Abstract:
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.

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.

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

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”

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.

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

Abstract:
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 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.

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” ?

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 text
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
Henri Michaux first discovered mescaline in 1956. This encounter proved a lasting influence on the work of the writer who, for at least ten years, struggled to circumscribe, then tried to explain the nature of the terrible shock he had received from the mind-altering chemical. The event was so important for the poet that in due time, it brought about a veritable conversion, a total and uncompromising revision of his most fundamental relationships towards the function of language and thought, and towards the basic premises of existence in general. Signs had hinted, previously, at this sudden transfiguration of his vision. His relationships with other drugs (ether, opium) betrayed his hidden desire to go beyond the limits ordained by his tragically caustic and defiant mind. Yet mescaline alone, as a weapon, proved strong enough to overcome Michaux's chronic insubordination, and clear the prolific way that led him toward the realisation and acceptance of that obscure other whose presence he had hitherto only felt, and which had been asleep within him forever.

Full text
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
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 text
Abstract:
'Direct experience of God' is a term frequently used by theologians without adequate clarification regarding its meaning. The understanding thereof has become increasingly complicated by the process of secularization. In the 1960's, it was repeatedly asserted that modern people could not have direct experiences of God, albeit that one could still live by faith and by commitment to the way of Jesus in a world in which, it was asserted, "God is dead". This claim, although long predominant, has been challenged by the upsurge of interest in mysticism, both Eastern and Western, and the burgeoning of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movement, in which circles direct experience of God was frequently claimed. If direct experience of God is something natural to humanity, interpretation of it will vary in exactly the same way as interpretation of all other human experiences. This could be a possible reason for it being so very poorly integrated into everyday life, resulting in the loss of meaning and value.

Abstract:
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 text
Abstract:
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.

Full text
Abstract:
A randomly-selected sample of 31,115 words taken from the eight original plays of Lillian Hellman was analyzed on the basis of female and male dialogue. Lexical classes--verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns--were examined by studying terms described by other researchers, especially Mary P. Hiatt, as belonging to generally "feminine" or "masculine" categories. In these classes, differences were statistically significant based on gender in two areas.Adjective figures that took into account type 1) of adjective, 2) of referent, and 3) of speaker showed statistical significance. This was true only for the "feminine" adjectives, especially as used by female speakers for female referents. Pronouns were distributed through the plays and used by the genders of speakers at significant levels of difference. A connection was evidenced between each gender of speaker and the gender of pronouns used, a strong relationship that also showed significance by play.Areas of syntax studied were emphasis, communication unit length, and clause structure. Markings of emphasis were significant by gender, female characters having both more instances and more marked words. Length evidenced no difference, likely because of requirements of the dramatic setting. The study of clause structure showed that female characters were given more whole sentences and more coordination at significant levels.Each area studied was analyzed for statistical significance. Hiatt's results were also statisticaly calculated and reported. Significance was based on chi-square calculations, at a level of p < .05 for rejecting null hypotheses. In addition to an axis based on gender, figures were also computed for specific plays.Applying the categories to individual plays and characters showed Hellman"s use of these strategies to define personality. For instance, with adjectives and emphasis, types more often given to female characters were also given in comparatively large number to themen in the Hubbard plays (The Little Foxes, and Another Part of the Forest), thereby marking them as unusual and adding to their characterization.

Michel Foucault hat Bücher geschrieben, welche die Geschichte des Denkens in Worte fassen, und er hat in Aufsätzen Bilder betrachtet, die er intensiv beschrieb, so dass sein Text vollkommen darin aufging, kaum selber den Rand überschritt, den sie als Kunstwerk besitzen. Foucaults Arbeiten über Magritte - Dies ist keine Pfeife! - und Manet - ein großes Manuskript hat er selbst vernichtet - legen Zeugnis ab von der Passion für Kunst, der Faszination für die Darstellung am Rande der Vorstellung, außerhalb der Arbeit des Historikers, eine Art Sonntagsbetrachtung. Foucaults bildbezogene Texte sind Verbeugungen eines Kenners, Übungen des Gebildeten, Räsonnements eines Philosophen - sie sind nicht Teil der historiografischen Anstrengung, Epochen auszuzirkeln und Aussagen zu archivieren.

