A clear discontinuity with the larger city of New York and with the present community exists at the site. Accepting the fragmentation and aggregation (the unfinished quality) of the existing context represents the beginning of the design process. Promoting diversity, evoking sensuality through form and materiality and promoting a sense of heterogeneity will be interfused with the existing discontinuity. The design process shall be committed to a changing role in types and degrees of a variety of generative sources, depending on the relationships of these factors that arise when addressing the specific problem. All of the possible generative sources will be developed and assigned equal weight, developing numerous architectural elements or fragments. A temporary strategy requiring flexibility as to the role and the degree of influence of each of the sources will be developed and defined, Through these operations, a catalogue of inclusive solutions were made available and fused to produce a rational and calibrated design attitude. A programming and formal strategy evolved through discovery rather than irnplementation. Diagramming exercises mapping circulation, form plausibility, existing arid expected context and the hybrid program was developed with wellness as the point of programmatic departure. Reflecting both fact/science or tangible (subtly fixed generative) and intuition/idiosyncrasy or intangible (element of contradicting generative) the diagramming establishes points of formal/spatial departure. The design process will focus on a continuous matrix of architecture mediating between 'built' and 'found.' The built can be explained as that which dominates the sky or air. The found, explained as dominating surface

National parks share the same challenge debating the significance of their cultural and natural resources. In the past, many parks decided to emphasize the value of natural resources over that of their human histories. Theodore Roosevelt National Park was an exception to that trend because of its connection to President Theodore Roosevelt. In the early years of the park?s existence, National Park Service management emphasized the value of its cultural resources. The preservation and interpretation of Theodore Roosevelt?s Maltese Cross Cabin and Elkhorn Ranch were two of the park?s top priorities. Around the 1980s, park officials increasingly placed emphasis on the park?s natural resources in an attempt to balance the significance of its natural and cultural resources. Through this attempt, Theodore Roosevelt National Park has embraced the concept that human and natural history cannot and should not be separated.

This dissertation uses long-neglected or forgotten speeches and articles by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his pre-presidential life to provide a new and comprehensive narrative of his internationalist thinking as it developed to 1933. Its three parts cover FDR’s life chronologically. The first part describes the impact of his background and upbringing in the period 1882 to 1917. It examines the influence of key individuals such as Theodore Roosevelt, Alfred Thayer Mahan and Woodrow Wilson. The second part covers the years 1917 to 1920 and includes FDR’s experiences during World War I, the fight for the League of Nations and the presidential campaign of 1920. It was in this period that he developed new and lasting ideological positions in the debates on his country’s political, military, economic and moral connections to the rest of the world. The third part covers the years 1921 to 1933. Although this period saw no important new thinking, international problems, Democratic Party divisions and an apparently successful Republican foreign policy during the 1920s forced FDR to develop important communication strategies for his internationalism. In conclusion the study argues that FDR took a well developed internationalist worldview to the White House in 1933 and that knowledge of this is useful for tracing the subsequent development of his outlook.

Resumo: O objetivo principal desse trabalho é fazer uma análise jurídica sobre a mineração em terras indígenas para que se possa colaborar com a implementação legal sustentável sobre a matéria. Nesse sentido, sob a ótica do desenvolvimento sustentável, serão levados em consideração os fatores sociais, ambientais e econômicos relacionados com a atividade minerária em terras indígenas para que se obtenham subsídios fundamentados para a proposta de regulamentação do assunto. A mineração em terras indígenas possui um tratamento diferenciado por nosso ordenamento jurídico, pois para que esta ocorra, como prevê o artigo 231, § 3°, da Constituição Federal, haverá a necessidade de autorização do Congresso Nacional, ouvidas as comunidades afetadas e ficando garantida a estas uma participação nos resultados da lavra. Apesar dos longos anos de discussão, ainda hoje não houve uma manifestação definitiva do Congresso Nacional devido, principalmente, ao conflito de interesses que a matéria suscita. O objeto de estudo é a Terra Indígena Roosevelt dos povos Cinta Larga, que compõe uma das quatro aldeias do Parque Indígena Aripuanã, situado entre os Estados de Rondônia e Mato Grosso. Nos últimos anos, a área tem sido palco de muitos conflitos entre garimpeiros e indígenas pela disputa de diamantes na região. O conflito na TI Roosevelt, caracterizado pela entrada ilegal de não índios nas terras dos povos Cinta Larga para a espoliação dos recursos minerais existentes, é um fato atual decorrente de uma continuidade histórica, que denuncia a realidade de diversas outras terras indígenas no país. A ausência de políticas públicas eficazes, aliada ao preconceito e discriminação da sociedade em geral, faz com que o a problemática se perpetue e denuncie a crise de valores e percepção de nossa sociedade ocidental, que não respeita a diversidade cultural e o meio ambiente físico, colocando em risco a existência de vida no planeta
Abstract: The main objective of this work is to perform a legal analysis of mining in native people lands in order to collaborate with the sustainable legal implementation of the matter. In this sense, under the view of sustainable development, it will be taken in consideration the social, environmental and economical factors related to mining activities in native people lands, in order to obtain fundamented subsidies for the regulation proposal of the subject. The Mining in native people lands has a differentiated treatment by our legal system, therefore so that this occur, as is predicted by the article 231, § 3º, of the Federal Constitution, it will be necessary the National Congress' s authorization and hearings from the affected communities, being guaranteed to them a participation in the results of the exploration. Despite many years of discussions, nowadays a definite manifestation from the National Congress has not happened yet, mainly due to conflicts of interests that the subject excites. The object of study is the Native People Land Roosevelt of the Cinta Larga people, which composes one of the four areas of the Native People Park Aripuanã, situated between the States of Rondônia and Mato Grosso. In the past years, the area has been a place of many conflicts between miners and native people in the quarrel for diamonds in the region. The conflict in the Native People Land Roosevelt, characterized by the illegal entrance of non-natives in the lands of the Cinta Larga people for the spoliation of the existing mineral resources, is a decurrent current fact of a historical continuity, that denounces the reality of many other native lands in the country. The absence of effective publics politics, allied to the prejudice and discrimination of the society in general, allow the perpetuation of the problem and expose the value and perception crisis of our western society, that don't respect cultural diversity and the physical environment, putting in risk the existence of life in the planet

