Propõe-se a investigar até que ponto alguns dos principais instrumentos propostos ou apoiados pelo Brasil, a saber, o Fundo de Convergência Estrutural e Modernização Institucional do MERCOSUL – FOCEM, a iniciativa para a Integração da Infraestrutura Regional Sul-americana – IIRSA, e a atuação regional do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES, têm conseguido incorporar o combate às assimetrias na sua operação e qual o alcance dos seus resultados. A pesquisa demonstrou que ainda existem lacunas relevantes nesses instrumentos, mas que não impossibilitaram acertos. Ajustes nos instrumentos são feitos à medida que vão sendo implementados, de forma que os caminhos da integração vão sendo construídos no avançar do ímpeto integracionista. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This thesis aims to evaluate the Brazilian project for regional integration of South American at overcoming asymmetries perspectives. Aims to investigate to what extent some of the key instruments proposed or supported by Brazil, namely the Structural Convergence and Institutional Modernization Fund of MERCOSUR - FOCEM, the initiative for the Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America - IIRSA, and the regional operations of the Brazilian Development Bank - BNDES, have succeeded in incorporating the fight against asymmetries in its operation and what is the scope of their results. The research has shown that there are still significant gaps in these instruments, what did not imply the impossibility to reach significant results. Adjustments are made in the instruments as they are being implemented, so that the paths of integration will be building in advancing the integrationist impetus.

Considerando a força que a narrativa fantástica possui dentro de um contexto latino-americano, busca-se entender ao menos duas vertentes da literatura fantástica recorrentes no bloco: o fantástico moderno e o realismo mágico. Para melhor compreender cada estilo e sua importância para a literatura na América Latina, serão analisados dois contos de Murilo Rubião, representando o fantástico moderno; e dois contos de Gabriel García Márquez, relacionados ao realismo mágico. Desse modo, esta pesquisa é composta por um panorama geral da teoria sobre literatura fantástica, uma breve discussão acerca da relação entre a história e as literaturas latino-americanas, uma apresentação da obra de Murilo Rubião e, por fim, uma análise comparativa entre contos de Rubião e García Márquez. Esta sistematização pretende propiciar uma melhor compreensão do que aproxima e distingue os gêneros, além de permitir entender o que inclui o Brasil nesse contexto latino-americano, e, ao mesmo tempo, perceber o que impede uma classificação simplista e generalizada das diferentes literaturas produzidas pelos países que formam a América Latina. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This dissertation discusses some short stories written by the Brazilian writer Murilo Rubião, focusing on the fantastic feature held by those narratives, in order to demonstrate the way they represent the Brazilian social life in their literary form, considering both that Rubião’s work is articulated to a national literary system and the relation his stories have to the Latin American production in general. Regarding the importance fantastic narrative has inside a Latin American context, this analysis pursues the understanding of at least two different common currents of fantastic literature occurring in this bloc: the Modern Fantastic and the Magical Realism. In order to better understand each genre and their importance to literature in Latin America, this research includes the analysis of two short stories by Murilo Rubião, which are related to Modern Fantastic, as well as two short stories by Gabriel García Márquez, representing the Magical Realism. Thereby, this dissertation is composed by a general perspective of Fantastic Literature’s theory, along with a brief discussion on the relationship between History and Latin American literatures, followed by a punctual presentation of Murilo Rubião’s work and, finally, a comparative analysis of Rubião and García Márquez short stories, as mentioned before. Those steps aim to provide a better comprehension of what approximates and differentiates the genres pointed above. It should also help the reader to identify what includes Brazil in this Latin American setting, at the same time it highlights the importance of avoiding a simplistic and generalized view of distinct national literatures written in Latin American countries.

