Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an attempt at an analysis of Andrzej Wajda's political films, Man of Marble, Man of Iron and Danton in a broad cultural and historical context. The manuscript is divided into five chapters. The first chapter, "The Political Film of Andrzej Wajda--Issues of Methodology", presents a theoretical basis for the discussion of political film. Bakhtin's dialogism complemented by linguistic pragmatics provides the methodology used in the thesis to illustrate the dialogical process of meaning formation in political films of Andrzej Wajda. Chapter two discusses Wajda as the carrier of the political message, while chapters three, four and five, respectively, contain the historical, the dramatis personae and the aesthetic discourses in the films under study.

Jennings, Maude M. J. "Studies in the poetry : the prosody and the poetic theory of Gerard Manley Hopkins." Virtual Press, 1986. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/473721.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation studies the prosody, poetic theory, theme, and affective nature found in the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. The prosody, striking in his time, is still controversial; the theory employs the rhetorical principle of parallelism extensively, and the theme (which is the reason for the affective nature of his work) deals always with Christ: Christ in nature and Christ in man.The study lays emphasis on Hopkins' religious vision. These insights pervade all his work and are prime factors in his poetry. The vision gained from his religion appears throughout all his work.Although recent critics have suggested that the material of his great ode, "The Wreck of the Deutschland" was "recalcitrant" and that his symmetry was "laboured," explication of the poem reveals his early intense voice, sprung rhythm, and his use of the techniques of cynghanedd and dysfalu. His prosody reveals his sense of parallel structure (noted in his art work and in his journals as symmetry) which increased with "number and distinctiveness" with the rise of passion.His "dark night," noted in the sonnets written during 1884-85, have caused some readers to suspect a crisis of faith occurring. Hopkins experienced trauma, but the prolonged depression suggested by the present numbering of the sonnets is inconsistent with his unquestioned faith. The night becomes less dark if chronology is followed.Hopkins' deepest message was delivered in his poetry and throughout his life. As a Catholic priest, teacher, and poet, he sought Christ. Common knowledge informs us that emotional and physical hardships follow such seekers. Teilhard de Chardin's philosophy as ennobling is certainly applicable to any study of Hopkins' life and works. This philosophy provides supplementary confirmation of the poet. Hopkins' achievements surpass the prescriptive condemners of his art.

Full textAbstract:
This master's thesis seeks to establish a comparison between the lyrical work of the Austrian Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973) and the Argentinean Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972). First, we draw from the similarities in the lives of both authors. Then, the survey of secondary literature shows that the two writers were the «black sheep» of their literary generation. Finally, our analysis focuses on the last phase of their lyrical production (1963-1966 for Bachmann; 1970-1972 for Pizarnik), most especially on two poems which are considered by the critics to be their «farewell» to poetry : «Keine Delikatessen» [No delicacies] by Bachmann (1963) and «En esta noche, en este mundo» [In this night, in this world] by Pizarnik (1971). We demonstrate that both poets show the same distrust of their medium, language, accompanied by a particular concern for silence, which appears in their respective poems both thematically and formally.

Simkin, Stephen John. "Gerard Manley Hopkins : critical perceptions of his relation to poetic tradition to 1970." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/15092.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis has been to make an accurate assessment of the developments in Hopkins criticism up until 1970, with overriding emphasis on perceptions of his relation to poetic tradition. The chosen methodology involves a chapter by chapter discussion of Hopkins' perceived relation to individual poets or groups of poets. Generally, each chapter opens with an examination of Hopkins' published correspondence, scrutinizing his own criticism of the poet or poets in question, and proceeds in a chronological survey of the ways in which critics and reviewers have related him to the predecessor in question. Material covered in the thesis includes major published works on Hopkins; articles and reviews in scholarly periodicals, as well as more popular journals and some newspapers; and other critical works where Hopkins receives some degree of attention. The 'cutoff' point of this study is 1970, although a final chapter has been appended with a less detailed survey of the developments from 1970 to the present day. On certain occasions, I have ventured to investigate more fully some areas of Hopkins' literary genetics that seem not to have received the attention they deserve. In general, however, the focus of the thesis is upon the perceptions of the critics, and attempts are made to assess the ways in which Hopkins' fluctuating critical standing has altered these perceptions and vice versa. One of the most frequently recurring demands has been the need to try and determine why Hopkins has been related to different poets and different poetic traditions at different times. To provide a more 'three-dimensional' perspective, two chapters are devoted to exploring the ways in which Hopkins has been perceived as an influence on twentieth century poetry, in general terms, and in specific cases. In conclusion, a 'map' of the territory of Hopkins' criticism charting the perceived relations between his oeuvre and poetic tradition is proposed. And, with a necessary emphasis on the provisional (particularly with the post-1970 study taken into account), some suggestions are made for new directions in this area of study.

