Esta tesis relaciona la conducta antagónica que el presidente Alberto Fujimori mantuvo con el MRTA durante la crisis de los rehenes, ocurrida entre el 17 de diciembre de 1996 y el 22 de abril de 1997, con algunos conceptos conservadores del jurista y filósofo alemán Carl Schmitt, particularmente el de la distinción amigo-enemigo. Si bien Fujimori no fue precisamente cultor de las ideas schmittianas, sí lo fueron muchos de sus colaboradores en el poder, entre políticos, militares y miembros de los servicios de inteligencia. El desconocimiento de Fujimori no sería una desventaja: según Julien Freund, la decisión del gobernante y la distinción amigo-enemigo de Schmitt se miden por sus resultados. Fujimori entorpeció la labor de los garantes y de los organismos nacionales e internacionales que apostaban por una solución pacífica. Además, ideó operativos armados que no se ejecutaron, construyó los túneles que después posibilitaron el rescate y hostigó militarmente al MRTA, antes de formalizar el diálogo con los emerretistas. El MRTA era un enemigo al que había que derrotar y eliminar, y no un equivalente con el que se podía dialogar o negociar. Las acciones de Fujimori tejieron un tropismo hacia la solución violenta, y eso quedó evidenciado públicamente. Este trabajo se justifica en la trascendencia histórica y política del suceso, y porque en el Perú, las acciones militares siempre son debatidas bajo perspectivas liberales y no conservadoras. Metodológicamente se recurrió a la revisión histórica de prensa y literatura referidas al secuestro, y también a entrevistas a politólogos y juristas, con el fin de identificar rasgos schmittianos en las acciones que Fujimori desarrolló contra el MRTA. Basado en la distinción amigo-enemigo de Schmitt, podría decirse que la enemistad entre el Estado y el MRTA se fue agravando con el tiempo, y que el punto más alto de esa conflictividad fue la operación militar Chavín de Huántar, diseñada desde Palacio de Gobierno con la orden de no dejar sobrevivientes. Esta tesis sostiene que el gobierno (o Fujimori) jamás deseó una salida pacífica, sino la eliminación total del enemigo. Dentro de esa lógica, la ejecución extrajudicial de emerretistas rendidos es perfectamente posible, tal como determinaron investigaciones del Ministerio Público y de la policía. Ciertamente, el pensamiento schmittiano podría justificar una decisión tan radical como esa, siempre y cuando el soldado que tomó la decisión de jalar el gatillo haya afrontado un contexto excepcional de apremio y de peligro que pusiera en riesgo su vida, la de sus compañeros o la de los objetivos del rescate. / Tesis

Through a study of his biography, gathered from documents of his family’s personal collection and his works – specially Coivara (1920), A Amazonia Mysteriosa (1925), Elsa e Helena (1927), Vertigem (1934) e De Pai a Filho (1954) – we aim to reveal polyphonic dimensions of discourse between his historical subject, his fictional work and his own historical period. Our approach is essentially Bakhtinian which allows Gastão Cruls to be a great historiographic object of study considering that he composes a historical personality as the member of an extensive spectrum of social relationships and practices. Metaphorically, we could draw a comparison between him and an intersection point: intertwined with a remarkable visibility in Brazilian intellectual elite, also intersected by plethora of multiple interests and interdisciplinary actor in publishing segments. We observed that the overlapping of his personal, historical and fictitious spheres revealed historical features of the medical training during Rio de Janeiro’s Belle Époque: doctors and patient’s daily routines, human suffering in clinical conditions according to Medicine of his time, the national discussions concerning the future of Brazil and even the inception of psychoanalysis into Brazilian Medicine. Those are the kind of historical issues discussed in his fictitious works / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar Gastão Cruls (1888-1959), autor de contos e romances de teor médico na primeira metade do século XX. Através de sua vida, por nós rastreada por documentos de seu acervo familiar pessoal, e suas obras - especialmente Coivara (1920), A Amazonia Mysteriosa (1925), Elsa e Helena (1927), Vertigem (1934) e De Pai a Filho (1954) - procurarmos revelar dimensões discursivas polifônicas entre sujeito histórico, sua obra fictícia e seu próprio tempo. Nossa abordagem é essencialmente bakhtiniana, tornando Gastão Cruls uma ótima possibilidade de objeto historiográfico, pois compõe uma personalidade histórica que era membro de um largo espectro de convívio e de atuação. Metaforicamente, podemos adotar sua comparação a um ponto de intersecção: perpassado por correntes de destaque notável na elite intelectual brasileira, também cruzado por uma gama de interesses múltiplos e atuante interdisciplinar em segmentos de publicação. Pudemos observar que a sobreposição de tais âmbitos pessoais, históricos e fictícios, nos relevaram questões históricas referentes à formação médica na Belle Époque carioca, o quotidiano de doutores e pacientes, o sofrimento humano nas condições clínicas segundo a medicina da época, as discussões nacionais concernentes ao futuro do país e a até mesmo a entrada da psicanálise na medicina brasileira. São tais as questões históricas discutidas em suas obras fictícias

