Full textAbstract:
This Bachelor thesis deals with the sexual identity of Egyptian women who love and have relationships with other women. I theoretically study the state of existing literature on homosexuality in the Middle East, and I do this from a gender perspective. By looking closer at four recent books on this topic I derive two main, and contradictory, theories. The first is put forth by Joseph A Massad in his book Desiring Arabs, where he rejects the existence of homosexuality in the Middle East, declaring that same sex acts in this region don’t constitute identities, as in the West. The second theory, best represented in Samar Habib’s work Female homosexuality in the Middle East, sees past and present histories of same sex love as representations of homosexuality. The empirical basis for my analysis is five in-depth interviews with Egyptian women having sexual relationships with women. Examining my material I find a negation of Massad’s theory and a confirmation of Habib’s, the women indeed describe sexual identities. I look into these descriptions and see how the women have reached this point of realizing – or coming to terms. I also study their narratives of passing, as heterosexual women, in order to avoid repression. The women’s knowledge of society’s prejudice gives the explanation for their choices of passing, but at the same time the women’s stories show a will to challenge the view on lesbian women and resist the compulsory heterosexuality.

Tarnowska, E. H. "Passing from the night : myth in American narratives of the Vietnam War." Thesis, Swansea University, 1995. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.639163.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses mythology as expressed in selected American narratives of the Vietnam War. Myth not only manifests itself in literature, but also impinges on interpretations of history, and on political rhetorics. I distinguish, therefore, between primary, national (historical), and political myths as three interlocking levels within the mythological system. The narrative structure of the primary myth combines Campbell's pattern of the universal hero-myth and the symbology of Jung's archetypes. This constitutes the virtually universal foundation of all myths, including national myths, and their contemporary offspring - political myths. The appeal of political and national mythologies depends on the universal message of the primary narrative. The archetypal hero-tale with its quest-journey and initiation sequence remains valid as a paradigm for war literature. This is also the structural frame of Vietnam narratives which reiterate the hero-myth pattern in concrete historical circumstances. Literature rewrites and mythologises the war. Vietnam authors tend to go away from the tenets of political and national myth, and turn towards the universal themes of the initiation of a warrior, or of atonement and redemption. The writing of Mailer, Herr, and O'Brien involves a quest for the hidden meaning of conflict (chapters 1, 3). Other authors also seek to determine whether the combat experience is an ultimate test for potentially glorious warriors, or a spiritual descent of fallen heroes (chapters 4, 5).

Moynihan, Sinéad. "Fictions of law and custom : passing narratives at the fins des siècles." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2007. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14442/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines narratives of passing of the nineteenth- and twentieth century fins de siècle. My central thesis is that passing narratives of the 1990s and beyond evidence symmetry between the tropes of passing that occur at plot level and passing strategies surrounding the production of the texts themselves. I argue that the connections between passing and authorship that emerge in contemporary stories invite us to reconsider extant interpretations of earlier passing stories, specifically those published at the turn of the twentieth century. The Introduction challenges the historiography of the passing narrative traced in existing studies of passing. It also suggests the ways in which authorship and passing are inextricably linked via the arbitrary standard of "authenticity," both authorial and racial. In Chapter One, I examine the relationship between the African American body-as-text and the African American author who produces a text in The Bondwoman's Narrative (date unknown), Philip Roth's The Human Stain (2000) and Percival Everett's Erasure (2001). Chapter Two takes the self-reflexive detective genre and traces the changing roles of the passing character within the conventions of the form, from femme fatale to hard-boiled detective. Here, I focus specifically on Pauline Hopkins's Hagar's Daughter (1901-1902), Walter Mosley's Devil in a Blue Dress (1990) and Robert Skinner's Wesley Farrell series (1997-2002). In Chapter Three, I examine texts whose protagonists' gender and/or racial ambiguity serve to destabilise analogously the religious categories under interrogation in those texts, namely Hopkins's Winona (1902) and Louise Erdrich's Tracks (1988) and The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse (2001). Chapter Four examines tropes of passing in relation to three contemporary novels of adolescence, Paul Beatty's The White Boy Shuffle (1996), Danzy Senna's Caucasia (1998) and Jeffrey Eugenides's Middlesex (2002). Finally, the Conclusion discusses recent controversies of authorship and authenticity in the U.S., particularly as these pertain to the ambiguous literary category of "memoir."

L’objet de cette recherche est de revisiter la notion d’intrigue dans le Nouveau Roman après une campagne de dénigrement théorique menée par certains nouveaux romanciers. Une reconsidération qui s’inspire essentiellement des travaux de Paul Ricoeur sur « La Mise en intrigue » et qui se fonde principalement sur les études récentes de Raphaël Baroni sur « la tension narrative ». Dans la première partie il s’agit de remettre en perspective littéraire et critique cette notion en la confrontant au roman dit « traditionnel » et en parcourant les travaux nombreux des écrivains, critiques et théoriciens qui ont abordé cette question.La deuxième partie est concrètement une mise en chantier où sont éprouvées les idées de fiction, de passion, de suspense et de tension.Enfin la dernière partie est une sorte de reprise d’un modèle précis d’intrigue qui est celui du roman policier dans la perspective de mettre en évidence son aspect passionnant et passionnelThe object of this research is to revisit the notion of “intrigue” in the new novel after a campaign of theoretical belittlement led by certain new novelists. A reconsideration which is essentially inspired by Paul Ricoeur’s works on “ the stake in intrigue” and which is based mainly on the recent studies of Raphaël Baroni on the narrative tension.In the first part it is question of handling in literary and critical perspective this notion by confronting it with the so-called “traditional” novel and by examining the numerous works of the writers, the critics and the theorists who approached this question.The second part is concretely and deeply analysed where the ideas of fiction, passion, suspense and tension are studied. Finally the last part is a kind of resumption of precise model of “intrigue” which is the one of the detective novel in the perspective to bring to light its fascinating and passionate aspect

