Art and the artist in the literary works of Elsa Triolet
No full textThis thesis takes a representative selection of Triolet's works to study the themes of writing and creativity as they are presented in the novels. These are all portraits of artists and the accounts of the search for a synthesis of aesthetic freedom and ethical responsibility. It considers Triolet's importance as a foreign writer, adopting a new creative language to be adopted by a different cultural
environment, to be essential in understanding her importance to the French literary tradition. By emphasising her formative years in the avant-garde circles of prerevolutionary Russia, my study demonstrates her considerable contribution to the meeting of Russian and French aesthetic theories. I extend this with close textual
readings of certain works to demonstrate her techniques in novelistic construction which reveal many Formalist practices before Formalist works in translation made
their official influence on creative methods.
The introduction considers the reasons for Triolet's neglect as a writer. It then considers various contemporary and recent critical appraisals which indicate
the interest she has received until present and which allow me to define my own critical approach. Part One traces Triolet's literary evolution from her formative
years in Russia, through exile to her first publications in Russian. It then considers her insertion into French literary activity, and her association with the schools of
socialist realism and the "nouveau roman".
Part Two examines two traditional novels which portray the creative and metaphorical roles of the artist and his work, showing the constant conflict between private and public lives. In Part Three, I show how aspects of novelistic
traditionalism are gradually foregrounded so that the work develops a dual-sided character where it both narrates and examines the processes of its own narration. In Part Four, this move to highly self-conscious aesthetics demonstrates an idiosyncratic exploration of new paths for the novel that bring visual, auditive and cinematographic media into the traditional domain of written art. Accompanying
the very post-modernist experimentation, I show how this research within the novel into the novel's own future has an ethical and redemptive purpose whose final conclusion is that creativity and human freedom are inexorably interwoven
«Where there is no vice of exterminating poets»: Elsa Morante and The world saved by kids
No full textreservedIn questo elaborato verrà analizzato il libro più eccentrico di Elsa Morante: Il mondo salvato dai ragazzini.
Dopo un iniziale inquadramento storico e una precisazione in merito al genere letterario in cui l'opera rientra, si analizzeranno gli influssi che la cultura orientale ha avuto sull'opera e i rimandi intertestuali con Simone Weil, dichiarato modello dell'autrice.
Si passerà poi a un'analisi più puntuale sulla terza sezione: le Canzoni popolari, e si spiegherà dettagliatamente chi siano i Felici Pochi e i ragazzini a cui Elsa Morante affida il compito di salvare il mondo.
Per concludere si porteranno degli esempi puntuali di Felici Pochi anonimi, mettendoli in relazione con alcuni personaggi di un'altra importante opera della stessa autrice: La Storia.This paper will analyse Elsa Morante's most eccentric book:The World Saved by Little Kids.
After an initial historical background and a clarification regarding the literary genre in which the work falls, the influences that Eastern culture had on the work and the intertextual cross-references with Simone Weil, the author's declared model, will be analysed.
It will then turn to a more pointed analysis on the third section: the Folk Songs, and will explain in detail who the Happy Few and the little kids are to whom Elsa Morante entrusts the task of saving the world.
To conclude, timely examples of anonymous Happy Few will be brought in, relating them to some of the characters in another important work by the same author, The Story

Elsa Oestreicher Collection 1878-1963 bulk: 1942-1945
No full textElsa Oestreicher, the wife of a physician, had a successful career of her own as a cooking teacher instructor and author of cookbooks. Series II and III of the collection comprise her notes on Theresienstadt, written in camp from 1942 to 1945, as well as a collection of poems from the same time. Moreover, the collection contains concentration-camp insignia, such as yellow “Jew” stars, camp money, ration cards, a library card, working papers etc. Further items of the collection are certificates related to her profession, culinary arts material, correspondence with relatives and former students and family papers as well as memoirs written by Elsa Oestreicher, which provide detailed genealogical information on her ancestors.Some handwritten notes, written in Theresienstadt and Deggendorf (box 1, folder 4) are available in electronic form in an English translation by Vernon Mosheim.Photographs of Jewish communities of Beerfelden and Frankfurt am Main have been removed to the LBI Photograph CollectionElsa Herz was born in Berlin on November 6, 1878, the first child of Salomon Herz and Anna Margarete Alexander. In 1898 she married the physician Dr. Jacques Oestreicher and in 1899 their daughter Anni