Essa pesquisa objetiva examinar o papel do diagrama nas casas seriadas do arquiteto americano Peter Eisenman e evidenciar a base formal de seu trabalho de projeto. Trabalha-se com a hipótese de que seus diagramas são a priori, isto é, antecedem as questões de programa, e que seu trabalho diagramático forja um contexto que faz das obras os objetos de uma rede de relações de formas e de significados. A partir do início dos anos sessenta, o diagrama passa a ser a chave de seu projeto teórico, que tem como problema de fundo o mito de uma arquitetura autônoma, formulada na fronteira entre as disciplinas da semiótica, da fenomenologia, da cognição e da filosofia. Nessa fronteira, o diagrama participa operativamente da ideia de uma arquitetura conceitual que não se afirma simplesmente pela presença do edifício, mas fundamentalmente por relações lógicas que constituem a base da abordagem formalista da arquitetura. Em princípio, a tese apresenta os diferentes significados que o diagrama assume nas várias áreas do conhecimento e procura destacar a contribuição de Eisenman na investigação sobre o papel operativo do conceito no projeto arquitetônico. Segue-se a esse tópico a contextualização da agenda teórica de Eisenman a partir de sua inserção no ambiente cultural inglês, quando ele assimila o recorte analítico de seu mentor, Colin Rowe, para formular a sua primeira crítica ao funcionalismo. Como contraponto à ideia de que Eisenman aborda os diagramas como um a priori formal, examina-se os conceitos de diagrama e de forma na tese de doutorado de Christopher Alexander, texto em que ele defende uma visão mecanicista do diagrama como solução extensiva do projeto. A partir desses contextos, desenvolve-se um exame do papel dos diagramas nas leituras do precedente histórico que Eisenman empreende em análises formais de obras modernistas e de obras do arquiteto italiano Giuseppe Terragni. Tomando-se como premissa que seu trabalho analítico começa já na construção dos textos críticos, evidencia-se as bases formais dos diagramas do texto de Eisenman e a transposição dessas bases para o conjunto de estudos de casas que ele reúne como uma série de objetos numerados, de 1 a 11 A. A partir do levantamento e da classificação de um grande volume de registros gráficos e de escritos sobre essas obras, descrevem-se as referências e as articulações dos diagramas que constituem a pré-história do experimento de projeto de Peter Eisenman. Como conclusão, retorna-se aos textos do autor, escritos durante e após os projetos das casas, para se apontar a opção de Eisenman por fundamentar seu discurso com conceitos da linguística e da filosofia, em detrimento de uma explicitação do diagrama como sua chave formal e conceitual, para ler e para construir a arquitetura. A partir da constatação de que o diagrama de Eisenman é um dispositivo de linguagem que lhe permite discutir as regras da representação e as convenções do discurso sobre a forma de dentro do exercício de projeto, considera-se que seu trabalho diagramático coloca a perspectiva de um modo de conhecimento autônomo, fundado na racionalidade formal. / This research examines the role of the diagram in the series of houses designed by American architect, Peter Eisenman, and underlines the formal basis of his design work. The hypothesis is that his diagrams are a priori, meaning they precede any issues in the program, and that his diagrammatic work creates a context that makes the projects objects in a network of relationships of forms and meanings. From the early 1960s, the diagram became the key to his theoretical thinking, which has, as its basic problem, the myth of an autonomous architecture, formulated on the border between the disciplines of semiotics, phenomenology, cognition, and philosophy. On this border, the diagram takes an operative part in the idea of a conceptual architecture that does not simply affirm itself by the presence of the building but fundamentally by logical relationships that form the basis of a formalistic approach to architecture. The first chapter presents the main meanings a diagram assumes in different areas of knowledge and seeks to highlight Eisenman\'s contribution to the investigation into the operative role of the concept in an architectural project. This chapter is followed by the contextualization of Eisenman\'s theoretical agenda, from its insertion into the English cultural environment, when he assimilates the analytical approach of his mentor, Colin Rowe, then to formulate his first critique of functionalism. As a counterpoint to the idea that Eisenman addresses diagrams as a formal a priori principle, the concepts of the diagram and form in the doctorate thesis by Christopher Alexander are examined, a text in which he advocates a mechanistic view of the diagram as an extensive design solution. From these contexts, an examination is developed, about the role of diagrams in historical readings that Eisenman uses in his formal analysis of modernist works, and in the works by the Italian architect, Giuseppe Terragni. Assuming as a premise that his analytical work already starts with the construction of critical texts, the fifth and sixth chapter highlight the formal basis of the diagrams in Eisenman\'s text, and the transposition of these basis for his houses studies, which he gathers together as a series of numbered objects, from 1 to 11 A. Based on a archival survey, on the classification of a large volume of project records and writings about these works, the chapter eighth describes the prehistory of Peter Eisenman\'s design experiment: the diagram\'s references and articulations extensive to the whole series. In conclusion, the author\'s texts, written during and after the house projects, are returned to in order to identify Eisenman\'s decision to base his ideas on concepts from linguistics and philosophy, rather than on an explanation of the diagram as the formal and conceptual key, with which he read and constructed architecture. After noting that Eisenman\'s diagram is a device of language that allows him to discuss the rules of architectural representation and the conventions of discourse on how to exercise it within a project, it is considered that his work with diagrams develops in the perspective of an autonomous mode of knowledge, based on formal rationality.

