Through bibliographic researches the focus is to get in touch with the historic rise up of the event focused in the Methodist movement considering the religious experience of John Wesley and its repercussions worldwide. Following the introduction there comes the research focused specifically in the Methodist Awakening and its path to split at Brazilian land considering the Antonio Gouvea Mendonça thesis which affirms the Protestantism has followed the coffee path into Paraná State, specifically, at the City of Londrina. In order to affirm that a research upon historic documents and along some few people directly involved with the awakening at the Londrina´s Methodist Church since its foundation. A special emphasis is given to the ideological differences, to the socio-economic and political circumstances that took place at that time. The Pastoral behavior the Church affirmed while as Institution facing the awakening was studied out of existing documents and Church official Reports. Also what was discussed, agreed and planted along with the Episcopal Board of the Methodist Church over the subject. A document known as Episcopal Letter was treated very carefully as it was the main source to keep the unit of the Church and avoid divisions as in earlier times. Also a special care was given over the need of preservation of its documents as there was the menace of extinction of the agreed position taken by the Church. Finally, to try to better understand and get to know deeply the facts since its beginnings considering the concept and environment they took place. Yet through hearing and talking to eye witnesses of the awakening in Londrina there was driven efforts to check its growing on futures decades by observing it there really was a quality, organic and number growing linked to the awakening. Also to bring a close attention of other researchers for a deeply study at the subject once this single paperwork does not intent to deplete the chosen theme as wide as it is.(AU) / Este trabalho tem por finalidade descrever o movimento wesleyano como um movimento carismático e de renovação. Através de pesquisas bibliográficas, conhecer historicamente o surgimento e o caminhar desse, com ênfase no Movimento Metodista, considerando a experiência religiosa de João Wesley e a repercussão de seu trabalho em todo o mundo. Após essa etapa introdutória, a pesquisa foi concentrada na trajetória do Movimento Metodista no Brasil, levando em conta a tese de Antônio Gouvêa Mendonça, de que o trajeto do protestantismo tenha seguido o mesmo rumo da expansão do café e, dessa forma, perceber os caminhos até focar o Estado do Paraná e especificamente a cidade de Londrina; para tanto, buscou-se documentos históricos da implantação da Igreja Metodista em Londrina, incluindo as divisões ideológicas, as circunstâncias sócio-econômicas e políticas, ocorridas durante esse início. A seguir pesquisa-se o surgimento do movimento de avivamento na Igreja de Londrina levando em conta a postura pastoral que teve a denominação, enquanto instituição, frente ao movimento carismático, que ocorria no Brasil, analisando as atas e documentos existentes, a fundamentação bíblica e o que foi discutido, acatado e implantado no Colégio Episcopal da Igreja Metodista, sobre o tema. O cuidado em colocar esse documento, chamado de Carta Pastoral, prende-se ao fato de que o mesmo foi ponto fundamental para manter a unidade da Igreja e evitar o que antes ocorrera - * divisões. Dedicou-se também ao cuidado de preservação deste documento, haja vista a possibilidade de extinção e conseqüente esquecimento da posição outrora tomada pela Igreja. Finalizou-se buscando conhecer, a origem, o conceito e vivência, bem como o ambiente onde o avivamento ocorreu. Analisou-se a dimensão de crescimento e expansão nas décadas futuras, observando assim se houve ou não um crescimento qualitativo e numérico, como conseqüência de tal fenômeno. Possibilita-se assim, que outros pesquisadores aprofundem o assunto, uma vez que o trabalho foi delimitado a apenas uma década e a Igreja em Londrina, necessitando assim mais pesquisas onde o mesmo fenômeno aconteceu em outras regiões do Brasil.(AU)

Partindo-se das premissas de uma teoria e crítica feministas de base desconstrucionista, que permite a leitura conjunta do texto e do subtexto, pretende-se fazer uma análise das instâncias estruturais da narrativa em questão (enredo, narrador, personagens, tempo e espaço) de forma a apontar como a autora se utiliza dessas instância para promover uma contestação dos pressupostos maniqueístas e sexistas — ou oposições hierárquicas — que sustentam a sociedade e o pensamento ocidental a partir desses mesmos pressupostos. / The main purpose of this paper is to make a close reading of the dissemination of disarticulations attempted against the patriarchal universe by Kate Chopin (1850 – 1904) — a North-American Realistic writer — in The Awakening (1899), considered the authoress’ masterpiece. Departing from the premises of a Feminist theory and criticism based on Deconstruction, which allows the reading of the text and the subtext at the same time, we intend to make an analysis of the narrative structural instances (plot, narrator, characters, time and space) in order to demonstrate how the authoress uses these instances to build a reply of the sexists and manichaeists purposes — or hierarchical oppositions — that support the Western society and thinking by these same purposes.