Resumo: Este estudo pretende compreender as Memorias de Pedro Nava enquanto um produto tardio do movimento modernista. Para isto, investiga especialmente as relações desta obra com o modernismo de Mário de Andrade, de cujas ideias o memorialista julga-se devedor. Progressivamente, a análise encaminha-se de modo a demonstrar as peculiaridades da obra de Nava, notadamente a sua atração pela literatura fin de siècle e, sobretudo, a sua peculiar concepção de tempo - traço mais visível quando comparada à obra de outros colegas de movimento, como Carlos Drummond de Andrade e Murilo Mendes (outros memorialistas tardios) ou ainda Oswald de Andrade. Esta peculiar concepção de tempo colaborará para, na "Conclusão" do trabalho, compor a feição tardia do ciclo naviano, então entendido numa chave saidiana (isto é, de acordo com Edward Said em Estilo Tardio). Com isto, espera-se justificar, mais especificamente, a posição insular das Memórias no contexto do modernismo brasileiro
Abstract: This work examines the Pedro Nava's Memorias as a late product of the Modernist movement. In this sense, we study the relationship of this text with the Modernism conceived by Mario de Andrade (whose ideas have influenced a lot Nava in the 20s). Subsequently, the analysis aims to demonstrate the peculiarities of Nava's Memorias, highlighting the importance of Symbolist-Decadent movement and the peculiar concept of time proposed in this memorial narrative. In the latter case, the Memorias are compared with other modernist works: late memoirists as Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Murilo Mendes (besides, in another chapter, Oswald de Andrade's poems) illustrate this critical path. In the "Conclusion", this peculiar conception of time is important to understand this memories as late work (according to the ideas of Edward Said in his book On Late Style). This is intended to describe the insular position of Nava's Memorias in the context of Brazilian Modernism

Abstract:
In this thesis I investigate the narrative rendering of urban experiences and the place of agency within these renderings, looking in particular at the personal stories of urban dwellers. Grounded in anthropological fieldwork in Britain - in the town of Romford (Essex) to the east of London - but also relying on written sources on British social realities, this thesis challenges the idea and practice of a traditional place-based ethnography, calling in turn for an anthropological appreciation of the individual writing of human experience. This I define as the considered ordering of the forms in terms of which individuals experience their lives. I recognise that such ‘writing', conceived as a cognitive pursuit, is possible within speech and not, as some may have it, the exclusive preserve of literary culture. In allowing that individuals may exercise authorship over their lives in this way, I find it is possible, as well as potentially illuminating, to compare individuals' writings, their personal accounts of their lives, with other genres for writing the reality of urban and peri-urban milieux in Britain. I hear significant correspondences between each story-genre, especially as regards the impacts of town planning on urban space for the populations that inhabit it, and discuss the possible theoretical implications of this correspondence. I focus extensively on two such genres in addition to personal stories: the sociological - examining Michael Young and Peter Willmott's sociological classic text ‘Family and Kinship in East London' - and the literary - a reading of the work of English poet and journalist John Betjeman. Running through the thesis is also an appreciation of the figure of the amateur, both as a real actor and as a metaphor for the postmodernist approach to culture to which I also subscribe.

