A estrutura independente e a arquitetura moderna brasileiraMarquardt, Seina January 2005 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objetivo a análise de um conjunto de obras que pertence ao grupo da vertente modernista brasileira, parte da escola carioca e parte da escola paulista. O fator comum entre elas é a independência dos elementos estruturais em relação aos demais que compõem os edifícios. O período delimitado para este estudo começa em 1936 e vai até 1961, de acordo com as datas dos projetos analisados. Como os momentos de consolidação das duas escolas não são coincidentes, o período entre essas datas é o maior, de acordo com o panorama nacional e internacional, que não deve ser considerado isoladamente em relação a cada escola. A Arquitetura Moderna Brasileira, tendo por base os princípios do racionalisma estutural, sob forte influência corbusiana, trilha o caminho de uma produção própria, valendo-se da cultura e tecnologia locais. Utilizando-se os exemplos de Lúcio Costa, Affonso Eduardo Reidy e Vilanova Artigas, de temas diversos, puderam ser analisadas as influências internacionais recebidas e o legado deixado por eles à produção arquitetônica brasileira desde então. Acompanham o texto escrito ilustrações que, além de seu caráter complementar, são imprescindíveis para a compreensão deste trabalho.

Through the Eyes of Shamans: Childhood and the Construction of Identity in Rosario Castellanos' "Balun-Canan" and Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me, Ultima"Nava, Tomas Hidalgo 09 July 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This study offers a comparative analysis of Rosario Castellanos' Balún-Canán and Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima, novels that provide examples on how children construct their identity in hybrid communities in southeastern Mexico and the U.S. southwest. The protagonists grow and develop in a context where they need to build bridges between their European and Amerindian roots in the middle of external influences that complicate the construction of a new mestizo consciousness. In order to attain that consciousness and free themselves from their divided selves, these children receive the aid of an indigenous mentor who teaches them how to establish a dialogue with their past, nature, and their social reality. The protagonists undertake that negotiation by transgressing the rituals of a society immersed in colonial dual thinking. They also create mechanisms to re-interpret their past and tradition in order to create an image of themselves that is not imposed by the status quo.
In both novels, the protagonists have to undergo similar processes to overcome their identity crises, including transculturation, the creation of sites of memory, and a transition from orality to writing. Each of them resorts to creative writing and becomes a sort of shaman who pulls together the "spirits" from the past, selects them, and organizes them in a narration of childhood that is undertaken from adulthood. The results of this enterprise are completely different in the cases of both protagonists because the historical and social contexts vary. The boy in Bless Me, Ultima can harmoniously gather the elements to construct his identity, while the girl in Balún-Canán fails because of the pressures of a male-centered and highly racist society.
