In 1974, after forty years of negotiations over the disputed sovereignty of the Al-Ain/Buraimi region, Zararah/Shaybah, and Khor al-Udaid, the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE signed the Treaty of Jeddah, apparently ending the dispute. But the dispute was not settled as far at the UAE was concerned, owing to discrepancies between the oral agreement before the Treaty’s signing and the final text of the Treaty itself. The UAE government did not notice this discrepancy until 1975, likely due to the absence of lawyers, technicians, and geographers on its negotiation team. The UAE has attempted to bring Saudi Arabia back to the negotiating table ever since. In 2004, thirty years after the Treaty was signed, the UAE launched a public diplomatic campaign to persuade Saudi Arabia to revisit parts of the Treaty, especially the question of the Zararah/Shaybah oil and gas field. The public campaign has had a detrimental affect on UAE-Saudi relations and the border dispute remains unresolved to this day. This thesis seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the Treaty of Jeddah by examining the negotiations that led to its signing on 21 August 1974, focusing on the period of 1970-74, about which relatively little has been written. It explains the process of negotiations, the context in which they took place, the role and influence of Britain (as Abu Dhabi’s protecting power up to 1971), why Abu Dhabi signed a treaty it quickly came to regret, the resulting aftermath, and how the UAE might yet obtain the Treaty’s revision. This thesis argues that Britain, as Abu Dhabi’s protecting power, played different roles through the negotiation process, and that Britain did not always negotiate in Abu Dhabi’s interests –– particularly during the final years of British protection (1968-71), when it increasingly advised Abu Dhabi to compromise. It shows how Abu Dhabi’s position weakened substantially after the withdrawal of British protection in 1971, while Saudi Arabia’s position was strengthened considerably by the US government’s Twin Pillar policy. It argues that Saudi Arabia maintained an inflexible position during 1970-74, when it adopted a ‘controlled negotiating strategy’ with aggressive tactics (including the threat of military intervention) designed to force Abu Dhabi into a corner, giving it no choice but to sign the Treaty. This approach allowed for a ‘win-lose’ outcome only. Indeed, there were no ‘negotiations’ as such –– the huge differences in power between Saudi Arabia and the UAE enabled the former to more or less impose a settlement on the latter. Finally, this thesis argues that the UAE’s claim to Khor al-Udaid, which is the most visible aspect of the dispute since it can be clearly shown on maps, is not in fact the most important issue for the UAE –– it is the oil and gas sharing arrangements in for Zararah/Shaybah oil field, due to their huge economic implications.

Este estudo trata da conquista e da formação territorial e o estabelecimento de limites internacionais do sul do Brasil. Nas fases desses processos mostra-se a conexão da ocupação territorial com as ações geopolíticas promovidas pelos luso-brasileiros. São analisados os tratados entre Portugal e Espanha, assim como o papel desenvolvido pelos bandeirantes, tropeiros, imigrantes, estancieiros, contrabandistas, gaúchos e outros atores na exploração e ocupação do território, cada um em seu momento histórico. Razões econômicas e ações militares integradas à iniciativas públicas e privadas serviram aos objetivos geopolíticos fundamentais a expansão e organização do espaço do sul do Brasil. É demonstrado neste estudo que todas as ações emanadas pelos luso-brasileiros no cenário do sul do Brasil foram de cunho geopolítico, envolvendo todos os atores citados acima que de uma forma ou de outra, atuaram na construção desse território. / This study treaties about the formation, territorial conquest and establishment of international limits in southern Brazil. During this procedure is revealed the connection between territorial occupation and the geopolitical moves promoted by Portuguese-Brazilians. These treaties between Portugal and Spain are analyzed, as well as the role developed by "bandeirantes", "tropeiros", immigrants, estancieiros, smugglers, gauchos and other actors in the exploration and occupation of territory, each one in their historical moment. Economic reasons and military actions integrated to public and private initiatives served as important geopolitical objectives that were fundamental to the expansion and space's organization of southern Brazil. It is shown in this study that all the actions by Portuguese-Brazilians in the southern Brazil's scenario are explained by geopolitical ideas, always involving all the actors mentioned above that, in one way or another, worked in the construction of this territory.