Resumo: O presente estudo está pautado pela possibilidade de leitura da obra cortazariana com base em um aspecto relevante de sua trajetória: a dedicação não apenas à ficção, mas também à crítica. Partindo da poética de Cortázar acerca do conto, surgem algumas metáforas e comparações para definir o gênero e para tratar do ato de narrar. Essas metáforas têm diversas entonações ao longo da obra, configurando não apenas uma recorrência temática que atravessa textos ensaísticos e narrativos, mas também uma contaminação dos registros ficcional e crítico. As referências à fotografia e ao jazz, como parâmetros para a construção literária, são temas de reflexão em ensaios que assumem alguns traços ficcionais e são motivos narrativos em contos perpassados pela dimensão crítica. Os contos assumem o discurso crítico dentro de sua própria estrutura, questionando o ato de narrar; os ensaios, muitas vezes, têm a estratégia argumentativa baseada na constituição de uma imagem e no recurso ao anedótico; os textos que compõem os livros-almanaque transitam entre a ficção, o autobiográfico e o ensaístico. Desse modo, a comparação entre conto e fotografia, discutida em "Algunos aspectos del cuento" (1962), já havia sido ficcionalizada no conto "Las babas del diablo" (1959) e é retomada em "Apocalipsis de Solentiname" (1977) e em "Ventanas a lo insólito (1978); a busca por uma linguagem desautomatizada, proposta no ensaio "Para una poética" (1954), é trabalhada em "Las babas del diablo" e em "Diario para un cuento" (1982); o princípio analógico explicitado em "Para una poética" culmina no conceito de figura - uma nova forma de percepção da realidade e um efeito buscado nos contos -, retomado em "Cristal con una rosa dentro" (1969), texto cujo gênero é difícil definir e que compõe um dos livrosalmanaque cortazarianos; os "takes", propostos em "Melancolía de las maletas" (1967) como parâmetro para a literatura, parecem definir o movimento narrativo de "Las babas del diablo" e de "Diario para un cuento".
Abstract: This work aims at identifying the reading possibilities in Cortázar's works, based on an important aspect of the author?s path: his commitment not only to fiction, but also to literary criticism. From Cortázar's poetics regarding short stories, it is possible to identify metaphors and similes created in order to define the literary genre and to address the narrative act. Such metaphors assume several intonations throughout the author's work, configuring not only the recurrence of themes which is present in essays and narratives, but also the traces of contamination of fictional writings and critiques. The references to photography and to jazz as parameters for the literary construction are the object of analysis in essays that assume some fictional traces and constitute narrative motifs in short stories which span the dimension of criticism. Cortázar's short novels assume the critical discourse in its own structure, questioning the narrative act; the essays, many times, adopt an argumentative strategy based on the constitution of an image and resort to the anecdotal; the texts that compose the "almanac" books shift between fiction, autobiography and essay. Therefore, the comparison between short story and photography, which is discussed in "Algunos aspectos del cuento" (1962), had already been turned into fiction in the short story entitled "Las babas del diablo" (1959) and is discussed again in "Apocalipsis de Solentiname" (1977) and in "Ventanas a lo insólito" (1978); in "Las babas Del diablo" and "Diário para um cuento", Cortázar is in the quest for a language that is not automated, and such quest is also present in the essay "Para una poética" (1954); the analogy principle shown in "Para una poética" reaches its highest point with the concept of figure - a new form of perception of reality and effect which Cortázar looks for in his short stories -, which is recurrent in "Cristal con una rosa dentro" (1969), a text whose genre cannot be easily defined and that is part of one of Cortázar's "almanac" books; the "takes" proposed in "Melancolía de las maletas" (1967) as literary parameter seem to establish the narrative movement in "Las babas del diablo" and "Diario para un cuento".

Abstract:
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'.

