Εν κατακλείδι, η πρόσληψη του μυθολογικού υλικού από τους νεότερους δραματουργούς, όπως επισημαίνει και ο Δημήτρης Τσατσούλης, «το εμπλουτίζει με νέες συνιστώσες, αφήνοντας, πάνω σε ένα παλιό σώμα, νέα ίχνη γραφής, αναζητήσεων, προβληματισμών μιας νέας εποχής, αναδιατυπώνοντας έτσι και τους όρους πρόσληψής του». Έτσι, ο Φιλοκτήτης του André Gide παρουσιάζει το δράμα του καλλιτέχνη και του ανθρώπου που παλεύει να διατηρήσει τον αυθεντικό εαυτό του, θέλοντας να μάς βοηθήσει να συνειδητοποιήσουμε ότι η ολοκλήρωσή μας έγκειται σε μας τους ίδιους, αρκεί να βρούμε τη δύναμη να υπερβούμε τον εαυτό μας. Το έργο του Βασίλη Ζιώγα είναι ένα άμεσο μάθημα ζωής από τον Φιλοκτήτη προς τον Νεοπτόλεμο και έμμεσα από τον συγγραφέα προς εμάς, τους αναγνώστες/θεατές. Στο τέλος, θα πρέπει η όρασή μας να έχει διευρυνθεί, όπως του Νεοπτόλεμου. Θα πρέπει να ακούμε και να βλέπουμε τους Στυλίτες, την ενότητά μας δηλαδή με το σύμπαν. Ο Μύθος δείχνει το δρόμο, αρκεί να ακολουθήσουμε τις συντεταγμένες του. Τέλος, το κείμενο του Heiner Müller μάς αποκαλύπτει, με τον πιο γλαφυρό τρόπο, ότι οι κρατούντες δε θα διστάζουν να εκμεταλλεύονται ακόμα και τα πτώματα των ηρώων, αν αυτό εξυπηρετεί τα συμφέροντά τους. Η διακειμενική, λοιπόν ανάλυση αναδεικνύει ότι η επίθεση στο μυθικό υλικό οδηγεί στην επανανακάλυψη του ίδιου του Μύθου. Καθίσταται έτσι ο αρχαίος Μύθος νέο Ήθος. / -

In this work intends to grow a reflection it remains in that measured the use of the myth as metaphor to think on her the feminine, it can limit or powerful the educational work. The thematic accuses X woman in the universal history he/she has as conductive thread the myth of Pandora, in what refers to the blame attributed to the woman and the blames that the women carry as reflex of a Jewish-Christian education in times of modernity or the triple day of work reflex of the life of this century. As theoretical reflectors " of analysis, he/she appears the gender, tends socially in view the attempt of understanding of the relationship built between men and women, as well as of the construction of the woman teacher's feminine subjectivity. Divided in four moments, the work begins with a narrative fictitious maid starting from real facts. Further on, teacher Ethos's character that will dialogue with the protagonist of the history about the human's propositions appears, what is worth the own narrator's internal dialogues and explicit the authors that go being introduced in your ideas along the narrative. The third part is the interviews (real) with teachers that talk about some of your existences. Finally, after the analysis of the interviews, the absolution of Pandora and the presentation of the categories observed in the interviews it works as backdrop for a reflection on the subject's formation and the use of the Greek myth as possibility of to think on him and to bring to the surface searches on the human, in the case of this work, the woman. / Neste trabalho se propõe desenvolver uma reflexão sobre em que medida o uso do mito como metáfora para se pensar sobre o feminino, pode limitar ou potencializar o trabalho docente. A temática culpa X mulher na história universal tem como fio condutor o mito de Pandora, no que se refere à culpa atribuída à mulher e as culpas que as mulheres carregam como reflexo de uma educação judaico-cristã em tempos de modernidade e/ou a tripla jornada de trabalho reflexo da vida deste século. Como "refletores" teóricos de análise, aparece o gênero, tendo em vista a tentativa de entendimento da relação socialmente construída entre homens e mulheres, bem como da construção da subjetividade feminina da mulher professora. Dividido em quatro momentos, o trabalho inicia com uma narrativa fictícia criada a partir de fatos reais. Mais adiante, surge a personagem do professor Ethos que vai dialogar com a protagonista da história sobre as proposições do humano, o que valida os diálogos internos da própria narradora e explicita os autores que vão sendo apresentados nas suas idéias ao longo da narrativa. A terceira parte são as entrevistas (reais) com professoras que falam sobre algumas das suas vivências. Por fim, depois da análise das entrevistas, a absolvição de Pandora e a apresentação das categorias observadas nas entrevistas funciona como pano de fundo para uma reflexão sobre a formação do sujeito e o uso do mito grego como possibilidade de se pensar sobre ele e trazer à tona prospecções sobre o humano, no caso deste trabalho, a mulher.

