Differently from domestic firms, internationalized firms have more investment opportunities and face more adversity in their businesses. We used a sample of non-financial publicly traded companies in Brazil and Mexico for the period 2006 to 2010. Panel regressions with fixed effects were used in the study. We found evidence that degree of internationalization is a determinant of cash and that cash holding increases quadratically as the degree of company internationalization increases. Brazilian dividend-paying companies hold more cash but this effect does not apply to Mexican companies. Furthermore, the behavior detected for Brazilian and Mexican companies was different from American companies studied by (Chiang and Wang, 2011). Finally, in the period before the crisis, companies held less cash on their balance sheets. / Estendemos estudos anteriores a cerca do nível de caixa e seus determinantes, analisando a relação entre grau de internacionalização e nível de caixa das empresas. Diferente das empresas domésticas, as empresas internacionalizadas possuem mais oportunidades de investimento e enfrentam mais adversidades nos seus negócios. Utilizamos uma amostra de empresas de capital aberto não financeiras do Brasil e do México, para o período de 2006 a 2010. Regressões em painel com efeitos fixos foram utilizadas. Encontramos evidências de que o grau de internacionalização é um determinante de caixa e que o nível de caixa aumenta de forma quadrática à medida que o grau de internacionalização da empresa aumenta. As empresas brasileiras pagadoras de dividendos seguram mais caixa, mas que esse efeito não se aplica para empresas mexicanas. Além disso, o comportamento encontrado para as empresas brasileiras e mexicanas foi diferente de empresas norte-americanas, estudadas por Chiang e Wang (2011). Por fim, no período antes da crise, as empresas seguraram menos caixa em seus balanços.

Cette thèse porte sur le rapport entre la fécondité et la religion. Dans une approchesociodémographique, cet ouvrage propose une analyse sur les comportements et les attitudes descouples catholiques face à la planification familiale. Nous nous proposons d’expliquer comment cescouples concilient leur foi avec la nécessité de contrôler les naissances, puis la manière dont ilsjustifient leur dépendance ou désobéissance à la doctrine et, enfin, nous montrerons comment lesnouvelles attitudes coexistent avec les modèles traditionnels. Par ailleurs, étant donné que le Mexiqueest un pays qui appartient à l’ensemble d’un contexte culturel traditionnel dont les principalescaractéristiques garantissent la prévalence des rapports inégalitaires de sexe et de dominationmasculine, il nous a paru important d’inclure dans notre recherche une perspective de genre. / This thesis focuses on the relationship between fertility and religion. In a demographic approach, thisthesis provides an analysis on the behavior and attitudes of Catholic couples face of family planning. Itproposes to explain how they reconcile their faith with the need for birth control and how they justifytheir dependence or disobedience to the doctrine. Finally, one of our main objectives is to recognizethe procedures by which new attitudes coexist with traditional models. Moreover, given that Mexico isa country that belongs to the set of a traditional cultural context in which its main characteristicsguarantee the prevalence of unequal relations of sex and male domination, it was considered importantto include in our research a gender perspective. / Esta tesis se centra en la relación entre la fecundidad y la religión. Desde una perspectivasociodemográfica, este trabajo ofrece un análisis sobre el comportamiento y las actitudes de las parejascatólicas frente a la planificación familiar. Lo que se propone es explicar cómo estas personas logranconciliar su fe con la necesidad de controlar la natalidad y la manera con qué justifican su conformidado su desobediencia a la doctrina. Finalmente, uno de nuestros principales objetivos es el de reconocerlos procedimientos por los cuales las nuevas actitudes coexisten con los modelos tradicionales. Porotro lado, dado que México es un país que pertenece al conjunto de un contexto tradicional en el quesus principales características garantizan la desigualdad de sexos y la dominación masculina, seconsideró importante incluir en nuestra investigación, una perspectiva de género.

