Resumo: O estudo da cosmovisão de Hughes, inspirada em Lawrence e remontando a Bergson, abre novas perspectivas não exploradas pelos críticos, evidenciando aspectos inéditos em sua poesia. Da mesma maneira que Lawrence, Hughes procura ir alem das aparências exteriores, revelando o próprio processo vital, que e captado somente em raros momentos de percepção intuitiva. 0 objetivo principal de sua poesia e salientar como real idades 'outras ' as criaturas do mundo rião-humano, destacando-as como receptáculos da poderosa força vital existente no uni verso. Insiste em celebrar a vitalidade dos pássaros, animais e plantas, porque considera o homem demasiadamente auto matizado,fato que o impede de viver. Os indícios de degeneração que vê no homem moderno, Hughes os atribui a excessiva mecanização, que reduziu o homem a um autômato, interrompendo o contacto vital com as outras criaturas vivas. Estas ideias, que Lawrence expõe nas obras em prosa, i .e., ensaios, cartas, relatos de viagens, especulações filosóficas, romances e contos são retomadas por Hughes em sua poesia, constituindo não apenas a principal fonte de inspiração, como também a base de sua visão do mundo. Na primeira parte desta dissertação e colocada em relevo a filosofia de Bergson, que foi assimiladas reinterpretada por Lawrence e Hughes, servindo de fundamentação metafísica para a obra de ambos. Na segunda parte traçamos o paralelo existente entre o simbolismo animal de ambos os autores, demonstrando que as metáforas animais de Lawrence, que representam forças instintivas e intuitivas, estão também aparentes em Hughes, evidenciando sua habi1 idade em dar nova forma ao material em que se inspirou, bem como provando que maior compreensão do pensamento de Lawrence possibilita novos enfoques na poemática de Hughes.

Full textAbstract:
There is substantial research literature concerned with 'the couple' and 'the affair', . although, the experience of the extra-dyadic partner, often known as 'the other lover', appears to have been overlooked. To date there is limited research exploring this 'third' party within the affair; the majority of the research is dated and from a North American perspective. This qualitative research project seeks to understand the experience of the 'affair' from the 'other' woman's perspective. Eight women who were, or had been, the 'other' woman were individually interviewed about their experience. The interview transcripts were methodically analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (JP A). Three superordinate themes emerged; setting the scene, desire and something missing. . The findings suggest these 'other' women experienced stigma from the society and 'individuals; leading to a need to produce justifications for their relationship. Paradoxically, these features framed the relationship', attributing to libidinal desire; the women expressed enjoying the fantasy of the context and the concept of 'forbidden fruit'. However, their lover being married meant there were many restrictions on the relationship which led to the women experiencing a reduction in self-esteem. Typically, the participants expressed difficulties with communicating their emotional needs and often pursuing a relationship which they viewed as a dead-end. . On the basis of these findings a number of recommendations have been made. This study provides insight into this experience, aiding clinical practice, and raising awareness of the political and societal structures which appear to frame these 'other' women's relationships and sexual identity.

Includes bibliographical references (page 121).
As the third millennium of the Common Era has unfolded into a new chapter of social, political, technological, and ecological complexity, the question of the Architect's capacity to address our futures implores a connection to the ability of one to navigate our pasts. As Canon rises to the surface of history--through the work we champion and the stories we espouse--it is accompanied by the ideological Mythologies it entangles. It is our responsibility not to idly assume the mantle of these Myths, and to be critical of our role in their perpetuation--a task that appeals for the investment in other stories. This thesis reflects upon our relationship to Canon, with the intention of destabilizing the relationship between an "Act" of Architecture, and the ideological ephemera with which such an Act is implicated.
Specifically, Other Stories attends to a Canon of American domesticity, and the Modern Mythologies that this Canon complicitly perpetuates--among many, a Myth of Progress, a Myth of Anthropocentricity, and a Myth of Family. Engaging through modes of curation (bookmaking) and re--presentation (drawing), the first chapter of this thesis forages for the seeds of alternative Mythologies within stories that, while belonging to this Canon, have been neglected, or forgotten, or erased. This pursuit is underpinned by an imploration for something Other: alternative threads for navigating our futures and our histories than the myopia of "Progress" and "Anthropocentricity" and "Family". The second chapter of Other Stories offers a series of conjectures that re-imagine the tenets of an American domestic Architecture through the lens of alternative Mythologies.
Taking on Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House as site, the investigation anticipates three "Other Farnsworths" that supplant "Progress" and "Anthropocentricity" and "Family" with Myths of Entropy, Rhizome, and Kin, respectively. These speculations become testing grounds for new modes of making, and communicating, architecture.