Au cœur des métamorphoses esthétiques de la littérature africaine d’expression française, il apparaît une forme particulière d’écriture qui rompt avec le récit terne et linéaire des écrivains de la période post-coloniale. Aussi, cette nouvelle manière d’écrire donne naissance à une nouvelle génération d’écrivains francophones qui proposent aux lecteurs une littérature plus crue, plus sensuelle voire plus sexuelle. Celle-ci se donne désormais pour objectif de critiquer les mœurs sociales à travers la description de divers personnages de romans en proie à la complexité de leur monde intime. Cette nouvelle conception romanesque nous inscrit dans une tendance littéraire actuelle visant à lire l’universel dans l’intimité. De fait, la particularité de notre thèse réside dans sa capacité à amener le lecteur à voir le lien qui pourrait exister entre l’écriture du corps et la quête de l’identité dans la littérature contemporaine d’Afrique francophone. Ceci serait en effet possible à travers l'analyse psychocritique de certaines œuvres des auteurs qui la compose, comme celles de l'écrivain franco-togolais Sami TCHAK. Ces investigations conduisent ainsi le lecteur à se demander de quelle manière l'écriture du corps, à travers celle de la sexualité, peut véhiculer un discours capable de permettre au sujet écrivant de se révéler à lui-même. Ce choix esthétique de la transgression, aussi bien sur le fond que sur la forme, semble être en réalité un prétexte à la reconfiguration stylistique de la littérature africaine contemporaine par cette nouvelle génération d'écrivains. / In the heart of the aesthetic transformations of African literature of French expression, a special form of writing that breaks with the dull and linear narrative of the writers of the post-colonial period appears. Also, this new way of writing gives way to a new generation of francophone writers who offers readers a more raw, more sensual, more sexual literature. It is now intended to criticize social mores through the description of various characters from novels which are prey to the complexity of their intimate world. This new form of writing has enrolled us in a current literary trend that allows to introduce the universal character in the intimacy. In fact, the peculiarity of our thesis lies in its ability to lead the reader to perceive the link that may exist between the writing of the body and the quest for identity in contemporary literature of francophone Africa. This would be possible through the analysis of psychological critics of some literary works such as those of the Franco-Togolese writer Sami TCHAK. This research leads the reader to wonder how the writing of the body, through that of sexuality, can convey a literary discourse capable of allowing the writer to have a better understanding of himself. This aesthetic choice of transgression seems to actually be a pretext for the stylistic reconfiguration of contemporary African literature thanks to this new generation of writers.

This thesis is divided into two sections theoretical and practical. The theoretical section briefly touches on various aspects of myths, including from social, literary and artistic points of view. The reflection of society through myths, stories of transformation, primitive art and its resonance in contemporary art lay the foundation for the practical section of the thesis, which is devoted to the realization of a wire-based three dimensional object that interacts with a particular environment.

Text in Afrikaans / Verkragting, 'n toenemende misdaad, word deur verskeie mites omring. Die doel van die navorsing was om verkragtingsmites te beskryf en oak om vas te stel of daar 'n verskil tussen mans en vroue bestaan betreffende die aanvaarding van die verkragtingsmites. 'n Verkennende studie van bestaande literatuur het aan die lig gebring dat die gemeenskap, polisie, hofamptenare, mediese personeel en die media bepaalde wanvoorstellings aangaande verkragting het. Om die bestaan van verkragtingsmites te bewys, is 'n kwantitatiewe studie uitgevoer wat 136 mans en 165 vroue se persepsies oar verkragtingsmites getoets het. Statisties-beduidende verskille tussen die geslagte is aangeteken. Die resultate van die navorsing dui daarop dat mans en vroue die mite aanvaar dat verkragting 'n seksuele eerder as 'n geweldsmisdaad is. Verder blyk dit duidelik dat vroue meer geneig is om verkragtingsmites te aanvaar wat hul slagoffervatbaarheid kan verhoog. / Rape, an increasing crime is surrounded by various myths. The aim of this research was to describe these myths and also to establish whether or not men and women differ with regard to the acceptance thereof. An exploratory study revealed that society, the police, court officials, medical staff and the media have certain misconceptions with regard to rape. To prove the existence of these myths a quantitative study with 136 males and 165 females was undertaken during which their perceptions pertaining to rape myths were tested. Statistically significant differences were noted. Research results indicated that men and women accept the myth that rape is a sexual rather than a violent crime. It furthermore became evident that women are more inclined to accept rape myths which in tum increase their victim vulnerability. / Sociology / M.A. (Criminology)