This research is presented as a history narrative of manual embroidery practice in Passira, a city locaded in rural zone from Pernambuco. A tradition, an art, a heritage, an economic product, a knowing / doing that, from the 1980s was widespread as identity symbol, making this city be recognized - and recognize - as the "Land Embroidery Manual". First the reader is located on the city's history, from the time when it was a village, through his fame as the "land of corn," to be known strong production manual embroidery. The main objective is to examine events that caused the manual embroidery were to be cultural heritage Passira. From then on, the tone becomes embroidery, their meanings and some of its approaches. There is talk about the Fair Embroidery Passira Manual, annual event that takes place for more than 20 years, a place of marketing and dissemination of this embroidery. There is talk about the women said space and the performance of those women who are artisans, but they are also entrepreneurs, and the performance of some cooperatives and associations to score together these embroiderers. Finally, the issue of manual embroidery as cultural heritage is again discussed, this time from the perspective of the absence of a formal heritage education. The final considerations concludes what we could discuss during the narrative and ensures that there is still a lot to learn about this practice and its historical background.
Essa pesquisa se apresenta como uma narrativa da história da prática do bordado manual em Passira, cidade localizada no agreste pernambucano. Uma tradição, uma arte, um patrimônio, um produto econômico, um saber/fazer que, a partir década de 1980 foi disseminado como símbolo indentitário, fazendo essa cidade ser reconhecida – e se reconhecer – como a “Terra do Bordado Manual”. Primeiro situa-se o leitor sobre a história da cidade, desde a época em que era um povoado, passando por sua fama como a “terra do milho”, até ser conhecida pela forte produção de bordado manual. O objetivo principal é examinar que acontecimentos fizeram com que o bordado manual viesse a ser patrimônio cultural em Passira. A partir de então, o mote passa a ser o bordado, seus significados e algumas de suas abordagens. Fala-se sobre a Feira do Bordado Manual de Passira, evento anual que acontece há mais de 20 anos, um lugar de comercialização e difusão desse bordado. Fala-se sobre o dito espaço feminino e a atuação dessas mulheres que são artesãs, mas também são empresárias, e pontua-se o desempenho de algumas cooperativas e associações junto a essas bordadeiras. Por fim, a questão do bordado manual como patrimônio cultural volta a ser discutida, dessa vez, pela perspectiva da ausência de uma educação patrimonial formalizada. As considerações finais arremata o que foi possível discutir durante a narrativa e assegura que ainda há muito que se estudar a respeito dessa prática e seu percurso histórico.

Petit, Adrienne. "Le Discours romanesque des passions. Rhétorique et poétique des passions dans la fiction narrative en prose du XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040171.
Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est d’étudier les changements qui s’opèrent au cours du XVIIe siècle dans la manière dont les passions sont exprimées et représentées dans la fiction narrative en prose. Avec le passage des longs romans aux nouvelles galantes, la date de 1660 est souvent considérée comme une date charnière pour le genre romanesque. Ce renouveau formel intéresse tout particulièrement la question de l’affectivité – aussi bien sur les plans stylistique, énonciatif que pragmatique. Alors que l’expression pathétique se voit redéfinie par la critique de l’ornement et la promotion du naturel, les vicissitudes du roman semblent en partie corrélées à celles de l’art de parler. Travaillant sur le siècle en son entier, à partir d’un vaste choix de textes fictionnels, de rhétoriques et de poétiques, nous avons voulu décrire une à une les étapes de ce bouleversement. Cette mise en perspective invite à nuancer le caractère novateur de la nouvelle historique et galante. Si le roman baroque se présente comme une anthologie de discours passionnés, on assiste, dès les années 1620, à l’effacement de la voix narrative et, par conséquent, des marques d’une narration émue. De même, le psycho-récit qui est associé dans l’histoire littéraire à La Princesse de Clèves est déjà une technique narrative bien attestée dans le premier XVIIe siècle. Nous inscrivant dans la lignée d’une histoire des formes littéraires, nous souhaiterions proposer une nouvelle périodisation du genre romanesque, à partir de l’examen de la sémiotisation des passionsThis PhD dissertation aims at studying the changes that took place during the XVIIth century in the way passions are expressed and represented in narrative fiction in prose. With the transition from long novels (« longs romans ») to the « nouvelles galantes », the year 1660 is often considered a landmark date for the novelistic genre. This formal renewal has a particular bearing on the question of affectivity, from a stylistic, enunciative and pragmatic point of view. Whereas pathetic expression is redefined by the critique of ornament and the promotion of the natural, the vissicitudes of the novel seem to be partly correlated to those of the art of speaking. By taking the whole century as our object of study, through a vast choice of fictional, rhetoric and poetic texts, we have tried to describe one by one the stages of this evolution. This perspective leads us to qualify the innovative character of the « nouvelle historique et galante ». The baroque novel presents itself as an anthology of passionate discourses. However, from the 1620s on, a fading away of the narrative voice, and consequently of the marks of an emotional narration, take place. Equally, the psycho-narration associated in literary history with the Princesse de Clèves is already a well attested narrative technique in the first XVIIth century. Following the tradition of the history of literary forms, we wish to offer a new periodisation of the novelistic genre, through the analysis of the semiotisation of passions

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet les images narratives de la Passion du Christ dans les peintures murales tardobyzantines, leur place et leur fonctionnement dans l’espace rituel dont elles constituent le décor. Développé en dessous des images du Dodekaorton, il a une forme et une place très particulières : faisant le tour de la nef et intégrant généralement le sanctuaire dans son parcours, il participe de la construction de l’espace cultuel. Cette approche des images a montré que la forme narrative donnée à ces cycles composant les décors pariétaux, loin d’être fortuite, est porteuse de sens et de discours. Décorant d’abord des fondations byzantines prestigieuses à la fin du XIIIe siècle, le motif ne tarde pas à apparaître dans les églises serbes peintes dans l’entourage du Kralj Milutin, avant de devenir courant dans des monuments plus modestes. Le cycle est envisagé dans sa globalité et non image par image, à l’aide des outils traditionnels de l’iconographie mais aussi de la narratologie, ce qui a permis de mettre en évidence sa structure narrative. Dans une troisième partie, le fonctionnement liturgique du cycle est détaillé, révélant un discours eucharistique et mystagogique qui n’est pas tant superposé au récit en images, qu’il n’est au contraire produit par luiThis doctoral thesis addresses the narrative images of the Passion of Christ in Late Byzantine mural paintings, their place and their ritual function. This cycle, which takes place under the Dodekaorton, has a clear sequence. Going around the nave and generally passing through the sanctuary space, it participated in the construction of the worship space. A study of the images used shows that such the narrative form given to these cycles, far from being accidental, is a carrier of meaning and discourse. Firstly decorating prestigious Byzantine foundations in the late thirteenth century, this kind cycle soon appeared in Serbian churches painted in the Kralj Milutin’s milieu and then became common in more modest monuments. In this study, the cycle is considered as a whole, using the traditional tools of iconography but also narratology, which helped to highlight its narrative structure. At last, the liturgical function of the cycle is explored, revealing a Eucharistic and mystagogic discours produced by the narrative

Full textAbstract:
Since the eighteenth century, various hypotheses have been proposed by scholars in an attempt to solve the Synoptic Question. Most of these scholars have used more or less the same Greek text, yet they have come up with different conclusions. So, the question arises whether it is possible to find a trend in the manuscripts dating up to the fifth century which sheds additional clues on the relationships among the Synoptic Gospels. To address this, I have taken the text of the 27th edition of Nestle-Aland as the basis for analysis through the use of the colour-coded scheme proposed by the Karawara Gospels Project. However, in the same colour-coding exercise, the variant readings from the relevant manuscripts are also displayed. This facilitates the identification of any particularities.
Since the Synoptic Gospels contain too much to cover within the constraints of this research project, there is a need to select enough material to make the study relevant. The passion narrative has been selected on the basis of its content and the generally agreed closeness of the texts in all three Synoptic Gospels. So, all the sections, as defined in the Aland Synopsis, in the Triple Tradition are colour-coded and analysed. The relevant variant readings in these sections are also taken into consideration. To display the colour-coding more accurately, it was found that a commonly used and available format is more appropriate since printing is still not a viable alternative. Thus, all the colour-coded sections, as found on the attached CD ROM, are converted into the PDF format and the Adobe Acrobat Reader, widely available through the Internet, can be used to view them. This study has pointed out that in spite of the commonly agreed closeness of the texts, that of Luke varies quite markedly from the other two.