As Terras Indígenas Roosevelt e Parque Aripuanã, localizadas no sudeste de Rondônia, atualmente hospedam o principal depósito diamantífero da região (garimpo Igarapé Lajes), conhecida pela ocorrência freqüente de kimberlitos aflorantes principalmente nos municípios de Pimenta Bueno e Espigão D’Oeste. Os corpos intrudem na borda sudoeste do Cráton Amazônico (Província Rio Negro-Juruena) e os sedimentos da Bacia dos Parecis, contudo, até o momento não são conhecidos depósitos primários economicamente viáveis. Além disso, poucos estudos foram realizados sobre a região e seus diamantes. No presente trabalho, foram investigados 660 cristais de diamante provenientes do garimpo Igarapé Lajes, segundo suas características morfológicas, óticas e superficiais, utilizando técnicas de microscopia ótica e eletrônica de varredura (MEV), catodoluminescência e espectroscopia de infravermelho (FTIR). As análises demonstraram a predominância de cristais altamente reabsorvidos, com morfologia tetrahexaedróide e alta freqüência de feições de corrosão superficiais, sendo geralmente incolores a levemente amarelados com uma parcela expressiva de coloração marrom. Em virtude da associação de características de origem diferenciada, 4 grupos distintos (G1, G2, G3 e G4) foram identificados, revelando a contribuição de mais de um tipo de fonte ao depósito estudado. O grupo G1 apresenta características típicas de fontes secundárias, tais como: marcas de percussão, padrão em rede, spots de radiação verdes e marrons e superfícies de abrasão. Os grupos G2 e G4 apresentam apenas características primárias, que evidenciam ambientes de formação e transporte diferenciados. O grupo G2 exibe alta freqüência de feições deformacionais (linhas de laminação, coloração marrom, distorções morfológicas), de corrosão (shagreen proeminente, trígons e hexágonos) e superfícies foscas, enquanto o G4 compõe-se de cristais incolores, relativamente mais regulares e de maior granulometria, com superfícies lisas e poucas feições de corrosão proeminentes (terraços e hillocks). O grupo G3 possui feições típicas dos demais grupos, porém, apresenta exemplares menos reabsorvidos, com morfologia primária (octaédrica) relativamente preservada, indicando menor tempo de exposição aos efeitos de dissolução. As feições de catodoluminescência e resultados da espectroscopia de infravermelho (conteúdo e estado de agregação do nitrogênio) confirmam a existência de grupos geneticamente distintos e/ou que sofreram alterações (reabsorção, corrosão, abrasão etc.) em ambientes diferenciados. O grupo G2 se destaca pelas emissões de luminescência associadas às feições de deformação plástica e predominância de cristais de baixo teor de N (< 100 ppm e tipo II) e alta agregação (IaB). O G4 apresenta emissões azuis homogêneas, alto teor de N (entre 700 e 1000 ppm) e agregação intermediária (IaAB). O grupo G1 apresentou luminescência fortemente influenciada pelos efeitos da radiação superficial (intensa emissão verde amarelada) e revelou populações com conteúdo e agregação de nitrogênio nos mesmos intervalos dos grupos de origem essencialmente primária (G2 e G4). Estas características constituem um indicativo de que as fontes primárias de G2 e G4 sejam as mesmas que contribuíram para a formação do depósito secundário responsável pelo aporte dos diamantes do grupo G1 na Terra Indígena Roosevelt. O grupo G3 novamente apresentou resultados compatíveis com os demais grupos, porém são pouco representativos devido ao reduzido número de exemplares analisados por catodoluminescência e FTIR. Baseando-se na relação conteúdo de nitrogênio versus estado de agregação do elemento, as populações identificadas evidenciam a predominância de temperaturas de formação mais elevadas para o grupo G2 e menores para o grupo G4. Este fator, associado à maior freqüência de diamantes do tipo II, à presença de feições de deformação plástica e coloração marrom dos cristais, sugere que as pedras do grupo G2 sejam oriundas de porções mantélicas profundas (zona de transição e manto inferior), cuja ocorrência já foi descrita em depósitos relativamente próximos à Terra Indígena Roosevelt (Rio Machado-RO) e principalmente na Província Kimberlítica de Juína, sendo todos restritos à mesma porção do Cráton Amazônico. Além dos dados relacionados às condições de crescimento e alterações dos cristais examinados, as técnicas empregadas mostraram-se eficientes para a identificação de diferenças entre os diamantes de Rondônia e de outras regiões. Deste modo, tal metodologia, associada à análise estatística de informações armazenadas em um banco de dados pode ser utilizada para a implementação de procedimentos regulares de identificação e certificação da proveniência de lotes de diamantes de proveniência desconhecida. _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The Roosevelt and Aripuanã Park indigenous lands in southeastern Rondônia State, Brazil, host the main diamond deposit of the region (Igarapé Lajes Diggings), known for the frequent occurrence of kimberlites located mainly in the districts of Pimenta Bueno and Espigão D’Oeste. These pipes intrude the southwestern border of the Amazon Craton (Rio Negro-Juruena Province) and sediments of the Parecis Basin, however, so far economically viable primary deposits are not known. Moreover, few studies were realized about the region and its diamonds. In the present study, 660 diamond crystals were investigated according to their morphological, optical and surface characteristics using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cathodoluminescence and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results demonstrated a predominance of highly resorbed crystals, with tetrahexaedroid morphology and high frequency of surface corrosion features, being generally colorless to slightly yellow with an expressive amount of brown stones. Due to the association of genetically distinct characteristics, four different groups (G1, G2, G3 and G4) were identified, revealing a contribution of more than one source to the studied deposit. The G1 group presents typical characteristics of secondary sources, such as: percussion marks, network pattern, green and brown radiation spots and abrasion surfaces. The G2 and G4 groups present only primary characteristics, which show different formation and transport environments. The G2 group has high frequency of deformational features (lamination lines, brown coloration and morphological distortions), of corrosion (prominent shagreen, trigons and hexagons) and frosted surfaces, while the G4 is composed of colorless crystals, relatively more regular and with higher granulometry, with smooth surfaces and few prominent corrosion features (terraces and hillocks). The G3 group has typical features of the other groups, however, is composed of less reabsorbed specimens with primary morphology (octahedral) relatively preserved, indicating shorter time of exposition to the dissolution effects. The cathodoluminescence features and results of the infrared spectroscopy (nitrogen content and aggregation state) confirm the existence of genetically distinct groups and/or which suffered alterations (resorption, corrosion, abrasion, etc.) in different environments. The G2 group is highlighted by the emissions of luminescence associated to the features of plastic deformation and to the predominance of crystals with low contents of nitrogen (<100 ppm and type II) and highly aggregated (IaB). The G4 group shows homogeneous blue emissions, high contents of nitrogen (between 700 and 1000 ppm) and intermediate aggregation state (IaAB). The G1 group presented luminescence strongly influenced by the radiation effects (intense green-yellow emission) and revealed populations with contents and aggregation of nitrogen in the same intervals of the groups of essentially primary origin (G2 e G4). These characteristics are an indication that the primary sources of G2 and G4 are the same that contributed for the formation of the secondary deposit responsible for supply of diamonds of the G1 group in the Roosevelt Indigenous Land. The G3 group again showed consistent results with the other groups, although they are somewhat representative due to the low number of specimens examined by these techniques. Based primarily on the relationship of nitrogen content versus aggregation state of the element, the identified populations show the predominance of higher temperatures of formation for the G2 group and lower for the G4 group. This factor, associated to the increased frequency of type II diamonds, the presence of plastic deformational features and the brown coloration of the crystals, suggests that the stones of the G2 group are originated in the deep portions of the mantle (transition zone and lower mantle), whose occurrence was reported in relatively near deposits to the Roosevelt Indigenous Land (Machado River) and mainly in the Juína Kimberlite Province, being all restricted to the same portion of the Amazon Craton.In addition to the data related to the growth and alterations conditions of the examined crystals, the employed techniques were effective for the identification of differences between the diamonds from Rondônia and from other localities. Therefore, such methodology associated to the statistical analyses of the information stored in a data bank, can be used for the implementation of regular procedures of identification and certification of the provenance of diamond samples from unknown origin.

