Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem
Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism
Fresh fruit and vegetables: a world of multiple interactions : the case of the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM)
No full textThis research explores ethnographically the everyday social interactions between the ‘users’ of a particular marketplace, the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM). The ‘users’ of this marketplace are the social actors who work there everyday, and who bring and buy fresh produce. These ´users´ are the ´makers´ of the BACWM since, through their everyday practices, interactions and interpretations and knowledge, they socially construct this hub of distribution

Marketing management capabilities of SMEs: an empirical analysis in the EU
No full textSMEs, that represent the greater part of European food firms producing traditional food products (TFPs), meet difficulties in adapting their strategies to market changes, and in competing with big enterprises. Marketing management capabilities play a key role in good SMEs performance in the market. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the marketing capabilities of SMEs that produce TFPs. The theoretical framework considers the Market Orientation approach and marketing management capabilities in terms of marketing research, marketing strategy, planning and implementation, control and evaluation. A self evaluation tool was developed by means of an interactive questionnaire, available on the web, aimed at assessing traditional food firms competitive position in the marketing area. The sample consists of 112 Italian firms. Descriptive analysis shows that the most problematic dimensions of the marketing management are planning and implementation and control and evaluation. Moreover, the firms’ size is not a relevant feature to determine the marketing capabilities, whereas quality voluntary certifications have a direct linkage with marketing capabilities, as the more a firm is certified the more t improves its marketing performance. Linear Regression model confirms these results.Marketing capabilities, SMEs, traditional food, linear regression, Agribusiness, Marketing,
An exploratory study of the experience of motherhood among maternally bereaved women
No full textThis study qualitatively explores the experience of motherhood among maternally bereaved women. Using a semi-structured interview guide developed by the researcher, ten women who suffered the death of their mothers in childhood or adolescence were
interviewed in person about their maternal loss, their experience of being a mother to one or more children, and the relationship between these two key life events. Participants ranged in age from 31-67, and the ages at which they lost their mother ranged from 5-21. Data was first compiled into brief individual narratives in order to capture the phenomenology of loss and motherhood for each participant. The data was next analyzed using principles of grounded theory to determine common themes among participants. Eleven major and four minor themes were identified, which were then consolidated into four meta-themes: 1) The enduring legacy of maternal loss (lasting impact, early
independence/parentification, feelings of insecurity/instability, feeling unsupported); 2)
History repeating itself – fear of further loss; 3) Making meaning and staying connected; and 4) An opportunity for healing and growth (completing the narrative and repairing disruption, daughters and mothers coming “full circle”, anniversaries as triggers for grieving, standing in her mother’s shoes). Integration into current literature, and clinical and research recommendations are provided.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical referencesby Laura J. Lokke

Teacher Training and Social Media: Using a Multi-Author Blog for Lifelong Learning
No full textThe chapter deals with the implementation of a multi-author blog which was launched during the postlauream
course Online Tutor, promoted by the University of Macerata (Italy), and which aims to train
teachers (both pre-service and in-service teachers at different school levels), to acquire the necessary
skills to manage tutoring tasks for online courses. The description of the development of the blog from a
course related tool to a lifelong community environment, aims to highlight the possibilities of the social
online environment for fostering teachers’ reflections related to an online university training course and
to provide an action strategy to create a participatory space for their lifelong learning. The key aspects
of the project were the roles played by the blog in conveying and socializing the students’ personal
experiences during the online learning process and the awareness that developed of the potential for
a community blog to become a constantly-updatable educational space which can be used beyond the
boundaries of the specific course it was designed for
The Disordered Spirit: A Portrait of Francisco Amighetti as Seen by Laura Goldstein
No full text“The Disordered Spirit: Francisco Amighetti as seen by Laura Goldstein” addresses the paradox
of the fragment and the whole inherent in the ideas of “essence” or “truth” through the work of
Costa Rican artist and poet Francisco Amighetti, and offers some alternative perspectives to the
anxiety of loss in literary translation. This investigation emphasizes the overuse of discussions on
loss in translation and argues for the value of the fragment, particularly in Amighetti’s work,
which falls in the Modernist period when poets and artists turned to the fragment through style,
technique, and a confrontation with the past, but also more broadly to argue that the fragment has
value through the choices of creative processes, language, and expression, the multiplicity of
subjective experiences, order and disorder, and through the nature of memory and our universe.
The dissertation also analyzes the creative work of Romanian-Brazilian writer Ștefan Baciu, who
wrote poems responding to fragments of Amighetti’s poems, letters, and prose, and finally
includes creative work by the author of the dissertation in the form of original poetry, poetry in
translation, visual art (prints) and memoir, proposing that a translator can reveal the multiplicity
of subjective experiences through the inclusion of their original creative work, especially when
the translated poet is excluded from the canon as Francisco Amighetti and other Costa Rican
poets have been
