’occupe de la théorie saussurienne et met l’accent sur les concepts d’analogie et virtualité. On passe aussi par la majorité de ses concepts essentiels. Dans le deuxième chapitre, il s’agit de la théorie benvenistienne, plus spécialement le croisement du linguistique et du anthropologique dans la composition de la métaphysique qui soutient sa pensée. Dans les considérations finales, je présente des voies ouvertes par les études réalisées dans ce travail-ci. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo central abordar as condições de elaboração de um novo saber, linguístico, antropológico e filosófico, a partir de uma matriz saussuriana-benvenistiana. Para tal, ela se desenvolve em uma argumentação dividida em duas partes. A primeira parte, intitulada Territórios, contém um estudo histórico-epistemológico da sedimentação de interpretações sobre as obras de Ferdinand de Saussure e Émile Benveniste. Se mostra com destaque, ainda que não exclusivamente, as apropriações estruturalistas da tradição sassuriana. Se explora, também, como as categorias de análise impostas a Saussure influenciaram as críticas dirigidas a Benveniste. Finalmente, traça-se também um breve histórico da consolidação, institucionalização e eventual enfraquecimento do domínio da linguística da enunciação. A segunda parte se chama Investigações e, nela, realiza-se um esforço criativo dentro dos projetos epistemológicos de Saussure e Benveniste em busca de elementos para repensar a constituição da metafísica da linguagem. Há dois capítulos nessa parte. O primeiro se ocupa da teoria saussuriana, com ênfase nos conceitos de analogia e virtualidade, mas passando pela maioria de seus conceitos essenciais. O segundo trata da teoria benvenistiana, mais especialmente do cruzamento do linguístico e do antropológico na composição da metafísica que sustenta seu pensamento. Nas considerações finais apresento caminhos abertos pelos estudos realizados na dissertação.

