There are five chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the publishing of catalogs, the methods used to identify fake copies, and previous scholarly studies. I will also define the research scope, objective and methodology of the study. Chapters 2 to 4 explain the relationships between official sutra copies and Buddhist ones, religion and scripture calligraphy, and the copyists and their calligraphy. Through analysing the colophons at the end of the manuscripts and the style of the calligraphy, I intend to show the impact of politics, religion and the status of the copyists on the calligraphy. Chapter 5 focuses on the artistic style of the calligraphy of Dunhuang scriptures, explores the concepts of Xiejing Style and Beiliang Style , and highlights the stylistic differences and similarities in different geographical areas. / This study demonstrates that Dunhuang scriptures are an important part in the history of Chinese calligraphy. The quality of the calligraphy varies: some may be masterpieces while others common everyday writings. / This thesis investigates the calligraphy of Buddhist and Daoist scriptures found in Dunhuang and Xinjiang, spanning from the Jin dynasty to the Song dynasty. The calligraphy of the copied scriptures is analyzed in its specific social and historical context. Based on historical records, contemporary references and the actual objects themselves, this study uses a textual, comparative research method to give an overview of the calligraphy and to describe its course of development in an approach that is as faithful to history as possible. / 毛秋瑾. / 呈交日期: 2005年12月. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2006. / 參考文獻(p. 143-149). / Cheng jiao ri qi: 2005 nian 12 yue. / Advisers: Jao Tsung-i; Harold Mok Kar-leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-11, Section: A, page: 4016. / Electronic reproduction.

No romance The Awakening (1899), de Kate Chopin, a busca da individualidade e da liberdade financeira e sexual da protagonista Edna Pontellier fundem-se à tentativa de realização do amor extraconjugal, que, frustradas, a levam ao suicídio. Essa busca frustrada carrega em si contradições históricas inerentes à ideologia burguesa, que promete igualdade a todos, mas não permite a realização concreta de tal promessa. Essas contradições se fazem presentes não apenas no tema do romance, mas em sua estrutura formal: o recorte sócio-histórico do romance implica uma série de fissuras em sua estrutura, também reveladoras de contradições ideológicas. Para a análise dessa obra, faz-se necessário o estudo das relações sociais traçadas no romance e suas implicações estéticas, como a questão do narrador onisciente e do desenvolvimento da narrativa, os limites desta, bem como os limites da ideologia da modernização. / In The Awakening (1899) the protagonist\'s search for individuality, economic and sexual freedom merge with the attempt of finding fulfillment outside her marriage. When these possibilities are frustrated, she is drawn to suicide. This unsuccessful quest carries within itself the historical contradictions which are inherent to the bourgeois ideology, which promises equality for all but eventually fails to keep its promise. These contradictions are present not only in the content of the novel, but in its formal structure as well: the historical and social frame of the novel entangles several breaks in its structure, which also reveal ideological contradictions. In order to analyze this novel, it is mandatory to study the social relationships established in it and its aesthetic implications, as well as the question of the omniscient narrator and of how the narrative unfolds; the limits of the latter as well as the limits of the ideology of modernization.

