CineScrúpulos es una revista digital que recopila los trabajos desarrollados por los alumnos en la clase de Historia del Cine de la Facultad de Comunicaciones de la UPC. El curso no pretende brindar una visión historicista del cine repleta de fechas, nombres de directores, títulos de películas y lugares exóticos, sino que intenta evidenciar la linealidad casi genética que es intrínseca al quehacer fílmico, una tradición que no solo se repite sino que se reinterpreta en distintos / John Cassavetes es uno de esos directores cuyas películas no son conocidas por millones de aficionados al cine. Inclusive, es probable que el espectador promedio se aburra sobremanera con el visionado de alguna de sus obras debido a la exasperante longitud de las secuencias, los reiterados planos fuera de foco a consecuencia del libre desplazamiento de los actores o la estructura narrativa inacabada. Pero es justamente eso lo que hace única la obra de Cassavetes: la exploración de la conducta humana más allá de las ataduras del drama convencional, la exploración de la desnudez de los sentimientos y el mecanismos de la libertad actoral para llegar a eso que el cine siempre aspira pero logra muy pocas veces: la verdad. Esta edición de CineScrúpulos explora el legado del director norteamericano, corto en cantidad pero de una calidad indiscutible. Adicionalmente a ello, esta edición explora el lado femenino del cine desde dos ópticas distintas. John Waters, el maestro indiscutible del mal gusto cinematográfico, declaró que sus películas están inspiradas en el legado de Isabel Sarli, diosa mayúscula del parnaso erótico del cine latinoamericano gracias a su participación en las obras de Armando Bo. Entonces, ¿son los personajes de Divine la encarnación directa del espíritu de la Coca o se trata de una broma del gurú indiscutible del cine trash? Desde otro ángulo, queremos provocar en el lector el visionado de algunas películas de la belga Chantal Akerman y de la francesa Agnès Varda para identificar elementos en común desde la óptica del compromiso de las directoras con los postulados del feminismo, en plena época del me too y de la reivindicación de los espacios equitativos de género. Ambas autoras son voces disidentes e importantes en la renovación del lenguaje cinematográfico.

A mobilidade, biodisponibilidade e transporte desses íons podem ser influenciados pela presença da matéria orgânica natural (MON) e as substâncias húmicas aquáticas (SHA), principais ligantes presente no ambiente aquático. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho foi desenvolver métodos eletroanalíticos utilizando a cronopotenciometria de redissolução anódica (SCP) e a técnica de redissolução nernstiana na ausência de gradientes (AGNES) capazes de determinar a concentração de cádmio total (CdT) e livre (CdL), respectivamente, diretamente em amostras de águas dos rios Itapanhaú (RI) e Sorocabinha (RS) localizados no estado de São Paulo, que possibilitem uma futura aplicação on-site. E avaliar a influência da MON e SHA extraídas desses rios nas interações com o Cd(II) e/ou Pb(II). Para investigar o efeito da sazonalidade foram coletadas amostras de água no março e novembro de 2014, as quais foram caracterizadas através de parâmetros de qualidade da água, carbono orgânico dissolvido (COD), espectroscopia UV/Vis e concentrações de metal total, dissolvido e “livre” (ultrafiltrado em 1kDa com fluxo tangencial - UFT). As SHA e suas frações (ácido húmico (AH) e fúlvico (AF) foram caracterizadas por meio da análise elementar, RMN 13C e fracionadas através da UFT com membranas de 100, 30,10, 3 e 1 kDa. Os métodos desenvolvidos de SCP (determinação do CdT) e de AGNES (determinação do CdL) aplicados nas amostras de águas in natura e ultrafiltradas em 1kDa, foram validados por comparação com a espectroscopia de absorção atômica com atomização em forno de grafite (GF-AAS). Os resultados encontrados revelaram que as principais diferenças entre as águas dos RI e RS estão associadas possivelmente à maior influência da água do mar e da sazonalidade no RS. A composição estrutural das SHA e AF apresentou maior predominância de compostos alifáticos. A distribuição do COD após o fracionamento molecular mostrou que as frações predominantes nas SHA e AF estiveram entre 10 e 1 kDa, enquanto que para os AH, 50% do COD é maior que 100kDa. Os resultados de SCP (LD de 1,6x10-9 mol L-1) e AGNES (LD de 1,9x10-9 mol L-1) revelaram o seu potencial na quantificação do Cd(II) total e livre, respectivamente, nas amostras estudadas. Os estudos da interação de Cd(II) e Pb(II) com os AF e AH revelaram que ambos os materiais dos RI e RS apresentaram maior complexação com Pb(II), e a complexação aumenta com o aumento do pH. / The study of speciation in natural waters are crucial to understand the behaviour and fate of metal ions in the environment, since these elements can be found in different chemical forms (complexed or free). The mobility, bioavailability and transport of these ions can be influenced by natural organic matter (NOM) and aquatic humic substances (AHS), which are the main ligands in aquatic environments. The objective of this thesis was to develop electroanalytical methods using the techniques stripping chronopotenciometry (SCP) and absence of gradients and nernstian stripping (AGNES), which are able to determine the concentration of total (TCd) and free (FCd) cadmium directly in water samples from the rivers Itapanhaú (RI) and Sorocabinha (RS), located in the state of São Paulo. It would make possible a future on-site measurement applications. This study also aimed to evaluate the influence of NOM and AHS extracted from these rivers in the interactions with Cd(II) and Pb(II). Water samples were taken in march and november/2014 in order to investigate the effect of seasonality. These samples were characterised using water quality parameters, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV/VIS spectroscopy and concentrations of total, dissolved and free metal (ultrafiltered through 1 kDa membrane with tangential flow- TUF). AHS and their fractions (humic, HA, and fluvic acid, FA) were characterised by elemental analysis, NMR 13C. They were fractionated through TUF through membranes 100, 30, 10, 3 and 1 kDa. The methods developed of SCP (TCd determination) and AGNES (CdL determination) applied in the in natura and ultrafiltered (1 kDa) samples were validated using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The results showed that the main differences between the waters from RI and RS are related probably to the influence of seawater and seasonality. The structural composition of AHS and FA presented higher content of aliphatic compounds. The distribution of DOC after size fractionation showed that the predominant fractions in the AHS and FA were between 10 and 1 kDa. On the other hand, 50% of the material was higher than 100 kDa in the HA. The results of SCP (LoD: 1.6x10-9 mol L-1) and AGNES (LoD: 1.9x10-9 mol L-1) revealed their potential in quantification of total and free Cd(II), respectively, in the samples analysed. The study of interactions of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with FA and HA showed that both materials from RI and RS presented higher complexation with Pb(II). The complexation increases with the pH for both materials. / FAPESP: 13/14122-0

