Liljestrand, Eva. "Kristusgestaltning i Narnia och Härskarringen." Thesis, University of Gävle, Ämnesavdelningen för religionsvetenskap, 2006. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-3817.
Full textAbstract:
Syftet med föreliggande uppsats var att, genom litteraturstudier av C. S. Lewis Narnia-serie samt J. R. R. Tolkiens Härskarringen, undersöka förekomsten av kristusgestaltning i nämnda litteratur. Genom att studera nämnda verk var avsikten även att undersöka de eventuella kristna influenser som återspeglar författarnas egen tro och närmare studera de tänkbara paralleller med Bibelns Kristus som förekommer. Utifrån de analyser som görs av texterna i arbetet blir slutsatsen att även om det finns klara influenser från Bibelns Kristusgestalt kan man inte i båda böckerna se en klar kristusgestalt. När det gäller Härskarringen finns där inte en klart framträdande Kristus även om de kristna influenserna är många. När det gäller Narnia är de kristna influenserna tydligare och parallellerna med Kristus framträder klarare.

Full textAbstract:
This essay seeks to investigate identity formation and the role of the oriental other, the Calormene, in C.S. Lewis popular children’s books, The Chronicles of Narnia, as well as the threat levelled at Narnia and what it constitutes. The oriental other as a threatening corruption is a common image in European colonial discourse, therefore a brief summary on post-colonial theory and critique thereupon and a background on the occidental attitude towards the discursive Orient based mainly on Orientalism by Edward W. Said, as well as a short account of Emile Durkheims theory on social divisions of labour and identity formation in groups is provided in the first theoretical section, Images of the Other. In the second section the Narnian identity and what it is composed of is examined. Here I argue that the Narnian identity is connected to an ideal and primordial English identity. This is shown primarily through the linking of Narnian nature and food with the English countryside and its “plain food”. Consequently, food in the Narnian space possesses a great power. The food of the Other corrupts while the hearty Narnian or English food holds the power to redeem those corrupted. The third section is dedicated to the threat against Narnia. This is composed mainly of Calormenes and Witches, both of which are described to be ancient and whose evil, I argue, nonetheless is an eventual consequence of rational thinking and modernity. In the fourth section the Calormene, the Other in Narnia, is examined. The Calormene society is inextricably linked to slavery, which is portrayed as the utmost consequence of rationality, and characterized by its spiritual poverty. This section also discusses how the Narnian can be corrupted and turned “Other”.

Denna uppsats är en analys av Narnias berättelse och dess underliggande budskap. I dennaundersökning har det undersökts hur Bibeln och kristen tro framkommer i Narnias berättelse.Detta arbete handlar också om den kritik Lewis fått för hur han framställer landet Carlormen,islam, kvinnor och hur den kritiken kan bemötas. Denna undersökning är en litteraturstudieoch för att få svar på frågeställningarna har en hermeneutisk metod använts. Genom attstudera och tolka Narnias berättelser och texter så kan vi se att kristen tro framkommer tydligtom vi är inställda på att leta efter dessa kopplingar. Slutsatsen är att det finns många argumentsom grund för den kritik som Lewis har fått för att skriva både islamofobiskt ochkvinnoförnedrande, men att det samtidigt också finns mycket som talar emot dessa argument.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen analyserar C.S. Lewis bok Narnia - Häxan och Lejonet (1950), översatt av Birgitta Hammar (1959 publicerad av bokförlaget Bonnier Carlsen (2016) och Andrew Adamssons film med samma namn (2005). Syftet med studien är att studera vad som händer gällande karaktärer, miljö och tema i Narnias - Häxan och Lejonet, när en adaption sker mellan bok och film. Analysens resultat är att boken och filmen är två likvärdiga medier med minimala skillnader. De största skillnaderna som framgår är att filmen enbart har indirekta miljöbeskrivning, samt att man arbetat med ansiktsuttryck och musik för att förstärka vissa känslor i filmen. I undervisningssammanhang är Narnia - Häxan och Lejonet en lämplig berättelse att arbeta med, men valet av verk bör baseras på vad syftet med undervisning är.

Kempton, Emily Rose. "Hope for Susan: Moral Imagination in The Chronicles of Narnia." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2016. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/5989.
Full textAbstract:
The fate of Susan Pevensie has been one of the most controversial and interesting topics of debate about The Chronicles of Narnia since readers realized that she was no longer a friend of Narnia. Many critics have condemned C. S. Lewis for being sexist, thus making the stereotypically feminine Susan with her love of parties, nylons, and lipstick ineligible for salvation. This thesis proposes to look at Susan's choices and fate from the perspective of moral imagination. It argues that Lewis did not bar Susan from heaven to belittle femininity, but rather to comment on the consequences of choice, belief, and the vital exercise of moral imagination. Placing Susan in a fairy-tale world highlights the differences between what is real and what seems impossible and pushes both Susan and the readers to develop their own moral imagination in the pursuit of belief in the truth. Looking at Susan's ambiguous fate and comparing her story to other characters' journeys throughout the series shows readers the power of the imagination and offers hope that Susan, like the rest of her siblings, may make it to Aslan's Country after all.

Full textAbstract:
Cette these porte sue l'education telle qu'elle est traditionnellement dispensee dans ma famille et sur les apprentissages auxquels le jeune forgeron est soumis. La difficulte en est que ceux-ci depassent de tres loin le domaine de la technologie artisanale. Tout d'abord il y a le travail du metal pour les hommes, celui de l'argile pour les femmes. Mais les forgerons ont aussi pour specialite de tailler le bois. Grace a leur amitie avec les djinns, ils sont devins et voyants. Ces dons leur ont permi la constitution d'une veritable medecine, et cela fait d'eux non seulement des guerisseurs, mais aussi des magiciens redoutables. Pour renouveler constamment les alliances avec les morts et les esprits de l'autre monde; ils procedent a des rites. Lors des funerailles ils sont amenes a faire office de genealogistes. Ils dirigent les initiatives des jeunes, les hommes s'occupent des circoncisions et les femmes des excisions. Ils sont les pretres de la societe initiatique du komo. Enfin, ils sont charges des mediations dans les mariages et dans les conflits villageois. Le but de ce travail est de montrer comment les enfants sont associes a ces differentes taches et fonctions de leurs parentsThis thesis studies how education is traditionally transmitted in my family and the apprenticeship served by young forger. The instruction given, however, goes for beyond the bounds of craft technology. Firstly, for the men there is metal work and for the women, pottery. But they are also both specialised in wood carving. Due to their friendship with the djinns, the forgers are soothsayers or seers. Talents which have lead them to constitute medecine, thus giving them not only the quality of healers but also of formidable magicians. To constantly renew bonds between the dead and spirits from the other world the forgers carry out rites. During funerals they are called upon to act as genealogists. They direct the initiation of the young : the men take charge of circumcision, the women, of excision. They are the priests of the secret initiatory society known as the komo. Lastly, they mediate during marriages and village conflicts. The aim of this piece of work is to show how the children are associated with the different roles and tasks of their parents

