O templo cristão na modernidade : permanências simbólicas & conquistas figurativasMüller, Fábio January 2006 (has links)
O estudo enfoca a arquitetura religiosa moderna, no intuito de apreender as permanências simbólicas e as conquistas figurativas alcançadas pelos arquitetos modernistas para dar forma e representação ao templo, em tempo dito ‘dessacralizado’ porque materialista e espiritualmente plural. Fundamentalmente, compila e sistematiza, por similaridades ideológicas, funcionais, simbólicas, tipológicas e formais, o legado eclesiástico projetado e/ou construído no mundo ocidental cristão entre os anos 1850 e 1960, grosso modo. Em sincronia, apresenta suas condições de origem, razões e significados e analisa como os pressupostos modernistas aplicaram-se ao fato arquitetural das novas catedrais, igrejas paroquiais, capelas locais e obras eclesiásticas várias, católicas e protestantes. Revela, também, seus produtores – financiadores, incentivadores, projetistas e construtores – analisando a atenção dada ao tema pelos mais eminentes nomes do período e realçando agentes inestimáveis, desprezados pela ‘bibliografia oficial’ do Movimento Moderno. Nas entrelinhas ensaia, ainda, discussão crítico-interpretativa de obras paradigmáticas ao debate por conjunção especial de fatores, no sentido de identificar as estratégias e signos modernos válidos à prática arquitetural contemporânea.

'The Marshall System' in World War II, Myth and Reality: Six American Commanders Who FailedCarlson, Cody King 08 1900 (has links)
This is an analysis of the U.S. Army's personnel decisions in the Second World War. Specifically, it considers the U.S. Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall's appointment of generals to combat command, and his reasons for relieving some generals while leaving others in place after underperformance. Many historians and contemporaries of Marshall, including General Omar N. Bradley, have commented on Marshall's ability to select brilliant, capable general officers for combat command in the war. However, in addition to solid performers like J. Lawton Collins, Lucian Truscott, and George S. Patton, Marshall, together with Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lesley J. McNair, often selected sub-par commanders who significantly underperformed on the battlefield. These generals' tactical and operational decisions frequently led to unnecessary casualties, and ultimately prolonged the war. The work considers six case studies: Lloyd Fredendall at Kasserine Pass, Mark Clark during the Italian campaign, John Lucas at Anzio, Omar Bradley at the Falaise Gap, Courtney Hodges at the Hürtgen Forest, and Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr. at Okinawa. Personal connections and patronage played strong roles in these generals' command appointments, and often trumped practical considerations like command experience. While their superiors ultimately relieved corps commanders Fredendall and Lucas, field army and army group commanders Clark, Hodges, and Bradley retained command of their units, (Buckner died from combat wounds on Okinawa). Personal connections also strongly influenced the decision to retain the field army and army group commanders in their commands.

Les relations de voyage de Jean Frédérick Waldeck et de John Lloyd Stephens : leur débat sur l'origine des bâtisseurs des anciennes cités Mayas et leurs représentations de la société Yucatèque du XIXe siècleDéry, Stéphane 24 April 2018 (has links)
L'objectif de ce mémoire est d'analyser les représentations de deux voyageurs occidentaux du 19e siècle concernant l'origine des bâtisseurs des anciennes cités mayas et la société yucatèque de cette période. Notre analyse utilisera comme sources documentaires les récits de voyage de deux explorateurs occidentaux: le Français Jean Frédérick Waldeck et l'Américain John Lloyd Stephens. Nous entendons démontrer que leurs récits ont alimenté et développé la connaissance historique sur au moins deux sujets que nous avons cru utile d'étudier prioritairement: d'une part, les origines de la civilisation qui a construit les cités précolombiennes du Yucatan et, d'autre part, l'étude de la société yucatèque du 19e siècle. Nous entendons privilégier une approche fondée sur l'analyse quantitative et qualitative des discours des auteurs dans une perspective comparative. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013

