Miradas Al Sur: a criação mitológica do bairro sur na obra de Jorge Luis Borges
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014Este estudo investiga como Jorge Luis Borges constrói o Sur como espaço mítico, em seus três primeiros livros de poesia. Para tanto, analisou-se de que forma a representação de tal espaço torna-o simbólico e, posteriormente, mítico, tanto no conjunto da obra do autor, como também, a partir desse movimento individual de Borges, no imaginário coletivo da cidade. Estudou-se ainda como a memória própria e o imaginário criaram espaços afetivos, que permeiam a totalidade dos textos do autor.Abstract: This study investigates how Jorge Luis Borges builds Sur neighborhood as mythic space in his first three books of poetry. To this end, we analyzed how the representation of such a space make of it a symbolic and later a mythical space, both in the overall work of the author, but also that individual movement of Borges that achieve the collective imagination of the city. Still we have studied how the personal memory and the imagery is able to create emotional spaces, which constitute the totality of texts by the author
Brand Borges: A Computer-Assisted Analysis of the Works of Jorge Luis Borges (1923-1955)
No full textThere is a particular idea about the Argentine author, Jorge Luis Borges, that has proliferated over time and has continued to maintain popularity in both the scholarly literature and in popular culture until the present. The general sentiment of this idea—referred to as “Brand Borges” in this dissertation—presumes that Borges is disconnected from Argentina and from reality in general. He is deemed to be more concerned with that which is not real, and when he does engage with the real world, he is thought to be more focused on international affairs rather than the events and traditions of his own country.
This study uses a variety of digital tools, such as methods of computer-assisted text analysis and those developed in geographic information systems, to analyze the first thirteen major works of Borges and challenge the idea of Brand Borges. By interpreting the results of digital analyses of Borges’s oeuvre, and assessing the people, places, and other elements explicitly mentioned, it is argued that he in fact does appear to be connected to both reality and Argentina.
For that which is implicit in Borges’s work, this dissertation then uses traditional methods of literary interpretation to examine a selection of texts and reveal that even when a story is set in a foreign land with international characters, it is often described in such a way as to relate the events, setting, or characters back to Argentina and reality
Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole

Public Support for the Financing of RD&D Activities in New Clean Energy Technologies
No full textSeveral market failures, as well as other technical, economic and regulatory barriers to the market penetration of clean energy technologies result in under-investment of private innovators in RD&D. Therefore, public support is needed in order to induce innovations. Policy tools creating market conditions that are attractive for the exploitation of clean technologies (market pull) must be combined with other tools directly supporting the development of these technologies through the provision of public funds (technology push). Thereby, financing policy instruments should be chosen so that their characteristics match with those of the specific innovation process being targeted at the same time that social welfare is maximized. We develop an analytical framework to define the form of public support and to provide recommendations on the optimal choice of both technology push and market pull instruments.clean energy technologies; innovation finance; public support; technology push; market pull

Escribirse en México: estudio sobre la escritura de refugiado y el caso de Luis Cardoza y Aragón
No full textThis is a study about refugee creation. It is concerned with those bonds an exiled author establishes with the nation where he seeks refuge. It is in debt to Homi Bhabha’s theory of nation as narration, one trying to educate its readers or one making them perform the nation along the narrative enunciation. Beyond conforming community, nation narratives legitimize exclusion, separating citizens from mere inhabitants. Refugees, such as Carlos Mérida, Olga Costa, Helen Fowler or Luis Cardoza, resisted the exclusion by intervening, challenging or recreating such discourses. This work analyzes refugee art and literature in an environment where nationalist positions were radically expressed within the state apparatuses, as was the case in Mexico following the Revolution, when policies regarding immigration were radically restrictive. The dissertation focusses in Luis Cardoza y Aragón’s essays —La nube y el reloj (1940) and Apolo y Coatlicue (1944)— and poetry —Pequeña sinfonía del Nuevo Mundo (1948)— as refugee creation. On the one hand, it elucidates the match between local and universal as the foundation for Cardoza’s vanguardist attempt to decenter Western expression and to invest Latin America, after arielismo modernista, as the heir of European culture. On the other, it unveils how Cardoza corrodes symbolic borders in order to insert refugees like himself in Mexican time and space as citizens of merit, and to open the nation as an internation about to face imperialism. Cardoza exceeds national codification, displaces discourse through the ineffable of poetry, returns us to the materiality of signification and, in doing so, gives us the possibility to reformulate the nation’s terms

Ecomediação familiar: espaço singular de provocação do nascimento de cidadania sustentada
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.A presente pesquisa estuda a mediação ecológica idealizada por Luis Alberto Warat, concebida como forma alternativa (com o outro) de resolução de conflitos por meio da qual o Direito pode legar, àqueles que o convoquem, não uma decisão, mas uma via para a conquista de qualidade de vida. Assim, aponta-se essa mediação como forma significativa de inserir o jurídico no compasso ecológico, e perspectiva que empresta condições de o Direito passar a resolver conflitos, fazendo-se instância preventiva dos mesmos. Finalmente, o texto arregimenta argumentos para sustentar que dentre as inscrições que a mediação ecológica pode realizar, a relativa ao trabalho dos afetos familiares tem uma condição singular de promover resultados interessantes, porque lugar privilegiado do encontro de caminhos que levam à autonomia e, com isso, à cidadania sustentada