abstract: Ethnic identity has consistently been associated with Latino youths' psychosocial well-being; however, an area that has received much less attention is how parents' characteristics inform their ethnic socialization efforts and, in turn, youths' ethnic identity. In addition, we know little about how this process unfolds in specific at-risk samples of youth, such as adolescent mothers. Thus, the current prospective study examined how mothers' cultural characteristics informed adolescents' and mothers' reports of ethnic socialization, and how this, in turn, informed adolescents' ethnic identity exploration and resolution among a sample of 193 adolescent mothers and their mothers. In addition, the current study tested whether mothers' ethnic identity affirmation was directly related to adolescents' ethnic identity affirmation over time. Results indicated that mothers' familism was associated with increases in mothers' reports of maternal ethnic socialization, and, in turn, with increases in ethnic identity exploration for foreign-born adolescents, and decreases in ethnic identity exploration for U.S.-born adolescents. In addition, adolescents' reports of familial ethnic socialization were associated with increases in their ethnic identity exploration and resolution. Finally, mothers' ethnic identity affirmation was associated with increases in adolescents' ethnic identity affirmation. Findings are discussed with special attention to the importance of mothers' cultural values in how they socialize their adolescents, and this impact on adolescents' ethnic identity, as well as the implications this study has for interventions focused on bolstering positive outcomes for adolescent mothers. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

abstract: Sexual risk taking is prevalent in adolescence, particularly among Latino teens, and can have serious consequences in the form of contraction of STIs, HIV, and increased risk of unintended pregnancy. Family contexts characterized by conflict and lack of support are antecedents of adolescent sexual risk taking, but evidence elucidating the mechanisms underlying this association is lacking. The current study sought to test two potential pathways to sexual risk taking within the framework of social developmental theory, among a sample of 189 Mexican origin adolescents and their caregivers interviewed in the 7th, 8th, and 12th grades. Structural equation modeling was utilized to examine pathways from 7th grade family risk to age of sexual initiation, number of lifetime sexual partners, and condom nonuse reported in the 12th grade. Deviant peer affiliations and academic engagement at 8th grade were tested as mediators of this relationship for boys and girls. Results confirm the importance of the family context, with family risk exerting direct effects on the number of lifetime sexual partners for both genders, and on age of sexual initiation for females only. Deviant peer affiliations serve as a mediator of family risk for males, but not females. When included in a model alongside deviant peers, academic engagement does not play the hypothesized mediating role between family risk and any of the sexual risk outcomes. Future research ought to consider additional mediators that better account for the relation between family risk and sexual risk taking among females. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Psychology 2012

abstract: Communication skills within dating contexts are developed during the adolescent years, and are associated with a lifelong ability to have satisfying, enduring, and non-violent partnerships. As such, they are currently and increasingly implemented into both more general forms of healthy relationship education, as well as that targeting the prevention of teen dating violence specifically. Reaching Mexican American youth with culturally and developmentally appropriate relationship education, including communication skills, may be particularly important given their earlier transitions to marital and parenting relationships, acculturative stressors that present them with unique coupling challenges, and their higher rates of teen dating violence as compared to European American youth. We know very little about how Mexican American dating couples communicate about areas of conflict. This dissertation research utilizes Bell and Naugle's (2008) framework of interpersonal violence to explore how cultural and developmental considerations may be integrated in order to better understand how communication behaviors contribute to Mexican American middle adolescents' experiences with dating conflict. I use an observational study design in order to 1.) Qualitatively explore the communication strategies used by a sample of committed couples, including integration of culturally- and developmentally-relevant contexts, 2.) Quantitatively examine whether couple-level discrepancies in acculturation are associated with observed negativity, including whether this relationship may be mediated by dissimilar gender-related beliefs, and to 3.) Review empirical findings pertaining to the communication behaviors of Mexican American adolescents and to integrate ecodevelopmental theory in said framework as informed by Papers 1, 2, and literature specific to this topic area. The ultimate aim of this dissertation research is to generate findings that may improve the dating health of Mexican American adolescents living in the United States. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Social Work 2013

