The V Formation is a novelette which explores second-person narration, complex familial relationships, and grief. It questions what standards society sets for families, parents in particular, and what happens when your kin does not conform to these standards. As you grow older, how are you limited or how do you have authority in creating your family?

I denna undersökning har vi utforskat hur andrapersonsvy kan definieras och appliceras i film. Eftersom att definitionen för andrapersonsvy inte är etablerad, utgår vi ifrån spelindustrins definitioner av första- och tredjepersonsvy för att bilda en teori för hur det kan definieras. Denna utgångspunkt jämförs och förhålls mot användande av termerna första-, andra- och tredjeperson i grammatik, litteratur, narrativ och filosofi. Med hjälp av undersökningsmetoden grundad teori, Donna J. Haraways teknovetenskapliga begrepp situerad kunskap och diffraktion, Karen Barads diskussion om diffraktion, samt Michael Pauens diskussion om intersubjektivitet, resonerar vi för hur andrapersonsvy kan definieras och appliceras. Vi bildar en teori för hur andrapersonsvy kan definieras: Andrapesonsvyn är positionerad i ögonen hos personen som är delaktig i interaktionen/situationen med förstapersonen. Teorin anpassas därefter för applicerande i film: Andrapersonsvy positionerar kameran i ögonen hos den person som protagonisten interagerar med. Utifrån teorin har vi skapat filmer med andrapersonsvy, och prövat andrapersonsvy i verkligheten. Vi har då sett hur andrapersonsvy påverkar och diffrakterar filmmediet, genom att ge en ny vy in i mediet. Med denna undersökning finns mycket som kan utvecklas och förbättras med definitionen av andrapersonsvy, samt hur det kan appliceras. / In this research we have explored how second-person view can be defined and applied in film. Since there is no established definition for second-person view, we originate from the gaming industry’s definitions of first- and third-person view to form a theory on how it can be defined. This origin is compared and relativized to the use of the terms first-, second- and third-person in grammar, literature, narrative and philosophy. With the use of the research methodology grounded theory, Donna J. Haraway’s technoscientific concept situated knowledges and diffraction, Karen Barad’s discussion on diffraction, and Michael Pauen’s diskussion on intersubjectivity, we argue for how second-person view can be defined and applied. We form a theory on how second-person view can be defined: Second-person view is positioned in the eyes of the person involved in the interaction/situation with the first-person. The theory is then adapted to be applied in film: Second-person view positions the camera in the eyes of the person that the protagonist is interacting with. From this theory we have made films with second-person view, and tested second-person view in reality. We then have seen how second-person view effects and diffracts the film medium, by giving a new view into the medium. From this research, there is much that can be evolved and improved with the definition of second-person view, and how it can be applied.

Propomos o estudo da realização do objeto direto no Português Brasileiro (PB) na referência ao interlocutor, a partir de um corpus formado essencialmente por textos produzidos por alunos do Ensino Fundamental II de uma escola particular da cidade de São Paulo. Estes textos consistem em uma proposta de redação direcionada à produção do objeto direto na referência ao interlocutor, orientados aos registros formal e informal da língua. Objetivamos identificar o tipo de complemento produzido pelos alunos nos dois registros. Interessa-nos investigar, sobretudo, as formas pronominais acusativas de 2a pessoa bem como a posição dos clíticos para estabelecer diálogo com os trabalhos que tratam das formas pronominais acusativas de 3a pessoa. Para isto, utilizamos o método variacionista de análise quantitativa, conforme estabelecido por Labov, e já consagrado em inúmeros estudos. Os resultados obtidos serão norteados pelas hipóteses descritas ao longo da introdução deste estudo, e a partir da confirmação de algumas e descarte de outras, buscaremos estabelecer uma adequação descritiva suficiente para comprovar o desaparecimento do clítico acusativo de 3a pessoa aplicado em referência ao interlocutor (Ramos 1999), substituído pela forma \"te\", ou para realinhar o clítico \"o\" no sistema pronominal da variedade paulistana do português brasileiro. / The aim of this study of the effectiveness of the direct object in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) at the interlocutor\'s reference, from a corpus essentially made by texts produced by students from a private school at São Paulo city. These texts consist in a request for composition directed to the production of the direct object at the interlocutor\'s reference, guided to the formal and informal registers of the language. The objective defined here is identifying the kind of complement that is produced by the students at the formal and informal registers. The main intention is investigate the second person accusatives pronominal forms as well as the clitics position, to establish connection with studies that work with the third person accusatives pronominal forms. In this sense, it was used the quantitative method of analysis, as establish by Labov, and already considerate in many studies. The results will be guided by the hypotheses described at the introduction of this study and from the confirmation of some hypotheses and the discard of others there will be establish a suit descriptive sufficient to corroborate the useless of the third person accusative clitic applied at the interlocutor\'s reference (Ramos 1999), replaced by the form \"te\" or to align the clitic \"o\" at the pronominal system of varieties of the Brazilian Portuguese from São Paulo.

The Normativity of the Mental and the Role of the Second Person’s Standpoint. On Davidson’s Footsteps”. I offer in this paper an elucidation of the normativity of the mental in terms of the second person’s standpoint, with the hope of opening a conceptual horizon that will allow us to go beyond Donald Davidson. Aiming at this, the paper is structured as follows. In the first part I present Davidson’s original response to the mind/body problem and reconstruct his argument in favour of the irreducibility of mental concepts thesis. In the second part I deal with the feature that the peculiarity of the mental bears in his system, that is, normativity. In the third section I explore and assess the davidsonian treatment of the first, second and third person standpoints with the aim of finally narrowing down my proposal. / En este trabajo ofrezco una elucidación de la normatividad de lo mental en términos de la perspectiva de segunda persona, con la esperanza de abrir un horizonte conceptual que nos permita ir más allá de Donald Davidson. A tal efecto, el artículo tiene la siguiente estructura. En la primera parte presento su original respuesta al problema mente/cuerpo y reconstruyo su argumentación a favor de la tesis de la irreducibilidad de los conceptos mentales. En la segunda parte me ocupo del rasgo que, en su sistema, porta la peculiaridad de lo mental, a saber: la normatividad. En la tercera sección exploro y evalúo el tratamiento davidsoniano de las perspectivas de primera, segunda y tercera persona con vistas a precisar, finalmente, mi propuesta.
