Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The aim of this study is to examine the meaning of the act of thinking and its implications on the possibility of doing or not philosophy. From the exposition of Gilles Deleuze about what the thought is, I try to point out his secret or not formally announced uses. This means that if philosophy creates concepts, it is because they refer to universal problems, meaning, in other words, that they always repeat themselves, responding to the particular needs of each time. If the problem of thought as noted by Deleuze is universal, this work tries to comprehend how philosophical discourses are constructed, either causing the difference or neutralizing the ability that the Other also have to think and create. Hence, even exercised by images (in the case of the art), philosophy as a way to justify the intentions of thought would create double-sided monsters with the retails of its history: both affirming the forms of life and making the existence an unhappy process of recognition. / O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar o significado do ato de pensar e suas implicações diante da possibilidade de se fazer ou não filosofia. Partindo da exposição de Gilles Deleuze sobre o que é pensamento, procuro apontar para seus usos secretos ou não formalmente anunciados. Isso significa que se a filosofia cria conceitos, é porque eles referem a problemas universais, ou seja, que se repetem sempre, respondendo não obstante às necessidades particulares de cada tempo. Se o problema do pensamento tal como notado por Deleuze é universal, trata-se de compreender a forma como os discursos filosóficos são construídos, seja para provocar a diferença, seja para neutralizar a capacidade que o Outro também teria de pensar e criar. Donde, até mesmo exercitada por imagens (no caso da arte), a filosofia como forma de justificar as intenções do pensamento criaria com retalhos de sua história um monstro de dupla face: tanto afirmando as formas de vida quanto tornando a existência um processo infeliz de recognição. / Mestre em Filosofia

We give an exposition of theorem of Gismatullim, where he proved the existence of G¥ in a theory with NIP. / Neste trabalho estudamos três subgrupos de um grupo G com índices limitados em G: A interseção de todos os subgrupos definíveis de G , o menor subgrupo tipo-definível e o menor subgrupo invariante de G, chamados componentes conexas de G, denotados respectivamente G0G00 e G¥. Apresentamos uma demonstração da existência de G¥ em uma teoria NIP, baseados na prova feita por Gismatullin em 2011.

From the beginning of the twenty first century vampires begin to appear in other genres other than the horror and their image in popular media starts to change. The changes begin not only in the image but also the perception of vampire in popular media shifts into new directions. These changes are interconnected and influence each other. The thesis will analyse the ways vampires are portrayed in films and TV series from the end of the twenties century until recent times. The changes happening will be explored across different genres and across time. The thesis will then attempt to examine whether there is a pattern of trends within the observed forms, and whether these trends are common across the different genres.

This study investigates monstrous representations through gender and body in the two fantasy tv-shows Locke & Keyand The Witcher. The aim of the study is to examine how these representations move beyond the gender and body binary and how this creates meaning for its audience. To highlight these monstrous representations this study focuses on two characters from each series, Dodge and Yennefer. As a methodological approach this study uses a thematic analysis as well as a modified trans reading and four themes have been identified in the material: the ambivalent and ambiguous monstrosity, the variable body and gender, the perfect monstrosity, and human monsters. To analyze these themes the study will operate within the framework of monster theory as well as research surrounding trans and crip. The research concludes that gender and body, through the monstrous, is in constant motion and that monstrous embodiment is made through difference where all bodies and genders are changeable and fluid.

Denna studie undersöker den moderna nypaganska livssynen Rökkatru genom ett jungianskt perspektiv. I undersökningen används forskningsmetoder som grundad teori även kallat GT och digital antropologi som inspirerats av netnografi för att bearbeta materialet som studerats. Det material som samlats in genom dessa två metoder härstammar från olika webbsidor och forum på internet som behandlar Rökkatru på olika plan. Genom GT har en kärnkategori växt fram från materialet, denna kärnkategori har sedan delats in i underkategorier och egenskaper, allt detta har studerats via en jungiansk teoretisk synvinkel tills slutligen ett teoretiskt begrepp växt fram som kan användas inom framtida forskning. Genom den teoretiska analysen har vikten av den personliga och kollektiva skuggan i relation till individuationsprocessen belysts, där rituella, mytologiska och filosofiska aspekter står i fokus.

While the strategy of lending a voice to the monstrous is a well known aspect of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's works, the female monster is a notable exception to this case. In this thesis, I excavate a theory of female monstrosity through a reading of some of Lovecraft's most read stories and the agency of female characters that appears within. Comparing these female registers of monstrosity to their masculine counterpart, I develop a concept of female monstrosity manifested through categories of class, race and gender with the help of Judith Halberstams theories of monstrosity. Rather than treating these women as active characters, I argue that Lovecraft's inability to handle these monsters forces him to literally put them away – in attics, cellars, or boxes. These are the marginalized positions from which these women elaborate a monstrous form that transcends the boundaries of sex, gender, class and race. Here lurks a female monster, powerful, independent and evil, Lovecraft's treatment of which reveals his fear of its unfettered emergence. Thus Lovecraft’s narrative technique is broken by his own creation. Indeed, these women, in their reproductive capabilities and the monstrous motherhood they represent, are the true monsters of the Lovecraftian universe.