In this thesis I describe the transformation process of Tepito, the "brave neighbourhood" in Mexico City, from 1960 to the present day. In this microhistory, I intend to explore how the great socio-economic changes, that have occurred in Mexico in the last 60 years, have been reflected locally. I especially focus on the incorporation of the traditional Mexican society into the modern and globalized world; The process of corporatization of the popular sector into the politics of the single party; The transition from the stabilizing development economic model (characterized by the Import substitution industrialization) to neoliberalism; The gradual rupture of the social fabric hastened by the urban planning in the 60s and 70s, the 1985 earthquake and the proliferation of drug trafficking and armed violence; And the beginning of the digital era. I also try to explore the validity of the Culture of Poverty theory which was formulated by the anthropologist Oscar Lewis during his field research in Tepito in the late 50's of the last century and I describe which of the aspects of the theory have changed.

This paper explores femicide and social movements impact on politics, a phenomenon where national, international and transnational politics overlap. The Mexican anti-femicide movement belongs to the global justice movement and struggle for women’s right to life. This study highlights the differences the movement faces even within a state, on the subnational level, through a comparative and theory developing case study. The variables of mobilization structure and political opportunity are examined in the three cases of the Mexican states Chihuahua, Yucatán and the Federal District. The study indicates the movement’s alliances and its connection between the local and international level in the post-2007 context. The hypothesis which connects the anti-femicide movement as part of the political opportunity on subnational level and varying rates of femicide is explored. The study concludes that the aspects of repression, threats of violence and impunity, aspect most prominent in Chihuahua, impact the anti-femicide movement and consequently femicide rates to some extent.

My research deals with fantasy and the fantastic as genres, as well as with their subgenres. I propose a new genology for fantasy and fantastic literature and their subgenres in which they are part of a continuum, with fantasy standing on one end and mimetic literature standing on the other, the fantastic being their middle ground. Within this continuum, the subgenres – which I call fantasy marvel-fiction and fantastic marvel-fiction, fantasy science-fiction and fantastic science-fiction, fantasy surrealism and fantastic surrealism – are distinguished among themselves according to two axes, namely: a) the inner coherence or incoherence of the world the text presents – their being subjected or not to the laws of that world –; b) the nature, and the appropriate explanation – marvelous or scientific –, of the phenomenon that breaks the natural laws of the reader’s known real world. This relationship between reality and fantasy has been essential to my investigation. More specifically, what I have named “the scientific urban gaze” of reality has been the touch-stone to establish what is fantasy and what is not and to create the consequent genology. The genology I propose must therefore be pragmatic: the reader’s view of reality must be taken into account in the process of placing a text within this continuum and the proper genre and subgenre. Once the genology is fully explained, I compare it to the work of some of the most prominent critics on the field of fantasy and the fantastic in order to see similitudes and differences between their research and mine. For the validity of my genology to be demonstrated, I apply it in the analysis of some Mexican narrative works and show how the genre and subgenre of a text – in interaction with the text’s archetypes and narrative components – can be an effective means to convey ideology or worldview. The genological approach, therefore, integrated with an archetypal and a narratological one, constitutes an efficient tool for a holistic semiotic analysis. Notwithstanding that in my thesis I apply it to literary works, it can also be applied to cinema and theatre.

