    Art and the artist in the literary works of Elsa Triolet

    No full text
    This 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

    reservedIn 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

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

    Artykuł 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)

    No full text
    Com esta dissertação pretende-se desenvolver uma proposta para um projecto (EcoBike Trail Serra da Estrela) destinado à prática de turismo na natureza, especificamente para a BTT, na região da Serra da Estrela. Por se tratar de um território com elevada potencialidade para este tipo de turismo, pretende-se estudar a possibilidade do turismo alternativo ajudar a dinamizar a actividade turística da região, contribuindo para a redução da sazonalidade na mesma. Esta é uma forma significativa de ajudar a potenciar o crescimento do turismo na região da Serra da Estrela por se ampliar e diversificar a oferta de produtos turísticos especialmente na componente de produtos de turismo na natureza. Com este trabalho pretende-se dar a conhecer uma nova dimensão da região através da possibilidade de se realizar um itinerário em BTT (mas também com potencialidades para outro tipo de actividades na natureza) passando por zonas habitadas e paisagens de montanha, aproveitando ao mesmo tempo as infra-estruturas turísticas, trilhos e caminhos já existentes. Este trabalho assenta nas várias potencialidades da região e está direccionado para o turismo alternativo. Pelo facto de pretender integrar várias entidades de forma sustentada, representa certamente uma mais valia para o futuro deste destino turístico.This dissertation is about developing a proposal for a project (EcoBike Trail Serra da Estrela), for the practice of nature tourism, specifically for mountain biking in Serra da Estrela region. Since this is a highly potential area for this type of tourism, we intend to study the possibility of alternative tourism thus boosting tourist activity in the region, contributing to reduce seasonality in it. This is a meaningful way to give strength for the growing of tourism in the Serra da Estrela region, expanding and diversifying the offer of tourism products, specifically nature tourism products. This work intends to reveal a new dimension in the region through the possibility of holding a mountain bike route (as well as other potential activities in nature) through populated areas and mountain landscapes, while simultaneously using the existent tourist infrastructures, i.e. trails and paths. The basis of the proposal lies on the varied potential of the region and is focused on alternative tourism. Because the idea is to integrate several entities in a sustained manner, it is certainly an asset for the future of this tourist destination

E mais ainda, recontextualiza o discurso pedagógico de acordo com as práticas. Ao término do estudo, constatou-se que a investigação proporcionou uma contribuição para sugerir uma política de formação inicial e continuada dos professores, estabelecendo como base um aprofundamento no que se refere às indagações sobre currículo e os processos de recontextualizacão do discurso pedagógico na escola na perspectiva de desenvolvimento humano.The investigation developed in this dissertation had as main concerns to investigate the conceptions of teachers about curriculum in a public elementary school, in Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte – Brazil, having as basis the study of the document “Inquiries on Curriculum”, specifically the Curriculum and Human Development Axis, as mobilizing for the conceptions of teachers on curriculum in the reorganization of Curriculum Proposal, as well as the studies of the English sociologist, Basil Bernstein, basing the process of recontextualization of the pedagogical discourse. Such research was characterized as exploratory with a qualitative approach in the data analysis, and besides being qualitative, this is also a bibliographical and field research, for it had the participation of three educators of the school we talk previously, who were interviewed. Before the presented curriculum conception, it was considered that the proposed objective has been achieved, observing that the school investigated was one of the few which studied the document of the Ministry of Education, according to a previous study made by the author in the public schools in Natal, and that systematizes the curriculum proposal in the political pedagogical project. And even more, it recontextualizes the pedagogical discourse in accordance with the practices. At the end of the study, it was found that the research provided a contribution to suggest a policy of initial and continuing training teachers, setting as base a deepen in the inquiries about curriculum and recontextualization processes of pedagogical discourse in school under human development perspective