Cette étude a pour but de réaliser une analyse énonciative de récits d’immigrés au Brésil, recueillis lors d’entretiens dans lesquels l’on a privilégié le registre oral. Le but principal a été de préciser le type de relation que l’immigré établit avec la langue seconde et avec la culture d’accueil. Nous nous sommes intéressés à cette relation en tant que résultante d’un processus impliquant l’inscription du sujet dans cette langue seconde et par conséquent sa symbolisation sur le plan social qui est le sien après la migration. Nous avons bâti l’axe principal de cette analyse sur la Théorie de l’Énonciation d’Émile Benveniste pour traiter les fondements énonciatifs choisis. La dimension narrative a été étudiée d’après les contributions théoriques de Dany-Robert Dufour. Bien que ces deux auteurs soient les plus mentionnés dans ce travail, d’autres contributions ont été indispensables pour la conception finale de l’énonciation nécessaire à cette étude, telles celles de Ferdinand de Saussure et Jean-Claude Milner. Comme ces auteurs, nous avons cherché à définir ce qui fait Un dans la langue, tout comme la rupture de ce Un, et qui montre la présence du sujet dans la langue et sa singularité. Finalement, nous considérons le récit de l’immigré comme un mécanisme complexe de l’énonciation, permettant de comprendre le type de relation établi par le sujet avec la langue seconde, en même temps qu’il réalise le lien avec le nouveau contexte énonciatif par le biais de ce support dans le langage. / O estudo aqui apresentado se propõe uma análise enunciativa de narrativas de imigrantes no Brasil, as quais foram recolhidas em entrevistas, privilegiando a fala ou construção oral. O objetivo principal foi de elucidar o tipo de relação que o imigrante estabelece com a outra língua e cultura. Observamos tal relação como efeito de um processo que requer a inscrição do sujeito em segunda língua e, consequentemente, sua simbolização no campo social ao qual se dirige no contexto migratório. Para proceder neste objetivo, utilizamos o referencial da Teoria da Enunciação de Émile Benveniste, que organiza o eixo principal do nosso estudo para tratar do fundamento enunciativo proposto. Acrescemos com as contribuições teóricas de Dany-Robet Dufour para estabelecer a dimensão narrativa. Embora, mencionemos principalmente os aportes destes dois autores, outras contribuições foram indispensáveis para a concepção final de enunciação que interessava ao nosso estudo e, aqui, não podemos deixar de citar Ferdinand de Saussure e Jean-Claude Milner. Com eles, consideramos o que faz Um na língua e a ruptura do Um, que anuncia a presença do sujeito na língua, em sua singularidade. Por fim, reconhecemos a narrativa do imigrante como um mecanismo complexo da enunciação, que ao mesmo tempo, mostra o tipo de relação do sujeito com a segunda língua e, realiza o vínculo com o novo contexto enunciativo, por meio deste suporte na linguagem.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é construir recursos operatórios de leitura que permitam articular, desde um ponto de vista epistemológico, lingüística e psicanálise. Esta temática surge de uma problemática de pesquisa atual, relativa à crescente demanda, endereçada a lingüística, por diferentes práticas clínicas nas quais a linguagem está implicada. Neste sentido, procura-se relacionar um paradigma de linguagem com uma teoria da subjetividade apropriada tanto à reflexão clínica quanto à reflexão epistemológica. Desta forma, esta dissertação opta por um estudo teórico, visando a construção de operadores conceituais que possibilitem a articulação entre a psicanálise lacaniana e as teorias da linguagem de Saussure, Jakobson e Benveniste, utilizando como corpus de análise essas próprias teorias lingüísticas e psicanalíticas. Portanto, seu procedimento analítico pode ser qualificado como metateórico. Quatro critérios são utilizados para a seleção dos autores: 1°) as três teorias são, cada uma a seu modo, estruturalistas – isso significa que a estrutura é o conceito operador que permite pensar as proposições que estão na base de cada teoria (seus axiomas); 2°) as três teorias estabelecem proposições sobre o objeto língua – isso requer perguntar quais axiomas sobre a língua cada teoria teve que construir para dar conta da estrutura. Desses dois critérios deriva-se um terceiro; 3°) as três teorias conformam três “sistemas de linguagem” que não dissolvem o “objeto língua” para se constituírem em sua especificidade (diluindo-a em objetos de outros domínios teóricos, exteriores ao campo da linguagem – ou da lingüística – propriamente dito, tais como, por exemplo, a biologia, a psicologia, a sociologia). Cada sistema é representado por um nome próprio : I – Sistema de Linguagem elaborado por Saussure; II – Sistema de Linguagem tratado por Jakobson; III – Sistema de Linguagem concebido por Benveniste. Como critério de fechamento, temos que : 4°) as três teorias interessam de perto ao Sistema de Linguagem da psicanálise lacaniana. A relação entre tais teorias deverá servir de suporte de leitura à interlocução estabelecida no campo interdisciplinar sobre a presença da linguagem nas diferentes clínicas, assim como revitalizar os campos conceituais tanto da lingüística quanto da psicanálise.

The master thesis "The Fall of Ferdinand Marcos and the Transition to Democracy in the Philippines" deals with the analysis of politico-historical development of the Philippines and the aim is describe the fall of nondemocratic regime and the subseguent transition do democracy. The attention is paid to the role and tactics of opposition groups among which leadership stakes took place during democratic consolidation. To be place into the context the master thesis deals as well with historical development of political system and its practise.

This dissertation explores how the 19th century Spanish novel functions as a forum to prescribe and then question normative bourgeois masculinity. After establishing how masculinity was a central concern for 19th century Spanish intellectuals preoccupied with the building of a liberal nation, it analyzes novels written after the death of Fernando VII (1833) and through the first two decades of the Restoration period (1875-95). By 1840 it was clear that the stereotypical Spaniard, as coined by European romanticism, was of no use for the liberal nation, and a new national man was needed. The (failed) attempt of the novel of the 1840s to consolidate an archetypical masculinity is crucial to understand this process. For its part, the Restoration novel will challenge the myth of normative bourgeois masculinity, dissolving its national archetypes into more complex characters, and culminating with the absolution of the romantic myth it had previously attempted to erase.

