Re-Imagining Brazilian Portuguese Ipa: A Practical Guide Utilizing Paulo Maron’S New Opera Lampião, Jorge Luiz Alves Trabanco Filho
Re-Imagining Brazilian Portuguese Ipa: A Practical Guide Utilizing Paulo Maron’S New Opera Lampião, Jorge Luiz Alves Trabanco Filho
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
How often have North American singers considered singing art songs or opera arias in Brazilian Portuguese? How many Brazilian Opera composers do voice students and faculty outside of Brazil know? The lack of language familiarity of Brazilian Portuguese is a barrier to Brazilian vocal music’s accessibility and performance. And the challenging learning curve may contribute to the lack of interest non-native speakers may have toward Brazilian classical music. To help address this problem, the author decided to promote the accessibility of the Brazilian Portuguese repertoire of vocal music by re-imagining/simplifying sections of the Brazilian Portuguese IPA table. This simplified table …
Highway Tolls In Brazil And The Lawfulness Principle, Fabio C. Theophilo
Highway Tolls In Brazil And The Lawfulness Principle, Fabio C. Theophilo
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Brazil’s toll-highway system is among the most extensive tolling systems on the planet. This extensive toll-highway system affects millions of Brazilians, particularly because it is increasingly difficult for Brazilians to move between work and home without passing through a number of toll gates. Moreover, most toll roads in Brazil have been conceded from the government to private actors, and regulations governing the actions of these private actors (and the rates they charge to highway users) are sparse. This thesis will examine the nature of the highway toll industry in Brazil, the laws conceding toll roads to private actors, and the …

A Case Study Comparison Of Direct Selling Alternative Food Networks In Belo Horizonte, Brazil And Toronto, Canada, Erin M. Pratley
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis examines two local direct-selling AFNs: one in the Global North, in Toronto, Canada, and the other in the Global South, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It considers the experiences and roles of farmers within these two AFNs, using the findings to assess the potential and limitations of these two networks in what are two very different geographical locations. A comparative case study approach was taken, using a qualitative methodology. To the researcher’s knowledge, the comparison of a Northern AFN to a Southern AFN has not been documented, and thus this study provides a unique opportunity to observe how the …
Temporalidades Múltiples En La Encrucijada: Representaciones Artísticas De Lo Afro En Latinoamérica Y El Mundo Hispánico Durante La Actual Etapa De Globalización, Eduard Arriaga
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Nowadays talking about national, racial or gender identities and its representations is quite difficult due to current global-local dynamics of cultural formation. In that sense, approaching to these issues requires the use of comprehensive theories and complex tools in order to forge a better understanding. My dissertation explores the artistic representation of ‘afro’ in the Hispanic world (or the culture built upon the legacies of Africans and African-descendants in the New World and especially in the Caribbean) during the current stage of globalization. In my dissertation, I argue that afro-artistic contemporary representations are overcoming traditional ones -bound to race as …
A Question Of Remembering ‘Mother Africa’: Memory And Identity In Twentieth Century Angolan And Afro-Brazilian Poetry, Kiara M. Paylor
A Question Of Remembering ‘Mother Africa’: Memory And Identity In Twentieth Century Angolan And Afro-Brazilian Poetry, Kiara M. Paylor
Digitized Theses
The research problem in question is how African cultural memory is conveyed through Angolan and Afro-Brazilian poetry throughout the mid-to-late twentieth century. The socially constructed term ‘Mother Africa’ has been utilized as a cultural symbol of this memory. Collective memory theory, collective identity theory, cultural trauma theory, and Benedict Anderson’s theory on Imagined Communities are utilized in order to show how such symbols provide primordial-based sources for identity construction, belonging, and social cohesion. The analysis also reveals that such affiliations are consciously chosen by individuals within the African Diaspora who look to their slave history as a reference point for …
