Pontuaremos seu início avant la lettre nos escritos que antecedem Eros e Civilização, (1964) - obra na qual o conceito consolida-se em definitivo na obra do filósofo. Veremos em seguida seu eclipse temporário ante o conformismo político resultante da unidimensionalização do pensamento, que torna o individuo e a cultura reféns do status quo, dificultando a emergência de estratégias de superação. Finalmente, apreciaremos sua concretização na Contra Cultura e na arte, e quais os papeis estratégicos que Marcuse lhes assinala como precursores da emancipação humana. / This writing aims to explain the itinerary of the Great Refusal in the work of Herbert Marcuse. We will focus on its beginnings avant la lettre in the writings preceding Eros and Civilization (1964) – in which work this concept eventually consolidates itself. We will follow then its temporary eclipse before the generalized political conformity resulting from the “onedimensionalization” of thought, which makes both individuals and culture hostage to the existing system, making it hard for overcoming strategies to emerge. Finally, we will analyze its concretization in Counter Culture and art, as well as which strategic roles Marcuse assigns to them as precursors of human emancipation.

abstract: Herbert G. Klein was one of the important political figures of the mid to late 20th Century. Born in 1918, Klein’s career spanned 63 years. He retired as Editor-in-Chief of Copley Press, a company he worked for from the start of his career as a young journalist covering an up-and-coming Richard Nixon and was active in public affairs up to his death in 2009. Klein is best known as longtime advisor to Richard Nixon, and was with Nixon at peak moments in his career, including the Checkers Speech, as well as Nixon’s 1960 and 1962 campaigns. Upon Nixon’s election as President, Klein became the White House Director of Communications, a new position Klein was tasked with designing. For four years, Klein is known as one of Nixon’s chief advisors. But then, for reasons historians never have fully explored, he disappears from Nixon’s political landscape as well as from scholarly and public prominence. The purpose of this dissertation is to establish Herbert G. Klein as a formative figure in the Richard Nixon White House, whose contributions to Nixon’s television strategies, their subsequent impact on the President’s actions and attitudes and eventual fall, have been largely overshadowed in the scholarly literature. The work draws from previously unexplored materials on Klein in the Nixon Library. The account is notable for the first examination of Klein’s only known oral history, lessening a gap in the existing literature on Nixon’s aides and his relationship with the media. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Journalism and Mass Communication 2017

O projeto de uma filosofia da psicanálise em Eros e Civilização apresenta a teoria crítica da economia libidinal da sociedade industrial avançada, configurada pela angústia de uma estrutura cultural cujas possibilidades abertas para a gratificação dos desejos logo são impedidas pela dialética fatal própria à lógica da dominação. Esta escolha expressa uma trajetória intelectual que sempre se questionou pela revolução que nunca aconteceu. Desde a juventude, Marcuse procurou conferir bases seguras para esta perspectiva. Justamente por esta busca, o filósofo depara-se com a ontologia fenomenológica de Heidegger, absorvendo questões existenciais fundantes, sobretudo, a da relação entre o homem e o mundo. Isto não significa uma filiação direta de Marcuse ao pensamento heideggeriano, mas uma relação permeada por divergências. Esta trajetória intelectual, de outro modo, não se desenvolve por um afastamento da ontologia, como muitos comentadores propõem ao valorizar a perspectiva antropológica de Marcuse. Contrariamente, nossa pesquisa aponta o aprofundamento do discurso ontológico do filósofo, não mais apoiado no esvaziamento positivo do Dasein, mas na concretude negativa da dinâmica histórica. Esta ontologia alcança camadas profundas da história da dominação, cuja arqueologia é apresentada pela teoria psicanalítica das pulsões. Eros e Civilização alcança, pois, o limiar entre natureza e cultura, encontrando aí não apenas a lógica da dominação, mas também possibilidades para sua superação, formulada por uma lógica da gratificação em uma civilização não-repressiva. / The project of philosophy of psychoanalysis in Eros and Civilization presents a critical theory of the libidinal economy of advanced industrial society, that is configurated upon the anxiety of a cultural structure, in which the possibilities of gratification of desires are soon prevented by the fatal dialectics of the logic of domination. Such a choice reflects an intelectual trajectory that was always inquired about a revolution that never happened. Since his youth, Marcuse tried to stablished steady bases to this revolutionary perspective. And exactly for this reason, the philosopher was lead to dial with the phenomenological ontology of Heidegger, incorporating fundamental existencial questions, above all, that of the relations between man and the world. It does not mean a direct filiation between Marcuse and the heideggerian thought, but a relation full with divergences. Otherwise, this intelectual trajectory doesn´t develop from a removal of ontology, like many commentators propose, giving a value to an anthropological view in Marcuse. Our research points towards the deeping of the ontological discourse by the philosopher, no more based on the positive empting of Dasein, but on the negative concretude of the historical dynamics. This ontology reachs deep layers of the history of domination, the archeology of which is showed by the psychoanalytical theory of instincts. Eros and Civilization reaches then the boudary between nature and culture and finds there, not only the logics of domination, but also the possibilities of its overcoming formulated in terms of a logics of gratification in an unrepressive civilization.

