It also recognizes that said networks will built the visibility spaces constructed by society, and disputed by historic actors, that generates symbolic production. As a central objective, this work aims to investigate if there were changes to the production of meaning on the part of the electorate starting with the television propaganda during the 2016’s Mayor elections in Goiânia and if they could be better understood, as a communicational event, under the light of Braga’s (2011) interactional devices, and concludes by proposing an activation element in communicational processes attached to said devices. In depth interviews, in two groups before and after the HGPE programs, were used as a qualitative research tool investigating the candidates, Mayor and municipal management’s public image and the changes occurred in the process. / Este trabalho começa por reconhecer, ancorado em alguns autores, que a forma de midiatização da sociedade resulta de um processo que nasce das necessidades de interação do homem, desde o seu surgimento, que é da condição humana, de formação do “eu”, e que, combinada à onda incessante de novas tecnologias, fez e faz surgir redes comunicacionais de várias ordens. Também reconhece que tais redes vão constituir os espaços de visibilidade construídos em sociedade, disputados pelos sujeitos históricos, que geram produção simbólica. Como objetivo central, este trabalho visa investigar se houve transformações de produção de sentido por parte do eleitor a partir dos programas eleitorais da televisão, na eleição para prefeito de Goiânia em 2016, e se elas podem ser melhor compreendidas, como um episódio comunicacional, à luz do conceito de dispositivo interacional, de Braga (2011), e termina por propor a indicação de um elemento de ativação de processos comunicacionais vinculados a tais dispositivos. Como ferramenta de pesquisa qualitativa foram utilizadas entrevistas em profundidade para investigar a imagem pública dos candidatos, do prefeito e da gestão municipal, em dois grupos, antes e depois dos programas do HGPE, verificando as alterações ocorridas.

Depuis le début des années 1990, Marcos Novak développe une architecture numérique expérimentale qu’il appelle « transarchitecture ». Le fil directeur de cette dernière est l’idée d’un « devenir alien », c’est-à-dire un devenir autre radical de l’homme comme de l’architecture, de l’habitant comme de l’habitation, impulsé par les nouvelles technologies. L’objet de cette recherche est d’interroger la notion de « devenir alien » à partir et à travers deux figures de l’étrangeté humaine : l’Unheimliche, théorisé par Sigmund Freud, et l’Unheimlichkeit, développé par Martin Heidegger. Notre thèse est que le « devenir alien » est une nouvelle figure de l’étrangeté, propre à notre époque. Quand l’Unheimliche serait la figure d’une étrangeté psychologique et l’Unheimlichkeit celle d’une étrangeté ontologique, le « devenir alien » serait la figure d’une « étrangeté numérique ». Par cette expression, nous visons à qualifier l’effacement des dichotomies classiques (proche/lointain, naturel/artificiel, organique/synthétique, etc.) entraîné par nos technologies et l’effet d’étrangeté diffus qui semble en résulter, affectant l’ensemble de nos expériences, de nos représentations et de notre habitation du monde.Nous proposons, enfin, de considérer en quoi, par la « transarchitecture » et la notion de « devenir alien », s’ébauchent à la fois la possibilité d’un « faire-monde » nouveau, ouvrant la voie à un réenchantement, et le risque d’une « immondation ». C’est alors la question de l’éthique qui émerge, une éthique technologique, mais aussi écologique, économique et politique : en somme, une éthique de l’habitation du monde que l’architecture doit plus que jamais porter.Mots-clés : inquiétante étrangeté, « transarchitecture », condition humaine, corps, identité, devenir, habitation, désenchantement/réenchantement, éthique. / Since the early 1990s, Marcos Novak has promoted a digital and experimental architecture called “transarchitecture.” The guiding principle of it is the idea of “becoming alien,” that is to say a radical becoming other of man and architecture, inhabitant and inhabitation, driven by new technologies.The purpose of this research is to examine the notion of "becoming alien" from and through two figures of human uncanniness: the Unheimliche theorized by Sigmund Freud, and the Unheimlichkeit developed by Martin Heidegger.Our thesis is that “becoming alien” is a new figure of uncanniness, proper to our time. When the Unheimliche would figure a psychological uncanniness, and the Unheimlichkeit an ontological one, “becoming alien” would be a figure of a “digital uncanniness.”By this expression, we aim to qualify the erasure of conventional dichotomies (near / far, natural / artificial, organic / synthetic, etc.) carried by our technologies, as well as the effect of diffuse strangeness that seems to result of it, affecting all of our experiences, our representations our inhabitation of the world.Finally, we suggest considering the ways in which “transarchitectures” and the notion of “becoming alien” sketch out both the possibility of a new “worldmaking” paving the way for a reenchantment, and the risk of a “deworldlizing.”Therefore, the question of ethics emerges; a technological ethics, but also an ecological, an economic and a political one: in short, an ethics of inhabitation of the world that architecture must address more than ever before.Keywords: uncanny, “transarchitecture,” human condition, body, identity, becoming, inhabitation, desenchantement/reenchantement, ethics.

