La tesi analitza el grau de control polític a que foren sotmeses les institucions catalanes (Diputació del General i Consell de Cent de Barcelona), per part de la monarquia, després de la Guerra dels Segadors. Des del reial decret de 1654 fins l’any 1705 en que s’inicià la Guerra de Successió. L’estudi de les relacions entre les institucions catalanes i les reials al llarg del període esmentat focalitza l’esforç investigador i les principals aportacions de la tesis doctoral. Se centra especialment en els períodes de crisis polítiques i socials com la Revolta del Barretines (1689-1690) o la Guerra dels Nou Anys (1689-1697), i com van ser afrontades per les institucions catalanes, en el marc del complex panorama de guerra permanent amb França. / The thesis examines the degree of political control the catalan institutions were submited to (Diputació del General de Catalunya and Consell de Cent de Barcelona), by the monarchy, after the War of 1640-1652. From the royal decree of 1654 to year 1705 in which began The War of the Spanish Succession. The study of relations between catalan institutions and the royal ones over this period, focuses the research efforts and major contributions of the dissertation. It is especially based on the periods of political and social crises such as the Revolt of the Barretines (1689-1690) and the Nine Years War (1689-1697), and how the catalan institutions confronted them, as part of the complex and permanent scene of war with France.

Foram verificados os condicionantes políticos, históricos e sociais, e a gestão de políticas pública. Dentro desta análise, procurou-se desvendar a visão dos agentes envolvidos na concepção dos planos estratégicos instituídos nas duas cidades, observando o que sustentou ao longo do tempo os seus planejamentos e de que forma estes se configuraram. Para tal, utilizaram-se pesquisa documental, bibliográfica, conjuntamente com entrevistas em profundidade semi-estrutradas com agentes envolvidos diretamente na concepção dos planos estratégicos das duas cidades. A partir daí, geraram-se as categorias para a análise do material, que foi analisado por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Concluiu-se ao final que o condicionante que mais influenciou na adoção e na perpetuação do método de planificação em Barcelona foi o condicionante institucional, e no Rio de Janeiro foi o condicionante político.

Cette thèse analyse la fonction politique et identitaire du football en Espagne pendant le franquisme et la transition démocratique, en se focalisant particulièrement sur deux clubs : le Real Madrid et le FC Barcelone. L’un est considéré comme le meilleur ambassadeur de l’Espagne à l’étranger. L’autre, un instrument pour la mobilisation de l’opposition démocratique, et surtout un refuge pour les revendications de types identitaires à cette époque. Réaliser une étude sur le football peut sembler a priori ne pas s’inscrire dans une démarche scientifique. Pourtant, au-delà du sport et du divertissement, le football est un fait social, dont l’analyse est essentielle à la compréhension des sociétés contemporaines. Il mérite de ce fait une attention particulière, notamment lorsque l’on s’intéresse à l’histoire de l’Espagne, laquelle est extrêmement révélatrice des enjeux socioculturels et politiques que revêt le football dans ce pays / This thesis analyzes the political and social function of football in Francoist Spain and during the democratic transition, focusing particularly on two clubs: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. One is considered the best ambassador of Spain abroad. And the other is an instrument for the mobilization of the democratic opposition, and above all a hub for ethno-social identity related claims at that time. A study about football may at first seem to not to belong within the scientific approach. Yet, beyond sport and entertainment, football is a social phenomenon, the analysis of which is essential to the understanding of contemporary societies. It deserves attention, especially when one is interested in the history of Spain, which is extremely revealing of the socio-cultural and political stakes that football has in this country

