Análise das variações da linha de costa na Ilha de Mosqueiro- PA ao longo de 17 anos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-24) BRAGA, Carlos Alberto Oliveira; OLIVEIRA, Francisco de Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8386440288477782
The average rates of coastline variation are one of the best indicators to determine the trend of the oscillatory behavior of any part of the coastline over time. The multi-temporal study of the coastline dynamics of the beach segments of Mosqueiro Island, PA, using the Landsat and Sentinel series of satellite imagery, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the European Space Agency (ESA) with the aid of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), demonstrated that during the period from 2001 to 2018, the total linear mean change for all beach segments was -81.3 m at a rate of -9.67 m / year. The average linear retreat was - 160.77 m, while the average linear advance was 79.47 m, indicating a clear erosion tendency of the Mosqueiro Island coast. From the 11 beach segments analyzed (Baia do Sol, Paraíso, Marahú, Carananduba, São Francisco, Ariramba, Murubira, Porto Arthur, Bishop / Praia Grande, Bitar), in the western part of the Island, 06 (São Francisco, Ariramba, Murubira, Porto Arthur, Bishop / Praia Grande and Bitar) showed a trend of retreat of their coastlines, presenting average rates of variation from -1.00 m / year to -3.31 m / year, the highest rate belonging to the Bishop segment /Big beach. The segments of Baía do Sol, Paraíso, Marahú, Carananduba and Farol / Chapéu Virado were the only ones that presented a tendency to advance in their coastlines, presenting values of average rates varying from 0.30 m / year to 1.74 m / year. In addition to the study of the behavior of the coastline of the western part of Mosqueiro Island, the classification of the physical vulnerability to the coastal erosion of the Island was carried out. In general, the coastal zones of the island bathed by Guajará Bay, Furo das Marinhas and Furo do Maguari were classified as "high to very high", with the exception of some sectors located in the northwest, northeast and southeast of the island. were classified as "low to moderate" vulnerability. The most localized areas in the center of the island not directly impacted by oceanographic variables were classified as "very low to moderate"vulnerability, in addition to some contiguous areas that were classified as "high" vulnerability.

Análise dos riscos e da vulnerabilidade socioambiental urbana, face ao desenvolvimento desordenado e a pressão aos recursos hídricos em Belém-PA
(Revistas Brasileiras Publicações de Periódicos e Editora Ltda., 2020-04) CARVALHO, Ana Carla Leite; ROCHA, Gilberto de Miranda
Studies have been demonstrated how the disorderly process of urbanization can be harmful to a city, bringing in a lot of cases incalculable damages to environment and for the society in a largest context. The pressure above the water resources is able to change even the water cycle (Garcia & Sanches, 2009), damaging the natural water process of renewal and the availability of water to the same society that generates the impacts. Belém and its metropolitan area has been growing exponentially bringing several problems to the population and environment. Carvalho (2015) understands the environmental risks as a result of “the association between the natural risks and the risks arising from natural processes aggravated by human activity and land occupation”. Therefore, risks and vulnerability caused by natural phenomenons and/or by human activity, historically, are considered impacts, that revealed in different areas or places, establish as places without previous planning, mainly affecting low-income populations. It can be observed that Belém, despite being in a region predominantly abundant in fresh water, due to the urbanization process that has been facing, may suffer from compromised water resources, needing urgent measures to raise awareness and direct management actions for the solution of conflicting situations of qualitative availability of compromised waters in the urban basins, minimizing possible risk situations and environmental vulnerability for he populations around these areas (Macedo,2003). Thus, it becomes necessary the urgent definition of strategies to promote a better interaction between the environmental and urban politics and minimize possible institutional, political and conceptual barriers, also establishing a broad debate on how to direct such policies and encouraging society's participation in dealing with the public authorities to have a more harmonious relationship with the surrounding water resources.

