During the course of the study identified at least three major models of cosmopolitanism: the Imperial, the messianic, Republican, to which Kant joins. Cosmopolitanism is his first formulations in antiquity, at the time of the Hellenistic and Roman empires, which will be taken up by medieval Christianity, the messianic version. It is however in modern times that the cosmopolitan ideal reappear with strength, especially in the Enlightenment period in the work of thinkers such as Abbé de Saint‐Pierre, Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant, who gave the most complete formulation philosophically. It fell to associate the theme cosmopolitan Kant to the problem of peace and the constitutionalization of international law by proposing a World Federation of Free States, which promoted legal equality between the different peoples who inhabit the earth, under the aegis of a new international law cosmopolitical. The update of this discussion occurred in the twentieth century, as a possible solution to the immense problems of a world traumatized by two world wars and the atomic terror. The proposal is part of the cosmopolitan globalization process of recent decades in the international legal sphere, as an effective mechanism for building a global civil society of peace, and to prepare the way for a World Federation of States, provided by Kant. Philosophers of law and politics as Kelsen, Habermas and Bobbio, seeking to update and reinterpret the Kantian proposal in the light of the new phenomena of war and peace in the era of globalization, they oppose the realist thinkers such as Danilo Zolo, who question the theoretical validity and practical feasibility of this project. The thesis I defend is that cosmopolitanism is not an impossible utopia, but a realizable possibility, at least in a philosophical and legal approach, when faced with political and legal challenges of contemporary international relations, since some conditions are created for its implementation. / Objetiva-se, neste trabalho de pesquisa, discutir a proposta cosmopolita kantiana de paz perpétua e a sua atualidade, duzentos anos depois de ter sido escrita. Durante o percurso da pesquisa identificamos pelo menos três grandes modelos de cosmopolitismo: o imperial, o messiânico, o republicano, ao qual Kant se filia. O cosmopolitismo encontra suas primeiras formulações na Antiguidade, na época dos Impérios helenísticos e romanos, que serão retomadas pelo cristianismo medieval, na versão messiânica. É, porém na época moderna que o ideal cosmopolita reaparece com força, sobretudo no período iluminista, na obra de pensadores como o Abbè de Saint-Pierre, Rousseau, e Immanuel Kant, que lhe deu a formulação filosoficamente mais completa. Coube a Kant associar a temática cosmopolita ao problema da paz e à constitucionalização da legislação internacional através da proposta de uma Federação Mundial de Estados Livres, que promovesse a igualdade jurídica entre os diferentes povos que habitam a Terra, sob a égide de um novo direito internacional cosmopolítico. A atualização dessa discussão ocorreu no século XX, como uma possível solução para os imensos problemas de um mundo traumatizado por duas guerras mundiais e pelo terror atômico. A proposta cosmopolita se insere no processo de globalização das últimas décadas na esfera jurídica internacional, como um mecanismo eficaz para a construção de uma sociedade civil global de paz, bem como para preparar o caminho para uma Federação Mundial de Estados, prevista por Kant. Filósofos do direito e da política como Kelsen, Habermas e Bobbio, procuram atualizar e reinterpretar a proposta kantiana á luz dos novos fenômenos da guerra e da paz na época da globalização; a eles se contrapõem os pensadores realistas, como Danilo Zolo, que questionam a validade teórica e a viabilidade prática deste projeto. A tese que defendemos é que o cosmopolitismo não é uma utopia irrealizável, mas uma possibilidade realizável, pelo menos em uma abordagem filosófico-jurídica, ao nos depararmos com os desafios político-jurídicos da contemporaneidade das relações internacionais, uma vez que sejam criadas alguma condições para a sua implementação.