Full textAbstract:
In thesis thesis, studies associated with the rehabilitation of the Malatya-Narli No: 7 Railroad Tunnel are presented.
The rehabilitation work includes cleaning of two collapses and stopping of deformations occurring in the tunnel as well as characterizing the rock-mass by evaluating the cores obtained from 67 drill holes. Due to two collapses ocurred in the tunnel a large sinkhole (15x10x20 meters) was developed at the surface and the tunnel closed to train traffic for 10 months (September, 2002-July, 2003) covering the initiation of Iraq War.
Originally, the tunnel had been opened into the paleo-landslide material in 1930. The rock-mass surrounding the tunnel consists of limestones, metavolcanics, and schists.
Although the main problem in the tunnel is the reduced tunnel span caused by displacements triggerred by underground water, poor rock mass and time dependent deformations, from engineering point of view the other problems can be sited as collapses occurred in the tunnel, sinkhole devoloped at the surface and unstable sections existing in the tunnel.
During the field studies, 15 deformation monitoring stations were installed aimed at determining the deviation from tunnel alignment. In order to provide stability of the tunnel Self Drilling Anchors (Mai bolts) were installed systematically around the tunnel. The details of the rock reinforcement design was presented in this thesis.

Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011MON30074.
Full textAbstract:
Mon travail de recherche consiste à comparer les formes du merveilleux dans deux oeuvres, génériquement, culturellement et linguistiquement tout à fait distinctes et qui pourtant ne sont pas sans liens. Le roman de Jaufré est un roman arthurien écrit en occitan probablement au début du XIIIème siècle, tandis que les Narty Kaddžytæ sont le trésor dupeuple ossète, légendes recueillies aux XIXème et XXème siècles auprès des conteurs (kadæggændžytæ) et publiées notamment par des savants tels que Vs. Miller et V.I. Abaev. G. Dumézil a montré combien le cycle des Nartes, bien que rapporté par la tradition orale, s’enracinait très profondément dans le passé au-delà du peuple ossète lui-même. Dansles légendes de ce petit peuple, dernier locuteur d’une langue nord-est iranienne (la branche scythique), on retrouve maintes accointances avec les coutumes et croyances des Scythes, tels que décrits par Hérodote. [etc.]My research concentrates on the comparison of the shapes taken by ‘merveilleux’ motives in two works truly different as far as literary genres, cultural and linguistic backgrounds are concerned, and yet not totally lacking connections.The roman de Jaufré is an Arthurian romance written in Occitan, probably from the beginning of the XIIIth century, while the Narty Kaddžytæ (Nart legends) are the treasure of Ossetian people, legends collected during the XIXth and XXth centuries from kadæggændžytæ (oral storytellers), and published by Russian, Ossetian or European scholars such as Vs. Miller, V.I. Abaev. Miller and later Dumézil proved how the Nart Legends, though coming from oral tradition, was rooted in a past far beyond the ethnogenesis of the Ossetian people. A lot of striking connections are to be found between the epic of these people - last speakers of a language from the Northeast Iranian group (or Scythian branch) - and the habits or the faith ofthe Scythian people, such as Herodote described them.

Full textAbstract:
There is much written history for the military professional to read, but little is of value to his education. While many works are often wonderful reading, they are too broad or narrow in scope, often lacking the context to be used for serious study by professional soldiers. This work was written with two audiences in mind; my colleagues in the academic world, along with my many comrades who are professional soldiers. The present work was originally conceived as a contribution to historical literature on the subject of military education. More specifically, it was to be an exploration of the concept of operational art and the manner in which planning was doctrinally conducted to articulate battle on the Eastern Front in the Second World War. Any study of war devoid of the theory and doctrine of the period would be of little use to academics and military professionals alike. By the same token, it is often necessary for an author to relate the unfamiliar feelings of combat to a reader in order to give the perspective needed to understand war. Military professionals should study history to become better decision makers. Peter Paret best explained the role of history in relation to military professionals or historians when he said, “ By opening up the past for us, history added to the fund of knowledge that we can acquire directly and also made possible universal concepts and generalizations across time. To enable history to do this, the historian must be objective or as Clausewitz would have said- "as scientific or philosophical as possible.” Decision making must be looked at through the lens of what Clausewitz called “critical analysis." Clausewitz sought to answer the question of “why” something happened in terms of cause and effect. A decisions being examined can only be understood if we know something of the character of the man who made it. These thoughts together provide the foundation on which greater understanding of the art and science of war is built, thus giving the military professional the tools to deconstruct a decision in terms of the problem historically in time and space. This facilitates a greater appreciation and understanding of his trade. The “reenacting process” allows scholars and professional soldiers to reconstruct problems in terms of the terrain and material used during the period; giving a clearer view into the heart of the problem. As students of the art and science of war, we must make every effort to morally, mentally and physically put ourselves in a position to understand why leaders made the decisions they did. While the sheer terror of combat can never be properly replicated, our studies must find a way to understand them. The English language, or any language for that matter has a poor ability to explain in words, written or spoken, the horror of war. War is not just the extension of policy by other means, it is a societal interaction where human beings struggle within the phenomenon called war. We must understand war to be a human activity, thus a social affair. Grasping human emotions, we see events capable of motivating or terrifying combatants in the lonely hours with the extreme violence typical of combat. In this light, we correctly educate ourselves about the true nature of war. War studied at the strategic, operational or tactical-levels should always consider decisions made, particularly in terms of their moral, mental and physical properties. Common elements to the offense or defense are the weather and terrain being fought on. While the weather will ultimately affect each differently, weather has the ability to complicate terrain in ways man to this day cannot conquer. The following pages reflect a military professional’s understanding of the events at Leningrad, Narva and Sinimäed from 68 years ago. Understanding of these events was achieved through German plan for Operation BLAU. An examination of this and other operational-level documents has yielded a tremendous understanding of how the Germans envisioned the retrograde of their forces into the Baltic states. It brings the author joy to know this work can be used to explain the monumental events and sacrifices of others. To this end, I have made my finest attempt.

