Este artículo examina cómo se construyeron culturalmente las representaciones de las mujeres afrodescendientes en el contexto del régimen esclavista en Abya Yala. Las preguntas centrales que guían este análisis son: ¿De qué manera se representaron los cuerpos de las mujeres afrodescendientes en la colonia? ¿Y cómo se relacionaron estas representaciones con el Proyecto de Modernidad, entendido como el proceso histórico que jerarquizó a la sociedad según el color de la piel, el género y el nivel socioeconómico, influyendo en los sistemas de opresión colonial? Abordar estas cuestiones implica superar obstáculos en la investigación, especialmente el desafío de hallar fuentes dedicadas al estudio de la Abya Yala Negra. Sin embargo, mediante el análisis de obras como Cecilia Valdés de Cirilo Villaverde y El engaño de las razas de Fernando Ortiz, este estudio profundiza en cómo las literaturas de ficción y no ficción reflejan y cuestionan las representaciones de las mujeres afrodescendientes en las colonias hispanas. Estas obras revelan las complejas capas de la mentalidad supremacista blanca y su influencia en los imaginarios culturales y sociales, revelando, por ejemplo, la exotización de la mujer racializada como mulata. Por ende, este estudio nos acerca a historias marginadas que ofrecen una comprensión más profunda de la vida de las mujeres esclavizadas en el contexto colonial y su resonancia en nuestros días. Se busca contribuir al análisis histórico y cultural de las comunidades racializadas.

Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel, en su novela Cuando a Guinea se iba por mar (2019), crea una versión nueva del clásico español, Don Quijote; en lugar de La Mancha durante el siglo XVI, estamos en Guinea Ecuatorial en los años cincuenta, hacia finales del periodo colonial español en ese país. En este ensayo, argumento que el uso de la ironía, las historias intercaladas y el “héroe” tan inepto que hace de protagonista en el libro de Ávila Laurel son ecos directos e intencionados de la obra cervantina, ahora traspasados a una geografía africana y un contexto colonial. Esta reflexión analiza elementos de la obra de Ávila Laurel para concluir que en Cuando a Guinea se iba por mar se lleva a cabo un proceso de apropiación, con fines transgresores, de la novela cervantina. A través de esta apropiación, el autor realiza una inversión del concepto de una literatura canónica en español, que siempre favorece a la literatura peninsular, especialmente del llamado Siglo de Oro. Precisamente este ensayo propone una interpretación nueva del legado de Don Quijote en la literatura hispanoafricana y, de manera más ambiciosa, sugiere la necesidad de enmarcar los estudios cervantinos dentro el campo del Global Hispanophone.

Marginalised, minoritised, sexualised and racialised individuals often find themselves in positions where they are victimised, brutalised, demoralised and expected to justify their very existence. Global scholars have employed qualitative, ethnographic, anti-racist and feminist research approaches that focus on acknowledging and removing, not rearranging, unequal and violently oppressive social norms and cultural traditions. Many, whose works are shared here, have demonstrated that it is possible to debunk oppressive stereotypes in opposition to various forms of repression and oppression. This debunking makes space for addressing (through policy and law) the everyday brutal, supremacist, patriarchal, misogynistic practices (such as the accounts of gender based violence and femicide that I share). The aim here is to present auto-ethnography, action research and reflection as part of a body of work that embraces the need, and right, to make public the oftentimes demeaning and violent personal and professional experiences that have been accommodated and normalised within institutions claiming to be nurturing, democratic and adhering to principles of social justice and equity at local, national and global levels.