Buildings have identities. Like people, they have an essence that people can appreciate whether or not they can consciously evaluate that impression. Buildings can have personality and character. They can be amiable, reserved, even abrasive; we can enjoy or detest being in them. How does design imbue this character? Sometimes a building's identity is so sympathetic towards a program that the original use is apparent even after a change of use. Is this solely the result of conscious alteration, or can the original architect assist this constancy by so thoroughly infusing character into the design that, short of demolition, a semblance of identity will always be retained? Buildings have identities which can be enhanced or repressed through renovation. But can a building inform? Can a building be a devise for spreading information? What essential characteristics are necessary for identification? Would a building, possessing the characteristics of another object, be identifiable as that thing? Can a building be an insect?

Historical studies of Theodore Roosevelt's views about labor and labor unions are in conflict. This was also true of contemporary disagreements about the meaning of his labor rhetoric and actions. The uncertainties revolve around whether or not he was sincere in his support of working people and labor unions, whether his words and actions were political only or were based on a philosophical foundation, and why he did not propose comprehensive labor policies. Roosevelt historiography has addressed these questions without considering his stated admiration for Octave Thanet's writings about "labor problems." Octave Thanet was the pseudonym of Alice French, a popular fiction writer during Roosevelt's adult years. Roosevelt on several occasions praised her knowledge of factory conditions and discussions of labor problems, and he invited her to the White House. The thesis analyzes her labor stories, Roosevelt's comments about her labor writings, and their relevance to how he responded to the growth and tactics of organized labor. It also addresses the influence on Roosevelt of contemporary writing on labor unions by John Hay, Henry George, and Herbert Croly, as well as his relationship with labor leader Samuel Gompers. The thesis concludes that Roosevelt was sincere about improving the social and industrial conditions of workers, primarily through government action. It further concludes that his support of labor unions in principle was genuine, but was contingent on organized labor's repudiation of violence and attempts to justify violence; and that he opposed union boycotts and mandatory union membership as inimical to his vision of a classless society. The thesis additionally considers the extent to which Roosevelt's views were embodied in national labor legislation after his death.

Cette these part de la rencontre historique de theodore roosevelt avec son epoque et entend demontrer que le vingt-sixieme president des etats-unis fut a la fois un innovateur en politique etrangere et l'incarnation exemplaire d'une ideologie missionnaire et "exceptionaliste" aussi vieille que la nation americaine. Leader tout indique pour une republique imperialiste, parce qu'historien et theoricien de l'expansion, roosevelt, preoccupe de grandeur et de securite nationales, preconisa une politique de "preparation militaire", affirma la suprematie de washington aux ameriques et abandonna prudemment l'isolement dans le but de realiser un equilibre mondial des puissances. Le champion de "l'idealisme applique" et du "gros baton" -- dont l'heritage sera dilapide par des successeurs irrealistes -- montra cependant moins de mesure et de clair- voyance dans ses rapports avec les races ou peuples "inferieurs", en asie ou dans les caraibes, apparaissant de ce fait comme une sorte de jekyll et hyde en politique etrangere. Cette etude reexamine les episodes diplomatiques ma- jeurs de la vingt-sixieme presidence; elle jette un regard neuf sur une vieil- le enigme historique -- l'ultimatum de roosevelt au kaiser pendant la crise venezuelienne -- et precise certains aspects de l'affaire marocaine et de la conference d'algesiras.

Shipwrecks have a way of catching the imagination of both professionals and the general public. During the fall of 2004 a shipwreck was discovered in Delaware Bay near Lewes, Delaware. This vessel, believed to be British, was lost during the second half of the eighteenth century. Preliminary examination of the wreck site suggested that it was a merchant ship bound for the colonies. While wrecks dating to this period representing various countries have been found, no British merchant vessels bound for the colonies have been examined archaeologically. This project provided the opportunity to investigate a ship and its cargo in light of the historical events of the period. Analysis of artifacts recovered from the site provided important glimpses of colonial American consumer practices in the period leading up to the American Revolution. In light of the general colonial displeasure over increased Parliamentary restrictions, colonists adjusted their buying habits. Study of the artifact assemblage suggests British merchants were attempting to substitute non-British manufactured goods for some objects. This study also indicated that colonists were perhaps not idealistic in practice when it came to denying themselves consumer goods. Further excavation of this vessel, and the study of other inbound merchantmen, should help confirm the conclusions regarding British policy and its effect on pre-revolutionary consumer practices. Based upon evidence derived from a handful of artifacts, this study tentatively identified the vessel as the ship Severn, lost in 1774 off the coast of Delaware.