Full textAbstract:
Oil shale industry in Estonia is looking at other mining technologies as alternative to strip mining and room and pillar mining methods. One such alternative to the room and pillar method is the punch-longwall mining method. Enefit Kaevandused AS, one of the major oil shale companies in Estonia, plans to employ this technology in exploiting some of its resources in the near future. This thesis examines the different stability problems related to the planned punch-longwall mining project in Narva oil shale mine. Determining optimal chain pillar dimensions and stability of the punch-longwall highwall slope are the main objectives of this project. Rock mechanical analyses have been done and recommendations are made based on the rock mechanical aspect of the mining process. Taavi Lõhmuste is responsible for the chain pillar stability analysis and Ott Oisalu for the punch-longwall highwall slope stability analysis. It is essential to understand the geology of a certain area in order to make accurate stability assessments. Because of the previously stated requirements, the geology of Estonian oil shale deposit is examined in the first part of the thesis in order to determine the geological and rock mechanical conditions to set the foundation for further analyses. In conclusion, for the part of the highwall slope, a properly designed barrier pillar plays a key role in the stability of the slope. After reviewing and analyzing the results of both highwall slope numerical models, it can be stated that the minimum length for the barrier pillar that still will yield in stable highwall slope is 65 meters. For the part of the chain pillars, in conclusion, it can be determined that optimal chain pillar dimensions that should be suitable, from the stability standpoint, are 6x6 meters for 3-entry system and 7x7 meters for 2-entry system (length x width).

Full textAbstract:
This project is a translation of the first two chapters of Durarara!!, by Ryohgo Narita, and chapter 2 of Parade, by Yoshida Shuichi. I wanted to do a translation because I love reading and I want to be a translator. I became interested in the Durarara!! novel after seeing the anime. Since this was right when I was planning my senior thesis, I thought it might be fun to do a translation of the novel. There are official English translations of the Durarara!! anime and manga, but not the original novel. After discussing the project with my thesis advisor, Dr. Gabriel, we decided that I should translate part of Durarara!! for the first semester and part of Parade, a book with which Dr. Gabriel was already familiar, for the second semester. Dr. Gabriel has already translated Parade, but the translation has not yet been published. Throughout the translation, I made notes on any issues I had. I also noted the page numbers in the original text. The most challenging and fun aspect was trying to find a balance between keeping the author’s style and making the story sound good in English. I think I gained valuable experience from this project.

La letteratura è sempre stata specchio di eventi storici e cambiamenti sociali. Anche nella attuale crisi ambientale del pianeta, le narrazioni e le teorie letterarie possono avere un ruolo fondamentale, aiutandoci a comprendere meglio le origini di questa crisi e suggerendoci possibili soluzioni.
In questa tesi si vuole dimostrare che i romanzi fantasy possono portare allo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza ambientale, prendendo in considerazione le ragioni per cui il fantasy è considerato il genere letterario più adatto ad affrontare i problemi ecologici. Partendo da un approccio ecocritico, questa ricerca mira ad analizzare nello specifico il tema dell’ambiente e del non-umano nella letteratura fantasy. Per fare ciò, essa prenderà in esame due importanti romanzi fantasy che si rivelano portatori di un messaggio ecologico: la trilogia Queste Oscure Materie (1995) di Philip Pullman e Le Cronache Di Narnia (1950) di C.S. Lewis. In particolare, viene confrontato il più recente Queste Oscure Materie al classico del genere fantasy Le Cronache di Narnia al fine di investigare come la concezione ambientale sia cambiata all’interno del genere dalle sue origini. Per entrambi i testi, saranno presi in esame: la concezione ambientale all’interno del mondo immaginario del romanzo, quali sono gli elementi narrativi che forniscono una prospettiva ecologica nell’opera, se la narrazione riesce a superare i limiti dell’antropocentrismo, come viene trattata la presenza del non-umano ed infine la visione ambientale dell’autore.