Esta pesquisa etnográfica focaliza a produção do tecnobrega, uma modalidade de música eletrônica considerada de "mau gosto" estético, associada às periferias da cidade de Belém (Capital do Pará, no norte do Brasil) e a indivíduos/grupos sociais pertencentes a esses espaços urbanos. Consiste basicamente no resultado de manipulações computacionais de timbres, ritmos e melodias realizadas em estúdios por produtores musicais, ainda que o tecnobrega não se encontre relacionado exclusivamente à síntese digital sonora. O seu surgimento/assentamento local, nos anos 2000, remonta o estabelecimento do brega no Brasil, a partir da década de 1960, como um tipo de música alçada ao plano do "povo" através de um discurso midiático nacional de distinção sociocultural concebido no seio das classes médias urbanas emergentes. Igualmente ao brega, o tecnobrega (uma techno-versão do brega, pelo que o próprio nome sugere) também se destaca como música estigmatizada, tanto quanto personagens ligados ao universo da produção musical local carregam o estigma de ser "brega". Por outro lado, produtores, cantores, compositores, entre outros atores sociais que integram a cena musical brega de Belém do Pará se servem da condição de estigmatizados para erigir o tecnobrega como música de resistência, ao mesmo tempo (e ambiguamente) contestando a cultura "dominante" e nela se espelhando. De dentro do campo desta música, busco nesta tese apontar e discutir a re-significação daquilo que no país se vulgarizou como música "degradada", partindo da hipótese de que o tecnobrega consiste em expressão de caráter cosmopolita, assim como a sua produção é conseqüência de um ser/agir cosmopolita refletido em comportamentos, práticas culturais/musicais e no discurso sonoro. A noção de cosmopolitismo, teorizada neste trabalho em termos de tempos e espaços entrecruzados, bem como a dupla acepção do estigma e a relativização da idéia de música de e para a periferia, são analisadas com base na observação de espaços urbanos, em "trajetórias individuais" de artistas brega, em performances e na produção musical, multimídia e tecnológica que caracteriza o tecnobrega. Cosmopolitismo e globalização, mídias e tecnologias, regionalismo e construção de identidades aparecem como questões tratadas dentro de um campo teórico amplo que intersecta a Etnomusicologia, a Sociologia e a Antropologia Social. / This ethnographic research focuses on the production of tecnobrega, a type of electronic music which is considered to be of "bad aesthetic taste" associated to the outskirts of Belém (the capital city of Pará, a state in northern Brazil) as well as to the individuals/social groups belonging to these urban spaces. Tecnobrega consists of computer-manipulated studio-based timbers, rhythms, and melodies, though tecnobrega is not exclusively linked to digital media. Its emergence/local record in the 2000's resorts to the establishment of the brega (tacky) music in Brazil throughout the 1960's, as a type of music led to the sphere of the "populace" through a national mediated discourse of sociocultural distinction conceived within the emerging urban middle classes. As with the brega music, tecnobrega (a technology-based version of brega, as the name itself indicates) is also a stigmatized music in as much as the social actors related to its local production carry the stigma of being "tacky". On the other hand, producers, singers, composers and other social actors related to the brega scene in Belém do Pará make use of this stigmatization in order to establish tecnobrega as resistance music (ambiguously) contesting the mainstream culture whereas mirroring itself in the mainstream. From inside this scenario, I attempt to point out and discuss the re-signification of what in Brazil has been vulgarized as a "degraded" musical style departing from the hypothesis that tecnobrega is an artistic expression of a cosmopolitan character and its production is the consequence of acting/being cosmopolitan which is reflected in behaviors, cultural/musical practices and in its sound discourse. The notion of cosmopolitanism (here theorized as intercrossed time and space), stigma and the relativization of the idea of music of and for the periphery are analyzed on the grounds of the observation of urban spaces, of 'individual trajectories' of brega artists in performances and music production, multimedia and technologies that characterize tecnobrega. Cosmopolitanism and globalization, media and technologies, localism and identity construction are treated within a theoretical perspective which juxtaposes Ethnomusicology, Sociology, and Social Anthropology.

