This thesis investigates possible connections between the music of Erik Satie (1866-1925) and the later surrealist movement, turning to Parade (1917) in a case study that seeks to understand surrealism in music through the idea of self-exploration, a well-established interpretive approach in studies of surrealism in the visual arts. This thesis seeks to redefine surrealism in music not as a set of concrete musical characteristics, but as a collection of techniques meant to evoke subconscious turbulence by blurring the boundary between the "outside" and "inside," between conscious and subconscious, leading to a new discovery of higher or deeper truth. Satie's music aligns with the psychoanalytic elements of the discourse on surrealism. Psychoanalysis, pioneered by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and his followers in the 1890s in Vienna, permeated France around the time of the creation of the work. It inspired early surrealist techniques like automatism, illusory formal structures, collage, and stylistic allusion. This thesis demonstrates that such techniques can be discerned throughout Parade, not only in Satie's music, but also in its scenario, staging, costumes, and choreography. As such, Parade was a foundational work for the surrealist movement, with Satie's music contributing with the other media equally to the emotional and psychological impact of the ballet.

The Parade of Homes began in 1948 as a novel form of sales merchandising and publicity. The model house, on display at the Parade of Homes, was a powerful advertising tool employed by postwar merchant-builders to sell modern design to a new market of informed consumers and second-time homeowners. Using House & Home as a primary source, I contextualize the postwar housing industry and the merchandising efforts of builders. Then, through an examination of the 1955 Parade of Homes in Houston, Texas, I analyze the early Parade of Homes events and the language of domestic modernism that they showcased. / text

It approaches the performance of Parade Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender and examines how this event fits in with the resignification operated in recent years, in central public spaces of Campinas. The dynamics that were established between the actors involved in the construction process Parade revealed the content of these interactions studied from two aspects relevant around central public spaces: (1) the symbolic potential - reinforced by the choice of paths traversed in dialogue with the government, by Parade, who in the pursuit of political legitimacy and public event associated with the historic rescue of the most emblematic public spaces in central and social life of the city, and (2) the nature of these spaces - remeanings as places urban living democratic, affirmation of sexual diversity and social inclusion by increasing legitimization Parade and other activities of the Community of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals, which has contributed to the urban regeneration of the central spaces of Campinas as public spaces and democratic. / O trabalho parte do princ?pio de que h? intera??es entre as mudan?as observadas na sociedade e as concep??es e usos dos espa?os p?blicos.

The LGBT Pride Parade is a mass phenomenon, a psychopolitical strategy of constructing an active citizenship of these subjects. Thus the parade functions as an instrument of bringing back the political memory of homosexuals and as a form of becoming visible in an assimilationist and hetero-normative society adverse to differences. The process of composition of this dissertation implied the conducting of field work in these three countries between 2003-2006 that resulted in 44 interviews of militants of the respective LGBT movements and of militant homosexuals in other movements and political parties. We used open interviews as our methodology and a form of free association of words with the intent of understanding the socio-historical process of each national context in other to conduct the intercultural study. The data show how political participation mediates the construction of the political subject and the collective subject. The festive elements and protest elements in more traditional forms mix in the process of the political construction of the movements themselves that act as an questioning element of the structures established aprioristically according to the interests of the dominant groups / A presente tese de doutorado em Psicologia Social é um estudo intercultural, de abordagem psicopolítica, da construção da consciência política coletiva de homossexuais no Brasil, na Espanha e em Portugal, cujo ponto de partida foi a análise da participação na Parada do Orgulho LGBT de cada um destes países. A parada do Orgulho LGBT, é um fenômeno de massa, uma estratégia psicopolítica de construção de uma cidadania ativa destes sujeitos. Assim, ela funciona como um instrumento de resgate da memória política de homossexuais e de visibilizaçao frente a uma sociedade assimilacionista e heteronormativa, avessa à diferença. O processo de construção desta tese implicou a realização de trabalhos de campo nestes três países, durante os anos de 2003-2006, que resultaram em 44 entrevistas de militantes dos movimentos LGBT e de homossexuais militantes em outros movimentos ou partidos políticos. Utilizamos a entrevista aberta como metodologia e um esquema de livre-associação de palavras com vistas à busca da compreensão dos processos sócio-históricos próprios de cada contexto nacional, a fim de, então, realizarmos o estudo intercultural propriamente dito. Os dados aqui tratados nos mostraram como a participação política medeia a construção do sujeito político e do sujeito coletivo. Assim, elementos de festa e de protesto em moldes mais tradicionais se mesclam no processo de construção política dos próprios movimentos, que atuam como um elemento questionador das estruturas estabelecidas, aprioristicamente, segundo os interesses dos grupos dominantes