Pesquisas macroeconômicas recentes tem advogado em favor da possibilidade da existência de ajustes assimétricos em variáveis econômicas diversas. Dessa forma, técnicas econométricas têm evoluído no sentido de abarcarem a ideia de cointegração não linear. O presente trabalho busca, portanto, investigar sob o ponto de vista não-linear os efeitos da taxa de câmbio sobre as exportações e importações brasileiras desagregadas em capítulos do Sistema Harmonizado referentes a cinco parceiros comerciais, no período de 1999 a 2015. Para tal, foi utilizada a metodologia NARDL de Shin et. al. (2014), seguida de testes de cointegração e não linearidade. O estudo permite que se diferencie o impacto do câmbio sobre o comércio em apreciações e depreciações e em pequenas e grandes variações, em que é testada a hipótese de histerese da taxa de câmbio. A desagregação aqui empregada contribuiu para a estimação mais realista do efeito do câmbio sobre exportações e importações, em especial para o caso brasileiro, em que ainda há escassez de estudos nessa linha. Os resultados apontam, dentre outros aspectos, que as importações possuem melhor aderência ao modelo não linear do que as exportações. Além disso, a não linearidade cambial apresenta melhor resposta nos modelos – em termos de significância dos coeficientes - quando possui impacto negativo sobre o comércio. Assim, apreciações tendem a ter um impacto maior sobre as exportações e depreciações sobre as importações. Uma das conclusões no que concerne política cambial é que um incentivo às exportações causado por uma taxa de câmbio subvalorizada pode, na verdade, ter um impacto maior sobre as importações, desencorajando-as.
Recent macroeconomic research has advocated in favor of the possibility of asymmetrical adjustments in various economic variables. Indeed, econometric techniques have evolved to encompass the idea of nonlinear cointegration. Thus, this study aims to investigate under a nonlinear fashion the effects of the exchange rate nonlinearities on the flow of international trade on disaggregated Brazilian exports and imports for five trading partners, from 1999 to 2015. For this purpose, the NARDL methodology (Shin et. al. 2014) was applied, followed by cointegration and non-linearity tests. The study enables the differentiation between the impact on trade of the exchange rate appreciations and depreciations, as well the impact of small and large variations of the exchange rate, in which the hysteresis hypothesis can be tested. The disaggregation applied here contributed to a more realistic estimation of the effect of the exchange rate on exports and imports, especially for the Brazilian case, where there is still few studies in this line. The results, among others, showed that imports adhear more closely to the nonlinear model than exports. Moreover, the exchange rate non-linearities showed a better response to the models (in terms of statistical significance) when they have a negative impact on trade; exchange rate appreciations tend to have a larger impact on exports and depreciation on imports. One of the conclusions concerning exchange rate policy is that an incentive to the exports resulting from an over depreciated exchange rate may actually have more impact over the imports, discouraging them.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to study how the use of movies can enrich the educational platform. Movies: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) have been analyzed using a hermeneutic method and postcolonial theory to identify stereotypes and religious and mythologicial motives. This thesis shows that the presentation of religiosity in both movies can be useful in the classroom setting although the presence of stereotypes need to be further discussed with the students. There are plenty of ways to work with both movies in the classroom setting though the teacher has a great responsibility to make it work.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra C.S. Lewis bok Kung Caspian och skeppet Gryningen och filmen med samma namn för att se vilka skillnader och likheter som finns mellan båda medierna. En narrativ analys och en komparativ analys har genomförts. Fyra frågeställningar har varit underlag för analysen, vilka är:• Vad har förändrats, lagts till eller tagits bort vid filmatiseringen av boken som är mest uppenbart?• Vilka skillnader och likheter finns mellan karaktärerna i bok och film?• Vilka skillnader och likheter finns mellan tre utvalda scener i bok och film?• Hur påverkar förändringarna berättelsens tematik?Resultaten visar att den mest uppenbara skillnaden mellan de olika medierna är att bokens huvudsyfte är att finna de sju försvunna riddarna medan filmen har vinklat det till att finna de sju svärden som tillhört riddarna. Karaktärernas framställning liknar varandra med en liten avvikelse på Lucy och Ripipip och att de tre scenerna utspelar sig i olika ordning jämfört med boken. Berättelsens tema är dock detsamma i både boken och filmatiseringen. I undervisningssyfte är både boken och filmen användbara i undervisningen för årskurs 4-6 i det svenska språket.The aim of this study is to compare C.S. Lewis's book Voyage of the Dark treader and the movie with the same name to see what differences and similarities there is between both medias. A narrative analysis and a comparative analysis have been implemented. Four issues have been the basis for the analysis, which are:• What has been the most obvious change when filming the book?• What are the differences and similarities between the characters in the book and the movie?• What differences and similarities exist between three selected scenes in the book and in the movie?• How do the changes affect the story's theme?The results show that the most obvious difference between the various media is that the main purpose of the book is to find the seven lost knights while the movie has angled it to find the seven swords that belonged to the knights. The characters' portrayal is similar to each other with a slight divergency from Lucy and Ripipip and the three scenes take place in different order compared to the book. However, the theme of the story is the same in both the book and the movie. For educational purposes, both the book and the movie are useful in teaching in the school subject Swedish for grades 4-6.

Full textAbstract:
Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes intéressés à l'identification et la commande prédictive des systèmes non linéaires monovariables et multivariables en exploitant les modèles NARMA. Pour l'identification des modèles de type NARMA, nous avons proposé deux nouvelles méthodes heuristiques. La première méthode est basée sur les algorithmes génétiques binaires et la deuxième méthode constitue une combinaison entre le réseau de neurones artificiels à fonction d'activation polynomiale et l'algorithme génétique sous sa représentation réelle. Cette dernière méthode a été également développée pour la modélisation des systèmes multivariables. Les résultats trouvés, pratiques ou en simulations, ont confirmé l'efficacité et la robustesse des méthodes proposées. En effet, les modèles NARMA déterminés caractérisent avec une précision acceptable et avec une complexité raisonnable le comportement des systèmes étudiés. Par la suite nous avons proposé un contrôleur prédictif des systèmes non linéaires sous contraintes, qui exploite les modèles de type NARMA. La loi de commande est obtenue en minimisant un critère quadratique non convexe. Le problème d'optimisation est résolu par deux méthodes utilisant les algorithmes de Nelder-Mead et de Rosenbrock qui ne nécessitent pas le calcul de la dérivée du critère. Ces méthodes, combinées avec la fonction de pénalité, l'approche CFON ainsi que l'utilisation de la notion de multi initialisation, permettent une meilleure convergence vers le minimum global.

Full textAbstract:
In the present study, teaching guides to The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S Lewis are assessed and evaluated with the help from Ian McGrath’s Materials Evaluation and Design for Language Teaching. The study focuses on two complete teaching guides, one developed by an American language teacher and the other by the producers of the latest Narniamovie. Both of the guides were originally created for a native speaker context. However, in this dissertation ways of adapting these study guides to the goals expressed in the Swedish Curriculum (Lpo 94) and The National Syllabuses are explored. The result of my evaluation shows that both the selected guides are, with some adjustment, applicable to the education of English in Sweden. The conclusion is that the language-oriented parts of the teaching guides are valid to the Swedish curriculum and syllabuses of English, though they were developed for native speakers of English. The modules on moral education are also applicable, since value based education is fundamental in Swedish schools.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I explore the uses to which children’s authors C.S. Lewis and Philip Pullman put the major biblical theme of the Fall (with passing commentary on Temptation, the precursor to the Fall) in their seminal children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia and the His Dark Materials trilogy. I argue that each author uses the subject of the Fall as a central theme in his series in order to inflect the dominant message of this biblical story (that humanity has fallen from perfection into sin) with their personal opinions on fundamental human questions concerning the nature of God, the difference between good and evil, and the metaphysical ‘rules’ that structure the universe and mankind’s place in it.1 In exploring these issues, I point out the ways in which Pullman and Lewis, in their drastically differing opinions as to the legitimacy of the worldview implicit in the original Bible story, are nevertheless both heavily dependant on the overwhelming influence that the Fall narrative has had on Western culture.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores the similarities between The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Bible. It argues that Christian messages and values are represented by several of the characters. Focusing on Aslan, the Lion who is a Christ-like figure, and Mr. Tumnus and three of the children: Peter, Edmund and Lucy; the essay examines the Christian messages of betrayal, resurrection and self-sacrifice. The essay also explores the Christian virtues: forgiveness and courage, which carry important lessons for the young reader. With the aid of the technique of close reading together with specific features of Lewis’s life and belief where relevant, the essay examines the Christian messages and values. The conclusion of this essay further demonstrates the Christian aspects that Ward, Colbert, and Schakel to some extent mention in their studies. While they focus on Christianity in general, this essay analyzes the Christian messages of betrayal, resurrection and self-sacrifice as well as the Christian virtues forgiveness and courage, even further. The essay further demonstrates that Lewis intentionally included Christian messages and moral values.