Avaliação de risco ambiental por contaminação metálica e material orgânico em sedimentos da bacia do Rio Aurá, Região Metropolitana de Belém - PA
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2013-03) SIQUEIRA, Gilmar Wanzeller; APRILE, Fábio Marques
The Aurá River basin is situated in the Belém Metropolitan region, between the municipalities of Belém and Ananindeua, where the rate of population growth has increased without any social and environmental control. The region is intensely exploited and the more frequent environmental problems are deforestation, erosion, flooding, water pollution and contamination, especially by heavy metals and organic compounds (OC). Geochemistry behavior (Al, Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni and Cu) and OC levels were determined in the 30 sampling sites between 2008 and 2010 in the bottom sediments of the river. There is an uncontrolled sanitary landfill situated at the north of the Aurá River responsible, in part, by the metallic contamination of the sediments. The environmental stress is classic in the region, and it has resulted from anthropic activities, which has transported unconsolidated material associated to metals to the Aurá. The variables studied were classified on the transport mechanisms and sources (allochthonous and/or autochthonous). The results showed that the main contribution of ions Al and Fe was the sanitary landfill; Mn and Ni was the adjacent soils; Cr was modified (III/VI) by the allobiochemistry, and Cu by bio-induced processes.

Direito de danos e reparação civil ambiental: o fundamento de teoria de direito privado da responsabilidade civil ambiental brasileira
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-05-19) LIMA, Gabriel Santos; SÁ, João Daniel Macedo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9744534971209709
This research deals with civil liability for damage to the environment, evaluating a possible theoretical realignment of private law in the application of civil reparation. The work is divided into three parts. The first part initially presents the corrective and distributive models of civil liability, in order to understand the state of the art of the discussion on the right to damages. In the second stage, a doctrinal analysis is made of the elements of Brazilian objective civil liability, as well as the possible challenge presented by the application of the institute in the case of environmental damage. In the third and last part, the concepts of vulnerability are analyzed, in line with the conception of a new private law defended by Cláudia Lima Marques and Bruno Miragem, of distributive justice, based on the theory of Diego M. Papayannis, as well as possible repercussions from civil liability to the collective guardianship regime, based on idea of collective process. It appears that such concepts can be decisive for attributing civil liability for damage to the environment. Still in this last section, the case of programmed obsolescence of products is used to test the hypothesis. It is concluded that civil liability for damage to the environment can take advantage of vulnerability and distributive justice to promote a real change in the logic of private law.

Fatores de vulnerabilidade relacionados ao conhecimento sobre infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em população periférica da Amazônia brasileira
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-06-25) OLIVEIRA, Ingrid Saraiva de; FERREIRA, Glenda Oliveira Naiff; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7459094802051187; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8206-4950; GONÇALVES, Lucia Hisako Takase; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6191152585879205; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5172-7814
Sexually Transmitted Infections are a worldwide public health problem and are widely distributed among different populations in the Brazilian Amazon. The state of Pará has the second highest AIDS mortality rate in Brazil and an increasing increase in the incidence of notifiable sexually transmitted infections, with people with low education being the most affected. This epidemiological context occurs in a capital that has low coverage of family health strategy teams in territories that lack basic infrastructure and with marked social inequities. In this way, social inequalities and access to health services can cause inequalities in the health of populations both at the individual and community levels. Considering this context and the absence of studies, this study aimed to analyze the vulnerability factors to knowledge about sexually transmitted infections in a peripheral population in the Brazilian Amazon. This is an observational, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, carried out in areas of Bairro Montese. The study included 300 people aged 18 years or over. The collection took place between October and December 2019, through the application of questionnaires in the participants' homes. The American Questionnaire Sexually Transmitted Disease Knowledge Questionnaire and the sociodemographic questionnaire with questions related to vulnerability factors were used. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical methods, chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression, in the Bioestat 5.3 and Minitab 18® programs. 300 participated in the study. The average age of the participants was 46.09 years. There was a higher frequency of females (68.4%), Catholic (49.1%), with children (82.2%), high school (50.9%), mixed race (65%), married / union stable (51.6%), lives with spouse (47.5%), does not work (56.9%), economic classification C criterion Brazil (51.6%), income below one minimum wage (42.5%). There was a significant association between low knowledge and illiterate / elementary education, income equal to or less than one salary, Brazil criterion of economic classification C, D and E, single marital status, lack of guidance by a health professional and not receiving lubricating gel. The age groups of 28 to 37 years and 38 to 47 years were associated with the high level of knowledge. Conclusion: The social and programmatic dimensions of vulnerability were related to low knowledge, making it necessary for the actions of public social and health policies to bring about changes through interventions at the community level.

