Luis Cernuda (1902-1963) was exiled from Spain in 1938 due to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. He lived in Great Britain, America and Mexico and he never returned to his homeland. Until the mid-1960s, he was considered by the Spanish literary establishment to be an evasive and astringent poet. Since then, critics have recognised and praised the ethical quality and nature of his work and he is now considered to be one of the most profound and influential Spanish poets of the twentieth century. Despite the growing body of critical work on Cernuda, the salient role played by memory in his poetry has received little sustained critical attention. Critics have tended to stress the nostalgic and the evasive rather than the ethical and contemplative role played by memory in his work both before and after his departure from Spain. The objective of this thesis is to provide a more balanced view of the poet’s use of memory in his early and mature poetry. Rather than limiting his concept of memory to nostalgia for his youth or his homeland, it argues that he deploys memory as an instrument of self-analysis, self-discovery and self-criticism. The first chapter concentrates on his pre-exilic poetry in order to show that memory plays a fundamental role in his poetics prior to the experience of physical exile. The central body of the thesis examines the increasingly analytical and philosophical role played by memory in a selection of his mature prose and verse texts written outwith Spain.

L’exil constitue un mécanisme de combat contre l’opposition utilisé par les dictatures militaires du Cône Sud, dont la principale fonction était de provoquer un isolement des militants. Nous pensions que l’exil accomplirait efficacement cette fonction car en plus d’éloigner le militant de son territoire national, la protection, prévue par la législation internationale est conditionnée par le retrait de l’exilé de toutes activités politiques à l’étranger. Pourtant, malgré les souhaits des militaires et la législation internationale, une grande partie des exilés brésiliens partirent du pays avec l’intention de transformer l’exil en un espace de combat politique. Néanmoins, les mobilisations réalisées par les exilés furent marquées par des effets de transnationalisme, qui se caractérisent par l’universalisation et la rapidité de transmission d’idées et de valeurs. Voulant comprendre les influences du transnationalisme sur les formes de mobilisation politique des militants brésiliens, cette thèse analyse la trajectoire politique de la seconde génération d’exilés (1968-1979), dont une bonne partie était engagée dans la lutte armée contre la dictature et impliquée dans un projet révolutionnaire. Ainsi, nous nous intéresserons aux actions d’opposition des exilés brésiliens au Chili et en France, deux pays distincts qui représentent des lieux de concentration, à divers moments, de la seconde génération d’exilés brésiliens. La recherche dans des sources officielles et non-officielles (telle que la documentation diplomatique ouverte à la recherche, les documents produits par les propres exilés et les entrevues réalisées pour la thèse) démontre que des variables telles que le contexte politique du pays où ils étaient insérés, le système d’accueil et la présence de répression brésilienne, ont influencé les actions politiques des exilés. Ainsi, la recherche montre que tant que les exilés étaient au Chili, la conviction dans le succès de la révolution socialiste marqua les activités politiques des exilés brésiliens. Par la suite, en France, où les brésiliens se concentrèrent après le coup d’État chilien de 1973, l’exil brésilien entra dans une phase marquée par l’adhésion à de nouvelles thématiques telles que l’amnistie, les droits de l’Homme et la démocratie. / O exílio constituiu um mecanismo de combate à oposição utilizado pelas ditaduras militares no Cone Sul, cuja principal função era a de provocar o isolamento do militante.

Foram realizadas entrevistas com todos os autores (à exceção de Fernando Gabeira), bem como de seus editores. A idéia foi realizar um estudo de trajetórias políticas e pessoais, (visando o balanço das experiências e as motivações pessoais e/ou políticas para escrever sobre elas) baseados na analise narrativa, dos depoimentos concedidos e de pesquisa realizada em arquivos, jornais, revistas e dossiês dos aparelhos repressivos e informativos do Estado à época (DEOPS) / Abstract: The issue of this thesis is: the memories of former members of urban guerrilla on Brazil and their analyses on armed struggle period, of prison experience and or exile, as well of the return to Brazil and brazilian society. The writers and the books studded are: Renato Carvalho Tapajós (Em Câmara Lenta, 1977, Ed. Alfa-Ômega), Fernando de Paula N. Gabeira (O que é isso, companheiro?, 1979, Ed.

