Few issues divide leaders and policy-makers as much as abortion, which regularly sparks heated political, religious and philosophical debates. Numerous states choose to prohibit or criminalize abortion, despite the fact that it has been practiced throughout recorded history. In many of these states, women turn to unsafe abortion methods, such as consuming bleach or inserting a coat hanger, which may cause long-term damage or death. In the light of this tragic reality, one could ask whether these women have a right to safe abortion in human rights law or not. In order to answer this question, the author analyzes the status of abortion in public international law. The results are based on a thorough examination of the preparatory works (travaux préparatoires) and reservations to CEDAW, CRC, ECHR, and ICCPR, as well as documents by international and regional treaty bodies. The author applies a treaty-based international law methodology, analyzes the results through Hilary Charlesworth and Christine Chinkin’s theory of the public and private distinction in public international law and discusses the juridical- political context. The author concludes that there is neither an explicitly formulated human right to abortion, nor is abortion included within the right to family planning. However, she finds that domestic legislation which criminalizes or restrict access to safe abortions may be in violation of other fundamental human rights.

Na presente pesquisa trato inicialmente a diversas abordagens teóricas que contribuem minimamente para delinear as temáticas sobre jovens e juventude, no lazer. Diante destas inúmeras possibilidades teóricas, procuro não advogar em prol de uma teoria, mas procuro compreender como estas auxiliam-me a dar os contornos do debate, já que, que também não encontro um consenso entre os diversos estudos. Foco minha empreitada teórica nos jovens e como estes vivem seu cotidiano, trago elementos que discutem o lazer, família, educação e trabalho. A fim de atender aos questionamentos que elaboro, recorro à pesquisa etnográfica. Pesquisa esta que realizei com um grupo de jovens praticantes de skate (os “calças coladas”), na pista pública de skate do bairro IAPI na cidade de Porto Alegre - RS. Foram ao todo nove meses de observação direta, no qual relatei cada observação em Diários de Campo, totalizando 70 diários ao final do período. Com o intuito de cobrir as lacunas deixadas pela observação direta, recorri também a entrevistas semi-estruturadas. De posse desses materiais produzidos descrevi o contexto em três Capítulos subsequentes. A pista: o local onde ocorreu a pesquisa, no qual pude acompanhar os “calças coladas” e as disputas ocorridas na pista. Descrevo primeiramente os aspectos materiais da pista, e posteriormente os aspectos simbólicos, configurando assim, a pista. Na pista, ainda descrevo seu jogo e o movimento na pista, e as implicações destes aspectos simbólicos, a partir da perspectiva do grupo dos “calças coladas”. Este grupo que descrevo no Capítulo seguinte: Os “calças coladas” são um grupo predominantemente de jovens, mas ainda considero sua heterogeneidade. Procuro descrever a distinção que há entre os “calças coladas” e os “calças largas”, alguns destes últimos já foram descritos na pesquisa de Bastos (2006) quando acompanhou a trajetória de profissionalização de alguns skatistas, a forma pela qual estes passavam a viver do skate. Distinção entre esses grupos que se dava num primeiro olhar por suas vestimentas, mas que compreendi como muito mais complexas, para além de suas calças. Apesar da distinção e disputa com o outro, os “calças coladas” mesmo tendo seu skate praticado no lazer, não deixam de projetar suas expectativas no skate dos “calças largas”, ou seja, também projetavam viver do skate. Com isso os jovens “calças coladas” procuravam se manter no skate, uma das formas pela qual eles conseguiam foi pelo que chamavam de “apoio”, que era conferido em grande parte pela rede de relações que o grupo construiu na pista. Mas por vezes o “apoio” não era o suficiente para os jovens manter seus projetos, e tão pouco as aspirações de suas famílias. Com isso chego