This article aims to analyze the conflicts and divisions between Brazilian and foreign missionaries and leaders of the Baptist Church and the Assembly of God Church during the initial period of implementation of Pentecostalism in Brazil in the 1910s and the 1930s. The research analyzed historical documents, such as newspapers and personal diaries of missionaries, published later. It was possible to conclude that the disputes between the Protestants and the Pentecostals involved the search for religious and social legitimacy through processes of differentiation. Such antagonism included radical otherness and the production of categories, taking Afro-Brazilian religions as negative referents, and calling Pentecostal believers spiritualists or sorcerers.

The contemporary Brazilian context offers a growing artistic and cultural production, generated by LGBTQIA+ subjects, which disputes narratives and sensitivity, and suggests new ways of being in the social world. This article looks at how such artistic-cultural production can bring critiques and contributions on peacebuilding. The article questions how to think peacebuilding from queer perspectives: it confronts peacebuilding with dissident critiques, in order to think a possible idea of queer peace. This is proposed through the aesthetic experience, in articulations between affection and politics that mobilize relations of recognition and otherness, from a sensitive perception of the discourses of resistance and affirmation of existence. To conduct an analysis that values culture --and its aesthetic and sensitive character-- as a relevant field for research in the social and political sciences, we discuss the short film Negrum3 by filmmaker Diego Paulino. This audiovisual object is analyzed through a brief historical incursion, which presents a picture of LGBTQIA+ public policies in Brazil and their possible bridges with an idea of peacebuilding, and a theoretical reflection that contrasts decolonial theories with figures from the European academia. Thus, we reflect on how a queer peace can be built in the dimension of aesthetic experience, which is also political, and allows us to imagine and enable new forms of life. Our conclusion is that queer peace is a challenging conception, which retains its challenges and is based on a critique of hegemonic and institutionalized apprehensions of peace. In this sense, the artistic-cultural production, with its aesthetic approaches, appears as an inventive path. The originality of the article consists in its articulation of queer theories and, above all, of aesthetic and political practices, to think about peacebuilding in Brazil's social reality.

This article presents an analysis of social representations about the professional future perspective of students with disabilities and other specific educational needs of a Federal Institute of Goiás. The research was quantitative and qualitative. For data collection, a semistructured interview was used with the participation of 17 students. Data processing was performed using the Iramuteq software. The study was guided by the Theory of Social Representations, by Moscovici (2003); by the historical aspects of the deficiencies; and by the evidence of legislation that supports Inclusive Education in Brazil. From the analyses, it was concluded that the research subjects value training, anchor their future perspectives in education and work, out of personal need, but mainly because of their "self", which historically and socially was excluded and marginalized. The acceptance and recognition of their identity was observed, but the acceptance and the look of the other are still processes to be overcome, regardless of spaces and social relationships. However, this work contributed to showing the importance of otherness and inclusion, mainly to reinforce that educational spaces contribute to the formation of subjects with rights in the face of diversity.

With the worsening of the migratory crisis today, due to the inability of different countries to comply with their obligations, the fragility of international agreements ends up being evidenced. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand the limits of legal norms based on the critical theory of human rights and the ethics of otherness, considering the basic assumptions of refugee rights, as established by the Refugee Statute and applied in Brazil with the law 9.474/1997. As far as it was possible to perceive, from the critical perspective of Douzinas e Flores, human rights were consolidated as a legal abstraction that compromised their effectiveness. Based on Lévinas’ ethics of otherness, it was understood that abstract universalism does not imply the recognition of the other refugee, and it is necessary to consider human rights as a priority in its intersubjective dimension, so that laws and public policies are constructed with the participation of refugees themselves, subject to rights.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how "Galibi do Oiapoque", "Galibi Marworono", "Palikur", and "Karipuna" build their place-territories where they exert territorial vigilance and develop their territorial identities independently of multiple interactions between these indigenous peoples. Research data was collected on bibliography, news reports, documents, association's and ONG's reunion transcripts and interviews. It is concluded that there is a place-territory proper to these indigenous peoples that is superposed in the Brazil-French Guiana frontier; there is a strong territorial identity, even if with fragilized territorialities facing spatial tensions decurrent from inadequate interventions and the absence of adequate indigenouscentered policies.

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

My option in studying objects never, or almost never, addressed by Brazilian Anthropology calls for questioning both the definition of object and the locus of research, and for continued attention to two dimensions of the ethnographic practice. The first is about interactions between reason and emotion in the definition of our research agendas. The second is the concern with the effects on the anthropological perspective when alterity is sidelined against the growing number of auto-ethnographies. In this paper, I address these questions on the basis of four fieldwork experiences of my professional trajectory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article traces the intellectual history of the sertão as a concept that not only signifies distinct geographical and topographical traits but also Portugal's projection of cultural Otherness. Though the sertão remains inextricably bound to Brazilian culture, this article seeks to demonstrate the Portuguese roots of the sertão, especially as manifest in Portuguese cartography from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. The cartographic history of the sertão deepens our understanding of Portugal's cartographic imagination, colonial expansion, exploration of Brazil's vast interior, and encounters with indigenous peoples.

The examination of identity issues, in their respective forms of cultural representation, becomes productive in the light of Post-Colonial Studies -- an interdisciplinary academic area of increasing relevance today, and of special interest for comparative literature and theory. A critical counter-discourse vis-à-vis hegemonic interpretative trends and models, Post-Colonialism re-reads the cultural production ideologically committed to the colonial apparatus in its various aspects and facades, and investigates, above all, alternative voices and deviant ways derived from the populations subjugated in the imperialistic process of European colonization. The present article emphasizes the importance of Post-Colonial Studies in the Brazilian university as it undertakes a contrastive analysis of British colonialism and the Portuguese (the latter, historically subaltern in relation to the former). Contemporary post-colonial reflection of different sources is here problematized, together with inherent questions of ambiguity and hybridity, alterity and otherness, representation and identity.