It is to this potential for mimicking and representing the real world that I wish to turn; for whilst the word painting refers to the manifestation of the physical object, it also, more importantly for this discussion, refers to the act of painting itself, the application of paint onto a surface in the articulation of an illusory reality. This ability to represent in paint, upon a two-dimensional surface, the real world in such a way as to cause in the viewer an experience which is somehow like that of looking at the world, is called naturalism.

Full textAbstract:
This creative thesis is a collection of original poems entitled Other. The poems in Other reflect my study of the aesthetics of poetry as well as that of how women are represented as poets and as the subject of poems. Some of these poems are the product of my particular interest in the use of persona. Most reflect my desire to achieve self-reflection, to write from my experiences and perception, while still maintaining the universality that is an essential element of successful poems.
The critical introduction situates my poems within the framework of the poetic mode Personal Classicism—poetry that is emotionally based but relies on formal techniques and controlled elements in order to maintain distance. My primary goal in the critical introduction is to link my poems to the Personal Classicist lineage, which includes H.D., Elizabeth Bishop, and Louise Gluck – to whom I will pay particular attention.

Other Nature
Other nature is a long term, ongoing documentary project that explores the relationship between humans and the natural environment of the Mojave Desert. Predicated on the reduction of the Joshua Tree woodlands that surround my home of Hesperia, Other Nature examines and questions the practices used in the creation of the built environments that are replacing the Mojave’s endemic terrain.
Through various techniques, I document and record the systematic removal of the Mojave’s natural presence. Photography, eco-printing and paper making all offer a cathartic approach to witnessing the loss of these natural spaces. Included in my work is an aspect of gathering and reclaiming removed plant material to commemorate the beauty of and offer a voice to a habitat that is being forever changed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis approaches the Gesta Roberti Wiscardi as a means of gaining an insight into the cultural values of its author and intended audience. A detailed study is made of the various role models within the poem: the ideal soldier, the good lord, the role of women in society, and the perception of priests and the papacy. In addition to this the text is used to establish racial stereotypes for the following groups of peoples: the Germans, Sicilians, Seljuqs, Greeks, Italians, Venetians and Normans. The significance of the characterisation of individuals who are portrayed in a manner inconsistent with their racial stereotype is also examined. The thesis re-examines the evidence in the text and in other document sources concerning the author of the poem and establishes a viable identification. A new interpretation of the role of the two patrons. Urban II and Roger Borsa, is also discussed. The question of the consistency of style in William of Apulia's poem is also addressed and set in the context of the subject matter and intent of the work. Finally a discussion is made of the evidence for the use of William as a source by three subsequent historians: Robert of Torigni, Suger of St Denis and Anna Comnena. This thesis draws attention to further use of the Gesta by Robert than previously realised and for the first time forwards a concrete case for its use by the latter two authors.