Dans un contexte de sélection sexuelle, les systèmes de communication permettant l’attraction et la stimulation du partenaire sexuel et la compétition entre individus du même sexe sont indispensables. Ceci est particulièrement vrai chez les espèces à système d’appariement polygyne de type lek, où les mâles rassemblés dans l’espace sont en compétition pour l’accès aux femelles. Chez notre sujet d’étude, l’outarde houbara nord-africaine les males réalisent des parades incluant des démonstrations visuelles et des vocalisations appelées booms, sur des sites espacés les uns des autres par des distances importantes dans un système qualifié de lek explosé. Notre objectif était d’étudier les systèmes de codage-décodage des informations exprimées durant la parade des mâles chez cette espèce. Nous avons démontré l’existence d’un codage de l’identité individuelle porté par des paramètres visuels et des paramètres acoustiques des vocalisations. Des associations significatives entre des paramètres des booms et des caractéristiques physiques et comportementales des mâles susceptibles de refléter leur qualité, ont également été mises en évidence. Ainsi, les mâles qui produisent les booms les plus graves avaient les masses les plus importantes et paradaient le plus intensément. Lorsque des interactions agonistiques étaient simulées expérimentalement en diffusant des leurres acoustiques, les mâles avaient des réponses comportementales différentes en fonction de la fréquence des booms diffusés. Ainsi le niveau fréquentiel des booms des autres mâles est effectivement perçu et décodé par les individus en compétition. Par ailleurs, plusieurs paramètres des booms sont génétiquement déterminés et héritables, et pourraient porter une information sur l’apparentement entre individus.Certains paramètres sont également liés à la consanguinité des individus. Nous avons montré également que les booms sont particulièrement bien adaptés à la communication à grande distance. En effet, les booms sont de très basse fréquence, se propagent à des distances supérieures à 640 m, et les paramètres supportant le codage-décodage de l’information sont résistants à la propagation et produits de manière redondante. Enfin, les signaux acoustiques et des signaux visuels et semblent agir en synergie (multimodalité) ce qui pourraient améliorer l’efficacité de la communication à grande distance. Ainsi notre étude a démontré que des informations complexes sont transmises durant la parade des mâles au travers de signaux acoustiques et visuels au sein d’un réseau de communication à grande distance. / Résumé en anglais ;In a context of sexual selection, the communication between individuals is essential to optimize both intra-sexual (competition between male) and inter-sexual (mate choice) processes. This is particularly true in species with lek mating systems, where both processes reach their full expression. The North African Houbara bustard, Chlamydotis undulata undulata, is a lekking bird where courting males aggregate in a so called ‘exploded-lek’, i.e. where aggregation is detectable only when mapped over a large area. During the breeding season, males perform a conspicuous and spectacular courtship including visual and acoustic (booms) signals. Our aim was to decipher the coding-decoding systems of the courtship in this species. We found that males can be individually discriminated on the basis of visual and acoustic parameters. The booms produced during the courtship are also related to males’ characteristics susceptible to reflect their quality. Individuals who produced the lowest frequency booms were those with the greatest weights and performed the highest intensity courtships. Playback experiment shows that the frequency content of the booms was perceived and decoded by males during agonistic interaction, leading to significantly different behavioural responses according to the frequency of the signals played back. Furthermore, several acoustic parameters of the booms are significantly heritable through genetic transmission and these parameters are also related to the level of inbreeding. Finally, we showed that the booms and the acoustic parameters supporting information are particularly well adapted to the transmission of information at long range as required in a long distance communication network constituted by an exploded lek. First, booms are of very low-frequency and propagate up to 640 m. Second, coding-decoding of information relies on sequentially redundant and propagation-resistant features. Third, acoustic signals are combined with visual signalling (multimodality) which may improve the long distance transmission of the information. This study brought evidence that complex information is conveyed by visual and acoustic signals during the courtship of males within a long distance network.