abstract: The purpose of the study is to explore the identity development and organizational culture of a student organization, the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations council (NALFO) by implementing a community of practice approach at a large, public university in southwestern United States. The objective is to construct a sustainable camaraderie among the existing Latino fraternal organizations at the university to influence leadership development, work toward a common vision, and a cohesive and systematic approach to collaboration, consequently transforming organizational culture. This study investigates the factors that contribute to and/or inhibit increased communication and collaboration and to describe the experiences of Latino fraternal members who are purposefully engaged in a community of practice. There are 57 fraternal organizations in five umbrella councils at the university, including predominately Caucasian, historically African American, Latino, and Multicultural groups, whose platforms are commonly leadership, scholarship, and philanthropy. This action research examines the experiences of six NALFO members individually and working as a community with the guidance of a mentor (the researcher). The researcher employs use of an anonymous initial and post electronic survey, a participant personal statement, an intentional and purposeful community of practice, a semi-structured individual interview, and focus groups to collect data. Findings suggest that length of membership and fraternal experience influence participant responses; however, the themes remain consistent. Building relationships, perception (by members and outsiders), identity development, organizational management, and challenging perspectives (from outside influences) are factors that influence the organizational culture of the organization. On the post electronic survey all participants indicate that the implementation of an intentional community of practice can benefit the organization by encouraging participation and increasing communication. While participants suggest activities for encouraging member engagement, they determine that actual participation would be dependent on individual motivation. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.

abstract: The study of non-U.S. citizens in criminal justice system outcomes has often been neglected in the sentencing literature. When citizenship is considered, there are generally no distinctions made within this group. The research fails to consider differences according to legal status, race/ethnicity, nationality and other distinctive markers that might play a role in sentencing outcomes. Using federal sentencing data collected by the United States Sentencing Commission for fiscal year 2006 through fiscal year 2008, this study examines the effect of offender citizenship status, legal status, and national origin on the likelihood of imprisonment and length of imprisonment for offenders convicted of drug offenses. The current study considers differences among foreign-born and Latino immigrant subgroups (e.g., Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, and Mexican nationals). The key findings in this dissertation include: (1) non-U.S. citizens have greater odds of imprisonment than U.S. citizens. However, non-U.S. citizen offenders receive significantly shorter prison terms relative to U.S. citizen offenders; (2) undocumented immigrants are more likely to be incarcerated compared to similarly situated authorized immigrants and U.S. citizens. However, legal status does not have an effect on sentence length; and (3) with respect to national origin, Mexican nationals are significantly more likely than Colombians to be incarcerated and are given significantly longer prison sentences than Dominican nationals. The implications of these findings and future research are addressed in the concluding chapter. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Criminology and Criminal Justice 2013

abstract: This ethnographic study contributes to the literature on Latin@ youth in the US by focusing on the experiences of Latin@ youth in Arizona and their identity management practices. The data from 9 months of field observations and 11 unstructured interviews provides a vivid picture of the youth's daily encounters. Using a thematic analysis this study reveals the youth's experiences in occupying predominantly white spaces, managing privilege, and managing negative stereotypes. The youth's involvement at El Centro, an Arizona nonprofit organization, provided them a safe space in which they created a familial environment for themselves and their peers. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Communication 2014

