The purpose of the present study was to examine, based on audio samples in both languages, the accuracy of diagnosis of the presence or absence of stuttering in a bilingual Spanish English (SE) child who may or may not stutter by bilingual SE speech- language pathologists (SLPs) living in Texas (n=14). This study also aimed to determine what speech characteristics (if any) influenced SLPs’ judgment of whether or not a bilingual SE child was a stutterer, as well as to explore whether personal characteristics of the bilingual SLPs who completed the ratings (i.e., years experience, confidence in diagnosing an SE child with stuttering, educational history on the topics of stuttering and/or bilingualism) uniquely impacted the accuracy of their diagnosis. Information gained from this study suggests that the atypically frequent (in comparison to monolingual children) word and phrases repetitions produced by bilingual SE children who do not stutter may put this population at risk for misdiagnosis of stuttering. Results also indicate that the accuracy of identification of a bilingual SE child who does not stutter is not influenced by any of the personal characteristics listed above. Rather, there seems to be an overall lack of knowledge regarding the speech disfluencies that differentiate bilingual SE children who do and do not stutter. Thus, the preliminary data from this investigation warrants a follow-up study of the same nature on a nationwide scale. / text

Having no established structure, technique or media, performance art is here understood in relation to the context where it is inserted or from where it emerges. In order to base the discussion in more concrete examples, some groups identified as part of an alternative spaces movement in New York will be analyzed and contrasted with other works associated with the notion of overidentification. Each generation of alternative spaces can be related to specific conditions that depend on economy, technology and the level of engagement with the mainstream. It is very likely that alternative strategies have been stimulated, cooptated and subverted to serve economic purposes forcing contemporary practices to find new strategies of resistance such as the deviated use of technological devices or the overidentification as described by Slavoj i ek. This thesis proposes a crossdisciplinary approach, suggesting to look at the performer as a sort of cultural hacker who attempts to manipulate the actual manipulation. / Este trabalho propõe uma leitura da performance art como forma de reivindicar a condicao do artista como um produtor do espaco , buscando um engajamento mais democratico com estruturas sociais, através de poéticas, meios e técnicas artísticas que dialogam com o contexto do qual emergem e no qual incidem. O texto se estrutura a partir da analise de dois posicionamentos opostos, tomando como referência os espacos alternativos de Nova York, a partir dos anos 60, e a ideia de superidentificacao. A transformacao dos espacos alternativos e das condicões econômicas e de producao d o s a r t i s t a s é p e s q u i s a d a e m r e l a c a o a o desenvolvimento da cultura digital, e das formas de economia a ela relacionadas, considerando também as diferentes formas de cooptacao, controle direto e indireto e a relacao destes projetos com algumas formas de subvencao. Em contraste com o posicionamento alternativo, a nocao de superidentificacao, teorizada por Slavoj i ek é trazida à tona, buscando investigar possíveis formas de resistência que se fundam nao mais em oposicao aos sistemas criticados, mas a partir de sua propria estrutura, funcionando como uma espécie de hacking cultural.
