A Cor e a forma: história e literatura na obra do jovem Cruz e Sousa (1861-1888)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em HistóriaEsta dissertação analisa a trajetória de João da Cruz e Sousa (Desterro, 1861 - Rio de Janeiro, 1898) privilegiando o estudo dos seus textos de juventude e, em especial, a sua produção abolicionista. A sua estrutura está organizada em três partes: no capítulo 1, trata das origens familiares e dos primeiros contatos de Cruz e Sousa com a cultura dominante no seu tempo; no capítulo 2, aborda os anos de formação político-intelectual do escritor; por último, no capítulo 3, reconstrói a militância abolicionista de Cruz e Sousa em Desterro e reflete sobre as relações entre produção intelectual e engajamento político na experiência de escritores negros no Brasil do final do século XIX
O trágico na poética de Cruz e Sousa
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.Este trabalho elabora uma leitura que destaca uma emergência trágica nos textos poéticos de João da Cruz e Sousa (1861?1898). Na linhagem de Nestor Vítor, a crítica do poeta utiliza reiteradamente o significante "tragédia" - na acepção do senso comum -, normalmente adjetivando sua vida. Deixando ressoar esse vocábulo e apoiando-se nas imagens que os poemas evocam, esta pesquisa opera um deslocamento de sentido no significante "trágico" e o utiliza enquanto gênero que adjetiva, não mais a vida, mas os textos de Cruz e Sousa. Para tanto, optou-se por realizar uma comparação capaz de colocar em confronto temporalidades distintas; um contraponto com as estéticas surrealista, romântica e barroca. Foram percebidos contatos relevantes com os textos cruzesousianos tanto na imagem do Ângelus, de Millet, e na leitura surrealista que Salvador Dalí fez da obra, quanto no uso reiterado do mito cristão e sua aparição em outras modalidades artísticas ? como na ópera de Parsifal, ou ainda, no drama trágico alemão e no estudo que fez dele Walter Benjamin. A afinidade reside na tônica dada ao sacrifício, à morte, ao rito religioso. E, a partir daí, se desenha uma hipótese de leitura que faz dessa emergência trágica um modo de conceber a história. Precisamente essa forma de pensar é que caracteriza o decadentismo do fim do século XIX como um momento no qual se privilegiou a reencenação do rito, adotando uma postura crítica ao mito
Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
The Interpretation of Sousa
No full textThis article creates a recording anthology from four of John P. Sousa\u27s finest marches and includes The Washington Post, The Fairest of the Fair, Hands Across the Sea, and The Thunder. The titles were chosen because of their popularity as being the most recorded marches, and that they all have a common thread between them. Together, they create a unique collage of themes that when put together take on a new life. The author shows how all four compositions were assembled into a symphony titled Symphony on the Themes of Sousa written by Hollywood composer Ira Hearshen. Frederick Fennell recorded all of the works with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Ensemble of Japan October 18-19, 1995. A short list of other titles and recordings are also presented. They reflect the variety of ideas and interpretations on how a composer, conductor or ensemble can perform a single piece of music
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

No full textPostcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904