Dans ce travail on tente de réperer les règles sintactiques et sémantiques qui président à la construction d’une cohérence finale et de montrer les apories qui eloignent toujours le corps vivant de l’œuvre d’art de toute surdétermination théorique. Le parcours de ce travail à l’intérieur de la clôture narrative tache d’illustrer l’opposition des forces en jeu dans les textes : comment cette opposition se développe et comment elle se resout. Dans ce processus, la fin a été considéré comme la limite physique au-delà de laquelle la dynamique entre les tendances en opposition ne pourra plus changer. Le roman réaliste-naturaliste avait cela d’intéressant en tant qu’objet de la recherche : il affichait la volonté de priver la sortie du texte de toute emphase et de toute signification forte. Cette recherche est une enquête au niveau des contrastes entre les trois paramètres, dont l’intéraction au moment terminal du texte est censée produire chez le lecteur un ‘effet de fini’ : fin/finition/finalité. La typologie qui s’est dessinée à partir de cette enquête se développe en trois modèles qui, chacun d’un manière différente, resout l’équilibre entre les voix opposées du texte : le concepte de ‘formation de compromis’ a paru central pour la description de ces dynamiques. Le jeu d’équilibres entre tendances opposées dans le texte littéraire a été exprimé par un système de figures réthoriques (metaphore, ironie, sinecdoque et litote) qui ont paru efficaces pour interpreter ce même jeu et incarner les dynamiques. Ce patrimoine de figures sans doute représente en lui-même un corpus de paradygmes de formation de compromis et s’offre tel un précieux arsenal pour la description et l’organisation de ces phénomènes littérairesIn this work, after giving a definition of closure as a process to build the meaning and the coherence of the text, I suggest a typology of closure in the european realistic novels, focusing on the Italian and French literature between 1857 (the date of the trial against Mme Bovary) and 1901 (the date of the italian novel Il Marchese di Roccaverdina by Capuana) while approaching the international impact of the discussion about the genre at that time. The idea of an open-ending related to the novel of the end of XIXth century is almost a stereotype, especially because the authors – according to Flaubert – struggled against the narrative ending. My purpose is also to correct this opinion and, working on a new typolgy, show that very often, even the realistic novel cannot avoid a closed representation of the world, despite the authors’ intentions. My typology is founded on the concept of compromise between the different voices and the different issues at work in the novel: every single paradigm is expressed by a rhetorical figure as a model of compromise in itself. I analyze a large corpus of the XIXth century novels’ endings (but I also give examples in a larger historical perspective), I show the dialectic structure of the end of the novel where formal structures, figures of style, themes are all proves of the efficacity and the coherence - or the incoherence - of the text. Finally I show how the text solves the dialectical conflict between different voices and how it builds a closed or open representation of the world

Full textAbstract:
Barbey d'Aurevilly goza de una gran popularidad hoy en día, y se manifiesta en numerosos estudios. Jacques Petit es el crítico que más ha contribuido a este resurgir. Tras una primera lectura de su creación literaria, la destrucción es el tema más revelador. La muerte era uno de los temas más obsesivos para los románticos, sobre todo para Barbey d'Aurevilly que nació el día 2 de noviembre de 1808, el día de los difuntos. Barbey d'Aurevilly proyecta en sus relatos todas las contradicciones que lo conmueven incesantemente. Advierte que las pasiones, los crímenes, la perversidad, el deseo de destrucción (odio, venganza, suicidio...) no son temas superficiales, en tanto y en cuanto se amparan del ser humano y no cesan hasta ver cumplidos sus actos, esto es, la destrucción. Actos que nos inspiran terror. El motivo del suicidio va acompañado del sufrimiento bajo sus formas: mental, moral, miedo, ansia... La mayoría de los personajes femeninos sucumben a pesar de su maldad, de su satanismo. Su destrucción nos deja en la duda, en la incertidumbre debido al desconocimiento de su muerte. El misterio ocupa un lugar preponderante, nos toca adivinar las causas. La imagen de la mujer es la imagen del pecado, de la culpabilidad, de la maldad. Su belleza aparece como una flor venenosa y peligrosa; por lo tanto, su influencia es siempre perniciosa. El amor que vislumbramos en los relatos es un amor homicida, se muestra destructivo; no existe entre los personajes "aurevilliens". Sin lugar a dudas, el universo literario de Barbey d'Aurevilly es trágico.Barbey d'Aurevilly enjoys great popularity today, and manifests itself in many studies. Jacques Petit is the critic who has most contributed to this resurgence. After a first reading of his literary creation, destruction is the most revealing. Death was one of the most obsessive for romantics, especially for Barbey d'Aurevilly who was born on 2 November 1808, the day of the dead. Barbey d'Aurevilly projected into their stories all the contradictions which moved incessantly. He warns that the passions, crimes, evil, the desire for destruction (hatred, revenge, suicide ...) are not surface issues, as long as human beings find shelter and never stop until she reached her actions, this is destruction. Terror acts that inspire us. The reason of suicide is accompanied by suffering under its forms: mental, moral, fear, anxiety ... Most female characters succumb in spite of their lawlessness, their Satanism. Its destruction leaves us in doubt, uncertainty due to ignorance of his death. The mystery looms large, we have to guess the causes. The image of women is the image of sin, guilt, of evil. Her beauty is like a flower poisonous and dangerous; therefore, its influence is always harmful. The love that we see in the stories is a love killer, showing destructive, not between the characters "aurevilliens". Undoubtedly, the literary world of Barbey d'Aurevilly is tragic.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis film In the Eyes of Others is the result of three-years of research on viewers' fascination with horror films, Brazil televisions' seeming non-stop broadcast of news about crimes of passion, and my study of the link between crimes of passion and domestic violence. The film tells the story of Amanda and Jack, a battered woman and her abusive husband, who, in the eyes of others, seem like the perfect couple. By showing one of the possible tragic outcomes of a life where violence against women is hidden from the eyes of society, my goal with In the Eyes of Others is to advocate the end of violence against women and to promote discussion that will lead us to gender equality.

