A special focus is the writings of Ngarrindjeri man, David Unaipon. Dreaming narratives contain knowledge, and all knowledge systems are influenced by the circumstances in which they emerge. Challenges those with an interest in representing indigenous knowledge in print to respect the rights of the indigenous owners, and to strive to maintain the integrity of their texts. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Adelaide University, Dept. of European Studies, 2001

Detta examensarbete syftar till att skapa ett gestaltningsförslag till en trädgård baseratpå pc-spelet League of Legends. Arbetet följer konceptet corporate garden då detbaseras på en produkt som är skapad av ett företag. Arbetet ska besvara frågan ”Hur kanett gestaltningsförslag för en corporate garden för spelföretaget Riot Games medinspiration från spelet League of Legends se ut?”, ”Hur uppfattar spelarna landskapet ispelet?” samt ”Vilka växter kan passa i en miljö med halvskugga till skugga, lågt pHvärdesamt relativt hög markfuktighet i zon 1? ”. Metoderna som nyttjades var en kortlitteratursökning åtföljt av en mer omfattande studie av spelets landskapsgrafik samtenkätfrågor till målgruppen spelarna. Motiven till tagna beslut presenteras tillsammansmed växtvalen, varpå illustrationsplanen presenteras. Som komplement till dennaanvänds exempelskisser i mindre skala för att kunna peka på detaljer, såsom placeringav växtval. Resultatet pekar på 25 stycken olika växter som passar i de olikaståndorterna. Växtvalen består av lignoser, perenner, mossor och knölar/lökar.Illustrationsplanen visar en stor parkliknande trädgård i pc-spelet League of Legendsanda.

The diploma thesis looks into literary legends of the Sedlčany and its closest area which is defined by cultural and geographical demarcation of the region. The four-volume Legends of Sedlčany area by regional author Karel Bazal are understood as the essential material of the thesis. The diploma thesis also aims to briefly summarize life and work of this author as well as to place him to literary context of the period. Focus will be paid to interpretation of characters as well as to interpretation of legends which will be based on assorted heuristic material. The diploma thesis will not only use theory of regional literature and genologic demarcation of legends, but it will also include photos of chosen places in Sedlčany area and design of project based learning based on interdisciplinary relations (prepared for secondary school class).

viii, 138 p. / This thesis examines casual storytelling among Mexican and Mexican American women in Oaxaca, Mexico and Eugene, Oregon. I focus on narratives involving powerful female protagonists and explore the ways in which storytelling can represent a negotiation of power in informants' lives. Taking a feminist and performance-centered approach, I analyze informants' perceptions of power and gender dynamics in their own lives and the lives of the iconic characters discussed. Analysis is based upon participant-observation, in-depth interviews, casual conversations, popular culture artifacts, and library and archival research. My research indicates that prose narratives are popular and discussed frequently among the communities I interacted with. Female icons function to shape virtuous feminine behavior and chastise immoral behaviors. Women form and articulate multiple identities and communicate about power and gender dynamics through discussion of these protagonists. / Committee in charge: Dr. Lisa Gilman, Chairperson; Dr. Carol Silverman, Member; Dr. Robert Haskett, Member

Esta tese é dedicada ao estudo de narrativas do gênero lendas urbanas dentro de uma perspectiva discursiva. Com base em um corpus composto de mensagens trocadas em uma comunidade virtual sobre o tema na Internet no período entre 2005 e 2006, busca-se fundamentalmente investigar os modos pelos quais tais narrativas se situam, enquanto enunciados, entre uma ordem de discurso dotada de uma certa sistematicidade e uma instância de acontecimento único, materializada na enunciação. Propõe-se a reflexão de que as lendas urbanas, sendo geradas no seio da vida cotidiana e trazendo elementos que fazem parte desse cotidiano de um modo bastante acessível - embora em muitos casos representando ameaças novas e impensadas -, configuram-se como narrativas que reelaboram velhos enredos (ou intrigas) da experiência social em combinações potencialmente variadas, multiplicando-se, assim, as possibilidades de formulação de acontecimentos enunciativos dentro de uma estrutura mais ou menos estável e reconhecível. A ênfase na dimensão de prática discursiva em que as lendas se materializam - sendo elas retomadas, contestadas, (re)contextualizadas no interior dessa prática - revela o modo como tais narrativas se entretecem em uma rede particularmente heterogênea, freqüentemente polêmica, na qual antigos medos, ansiedades e apreensões sociais são articulados e na qual os sujeitos envolvidos são confrontados com seus pressupostos de verdade e relações de poder/saber. A partir das análises empreendidas, conclui-se que a tensão dialética entre regularidade e singularidade - ou, de forma mais geral, estrutura e acontecimento - se encontra na base mesma das práticas discursivas estudadas, manifestando-se em diferentes níveis de análise e sob uma multiplicidade de formas, que vão desde a definição do gênero lenda urbana, passando pelos movimentos de arquivamento e atualização das narrativas, até as representações identitárias construídas e reencenadas pelos textos. / This thesis is dedicated to the study of the genre of narratives known as urban legends from a discursive perspective. Based on a corpus composed of messages exchanged in a virtual community on the Internet between 2005 and 2006, we aim at investigating the ways in which these narratives are situated, as utterances, between a discursive order which is marked by a certain regularity and the domain of the single event which is materialized through enunciation. We argue that urban legends, being generated in the midst of daily life and carrying elements that are part of this daily life in an acessible form - although in many cases enacting new and unexpected threats -, present themselves as narratives which reelaborate certain ancient plots of social experience into potencially varied combinations, thus enabling the multiplication of possible formulations of enunciative events within a more or less stable and recognizable structure. An emphasis on the discursive practice dimension through which the legends are materialized - their being recovered, contested, (re)contextualized in the space of such practice - reveals how those narratives are woven into a particularly heterogeneous and often polemical network, in which old social fears, anxieties and apprehensions are articulated and in which the subjects involved are confronted with their assumptions on truth and power/knowledge relations. From the analyses conducted, we conclude that the dialectical tension between regularity and uniqueness - or, more generically, between structure and event - can be found at the very basis of the discursive practices under scrutiny, manifesting itself on different levels of analysis and in a multiplicity of forms, which include the definition of the urban legend genre, the movements of archiving and updating of legends, and the identity representations that are built and re-enacted in the texts.

To this end, adopts the fundamental categories of the General Theory of Gilbert Durand Imaginary. This is a qualitative study and with some elements of the phenomenological approach. The subjects were teachers from public and private network and 7th graders of elementary education at a private school. Was based on the observation of the physical structure and projects of schools. With teachers was organizing a meeting and a questionnaire and students were held three meetings where students designed and narrated the legends. The archetype of the Serpent was the most noticed both enters the teachers and the students. / Este estudo busca compreender os regimes de imagens de professores e alunos a partir de narrativas (orais e imagens).