This article addresses Oliver Cromwell Cox's criticisms of the application of the concept of caste to understand race relations in the southern states of the Unite States. It proposes that there are deep similarities in the experiences of Dalits in India and Blacks in the United States, but argues that these derive from the modern construction of caste and race in the conjunction of colonialism and capitalism. In each case, the problems do not derive from the resilience of 'pre-modern' social structures, but from modern structures of colonialism that continue in the post-civil war United States and post-independence India. They are problems of democracy, not problems to be solved by the application of democratic values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ritual ceremony of the Papantla flyers is a pre-Hispanic cultural practice performed since 600 B. C. by various indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America. This intricate ceremony comprises multiple stages, with the most notable being “the flight,” where a group of five individuals ascend a tall mast, known as the flying pole, to perform songs and dances from the top. Tied by their feet with ropes, the flyers then descend in concentric circles until they reach the ground. This article focuses on two contemporary practices in Mexico: one at the Xcaret Tourist Park in Quintana Roo, and the other in the municipality of Papantla, Veracruz. The aim is to compare these practices to highlight the tensions between colonial legacies and community resistance. Using the method of montage, we analyze two dialectical images across different dimensions: spaces, times, technical-material contents, participating social subjects, and the objectivity of the practice itself. The results reveal the tension between the colonial persistence of capitalist modernity—manifested in the commodification and patrimonialization of the practice—and community resistance, demonstrated through the revival of memories and traditions. While this research focuses on two specific practices, the methodological and analytical approach can be applied to other activities within the ritual flyers ceremony, or to other cultural practices recognized as intangible cultural heritage. This study contributes to the field of critical heritage studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With its signing of the Havana Peace Agreement in 2016, Colombia sought to end an armed conflict that had lasted more than sixty years and had left nearly nine million victims. The agreement led to the establishment of a transitional justice (TJ) framework, including the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence, and Non-Repetition (CEV). This study identifies how the CEV incorporated the legacies of colonialism into its analytical framework. The research is based on in-depth interviews with twenty scholars specializing in colonialism and/or TJ, nineteen peacebuilders, informal conversations with CEV members, and a review of various volumes of the final report. The findings highlight that the commission adopted a long-term historical perspective, revisiting aspects of Spanish colonialism (including structural racism and the hacienda system as an institution of territorial, political, and economic order) as explanatory factors for the various forms of violence experienced during the armed conflict. Additionally, several volumes of the final report emphasize the ongoing impact of colonial legacies, viewing them more as continuities or “ruins,” using Stoler’s concept (2008). While the possibility of dismantling colonial legacies on a material level due to the CEV’s work is debated, its symbolic significance must be highlighted, especially in a context where the State had sought to erase the colonial past. This article contributes to the emerging literature that examines TJ from a decolonial perspective, providing an empirical analysis of the CEV in Colombia, which we believe can become a key reference for this field.

A central debate in contemporary Latin American social sciences revolves around the enduring presence of colonial patterns, practices, and forms of domination in research methodologies and the subjective framing of societal issues. However, decolonizing initiatives are emerging, concurrently, to challenge the ways coloniality has been entwined with the expansion of capital in the 21st century. This introductory article explores the key debates surrounding colonial persistence and decolonization within the social sciences. The dossier employs a methodology centered on documentary analysis and participatory social and political reflection, particularly through experimental approaches. The articles reviewed reveal that colonial persistence and decolonization are inherently dialectical, contradictory, and conflict-ridden, manifesting across diverse social, cultural, economic, and political domains. The uniqueness of this thematic issue lies in its ability to weave together a theoretical and conceptual discourse on symbolic and imaginary aspects within culture, spanning anthropological, legal, and educational dimensions. The analysis underscores that these issues are pluralistic and deeply intertwined with struggles over land and natural resources, enriching interdisciplinary understanding of the complex dialectical relationships between social, anthropological, economic, and political factors, alongside the aesthetics of cultural practices.

No cenário histórico enfrentado pelos países da América Latina, a ideia tradicional de um estado-nação revela-se uma noção eurocêntrica e deslocada, inaplicável aos contextos variados destas nações. Tal conceito reflete mais uma estrutura teórica e social originada em um momento e ambiente específicos da Europa. As constituições latino-americanas recentes desafiam a uniformidade estatal em um nível normativo, abraçando a pluralidade cultural, a soberania dos povos e diferentes interações com o meio ambiente. Este estudo examina como as normas voltadas para a proteção ambiental são articuladas nessas constituições modernas. Através desta análise, observa-se uma tendência em tratar a natureza como um bem ou recurso. No entanto, nestes documentos legais, encontra-se um progresso significativo ao reconhecerem e valorizarem a multiplicidade de identidades, formas de existência e a importância crítica de reintegrar o ser humano ao seu contexto natural.