Full textAbstract:
Developments in the theorising of representation and the constitutive nature of language have encouraged an increased scholarly interest in the discursive construction of social identities, relations, and realities. This includes a growing body of literature internationally that focuses on the construction of social groups positioned as Others. However, critical research in this area is more limited in the domestic setting. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, the contemporary construction of social identities is embedded within a specific socio-political and historical context, including a particular colonial context. This context is fundamental to the ways in which social relations between the white settler Self and various Other groups have been, and continue to be, constituted. In this thesis, I have explored the discursive representation of Asian identity in dominant institutional discourses in Aotearoa/New Zealand, with a particular focus on the construction of the Asian as Other. Using critical discourse analysis, contemporary newspaper and parliamentary texts were examined to identify content areas, discursive strategies, and lexical choices involved in the representation of the Asian Other by elite institutions in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Through this process, several recurring manifestations of Asian Otherness were recognised, namely those of Asians as threat, Asian as impermanent, Asian as commodity, and Asian as victim. These representations of the Asian Other embody continuities and contradictions. They function to contribute to contemporary understandings and positionings of Asian individuals and collectives, to the ongoing construction of the Self in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and to the broader national narrative.

Este trabalho procura refletir sobre a crise do jornalismo contemporâneo à luz de uma possível fonte de renovação da prática, os blogs jornalísticos. Tal crise é vista como desdobramento de uma problemática mais ampla, a crise da modernidade, que coloca em xeque valores fundantes do jornalismo - como o próprio conceito de verdade. A popularização da Internet, já perto da virada do século XX para o XXI, intensifica a crise em curso, mas ao mesmo tempo cria, por meio da tecnologia, outras formas de interação com o leitor e dissemina possibilidades narrativas antes excluídas do gênero jornalístico. As transformações da prática e da narrativa jornalística são investigadas a partir de textos de três publicações eletrônicas: o Blog do Noblat, de Ricardo Noblat; o Blog do Moreno, de Jorge Bastos Moreno; e o blog Nos bastidores do poder, de Josias de Souza - respectivamente veiculados pelos portais Estadão.com, Globo Online e Folha Online. A escolha se deve à hipótese de que o jornalismo é capaz de se reinventar criativamente no seio dos mesmos veículos que tornaram suas práticas hegemônicas. As análises de texto incluem não apenas o conteúdo produzido pelos jornalistas, mas também os comentários dos leitores - aqui encarados como pólo ativo no processo de comunicação.
This paper attempts to reflect on the crisis of contemporary journalism in light of a possible new source of renovation in its practice - journalistic blogs. The crisis is seen as an unfolding of a broader set of problems, the modernity crisis, which places journalism`s core values at check - such as, the concept of truth itself. The popularization of the World Wide Web in the turn of the century intensifies the crisis underway, but at the same time creates other forms of interaction with the reader through new technologies and disseminates possible narratives formerly excluded from journalism. The changes in journalistic practice and narrative are researched in texts from three electronic publications in electronic media: Noblat`s Blog, by Ricardo Noblat, Moreno`s Blog, by Jorge Bastos Moreno, and the blog Nos Bastidores do Poder [Power - Behind the Scenes], by Josias de Souza - respectively published in the following portals: Estadão.com, Globo Online and Folha Online. The choice is due to the hypothesis that journalism is able to reinvent itself creatively in the very same publications which made it a hegemonic practice. The analyses of the texts include not only content produced by journalists but also comments by readers - considered here as an active area in the communication process.

Full textAbstract:
In this piece of literature, storytelling is used as a method towards understanding, knowing, and validating the experience of the “other”, in this case Mexican immigrants of all shapes and colors, sexual preferences, and diverse socioeconomic standing. I would like to shift the discourse from their potential as socioeconomic assets towards a recognition of their essence as participating members of our community. Immigrants are artists, they are intellectuals, they are leaders. They are simply not given the space in American society to develop their potential without being chained down to the “immigrant” label. I would like to stress the recognition of fluidity and diversity within this marginalized group, in the sense that to assume a homogeneous experience for this population aggravates the gap of understanding, tolerance, acceptance, and celebration of this rich community. Hegemonic forces have kept immigrants in the shadows, blinded, and hidden from the rest of society. My ultimate goal is to promote an idea of fearless engagement in active, undisciplined, self-determined embracement of the hybrid culture that remains buried under layers of socially constructed self-disciplining forces of domination.