ao último Capítulo descritivo: Os “calças coladas”: as relações dos significados do skate com a família, educação e trabalho. No momento final procuro compreender como o lazer dos jovens que se dava pela prática do skate, se relacionava como outros aspectos de seu cotidiano. Os jovens necessitavam de conciliar as cobranças de suas famílias que recaiam sobre eles. Cobranças estas que também se encontravam no ambiente de trabalho, além das rotulações e estereótipos. Rotulações impostas “de fora”, algo que também acontecia na escola. Mas ao fim percebo que os jovens passam por tudo isso com o propósito de manterem seus projetos no skate. / In the present research I primarily deal with the diverse theoretical approaches that minimally contribute to delineate the thematic on youngsters and youth in leisure. Facing these countless theoretical possibilities, I try not to advocate for a theory, but to understand the way they help me outline this debate, since I cannot find a consensus among the numerous studies. I focus my theoretical task on the youngsters and the way they live their everyday, I bring elements that discuss leisure, family, education and work. In order to answer the questions I make, I resort to ethnographic research. I have performed this research with a group of youngsters practitioners of skateboarding (the “tight pants”), in the public skateboarding track of the IAPI district in the city of Porto Alegre- RS/Brazil. A total of nine months of direct observations were made, in which I reported every observation in the Field Diaries, totalizing 70 journals in the end of the period. In order to cover the gaps left by direct observation, I have also appealed to semi-structured interviews. With this produced material, I have described the context in three subsequent chapters. The track: the place where the research was performed, in which I could follow the “tight pants” and the disputes that took place in the track. I firstly describe the material aspects of the track, and then the symbolic aspects, therefore configurating the track. Also in the track I describe its game and the movement on the track, and the implications of these symbolic aspects from the perspective of the “tight pants” group. This group, which I describe in the following chapter: “The “tight pants” are a group with predominance of Young people, but I still consider its heterogeneity. I try to describe the distinction existent between the “tight pants” and the “loose pants”, some of which were already described on Bastos (2006) when He followed the professionalization path of some skateboarders, and the way these people started making a living from skateboard. The distinction between these groups was made, in a first look, bay their clothing, but I understood them as much more complex, beyond their pants. Despite the distinction and dispute with the other. The “tight pants”, even if they practiced their skateboarding in leisure time, also projected their expectations in skating on the “loose pants”, that is, they also projected making a living from skateboarding. With this, the Young “tight pants” sought to continue skateboarding, and one of the ways they managed to do that was through what they called “support”, which was given, in a great deal, through the relations that the group has built in the track. But many times the “support” was not enough for the youngsters to keep their projects, nor the aspirations of their families. With this, I get to the final descriptive chapters: The “tight pants”: the relations of the meanings of skateboarding with family, education and work. In the final moment I try to understand the way the leisure of these youngsters, which took place through the practice of skateboarding, relates to other aspects of their everyday. They needed to reconcile the demands of their families over them. These demands were also found in the work environment, as well as labels and stereotypes. This labeling were imposed from others, what also took place in the school. But, in the end, I perceive that the youngsters GO through all of this with the purpose of maintaining their skateboarding projects.