A presente dissertação versa a teoria geral da determinação da lei aplicável no Direito Internacional Privado, sob a ótica de parâmetros cosmopolitas colhidos em outras ciências humanas, em perspectiva interdisciplinar. Analisam-se vários estudos recentes sobre o cosmopolitismo, bem como suas origens remotas, de modo a propor possíveis relações do tema com o método conflitual do Direito Internacional Privado. No capítulo I, empreende-se estudo histórico, retornando às origens do cosmopolitismo (filosofias grega e romana), passando pelo cosmopolitismo de Kant, no séc. XVIII, para então, finalmente, examinar os cosmopolitismos contemporâneos. Quanto a estes, procede-se à uma taxionomia e se exploram algumas proposições teóricas de especial utilidade para a determinação da lei aplicável. No capítulo II, busca-se transpor o cosmopolitismo do plano das demais ciências humanas para o plano da teoria jurídica em particular. Analisa-se, primeiro, o que implica a ideia de cosmopolitização do direito e, após, a relação entre o cosmopolitismo e o Direito Internacional Privado em específico. Dá-se especial atenção à aplicação da ideia de justiça cosmopolita no contexto da determinação da lei aplicável. No capítulo III, trata-se dos três grandes métodos de determinação da lei aplicável (multilateralismo, unilateralismo e materialismo), em perspectivas histórica e crítica. Conclui-se que a adoção do multilateralismo enquanto estrutura principal de determinação da lei aplicável, flexibilizado pelo princípio da proximidade, atende mais à imparcialidade cosmopolita que os outros dois métodos. No capítulo IV, propõe-se uma visão cosmopolita do princípio da ordem pública, concentrando-se em duas importantes evoluções teóricas mais recentes: as noções de ordem pública de proximidade e de ordem pública verdadeiramente internacional. Procede-se, ademais, a exame crítico da aplicação da exceção da ordem pública, no que se refere à lei aplicável, na jurisprudência brasileira recente. Ao fim do estudo, as principais conclusões são enumeradas. / This dissertation addresses international choice of law, through the lens of cosmopolitan standards collected from other humanities, undertaking an interdisciplinary approach. Many recent studies on cosmopolitanism are examined, as well as its remote origins, so as to propose links between choice of law and cosmopolitanism. In chapter I, a historical study is undertaken, going back to the origins of cosmopolitanism (Greek and Roman philosophers), dealing moreover with Kants cosmopolitanism (18th century) and contemporary cosmopolitanisms. Accordingly, a division into categories is proposed and some theoretical notions of special importance to choice of law are tackled. In chapter II, cosmopolitan concepts are applied to legal theory. First, consequences are drawn from the idea of cosmopolitanizing law. Afterwards, the relation between Conflict of Laws and cosmopolitanism is addressed. The focus is on the application of the idea of cosmopolitan justice to choice of law. In chapter III, the three existing choice of law methods are addressed (multilateralism, unilateralism and substantialism), historically and critically. It is concluded that the adoption of multilateralism as a general framework, flexibilized by the principe de proximité, is a better option in terms of cosmopolitan impartiality than the other two methods. In chapter IV, a cosmopolitan vision of public policy is proposed, focusing upon two important theories recently conceived: the notions of ordre public de proximité and of truly international public policy. Also, a critical address of the recent application of the public policy exception by Brazilian courts (within the choice of law context) is made. At the end, the main conclusions are enumerated.

