The study's purpose is to use qualitative methods to analyze the image FRIDA conveys of reality through textual and visual communication. The study is interested in the ideals that are produced, how femininity, masculinity and sexuality are presented as well as how the content is mediated. The theories used in the study are mainly regarding representation, stereotypes and gender. This study involves the methods critical discours analysis based on Faircloughs threedimensional model and a semiotic analysis using expressions like denotation, connotation and myth. In summary, the study has shown that the magazine FRIDA hasn´t followed the objective that’s being conveyed as goals for its content. That to oppose normative values in society and to strengthen their readers. Instead, the mediated message is consistently lined with hegemonic thoughts and values regarding gender as well as sexuality.

The increasing availability of easy-to-use end-to-end encrypted messaging applications has made it possible for more people to conduct their conversations privately. This is something that criminals have taken advantage of and it has proven to make digital forensic investigations more difficult as methods of decrypting the data are needed. In this thesis, data from iOS and Windows devices is extracted and analysed, with focus on the application Signal. Even though other operating systems are compatible with the Signal application, such as Android, it is outside the scope of this thesis. The results of this thesis provide access to data stored in the encrypted application Signalwithout the need for expensive analysis tools. This is done by developing and publishing the first open-source script for decryption and parsing of the Signal database. The script is available for anyone at https://github.com/decryptSignal/decryptSignal.

Frida Kahlo was chosen as an object of studying because, meanly, she presents, for Psychoanalyses, female hysteria symptoms. In order to make this piece of work understood we used Freudian theory and writers that contributed to Freud´s thoughts and to the female psyche constitution and also to the disarrangements that cause the neurosis hysteric. After that I did psychoanalytic interpretations about life and work of the author on target / O objetivo desta dissertação é realizar uma leitura psicanalítica a respeito da vida e da obra de Frida Kahlo. O meu intuito de utilizar a biografia e a obra de Frida Kahlo como objeto de estudo deve-se, principalmente, ao fato dela apresentar características que podem ser compreendidas, à luz da psicanálise, como histeria feminina. Para tornar claro esse entendimento, nesta dissertação, parto da teoria freudiana e de autores que com ela contribuem sobre a constituição psíquica feminina e os desarranjos que ocasionam a neurose histérica , e após isto, faço interpretações psicanalíticas acerca da vida e da obra da artista em questão

Abstract In this Research paper and through my Studio practice, I search for what binds me and separates me from my children. I investigate abjection theories through Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille and focus on a particular form I call the maternal abject. This occurs at the time an infant separates from its mother, acquires language and maps its own body. I am proposing that the mapping of the body is the point at which an individual perceives social structures and learns about prohibitions and taboos, hence the abject. I also investigate the relationship between the maternal abject and the artistic process through the writings of Kristeva. Abjection is illustrated through the works of Mona Hatoum, Fiona Hall, Hieronymus Bosch, and Paul Quinn. The maternal abject is illustrated through the works of Mary Kelly, Cindy Sherman, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois. A possible reading of the maternal abject is given through the works of Gregory Crewdson, Joel-Peter Witkin and Francis Bacon. The studio work is in two parts. The first part is a series of layered photomedia images. The layers consist of a naked female body, which has been merged with Renaissance like Madonna and Child images. Texture, such as stones and spikes, is embedded to signify the fragility and strength of the body. Children are also present and are merged with the adult female body. All images are cradled in a darkened atmosphere in order to draw the viewer inside the images. The second part is a bassinet, which has been drilled and pierced by thousands of pearl-headed steel pins. This piece signifies the dichotomy of the motherhood experience, which on the one hand is rewarding and fulfilling and on the other an abject and isolating experience of no apparent economic value. The two parts interact so that the bassinet piece with its threatening exterior acts as an aggressor towards the photomedia images.

Partindo da noção de interdisciplinaridade, este trabalho se centra na questão de gênero comparando formas diferentes do discurso narrativo, particularmente, em imagens e em textos autobiográficos produzidos por três mulheres artistas de diversas procedências, como a coreana Hye Seok Rha, a brasileira Tarsila do Amaral, e a mexicana Frida Kahlo. O trabalho investiga aspectos em comum e divergentes da linguagem utilizada pelas mulheres artistas, enquanto procura responder questões sobre a auto-representação feminina e as narrativas de cunho pessoal de autoria feminina. Sob esse ângulo, faz-se incursões teóricas em duas direções: uma relacionada com a questão dos gêneros artísticos, e a outra, com o ato de criar das mulheres como possibilidade de saírem da invisibilidade histórica a que foram submetidas durante séculos, tanto no terreno das artes plásticas quanto no da literatura. Desta forma, evidencia-se a existência de relações interdisciplinares que situam o presente trabalho no terreno da literatura comparada.

In Brazil, Frida married, had children, and worked with churches in the north of the country, moving to the Southeast when, with her husband Gunnar Vingren, she started the Assemblies of God in Rio de Janeiro. In 1932, the family returned to Sweden. A few months later her husband died. She tried to return to Brazil, but was prevented from doing so. She was hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals, dying in 1940. Since then, for 80 years there has been a process of forgetting Frida and her work in Brazil. Therefore, this text looks to evaluate, in the light of gender studies, her life story, and the pressure that was placed on her in a context of male domination over women. The consequence of this process of symbolic violence has been the erasing of Frida and her history, for decades, from the history of the Brazilian Assemblies of God. / Esta tese resulta de uma investigação efetuada sobre Frida Maria Standberg (1891-1940), missionária sueca enviada para o Brasil pela Igreja Filadélfia, de Estocolmo, em 1917, e que ajudou na expansão do movimento pentecostal brasileiro, que resultou no movimento das Assembleias de Deus. Frida no Brasil se casou, teve filhos, trabalhou com igrejas no Norte do País, se transferindo para o Sudeste quando, ao lado do marido, Gunnar Vingren, trabalhou na implantação das Assembleias de Deus no Rio de Janeiro. Em 1932, a família retornou para a Suécia. Alguns meses depois seu marido morreu. Tentou voltar ao Brasil, mas, foi impedida de fazê-lo. Foi internada em hospitais psiquiátricos, morrendo em um deles em 1940. Desde então, ao longo de 80 anos houve um processo de esquecimento de Frida e de suas atividades no Brasil. Portanto, procurou-se neste texto avaliar, à luz da perspectiva de gênero, a sua trajetória, e a pressão que sobre ela foi feita num contexto de dominação masculina sobre as mulheres. Resultou desse processo de violência simbólica, o apagamento de Frida e de sua trajetória, por dezenas de anos, da história das Assembleias de Deus brasileiras.