Henriette Oestreicher, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1935, was born. During World War I Elsa Oestreicher worked as a Hilfsschwester (assistant nurse) for the Red Cross for more than 4 years and received two medals, a Zivilverdienstkreuz and the Rote Kreuzmedaille, for her efforts. After World War I she worked as a cooking instructor for about five years at the Schule der Hausfrauen (Am Karlsbad 13) and wrote a number of cookbooks. Due to growing anti-Semitism she had to give up her position there and she opened a private cooking school which operated successfully until Elsa was at first forbidden to instruct Christian students and later on, to teach Jewish students as well. After that, Elsa Oestreicher worked in a Jewish hospital, the Siechenheim der Reichsvereinigung in Gross-Lichterfelde and when it was dissolved, in the kitchen of the Durchgangslager (transit camp), Grosse Hamburgerstrasse. Three months after her husband’s death in August 1942, she was deported to Theresienstadt on November 4, 1942. In Theresienstadt Elsa Oestreicher worked as a cook, a cooking instructor and as head of the soup-kitchen. After the liberation of Theresienstadt she had to stay at the Displaced Persons Center Deggendorf until she immigrated via Sweden to the United States in 1946, where she died in New York in 1963.3-page inventory.digitizedBeerfelden ; Frankfurt am Mai
Charging tenants with maintenance fees. Analysis on the basis of tax on goods and services
No full textArtykuł opublikowany w czasopiśmie "Przegląd Prawniczy Europejskiego Stowarzyszenia Studentów Prawa ELSA Poland" w zeszycie 1/2013, został wyłoniony w drodze konkursów organizowanych przez Grupy Lokalne ELSA Poland w 2013r.This article identifies key problems connected with imposing a value added tax on re-invoicing
the costs of utilities relating to rental agreement. I throws doubt on whether all the supplies which the
landlord makes to the tenant constitute a single supply from the point of view of VAT. Author discusses
possible classification of above -mentioned transaction for VAT purposes (i.e. as an autonomous and
separate from tenancy supply or as a indivisible economic supply which it would be artificial to split
rental component). It also gives the readers the insight into tax consequences of designed legal and tax
classifications. Moreover, the article shows differences between standpoints presented in a recent
interpretation issued by tax authorities and judicial decisions. It also gives an overview of the most
recent judicial practice of the Court of Justice of the EU connected with re-invoicing service charge.
Author emphasizes the relevance of judgments issued by the CJEU (especially the verdict
on 27 September 2012 in case C-392/11 Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP v. Commissioners for Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs which seems to play a major part in resolving the dispute in question)

Diferenças geracionais e transtornos mentais comuns em participantes do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil).
No full textAiming to collaborate with the field of workers' health in public services of federal institutions, this thesis proposes to present discussions regarding the occurrence of common mental disorders related to occupational stressors. This research is part of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brazil). This is a cross-sectional study, including 15,105 participants interviewed at baseline, aged between 35 and 74 years. Sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, medication use, and work domains were considered in the analyses. Common mental disorders (CMD) were measured by the Clinical Interview
Schedule (CIS-R) and occupational stressors by the Swedish scale of the Demand-ControlSocial Support Questionnaire (DCSQ). As a result of the thesis, three articles were written: (1) Birth generation, gender, and common mental disorders in public servants participating in ELSA-Brazil; (2) Occupational stress and common mental disorders: generational and gender differences in the ELSA-Brazil cohort; (3) Generational and gender differences in the severity of common mental disorders in the ELSA-Brazil cohort: the influence of occupational stress. In Article 01, the prevalence of CMDs was estimated and described according to race/skin color, education, marital status, alcohol consumption, smoking, use of antidepressants and
benzodiazepines. Date of birth characterized the generation of birth. More than 60% of the cohort belongs to the Baby Boomer generation.The prevalence of CMD was 26.7% (women = 33.8% and men = 18.4%). The highest prevalence occurred among Generation X participants (30.4%). CMD were more prevalent among women compared to men in all generations. In Article 02, 12,015 active participants were eligible, excluding retired workers. Among active study participants, 26.8% had CMD. However, the prevalence among women reached 35.9% compared to 19.3% of men (PR = 1.86; 95% CI [1.75-1.98]). Analyzing the association between occupational stressors and CMDs after adjusting the model, the positive and