Après les catastrophes territoriales que le Mexique a subies au cours du XIXème siècle, le législateur mexicain a imposé une série de restrictions sévères sur la possession et la propriété des biens immobiliers sur les côtes et les frontières. Ces restrictions sont décrites dans l'article 27 de la Constitution Politique des États-Unis Mexicains, où il est signalé qu'aucun étranger ne peut avoir domaine directe de la terre dans une bande couvrant cinquante kilomètres de la côte et cent kilomètres de la frontière. Historiquement, toutefois, la propriété étrangère dans la zone restreinte a été toléré et même encouragé par des mécanismes juridiques tels que le fidéicommis sur des biens immobiliers en zone restreinte et les sociétés commerciales, de sorte que maintenant la côte mexicaine, particulièrement la péninsule de la Basse Californie, est dans un processus de reterritorialisation qui fait que tous les jours la terre passe aux mains d'étrangers et les côtes deviennent une zone d'exclusion. À travers de cette étude interdisciplinaire, on essayera de comprendre l'impact de ce processus sur la société péninsulaire et l'évolution du phénomène migratoire Nord-Sud qui se produit au Mexique. / After the territorial disaster Mexico suffered during the nineteenth century, the Mexican legislature imposed a series of tough restrictions on the possession and ownership of real estate both on coasts and borders. These restrictions are stated in the Article 27 of the Political Constitution of the Mexican United States. This Article stipules that no foreigner can have direct ownership of land in a strip comprising fifty kilometers from the shoreline and one hundred kilometers from the border. Historically, however, foreign ownership in restricted zones has been tolerated and even encouraged through legal mechanisms such as the Trust for Real Estate in the Restricted Zone and through Corporations. As a result of this, now, the Mexican coast, particularly in the peninsula of Baja California, is in a process of re territorialization. During this process, the land becomes property of foreigners and the coasts become Zone of Exclusion. Through an interdisciplinary study, we will try to understand the effects that this process has on the peninsular society and the evolution of the North -South migration phenomenon that occurs in Mexico. / Tras los desastres territoriales que México sufrió durante el siglo XIX, el legislador mexicano impuso una serie de fuertes restricciones a la posesión y propiedad de bienes inmuebles tanto en costas como en fronteras. Estas restricciones se encuentran señaladas en el artículo 27 de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, en donde se estipula que ningún extranjero podrá tener dominio directo de la tierra en una franja que abarca cincuenta kilómetros a partir de la línea costera y cien kilómetros a partir de la línea fronteriza. Sin embargo, históricamente la propiedad extranjera en zona restringida ha sido tolerada e incluso fomentada a través de mecanismos jurídicos como el Fideicomiso de Bienes Inmuebles en Zona Restringida y las Sociedades Mercantiles, de tal manera que actualmente el litoral mexicano, en particular el de la península de Baja California, se encuentra en un proceso de reterritorialización al pasar cotidianamente a manos de extranjeros y convertirse las costas en zona de exclusión. A través de un estudio interdisciplinario se intentarán comprender los efectos que este proceso tiene sobre la sociedad peninsular así como la evolución del fenómeno migratorio Norte-Sur que se presenta en México.

Dada a diversidade étnica, linguística e histórica do período, a investigação buscou compreender como a educação, especialmente através dos manuais escolares, auxiliou a construir uma memória comum e assentar as bases de um projeto de cidadania para o México, na virada do século XIX para o XX. Foram analisados seis manuais escolares que faziam parte de um projeto unificador, fruto da Reforma Educativa ocorrida no período. A escolha desses manuais deveu-se à sua importância no período, à sua repercussão em anos posteriores e ao papel social de seus autores. A pesquisa, dentro do campo da História Cultural, pretendeu discutir qual era o cidadão mexicano tido como "ideal" a partir desta Reforma Educativa, quais heróis foram eleitores como símbolos mexicanos (e quais deveriam ser calados), quais os usos políticos e simbólicos dessas figuras e como elas representavam o México que o intelectuais porfiristas pretenderam construir / Abstract: This research attemped to discuss how the production of Mexican scholars' books, during Porfirio Díaz government (1876-1911), helped to contructed the past representation of the country. Given the ethnic, linguistic and historical diversity in this period, the investigation tried to understand how the education, specially through the scholars' books, helped to develop a commom memory and lay the foundations os a citizenship project to Mexico, at the turn of nineteenth to the twentieth. There were analysed six scholars' books that were part os an unifying project, fruit of the Educative Reform ocurried in this period. The choice of these textbooks was due to its importance in this period, its repercussion in later years and the social role of its authors. The research, inside the camp of Cultural History, intended to discuss which was the Mexican citizen thought like "ideal" as from this Educative Reform, which heroes were elected like Mexican symbols (and which others should be silent), which were the political and symbolical uses of there figures and how they represented the Mexico that the Porifian intelectuals intended to construct / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestra em História