Ao longo de mais de 50 anos Chandler e Furtado pesquisaram sobre o mesmo objeto, mas a partir de diferentes perspectivas. Contudo, defendemos que suas pesquisas são partes inseparáveis de um mesmo fenômeno, da mesma maneira que modernidade e colonialidade são, e que é necessário a descolonialidade para promover o encontro a que se propõe fazer este trabalho. Chandler defendia nos anos 60 que a grande corporação, liderada pelos gestores, era o grande motor do capitalismo americano; enquanto que no Sul, Furtado argumentava que o estado, através de planejamento e investimento, deveria liderar a saída do Brasil da condição de subdesenvolvimento, a qual lhe fora imposta principalmente pelo Norte. A crise atual da hegemonia americana sugere que devemos recuperar os argumentos de Furtado e discutir a difusão assimétrica do conhecimento e das instituições em administração na América Latina durante o período da Guerra Fria. Neste trabalho propomos uma estrutura com três níveis de análise para reavaliar este (des)encontro entre Chandler-Furtado através de perspectivas independentes: a grande narrativa da Guerra Fria, o conhecimento subalterno e a identidade nacional. Nosso objetivo é promover um mundo multipolar através dos campos da administração e gestão estratégica.

The target text narrates the meeting of Glauce, (the young one), Medea (the woman) and the love of Medea (the old one), three women "in a sort of desert outside of time and space" according to the words of the author. Punctuating the speech of these women, the voice of Corifeu is perceived, often in the dark. Thus, we propose a critical reflection, turning our gaze to the protagonists of this poetic work, whose speeches are characterized by the following questions: "What is my place in exile? Do I belong to the exile ? "Such questions reinforce a longstanding demand of women, not only in Athens, but in many other places, especially the foreign ones. In order to understand these banks and the reason why there are so many crossings, many of them forced, we choose exile as a theme, considering it a object of interest not only of the Classics, but also of the cultural studies, for example. Our aim is to show, comparatively, how the so called "dialogue" between Euripides and Clara Garcia is constructed, trying also to discover another reading for the Medea myth, parallel or beyond the metaphor itself, concerning especially the heroin journeys. As pointed out by Jan Felix Gaertner, one of the authors that support our research, exile "has been one of the most productive literary themes in the literature of the twentieth century" (2007, p. 1) and has become a central theme in postcolonial literature or in association with another themes related to distance, separation, displacement, detachment and diaspora. Our hypothesis is to recognize the exile as a device, as Agamben would define (2009) – a key technical term in Foucault's thinking strategy, - not only a political device but also an existential one. All of this analysis, according to Medea, of Euripides, who immortalized her as an infanticide, but not without questioning her status as a foreign woman. In order to study this condition, we support ourselves especially in the works of Pierre Vidal - Naquet (1999) and Vernant (2009), Queiroz (1998) and Jasinski (2012). The following studies don’t seem to contradict our hypothesis, given their hybridization aspect: Sara Forsdyke (2005) and Gayatri C. Spivak (2014). The theoretical syllabus about the theater - from Greek tragedy to the contemporary scene – is based on the following works: Albin Lesky, Jacqueline Rommily, Marie - Claude Hubert and Patrice Pavis (2011). / A presente dissertação analisa o texto de Clara de Góes, Medea en Promenade (2012), a partir da tragédia homônima de Eurípedes, Medeia, (431 a.C.). O texto de chegada narra o encontro de Glauce, (Jovem), Medeia (Mulher) e a ama de Medeia (Velha), três mulheres “em uma espécie de deserto fora do tempo e do espaço”, nas palavras da autora. Pontuando a fala dessas mulheres, ouvimos a voz do Corifeu, quase sempre à penumbra. Propomos, assim, uma reflexão crítica, voltando nosso olhar para as protagonistas dessas poéticas, cujas falas são marcadas por questionamentos: “Qual meu lugar no exílio? Seria o exílio meu lugar?” Tais perguntas reforçam uma antiga reivindicação das mulheres, não só de Atenas, mas de muitos outros lugares, especialmente as estrangeiras. Foi buscando entender essas margens e o porquê de tantas travessias, muitas delas forçadas, que elegemos o tema do exílio, haja vista constituir objeto de interesse não só dos Estudos Clássicos, mas também dos Estudos Culturais, por exemplo. Nosso intuito é mostrar como ocorre o que ora chamamos “diálogo” entre Eurípides e Clara de Góes, numa perspectiva comparada, buscando imprimir outra leitura para o mito de Medeia, paralela ou além da metáfora, especialmente voltada para os constantes deslocamentos da heroína. Como salienta Jan Felix Gaertner, um dos autores que fundamentam nossa pesquisa, o exílio “tem sido um dos temas literários mais produtivos em literatura do século XX” (2007, p. 1) e tornou-se um tema central na literatura pós-colonial em associação a temas relacionados a distância, separação, deslocamento, desprendimento e diáspora. Nossa hipótese é reconhecer ou ler o exílio como dispositivo, conforme Agamben (2009) – termo técnico decisivo na estratégia do pensamento de Foucault, do qual foi tomado de “empréstimo” – não só político, mas também existencial, a partir da Medeia, de Eurípides, que a imortalizou como infanticida, não sem antes problematizar seu status de mulher estrangeira. A respeito dessa condição, apoiamo-nos, especialmente, em Pierre Vidal-Naquet (1999) e Vernant (2009), Queiroz (1998) e Jasinski (2012). A fim de confirmar, em parte, nossa hipótese, dado o hibridismo da análise, apoiamo-nos em Sara Forsdyke (2005) e Gayatri C. Spivak (2014). Como aporte teórico do teatro – da tragédia grega à cena contemporânea –, Albin Lesky (2010), Jacqueline de Romilly (2013), Marie-Claude Hubert (2013) e Patrice Pavis (2011).