The dangerous edge of things : John Webster's Bosola in context & performanceBuckingham, John F. January 2011 (has links)
This thesis argues that there is an enigma at the heart of Webster's The Duchess of Malfi; a disjunction between the critical history of the play and its reception in performance. Historical disquiet about the status of the play among academics and cultural commentators has not prevented its popularity with audiences. It has, however, affected some of the staging decisions made by theatre companies mounting productions. Allied to other practical factors, these have impacted significantly – and occasionally disastrously – upon performances. It is argued that Webster conceived the play as a meditation on degree and, in aiming to draw out the maximum relevance from the social satire, deliberately created the multi-faceted performative role of Bosola to work his audience in a complex and subversive manner. The role's purpose was determined in response to the structural discontinuity imposed upon the play by the physical realities of staging within the Blackfriars' auditorium. But Webster also needed an agent to serve the plot's development and, in creating the role he also invented a character, developed way beyond the material of his sources. This character proved as trapped as any other in the play by the consequences of his own moral choices. Hovering between role and character, Webster's creation remains liminally poised on ‘the dangerous edge of things.' Part One explores the contexts in which Webster created one of the most ambiguous figures in early modern drama - subverting stock malcontent, villain and revenger - and speculates on the importance of the actor, John Lowin in its genesis. It includes a subsequent performance history of the role. Part Two presents the detailed analysis of a range of professional performances from the past four decades, attempting to demonstrate how the meaning of the play has been altered by decisions made regarding the part of Bosola.

Kant och papegojan : Om exemplen i Kritik av omdömeskraftenEnström, Anna January 2011 (has links)
This essay is an examination of the examples in Kant’s Critique of Judgement. The examples which I have focused on all converge in an idea of wildness. These examples of the beautiful are illuminated by a culture-historical perspective, where the literary and scientific travelogue genre is of great importance. Apart from being exegetic and culture historical, my method is also analytic. The general ambition is to answer the question; what is the parrot doing in the third Critique and what makes it a better example of a free beauty than a jackdaw? Taking as point of departure Jacques Derrida’s notion of parergonality, the example is primarily understood as formative for the thesis, not only as illustrative. By analysing Kant’s use of the wild, exotic and colourful objects as examples the essay intends to show how imagination and understanding operates in the beautiful. The parrot thus corresponds with the role of imagination in its relation to understanding in aesthetic judgement. The examples manifest the strength of the imagination and how it dominates understanding through its wildness. The aim is to present a way to approach the restful contemplation that Kant ascribes to the mind in the experience of the beautiful as bearer of a movement with considerable importance. Rodolphe Gasché’s emphasis on the wild examples as a precognitive minimum for understanding and Hannah Arendt’s view on imagination as an ability of intuition without the presence of the object, have also been essential for my argument.

Greta Magnusson Grossman : Från funkis till California ModernMagnusson Harling, Emma January 2024 (has links)
This thesis explores the architecture, interior design and furniture design of Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906-1999), a pioneering Swedish Modernist who emigrated to the United States in 1940 and became part of the design movement California Modern in Los Angeles. Despite a productive and acclaimed career, her work was more or less forgotten until rediscovered in the early 2000’s.In this thesis, Greta Magnusson Grossman’s broader context is understood through literature studies of the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition, the introduction of Swedish Modern at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, the postwar design movement California Modern, and the International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1948. Similar needs for well designed, low cost housing and furniture in the two countries are found.To further examine the work of Magnusson Grossman, her 1949 residence at Waynecrest Drive in Los Angeles is visually analyzed and compared with contemporary Case Study House #8 by American design couple Charles and Ray Eames from 1949, and Swedish furniture designer and architect Bruno Mathsson’s Exhibition Hall from 1950. Several correlations between the three environments are identified, and confirms Greta Magnusson Grossman’s progressive contributions in the fields of architecture, interiors and furniture design.

The replacement of the doctrine of pith and marrow by the catnic test in English Patent Law : a historical evaluationZondo, Raymond Mnyamezeli Mlungisi 02 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is a historical evaluation of the movement of the English courts from the doctrine of pith and marrow to the Catnic test in the determination of non-textual infringement of patents. It considers how and why the doctrine was replaced with the Catnic test. It concludes that this movement occurred as a result of the adoption by a group of judges of literalism in the construction of patents while another group dissented and maintained the correct application of the doctrine. Although the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords initially approved the literalist approach, they, after realising its untennability, adopted the dissenters’ approach, but, ultimately, adopted the Catnic test in which features of the dissenters’ approach were included. The dissertation concludes that the doctrine of pith and marrow, correctly applied, should have been retained as the Catnic test creates uncertainty and confusion. / Mercantile Law / LL.M.