Full textAbstract:
To most flutists, Paul Taffanel is known for his Method and as the "Father" of the French school of flute playing. Considering the import of this title, little research has been done on him. It is the goal of this researcher to present a more complete picture of Taffanel than has previously been seen.
To understand the significance of some of the things Taffanel did, it is necessary to know what study at the Paris Conservatoire was like. Lessons were given in classes in which all levels of playing were represented. There was no individual study, and until 1945, there was only one flute class. The number in the class was usually 12, and entry into it was by competitive audition. These auditions were held every October, and the Concours (public exam) was held each July. Requirements for the Concours included a set piece for each instrument (called Morceau de Concours) and a piece of accompanied sightreading.
The jury was chaired by the Director of the Conservatoire, with both internal and external jurors. Taffanel sat in on at least two of these juries before he became professor of flute at the Conservatoire. The awards given were First or Second Prize or First or Second Certificate of Merit. A prize means playing against a certain standard, not competition between individual candidates. As a result, more than one First Prize could be awarded, or it could be withheld altogether. A First Prize was really necessary for a successful musical career.
In Paris, there were many theatre and concert orchestras. There were also salons in which to play chamber music, but the best positions available were in the Paris Opéra and Opéra- Comique. These were government subsidised and had full -time employment and state pension on retirement. There was also the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire which gave annual Sunday concerts between November and April. Membership into this orchestra was by election. The most successful flutist therefore was one who had gained a First Prize and held positions at the Paris Opera and Société des Concerts.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis traverses the complexities and entanglement of theoretical and practical processes in a Post-structural age. Through the deconstruction of stable systems of knowledge and thought, this age has become synonymous with uncertainty. In an attempt to navigate a time of continual change, Foucault proposes a toolkit. Foucault advocates deconstruction, critical engagement and reflection. In addition to these tools, this thesis moves through genealogical, mapping, archaeological and glass (blowing) methodologies. My practice cannot be separated from theory, it is excavated concurrently. Foucault, Derrida, Nietzsche, Deleuze and Guattari open up knowledge systems in an effort to uncover alternative thought trajectories and create a space in which complexity can exist. Knowledge circulating in this space is not fixed, it manifests in moments. My practical project, Fleeting Certainty, also aims to create an open space. It does not culminate in one, autonomous work, but is rather an archive of moments. Viewers will also be equipped with a toolkit of light and lenses with which to create moments of their own. Therefore moments will generate continuously. These theoretical and practical processes do not culminate in a coherent conclusion. There is a pause, a comma, but there are many more trajectories or lines to follow.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis deurkruis die ingewikkeldhede en verstrengeling van teoretiese en praktiese prosesse binne ’n Post-strukturele tydperk. Hierdie tydperk het, deur die dekonstruksie van stabiele stelsels van kennis en denke, gelykstaande aan onsekerheid geword. In a poging om ’n tydperk van voortdurende verandering te verken, stel Foucault sekere hulpmiddels voor. Foucault bepleit, dekonstruksie, kritiese betrokkenheid en besinning. Benewens hierdie hulpmiddels, maak hierdie tesis gebruik van genealogiese, karterings-, argeologiese en glas (blaas) metodologieë. Die praktiese komponent van my werk hou ten nouste verband met die teoretiese en kan nie van mekaar geskei word nie. Foucault, Derrida, Nietzsche, Deleuze and Guattari stel kennisstelsels oop in ’n poging om alternatiewe gedagtegange te ontbloot en skep ’n ruimte waarin kompleksiteit kan bestaan. Kennis wat in hierdie ruimte bestaan, is nie vas of bepaald nie, maar kom in oomblikke voor. My praktiese projek, Fleeting Certainty, poog ook om ’n ‘oop’ ruimte te skep. Die projek loop nie uit op een selfstandige werk nie, maar dien as ’n versameling of argief van oomblikke. Kykers sal ook toegerus word met hulpmiddels in die vorm van lig en lense waarmee hulle oomblikke van hul eie kan skep. Oomblikke sal dus voortdurent geskep word. Hierdie teoretiese en praktiese prosesse loop ook nie op ’n samehangende gevolgtrekking uit nie. Daar is ’n pouse, ’n komma, maar daar is baie meer bane of lyne om te volg.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis challenges the assumption that Chaucer is the father of the living English poetic tradition. Nobody would deny that poetry existed in a form of English before the fourteenth century, but it is commonly assumed that linguistic and cultural changes have made Anglo-Saxon poetry a specialist area of concern, of no use or interest to modern poets. It is demonstrated that during the nineteenth century, advances in linguistic and textual scholarship made Anglo-Saxon poetry more widely available than had been the case, probably since the Anglo-Norman period. Knowledge of Anglo-Saxon literature is subsequently communicated to poets, particularly after the subject is institutionalized in English departments at British and American universities. Chapter One charts this rise in awareness of Anglo-Saxon poetry and considers its effects on several nineteenth-century poets (William Barnes, Henry Longfellow, Alfred Tennyson and William Morris). Major studies then follow of Gerard Hopkins, Ezra Pound and W. H. Auden and the uses that they make of Anglo-Saxon in their own poetry. It is argued that through these writers Anglo-Saxon has had a more important impact on modern poetry than has been thought previously. Moreover, Anglo-Saxon is often included as part of a poetics that might be called 'modernist'. For each of the three poets under study, the nature of their contact with Anglo-Saxon poetry is determined from documentary evidence (whether at university, or via secondary literature), and different stylistic debts are examined by close readings of a number of poems. No previous work has attempted a detailed analysis of the uses to which these three writers put Anglo-Saxon poetry. This thesis offers such an analysis and synthesizes the different approaches to Anglo-Saxon in order to provide an overview of this phenomenon in nineteenth- and twentieth-century poetry.

Full textAbstract:
In order to counter what I regard as premature and reductive formulations of a 'native' British postmodernism, I identify a specific tendency in contemporary writing which I name the domestic surreal, and which I trace through the poetry of John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, Roy Fisher, Christopher Middleton, John Ash, Peter Didsbury and Ian McMillan. Through close reading and a comparative approach, I uncover key preoccupations with idiosyncratic perception, shared experience, urban space and poetic play. I also describe a network of allegiances and influence among these writers which reveals the domestic surreal to be one of the contemporary manifestations of an imaginative tradition which stretches back through the Surrealist and Cubist movements to Baudelaire and Rimbaud. For the poets of the domestic surreal, engagement with an aesthetic tradition is inextricably linked with their response to contemporary conditions. Drawing on dialectical and poststructuralist perspectives, I propose that the domestic surreal attempts to resist the constraints of social and aesthetic consensus in Britain and America in the period following the Second World War.

Full textAbstract:
Currently the most influential accounts of personal autonomy, at least in the Englishspeaking world, focus on providing conditions under which agents can be said to exercise self-control. Two distinct accounts of personal autonomy have emerged in this tradition: firstly, hierarchical models grounded in the work of Harry Frankfurt; and secondly, systems division models most famously articulated by Gary Watson. In this thesis I show the inadequacies of both of these models by exploring the problematic views of the self and self-control underlying each model. I will suggest that the problems faced by these models stem from the fact that they endorse a problematic fragmentation of the self. I suggest that a Nietzschean account of personal autonomy is able to avoid these problems. The Nietzschean account can largely, I show, be drawn from Nietzsche’s understanding of both the ‘man of ressentiment’ and his opposite, the sovereign individual. On this picture wholeness of self – rather than fragmentation of the self – is required in order for us to be most fully autonomous. Furthermore, this wholeness of self requires the kind of integrity which is opposed to the problematic fragmentation endorsed by Frankfurt and Watson.

Rau, Asta. "Supervision : a Foucaultian exploration of institutional and interpersonal power relations between postgraduate supervisors, their students and the university domain." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1003671.
Full textAbstract:
Supervision is widely acknowledged as influencing the quality of postgraduate theses, and by association, of postgraduates. Despite this, publications on conducting research offer far less guidance on managing the supervision relationship than on the practicalities of producing a thesis. In-depth, qualitative supervision studies are few and fewer still examine power in the supervision relationship. Michel Foucault’s insights are used to explore the question: How do postgraduate supervisors and their Master’s students experience the supervision relationship and how are the dynamics of interpersonal and institutional power implicated in these relationships? Foucault argues that power relations always involve resistances; these function primarily through institutionalized discourses to produce different forms of knowledge, one form of which is identity or subjectivity. Accordingly, power relations are explored in terms of thesis-as-product, person-as-product and the impact of both on the mediation of knowledge in the educational domain. Four institutionalized discourses in the university domain are examined: · Commercial educational management discourse: targets academics through issues of quality assurance, throughput, publication, research productivity and funding. · Anarchic educational leadership discourse: integrates quantum principles with commercial demands, change management strategies and meaningful participation. · Humanistic discourse: favours a pastoral ethic and is person-centered. · Holistic discourse: cultivates ecological sensibility and values the interconnectedness of all aspects of being-in-the-world. Data collected in sixteen semi-structured interviews with three matched supervisor-student pairs selected from the humanities and education faculties of one South African university, are presented as case studies. Data analysis combines grounded theory techniques with selected aspects of Foucault’s methods. A conceptual model is devised to analyse how participants use resistance strategies to interface their autonomy and dependency with their expectations, abilities, and professional and pastoral care. The research yields rich data in which several thematic correlations in interpersonal and institutional power dynamics are grounded. These include: the significance of supervisor-student matching; links between expectations, abilities, the way participants negotiate power and the quality of professional and pastoral care they experience; the benefit of personal affinity to thesis-as-product and person-as-product; and the impact of commercial demands on participants’ power relations. Participants tend to reproduce the discourses in which they are embedded and adopt or adapt aspects of contesting discourses to this end. Potential avenues are identified for improving supervision practice and for further research.

