All women find themselves under attack, especially in the conflict-ridden east.

6	[pt] A MULHER COMO CAMPO DE BATALHA: UM ESTUDO PSICANALÍTICO DO ESTUPRO COMO ARMA DE GUERRA / [en] A WOMAN AS BATTLEGROUNG: A PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY OF RAPE AS A WEAPON OF WAR 18 November 2021 (has links) [pt] O estupro foi visto durante muito tempo como uma consequência do conflito armado. Contudo, esse cenário mudou na guerra da Bósnia, pois o estupro deixou de ser meramente um efeito colateral da guerra para ser percebido como estratégia/arma de guerra com o principal objetivo de realizar a limpeza étnica. A violência, o estupro e o trauma são os protagonistas da nossa investigação. Nossa pesquisa é de cunho estritamente teórico e, para isso, utilizamos a referência psicanalítica nos baseando principalmente na obra freudiana para pensar a ideia de pulsão de morte, violência, guerra e trauma. Além disso, utilizamos também as considerações de André Green para analisar os conceitos de objetalização e desobjetalização do corpo da mulher nesse processo. Pois percebemos o quanto a mulher é investida como objeto/instrumento de guerra com o fim de um propósito maior – como no caso da guerra da Bósnia, a limpeza étnica – também é totalmente desinvestida e anulada como sujeito, sem poder consentir ao que acontece com seu corpo tornado objeto. Além disso, analisamos o quanto o trauma possui efeitos dessubjetivantes na mulher que passa por essa cena de horror. / [en] Rape has long been seen as a consequence of armed conflicts. However, in the Bosnian war this setting changed, for rape was no longer merely a side effect of the war, to be seen as a strategy/weapon of war with the main objective of carrying out ethnic cleansing. Violence, rape and trauma are the leading figures of our investigation. Our research is strictly theoretical and for this we use the psychoanalytical reference based on Freud s work to think about the idea of death drive, violence, war and trauma. In addition we also use André Green s considerations to analyze the concepts of objectalization and deobjectalization of the woman s body in such process. As we realize how much women are invested as an object/ instrument of the war with the aim of a greater purpose – as the ethnical cleansing in the Bosnian war – the woman is also totally disinvested and annulled as a subject, without being able to consent to what happens to her body made an object, In addition, we analyze how much trauma has desubjective effects on the woman who goes through such horror scene.

7	Diplomatic peacemaking according to the Abigail approach (1 Samuel 25:14-35) and its relevance to the North Kivu context in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Kahindo, Véronique Kavuo 11 1900 (has links) This dissertation is a contextual reading of 1 Samuel 25:14-35 that highlights the Abigail approach to peacemaking. The synchronic analysis of this text done in the light of the context of North Kivu conflict resolution focuses on the literary analysis of the text. The interaction between the two contexts of peacemaking, in the Abigail narrative and the North Kivu context, allows me to recommend "participative negotiations" as a suitable diplomatic means to solve North Kivu conflicts for a lasting peace. In fact, participative negotiations inspired by the Abigail strategy contrast with the diplomacy of avoidance and competitive negotiations, by which North Kivu cannot reach lasting peace. However, the strategists of peacemaking, involving North Kivu rank-and-file in the peacemaking process, must first build mutual confidence between the parties in conflict during discussions, then analyse their respective interests, and bring them to suggest suitable strategies using objective criteria which can lead the parties to true consensus. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.

9	La représentation de la violence faite aux femmes dans 'Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali' de Gil Courtemanche et 'Je m’appelle Bosnia' de Madeleine Gagnon Thach, Thida January 2014 (has links) La violence faite aux femmes est une réalité encore très présente, surtout dans les sociétés patriarcales, même après des décennies de lutte féministe. C’est aussi un thème privilégié en littérature. La présente thèse propose justement une analyse de ce thème à travers deux romans assez récents qui mettent tous deux de l’avant des aspects particuliers de la question : Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali de Gil Courtemanche et Je m’appelle Bosnia de Madeleine Gagnon. Nous tenterons de cerner les différentes formes de violences à l’œuvre dans les deux narrations : la violence faite aux filles, celle faite aux femmes, et enfin la violence spécifique qu’engendrent les conflits armés avec le viol comme arme de guerre. Nous proposerons une analyse intersectionnelle de ces formes de violences afin de mesurer les représentations et les répercussions des notions de classe et de race eu égard aux toiles de fond différentes des deux romans : le génocide chez Courtemanche, le nettoyage ethnique chez Gagnon. Nous aborderons aussi les narrations sous l’angle de l’agentivité. Dans des sociétés fondamentalement patriarcales, quel pouvoir peuvent espérer avoir les personnages féminins sur leur destin personnel et collectif? Y a-t-il pour ces femmes fictives des stratégies possibles pour atteindre une liberté d’action, si mince soit-elle?
