Title: Arendt and the politics of theory and practice: Beyond ivory towers and philosopher-kings Authors: Sindic, Denis, 1974- Abstract: This paper draws on Hannah Arendt’s political thought to question the relationship between theory and practice in psychology and the public role of psychologists. One of Arendt’s main contributions to political theory was to underline the specificity of political action, and to stress that politics should not be ruled by pure theoretical reason or reduced to the technical management of social issues. Applied to psychology, a view of the relationship between theory and practice that ignores this specificity may well lead to efficacious applications, but it has a certain number of politically problematic consequences. These include the a priori disqualification of opinions, a loss of common sense, the a priori definition of the world as a set of variables, and the a priori definition of people as “material” to be shaped rather than as political actors. Such consequences are problematic insofar as they can lead to the exclusion of people from the public realm and undermine the very possibility of genuine political action. These points are illustrated and discussed through examples drawn from psychoanalysis and experimental social psychology.

Title: Pintura e metáfora Authors: Antunes, Sara Pereira, 1981- Abstract: This theoretic and Pratical dissertation goes in order to explore Painting as a subjetc of installation possibility from a specific place to a site-specific. Also related to the metaphoric dimension that contemporary art still wants nowadays to structure itself and materialize itself. The main intention is to achieve the origins and processes and to understand an analytical description as well, due to the proposal of painting as an installation generated of the theme metaphor through Painting, regarding contemplation as an intermediate thing. In short: the achievement of formal intermediate representation of a body/form, flexible and independent that referring to a place, finds its territory in another that precedes it. We can consider that the whole investigation goes around concepts of overlap and, what is understood as an essential meaning: see painting as pictoral form/body and the physical space that she can claim. For the present research are exposed multiple objects of inquiry that best exemplify and explain the genesis and motivations of this practical work, such as works from other periods (historical or artistic), authors, and critical / philosophical theories related to Painting, and exhibited characteristics similar to those themes, meaning of formal of what may be a "body pictorial" free of base support, or of it’s conceptual nature as regard of the generated contents for such investigation Description: Tese de mestrado, Pintura (Variante Teórico - prática, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2013

Title: Uma caricatura de país Authors: Olimpio, Ana Filipa Pereira Miguel, 1989- Abstract: The dissertation made in the context of the Drawing Master Degree with the theme: Uma caricatura de país (Caricature of a country), wants to investigate the history of caricature and its protagonists in Portugal, to create a practical work about social and habits caricature and has the purpose to study caricature and humour as an artistic expression. The caricatures introduced in the personal project want to contribute to the portuguese social criticism, portraying the everyday of portuguese people, idealizing typical characters with humour like contemporary Zé Povinhos. With a basis in a bibliographic review and in the critical observation of the originals, we wanted to search informations about the history of caricature in Portugal since the 19th century until now, analyzing lives and works of the main Portuguese caricaturists. We also developed a study about the history and the various definitions of caricature, of phisiognomics and humour, with a basis in the theories of the most relevant authors from Aristoteles to Freud. In the drawing practice, has been used the Nicolaides method, The Natural Way to Draw, with the purpose of exploring new ways to represent caricated characters and situations, focusing this method in a personal graphic expression. During the study and the realization of the theoretical work, the conclusion was thatcaricature passed through various transformations in time, it evolved artistically, it started being spread not just through newspapers, it gained a new space in the artistic scenery, conquering values that were closer to the artistic status. A caricatura ou o desenho humorístico tem a importante tarefa de retratar e criticar os problemas de uma sociedade. A sociedade contemporânea necessita da caricatura, para se rir de si própria, justificando-se, assim, o projecto humorístico final. The caricature or the humorous drawing has the important objective of criticizing and talking about the problems of a society. The contemporary society needs caricature to laugh of itself, justifying the final humoristic project Description: Tese de mestrado, Desenho, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2013

Title: Determinantes psicofisiológicos da resposta ao stress : aspectos do desenvolvimento e adaptação ao cancro da mama Authors: Eusébio, Susana Filipa Gonçalves, 1983- Abstract: A investigação tem sustentado que os estilos de vinculação, relativamente estáveis ao longo do desenvolvimento, parecem influenciar o modo como os indivíduos respondem a situações de stress na vida adulta. Os esquemas cognitivos de vinculação insegura, associados a emoções negativas, parecem frequentemente relacionar-se com a doença física ou mental, verificando-se nesse contexto mecanismos psicobiológicos de regulação mais primitivos que se constituem como factores de vulnerabilidade face a stressors. Varios estudos apoiam a hipótese de que o desenvolvimento de estratégias de regulação emocional menos eficazes para regular afectos negativos se relacionam com padrões de reactividade fisiológica e com estratégias de coping menos positivas, que podem prejudicar a adaptação em situação de doença e promover a sua progressão. A presente investigação, partindo de um modelo de desenvolvimento dos sistemas de auto-regulação na interacção com as experiências precoces, pretende caracterizar e relacionar a vulnerabilidade ao stress e a adaptação à doença física em função do estilo de vinculação e explorar as interacções entre dimensões psicofisiológicas, emocionais e comportamentais, comparando mulheres com cancro da mama (N=30) com mulheres saudáveis (N=31) e assim contribuir para um modelo tentativo de vulnerabilidade psicossomática. Os resultados sugerem que vinculações tendencialmente mais inseguras estão relacionadas com estratégias de regulação emocional menos adequadas e padrões de reactividade fisiológica aumentada associados a uma adaptação menos positiva.; Research has argued that attachment styles, relatively stable throughout life, seem to influence how individuals respond to stress in adulthood. The cognitive schemata of insecure attachment, associated with negative emotions, often seem to relate to physical or mental illness, showing that psychobiological self-regulation mechanisms constitute factors of vulnerability to stressors. Several studies support the hypothesis that the development of less effective emotion regulation strategies are related to patterns of increased physiological reactivity and negative coping strategies, which may hinder adaptation in situations of illness and even promoting their progression. This research, based on a model of of self-regulation systems developed in interaction with early experiences, wants to characterize vulnerability to stress and adjustment to physical illness as a function of attachment style and explore the interactions between psychophysiological, emotional and behavioral dimensions, comparing women with breast cancer (N = 30) with healthy women (N = 31) and thus contribute to a tentative model of psychosomatic vulnerability. The results suggest insecure attachment patterns are related to less effective emotion regulation strategies and increased physiological reactivity and to negative adjustment outcomes.
