Esta pesquisa privilegia o estudo da manifestação popular, o fenômeno do Ciclo do Bumba-meu-Boi em todas as suas fases, valendo-se da fenomenologia da imaginação material em Gaston Bachelard e da filosofia da imagem em Gilbert Durand, dentro de um quadro de educação de sensibilidade. Por meio de uma etnografia descritiva, calcada em novos paradigmas antropológicos - de elementos imagéticos e subjetivos - com dados coletados nos Estados do Maranhão (pesquisa de campo) e de São Paulo (Grupo Cupuaçu, Morro do Querosene) em dez anos de observação participante, tendo a mitohermenêutica como percurso. O trabalho de análise procura evidenciar a trama mítica no caminho do imaginário, revelando o fenômeno popular em seu caráter dinâmico e atemporal. Os depoimentos dos colaboradores e agentes das culturas populares destacam os discursos simbólicos e em conjunção com a descrição poético-imagética, conduzem para a percepção da vivência dos rituais e suas práticas, localizando os elementos do rito e suas relações com os mitos no contexto da antropologia do imaginário. A educação de sensibilidade, prática medial, antropológica e simbólica, incide nas relações interpessoais e generacionais, no encaminhamento, atualização e dinamização dos mitos de maneira autônoma e ancestral, atuando sobre elementos já dados de uma tradição centenária. Efetivamente dentro do ciclo desdobram-se dois caminhos educacionais: por linha hereditária e por iniciação, ressaltando a organização que estas práticas simbólicas possuem, em uma espiral contínua que surge no Maranhão e estende-se para a cidade através da atualização autônoma realizada pelo ciclo, com fortes ressonâncias simbólicas e manutenção de características ancestrais em sua re-interpretação pelos brincantes. / This research focuses on the study of the popular manifestation - the Bumbameu- boi Cycle in all of its stages - availing itself of Gaston Bachelards phenomenology of material imagination and Gilber Durands philosophy of image in a panorama of sensibility education. Through a descriptive ethnography shaped with new anthropological paradigms - of imagetic and subjective elements -, with data collected during ten years of participative observation in Maranhão state (field research) and São Paulo state (Cupuaçu Group, Querosene Hill) and having the mythological hermeneutics as a route. The analitic work intensifies myths in the imaginary route and reveals the popular phenomena in a dynamic and timeless nature. The accounts of popular cultures agents highlight the symbolic speeches and, together with the poetic-image description, conduct to the perception of experiencing the rituals and its practices, placing the elements of rite and its relations to the myths in the context of the anthropology of imaginary. The sensibility education, a medial, anthropological and symbolic practice, has influence in the interpersonal and generational relations, when conducting, updating and making myths more dynamic in an autonomous and ancestral way, acting upon previously provided elements of a centennial tradition. When actually inside the cycle, two educational paths are unfolded: through heredity and through initiation, highlighting the organization that those symbolic practices have, in a continuous line that appears in Maranhão and stretches to the city through the autonomous update accomplished by the cycle, strongly resonating and maintaining ancestral characteristics in its reinterpretation by the participants.

In this thesis, the concept of style transfer for visual storytelling is introduced. Style transfer for visual storytelling is the process of identifying a definitive style of a source, such as an artist or culture, and applying the features of that style to a target, such as a character which has a different style. As a proof of concept, the style of the American film director Tim Burton is transferred to a character from Hindu mythology, Yamah. The style transfer is done based on the concept of 'Pattern Language' introduced by Christopher Alexander et al., in his book, 'A Pattern Language'. A set of patterns is developed based on the source and target. The target is then designed based on the patterns. The design is then visualized in a suitable medium.

Este trabalho discute a presença do mito do lobisomem na obra Fogo Morto, de José Lins do Rego. São abordados os aspectos do mito, do imaginário social e da identidade presentes no enredo, bem como a forma como esses interagem. O estudo centra-se no personagem José Amaro, seleiro de uma localidade rural da Várzea do Paraíba, que através do imaginário social tem sua identidade vinculada ao arquétipo do licantropo. O estudo divide-se em quatro momentos distintos: apresentação da obra Fogo Morto e sua contextualização na literatura brasileira; a constituição do mito do lobisomem em Fogo Morto; o desenvolvimento de um imaginário social e seus efeitos na comunidade; o problema da identidade de José Amaro. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-28T16:27:35Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Dangelo Muller.pdf: 802900 bytes, checksum: 7c2a68fd8a1df2933e69572e298575fb (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-28T16:27:35Z (GMT).

Based on the semiotic analysis, this diploma thesis analyses mythological frameworks of chosen magazines. It consists of two parts, a theoretical and a practical one. The theoretical part is focused on semiotics as science, examines a sign and its historical development, describes myth, its history and research, as well as defines a theoretical starting points leading to definition of mythological framework. This definition is built on the theory of decoding and encoding of Stuart Hall, as well as his representation acknowledgements, as well as on the works of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Roland Barthes examining the myth. The practical part consists of definition of research-subject and semiotic analysis of mythological frameworks in front pages of Reflex and Respekt magazines. Findings of this analysis are then compared. This comparison leads to confirmation or disproval of hypotheses the author articulated prior to the analysis.

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11: 1-9) has been interpreted in various ways down through the centuries. However, most commentators have ignored the genre of the text, and have not sought to interpret it within its mythological framework - therefore most interpretations are nothing short of babble. A working text is ascertained, and the complexity of the text investigated. The text is then identified as 'myth': within its mythological framework the tower is seen as a temple linking heaven and earth, ensuring the continuation of the royal dynasty (i e 'making a name'). When used by the Yahwist Levites during the Babylonian Exile, our story was inserted in the great Pre-History as polemic against the Babylonian concept of creation, temple, and dynasty; and served as both a warning and an encouragement to the Exiles. The post-exilic Priestly Writer re-interpreted our story as a warning to the returning exiles that their society, and their temple, should be reconstructed as YHWH determines. Interpreting the story as myth enables it, finally, to speak clearly into our context today, especially that of South Africa. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D. Th. (Old Testament)