City patterns have taken shape as Architecture has prospered- as a search for a coherent environment between nature and human desires. This thesis is a study of urban as well as architectural impacts together, to find the meaning of life patterns in relation to the overall city structure.

Architecture is experience. Man experiences the Architecture within which he lives, works, plays and worships. As a necessity this experience must include a successful response to the needs of its inhabitants in order to fulfill its stated and intended purposes. In this sense man experiences his Architecture in the physical realm of its existence. Yet Architecture is an experience of the spirit. Architecture, through its presence, must elevate man, beyond the physical sense, and strive to glorify the inner being. In the opening section of this thesis I will briefly examine a few ancient ruins in an effort to explore the spiritual nature of Architecture. Following this exploration I will then move into the design portion of the thesis. The project is a theological library and scholar’s complex located on Roosevelt Island in the Potomac River.

Propomos um enfoque sobre a requalificação da Praça Roosevelt na perspectiva da produção do espaço relacionando os campos da dominação e o da apropriação. As transformações nos usos e funções dos lugares revelam o movimento do capital reestruturando a cidade a sua imagem. Propomos uma análise do espaço público enfocando como o mesmo é absorvido pelos diferentes ciclos do capital. Neste sentido, a Praça Roosevelt pode ser entendida como metonímia dos ciclos de modernização que configuraram a própria metrópole. Entre o campo da dominação política e da acumulação do capital temos que o espaço público caminha no sentido do controle e da privatização, perdendo seu caráter de efetividade social. No embate entre propriedade e apropriação emergem os conflitos no espaço público. Embora a tendência seja uma limitação do uso de forma cada vez mais recrudescedora, enquanto possibilidade, a vida social pode se insurgir reclamando seu lugar no espaço público.
We propose a focus upon the recovery of Roosevelt Square within the prospect of producing space within the contexts of possession and appropriation. The transformations in the uses and functions of these spaces reveal the movement of capital, restructuring the city in its fashion. We propose an analysis of public spaces focusing on how they are absorbed within different cycles of capital investment. In this sense Roosevelt Square may be understood as a synecdoche of the cycles of modernization that have shaped the metropolis. Between the fields of political power and that of accumulation of capital we would have to say that public spaces are moving in the direction of control and privatization, losing their character in terms of social importance. In the battle between property acquisition and public appropriation conflicts emerge within public spaces. Although the trend is for ever more persistent limitation of their possible uses, social activities may take place there, reclaiming their place in public spaces.

The present study aims to analyze aspects of the building, implantation, occupation, and consequent transformation of the Roosevelt Square (Praça Roosevelt, located in the central region of São Paulo) from 1967 to 2018. This analysis will firstly include a presentation of its four most relevant projects: the first and second of 1967; the third of 2008; and the fourth and last of 2010 – the last two being re-qualification projects. In the 2010 project, we will analyze morphological issues of the architecture based on authors such as Francis D.K. Ching (2013) and Geoffrey H. Baker (1998), and qualitative or humanistic issues, based on the author Jean Gehl (2015). The analysis takes into account how the population appropriated and currently makes use of this public space, which contrasts with the occupation originally designed for the area. In the current occupation of the Square, we can highlight its use as space for skateboarding and for cultural manifestations, such as theater performances. In summary, this work consists of the description of the urban insertion of Roosevelt Square from the metropolitan scale to the local scale, the presentation of the detailed history of the Square and its four major projects conceived from 1967, as well as the analysis of the 2010 project – effectively implemented and currently in use. This analysis aims to examine the morphological, qualitative and humanistic aspects of this project and seeks to emphasize the importance of taking these issues into account for the design of a public space.
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar aspectos da edificação, da implantação, da ocupação e da consequente transformação da Praça Roosevelt (localizada na região central da cidade de São Paulo) no período de 1967 a 2018. Tal análise compreenderá, primeiramente, a apresentação de seus quatro projetos mais relevantes: o primeiro e o segundo datados de 1967; o terceiro de 2008 e o quarto de 2010 – sendo esses dois últimos considerados projetos de requalificação. No projeto de 2010, serão analisadas questões morfológicas da arquitetura com base em autores como Francis D.K. Ching (2013) e Geoffrey H. Baker (1998), e questões qualitativas ou humanísticas, com base nas considerações do autor Jean Gehl (2015). A análise leva em consideração as formas pelas quais a população se apropriou e atualmente faz uso deste espaço público e que contrastam com aquelas originalmente projetadas para a área. Na ocupação atual da Praça, destaca-se seu uso enquanto espaço de prática do skate e de manifestações culturais, como das representações teatrais. Sinteticamente, este trabalho compõe-se da descrição da inserção urbanística da Praça Roosevelt desde a escala metropolitana até a escala local, da apresentação do histórico detalhado da praça e de seus quatro principais projetos idealizados a partir de 1967, bem como das análises e das proposições do projeto de 2010 – efetivamente implementado e atualmente em uso. Tal análise se propõe a examinar aspectos morfológicos, qualitativos e humanísticos deste projeto e busca ressaltar a importância de se levar em consideração tais questões para a concepção de um espaço público.

This study investigates Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic policy package, known as “Abenomics.” Abenomics is intended to end two decades of deflation in Japan, based on a Three Arrow approach (monetary policy, fiscal stimulus, and structural reform). This study examines how it is different from past policies and actions, its initial results, and the outlook concerning future results. In 1990, Japan’s asset bubble burst and the country became mired in two decades of deflation and low GDP growth. This study examines existing analysis and compare past policies to the present. It concludes that although the First Arrow (monetary policy) and Second Arrow (fiscal stimulus) have been able to achieve initial success, Abenomics may struggle to succeed without a firmly executed Third Arrow (structural reform). All three arrows are needed. However, many difficult barriers pose an obstacle for reform. American President Roosevelt also pursued aggressive measures in the 1930’s to take the United States out of the Great Depression. Roosevelt’s resolve was instrumental in his succeed. Japan will need seamless and simultaneous execution of the Three Arrows, along with aggressive Roosevelt Resolve to ensure success in its domain.