Occidentalism in Russian Travel Literature in the 18th Century: Example of Nikolaj Mihailovič Karamzin Summary The purpose of this research is to explore how the national and cultural identity of Russia was constructed in the eighteenth century through the vehicle of travel writing. At the heart of this research is a close analysis of the travels of the Russian author Nikolaj Karamzin to the Western Europe. Karamzin's Letters of a Russian Traveller is a travelogue in the form of memoir in epistolary arrangement based on his travels through the states of Germany, Switzerland, France and England in 1789-1790. The era and the author chosen are justified by the graveness that the eighteenth century has for the history of the Russian literature. An era of major transformations in all social and cultural aspects of the till-then known Russian lifestyle set the ground for a move towards modernity. By travelling to the Western Europe and displaying the values and rich greatness of some aspects of the cultural, political and social lives, Karamzin proposes a set of alternative national ideals. These ideals would assist the country and the nation to get closer to the standards of the Western traditions and subsequently closer to 'paradise' and the 'perfect' life. As a contextual backup for the analysis of Karamzin's...

La politique commune d'immigration et d'asile de l'UE possède comme objectif l'harmonisation des politiques nationales des Etats membres. Toutefois, suite aux nombreux aménagements imposés par ces derniers, elle bute toujours sur les diverses modalités d'application de la gestion commune des frontières et les différents droits attribués aux ressortissants de pays tiers. Un tel contexte de diversité a un impact sur le statut de ces derniers en ce que la protection de leurs droits fondamentaux apparaît secondaire au regard des inquiétudes des Etats membres de conserver leur maîtrise dans le domaine de l'entrée, du séjour et de la sortie des étrangers sur leur territoire. Pou1tant, il est à souligner qu'il ne s'agit que des premiers jalons de la politique migratoire commune de l'UE. Malgré leur manque d'efficacité dû aux clauses optionnelles et dérogatoires, les premières normes européennes adoptées forment indéniablement une base à approfondir en la matière pour les Etats membres. Aujourd'hui, en prenant davantage en compte de la situation vulnérable des ressortissants de pays tiers dans l'Union européenne, les nouveaux textes législatifs, adoptés conformément à la procédure de codécision, ainsi que les décisions prises par la Cour de justice qui, voyant sa compétence étendue en matière migratoire, vient interpréter des clauses ambiguës, procurent un brin d'optimisme aux ressortissants de pays tiers. Finalement, il reste certes certains points à approfondir et certains aspects à améliorer, mais ces nouveaux changements constituent une preuve importante de la volonté de l'UE de trouver un équilibre entre les intérêts étatiques et ceux des ressortissants de pays tiers. / The EU's common policy on immigration and asylum aims to harmonise the national policies of its Member States. Nonetheless, following numerous adjustments imposed by the Member States, this common policy still stumbles on the diverse modalities of application in the joint borders management and the different rights attributed to the third country nationals. Such context of diversity bas an impact on the status of the third country nationals in the way that the protection of theirs fundamental rights appears secondary to the Member States concerns to maintain their control in the area of the entry, stay and exit of the strangers on their territory. However, it should be pointed that this is only the first milestone of the EU's common migratory policy. Despite their lack of efficacy due to optional and derogatory clauses, the first adopted European norms form undeniably a basis for the Member States to further deepen in this field. Nowadays, taking more into account the vulnerable situation of the third-country nationals in the EU, the new legislative texts, adopted according to the codecision procedure, as well as the decisions taken by the Court of justice which, seeing its jurisdiction extended in the migratory field, has interpreted some ambiguous clauses, give a strand of optimism to third-country nationals. Finally, there are certainly still some issues to deepen and some aspects to improve but these new changes constitute an important proof of the willingness of the EU to establish a balance between State interests and those of third-country nationals.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / A "reconstrução nacional" de Angola impressiona pela magnitude de seus empreendimentos visíveis. Esta Tese trata de travessias conduzidas por diferentes atores sociais "através" e "apesar" da "reconstrução nacional". A partir de micronarrativas de algumas pessoas que compõem a "Angola" contemporânea e que, em algum momento, foram minhas interlocutoras, sigo por caminhos que operam como chaves interpretativas para traçar os sentidos e os significados do pós-guerra no país. Para transitar "através da reconstrução nacional" é necessário ser re-conhecido, não apenas por políticas repressivas e de gestão de populações, mas também como sujeito de direitos. Aqueles que não obtiveram este re-conhecimento agenciam as brechas existentes em seus campos de possibilidades, "apesar da reconstrução nacional". Entre arranjos circunstanciais e (não) re-conhecimentos alguns ocupam, situacionalmente, a condição de borderlander. E "através" e "apesar" pessoas constroem suas vidas enquanto a nação se reconstrói. / Angola's national reconstruction is impressive because of its visible achievements' magnitude. This Thesis is about the trajectories of different social actors through and in spite of the "national reconstruction. Analyzing the micro narratives from some people belonging to contemporary "Angola" that were, at some point , my interlocutors, I follow the paths which operate as interpretive keys to the meanings of post-war in that country. Transitioning through national reconstruction " is a requirement for people to be known and acknowledged, not only by the repressive policies and the management of populations, but also as subjects of rights. Those who are not recognized have to manage the existing gaps in their fields of possibilities, in spite of the national reconstruction ". Among circumstantial arrangements and (the absence of) acknowledgment, some of them occupy, situationedly, the "borderlander " condition. And "through and in spite of, the people build their lives while the "nation is reconstructed.