Paphitis, Sharli Anne. "Control and vulnerability : reflections on the nature of human agency and personhood." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1018671.
Full textAbstract:
Following the writings of philosophers such as Harry Frankfurt, Gary Watson, and Alfred Mele, in this thesis I defend some central claims of the self-control view of human agency. However, I not only defend, but also supplement this view in the following two ways. First, drawing on work by Mary Midgley and Sigmund Freud I advance the claim that self-control requires the experience of internal conflict between an agent’s motivations and intentions. Second, drawing on insights from Simone de Beauvoir and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as recent research in social psychology and cognitive science, I will argue in this thesis that self-control and vulnerability are inextricably intertwined with one another, and that as a result both are to be seen as constitutive of human agency. While it is the capacity for self-control that marks us out as human agents, I argue that it is also our uniquely human vulnerability which distinguishes our agency from the kind of agency which we might attribute to other potential or actual forms of sentience. Further, while the concepts of human agency and personhood are typically conflated in the analytic tradition of philosophy, in this thesis I will show that there are good reasons for understanding these two concepts as subtly distinct from one another. The term personhood, I will argue, can fruitfully be understood in substantive rather than purely formal terms. A person, in the superlative sense, is to be understood as someone who exercises their agency well; and, as such, persons are answerable to a number of normative prescriptions. Following Midgley, Nietzsche and Martha Nussbaum, I argue against Frankfurt’s normative prescription for personhood in the form of what he calls ‘wholeheartedness’, and offer four normative prescriptions for personhood of my own.

Full textAbstract:
My D.Phil, dissertation sheds new light on German literary decadence around 1900, its universal concepts, plurality of discourses and poetic transformations. The heuristic value of my dissertation is a refined differentiation of Dekadenz which reconstructs the literary history of the concept and for the first time proposes specific poetic constellations. In chapter 1, decadence is reviewed with its rich research heritage and introduced as a decisive concept and discourse of aesthetic modernism. Although much has been written on decadence, the concept is clearly in need of scholarly reconsideration. I argue that decadence is not only a vague epochal construct and an ensemble of motifs, but also encompasses discourses, universal concepts and a versatile literary style. In view of the stylistic eclecticism around 1900, I argue that decadence is a dynamic and malleable concept which can be combined with other aesthetic styles, movements and philosophical contexts depending on the specific author. Chapter 2 contextualizes Dekadenz from its etymology and central discourses to its universal concepts. Etymologically derived from the Latin verb de-cadere decadence signifies a downward movement and a figure of fragmentation. It evokes cultural and political decline especially that of the Roman Empire (décadence romaine) and undergoes various aesthetic transformations (1857-1894). After touching upon the precursors Baudelaire (1857), Bourget (1883) and Bahr (1889-1894), I dwell on Nietzsche to demonstrate the philosophically complex German double evaluation of decadence. I derive three universal concepts from Nietzsche (health vs. sickness, endings vs. new beginnings, fragmentation vs. wholeness) which are crucial to my literary analysis. My comprehensive literary analysis centers on three specific poetic constellations of decadence between late realism and aesthetic modernism. Chapter 3 illuminates Mann's spätrealistische Dekadenz (1894-1924) with his (Nietzschean) double evaluations. Transformations of decadence are shown in his early novellas, Buddenbrooks, Der Tod in Venedig and Der Zauberberg. Chapter 4 illustrates Hofmannsthal's ästhetizistische Dekadenz (1891-1902) in his early essays, his prose fragment Age of Innocence and Das Märchen der 672. Nacht. A significant transformation of decadence is illuminated in Ein Brief (1902), where Nietzschean decadence is concentrated and tentatively overturned. In chapter 5, Rilke's modernistische Dekadenz (1898-1910) is shown from his early fragment Ewald Tragy to his only novel Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge. His novel attempts a poetic 'revaluation of all values' and culminates in the emergence of a genuinely modernist decadence.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides an analysis of the portrayal and function of relationships between women in the following Erzahlungen by Ingeborg Bachmann: "Ein Schritt nach Gomorrha," "Das Gebell," and "Drei Wege zum See." The major research questions include whether there is a similar representation of female-female interactions and a common conception of gender and identity construction arising from these interactions. In addition to offering a unique perspective on relationships between women, this analysis presents "Das Gebell" as the story of two women, rather than one that focuses on the relationship between a mother and her son, which has predominately been the interpretation in the previous literature. Findings indicate that parallels exist in the way women are portrayed in the above three Erzahlungen and that the female-female interactions serve certain common narrative functions in each of these texts.

This research refers mainly to Jacques Lagrange’s unpublished manuscripts related to courses offered by Michel Foucault at École Normale Supérieure de Paris, and deposited at Institut Mémoires de l’Édition Contemporaine. It also refers to those by Michel Foucault himself recently deposited at Bibliothèque Nationale de France. The latter focus on files concerning the 1950s –a period not to be ignored if one intends to understand the development of his researches, in order to apprehend the role of Psychology in Michel Foucault’s philosophical problematic. This research intends to show that – leaving from a discourse on psykhé (Psychology) and reaching a conduction of psykhé (Psykhogogía) - , Foucault’s considerations adopt an anti-psychologic posture, while they allow a new understanding of subjectivity

Full textAbstract:
This thesis reconsiders the generally held view that Friedrich Nietzsche's works are misogynist. In doing so it provides an interpretation of Nietzsche's texts with respect to the metaphor "woman," sets this interpretation into an historical context of Nietzsche reception and follows the extension of Nietzsche's metaphor "woman" into French feminist theory. It provides an interpretation that shows that a misogynist reading of Nietzsche is in error because such a reading fails to consider the multiple perspectives that operate in Nietzsche's texts.

Michel Foucault (1926-1984) is a thinker well recognized for establishing a peculiar relationship with philosophy: he constantly affirms that he cannot be considered a philosopher, criticizes the way that philosophy is exercised, rigorously and creatively proposing another form of practicing it. Interested in understanding the transformations of thought, he investigates the past to diagnose the present, invents concepts, constructs ideas, and destroys evidences. Passionate to novelty and always willing to take risks, he develops his intellectual trajectory in search of new ways of acting and thinking. This paper investigates a conception of philosophy in the light of Michel Foucault. Using the resource of metaphor, this conception is presented as a philosophical theater. In “The stage of philosophy”, Foucault states that his life is dedicated to "the theater of truth", a "story of the scene", a story of how sickness, madness and crime were staged. On the other hand, the inventiveness of the Foucauldian thought evokes the vitality of the theatrical performance. In the first chapter the relations between Foucault and the theater appear. The next three chapters summon the theatrical stage as an epistemic and heterotopic space of the philosophy, the actor as a professor, engaged philosopher, endowed with philosophical gestures, and the staging as "radical journalism", diagnosis of the present, "impatience of freedom", transgressive and limit-experience. Facing all these relations, to conceive philosophy as a philosophical theater, means to signalize the possibility of "thinking differently than one thinks, and perceiving differently from what one sees"
Michel Foucault (1926-1984) é um pensador reconhecido por estabelecer uma relação peculiar com a filosofia: afirma numerosas vezes que não pode ser considerado filósofo, critica a maneira como ela é exercida e propõe, de forma rigorosa e criativa, outra maneira de praticá-la. Interessado em compreender as transformações do pensamento, ele investiga o passado para diagnosticar o presente, inventa conceitos, constrói ideias e destrói evidências. Apaixonado pelo novo e disposto a correr riscos, desenvolve sua trajetória intelectual em busca de novas formas de agir e de pensar. Este trabalho investiga uma concepção de filosofia à luz de Michel Foucault. Utilizando o recurso da metáfora, esta elaboração é apresentada como teatro filosófico. Em A cena da filosofia, Foucault afirma que sua vida é dedicada ao “teatro da verdade”, uma “história da cena”, história de como se encenaram a doença, a loucura, o crime. Por outro lado, a inventividade do pensamento foucaultiano evoca a vitalidade do fazer teatral. No primeiro capítulo figuram as relações entre Foucault e o teatro. Os três capítulos seguintes convocam o palco teatral como espaço epistêmico e heterotópico da filosofia, o ator como professor, filósofo engajado, dotado de gestos filosóficos, e a encenação como “jornalismo radical”, diagnóstico do presente, “impaciência da liberdade”, experiência-limite e transgressora. Diante de todas essas relações, conceber a filosofia como teatro filosófico significa assinalar a possibilidade de “pensar diferentemente do que se pensa, e perceber diferentemente do que se vê”