O financiamento climático para cidades amazônicas: análise da prontidão e vulnerabilidade frente a eventos extremos de inundação
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-06-07) RODRIGUES, Géssica dos Santos; SZLAFSZTEIN, Cláudio Fabian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348005678649555; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2855-2056
The climate change causes concern due to the material and immaterial impacts that society has. The cities are more exposed to these impacts, because concentrate people and essential services, such as hospitals, banks, schools, among others. The adaptation and mitigation of climate change in cities is a means of coping with impacts, however it requires financial investments that may come from public, private or climate funds. The climate finance is an important topic in the debate on climate change, it aims to concentration financial investments that are directed to countries or cities to assist in the elaboration and implementation of adaptive or mitigating measures in the face of climate change. However, access to climate finance is still restricted due to factors such as technical or organizational capacity, and scenarios of social and structural vulnerability of stakeholders in financing. Another restrictive factor of access is that the sources of financing have limited financial resources. Through this, funding sources need criteria to select funding recipients, one of the criteria involves the applicants' readiness and vulnerability scenario. The climate change and the accentuation of extreme events also have an impact on the Amazon; therefore, actions preservation and conservation have always been a global public and private interest. The Amazonian cities have also suffered from the impacts of climate change, so its insertion in debates involving climate change and climate finance is of paramount importance to promote their development combined with facing the adverse damage from climate change. In this scenario, the research aims to elucidate the climate financing scenario for Amazonian cities and their levels of adaptation considering vulnerability and readiness. Therefore, the methodology for the climate financing scenario of Amazonian cities uses stages of searching, processing and analyzing data from climate financing projects. For the adaptation levels, the propositions used by Notre Dame Environmental Change Initiative in the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative (ND-GAIN) project, known as the Country Index and Urban Adaptation Assessment, are used on a methodological basis aiming at the formulation of the Adaptation Level Index of Amazonian cities facing extreme flood events.

Gênero e migrações na Amazônia: um estudo do deslocamento de mulheres Warao da Venezuela para Belém/Pa
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-09-15) FURLAN, Maria Luiza Favacho; SMITH, Andreza do Socorro Pantoja de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1050234621474472
This dissertation, developed in the line of research Critical Studies of Law of the Graduate Program in Law at the Federal University of Pará (PPGD/UFPA), aims to analyze how research and institutional reports from Pará show the vulnerability of women's displacement Warao from Venezuela. To answer the question, the research is structured around three main thematic axes: studies on migration, intersectionality as a theoretical and methodological tool presented by black feminist epistemologies and the ethnic specificities of the Warao population in a context of displacement. As our research is based on three cross-cutting themes, our specific objectives were structured as follows, each one guiding the writing of a section of the work: contextualizing women's migration and identifying the main regulatory frameworks applicable to migration; to study the intersectionality and the feminization process of migrations; and to investigate the migratory particularities of the Warao from Venezuela to Belém/PA and the vulnerabilities of women in the community in this context, based on an intersectional study. The approach method used was the inductive method and the procedures adopted were bibliographic and documental research. From the theoretical framework studied and the reports of violence suffered by Warao migrant women from Venezuela in Belém, we conclude that intersectionality highlights the processes of vulnerability that affect these women, from the intersection of race, gender and ethnicity markers, and that the vulnerabilities to which these women are subjected are not exclusively individual, but occur collectively. Finally, we understand that intersectional studies on migration must be carried out, so that this scenario of exclusion and multiple oppressions is fought.