The study analyzes the Karelia cross-border cooperation programme and its activity under the theoretical framework of soft spaces, exploring the processes through which it overcomes the administrative and political boundaries of the Finnish-Russian ‘hard borders’. The ability of these cross-border areas to cooperate may appear to conflict with the geopolitical context in which they are embedded. The historical path, however, reveals a process where conflicts over changes of borders and political scenarios coexisted with the sharing of spatial identities and development challenges. The study demonstrates how stakeholders are motivated both by functional needs of cooperation towards regional development, as well as desires to change existent practices in the Russian side. Through informal and semi-formal processes of negotiation employed by several stakeholders, the regions attempt to overcome the clashes between EU, Finnish and Russian political and administrative discourses. Thus, it is argued that the cross-border cooperation programme constitutes a soft space in-between regional, national and supranational levels, as well as an enabler of other soft spaces in the local crossborder level.

The notion of interstitial space, or in-between space, is discussed from various authors, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue. The concept of nomadic subject, proposed by Italian philosopher Rosi Braidotti, is used as a notion that helps think through the in-between from a feminine subjectivity perspective. Throughout the text, works by artists connected to the network are presented in order to discuss and highlight these issues. In the third chapter a more thorough analysis of the creative process of the actresses/directors Jill Greenhalgh and Julia Varley is proposed in order to observe the procedures adopted in their path and what they generate at the scene. Aspects related to the form of network organization are also analyzed, as horizontality, decentering and displacement of borders in order to verify the hypothesis that the network phenomenon, while organizational system, reverberates in their members creation and also the opposite: issues involved in artistic creation, such as the use of hybrid languages and multiple identities, reverberate in and modify the network structure, in a continuous flow of mutual contamination. / Esta tese investiga a ocupação de espaços intersticiais na criação de artistas ligadas ao Projeto Magdalena ¿ rede internacional de mulheres de teatro ¿ entendendo que a diluição de fronteiras entre linguagens, entre culturas, entre gêneros, entre geografias e línguas tem contribuído para a criação de trabalhos genuínos e de forte carga autoral, permeados por uma intensa relação com a alteridade. A noção de espaço intersticial, ou espaço do entre, é discutida a partir de vários autores, promovendo um diálogo interdisciplinar. O conceito de sujeito nômade, cunhado pela filósofa italiana Rosi Braidotti, é utilizado como uma noção que ajuda a pensar as questões lançadas pelo in-between a partir de uma perspectiva da subjetividade feminina. No decorrer de todo o texto, são apresentados trabalhos de artistas ligadas à rede visando discutir ou evidenciar estes aspectos. No terceiro capítulo é proposta uma análise mais minuciosa do processo criativo das atrizes/diretoras Jill Greenhalgh e Julia Varley com o intuito de observar os procedimentos adotados em seu percurso e o que eles geram na cena. Aspectos ligados à forma de organização em rede também são analisados, como a horizontalidade, o descentramento e o deslocamento de fronteiras, visando averiguar a hipótese de que o fenômeno rede, enquanto sistema organizacional, reverbera na forma de criar de suas integrantes e também o contrário: aspectos presentes na criação artística, como o uso de linguagens híbridas e identidades múltiplas, reverberam na e modificam a estrutura reticular, num fluxo contínuo de contaminação mútua.