Avalio a relevância da obra da antropóloga sul-africana Jess Auerbach à luz da formação da sociedade angolana ao longo do período colonial. Argumento, do ponto de vista dos estudos angolanistas, que a independência do país não acarretou rupturas robustas que tenham alterado o funcionamento da sociedade e que, portanto, não é possível desvencilhar a historicidade do contexto contemporâneo onde está inserida a classe média analisada. Ainda assim, as contribuições da autora para a antropologia atravessam toda a obra: a didática, a transparência e as reflexões sobre o trabalho de campo, a escrita e o ensino da disciplina torna a obra instigante e necessária.

This essay interrogates the intersections of colonialism, western science, and desire through an analysis of the outbreak of kuru in Papua New Guinea in the mid-20th century. I argue that cannibalism drew eyes to the eastern highlands, and the discovery of kuru kept the colonial gaze fixed firmly on the region. Finally, I explore how the appetites of D. Carleton Gajdusek, both medical and sexual, further entrenched western power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The construction of subaltern and peripheral identities during Hispanic colonialism in the 16th-19th centuries responded to an alleged ideology of white supremacy, which excluded Andalusia as a component of the colonizing project. Our main objective is to investigate the representations of coloniality in the field of Andalusian identity. Based on a post-structuralist approach, we apply a qualitative methodology that allows us to interpret social representations through the results obtained from open interviews with 12 people from the north of Spain. Among the results, the opinion stands out that there is an element that contributes to the (re)stereotyping of the Andalusian identity; that is, its diffusion in the media. It is confirmed that it is possible to reveal the relations of domination that occur between groups of people from the north and south of Spain through the representations of Andalusia, which symbolize a process of ethnification.

The principle of self-determination of peoples is an indispensable legal tool for respect for Human Rights, as it promotes the political emancipation of subjugated peoples. However, given the way public international law is created, the principle has been manipulated by colonial States to use it as an argument functional to their interests and not as an instrument of respect for Human Rights. One of the States that has carried out this Manichean manipulation has been the United Kingdom. In Latin America, it uses it as a bastion to sustain the occupation of the Malvinas Islands and its projection of power towards Antarctica. Its strategy in South America has been to create a fictitious population and defend self-determination at all costs. However, less known is its strategy in the Indian Ocean, in collusion with its historical ally, the United States. This article aims to analyze the manipulations of international law that the United Kingdom has carried out with respect to the State of Mauritius and the population of the Diego García atoll, where it has flagrantly violated human rights, and, at the same time, what international law tools they have used those violated to defend themselves from colonial arrogance.

This work analyzes the recovery in 19th century Japan of the samurai figure Hasekura Tsunenaga (1571-1622) and the embassy he led to Europe in the early 17th century. This embassy, with its international character, garnered the attention of historians, intellectuals, and journalists in Japan during the 19th century. Through the examination of books, newspaper articles, and textbooks, we will explore how Hasekura's portrayal evolved by the end of the 19th century, adapting to Japan's changing needs in a context marked by mercantile expansionism and colonialism. In doing so, we shed light on an overlooked aspect of the interaction between the Iberian powers and 17th-century Japan: its second life within the process of integration into the cultural memory of the Japanese in the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, some aspects of which still survive today.

This study, developed at the master's level, investigated theoretical-methodological possibilities for exploring the Awelé game, part of the Mancala family --a group of Asian-African games based on sowing and harvesting--, in the context of pedagogical practices focused on teaching anti-racist mathematics. Its central objective was to explore the Awelé game with a view to developing a Didactic Sequence. This is a participatory research conducted with a group of 21 students who were taking the subject "Knowledge and Methodologies of Teaching Mathematics 2", during the first semester of 2021, in the Pedagogy Course at the Federal University of Alagoas, Campus Arapiraca. The extract from these analyses allowed the presentation of a teaching proposal that can be applied both to students of teacher training courses and in classes in the early years of Elementary School, and that focuses on the reflection on the need to subvert the order of board games and digital games that point out winners and losers. The sharing of knowledge that takes place due to the withdrawal of this game from the abyss of oblivion into which racism and colonialism threw it, makes it possible to think about struggles in favor of another society.

