The 2019 novel Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo tackles concerns prevalent in contemporary society. Because the body is such an elemental factor in the novel, as it has become in different realms of life, the bodies of its twelve characters serve as a canvas through which various class, gender, ethnical, sexual, and religious paradigms are presented and questioned. This article intends to explore, through an intersectional lens, the experiences lived by some of these womxn which are reflected, conditioned and filtered through their bodies. It focuses on the role of the body as both a vessel for expression and/or oppression of identity, separately, having in mind that these womxn are (second-generation) immigrants of differing ages and socio-economic backgrounds.

In o Sol se põe em São Paulo, Carvalho's writing promotes an exercise of alterity, enabling contact with the other and self-awareness. The narrator, who has been given the task of narrating a story that does not belong to him, starts to reflect on his own past and identity. Through the narrative exercise, his linguistic and cultural fracture expands, since he perceives in himself the lack of identification with the cultural repertoire that is part of his origins. From this space, from where he reports the origin of the other, his awareness of not belonging is reinforced, which intensifies his existential anguish. The breakdown of the bond with his origins leads to instability, fragmentation, hybridization, a game between being and seeming to be chosen as constituent elements of his identity. Therefore, the narrator realizes that his identity representation, as well as that of so many others, takes place through the narrative of the individual in transit, of the moving being, of the identity under construction.

Born into a Mexican family, American writer Sandra Cisneros has repeatedly given voice to characters marginalized not only for being female but also for being Chicanas. Though apparently simple in their narrative modes, Cisneros' texts present the readers with many complex layers of meaning in their endeavour to represent female expectations, anxieties and concerns in a world that is still very much challenging for women. One core concern is certainly language, reflecting the author's divide between Spanish, her family's mother tongue, and English, her own native language, and the language in which she writes. This paper will focus on two works by Cisneros: her 1984 novel The House on Mango Street and her 2021 duallanguage text Martita, I Remember You / Martita, te recuerdo: A Story in English and Spanish. The purpose of this paper is to address the importance of linguistic choices in representing female identities and experiences of otherness in a largely patriarchal society. The title is inspired by a passage in The House on Mango Street in which Esperanza, the young protagonist and narrator of the novel, reveals some discomfort about her own name and specially the way it is constantly mispronounced by English speakers, including her teachers at school. Echoing Virginia Woolf, in Cisneros' coming-of-age 1984 novel, female identity is dependent not only on getting a house of her own (away from the barrio), but also her own name, one that could be "la simple carte photographique d'identité", as Proust would put it in À la Recherche du Temps Perdu (754).

The article aims to (re) think education for race relations in times that turn out to be gloomy from the film "Tabu". The work is an exploratory research based on a qualitative reflective approach. The results show that despite the policies that have been seeking to institute new ways of looking at and working on differences, they come up against the idea of a homogeneous national identity that disqualifies differences, preventing the specificities of the black condition in society from being given due importance. We know that we have a long way to go in creating and / or valuing other ways of acting in education, in addition to the attempts to develop an impartial, neutral and politically correct discourse. It is education being called to position itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to carry out a review - albeit not exhaustive or definitive - of the main discussions in the field of translation theory on issues of identity and alterity, issues that are useful for understanding the debates on domestication and exoticization in the work of the translator. For this purpose, we focus on issues involving the language/culture interface inherent to the translation process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo: A língua está envolvida nos processos de construção da identidade e da alteridade. Por isso, ela pode também ser utilizada para diferenciar negativamente o outro a partir de processos de julgamento da fala alheia. O presente artigo apresenta algumas considerações a respeito do preconceito linguístico contra os imigrantes asiáticos e os seus descendentes no Brasil. Trata-se de um trabalho de viés histórico e que utiliza a semiótica discursiva francesa para analisar textos jornalísticos publicados a partir da segunda metade do século XX até os dias atuais. A partir do exame das reportagens, observou-se a constante sanção sobre o mau uso que os imigrantes japoneses e os estudantes de origem asiática fazem da língua portuguesa, a despeito do destaque igualmente constante das qualidades de trabalhadores e de estudantes que eles comportam nesses discursos. Desse modo, mesmo com uma imagem atualmente positiva perante a sociedade brasileira, permanece o preconceito linguístico contra os indivíduos de origem asiática no país. Palavras-chave: preconceito linguístico; imigração japonesa; semiótica discursiva; identidade; alteridade. Abstract: Language is involved in the processes of identity and alterity construction. Therefore, it can also be used to differentiate negatively the other from processes of judgment of the speech of others. This article presents some considerations regarding linguistic prejudice against Asian immigrants and their descendants in Brazil. It is a work of historical bias and that uses French discursive semiotics to analyze journalistic texts published from the second half of the twentieth century until the present day. From the examination of the reports, the constant sanction on the misuse that Japanese immigrants and students of Asian origin do of the Portuguese language was observed, in spite of the equally constant prominence of the qualities of workers and students that they carry in these speeches. Thus, even with a currently positive image for Brazilian society, linguistic prejudice remains against individuals of Asian origin in the country. Keywords: linguistic prejudice; Japanese immigration; discursive semiotics; identity; otherness.