Este trabalho parte de uma interrogação acerca do significante “sacrifício” num contexto clínico e avança, através de diferentes autores do campo da psicanálise e da antropologia, em direção ao estabelecimento de aproximações e distanciamentos entre o sacrifício ritual e o sacrifício que se revela sob a forma da “renúncia”. Sustentando que as “ações sacrificiais dessacralizadas” são análogas àquelas que se realizam por meio dos rituais, o autor propõe que tanto nos rituais sacrificiais quanto na forma dessacralizada da renúncia o sacrifício pode ser interpretado a partir da posição do sujeito em relação à falta interente à estrutura simbólica. / This research starts from a interrogation about the term “sacrifice” in a clinical context and progresses through different authors from the field of psychoanalysis and anthropology towards the establishment of similarities and differences between the sacrifice ritual and sacrifice that reveals itself as the "renunciation" form. Arguing that the "sacrificial actions desacralized" are analogous to those that take place through the rituals, the author proposes that the sacrificial rituals as well as the renunciation form can be interpreted from the position of the subject in relation to the lack interente to the symbolic structure.

The coexistence of Czech and Roma communities is beset with numerous issues. Despite the Roma population being a part of the country?s population for centuries, the Roma still find themselves foreigners within the society, perceive the Czech population as hostile and reject even its positive values. The Roma minority blames the Czech society for coldness, hostility and above all discrimination, xenophobia and racism. The Czech population on the other hand upbraids the Roma for noisiness, lack of education, poor work ethics, high unemployment and crime rates, among other things. The theoretical part of the paper is divided according to separate issues relevant for the Roma population in the Czech Republic. The history of the Roma population is presented, since it is considered a notable part of history as well as a significant factor in the current situation. The theoretical part also presents the issues of myth and stereotype, forming a part of any society and affecting its actions from its historical beginnings to the present time. This part of the paper also introduces other key topics relevant for the Roma minority, such as coexistence with the majority society, levels of education, unemployment, crime rates, and socially excluded neighbourhoods. For the practical part of the work, plausible hypotheses were developed for the two objectives described above, to be verified or disproved by practical experiment. H 1: More than half of the representatives of the investigated majority holds the opinion that Roma employment is less than one-third. H 2: The representatives of the investigated majority in more than half amount have personally or vicariously encountered crime perpetrated by Roma. H 3: Representatives of the majority society believes that the most common source of finance for Roma in the investigated localities are social benefits. H 4: Most of the representatives of the investigated majority hold the opinion that Roma are poorly mindful of their children's education. H 5: Most of the majority society in the village of Větřní is of the opinion that better education of Roma has no effect on better employment of Roma. For the practical part of the work, quantitative research employing controlled interview was used to obtain necessary data about the selected locations. The particular sites chosen were: in České Budějovice, the housing estate ?Máj? at the V. Volf Street and its surroundings; in Český Krumlov, the housing estate ?Mír? and the surroundings of the Lipová Street. In the village of Větřní, the research focused on the geographically lower part of the settlement. All three locations are considered socially excluded according to an analysis of socially excluded neighbourhoods. 50 respondents were interviewed in each of České Budějovice and Český Krumlov, and 30 respondents were interviewed in Větřní. The thesis set out to achieve two tasks. The first was to identify the perceptions held by the majority society about the Roma minority in the selected neighbourhoods and about its some of the issues. This objective was achieved, and the practical part of the paper describes in detail the perceptions of the majority society about the minority and its issues. The second task was to describe the differences in these perceptions between the investigated neighbourhoods. This second objective was also achieved. In the practical part of my thesis I have confirmed that the perceptions between the investigated neighbourhoods about the minority is not very different.
