Title: O conflito armado da Colômbia e o Continuum da violência: acordo de paz, violência sexual e patriarcado Abstract: This study analyzes sexual violence related to the Colombian armed conflict through the lens of the continuum of violence theory and feminist scholarship on patriarchy. It adopts the hypothesis that sexual violence, employed by all armed groups throughout the conflict, did not end with the 2016 Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP, as it is embedded within a continuum of violence sustained by patriarchal structures upheld by the state. Initially, a theoretical review is developed on peace agreements, patriarchy, and sexual violence, drawing on feminist authors who conceptualize gender-based violence as a structural and continuous phenomenon. Subsequently, a historical contextualization of the Colombian conflict is presented, highlighting its main actors, dynamics, and impacts on the civilian population. Finally, the study analyzes the implementation of the Peace Agreement from a gender perspective and examines patterns of sexual violence both during and after the conflict, based on empirical data and reports from international organizations. It concludes that, despite normative advances, the Agreement is insufficient to eradicate sexual violence, as it fails to dismantle the structural foundations of patriarchy that sustain the continuum of violence.

Title: A dimensão regional dos recursos minerais no Afeganistão: atores-chave e o papel do país no Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the exploitation and governance of mineral resources in Afghanistan in light of contemporary geopolitical dynamics and the theories of Uneven and Combined Development and the Resource Curse. Although the country has vast reserves of strategic minerals, such as lithium, copper, iron, and rare earths, which are essential for the global energy transition, the research shows that this potential does not translate into sustainable development. On the contrary, mineral exploitation has reproduced historical patterns of dependence, institutional fragility, and socio-environmental inequality. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative approach based on documentary analysis of international agreements, reports from multilateral organizations, and data from institutions such as the USGS, World Bank, and EITI, complemented by semi-structured interviews with experts from the Afghan mineral sector. The triangulation between documentary and empirical sources highlights how the actions of external powers, especially China, Russia, and the United States, shape Afghanistan's subordinate insertion into global value chains. It is concluded that only institutional strengthening, combined with transparency, community inclusion, and economic diversification, can transform Afghanistan's mineral wealth into a vector for sustainable development and economic sovereignty.

Title: Relatos de hisaeng (sacrifício): o corpo como articulador afetivo e intergeracional da agência política das mulheres zainichi Abstract: Zainichi refers to Koreans residing in Japan, a term used to describe those who migrated during the colonial period (1910–1945) and their descendants. Within this diaspora, young Korean women left their homeland and faced harsh living conditions shaped by colonialism, war, ethnic discrimination, and gender-based violence. Despite these overlapping structures of power, zainichi women found openings to act, collectively producing alternative forms of agency that ensured the material and subjective continuity of subsequent generations. This study aims to identify such forms of agency through a theoretical framework informed by scholars such as Judith Butler, Saba Mahmood, Mari Luz Esteban, Sara Ahmed, and Cecilia Macón, who foreground the role of the body and affects in everyday socio-political processes. The research engages with post-structuralist feminism, the sociology of affects, and feminist anthropology, proposing an approach that recognizes the complexity of lives situated at the margins of International Relations, in contrast to the binary, liberal, and Western assumptions that shape the field. The analysis is based on Jackie J. Kim-Wachutka’s ethnographic research, interpreted through Esteban’s methodology of bodily itineraries and affect theory. The central hypothesis is that the suffering and sacrifice of first-generation women resignified zainichi female subjectivity in affective and discursive ways, shaping subsequent generations collectively. This process articulated an intergenerational affective body capable of enacting different forms of agency, whether subversive or not, within national and transnational power structures. By highlighting forms of agency often overlooked by approaches centered on rationality and institutional action, this research contributes to expanding understandings of political participation and social transformation in contexts marked by gender inequality, migration, and violence. In doing so, it engages critically with contemporary agendas on gender equity and the recognition of marginalized experiences.

Title: Crianças que migram: um estudo sobre a participação infantil na integração de famílias refugiadas e portadoras de visto humanitário no Brasil Abstract: This study investigates the spaces of participation of children in situations of forced displacement in Brazil, analyzing their active role in the local integration processes of their families. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Childhood Studies, the research adopts social cartography as a methodology to map children’s trajectories and mediations. The analysis shows that, despite adult-centered structures and a context marked by gaps in public policies, children exercise agency by acting as translators, cultural mediators, and facilitators of access to rights, thus leading family reintegration processes. Their participation, however, is ambivalent: experienced both as recognition and as burden, and deeply shaped by intersections of gender, race, and nationality. The school emerges as a central and contradictory locus in this process, simultaneously a space of reception, language learning, and sociability, and a stage for discrimination and xenophobia. The research concludes that local integration is largely sustained by children’s strategies that fill institutional gaps, shifting onto families responsibilities that should be borne by the state. The findings reinforce the need for intersectoral public policies that, grounded in listening to children, guarantee their rights and support their families, recognizing them as legitimate and fundamental social actors for just integration.