Tesen att en fältherre hade små möjligheter att styra ett slag när det väl hade börjat har framförts av författaren Peter Englund. Denna tes delar forskare i två läger där det andra lägret menar att fältherren hade mycket stor betydelse för utgången av ett slag. Syftet med denna uppsats är tvådelat. Den första delen i syftet är att undersöka om det fanns faktorer andra än fältherrens styrning som kunde avgöra ett dåtida slag och den andra delen i syftet är att se om det går att applicera moderna doktriner i analysen av dåtida fall. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att fältherren hade små möjligheter att styra slaget men det fanns med ett energiskt och karismatiskt föregångsmannaskap möjlighet att påverka slaget. Det framgår tydligt faktorer i slagen som fältherren inte kunde styra över. Svaret är att en kombination av fältherrens påverkan och andra faktorer avgör ett slag, ingendera står ensam. Syftet uppfylls med att det finns andra faktorer identifierade och en modern doktrin går att använda vid analysen.The thesis that a military commander had little opportunity to guide a battle when it had started has been proposed by the Author Peter Englund. This thesis divides researchers into two sides where the second side means that the Commander had a very big significance to the outcome of a battle. The purpose of this essay is two-fold. The first part of the purpose is to examine whether there were factors other than the Commanders guidance that could determine a contemporary battle and the second part of the purpose is to see if it is possible to apply modern doctrines in the analysis of contemporary cases.The results of the study show that the Commander had little opportunity to control the battle but there was a possibility with an energetic and charismatic example to influence the battle. There are clearly factors in the battles that the Commander could not affect. The answer is that a combination of the Commanders influence and other factors determine a battle, neither stands alone. The purpose was met by that there are other factors identified and a modern doctrine can be used in the analysis.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-23Esta dissertação analisa cinco narrativas produzidas por estudantes e Ensino Médio, mobilizando conceitos para uma análise discursiva cujo tema aborda aspectos sobre o problema do autor e da autoria. A escolha do corpus reflete o interesse pela escrita autoral, aquela que apresenta traços singulares. A escrita dos alunos-autores, apesar de terem sido produzidas através de uma instituição escola,revela características de um texto literário. Partindo de uma proposta geral, faz-se uma discussão sobre alteridade, refletindo com Amorim (2004), Bakhtin (1976),Benveniste (1995) e Authier-Revuz (2004). A seguir, discute-se o problema do autor no presente e no passado -, como também as idéias de Barthes (1984), Foucault (1997, 2001, 2006) e Bakhtin (1976, 1981, 1995, 1998, 2003) sobre a questão, que se mostra sob múltiplos aspectos. Na ampla reflexão sobre autoria, destaca-se Bakhtin como o encaminhador teórico do estudo. A análise bakhtiniana das narrativas faz-se através da metodologia indiciária (GINZBURG, 1989), procedimento qualitativo, que se considera adequado para a proposta de análise. Discute-se também os modos de organização do discurso com Charaudeau (2008), assim como a composição dos enunciados como forma arquitetônica (BAKHTIN,1998). Através dos conceitos bakhtinianos de autoria, gêneros e estilo, analisa-se nos textos primeiramente a composição do tema, sua valoração e significação no contexto narrativo (BAKHTIN, 1976, 1995, 1998), para depois discutir a questão do autor e da alteridade na arquitetônica da criação (BAKHTIN, 1981, 1993, 1998,2003). Pergunta-se, então, se traços de autoria puderam ser detectados nas narrativas dos alunos. Pelas análises realizadas, fundamentadas nos conceitos bakhtinianos de criação estética, permite-se afirmar que o trabalho de autoria se fez presente na produção dos alunos.

Puzzle, the donkey in the lion’s skin, an analysis of the literary donkey in C. S. Lewis’s The Last Battle. This paper intends to examine the portrayal of donkeys in western literature by a close reading of the donkey Puzzle in C. S. Lewis’s The Last Battle. The overall purpose is to examine how donkeys have historically been portrayed in litterature. How the view of the donkey as dumb has come to be shaped by earlier Greko-Roman literature as Aesop’s fables and how it is possible to see these prejudices in the depiction of Puzzle. The focus is to understand how the negative image of the donkey has emerged and is shaped by the purpose and function the donkey has had, and still has, for humans. This paper’s questions are: How is Puzzle portrayed in C. S. Lewis The Last Battle? Is Puzzle presented as inferior/lower class? Are there any characteristics of the fool in Puzzle? The analysis shows how the old prejudiced image of the donkey can be seen in the depiction of Puzzle. This is obvious from how Puzzle is portrayed in relation to other character’s, especially how he is posed as opposite to the unicorn Jewel. But it is also visible in how Puzzle himself uses these prejudices in his defense by claiming that he is too stupid to understand; A defense often used by the fool. I argue that Puzzle bears the traits of the fool even if he remains a donkey in the end.