It is analyzed from the perspective of discursive that seeks to diagnose how a historiography discourse that was represented within the fictional framework matters. For that, characterized the novel as a narrative of historical extraction, therefore a work that works with a historical fact and carries intertexts a whole interdiscursive context, medley a historical referentiality, allows their analysis is guarded in specificities of the historical speech and fictional discourse. The identification of this specificity imposed a debate around the relation between fiction and history. This relation was worked by the understanding of that production thus historiographic discourse as fictional discourse occurs marked by subjectivity. This doesn’t mean disconsider the existence of distinctions between these discourses. Unlike, this work deals with the peculiarities of both. Based on these considerations outlined of the following goals: 1) seek the discursive resources presented by Bernardo Élis in his writer condition to elaborator a fiction that dialogue with the historical fact and with all the extratextual context; 2) show the Bernardiano speech of the subversion image of Goiás in declining. To achieve these goals, I tried to problematize and bring to analytical framework concepts like mimesis, verisimilitude, intertexture, interdiscourse, dialogism and heterogeneity. Theories that discuss literary aspects and linguistic aspects were also seen as crucial to the analysis of the work in question. / A presente dissertação tem por objeto a obra Chegou o Governador, de Bernardo Élis. Esta é analisada sob a perspectiva discursiva que procura diagnosticar de que maneira um discurso historiográfico fora representado dentro do quadro ficcional. Para tal, caracterizou-se o romance como sendo uma narrativa de extração histórica, pois, uma obra que trabalha com um fato histórico e carrega consigo intertextos vivos e todo um contexto interdiscursivo, emaranhado a uma referencialidade histórica, permite que sua análise seja resguardada nas especificidades do discurso histórico e do discurso ficcional. A identificação dessa especificidade impôs a realização de um debate em torno da relação entre ficção e história. Essa relação foi trabalhada a partir da compreensão de que a produção tanto do discurso historiográfico quanto do discurso ficcional ocorre marcada pela subjetividade. Isso não implica desconsiderar a existência de distinções entre esses discursos. Ao contrário, este trabalho trata das particularidades de ambos. Com base nessas considerações, traçaram-se os seguintes objetivos: 1) buscar os recursos discursivos apresentados por Bernardo Élis na sua condição de escritor para elaborar uma ficção que dialogue com o fato histórico e com todo o contexto extratextual; 2) apresentar o discurso bernardiano de subversão da imagem de um Goiás decadente. Para alcançar esses objetivos, buscou-se problematizar e trazer para dentro do quadro analítico conceitos como: mimésis, verossimilhança, intertexto, interdiscurso, dialogismo e heterogeneidade. As teorias que discutem aspectos literários e aspectos linguísticos foram também tidas como cruciais para a análise da obra em questão.

Thesis (M.A. (English Studies)) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / The purpose of this study was to examine South Africa’s Post-Apartheid contemporary drama. Three dramas were used in order to examine three primary themes namely morality, corruption and class - the selected plays were John Kani’s Nothing but the Truth, Zakes Mda’s Our Lady of Benoni and Mike van Graan’s Some Mother’s Sons. The ideology carried out in this study was that there is a possible reinvention of Apartheid issues in Post-Apartheid South African drama, exchanging themes of protest and race for morality and corruption, while reflecting real events in the works of playwrights. Also, the study aimed at finding out whether there are connections between class issues and morality as presented in the selected plays. The study found that there is indeed a reinvention of Apartheid issues in Post-Apartheid South Africa, and that there are connections between class issues and morality, including corruption. Lastly, the study concluded that the current South Africa requires a serious intervention regarding moral regeneration as reflected in the selected plays.

This is a study of Chava Shapiro, a woman writer, born in 1876 in the Ukraine, who died in 1943 in Nazi Czechoslovakia. It describes her conventional Hasidic upbringing, her successful rebellion against it and her subsequent studies in Switzerland which led to a career in Hebrew journalism. It follows her return to Russia in 1914, her escape to Czechoslovakia after the pogroms of 1919 and 24 years later her tragic end in Terezin. / Dominating the study is the well-known Hebrew writer, Reuven Brainin, 1862-1939, with whom Chava Shapiro fell in love and who exerted an extraordinary influence on her life. / Using original, never before published materials from the Jewish Public Library Archives in Montreal, the study seeks to define the woman as a feminist and a Hebrew writer.

The vast corpus of testimonial literature that has been produced in Latin America since the 1960s, reaches a peak in the 1970s and continues to the present day. The dissertation investigates this phenomenon in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, through the examination of a group of literary works that range from personal testimonies to documentary novels. This genre is defined by a pact of truth established with the reader in relation to the experience that is being narrated. The first chapter describes testimony as a collective discourse that responds to a counter-hegemonic cultural project which opposes the doctrine of “National Security” that prevailed in the region during that period. Chapter II presents the guidelines that will frame the dissertation, preparing a synthesis of several existing models based upon diverse criteria: social, semantic, syntactic and functional. In establishing the relationship between narration, history and testimony, the thesis emphasizes that narrative techniques are needed in order to tell any story, even those which were not developed with a literary purpose. Testimony is not an exception, because it transforms experience into stories, applying to remembrances the structure of a plot. The texts are organized accordingly, taking into account the types of narrativization employed, and this taxonomy is connected with the reception theory and the contributions of the social criticism, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the genre. Chapters III, IV and V examine various works from the three countries mentioned above, establishing a connection between the historic-social situation, the collective symbols, the artistic production of that period, and testimonies. The conclusion suggests that the return of Latin American literature to its hybrid origins implies transformations such as the democratization of writing and the disappearance of the author as the centre of the literary production. It also claims that this corpus provokes a change in the direction of contemporary writing in those countries, generating a necessary catharsis and a new elaboration of a fragmented collective identity.