    Orientação: Elsa Maria Bacala EstrelaA presente dissertação, de natureza exploratória, procura responder à questão de como pode um método por projeto em Educação Visual contribuir para o desenvolvimento das competências enunciadas no Perfil Dos Alunos À Saída Da Escolaridade Obrigatória. Realizou-se o estudo segundo a metodologia de investigação-ação, durante uma Unidade de Trabalho de médio prazo (segundo e terceiro período). Com base no estudo da literatura sobre metodologia e ensino das artes e as dificuldades da formação para a cidadania, considerou-se importante desenvolver com os alunos um trabalho de projeto, de modo a desenvolver as competências sociais e humanas, de acordo com os conteúdos programáticos da disciplina de Educação Visual por forma a desenvolver a sua criatividade, autonomia e reflexão em cooperação com o outro. Entendemos que, na atualidade, é muito importante que o ensino das artes contribua mais significativamente na formação dos jovens nas dimensões intelectual, humana e promoção da sua participação ativa na resolução de problemas. O método aplicado procura desenvolver aquelas dimensões e proporcionar um pensar a arte e os seus processos de criação. Consideramos que o estudo permitiu identificar benefícios no processo de trabalho nos resultados alcançados, bem como compreender os contextos do seu desenvolvimento.The present dissertation, of an exploratory nature, seeks to answer the question of how can a method in Visual Education contribute to the development of the skills set out in the Perfil Dos Alunos À Saída Da Escolaridade Obrigatória. The study was carried out according to the action-research methodology, during a medium-term Work Unit. Based on the study of the literature on methodology and teaching of the arts and the difficulties of training for citizenship, it was considered important to develop a group project work with students, in order to develop social and human competences, according to syllabus of Visual Education in order to develop their creativity, autonomy and reflection in cooperation with others. We understand that nowadays it is very important that the teaching of the arts contributes more significantly to the training of young people in the intellectual, human and promotion of their active participation in problem solving. The applied method seeks to develop those dimensions and provide a way of thinking about art and its creative processes. We believe that the study allowed to identify benefits in the work process in the results achieved, as well as to understand the contexts of its development

O conhecimento e a aprendizagem podem moldar o futuro da humanidade e do planeta. Reconhecendo a importância da educação artística neste contexto, o presente estudo de caracter exploratório e qualitativo, tem a intenção de analisar e compreender de que forma o ensino das artes visuais pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de uma consciência sustentável e atitude ambiental nos alunos, contribuindo ativamente na construção do perfil do aluno. Através da investigação participativa, desenvolveu-se no âmbito do exercício da prática de ensino supervisionado, um projeto com uma turma de 12º ano de Desenho A. Recorrendo a técnicas e atividades, que conciliaram harmoniosamente a aprendizagem e a natureza, preservando a liberdade criativa e a plasticidade artística. Procedeu-se ao estudo do tema aplicando o método de investigação-ação, evidenciando os pontos de convergência entre a educação artística (artes visuais), a educação ambiental, a sustentabilidade e a ecopedagogia. Os resultados obtidos validam a importância da introdução de abordagens e praticas mais sustentáveis e ecológicas, nas disciplinas de artes visuais, como veículo de consciencialização para o desenvolvimento sustentável e mudança de atitudes nos alunos. Nomeadamente ao nível cognitivo, comportamental, social e emocional.For the development of a true sustainable consciousness, it is necessary that education promotes the global development of the human being in all its multiple dimensions (cognitive, affective, intuitive, sensory, ethical and aesthetic). Knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet. Acknowledging the importance of art education in this context, this exploratory and qualitative study aims to examin and understand how the teaching of visual arts can contribute to the development of a sustainable awareness and environmental attitude in students, actively contributing to the development of the student's profile. Through participatory research, a project was developed within the scope of the supervised teaching practice, with a class of 12th grade. Using techniques and activities that harmoniously combine learning and nature, preserving creative freedom and artistic plasticity was achieved. The scope was developed by applying the action-research method, highlighting the points of convergence between artistic education (visual arts), environmental education, sustainability and ecopedagogy. The results obtained validate the importance of introducing more sustainable and ecological approaches and practices, in visual arts subjects, as a vehicle to raise awareness for sustainable development and change attitudes in students.