Resumo: Esse texto se insere no debate contemporâneo sobre as aproximações entre Kant e Foucault. A relação entre essas duas Filosofias é, ao mesmo tempo, de ruptura e continuidade. Por um lado, o método arqueologia-genealogia levará a resultados que se opõem a muitas teses de Kant sobre o ser humano, o conhecimento e a história. Por outro lado, Foucault não abandona em nenhum momento as fôrmas kantianas de fazer Filosofia e seu método está mergulhado no modelo kantiano e na atitude crítica. Foucault nega o a priori formal, mas afirma um a priori histórico; nega o sujeito transcendental e, consequentemente o idealismo transcendental, mas afirma analogamente um transcendental histórico; inverte categorias kantianas fundamentais e produz algumas de suas principais teses acerca do sujeito moderno. Foucault inverte categorias kantianas, assim como ao longo da história da Filosofia, grandes pensadores subverteram seus mestres criativamente. Foucault assume a atitude crítica, adota o modelo da Filosofia transcendental, usando, portanto, as fôrmas de Kant, contudo, troca o seu conteúdo. Nossa tese caracteriza o que o próprio Michel Foucault indicou como sendo sua filiação kantiana; isto é, se este se inscreve de alguma forma na tradição filosófica, o é na tradição crítica de Kant. Procuramos examinar que tipo de filiação é essa em uma perspectiva de compreensão do como e com o quê essa Filosofia foi produzida. Trabalhamos durante todo o tempo com a hipótese de que o kantismo de Foucault é um exemplo digno de nota de uma relação criativa (e não subserviente) de um filósofo com sua tradição. A elaboração de nossa hipótese e a chegada aos resultados só foi possível podendo considerar toda a obra foucaultiana a partir de uma dada leitura da obra de Kant feita por Z. Loparic. A tese de Loparic é de que a Filosofia de Kant é uma semântica transcendental. À luz dessa interpretação de Kant - especialmente, de uma releitura das teorias do conceito e da verdade, em que aparece o conceito de domínio de interpretação - é que se tornou possível uma leitura adequada da extensão e do tipo de kantismo de Foucault, especialmente no que tange ao conceito de epistémê. A tese percorre o caminho que vai da leitura que Foucault faz de Kant, da maneira como Foucault usa Kant e da indicação do método e alguns de seus operadores conceituais, sempre em relação a Kant. Defendemos que ambas as Filosofias (kantiana e foucaultiana) são filosofias críticas e são semânticas transcendentais, carecendo a segunda, para ser mais bem definida, de um adjetivo: uma semântica transcendental histórica. Como pano de fundo das ideias aqui apresentadas está nosso tema de maior interesse: a produção de Filosofia e as possíveis relações do filósofo com a tradição de pensamento filosófico ocidental. Foucault com Kant é um exemplo elucidativo para se compreender tal produção e uma das maneiras de sua efetivação
Abstract: This text is applicable to the contemporary debate on the similarities between Kant and Foucault. The relationship between these two philosophies is one of both rupture and continuity. On one hand, the archaeological-genealogical approach produces results that contradict many of Kant¿s studies on the human being, knowledge and history. On the other hand, Foucault by no means abandons the Kantian models to produce Philosophy, and his method dives into the Kantian model and the critical attitude. Foucault denies the formal a priori, but affirms the historical a priori; in other words, he denies the transcendental subject and, as a consequence, the transcendental idealism, but analogically affirms a "transcendental-historical". He inverts Kantian ideas and produces some of his principal works on the modern subject. Foucault changes the Kantian categories, just as throughout the history of Philosophy, great thinkers creatively overturned their masters. Foucault is critical in his attitude, adopting the transcendental philosophy model. He does, however, use Kant¿s molds, although with altered content. Our thesis characterizes what Michel Foucault himself indicated as being his Kantian affiliation; namely, if in some way it applies to the philosophical tradition, it will apply to Kant¿s critical tradition. The objective here is to examine what type of affiliation this is, from a perspective of understanding how and with what this philosophy was produced. The hypothesis adopted in this study gives that Foucault¿s Kantianism is a noteworthy example of a creative relationship (and one that is not subservient) between a philosopher and his tradition. It was only possible to elaborate this hypothesis and reach the achieved results by considering the complete work of Foucaultian, by studying Z. Loparic¿s interpretation of Kant¿s work. According to Loparic¿s thesis, Kant¿s philosophy is a transcendental semantic. In light of Kant¿s interpretation ¿ particularly from the re-creation of the theories of concept and truth, in which appears the concept of the domain of interpretation - it was possible to thoroughly study the extension and type of Foucault¿s Kantianism, particularly in terms of the episteme concept. The thesis follows the theory that emerges from Foucault¿s interpretation of Kant, in the way that Foucault uses Kant, the indication of the method and some of its conceptual operators, always in relation to Kant. The present study defends the argument that both Philosophies (Kantian and Foucaultian) are critical and transcendental semantics; the second, in order to be better defined, requires an adjective: a transcendental-historical semantic. The backdrop to the ideas presented in this study is the subject of greatest interest: the production of philosophy and the possible relationships between the philosopher and the tradition of western philosophical thinking. Foucault together with Kant is a clear example that can be used to understand this production and one of the ways that it can be effective

