Gabrielle Roy kept up, throughout her literary life, a regular correspondence with relatives, friends, business relations and readers: to date, more than 2000 letters have been preserved in different archive collections. The 482 letters she wrote to her husband, Doctor Marcel Carbotte, between 1947 and 1979, form the largest subset of the correspondence; a critical edition of these hitherto unpublished letters is presented in the second part of the thesis. / Surprisingly, the correspondence contains few reflexions of an aesthetic nature, and few explicit traces of the novelist's published work, apart from occasional references to the texts she is working on at the moment she is writing to Marcel. Instead, it is the details of her day-to-day life that Roy describes most abundantly. In the first part of the thesis, we study the letters to Marcel in the light of a possible connection with Roy's canonical work: we start by examining the link between the letter and autobiographical genre; we then show that the letters to Marcel can be read as a personal diary; finally, we suggest that the "autobiographical turn" taken by Roy in both her published work and her letters to Marcel indicates that the letters form part of the same system as the autobiographical works.

Este estudo deseja ainda perceber a ação do registro coreográfico como uma prática politicamente implicada em seu contexto e em sua história, tendo em vista suas escolhas estéticas e procedimentais. Para o uso da noção de coreografia, bem como para as discussões contemporâneas sobre registro nas artes, foram acessados principalmente textos dos autores Luís Cláudio Costa (2009), Jacques Rancière (2005), Giorgio Agamben (2009) e André Lepecki (2007/2010/2013). Estes conceitos se desenvolvem na análise da obra “Retrospectiva” (2012) do coreógrafo Xavier Le Roy, que reorganizou os seus solos já realizados em uma nova construção compositiva. Metodologicamente, a análise dessa obra vale-se de parâmetros teóricos desenvolvidos pela pesquisadora sérvia Bojana Cvejić (2013), para quem é possível desmembrar a noção de performance em três processos de diferentes durações - o criar, o performar e o assistir - que acarretam experiências distintas entre si. A escolha da criação de Le Roy como foco central desta dissertação se respalda também no fato de o autor desta pesquisa ter se relacionado com a citada obra nas três dimensões propostas por Cvejić - o criar, o performar e o assistir -, sendo possível, nessa perspectiva, potencializar o vínculo teórico e artístico da análise aqui realizada. / This research proposes to understand documentation in dance as a possible choreographic act able of activate/actualize dance memories using itself as media. his study. This study also seeks to understand the action of choreographic documentation as a politically involved practice within their context and in its history, considering its aesthetic and procedural choices. For the use of the concept of choreography, as well as contemporary discussions on documentation in arts, I especially used texts from the authors Luís Cláudio Costa (2009), Jacques Rancière (2005), Giorgio Agamben (2009) e André Lepecki (2007/2010/2013). These concepts are developed in the analysis of the work "Retrospective" (2012), by Xavier Le Roy, who reorganized his preview solo works in a new compositional construction. Methodologically, the analysis of this work draws on theoretical parameters developed by the researcher Bojana Cvejic (2013), for whom it is possible to split the notion of performance in three modes of different durations - Creating, Performing and Attending - which lead to different experiences. The choice of having the Le Roy's work as the central focus of this dissertation is also supported by the fact that the author of this research have experienced this work in the three modes proposed by Cvejic - Creating, Performing and Attending - and it is possible, in this perspective, to enhance the theoretical and artistic bond of analysis invested here.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Nesse trabalho apresentamos a função e determinamos a natureza das convenções e hipóteses para os fundamentos científicos segundo a corrente convencionalista que surgiu na França na virada do século XIX para o XX, composta por Henri Poincaré, Pierre Duhem e Édouard Le Roy. Além disso, analisamos a relação que as convenções e hipóteses podem estabelecer com teses metafísicas através dos critérios utilizados pelos cientistas para determinar a preferência por certas teorias. Para isso, promovemos uma interpretação imanente das obras publicadas entre 1891 e 1905. Como resultado, revelamos que os autores, apesar de serem classificados como pertencentes a uma mesma corrente, não possuem apenas posições comuns, mas também divergências. Poincaré e Le Roy concordam que as convenções geométricas são escolhidas de acordo com o critério de conveniência. Contudo, eles discordam sobre o valor que a conveniência agrega ao conhecimento científico. Em relação aos fenômenos naturais, os três autores concordam que a realidade não pode ser descrita univocamente por um mesmo conjunto de convenções e hipóteses. Porém, Poincaré e Duhem acreditam que há critérios que tornam umas teorias mais satisfatórias que outras. Analisamos os critérios experimentais, racionais e axiológicos que justificam a satisfação dos cientistas com certas teorias e apontamos como estes critérios se relacionam com a metafísica. Concluímos que os convencionalistas, mesmo que cautelosamente e de modo implícito, buscaram se aproximar da metafísica com o intuito de justificar a própria atividade científica. / In this work, we present the function and we determine the nature of conventions and hypotheses for the scientific foundations according with the conventionalist doctrine that arose in France during the turning of the XIX century to the XX. The doctrine was composed by Henri Poincaré, Pierre Duhem and Édouard Le Roy. Moreover, we analyze the relation that conventions and hypotheses can establish with metaphysical thesis through criteria used by scientists in order to determine the preference for certain theories. Thereunto, we promote an immanent interpretation of published works between 1891 and 1905. As result, we reveal that the authors, though being classified as belonging to the same doctrine, don't have only common grounds, but also divergences. Poincaré and Le Roy agree that geometrical conventions are chosen in accordance with convenience criteria. However, they disagree about the value convenience aggregate to scientific knowledge. In regards to natural phenomena, the three authors agree that reality can't be described univocally by the same set of conventions and hypotheses. Yet, Poincaré and Duhem both believe that there are experimental, rational and axiological criteria that justify scientists satisfaction with certain theories and we indicate how those criteria are related with metaphysics. We conclude that conventionalists, even if warily and implicitly, searched to approach metaphysics in order to justify scientific activity.