Full textAbstract:
The Chronicles of Narnia (1950-1956) est un célèbre recueil de sept romans, traditionnellement reconnus comme des œuvres de littérature de jeunesse et à l’origine du genre fantasy. L’un des intérêts majeurs de ces livres réside dans leur substrat symbolique, exprimé dans le texte par un double niveau de lecture qui évoque la tradition chrétienne. Notre thèse consiste en l’analyse d’un corpus incluant les originaux en anglais et les traductions françaises, publiées sous le titre de Le Monde de Narnia (2005)Sous l’égide de la traductologie de corpus (Corpus-based Translation Studies) et par une démarche interdisciplinaire empruntant des outils à la pragmatique, à l’analyse critique du discours (Critical Discourse Analysis, CDA) et à la narratologie, notre étude vise à mettre en évidence les marqueurs du point de vue idéologique, à travers une analyse semi-automatique, qualitative et quantitative. Parmi ces marqueurs sont notamment analysés les déictiques, la modalité, la transitivité, les choix lexicaux et la prosodie sémantique. Les parties du discours correspondant à ces marqueurs sont analysées notamment en lien avec l’instance du narrateur, de par son rôle clé pour l’idéologie dans le texte, et de régie dans la focalisation. Notre analyse porte une attention particulière à la dimension du sacré et aux thèmes de la violence, de la mort et du genre en traduction de littérature de jeunesse.La littérature de jeunesse, toujours plus ou moins caractérisée par un but éducatif, tout comme les livres qui constituent notre corpus, s’avère un véhicule axiologique puissant, qui reflète les valeurs qu’une société défend et transmet à un moment donné. L’instance du narrateur est au cœur de cette négociation entre systèmes linguistiques, culturels et axiologiques, qui s’exprime dans une dynamique dialogique impliquant tous les acteurs de la chaîne du livre. Notre travail a montré notamment que les traductions françaises ont tendance à affaiblir le message religieux, éloignant le regard du lecteur ou rendant flous les contours de l’espace. Dans l’ensemble, l’idéologie du texte cible est caractérisée par un certain nombre d’écarts par rapport au texte source et met en avant d’autres valeurs, pourtant présentes, elles aussi, dans l’original.Ce travail de recherche montre une méthode permettant d’aborder le texte dans le but d’une meilleure compréhension des enjeux qui sous-tendent la traduction, et en particulier la traduction de l’idéologie et du point de vue dans les livres pour enfantsThe Chronicles of Narnia (1950-1956) is a well-known collection of seven novels, usually seen as belonging to the genre of Children’s literature and Fantasy. One of the main characteristics of the novels lies in their symbolic dimension, which evokes the Christian tradition and is expressed in the text through a second layer of meaning. Our thesis involves the analysis of a corpus including the English originals of The Chronicles of Narnia and their respective French translations, entitled Le Monde de Narnia (2005).The study draws on corpus-based translation studies and uses an interdisciplinary approach, in particular pragmatics, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and narratology. Through a combination of qualitative analysis and semi-automatic, quantitative analysis, it explores the ways in which a number of markers of ideological point of view are used in the translations by comparison with the initial texts. The main markers which make the object of discussion are: deictics, modality, transitivity, lexical choice and semantic prosody. The discourse features related to these markers are analysed with respect to the narrative instance of the narrator, which has a key role in conveying the ideology of the text and which controls the focalization process. Our analysis draws particular attention to the sacred dimension in the texts, as well as to the themes of violence, death and gender in children’s literature.Children’s literature is usually characterised by an educational goal, and the Narnia books prove to be a powerful means to convey values within society, at a given moment in time. The narrator is at the centre of a negotiation between two linguistic, cultural and axiological systems. This negotiation is expressed by a dialogical dynamics involving all the actors taking part in the publication process. Our research reveals that the French translations tend to weaken the religious message of the original texts, distancing the reader or blurring space boundaries. Moreover, the ideology in the target texts is characterised by a number of discrepancies by comparison with the source texts; different values are given prominence, among those already present in the Narnia books.Using a method of analysis of translated texts, the thesis brings a contribution to the understanding of the challenges a translator may face when confronted with the task of translating ideology and point of view in books for children

Este estudo traz para a discussão, no primeiro capítulo, o mangá como expressão artística, cujo modelo de criação se distingue dos demais quadrinhos pela pluralidade e diversidade de gêneros. São apresentados estudos sobre a linguagem visual das histórias em quadrinhos a partir de teorias ocidentais e japoneses que se correlacionam, como a forma de desenho de quadros, balões, hiatos, linhas cinéticas, metáforas visuais e suas características de linguagem universal. As linhas, planos de fundo e composições das páginas estabelecem relações com a arte tradicional japonesa dos emakimono (rolos de pintura), das xilogravuras ukiyo-e e das padronagens dos quimonos, sendo por isso analisados tais elementos. Ainda, abordam-se as onomatopeias, característica peculiar da língua japonesa que se revelam como subsídios necessários para valorizar sensações e emoções na narrativa, mesmo quando o silêncio é proposto; acentua-se também o grafismo visual que as integram à cena. Por fim, são levantadas as características na construção dos personagens, como a forma dada a corpos e olhos e as expressões faciais, que têm forte semelhança com as figuras das xilogravuras ukiyo-e, das revistas ilustradas Jojô-ga e das desenhadas por Osamu Tezuka. O segundo capítulo põe em debate o boom do mangá, animê e da cultura otaku do pós-guerra, que se apresentam para os artistas japoneses, da década de 1990, como elementos importantes para a produção de suas obras: assim se inserem os trabalhos de Takashi Murakami e Yoshitomo Nara, em suas relações com o mangá e com as artes tradicionais. Mesmo com ideais distintos, esses artistas participaram do movimento Neo Pop japonês e da exposição Super Flat (2000), e repensaram suas produções a partir da catástrofe natural de 2011. Pela dificuldade em encontrar bibliografia, muitas das informações obtidas nesta pesquisa se basearam em textos de jornais, curadores e críticos de arte ocidentais e japoneses, bem como na visitação a exposições dos artistas no Japão. Soma-se a esse capítulo a estética kawaii cujo ideal revela um universo infantilizado, que influencia as artes, se fortalece pelo fomento da indústria pop nipônica, atravessa as fronteiras para o ocidente e por isso se configura como produto de identidade nacional. As obras dos artistas supracitados dialogam com essa estética e também com a estética basara, que ostenta aquilo que é exuberante e luxuoso.In its first chapter, this study arises the discussion of the manga as an artistic expression. Its creation model is distinguished from other comics by the plurality and diversity of genres. It presents studies on the visual language of comics from Western and Japanese theories which correlates, such as how to design panel, balloons, gutter, motion lines, living lines and they characteristics of universal language. The lines, backgrounds and pages compositions establish relations with the Japanese traditional art of emakimono (paint rollers), ukiyo-e woodblock prints and kimonos patterns, and have, therefore, such elements analyzed. Furthermore, approach the onomatopoeia, a peculiar characteristic of the Japanese language that reveal as necessary support to value sensations and emotions in the narrative, even when silence is proposed; it also accentuates the visual graphics that are part of the scene. Finally, the features are lifted in the construction of the characters, as the form given to bodies and eyes and facial expressions, which have strong resemblance to the woodblock ukiyo-eimages, the illustrated magazines Jojo-ga and drawn by Osamu Tezuka. The second chapter puts on the manga boom debate, anime and otaku culture of the postwar period, which are presented to the Japanese artists of the 1990s, as important elements for the production of their artworks: thus are inserted the work of Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara, in its relations with the manga and traditional arts. Even with ideal distinct, these artists participated in the movement Neo Japanese Pop and exposure Super Flat (2000), and rethought their production from natural disaster 2011. The difficulty in finding bibliography, much of the information obtained in this study were based on newspaper texts, curators and critics of Western and Japanese art, as well as visits to exhibitions of artists in Japan. Added to this chapter kawaii aesthetic ideal which reveals infantile universe, which influences the arts, strengthened by foment Nipponese pop industry, crosses borders to the West and so is configured as national identity product. The artworks of the above artists dialogue with this aesthetic and also with basara aesthetics, which boasts what is exuberant and luxurious.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, industrial processes are having to be rapidly developed to meet high standards regarding increases in the production rate and/or improving product quality. Fulfilling these requirements is having to work in tandem with the pressure to reduce energy consumption due to global environmental regulations. Consequently, most industrial processes critically rely on automatic control, which can provide efficient solutions to meet such challenges and prerequisites. For this thesis, an intelligent system design has been investigated for controlling the distillation process, which is characterised by highly nonlinear and dynamic behaviour. These features raise very challenging tasks for control systems designers. Fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks (ANNs) are the main methods used in this study to design different controllers, namely: PI- PD- and PID-like fuzzy controllers, ANN-based NARMAL2 in addition to a conventional PID controller for comparison purposes. Genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) have also been utilised to tune fuzzy controllers by finding the best set of scaling factors. Finally, an intelligent controller is proposed, called ANFIS-based NARMA-L2, which uses ANFIS as an approximation approach for identifying the underlying systems in a NARMA-L2 configuration. The controllers are applied to control two compositions of a binary distillation column, which has been modelled and simulated in MATLAB® and on the Simulink® platform. Comparative analysis has been undertaken to investigate the controllers' performance, which shows that PID-like FLC outperforms the other tested fuzzy control configurations, i.e. PI- and PD-like. Moreover, PSO has been found to outperform GA in finding the best set of scaling factors and over a shorter time period. Subsequently, the performance of PID-like FLC has been compared with ANN-based NARMA-L2 and the proposed ANFIS-based NARMA-L2, by subjecting the controlled column to different test scenarios. Furthermore, the stability and robustness of the controllers have been assessed by subjecting the controlled column to inputs variance and disturbances situations. The proposed ANFIS-based NARMAL2 controller outperforms and demonstrates more tolerance of disturbances than the other controllers. Finally, the study has involved investigating the control of a multicomponent distillation column due to its significant enhancement in operational efficiency regarding energy saving and recent widespread implementation. That is, Kaibel's distillation column with 4×4 configuration has been simulated also in MATLAB® and on the Simulink® platform with the proposed controller being implemented to control the temperatures of the column and the outcomes subsequently compared with conventional PID controllers. Again, the novel controller has proven its superiority regarding the disturbances tolerance as well as dealing with the high dynamics and nonlinear behaviour.