O objetivo principal foi compreender a evolu??o geol?gica das rochas desse pl?ton, do ambiente de gera??o do magma at? o ambiente em que o mesmo foi alojado. O Pl?ton Gran?tico Barcelona (PGB) localiza-se na por??o oeste do Subdom?nio S?o Jos? do Campestre, por??o leste do Dom?nio Rio Grande do Norte na Prov?ncia Borborema, possui ?rea aflorante de aproximadamente 260 km2, com idade Ediacarana presumida. O PGB ? formado por tr?s f?cies petrogr?ficas/texturais distintas: (a) granito porfir?tico (biotita monzogranitos) dominante; (b) os diques e sheets de microgranitos (biotita granodioritos); e (c) rochas de composi??o m?fica a intermedi?ria (dior?ticas a quartzo-dior?ticas) que ocorrem essencialmente como enclaves. A f?cies granito porfir?tico possui plagiocl?sio (oligocl?sio com An25-20%), K-feldspato (microclina pert?tica) e quartzo compondo sempre mais de 70% modal. Biotita e anfib?lio s?o os minerais m?ficos dominantes, ep?doto, titanita, allanita, opacos, zirc?o e apatita, os acess?rios. As rochas do PGB possuem as seguintes estruturas: (i) uma trama magm?tica (Smag) dominante com dire??o NE-SW e NW-SE, acompanhado por uma linea??o magm?tica (Lmag) mergulhando suavemente para NE-SW e NW-SE, principalmente. Na por??o sul do PGB, destaca-se padr?o conc?ntrico desta folia??o com caimento m?dio a alto, e (ii) a folia??o de estado s?lido (S3+) possui aspecto milonitizado, localizada principalmente na borda leste do corpo gran?tico, com dire??o NE-SW e caimento suave a moderado para W. A sugest?o do modelo de alojamento das rochas do PGB foi baseada na combina??o do estudo das medidas estruturais de afloramentos e em dados gravim?tricos. O alojamento desse corpo gran?tico ? controlado por sistemas de zonas de cisalhamento transcorrentes, denominadas de ZCLP (Zona de Cisalhamento Lajes Pintadas) e ZCSN (Zona de Cisalhamento S?tio Novo) ambas de cinem?tica dextr?gira e deforma??o em regime transcorrente com a segunda estando relacionada a ascen??o do mesmo. A qu?mica mineral mostra que os anfib?lios da f?cies porfir?tico ? a hastingsita com moderadas raz?es Mg/(Mg+Fe), indicando forma??o em ambiente com moderada a elevada ?O2 e press?es de cristaliza??o da ordem de 5,0-6,0kbar. As biotitas possuem composi??o com leve tend?ncia para o p?lo da annita (Fe), mostram um trend que partem do campo das biotitas prim?rias para o das biotitas prim?rias reequilibradas. Em diagramas discriminantes de s?ries magm?ticas as biotitas se comportam como ?quelas de afinidade subalcalina, coerentes com a afinidade geoqu?mica c?lcio-alcalina pot?ssica/subalcalina da rocha hospedeira (granitos porfir?ticos). Os minerais opacos s?o essencialmente magnetitas, com alguns cristais martitizados para hematita, indicando condi??es relativamente oxidantes durante a evolu??o do magma que originou o PGB. Zona??o em cristais de plagiocl?sio, K-feldspato e allanita, s?o indicativos que o processo de cristaliza??o fracionada. A litogeoqu?mica mostra que as f?cies granito porfir?tico e microgranito plotam na maioria dos diagramas de campo e trend como rochas com afinidades transicionais entre subalcalina e c?lcio-alcalina de alto K, e quanto ao ?ndice de satura??o em alum?nio est?o entre os campos meta a peraluminoso. Os dados de litogeoqu?mica sugerem que as f?cies do PGB estudados tenham uma fonte magm?tica similar, mas com hist?rias evolutivas diferentes (co-magm?ticos). / The Dissertation aimed to advance the geological knowledge of the Barcelona Granitic Pluton (BGP). This body is located in the eastern portion of the Rio Grande do Norte Domain (RND), within the S?o Jos? do Campestre subdomain (SJC), NE of the Borborema Province. The main goal was to understand the geological evolution of the rocks of the pluton and the tectonic setting of magma generation and its emplacement. The BGP has an assumed Ediacaran age and outcropping area of approximately 260 km2, being composed of three varied petrographic/textural facies: (a) porphyritic biotite monzogranite; (b) dykes and sheets of biotite microgranite; (c) dioritic to quartz-dioritic enclaves. The rocks of the BGP have the following structures: (i) a NE-SW and NW-SE directed magmatic fabric (S?), accompanied by a magmatic lineation (L?) with gentle dip to NE-SW and NW-SE. In the southern portion, there is the concentric pattern of this foliation with medium to high dip, and (ii) a solid state foliation, in part mylonitic (S3+), mainly on the eastern edge with slightly plunging to west. The integration of structural and gravity data permitted to interpret the emplacement of the BGP as controlled by the transcurrent shear zones systems Lajes Pintadas (LPSZ) and S?tio Novo (SNSZ), both of dextral strike-slip kinematics. Mineral chemistry data show that the amphibole form the porphyritic biotite monzogranite facies is hastingsite with moderate Mg / (Mg + Fe) ratios, indicating crystallization under moderate to high ?O2 and cristallization pressure of around 5.0-6.0 kbar. The biotite tends to be slightly richer in annite molecule and plots in the transitional field from primary biotite to reequilibrated biotite. In discriminant diagrams of magmatic series, the biotite behave like those of subalkaline affinity, consistent with the potassium calc-alkaline / sub-alkaline geochemical affinity of the hosting rock. The opaque minerals are primarily magnetite, with some crystals martitized to hematite indicating relatively oxidizing conditions during magma evolution that originated the BGP. Zoning in plagioclase, K-feldspar and allanite crystals suggest fractional crystallization process. Lithogeochemical data suggest that the facies described for the BGP have similar magma source, usually plotting in the fields and trends of the subalkaline / high potassium calc-alkaline series.