Esta tese analisa a transterritorialidade decorrente de institucionalidades formais e informais concorrentes em nove cidade de Brasil, Colômbia e México. Mais especificamente, trata das consequências sociais da produção de múltiplos territórios e multiterritorialidades a partir da competição entre institucionalidades formais legais e institucionalidades informais ilegais ligadas ao narcotráfico. A pesquisa se desenvolveu nas cidades brasileiras de Porto Alegre e Rio Janeiro, colombianas de Bogotá, Buenaventura, Cali e Medellín, e mexicanas de Cidade do México, Culiacán e Xalapa. O estudo busca compreender as distintas dinâmicas de dominação funcional e apropriação simbólica dos espaços urbanos. Interessou, neste sentido, de forma mais contundente, a investigação dos efeitos sobre a população de territorialidades mais funcionais instituídas a partir da unidade regra-sanção baseada no disciplinamento dos corpos pela violência. Examina, ainda, a relação recursiva entre território (e territorialidade), instituição e cultura. Associada ao paradigma de complexidade proposto por Morin, a investigação propriamente dita, inspirada no estudo de múltiplos casos, envolveu um conjunto de técnicas para coleta e análise de dados Foram utilizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, observações a partir de saídas de campo, registros fotográficos, análise de conteúdo e análise estatística descritiva. Em termos de resultados, demonstrou-se que os moradores, especialmente os residentes na periferia das cidades pesquisadas, vivem a transterritorialidade imposta por regras inscritas nos corpos por institucionalidades formais e informais. Eles têm suas rotinas ordenadas por códigos formais e informais de conduta, contenções permanentes e temporárias dispostas no e pelo espaço geográfico. Verificou-se a existência de uma relação recursiva entre estratégias de evitação e contornamento. Constatou-se que, na maioria dos casos, os territórios produzidos e mantidos por forças institucionais ligadas ao Estado e ilegais associadas ao narcotráfico são mais funcionais do que simbólicos. Dito de outra forma, o espaço é dominado pelo estabelecimento de regras e sanções, e não apropriado por processos identitários ou de identificação cultural. Por fim, chega-se à conclusão de que a transterritorialidade é uma emergência complexa, em termos morinianos, decorrente dos processos de produção e manutenção de multiterritorialidades de institucionalidades formais e informais. / This thesis analyzes the trans-territoriality caused by competing formal and informal institutions in nine cities of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. More specifically, this research is about the social consequences of the formation of multiple territories and multi-territorialities produced by the competition between legal formal institutions and illegal informal institutions connected to drug trafficking. The research was developed in the Brazilian cities of Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro, in the Colombian cities of Bogotá, Buenaventura, Cali and Medellín and in the Mexican cities of Mexico City, Culiacán and Xalapa. The study aims to comprehend the distinct processes of functional domination and symbolic appropriation of urban spaces. The research was mainly interested in investigating the effects of more functional territorialities on the population established by the connection between rules and sanctions based on the use of violence in order to discipline bodies. The study also examined the recursive relation among territory (and territoriality), institution e culture. Associated with Morin's Paradigm of Complexity, the investigation itself, inspired by the study of multiple cases, involved a range of techniques to acquire and to analyze data The research used semi-structured interviews, observations during field trips, photographic record, content analysis and descriptive statistics. As for the results, this thesis demonstrates that the inhabitants, especially the ones who reside on the periphery of the cities researched, live the process of trans-territoriality imposed by the rules of formal and informal institutionalities. They have their routines commanded by formal and informal codes of conduct, permanent and temporary restraints established in the geographic space. The research found the existence of a recursive relation between bypassing restraints and strategies to avoid populations. The study also noted that, in most cases, the territories produced and maintained by institutional forces connected to the State and illegal forces associated with the drug trafficking are more functional than symbolic. In other words, the space is dominated by rules and sanctions and not appropriated by identity processes or cultural identification. Finally, the research came to the conclusion that trans-territoriality is a complex emergence, in Morin’s terms, due to processes of production and maintenance of formal and informal multi-territorialities and institionalities.
