O trabalho autobiográfico de Louise Bourgeois e o discurso autobiográfico filosófico

O trabalho denominado como autobiográfico é diverso na sua forma, podendo ser uma manifestação de cariz artístico, literário ou filosófico. A presente dissertação procura investigar as particularidades da forma autobiográfica, os objectivos do autor perante a sua obra e a sua recepção no campo público. Para tal, traz-se para análise: a obra escultórica de Louise Bourgeois para chegar a um entendimento sobre a forma artística da autobiografia; os Cadernos do Subterrâneo de Fiódor Dostoiévski que é exemplo controverso de uma obra autobiográfica literária; e as Confissões de Jean- Jacques Rousseau e Santo Agostinho que nos permitem experienciar uma obra autobiográfica com preocupações características de uma investigação filosófica. Pretende-se compreender a autobiografia na sua generalidade, tanto do ponto de vista do autor como do seu receptor.

O princípio da confidencialidade na mediação em matéria civil e comercial

The purpose of the following study is to analyze the relevance of the principle of confidentiality concerning mediation on civil and commercial matters developed in Portugal. We will, essentially, try to determine just how pivotal is this principle and how it affects the effectiveness of that method of alternative dispute resolution. We believe it is fundamental to understand the true extent of this principle and its goals, emphasizing the protection given to those who decide to resort to mediation and its impact on this process. For this dissertation, we have based our analysis on the interpretation of the set rules assembled by Law nr 29/2013, April 19th, while combining it with data gathered from other laws and regulations that had also addressed mediation. Furthermore, given the fact that this subject has been regulated by Directive 2008/52/EC, we deem pertinent to include references to other European mediation regulations, namely from Germany, Spain and France. With this study, we have established that, even though the Portuguese mediation law is based on a European Directive, we have determined a more restrictive regulation for the principle of confidentiality. We have concluded that the rules regarding this principle try to preserve, above all, the trust and honesty established during the course of the mediation, while restricting the possibility of using the information disclosed during these sessions on other cases. Additionally, we believe confidentiality is such a distinctive and relevant feature that its legal framework leads us to deem it as a true obstacle to the parties’ private autonomy and their power to determine how the mediation should be carried out.