Abstract:
L’objet de ce travail est d’analyser les différentes formes de généalogie qui scandent l’itinéraire foucaldien de pensée. Si l’on appelle généalogie la démarche consistant à remettre en cause la prétention de certains discours à l’autonomie, discours de savoir, discours moraux, politiques ou esthétiques, en les ancrant dans des rapports de force au sein desquels ils se constituent, alors il s’agit en effet de montrer que la pensée foucaldienne est de bout en bout animée par un effort généalogique. Il s’agit, par une analyse s’efforçant de ressaisir dans leur détail, leur singularité et leur enchaînement, les différents dispositifs généalogiques successivement mobilisés par Foucault, de montrer que sa pensée ne cesse, explicitement ou non, de se confronter au schème généalogique, de se heurter aux problèmes qu’il pose, d’en proposer des élaborations déterminées, d’entrer à cette fin en débat avec d’autres modèles de généalogie, et de se livrer à de multiples reconfigurations.Ce travail doit ainsi permettre de faire apparaître la généalogie, non plus comme une sorte de méthode générale bien connue, caractérisant une simple « période » de la pensée foucaldienne, mais comme un schème spécifique, fondamental pour comprendre les formes et les évolutions si singulières de cette pensée. Mais il doit également, en faisant apparaître l’œuvre foucaldienne comme un véritable laboratoire pour la généalogie, permettre de mettre en évidence que celle-ci déborde largement la pensée de Foucault ou même celle de Nietzsche, et constitue un des schèmes principaux innervant la pensée depuis Kant, celui permettant sans doute les remises en question les plus radicales, mais aussi celui dont, paradoxalement, l’évidence est la moins questionnée. Une étude des généalogies foucaldiennes doit ainsi pouvoir initier, dans son mouvement même, une réflexion générale sur les formes susceptibles d’être prises par le motif généalogique et sur les types de problèmes qu’il pose. Elle a l’ambition de poser les premières bases d’une épistémologie de la généalogie ou encore d’une grammaire généalogique, préalable indispensable au renouvellement de ce schème si singulier
The purpose of this work is to analyze the different forms of genealogy that mark the Foucauldian path of thought. If we call genealogy the process of challenging the claim of certain discourses to autonomy, knowledge discourses, moral, political or aesthetic discourses, by anchoring them in the power relations within which they are constituted, then it is indeed a question of showing that Foucault's thought is animated from beginning to end by a genealogical effort. It is a question, by an analysis trying to describe and understand in their detail, their singularity and their sequence, the different genealogical devices successively mobilized by Foucault, to show that his thought doesn’t stop, explicitly or not, to confront the genealogical scheme, to confront the problems it poses, to propose specific elaborations, to enter for this purpose into debate with other models of genealogy, and to engage in multiple reconfigurations.This work should thus make it possible to reveal genealogy, no longer as a kind of well-known general method, characterizing a simple "period" of Foucaultan thought, but as a specific scheme, fundamental to understand the very singular forms and evolutions of this thought. But it must also, by making the Foucault's work appear to be a true laboratory for genealogy, make it possible to highlight that this approach goes well beyond the thinking of Foucault or even that of Nietzsche, and constitutes one of the main schemes innervating thought since Kant, the one that undoubtedly allows the most radical questioning, but also the one whose evidence is paradoxically the least questioned. A study of Foucauldian genealogies must thus be able to initiate, in its very movement, a general reflection on the forms that can be taken by the genealogical motif and on the types of problems it poses. It aims to lay the first foundations of an epistemology of genealogy or a genealogical grammar, an essential prerequisite for the renewal of this unique scheme