The purpose with this essay was to examine how the European Union is working to transfer norms to states they signed an agreement with and provide support for in frame of the Barcelona process and the Tacis programme. The theory which we used was Ian Manners (PhD in Political Science) theory of "the EU as a unique normative power". The aim was to examine whether the EU - which Manners mean - has had a normative power to influence states to change. We used a qualitative approach through the use of a multiple case study and qualitative text and content analysis. The States which formed the basis of our study were within the Barcelona Process; Morocco and Tunisia as well as Azerbaijan and Armenia funded by the Tacis programme. To this end, we were to answer the following questions: Can we identify transfer of norms in the written bilateral agreements with these states, and are there any normative demands? Can we on the basis of our study answer whether the EU holds a normative power to influence these countries to change, in accordance with the normative theory? The agreements that we studied was the bilateral agreements that the EU signed with these States. In order to make Manners five norms (peace, freedom, democracy, rule of law and human rights), which he argues that EU is based on measurable; we used the Freedom House freedom index, and also by a historical study the development of the country. The results we found were the following; in all the studied bilateral agreements we found clear - but to varying degrees - the transfer of norms. Although it differs in degree of regulatory requirements and also in the formulation of how the country is committed to abide by and comply with the normative requirements differ according to the agreements, we can find the so-called "carrot and stick relationship" that Manners believes that the EU use in the transfer of norms. Three of the states that we investigated under the Freedom House freedom index did not developed in a democratic way did, and the positive steps taken cannot be directly traced back to the EU's efforts. It may also be due to other States or other forces influence. We can’t, through our study confirm that Manners is right in these states but we can’t either rule out the possibility that the EU through the written agreements has changed the norms of the state in question, although progress seems to go very slowly.

Abstract The thesis investigates how the European Union promotes stability and security in the Mediterranean region. The aim is to analyse the European Union’s security ambitions with Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, the Barcelona Process. An analytical framework with five sectors (military, political, economic, environmental and societal), based on the Copenhagen School’s theories about security sectors and securitization, is used for the analysis. Within the framework threats, objectives and methods are categorized into each security sector. Then it is possible to distinguish if any sector is more prioritised by the EU. Qualitative text analysis is used to examine relevant EU-documents. The result of the analysis shows that the European Union prioritizes the economical and societal sector in promoting peace and security within the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. Through economical integration and cultural dialogue, the EU tries to enhance security and stability. The EU emphasises the importance of global governance and international law for a stable peace. The study concludes that the widened concept of security, within the Copenhagen School, can help to explain the European Union’s work inside the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership.

The main purpose of this essay is to examine the narrative function of the city in the films of Woody Allen. This was achieved through a narrative and comparative analysis of four of his city films: Manhattan (1979), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Midnight in Paris (2011) and To Rome with Love (2012). The results of this examination show that the city has a variety of narrative functions throughout the films. The city provides a natural environment that enables character meetings. Living in the city can be so sought after, that the city itself becomes an important goal for the protagonist. Portraying the city is often an essential part of a reflexive narrative. The city is utilized for this and more in the films of Woody Allen.

Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur le chapitre cathédral de Barcelone et ses membres à la fin du XVe siècle. L'étude d'un tel établissement permet d'observer un acteur urbain majeur : le haut clergé séculier d’une cité tardo-médiévale. Au-delà de leurs attributions religieuses, évêques et chanoines se révèlent étroitement impliqués dans la destinée de la cité. Leurs fonctions leur octroient des terres, ce qui fait d'eux d'importants seigneurs fonciers dans la ville et ses abords. Le canonicat leur donne accès au « bras ecclésiastique » des institutions politiques de la Couronne d’Aragon telles que la Diputació del General et les Corts. Enfin, leurs origines sociales les insèrent dans les réseaux de relations personnelles qui structurent l'oligarchie urbaine : ils font pleinement partie de l'élite dirigeante barcelonaise tout en y occupant une place bien spécifique, du fait de leur appartenance à l’Église. Cette situation particulière les place à la jonction de réseaux de pouvoir, quelquefois antagonistes et quelquefois alliés : ceux de l’Église, ceux de l’élite politique municipale, ceux des groupes familiaux constituant l’oligarchie. Au sortir de la guerre civile catalane de 1462-1472, Barcelone, principale ville de Catalogne, connaît de profondes transformations socio-politiques, avec la formalisation du patriciat par l’établissement d’une « matricule », l’accès de la noblesse au gouvernement municipal et les opérations de redressement économique de la cité après les difficultés de la guerre. L’étude montre que le chapitre cathédral, pleinement intégré à l’élite dirigeante de la ville, est amené à jouer un rôle réel dans la vie publique de la cité en pleine mutation. / This PhD thesis analyses the cathedral chapter of Barcelona and its members at the end of the 15th century. This institution proves to be a major urban actor. Beyond their religious powers, bishops and canons proved to be closely involved in the history of Barcelona. Their functions grant them lands, which turn them into important landlords in the city and its surroundings. The canonicate gives them access to the "ecclesiastical arm" of the Crown of Aragon’s political institutions such as the Diputació del General de Catalunya and the Corts. Their social origins integrate them into the networks of personal relations that structure the urban oligarchy: they are fully part of the ruling elite of Barcelona and they occupy a very specific place there, because of their belonging to the Church. This situation places them at the junction of power networks, sometimes antagonistic and sometimes allied: those of the Church, those of the municipal political elite, and those of the family groups constituting the oligarchy. At the end of the Catalan Civil War of 1462-1472, Barcelona, main city of Catalonia, undergoes profound socio-political transformations: an official list of the patricians is established, the municipal government opens to the nobility and undertakes several economic recovery measures after the disturbances caused by the war. The study shows that the cathedral chapter, fully integrated with the ruling elite of the city, has to play a real role in the public life of the city during this period.

During the last few years cities are taking the lead against climate change. Theyare aware of the big contribution they can make to mitigate the climate change, so theyare working actively in this field. This thesis’ aim is to study what cities are doing andthe chance they have to be successful. The cities selected for this thesis were Madrid,Barcelona, London, Manchester an Dublin. The method followed to active the aim wasto read all the information available from the selected cities’ Councils about themeasures they are carrying out. Then, transform that information to a way that all thecities’ information can be compared. As a result, it can be seen that there are fewdifferences in their lines of action,excluding some punctual facts. All the cities areworking actively to reduce transport sector’s emissions, to improve the energy use athomes and to increase the importance of the renewable energies. Spanish cities’emissions reduction targets are still not ambitious enough, while London’s are the mostambitious among the studied cities. As a conclusion, it can be said that cities shouldwork together to face the challenge of climate change, because there’s still much to do,targets have to be more ambitious and measures stricter. / Estos últimos años las ciudades están tomando la iniciativa en contra del cambioclimático. Son conscientes de las grandes oportunidades que tienen para mitigarlo, asíque están trabajando activamente en este sentido. El propósito de esta tesis es estudiar loque están haciendo las ciudades para mitigar el cambio climático y las oportunidadesque tienen de tener éxito. Las ciudades seleccionadas para este estudio son Madrid,Barcelona, Londres, Manchester y Dublín. El método para conseguir el propósito fueleer toda la información disponible por parte de los ayuntamientos de las distintasciudades acerca de las medidas que están llevando a cabo. A continuación transformaresa información a unos parámetros comunes a todas las ciudades y compararla. Comoresultado se observa que hay muy pocas diferencias en sus líneas de acción, con algunaexcepción puntual. Todas las ciudades están trabajando activamente para reducir lasemisiones del sector transporte, mejorar el aprovechamiento energético doméstico ypara aumentar la proporción de energías renovables. Las ciudades Españolas todavía notienen objetivos de reducción de emissiones suficientemente ambiciosos, al contrarioque Londres. Como conclusión, las ciudades deberían trabajar unidas en contra delcambio climático, porque todavía queda mucho por conseguir, los objetivos deben sermás abiciosos y las medidas más estrictas. / <p>www.ima.kth.se</p>

The proposal for place like the district of Poblenou is a great adventure. The blocks of the famous urban Plan Cerda closest inside in itself dramatic history of old industrial era, when they have called Barcelona " The Manchester Of Catalunya ". And here I ask myself the question. What does the word landscape in this environment? How to apply to old buildings and chimneys of the idea of the archetype of landscape? Is it just those elements that had nurtured almost all Catalunya? They can be roof now abandoned industrial buildings become something else? The new facade?A Sea? A Landscape ?