Full textAbstract:
Mishima Yukio premiered the play Rokumeikan in 1956 and published it in 1957. For more than half a century, this play has been praised as one of the finest Japanese plays in the Post-War period. Rokumeikan is a multi-act tragic melodrama, set in 1886 (Meiji Period) in the Rokumeikan building. The play intertwines complex political cabals, intense loves and hatreds, and multiple deceptions embodying the conflict between political power and love. This essay explores the reasons why Rokumeikan has maintained its popularity over its fifty year long performance history and examines the critical reception of the play. My analysis of the Rokumeikan text is based on conflicting notions of truth and power. According to the French philosopher, Michel Foucault, socio-political power creates truth. This "power reality" is embodied in the play by Prime Minister Kageyama, and its authority is challenged by his wife, Asako, who has an entirely different conception of truth. This interplay of conflicting values has helped to maintain the popularity and stature of the play for half a century.

This dissertation intends to delineate the task that Nietzsche gave himself and made the primary goal of presenting the “name” of Nietzsche. His act of rendering the project of transvaluation of all values effective, understood by the philosopher as the greatest demand yet made of humanity, considering that it provoked a deep cut in the history of Western man, was closely related to this approximation with the “name” of Nietzsche. Hence, the need for the philosopher to: make himself known. Still, how the author of Ecce homo “reveals” himself to humanity, fully distinguishing himself, is the way philosophers have presented themselves traditionally, in a type of presentation that distances itself from the idea of an autobiography. Thus, the author of Ecce homo presents himself through masks like the historian, the doctor and the psychologist, Nietzschean disguises that resonate with each other and are imbricated in the project of transvaluation of values. The thesis will demonstrate how some of the main aspects of his philosophy, such as forgetfulness, resentment, conscience, and values will be treated with these images, or by these masks put on by the philosopher
Nossa dissertação pretende esboçar a tarefa que Nietzsche atribuiu a si mesmo, a qual tinha como meta principal apresentar o “nome” Nietzsche. A efetivação do projeto de transvaloração de todos os valores, entendida pelo filósofo como a mais alta exigência já feita à humanidade, visto que provocava uma cesura na história do homem ocidental, perpassava por essa aproximação com o “nome” Nietzsche, daí, então, a necessidade do filósofo em: dar-se a conhecer. Todavia, o modo como o autor de Ecce homo se “revela” à humanidade, distingue-se, por completo, da forma como os filósofos se apresentavam tradicionalmente, isto é, trata-se de um tipo de apresentação que se aparta da ideia de uma autobiografia. Destarte, é a partir de máscaras como o historiador, o médico e o psicólogo, disfarces nietzschianos que ressoam entre si, e que estão imbricados ao projeto de transvaloração dos valores, que o autor de Ecce homo se apresenta. Tentaremos mostrar, ao longo do texto, como alguns dos aspectos principais de sua filosofia, como, por exemplo, o esquecimento, o ressentimento, a consciência, os valores, etc, serão tratados por essas imagens, ou por essas máscaras assumidas pelo filósofo

Full textAbstract:
The question of this thesis is whether the individual can resolve the problem of culture crisis in her own case. Culture crisis is a historical moment in which our culture leads us to expect a world drastically different from the one in which we find ourselves. This thesis will focus on the experience of Generation Y in the fall-out of the 2008 Recession. It will be argued that we need a Wittgensteinian view of language in order to account for the phenomenon of culture crisis. It will be suggested that our individual has to be a Nietzschean individual in order to resolve the problem of culture crisis in her own case. Potential incompatibilities between a Wittgensteinian view of language and the Nietzschean individual will be considered and rejected. It will be concluded that in order to resolve the problem of culture crisis in her own case the individual must change the way she lives.

Full textAbstract:
While often assumed, Gerard Manley Hopkins' influence on Dylan Thomas has needed substantiation. By placing the issue of Hopkins' influence on Thomas within critical, historical, and literary contexts, this study explores the issue and demonstrates Hopkins' influence. Summary and assessment of previous critical work on the issue of Hopkins' influence establish the ways in which this study continues, diverges from or completes work done in the past. Evidence from biographical work on Thomas, as well as his letters and prose, outlines his contact with Hopkins' poems. A discussion of Thomas' Welsh background relates his experience of Wales and Welsh prosody to Hopkins' corresponding experiences. The literary context of the issue of Hopkins' influence on Thomas is established by means of a two-part foundation. First, the possible influence of W. B. Yeats, Wilfred Owen, Hart Crane, and James Joyce on Thomas is distinguished from Hopkins' influence. Second, specifically Hopkinsian areas of influence on Thomas are discussed. These areas of influence serve as a critical framework within which six Thomas poems dating from 1934 to 1951 are analyzed.

