Este trabajo quiere celebrar el cincuenta aniversario del estreno del filme Sergeant Rutledge (El Sargento negro), mostrando cómo se desarrollan las relaciones interpersonales en esta película. Estudia la ontología y la gnoseología del filme, para comprender por qué John Ford es un auténtico poeta clásico desde la perspectiva de Platón y Aristóteles. Además la película es un verdadero mito filosófico, constructor y transmisor de aquello que Aristóteles llama en la Poética (1451b) "lo universal". Por último, esta obra de Ford es crucial como vehículo de una tesis antirracista e integradora de los afroamericanos, en el contexto de sus luchas por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos en la década de los cincuenta y sesenta del siglo XX. / The author of this article wishes to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the première of Sergeant Rutledge, showing how interpersonal relation ships are developed in this film. He studies the ontology and gnoseology of the film, to understand how John Ford is a real classical poet from the perspective of Plato and Aristotle. The film is also a true philosophical myth which builds and transmits the so-called Poetics of Aristotle (1451b), "the Universal". This work of Ford is essential as a vehicle of an anti-racist and integrating view of Afro-Americans in USA, in the context of the civil right's figths of 50' and 60' decades of XX century.

The diploma thesis presents an alternative to the traditional representation of terrorism in the field of international relations. Terrorism is interpreted through the Fukuyamian-Hegelian prism of thymos, which allows it to be integrated into the framework of an anormatively defined global civil society. On a strategic-tactical level contemporary terrorism is identified with guerilla. On these foundations new primary and secondary categories for terrorism analysis are laid out, and possibilities of optimizing its strategies and tactics are suggested. The attention is then focused on the overlaps of such alternative conception on states - which so gain new possibilities in counter-strategies, adoption of methods or silent cooperation - and the non-governmental organizations. Both the analytical and political applications of the proposed approach are demonstrated in the two appendices to the thesis.