Le thème choisi - la métaphysique de F. Suarez - me permet, je pense, une grande ouverture, tant vers la scolastique, que vers la modernité. Dans cette perspective, F. Suarez peut être considéré comme un lanus Bifrons. Mon projet viserait la réalisation d'une thèse bâtie en trois parties. Ces trois parties sont délimitées par l'angle sous lequel j'aborde l’œuvre de F. Suarez. Il s'agit d'une perspective i)historique, ii) critique et iii) réflexive. La perspective historique consisterait dans une analyse diachronique, afin de surprendre la nouveauté du moment suarézien dans la métaphysique scolastique. La perspective critique me permettra d'entamer l'analyse proprement dite le système suarézien de la métaphysique. La perspective réflexive résidera dans un questionnement du projet suarézien à la lumière de la théologie byzantine. Le biais serait le problème de l'analogie.Dans cette thèse je voudrais montrer ce qu'on gagne et ce qu'on perd à partir du "moment F. Suarez". / I chose to approach this theme - F. Suarez's metaphysics - because it gives me the opportunity of a great opening, both to scholasticism and to modernity. From this point of view,Suarez may be considered a lanus Bifrons. My project aims at achieving a triadic structured thesis. It is about a: 1) historical ; 2)critical and 3) reflexive perspective. The historical perspective consists in a diachronic analysis,in trying to grasp the novelty of the Suarezian moment in scholastic metaphysics. The critical perspective allows me to analyze properly the metaphysical system elaborated by Suarez, at the same time trying to interpret the unpublished elements proposed by the Jesuit in Disputationes Metaphysicae. The reflexive perspective consists in problematizing the Suarezian project in the light ofthe Byzantine theology. The leading wire is represented by the analogy.Through this thesis, I wanted to have the opportunity to say what is won and what is lostonce with "the F. Suarez moment".

What kind of rock culture would grow out of an exam-oriented educational system? In the western rock world, self-learning has been characterized as most popular musicians’ principal learning pattern, closely intertwined with the “DIY” ethos and the counter school culture. This research aims to present a different case, that of the “schooled” rock music in Taiwan. Over the last three decades, rock music in Taiwan has grown in popularity, while Taipei has gradually earned the reputation of being the “Mandarin pop/indie capital.” In its developmental process, a few characteristics are worthy of the attention of both the Sociology of Education and youth cultural studies. Firstly, learning rock instruments in regular high school is the main route for teenagers to gain access to rock culture. Secondly, where elite students tend to devote more time to rock music activities than other students, their musical repertoire is characterized by producing covers of heavy metal tunes instead of song-writing. This thesis will probe the rationale behind this phenomenon by answering the following questions: What can best explain the appeal of heavy rock to Taiwanese elite high school students? Why do they not write their own songs? Drawing upon data collected through a school ethnography, it is revealed that the ways Taiwanese elite high school students participate in musical activities can be best understood to be part of a subcultural milieu marked by the collective pursuit of “dual excellence in both study and play”. In this symbolic space, the demanding technical requirements for acquiring several playing techniques allow rock to become a rankable sphere of activity in which elite students struggle for subcultural superiority according to measurable musical standards. The emphasis on instrumental virtuosity conforms to students’ competitive disposition manufactured through academic exams. With these features, rock music becomes a particular form of subcultural activity which allows elite students to not only resist educational control, but also exert symbolic violence over peers of lower-ranked high schools by showing technical superiority. This thesis extends the CCCS’s subcultural solution to the analysis of “subcultural distinction”. In distinction to the “internal perspective” of Sarah Thornton’s conception of subcultural capital (1995), a more holistic framework is developed to explore the relationship between the wider patterns of social division, young people’s subcultural participation, and the shaping of the value hierarchy both within and outside the subcultural sphere. Further, the thesis explores the educational system’s active role in shaping youth subcultures. I demonstrate how education in Taiwan is institutionally mediated by the exam regime to be a powerful logic of social differentiation, and the ways young people’s subcultural choices are constrained by their educational career advance from high school to university. The study also has important implications for the educational policy making in Taiwan. By looking at how students “play,” I propose a new exploratory route to illuminate the widespread impact of the exam-oriented educational system on students’ creativity and identity formation.