In this thesis Hannah Arendt’s theories of science and technology are applied in an ethnographic study of engineering ethics. Seeking to gain further understanding of Arendt’s thoughts, her concepts of The Archimedean Point and Earth Alienation is applied in interviews with engineering students in Sweden’s Uppsala University. The purpose directing this study is thus twofold, it is an attempt to anthropologize Arendt’s thoughts of science and technology, and to further understand engineering’s ethical engagement. The study identifies a dynamic where engineering students create dichotomous mentalities. One mentality is engineering’s demand of a desubjectified instrumental rationality in inherent contradiction to an ethical consciousness, this mentality can be identified as Arendt’s Archimedean Point. In conflict to this mentality lies the intersubjectivity of a socio-politically engaged student concerned with engineering’s ability to create evil. This study makes the claim that Uppsala University’s student traditions and culture encourage the second mentality and forms an important resource for ethical engagement among students.

The thesis deals with the life and work of the most significant political thinker of the 20th century Hannah Arendt. This work seeks to provide an overall view of her work and lays out the most important aspects of her work in the field of political thought. The thesis focuses on human condition, symptoms of crisis related to the loss of tradition of political thought, as well as the question of evil associated with the emergence of mass society and totalitarian regimes. An integral part of this thesis is the presentation of political concepts which repeatedly occur in Hannah Arendt's oeuvre, and which are undoubtedly essential for human political life. key words: human condition - authority - freedom - crisis - totalitarism - evil - plurality - responsibility - tradition of political thought

This essay is an attempt to understand what Albert Camus philosophy of the absurd entails, using the figure of Sisyphus in The myth of Sisyphus as a reference. We all face the absurd: the discordance that results from the confrontation of the human longing for the absolute with the worlds non-absolute character. Camus illustrates this condition with Sisyphus among other “absurd heroes”. But what does he want to tell us about our existence with this metaphor? Is life a punishment? Or is it completely indifferent as Sisyphus improbable happiness might indicate? And how can Sisyphus represent us although he is not mortal in the original myth? In order to answer these questions, I investigate the following aspects of the absurd in this essay: what it tells us about the human condition or even the human nature; if it entails a life in indifference; how it is related to finitude; and finally in which sense Sisyphus is an adequate analogy for our existence. My analysis is a combination of an in-depth study of Camus book and a critical discussion of the commentaries of Robert C. Solomon, Arnaud Corbic, and Avi Sagi on The myth of Sisyphus. I conclude that the image of Sisyphus contains some inconsistencies, but that its main goal is to illustrate the constant act of balance, the conscious effort that never reaches its goal which life is for Camus. Such a life does however not need to be dark or indifferent, but rather on the contrary is an authentic life in knowledge of one’s boundaries and possibilities, a life where finitude highlights the value of what it restrains, a life worth living despite its difficulties. While arguing for this reading of Camus, I also attempt to show how this philosophy of the absurd already contains key elements of an ethical position which according to a common view on Camus only appears in his later works.