The aim of this article is to survey the implications of the identity/alterity nexus in international relations (IR) as related to processes of othering for understanding conflict and violence in global politics. I will offer what I could call an ontology of difference in global politics, where I stress the reliance of understanding othering practices in global politics, as I explore two cases from which I ask the following questions: How do identity and identity formation processes occur and develop at different levels, times and dimensions? How do discourses of differentiation and identification help construct state identities and interests? Following Emmanuel Lévinas, I will argue that by seeking ways to reach out towards the Other, we free ourselves from the restraints of selfishness, from indifference and isolation. Finding and coming to terms with a composition of the Self that also includes the Other enables us to take responsibility for him/her inasmuch it prevents the conditions for violence and conflict.

This paper aims to analyze in what way the notions of sexuality, gender and identity pose questions to psychoanalysis, as they problematize forms of subjectivation present in their discursive practice. Taking into account Foucault's analysis of the formation of the device of sexuality and Butler's discussion on the problem of identity in gender discussions, we intend to situate the place of the Oedipus complex in the constitution of the subject in psychoanalysis and Freud's critique of the moralization of sexuality in modern experience. To conclude, based on the notions of vulnerability and dispossession of the self, we revisit the psychoanalytic concepts of helplessness and femininity to reflect on the importance of a thinking on otherness for psychoanalytic practice.

This study aims at analyzing fictive representations of identity interplays between self and otherness in a contemporary literary narrative. Such configurations of identities and differences have been analyzed by means of an interdisciplinary approach to the minimalist short story "Cathedral" (1983) by American author Raymond Carver. The literary text problematizes the stereotypes involving otherness in terms of race, gender and physical disabilities. In such a duel of masculine performances, the first-person narrator is forced to negotiate symbolically his own phobias and anxieties concerning the differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Antonio Candido, in his famous text O direito à literatura, compares literature to dreams since, for him, in the same way that without dreaming it would be impossible to have psychic equilibrium, so does literature retrieve the bond with our own humanity, guaranteeing certain social equilibrium. Thus, the dream appears in literature not only as topos, but as its engine - in this sense, able to be related both to the concept of mímesis as well as to poiésis itself - and, yet, as an access to this humanisation in art. Therefore, reaching for such symbology of the dream, we undertake an analysis of a poem by Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa, for whom the reflection on the theme appears to manifest some of these perceptions. We believe that the appearance of the dream in the poem points not only at this metapoetic dialogue between literature and the imaginary, but also at a perception of identity and alterity as dimensions of the individual which would only be apprehensible in the state of dreaming. Having this vast range of relations in mind we will, in this article, embrace conceptions of theoreticians such as Jacques Lacan, Søren Kierkegaard, Gaston Bachelard and the aforementioned Candido, as well as Pessoa himself.

Academic studies about immigration, exile and otherness have increasingly expanded in different areas of knowledge, including literary criticism and literary theory. The figure of the immigrant and his or her representation in the literary space arouse great interest, since they present us a variety of themes and questions. All of this require from the literary critic a greater sensitivity and a plurality of views. In the Brazilian literary scene, the appearance of the figure of the immigrant is closely related to the intensification of immigration in late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In light of this, our intention in this paper is to give relevance to a subject that is part of the formation of our literature and our society. We selected as our corpus the consecrated work of Guimarães Rosa, one of the greatest Portuguese-writing authors, in order to show the recurrence of this theme even in a canonical work. As we shall see, issues such as otherness, identity, hybridity and the tensions that stemmed from differences are of crucial importance in his narratives on immigration. We hope to show how the discussion of this topic can be enriched with the support of culturalist or post-colonial theories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims at presenting the theory of recognition in the thought of Paul Ricoeur. In order to do so, it is divided in two parts. The first follows the French philosopher in his project to construct a philosophical anthropology based on the Cartesian philosophy of Reflection as well as on the Husserlian phenomenology. However, both led him to an impasse that made him detach himself from the solipsist temptation of the philosophies of consciousness. Instead, he proposed an extended mediation that encompassed the world of symbols, texts and action. The idea of recognition is therefore embedded in the development of his thinking. The second part of this paper reconstructs the argument of Ricoeur's book The course of recognition, through six fundamental themes: the obstacles of recognition; forsaking representation ; "the test of the unrecognizable"; the reconstruction of identity; the challenge of otherness; the demand for peace.