La premiere partie de la these est une analyse de la situation politique et diplomatique americaine au moment ou eclate la deuxieme guerre mondiale, apres la reorientation amorcee par le president roosevelt lors du discours de chicago du 5 octobre 1937, qui marqua le debut de l'abandon de la politique isolationniste des etats-unis. La deuxieme partie conduit a l'armistice de juin 1940, avec comme evenement majeur l'effondrement de la france que le president roosevelt considerera desormais comme une puissance de deuxieme ordre. Les rapports entre washington et, respectivement, vichy et la france libre forment la matiere de la troisieme partie qui aboutit a la rupture des relations entre les etats-unis et vichy, le 9 novembre 1942, a la suite du debarquement allie en afrique francaise du nord (afn). Apres cette date et jusqu'a sa mort, le 12 avril 1945, roosevelt se retrouvera face a de gaulle : leurs rapports difficiles font l'objet de la derniere partie. Apres avoir ecarte le mouvement gaulliste des operations d'afn, les etats-unis traiteront d'abord avec darlan, le numero deux de vichy, jusqu'a sa disparition, puis avec le general giraud contre la france libre. De gaulle s'etant tout de meme impose comme chef inconteste de la resistance et du gouvernement provisoire de la republique francaise, roosevelt s'obstinera a refuser d'admettre cette realite, considerant que le general n'etait pas elu. Il ne reconnaitra de jure le gouvernement provisoire que le 23 octobre 1944, sous la pression de ses allies et de ses conseillers. Malgre cela, le president s'opposera a la presence de de gaulle a la conference de yalta. Par son entetement a conduire une diplomatie irrealiste visant a se poser en arbitre des destinees de la france, roosevelt fit naitre dans ce pays, et c'est la son echec majeur, un sentiment de defiance envers les etats-unis, qui devait s'averer par la suite prejudiciable aux relations entre les deux nations
The first part of this dissertation is a review of the american diplomatic and political situation at the beginning of world war ii, after president roosevelt, in his chicago address of october 5th, 1937, had reoriented the policy of isolationism, hitherto pursued by the us, towards its eventual abandonment. The second part leads up to the franco-german armistice of june 1940 which caused roosevelt to regard france as a second-rate nation. Us policy towards vichy and free france respectively is the subject of the third part, which ends with the severance of diplomatic relations between the us and the vichy government on november 9th, 1942. Thereafter, roosevelt and de gaulle were left face to face ; relations between them form the theme of the last part, which ends up with the death of the president on april 12th, 1945. After keeping de gaulle uninformed of the operations in north africa, the united states made a deal with darlan, petain's former deputy at vichy ; then, after his death, the american government championed general giraud. When de gaulle proved to be the unquestioned head of the french resistance and of the provisional government of the french republic, roosevelt refused to face up to the fact, considering that de gaulle did not have a mandate from the french people. He waited until october 23rd, 1944, before recognizing de jure the provisional gouvernment of france as a result of pressure from his allies and advisors. However, he later refused to invite de gaulle to the yalta conference. By his stubbornness in pursuing an unrealistic diplomacy aimed at becoming the arbiter of france's destiny, roosevelt initiated a feeling of defiance towards the unites states in france which certainly was his major failure, as it was later to prove detrimental to relations between the two nations

Between 1939 and 1945 the Federal Bureau of Investigation, headed by J. Edgar Hoover, monitored the political activities of President Franklin Roosevelt's anti- interventionist foreign policy critics. Hoover, whose position as FBI director was tenuous within the left-of-center Roosevelt administration, catered to the president's political and policy interests to preserve his position and to expand FBI authority. In his pragmatic effort to service administration political goals, Hoover employed illegal wiretaps, informers, collected derogatory information, conducted investigations that had the potential to discredit the anti -interventionists, forwarded political intelligence to administration officials, and coordinated some activity with British intelligence. This all occurred within a crisis atmosphere created with the onset of the Second World War, and it was this political dynamic that permitted Hoover to successfully cultivate his relationship with President Roosevelt. In the process, the administration's otherwise legitimate foreign policy opposition was regarded as subversive and some anti -interventionists' civil liberties were violated through intensive FBI scrutiny of their political dissention. Moreover, the FBI's surveillance marks the origins of the FBI's role in the later national security state. Among those targets examined in this dissertation include Charles Lindbergh, the America First Committee, notable anti- interventionist senators and congressmen, the anti -interventionist press, and other prominent individuals who advocated American isolation from foreign war.

Historians of American diplomatic history during the Roosevelt administration have long debated whether President Roosevelt tricked Americans into the Second World War. Historians have looked at the personalities of Roosevelt and his key advisors to see if a hidden agenda was followed. U.S.-French relations highlight this divide. Did Roosevelt conspire in the fall of France, as the conspiratorialists claim, or did he simply react? With most historians focusing on Roosevelt himself, few have examined the systemic causes of America's failure to aid France. This study investigates how Roosevelt's style of governance and administration affected American foreign policy toward France. It concludes that the system of foreign-policy-making Roosevelt established made the outcome of American policy toward France-in particular the fall of France in 1940-nearly inevitable.

Através da experiência da Praça Roosevelt em suas dimensões urbanas e culturais sob a perspectiva das práticas e relações das intervenções urbanas por ela atravessadas, entretecidas com suas construções e reconstruções de sentidos, o trabalho investiga os processos e formas de atuação e conflitos intrínsecas à produção do espaço urbano na cidade de São Paulo e o lugar da cultura nesse processo. O trabalho, portanto, está comprometido com esse recorte na leitura que faz da Praça, não almejando compor seu retrato absoluto, mas espera-se que além de atentar para as formas com que as intervenções urbanas vêm sendo pensadas, consiga lançar perspectivas também para as formas de ocupação da Praça Roosevelt, sobretudo na última década incluindo sua reinauguração (2000-2012). Este reconhecimento da Roosevelt enquanto cena que mobiliza novas e velhas contradições permite a formação de um quadro de questões sobre os fenômenos urbanos e possíveis deslizamentos nos modos de construção e significados da cidade. Na medida em que a leitura da Praça Roosevelt se constrói, há também uma leitura correspondente, a da cidade.
Through observing the experience of Praca Roosevelt in its urban and cultural dimensions under the perspective of its practices and relations with urban interventions, this work analyzes the processes, ways of using public space, and conflicts, which are intrinsic to the production of urban space in Sao Paulo city, as well as the role of culture in this process. This work is committed to this narrow scope of Praca Roosevelt, not aiming to have a broader (or absolute) portray of it. However, I hope that this work sheds light on the ways through which urban interventions have been thought and creates new perspectives on the ways of occupying Praca Roosevelt, especially in the last decade including its reinauguration (2000-2012). The recognition of Praca Roosevelt as a scenario that mobilizes new and old contradictions provides the creation of a set of questions about urban phenomena and possible understandings of modes of construction and meanings of the city. At the same time that an analysis of Praca Roosevelt is here developed, an equivalent analysis of Sao Paulo city emerges.