This is a category that evidences the search of the author in valorizing the vita activa, understood as labor, work and action. Considering that the totalitarianism of the twentieth century caused a rupture with the tradition of western political thought, Arendt proposes to think of the category of political action from a recovery of what she believes has been relegated to oblivion throughout tradition, to investigate some political phenomena, as originally manifested. In this dissertation, after the proposal of Arendt’s work is presented in general, the author's understanding about vita activa was evidenced, briefly addressing the categories of labor and work, and then presenting the main aspects of the action, based on the book The Human Condition. Finally, Arendt's analysis of modernity is clarified, along with the process of alienation from the world and the reflection on the system of councils, in which, for Arendt, political action is manifested in an authentic way / Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a categoria da ação política na obra A Condição Humana de Hannah Arendt. Essa é uma categoria que evidencia a busca de Arendt em valorizar a vita activa, entendida enquanto trabalho, obra e ação. Partindo da consideração de que o totalitarismo do século XX ocasionou uma ruptura com a tradição do pensamento político ocidental, Arendt se propõe a pensar a categoria de ação política, a partir de uma recuperação daquilo que ela acredita ter sido relegado ao esquecimento ao longo da tradição, para investigar alguns fenômenos políticos, tal qual se manifestaram originalmente. Nesta dissertação, após se apresentar de modo geral a proposta de trabalho arendtiana, evidencia-se sua compreensão a respeito da vita activa, abordando de maneira sucinta as categorias de trabalho e obra, para depois apresentar os aspectos principais da ação, tendo como base sua obra A Condição Humana. Por fim, esclarece-se a análise arendtiana a respeito da modernidade, juntamente com seu processo de alienação frente ao mundo e à reflexão acerca do sistema de conselhos, nos quais, para Arendt, a ação política se manifesta de modo autêntico

In the present days, happiness is often thought only in terms of biological life or man s vital process. The obligation of being happy is the culmination of the modern Project and the consolidation of production, labor force s reproduction and consumption of goods under the sign of private property, wealth accumulation, individualism and hyperconsumption. Our problem is not to examine actual policies of happiness but to take public happiness as an analytical perspective, for its ability to empower the critics of these policies of happiness in contemporary societies. With this work we intend to contribute with the present Social Psychology studies of happiness, especially for the opening of a new field of studies and research, articulated within the concept of public happiness / A partir do pensamento de Hannah Arendt, essa tese objetiva refletir sobre como a felicidade pública, expressão presente nos principais trabalhos da autora, pode contribuir para os debates contemporâneos que envolvem o tema da felicidade, que têm privilegiado uma única dimensão da felicidade, relacionada à vida biológica ou ao processo vital do homem. O dever de sermos felizes se apresenta como ponto de chegada do projeto inaugurado na era Moderna, em que a produção, a reprodução da força do trabalho e o consumo de bens voltados para a satisfação e o bem estar pessoal se consolidaram na sociedade contemporânea sob a forma da propriedade privada, do acúmulo da riqueza, do individualismo e do hiperconsumo. Nosso problema não é examinar as políticas da felicidade na atualidade, mas tomar a perspectiva da felicidade pública como lugar analítico, que torna fecundas as críticas às políticas da felicidade nas sociedades contemporâneas. Com este trabalho pretendemos contribuir para os estudos da felicidade na Psicologia Social Contemporânea, particularmente para a abertura de um novo campo de estudos e pesquisas em torno do conceito de felicidade pública

