Study about the poet João Cabral de Melo Neto through his book Morte e Vida Severina , written in 1954, which is a dramatic poem that approaches the tough life of the people from the Northeast Brazil and its social and historical aspects. In his literature, João Cabral mixes the historical moment to biographical elements in order to achieve an identity as a poet, he deals with images and facts, and consequently he can t consider poetry without History. Thus, the comprehension of João Cabral poetry depends on the comprehension of the historical moment, since the text dialogs constantly with concepts as culture and space. This research analyzes the connection between History and Literature, in order to show the poetry as a reflection of time and memory. This study uses a literary composition as its main source to investigate the Pernambuco society through the 50 s. Maybe this is the way to contribute to overcoming the ever-growing gap that separates the dream-like landscapes from daily life´s / A presente dissertação faz uma articulação da História com a Literatura, numa reflexão do ser e da cidade do Recife. Tem como objetos de estudo o poeta João Cabral de Melo Neto e sua obra Morte e Vida Severina - Auto de Natal Pernambucano , de 1954, poema dramático que nos conduz ao fluxo do rio da vida severina e nos leva a refletir sobre questões sociais e históricas que procuram levantar um retrato das condições e dos problemas do homem nordestino. Ler a lógica de uma obra literária é um modo de ligar-se a uma realidade histórica e, ao mesmo tempo, reconhecer os processos biográficos e a busca da identidade do poeta João Cabral. Seu trabalho com a palavra se faz na construção das imagens e dos fatos, pois não existe para ele poesia sem os acontecimentos e sem História. Assim, a abordagem do contexto histórico que origina a obra literária se coloca como compreensão da própria obra. Poesia com a qual se estabelece um diálogo constante, na perspectiva de pensar conceitos importantes como espaço e cultura. Analisa-se, ainda, a junção entre história e literatura, evidenciando-se que a palavra poética apresenta tempos e memória. Neste caso, a pesquisa propõe um novo olhar histórico que se utiliza de uma obra poética como fonte. Pondera, também, uma obra literária como percepção crítica e histórica da sociedade de Pernambuco dos anos 50. Talvez este seja um caminho possível de contribuir para a superação do desvão que separa as paisagens de sonho

This dissertation examines the practice of writing military history in conjunction with military theory. It shows that in the pursuit of establishing military theory, military history is often actively distorted and manipulated by military theorists. Those military theorists who, consciously or subconsciously, succumb to this practice are identified here as "theorist-historians". The effect of this manipulation, its implications and consequences for the field of study as a whole are examined, as is the didactic nature of military history in the light of historical accuracy. In conclusion the role and effect of the military theorist~historians are evaluated against those of purely academic historians. The unique didactic needs of military history are also highlighted. Two twentieth century British military theorists, B. H. Liddell Hart and J. F. C. Fuller, were chosen as being representative of the military theorist-historian group. / Political Science / M.A. (International Politics)

My thesis discusses the ways in which Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies (1994) and In the Name of Salomé (2000) are revolutionary texts contesting traditional, male dominated history and redirecting historical and communal foci to the lives of Dominican women. I employ Walter Benjamin's theories found in his essays "The Storyteller" (1936) and "On the Concept of History" (1940) to assist my exploration of Alvarez's questions concerning the power and effect of storytelling, and the importance of reconstructing various historical voices and images, specifically, the importance of reconstructing female voices in male dominated cultures. I discuss the female-narrated component to Dominican history which Alvarez creates in her reconstruction of the lives of these women. Alvarez confronts the challenge of breaking these women out of their marginalized status by combining fiction with history in her reconstruction of their lives. Alvarez assumes the multifaceted role of mediator, story-teller, and historian as she remembers and re-presents Dominican history through the eyes of women who lived, experienced, and affected change within the Dominican Republic. Without merely act as a reporter of historical "facts," Alvarez reconstructs the lives of these women fictionally, applying her impressions and ideas about the personalities, feelings, and thoughts of these women, and historically, utilizing first and secondhand accounts and information about the women. Ultimately, the women are presented as individuals but are also connected to a collective memory and history. As individuals with human characteristics, the women are no longer inaccessible legends. As members of a collective memory and history, the women are redeemed from the isolating effect of their patriarchal society which would have women remain silent. Due to Alvarez's reconstruction, their stories finally have the potential for further dissemination in the future with the possibility to affect other oppressed peoples. Thus, Alvarez's reconstruction of the resistance of a few women in Dominican history produces the capacity for additional resistance by Alvarez's audience to the same forces that these women were combating which continue to exist today — forces such as patriarchy, dictatorial governments, fascism, and economic disparity.