Não fossem o gozo e a dor dotados de sentido, característica da involução de nossa espécie em “humana”, não haveria maiores propósitos no contínuo da vida, que não a sobrevivência de um aglomerado de células. Abdicar, ou ser desapossado dos extremos, é ter podada a potência inerente à jornada imposta pela vida culturalmente orientada. Agradecerei, sempre, toda a potência que me for ofertada, desde o início e até o fim da jornada. Portanto, agradeço em primeiro lugar, minha família. Vocês são minha vida e eu, a de vocês. Entendendo que a potência da vida não se manifesta apenas no seio da família, agradeço a todas as demais vidas e jornadas que se cruzaram com a minha. A todos os amigos, muito obrigado pela presença constante. Presto aqui sinceros agradecimentos ao meu orientador, Prof. Dr. Tiago Quiroga, por construir, com a precisão e delicadeza de um ourives, o trilho de ferro fundido sem o qual a ordem não imperaria sobre o caos de minhas inquietações. Meu empenho não teria forma, não fosse sua dedicação, empatia e fé. Agradeço também ao Prof. Dr. Pedro Russi, o jardineiro, pela participação no processo de plantio e cultivo, através do questionamento constante, produtor de tantas reflexões. Por fim, agradeço ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade de Brasília, pela acolhida, pela jornada e por proporcionar o encontro com dois de meus grandes mestres.

Plusieurs études de la « couverture » médiatique accordée à la vie personnelle, publique et privée, de Théodore Roosevelt montrent qu’il attira plus d’attention journalistique que nombre de ses successeurs. L’on ne saurait sous-estimer la contribution capitale des caricaturistes, même les plus sévères, à l’inaltérable popularité de Roosevelt pendant quelque trente ans. Il y a lieu de penser que nul autre président ne fut pour eux une source d’inspiration aussi constante et aussi réjouissante. Le but de la présente thèse est de replacer l’émergence de l’image caricaturée de Roosevelt dans le contexte d’une prise de conscience globale du pouvoir de la caricature sur l’opinion publique. L’humour devenant un formidable outil d’opposition ou de propagande lorsqu’il est associé à la politique, il convient d’explorer les caractéristiques de l’humour politique à l’époque de Roosevelt, et notamment en quoi il se distingue d’autres formes de critique du pouvoir en place. Est proposé dans un premier temps une rétrospective historique de la caricature politique en Europe et son émergence aux États-Unis, suivie de l’analyse en détail du « moment décisif », avec le très célèbre Thomas Nast, de l’histoire de la caricature américaine. Vient ensuite une évaluation de l’impact des caricatures sur la carrière politique de Théodore Roosevelt au moyen de plusieurs études de cas, identifiés comme les moments clés, dont la finalité est de vérifier s’il existait une véritable corrélation entre les actions du président et son image médiatique : cow-boy légendaire, homme politique au destin national, héros militaire, chef de l’exécutif controversé
Several studies of the media coverage of Theodore Roosevelt’s personal, public and private life reveal that he attracted more media attention than many of his successors. The importance of the contribution of even the most caustic cartoonists to his enduring popularity for thirty years should not be underestimated. There are reasons to believe that no other president offered a more constant and delightful source of inspiration. The objective of this dissertation is to contextualize several cartooned images of Roosevelt within the growing awareness of the power of cartoons on public opinion. When combined with politics, humor becomes a tremendous tool for the spreading of official propaganda or of the opposition’s creed. We will therefore assess the characteristics of political humor during Roosevelt’s age and how it is distinct from other types of criticism of the establishment. We will first present a brief history of political cartoons in Europe and their rise in the United States, followed by a detailed assessment of the legacy of the famous cartoonist Thomas Nast, which represents a « defining moment » in the history of American political cartoons. This will be followed by an evaluation of their impact on Theodore Roosevelt’s political career by means of several case studies of decisive moments. The objective will be to determine whether there is a correlation between Roosevelt’s actions and his media image: mythical cowboy, politician with a national destiny, war hero, controversial chief executive

Este estudo aborda a questão dos índios brasileiros, os quais desde a época da colonização até a atualidade são tratados de forma desumana, face o trabalho escravo, maus tratos e discriminação generalizada a eles infligida, bem como, o massacre ocorrido na Reserva Roosevelt em abril de 2004, ocasião em que foram mortas 29 pessoas, garimpeiros de profissão. Aborda a aplicação da legislação penal ao índio que pratica uma conduta criminosa, e mais especificamente como é – ou não - responsabilizado penalmente. O trabalho visa avaliar o nível de integração do índio com a comunidade social e jurídica brasileira e a sua imputabilidade, e discute a aplicação da pena ou medida de segurança como resposta penal. Dentre das soluções possíveis para a questão penal dos índios envolvidos no massacre, podem ser considerados, basicamente três critérios diferentes: o reconhecimento da inimputabilidade; o de que as particularidades do índio devem ser levadas em conta somente como um dado para a individualização da pena; e, por fim, o de que o problema deve ser analisado dentro do campo de outros aspectos da culpabilidade. O meio de pesquisa empregado neste trabalho foi o bibliográfico e o jurisprudencial, e o acesso a sites jurídicos disponíveis na Internet. This study addresses the issue of the Brazilian Indians, which since the days of colonization to the present are treated inhumanly, face slave labor, child abuse and widespread discrimination on them inflicted, as well as the massacre occurred in the Roosevelt Reserve in April 2004, when 29 people were killed, prospectors by profession. It discusses the application of criminal law to the Indian who practice a criminal conduct, and more specifically if he is – or not - liable under criminal law. The work aims to evaluate the level of integration of the Indian within the Brazilian legal and social community and its liability, and discusses the application of the sanctions and othermeasuresas a response. Among the possible solutions to the issue of the Indians involved in the criminal massacre, basically three different criteria can be considered: the recognition of theinimputability; the particularities of the Indian can be taken into account only asfor the individualization of the sanctions; and, finally, the problem can be analyzed within the field of other aspects of guilt. The methods used in this research work were use of the case-law, bibliographic review and access to legal sites available on the Internet.

