These eleven chapters comprise Part One of a novel of thirty-seven chapters, entitled As Runs the Deer. It is a dialectic play on the processes of Time, as well as a play with evolving dialects. Nominally set in the 19th c., in an Appalachian-like terrain, it shows the difficulties James Ian Pierson meets when emerging out of his wilderness to re-enter his former life. Opening his own story by means of his sycamore cane, the 19- yr.-old amnesiac must soon reconcile his past with the invading "Now!" He evades the intrusion of a drunken hunter, is overcome by the wintry elements, brought from his icebed by Welsh woodsman Eustace, befriended by Mercury, ancient herbalist, keeper of the Myths. Frivolous Emily Marie Marchault must also reconcile herself with Ian's uneasy re-entry. Shackled by gilded chains of manners, she sees herself as overprotected by her guardian, Breton, and chips away at his ivory tower.

In three chapters, each of them concerned with the subjects previously mentioned, we tried to study Bandeira s lyrical poetry not only under MirceaEliade theories, but also from some thoughts collected from Aristóteles, MassaudMoisés, Alfredo Bossi, Affonso Romano de Sant Anna, Victor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva whose texts would evoke a better understanding of the poetry of the author of Libertinagem . The first chapter is about Manuel Bandeira s poetry as a kind of cosmogony process through which the lyrical self tries to neutralize the consequences of a bad destiny which had transformed his life on a true chaos; in the second chapter we tried to verify to what extent the poems about childhood highly charged by escape feelings tried to reconstruct, through the sortilege of language, a mythological and paradisiacal territory to neutralize the effects of reality that oppressed him so much. It is worth mentioning that the valuable poems about childhood provided us with other important considerations. In the last chapter, the main focus was on the erotic bias of Bandeira s religious poetry and on the way the lyrical self desecrates the sacred at the same time it makes the profane sacred by giving an erotic touch to the saints like in the poem Balada de Santa Maria Egipcíaca , or by sacralizing humble and anonymous human beings who seems to be accomplishing a true via crucis on earth. / O presente trabalho trata a respeito de temas recorrentes na poesia de Manuel Bandeira: a tuberculose, a infância e a religiosidade. Em três capítulos, cada um deles dedicado aos temas acima referidos, procurou-se estudar a lírica bandeiriana não só à luz das teorias de Mircea Eliade, como também a partir de alguns ensinamentos colhidos de Aristóteles, Massaud Moisés, Alfredo Bossi, Affonso Romano de Sant Anna, Victor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva... cujos textos pudessem suscitar uma melhor compreensão da poesia do autor de Libertinagem . O primeiro capítulo trata da poesia de Manuel Bandeira como uma espécie de procedimento cosmogônico através do qual o eu lírico tenta neutralizar as consequências do mau destino , que convertera a sua vida num verdadeiro caos; já no segundo capítulo, procurou-se constatar até que ponto os poemas sobre a infância, perpassados por um sentimento de fuga, de evasão, buscaram reconstituir, por meio do sortilégio da linguagem, um território paradisíaco, mitológico, para neutralizar os efeitos da realidade que tanto o oprimia. Vale observar ainda que, ricos, bastante ricos, os poemas sobre a infância propiciaram à autora desse trabalho outras considerações que não só as expostas acima; no último capítulo, o principal enfoque incidiu no viés erótico da poesia religiosa de Bandeira, e no modo como o eu lírico dessacraliza o sagrado na mesma proporção com que sacraliza o profano ora emprestando um toque de erotismo às santas, como no poema Balada de Santa Maria Egipcíaca , ora alçando à esfera do sagrado os seres humildes, anônimos, que parecem cumprir uma verdadeira via-crucis sobre a terra.

I wanted to see if there were points of overlap between the various accounts of creation found in folklore, philosophy and physics. In order to justify such a project, I initially considered literature from each of these disciplines regarding the necessity of interdisciplinary dialogue generally and specifically the need for both intuition and logic when considering how anything actually exists. Through my research and casual observation, I hypothesized that opposition seemed to be a universal characteristic of nature. I then looked at how each discipline has described fundamentally opposing pairs and created a list of primary features that those accounts had in common. Finally, I demonstrated (in my study The Symmetry of God) the utility of an interdisciplinary approach to myth by showing how science and philosophy can improve our understanding of myth and conversely how folklore (myth in particular) may suggest meaningful and potentially revolutionary relationships not yet considered by science.

In this paper an attempt will be made to offer a partial history of the three major languages of ancient Peru: Puquina, Aimara and Quechua, postulating their initial settlement from which they started spreading, until their encounter in the Central-Southern Andes during the Late Intermediate Period. It is proposed that the Incas passed through two stages of language substitution: the first from Puquina to Aimara and then from Aimara to Quechua. Linguistic, historical and archaeological evidence will be advanced to support the hypothesis. / En la presente contribución intentaremos bosquejar una parte de la historia de las tres lenguas mayores del antiguo Perú: el puquina, el aimara y el quechua, proponiendo los emplazamientos iniciales a partir de los cuales se expandieron hasta confluir en los Andes centro-sureños durante el Periodo Intermedio Tardío. Proponemos que los incas, a lo largo de su dominación, pasaron por dos etapas de mudanza idiomática: primeramente del puquina al aimara y, luego, del aimara al quechua. En apoyo de las hipótesis planteadas echamos mano de las evidencias de carácter lingüístico, histórico y arqueológico disponibles.

The aim of this study is to draw new perspectives to the theoretic approach towards the complex nature of the modern fairy tale genre and its transformation. The study is exemplified by two books by Alan A. Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh (1926-1928), Tove Jansson’s eight books about the Moomintrolls (1945-1970) and Eno Raud’s four books about three funny creatures called “Nakstitrallid” in Estonian (1972-1982). In this thesis, I examine the disputable problem of defining the fairy tale genre in modern literature and refer to the history of the genre and storytelling tradition that have indirectly inspired all three authors in their decision to turn for fairy tale as a genre. Applying the poetical analysis, I argue that these authors contributed to the continuity of fairy tales by creating the link between folkloric heritage, novelistic literary expression and children’s imagination. This study can therefore be considered as topological, however it does not pretend to introduce the complete systematic definition of the genre as the thesis’ format does not allow such in-depth investigation. In the first chapter, ‘Archaic world stimulation in modern fairy tale’, I examine the dominating literary categories that refer to the folk fairy tale intertext: Bakhtin’s concept of ‘chronotope’ – category of time and space, system of fictional allegoric characters and category of fantastic.  In the second chapter, ‘Modern fairy tales from perspective of children’s literature’, I analyze the books of Milne, Jansson and Raud in the scope of narratological and aesthetic categories of children’s literature. The folkloric laughter intertextually reproduced by naïvism of the Moomins, the Naksitralls, and Winnie-the-Pooh’s friends, while folkloric collective hero is presented by universal harmony of a happy family and child-like protagonists. I came to the conclusion that poetics of folklore fairy tale still exists in these books through the intertextual dialogue. Modernism as literary method re-evaluates folkloric aspects such as nonlinear time, the blurred boarders between individual and cosmos, material and spirit, text and reality. Every new artistically unique fairy tale world resembles the new stage of the genre development. The more innovative is the story, the more sophisticated can be its poetics.
