Full textThe aim of this study is to demonstrate the multiple subjective and human\'s experiences of deaf people and their singular ways of living, feeling and reflecting life. To answer the guiding question \"how do deaf people observe and interpret the world?, I have subdivided the interviews narratives into four topics: 1) Family; 2) Deaf Community; 3) Education; 4) Social Representation of Deafness and Deaf People. And the notes taken from the field material, the following topics: 1) Deaf Culture; 2) Accessibility; 3) Body Language. In this structure I have sought theoretical support from Lane (1992) based on his description and reflection on american deaf culture, serving as comparison to the brazilian deaf culture. Five deaf interlocutors have participated in the interviews. As the chosen method, I decided to use the narratives, Benjamin (1985) from the interlocutors\' life experiences, obtained from the interviews and the notes taken from the field material. To transcribe/translate the interviews, Brito (1995) presented herself as an important interlocutor in the field of the Linguistic, in order to substantiate the transcription of the system set out in Sign Language. The final considerations have been elaborated based on the field s of A nthropology ( Augé, 1997; 1999) ; Sociology ( Bauman, 2003; 2005); Psychoanalysis ( Safra, 2006; 2009) and Deaf Studies ( Strobel, 2009; Quadros, 2007) . The subjective development ; the diverse lifes experience; the world of relationships with other s ; the different cultural precepts that lead their lives ; individual and universal aspects of their stories ; the contact with art, poetry , spirituality and with the different possibilities of human expression , among others things , are indicative that lead us to understand the singular way that each one of the interlocutors observe and interpret the world

Full textThis thesis examines ideals of masculinity and the male body in ancient Greek art and literature, and in contemporary advertising and mass-media publications. Persistent themes concerning what is ideally masculine affect the way men perceive their bodies, and ultimately, themselves. I argue that such ideals are visible in the way men present their bodies and personal attributes to others in online public forums using photos, text, and other media. In order to discover how some men view their bodies and to observe the way in which they present them to others, this thesis will analyze existing photos and written texts posted on an online public website, MySpace.com. The large and diverse membership of MySpace.com makes it an excellent place to observe ideals of masculinity and the male body operating in individual men at the vernacular level.

Full textO presente estudo constituiu-se como uma investigação de possíveis intercessões entre as experiências dadas pelo erotismo, a mística e a poesia, essa última entendida dentro do contexto grego de poiésis que extrapola os limites do gênero literário, caracterizando-se principalmente como experiência estética de uso consciente da língua. O direcionamento teórico principal foi dado pelo pensamento de Georges Bataille, para quem tanto o amor- paixão quanto a mística religiosa e a poesia são experiências limites de alteridade que revelam a existência de um movimento dialético (sem síntese) entre os interditos que fundam o corpo social e a transgressão dessas mesmas leis. Nosso estudo buscou explorar as intercessões entre as formas de erotismo que Bataille analisa - o erotismo dos corpos, dos corações e sagrado - e a poesia, que o autor menciona como uma quarta forma de erotismo sem desenvolver argumentação mais precisa. Desta forma, nossa hipótese é que possa ser aplicado à poesia, senão todas, algumas das principais características que Bataille aponta no erotismo, definido por ele como experiência em que o ser se põe em questão. A reflexão das questões propostas por Bataille exigiu que fossem abordadas as especificidades da experiência religiosa na contemporaneidade, e a discussão de alguns conceitos da ciência da religião, como por exemplo, uma definição de sagrado que pudesse ser aplicado não apenas a experiências religiosas institucionalizadas, algumas reflexões sobre o pensamento mítico-religioso e a compreensão do caráter primitivamente sagrado da linguagem e do mito. A partir da compreensão da importância do mito para o pensamento mágico-religioso e da constatação de que o mesmo constitui-se a linguagem apropriada para comunicação com as instâncias do sagrado, formulamos a hipótese que a poesia pudesse ser interpretada, em uma sociedade desencantada como a nossa, enquanto solução de continuidade para o mito, sendo ela intrinsecamente religiosa, no sentido em que propõe um salto para fora dos limites do interdito em direção às forças anímicas do sagrado, esse entendido no contexto batailliano. Tencionando clarificar hipóteses e argumentos, foi tomada para um estudo de caso a obra da poeta mineira Adélia Prado, onde foram apontadas e discutidas as relações entre erotismo, mística, palavra poética, sagrado e morte.
The present study was constituted as an investigation of possible intercessions among the experiences given by the eroticism, mystic and poetry, understood in the Greek context of poiésis that extrapolates the limits of the literary gender, being characterized mainly as aesthetic experience of use conscious of language. The main theoretical approachly was given by Georges Bataille s thought, for who as much the love-passion as the religious mystic and poetry are limits experiences of otherlity that reveal the existence of a movement dialectic (without synthesis) among the injunctions that found the social body and the transgression of those same laws. Our study looked for explore the intercessions among the eroticism`s forms that Bataille analyzes - the eroticism of bodies, of hearts and sacred - and the poetry, that the author mentions as one Wednesday forms of eroticism without developing more necessary argument. Our hypothesis is that it can be applied to the poetry, or else all, some of the main characteristics that Bataille appears in the eroticism, defined for him as experience in that the being puts in subject. The reflection of the subjects proposed by Bataille demanded that the specificity`s of the religious experience were approached in the contemporanity, as well as the discussion of some concepts of the science of the religion, as for instance, a definition of sacred that it could not just be applied to institutionalized religious experiences, some reflections on the thought mythical-religious person and the understanding of the primitive character sacred of language and of myth. Starting from the understanding of the importance of the myth for the thought magic-religious person and of the verification that the same is constituted the appropriate language for communication with the instances of the sacred, we formulated the hypothesis the poetry to be interpreted, in a society disenchanted as ours, while continuity solution for the myth, being her religious, in the sense in that it proposes a jump outside of the limits of the injunction towards the psychic forces of the sacred, that understood in the context batailliano. Intending to clarify hypotheses and arguments, it was taken for a case study the work of the poet Adélia Prado, where they were pointed and discussed the relationships among eroticism, mystic, word poetic, sacred and death.

Full textThe World Trade Organisation (WTO) deals with regulation of trade in goods, services and intellectual property between participating countries by providing a framework for negotiating trade agreements.1 Furthermore, it has implemented a dispute resolution process aimed at enforcing participants' adherence to WTO agreements. Ideally, all WTO member states have ‘a level playing field’ in terms of access and equal rights under the dispute settlement mechanism. Disputes should be resolved in a fair and impartial manner. However, the WTO’s DSS has been criticised for being undemocratic, non-transparent and accountable to none. 2

Full textThis thesis examines that basic assumption in the light of the 18 ecclesiological references to soma found in the Pauline corpus. We argue that such an assumption is implausible and we conclude that it is simply the human body (any human body) which acts as a metaphorical signifier for the church; further, that Christ's personal body, crucified and risen, becomes relevant only in a larger Christological and soteriological sense.