A fotografia em contexto colonial se mostra hoje como uma fonte importante e complexa para a historiografia dos impérios contemporâneos. Mesmo o breve imperialismo alemão utilizou-se largamente do aparato fotográfico para registrar as mais diversas cenas e gentes coloniais, assim como a partir de tal material fizeram-se inúmeros usos em diferentes suportes materiais. A partir do arquivo fotográfico da Sociedade Colonial Alemã, pretende-se aqui desenvolver uma análise sobre fotografias coloniais, buscando inseri-las no amplo contexto do desenvolvimento da política imperialista e do racialismo enquanto um discurso pretensamente científico. Para tanto, partiremos de um mesmo espaço geográfico em dois momentos distintos: em primeiro lugar, discutiremos acerca do papel da visualidade sobre o Outro como um elemento partícipe do empreendimento colonial; num segundo momento, pensaremos sobre a permanência da ideologia racialista no antigo território colonial alemão da África de Sudoeste, a partir de registros fotográficos e atividades dos colonos alemães vinculados ao Partido Nazista neste espaço africano.

En este artículo, expongo una reflexión teórico-metodológica derivada de mi investigación sobre las políticas y procesos de securitización de personas musulmanas en España, en la era post-11S. Argumento la urgencia de descolonizar la investigación sobre el islam y las comunidades musulmanas por dos razones principales: la prevalencia del paradigma securitario en su estudio e intervención, y la legitimación de políticas de criminalización, estigmatización y precarización a través de la colaboración académico-institucional y la influencia de agentes de seguridad. Desde una perspectiva feminista decolonial, destaco la importancia de tener como guía el horizonte descolonizador, la necesidad de adaptar las metodologías a la posicionalidad del investigador y en relación con las comunidades musulmanas, y el imperativo de dirigir la atención hacia las prácticas institucionales de dominación.

Resumo: Considerando a atualidade e a pertinência do debate racial no campo da educação científica, pretende-se, com este artigo, apresentar um corpo teórico para compreensão e análise das problemáticas relacionadas sob a perspectiva do materialismo histórico e dialético. Parte-se da constatação da sub-representação, baixa participação e alienação das pessoas negras nos contextos produtivos das ciências naturais, resultante da conformação histórica do processo produtivo e ideológico da sociedade atual, cujas determinações são analisadas a partir da unidade teórica colonialismo-capitalismo-racismo. Nesse sentido, apresenta-se a dimensão da problemática sob a referida perspectiva teórica e se propõe a relação Trabalho-Educação-Ciência (TEC) como unidade analítica contribuindo para a explicação das problemáticas raciais atuais e lançando luz sobre a função política da educação científica para sua superação.

La vorágine sumerge en la selva amazónica colombiana durante el auge del caucho. Aborda temas como explotación de recursos naturales y comunidades indígenas, pérdida de identidad cultural y desplazamiento forzado, enfrentando la brutalidad de la explotación cauchera. Muestra cómo las compañías caucheras arrasan con la selva sometiendo indígenas a condiciones inhumanas, a medida que la selva es devastada, y los indígenas se ven obligados a abandonar sus tradiciones y modos ancestrales, generando una profunda reflexión sobre las consecuencias de la colonización y la explotación en la diversidad cultural. Es una obra que confronta con las realidades de la condición humana y desafía a reflexionar sobre las responsabilidades bioéticas hacia el ambiente y el ser humano. A través de su narrativa poderosa, nos recuerda la importancia de preservar la belleza y la diversidad del mundo natural y trabajando juntos para construir un mundo justo, equitativo y sostenible. El objetivo del presente escrito es crear reflexión en lector acerca de la obra, no se pretende llegar a conclusiones definitivas sino por el contrario generar aún más interés en conocer a profundidad la obra desde distintas miradas.

