De son vivant Huysmans a fait l’objet de critiques contradictoires et de vives polémiques. En proposant un ensemble de plus de 300 articles, qui illustrent les premières réactions de la critique devant son œuvre, du Drageoir à épices (1874) à À vau-l’eau (1882), cette thèse tente de dégager les principaux thèmes auxquels s’attachent les commentateurs et les sujets qui les opposent.La première notoriété de Huysmans est le fruit de son engagement dans la bataille naturaliste. Son étude sur L’Assommoir, publiée dans L’Actualité de Bruxelles en 1877, et sa contribution aux Soirées de Médan, en 1880, montrent son adhésion à la nouvelle école. Et la critique ne manque pas de situer ses premiers écrits dans le sillage de Goncourt et de Zola.Si quelques critiques reconnaissent le talent de Huysmans, d’autres le discréditent. Son style, qui séduit les uns, choque les autres. De nombreux chroniqueurs condamnent l’immoralité de Marthe, déplorent la présence de motifs scatologiques dans Les Sœurs Vatard, En ménage et Sac au dos, déprécient En ménage et À vau-l’eau pour l’absence d’intrigue et la vision pessimiste qui s’en dégage.Rares sont les commentaires sensibles aux aspects novateurs de son œuvre, à la promesse d’un affranchissement par rapport à l’esthétique naturaliste, et au fait que Huysmans réussit à se distinguer en réalisant sa double ambition : se faire connaître et conserver son autonomie. / During his lifetime, Huysmans was the object of varied and sometimes controversial criticism. By proposing more than 300 articles that illustrate the critics’ first reactions to Huysmans’s work, from Drageoir à épices (1874) to À vau-l’eau (1882), this thesis aims to identify the main themes presented by critics and those who oppose them.Huysmans first came to prominence thanks to his commitment to the naturalist cause. His study of L’Assommoir, published in L’Actualité of Brussels in 1877, and his contribution to the Soirées de Médan, in 1880, are evidence of his belonging to the new school, and critics would soon enough place Huysmans’s first texts in the footsteps of Goncourt and Zola.If a number of critics appreciate Huysmans’s talent, many others discredit him. His style, seductive for some, can be shocking for others. Many chroniclers condemn the immorality of Marthe, deplore the presence of scatological motifs in Les Sœurs Vatard, En ménage and Sac au dos, and even depreciate En ménage and À vau-l’eau for their lack of intrigue and their pessimistic points of view.Few are the comments which recognize the innovative aspects of his work, the promise of emancipation from the naturalist aesthetic and the fact that Huysmans distinguishes himself by reaching his double ambition: being both well-known and keeping his autonomy.

Mission statement is important to companies, especially as a strategic communication tool with stakeholders. Innovation is also important to companies and has its implications on performance. This study examines the relationship between financial performance and explicitly communicating innovation in mission statement. The study uses a quantitative approach with logistic regression to test empirical hypotheses related to revenues, profits, change in assets and market value, and their relationship with explicitly communicating innovation in mission statements. The conclusion is that among all the financial performance indicators considered, only market value represents a strong and significant result, indicating a positive relationship with explicitly communicating innovation.

Following a general survey of the critical texts on the poet‘s work, a decision was taken to adopt as a review corpus only those produced from 1951 to 1960. This phase involves the critique of such books as Silêncio e Palavras (1951), Narciso Cego (1952), A Lenda da Rosa (1955) and Vento Geral (1984); the other part was uncovered through searches into databanks, libraries, public domain private collections. As a theoretical assumption, the concepts used by Pascale Casanova in A República Mundial das Letras, that reviews the tensions in the relationships between author literary critic, the notion of national and universal writer, the concepts of modern and classical and the common difficulties of a greater part of writers to impose themselves within the literary space. The background of the different profiles of the Brazilian literary criticism as presented in the studies by Afrânio Coutinho, Antonio Candido and Flora Süssekind was deemed necessary on account of the nature of the research work. The critical works by Álvaro Lins, Carlos Castelo Branco, Emanuel de Moraes, Waldemar Baptista de Salles, Gilberto Freyre, Sérgio Milliet, Manuel Bandeira, Alcântara Silveira, Virgínius da Gama e Melo and Santos Moraes have been included in the results of the research work. The review of such texts unveils relevant aspects of the dynamics of the national literary system. / Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta o estudo da primeira fase da fortuna crítica de Thiago de Mello. Após um levantamento geral dos textos críticos sobre a obra do poeta, decidiu-se por adotar como corpus de análise apenas aqueles produzidos de 1951 a 1960. Essa fase compreende a crítica dos livros Silêncio e Palavra (1951), Narciso Cego (1952), A Lenda da Rosa (1955) e Vento Geral (1960). Uma parte do material de análise foi encontrada na segunda edição do Vento Geral (1984); a outra parte foi descoberta através de buscas em bancos de dados, bibliotecas, acervos particulares sob domínio público. Como pressuposto teórico, emprega-se os conceitos discutidos por Pascale Casanova, em A República Mundial das Letras, que analisa a tensão nas relações entre autor e crítico, a noção de escritor nacional e universal, os conceitos de moderno e de clássico e as dificuldades comuns de grande parte dos escritores para se impor no espaço literário. Em função da natureza da pesquisa, fez-se necessário o histórico dos diferentes perfis da crítica literária brasileira presente nos estudos de Afrânio Coutinho, Antonio Candido e Flora Süssekind. No resultado da pesquisa, constam as críticas de Álvaro Lins, de Carlos Castelo Branco, de Emanuel de Moraes, de Waldemar Baptista de Salles, de Gilberto Freyre, de Sérgio Milliet, de Manuel Bandeira, de Alcântara Silveira, de Virgínius da Gama e Melo e de Santos Moraes. A análise desses textos revela aspectos relevantes da dinâmica do sistema literário nacional.

This thesis mainly elaborates on male and female characters¡¦ interaction with and response to property in Henry Fielding¡¦s Tom Jones. I divide property into two possessions: fortune and liberty. Fortune plays a controlling means to reflect the subtle change of human nature on the matter of morality. Also, the deprivation of liberty shows female¡¦s position in marriage and gender¡¦s equality in society. Either morality or gender issue is a challenge to tradition in the eighteenth century. I particularly analyze how Fielding puts these two issues into this novel and the messages he attempts to deliver to us. This thesis consists of three chapters. In chapter one, I focus on the interaction between human nature and property. In chapter two, I deal with male dominance over female autonomy in marriage. In the last chapter, I discuss the reverse positions between men and women as they stand upon in chapter two by the examples of Jones and his three lovers.

The long-term effects of participation in high school sports were the focus of this study. Ten top-level managers in Fortune 500 companies were asked about participation in high school sports and the enduring effects of that participation. Five men (one black) and five women (one Asian) participated in the study. Interviewing, observing offices, and reviewing high school yearbooks were the methods of data collection. The data were analyzed using the constant-comparative method of Maykut and Morehouse (1994). Based on the literature and the development of a sports participation theory, data were collected on the organizational and personal variables affecting participation in high school sports, and the sports participation variables affecting later life. Long-term effects of sports participation in high school were identified in 13 areas: (1) being competitive, (2) being goal oriented, (3) being physically active, (4) making friends, (5) developing leadership skills, (6) enhancing self-esteem, (7) displaying sports paraphernalia, (8) practicing sports philosophy, (9) working as a team, (10) acquiring skills not taught in a classroom, (11) managing time, (12) volunteering, and (13) working with diverse groups. These findings may be helpful to school administrators and policy makers as they evaluate the benefits and liabilities of their sports programs. / Ph. D.
