This article examines the perception of threat in the creation of a discourse by the administration of President Ronald Reagan in relation to the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. It emphasizes the importance of a parallel with Cuba and the verifiable nature of Nicaraguan armed forces and concludes that, in order to construct its discourse, the Reagan administration made use of legitimate concerns that had previously been dismissed as fallacious by critics. / Graduate / 0336 / nburtonv@uvic.ca

The aim of this study is to examine the religious landscape of Brazil, and based on the theory of secularization by Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart to explain why Brazilians are religious and not secular. The study is a secondary analysis that uses existing statistics to examine different units of analysis of Brazil’s religious landscape, economics and equality, etc. Based on their theory I find that Brazil is still religious due to the lack of security in the country. Brazil is insecure in terms of measures of socioeconomic equality, stable politics without corruption, and physical safety of the citizens in Brazil. The theory of Norris and Inglehart is applicable to Brazil and the study shows that their theory is plausible.

El curso de este trabajo se concentra en el estudio y análisis del problema de la imagen en los escritos que el crítico chileno-alemán Ronald Kay desarrolló durante la década de los ochenta, sobre todo en dos textos fundamentales: Del espacio de acá y v.i.s.u.a.l.. Si bien esta noción no alcanza una definición precisa en los trabajos del autor1, nuestra hipótesis consiste en suponerle a ella una matriz de desciframiento de la historia de las artes visuales en el Chile de postdictadura y una crítica radical a la precedencia de cierta narrativa que la ha organizado. Crítica, podríamos resumir, a una historiografía de la representación comprendida bajo los conceptos de periodicidad y temporalidad causal