In 1978 a group of evangelical philosophers and theologians held a meeting to decide what the definitive statement on the doctrine of inerrancy would be. Drawing on the thought of B.B. Warfield and others this group came up with a statement comprising of a short statement, nineteen articles including both statements of affirmation and denial, as well as, an exposition of these articles. Taken in its entirety, this statement is intended to be the Evangelical statement determining all subsequent information about the doctrine of inerrancy. Leading evangelicals, including Carl F.H. Henry signed this document in order to establish a consensus on what one meant when using the term inerrancy. Almost three decades later this term is still used with a sense of confusion and the doctrine is no less controversial. In fact, it still is responsible for the division of departments in many evangelical institutions of higher education in North America. The following thesis hopes to help loosen this doctrine from its theological ‘stronghold’ and place it in a position where it will be less likely to cause division amongst evangelicals. By examining the thought of both B.B. Warfield, who helped create the doctrine, and Carl F.H. Henry, who played a contemporary role in the formation of the Chicago Statement and who might rightly be considered the evangelical theologian of the twentieth century, this thesis brings to light certain presuppositions of the doctrine of inerrancy that allow it take a position that undergirds other theological doctrines. By identifying the nature of truth and authority as the main tenants of the inerrantist position, the thesis examines these terms in light of the thought of both Warfield and Henry. Their thought is found to be remarkably similar to certain principles and concerns raised by Enlightenment philosophers and it is concluded that the understandings of truth and authority presupposed by the doctrine of inerrancy ultimately are biased by Enlightenment philosophy and so are an inadequate representation of the terms as used in Scripture and tradition. The thesis suggests that an adequate understanding of truth would be primarily Christological in nature and, therefore, a larger category than the one presupposed by the doctrine of inerrancy. Also, an adequate understanding of authority would presuppose the contemporary work of the Holy Spirit, which again makes for a much larger pneumatological category than the one presupposed by the doctrine of inerrancy as it is currently defined. Enlarging these categories in no way necessitates the denial of inerrancy altogether. Rather it removes the doctrine of inerrancy from its theological pedestal and places it amongst other beliefs that might support the truth and authority of Scripture but by no means establish them. The concluding chapter ends with a statement of what this new doctrine of inerrancy might look like.

This diploma thesis discusses modern myths that appear in the selected audiovisual commercials. The commercials are part of the advertising campaign for a Galaxy Note 3 device produced by Samsung Company. The campaign was launched in the fall of 2013 and continued through the spring 2014. As Samsung is also one of the official partners of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, some of the analyzed content is dedicated to the relationship between the two. Semiotics and marketing communication provide a broad theoretical framework for the later semiotic analysis. The chapter on semiotics discusses the modern perspective on the sign theory, offering Ferdinand de Saussure's and Charles Sanders Peirce's points of view. The main focus of the thesis is, however, on the process of the so-called secondary signification and modern myths creation introduced by Roland Barthes in his Mythologies. The marketing communication chapter then introduces several theoretical starting points in the field, various marketing models, and the communication mix with the focus on advertising, its components and potential psychological effects. In the final part, selected commercials are introduced along with the plot description and a semiotic analysis of the environment, characters, individual elements, images, colors and the...