This article explores the "family albums" drawn in the portuguese writer Maria Ondina Braga's autobiographical work entitled Estátua de Sal (Statue of Salt). Based on the theories of Anne Muxel, Halbwachs and Candau, among others, our aim is to analyze, comparatively, the "albums" of the British families with whom the author lived as an au pair, and the representations of her own family. We will show how viewing the "other", the foreign reality and the transmission of cultural memory is a tool to define identity within alterity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artigo explora a construção da identidade própria, que se dá na relação com os outros, em uma sociedade da Amazônia boliviana. Ele tem como foco as atitudes ambíguas dos Ese Ejja em relação aos bolivianos (não-indígenas). Sustento que a ambivalência dos Ese Ejja reflete a natureza mutável, contextual e relacional da identidade, entendida como auto-imagem. A relação descrita é caracterizada pela autodepreciação dos Ese Ejja, parcialmente atribuível a fatores históricos, econômicos e políticos, mas também coerente com a estratégia indígena de evitar confrontação direta com entidades perigosas. Além disso, sugiro que essa postura em relação aos estranhos poderosos também pode ser lida segundo as noções sociocosmológicas indígenas relativas à alteridade e ao tornar-se outro, e a partir do sentido que têm os próprios Ese Ejja de estarem na históriaThis paper explores the construction of self-identity in relation to others in a Bolivian Amazon society, through the lens of the ambivalent attitudes of the Ese Ejja towards non-indigenous Bolivians. I argue that the Ese Ejja's ambivalence reflects the mutable, contextual and relational nature of identity, understood as self-image. The relationship described here is characterised by self-debasement on the part of the Ese Ejja. This is partly attributable to historical, economic and political factors, but is also consistent with the indigenous strategy of avoiding direct confrontation with dangerous entities. Moreover, it is suggested that this stance towards powerful foreigners can also be read in terms of indigenous socio-cosmological notions of otherness and of Other-becoming and of the Ese Ejja's own sense of being in history

Este ensaio explora as dimensões propriamente conceituais de Império, de Michael Hardt e Antonio Negri. Trata-se, basicamente, de levar a sério os autores quando afirmam que a noção não é nem uma metáfora nem uma descrição, mas um conceito. Vinculando essa afirmativa à perspectiva construtivista de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, procura-se demonstrar que o livro é uma tentativa de transpor para o plano da análise política, histórica e etnográfica concreta uma série de novas concepções acerca do poder elaboradas ao longo das décadas de 60 e 70. Nessa direção, busca-se demonstrar que o conceito de "Império" só é realmente operativo quando acompanhado de seu correlato, o de "multidão", o qual, assim como o primeiro, consiste em uma entidade conceitual que permite não apenas analisar o presente mas discernir linhas de ação nos espaços por ele desenhados.This essay explores the conceptual dimensions of Empire by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. In basic terms, it takes the authors seriously when they claim the notion is not a metaphor nor a description, but a concept. Linking this claim to the constructivist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, it argues that the book is an attempt to transpose a series of new conceptions of power developed over the 1960s and 70s onto the plane of concrete political, historical and ethnographic analysis. The essay also aims to show in the process that the concept of 'Empire' only really becomes operative when accompanied by its correlate 'multitude' - like the former, a conceptual entity that not only enables us to analyze the present but also to discern lines of action in the spaces it traces.

The present paper aims at analyzing the book I, Tituba, black witch of Salem, by Maryse Condé. The book encourages a reflection on how supernatural forces/witchcraft - which in the book, are represented by the character of the witch, in her transgressive and inquisitive character, mainly towards mechanisms of power (present in Magic Realism) and the dramatization of the "self" (present in that "posthumous autofiction") - contributed to upset and destabilize the socially imposed identity of the narrator. This identity is constructed on the basis of stereotyped representations (slave, black, female, witch, etc) so as to give voice to the subjective narrator, through fresh and unusual constructions of both subjective and identitary value.