Full textAbstract:
O presente estudo tem o objetivo de lançar um olhar crítico e documental sobre experimentações surgidas na ficção televisiva brasileira com a introdução de plataformas tecnológicas que possibilitaram a difusão do conteúdo em outras telas. Para isso, investiga as cenas estendidas e publicadas como exclusivas no site da telenovela Passione, da Rede Globo, exibida de maio de 2010 a janeiro de 2011. Essas cenas representaram um \"ensaio\" de criação de linguagem que abre questionamentos significativos no campo da linguagem da produção em uma época marcada pelas alterações dos papéis do emissor, do receptor e dos meios de comunicação. Com esse objetivo, o trabalho propõe uma análise daquelas cenas da telenovela que, produzidas exclusivamente para o site, estendem a narrativa da TV para a internet. Partindo de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, indica discussões possíveis acerca da linguagem complexa e da expressão artística e, dessa forma, o trabalho busca examinar o objeto por meio de uma série de lentes epistemológicas. A abordagem teórica do trabalho, com sustentação nos Estudos Culturais e suas ramificações na América Latina, visa aproximar-se do tema da transmidiação, atravessando questões relacionadas ao pensamento complexo e a cultura das redes. Portanto, tem um papel de revisão ao mesmo tempo em que coloca propostas de modelos de análise em um momento histórico em que os existentes se mostram muitas vezes insuficientes para dar conta da complexidade das práticas sociais envolvidas na Comunicação. Uma das hipóteses que trazemos à luz é que o conceito de autoria encontra-se ampliado pela interatividade, pelos sistemas colaborativos e interativos e pela produção dos fãs; o que leva o polo da produção a pesquisar e experimentar diferentes possibilidades criativas. Como procedimento metodológico, utilizamos o estudo de caso das cenas estendidas da telenovela Passione e, em paralelo, consideramos a linguagem de outros transbordamentos para múltiplas plataformas, realizando uma abordagem qualitativa documental. Dessa forma, o processo metodológico se desdobrou de maneira simultânea e complementar: (a) no acompanhamento da telenovela pela TV analógica e digital; (b) no acompanhamento do site antes, durante e após a exibição da telenovela, com interatividade pessoal; (c) no acompanhamento de outras plataformas; (d) no acompanhamento das cenas estendidas. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por 211 cenas estendidas de Passione que estavam no ar, no site, na Aba Personagens, no mês de junho de 2011 e que foram organizadas e transcritas para análise. Colocado no papel de confidente e com forte expectativa de interagir, o espectador, olhado pelas lentes teóricas e metodológicas de nossa pesquisa, transforma-se em ex-pectador. O ex-pectador é aquele que está em rede, está com.The following study objective is to create a critical view about one of the instances of experimentation on brazilian TV fiction with the introduction of technologic platforms which enabled the broadcast of content to other screens. To reach that objective, this paper investigates the extended scenes published as exclusive content at Rede Globo\'s telenovela Passione website, available from May 2010 through January 2011. These scenes represented an essay of language creation that opens significant questioning in the field of production language in an age marked by changes in the role of the broadcaster, changes on the receiver end of the spectrum and in communication methods. With this objective, this study proposes to review these telenovela scenes produced exclusively to the website, expanding the story from the television to the internet. Following distinct visions, it indicates possible discussions about the complex language and artistic expression and, in this way, the study proposes to examine the same object through a series of epistemological lenses. The theoretical structure of this essay has, therefore, a role of revision, exposing proposals of review models in a historic moment in which the existing ones can no longer explain the complexity of communications. One hypothesis that we bring to light is that the concept of authorship finds itself amplified by interactivity, by collaborative and interactive systems and by fan creation; which leads to the point of production to research and experiment different creative possibilities. As a methodological procedure, we use the study of subject of extended scenes from telenovela Passione and, in the same time, consider the language of other creations to multiple platforms, doing a qualitative and documental approach. In that way, the methodological process unfolded in a simultaneous and complementary manner: (a) following up the telenovela by analogic and digital television; (b) following up the website before, during and after the presentation of the telenovela with personal interactivity; (c) following up other platforms; (d) following up the extended scenes. The research body is comprised of 211 extended scenes of Passione that were available on its website in the \'personagens\' tab in July 2011. Those of which were organized and transcripted for analysis. In the role of confidant and with great expectations to interact, the spectator, looking through the theoretical and methodological lenses of our research, transforms into an ex-pectador. The ex-pectador is the one who is in ring.

Esta tese tem como objetivo verificar em que medida as relações de poder e cultura interferem nos processos administrativos e no desempenho das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) particulares. A hipótese norteadora da pesquisa é a de que é esta relação entre cultura e poder, associada à insegurança instigada pela competitividade que ativa tensividades e propiciam discursos inovadores com práticas conservadoras. O levantamento teórico contribuiu para a compreensão dessas organizações e de suas relações socioculturais. A pesquisa de campo revelou: a maior parte das IES privadas visitadas, independente do seu tamanho, não possui programas de integração e de interação dos indivíduos. Devido à sua origem de colégio e por serem empresas familiares, predomina a cultura patriarcal, o que permite a informalidade, centralização de poder, administração burocrática e tradicional. Quanto à comunicação, ou é compreendida como recursos tecnológicos de informação, ou como propaganda e marketing. As ações comunicativas são, via de regra, dirigidas ao público externo e à captação de alunos, em função do objetivo empresarial com vistas ao custo / lucro. Concluiu-se que as IES particulares visitadas precisam conhecer melhor o papel do profissional de relações públicas e entender a comunicação como função estratégica para cumprir sua missão com qualidade, atingir seus objetivos, cultivar seus valores, integrar e aproximar seus públicos.The aim of this thesis is to check how the relations of power and culture interfere with the administration processes and with the performance of the Private Superior Teaching Institutions.The guiding hypothesis of the research states that it is this relationship between culture and power, allied to the insecurity fomented by the competitiveness which activates tensitivenesses and propitiates innovatory speeches with conservatory practices. The theoretical research contributed to the understanding of these organizations and their social-cultural relationships. The field research detected: most Private Superior Teaching Institutions that have been visited, not considering their size, don`t have programmes of either integration or interaction among the individuals. Because of having started as grammar-schools and because they are family companies, the patriarchial culture still dominates;this favours the informality, power centralization, burocratic and traditional administration. As for communication, this is understood as information technological resourses, as advertisement and marketing. The communicative actions usually aim the outside public and the calling of new students, because of the company aim which considers the cost/profit. So, it is concluded that the Private Superior Teaching Institutions that have been visited need to know much better the role of the public relations professional and understand the communication as a strategical function in order to fulfil their vocation with quality, to reach their aims, to keep up their values, to integrate and to approximate their public.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation seeks to further develop the existing appreciation of the role of women around Jesus, by analysing selected texts within the canonical passion and empty tomb narratives. One of the issues that will be explored concerns the historicity and significance of the canonical empty tomb tradition, in which women are portrayed as the primary witnesses to the empty tomb and the resurrection. By tracing the history and the development of five selected texts within the canonical passion and empty tomb narratives, this dissertation will explore the role and function of women around Jesus. In addition, I will endeavour to motivate the inclusion and portrayal of women in these canonical texts based on a comparison of the treatment of these women by the canonical gospel writers. In order to re-evaluate the significance of the illustrated behaviour of women in the canonical passion and empty tomb narratives, five texts will be examined, beginning with the tradition of the woman anointing Jesus. The actions described in these texts will be situated within the socio-cultural context of first-century Palestine and compared to the funerary customs prevalent in Ancient Judaism. Furthermore the historicity and transmission history of these texts will be examined by applying both redaction criticism and tradition history to the texts. This dissertation will demonstrate that the tradition of the woman anointing Jesus and the tradition at the empty tomb depict behaviour, which is contrary to the culturally expected conduct of women regarding funerary customs within Ancient Judaism. However. the texts containing women's activities before. during and immediately after the passion narratives illustrate conduct. that corresponds to the customary mourning practices. Redactional analyses of the texts further indicate the awkwardness of portraying women as credible witnesses within the androcentric character of the patriarchal culture in first-century Palestine. This dissertation argues that. in terms of the criterion of cultural dissimilarity. the anointing tradition and the empty tomb tradition are most likely based on early forms of the traditions emerging during the oral period. This suggests strongly that women were the first witnesses to the empty tomb.