The object of this essay is the Swedish author Agnes von Krusenstjerna's novels Ninas dagbok (The diary of Nina) and Helenas första kärlek (Helena's first love) as well as the cycle novel Fröknarna von Pahlen (The misses von Pahlen). The purpose is to explore her use of the discourse of girls' fiction, which I analyse by the depiciton of women's sexual awakening, and her depiction of sadomasochism. The theories of Elaine Showalter, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Judith Butler are used. Women's sexual awakening is depicted similarly in the novels but more explicitly in Fröknarna von Pahlen. In Ninas dagbok and Helenas första kärlek there is an eroticization of dominance and submission, which is not explicitly sadomasochistic. In Fröknarna von Pahlen, sadomasochism is explicitly described as a "perverted" sexuality and reveals the inequality in the violent sexuality, which is described as "normal". The sexuality that is included in Fröknarna von Pahlen's ending utopia is a female same-sex sexuality, which is a further development of the intimate friendships that are often depicted through the discourse of girls' fiction. Accordingly, Fröknarna von Pahlen and its ending utopia can be interpreted as a "city of girls", that is a further developement of subjects such as female same-sex sexuality and sadomasochism that can only be implied within the discourse of girls' fiction.

ABSTRACT Agnes of God is the story of a nun (Agnes) who gets pregnant while living in a convent. She almost dies after giving birth to a baby, who was later found dead in a garbage can. The cast consists of three members: Agnes; Mother Miriam Ruth (Mother Superior); and Dr. Martha Livingstone, the court appointed psychiatrist. Faith is tested as Dr. Livingstone draws closer to uncovering the truth surrounding the conception, birth, and death of Agnes’ baby. I performed the role of Mother Superior in the UNO production of Agnes of God. This thesis documents my rehearsal and performance journey. It includes a rehearsal journal and an evaluation of my performance. The play was performed in the Lab Theatre of the Performing Arts Center on November 5 and 6; November 14 and 15; and on November 19 and 20. Agnes of God is based on a true story. Keywords: Mother Superior, Agnes, Pielmeier, Sacrifice, Nun, Maureen Murphy

[pt] Esta dissertação busca construir um diálogo entre a escritora brasileira Clarice Lispector, nascida na Ucrânia e naturalizada brasileira, e Agnès Varda, cineasta belga radicada na França. Enquanto a primeira estabeleceu uma mudança de paradigma na prosa de ficção brasileira, produzindo imagens a partir da escrita, a segunda se tornou uma referência do cinema ensaístico em todo o mundo, usando o texto de suas narrações em off para expandir o significado das cenas que preenchiam a tela. A análise de suas obras revela pontos de intersecção na construção de suas narrativas: ambas cultivam um olhar especulador e formas semelhantes de estranhamento e deslocamento, partindo do fragmento para falar do todo e enfocando os que estão à margem. Esta dissertação tem também como objetivo identificar traços como flexibilidade e apagamento da ideia de roteiro e de linearidade, tanto temporal quanto da trama como um fio que se possa seguir. / [en] This thesis intends to build a dialogue between the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, born in Ukraine and naturalized Brazilian, and Agnès Varda, a Belgian filmmaker based in France. While the first established a paradigm shift in Brazilian fiction, producing images from writing, the second became a reference of essayistic cinema worldwide, using her narrative texts in off to expand the meaning of the scenes that filled the screen. The analysis of their work reveals points of intersection in the construction of their narratives: they both cultivate a curious look and similar forms of estrangement and displacement, starting from the fragment to speak of the whole and focusing on those who are on the edge. This thesis also seeks to identify aspects such as flexibility and dissolution of the idea of script and linearity, both temporal or as a plot that can be followed.