La présente étude porte sur les effets de la familiarité dans l’identification d’individus en situation de parade vocale. La parade vocale est une technique inspirée d’une procédure paralégale d’identification visuelle d’individus. Elle consiste en la présentation de plusieurs voix avec des aspects acoustiques similaires définis selon des critères reconnus dans la littérature. L’objectif principal de la présente étude était de déterminer si la familiarité d’une voix dans une parade vocale peut donner un haut taux d’identification correcte (> 99 %) de locuteurs. Cette étude est la première à quantifier le critère de familiarité entre l’identificateur et une personne associée à « une voix-cible » selon quatre paramètres liés aux contacts (communications) entre les individus, soit la récence du contact (à quand remonte la dernière rencontre avec l’individu), la durée et la fréquence moyenne du contact et la période pendant laquelle avaient lieu les contacts. Trois différentes parades vocales ont été élaborées, chacune contenant 10 voix d’hommes incluant une voix-cible pouvant être très familière; ce degré de familiarité a été établi selon un questionnaire. Les participants (identificateurs, n = 44) ont été sélectionnés selon leur niveau de familiarité avec la voix-cible. Toutes les voix étaient celles de locuteurs natifs du franco-québécois et toutes avaient des fréquences fondamentales moyennes similaires à la voix-cible (à un semi-ton près). Aussi, chaque parade vocale contenait des énoncés variant en longueur selon un nombre donné de syllabes (1, 4, 10, 18 syll.). Les résultats démontrent qu’en contrôlant le degré de familiarité et avec un énoncé de 4 syllabes ou plus, on obtient un taux d’identification avec une probabilité exacte d’erreur de p < 1 x 10-12. Ces taux d’identification dépassent ceux obtenus actuellement avec des systèmes automatisés. / The present study deals with the effects of familiarity on speaker identification in the context of voice line-ups. The voice line-up is a paralegal technique, inspired by a visual identification procedure. The voice line-up consists in presenting a number of voices sharing similar acoustic parameters as specified in established procedures. The main objective was to determine if the familiarity of a voice could lead to a high rate of correct identification (> 99 %). Our study is the first to quantify the familiarity criterion linking an identifier and a « target voice ». The quantification was based on four parameters bearing on the degree of contact between individuals: recency, frenquency, duration, and the period during which the contact occurred. Three different voice line-ups were elaborated, each containing 10 voices, including one target voice which was well known by the identifier according to a questionnaire that served to quantify familiarity. Participants (identifiers, n = 44) were selected on the basis of their familiarity with the target voice. The speakers used in the voice line-ups were native speakers of Quebec French and all presented voices had similar fundamental frequencies (to within one semitone). In each line-up we used utterances of 4 different lengths (1, 4, 10, and 18 syll.). The results show that by controlling the familiarity criterion, a correct identification rate of a 100 % is obtained with an exact error probability of p < 1 x 10-12.These rates are superior to current automatic systems of voice identification.

