    African slavery in Portuguese India: Goa in the 16th and 17th centuries
    (2023-01-01) Hofbauer, Andreas [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    The article seeks to show how, in parallel with the emergence of a slaveholding society in Brazil, the Portuguese colonial intervention in India also led to the constitution of a society marked by the presence of slaves. It seeks not only to point to the multiple convergences and similarities, but also to understand the contexts and practices that distinguished the phenomenon of slavery in Goa from that of the New World.

    Teaching techniques and cultural resistance: Contribution to Sociology teaching practices
    (2022-01-01) Totti, Marcelo Augusto [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    The aim of this article is to present the results of research conducted at a school in a peripheral neighborhood of the municipality of Marília (São Paulo state, Brazil). The research started from the assumption that the cultural process must be observed from a micro-and a macro-sociological outlook on the basis of Paul Willis’ analyses. The latter stresses that cultural processes may be absorbed and reformulated in a dialectical fashion, remodeling and creating a process of cultural resistance based on the choices made by the very working class in question, which the author termed a school counterculture. Based on this reference, we observe the need to know the school reality to approximate scientific knowledge and students’ cultural horizons through a didactic transposition. Hence, starting off from a pedagogical sequence with the premise of getting to know students’ reality, it was possible to adapt sociological knowledge to these students’ realities by teaching techniques and producing teaching materials. This enabled acquiring a greater amount of content from the subject of Sociology by the students, thus constituting new forms of teaching-learning and building more solid training for teachers in the field of Sociology.

    DEBATES ON DIFFERENCES AND INEQUALITIES IN THE CONTEXT OF NATION-BUILDING: PARALLELS BETWEEN INDIA AND BRAZIL
    (Univ Fed Maranhao, Centro Ciencias Humanas, 2023-01-01) Hofbauer, Andreas [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    Indian and Brazilian societies present many differences, but they also share similarities that largely relate to their colonial past. They are marked by internal cultural differences and above all by huge social inequalities. In each country, discourses of political and intellectual leaders emerged who sought not only to explain local traditions and the status quo of social relations, but also to suggest political proposals to combat the perceived problems. This article aims to focus on the discourses of four important personalities responsible for the elaboration of approaches that would become paradigmatic references in the discussions in each of the countries: Gandhi vs. Ambedkar; Freyre vs. Fernandes. The analysis seeks to point to oppositions and parallels in the most diverse planes, but especially in the ways in which these thinkers dealt with the topics of differences and inequalities.

    LIBERALISM WITHOUT a PRESS: EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY MINAS GERAES AND THE ROOTS OF BRAZILIAN DEVELOPMENT
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2019-01-01) Pait, Heloisa [UNESP]; Brienza, C.; Robinson, L.; Wellman, B.; Cotten, SR; Chen, W.; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    This chapter introduces the important connections between media, democracy, and development in Brazil. Brazilian thought has relied heavily on conceptual oppositions in attempts to understand the country, as if there were something mysteriously contradictory in our culture and history, forever set on a rift between modernity and tradition. However convincingly described, the origin of such oppositions has never been fully explained. Introducing media history and theory into this discussion, we present a material dichotomy that illuminates the more abstract and cultural explanations of our particular history. We look at the region of Minas Geraes, where a sophisticated and diverse culture developed after the gold rush in the eighteenth century, in the Americas, and contrast such cultural achievements with the insurmountable difficulties in establishing a compatible written culture, primarily due to the prohibition of printing in the colony. We take note of the particular experience of the Conversos in Brazil, Jews who adopted Christianity in the shadow of the Portuguese Inquisition, as key to understand our ambivalent relationship to the written word and to knowledge. We describe commercial and cultural networks and contrast them with the paucity of media networks, including those of books and mail, domestic and international. This material disconnect, constitutive of colonial times in general, was particularly important during the formative years of a national market and identity and continues to resonate in the present.