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka utanförskapet som tema i Maria Gripes Agnes Cecilia – en sällsam historia (1981). Uppsatsen analyserar hur romankaraktärernas utanförskap hänger samman med deras utveckling samt hur detta kan kopplas till den kvinnliga utvecklingsromanen som genre. Vidare undersöks huruvida utanförskapet kan ses som romanens tema, vilket även innebär att uppsatsen reflekterar över olika definitioner av tema som begrepp.  Uppsatsen utgår inte från någon särskild teori, till hjälp tas därför en rad olika verk som behandlar tidigare forskning av Agnes Cecilia - en sällsam historia samt Maria Gripes författarskap i stort. Skuggornas förtrogna (2000) av Ying Toijer-Nilsson och Sökande, spegling, metamorfos (1994) av Carina Lidström är de verk som används mest frekvent. För att synliggöra olika definitioner av tema som begrepp används Peter Hallbergs Litterär teori och stilistik (1972) och Christian Mehrstams artikel ”Superhjältar och björnvarelser: temabegreppet och lärarens förberedande läsning från förskolan till mellanstadiet” (2019).  Analysen redogör först för hur utanförskapet kommer till uttryck i romanen. Därefter framgår hur utanförskapet ligger till grund för karaktärernas personliga utveckling men även för själva händelseförloppet i romanen. Vidare behandlas romanen utifrån den kvinnliga utvecklingsromanen som genre, där riktas fokus mot relationen mellan mor och dotter vilket visar sig vara starkt kopplat till romanens utanförskap. / The purpose of this bachelor’s essay is to examine the exclusion as a theme in Agnes Cecilia (1981) by Maria Gripe. The essay is analysing the exclusion of the characters in the novel and the way this might be linked to their personal development, which leads the essay to a further focus: the female development novel as a genre. The essay also examines whether the exclusion can be seen as the theme of the novel, which makes the essay reflect on ways to define theme as a concept. The essay is not based on any theory, but previous research on Agnes Cecilia and the authorship of Maria Gripe are frequently used. Skuggornas förtrogna (2000) by Ying Toijer-Nilsson and Sökande, spegling, metamorfos (1994) by Carina Lidström are the ones of most importance. Litterär teori och stilistik (1972) by Peter Hallbergs and the article ”Superhjältar och björnvarelser: temabegreppet och lärarens förberedande läsning från förskolan till mellanstadiet” (2019) by Christian Mehrstam are both used to clarify different definitions of theme as a concept.  The analysis examines how the exclusion is expressed in the novel and the way this exclusion is the basis of the characters personal development, as for the course of events in the novel. Furthermore, the analysis focuses on the female development novel as a genre. The relationship between mother and daughter is especially highlighted, since it turns out to be strongly linked to the exclusion of the novel.

This thesis studies contemporary Scottish fiction by four writers Agnes Owens, James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, and Alan Warner, focusing on the problematic position of women characters and feminocentric texts within the dominant class and national(ist) discourses. It argues that the intimate interconstitution between Scottish masculine subjects and class/national politics alienates women from an active political subjectivisation, that the gender matrix of femininity/masculinity underlies the normative selection of which gendered subjects, and accordingly whose symbolic 'voice', can be perceived as 'historical' and 'political'. Scottish working-class men and the texts in which they are the central characters have been considered paradoxically as both a literary reflection of 'political defeatism', but also a form of 'subaltern' counter-politics to British neoliberalism and imperialism. This thesis points out that the common parameters of the debate on the possible (dis)continuation of both class and national(ist) discourses are masculinist, and as such women tend to be perceived as 'non-political' in this (re)politicisation of aesthetics. More fundamentally, these discourses are problematic for women's politicisation because they follow the rule of modern politics which assigns politicality on a fraternal basis, that political struggles are between men of different classes, nationalities and so on. The research interrogates this masculine-centrism in the dominant representational praxis which provides the discursive link between literature, politics, and history which (dis)places feminine subjects into a 'dehistoricised', 'depoliticised' space. It seeks to renegotiate the fraternal terms of this practice and to read feminine subjects and women-centred narratives as capable of conceptually illustrating emancipatory politics.

A Newfound Passion- Choreography analyzes the artistic process and life journey of creating choreography for musical theatre. My training as a dance minor at East Tennessee State University from 2011-2015 culminated in my final senior capstone experience as a choreographer for the ETSU Division of Theatre and Dance’s production of Oklahoma!. Composing a new musical theatre dance and analyzing the original choreography of Oklahoma! (and the art of choreography more generally) provided significant material for analysis, and the following research reflects what I learned and experienced. Overall, the experience of choreographing has changed the way I see myself as a dancer and has instilled in me a new sense of respect for choreographers around the world.