Full textAbstract:
Les études consacrées aux témoignages d’enfants portent exclusivement, pour d’évidentes raisons historiques, sur leur valeur testimoniale. Les récits étudiés dans cette recherche présentent un autre caractère distinctif : leur contexte et leur thème, la guerre. Le choix des textes appartenant à quatre cultures et domaines linguistiques différents – néerlandais et serbo-croate (étudiés en traduction française), anglais, persan et italien – permet de proposer une analyse dans une perspective comparatiste. Cette étude s’interroge sur les motivations et les choix d’écriture de ces jeunes auteurs (âgés de 7 à 15 ans), et sur les motivations et les pratiques éditoriales de ceux qui les publient ou les font publier. Elle tente aussi d’observer les procédés de mise en textualité d’une fiction de l’enfance. En effet, si la guerre est un sujet, l’image qu’elle produit dans l’esprit d’un enfant ou d’un adolescent et la manière dont il la raconte en sont un autre. Notre travail tente d’analyser l’aspect narratif des écrits des enfants de la guerre et d’observer leur réception en se fondant sur deux postulats. D’abord, nous nous interrogeons sur l’histoire de la publication des écrits des enfants et sur le rapport entre la guerre et la pratique de faire publier les témoignages d’enfants. Ensuite, nous estimons que l’importance de ces écrits n’est pas seulement liée à leur dimension psychologique ou socio-historique, mais aussi à leur aspect narratif. Car c’est l’usage des éléments narratifs qui donne à leurs récits une dimension qui les différencie des simples paroles d’enfantsFor obvious historical reasons, the many existing studies made on accounts given by children focus on their value of testimony or their psychological and socio-historical aspect. The tales, which are the object of our study, have indeed another distinctive characteristic: that is war, as their main topic and background. The selection of texts coming from four different cultures and linguistic fields _Dutch and Serbo-Croatian (both studied in French translation), English, Persian and Italian_, suggest their analysis through a new comparative perspective. This is the reason why this study questions the choice of writing made by young authors (from 7 to 15 years old) and their motivations, as well as the editorial practices and motives of those publishing their works or having them published. The study also tries to observe the textualization process of a childhood fiction. In fact, it is not only about studying war as a topic, but also how it is perceived by a child or a teenager, and what description he/she can make of it. Based on these two postulates, our attempt is to analyze the narrative aspect of the texts written by children of the war and examine their perception of the conflicts. In the first place, we will study the history of children's works publication in order to bring light to the connection existing between war and the practice of having children’s testimonials published. Afterwards, we consider the importance of these writings is not only due to their psychological or socio-historical dimension, but also to their narrative aspect. Because the use of narrative elements gives a dimension differentiating them from mere children’s words

A literatura é um tipo de conhecimento que faz uso da palavra com a finalidade de projetar realidades possíveis. Para tanto, a mimese literária tem na experiência vivencial a verossimilhança que torna possível a apreensão da obra literária como fenômeno interpretativo. Nesse processo de composição, o gênero literário converte-se no conjunto de convenções que o autor se vale para fazer-se inteligível a seu público. As narrativas bíblicas e, em especial, o Evangelho Segundo São Mateus, possuem elementos que permitem sua leitura como obras literárias próprias da Antiguidade, cujas estratégias narrativas se mostram construtoras de representação verossímil da realidade. Para tanto, o narrador do Evangelho Segundo São Mateus utilizou-se daquelas convenções que se conformavam ao horizonte de expectativas de seu público e que articulam experiências advindas da literatura greco-romana e da literatura judaica. No caso da Paixão de Cristo Segundo São Mateus, o narrador empreende um conjunto de estratégias narrativas que favorecem sua condução da leitura da narrativa de acordo com sua perspectiva. Nesse processo, vale-se de uma estrutura que combina a biografia greco-romana àquela já consagrada na literatura bíblica. Dessa forma, a Paixão de Cristo nos é apresentada como parte final da história, numa perspectiva paradigmática e, ao mesmo tempo, como realização das Escrituras, que figuram e profetizam a respeito de Jesus e a natureza redimensionadora e universalizadora da salvação.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the fresco decoration of Santa Maria ad Cryptas. The frescoes are described and analyzed, and then compared to similar programs in order to determine which features are based on earlier sources, and which are unusual or unique to this particular church. The traditional features are found to reflect a long-established pattern of church decoration reflected in such monuments as Old Saint Peter’s, Sant’Angelo in Formis, the Cathedral of Monreale, and the Cappella Palatina. The unusual features (including the placement of the Passion cycle in the presbytery, and the location of the Crucifixion over the altar) are explained as modifications that emphasize themes of local importance, or of special significance to the patron. The Fossa frescoes utilize programmatic elements, such as the Old and New Testament narrative cycles, to explain sacred history as it related to a medieval man of the patron’s class and profession.

A violência de gênero constitui uma problemática relevante em nossa sociedade. Nos casos mais graves, pode culminar em episódios de extrema violência, os homicídios passionais. Objetivos: Este estudo investigou a história de vida e dos relacionamentos amorosos de autores de homicídios passionais, identificando suas vivências e narrativas sobre os eventos desta trajetória, até o cometimento do crime. Método: Foi utilizado o procedimento de estudo de casos múltiplos. Participaram três homens condenados e presos por homicídio qualificado das suas companheiras. Foram realizadas quatro entrevistas semiestruturadas com cada participante. Também foram utilizadas uma ficha sociodemográfica e o genograma. Resultados: Em relação às trajetórias de vida destacaram-se: violência física na infância, baixa escolaridade, inserção precoce no mundo do trabalho, vínculos com a família de origem preservados, adesão à religião evangélica, e em um dos casos, tentativa de suicídio após cometimento do homicídio. Quanto aos relacionamentos amorosos, constatou-se que os participantes apresentaram expectativas em relação a papéis tradicionais de gênero, relacionamentos breves que resultaram em coabitação, histórico de diversos relacionamentos anteriores ao envolvimento com a vítima, homicídio cometido em relacionamentos de curta duração.
Gender violence is a relevant problem in our society. In the more serious cases, it may lead to episodes of extreme violence: crimes of passion. Purposes: This study looked into the life and romantic relationship backgrounds of perpetrators of crimes of passion and analyzed their experiences and accounts of the events leading up to their crime. Method: We used the multiple case study procedure. We focused on three men convicted and imprisoned for the first-degree murder of their lovers. We conducted four semi-structured interviews with each convict. We also used social-demographic charts and genograms. Results: The following elements stand out from their backgrounds: they suffered physical violence in childhood, had low schooling levels, started working at an early age, remained close to their immediate families, were evangelicals, and one of them had attempted suicide after committing murder. As for their romantic relationships, we found that the killers had expectations regarding conventional gender roles, brief relationships that led to cohabitation, a history of several relationships before getting involved with their victims, and had been involved with their victims for a short time before killing them.

