Although separated by decades and distinct historical contexts, these cinemas share similar approaches to time, memory, and everyday life. Ozu’s minimalist mise-en-scène, focus on domestic spaces, and the philosophy of mono no aware influenced a generation of filmmakers seeking contemplative and emotionally resonant cinema. The first part presents an overview of the New Wave as a transnational movement, from its French origins to its manifestations in Japan. The study then turns to Ozu’s work, emphasizing his connection to shōshimin-geki, his use of static shots, elliptical cuts, and family-centered narratives. Finally, it examines the rise of the Taiwanese New Wave during a period of political and cultural transition, especially after the end of Martial Law in 1987. Films such as A Time to Live, A Time to Die (1985) and Taipei Story (1985) show aesthetic and philosophical affinities with Ozu. This comparative analysis is grounded in bibliographical research and film analysis, drawing on authors like David Bordwell (1988), James Udden (2007), Paul Schrader (2018) and Woojeong Joo (2017). The conclusion highlights Ozu’s lasting impact on contemporary Asian cinema, as both stylistic and philosophical inspiration that reverberates in different times and different cultures.

The investigation is guided by Michel Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge, through which the classical episteme is identified as a regime of visibility grounded in rationality—one that subjected the image, along with other forms of representation, to a normative system oriented by notions such as verisimilitude. This dissertation argues that the structuring of filmic norms, such as classical découpage, was influenced by belief in this episteme, consolidating itself as an expression of a rationalistrepresentational project that sustains the illusion of transparency. To deepen this analysis, the research investigates how the classical episteme was expressed in philosophical reflections on aesthetics, examining the contributions of Baumgarten, Kant, and Schopenhauer. Subsequently, in the discussion of opacity as a disruptive force, the thoughts of Heidegger and Rancière are addressed. It is within this framework that the chosen filmic object, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), is analyzed—understood here as a film that embodies opacity as a critical and political gesture. The conclusions indicate that the film mobilizes opacity not by breaking with the linearity of découpage, but through strategies such as parody, genre hybridization, ambiguity in the representation of gender and sexuality, the use of archetypes, and selfreferentiality. These elements destabilize the hegemonic discourse of transparency and reconfigure the boundaries of the visible.

For these projects to be successful, there must be effective integration between several key factors to maintain the sustainability of irrigation projects. The California Irrigated Perimeter is a public irrigation project located in the Alto Sertão Sergipano region, designed to be a model for rational soil and water exploitation in the Northeastern Semiarid Region, inaugurated in 1987 to promote the socioeconomic development of the region. The area faces problems related to basic sanitation, water theft, lack of maintenance of the physical structures of the distribution channels, deforestation, and irregularities in water distribution. From this perspective, this research aimed to determine the sustainability index of the California/SE irrigated perimeter. The research, which used a quantitative and qualitative approach, was conducted through the analysis of a semi-structured questionnaire applied to family farmers, systematic observation, and document analysis. Indicators of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions were selected and measured, which ultimately allowed the generation of a sustainability index. The final sustainability index calculated was 16.93, and in terms of its classification, the California Perimeter has a “very poor” sustainability level. The results indicated that the main difficulty of the perimeter, currently, is present in the relationship between the Public Services and Family Income indicators. The use of the methodology to calculate the California sustainability index demonstrated the limitations to be faced in the location, as well as allowed the definition of actions to overcome the barriers, in order to promote sustainable development.

In particular, the spatialtemporal distribution of dietary resources affects not only the feeding behavior of these animals, but also their habitat use. The present study aimed to provide the first data on the behavior and diet of Callicebus coimbrai in a fragment of Atlantic Forest in southern Sergipe, and to evaluate seasonal patterns. The study site is located within Sergipe’s southern coastal Environmental Protection Area (APA Litoral Sul), at the Fazenda Trapsa, which encompasses a mosaic of forested areas of varying quality. A 50 x 50 m trail grid was established in one of the smaller fragments (14.4 ha), where a group of C. coimbrai (1 adult male, 1 adult female, 1 subadult, 1 infant) was monitoring using scan sampling (1 minute scan at 5-minute intervals). Additional data on the group’s diet were collected using ad libitum sampling. Four different habitat types were identified within the fragment – mature, secondary, anthropogenic, and burned forest. The animals spent a large part of their time resting (43.2%) and feeding (23.4%), and only 16.7% moving. The activity budget varied significantly between seasons, with the animals feeding more during the wet season, and resting more during the dry. Social behavior was also almost three times more frequent during the wet season. A total of 36 plant species were exploited during feeding, most of which belonged to the Elaeocarpacea (31.3%), Myrtaceae (25.4%), Sapotaceae (18.0%) and Passifloraceae (16.3%) families. Fruit was the item most consumed throughout almost the whole of the study period (54.8%), followed by new leaves (15.2%), with seeds and insects providing a major proportion of the diet during some months. The consumption of fruit declined significantly during the dry season, but remained relatively high. The study group occupied a home range of 11.7 ha, with more or less the same area (9 ha) being used in the two seasons. While a significant preference for mature forest was recorded overall, the group also showed a preference for burned forest in the dry season, apparently due to the abundance of new leaves in this habitat. Overall, the study group presented behavior patterns typical of the genus Callicebus, and predictable strategies to compensate for the seasonal scarcity of preferred foods, in particular fruit. The study also re-emphasized the tolerance of the species to habitat fragmentation, apparently based on its behavioral flexibility, and ability to exploit alternative resources, as and when xiii available. These findings provide an important starting point for the development of effective management strategies, necessary to guarantee the survival of the C. coimbrai populations of Sergipe and the habitats they occupy over the long term.