This dissertation aims to discuss the epstemological ethical subject in Focault in two specific moments of his work: in the chapter The great confinement from The History of Madness and the class taught in January 6th 1982 in the course The Hermeneutics of Subject. The first chapter discusses the passage The great confinement from The History of Madness, which was a thesis published in 1961. At first, we consider that this text presented, in Focault‟s thought, the relationship between madness and reason and the conjuction of knowledge and power which, in modernity, lead to the marginalisation of madness in the epstemological constitution of the cartesian subject in Descartes‟ Meditations and other metaphysical writings. Later, this dissertation shows that this approach resulted in a polemic between Focault and Jacques Derrida (1930-2009). This theoretical dispute did not appear to have meaningful impact, however, the theoretical dispute resulted in vigorous problems. In the second chapter, it is discussed the way in which Focault, at the first class in the course The Hermeneutics of Subject (1981-1982), brings back issues such as the subject of knowledge and their relationship with the truth, associated with the know yourself of and the care of oneself in ancient ethical tradition. At this course, Focault points out keys for interpretation that will allow us to conclude that the relationship between the know yourself of oneself and the care of oneself in the field of acient subject‟s practical conduct. Therefore, the dissertation aims to emphasize and discuss two moments of problematization which, according to different emphasis, goes through Focault‟s writing
Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir o tema do sujeito ético epistemológico em Foucault em dois momentos precisos de seus trabalhos: no capítulo “A grande Internação” de História da loucura na Idade Clássica, e na aula de 6 de janeiro de 1982 do curso A Hermenêutica do Sujeito. O primeiro capítulo aborda a passagem “A Grande Internação” da História da loucura na Idade Clássica, tese publicada em 1961. Num primeiro momento deste capítulo, consideramos que este texto apresentou, no pensamento foucaultiano, a relação entre loucura e razão e a conjunção de saberes e poderes que, na modernidade, levaram à marginalização da loucura na constituição epistêmica do sujeito cartesiano em as Meditações Metafisicas de Descartes. Num segundo momento, mostramos que essa abordagem de Foucault desencadeou uma polêmica entre ele e Jacques Derrida (1930-2009). Essa disputa teórica aparentava ser transitória e desprovida de maior impacto, todavia, o embate teórico travado produziu problemas vigorosos. O segundo capítulo discute o modo pelo qual Foucault, na primeira aula do curso A Hermenêutica do sujeito (1981-1982), recupera questões referentes ao tema do sujeito de conhecimento e sua relação com a verdade, associado ao conhecimento de si e cuidado de si na tradição ética antiga. Nesse curso, Foucault indica chaves de interpretação que nos permitirão concluir que a relação entre “conhecimento” e “cuidado de si” decorre da problematização do sujeito elaborada por Foucault no início da década de 1980. No recorte de A Hermenêutica do sujeito, identificaremos a ocorrência do cuidado de si no campo da conduta prática do sujeito antigo. Desse modo, a dissertação procura destacar e discutir dois dos momentos de uma problematização que, segundo diferentes ênfases, percorre os escritos de Foucault: a problematização do sujeito

Resumo: A principal questão deste estudo é pensar Dioniso como o sucessor de Zeus. A reflexão proposta sugere que no século V a.C. é Dioniso o soberano que irá ditar os nomoi, leis, que irão reger a vidas dos imortais e dos mortais. Para tal empreitada é proposta uma leitura sobre o dionisismo desde o século VII a.C., que é quando Dioniso retorna das suas viagens exterior para a Grécia trazendo o vinho, até V a.C. quando o deus se torna a divindade mais cultuada da pólis. A principal fonte para tal leitura é a tragédia As bacantes de Eurípides, pois ela narra o retorno de Dioniso e a sua afirmação como uma divindade poderosa e foi escrita no século V a.C. Os principais interlocutores teóricos para o estudo de As bacantes são René Girard e Friedrich Nietzsche ¿ em específico os livros A violência e o sagrado e O nascimento da tragédia. A metodologia apresentada é a seguinte: primeiro serão discutidas as particularidades divinas que convém a Dioniso. O deus foi gestado por uma mortal, devido a isso ele tem mais afinidade com os mortais que as demais potestades. Além disso, é um deus que passa por vários sacrifícios. A partir de tais argumentos é desenvolvida a relação entre o deus e os mortais tendo como ponto de partida os heróis da epopeia. Será defendida a hipótese de que Dioniso apropria-se do logos, um discurso que mede o tempo a partir dos homens e não dos deuses, para fortalecer-se como divindade. Uma vez esclarecido o vínculo de Dioniso com os mortais, será proposta uma interpretação de As bacantes tendo tal obra como o marco da soberania de Dioniso ¿ é ele quem sucederá Zeus. A elaboração de tal leitura levou à contestação da perspectiva teórica de Nietzsche sobre o confronto e a conciliação entre apolíneo e o dionisíaco, impulsos artísticos que Nietzsche usa para definir a religião grega, e também sobre a figura de Sócrates. Desse modo, na última parte será feito um debate teórico sobre a leitura de Nietzsche, será relativizada a perspectiva do filósofo de que entre o apolíneo e o dionisíaco houve uma conciliação. Além disso, será proposta uma imagem de Sócrates não como o principal inimigo de Dioniso, mas como uma das máscara do deus
Abstract: The main question our study poses is whether one can interpret Dionysus as being the successor to Zeus. Our project proposes that in the fifth century BC, Dionysus determined nomoi, the laws that governed the lives of both mortals and immortals. In this dissertation we explore different references to Dionysus that circulated from the seventh century BC, when Dionysus returned to Greece from his travels abroad bringing with him wine, to the fifth century BC,the point when he became the most worshiped God in polis. Our main literary source is Euripedes¿s The Bacchae, writen in the fifth century BC, this work discusses Dionysus¿s ascent to become one of the powerful gods in Greece following his return to the empire. The principal theorists we engage with in this work are René Girard and Friedrich Nietzsche ¿ specifically, Violence and the Sacred and The Birth of Tragedy.The fist part of the dissertation explores particular traits ascribed to Dionyusus as a result of having been gestated by a mortal. Due to this, Dionysus has more affinity with mortals than the other gods have. Moreover, Dionysus makes a number of sacrifices. It is from these interpretations that the relationship between God and mortals originates and it is this point that marks the creation of heroes.Our hypothesis is that Dionysus appropriates logos, which we can understand as a form of discourse that measures time from mortals, not for gods, which in turn is used by Dionysus to strengthen himself as a god. After describing the relationship between mortals and gods, we propose an interpretation of The Bacchaethat show how this text can be interpreted showing Dionysus status as a powerful god -it is he who succeeds Zeus. From here we dispute Nietzsche's interpretation on confrontation andreconciliation between Apollonian and Dionysian, artistic impulses that Nietzsche uses to define ancient Greek religion, not to mention Nietzche¿s treatment of Socrates. In the final section we engage with the theoretical debate through a close readin of Nietzsche. In it we relativize Nietzsche¿s understanding that a compromise existed between the Apollonian and Dionysian. Furthermore, we propose that Socrates was not an enemy of Dionysus, but rather he was a mask of Dionysus

The present study consists of a theoretical exercise, of a bibliographic character, destined to compose a master's thesis in Philosophy. The theme chosen is intended to accompany the reflections of Michel Foucault (1926-1984) on the so-called "kidnapping institutions". The way forward is to follow the footsteps of Michel Foucault's trajectory from his broader scope (the general panorama of his thinking) to the particular theme of "kidnapping institutions", especially through the moment of that trajectory in which they appear explicitly. To achieve such a purpose, there is an introduction about the intellectual path of the philosopher in (his) three moments, followed by the discipline and its generalization. Then, the study focuses the appearance of a disciplinary society, researching the "kidnapping institutions" in Modernity, in order to answer the question: after all, what is the very first function of "kidnapping institutions"?
O presente estudo consiste em um exercício teórico, de caráter bibliográfico, destinado a compor uma dissertação de mestrado em Filosofia. O tema escolhido tem o intuito de acompanhar as reflexões de Michel Foucault ( 1926-1984) sobre as assim chamadas “instituições de sequestro”. O caminho percorrido busca seguir os passos da trajetória de Michel Foucault desde seu âmbito maior ( o panorama geral do seu pensamento) até o tema particular das “ instituições de sequestro” , passando, especialmente pelo momento daquela trajetória na qual elas aparecem de modo explícito. Para tanto há uma introdução sobre a trajetória intelectual do filósofo em seus três momentos. Trata-se, em seguida, da disciplina e sua generalização. Na sequência, o estudo explicita o surgimento da sociedade disciplinar, para, então, investigar as “instituições de sequestro”, na Modernidade, e responder à pergunta: afinal, qual é a função precípua das “instituições de sequestro” ?