Full textAbstract:
Figures du sujet dans le roman fin de siècle des années 1990-2000, interroge, dans une perspective socio-poétique, les dispositions que prend le sujet dans deux espaces littéraires et culturels, à partir d'une étude synchronique de quelques romans tunisiens et français contemporains : Hayet ou la passion d'Elles d'Anouar Attia, Un an de Jean Echenoz, Monsieur L... d'Azza Filali, La Télévision de Jean-Philippe Toussaint et Dondog d'Antoine Volodine. Notre point de départ a été le constat d'une orientation post-formaliste dans les discours critiques littéraire et philosophique qui marquent un " retour spectral " du sujet historique. Des problèmes esthétiques, épistémologiques et poétiques sont mis en relation. Plus qu'une crise du personnage, une déficience ludique du narrateur est notée dans le corpus français. Dans une perspective sociocritique, le déficit du narrateur renvoie à une crise des institutions plutôt qu'à un abandon du projet politique de la modernité. Dans les romans tunisiens, la crise du sujet personnage est isolée. L'autorité du narrateur est maintenue, tout en étant déjouée pour signifier un écart et un désir : créer les conditions de possibilité d'une ouverture de l'expérience. La " narration discordante " est l'expression d'un problème de lisibilité du monde de la fiction. Toutefois, d'un point de vue pragmatique, les stratégies narratives de la discordance deviennent ce qui aiguise la présence du sujet lecteur, sollicité pour une contribution à la lisibilité de l'histoire. Nous y lisons, dans les deux cultures, une invitation du discours littéraire au sujet historique à tenter de tracer les contours d'une modernité politique inédite.

Full textAbstract:
La particularité de la conduite de ruse, caractérisée par une diversité étonnante des domaines où elle se manifeste et s'applique, fait de ce phénomène d'intelligence une matière privilégiée dans la production dramaturgique de Molière. Pour soulever des questions cruciales portant sur l'aveuglement, l'imposture, le pouvoir de l'imagination et ses dérèglements, le théâtre comique de Molière construit ses intrigues en exploitant les fausses apparences, le simulacre et le décalage entre l'être et le paraître identifiés dans la pratique de la ruse. La nécessité de réduire le pouvoir tyrannique des personnages tenant les clés de la décision, ou d'atteindre une ambition prédéterminée, impose une forme d'affrontement doux et masqué mené par le personnage de la ruse. La fourberie de celui-ci s'achemine par l'insinuation dans l'esprit de la cible en adoptant une stratégie persuasive, puisée à la science de la rhétorique sophistique, et élaborée en fonction des passions de l'adversaire dans le seul but de le persuader par des inventions imaginaires susceptibles de le mettre à sa merci. Cette scène d'affrontement crée l'énergie du spectacle de la ruse grâce à la virtuosité du jeu théâtral du fourbe qui se livre à des mouvements scéniques, à des mimes, à des exaltations expressives destinés à séduire le public avant la cible. Le caractère outrancier des dupes, leurs réactions burlesques, l'amplification des performances des trompeurs permettent au public de Molière de constater les défauts de sa société, d'en rire, et de vivre des moments euphoriques offerts par la comédie de la ruse.

Full textAbstract:
Quel est l’objet réel d’une transposition ? On le recherchera en explorant les différents niveaux du récit transposé et non pas seulement son « histoire ». En passant des structures narratives à l’organisation de la fiction jusqu’au niveau du discours, on peut voir que chaque palier narratif fait l’objet d’une transposition qui reconstruit pour l’opéra un conflit pathétique. La dramaturgie lyrique fait d’abord subir à l’histoire une triple opération de simplification, de stéréotypie et d’invraisemblance, qui repose cependant sur la logique stable d’un schéma narratif à partir duquel une relation de défi rhétorique s’instaure entre le discours du récit et celui de l’opéra. Sur ce dernier niveau, trois scènes de la passion sont analysées, au seul plan textuel, pour prouver que l’abolition du discours narratif n’entrave pas la transposition des émotions qu’il suscite – ce que montrent des correspondances entre les formes narratives (description, dialogue) et les formes lyriques (l’air, le duo). Pour l’opéra, le récit est donc un modèle pathétique complet et performantWhat is the underlying objective when an artist creates an adaptation? To approach this, one has to explore the different levels of the transposed narrative, not merely the "story" or "storyline". Successive examinations of the narrative structures, the ayering of the fiction, and the finished discourse reveal that each level of narration involves transposing a pathetic conflict into the operatic form. The act of musical (lyrical) dramatization imposes upon the narrative a transformation in three ways: simplification, stereotyping and a final process which deconstructs verisimilitude. These processes are founded on a highly consistent narrative structure, which sets in motion a rhetorical tension between the narrative discourse and that of the opera itself. The present work takes this function as its starting point in order to conduct a purely textual analysis of three scenes of passion – the objective being to demonstrate that subsuming or even, abolishing, the narrative discourse, does not dilute or corrupt the emotions originally conveyed – this process is shown by structural correspondances between the narrative (description and dialog) and lyrical forms (aria and duet). Thus, when transposed into the operatic form, the narrative remains a complete and convincing model of pathos

Full textAbstract:
Jesus' story has been retold in various forms and fashions for centuries. Jesus novels, a subset of the historical fiction genre, are one of the latest means of not only re-imagining the man from Galilee but also of rewriting the canonical Gospels. This thesis explores the Christological portraits constructed in four of those novels while also using the novels to examine the intertextual play of these Gospel rewrites with their Gospel progenitors. Chapter 1 offers a prolegomenon to the act of fictionalizing Jesus that discusses the relationship between the person and his portraits and the hermeneutical circle created by these texts as they both rewrite the Gospels and stimulate a rereading of them. It also establishes the "preposterous" methodology that will be used when reexamining the Gospels "post" reading the novels. Chapters 2 to 5 offer four case studies of "complementing" and "competing" novels and the techniques they use to achieve these aims: Anne Rice's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt; Neil Boyd's The Hidden Years; Nino Ricci's Testament; and José Saramago's The Gospel according to Jesus Christ. Chapter 6 begins an examination of a specific interpretive circle based upon Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Beginning with the synoptic accounts of that event, the chapter then turns to how Jesus' testing has been reinterpreted and presented in two of the novels. Returning to the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Temptation, chapter 7 offers a "preposterous" examination of that pericope, which asks novel questions of the text and its role with Matthew's narrative context based on issues raised by the Gospel rewrites. The thesis concludes by suggesting that Jesus novels, already important examples of the reception history of the Gospels, can also play a helpful role in re-interpreting the Gospels themselves.