The purpose of my assignment is to summarize facts, thoughts and assumptions and provide Progressive Era analyses in relation to the 1912 presidential elections. The respective campaigns of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson can -- in general terms - be considered as a contest between the theoretical and the practical. This was evident in their varying approaches to both economic and social issues. Even within the Progressivism there were different points of view on the liberalism in the American democracy and strategic issues such as tax, customs duties and anti-monopoly policies. I will specifically examine this disparity in context of the social struggle between concentrated and organized capitalism and the progressive labor movement. Who were the people designing their election platforms, defining the state politics and consequently creating the rules? What was their vision? And what assumptions underlined their thinking? Have their ideas and its application in politics been successful? Finally, what was their political legacy in American society today?

This dissertation discusses diplomatic relations between the United States and Egypt from 1945 through 1960. During these years, the massive oil reserves in the Middle East became vitally important to the security of the United States. To protect the free flow of oil, American policymakers looked to Egypt to provide the progressive, pro-Western leadership that they believed would insure stability in the region. The approach to this story is unique and could he termed a post-Cold War revision. Most diplomatic histories concerning America and the Middle East have overemphasized the Cold War context. To understand America's relationship with Egypt one must set aside the Cold War albatross and view the story from a Middle Eastern perspective. As a framework for this study. the author relied on L. Carl Brown's work on Middle Eastern international relations. Brown's theory that the Eastern Question (the period that marked the slow disintegration of the Ottoman Empire) still drives relations in the region proved invaluable in understanding the diplomatic culture of the area. Using this approach, the diplomatic relations between Egypt and America take on a new perspective. Rather than seeing everything driven by the Cold War, one can identify the long-standing interests, the diplomatic styles. and the cultural differences of each country. In a classic example of realpolitik. each side sought to manipulate the other for its own gain. Thrown together amid the struggles of the Cold War, America and Egypt found themselves uneasy allies. America looked for help in their tight against the Soviet Union, and Egypt endeavored to achieve independence for itself and for the Arab Middle East. Franklin D. Roosevelt began with high hopes in grooming Egypt as a pro-American force in the region, but his death derailed the policy. With the beginning of the Cold War, America's traditional anti-imperialist policy had to be balanced with the support of Great Britain, the big power in the region. Throughout the period, Egypt sought to become the leader of the Arab world employing policies that often conflicted with American interests. Understanding that they were a small Third World nation, Egyptian leaders sought to playoff the superpowers for their own advantage. The Truman administration eventually understood some of the finer points of Middle Eastern diplomacy but failed to coordinate their policy with that knowledge. Under the flexible guidance of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Eisenhower administration proved more sophisticated than the previous one but had to deal with a mort! ambitious leader in Gamal Abdel Nasser. Although, the vital oil fields had been protected, America's attempts to enlist Egypt in the struggle against Russia, to bring peace to the region, and prevent Soviet penetration failed. By the end of the 1960s, American leaders had learned the rules of the diplomatic game and altered their policies accordingly. In between, the story reveals the complexity and regularity of the Eastern Question system and how America came to grips with it.

Along the Mogollon Rim of east-central Arizona changes in the technology of ceramic production, including the appearance of Roosevelt Red Ware, have been attributed to migrating Kayenta-Tusayan populations during the late Pueblo III period. This study compares the technology and mineralogical composition of Pinto Polychrome from the Silver Creek drainage to other wares commonly found in this area and to samples of Pinto Polychrome from sites south of the Mogollon Rim. The petrographic analysis of ceramic samples and the microscopic analysis of raw sands indicate that Pinto Polychrome was locally produced in the Silver Creek drainage, is technologically distinct yet related to Showlow Black-on-red, and is closely tied to the Kayenta-Tusayan tradition of using ceramic plates. Finally, an economic model of integration is used as a framework for assessing the impact of Kayenta-Tusayan migrants in the Silver Creek drainage and their possible connection to the production of Pinto Polychrome.

O presente estudo é uma pesquisa qualitativa com enfoque participante e fenomenológico, que tem por objetivo registrar as concepções, os valores éticos e de espiritualidade dos integrantes da Comunidade Ribeirinha do Rio Roosevelt. Para a coleta de dados, utilizamos a entrevista dirigida com questões referentes à espiritualidade na comunidade supracitada no Município de Colniza, Estado de Mato Grosso, no período de 01/06/2011 a 11/06/2011. Os sujeitos selecionados são oriundos ou descendentes de nordestinos que migraram para a região noroeste de Mato Grosso em busca de riqueza, não necessariamente econômica, mas de garantir a própria subsistência e de seus familiares. A amostra tentou capturar os dados com as pessoas mais idosas da comunidade. O tema da investigação foi a espiritualidade manifestada pelos sujeitos, perpassando pelos acontecimentos diários de suas vidas até a preocupação com a finitude. As respostas demonstram que os Ribeirinhos possuem concepções vivenciais de espiritualidade e finitude (morte), embasadas na Ética do Cuidado. Os sujeitos externam profundo respeito pelo meio ambiente em que vivem e extremo cuidado para com seus semelhantes.
This research is a qualitative study with a participant and phenomenological approach, which aims to record the views, values, ethics and spirituality of the members of the Roosevelt riverfront Community. In order to collect data, we use the directed interview with questions related to spirituality in the referred community of the County of Colniza, State of Mato Grosso, in the period from June 1st 2011 to June 11th 2011. The selected participants are from the Northeast or descendants of migrants who went to the northwest of Mato Grosso in seek of wealth, not necessarily economic, but in order to ensure their own subsistence and for their families as well. The sample tried to capture the data with older people in the community. The theme of spirituality investigation was manifested by the subjects, spanning the events of their daily lives to their concern with finiteness. The answers show that riverside have conceptions of experiential spirituality and finitude (death), based in the Ethics of Care. The subjects show deep respect for the environment in which they live and an extreme care to their equals.

