Tosikommunismi ja kaaderien muistot Nestori ja Elli Parkkarin sotien jälkeisissä omaelämäkerrallisissa kirjoituksissa

Tutkielmassani tarkastelen SKP:n kaaderien Nestori ja Elli Parkkarin toisen maailmansodan jälkeen kirjoittamia omaelämäkertoja ja analysoin sitä, miten he omaelämäkerroissaan välittävät kommunistiyhteisön muistia. Tutkimuksessani etsin vastauksia seuraaviin kysymyksiin: Mitä muistoja Parkkarien omaelämäkerrat säilyttävät ja välittävät? Miksi Parkkarit kirjoittivat omaelämäkertoja toisen maailmansodan jälkeen ja mikä oli niiden merkitys kommunistiyhteisölle? Tutkielman alkuperäislähteinä käytän Parkkarien omaelämäkertoja, heidän vuonna 1947 kirjoittamia lyhyitä pienoiselämäkertoja sekä Kansan Arkiston Parkkareita koskevaa arkisto-aineistoa. Lähteiden analysoinnissa sovellan Jan Assmannin kulttuurisen muistin teoriaa, jota hän esittelee kirjassaan Cultural Memory and Early Civilization: Writing, Remembrance, and Political Imagination (2011). Assmann luo kulttuurisen muistin teoriansa ranskalaisen sosiologin Maurice Halbwachsin kollektiivisen muistin teorian pohjalta, jossa korostetaan muistin sosiaalista luonnetta. Assmann jatkaa Halbwachsin kollektiivisen muistin teoriaa jakamalla kollektiivisen muistamisen kolmeen muotoon: kommunikatiivisen ja kulttuurisen muistin käsitteisiin, joiden välissä on biografisen muistamisen muoto. Näiden käsitteiden avulla Assmann osoittaa, kuinka kollektiivista muistia rakennetaan yhteisöissä. Analysoin aluksi Parkkarien puolueelle vuonna 1947 kirjoittamia pienoiselämäkertoja ja käyn läpi sitä, millä tavalla ne olivat tärkeitä sekä Parkkareille itselleen että puolueelle. Tämän jälkeen siirryn Parkkarien omaelämäkertoihin. Tarkastelen omaelämäkertoja erittelemällä kolme eri teemaa, jotka ovat kommunistien maanalainen puoluetyö, ruumiilliset kokemukset vankilassa ja keskitysleirillä sekä opiskelu ja aate. Viimeisessä luvussa käsittelen Parkkarien asemaa puolueessa toisen maailmansodan jälkeen. Samalla pohdin uskollisuuden merkitystä, sukupuolen roolia ja pohdin vallan ja pienois- sekä omaelämäkertojen suhdetta. Assmannin teoriaa soveltaen luen Parkkarien omaelämäkerrat osaksi kommunikatiivista muistia, eli osana kommunistiyhteisön suullista ja elämäkerrallista muistamista. Näiden omaelämäkertojen avulla kommunistiyhteisö pyrki siirtymään sodan jälkeen kommunikatiivisesta muistamisesta institutionaaliseen kulttuuriseen muistamiseen. Parkkarit toimivat siten SKP:n kollektiivisen muistin välittäjinä ja Parkkarien omaelämäkerrat olivat näin osa kommunistiyhteisön historiankirjoitusta. Omaelämäkerroissa kuvataan sitä, miten esimerkillinen tosikommunisti toimii. Samalla niissä puetaan sanoiksi kommunistista aatetta.

Teatro meridional: Outra prosa

Talvez, um teatro sensível elaborado com prosa humana mais que mestria técnica seja, sim, um teatro para o futuro. Talvez, no futuro, seja mais estimulante participar num teatro que, com poucos meios técnicos, elabore poeticamente o ser humano, e artisticamente dê protagonismo à imaginação do público. Um teatro poético que emerge de uma prosa sensível ao modo do homem lidar com os outros, que busca e revela o que está entre os seres humanos e pouco se mostra ou diariamente não se vê, é um interteatro: um teatro movido por uma dramaturgia de indivíduos singulares a agitar sociedades com o seu real quotidiano a ser mordido pela fantasia deles próprios. Este teatro sem fim mimético e humanamente poético, teatro humorado irónico e “esburacado", propondo ao público imaginar-se com o outro homem, parece ser interminável. ABSTRACT: The Teatro Meridional promotes the interest in a theatre that has the intent to excite the public's imagination. It doesn’t claim to imitate or bring about reality, or even to Iive it, it critiques itself poetically. It is a poetical theatre. That's one future for the theatre and so it is further theatre.

Traditional games are recovered from generation to generation

Communities, neighborhoods, and other environments are currently immersed in a series of situations and problems that have favored the deterioration of social, cultural and spiritual values, which are essential for harmony with oneself, others, and the environment. Stereotypes have captured minds and settings have been reduced to indoor spaces, hemmed in by security bars and protective devices.  Peace, fraternity and happiness are diminishing.  It is at this point that the social, spiritual and professional work of specialists in the recreational field contributes to rescue and restructure society. Traditional games and singing games are then the tools used to facilitate relationships, contribute to the learning process, and exhibit skills.  They are fundamental in a person’s life since they are a social and cultural expression of how humans have adapted to their environment (Maestro, 2005).  They do not take ethnicity, age, sex or social conditions into consideration.  Traditional games are also a way of promoting health, improving motor, cognitive and emotional skills and a means of encouraging creativity and imagination and developing a sense of rhythm.  Their goal is to attain a state of personal well-being.  They are a way to release tension and accumulated energy and to get away from the daily routine.  They represent a bridge to learn about oneself, the environment, values, habits, and traditions. In this document, readers will learn how traditional games are transmitted, what their characteristics are, why they are an important tool in today’s society, how they are prepared, and how they can be revived and preserved.

