This thesis builds on Michael Dutton‘s work on the policing of the political in China. It explores the role of the friend/enemy dialectic in Xinjiang. The analysis centers on the Uyghurs and argues that ethnicity has played a central role in shaping the excision of enemy from the category of friend since the construction of the People‘s Republic of China. This identification of enmity is undergirded by the particular ethnic vicissitudes that have produced both a horizontally inclusive and vertically hierarchical Chinese nation. This ethnic component of Chinese nationalism situates the ethnic Han majority as the core of the nation. Beginning with the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang and its incorporation into the PRC and extending to the ―7.5‖ race riots and hypodermic needle attacks in the summer of 2009 the thesis contends that the categories of ethnicity have been at the heart of the elimination of the enemy in China and can be linked directly to many of the Chinese state‘s colonial practices. / Graduate

No território de Piúma, adquiriu boa parte da massa falida de João Baptista Rodocanachi, um comerciante grego de grosso trato que explorava madeiras de lei e as comercializava para construção civil e naval. Na fazenda Monte Bello, após instalar colonos ingleses, Thomaz Dutton se envolveu em querelas jurídico-fundiárias com mandões do lugar com quem tinha relações interdependentes, sobretudo com Alexandrino Pires Martins e José Gonçalves Costa Beiriz, que ocultavam, ao fim e ao cabo, um complexo jogo por disputas políticas locais, por prestígio, por boa reputação e poder. No seio dessas disputas estava a propriedade da terra, símbolo de poder e mando, que o levou à insolvência. Este estudo investiga a trajetória de Thomaz Dutton, pautando-se na teoria da Configuração de Norbert Elias associada à teoria do Poder Simbólico de Pierre Bourdier. Objetiva compreender a maneira como as práticas do poder são materializadas nas relações sociais, identificando a aprendizagem extraída de relações interdependentes bem como os valores construídos a partir delas. Parte de análises de fontes documentais, como relatórios presidenciais provinciais, requerimentos, atas, cartas e artigos de jornais corpus documental, dominante nesta investigação , buscando vestígios no conteúdo dos discursos ali inseridos para poder descortinar as tramas do tecido social com lentes de objetivas aumentadas. Desse modo, torna possível trazer à tona a história local do território do vale do Iconha/Piúma no espaço de tempo entre 1870 e 1906 e assim expor suas particularidades e singularidades, inserindo-a no contexto da história regional capixaba e nacional. Destarte, usando o alicerce teórico-metodológico já apresentado, destaca as particularidades e feitos do passado da sociedade piumense que ainda estavam fora do campo de experiência e precisavam ser conhecidas para fazer parte da História do Espírito Santo.

The thesis focuses on Denis Dutton's cluster definition of art, its critique and possible defence in the context of evolutionary aesthetics. The main theme that accompanies the thesis is the connection between the evolutionary origins of art and its definition today. After an introductory presentation of evolutionary aesthetics' approaches to the search for the origin and definition of art, the central section is devoted to Dutton's cluster theory. This is presented from two perspectives - against the background of his understanding of the Darwinian-inspired concept of art, that is, based on natural and sexual selection, and against the background of Berys Gaut's original cluster theory. Dutton's theory has faced criticisms of the normative universalism that his evolutionary theory has the potential to set up, the subjectivity regarding antipathy to modern art, and the over-openness of the cluster. The thesis will attempt to evaluate the critique and to clarify whether Dutton succeeds in advocating a link between the origins of art and its modern definition. Keywords: Denis Dutton, evolutionary aesthetics, darwinism, adaptation, cluster theory, definition of art.

This dissertation seeks to retrieve a crucial aspect of the spiritual heritage of Anne Dutton, her Trinitarian spirituality as it was developed in the historical context of eighteenth-century Trinitarian controversies in England and especially the Particular Baptists’ defense of the Trinity. It argues that Dutton’s Trinitarian spirituality is not only doctrinally orthodox, but also full of doxological devotion and practical comfort. It typifies the 1689 London Baptist Confession’s statement about the Trinity being the foundation of “communion with God and comfortable dependence on him.” The first three chapters serve introductory and biographical purposes. Chapter 1 introduces the purpose of the thesis, the primary sources to be examined, and the organization of the dissertation. Chapter 2 presents a historical literature review of Dutton and her works. Chapter 3 sketches a portrait of Dutton in the four biblical images of the sinner, sojourner, servant and saint. Chapter 4 supplies the historical context for Dutton’s Trinitarian spirituality. It attends to both the Trinitarian controversies in eighteenth-century England and the defense of the Trinity by such Particular Baptist ministers as John Gill, Benjamin Beddome, Benjamin Wallin, and Andrew Fuller. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the nature and work of the Trinity. Chapter 5 presents Dutton’s thought about the ontology of the Trinity, which highlights the co-deity and co-equality of the Father, Son, and Spirit. Chapter 6 studies her doctrine of the work of the Trinity. In addition to the tripartite work of the Father in election, the Son in redemption, and the Spirit in particular application, attention is also given to Dutton’s expostulations of the adoption of the Father, advocateship of the Son and the sealing of the Spirit. Both the distinctive work of the triune God and their unity are underscored in the economy of human salvation. Chapters 7 and 8 deal with Dutton’s application of the Trinity in Christian experience. Chapter 7 examines her view of communion with the triune God primarily from her work, Walking with God and from comparison with John Owen’s work on the topic. The ways of this communion, which entail the primary way of Christ and the derivative ways of faith, worship, providence, and holiness are then illustrated by her spiritual autobiography. Chapter 8 discusses Dutton’s use of the Trinity in her epistolary counseling of the afflicted souls. They were directed to depend on the sovereign grace of the Father, the love of the Son, and the comfort of the Spirit. This dissertation concludes with a call for re-centering Christian devotion and practices, such as worship, education, and counseling, on the Trinity as the way to revive the Christian life in praxis as well as in doctrine.

Psicólogas / El job crafting, enmarcado en el Modelo de Demandas y Recursos Laborales, alude a aquellos cambios que realizan las personas en sus puestos de trabajo para alinear sus demandas y recursos laborales con sus propias necesidades y habilidades personales. De acuerdo al modelo, esta práctica se conforma de cuatro dimensiones: aumento de recursos personales, aumento de recursos sociales, aumento de demandas desafiantes y disminución de demandas obstaculizantes. La presente investigación se orientó a dilucidar cómo se manifiesta esta práctica en dos grupos de profesionales de una empresa chilena, para lo cual se llevó a cabo una investigación exploratoria mediante entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Como resultado, se observaron tres de las cuatro dimensiones y la mitad de la muestra presentó mayores niveles de job crafting en una dimensión específica. Se concluye que el job crafting (moldeamiento individual del trabajo) es un concepto que aplica para la realidad chilena y es de gran utilidad dentro del contexto laboral actual para gestionar tanto la carga de trabajo como la motivación de los trabajadores