Cette thèse a pour objet l’invention de soi chez Patrick Modiano. Le syntagme invention de soi peut s’interpréter de trois manières différentes selon que l’on met l’accent sur la recherche de l’identité pour répondre à la question qui suis-je ?, ou que l’on interroge la rhétorique pour y chercher les idées et arguments pour composer son discours ou encore que l’on ne fasse appel qu’à sa mémoire puisque rien de nouveau n’a été inventé. De ses trois approches, la première guide en majorité les travaux de cette thèse, menée à l’aide des outils traditionnels de l’analyse littéraire et en excluant toute approche psychanalytique que Patrick Modiano récuse pour lui-même. La démarche suivie l’est en trois points. Dans un premier temps, il s’agit de rechercher ce qui alimente l’œuvre romanesque de Patrick Modiano, entre l’Histoire et plus particulièrement l’histoire de la Collaboration en France entre 1940 et 1944 ou de la fin de la guerre d’Algérie, très présente dans plusieurs de ses romans, ses sources littéraires et plus spécialement des auteurs antisémites de l’entre-deux guerres qu’il cite souvent et sa vie partagée, c'est-à-dire partagée avec ses lecteurs. Ensuite il s’agit de se demander chez cet auteur qui pratique quasiment exclusivement le Je-narrateur, quel est le genre de ses récits entre roman, autobiographie et autofiction. Enfin la question de son identité est posée : qu’est ce pour lui être né en 1945, être le fils d’un collaborateur ou présumé tel, être fils d’un Juif ou encore être écrivain ? Ces analyses nous permettent de répondre à la question posée par cette thèse et de déterminer de quelle manière Patrick Modiano s’invente soi-même dans ses récits. Est-ce en s’inventant de fausses dates de naissance, une fausse date de mariage de ses parents, une fausse sœur ou un faux oncle ou ne serait-ce pas plutôt en s’inventant à chaque récit une identité imaginaire comme si elle était la sienne, pour l’abandonner au récit suivant et en reprendre alors une nouvelle ? / This dissertation addresses the question of the invention of oneself by Patrick Modiano. The terms invention of oneself can be interpreted on three ways, depending on the manner the accent is made on the definition of identity, answering the question : “Who am I?”, or finding the ideas and arguments to prepare a discourse as it is done in the rhetoric or questioning one’s memory as nothing new can be invented. Amongst these three approaches, the first one about the question of identity is mainly studied with the literary tools, excluding the psychoanalytical view which is rejected by Patrick Modiano himself. A three steps approach is followed. At first we analyze how the Patrick Modiano’s romanesque art is influenced by History, mainly the history of the French collaboration during World War II but also by the history of the Algeria war at the beginning of the sixties, his literary sources mainly among French anti-Semite authors who published their books just before World War II, and of course his shared life, that is to say the life he is sharing with the readers. The following question concerns the literary genre of the novels written by an author using the I narrator. Is he writing novels, autobiographies or autofictions? The last issue is about the question of identity: what does it mean for Patrick Modiano to be born in 1945, to be the son of a supposed collaborator, or the son of a Jew, or to be a writer? Answering these different questions should help to approach the definition of the invention of oneself. Is it related to the invention of several birth dates, a false date for the wedding of his parents or imaginary family members for himself or on the opposite is it related to the invention of a new imaginary identity at each novel till the previous identity is abandoned and a new imaginary identity is created in the following novel?

The case of supposed (alleged) Ferdinand Peroutka's article Hitler is gentleman which caused on 27th January 2015 at the conference Let My People Live! in Prague president Milos Zeman filled up the Czech news media. The aim of this thesis is to explore and analyse how these case was displayed in the media and how have the media approached to this case. This work is trying to assess the extent of media content in these media, the presence and importance of the communication and is also focused on the deeper meaning of the investigated material. The goal was to bring a sight and aspects of the possible inclination of the media, as an institution, to either side of the dispute. Traditional media like television, radio and press, were the main research sample. In addition to Czech Television it was extended for a second public service medium Czech Radio. As an additional source of traditional media the newspaper Lidove noviny and the magazines Respekt and Reflex were chosen. The main actor of the case is the president of the state and his spokesman who tried to find a allegedly non-existent article. This work will therefore focus on the parsing and the analysis of aspects related to their appearance and action. Ferdinand Peroutka was accused of fascination with Nazism, media did "support" this affair...
