O objetivo de nossa pesquisa, portanto, é analisar como os Estados Unidos conseguiram essas bases, a importância delas para a defesa do canal do Panamá e como elas se relacionaram com a política externa dos Estados Unidos para o Caribe estabelecida pelos presidentes William McKinley e Theodore Roosevelt. / After the 1898 Spanish-American War, the United States established naval bases in Cuba and Porto Rico, and started to build an interoceanic canal in Panama. The purpose of this research is, therefore, to analyze how the United States obtained these bases, their importance to the defense of the Panama Canal and how they connected with the American foreign policy for the Caribbean set up by presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.

Ele tematiza a transformação da escritora de “camaleão cultural” em “dragão transcultural”. O estudo inclui, ainda, considerações sobre o gênero memorialístico e o imbricamento das línguas inglesa e espanhola presente no livro, além de realizar uma análise da pertinência da mistura de textos narrativos e poemas que se constata no livro. / This thesis proposes a reading of Silent dancing:a partial remembrance of a Puerto Rican childhood, by Judith Ortiz Cofer, and aims at investigating the process of its narrator’s identity, a bicultural subject shuttling between Puerto Rico and the United States of America, which develops into a transcultural identity. Besides examining the narrator’s transformation from a “cultural chameleon” into a “transcultural dragon”, the research analyzes its autobiographical aspect, the overlapping of the English and Spanish languages and also the mixture of narratives and poems present in the book.

Cette thèse se propose de définir les temps caractéristiques des processus d’altération à l'échelle de profil d'altération (bassin versant de Rio Icacos à Porto Rico) et de transfert sédimentaire subséquent dans les plaines alluviales (bassins du Gange et du Brahmapoutre). Cette problématique est abordée par l’analyse des nucléides des séries de désintégration radioactives de l’uranium-238. L’étude du système d’altération sphéroïdale développée sur le site de Porto Rico a permis de développer une méthode numérique de type quasi-Newton afin de résoudre le système d'équations qui rend compte du comportement des nucléides et du taux de formation de la saprolite et des couronnes d’altération.Pour les bassins du Gange et du Brahmapoutre, les sédiments ont été collectés sur différents affluents et à son exutoire. La variation des déséquilibres 238U-234U-230Th dans les sédiments, différente pour les sédiments en suspension et les sédiments à grains grossiers d’amont en aval, semble être une caractéristique générale des rivières himalayennes coulant dans la plaine Indo-gangétique. Par ce travail de thèse, nous avons montré l’utilité d’inclure l’analyse du 226Ra à l’analyse des autres nucléides de la chaîne de décroissance radioactive de l’238U (l’238U -234U-230Th 230Th) pour déterminer un taux d’altération dans un système bien défini. Néanmoins, l’étude du système du Brahmapoutre montre que la méthode proposée demande à être affinée car le transfert sédimentaire est un processus plus complexe dû à la variabilité minéralogique, granulométrique et à la dynamique sédimentaire (locale) des échantillons récoltés. / This thesis proposes to define the time-scales of weathering processes on a spheroidal weathering profile, (Rio Icacos watershed, Puerto Rico ) and the transfer time of sediments within alluvial plains (Ganges and Brahmaputra basins). This issue is addressed through the analysis of the nuclides of the 238U decay chain. The study of a spheroidal weathering system developed on the site of Puerto Rico permit to develop a limited memory quasi-Newton algorithm in order to solve the system of equations that reflects the behavior of nuclides and the rate of formation of the saprolite and the rindlet zone. For the Ganges and Brahmaputra basins, sediments were collected from different tributaries and their outlets. The variation of 238U - 234U - 230Th disequilibria in the sediments, with different variation trends for suspended and coarse-grained sediments, is probably a general feature of all Himalayan rivers flowing across the Indo-Gangetic plain. For this work, we have shown the usefulness of including the analysis of 226Ra analysis of other nuclides in the chain of radioactive decay of 238U (238U - 234U - 230Th) to determine the weathering rate in a well-defined system. Nevertheless, the study of the Brahmaputra system shows that proposed method needs to be refined as the sediment transfer is a complex process due to the mineralogical variability, size and (local) dynamics of sediments samples collected.

Nesse contexto,onde a manifestação se tornou, dentre outras coisas, atração turística percebemos que,categorias como religiosidade, tradição e mesmo africanidadese tornaram valores presentes nos grupos, valores que,de certa forma lhes conferem autenticidade. Apesar da recorrência desses valores, o modo como cada grupo articula com eles é muito diverso, criando uma série de particularidades e contribuindo para a construção de suas identidades. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender o processo de construção de identidade dos maracatuzeiros da Nação do Maracatu Porto Rico, uma das nações com maior visibilidade na cidade do Recife e arredores. Deste modo, buscaremos tal compreensão através do estudo dos rituais e simbolismo articulados dentro do grupo, que tem como característica marcante a forte vivência religiosa, que muitas vezes dá sustentação as suas escolhas e atitudes, como também do estudo da narrativa de origem do grupo, que pode ser compreendida como sendo um mito, sendo concretizado por meio de celebrações, loas e discursos proferidos pelas lideranças e pelos demais maracatuzeiros da nação. / In the last decade, especiallyin the beginning of the 21stcentury, it has been observed a raiseof spaces and visibility of the “maracatus-nação” from Pernambuco, not only in such state,but also in otherparts of Brazil. In this context, where the manifestation has become, among several things, a tourist attraction, we have noticed that, categories such as religion, tradition and evenafricanity have become recurrentvalues in the groups, values that, in a way, gives them authenticity. Despite the recurrenceof such values, the way each group operateswith them is diverse, creating a series of particular aspects,and contributing to the construction of their identities. The present research has as an objective, the comprehension of the identity construction process of the members from “Nação do Maracatu Porto Rico”, one of the most famous maracatus-naçãoin Recife. In order to reach this objective, we intend to analyzethe rituals and their symbolism operated by the group, which has the religiosity as a strong feature thatmost times holds its choices and attitudes. The research will also analyzethe groups origin narrative, which can also be understood as a myth, been reaffirmed on celebrations, songs anddiscourses made by the liderances and other members of the Nação do Maracatu Porto Rico.