Parte-se da ideia de que a circulação na sociedade, especialmente através da internet, de comentários com um componente crítico em relação aos produtos do jornalismo, esteja gerando tensões e alterações de práticas nas redações. A possibilidade em exame aqui, é a de que esse comentário tem a potencialidade de gerar um repensar de práticas nos meios de comunicação de massas. Busca-se, então, entender como esses comentários são recebidos, selecionados e circulados nas redações dos jornais brasileiros, e por fim, que afetações eles geram na construção da notícia. Como base a essa análise, são discutidas as mudanças na sociedade e na comunicação, em especial, a partir da popularização da internet. A reflexão busca repensar a condição do leitor nesse contexto, discutindo seu papel desde a ideia de um receptor passivo, até um leitor que avalia e produz com os meios de comunicação. Para observar o trabalho crítico empreendido por esses sujeitos, discute-se as possibilidades dessa relação e o funcionamento do que José Luiz Braga (2006) chama de Sistema de Resposta Social. A discussão é potencializada pelas observações empreendidas em pesquisa exploratória realizada nos jornais O Globo, em outubro de 2013, Correio Braziliense, em novembro de 2013, Folha de S. Paulo, em outubro de 2014, e Zero Hora, em novembro de 2014. Nas redações foram entrevistados editores, e observadas as rotinas de interação entre o comentário social sobre a mídia e os jornais. Neste momento, postula-se que esse contato tem gerado afetações nas práticas jornalísticas a partir da consciência, por parte dos profissionais, da atuação de uma sociedade mais atenta. Do ponto de vista teórico, acreditamos que esse momento deve gerar um repensar também das teorias que discutem os elementos que atuam na construção das notícias. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa busca a formação de uma base teórica que delineia os fluxos da crítica social dentro das redações, suas limitações e potencialidades. / This dissertation is dedicated to understanding the relations between the social comments about the media and the development of the current journalism. It starts with the idea that the circulation of comments in the society, especially through the internet, with a critical component in relation to the products of journalism may be causing tension and changes of practices in the newsrooms. The possibility in question is that comments have the potential to generate a new way of thinking about practices used in the mass media. The aim is to understand how the comments are received, selected and moved through the newsrooms of Brazilian newspapers, and finally which affectations they generate in the development of the news. The current analysis is based on the discussion of the changes in the society and communication particularly since the internet popularization. This observation rethinks the reader position in this context discussing its role as a passive receiver and as a reader who assesses and produces along with the media. A discussion about the possibilities of this relation and the results of what José Luiz Braga (2006) calls Social Response System is created in order to observe the critical work undertaken by these people. The discussion is enhanced by the observations taken through exploratory researches performed in the newspapers O Globo, in October 2013, Correio Braziliense, in November 2013, Folha de São Paulo, in October 2014, and Zero Hora, in November 2014. Editors were interviewed in the newsrooms and the routines of interaction between the social comments and the newspapers were observed. At this moment, it is postulated that the contact has generated affectations in the journalistic practices which come from the conscience of having a more alert society. From a theorerical point of view, we believe this moment may generate another way of thinking about the theories involving the elements that act in the construction of the news. In this context, the research looks for a theoretical basis which outlines the social criticism flows in the newsrooms, its limitations and potentialities.