Drawing upon the methodological discussion on the history of ideas, we question the typical bifurcation between textualism and contextualism as univocal principles of interpretation of the meaning of texts. Relevant to our analysis is not only to identify what the controversial German jurist really meant to say in his texts, but that its meaning is also conditioned by the use that is made out of it, of what one can make Schmitt “say” concerning the reception of his thought. What have been the uses of Carl Schmitt in Critical Security Studies and what structure of presuppositions and interests condition the social reading of the thinker in the area? To answer such questions, the first chapter offers a brief introduction to Schmitt’s thought, with a special attention to his “international” thinking. The second chapter analyses the first reception venue of Schmitt in Critical Security Studies, where it developed a negative hermeneutics in the debates about securitization theory and the normative need to depart from the ‘Schmittean logic’ of security; the second chapter analyses the second reception venue, which involves the critique to a universal and intrinsic concept of security. To the authors of this line of interpretation, the critique of Schmitt’s theoretical framework on sovereign decisionism and the concept of the political would allow to shift the fixed grammar of security towards a more progressive and emancipative terms; the last chapter analyses the individual appropriation of Schmitt by Andreas Behnke, who developed the last reception venue until the present moment. Escaping the negative hermeneutics, Behnke builds a new Schmittean analytical framework for security, which expands on Schmitt’s bibliographical horizon and criticizes the predominantly liberal premises of Critical Security Studies / A dissertação analisa o processo de recepção de Carl Schmitt nos Estudos Críticos de Segurança. Com base na discussão metodológica da história das ideias, problematizamos a bifurcação típica entre textualismo e contextualismo como princípiosunívocosde interpretação do significado dos textos. Relevante para nossa análise não é identificar apenas o que o controverso jurista alemão realmente quis dizer em seus textos, mas ofato de que o significado de suaobra está também condicionado ao uso que se faz dela, e do que se pode fazê-la“falar” com base na recepção do pensamentode Schmitt. Quais os usos de Carl Schmitt nos Estudos Críticos de Segurança e que estruturas de pressuposições e interesses condicionam a leitura do pensador na área? Para responder tal pergunta, o primeiro capítulo oferece uma breve introdução ao pensamento de Schmitt, com especial atenção ao seu ‘pensamento internacional’. O segundo capítulo analisa a primeira via de recepção de Schmitt nos Estudos Críticos de Segurança, onde se construiu uma hermenêutica negativa no âmbito dos debates sobre a teoria da securitização e a necessidade normativa de se afastar da “lógica schmitteana” da segurança; o terceiro capítulo analisa a segunda via de recepção de Schmitt, que envolve críticas a uma concepção universal e intrínseca da segurança. Para os autores desta linha interpretativa, a crítica ao arcabouço teórico de Schmitt sobre o decisionismo soberano e o conceito do político permitiria deslocar a gramática fixa da segurança em termos mais progressistas e emancipadores; o último capítulo analisa a apropriação individual de Andreas Behnke da obra de Schmitt, que constitui a última via derecepção (até o presente momento) do autor nos ECS. Fugindo da hermenêutica negativa, Behnke critica o que considera a leitura reducionistade Schmitt nos ECS e constrói um novo marco analítico schmitteano da segurança, que expande o lequebibliográfico de Schmitt e critica as premissas liberais da maior parte dos ECS

"Grace Wick: Portrait of a Right-Wing Extremist" is a biography of an American woman who lived between 1888 and 1958. Wick grew up in a small midwestern town, but as a young woman broke away from small town tradition by moving to the city to pursue a career as an actress in the theater and in silent movies. In the course of her acting career she traveled across North America and had the opportunity to associate with people from all walks of life. As an actress, she was able to achieve an autonomy enjoyed by few women during the 1910s and early 1920s. She also developed into a political activist, organizing campaign rallies for candidates, crusading to extend women's freedom, and was an active participant in mainline politics. However, as a middle-aged woman during the late 1930s, Wick developed a narrow focus on life, becoming involved with right-wing, pro-America organizations. By the 1940s she had become outspoken against immigrants and Jews and was actively distributing nativist, anti-Semitic propaganda. The thesis poses and suggests answers to the question of why a woman who had spent a number of years in the city, and in a career which afforded her the opportunity to gain a cosmopolitan view of the world, followed a course toward nativism and right-wing extremism in her later years.

This dissertation explores the concept of revelation in the writings of Ahmad Khan, Azad, and Mawdudi Using as its framework the development of modern Western thought on revelation, it raises questions related to religious epistemology and finds that the Muslims studied offer three interpretations of revelation: (1) part mystico-subjective and part natural intuitive, (2) part traditional and part mystico-subjective, and (3) traditional. The thesis concludes that out of a preoccupation with apologetics, all three authors failed to develop a coherent theory of revelation: Mawdudi did not understand modern problems surrounding revelation and hence did not feel the need for a solution to them; Azad, because of an ambivalent position regarding modernity, contradicted his own views; only Ahmad Khan was able to appreciate the modern threat to revelation and attempted a new interpretation. However, his interpretation was expressed in medieval philosophic molds and found little acceptance among Muslims at large.

This thesis addresses the impact of religious conversion on the later works of Eliot and Auden, and the manner in which they responded to each other as they developed a Christian poetics. Following an introduction which discusses the nature of their relationship as well as their basic theological positions, Chapter One examines their postconversion criticism, and particularly their stance on what is typically formulated as "the problem of belief in poetry," which focuses on how ideology influences a work's creation and reception. Chapter Two considers their transitional poetry, wherein their new religious beliefs figure prominently and their anxiety over the potential conflict between artistic and spiritual values is most acute. Chapter Three looks at their major postconversion poems and specifically at how Eliot's and Auden's understanding of the Incarnation informs their views on time, history, language, and literature, as embodied by these works. Chapter Four centers on their drama, initially comparing their early plays---written when Eliot was a Christian but Auden was not---to show how they employed similar techniques to further different ends, before turning to an examination of Eliot's later verse plays and Auden's libretti. I investigate the ideological motivation behind the adoption of these different dramatic forms, as well as the specific ways in which they affect how belief is conveyed. Throughout the dissertation, the effects of Eliot's and Auden's conversion upon their reputations and the difficulties facing modern Christian artists in general are given particular consideration.
