In this context, this study aims to analyze how older people are discursively constructed in reports produced by international humanitarian organizations and how these constructions may contribute to their visibility, protection, or, conversely, to the reproduction of situations of neglect and invisibility. To this end, a qualitative and interpretive research was conducted, drawing on Bakhtinian language studies, the concept of ageism, and International Humanitarian Law. The corpus consists of three reports: No One Is Spared: Abuses Against Older People in Armed Conflict, by Human Rights Watch; Falling Through the Cracks: Older People in Conflict Situations, by Dorcas; and Older Persons in Armed Conflict and Peacebuilding, by Amnesty International. The analysis focused on the discursive forms used to explain why older people do not flee situations of conflict, considering three main dimensions: individual choice, structural obstacles, and physical or psychological limitations. The findings demonstrate that, although the reports recognize concrete vulnerabilities, such as mobility difficulties, illness, lack of resources, inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient social protection, they also employ constructions that associate older people's decision to remain with individual choice, attachment to possessions, and an inability to adapt. Such formulations may shift attention away from structural conditions toward characteristics attributed to old age itself, thereby reproducing stereotypes related to passivity, dependence, and incapacity. It is concluded that the reports not only describe the experiences of older people in armed conflicts but also participate in the construction of meanings concerning this group and its possibilities for agency and protection. Therefore, discourse analysis highlights the importance of considering the ethical and political effects of language in the formulation of humanitarian responses and public policies, contributing to efforts to address ageism and promote protection practices that are more attentive to the complexity of aging. 2026-03-11T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/50255 Title: O Sistema Patriarcal Neoconfucionista e a Representação de gênero nos doramas sul-coreanos Abstract: This study analyzes how South Korean dramas represent and reconfigure gender roles in dialogue with the neoconfucian patriarchal order, investigating the persistence of this system of values in South Korea. It is based on the understanding of neoconfucianism as a system of values that historically structured gender roles in the country and that, despite processes of modernization, continues to influence social expectations directed at women. The research adopts a qualitative approach, employing a sequential comparative analysis of selected scenes from the dramas What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? (2018) and When Life Gives You Tange- rines (2025). The analytical focus is organized around three central axes: work, motherhood, and romantic relationships, allowing observation of how these audiovisual narratives repro- duce, challenge, or reconfigure patriarchal values grounded in neoconfucianism. The results indicate that although the dramas feature more autonomous female protagonists and incorporate discourses associated with gender equality, these productions do not promote a structural rup- ture with the patriarchal order. Rather, they function as spaces of symbolic negotiation, in which movements of contestation coexist with mechanisms that maintain gender inequalities. It is concluded that such representations reflect the tension between continuity and transformation that characterizes contemporary South Korean society. 2026-03-10T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/50080 Title: A Territorial tort exception e seu uso pelos Estados: entre o costume internacional e as regras de coexistência Abstract: State jurisdictional immunity constitutes a rule of customary international law, founded upon the principle of the sovereign equality of States. Throughout the development of this rule, however, exceptions have emerged to reconcile State sovereignty with other values protected under international law, among them the territorial tort exception, which allows civil claims for compensation against foreign States for damages or death occurring within the territory of the forum State. This article aims to investigate whether this exception is a rule of customary international law. To this end, it adopts a qualitative approach based on a literature review and documentary analysis, examining domestic legislations, international treaties, UN resolutions, documents of the International Law Commission (ILC) and decisions of domestic and international courts. The identification of customary international law is conducted according to the ILC's methodology established in the Draft Conclusions on Identification of Customary International Law (2018), through the analysis of State Practice and Opinio Juris. The findings are then interpreted in light of Hedley Bull's English School theory, seeking to determine whether the territorial tort exception may be understood as a shared norm among States, even if not yet consolidated as customary international law. The study concludes that, although the evidence reveals a significant expansion of the practice of the territorial exception, there is still insufficient uniformity to characterize it as a customary rule. Nevertheless, its expansion allows it to be understood as a rule of coexistence within International Society, reflecting an emerging norm aimed at protecting victims' right to reparation. 2026-07-30T00:00:00Z