Full textAbstract:
The study seeks to interrogate the gender constructions in the Daily Sun’s “Charter for a Man” campaign which ran from 7 November to 7 December 2007. It coincided with the 16 Days of Activism against gender violence and was designed to lobby support for this campaign and discourage men from physically abusing women. The “Charter for a Man” listed nine principles that signatories were to abide by. It included a section to be signed by men to be submitted to and collected by the Daily Sun. The campaign was constructed as an intervention into the issue of gender violence. Consequently, the 30 news stories, four editorial pieces and 11 letters to the editor that were published during the campaign period make up the textual data analysed in the study. The news stories consisted of testimonies from abused women and some women abusers. In addition, celebrity signatories were selected to endorse the campaign and encourage other men to follow suit. In the editorials, the campaign was consistently flagged as a nation building initiative which all men were supposed to support. The letters to the editor consisted of readers who either supported or rejected the campaign. The study takes place against the context of a patriarchal society characterised by high levels of violence. Given this scenario, the study is informed by a concern with gender justice and therefore considers whether such a campaign, ostensibly aimed at eradicating gender violence, has the potential of being transformative of gender inequalities. The study set out to establish the kinds of masculinities and femininities that were variously constituted in the campaign as well as the gender discourses that were privileged. It is informed by the theories of feminist poststructuralism and Foucault’s conceptualisation of discourse. As the campaign is the initiative of a tabloid newspaper, it is also considered within the framework of newspaper campaigns and arguments about tabloids and the public sphere. As text based research, the study employs critical discourse analysis as a qualitative procedure of textual analysis. It makes use of an eclectic approach to textual analysis that draws on linguistics, narrative and argumentation. The texts are analysed according to the categories of news texts contained which includes the Charter itself, signatory articles, testimonies, vox pops and letters to the editor. The overarching theme of nationhood projected in the editorials and other categories is also discussed as part of the analysis. The study concludes that the Daily Sun campaign might be a seemingly progressive action at first glance. However, it does not challenge the existing gender order but rather maintains and sustains patriarchal attitudes through the repeated representation of women as weak and in need of patronage and men as their protectors and providers. In some instances, women are constructed primarily as sexual beings as their physical attributes are emphasised, while men are constructed as working class citizens and rational beings. The study therefore proposes that the Daily Sun fails as an alternative public sphere that might make visible the concerns of women as a marginalised group in society. The campaign, it is argued, is self-serving in its promotion of the Daily Sun’s image as the “People’s Paper” rather than serious concerns about gender violence.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to explore how young, educated and seemingly liberated women construct their identities and make sense of their futures around their heterosexual relationships. Using the experiences of eight women participants engaged in long-term heterosexual relationships, combined with relevant secondary literature, issues of sexuality, identity, power and intimacy are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the implications of their identity construction and how they 'perform' their roles as women in society. How their sexual stories reflect their positioning in society is premised by the phrase, 'the personal is political' . Through analysis of the participants' experiences mixed with theoretical arguments, this thesis finds that young women are apparently sexually, economically and intellectually liberated but locked into discourses that provide highly unequal, limiting, disempowering and oppressive understandings of masculinity, femininity and sexuality. They live and experience a reality which is far from liberated.

Resumo: Em 1978, Michel Foucault escreveu uma série de artigos jornalísticos para o periódico italiano "Corriere della Sera". Intituladas "reportagens de ideias", tinham como objetivo acompanhar o nascimento das ideias no cruzamento com os acontecimentos do tempo presente. No âmbito deste projeto, realizou duas viagens ao Irã (em setembro e novembro), onde acompanhou de perto a movimentação popular durante os eventos da Revolução Islâmica. Para compreender as raízes da oposição ao governo do xá Reza Pahlavi em seus diversos locais de manifestação, Foucault não se restringiu a conversar com os líderes revolucionários, mas entrevistou diferentes categorias de manifestantes, desde os trabalhadores organizados até os profissionais liberais e intelectualizados, passando pelos diversos níveis de organizações religiosas espalhadas pelo país, dos mulás líderes tribais aos aiatolás das grandes cidades de Qom e Teerã. O que lhe interessava era assistir ao nascimento de uma nova forma de pensar entre os iranianos, e isto só seria possível se ele estivesse lá, em meio ao fervilhar revolucionário. O conjunto de textos, que compreende também artigos, manifestos e entrevistas publicados na imprensa francesa, foi objeto de enorme polêmica, principalmente devido aos desdobramentos posteriores à revolução, com a instauração de uma ditadura teocrática de caráter persecutório às minorias e aos direitos humanos, e permaneceram até hoje pouco explorados teoricamente. Esta dissertação pretende analisar as reportagens iranianas de Foucault a partir de sua construção textual, dos conceitos introduzidos e das diversas interpretações que as cercam. Estrutura-se, assim, em três eixos: o primeiro tem o objetivo de recuperar a trama conceitual interna às reportagens; o segundo, analisar as críticas recebidas e seu contexto teórico; o terceiro, apresentar a espiritualidade política como principal inovação introduzida no corpus teórico foucaultiano. Pretende-se destacar, ainda, ressonâncias dos textos iranianos em outras questões elaboradas por Foucault
Abstract: In 1978 Michel Foucault wrote a series of news articles for the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera". Called "journalism of ideas", the articles had the purpose of following the birth of ideas upon its crossing with present times¿ events. Within the scope of this project, he made two trips to Iran (in September and November), where he followed up close the popular movement during the events of the Islamic Revolution. In order to grasp the roots of the opposition to the Shah Reza Pahlavi government in its several places of manifestation, Foucault did not restrain himself to talking to revolutionary leaders but rather also interviewed different categories of protestors, from organized workers to independent and intellectualized professionals, going through the several level of religious organizations spread out through the country, from mullah tribal leaders to Ayatollahs of the large cities of Qom and Tehran. Foucault was interested in witnessing the birth of a new form of thinking among Iranians and it would only be possible if he would be there present, amidst the revolutionary effervescence. The set of texts, which comprises also articles, manifestos and interviews published by the French press was object of great polemic, mainly due to the unfolding of events following the revolution, with the instauration of a theocratic dictatorship having a persecutory nature against minorities and human rights, and remaining until nowadays not much theoretically explored. This dissertation has the purpose of analyzing the Iranian reportages by Foucault from its textual construction, of concepts introduced and several interpretations surrounding them. Therefore, this paper is structured in three axis, the first having the purpose of retrieving the internal conceptual scheme of the reportages; the second being the analysis of criticism received and its theoretical context; the third being to present the political spirituality as the main innovation introduced to Foucault¿s theoretical framework. It is intended to emphasize yet the resonances of the Iranian texts in other issues elaborated by Foucault