    MEDIA EPIPHANIES: SELVIES AND SILENCES IN SAO PAULO STREET PROTESTS
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2017-01-01) Pait, Heloisa [UNESP]; Laet, Juliana [UNESP]; Robinson, L.; Schulz, J.; Williams, A.; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    Looking at a series of recent large street protests in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, the chapter examines the relationship between political action, urban space, and media use. We specifically look at what we are calling media epiphanies, moments in which the public becomes aware of its existence as a mediated public, that is, as a public that is forged through the use of a particular media. We rely on extensive participant observation and interviews for the description of the June 2013 protests and the subsequent massive rallies. We examine the materiality of the employed media and the experience of participants to understand the meaning of the phenomenon, for which we used a combination of Frankfurt and Toronto Schools approach. The strength of the fluid June 2013 protests in Sao Paulo questioned the political status quo and served as a trampoline for subsequent media demonstrations whose political impact relied as well on traditional cultural forms. The 2016 impeachment House vote, as a true media event, reconstructed, in positive and negative terms, the fractured political dialogue of representation. The concept of media epiphany can be used to assess the strength of demonstrations and the meaning of collective action in general. Identifying these phenomena, we can give focus to empirical research and better examine the complex intersections between forms of communications, physical environments, and the experience of the individual in contemporary cities.

    The violence dynamics in public security: Military interventions and police-related deaths in Brazil
    (2021-01-01) Suarez, Marcial A.G.; De Souza, Luís Antônio Francisco [UNESP]; Serra, Carlos Henrique Aguiar; Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    This paper discusses the deadly use of violence as a public security agenda, focusing on police lethality and military interventions. Through a literature review to understanding concepts – such as “war,” for example – used in public security policy agendas, the study seeks to frame the notion of political violence, mainly referring to the policies designed to combat violence in Brazil. The objective is to problematize the public security policy based on the idea of confrontation, which adopts the logic of war and the notion of “enemy”. The paper is divided into three parts. The first is a conceptual approach to violence and war, and the second is the analysis of the dynamic of deadly use of force. Finally, the third part is a contextual analysis of violence in Rio de Janeiro, its characteristics, and central actors, using official statistics on violence in the region.

    (Dis)agreements between Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault: What remains of the rule of law in Brazil
    (2021-05-17) Aguiar Serra, Carlos Henrique; de Souza, Luís Antônio Francisco [UNESP]; Valério, Raphael Guazzelli; Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE)
    This article explores the conceptual and theoretical convergences and divergences in some works by Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, emphasizing the notions of state of exception and biopolitics. It is argued that the analytical framework discussed by the authors allows us to grasp why, in the current Brazilian society, democracy has increasingly become a mechanism of biopolitical management that has at its core the adoption of typical measures and devices of the state of exception, such as authorized killing of suspects and enemies and suspended constitutional rights and guarantees. The empirical basis for theoretical discussion is the recent experience of military intervention in Rio de Janeiro’s public security, with exception measures of its own, based on territory occupation, social militarization, access control, and impunity in the face of violations. Thus, intervention is a laboratory for a permanent state of exception that has been gradually establishing in Brazilian society.

    Psychiatric dispositive and production of killable subjects in Brazil between the late 19th and early 20th centuries
    (2019-01-01) De Azevedo Soares, Silvio [UNESP]; De Souza, Luís Antônio Francisco [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    From Michel Foucault's contributions (and his concepts of biopower and dispositive) and Giorgio Agamben (Homo Sacer) it is discussed how deaths were produced by the psychiatry in Brazil of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Through bibliographic review in works dealing with psychiatry in this historical period, Psychiatric Dispositive and Production of Killable Subjects in Brazil between the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries analyzes, in interpretations of psychiatric discourses and practices, the implication of biological characteristics, aspects of the bare life of individuals and groups, which would turn them into killable subjects, close to the condition of Homo Sacer, and exposed to death within the psychiatric weft.