Pessoas, objetos e ideias circulam por diferentes lugares e de distintas maneiras, redimensionando noções de espaço e tempo, de pertencimento e de configurações identitárias. A presente pesquisa, frente a esse contexto, objetivou investigar a migração estudantil através dos intercâmbios acadêmicos. Esse tipo de migração, crescente nos últimos anos, possui singularidades que afetam sobremaneira as trajetórias e percepções de quem os pratica. A partir da experiência de alunos de graduação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), que realizaram intercâmbio estudantil nos anos de 2013 e 2014, bem como da própria experiência do pesquisador, que realizou intercâmbio em sua graduação no ano de 2011, buscou-se compreender e caracterizar esse fenômeno. Através de entrevistas e observação participante, percebeu-se que este tipo de migração possui uma correlação direta com o corte geracional. A ideia de “ser jovem” pressupõe estar disponível para viver novas experiências e incorporar ideais cosmopolitas. Entretanto, esses estudantes, ao irem para um país estrangeiro, encontram dificuldades de integração com a população “nativa”, restringindo suas interações ao universo de seus pares, ou seja, outros intercambistas. Apesar dessa condição de “estrangeiro”, o intercâmbio atua como elemento diferenciador e distintivo em relação às redes desses estudantes no Brasil. Além disso, o intercâmbio contribui para a construção de projetos de vida e para a ampliação do “campo de possibilidades” desses sujeitos, alargando significativamente suas percepções e perspectivas sobre suas próprias vidas e sobre o mundo. O “estar fora”, a experiência do estranhamento, promovem a ressignificação de uma identidade brasileira, utilizada como estratégia de diferenciação em relação aos estrangeiros. Por fim, cabe destacar esse fenômeno como parte de projetos governamentais de desenvolvimento, se inserindo no cenário global da disputa geopolítica pelo conhecimento científico. / Migration, in the contemporary world, has intensified and got significantly more complex. People, objects and ideas circulate among different places and different ways, resizing notions of space and time and configurations of belonging and identity. This research, in this context, aimed at investigating the student’s migration through academic exchanges. This type of migration, growing in recent years, has singularities that greatly affect the trajectories and perceptions of those who practice them. Based on the experience of the graduate students from the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), which had exchanged students in the years 2013 and 2014, as well as the experience of the researcher, who was himself an exchange student on his undergraduation in 2011, there came an attempt to understand and describe this phenomenon. Through interviews and participant observation, it was noticed that this type of migration has a direct correlation to the generational cut. The idea of "being young" presupposes being available for new experiences and incorporating cosmopolitan ideal. However, these students who go to a foreign country face many integration difficulties to hang on with the locals, restricting their interactions to the universe of their peers, or, in other words, with other exchange students. Despite of this "foreign" condition, the exchange student acts as a differentiating and distinctive element for the network of these students in Brazil. In addition, the exchange student contributes to the construction of life projects and the expansion of the "field of possibilities" of these subjects, extending significantly their perceptions and perspectives on their own lives and on the world. The living out and the experience of the strangeness promote the redefinition of a Brazilian identity, used as a differentiation strategy in relation to foreigners. Finally, we highlight this phenomenon as part of government development projects, by inserting in the global arena of geopolitical dispute for scientific knowledge.

Since unification the memorial landscape of Berlin and its surrounding territories has shifted and expanded exponentially. The majority of this change has occurred within the past ten years, as commemoration of the Holocaust and educational programmes on the National Socialist period have become not only prevalent, but a necessary and expected contribution to the shaping of German identity and memorial culture. In the past decade memorial museums and sites of remembrance, such as the House of the Wannsee Conference, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and the former Sachsenhausen and Ravensbrück concentration camps, have contributed to and been impacted by the formation of a globalised memory of the Holocaust. As major and internationally renowned institutions, these sites offer unique insight into the nature of current memorial culture and recent approaches to memorialising and commemorating the past. Through an analysis of their exhibition spaces (online, permanent, temporary) and educational programmes (guided tours, seminars, and workshops), this dissertation will attempt to identify how these sites contribute to the formation of a globalised memory. Though each of these four sites possesses a different connection to the history of the Holocaust, and their own alternative approach to presenting and commemorating this history; this variation will provide insight into the divergent landscape of memorialisation within Germany, while also highlighting the common approaches, and practical issues that are of concern to these institutions. Overall the main aim of this thesis will be to demonstrate how memorialisation of the Holocaust, at sites within Berlin and Brandenburg, is no longer defined and shaped solely by the nation state, but rather is influenced by and contributes to international trends of remembrance and a globalised memory of the Holocaust.