Full textAbstract:
Part 1: ‘True Receivers': Rilke and the Contemporary Poetics of Listening In this part of this thesis I argue that a contemporary ‘poetics of listening' has emerged in the UK, and explore the writing of three of our most significant poets - John Burnside, Kathleen Jamie and Don Paterson - to find out why they have become interested in the idea of the poet as a ‘listener'. I suggest that the appeal of this listening stance accounts for their engagement with the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, who thought of himself as a listening ‘receiver'; it is proposed that Rilke's notion of ‘receivership' and the way his poems relate to the earthly (or the ‘non-human') also account for the general ‘intensification' of interest in his work. An exploration of the shifting status of listening provides context for this study, and I pay particular attention to the way innovations in audio and communications technology influenced Rilke's late sequences the Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus. A connection is made between Rilke's ‘listening poetics' and the ‘listening' stance of Ted Hughes and Edward Thomas; this establishes a ‘listening lineage' for the contemporary poets considered in the thesis. I also suggest that there are intriguing similarities between the ideas of listening that are emerging in contemporary poetics and Hélène Cixous' concept of ‘écriture féminine'. Exploring these similarities helps us to understand the implications of the stance of the poet-listener, which is a counter to the idea that as a writer you must ‘find your voice'. Finally, it is proposed that ‘a poetics of listening' would benefit from an enriched taxonomy. Part 2 of the thesis is a collection of my poems entitled ‘Small Weather'.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude est consacrée à la critique contemporaine occidentale de la rhétorique initiée par la critique nietzschéenne de la philosophie métaphysique. La rhétorique se présente comme une remise en cause et une ré-vision profonde et radicale de la nature du langage lui-même, et par la suite, de tous les aspects de la vie sociale et culturelle. Cette étude traite principalement de la pensée rhétorique chez quatre penseurs, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Paul de Man and Roland Barthes. Dans leurs héritage commun et leur critique de l'approche critique nietzschéenne, ils ont mis en lumière une double nature de la rhétorique : celle-ci non seulement caractérise le mécanisme de la métaphysique, mais aussi conduit tout usage du langage, y compris le discours critique, à un « piège » de déconstruction. Dans leur exposition de la nature et du mécanisme de la rhétorique, ils ont consacré leurs efforts, d'une part, à la réfutation d'une conception aristotélicienne du langage et de la rhétorique; et d'autre part, à une critique d'un certain aveuglement dont faisaient preuve les critiques de la métaphysique. Leur pensée critique sur la rhétorique se résume alors à deux questions: qu'est-ce que la nature de la rhétorique et à partir de là, du langage ? Comment la pensée critique — sur celle-ci et avec celle-ci — est-elle possible ? S’engageant dans une double tâche — une critique (démystification) et une auto-critique — la pensée critique se transforme alors à une « critique de la critique » en tant qu'une réflexion sur la limite de la pensée critique elle-même. C'est-à-dire, une critique — dans le sens kantien du mot — de l'[im]possibilité de la pensée rationnelle. Notre étude se concentre alors sur deux points : premièrement, la nature de la rhétorique telle que l'expose chacun de ces penseurs depuis sa propre perspective intellectuelle. Deuxièmement, la stratégie critique proposée et employée par chacun d'entre euxThis thesis is a study of the contemporary Western critical approach to the problem of rhetoric pioneered by Nietzsche, in which rhetoric presents itself as a profound and radical questioning as well as a re-vision of the nature of language itself, and consequently of all aspects of social and cultural life. This study mainly addresses the rhetorical thinking of four critics — Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Paul de Man and Roland Barthes — who, in their common inheritance from and critique of Nietzsche’s own critical approach, have revealed a dual-nature of rhetoric which not only characterizes the mechanism of metaphysics, but also inevitably enmeshes all human thinking — including critical thinking — in a trap of deconstruction. This double-edged character of rhetoric sets a dual-task for critical thinking: an endless criticism [demystification] and self-criticism. Critical thinking thus turns out to be a “critique of criticism” as a reflection on the limit of critical thinking itself, that is, a critique — in the Kantian sense of the word — of the [im]possibility of rational thinking. Accordingly, this study focuses on two points: firstly, the dual-nature of rhetoric as expounded by each one of the critics from his specific intellectual perspective; secondly, the strategy for critical thinking proposed and employed by each of them

Full textAbstract:
In Culture and Imperialism, Said illustrates that we have no "autonomous
cultural forms," but rather "impure" ones that are the products of historically
"discrepant experiences." American culture has an interesting relationship with the
history of imperialism. The Europeans that settled the U.S. imported slave labor to
assist in the growth of the new nation and this practice ironically "hybridized"
American culture despite institutionalized segregation of the races, mixing disparate
cultural ideas in a common social location.
Said's theory fits an analysis of jazz in America since the music was
instigated by the enslavement of native Africans, West Indians and inhabitants of the
Caribbean, and the tensions this produced between traditional European and non-European cultural experiences are emblematic of its evolution into a popular form of
music. Concomitant to its popularity in the later 1930s was a scholarly interest in the
history of jazz, which culminated in narratives ascribing to it a recognizable
"American" history and a set of familiar European aesthetic characteristics, neglecting
the "discrepant experiences" of jazz history.
During the 1940s, some artists were working with musical ideas that
expanded the innovative spaces left open by those preceding them. Criticized for
playing "anti-jazz," they produced music for audiences who were late to realize the
significance of their contributions. Among them was John Coltrane, a saxophonist
who took these controversial approaches into unconventional musical territories.
Similar to the shortsighted criticisms weighed against his mentors, critics regarding
Coltrane neglected the ways in which his music is important as an expression of the
fundamental power struggles that are at the heart of American culture.
I analyze several of Coltrane's recordings to illustrate how they are artifacts
which can be studied for evidence of the tendency in narratives to preclude the "hybridity" important to the history of jazz. My focus is on the liner notes that
accompany the recordings, which I read "contrapuntally" with other forces in their
production in order to discuss the tensions between economics, communication and
representation that are integral to an understanding of Coltrane's music.Graduation date: 1999

A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Artsin Political Studies by Creative Writing to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, March 2019Set in the context of a post-Apartheid South Africa, this research report constitutes a Foucauldian analysis of how state institutional support for SMME resonates with neoliberal governmentality and the consequent attempt to prompt the post-Apartheid subject. Relevant herein, are the state institutions that are mandated to further the states initiative of enterprise development. Primarily making use of archival analysis, policy data from these institutions were sought out and analysed. Analysing enterprise development from a historical perspective, it is evident that intentions have evolved with regard to two factors. Firstly, the ever-permeating growth in the promotion of ‘entrepreneurial culture’; and secondly, the differentiation of targeted subjects. Through studying these findings, it is argued that there is an attempt by the state to condition entrepreneurial subjectivities. It can further be argued that, as a consequent to the former, the agenda of the state is to outsource fiscal liabilities to informal markets. This research report ultimately constitutes a Foucauldian interpretation of these two cardinal findings.

