Procuramos responder as seguintes questões: Qual a identidade dessa instituição escolar neste período? De que maneira desenvolveram-se os processos educativos nesta escola no referido período? Que aspectos do cotidiano escolar ficaram marcados na memória dos discentes, docentes e funcionários dessa escola? A investigação teve como objetivo geral conhecer a História e a memória da Escola José Collier (1988-1997). Em termos de objetivos específicos procuramos apresentar o contexto histórico do período; caracterizar a escola e registrar as suas Histórias e Memórias. O principal teórico que deu suporte à pesquisa foi Norbert Elias (1994 e 2000). A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa contou com as fontes orais como principal instrumento de coleta de dados e a análise temática como tratamento da informação. No resultado observamos que a Escola recebeu fortes influências das Irmãs da Congregação da Sagrada Família mantendo este estilo de escola confessional até o ano de 1997. Alem disso ficou clara a presença marcante da relação de poder no interior da escola, sobretudo entre os discentes (estabelecidos) e os docentes (outsiders) causando uma divisão entre eles que inicialmente foi difícil de ser superada. Foi a partir da vigilância e das punições, que os docentes e equipe gestora buscavam manter a ordem na instituição escolar. / This research is located in the field of Theory and History of Education, falls within the list of search on educational institutions in Brazil, particularly the history and memories of the School José Collier (Camaragibe / PE) in the period 1988-1997. We seek to answer the following questions: What is the identity of this educational institution in this period? How were developedthe educational process in this school in that period? What aspects of everyday school life were marked in memory of the students, of the teachers and employees of this school? The research aimed to know the history and the memory of School José Collier (1988-1997). In terms of specific objectives, we tried to present the historical context of the period characterizing the school and recording their stories and memories. The main theorist who supported the research was Norbert Elias (1994 and 2000). The qualitative research included the oral sources as the primary data collection instrument and the content analysis and processing of information. In the result, we observed that the School received strong influences of the Sisters of the Holy Family Congregation keeping this confessional school style by the year 1997. In addition observe the remarkable presence of power relations within the school; particularly among the students (established) and the teachers (outsiders), causing a division that was initially difficult to be tackled. It was from the surveillance and punishment that the teachers and management team sought to maintain order in the school institution.

Master of Arts / Department of Political Science / Emizet N. Kisangani / This study is an effort to shed some light on the causes of civil war. The literature on civil war onset has been framed under three main perspectives: cultural, political and economic approaches. Recent studies, however, tend to narrow the debate and posit explanations for civil war as either greed-motivated or grievance-motivated. This study replicates one of the most prominent econometric models on civil war, the Collier and Hoeffler model (CH), and further validated their economic interpretation of civil war as greed-motivated. Their argument is that greed-led behavior is motivated by an abundance of valuable resources. However, Collier and Hoeffler overlooked one critical element: scarce resources also contribute to discontent and violent protests. This study suggests that the CH model should include resource scarcity to avoid omitting variable bias.

Nous étudions les fibrations de Lefschetz réelles. Nous présentons des invariants de fibrations de Lefschetz réelles au dessus de $D^2$ ou $S^2$ n'ayant que des valeurs critiques réelles. Dans le cas où le genre des fibres est égal à 1, nous obtenons un objet combinatoire, appelé le diagramme de collier. En utilisant les diagrammes de collier nous obtenons une classification des fibrations de Lefschetz réelles de genre 1 admettant une section réelle et dont toutes les valeurs critiques sont réelles. On définit les diagrammes de collier raffinés pour les fibrations qui n'admettent pas de section réelle. Grâce aux diagrammes de collier, nous observons l'existence de quelques exemples intéressants.

Ensemble creation in Canada is a popular form of script development. It began essentially in the 1970’s with The Farm Show, and has become the site for much theoretical and critical discussion. The Electric Company Theatre began as an ensemble in 1996 and since then has created fascinating productions with a range of topics in both site specific and touring venues. Brilliant! The Blinding Enlightenment of Nikola Tesla was a cornerstone piece for this group and existed in a number of incarnations before the script was eventually published in 2004 and the production toured again in 2006. This thesis examines how the Electric Company Theatre developed material for performance as an ensemble. I also discuss how the Electrics were influenced by the various resources they used in order to generate text and imagery for the production. Through these discussions, I argue that the collective creation product has a direct influence on the process. My research has mostly been conducted through interviews with company members, through research of their production history and script.