The central object of research is his most important work, The Denial of Death. Initially, we present the main concepts of Becker used to describe the human existence: the creatureliness of human beings, torn between their animality and the self-consciousness that helped them to emerge from nature in comparison to all of the other animals; the existential paradox; the fear of life and fear of death which cause anxiety and the need to deny death; the twin ontological motives Eros and Agape that attract human beings in opposite directions; the basic need to feel a sense of self-worth and find meaning to human existence; the defense mechanisms used to repress from consciousness the fear of death and the reality of the creatureliness; the development of human character as a vital lie; the human dependence on and fascination with an external source power, related to the transference mechanism; and the oedipal transition that develops into the causa sui project, when the socialization of the individual occurs. Then we investigate Becker s view of religion and the reasons for considering it as one of the most effective ways of providing meaning to human life, as well as ideal forms of heroism that are not found in cultural hero systems and ways of transcending creatureliness symbolically. Finally, we present an outline of the heroic individual, the main reasons for Becker to glimpse the possibility of the fusion of psychology and religion, and a reflection on his expectations for this approach. It starts with the hypothesis that the possibility of heroism offered by religion is broader than the cultural forms, since religion takes into account the dimension of the invisible; also that the individuals can develop, with the support of religion, a greater strength to bear the contradictions of their human condition, together with a safer way to find meaning to their existences. We conclude that the Becker s heroic individual must have the courage that few possess to face anxiety, despite the support offered by religion and psychoanalysis / A presente dissertação busca realizar uma análise da condição humana em Ernest Becker (1924-1974) e o papel da religião para sustentar o ser humano diante do temor da morte e da precariedade de sua condição de criatura. O objeto central da pesquisa é sua mais importante obra, A Negação da Morte. Inicialmente, são apresentados os principais conceitos de Becker utilizados para descrever a existência humana: a condição de criatura do ser humano, dividido entre sua animalidade e a auto-consciência que o destacou dos outros animas na natureza; o paradoxo existencial; os temores da vida e da morte, que provocam angústia e necessidade de negar a morte; os dúplices motivos ontológicos Eros e Ágape que atraem o ser humano para direções opostas; a necessidade básica de sentir o próprio valor e encontrar sentido para a existência; os mecanismos de defesa utilizados para reprimir da consciência o temor da mortalidade e a realidade da condição de criatura; o desenvolvimento do caráter como mentira vital; a dependência e o fascínio por uma fonte de poder externo, relacionados ao mecanismo de transferência; e a transição edipiana que se desenvolve para o projeto causa sui, a partir da socialização do indivíduo. Em seguida, investiga-se a compreensão de Becker sobre a religião, e as razões para considerá-la como um dos meios mais eficientes para fornecer significado à vida humana, assim como: proporcionar formas de heroísmo ideal que não se encontram nos sistemas de heróís da cultura; e permitir uma transcendência simbólica da condição de criatura. Por último, é apresentado um esboço do indivíduo heróico, as principais razões de Becker para vislumbrar a possibilidade de uma aproximação entre psicologia e religião, e uma reflexão sobre suas expectativas em relação a essa aproximação. Parte-se da hipótese que, sendo a possibilidade de heroísmo oferecida pela religião mais abrangente que a cultural, ao levar em conta a dimensão do invisível, o ser humano pode desenvolver, com o auxílio da religião, uma maior resistência para suportar as contradições de sua condição e um meio mais seguro de encontrar significado para a existência. Conclui-se que o indivíduo heróico de Becker precisa possuir uma coragem que poucos possuem para enfrentar a angústia, apesar do suporte oferecido pela religião e pela psicanálise