A legitimidade extraordinária ativa negocial na tutela coletiva
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-11-17) VIEIRA, Debora da Silva; GÓES, Gisele Santos Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1305423832262115; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2104-2889
This research aims to rethink the institute of active legitimacy in collective process, questioning the possibility of procedural negotiation about active legitimacy in collective tutelage. It is a theme that seeks to investigate the eagerness pursued by the current Brazilian procedural system: the capacity for collaboration of all procedural subjects, including those who may become through procedural conventions. For the development of the research, the active legitimacy is critically located in the general theory of process, aiming to demonstrate the need for a dynamic and contemporary perspective on the institute. This is a necessary premise for the assertion that the general clause on atypical procedural agreements, provided for in art. 190 of the CPC, combined with the wording change of the term "law" to "legal order" in art. 18 of the Code, allows for a procedural agreement that deals with active legitimacy, including in collective process. Considering this context, as well as the guidelines regarding atypical procedural agreements, we seek to create the support to test the central hypothesis placed in this research, which refers to the possibility of atypical procedural agreement on the active legtimacy, in such a way that does not directly imply the expansion of the legal list of legitimate assets, but only the interpretation of law. This is a hypothesis to be confirmed, not exactly due to the doctrinal and legal interpretation of the legal order, but mainly because the conflicts settled in the context of collectives processes demand a collaborative attitude of the subjects involved endo and extra-procedurally, so that it is understood that the collective process reached a stage of maturity capable of revisiting its basic institutes, in this case, legitimacy. The aim is, therefore, to shed contemporary light on active legitimacy, based on the study of atypical procedural agreements.

Advances in information technology have transformed the consumer relationship. Before centered on the figures of the consumer and the supplier in direct action, whether in the purchase of a product or in the contracting of a service, this relationship had its agents reconfigured by the market structure of the economy of personal data. With your personal information, the final recipient becomes the raw material, since the collection, processing and use of personal data drive the advertising market and, consequently, consumer harassment. Relational asymmetry, expressed in the vulnerabilities observed in this context, alters the meaning of consent. Although it is not the only authorized basis for the processing of personal data, consent is subject to limitations, which prompts the search for effective consumer protection in this context. his research has two well-defined parts: one is aimed at diagnosing the consumption relationship of personal data, analyzing from objective aspects of data processing itself to consumer rights, especially the recognition of vulnerability(s), the multiformity of the concept of privacy, autonomy of will, protection of personal data as a fundamental right and freedom; the other examines, in light of the dialogue between the sources - the Consumer Defense Code and the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data -, the responsibility for the misuse of data and, given the characterization of the state of damage, the preventive protection by through sharing political authority. Emphasis is given to empowerment, sometimes mediating and sometimes punitive actions of the State and the formulation of a governance policy by suppliers, especially in compliance with compliance, privacy by design and accountability. It appears that the legislation establishes a solidary environment for a network architecture with technological and regulatory strategies whose central element is privacy.

Metropolização e vulnerabilidade socioespacial: dinâmicas territoriais e luta pela moradia na porção sul de Ananindeua-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-08-29) SILVA, Gilmara Oliveira da; RODRIGUES, Jovenildo Cardoso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9028575905648156; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5650-1168
The urbanization process has been present since ancient times, intensifying with the industrialization process in the 18th century and in Brazil from the mid-19th century on. In the Amazônia this process occurred from the 1960s with transformations that deeply impacted its territories. Contemporarily, with the process of metropolization, beyond a phase of urban development, these territories are increasingly affected by the interests of capital, especially with regard to production and housing conditions, where part of the population lives in degrading conditions and in constant socio-spatial vulnerability, as occurs in the municipality of Ananindeua-PA, a city that makes up the metropolitan region of Belém-PA and that is affected by it in all its structural changes. In this sense, we present the following central problem: How the process of metropolization, such as the actions of the State (land title regularization and the implementation project of the Liberdade Highway) in addition to the expansion of the land market in the metropolitan space of Belém has been interfering in the conditions of socio-spatial vulnerability (infrastructure and housing) of the southern portion of Ananindeua territory between the years 2020 and 2022. The main objective of this work is to analyze how the metropolization process, the actions of the State (land title regularization and the implementation project of the Liberdade Highway) and the expansion of the land market in the metropolitan space of Belém have been interfering in the conditions of socio-spatial vulnerability (infrastructure and housing) of the southern portion of Ananindeua's territory between the years 2020 and 2022. In the present work we will use the historical and dialectical materialism method, because it focuses on the materiality of the history of men in society. The research is quantitative and qualitative, where the first makes a quantification of the data on the growth of the population of the municipality, especially of its southern portion, and the second, makes a survey of qualitative data, which obtains the description about the neighborhoods of the southern portion of Ananindeua and its urban growth over conservation units and territories of traditional Amazonian communities. The analysis is inter-scalar that considers the time and space of urban relations. It counts on a systematic observation of the study area and the application of questionnaires, in addition to the cartographic production showing the advance of urbanization in the southern part of Ananindeua. This work is justified from a theoretical and methodological point of view by the need to understand the new territorial dynamics, in the conditions of infrastructure and housing, from the metropolitan expansion present in the southern portion of Ananindeua. From a theoretical and practical point of view, this work has the relevance of contributing to subsidize public actions and the construction of the right to territory. The present work showed us that the housing conditions in the southern part of Ananindeua are the result of the unequal process of metropolization where some parts of the population live with a good infrastructure in detriment of the majority of the population who live without the minimum conditions of basic sanitation. Added to this, the work showed us that the southern population of Ananindeu has the constant territorial conflicts of traditional communities that are there in the face of urban expansion.