Strange Cartographies This accompanying reflective thesis seeks to contextualise the collection and explore its creative genesis. The thesis explores the ways in which the creative process can be mapped with reference to notions of otherness, and asserts that the creative process can be viewed as a foreign space to which the poet is granted access via a process of selfmythologisation. With reference to my own creative process, I will explore how the language of undoing places the poet within the space of the poem, and how the I/you binary is subverted by the presence of this third, more elusive, element.

Full textAbstract:
Reference resolution is a major component of any natural language system. In the past 30 years significant progress has been made in coreference resolution. However, there is more anaphora in texts than coreference. I present a computational treatment of other-anaphora, i.e., referential noun phrases (NPs) with non-pronominal heads modi- fied by “other” or “another”: [. . . ] the move is designed to more accurately reflect the value of products and to put steel on more equal footing with other commodities. Such NPs are anaphoric (i.e., they cannot be interpreted in isolation), with an antecedent that may occur in the previous discourse or the speaker’s and hearer’s mutual knowledge. For instance, in the example above, the NP “other commodities” refers to a set of commodities excluding steel, and it can be paraphrased as “commodities other than steel”. Resolving such cases requires first identifying the correct antecedent(s) of the other-anaphors. This task is the major focus of this dissertation. Specifically, the dissertation achieves two goals. First, it describes a procedure by which antecedents of other-anaphors can be found, including constraints and preferences which narrow down the search. Second, it presents several symbolic, machine learning and hybrid resolution algorithms designed specifically for other-anaphora. All the algorithms have been implemented and tested on a corpus of examples from the Wall Street Journal. The major results of this research are the following: 1. Grammatical salience plays a lesser role in resolving other-anaphors than in resolving pronominal anaphora. Algorithms that solely rely on grammatical features achieved worse results than algorithms that used semantic features as well. 2. Semantic knowledge (such as “steel is a commodity”) is crucial in resolving other-anaphors. Algorithms that operate solely on semantic features outperformed those that operate on grammatical knowledge. 3. The quality and relevance of the semantic knowledge base is important to success. WordNet proved insufficient as a source of semantic information for resolving other-anaphora. Algorithms that use the Web as a knowledge base achieved better performance than those using WordNet, because the Web contains domain specific and general world knowledge which is not available from WordNet. 4. But semantic information by itself is not sufficient to resolve other-anaphors, as it seems to overgenerate, leading to many false positives. 5. Although semantic information is more useful than grammatical information, only integration of semantic and grammatical knowledge sources can handle the full range of phenomena. The best results were obtained from a combination of semantic and grammatical resources. 6. A probabilistic framework is best at handling the full spectrum of features, both because it does not require commitment as to the order in which the features should be applied, and because it allows features to be treated as preferences, rather than as absolute constraints. 7. A full resolution procedure for other-anaphora requires both a probabilistic model and a set of informed heuristics and back-off procedures. Such a hybrid system achieved the best results so far on other-anaphora.

Full textAbstract:
TEETH AND OTHER TALES is a novella and a collection of short stories that explore the blurry lines between illusion and reality.
Teeth, the novella, is narrated backward in time, chronicling the life of Lucy from the age of sixty-five back to seventeen. After years of surviving an oppressive marriage, Lucy escapes her husband, but in doing so abandons her three children. In order to rationalize her decisions, Lucy uses selective memory to create her own reality to the extent that she comes to believe her own delusions.
The four short stories in the collection feature protagonists who create their own personal myths and struggle to protect their distorted truths, with mixed results. These struggles between the “real,” as conventionally defined, and personal fictions are complicated by elements of magical realism and surrealism. The stories were influenced by the short fiction of Nikolai Gogol, Franz Kafka and Haruki Murakami.