At the turn of the 19th century, ideas promoting women’s rights were sweeping across America. During that time Kate Chopin’s The Awakening was published, portraying a young woman, Edna Pontellier, who after several years of emotional unfullfilment in her marriage questions her place as a woman in her marriage as well in society. Edna’s Presbyterian Kentuckian upbringing is in opposition to Catholic Creole society that her husband belongs to. Creole society, at that time, was governed by its unwritten social codes, which were especially clear on issues concerning women’s traditional roles in society in connection to marriage and social duties. In this essay I present how Edna’s emotional awakening and her struggle to achieve independence are in conflict with the cultural norms that exist in Creole society. Also, I argue that the reason why Edna fails in her search for individual freedom is because her awakening is emotional and not intellectual; she lacks knowledge and cannot perceive herself beyond the conventions that limit and oppress her. Additionally, Edna cannot find guidance in any of the other women because they all act within the frames of the role they are playing.

This essay argues that The Awakening treats the 1890s “modern woman” that arose from feminist ideas and the women’s movement, challenging patriarchal society with an independent lifestyle. Following Ringe, this essay suggests that the novel has a purpose of showing the process and the development of the protagonist’s individual self. But rather than connect this theme to the transcendentalist notion of the self, as Ringe does, this essay looks at this theme in the light of the notion of the “modern woman”. By arguing that Edna develops into a modern woman during this process, the essay finds that she moves from the traditional position as a “patriarchal woman” towards the role of an “emancipated woman”. Further, the essay shows that Edna’s development and thereby her attempt to change her position fails as the process of self-discovery is conflicted, resulting in Edna’s suicide. Finally, by also arguing that the novel treats a woman’s self and the process of a development, the essay visualizes that the novel is built-up by seven steps that together constitute the process from “patriarchal woman” to “emancipated woman”. This process awakens a self-awareness and self-image within Edna that are strengthened with each of these step as she becomes a “modern woman”. / Denna uppsats argumenterar för att The Awakening skildrar 1890-talets “moderna kvinna” som uppstod från feministiska idéer samt kvinnorörelsen och utmanade det patriarkaliska samhället med en självständig livsstil. Då jag följer Ringe påvisar den här uppsatsen att romanen har ett syfte att visa processen och utvecklingen av huvudpersonens individuella jag. Men istället för att koppla detta till den transcendentalistiska uppfattningen av jaget som Ringe gör, så kopplar denna uppsats detta till begreppet den “moderna kvinnan”. Genom att argumentera för att Edna utvecklas till en modern kvinna under denna process finner uppsatsen att hon flyttar från den traditionella rollen som en “patriarkalisk kvinna” mot rollen som en “emanciperad kvinna”. Uppsatsen visar vidare att Ednas utveckling och således hennes försök att ändra sin roll misslyckas då självupptäcktsprocessen står under konflikt, vilket resulterar i att Edna tar självmord. Genom att också argumentera för att romanen skildrar en kvinnas jag och processen av en utveckling visar slutligen uppsatsen att romanen är uppbyggd av sju olika steg som tillsammans utgör processen från ”patriarkalisk kvinna” till ”emanciperad kvinna”. Denna process väcker en självmedvetenhet samt en självbild inom Edna som förstärks med varje steg medan hon blir en “modern kvinna”.

In dieser Arbeit wurde bei 137 Probanden im Alter zwischen 8 und 14 Jahren untersucht, inwiefern sich die Basalcortisolsekretion sowie die Cortisol Awakening Response bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit internalisierenden oder externalisierenden Störungsbildern von gesunden Kindern und Jugendlichen unterscheiden. Außerdem wurde der Einfluss schlafbezogener Faktoren wie Schlafdauer, Zeitpunkt des Erwachens, Grad der Erholung und Schlafqualität auf die beiden Parameter untersucht. Diagnosegruppe, Schlafqualität und Grad der Erholung zeigten dabei keinen Einfluss auf die Cortisolparameter. Eine kurze Schlafdauer, frühes Erwachen, weibliches Geschlecht und höheres Alter der Probanden, zeigten eine signifikante Assoziation mit höheren Cortisolparametern. Die Interpretation einer HPA- Achsen- Dysregulation als diagnostischer Marker für psychiatrische Störungsbilder im Kindes- und Jugendalter sollte daher kritisch betrachtet werden. Co- Faktoren wie Geschlecht, Alter des Probanden, Schlafdauer und Zeitpunkt des Erwachens scheinen sowohl die basale Cortisolsekretion, als auch die CAR in signifikantem Maße zu beeinflussen und sollten in zukünftigen Studien zur Rolle der HPA- Achsen- Funktion im Rahmen psychiatrischer Störungsbilder sorgfältig kontrolliert werden.