Such images are responsible for the generation of a proper visual language instituted by the contemporary visual communication, once there is identification of post-modern man with the artist style. The Deep Hermeneutics of John Thompson has been the methodology chosen to enable the development of this thesis. lnitially it is approached the history of visual communication and its transformations influenced by technologies. After that, it is treated the theoretical questions related to the image and imaginary. The vanguards are approached in what concerns Pop Art, artistic movement which Lichtenstein has participated and that anticipates the man visualization post-modern. The Lichtenstein Style is appropriate by the post-modern visual communication, because, between other factors, it is more easily employed through the new informatics technologies. In this way, the limitations inherent to previous periods related with creation, production and reproduction of images has been overcome. The modern images of the artist are analyzed and interpreted to subsequently provide contributions to the understanding of the post-modern appropriations. The images are easily interpreted by the contemporary man by the imaginary, because they are harmonized with the characteristics of today sociocultural configuration, the post-modern condition.His images involve the notions of design, of reproduction, of simplification, of direct communication (commercial communication), of work in group, of appropriation, of rereading and even the banality’s aesthetics. These notions permeate the contemporary visual communication, being Lichtenstein a revolutionary artist. It has noticed that the image is an important vector of socialization and that the exchange between areas such as art, publicity, design, and popular culture powers the visual communication. / O presente trabalho discute as imagens de Lichtenstein enquanto comunicação. Tais imagens são responsáveis pela geração de uma linguagem visual própria instituída pela comunicação visual contemporânea, uma vez que existe a identificação do homem pós-moderno com o estilo do artista. A hermenêutica de profundidade de John Thompson foi à metodologia escolhida para viabilizar o desenvolvimento desta tese. Inicialmente aborda-se a história da comunicação visual e suas transformações influenciadas pelas tecnologias. Apos tratam-se questões teóricas relacionadas com a imagem e o imaginário. As vanguardas são abordadas no que tangem a Pop Art, movimento artístico do qual participou Lichtenstein e que antecipa a visualidade pós-moderna. O estilo Lichtenstein é apropriado pela comunicação visual pós-moderna, pois, dentre outros fatores, é também mais facilmente empregado através das novas tecnologias da informática. Assim, as limitações inerentes a períodos anteriores relacionadas com a criação, a produção e a reprodução de imagens foram superadas. As imagens modernas do artista são analisadas e interpretadas para posteriormente fornecerem aporte ao entendimento das apropriações pós-modernas. As imagens são facilmente interpretadas pelo homem contemporâneo via imaginário, sendo condizentes com as características da configuração sócio-cultural da atualidade, a condição pós-moderna.Suas imagens envolvem as noções de projeto, de reprodução, de simplificação, de comunicação direta, de trabalho em equipe, de apropriação, de releitura e até mesmo da estética da banalidade. Essas noções permeiam a comunicação visual contemporânea, sendo Lichtenstein um artista revolucionário. Percebeu-se que a imagem é um importante vetor de socialização e que o intercâmbio entre áreas como arte, publicidade, design e cultura popular potencializa a comunicação visual.

Background: The development of society and the ongoing medical change have contributed to the development of palliative home care. It has become increasingly common for patients to choose to be treated palliatively at home. One of the key concepts in healthcare is the well-being, this term can be seen as a subjective concept and closely linked to quality of life. Well-being means experiencing mild suffering and being satisfied with their life situation. Healthcare professionals working in palliative home care describe several factors that they consider to be of importance to the patient's experience of well-being and good palliative care. Aim: To illuminate affecting factors of well-being in adult patients in the palliative home care. Method: This degree project has been carried out as a literature review where 13 scientific articles have been studied. The articles were analyzed by Friberg’s method and the foundations and differences regarding the patient's perception of well-being were presented in three themes. Results: Based on analysis of scientific articles, three themes were created: relationships, hope and a secure base. The perception of well-being in patients proved to be linked to factors affecting a secure base, hope and relationships. Discussion: The method was discussed based on the chosen method and the articles strengths and weaknesses. The result was discussed based on other studies in the same areas as well as Calista Roy’s adaptation model.

The core of this essay is the book "The God of Small Things" written by the Indian novelist Arundhati Roy. The strong power of both caste systems or traditional principles and politics is the starting-point of this essay. For this reason, as the center of this tale is a Hindu family of high caste, and consequently very traditional, the identity of the women in the book are of great interest. The women in "The God of Small Things" are very fascinating not only for the reason that they are strongly influenced by their life stories, but even more for the influence their actions and identities have on their children. Of course, none of them can be judged for the shape of their identity, as they all are a merger of culture, religion and politics. More exactly, the divided identities of these women are discussed in relation to firstly their Hindu identity acquired by their society and traditions, and secondly their colonial/post-colonial identity nearly imposed upon them by the colonial forces. In this essay I discuss and analyse three generations of women, a total of four characters. In addition, two other characters are used in order to illustrate the differences that women from the colonizing country (Great Britain) hold in contrast to women from the colonized country (India).