Por meio da elaboração de um estudo de caso envolvendo as traduções brasileiras de quatro obras em prosa de James Joyce, este trabalho descreve o papel e a história social dos tradutores brasileiros como agentes de inovação cultural por meio de suas traduções, teorias e produções no campo literário brasileiro. A tese destaca o papel individual dos tradutores das obras de Joyce que foram fundamentais na introdução e assimilação da literatura ocidental canônica no Brasil e que também são os responsáveis por incluir o país no centro da cultura moderna. A hipótese deste estudo de caso é que a escolha dos tradutores ao traduzirem obras de Joyce e as traduções produzidas no Brasil a partir de 1945 até o momento da escrita desta tese contribuíram para tornar possível uma teoria de tradução literária eclética, mas de características muito brasileiras e que esta foi sendo edificada a partir do trabalho desses agentes. / By building a case study of Brazilian translations of four works in prose by James Joyce this study describes the role and social history of Brazilian translators as agents of cultural innovation through their translations, theories and production in the Brazilian literary field. The thesis stresses the role of individual translators of Joyces works who have played a key role in the introduction and assimilation of canonical Western literature in Brazil and are also responsible for including the country at the center of modern culture. In my case study, the hypothesis is that the translators choice of translating Joyces works, and the translations produced in Brazil from 1945 until the time of this thesis have helped make possible an eclectic but also a very characteristic Brazilian theory of translation, and that it has been possible to be built from the work of these agents.

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the high-stakes standardized test movement in Texas secondary schools. The method to accomplish this task was to compare the perceptions between Texas secondary school administrators and supporters, critics, and researchers of high-stakes testing. Out of 400 potential respondents randomly selected from 2005-2006 membership list of Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, 178 administrators participated in an electronic survey to rate the extent to which 31 statements derived from supporters, critics, and the unintended consequences of high-stakes testing as reported by researchers in current literature. Means, standard deviations, and frequencies were used to make assumptions about perceptions of secondary administrators. Independent t-tests were conducted to test for possible perception differences between groups identified in the study. Independent groups examined in this study included: Gender (Male and Female), Years of Administrative Experience (1-4 years vs. 15 or More Years), Campus Classification (Large vs. Small), and Current Campus Rating (Exemplary and Recognized vs. Academically Acceptable). Using an alpha level of .05 to establish significance, t-tests suggest that significant differences exist between large and small school administrators on statements 5 and 7. Further, significant differences exist between male and female administrators on statements 4 and 5. The findings of this study seem to suggest that Texas secondary principals strongly support the following statements: 1. No high-stakes decision such as grade retention or graduation should be based on the results of a single test. 2. Educators are making use of student performance data generated by highstakes tests to help them refine programs, channel funding, and identify roots of success. 3. High-stakes tests have helped focus public attention on schools with lowachieving students. 4. The public display of high-stakes test scores motivates administrators. 5. High-stakes testing has resulted in a loss of local control of curricula. 6. The implementation of high-stakes testing has been a catalyst for increased attention to students with special needs. 7. Doing poorly on high-stakes tests does not lead to increased student effort to learn.

This study looks at alternative models of follow-up album success in order to determine if there is a relationship between the decrease in Metascore ratings (assigned by Metacritic.com) between the first and second album for a musician or band and the 1) music genre or 2) the number of years between the first and second album release. The results support the dominant thought, which suggests that neither belonging to a certain genre of music nor waiting more or less time to drop the second album makes an artist more susceptible to the Sophomore Slump. This finding is important because it forces us to identify other potential causes for the observed disappointing performance of a generally favorable musician’s second album.

Esta Dissertação investiga o projeto literário e político de Mansueto Bernardi (1888-1966), através da interpretação e análise dos seus ensaios literários e historiográficos, discursos e poemas. O autor, apesar de ter editado uma única obra literária, Terra convalescente, teve intensa atuação cultural e política durante a primeira metade do século XX, criando e dirigindo periódicos da Livraria e Editora Globo, de Porto Alegre, atuando em funções administrativas dos governos estadual e federal, chegando, inclusive, a chefiar a Casa da Moeda, durante o governo de Getúlio Vargas. Desse modo, este estudo tenta mostrar que Bernardi procurou divulgar a cultura do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul e esforçou-se para difundir o catolicismo na sociedade brasileira, colocando, em virtude disso, a religião como linha norteadora de seu projeto literário e político. Trata-se, portanto, de uma discussão interdisciplinar que transita entre a Literatura, a História e a Sociologia, e se volta para a cultura regional. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-05T19:29:55Z No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTACAO Adiane F Marinello.PDF: 2047407 bytes, checksum: 58c096147573d974b4add8ff57464d13 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-05T19:29:55Z (GMT).

