A intenção é buscar nos debates entre os principais expoentes da chamada nova narrativa hispano-americana reflexões sobre a identidade do continente. Essa literatura iniciada nos anos de 1950 e continuada nas décadas seguintes é responsável por fomentar uma ideia de unidade latino-americana, criando um pastiche sobre aquilo que seria a América. Como salienta grande parte dos estudiosos do tema, a narrativa desse período, de maneira consciente, tentou realizar a busca de um centro do espaço americano e começou propensa a dar uma versão típica da nossa realidade: a América como espaço do maravilhoso. Divergindo dessa representação, na década de 1990 tem início o movimento McOndo, criado pelos escritores chilenos Alberto Fuguet e Sergio Gómez, para definir uma geração de novos escritores latino-americanos cuja principal característica era rechaçar o aspecto mágico que passou a ser o ?selo? dos autores do Real Maravilhoso. Analisar os limites e as implicações políticas desses discursos, assim como as formas através das quais os intelectuais da década de 1960 e 1990 representaram a América Latina, é o principal objetivo do trabalho / Abstract: This dissertation explores the limits of the Real Maravilhoso as a concept and an esthetic-political speech of Latin America representation. The purpose of it is looking for reflections about the continent identity through discussions among the main exponents of the new Spanish American narrative. This literature that was introduced in the 1950s and has been proceeded in the following decades is responsible for promoting a concept of Latin-America unity, creating a common sense of what would be America. As emphasized by many literary critics and historians, the narrative of this period, in a conscious way, tried to achieve the search of a center of an American space and began tending to give a typical version of our reality: America as a place of wonder. Diverging from this representation, in the 1990s the movement McOndo has begun, created by chilean writers Alberto Fuguet and Sergio Gómez, to define a generation of new Latin American writers whose main feature was to reject the magical aspect that became the "seal" of the Real Maravilhoso's authors. Analyze the limits and political implications of these speeches, as well as the intellectuals of the 1960s and 1990s represented Latin American, is the main objective of this study / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

This work takes up urban historian Lewis Mumford's concern for the phenomena of planned and imposed ordering of human life and societies. Mumford (and others) suggests the problem consists in the use of external plans, technologies (and media) to manipulate, dominate, and even coerce forms of life. It is seen at its worst in war, and even forced systems like Nazism and Stalinism. But these phenomena also take more attractive and seemingly enriching forms. We will focus (along with Daniel Boorstin and Umberto Eco in their own way) on forms which have massively developed in 20th and 21st century society: market and consumer saturation, shaped by dominating mass electronic media. This situation is developed imaginatively, and inventively, yet problematically, in Jean Baudrillard's theory of Hyperreality –a critique of the Western hyper-consumer and media saturated world. But his methods and pictures are not followed here. We take up a very different approach and diagnosis; This approach has become increasingly multidisciplinary: phenomenological, praxeological, anthropological, and philological. We build it up in a reading of human lifeworlds in philosophers Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein, and anthropologist Tim Ingold. This work does not go in for a picture of language (and cinema) as a system of signification, but as Ludwig Wittgenstein describes it, as tools always already involved in forms of life. We also offer a unique characterization of corporeal imagining and the imaginative creation of lifeworlds, paving the way for what is described as philological resistance: this resistance is seen in the development of a certain praxeological philology and fully realized in the 20th century author J. R. R. Tolkien's mythopoeic concerns. We focus particularly on what we call the double- transfer: the cyclic structure between human artistry and life-world building, each shaped by the other. We endeavor, along with Mumford and others, to counter colonization and find various less manipulated and un-coerced forms of life, and their informal organizing structures. We examine in detail Tolkien's literary and philological project; and the 20th and 21st century's first art form –cinema. Through the philosophical exploration of cinematic craft in Gilles Deleuze, and in the craft of Terrence Malick we see, and are taken up in, the inextricable relationship between how we make, what we make and how we live everyday life.