The focus of this dissertation is Frank Herbert‘s use of messiahs and martyrs in selected novels of the Dune Chronicles. I make connections with Herbert‘s studies, inspirations and background to his treatment of religion, establishing the translation of these ideas in the texts. To identify and study every aspect of religion in the series is impossible; however, I will include other features that I deem important to my understanding of the religious theme in these texts. I intend to scrutinize these novels to find evidence of Herbert‘s claim that he studied religion at great length. I will also observe Herbert‘s attitude to and engagement with religion in the Dune Chronicles / English Studies / M.A. (English Studies)

In 1919 Lawrence left England to search for a better society; his novels and travel sketches (the latter are usually seen as peripheral to the novels) continually questioned the values of Western society. This study examines D.H. Lawrence's great 'English' novels in the light of their vivid portrayal of place and community. However, to procure a new emphasis the novels and travel writing are brought into close alignment, in order to examine the way in which the sorts of philosophical questions Lawrence was interested in - ideas on human character, marriage, social structures, God, time, and history - influence his portrayal of place and community across both these genres. Chapter I, on Sons and Lovers, emphasises the way social and historical factors can shape human relationships as powerfully as personal psychology. In Chapter II, on Twilight in Italy, discussion of the effect of place on human character is broadened into a consideration of the differences between the Italian and English psyche; the philosophical passages are read in the light of revisions made to the periodical version. Chapters III and IV, on The Rainbow and Women in Love, conscious of the critique of English society that Lawrence made in Twilight, recognise that although Lawrence is concerned to show the flow of individual being he is no less interested in the relationship between the self and society, and the clash between psychological needs and social structures like work, marriage and industrialisation. Chapter V, on Sea and Sardinia, examines Lawrence's realisation that the state of travel engages with the present and impacts on individual needs and identity. Chapter VI, on Mornings in Mexico, studies the way Lawrence transcended the journalism usual to the travel genre and maintained a deep spirituality as he pondered the attributes of a primitive society and its appropriateness to Western Society. Because travel writing is both reactive and subjective (a writer's reaction to a country is underpinned by the metatext of his own concerns), I ask if Lawrence's presentation of experience can be thought of as accurate or whether places and people are constructs of his imagination. Chapter VIII examines Lady Chatterley's Lover as Lawrence's attempt to bring together the attitudes to sex, class and education witnessed on his travels with an English setting; to envisage a way of living that would meet the deep-rooted needs of man. Chapter VIII, on Etruscan Places, shows Lawrence conscious of encountering the ultimate journey, death, and pays tribute to the fact that while the book searches for philosophical answers on how to die, it is at the same time a paean to life and the beauty of landscape.

The “Rose Herbert Community Center” is the culmination of a project questioning how a building can be restored to its original integrity when its initial function has become extinct. This thesis considers the Broad Street Station in Richmond, Virginia and explores the options and implications of returning the building to a hub of interaction within the community. Concepts such as functionally malleable spaces, the transition from a very public environment to a more private area, and the creation of intentional interaction versus coexistence are explored.