Las propiedades de la imagen en los circuitos comunicacionales contemporáneos están cada vez más ligadas a un contexto material muy concreto, desde los combustibles fósiles de los que depende, los cables de fibra óptica y centros de datos que recorre a los propios dispositivos que la producen y reproducen. Mediante el término “imagen-energía” apelo a la finitud de aquello que, a pesar de ser intangible, tiene un impacto medioambiental muy concreto, para poder entender críticamente las complejidades que rodean hoy a lo visual; una imagen cada vez más acelerada, que ha roto con la linealidad de su producción para ser recombinada una y otra vez en luz, en electricidad, en calor; pero nunca desprendida de su herencia ideológica, colonial y capitalista.

El presente artículo presenta los primeros hallazgos sobre una investigación acerca de los procesos de conformación y reproducción de identidad frente al racismo estructural en grupos Teenek del norte de Veracruz migrantes en la zona conurbada del sur de Tamaulipas. La propuesta se inscribe en los estudios sobre migración indígena y racismo. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la situación de los migrantes teenek en la actualidad y la manera en que los diversos racismos y clasismos que experimentan afectan su formación identitaria. La metodología utilizada es de tipo cualitativo. Se aplicaron como herramientas de investigación la entrevista semiestructurada y la revisión documental. Una de las conclusiones del escrito es que no se presenta un solo tipo de racismo sino varios sobre los indígenas tének, además las maneras en que se afecta su identidad depende de los recursos sociales, económicos y culturales que las y los migrantes tienen desde su lugar de origen.

Este artículo actual aborda, desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, la relación entre la memoria, la naturaleza y el colonialismo a través del diálogo con las obras de artistas brasileños, con el propósito de señalar cómo el arte contemporáneo brasileño, especialmente aquel que se involucra con las tecnologías, ha llevado al debate las crisis ambientales y las violencias relacionadas con los procesos de colonización. Inicialmente, se señala la necesidad de una mirada plural hacia la memoria para resaltar el aumento de las prácticas de memoria en la era digital, impulsado por las redes sociales. Luego, se exploran proyectos artísticos que abordan la relación entre la memoria, la naturaleza y la tecnología. “Solastalgia” de Lucas Bambozzi denuncia la degradación ambiental causada por la minería de hierro en Minas Gerais. “Memoria de la Tierra”, de Paulo Tavares, aborda la desposesión de los pueblos indígenas de sus territorios y la resistencia a través de la memoria y la documentación. “Caminantes”, una exposición en línea, investiga la historia ficticia de un etnógrafo suizo para cuestionar el colonialismo de los pueblos originarios y las prácticas de vigilancia en el ámbito de la memoria de datos. Por último, “Terra de Gigantes” de Daniel Lima propone un juego de proporciones e interacciones con el público, involucrando la tecnología con las memorias ancestrales. A pesar de las diferencias, los proyectos analizados crean un diálogo potente entre la memoria y el olvido, la memoria y la ‘contramemoria’. Explican los juegos de poder presentes en la construcción de la memoria y en la compleja relación entre la ‘memoria de la tierra’, la ‘memoria de datos’ y las tecnologías ancestrales. Exploran las complejas relaciones entre el pasado, el presente y el futuro, promoviendo un diálogo crítico sobre la memoria y su papel político en el contexto contemporáneo.

With the end of the colonial empire, following the Revolution of April 25th, 1974, the borders and identity of the Portuguese nation were redefined. In this context, around half a million citizens from the former colonies were repatriated to Portugal. Their arrival raises important questions about national identity and collective memory. Through a multidimensional analysis of memory, which reveals the complexity of memorial production and reproduction, this article addresses issues of citizenship and (post-)imperial identity related to Portuguese returnees. The text highlights the identity friction resulting from the failure to integrate the returnees into the national collective memory. The recent presence of these Portuguese in Africa and the need for their return after the end of the empire in 1975 questions the narrative of the country of the Discoveries and the "heroes of the Sea", calling into question the idea of an imperial history without colonial and racial conflicts.

The article explores the connections between Jewish history and the Italian decolonization through the prism of the Libyan Jewry's mobility to Italy between 1948 and 1951 and between 1967 and 1970. At the same time, the analysis sheds light on how the attitude of the Italian autorities towards the Jews of Libya was moved by the hope of an Italian return to Libya in the immediate postwar period, and by the willingness to maintain sound political, commercial and cultural ties with its former colony after Libyan independence.