Full textAbstract:
The works of 20th century French philosopher-historian Michel Foucault often operate in two areas. On the one hand, Foucault's works are histories that operate through specific structures of investigation. On the other, most of these works make a handful of remarks that are, if not methodological, then at the very least, theoretical and which provide a framework for the historical research conducted. Much of the secondary literature written about Foucault's work takes one of two directions at this juncture. On one side, the content of the historical investigations is often used to either support or question either the theoretical remarks or the structure of the investigations themselves. On the other side, the secondary literature often takes these theoretical comments, which are often sparse in both occurrence and detail, and elaborates upon these as the keys to the structure of the historical investigations and even Foucault's thought itself. This thesis will attempt to mediate between the structure of the historical investigations and the theoretical pronouncements made by Foucault. Theoretical comments will be measured against the structure of the historical investigations, giving them their specific weight; the historical investigations will be measured against the theoretical comments in order to highlight their specific structure. This is an important process for assessing Foucault's works precisely because of the distance that often separates the structure of the investigations from the theoretical comments. However, due to the greater weight given in Foucault's oeuvre to historical investigations and the structures that they employ, as evidenced by their quantity and rigour, our examination of a number of his works will pursue more closely these structures of historical investigation. What we find through our examination is that Foucault's works display an anti-ontology visible throughout the variations in their structure. This thesis will attempt to describe these approaches from The Order of Things to The Use of Pleasure and The Care of the Self.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the significance of water as it has been used as a subject in the visual arts, with particular concentration on the use of geometry as a means of accessing pictorial possibilities. The study focuses specifically on selected paintings by Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), Oscar Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Pat Steir (1940-) including some of Steir's etchings, to further demonstrate her thought processes and techniques. It is argued that the paintings of all three artists, although widely divergent yet include threads of commonality and convergence. All explore the fundamental structure of nature (in this case water) through geometry. In addition, spatial concepts through the use of light and colour are closely intertwined and give rise to metaphysical implications. Turner and Monet broke the bonds of the existing academic composition and style of painting. Their paintings pointed the way for artists of the twentieth century, like Steir to further explore the close relationship between the motif and abstract painting. References to
paintings, other than the selected paintings, by these artists will be made in order to illustrate their different approaches yet similar objectives. Finally the relevance of the study to the candidate's own work will be correlated. The dissertation intends to offer a new interpretation of water as a subject in painting, by illuminating and illustrating aspects of the selected paintings by Turner, Monet and Steir. In conclusion, it is anticipated that this discourse will enrich and complement previous interpretations of water, when used as a subject in visual art. It is also envisaged that the study will suggest further research on the subject.Thesis (M.A.)-University of Kwazulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
The following dissertation examines Sartre’s notion of bad faith before identifying parallels
found in Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals. Bad faith is often construed as lying to oneself;
however, this entails an individual being both the deceiver and deceived which presents a
number of paradoxes. By reconceptualising bad faith as self-deception rather than lying to
oneself these paradoxes are avoided. Nietzsche’s Genealogy examines the development of
modern morality and explains its genesis through identifying a specific psychological
tendency, namely, ressentiment. Ressentiment is central to the Genealogy as it results in the
idealisation of asceticism and the development of the bad conscience into guilt. These are
core elements of what Nietzsche terms slave morality. By exposing ressentiment as a
manifestation of bad faith this dissertation highlights the self-deception lying at the
foundation of slave morality. Nietzsche believes that it is slave morality which
predominantly constitutes modern morality, and manifestations of bad faith in Nietzsche’s
account of modern morality therefore give credence to Nietzsche’s call to revalue our values.Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
Die hooffiguur is mev. Maria Elizabeth Rothmann (1875 1975), in die
Afrikaanse letterkunde alombekend as M.E.R. Die sleutelbegrippe is Afrikaner
en Afrikanernasionalisme. Oor die betekenis van die benaming Afrikaner is
daar meningsverskil, maar hier beteken Afrikaner 'n blanke Afrikaanssprekende.
Afrikanernasionalisme is oor die afgelope eeu deur leiers soos Kruger, Steyn,
Reitz, De la Rey, De Wet, Hertzog, Malan, Strydom en Verwoerd uitgespel.
Die tweede hoofstuk bevat 'n aantal verteenwoordigende skrywers en politici se
beskouinge oor die Afrikaner en Afrikanernasionalisme. In die derde hoofstuk
word M.E.R. se beskouinge in die verband behandel en vergelyk met die menings
van Van Wyk Louw, 'n geslag na haar, en J.C. Steyn, 'n geslag na Louw.
Degenaar, gebore twee dekades na Louw en 13 jaar voor Steyn, word vernaamlik
as klankbord betrek omdat sy siening radikaal verskil van M.E.R., Louw en
Steyn s 'n, hoewel Louw na die begin van die jare sestig veel meer "liberaal"
geword het.
Voorts word M.E.R. se eerstehandse vertellings oor Kruger, Steyn, Hertzog en
Verwoerd aan die aanvaarde kenmerke van goeie biografie gemeet. Waar moontlik
word haar siening met die drietal vergelyk. 'n Volgende hoofstuk gaan oor
M. E. R. se taksering van en deernis vir brandarm Afrikaners, soos vervat in
Deel V B van die Carnegie Verslag. Haar verklaring van die oorsake van
Afrikanerarmoede word uitgespel. Ook haar betrokkenheid by die Afrikanerkind
deur haar talryke kinderboeke word toegelig. Dan volg 'n hoofstuk oor M.E.R.
se siening van die Afrikaner se godsdiens.
die beurt, waarop M.E.R. se My beskeie
Voorts kom volkereverhoudings aan
deel as outobiografie van 'n
Afrikanervrou bespreek word. Die laaste twee hoof stukke gaan oor die viertal
se taal en styl, en~as leermeesters van die Afrikanervolk.
Ten slotte word die vier se beskouinge saamgevat. M.E.R. en Steyn glo aan die
selfbeskikkingsreg van die Afrikaner. Sedert die begin van die jare sestig
het Louw beweer dat die Kaapse bruinmense deel van die Afrikanervolk uitmaak,
maar dat daar gebiedskeiding met die swart volke moet wees. Degenaar bepleit
'n unitere staat met die nodige verskansings van regionalisme, 'n handves van
menseregte en 'n onafhanklike regbank.Pride of place belongs to Mrs Maria Elizabeth Rothmann (1875 - 1975), in Afrikaans literature widely known as M.·E.R. The key conceptions are Afrikaner and Afrikanernationalism. Theye are differing opinions about the meaning of the name Afrikaner, but for our purpose it means an Afrikaans speaking white. Afrikaner nationalism has been defined over the past century by leaders like Kruger, Steyn, Reitz, De la Rey, De Wet, Hertzog, Malan, Strydom and Verwoerd. The second chapter portrays the views of some representative authors and politicians on the Afrikaner and Afrikaner nationalism. In the next chapter M.E.R.'s opinion in this regard is discussed and compared and contrasted with the opinions of Louw, a generation after her, and J.C. Steyn, a generation after Louw. Degenaar, born two decades after Louw and thirteen years before Steyn, is used mainly as resonator because his views differ radically from the other three. although Louw turned more "liberal" since the early sixties. Forthwith M. E .R. 's first-hand narratives about Kruger, Steyn, Hertzog and Verwoerd are tested by the accepted standards of good biQJZraphy. Where L.o.tw) Sbe-1vi ....a ~~tLLy. possible her views are compared with those of the trio,.., The next chapter treats M.E.R. 's estimate of and compassion with desperately poor Afrikaners, as portrayed in her Chapter V B of the Carnegie Commission Report. Her indication of the causes of Afrikaner poverty is noted. Her concern with Afrikaner children by way of her many children's books occupies a subsequent chapter. Then follow her views on the Afrikaner's religion and on racial relations, whereafter her My beskeie deel (My allotted portion) is assessed as the autobiography of an Afrikaner woman. The last two chapters discuss the language and style of the four writers concerned as well as their role as teachers of the Afrikaner nation. In conclusion their views are summarised. M.E.R. and Steyn believe in the Afrikaner's right of self-determination. Since the early sixties Louw has regarded the Cape Coloureds as part of the Af rikanervolk, al though he has advocated territorial separation of the Black peoples. Degenaar is in favour of a unitary state entrenched by regionalism, a human rights charter and an independent judiciary.