Halfway in the transition from the XIXth century, which was marked by the theoretical optimism of rationalism and the primacy of conscience, to the XXth century, which main characteristic was the crisis of the reason, psychoanalysis has emerged as a new science about the human soul, having as foundations the unconscious and the drives. Similarly, Schopenhauer had, one hundred years before, in the transition from the XVIIIth to the XIXth century, put in doubt not only the attempts at metaphysically interpreting the world optimistically, but also the notions of the German romantic idealists who, as a rule, in following the tradition, postulated an absolute rational principle of the world. Schopenhauer, in his philosophy, elaborates his thinking by situating the essence of man not in conscience and reason, but in the Will, which he considered to be an irrational impulse. We will depart from the notion of the tragic among the Ancient Greeks, crossing the path of modern philosophy, and finally arriving at psychoanalysis / O estudo dos textos freudianos, a partir da perspectiva estabelecida pelos encontros e desencontros que Freud promove entre a psicanálise e a filosofia schopenhaueriana, permite investigar as possíveis aproximações e distanciamentos entre a concepção e o modo de enfrentamento do trágico em Freud e em Schopenhauer. Em meio à transição do século XIX, marcado pelo otimismo teórico do racionalismo e do primado da consciência, para o século XX, caracterizado pela crise da razão, Freud funda a psicanálise, uma nova ciência sobre a alma humana que postula como fundamentos o inconsciente e as pulsões. Da mesma maneira, cem anos antes, na transição do século XVIII para o XIX, Schopenhauer já havia problematizado as tentativas de interpretar metafisicamente o mundo de maneira otimista e também as concepções dos idealistas românticos alemães, que, de modo geral, ao seguirem a tradição, postulavam um princípio racional absoluto do mundo. Em sua filosofia, Schopenhauer elabora um pensamento que situa a essência do homem não na consciência e na razão, mas na Vontade, considerada por ele um impulso irracional. Partiremos do estudo da concepção de trágico desde a Antiguidade grega, passando pela filosofia moderna, até chegarmos à psicanálise

It focuses on the investigation of tragic as a concern that describes the human condition, from its matrix founded in religion, Greek tragedy and the tragic philosophy of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. In Greek religiosity, the ontological rupture is placed between men and gods: these are immortal and those mortal ones, hence the strength and fragility of their condition. This religious experiment produced an anthropological perception that the Greek poets presented in the Athenian tragedy. In the view of the tragic poet, the meaning of human life was granted by the relationship with the gods and by the mortal condition, originating the tragic situation of the hero. In the modern philosophy of our era, the tragic has become a philosophical category. The elements that shaped the tragic man in the Greek narrative have unfolded on the reflection of the human condition and transformed into the themes that characterize the existential tragedy: the value and purpose of life in face of the ailment of the mortal condition, the human fallibility, human fragility and the contradictions which disintegrate the notion of unity of the world and man. Our hypothesis is that Freud, such as the Greek poets and modern philosophers, conceived a tragic vision of the human condition. Equipped with the Greek and philosophical conceptual repertoires, the intention of this research is to perform an analysis of the Freudian work in order to enlighten the tragedy in the human soul and the relationship between man and culture, configuring Freud s tragic human being / Esta pesquisa trata da concepção antropológica trágica contida na teoria freudiana. Ela parte da investigação do trágico como um conceito que descreve a condição humana, desde sua matriz fundada na religião e na tragédia grega e na visão trágica de homem na filosofia de Schopenhauer e Nietzsche. Na religiosidade grega está colocada a ruptura ontológica entre homens e deuses: estes são imortais e aqueles mortais, daí a força e a fragilidade de sua condição. Essa experiência religiosa produziu uma percepção antropológica que os poetas revelaram na tragédia grega. No entender do poeta trágico, o sentido da vida humana era conferido pela relação com os deuses e pela condição mortal, originando a situação trágica do herói. Na filosofia moderna de nossa era o trágico se tornou categoria filosófica. Os elementos que configuraram o homem trágico na narrativa grega se desdobraram na reflexão sobre a condição humana e se transformaram nos temas que caracterizam o trágico existencial: o valor e a finalidade da vida frente ao padecimento da condição mortal, a falibilidade humana, a fragilidade humana e as contradições que desintegram a noção de unidade do mundo e do homem. Nossa hipótese é que Freud, tal como os poetas gregos e os filósofos modernos, concebeu uma visão trágica da condição humana. A intenção dessa pesquisa é fazer, aparelhada pelos repertórios conceituais gregos e filosóficos, a análise da obra freudiana de modo a iluminar o trágico na alma humana e na relação entre homem e cultura, configurando o homem trágico de Freud
