Full textSpecifically, in considering the function of expression I reflect both upon the coherent discourse that derives from the (exterior) verbalization of (interior) thought and emotion, and upon the objectives and consequences of such expressions of the mental and emotional states of the individual. Secondly, I focus attention on the same verbal discourse inasmuch as it reflects the complex function of communication manifested in both an immanent and in a transcendental form. Such complexity derives from the fact that, if verbal discourse here is enunciated either in isolation or before an interiorized addressee (a fictional being), it is always emitted in the "presence" of an external addressee (the theatre audience/or reader). Finally, my study of the function of persuasion underscores the idea of empowerment: the authority of the word that is wielded by the monologist upon his/her addressee(s), a verbal manipulation that takes place both within the fictional world and beyond.
In short, this thesis seeks to show how the monologue as a fictional dramatic genre questions the viability of interpersonal relationships.

Full textPh.D.
Lack of understanding regarding the role that temporality-pathos plays in Asian American literature leads scholars to misread many textual passages as deviations from the implied authors’ political critiques. This dissertation invites scholars to recognize temporality-focused passages in Younghill Kang’s East Goes West, Carlos Bulosan’s America is in the Heart, and John Okada’s No-No Boy, as part of a pathos formula developed by avant-garde Asian American writers to resist systemic alienations experienced by Asian Americans by diagnosing and treating America’s empathy gap. I find that each of pathae examined – the pathos of finitude, the pathos of idealism, and the pathos of confusion – appears in each of the major primary texts discussed, and that these pathae not only invite similitude-based empathy from a wide readership, but also prompt, via multiple methods, the expansion of empathy. First, the authors use these pathae diagnostically: the pathos of finitude makes visible American imperialism’s destruction of prior ways of life; the pathos of idealism exposes the falsity of the futures promised by liberalism; and the pathos of confusion counters the destructive nationalisms that fractured the era. Second, the authors use these temporality pathae to identify the instrumentalist reasoning underlying these capitalist ideologies and to show how they stunt American empathy. Third, the authors deploy formal and thematic complexities that cultivate empathy-generating faculties of mind and cultivate alternative forms of reasoning.

Resumo: A partir de meados década de 1950, momento em que a música serial entra em uma profunda crise, constatamos o surgimento de novas poéticas na música contemporânea. Como resultado, além de um cenário estilisticamente heterogêneo - fruto da ausência de um sistema musical em comum - testemunhamos no âmbito da composição musical uma retomada da expressividade. Isso ocorreu porque desde meados da segunda metade do século XIX - a partir da emergência de uma estética da música de cunho formalista - o ceticismo emotivo que inicialmente estava limitado ao debate estético foi, a partir da década de 1920, tomado como cerne de algumas práticas composicionais, especialmente naquelas de índole serial. Entretanto, antes de a criação musical contemporânea voltar a se dedicar à expressividade, houve, a partir da década de 1940, uma revisão de ordem estética tanto da tese formalista como da própria tese expressiva. Tal revisão mostrou-se fundamental na consolidação de uma nova ideia de expressividade musical, que por sua vez substanciou novos patamares técnicos e estilísticos para uma composição musical afetivamente orientada. Nestes termos, além de uma profunda modificação do papel da harmonia, constatamos o surgimento de uma nova noção de timbre, agora não mais limitado a um simples parâmetro, uma vez que alçado à condição de material musical, e desta feita suscetível a todas as ações previstas por uma escritura musical plena. No âmbito da música vocal, soma-se ainda uma profunda modificação ... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: From the mid-1950s, a moment when serial music enters a deep crisis, we can detect the emergence of new poetics in terms of contemporary music. As a result, in addition to a stylistically heterogeneous scenario - due to the absence of a common musical system - we observed, in the context of musical composition, a resumption of the issue of expressiveness. Such resumption came to happen due to the fact that, since the mid-second half of the nineteenth century - from the emergence of a formalist aesthetic of music - the emotive skepticism, initially restricted to the aesthetic debate, had been taken as the core of some compositional practices, especially those of a serial nature, from the 1920s on. However, before the contemporary musical composition went back to the issue of expressiveness, a revision of the aesthetic order of both the formalist and the expressive thesis took place as of the 1940s. Such revision proved to be fundamental in the consolidation of a new idea of musical expressivity. These new ideas substantiated new technical and stylistic dimensions of an affectively oriented musical composition. In these terms, in addition to an in-depth modification of the role of harmony, we see the emergence of a new notion of timbre, no longer limited to a simple parameter, now raised to the condition of a musical material, and thus susceptible to all actions supported by a full musical writing (écriture). In terms of vocal music, an in-depth modification of the role and tre... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