To reveal the theories and practices that linked education to the development within the cities of Boston and Buenos Aires, and in turn to the development of US and Argentina nationalism, “Cosmopolitan Imperialism” centers on two education reformers, Horace Mann (1776-1859) and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888). Mann and Sarmiento formed part of a supra-national community where liberal intellectual elites created a republic of letters, or perhaps better said, a republic of schools. As different versions of education branched out from a common Atlantic origin during the nineteenth century, Mann and Sarmiento searched for those ideas that better fit their national projects, a local project that started in the cities and moved to the interior parts of the country. In Boston and Buenos Aires, modern nationalism intertwined with imperial projects. This dissertation thus analyzes nationalism and reform in the nineteenth-century as an imperial project led by cosmopolitan intellectual elites. While we might expect to find Mann and Sarmiento’s ideas on education to be centered on their national experiences, looking to Europe for inspiration, this dissertation shows that it was quite the opposite. Educational ideas developed within an interconnected network and traveled within the North-South axis connecting Boston with Buenos Aires. This framework moves the focus from the interchange of ideas between America and Europe and places it within the American continent. At the same time, it allows us to consider Latin American and the US as both creators and recipients of educational ideas. There is a traditional way of talking about nationalism and reform in the nineteenth-century, especially in terms of education and educational policies. It is common to imagine that in the US, and even more certainly in Latin America, educated elites looked to the so-called West for inspiration. The argument is that they ended up adapting foreign models to their local and internal contexts. This dissertation challenges that idea and shows that different versions of education developed from a shared Atlantic milieu in which reformers in certain cities saw themselves as part of the same cosmopolitan empires.

This thesis seeks to examine the nature of political theatre within the postmodern context. I distinguish between the historical alternative theatre and the paradoxical alternative theatre in my work. The historical alternative coincides with the alternative theatre movement developed in Britain between the late 1960s and late 1970s, while in Portugal this movement was mainly designated as independent theatre between 1974 and the 1980s. I start by analysing the narratives of birth and death of the historical alternative theatre movement in the British and Portuguese contexts from the establishment of the movement in the late 1960s to the present. I go on to propose that beyond the historical alternative and within a post-ideology framework, contemporary theatre may still engage with politics by exercising a localised and temporary paradoxical alternative. For my research I selected four long-running and state-funded theatre companies, o bando, Kneehigh, Foursight and Escola de Mulheres, chosen according to two of the categories prominent during the historical alternative movement, community theatre and women's theatre. Through detailed analysis of productions of the four theatre companies, I assess the characteristics of a postmodern political oppositional theatre. My methodological approach covers the longitudinal context of the companies and productions by looking at past productions, funding statements, reviews, practitioners' interviews, theatre programmes and the rehearsal, performance and reception stages of the theatrical process. I start by analysing each company's history and their own mythologies of the alternative, before focusing on two of the central traits of the theatre developed during the historical alternative theatre movement, non-traditional spaces and non-traditional audiences. Each of the four companies has, out of necessity or choice, positioned itself outside of traditional theatre and entertainment circuits for some of its productions, negotiating symbolical and ideological independence side by side with large productions in repertory and/or commercial theatres. Each of the companies fosters, in addition, in their non-traditional places mechanisms that subvert circumstantially the hierarchical values imbued by neoliberal thought. The oppressed take centre-stage. Exposed to the vagaries of the weather, to exiguous or improvised audience spaces, expected to, forced by circumstances or incentivised to interact with fellow spectators and actors, audiences rediscover in the moment of the performance their shared humanity and form fleeting and secular communities of faith.