Among American First Ladies, one presidential wife in particular consistently ranks among one of the most influential women to hold the office. Eleanor Roosevelt’s precedent-setting tenure in the White House established a lasting legacy that influenced many of the women who followed her. Two of these First Ladies, Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter, are often overlooked in comparative studies of Eleanor Roosevelt with other presidential wives. Scholars typically highlight Hillary Rodham Clinton or Lady Bird Johnson, neglecting the First Ladyships of Ford and Carter. These two women, however, both pointed to Eleanor Roosevelt as an inspiration for their approach to the office. Both Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter incorporated three main components of Eleanor Roosevelt’s impressive legacy into their tenures as First Lady of the United States: an ever-expanding public role, increased independence, and launching initiatives concerned with social welfare to improve the lives of their fellow Americans. All of these actions can be traced back to Roosevelt’s innovative First Ladyship and their appearance in the successive Ford and Carter administrations highlight the interconnectedness of all three First Ladies and their considerable impact on their country both during and after their time in the White House

Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt inspired the Allies with memorable speeches in their fight against the Axis Powers during World War II. These speeches resulted from their personalities, preparation, and correspondence; and the speeches directed Allied conduct and challenged Axis aggression. The speeches examined here pertain to Lend-Lease in November, 1940-March, 1941. The author consulted the collections of Churchill's and Roosevelt's speeches and correspondence and drew from memoirs and newspapers. The first two chapters examine Churchill and Roosevelt's rhetorical abilities; the third chapter looks at how their correspondence shaped their speeches; and the fourth chapter looks at the Lend-Lease rhetoric. Roosevelt and Churchill's speeches contributed to the success of the Lend-Lease bill and strengthened the Anglo-American alliance. Their words and actions led to the emergence of America as the leader in the alliance and affected Hitler's perception of the Anglo-American relationship and policy.

Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) monitored in Roosevelt Utah including Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene (collectively known as BTEX) are associated with deleterious effects including cancer. This study was designed to assess the origin and effect of the toxicants and addressed two points: 1) Source identification using the USEPA’s Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) and NOAA’s Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model and 2) A human health risk assessment based on ambient concentrations of BTEX collected at the Roosevelt site. Model fit indicated that the primary contributor to total NMHCs was local oil and gas operations and was supported by previous assessments. Assessment of ambient BTEX concentrations was associated with slightly elevated carcinogenic risk.

What keeps places unique in times of globalization? If information, goods, food, architecture are the same everywhere, what`s the difference between places? What are people identifying with? Eating habits are a main factor of cultural identification. How can architecture contribute to these feelings of belonging, self awareness and joy? How can it teach something about the place and the people living there? What if a new kind of culinary architecture can help opening people`s eyes towards their own eating culture? What if they would learn rediscovering and appreciating its richness there? The American mixture can be seen as a micro cosmos of the whole world under ongoing globalization. Since the U.S. is a very progressive country, I claim that studying their experiences can help us understand future trends of our global culture. Learning from their problems will help understand or even avoid the same problems elsewhere. One of the American challenges is obesity. Researchers expect U.S. life expectancy to fall dramatically in coming years because of obesity. This would be a startling shift in a long-running trend toward longer lives. What is American? How can the American culture be captured? How do Americans identify themselves? They are part of a blend of virtually every culture on this earth. Idealistically, nobody can be a stranger because everybody is. They have one thing in common: their ancestor`s or even their own history of dissatisfaction, hope, journey, arrival and good or bad luck in the new homeland.

The Basin Acoustic Seamount Scattering Experiment (BASSEX) of 2004 was conducted to measure forward-scattering around the Kermit-Roosevelt Seamount Complex in the Northeast Pacific. The BASSEX experiment was focused on the bathymetric effects on acoustic propagation, in particular, on direct blockage, horizontal refraction, diffraction, and scattering by the seamounts. A towed hydrophone array, with 64 sensors cut for 250Hz (3m spacing), was used to measure the signals transmitted from the aforementioned broadband sources at many locations around the Kermit-Roosevelt and Elvis seamounts. Utilizing the measured broadband signals from the towed array, the size of the shadow zone was obtained. The measured data in the BASSEX experiment strongly support the understanding of the complicated phenomena of sound propagation around the seamounts. In addition, the experimental data could be used to validate current 2D and 3D theoretical models and develop new models to properly realize the sound propagation with such complicated phenomena. In this thesis, the reconciliation between the measured pulse arrivals from the BASSEX experiment and various two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) theoretical models is carried out to investigate the physical characteristics of the sound propagation around seamounts: First, the 2D Parabolic Equation (PE) model and the 2D ray tracing model are used to reconcile each ray arrival with the BASSEX experiment in terms of arrival time and grazing angle.
(cont.) We construct a sound speed field database based on the sound speed profiles from the BASSEX experiment, World Ocean Atlas (WOA) 2005, and CTD casts using the objective analysis. Second, 3D broadband sound propagation around a conical seamount is investigated numerically using the 3D spectral coupled-mode model (W. Luo, PhD Thesis, MIT, 2007). Since the calculation of 3D broadband pulses with the spectral coupled-mode model requires extensive computation time, a parallel program is developed with a clustered computing system to obtain results in reasonable time. The validation of the 3D spectral coupled-mode model is performed by a series of comparisons between the various 2D and 3D models for a shallow-water waveguide. The Kermit-Roosevelt seamount is modeled by a simple conical seamount for the 3D model. The computed 3D broadband pulses for the modeled conical seamount are compared with those from the BASSEX experiment and the 2D PE simulation. Through this analysis, we examine the limit of the application of the sound propagation models and improve the efficiency of the 3D sound propagation model using parallel computing to obtain a broadband pulse in a reasonable amount of time.

The representation of history in documentary film is problematic. Documentary's creative treatment of actuality and assumed fidelity to perceived truth is at conflict with the historian's pursuit of veracity. Ever since the dawn of photography, artists have manipulated images and compromised facticity in service to aesthetics and drama. This trend continued into the early days of cinema, as newsreel producers adopted a more liberal than literal ethos that persists in documentary to this day. Reality can never be shown just as it is even in the most simplistic treatments of the most banal subjects. The representation of history is not always as absolute as it may seem. Instead of ignoring or denying the authorship inherent in the representation of history in documentary film, filmmakers should embrace it and reflexively provide glimpses of the cinematic process that forms their particular construction of reality. I will argue that the best way to accomplish this goal is to employ the performative mode of documentary representation, which gives the viewer a context to think about the film as a version of history, not necessarily the version of it.

The study proceeds as follows: section 2 provides an overview of the historical context surrounding the political environment in 1901; section 3 summarizes existing work addressing the relationship between wealth and political influence; section 4 discusses the data used in the study; section 5 presents an empirical analysis; section 6summarizes and discusses the results of the analysis; and section 7 provides concluding remarks.