Modos de enfrentamento do HIV/AIDS: direitos humanos, vulnerabilidades e assistência à saúde
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-04) MAIA, Érica Catarine Ataíde; REIS JÚNIOR, Leandro Passarinho
Coping with HIV/AIDS configures itself as a challenge for contemporary society, in view of the control several aspects of the epidemic. In this research, the objective was to analyze, through theoretical studies, the HIV/AIDS social coping, circumscribed in the references of human rights, vulnerability and health care in Brazil. It was found that the notion of human rights brought innovative contributions, demonstrating that their violation increases the possibility of dissemination of HIV; the concept of vulnerability is an analysis of structures that incorporates an interdependence of individual, social and programmatic aspects in greater or lesser exposure to HIV infection; health care in the context of HIV/AIDS permeates integral public health care in the country. Finally, a reflection on these theoretical contributions in interface with HIV/AIDS coping, demonstrate them inequalities, discriminations, health system precariousness are closely related to the health-disease dynamics.

A possibilidade de utilização da cooperação (judiciária) interinstitucional em processos estruturais pela Defensoria Pública como forma de garantir o direito humano de acessibilidade das pessoas com deficiência
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11-21) MORAES, Bernardo Brito de; TAXI, Ricardo Araújo Dib; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2208519070757294
The universalist discourse of human rights, when analyzed from a critical point of view, at least in the factual field, fails to protect a siezable portion of society, which fits into the concept of minority and vulnerable social groups. Among them is that of people with disabilities, since they are historically relegated and excluded from social life. Despite the publication, in recent years, of a series of international and national legal instruments of a protective nature, whose main objective is to guarantee social inclusion to those people, many of their rights cannot be guaranteed in everyday life, in the face of a multitude of barriers. In this environment, the right of accessibility gains importance, which plays a central role in social transformation, being treated as the main fundamental right and, also, instrumental, as it is a safeguard for the enjoyment of other rights. The Public Defender's Office, due to its constitutional mission of guaranteeing access to justice for citizens and groups in situations of social vulnerability, is the democratic institution that best comes close to being a welcoming stage and to giving a broad and effective voice to people with disabilities, and, for this, it needs to make use of all available legal means, including the use of collective protection. It so happens that the collective process, as traditionally known, is no longer sufficient to deal with all types of problems. In the wake of the valorization of the interpretation and application of constitutional and procedural principles to the specific case, it can be said that the so-called structural process starts to gain weigth and importance, proving to be a viable way to combat the lack of accessibility, since this is a problem with characteristics of complexity, multipolarity, collectivity and the need for an institutional rearrangement. Among the various techniques currently available regarding the management of these processes, interinstitutional (judicial) cooperation deserves a prominent role, as it increases and democratizes access to justice, as well as assists in the search for a dialogued and efficient solution between the various actors involved.