From the understanding of how art criticism construes the work of the italian artist based in Brazil, this work investigates the appropriation of Confaloni as an icon of modernity and associates him with the founding myth of the city of Goiania. The paper deals with the issues of modernity, modernization and modernism as bridges for the understanding of the modern project of Brazil, considering as the main point the concept of conservative modernization with emphasis on cultural. To achieve this goal, it observes the context of modernization of the city of São Paulo during the first half of the twentieth century so that one can rethink how Goias assumed the demands of modernization during the 1950's and the 1960's. It analyzes the fortuity of the first decades of the construction of the city, the activities related to the creation of the Escola Goiana de Belas Artes (EGBA) and the debate of scholars and artists around a modernist campaign, in which Confaloni is a fundamental piece in the construction of the reasoning of the new, founded on cultural bases. From an idea of the sacralization of the human and the humanization of the sacred in the artistic thinking of Nazareno Confaloni, this paper makes an analytical interpretation of his works based on historical events, exploring the tensions between his religious and artistic formation, confronting them with artistic movements from Europe and Brazil, Besides the religious and socio-political thinking in Latin America. In addition to its construction as a modern inaugural artist, the research points to Confaloni's appropriations of the Brazilian and Latin American conjunctures, evaluanting them as fundamental for their constitution as a religious and as an artist. / A pesquisa propõe investigar apropriação do pensamento artístico do pintor italiano Frei Nazareno Confaloni (1917-1977) e sua atuação no contexto da modernidade em Goiás a partir da década de 1950, observando sua relação com os intelectuais ligados às instituições culturais do Estado, e consequentemente com os projetos de renovação artística, característica do ambiente artístico goiano do início dos anos de 1950. Parte do entendimento de como a crítica de arte interpreta o conjunto da obra do artista italiano radicado no Brasil, investiga a apropriação de Confaloni como ícone de modernidade e o associa ao mito fundador da Cidade de Goiânia. O trabalho aborda as questões que tratam de modernidade, modernização e modernismo como pontes para o entendimento do projeto moderno do Brasil, considerando como ponto principal o conceito de modernização conservadora com ênfase no cultural. Para tanto, observa o contexto de modernização da cidade de São Paulo durante a primeira metade do século XX para que se possa repensar a forma como Goiás assumiu os reclames de modernização nos idos dos anos de 1950 e 1960. Analisa a conjuntura das primeiras décadas da Construção da cidade, as atividades relacionadas à criação da Escola Goiana de Belas Artes (EGBA)e o debate de intelectuais e artistas em torno de uma campanha modernista, na qual Confaloni é peça fundamental na construção do discurso do novo fundado em bases culturais. A partir de uma ideia de Sacralização do humano e humanização do sagrado no pensamento artístico de Nazareno Confaloni faz uma interpretação analítica de suas obras baseada em acontecimentos históricos, explorando as tensões entre sua formação religiosa e artística, confrontando-as com os movimentos artísticos europeus e brasileiros e o pensamento religioso sociopolítico na América Latina. Para além de sua construção como artista inaugural moderno, a pesquisa aponta as apropriações de Confaloni da conjuntura brasileira e latino-americana, avaliando-as como fundamentais para sua constituição como religioso e como artista.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivos: em primeiro lugar, arrolar, traduzir e analisar epigramas de Marcial em que a mulher é objeto de invectiva; em segundo lugar, visa a rastrear, na tradição anterior ao poeta, o tema da misoginia, desde Hesíodo, no célebre episódio de Pandora (Teogonia, vv. 570- 612), passando pelos poetas iâmbicos arcaicos (Arquíloco, Hipônax e Semônides), até o uso que poetas latinos, como Catulo, Horácio e Juvenal, fizeram do tema, entendido agora como tópos. Em terceiro lugar, o presente trabalho pretende observar de que maneira o epigrama, ou melhor, sua possibilidade invectiva, se apropriou da misoginia, adequando-a às características principais do gênero, a saber, brevidade e agudeza, e, finalmente, tentar demonstrar que o vitupério a mulheres em Marcial é regulado e percebido mediante práticas retóricas (como os progymnásmata) e alguns trópoi (como a écfrase), que à época do poeta participavam da formação educacional do cidadão. Nesse sentido, pretendemos estudar particularmente as relações que a invectiva mantém, nos epigramas de Marcial, com a construção de imagens viciosas de mulher e suas relações com o gênero epidítico. / The aims of the present work are first, to list, translate and analyse Martial\'s epigrams in which women are the object of invective; second, to try to investigate, in the former tradition, the theme of misogyny, both in Greece (from Hesiod, in the celebrated episode of Pandora (Teogony, vv. 570-612), to the archaic iambic poets, Archilochus, Hipponax and Semonides), and in Rome (how misogyny, as a tópos, is treatead by Catullus, Horace and Juvenal). In the third place, the present research intends to study in what manner epigram, or more precisely, its vituperative possibility, appropriated the theme of misogyny, adapting it to the main characteristics of the genre, such as conciseness and acuteness. Finally, we attempt to demonstrate that the vituperation against women, in Martial, is regulated and perceived through various rhetorical practices (such as the progymnásmata) and trópoi (such as ekphrasis) that at the poet\'s time were an important part of the citizen\'s education. Therein, we intend to study, in particular, the analogies that the invective maintain, in Martial\'s epigrams, non only with the construction of images in which women are corrupted, but also with the relationship between these images and the epidictic genre.