Having published only one literary work, the author had nevertheless intense cultural and political activity in the first half of twentieth century. Besides creating and supervising periodicals at Livraria e Editora Globo, in Porto Alegre, he served in both the federal and the Rio Grande do Sul state governments, having achieved the position of Chairman of the Brazilian Mint (Casa da Moeda) during President Getúlio Vargas administration. This study attemps to demonstrate that Bernardi tried to make the culture of Rio Grande do Sul known and made considerable efforts to divulge the creed of Catholicism in Brazilian society, therefore placing religion as a main source for his literary and political project. This Dissertation constitutes an interdisciplinary approach that reports the findings of research involving Literature, History and Sociology, while focusing regional culture.

This dissertation is an investigation on the realist film theory of Siegfried Kracauer. It was principally conducted through film practice as exemplified by the ten short films that compose the omnibus film project, Life-world Series (dir. Joni Gutierrez, 2017, 118 minutes). To supplement the study's examination of Kracauerian cinematic realism (KCR), film criticism of selected works of Lino Brocka was also accomplished. The methodology involved three components: (1) research-based production of Life-world Series; (2) textual analyses of the said film collection and selected Brocka films; and (3) meta-analysis of the scholarly criticism on the Brocka film. This dissertation is the first to use film-making practice which was a part of the research project and devised to investigate KCR, which avows that the cinematic experience of physical reality as an object of contemplation fosters an intuitive understanding of the Lebenswelt (life-world) and, in turn, brings about the redemptive potential of film vis-à-vis the modern condition. The emergent design of Life-world Series opened the study to a wide range of possibilities that it could not have encountered if it limited itself to applying a particular theory as a framework in doing film criticism of pre-existing works. This project - through both its film practice and criticism components - is an interweaving of key notions from Husserlian phenomenology and the seven KCR tropes identified in the study, namely: (1) the quotidian; (2) the transient; (3) the refuse; (4) the fortuitous; (5) the indeterminate; (6) the flow of life; and (7) the spiritual life itself. The phenomenological engagement of this investigation has provided opportunities for expanding the inventory of KCR tropes, to conceivably include characteristics of the Lebenswelt which form part of the project's overall findings; that is, the life-world as: (1) expansive; (2) multi-layered; (3) flowing; (4) in the process of becoming; (5) resonantly intersubjective; (6) a thing of beauty; (7) relating to essences; (8) cyclical; (9) transcendent; (10) meaning-laden; (11) fragmented; and (12) malleable. The dissertation explicates how its phenomenological approach in inspecting KCR led to the construction of a prospective model of cinematic realism - the integrated quadrant model of Kracauerian cinematic realism (IQMKCR) - and finally, determines the implications and prospects of using film practice as an instrument in interrogating KCR.

The artist uses herself as the object of study. Her subjective position is validated within a theoretical framework provided by feminism, existentialism and Freudian theory. The three world views provide the context for an analysis of sculpture produced between the years 1988 and 1997. Three one-person exhibitions held in 1990, 1993 and 1996, are examined in terms of their iconographic emphasis and their theoretical bias. The role of the unconscious in the genesis of the sculptures and the problem of author/reader dichotomies in interpretation are dealt with as thematic threads throughout the dissertation. / Department of History of Art and Fine Arts / M.A. (Fine Arts)

Considering the passage from the play text to the film as a process of "intersemiotic translation" (following Roman Jakobson), or "transcreation" (as established by Haroldo de Campos), we propose an approximation to Hirszman's creative thought, artist witch, as Guarnieri, has marked the Brazilian political and cultural scenario for the past decades. / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo conhecer o processo de criação do filme Eles não usam blacktie (1981), de Leon Hirszman, baseado na peça homônima de Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, utilizando o referencial teórico fornecido pela Crítica de Processo (conforme Cecilia Salles) e os documentos referentes à realização da obra, tais como Argumentos, roteiros, Storyboard, entre outros. Tomando a passagem do texto teatral para a obra audiovisual como um processo de transposição intersemiótica (seguindo Roman Jakobson), ou ainda de transcriação (no sentido desenvolvido por Haroldo de Campos), propomos uma aproximação ao pensamento criador de Hirszman, artista que, assim como Guarnieri, marcou o cenário político-cultural brasileiro das últimas décadas.