    Risco, mercado criminal e interações violentas: Etnografia de um conjunto habitacional periférico numa cidade média do estado de São Paulo
    (2016-01-01) De Souza, Luís Antonio Francisco [UNESP]; De Magalhães, Bóris Ribeiro [UNESP]; De Sousa Romero, Gabriel [UNESP]; Valera, Mariana Franzolin [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    The present article aims to show the dilemmas lived by the inhabitants from a suburban gated community of a medium size city in the São Paulo state hinterland. The discussion is based on the stand point of recent expansion of the criminal market and its connections with the increasingly life risk over the young inhabitants of the community as such. By the way of an ethnographic approach, the study focuses on the violent interaction between young people that work for the illegal drug market and the police. The main concern here is not only to address the conflicts, lethal violence and the strategies of survival of the residents related to the informal and illegal market, but also to address the conflict resolutions patterns within the so called crime tribunal.

    The town of asa branca: Constructing public spaces in Brazil
    (2005-01-01) Pait, Heloisa [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    This paper follows the construction of a televisual public space in Brazil since the 1950s until the present, with special attention to television fiction and soap operas, known as novelas in Brazil. The role of novela writers as mass mediators responsible for weaving together a growing public is investigated, with emphasis on their political projects and their responsibilities when writing for millions. Although aided by an industrial process, their task of reaching the public is one full of misunderstandings, which I contend is an intrinsic part of the environment of mass communication. The acceptance of these unavoidable misunderstandings by all involved in mass communication is crucial for the continuation of a communicative game, as we see in the case of Brazilian television. I would like to thank all the people who watched television with me and made it a meaningful game, and especially my father Henrique Pait who, parodying the characters or inserting himself in the dialogues on the screen, managed to disrupt any intended melodrama and make the televisual space one of laughter and reflection. I would also like to thank the novela writers and viewers who granted me interviews, the Brazilian Research Foundation CAPES for their support during my doctoral studies at The New School University, as well as The Communication Review kind editors and reviewers for their illuminating comments. © 2005, Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

    South atlantic: Brazil-Africa relations in the field of security and defense
    (2013-01-01) Aguilar, Sérgio Luiz Cruz [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    South-South Cooperation has become one of the axis of the Brazilian Foreign Policy, especially when related to Africa. Besides the economic, political and technologic areas, among others, the Brazilian government created a series of cooperation agreements with many African countries in the field of security and defense. This paper analyses the objective and reach of the actions concerning South-South Cooperation between the government of Brazil and the African countries, especially the ones from Atlantic Africa, making use of a bibliography related to the subject and sources derived from the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

    Reportagem, memória e história no jornalismo brasileiro
    (2011-08-01) Bergamo, Alexandre [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
    The present article explores how recent changes in journalism have redefined the way in which the area's professionals see themselves in the present and so how they see their past, their own 'history.' I draw from my own and other ethnographies of journalism, particularly those focused on the editorial office, in order to examine the specificity of 'news' and especially 'reporting' as a historical 'document,' a discussion essential to understanding the link between 'journalistic memory' and 'national memory.' The text also discusses the effects that the imposition of a 'journalistic style,' the need for formal qualifications and the reorganization of the work market have had - and continue to have - on the increasingly systemized organization and description of careers now considered emblematic in the profession.

    Trabalho e sindicalismo no Brasil: um balanço crítico da década neoliberal (1990-2000)
    (Universidade Federal do Paraná, 2002-11) Alves, Giovanni [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP); Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)
    This article presents an overview of principal shapes that the world of labor took on in Brazil during the nineties. We refer to this period as the neo-liberal decade. We emphasize the development of a new complex of productive restructuring and its dominant moment (Toyotism), as well as the emergence of a new (and precarious) world of labor and the advent of the crisis of unionism, which we consider to be the contingent expression of the fragmentation of the working class. We come to the conclusion that today more than ever, at the start of the twenty first century, the greatest challenge that Brazilian unionism faces involves a break with its bureaucratic-corporative bias, as well as the organization and mobilization of a massive contingent of young workers and employees and even the precarious self-employed or workers subject to capitalist exploitation. We make critical use of empirical data from books and essays written by researchers from the fields of economics, sociology of work and industrial sociology in Brazil over the last decade
