It is a film that exposes the film-maker's relationship with the fact that her older sister - Elena - committed suicide in the early 1990s. Pain and resilience run through the narrative in a very particular, poetic and confessional way. In the course of this essay, the understanding of what is a documentary film in its most varied facets are discussed, dealing especially with its poetic and performative documentary side due to the characteristics of the purpose of the study. The ethics and dilemmas of the representation of reality in the film also contribute to the fundamental theoretical grounds for this research. From a detailed plan-to-plan division of the documentary, three main themes were chosen to guide the analysis: the section describing Elena's suicide; the confusion regarding the image of Elena and Petra; and the sharing of the film-maker's mourning due to her sister's death. / Esta tese objetiva analisar o documentário Elena, de Petra Costa, no que se refere à organização narrativa de seus elementos visuais e sonoros. Trata-se de um filme que expõe a relação da cineasta com o fato de sua irmã mais velha - Elena - ter se suicidado no início dos anos 1990. A dor e a superação percorrem a narrativa de forma muito particular, poética e confessional. No decorrer do trabalho discute-se o entendimento do que é um documentário nas suas mais variadas facetas, em especial a vertente do documentário poético e performático, devido às características do objeto de estudo. A ética e os dilemas da representação da realidade no documentário também contribuem para o embasamento teórico desta pesquisa. A partir de uma detalhada divisão plano a plano do documentário, foram escolhidos três temas principais para nortear a análise: o trecho em que se descreve o suicídio de Elena; a confusão da imagem de Elena e Petra; e o compartilhamento do luto da cineasta devido à morte da irmã.

Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales) / No autorizada por el autor para ser publicada a texto completo / En las dos últimas décadas el derecho internacional ha tenido un avance aceleradísimo, en especial aquel que se refiere a la protección de los derechos fundamentales del hombre, viviendo actual y patentemente el fenómeno de la globalización, ya no sólo de los principios y normas, sino también de la jurisdicción. En nuestra opinión, los organismos internacionales avocados a este tema (Comisión y Corte Interamericana, en nuestro ámbito regional) se han transformado en un importante fiscalizador y garante, para que los estados efectivamente cumplan con su obligación de respeto y protección de las personas. Esperamos que nuestro aporte al tema sirva para difundir en algo este "nuevo orden internacional", recordando que se han cumplido 50 años de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos. La parte orgánica del texto se reducirá a dos partes esenciales: La primera, se referirá al análisis del sistema interamericano de derechos humanos, con especial énfasis en la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Aquí haremos una breve reseña histórica del sistema, partiendo de la creación de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos hasta llegar a la creación de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, determinando las diferencias de una y otra a partir de la misma Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos, instrumento base de toda esta red regional de protección a los derechos fundamentales de la persona. En el siguiente capítulo nos adentraremos en la Organización y Funcionamiento del Tribunal Interamericano, para de esta forma tener un conocimiento básico antes de llegar a analizar el caso que trataremos y que falló la Corte. Finalmente en la primera parte también haremos un análisis de la jurisdicción contenciosa en particular, analizando las normas procesales que inspiran y regulan este ordenamiento, estudiando además las relaciones entre los distintos entes que actúan en el proceso. La segunda parte apuntará al análisis en particular de un caso fallado por la Corte ( Caso Loayza Tamayo ) , donde profundizaremos sobre los aspectos de forma ( Procedimiento seguido ante ella ) y de fondo ( Normas y principios ) ventilados en el caso, en donde destacan la garantía del debido proceso legal, el derecho a la libertad personal e integridad física y mental, el derecho a la defensa, el principio de la igualdad y el non bis in idem.

Projektet undersöker det lokala landskapet som potentiell värdeskapare i en tid av ekonomisk nedgång. Projektet utgår ifrån staden Venedigs planer på stadsförnyelse på den tidigare båtvarvstomten på ön St Elena. Metoden har varit att studera det befintliga och utifrån det försöka finna nya rumsliga lösningar på dagens och framtidens krav. Förslaget innefattar gestaltning av en planerad park och de två närmast angränsande kvarteren. Det består av en inplanterad biotop i form av en salt våtmark som är en viktig livsmiljö för djur och växter ute i lagunen. Det byggda tillägget är en träkonstruktion som fungerar som en länk mellan de tätare planerade kvarteren och det nya grönområdet. Mot gatan är arkitekturen en solid vägg med entréer medan mötet med parken består av en mjukare, sekventiell övergång mellan arkitektur och landskap. Projektet visar på hur en attraktiv stads- och boendemiljö kan skapas då biologisk mångfald och matproduktion blir en del av staden. På så vis skapas värde och mening i staden. / The project investigates the local landscape as a potential creator of value in a time of economic decline. The project is based on the city of Venice's plans for urban renewal on a former boatyard site on the island of St. Elena. The method has been to study the existing structure as a starting point to find new spatial solutions to current and future requirements. The proposal includes the design of a planned park and the two neighboring blocks. It consists of an implanted salt marsh which is an important habitat for animals and plants around the lagoon. The built addition is a wooden structure that serves as a link between the denser parts of the planned district and the new green area. The architecture arrange itself in the orthogonal urban structure towards the street side, while the meeting with the park consists of a softer, sequential transition between architecture and landscape. The project demonstrates how an attractive urban and residential environment can be created where biodiversity and food production becomes part of the city. Thus creating value and meaning in the city.

The novel Leonora by Elena Poniatowska is about Leonora Carrington who was born into a wealthy family and challenged family traditions, and those expectations imposed by her social background and her gender. It will be shown that the main character acts according to a self-construction process free of social impositions. Simone de Beauvoir’s well-known phrase “one is not born a woman, one becomes one”, is one of the feminist positions that contributes to this analysis, as well as the literary techniques explained by Gérard Genette, Oscar Tacca, Mieke Bal and the narratology theories of focalization, direct speech, indirect speech and free indirect speech. The aim of this essay is to analyze the literary techniques that present the self-construction of the main character, and their effects on the reader. The hypotheses of this essay are that in order to present the self-construction of the character, the literary techniques create an effect of alternately zooming the reader in to the main character’s experience, and zooming out to a more objective view. In addition, the literary techniques used to present Carrington’s self-construction seek to show her feminist stance and her transgressions in both private and public spheres. Poniatowska’s literary techniques deliver the message that when a woman is released from social and cultural constraints she has the power to modify spheres.