Biorreatores, que são explorados desde a antiguidade, são sistemas capazes de realizar a fermentação de compostos orgânicos, continuam sendo amplamente utilizados atualmente devido à diversidade de aplicações. Esses sistemas podem operar em diferentes modos de fermentação, entretanto, os mais utilizados são: fermentação contínua, semicontínua e descontínua. Esse último, juntamente com o processo de digestão anaeróbia (ausência de oxigênio), permitem que uma determinada matéria orgânica seja degradada e transformada em biogás, um dos fatores chave para geração de energia limpa. Percebe-se, portanto, que o estudo de biorreatores em modo de operação descontínuo e em processo de digestão anaeróbia é fundamental para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas relacionadas à geração de energia renovável. Para facilitar o entendimento desse processo, alguns autores propuseram estudos baseados na identificação de parâmetros em modelos não-lineares descritivos, do tipo caixa-branca, que hoje são vastamente utilizados na modelagem de biorreatores. A grande limitação dessa abordagem é que o processo de identificação de sistemas utilizando esses modelos pode ser complexo e demorado, ou, ainda, os parâmetros dos sistemas representados podem não ser identificáveis, inviabilizando o procedimento. Tentando amenizar essas dificuldades, propomos neste trabalho a utilização de modelos polinomiais NAR e NARMA do tipo caixa-preta para a modelagem de biorreatores em modo de fermentação descontínua. Modelos caixa-preta representam sistemas reais por meio de sua saída, sem informação sobre os mecanismos internos desse sistema, simplificando a identificação. Frente a esse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar a predição e, por consequência, realizar o monitoramento da produção de metano utilizando os modelos caixa-preta propostos em sistemas de biorreatores em modo descontínuo e em processo de digestão anaeróbia. Realizamos estudos que abarcam a investigação de dados simulados e de dados reais. Num primeiro momento são propostos modelos polinomiais dos tipos NAR e NARMA. A partir desses modelos são estimados os parâmetros dos sistemas simulados, com e sem ruído na saída, baseados em condições iniciais propostas na literatura, que denominamos Grupo de Controle. Posteriormente realizamos as validações desses modelos. Em seguida, passamos à etapa de investigação do domínio de validade dos modelos caixa-preta propostos, realizando um estudo em que modificamos as condições iniciais do sistema que representa biorreatores em modo de fermentação descontínua. Por fim, utilizamos dados de um experimento real para realizar o processo de estimação de parâmetros e de validação dos modelos. Os resultados mostraram que os modelos polinomiais NAR e NARMA são bastante adequados para predição de metano em biorreatores em modo de fermentação descontínua em processo de digestão anaeróbia, tanto para os dados simulados quanto para os dados reais.Bioreactors, which are explored since antiquity, are systems that are capable of performing the fermentation of organic compounds. Nowadays, they are widely applied due to its diversity of applications. These systems can operate in different fermentation modes: continuous, fed-batch and batch. This last fermentation method along with the process of anaerobic digestion allow organic matter to be degraded and converted into biogas, which is a key factor for clean energy generation. It is thus realized that the study of bioreactors in batch mode and anaerobic digestion process is crucial to the development of research related to renewable energy generation. For a better understanding of the process, some authors have proposed studies based on parameters identification in descriptive nonlinear models, white-box models, which are widely used in bioreactors modeling. The main limitation of this approach is that the system identification procedure using these models can be complex and time-consuming, or even the parameters of the systems may not be identifiable. In order to overcome these difficulties, we propose in this work the use of black-box polynomial models for bioreactor modeling in batch mode, with NAR and NARMA model structures. Black-box models represent real systems using its output, without explicitly considering the inner mechanisms of the system, simplifying the identification procedure. Thus, the aim of this work is to investigate the prediction and monitoring methane production using the black-box models proposed using bioreactor systems in batch and anaerobic digestion process. The investigation uses numerical simulation and experimental data. At first, polynomial models of the types NAR and NARMA are proposed. The parameters from these models using simulation data with and without noise at the output, based on initial conditions proposed in the literature, are estimated. Subsequently we perform validations of these models. The next step is the study of the validity domain of the proposed black-box models, which is performed by testing many different initial conditions of the system that represents bioreactors in batch fermentation mode. Finally, we used real experimental data to perform the estimation of the parameters from the process and validation of models. The results, both simulated and experimental, indicate that the polynomial models NAR and NARMA are appropriate for prediction of methane fermentation in batch bioreactors.