Joel Sternfeld (1944－) is the pioneer of America contemporary color photography. Since he started his creative works in 1968, Sternfeld has published fourteen photography books of various series. Throughout the years, the works of Sternfeld gradually show his sensitivity and concern towards society and his narrative ambition. From 1985 to 2000, Sternfeld photographed strangers that he encountered when he traveled across America, and ultimately presented the works in the book Stranger Passing. Although this series depicts strangers as the theme, the photographs are not restricted to the sitters. The photographs still demonstrate the spatial context to a considerable degree. The thesis analyzes the two main aspects—strangers and spaces, focusing on Sternfeld’s interpretation of the strangers and his narrative strategy. There has been abundant literature in sociology on the subject of the stranger. Appling the sociological theories, this thesis demonstrates how Sternfeld breaks away the type of alienated strangers through his way of photographing. The photographs show the individuality of each stranger, yet they maintain the anonymity of each individual. The experience of viewing Stranger Passing differs from the sociological study of the stranger, for the viewer is encouraged to imagine the lives of the photographed strangers. This thesis considers Robin Kelsey’s relevant study of photography, focusing on the relation of chance and arrangement. Following Kelsey’s observation, we can see Sternfeld’s work is different from other photographers’ narrative strateges. While staged photography, which appropriated cinematic approach and emphasized visual drama, became the main technique, Sternfeld still continued to retain the tradition of the chance meeting inherent in taking photographs. Sternfeld chose to photograph in color and with a view camera; these technical choices show Sternfeld’s attention to the unique character of photography that captures details of the real world. On the other hand, Sternfeld does not identify with typical street photographers, who usually emphasize the decisive moment during the process of an event. On the contrary, he interrupts the flow of time. He would walk up to the strangers, inviting them to be his models of the photograph, asking them to look straight into the camera lens. Sternfeld would interrupt what the strangers were doing and converse with them. While photographing, he would let his sitters conduct their usual actions, and show the things they carry and the places they work or live in. The intriguing details of Sternfeld’s photographs enable the viewer to look closely and generate meanings. Through the analysis of the space in the Stranger Passing series, and a comparison with Sternfeld’s diverse landscape photographs, this thesis argues that the interaction of people and places shown in the Stranger Passing series, manifests the mobility states of Sternfeld and his subjects.

The main purpose of the research is to realize the sense and transformation of the researcher during the process of dancing composition. The reasearch begins from the dancing composition itself, to the rehearsal and the life experience of growing up. We discusses factors that infects dancing creation, and the way that connects dancing composition with the creator. We take the composition ‘’Passed By The World Of You’’ as an example, to analyze the process of experience transforming. The self-narrative begins from the composition and self-experience. Under the context of self-narrative, the research collects interrelated information and look into the course and arteries of life process, trying to reconstruct the realization of life transformation. According to our results, different life dimensions of the researcher effect the composition. The topic ’’Farewell’’ is highly associated with family and life experience. Through the expression of acting, dancing, and wave of body, the research also points out, that free platform, which isn’t limited by time and space, allows us to express and to release the deep feelings that buried inside our heart. Dancing itself defines a new meaning of life; also transforms the life of the researcher. In the universe of ourselves, we take a glimpse of our past and located at the best position of life. Passing through and glancing back is the way that lead us to set off.

This research aimed to explore the psychological course of individuals who could possess a sense of well-being despite the fact that they had undergone the emergence of their career goals and the failures of their goals previously. Specifically speaking, the research explored individuals' experience of passing through their failures in career goals, the internal and external resources that they used to help adapt themselves to the experience of unrealized career goals, and the influence of unrealized career goals on their life development. The researcher used purposive sampling to choose three adults who had failed to achieve their career goals but still feel a sense of well-being at present. The narrative interview data were analyzed by “holistic-content” as well as “categorical-content” approach. The result showed that the psychological course of participants who had the experience of unrealized career goals has the following characteristics: (1). Participants found their value, and tried to realize their self-value by achieving their career goals. (2). In the process of realizing the career goals, participants usually struggled with the influence from inner and outer factors, and decided to adjust their career decisions. (3). When participants decided not to realize their original career goals, they thought that they couldn’t realize their self-value, and the experience of unfinished emotions emerged. (4). Participants chose not to indulge in the emotionally-negative experiences, and tried to look for outlets. Thus the resources which could help participants adapt emerged. (5). Participants perceived that their career identity through exploring their career paths. When participants advanced on the direction of their own career identity or life theme, they started to step on the road to a happy career. In regard to the resources that participants used to adapt the experience of their unrealized career goals, the internal resources include: (1). adopting positive strategies; (2). having reality orientation and remaining flexible; (3). aggressively exploring one's career path; (4). having a positive and grateful attitude. The external resources include: (1). faith; (2). serendipitous events; (3). the role models nearby; (4). the social support. The study also found that the experience of passing through the unrealized career goals could bring the participants positive influences, including: (1). making them aware of what they really want and cherish what they have possessed; (2). broadening their vision of career choices and promoting their own career self-efficiency. According to the results of this study, individuals who adapted to the impact of unrealized career goals well can often step on the road to a happy career if they could face the situation with positive attitude and explore their personal career identity or life theme further. In the end, according to the research process and findings, the limits of this study and suggestions were also proposed.

Full textAbstract:
In my dissertation, "(W)rites of Passing: The Performance of Identity in Fiction and Personal Narratives," I explore the literary, historical, psychological and cultural dimensions of passing, particularly as it relates to race and class. Through the works of Arnold van Gennep, Stephen Greenblatt, and Victor Turner, I have discovered intriguing comparisons between the forms of "class-passing" presented in 16th and 18th century British novels with 20th and 21st century "race passing" novels. In much of my work on race passing and African American literature, I argue that while racial passing may have brought certain socio-economic benefits to those who passed (whether temporarily or permanently,) it also invariably forced them to engage in what I would describe as exercises of restraint. These exercises of restraint might manifest themselves in various forms of cultural impotency ranging from a loss and/or repression of emotional expressivity to a more extreme decision to be voluntarily childless---a forced barrenness, if you will. One of the main questions my research attempts to answer is: "Does the act of passing, whether it be through race or class, reinforce the very hierarchy it seems to subvert?" Also, if in fact race and/or class are identities that are performative, then what role does the audience play in permitting individuals to pass? In an attempt to answer these and other questions, I apply performance theory as a lens to provide a clearer and perhaps alternative perspective to the ways in which passing is both implicit (through the individual's choice to pass) and complicit (through the audience's suspension of disbelief.) My research questions how much responsibility the audience carries in the passing individual's effort to pass successfully. At the same time, I discuss how the performance element of improvisation is absolutely necessary in the process and act of passing. What I have defined as the "process of passing" is a variation of Arnold van Gennep's Rites de Passage: a performance ritual with "distinct phases in the social processes whereby groups [and individuals] become adjusted to internal changes, and adopt them to their external environment." Van Gennep's three phases of separation, transition and incorporation that define a rite of passage serve as the foundation of my definition of the process of passing.

