This thesis attempts to record the progress of peace promoting projects by telling the story of the beginning, development, and operation of the Peace Movement, with special emphasis on the post war undertakings. It is written primarily for the junior high school student, with the hope that the information will provide a suitable basis for him to make his own deduction as to whether or not wars are necessary in settling international disputes. The method adopted is that of simple historical narration, beginning with ancient times and bringing it down to the present day. This broad approach is necessary so that the student may grasp the sweep and spirit of the movement.

Our work is a feminist biography of Gabrielle Duchene (1870-1954), feminist activist, unionist, pacifist, antifascist, fellow traveller of the French Communist Party and an innovator as a propagandist. She represents one of the few personalities of the interwar period to symbolize the ideological congruence of these movements and to have tried to find a solution, another way, to the clash of their contradictions. All along her engagement, Gabrielle Duchene will make non-conventional choices. The objective of our research is to analyze her atypical reactions in order to put the multi-marginalization process into context and to understand all the influences in the creation of her amalgamated pacifism. The term 'multi-marginalization' is employed to name the exclusion or mistrust toward Gabrielle Duchene, openly expressed or not, by more than one social or political group. These exclusions generally come from the non-conformist reactions of Gabrielle Duchene. The example of her support to the Feminist Pacifist Congress held at The Hague, in 1915, is revealing: her choice is rejected by the majority of the French bourgeois feminists. What Gabrielle Duchene proposes to transcend the divisions with is her amalgamated pacifism: the fusion of the feminist, pacifist, antifascist (procommunist) principles, allowing to reconcile the points of view and the different methods of action in a common goal. / One of the most important factors of Gabrielle Duchene's activism is the impact of the Russian experience and the communist control on her integral pacifism. From 1927 to 1931, she develops a tinged pacifism, characterized by a change of rhetoric, influenced by the manipulation mechanisms put into place by the communists. As of 1932, she takes part in the antifascist movement, controlled by the communists, without however abandoning her feminist pacifism. The analysis of the different periods of activism of Gabrielle Duchene allows us to consider women's activities, still largely unexplored, in antifascist and communist history, and to demonstrate the convergence between the antifascist and the feminist pacifist movements in the 1930s. Moreover, our research takes a 'gendered' perspective. We use gender as an analytical tool, and not as an analytical category, in order to understand our subject as a sexualized being, whose activist and social experiences are defined by the inequalities resulting from this differentiation.

It presents a comparative analysis of the peace processes of the governments of Andrés Pastrana (1998-2002) and Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2014). This research starts from the assumption that such movements are essential in the construction of peace, especially in the Colombian context, in which the conflict originated from social dissatisfaction. For this, the critical approach of Peace Studies will be used, turning to the idea of transformation or transcendence of conflicts, diverging from traditional institutional models. This choice provides spaces to think beyond the formal peace process and the signing of a document or agreement. The work will be structured in four sections. In the first one, the theoretical basis to be used will be formulated, seeking also to build a bias of Peace Studies. The second chapter will then present the recent history of the conflict, focusing on the dialogues conducted before 1998 and in the peace movements. The third topic will present the peace processes implemented in the governments of Pastrana and Santos, in an in-depth study, seeking to identify failures, the corrective actions, and the participation or not of the civil society. In the end of same topic, it will be make a comparison between the two periods in question, based on the variables raised in the previous chapter. Lastly, the conclusions and perspectives on peace-building in the post-agreement scenario will be presented. / O presente trabalho visa identificar o papel dos movimentos pela paz – e da sociedade civil – para transformação do conflito colombiano a partir de uma análise comparativa dos processos de paz dos governos Andrés Pastrana (1998-2002) e Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2014). Sendo assim, a presente pesquisa parte do pressuposto de que tais movimentos são essenciais no que se refere à construção da paz, ainda mais no contexto colombiano, no qual o conflito se originou a partir das insatisfações sociais. Para isso, será utilizada a abordagem crítica dos Estudos de Paz, que se voltam à ideia de transformação ou transcendência de conflitos, divergindo dos tradicionais modelos institucionais. Tal escolha proporciona espaços para pensar além do processo de paz formal e da assinatura de um documento ou acordo. O trabalho será estruturado em quatro momentos. No primeiro será formulada a base teórica a ser utilizada, buscando também construir um viés dos Estudos de Paz. Em seguida, no segundo capítulo será apresentado o histórico recente do conflito, com foco nos processos de paz realizados antes de 1998 e nos movimentos pela paz. No terceiro tópico serão apresentados os processos de paz realizados nos governos Pastrana e Santos, de maneira aprofundada, buscando identificar as falhas, os acertos e a participação ou não da sociedade civil, sendo possível realizar, finalmente, uma comparação entre os dois períodos em questão, tendo como base as variáveis levantadas no capítulo anterior. Por fim, serão apresentadas as conclusões e perspectivas em relação à construção da paz no cenário pós-acordo.

This study engaged in pushing the current political limitations created by the political impasse of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, by imagining new possibilities for radical political change, agency, and subjectivity for both the international activists volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement as well as Palestinians enduring the brutality of life under occupation. The role of the witness and testimony is brought to bear on activism and rhetoric the social movement ISM in Palestine. Approaches the past studies of the rhetoric of social movements arguing that rhetorical studies often disassociated 'social' from social movements, rendering invisible questions of the social and subjectivity from their frames for evaluation. Using the testimonies of these witnesses, Palestinians and activists, as the rhetorical production of the social movement, this study provides an effort to put the social body back into rhetorical studies of social movements. The relationships of subjectivity and desubjectification, as well as, possession of subjects by agency and the role of the witness with each of these is discussed in terms of Palestinian and activist potential for subjectification and desubjectifiation.
