The aim of this thesis is to present the analysis of stucco decor in Valavičius family chapel in Vilnius Cathedral, an object that has been studied only in a fragmentary way so far. The stucco decor of the chapel reflects the artistic tendencies of the first and second half of the 17th century, which is a rare case in the context of Vilnius Baroque architecture, considering that many objects were severely damaged when the city was occupied by Moscow military units in 1655. It can be reasonably assumed that the original decor scheme of the first half of the 17th century was at least partially preserved, and the ideas of the founder Eustachijus Valavičius were implemented in the decoration program. The Valavičiai chapel also served as a family mausoleum, so its decor themes are related not only to theological but also to social aspects: the perpetuation of memory, the representation of the individual and the family. The main idea of the chapel decor program reflects an eschatological narrative of salvation related to man's place in the world, his relationship with God, his values, the justice of his actions, and his existence after death.

Even though architecture often might be conceived of as timeless, there has always been different ways of dealing with time in architectural discourse and practice. Since the early 20th century the temporal activities that goes on in and between buildings has, for example, been addressed by concepts such as function, flexibility and program. Architecture is of inevitable importance in our everyday social lives and has a political role to play also in its mere factual claiming and changing of space. But architecture is also a kind of delegated, or materialized, representation and manifestation of political powers in society, powers we generally don't know completely, but still need to acknowledge. My investigation departs as a personal reaction, originating several years ago, to the still widely held notion of architecture as atemporal, well-designed built objects striving towards aesthetic perfection and created by a single author. A plausible way to capture, i.e. to experience and represent architecture as a less stable and more situated phenomenon would be through the study of various rhythms of urban life. In this study it is more precisely the micro-rhythms that connect everyday life situations with the built environment, placing architecture in between the subjective experience and the objective experiential frame that is being examined. I am thus interested in how mundane activities such as eating, walking, shopping, smoking, waiting, etc., brings different kinds of materialities together in a sequential and rhythmical fashion. How are these events architecturally enacted and articulated? How are different materialities put into use, and how can this use be conceptualized and represented? The methods are based in a series of timelapse photos and observations in Värnhemstorget, which is a square in Malmö in the south of Sweden. The project also entails more experimental studies and exercises, including two workshops with master students in architecture. Three main concepts have been developed – rhythm figure, rhythm network and rhythm architecture – as well as a series of methodological explorations and different forms of representations. Together, these become tools that enable a discussion of the more transient and fluid aspects of the built environment.

During the 1980s and 1990s public faith in democratic governance was undermined throughout the Andes by a number of factors, including the persistence of elite brokering and weak, unaccountable political parties. The entrance of social movements into the electoral process presented itself as an antidote to this problem. A comparative study of the relatively successful experience of Ecuador's Pachakutik movement and that of Bolivia in the 1980s, when members of the Katarista indigenous movement ultimately failed in their attempts to launch political parties, seeks to identify the factors that contribute to the success or failure of social movement parties and to test the idea that such parties can transform political institutions and practices in fledgling democracies. Theoretically the dissertation draws on and makes links between the social movements and political parties literatures. Data gathering involved primarily qualitative methods, including interviews, participant observation, and archival research. I argue that the contrasting outcomes between Ecuador and Bolivia can be traced to crucial differences in the historical evolution of each country's indigenous movements and, in particular, to the role the state played in fostering peasant organization. In so doing, I build on Douglass North's concept of path dependency and apply it to social movement organizational development. Somewhat surprisingly, I find that longer and more intensive state tutelage in Bolivia was associated later on with greater difficulty in developing viable social movement parties. In contrast, the more autonomous development of peasant and indigenous organizations in Ecuador, characterized by a historically more adversarial relationship with the state, resulted in stronger organizational structures, the growth of a pan-indigenous identity, and earlier success for a movement-based party, despite the smaller relative size of the indigenous population. In terms of social-movement parties' potential to contribute to democratic consolidation, a close analysis of Pachakutik's performance and organization demonstrates that these parties often develop qualitatively new models that can challenge clientelistic practices at the local level. However, this only becomes possible once they have developed key internal resources: (1) a unifying identity, (2) an autonomous democratic organizational structure, and (3) a track-record of addressing local needs
