Out of the violent conflicts in the former Soviet Union, the war over Nagorno-Karabakh is the most threatening to the future development of the region, both economically and politically, as it is no closer to a solution than when the fighting ended in 1994. This is regrettable as there are some opportunities that provide the warring parties enough flexibility to move forward in the negotiation process. This thesis analyzes the evolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the aegis of the OSCE Minsk Group from 1992 to the present. It discusses not only the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and what went wrong with the Minsk Group's attempts to find a fair and objective solution to the conflict, but also the obstacles and opportunities for a settlement. From this discussion, suggestions to improve the Minsk Group's performance are presented, and future predictions of a peaceful settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will also be discussed. / Master of Arts

This research studies two memorials to the Holocaust victims in Minsk, Belarus with the aim to identify how these spaces of commemoration were formed. The study builds upon the analysis of three spheres: the physical space of the chosen memorials, decision-making process regarding their installation, and social practices that have happened around. Additionally, this thesis analyses the correlations of these areas. The methods for the research are qualitative and explorative case study analysis. An extensive review of documents and media is done. Additionally, direct observations of the urban memorials were conducted.

De acordo com levantamento bibliográfico para esta pesquisa, observou-se que o autor é pouco explorado nos livros didáticos do ensino fundamental e médio e o viés infantil não é devidamente explorado pela crítica literária e/ou livros didáticos. Por esse motivo, este trabalho se propõe a trabalhar as seguintes narrativas: A terra dos meninos pelados (conto infantil: 1937); “Luciana” (1946) e “Minsk” (1945) (contos de Insônia), com objetivo de analisar a representação do personagem infantil em Graciliano Ramos e examinar a recepção desses contos em sala de aula, a partir das seguintes questões: Qual a relevância do personagem infantil na obra do autor? Como alunos do ensino fundamental receberiam a expressão de sofrimento e exclusão infantil, apresentada por Graciliano Ramos? Partiu-se da hipótese de que a representação do cotidiano, as ansiedades e expectativas, além das dificuldades que os personagens infantis possuem de compreender a si mesmos e situarem-se histórica e psicologicamente no meio social em que vivem, passando por momentos de descoberta e amadurecimento, possivelmente envolveriam o leitor “iniciante”, uma vez que os problemas desses sintetizam e projetam a experiência humana infanto-juvenil. Com esse intuito, a experiência pedagógica foi desenvolvida através de seqüência didática, em uma escola pública. A principal fonte de dados foram as respostas, dos alunos-colaboradores, aos roteiros de leitura e às perguntas formuladas em sala de aula. Do ponto de vista teórico, para a análise dos contos, esta pesquisa fundamentou-se na vertente da hermenêutica, filiando-se, para isso, a autores como Bosi (2003a), Eco (1993), Eagleton (1983), entre outros. No que se refere ao ensino de literatura, apoiou-se na teoria da estética da recepção e do efeito, baseando-se nas propostas de Jauss (1994), Chartier (2001), Iser (1979), Zilberman (1989) e nas propostas metodológicas de Chiappini (2005), Cosson (2006) e Pinheiro (2003), entre outros. Embora, inicialmente, a pesquisa se voltasse à recorrência do sofrimento dos personagens infantis na obra do autor, os alunos leram as narrativas por outro viés: o da diversão e brincadeira, ensinando à professora-pesquisadora a olhar os contos a partir de outra perspectiva. A pesquisa mostrou que há várias leituras para um mesmo texto e que a experiência do aluno deve ser levada em consideração. / Inside of Graciliano Ramos' works, he is considered an author with complex texts also not available to the public in general, the literary critic has been approached on his infantile characters separately, hindering his work relevance at all. Through the bibliographical research data, it was observed that the author is little explored in the fundamental and high school teaching and text books, and his juvenile inclination is not properly explored by the literary critic or in text books. For that reason, this study intends to work in the following narratives: The skinned boys' earth (infantile story: 1937); Luciana (1946) and Minsk (1945) (Insomnia stories), in order to analyze the juvenile character's representation in Graciliano Ramos also to examine the reception of those stories in the classroom, from the following subjects: Which is the infantile character's relevance in the author's work? How fundamental teaching students would receive the suffering expression and infantile exclusion presented by Graciliano Ramos? It departures from an hypothesis of the daily representation, such as: anxieties and expectations, besides difficulties the young characters possess in understanding themselves being placed historically and psychologically on their social context, throughout discovery and ripening moments, possibly, the beginning reader should be involved, once that those problems synthesize and project the infant-juvenile human experience. With this intention, the pedagogic experience is developed through a didactic sequence, in a public school. The main source data were the student-collaborators answers to the reading routes and the questions done in the classroom. Through a theoretical point of view, this research story analysis is based on the comprehension slope, according to authors as Bosi (2003a), Echo (1993), Eagleton (1983), among others. It refers to the literature teaching; it leaned in the aesthetics, reception and effect theory, related to the proposals of Jauss (1994), Chartier (2001), Iser (1979), Zilberman (1989) and in Chiappini (2005), Cosson (2006) and Pinheiro (2003), methodological proposals among others. Although, initially, the research turned to the appealing the infantile characters' suffering, in the author's work, the students read the narratives through another point of view: the amusement and game, teaching the researcher teacher observe the stories from other perspective. This research shows that there are several interpretations for the same text that student's experience may be let in consideration.