Adapting Victorian Gypsies for the Screen: Ethnicity, Otherness and (In)visibility in Neo-Victorian Popular Film

This paper aims at analysing the presence of gypsy characters in two neo-Victorian popular films, namely Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman (2010) and Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (2011). The cultural construction of nineteenth-century gypsies, those “Others within Europe” (Boyarin 433) whose presence in Victorian fiction was peripheral, spectral and at times invisible (Nord 3-4), is simultaneously exploited and contested by these two neo-Victorian screen narratives to raise issues of otherness and invisibility on the screen. Setting off from the premise that screen texts, just like print texts, can also be participant in the neo-Victorian project of reimagining the underside of Victorian culture for contemporary audiences (Whelehan 273), this paper traces how the adaptation of Victorian gypsies for the screen, true to the palimpsestuous potential inherent to the process of adaptation (Hutcheon 6) and sharing the double drive between past and present which characterises the neo-Victorian genre (Arias and Pulham xiii; Shiller 539), hybridises our cultural memory of the Victorian Age on the screen while concurrently raises concerns over the persistent liminal status of gypsies in contemporary European culture. In particular, this paper illustrates how the tropes prototypically associated to gypsies (namely their nomadic lifestyle, mysticism, alienated existence or their perceived association to criminality) which can be traced back to Victorian culture are deployed on the neo-Victorian popular screen (with varyingly succesful outcomes) to comment on their (in)visibility in the European popular imagination.

Leitora-criadora: a experiência situada na construção dramatúrgica

This study has the purpose of investigating the term reader-creator , on the textual aspects of the dramatical works A Morte nos Olhos , A Memória Ferida and Na Outra Margem (2010) by Antonia Pereira Bezerra. In this sense, we propose an analysis of these works based on author‟s life experience as creative matter for a autofictional narrative, highlighting the relations between the autobiographical elements (LEJEUNE, 2008; DOSSE, 2009) and fictional elements in the construction of dramatic narratives. The theoretical analysis pervades the studies fields of Reception Aesthetics (ISER, 1996), memory (RICOUER, 2007) and narrative (RICOEUR, 2010), evidencing the relation between the author and the pursuit of her memories and life experiences, the matter to elaboration of writing. Then we intend thinking a reader-creator of herself, that at the same time she seeks in her memories the biographic aspects to her narrative, she converts this reality with the insertion of fictional elements from the imagination (SARTRE, 2008)

HOG CHAINS AND MARK TWAINS: A STUDY OF LABOR HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY, AND INDUSTRIAL ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE STEAMBOAT ERA OF THE MONONGAHELA VALLEY 1811-1950

This dissertation examines a unique working class in the United States, the men and women who worked on the steamboats from the Industrial Revolution until the demise of steam-powered boats in the mid-20th century. The steamboat was the beginning of a technological system that was developed in America and used in such great numbers that it made the rapid population of the Trans-Appalachian West possible. The steamboat was forever romanticized by images of the antebellum South or the quick wit of Samuel Clemens and his sentimental book, Life on the Mississippi. The imagination swirls with thoughts of boats, bleach white, slowly churning the calm waters of some Spanish moss covered river. The reality of the boats and the experience of those who worked on them has been lost in this nostalgic vision. This research details the history of the western steamboat in the Monongahela Valley, the birthplace of the commercial steamboat industry. The first part of this dissertation examines the literature of authors in the field of labor history and Industrial Archaeology to place this work into the larger context of published literature. The second builds a framework for understanding the various eras that the steamboat went through both in terms of technological change, but also the change the workers experienced as their identity as a working class was being shaped. The third part details the excavations of two steamboat captains houses, those of Captain James Gormley and Captain Michael A. Cox. Both men represented a time in which the steamboat was in an era of transition. Excavations at their homes yield clues to their class status and how integrated they were in the local community. The fourth part of this study documents the oral histories of steamboat workers, both men and women, and their experience on the boats and on the river. Their rapidly declining population of those who lived and worked on the boats gives urgency for their lives to be documented. Finally, this study concludes with a synthesis of how worker identity solidified in the face of technological, socio-economic, and ideological change especially during their push for unionization and the introduction of the diesel towboat.

Alchemy and Symbolism in the Work of Carlos Estevez

The purpose of this thesis was to explore how alchemy has influenced Carlos Estevez’s work through a study of the symbolic repertoire and the philosophical concepts associated with it in his art, particularly how these are expressed in his artworks and how alchemy has evolved thematically in his oeuvre. The study of alchemy influenced this artist so deeply that even pieces that were not primarily inspired by this philosophical system show traces of it, essentially by representing the concept of transformation, crucial to understanding the alchemical process. This thesis is based on Carl Gustav Jung’s idea of metaphysical transformation as one of the main aspects of alchemy, and on his theory of active imagination as a tool to represent thoughts through artworks. Alchemy transformed Estevez’s art, and by extension the way he approaches life, making him conscious of the importance of transmutation and alchemical concepts.