Vulnerabilidade espacial em quilombos a partir da implantação da linha LT 230 KV no Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-10-24) MASCARENHAS, Carlos Alberto de Souza; NAHUM, João Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9009465125001273
This paper presents the doctoral thesis entitled: “Spatial vulnerability in Quilombos from the implementation of the 230 Kv LT Line in Pará”. We support the thesis that the line has harmed the food security of the quilombos Santa Luzia do Bom Prazer Poacê and Itabocal Ponte, which are in a vulnerable situation along its route. We assume that the 230 kV Transmission Line (LT) was created within the scope of the 2027 Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan, and that the quilombos of Santa Luzia do Bom Prazer Poacê and Itabocal Ponte are involved in this process, with regard to: changes in their way of life, metamorphosis of work and productive structure (farms, backyards, flour mills). The general objective of this thesis is to understand the socioeconomic vulnerability and food security of places aggravated by the 230 kV LT, Vila do Conde - Tomé-Açu C2, in the quilombola communities of Poacê and Itabocal Ponte, from 2016 to 2024. The concepts that guide the analysis of this thesis are: socioeconomic vulnerability, food security and place. From a methodological point of view, two complementary strategies were chosen: the first is the analytical methodology, in which geographic situation 1 (T-1) is the one that precedes the interferences generated by the LT; and the second is the LT as a force producing the vulnerability of places, which results in a new geographic situation 2 (T-2), in which instability occurs, a clash between the LT expansion policy and preexisting conditions, converting into changes and permanence in places. The structure of the thesis is divided into four parts: the first presents the introduction that contains the objectives, the justification, the structuring hypothesis, the operational and analytical methodology. The second addresses the theoretical-conceptual foundations. The third presents chapter 1 entitled “The preexisting organization of places”, exposing the spatial configuration of the quilombos of Santa Luzia do Bom Prazer Poacê and Itabocal Ponte before the LT. The fourth presents chapter 2 entitled “The Power Transmission Line” and demonstrates the presence of the LT as a modifier of the spatial configuration and food security of the places. The fifth presents chapter 3 “Vulnerability and food security affected”, whose intention is to highlight the effects of the presence of the LT on the quilombos studied.

Vulnerabilidade, luto e interdependência: reflexões críticas ao individualismo neoliberal a partir de Judith Butler
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-10-23) LOBATO, Lílian Gabriela Rodrigues; AGGIO, Juliana Ortegosa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5290499042057589; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6283-4797; VERBICARO, Loiane Prado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4100200759767576; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3259-9906
The present dissertation proposes to investigate the critique of the neoliberal morality of self-responsibilization formulated by the American philosopher Judith Butler based on the concept of primordial vulnerability — a dimension of our existence transpassed by ambivalences with strong exploratory potential, which nevertheless substantiate the conditions of possibility for our physical, psychic and social survival. To achieve this objective, our footsteps are articulated around two main discussions, namely: 1) the relationship between the neoliberal ideal of self-sufficiency with the political inducement of precariousness and unequal distribution of public mourning and 2) the ethical-political potential of public mourning to protect the links of interdependence, weakened by the neoliberal morality. At the first moment, we exhibit how neoliberalism is a rationality that shapes the State, society, and our own subjectivity per the market imperative, emptying the state of social welfare and the feeling of collective solidarity, deepening even the vulnerability of historically subaltern subjects through precarization policies that attribute a differentiated valuation to life resulting in a selective commotion in the face of death. At this point, we elucidate how mourning operates as a descriptor of the intelligibility of life, subverting the commonly held understanding that the value of life perdures since birth. At the second moment, we exhibit how the experience of loss awakens us to the opacity and dispossession, inherent to our constitutive relationality, disrupting the fantasy of the autonomous subject that holds full control over himself. In the face of the recrudescence of neoliberal agendas experienced in Western democracies, we aim to reflect on the limits and possibilities of Butler's proposition for an ethics of vulnerability intended to protect the links of interdependence. Hopefully, this research can collaborate with the construction of narratives that broaden our imaginative capacity in contrast to neoliberal nihilism.