Full textAbstract:
My dad had early onset Alzheimer’s disease. I first knew something was wrong with him in 1995. He was 49 then, and I was just about to start the eighth grade. That’s the summer his company backed him into a corner and told him to quit or be fired. He had worked there 14 years. They said his behavior was changing, and they thought he was doing it on purpose. It took seven years to get an actual diagnosis. The doctors looked for everything. They just thought he was too young.
I’ve relied on materials found in my parents’ house from those days. But I’ve also let my imagination run, and added some forms of my own. Besides, isn’t life just one series of what actually happened and then the years we spend looking backward at our own memories trying to sort it out? This is my Dad’s story. And, it’s my story too.

Full textAbstract:
"Moonflowers" and Other Stories is a collection of short stories focusing on complex relationships among characters who are estranged from their families and their pasts; some seek to reestablish connections, while others decide to simply walk away. All of the stories are set in Florida. In "Stained Glass," Abby returns home after seventeen years to help care for the father who disowned her. In "Blue Green Red," Melaney is compelled to find her brother after years of lying about his existence. Selina, the protagonist of "Fatty Walsh" is so embarrassed by her family she will not tell her friend Alucia where she lives, although she must ultimately choose between her younger brother and her friendship with Alucia. All of the stories in this thesis find characters desiring to establish or restore relationships despite past mistakes and grievances, evidence of their innate longing for human connection.M.F.A.

Full textAbstract:
Renovations and Other Stories is a linked collection of ten fiction stories that examines the ways by which women renew or restore themselves. The collection is set in the imaginary city of St. Clair, South Carolina, a town balancing historical accuracy with the sensational tourist industry; Carolinians who trace their ancestries back to the American Revolution with suburban newcomers; and the notion of cherishing the past with moving forward. Many of the characters struggle with identity, whether it is regional or feminine individuality. The protagonists must challenge self-image when faced with situations that make them reconsider their places in their marriages, schools, jobs, and in their lives. Relationships among women, especially mother-daughter bonds, are an important motif throughout the collection. These stories cover the lifetimes of two generations of Carolinian women. A baker struggles to break free of her Northern transient upbringing. A history student yearns to escape her past as a victim of bullying to form a new, confident identity while saying goodbye to her estranged mother. Another girl explores the confused social politics of the South which alienate her from a childhood friend. I intend to examine, through fiction, how people come to appreciate one another, often a moment too late, and how sometimes we completely misunderstand ourselves.ID: 031001372; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Includes reading list (p. 174-177).; Title from PDF title page (viewed May 21, 2013).; Thesis (M.F.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2012.

Boothroyd, David. "Metaphysics and the other." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1987. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2539/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the relationship between ethics and language in the work of the contemporary French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. The approach taken is to place his work in the context of a current debate in philosophy about the limits of language and the end(s) of philosophy. In the first chapter it looks at the place and significance of the thinking of Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Derrida in this debate, and locates Levinas' thinking within it by examining his reading of Descartes. The thesis then goes on to examine the major themes in Levinas' work and offers an interpretation of his claims for the `primacy' of the ethics which demonstrates their bearing on the traditional concern with the relationship between metaphysics and the other. The thesis makes special reference throughout to Jacques Derrida's first major essay on Levinas, `Violence and Metaphysics'. The thesis demonstrates the sense in which in Levinas `ethics' is the `enactment' of the philosophical concern with the other. It explores in detail the overlap between this concern with the other in philosophy and the relationship to the other person, in Levinas' thinking. This is undertaken, in this thesis, in the form of a detailed analysis of the relationship between the key notions of the face to face and the third party as is found in his first major work Totality and Infinity. The analysis is then extended to the later work Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence. In this context, the thesis demonstrates how the beyond being is held to signify within philosophy, by inspiring philosophy with the thought of the other. The thesis as a whole considers how, in Levinas, the beyond being and the relation to the other are antecedent to their thematic representation in philosophy. It examines how the necessity of their representation is related, in Levinas, to a certain injustice vis a vis the other person.
