In recent years climate change has been featured much more prominently in scholarly and public discourse. Especially since 2003 and 2007 the focus has shifted towards the security implications of climate change and the necessary measures to deal with climate change. The discourse commonly portrays climate change as a threat that substantially affects national and human security. Using frameworks of the Copenhagen School and Paris School, as well as discourse analysis, this thesis shows that climate change as a security issue is mainly understood in human security terms and seen to exacerbate already existing problems, such as poverty and food insecurity. The social and discursive construction of climate change as a security issue has influenced the policies and practices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as well as the United Nations Development Programme, as it has become a central element of their work. It is argued that the Paris School’s climatization framework has more analytical value for the security analysis of climate change than the Copenhagen School’s securitization theory.

Essa análise pressupõe uma reflexão sobre a recepção crítica em torno da obra da artista, desde a primeira apresentação ao público brasileiro, até a exposição individual realizada em 1929, que apresentou um panorama geral de sua produção artística. Considerando que a relevância de Anita Malfatti na história da arte brasileira está pontuada entre 1917 e a Semana de Arte Moderna, procuramos abordar as obras realizadas durante o estágio em Paris, entre 1923 e 1928, analisando o diálogo dessa produção com algumas discussões em pauta nesses anos: a relação com a Europa, o nacionalismo, o debate entre tendências mais radicais ou mais moderadas no contexto da arte moderna / Abstract: This study focuses on the artistic activity of Anita Malfatti in the 1920s. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the relevance of her works in the modern art debate of the period, and the subsequent impact of this debate in the Modernism studies in Brazil. This analysis implies an understanding of the art criticism around her work, from the first presentation to the Brazilian public, until the exhibition held in 1929, which presented an overview of her artistic production. Whereas the relevance of Anita Malfatti in Brazilian art history is mostly discussed from 1917 to the exhibition of the Modern Art Week, this study deals with the paintings produced in Paris, between 1923 and 1928, by reflecting about their relations with modern art in Europe, nationalism in Brazil, and the debate between tradition and advanced art tendencies in the context of modern art / Doutorado / Artes Visuais / Doutora em Artes

Abstract, Ancrene Wisse, "Guide for Anchoresses" A Czech Translation (2015) Klára Petříková Ancrene Wisse (Guide for Anchoresses) is a remarkable work of the Middle English literature dating back to the first half of the 13th century. Its author (presumably a Dominican) conceived it as "spiritual life guidelines" for three sisters of a noble origin who decided to renounce the world. Besides its didactic purpose, its character is meditative and contemplative. Riveting in its style, its rich metaphors and heightened sensibility link it with the later tradition of the English mystical writers (Julian of Norwich), The work abounds in quotations, paraphrases of the continental monastic authors (St. Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux). Surviving in seventeen manuscripts, it had been quoted till the Renaissance and its importance is further confirmed by a contemporaneous translation into Latin and French. Present translation aims to introduce this work to the Czech readers and to put it in its historical, social and literary context.
