Mythologies d' Europe : l'élaboration de la pensée européenne de Stefan Zweig à travers ses biographies historiques
No full textThis dissertation examines Stefan Zweig's European thought in the period from 1933 to 1936, focussing on the biographies of Erasmus of Rotterdam, Mary Stuart and The Right of Heresy published in this period. The European thought of the Austrian author is considered in its dynamics in direct connection with the political events in Europe during the period. It is expressed not only in the author's speeches and public interventions, but also in the three books studied. The first part of this dissertation is devoted to defining Zweig's biographical method: the density of his biographical text and the intermediality in these books are highlighted. The rest of the work characterizes the literary specificity of each of the works and its significance for the development of the author's European thought: through a systematic contextualization, each work is thus confronted with contemporary discourses on Europe. The aporias and contradictions found in the works highlight a thought that is in the process of forming and seeking an adequate formulation. Finally, this dissertation explores the sources that nourished Stefan Zweig's European thought. His active reception of thinkers from the critique of civilization and the comparative literary history of Georg Brandes leads to the interpretation of the biographies of the early 1930s as a pedagogical project of European cultural history that aims to educate the masses in the European idealCette thèse étudie la pensée européenne de Stefan Zweig durant la période allant de 1933 à 1936 en s’appuyant sur les biographies d’Érasme de Rotterdam, de Marie Stuart et Castellion contre Calvin publiées dans cet intervalle. La pensée européenne de l’auteur autrichien y est considérée comme s’élaborant en lien direct avec les événements politiques en Europe durant la période et s’exprime non seulement dans les discours et interventions publiques de l’auteur, mais aussi dans les trois oeuvres étudiées. Un premier temps de cette thèse est consacré à définir la méthode biographique mise en oeuvre par Zweig : la densité du texte biographique zweigien et l’intermédialité au coeur de ces oeuvres sont mises en avant. La suite du travail caractérise la spécificité littéraire de chacune des oeuvres et sa signification pour l’élaboration de la pensée européenne de l’auteur : par un effort systématique de contextualisation, chaque oeuvre est ainsi confrontée aux discours contemporains sur l’Europe. Les apories et contradictions relevées dans les oeuvres mettent en lumière une pensée en train de se former et de chercher une formulation adéquate. Pour finir, cette thèse explore les sources ayant nourri la pensée européenne de Stefan Zweig. Sa réception active de penseurs de la critique de la civilisation et de l’histoire littéraire comparée de Georg Brandes incite à lire les biographies du début des années 1930 comme un projet pédagogique d’histoire culturelle de l’Europe qui vise à inculquer aux masses l’idéal europée

Espiritualidade política: a partir de Foucault e de Spinoza
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em FilosofiaO propósito desta tese é a constituição de uma ideia de "espiritua-lidade política". Esta expressão foi utilizada por Michel Foucault em apenas duas ocasiões: no contexto de uma série de reportagens sobre o acontecimento da Insurreição Iraniana de 1978-1979; e, posteriormente, de maneira sumária, para definir um tipo de relação entre vontade, verdade e governo de si e dos outros. Devido a este escasso uso, foi preciso explorar diferentes pistas. O resultado desta exploração perfaz a primeira parte de nosso estudo, em que a nossa expressão titular é referida a outras noções em Foucault, como a "atitude crítica" e o "nexus verdade-poder-sujeito". Como pontos de apoio, são explorados o momento insurrecional iraniano e o pensamento político de Khomeini e de Shari'ati. A radicalização dos termos envolvidos na definição foucaultiana de "espiritualidade política" nos deixa às portas de uma ontologia, que, para Foucault, entretanto, só se analisa como ficção. Munidos com a ideia de ficção, então, abordamos, na segunda parte deste estudo, alguns elementos da filosofia de Spinoza. A ontologia de Spinoza pertence a seu projeto ético-político de constituição erótica do verdadeiro, pelo conhecimento da união da mente com a natureza toda. União que se dá, como numa dobra pela qual e na qual se conectam a causalidade externa e a interna, na relação indissociável entre o nexus de causas e o conatus, segundo os três aspectos do real - o atributo, o modo infinito imediato e o mediado - que correspondem, no modo finito singular, à sua intensão, à sua forma e à sua extensão. A teoria do indivíduo, aplicada aos corpos políticos, apresenta as formas dos impérios como singularidades. Se, por um lado, as partes componentes do corpo político estabelecem umas com as outras relações sempre também passionais, por outro, são as ações livres de todas as suas partes juntas que explicam o processo de individuação de uma nova forma de império. É esse processo de individuação de uma potência não capturada e livre que nos permite conceber a ideia de "espiritualidade política" a partir de Spinoza.The purpose of this thesis is to construe an idea of "political spirituality." Michel Foucault used this expression in only two occasions: in the context of a series of reports based on the event of the Iranian Insurrection in 1978-1979; and, afterwards, as a brief way of defining a type of relationship between will, truth, and government of self and others. Due to this rare usage, it was necessary to explore different hints. The results of this exploration form the first part of this work, in which our title expression refers to other foucauldian notions such as "critical attitude" and "truth-power-subject nexus." The Iranian insurrectional moment and Khomeini's and Shari'ati's political thoughts are also explored. The investigation of the terms involved in the foucauldian definition of "political spirituality" leads us to an ontology, which for Foucault can only be analyzed as fiction. With the idea of fiction, then, in the second part of this work, we approach some elements of the philosophy of Spinoza. Spinoza's ontology pertains to his ethical-political project of an erotic constitution of the truthful, by means of knowledge of the union of mind and nature as a whole, given in the inseparable relation between the causal nexus and the conatus, as in and by a fold that connects the external and internal causality, according to the three aspects of reality - the attribute, the infinite immediate mode and the mediate - which correspond respectively, in the singular finite mode, to his intension, form and extension. The theory of the individual, applied to political bodies, presents the forms of empires as singularities. If, on one side, the components of a political body establish relations with each other that are also always passionate, on the other, there are free actions bestowed to all of his parts as a whole that explain the individuation process of a new form of empire. It is this individuation process of a non-captured free power (potentia) that allows us to conceive the idea of "political spirituality" out of Spinoza
Project sponsor competence in the UK public sector: A systematic review
Full text linkMasters by ResearchThis thesis reviews the literature on project sponsorship, competence and accountability in the public sector. It adopts a systematic review methodology, which aims to find, evaluate, analyse and synthesize literature on a transparent, replicable basis. Based on a set of keywords derived from a scoping study and practitioner inputs, a series of keyword searches were conducted on a number of databases. The literature found was evaluated for relevance and rigour against a set of specified source, content and quality criteria. I developed new content criteria in response to new uses of keywords in the literature. I also used the reference lists in the material that passed all the criteria to find further literature, which I also reviewed for rigour and relevance against the source, content and quality criteria. Systematic review is therefore a deductive process, which changed my understanding of the research subject form a general one to a more specific one. I found project sponsorship to be a common role in many areas where project management is used. My synthesis of the literature suggested that the role is a powerful, risk-taking one, requiring leadership and ownership. Competence is a divided , ambiguous concept, with current approaches limited by virtue of their rational, dualistic ontology. Accountability is fundamental to any understanding the role of the project sponsor in the public sector, but is a difficult, changing concept, capable of being viewed from either a process or an organizational perspective. I found significant research gaps in the project sponsorship literature. It has been the subject of little direct research. Whilst there is some understanding of the role in relation to the project, the wider aspects of the role and what may constitute competence in the the role are fertile areas for further research
