The aim is to examine the similarities and differences between the works of Alair Gomes and Rotimi Fani-Kayode. The central argument points out that both sought to exploit the subversive potential of homoeroticism by bringing to light the existence of dissident spaces and times that destabilize repulsive norms to homoerotic sociability. Gomes revealed subversive spaces in which the desire for the naked male body and the pleasure of the voyeur could be instigated and developed narratives that captured the spontaneity and sensuality of the moment. Fani-Kayode emphasized the spatial and cultural deplacement and the multiple temporalities that coexisted in the same environment. He questioned hierarchies based on the spiritual and homoerotic fantasy and the exaltation of cultural and sexual difference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objectives of this paper are to explain the little initial attention given by International Relation' authors to religion, examine the impact of the increased attention to religion in this area by its specialists from the 1970s on and identify the ways in which religion influences international politics nowadays. The little initial attention given by IR authors to religion is related to the predominance of "secularization thesis" in the Social Sciences, which holds that there is a growing distinction between the religious and secular spheres, religious belief became more appropriately consigned to the private sphere and the privatization of religion has become an indispensable condition for the development of the modern political systems. The increased attention to religion impacts the area of International Relations because analysts need to explore how religion defines the direction, nature and outcome of wars and other events and thus develop more complex theoretical frameworks that overcome the limitations of the mainstream IR theories. Religion can influence international politics in the development of standards and principles in terms of their basic parameters, players and codes of conduct that guide conflict and war among political units in the international system and expand the normative view of the main actors in international politics for a more robust recognition of human rights. However, religion can also influence the identities and motivations of people in a conflict, the scope and intensity of the political objectives of a religious group and the transnational nature of groups and communities. In their most inclusive perspectives, religions can create loyalties that allow more justice and peace to all mankind and provide bases for transnational efforts aimed at improving governance at all levels of social interaction.

The objective is to examine how mayor of São Paulo city João Doria Jr. on Instagram dealt with issues related to creative economy in his official profile. In texts, images and videos available in the social network, Doria Jr. aims to reinforce his image as a "creative entrepreneur", endowed with technical and entrepreneurial skills geared toward the economic development of São Paulo. Although most users reinforce such representation, other followers criticize actions of the mayor seeing them as elitist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An introduction to a special dossier is presented which discusses topics including the impact of the Global Financial Crisis 2008-2009 on the position of the U.S. in the international system, the concept of great powers, and the strategies of emerging economies to manage the financial crisis.

From the reflection on the interaction of the professional career of Sergio Vieira de Mello with the dynamic performance of the institutions of the United Nations system, the central argument of this paper is that the major flaws in the promotion of peace and security by multilateral institutions like the UN come from division and dispersion of the stronger members, that use instrumentally institutions to maintain and expand their power and create gaps in performance easily exploited by combatants in political and humanitarian crisis situations around the world. Given this circumstance, the emergence of new threats in the international system can lead to localized and confined changes by attracting the attention of states to the role of international organizations in the promotion of legitimacy, the development of dialogue with the parties involved in disputes, security building and the destabilization of the hierarchies in the relationship with the difference.

The article examines newspaper coverage of the September 11, 2001 U.S. terrorist attacks in the Brazilian newspapers "O Globo" and "A Folha de S. Paulo" on the day following the attacks. It analyzes issues of difference and exclusion in these journalistic accounts from a post-structuralist perspective. According to the author, these newspapers depicted Brazil as an insider, aligned more closely to the internalized values of North America, while placing groups outside the North American political worldview into the role of dysfunctional, uncivilized outsiders. It is suggested that these accounts were a continuation of Brazil's pattern of endorsing Western perspectives as a way of seeking more relevance in world politics and reinforcing the modern international political system.