This article aims to analyze the novel Uma aprendizagem ou O livro dos prazeres, by the writer Clarice Lispector, from the theory of the rites of passage, in particular under the articulation of its second specific point, named "margin rites". This is evident in the novel as being the most prolific of these rituals, since the protagonist is located in an interstructure, understood as a preliminary stage, which is the experience of the lived individuality, a period of isolation and autonomy from the group. In addition, this individuality becomes complementarity as Lori tries to establish a role model of fullness for her social life and it happens in relation to the other, thus constituting her identity. The other rites (separation and aggregation) also have this dynamic, but by following the process and path of the ritual, it is at the period of "margin" that we will find the possibility of better development of the actions and representations of the characters of the novel. The studied phases of Lori's life refer to the time of her adult life, her relationship with Ulysses and the deepening of her sexuality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Born in Braga in January 1932, where she also died (March 2003), the Portuguese writer and translator Maria Ondina Braga travelled to several countries, lived in England, France, India (Goa), Angola, Macau and China. Those existential journeys to different corners of the world are fictionalized into her narratives, as in Estátua de Sal (Braga, 1965b) and A Passagem do Cabo (Braga, 1994) - which will be analyzed in this work. By drawing on imagology we shall discuss the mechanisms used by the narrator in the process of identity reconstruction, through the memory in the midst of alterity and the exotic 'Other', having Macao as a scenario. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we explore frontierization practices, understood as the ways in which social groups mark an inside and an outside, in correlation with the differentiation we / others. We seek to identify how these practices operate in the dialectics State - ethnic minorities, which are core elements in the historic architecture of Latin American societies. Although as social constructs these boundaries emerge as sharp dividing lines, we address them as porous membranes selectively volatile, open to reconnections. In order to suggest some relevant and necessary analytical displacements that the current period fosters, we divided the text into four overlapping but distinguishable steps. We address first the dis / continuities in the border conceptualization in social thought. Then we enunciate how political boundaries influence the frontierization practices resulting from difference marking and recognition policies. After that, we examine what we understand as a pluralization of spatial, social and categorical boundaries. Finally, we address social and disciplinary challenges unleashed by the epistemic boundaries recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article inquires into the complex process of thought in the human mind and its relationship with the identity-formation process at both the individual and the communitarian level. Two different traditions of discourse, the psychoanalysis of Wilfred Bion and the post-romantic philosophical perspective of Emmanuel Levinas are discussed as complementary sources of reflection for political theory, especially the kind that takes into account the inner world of citizens. Considering the bond between the concept of interself and some specific circumstances of Bion s biography -- such as his enlisting in the two world wars -- some of his contributions to the theory of thought are analyzed. Early identity formation is situated in the context of human group interactions and depicted through the notion of mind-group developed by Bion, specifically stressing two of the states with major political repercussions: the fight / flight and the dependency state of the mind of the group. Both are also connected with the exercise of some forms of political authority and some specific kinds of authoritarian leadership. Last but not least, a call for openness and for infinite alterity, both in a metaphysical and a materialist sense, are considered through the Levinasian concept of the other, which, in turn, tends to be the very foundation of respect and unselfish ties between citizens.

This paper analyses the books Contos gauchescos by João Simões Lopes Neto, Lereias by Valdomiro Silveira and Grande sertão: veredas by João Guimarães Rosa, which are all written in first person. The analysis aims to understand the construction of a fictional subject who imitates orality, in order to simulate the typical speech of Brazilian regions: the South, the inlands of São Paulo and the bush ("sertão") in Minas Gerais, respectively. Orality is one of our main interests, as these books use adaptations of the written language to simulate oral expression. The paper examines also how these books deal with subjectivity, taking into account that first person writing encourages emotional, intimate situations, directing the text towards a confessional tone. Lastly, we state that writing the self leads to writing the Other, showing that regionalist literature produces, in the heart of narrative, an otherness discourse, considering regionalism a self-conscious language that works to mediate internal differences in national culture.

In his book La rebellion de los genes, Manuel Zapata Olivella raises a theory of the miscegenation that reconciles this concept with the diversity and the otherness. The miscegenation does not imply exclusion of otherness or elimination of diversity. Diversity is not subsumed under a single identity and otherness is not a perspective foreign to itself, but constitutive of his idiosyncrasy. The Other is part of the self and the recognition of this situation is a process of decolonization. To explore this approach, first examine the concepts of colonialism and alienation, with its central theme the category of idiosyncrasy. Next, we examined the relationship between diversity and miscegenation in the theory of Zapata Olivella. Then, we analyzed the relationship between the concept of miscegenation and the Other. Finally, we study the normative horizon of decolonization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