From a decolonial perspective, and taking Latin America as its case study, this article discusses southern criminology --a body of work that has consolidated in the region and other Global South countries, and that aims at explaining crime and violence, together with the social control responses they elicit, as part of the colonial matrix of power. The article claims that southern criminology has the potential to contribute to the discussion of crime, violence, and social control in Latin America in at least two aspects: first, it may provide an incisive analysis of the relations between different forms of violence and subordination, on the one hand, and the punitive and exclusive responses of Latin American political regimes to these phenomena, on the other. Second, it may contribute a suggestive explanation of how the forms of social control that have emerged in different countries of the region since their birth as independent republics are closely linked to the construction of political, economic, and social orders that are part of the colonial matrix of power.

O artigo propõe uma análise da experiência das mulheres nigerianas no século XX, destacando especialmente a contribuição da escritora igbo Flora Nwapa para a compreensão desse contexto. Inspirado pela necessidade de uma abordagem histórica da África que valorize perspectivas endógenas, o texto utiliza o diálogo entre História e Literatura como base metodológica. O ensaio concentra-se na análise do romance “Women Are Different” (1992), especificamente como Flora Nwapa percebeu o papel do colonialismo britânico na educação das mulheres igbo, evidenciando o protagonismo destas diante das transformações sociais em suas comunidades. A estrutura do artigo divide-se em duas partes principais: a primeira aborda a educação de meninas igbo no contexto colonial, enquanto a segunda discute as implicações do colonialismo na formação das elites nigerianas, destacando como Flora Nwapa interpretava esses impactos e a busca por uma emancipação que reconhecesse suas raízes culturais.

Artigo bibliográfico com base na literatura comparada faz uma abordagem das relações de poder e de gênero, a partir de duas obras literárias situadas em contextos colonizados nos quais mulheres racializadas são as personagens principais. Trata-se do romance de Sylvia Aranha Ribeiro Francisca - e a utopia da liberdade (2010) e do conto Ninguém matou Suhura (2013) da escritora moçambicana Lilia Momplé. Em ambas as narrativas predomina a ideologia da colonização na qual o colonizador impetra os paradigmas sociais com base na colonialidade do ser, da natureza, do saber e do gênero, na medida em que essas categorias são pensadas e relacionadas tendo como parâmetro as concepções eurocêntricas, etnocêntricas e patriarcais. Essa discussão se faz em diálogo com as duas obras acima citada e com a devida fundamentação teórica, acerca da colonialidade, poder e gênero Quijano (2005), Lugones (2008), Vergé (2020) sobre as relações institucionalizadas, sexualidade e raça (Bourdieu, 2012) Foucault (1998) entre outras bibliografias que deram embasamento as discussões em torno dessas narrativas literárias.

El artículo de reflexión problematiza el racismo y la desigualdad que vivencian las personas negras en la educación superior en Colombia y rastrea las acciones afirmativas de carácter racial. Evoca saberes otros africanos, afrodiaspóricos e indígenas y sus aportes al conocimiento, en una historicidad que la racionalidad moderna/colonial excluyó. Así como también las prácticas/sabidurías ancestrales que circulan de forma continua en los territorios y, desde otras pedagogías, mantienen vivos los saberes afrodiaspóricos. Este concluye con reflexiones para repensar la universidad e invita al sentipensar para unir cabeza y corazón, y, a las cosmopercepciones, desde los análisis epistemológicos y ontológicos de diversos modos de conocer, ser y existir desde los territorios ancestrales.

The Zambezian trilogy, by Gavicho de Lacerda, published in the 1920s, is part of the dawn of Portuguese colonial literature with a Mozambican theme. However, the works didn’t achieve public acclaim through the Concursos de Literatura Colonial, nor are they part of the corpus of recent publication on colonial literature with a Mozambican theme (Noa, 2002; Sousa, 2013), except for the thesis by Neves (2016). In this article, from the analysis of the books Cartas da Zambézia (1920), Costumes e Lendas da Zambézia (1925) and Figuras e Episódios da Zambézia (1929), we seek to understand how the author constructs miscegenation and the relations between colonizers and colonized, just as we seek to infer gender and sexuality perspectives on African populations, especially non-assimilated ones.

