Este estudo analisa a presença, apropriação e influência da Índia no período de gênese da filosofia de Schopenhauer (1811-1818). De modo a sustentar tal tese, este trabalho buscou conjurar rigor histórico e filosófico. Os materiais históricos analisados são três obras consultadas pelo filósofo e que foram tomadas de empréstimo nas bibliotecas de Weimar e de Dresden, entre os anos de 1813 a 1816: Asiatisches Magazin (dois volumes), Mythologie des Indous (dois volumes) e Asiatick Researches (os nove primeiros volumes). Nelas estão presentes conceitos indianos importantes para Schopenhauer, por exemplo: Māyā, Brahman, Ātman, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, liṅgaṃ, saṁnyāsins, Buddha, Tat tvam asi, metempsicose, nirvāṇa, dentre outros. Conceitos igualmente presentes nos Manuscritos schopenhauerianos, assim como em sua obra capital, O mundo como vontade e representação, publicada em 1818. O objetivo é demonstrar que a \"Índia schopenhaueriana\" se fez a partir de contribuições para além da obra Oupnek\'hat (Upani?ads). De fato, como se buscou evidenciar, as três obras aqui analisadas foram fundamentais para o entendimento adquirido pelo filósofo acerca do hinduísmo e budismo. / This study analyzes the presence, appropriation and influence of India in the period of genesis of the Schopenhauer\'s philosophy (1811-1818). In order to sustain such a thesis, this work tries to develop a rigorous analyzis, both philosophic and historic. The historical materials analyzed here are three works consulted by the philosopher and borrowed from the libraries of Weimar and Dresden between 1813 and 1816: Asiatisches Magazin (two volumes), Mythologie des Indous (two volumes) and Asiatick Researches (the first nine volumes). In them it can be found important Indian concepts to Schopenhauer, such as Māyā, Brahman, Ātman, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, liṅgaṃ, saṁnyāsins, Buddha, Tat tvam asi, metempsicose, nirvāṇa, among others. Concepts that are present in the Schopenhauerian Manuscripts, as well as in his capital work, The World as Will and Representation, published in 1818. My goal is to demonstrate that the \"Schopenhauerian India\" was built upon contributions that transcendend those he obtained from the Oupnek\'hat (Upani?ads). Indeed, as I will try to prove, these three works on India were fundamental to the understanding acquired by the philosopher about Hinduism and Buddhism.

Este trabalho apresenta os procedimentos composicionais das peças Murlidhar, Mahakal, Miniatura e O ciclo do tempo. Sendo esta ultima a principal, devido as ferramentas composicionais terem sido experimentadas com maior liberdade. As peças deste projeto utilizaram mitos e ritos do hinduísmo e conceitos da filosofia do Raja Yoga como motivadores para a imaginação sonora e para o desenvolvimento de técnicas de estruturação. Destaca-se, entre as técnicas utilizadas, a que denominei estrutura de ritmos cíclicos, cuja elaboração teve como referência o time point system de Miltton Babbitt. / This paper presents the compositional procedures of Murlidhar, Mahakal, Miniature and The Cycle of Time, the latter being the main piece because the compositional tools have been used with more freedom. The pieces of this project utilized Hinduism myths and rites and Raj Yoga Phylosophy concepts as motivators to the sound imagination and for the development of structuring techniques. Standing out among the techniques used is the one I called Cyclic Rhythms Structure, which had as a reference for its making Milton Babbitt’s time point system.

This essay analyses how Judaism and Hinduism are portrayed in textbooks of religion. To get a width in the study three textbooks from different publishers are examined. The analysed textbooks are produced for secondary school according to the newest curriculum from 2011. The study inspects whether the books are consistent or not and if they are in what way and in which aspects the textbooks are inconsistent. It also focuses on generalizations and the problems that follow with it. The material has been divided into six categories. Then the categories are examined one by one and with the different perspectives of consistency and generalization.  The textbooks that have been studied are all inconsistent in some respect in their portrayals of the religions in question. These inconsistencies are mostly about the amount of space different aspects of both religions get. Sometimes one part of Judaism is well described while the same part is missing in the chapter about Hinduism.  Plenty of generalizations are found in the textbooks. These encourage the reader to think of the religions as more uniform than they really are. This also leads to certain people representing the entire religion. In Judaism it is the Orthodox Jews that are most often represented and in Hinduism it is Indian Hinduism that is described. This entails that the groups that are presented in the textbooks become stereotypes. Students may be led to believe that these are the only ways to practice the religious traditions.

This dissertation studies certain Hindi and Persian narratives of the War of Succession (1658) to succeed Shah Jahan (r.1627-1658). All the narratives under study were written during the reign of Aurangzeb (r.1658-1707), the successor of Shah Jahan. The study evaluates the significance of the War as a landmark moment in the social history of India, especially in the formation and inter-relationships between religious communities. The dissertation demarcates the larger epistemological and ontological canvas on which these communities took shape and interacted with each other. The research outlines the ways and the contexts in which terms such as Hindu, momin, musalman, Islam, din and Rajput were deployed in literary texts. It asks whether Hinduism and Islam were two disparate traditions, as previous histories of the War and Mughal India had contended. The dissertation argues that social communities of Hindus and Muslims were mutually and similarly circumscribed within an Islamic worldview and concept of din. Hindu traditions could portray Muslims in concepts and terms borrowed from Indian epics but within an over-arching Islamic cultural dispensation. The War was not a moment of evolution between two independent Hindu and Muslim traditions. Rather, the War was a moment that saw the evolution, even if it be of an antagonistic kind, of Hindu and Muslim traditions within a larger Islamic framework. Besides the above primary focus, the dissertation provides the reader with important insights and overviews regarding allied subjects such as the literary histories of Persian and of Hindi/Urdu, especially in the Dingal and Khari Boli dialects, the political culture of Hindu India, Rajput political culture, Mughal political culture, patronage networks in Mughal India, notions of soldierly duty in seventeenth century India, language and status, preaching in the Hindu and Islamic traditions, the sociological ideas of acculturation and Islamisation, and twentieth century history-writing.