This research study aims to investigate the exchange students' experiences with living in a foreign environment. Twenty students took part in this study and were made up of two categories namely study abroad students and student interns. The twenty students who took part in this study were mostly from industrialized countries namely Germany, the United States of America, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. Data were collected by means of individual semi-structured interviews as well as observational methods namely participant and simple observations. The results indicate that if sojourners are to gain a better understanding the South African culture, it is important that they interact with the host nationals. Given that most of the students highlighted the issue of crime as their main concern, their knowledge on how to survive in a crime-ridden country like South Africa would be essential.

O objetivo foi estudar a ironia presente no romance Triste fim de Policarpo Quaresma, do autor Lima Barreto. Partiu-se da ideia de que a ironia foi mobilizada por este autor para compor a forma literária da obra e cifrar o processo de modernização da sociedade brasileira de fins do século XIX e começo do XX. O início da pesquisa foi feito pela leitura interna deste romance. Constatou-se que a forma literária irônica expressa uma relação ambígua entre as ideias em prol de uma sociedade mais justa e a realidade concreta, que negava tais ideias. A partir deste dado interno, procurou-se entender os elementos externos à obra: o autor e o processo social por ele captado (consolidação da Primeira república brasileira). Por isto, objetivou-se, em dois momentos diferentes, investigar qual o significado desta ambiguidade tanto para o processo social em questão, como para a vida de Lima Barreto. Referente ao processo social percebe-se que as transformações do Brasil ao longo do século XIX, que desaguam no fim da escravidão e no advento da República, não acompanham efetivamente os ideais de liberdade e igualdade, que traziam a possibilidade de ampliação da cidadania, perpetuando, assim, antigas formas de hierarquia e exclusão social. Sobre o autor, sua biografia está estritamente vinculada ao processo social em questão, porquanto, em sua infância, ele construiu o ideal de desenvolvimento pleno de sua individualidade, porém, quando adulto, os mecanismos sociais excludentes o impossibilitaram de realizar isto por completo. Assim, depreende-se que as relações entre processo social experiência individual e criação artística expressam uma crítica à constituição do capitalismo no Brasil, como também à dinâmica das relações capitalistas enquanto sistema social, posto que estas relações trazem, em seu horizonte, o desenvolvimento pleno das capacidades humanas, contudo, na esfera concreta este horizonte é negado, sobretudo para os grupos social e historicamente excluídos / Abstract: This dissertation brings together literature and society from a sociological perspective. Its aim has been to study the use of irony in the novel The sad end of Policarpo Quaresma, by Brazilian author Lima Barreto. The starting point is that Lima Barreto mobilized irony to compose literary form in order to describe the process of modernization of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Brazilian society. In the early stages of this research it was confirmed that Lima Barreto uses ironic literature to expresses an ambiguous relationship between ideas in favor of a fairer society and the harsh reality of everyday life, which denied these ideas. From this internal fact, an attempt is made to understand elements which are external to the work: the author and the social processes captured by him (the consolidation of the Brazilian First Republic). In order to do so, two moments have been objectified to study the meaning of this ambiguity, both in terms of the social process and in connection with Lima Barreto¿s own life. Regarding the social process it can be perceived that actual transformations taking place throughout Brazil¿s nineteenth century were far from matching the ideas of freedom and equality which aimed to bring about the broadening of citizenship and enfranchisement. Instead, old forms of exclusion and social hierarchy were perpetuated. As for Lima Barreto, his biography is closely linked to the very social process being analyzed, as his infancy saw him incarnate the very idea of developing his individuality, whereas, as an adult, social mechanisms of exclusion prevented him from continuing this development until fulfilment. Therefore, it can be deducted that the relationships between individual social process and artistic creation express a critique of the development of capitalism in Brazil, as well as of the dynamics of capitalist relationships in a broader sense. While occurring within the horizon of the fulfilment of human capacities, human relationships within capitalist social systems deny their own horizon, especially for socially and historically excluded groups / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

In this thesis the author explores the notion that American Chicana/o literature serves as an interactive pedagogical site that nurtures a blend of academic and street discourse, proposing the writing of those who exist on the "downside" of the border of non-standard English and academic discourse-basic writers be acknowledged.