El objetivo de este artículo es describir algunas variables obtenidas de entrevistas e intervenciones etnográficas realizadas con personas de la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) que permiten interpretar, desde una visión émica, cómo se vive la experiencia de ser pobre en Cartagena o qué significa ser pobre en esa ciudad, contrastado con indicadores oficiales del programa Cartagena cómo vamos (2022). Desde el punto de vista teórico, interpretamos los resultados considerando la pobreza como parte de un sistema de relaciones sociales que no solo tiene que ver con la cantidad de ingreso y consumo de quienes la padecen y como consecuencia estructural e histórica de relaciones económicas, políticas y coloniales. Los primeros resultados muestran que las privaciones económicas y emocionales de una parte de la población cartagenera devienen de un sistema de exclusión racial que sobrevive hasta nuestros días.

Este ensaio busca contextualizar a ebulição histórica da década de 1980, recorte temporal em que se passa a maior parte da narrativa de Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, Luanda, Lisboa, Paraíso (2019). Considerando a ocor­rência concomitante de alguns eventos históricos – a colonização, o regime salazarista português e as guerras coloniais de libertação dos países africanos –, intenta-se traçar algumas observações acerca das masculi­nidades vigentes nesse período, bem como dos seus paradigmas e subversões, alocando as personagens do romance, nomeadamente Cartola e Aquiles. Para tanto, recorre-se aos estudos de Rosas (2001), a fim de perspectivar o Estado Novo português; de Lugarinho (2017), que traça a aparição das masculinidades em algumas produções literárias dos PALOPs; e de Stanley (2019), cujo trabalho permite estabelecer parâmetros entre os regimes fascistas globais e a ditadura de Salazar, em Portugal. Evocam-se outros estudos para a elaboração deste trabalho, mas os já citados são basilares porquanto permitem colocar em perspectiva a construção das personagens principais do romance de Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida.

El presente artículo tiene como propósito profundizar en los conceptos más destacados de James Tully y Glen Coulthard respecto del colonialismo, la descolonización, y la identidad indígena. Mediante un análisis comparativo de las obras de ambos autores, se repasan los nudos teóricos y puntos de discusión más relevantes para la actual discusión acerca de la interculturalidad y la descolonización. En una primera parte se analizan las distintas perspectivas sobre el colonialismo, y en la segunda, sus propuestas respecto de la descolonización. Si bien ambos convergen en varios aspectos, la divergencia de los diagnósticos de ambos autores los lleva a desarrollar en algunos pasajes análisis contrapuestos. En la tercera parte, una vez se repasan las controversias sobre la reconciliación y la dialéctica del amo y del esclavo, se concluye sobre la importancia de profundizar en el interjuego de los efectos de reconocimiento institucional y la producción de subjetividades indígenas en el contexto de las estructuras políticas estatales.

En el presente artículo tiene como propósito explorar los desafíos que implica el estudio de los fenómenos de alcoholismo y abuso de sustancias al interior de comunidades mapuches, concibiendo estos fenómenos como conductas autodestructivas condicionadas por las estructuras coloniales y opresivas a las cuales se enfrentan los individuos y familias. A través de una revisión histórica, se busca entender la profundidad de esta desestructuración sociocultural y proponemos una metodología descolonizadora orientada a la co-creación de conocimiento sobre el alcoholismo y abuso de sustancias, remarcando el potencial de esta como herramienta de cuidado, empoderamiento y sanación. Aquí destacamos la focalización en la realidad subjetiva indígena en un contexto específico de sufrimiento por los efectos del sistema colonial, la perspectiva de salud integral y bienestar informada culturalmente, y los estilos y modalidades comunicativas mapuches, donde la conversación en mapuzungun es el principal medio por el cual se articulan estas estrategias.