This study explores the story of the writer's ten-year street dance life in a self-narrative manner. By reflecting on the researchers' participation in street dance, the street dance changes the life course of researchers. The researchers were born in Macau, the "world's largest casino". When he was young, they were too busy with their work, and they lacked care. Because of their dissatisfaction with the education system, he has been on the edge of education and law, and even become a sideline until he participate. The life of street dance has turned a corner. The study found that hip-hop practice is not for practicing exercises, but for more difficult movements; the street dance ecology between Macau and Taiwan is significantly different due to regional culture. Taiwan faces the misinformation of the game and the cultural essence, and Macau faces The situation of faults, by describing what happened in the past, seriously facing the true self, re-understanding oneself, can make the mind stronger and prepare for future challenges.

Full textAbstract:
A existência de uma inflexível linha de fronteira racializada, nos Estados Unidos
da América, tem sido um dos aspetos mais marcantes da história do país, praticamente
desde o seu início: a dureza da ocupação e, sobretudo, do desbravamento e exploração do
vasto território, incentivariam as potências colonizadoras a recorrer ao trabalho escravo
em larga escala, num empreendimento que assentou na formação de um conceito negativo
e desumanizador da identidade das populações escravizadas – uma imagem
diametralmente oposta à criada pelo conceito de supremacia do legado fenotípico,
espiritual e cultural europeu, que a maioria racial entendia definir a sua própria identidade,
e que sancionaria moralmente a exploração dos africanos sequestrados e dos seus
descendentes.
Numa sociedade que muito cedo construiu uma dicotomia rigidamente
hierarquizada em função de um conceito de raça fundamentado na biologia, a fronteira
racial – a “linha da cor”, na formulação de W. E. B. Du Bois – garantia, segundo a
perspetiva da maioria branca, que os campos racializados da brancura e da negrura não
só se manteriam afastados, como conservariam intactas as características físicas e
culturais que conferiam ao primeiro o seu estatuto de superioridade e ao segundo o de
inferioridade. Todavia, gerações de miscigenados, frutos sobretudo do abuso sexual das
escravas, viriam a revelar a fragilidade daquela fronteira, passível de ser transposta por
indivíduos sem vestígios visíveis da ancestralidade negra.
No panorama cultural dos Estados Unidos, e durante um longo período, a literatura
de passing espelhou este comportamento social, dando voz, em narrativas ficcionais e
não ficcionais, aos dilemas e expectativas dos protagonistas de transgressões da histórica
“linha da cor” e ao empenhamento cívico dos seus autores nas causas do abolicionismo,
primeiro, e da promoção da igualdade racial, mais tarde. Todavia, a consagração, nas leis
do país, da igualdade de direitos para todos os cidadãos, a par da democratização das
relações raciais que ocorreu gradualmente ao longo do século XX, tornaria cada vez mais
raros os relatos centrados na violação daquela fronteira – que no limiar do século XXI,
no entanto, surge representada em narrativas ficcionais cujos contextos são inspirados no
ambiente multicultural dos Estados Unidos da América. Neste trabalho, serão discutidas quatro obras representativas do ressurgimento do
tropo de passing racial na literatura norte-americana contemporânea – The Human Stain
(2000), de Philip Roth, Caucasia (1998) e Symptomatic (2004), de Danzy Senna e a peça
Yellow Face (2007), de David Henry Hwang; este conjunto de textos constitui o corpus
primário de uma investigação que tem por objetivo compreender que novas problemáticas
de cruzamento de fronteiras identitárias são propostas, em contextos muito diferentes dos
representados nas narrativas clássicas.
Esta pesquisa alicerça-se num aparelho teórico que estabelece a contextualização
da formação e evolução dos conceitos de raça e etnicidade e a sua articulação com
diversos paradigmas de convivência de grupos sociais na sociedade norte-americana, e
num estudo da tradição literária das narrativas de passing racial que os textos
contemporâneos invocam e reinventam; os resultados da investigação provam que,
inspiradas nos relatos clássicos de transgressão da “linha da cor” mas recorrendo a um
novo protocolo de passing, adaptado às realidades contemporâneas, as quatro obras do
corpus primário, discutidas nos capítulos três e quatro, interrogam a ontologia da
identidade e a construção identitária, justificando o título selecionado para este trabalho.The existence of an impassible racial barrier in the United States of America has been one of the most striking aspects of the country’s history, practically since its inception: the harshness of the occupation and, above all, of the vast territory’s clearing and exploration would encourage the colonizing powers to resort to slave labor on a large scale – an enterprise inseparably linked to the construction of a negative and dehumanizing image of the enslaved populations’ identity; diametrically opposed to the supremacy concept of the European phenotypical, spiritual and cultural legacy that the racial majority believed to be the definition of their own identity, the extremely unfavorable concept of blackness would morally sanction the exploitation of the abducted Africans and their descendants. In a society that very early constructed a rigidly hierarchized dichotomy based on a biological concept of race, the racial border – the “color-line” in WEB Du Bois’s formulation – ensured, according to the hegemonic majority’s perspective, that the racialized fields of whiteness and blackness would not only be kept apart, but would also preserve intact the physical and cultural characteristics which gave the former its status of superiority, and the latter that of inferiority. However, generations of mixed-race people – mostly a consequence of the female slaves’ sexual abuse by white owners – would expose the weakness of that frontier, which could be crossed by individuals without visible signs of black ancestry. In the United States cultural landscape, and for a long period, passing literature mirrored this social behavior, voicing, in fictional and nonfictional narratives, the dilemmas and expectations of color-line passers, as well as their authors’ civic commitment to the causes of abolitionism, first, and the promotion of desegregation, later. The consecration of racial equality in the country’s laws and the democratization of race relations that gradually occurred throughout the twentieth century would lead to the almost complete disappearance of reports centered on color-line transgressions – which, however, surface again in fictional narratives published on the threshold of the 21st century, in contexts inspired by the United States multicultural environment. This work discusses four novels representative of the passing trope resurgence in contemporary American literature – The Human Stain (2000), by Philip Roth, Caucasia (1998) and Symptomatic (2004), by Danzy Senna, and the play Yellow Face (2007), by David Henry Hwang; this set of texts constitutes the primary corpus of an investigation aimed at understanding what new problematizations of identity borders trespassing are proposed, in contexts significantly different from those represented in classic passing reports. This study is based on a previous survey, described in its first two sections: chapter one focuses race and ethnicity concepts formation and evolution and their articulation with the most influent paradigms of social groups interaction; chapter two describes the historical establishment of the passing narratives tradition, which is invoked and reinvented in contemporary works. The results of the research prove that, inspired by classic reports of color-line transgressions but using a new passing protocol, adapted to contemporary realities, the four texts discussed in chapters three and four interrogate identity ontology and construction, justifying the title selected for this work.