Full textAbstract:
Klimatförändringarna har en stor påverkan på de arktiska valarna grönlandsval (Balaena mysticetus), vitval (Delphinapterus leucas) och narval (Monodon monoceros), mer än vad som tros vid en första tanke. I dagsläget får dessa valar utstå stora utmaningar som troligenkan komma att förvärras i framtiden om inte isens smältande kan bromsas. En del av utmaningarna innebär att valarna måste genomgå stora förändringar för att överleva, vilket innebär att deras förmåga att anpassa sig spelar en stor roll. Människans jakt på valen har alltid varit ett stort problem för de arktiska valarna, tack vare restriktioner om fångstkvoter och vem som får jaga val ser framtiden ljusare ut i alla fall för grönlandsvalen och vitvalen. För narvalen ser det dock inte lika ljust ut eftersom det är en art som är känsligare än många andra arktiska arter för effekterna som den globala uppvärmningen har på den arktiska miljön. I dagsläget har en del effekter på valarna blivit synliga såsom ändrade migrationsvanor och ökad predation. På grund av bristande data från perioden innan klimatförändringarna är detsvårt att dra konkreta slutsatser, därför fokuserar mycket forskning på att förutse vad som kommer att ske i framtiden. Fokus på framtiden är viktigt eftersom det som sker idag redan är försent att göra någonting åt, det vi kan göra är att se till att det inte blir ännu värre. Den smältande isens effekter är svåra att skilja på då de överlappar en del, till exempel leder tillgången på föda till förändringar i habitat. Man har i dagsläget sett små skillnader i tillgång på föda, beståndet av istorsken har minskat, eftersom det är en viktig föda för de arktiska valarna kan det ha en effekt. En minskning av en viss typ av plankton har också observerats och eftersom ingen ersättande art har setts kommer detta få effekter på näringsväven i de arktiska haven och därmed alla arter som lever där inklusive de arktiska valarna. I framtiden tror man att primärproduktionen kommer att öka på grund av den höjda vattentemperaturen och den ökande ytan med öppet vatten, detta kommer eventuellt ha en positiv effekt på de arktiska valarna.

A presente dissertação volta-se para o estudo do léxico de uma obra traduzida, tendo como base o uso de corpus. Escolhemos para análise o livro The Chronicles of Narnia: the Silver Chair (1953), do escritor C. S. Lewis, e suas traduções para a língua portuguesa “As Crônicas de Nárnia: a cadeira de prata” – tradução de Paulo Mendes Campos – e para a língua espanhola Las Crónicas de Narnia: la silla de plata – Tradução de María Rosa Duhart Silva. Selecionamos três vocábulos para análise, os quais se relacionam à representação das principais personagens femininas e a aspectos simbólicos da narrativa: Jill, Witch e owl. Estas são palavras-chave no corpus que compilamos e foram extraídas por meio de ferramentas específicas do software WordSmith Tools. Investigamos, então, os três vocábulos de acordo com seu cotexto (texto ao redor da palavra de busca) e com seu contexto. Para tal, levamos em consideração os dados fornecidos pelo programa, como o número de ocorrências dos vocábulos escolhidos no texto de partida (TP) e nos textos de chegada (TCs) e os pressupostos teóricos dos Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus (BAKER, 1993, 1995, 1996). Os resultados das análises apontam para a criação de novos sentidos nos TCs de acordo com o léxico selecionado pelos tradutores, levando o leitor a conceituar de diferentes modos as personagens citadas, a partir de suas impressões ao ter acesso ao TC.
The present dissertation, based on subsidies from Corpus Linguistics consists of a study aimed at studying the lexicon of a literary work. We have chosen to analyze the book The Chronicles of Narnia: the Silver Chair (1953), by the writer C. S. Lewis, and its translations into the Portuguese language As Crônicas de Nárnia: a cadeira de prata – translated by Paulo Mendes Campos –, and into the Spanish language Las Crónicas de Narnia: la silla de plata – translated by María Rosa Duhart Silva. We have selected three words for analysis, which relate to the representation of the main female characters and the symbolic aspects of the narrative: Jill, Witch and owl. These are keywords in the corpus we compiled and they were extracted using specific tools from WordSmith Tools software. We then investigated the three words according to their co-text (text around the search word) and its context. To do so, we took into account the data provided by the program, such as the number of occurrences of the words chosen in the source text (ST) and in the target texts (TTs) and the theoretical assumptions of Corpus-based Translation Studies (BAKER, 1993, 1995, 1996). The results of the analyzes point to the creation of new meanings in the TTs according to the lexicon selected by the translators, leading the reader to conceptualize the characters mentioned in different ways, from their impressions upon access to the TT.

Full textAbstract:
At the first Panorama in 1963, Anthony "Tony" Williams presented an arrangement of Slinger "Mighty Sparrow" Francisco's "Dan Is The Man (In The Van)" that would set the standard for Panoramas to come. As the competition continued arrangers like Bobby Mohammed, Earl Rodney, Jit Samaroo, and many others continued to present new ideas and techniques that became part of what is known as the "Panorama formula." In its current configuration the Panorama formula can be seen as an amalgamation of techniques introduced by past arrangers, but some argue that the formula has become too predictable and that arrangers who present works continuing to push the boundaries of the competition are often not rewarded, and perhaps punished for their efforts. This document will explore, through the history of the competition and the development of past arrangers, how the formulaic procedures of Panorama have developed. In addition, the recent works of arrangers Ray Holman, Liam Teague, and Andy Narell will be examined to see how they have challenged the expectations of the Panorama judges and the steelband community.

Bibliography: pages 156-164.In this thesis, the nature and function of Marvellous Secondary worlds are examined by means of a comparative study of three Marvellous Secondary worlds: C. S. Lewis's Narnia, J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, and Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea. We consider the way in which Marvellous Secondary worlds may be used in order to explore certain aspects of reality highly effectively through themes and images characteristic of Marvellous fantasy. In the Introduction, the wide range of Secondary worlds in modern fantasy and the specific functions that Secondary worlds may fulfil is commented on. These analyses are then linked to a discussion of some of the central characteristics of Marvellous Secondary worlds.