Na região metropolitana de São Paulo, a partir da década de 1970, surge um modelo de empreendimento residencial que se caracteriza pelo isolamento de edifícios em grandes lotes murados e protegidos, servidos de espaços de lazer e serviços habitualmente encontrados na cidade aberta. Com a complexificação recente da questão urbana, em que ricos e pobres muitas vezes ocupam os mesmos espaços, este modelo de empreendimento ganhou espaço e se difundiu a partir de discursos fundamentados na experiência do medo da violência urbana, explicitando os processos históricos de segregação social. Outra dimensão da conformação dos espaços residenciais fechados é a que diz respeito às questões simbólicas expressas através da arquitetura destes empreendimentos, tanto em sua estruturação espacial como em suas opções estilísticas. Neste sentido, o que se pretende é uma análise do fenômeno de difusão do modelo de condomínio fechado tipo clube a partir destas duas óticas complementares, às quais podemos definir a partir dos conceitos de segregação e distinção. / The Brazilian cities are marked by excluding and selective urbanization processes in which the contrasts and inequalities are deeply present in the urban space structure and in its landscape configuration. In São Paulo metropolitan area, since the 1970’s, a model of real estate development appears, characterized by isolated buildings within a large, walled and protect area served by recreational spaces and services usually found in the open city. The recent increase in urban scenario, in which rich and poor people many times occupy the same spaces, this type of real estate development has gained space and spread from fear experiences and urban violence speeches, showing the historical social segregation processes. Another dimension of closed residential areas is that of symbolic matters expressed by the architecture of these developments, either on its spatial structure or on its stylistic choices. In this sense, we pretend to analyze the phenomenon of diffusion of this model of real estate development – the gated communities – from two different but complementary points of view we can define from the concept of segregation and distinction.

Partindo dos confrontos que atravessam os estudos de sociologia do gosto na Europa e na América do Norte, esta tese trata dos processos de distinção social pelo gosto com ocupantes das mais altas posições na hierarquia social da cidade de São Paulo. Num primeiro momento, aborda os itens simbólicos das hierarquias culturais legítimas e as técnicas da sociabilidade mundana tal como se manifestam em manuais de etiqueta, crônicas da vida mundana e críticas culturais, passando em revista algumas estatísticas de dispersão social dos bens culturais e certas representações do consumo encenadas no material da imprensa paulistana contemporânea. Num segundo momento, o estudo se encaminha para a investigação de como frações das classes altas de duas áreas residenciais de São Paulo (a dos Jardins e a de Alphaville) marcadas por disparidades associadas à estrutura e, sobretudo, à evolução no tempo do volume total do capital - reagem a esses apelos de estilização da vida. A análise de seus confrontos de preferência, realizada com base em entrevistas semi-diretivas, permite afirmar que os processos de distinção e estigmatização seguem se revigorando através das classificações conflitivas que explicitam habitus de classe e se atualizam através das práticas e das escolhas estéticas. / Having as a starting point the controversies that criss-cross the studies in sociology of taste in Europe and North America, the present dissertation tackles the processes of social distinction through taste of people occupying the highest positions within the social hierarchy of the city of São Paulo. In a first stage, it deals with the symbolic items of the legitimate cultural hierarchies as well as the techniques of the worldly sociability as they appear in etiquette handbooks, chronics of the worldly life, and cultural critic. It also surveys statistical data about social dispersion of cultural goods and representations of consumption displayed in the material from present-day press of São Paulo. In a second stage, the study goes into an inquiry about how fractions of high classes inhabiting two residential areas in São Paulo (the Jardins and Alphaville), that are marked by disparities associated with the structure and, above all, the long term evolution of the overall volume of capital, do react to these appeals to stylization of life. An analysis of their confrontations of preferences, carried out on the basis of half-directive interviews, allows affirming that the processes of distinction and stigmatization are reinforced by conflicting classifications that make explicit class habitus and actualize through esthetical practices and choices.

With this, I get to the final descriptive chapters: The “tight pants”: the relations of the meanings of skateboarding with family, education and work. In the final moment I try to understand the way the leisure of these youngsters, which took place through the practice of skateboarding, relates to other aspects of their everyday. They needed to reconcile the demands of their families over them. These demands were also found in the work environment, as well as labels and stereotypes. This labeling were imposed from others, what also took place in the school. But, in the end, I perceive that the youngsters GO through all of this with the purpose of maintaining their skateboarding projects.