Det här självständiga arbetet, som avslutar utbildningen Arkitektur, visualisering ochkommunikation på Malmös universitet, handlar om interaktion mellan människor och utforskarom en omgestaltning av platsen vid Rosengårds station hade kunnat minska polarisering och rasism.Syftet med arbetet har varit att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur designprinciper somdrivs av konvivialitet kan påverka upplevelsen av att vistas på en plats. Detta undersöks i ettgestaltningsförslag som presenterar hur Rosengårds station kan byggas om för att förstärka den sociala hållbarheten i stadsdelen och sammanföra Rosengård med resten av Malmö.Konvivialitet står för gemenskap och att kunna leva tillsammans. Genom att skapa tillfällen eller samlingsplatser som bidrar till integration, under ett demokratiskt tak, kan vi med tiden minska segregationen och stigmatiseringen i världen. På sådana platser kan fler människor observera andra och lära sig tolerera varandra. Det i sig leder även till att platsen kan upplevas tryggare och härlig att vistas på.Den här studien handlar även om trygghet, och vilka designprinciper som används för attdesigna en trygg plats. Arbetet hävdar att konvivialitet kan skapa ett bättre samhälle, ochförklarar varför det kan vara lämpligare att designa med aspekter av konvivialitet än aspekterav trygghet. Att designprinciper som bygger på en önskan om att etablera konvivialitet skiljersig från designprinciper som drivs av endast att ge förutsättningarna för trygghet presenterasi arbetet. Litteraturstudierna har sammanfattats och undersökts vidare i ett designförslag.Litteraturstudierna har även varit grunden för upplägget av undersökningar och analyser samtintervjuer med viktiga aktörer. Genom observationer, skisser och samtal sammanfattades viktiga synpunkter och aspekter under arbetets gång. Genom att i designförslaget undersöka hur en tillbyggnad av bokaler (en byggnadstyp med plats för lägenheter samt butiker, mat och dryck, verksamheter) kan fler aktiviteter och förbättrad rörelse vid stationen skapas. Designförslaget visar hur vi kan få uppleva stadsrummet tryggare, attraktivare och mer konvivialt. / This independent work, which completes the course Architecture, Visualization and Communication at Malmö University, is about interaction between people and explores whether a redesign of the site at Rosengård station could have reduced polarization and racism.The purpose of the work has been to contribute to a greater understanding of how design principles driven by conviviality can influence the experience of staying in one place. This is being explored in a design proposal that presents how Rosengård's station can be rebuilt to strengthen the social sustainability of the district and to combine Rosengård with the rest of Malmö.Conviviality stands for community and being able to live together. By creating opportunities or gathering places that contribute to integration, under a democratic roof, we can over time reduce segregation and stigmatization in the world. In such places, more people can observe others and learn to tolerate each other. This in itself also means that the place can be felt safer and lovely to stay at.This study also deals with safety, and what design principles are used to design a safe place. The work claims that conviviality can create a greater society, and explains why it may be more appropriate to design with aspects of conviviality than aspects of security. That design principles based on a desire to establish conviviality differ from design principles that are driven by only providing the conditions for security are presented in the work. The literature studies have been summarized and further investigated in a design proposal. Literature studies have also been the basis for the organization of surveys and analyzes as well as interviews with key players. Through observations, sketches and conversations, important views and aspects were summarized during the course of the work. By exploring in the design proposal how an extension of books (a building type with space for apartments as well as shops, food and drink, businesses), more activities and improved movement at the station can be created. The design proposal shows how we can experience the city space safer, more attractive and more convivial.

This paper explores possible solutions to the existing gap between human rights and citizenship and asks if society should replace citizenship with a more globalised or international form of “citizenship”? It further asks how society should aim to best eliminate the gap between human rights and citizenship? The paper uses an argumentative analysis to examine the theories of internationalism, global citizenship, and the democracy of demoi while considering cosmopolitan, agonistic, and anarchist viewpoints. In doing so showing the imperialist tendencies within global citizenship due to its need for universalism, and the possible alternative presented by the democracy of demoi as a pluralistic solution that accommodates agonistic views and anarchist notions of non-domination.

In response to the changes brought about by globalization, colleges and universities around the \Vorld are increasingly developing and expanding the 4 internationalization programs on their campuses. One important aspect of these programs that is often highlighted by institutions in their mission statements is the development of global citizenship among graduates. However, despite the rhetorical claims and apparent intemationalization activity aimed at producing global citizens, many recent reports suggest that most institutions in North America and elsewhere have not been successful in this goal. Two common issues in this failure are a Jack of clarity in the definition and purpose of global citizenship education, and Jack of appropriate assessment tools and practices. In light of these problems, this exploratory thesis examines two existing frameworks, cosmopolitanism and intercultural relations, in an effort to establish a strong theoretical foundation for the support and development of a moral, ethical, and social justice perspective of education for global citizenship programs in colleges and universities that reflects the traditions of a liberal education. Analysis of the existing scholarship in these two areas shows a commonality between the frameworks that is mostly unrecognized in the literature. Together, the similarities in these two theoretical frameworks combine to make a compelling argument for the continued development of global citizenship programs that focus on peace and social justice. In addition, these frameworks provide effective solutions for the critical problems faced by education for global citizenship programs.