Interviews were realized with all the authors (except Fernando Gabeira), as well with theirs publishers. The idea was to realize an study of political and personal trajectories, (searching the balance of the experiences and personal or political motivations to write about them) based on the narrative analyses, the conceded interviews and the search work realized in files, newspapers, magazines and secrets documents of repressives and informatives State structures on that epoch (named DEOPS) / Mestrado / Pensamento Social / Mestre em Sociologia

Globalization in the past few decades has been marked by increased mobility of highly skilled workers from one country to another. Even though self-initiated expatriation is a widespread phenomenon, it is a relatively under-researched phenomenon in the academic literature, especially in an organizational context. Existing literature shows that not all individuals are equally suited to embark on a new life in another country, and self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) could be particularly susceptible to failure since they have no support from a home organization. This study was designed to investigate the experiences of self-initiated professional expatriates and the effect it had on their work performance. The purpose was to understand how their organizational and social experience affected their cross-cultural adjustment process and in turn affected their individual work performance. The researcher used a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews, observations, and documents with ten self-initiated expatriates. This study contributed to the expanding literature on the experiences of self-initiated expatriates, specifically how different support systems affected cross-cultural adjustment and individual work performance.

Tomás Segovia and Angelina Muñiz Huberman belong to a group of writers known as «Hispanomexicanos». Most approaches to this generation have been towards the role that exile plays in their early work, paying almost no attention to its role after that initial stage. These approaches have been limited to the first years of their work, in the belief that those writers subsequently moved on to deal with issues which are different from those in which their experience of exile is clearly the central topic. However, through an analysis of the poetry of Muñiz and Segovia, this thesis aims to show that exile continues to play a central role beyond that first stage. It argues that their exile is transformed into a series of symbols that come to constitute a shared style and, more importantly, it proposes that their experience of exile is transformed into a feeling of existential displacement which impels a search for meaning and belonging to the world. Consequently, the conclusion presented in this thesis is that exile plays a central role in their poetry, in the sense that it expresses the ways in which these two writers search and transmit meaning and attempt to feel part of the world. Ultimately, this thesis aims to set an example of approach which could be productively taken to study the work of other writers from this generation.

An estimated twelve million people worldwide are stateless, or living without the legal bond of citizenship or nationality with any state, and consequently face barriers to employment, property ownership, education, health care, customary legal rights, and national and international protection. More than one-quarter of the world's stateless people live in Thailand. This feminist ethnography explores the impact of statelessness on the everyday lives of Burmese women political exiles living in Thailand through the paradigm of human security and its six indicators: food, economic, personal, political, health, and community security. The research reveals that exclusion from national and international legal protections creates pervasive and profound political and personal insecurity due to violence and harassment from state and non-state actors. Strong networks, however, between exiled activists and their organizations provide community security, through which stateless women may access various levels of food, economic, and health security. Using the human security paradigm as a metric, this research identifies acute barriers to Burmese stateless women exiles' experiences and expectations of well-being, therefore illustrating the potential of human security as a measurement by which conflict resolution scholars and practitioners may describe and evaluate their work in the context of positive peace.

This report examines the ways in which Cesare Pavese and Italo Calvino use images of the foreign woman as other. Specifically, both authors inscribe foreign territories onto the bodies of their female characters in order to confront complex cultural differences. Italy is the site of this gendered inscription in Pavese’s Il carcere, while various real and imagined foreign lands are made female in Calvino’s Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore and Le città invisibili. In Pavese’s novella, the satyr-like Concia and the overly maternal Elena are embodiments of Southern and Northern Italy, respectively, and the failure of the protagonist to form a relationship with either woman represents his failure to assimilate into the mezzogiorno and his simultaneous rejection of northern society. In Calvino’s two works, female characters and attributes are consciously used to embody various foreign countries so that the protagonists may grasp the unknown, both physically and psychologically. By linking woman and terrain, Pavese and Calvino attempt to dominate distant lands, which are otherwise enigmatic and incomprehensible, in the typical Orientalist fashion. / text