statistically significant association between occupational stress and CMDs was maintained only among women from the Baby Boomer Generation who had active work (PR=1.32; 95%CI [1.13-1.54]) and high-demand/exhausting work (PR=1.41; 95%CI [1.14-1.73]) and among women from Generation X who had active work (PR=1.39; 95%CI [1.09-1.78]).In Article 03, the extent to which occupational stress modified the severity of CMDs according to gender and birth generation among active participants was assessed. Women presented 2.4 times more severe CMDs and 1.5 times more mild to moderate CMDs than men. The presence of interaction between education, occupational stress and severity of CMDs was observed in women from the Baby Boomer Generation. Women with a high school diploma submitted to active work (combined by high demands and high control) when compared to low-demand/exhaustion work (low demand and high control) have 53% more occurrence of mild to moderate CMDs (PR=1.53; 95% CI [1.09-2.15]) and 42% more severe CMDs. Based on these findings, we hope to contribute knowledge to public health, from the perspective of birth generations and gender, suggesting new studies to evaluate the role of public policies in the prevention of common mental disorders. It is important to highlight that new research
based on generational cohorts is beneficial in order to analyze the impact of these work demands and domestic tasks on the illness of these workers, seeking alternatives to reduce the current demands at universities, in addition to promoting improvements to minimize gender inequalities.Visando colaborar com o campo da saúde do trabalhador e da trabalhadora do serviço público de instituições federais, a presente tese se propõe a apresentar discussões no que tange a ocorrência dos transtornos mentais comuns relacionados aos estressores ocupacionais. Essa pesquisa integra o Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil). Trata-se de um estudo transversal, incluindo 15.105 participantes entrevistados/as na linha de base, com idade variando entre 35 e 74 anos. Foram contempladas nas análises características sociodemográficas, comportamentos de saúde, uso de medicamentos, domínios do trabalho. Os transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) foram mensurados pelo Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS-R) e os estressores ocupacionais pela escala sueca do Questionário Demanda-ControleApoio Social (DCSQ). Como resultados da tese, foram elaborados três artigos: (1) Geração de nascimento, gênero e transtornos mentais comuns em servidores públicos participantes do
ELSA-Brasil; (2) Estresse ocupacional e transtornos mentais comuns: diferenças geracionais e de gênero na coorte ELSA-Brasil; (3) Diferenças geracionais e de gênero na gravidade dos transtornos mentais comuns na coorte ELSA-Brasil: a influência do estresse ocupacional. No Artigo 01 foi estimadaa prevalência dos TMC e descrição de acordo com raça/cor da pele, escolaridade, situação conjugal, consumo de álcool, tabagismo, uso de antidepressivos e benzodiazepínicos. A data de nascimento caracterizou geração de nascimento. Mais de 60% da coorte pertence a geração Baby Boomers.A prevalência de TMC foi de 26,7% (mulheres=33,8% e homens=18,4%). A maior prevalência ocorreu entre os participantes da Geração X (30,4%). Os TMC foram mais prevalentes entre as mulheres, comparado aos homens em todas as gerações. No Artigo 02, foram elegíveis 12.015 participantes ativos,
excluindo-se os trabalhadores aposentados.Entre participantes ativos do estudo, 26,8% apresentaram TMC. No entanto, a prevalência entre as mulheres chegou a 35,9% diante de 19,3% dos homens (RP=1,86; IC95% [1,75-1,98]). Analisando a associação entre os estressores ocupacionais e os TMC após o ajuste do modelo, a associação positiva e estatisticamente significante entre o estresse ocupacional e os TMC se manteve apenas entre mulheres da Geração Baby Boomer que possuíam trabalho ativo (RP=1,32; IC95% [1,13-1,54]) e trabalho de alta exigência (RP=1,41; IC95% [1,14-1,73]) e entre as mulheres da Geração X que exerciam trabalho ativo (RP=1,39; IC95% [1,09-1,78]). No Artigo 03, foi
avaliada em que medida o estresse ocupacional modificava a gravidade dos TMC de acordo com o gênero e geração de nascimento entre os participantes ativos. As mulheres apresentaram 2,4 vezes mais TMC graves e 1,5 vezes mais TMC leves a moderados que os homens. A presença de interação entre escolaridade, estresse ocupacional e gravidade dos TMC foi observada em mulheres da Geração Baby Boomers. Mulheres com ensino médio completo submetidas a trabalhos ativos (combinado por altas demandas e alto controle) quando comparados à trabalho de baixa exigência (baixa demanda e alto controle) tem 53% mais ocorrência de TMC leves a moderados (RP=1,53; IC95% [1,09-2,15]) e 42% mais TMC graves. A partir dessas descobertas, esperamos contribuir com conhecimentos para a saúde
coletiva, na perspectiva de gerações de nascimento e gênero, sugerindo novos estudos para avaliar o papel de políticas públicas na prevenção dos transtornos mentais comuns. Ressaltase que são salutares novas investigações baseados em coortes geracionais com a finalidade de analisar o impacto dessas demandas do trabalho e das tarefas domésticas no adoecimento desses/as trabalhadores/as, buscando alternativas para a redução das demandas vigentes nas universidades, além de fomentar melhorias para minimizar as desigualdades de gênero
