Harry Potter: purebloods and racial segregation
No full textThe artistic productions, in this case the literary, are the result of the relationship between the
artist/author with his time and therefore can reveal aspects of society in which it is
inserted, culture, social organization and forms of coexistence, even if in a work
permeated with an imaginative character. In this work we will approach the relationship between the books of the
Harry Potter series, by J.K. Howling, with a remarkable fact of History, the German Nazism.
For that, we will start from authors such as Antônio Cândido (2010), who discusses the relation between
literature and society; Isabelle Cani (2008), who presents analyses between the series and Nazism;
Ian Kershaw (2010), who discusses the life of Adolf Hitler. Methodologically, this is a
bibliographical research with production of argumentative text that starts from the characters to the
categories of social division existing in the series. With that presents reflective approach on
racial prejudice from a literature not considered canonical and that passes for looks
depreciative looks in the academy.

Atentos às revoluções nos conceitos de produção e recepção literárias na era digital e trabalhando teóricos como Henry Jenkins, Néstor García Canclini, Stanley Fish, Suman Gupta, dentre outros, o presente artigo traça um caminho teórico da recepção literária, desde a leitura fechada (close reading) dos New Critics americanos até o cenário atual, no qual a internet, sobretudo as redes sociais, possibilitam a formação de diversas comunidades interpretativas (termo cunhado por Fish em 1980) no mundo virtual: uma delas, em especial, neste trabalho, a comunidade global de leitores e fãs de Harry Potter.

No full textDiscusses imprisonment in the stockade of 12 incarcerees and tension concerning the Japanese Language Schools and the schools in the camps, detailing what it terms "terrorist tactics" on the part of the Japanese Language School's proponents and concluding that the Project Director is justified in using the stockade for disciplinary purposes. The document also includes the directive, Administration of Japanese Language Schools at Tule Lake incarceration camp (March 30, 1944 by R. R. Best, Project Director), which outlines policy regarding the camp and Japanese Language Schools; a memo regarding this directive "prepared as a public announcement by Mr. Harkness, Superintendent of Schools... (May 18, 1944);" and a memo from Kenneth M. Harkness, Superintendent of Schools, to Harry L. Black, Chief, Community Management (May 21, 1944) concerning these memoranda. Also included is an envelope from the Federal Communications Commission to Willard E. Schmidt marked Personal and Confidential.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan

Moda Fluida e Harry Styles: expressão e transgressão na moda
No full textThis final project aims to present a fashion brand called Volare, created by the author, whose intention is to enter the fluid fashion niche. It also involves the development of a capsule collection with 12 looks inspired by the binary style of British singer Harry Styles, mainly in his distinct stage costumes. Based on bibliographic studies by authors such as Diana Crane (2006), Lipovetsky (2009), Reed, and Young (2022), among others, the binary notion of wearables and some approximations and divergences of genders over the centuries were identified.

The margin and the mainstream : positioning Harry Partch's theories within the broader discourse of musical aesthetics
No full textBibliography: leaves 102-106.The dissertation examines the broader musical value of microtonal composer Harry Partch's musical theories by locating his critique of abstract music within mainstream compositional theory and aesthetics. This contextualisation aims to deconstruct Partch's iconoclastic image so as to understand his contribution within a wider realm of critical discourse. The work of composers that follow in Partch's footsteps becomes important in this context, especially that of his one-time student Ben Johnston whose own microtonal aesthetic is firmly rooted in European aesthetics from Debussy to Schoenberg. By a study of Johnston's utilisation of Partch's theory of just intonation the dissertation attempts to arrive at a more inclusive compositional theory, one which continues to address those aspects of Partch's theories that serve as a valid and constructive critique of traditional musical values. Taking Adorno's view that musical critique must deal with the problem of reification at the level of musical materials, the author proposes a reading of Partch's corporeal philosophy that is applicable beyond the confines of narrative musical drama. By creating a distinction between historical models of organisation and 'second nature' forms of musical presentation, it is suggested that critique does not necessarily prefigure alienation from the mainstream, but can rather be situated within musical discourse in such a way that a new image of the latter's forms results. On a practical level, the dissertation explores the validity of expanded just intonation as a means of achieving this immanent critique, both in the realm of compositional theory and, implicitly, in that of analytical theory, concluding with the description of a tuning system with the capacity to synthesise the range of compositional theories explored
Learning Educational Values from Harry Potter Character
No full textImplementing a good character education from an early age will form a qualified personality for children. Societies use novels in embedding the value of character education. This research aimed to analyze the characterization of Harry Potter in a novel entitled “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”.

This research was conducted in descriptive qualitative research design. The data collection technique used were close reading and note taking. The obtained information were analyzed through textual analysis. Data triangulation, theory triangulation, and investigator triangulation were used to check the trustworthiness of the data. The findings showed that Harry Potter had 20 characterizations and 11 values of character education which were portrayed through the action, speech, and direct description by the author in the story. Relating to the context of Indonesian’s character building used as a research foundation, some identified characterizations have occupied the five cores values mentioned. The religious and mutual cooperation values were more emphasized in the whole story. Implication related to the use of this finding as a future learning-material was provide
Selling stories : Harry Potter and the marketing plot
No full textMost families in the Western world are aware of Harry Potter, the stupendously successful stories about a boy wizard “who lived.” Most families are familiar with the shadow tales attached to Harry Potter—the tales of the rags to riches author, the mega‐blockbuster movies, the forthcoming theme park in Florida, the long lines of enthusiastic consumers outside book stores at midnight. Harry Potter, in short, is a Niagara of narratives, a sea of stories. This paper plots the Harry Potter stories onto Booker's seven‐element theory of narrative emplotment and considers how consumers interact with the Harry Potter brand phenomenon. Three consumer narratives of engagement are evident—discovery, diachronic, and denial—as is the disagreement between battling plots