Abstract:
Nesta tese investigo o discurso pedagógico, a partir do corpus, constituído de textos produzidos por alunos da disciplina “Laboratório de Escrita”, ministrada em uma universidade pública rio-grandense, em um curso da área de ciências exatas, nos anos de 2002, 2003 e 2004. A problematização da relação entre a prática da escrita e a constituição das identidades dos sujeitos-alunos, enfocada na análise discursiva, estende-se à perspectiva identitária docente, mediante a teorização da experiência narrada e explicitação da posição assumida no discurso pedagógico. Busca-se aprofundar a reflexão do modo como o discurso pedagógico, especificamente no que se refere à produção textual, implica a consitituição de identidades. A pesquisa se situa nas áreas da Análise de Discurso e da Educação, apoiando-se na linha discursiva de M. Pêcheux, E. Orlandi e autores afins, buscando ainda subsídios nos estudos educacionais de origem foucaultiana e em outros autores. Com base no referencial discursivo, descrevo o discurso pedagógico como um discurso autoritário e homogeneizante, no qual, entretanto, pode irromper o gesto de interpretação do sujeito. A análise do corpus mostra os ecos do discurso pedagógico da referida disciplina na qual foram produzidos os textos, cujo propósito era dar condições aos alunos de realizarem deslocamentos de sentidos através da escrita. Na produção desses textos, os alunos assumiram diferentes posicionamentos, dando visibilidade à heterogeneidade do discurso e dos sujeitos. Na análise das seqüências discursivas compreendidas nos textos enfocados, foram evidenciados alguns efeitos de sentidos que indicam os modos como, no processo de textualização, o sujeito assume a posição-autor: ironia e incerteza; efeitos de fechamento do texto; efeitos de sentidos de concordância e de discordância nos posicionamentos discursivos; efeitos de sentido de jogo dos sentidos e jogo da língua. No movimento analítico entre descrição e interpretação, considero adjetivos, advérbios e pronomes como marcas lingüísticas, cujo funcionamento discursivo indica os posicionamentos dos alunos, as suas identificações e contra-identificações às memórias discursivas representadas nos textos. O corpus permite entrever ressonâncias do discurso pedagógico que assumiu a primazia no ensino da escrita, cuja característica é a ênfase nacorreção gramatical e ortográfica. Concluo que a escola pode ser perspectivada como espaço intervalar, lugar de interpretação. Este ponto de vista teórico considera a heterogeneidade do sujeito e do discurso e a língua como lugar do equívoco, condições necessárias para escrita como prática de autoria.
This work, based on the French theory of Discourse Analysis, investigates the relationships between pedagogic discourse and the written productions of graduate students, trying to identify the effects of written texts on the constitution of their identities. The corpus consists of texts written by students of a Course of Engineering of a public university of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in a graduate course entitled “Laboratory of Writing”, during two years. The research is based on the works of Pêcheux (1990, 1993, 1995), Orlandi (1987, 1988, 1996, 2002a) and Foucault (2001, 2002) mainly. From this point of view, the pedagogic discourse is described as a authoritarian and homogeneous discourse which can be broken by “interpretation gestures” (ORLANDI, 1996).The analysis of the texts written by these students considered the presence of linguistic elements as adjectives, adverbs and pronouns, which, according to the linguistic theory, mark discursive positions taken by the students. The analysis gives visibility to interpretation process as a result of the pedagogic work developed in the activities of the course, which used to emphasize the production of meaning. It also gives visibility to interpretation and to identificatory processes emerging on the texts which I suppose is due to the pedagogic discourse of the “Laboratory of Writing”, which emphasized the practices of reading and writing as significant practices. From this point of view subjects and discourse are not homogeneous. I analyze the school practices of writing, the relations of power which characterize the actors of the pedagogic process, considering these relations can be transformed, being the school a place where the students can produce meanings and constitute their identities. I interpretate the textual and grammatical disorganization which can be perceived in a great number of texts written by students as “echos” of the dominant pedagogic discourse practiced in school, which mainly emphasizes the rules of grammar and the correct orthography. This research also intends, in a great extension, to theorize about the teaching of writing in school, starting from a point of view which considers the heterogeneity as being constitutive of subjects and of discourse.

Full text
Abstract:
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 eux
This 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

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 2019
Set 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.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
This research report explores the link between the novels of Ingrid Winterbach / Lettie Viljoen, a third culture and the neo-Victorian novel. The study is therefore situated within the cultural-philosophical framework of a third culture, which implies that the two cultures of science and literature do not function as separate disciplines, but as an organic unit. Researchers in the interdiscipline of literature and science identify the Age of Science (1879–1914) – including the Victorian era (1837–1901) – as a historical period where the existence of such a third culture was observed. This period was characterised by numerous scientific discoveries, and Darwin’s theory of evolution generated heated debates in Victorian society. Nineteenth-century literature (and specifically the Victorian novel) therefore reflects the spirit of an age where the interaction between science and literature was particularly evident. In our information-driven society, the focus is once again on scientific discovery and dissemination of knowledge, prompting social critics to typify the current period as “neo-” or “retro-Victorian”. The contemporary imagination still problematises Darwin’s theory of evolution, and fiction such as Winterbach’s therefore not only renegotiates the fixed modernistic boundaries between science and literature, but also revisits the nineteenth- century genres simptomatic of a similar third culture. Winterbach’s novels (1984–2006) display a distinctive predisposition towards natural history and Darwinistic principles and are therefore postmodern adaptations of nineteenth-century conventions. Darwinistic concepts such as growth, metamorphosis,transformation, evolution and the origin, naming and extinction of species are therefore accentuated. Winterbach’s fictionalisation of a nineteenth-century worldview can be linked to the work of her ancestors in the Afrikaans literary tradition, Eugène Marais and C. Louis Leipoldt (both amateur scientists). Her popularisation of scientific knowledge and revisitation of Victorian codes also link her to a neo-Victorian novelistic movement (a contemporary permutation of the Victorian tradition). Her oeuvre therefore also displays similarities to that of her British contemporary, A.S. Byatt, a prominent neo-Victorian novelist. An exploration of the natural world in this tradition, however, also implies an exploration of supernatural spheres, a trend which is equally evident in texts by congeners such as (George) Eliot, Marais, Leipoldt, Winterbach and Byatt.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
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.