所謂「罷工」，是指「多數勞工有計畫性的不履行其勞務」而言。至於「糾察線」，一般而言是指工會在進行罷工時，為了鼓勵其他受僱人支持該工會之行動，而由工會成員或參與「罷工」者，手持標語而在雇主之工作場所入口處所進行的說服行為。然而，一個可以想像、同時也是過去時常發生的問題─雇主可不可以直接請求國家主動介入，甚至進一步排除勞方所發動的各項爭議手段？若自警察權限行使的角度出發，目前學理上所存在的幾個重要的警察任務，除了傳統的「危害防止」之外，新興的「危害預防」以及備受爭議的「私權保護」，似乎都可以是警察介入勞資爭議事件的理由。除了前述思考外，若就勞資爭議事件的外觀觀之，由於爭議行為是屬於勞工集體性權利行使後的結果，因此在此一集體性外觀之下，以規範特定多數人集體意志行動的「集會遊行法」似乎就存有介入的空間。然而，若我們認為勞工的集體性權利在憲法上有其獨特的地位，而應受到特別的保障，但卻又允許充滿諸多不合理規範的「集會遊行法」恣意介入，這是否已經形成了「憲法上允許、但實定法上不允許」的矛盾結果？因此，在特定法領域內進行思考時，應同時考慮罷工背後所代表的獨特社會意義，並試著融入此一理念，不宜以該領域內的原理原理原普遍性的適用於罷工事件，而導致罷工遭到實質上架空的結果。在此一思考下，在具體的勞資爭議事件中，除了考量警察的核心任務要件外，勞動法領域內重要的原理原則，例如「團體協約自治」、「國家中立原則」、「爭議對等原則」等，也是重要的判斷因素。 首先，若我們面對的是「罷工」時，若就「危害防止」任務的角度，雖然勞工在調解不成立、且經過罷工投票程序正式取得罷工權後，將會形成外觀上可具體辨認的「危害」，但「罷工」本質上為單純的民事上債務不履行，不會對警察所欲保護的「公共安全」法益形成侵害，因此警察不得以「危害防止」為由介入；其次，若是「私權保護」任務，「罷工」雖屬純粹的私權爭執，因而落入警察之「私權保護」任務之範疇，但「罷工」所形成的危害不具有不可回復性，且因勞工主管機關在勞資爭議事件中的頻繁介入，實際上也不能滿足「輔助性」的要求，因此縱經雇主請求，警察亦不能以「私權保護」為由介入；其三，依據警察的「危害預防」任務，若罷工中的勞工若具有集會遊行的外觀時，警察可以依據警察職權行使法第9條針對在場的勞工進行資料蒐集，但其權限行使範圍不包括「不具集會遊行外觀的罷工活動」，例如工會幹部於罷工前私下進行的聯繫與討論等；其四，若有存在集會遊行外觀的罷工行動時，以罷工為目的的集會遊行雖不能與「罷工」本身畫上等號，但此類集會遊行的核心精神仍是在於強化罷工本身的效果，因此基於憲法上對於集體性同盟自由的最大保障，應認為此類集會遊行應不受集會遊行法所規範，因此警察不得以集會遊行法為由強行介入；退步言之，縱然是採取「以罷工為目的的集會遊行」應受集會遊行法所規範的見解，仍應認為該集會遊行屬於集會遊行法第8條第1項第1款之「依法令規定舉行」之例外，因此毋庸事前申請。但我們在以警察法的角度思考之餘，仍應進一步考量「爭議對等原則」及「國家中立原則」的立場，因此前述自警察法角度得出的結論應再進一步修正，亦即不應允許警察以「危害預防」任務以及「集會遊行法」為由，過度干預勞工的爭議權行使。 而警察若面對的是「糾察線」時，又應如何處理？首先，就「危害防止」任務而言，仍可以集體勞動法領域的「和平勸服說」作為警察的職權發動判斷依據；其次，在「私權保護」任務的部分，若糾察線的設置導致激烈的衝突，而使行為人因而該當特定刑法構成要件時，因已經經過刑法所保護的特定法益並非「未經刑罰或公法化」之私權，不能滿足「私權保護」任務之前提，因此警察當然不能以此為由加以介入；其三，在「危害預防」任務的部分，警察可以依據警察職權行使法第9條針對糾察線設置現場的勞工進行資料蒐集；其四，在「集會遊行法」的部分，本文採取與罷工相同的看法，亦即一個以罷工為目的的集會遊行，由於其核心精神仍是在於勞動條件的談判，基於憲法上對於集體性同盟自由的最大保障，應認為此類集會遊行應不受集會遊行法所規範，因此警察不得以集會遊行法為由強行介入。而糾察線屬於附隨於罷工的重要爭議行為，其既為同盟自由所保障的集體勞動行為之一，亦應為相同解釋，因此就此一問題應採取否定的看法。至於「爭議對等原則」及「國家中立原則」的部分，若考量個別糾察線的設置若因違反刑法而遭到警察介入時，不必然會影響其他正在進行的爭議行為，換言之，個別糾察線設置的排除不必然會導致勞方的整體抗爭力量被過度削弱，因此仍應允許警察在滿足「危害防止」及「危害預防」任務要件的同時，主動發動其職權，例如以強制力排除侵害以及事先進行資料蒐集等。