No es posible hablar del pensamiento de Hegel acerca de la inclusión sin hacer, al mismo tiempo, un balance de la alienación que pretende disolver. Ante ello, el pensamiento de la inclusión no deja de ofrecer una salida siempre demasiado apresurada, iluminada por el sectarismo y el esoterismo que lo caracterizan. En virtud de ello, la exclusión de uno —no como exclusión del otro, sino como elevación de la exclusión de sí a condición de libertad para los otros— se convierte en el verdadero paradigma del entusiasmo del espíritu. La formación o Bildung de un individuo refiere esta tensión entre la operación de autoenajenación y el esfuerzo por forjar comunidad, en la base de todo el proceso. Intento aquí exponer la manera en que Hegel se interrogó acerca de la inteligibilidad universal de la ciencia como conclusión de la lucha entre estos dos polos. El sistema de posibilidad de la experiencia, que conforma la Fenomenología del espíritu, ejemplifica así una superación del sectarismo inclusivo inspirada en la enigmática promesa de una ilusión de libertad absoluta, alcanzada por medio del conocimiento.

This paper engages in a sociolegal analysis of the anti-corruption legislation enacted by the Puerto Rican Government in the aftermath of Maria (2017). The paper pays particular attention to the implementation and sociolegal impact of Act 2 of January 4, 2018, entitled, “The Anti-Corruption Code for the New Puerto Rico” and the creation of a Registry of Persons Convicted of Corruption. The rationale behind the Act and the Registry is to enforce transparency, open governance, and help the Puerto Rican government in its efforts to eradicate public corruption. Conversely, this paper argues that these reforms have introduce a punitive approach to anti-corruption in PR. Approach that I have termed, punitive governance. The paper suggests Act 2 and the Registry had have a dual outcome: 1) a punitive approach to corruption that harm people in precarious positions, and 2) normalize the structural dynamic enabling corruption the powerful. Thus, this paper intends to illustrate the contradictions in anti-corruption as punitive governance, and the way in which a specific image of corruption is reproduced through governmental actions, legal practices, and discourses. Este artículo realiza un análisis socio-jurídico de la legislación anticorrupción promulgada por el Gobierno de Puerto Rico tras el paso del huracán María (2017). El articulo presta especial atención a la implementación e impacto socio-jurídico de la Ley 2 de 4 de enero de 2018, titulada “El Código Anticorrupción para el Nuevo Puerto Rico” y la creación de un Registro de Personas Convictas por Actos de Corrupción. La razón fundamental detrás de la Ley y el Registro es hacer cumplir políticas de transparencia, la gobernabilidad y ayudar al gobierno de Puerto Rico en sus esfuerzos por erradicar la corrupción en el sector público. Por el contrario, este artículo argumenta que estas reformas han introducido un enfoque punitivo para combatir la corrupción en PR. El artículo sugiere que la Ley 2 y el Registro tuvieron un doble resultado: 1) un enfoque punitivo de la corrupción que perjudica a las personas en posiciones precarias, y 2) normalizar la dinámica estructural que permite la corrupción de los poderosos. Así, este artículo pretende ilustrar las contradicciones de la anticorrupción como gobernanza punitiva, y la forma en que se reproduce una imagen específica de corrupción a través de acciones gubernamentales, prácticas jurídicas y discursos legales.

Debatemos os rastros presentes na distopia de nossos laços sociais contemporâneos enquanto restos da colonialidade que sobrevivem em nossa cultura. Metodologicamente, recorremos a personagens do imaginário coletivo que interrogam o lugar do outro na cena social e na política. Compreendemos que os zumbis enquanto imagem mnêmica social trazem visibilidade às políticas de degradação do outro - sua dominação, seu extermínio, bem como da desmobilização política. A contextualização histórica e geográfica da origem e da construção desses personagens reforça a constatação da lógica colonizadora e escravagista ali presente, fundamentada nos modos de captura dos desejos, dos corpos e da vida dos sujeitos, culminando no efeito de obliteração das perspectivas de futuro. A figura do zumbi enquanto a lembrança encobridora do negro escravizado haitiano denuncia a desqualificação das lutas de libertação como nada mais que atos violentos de uma horda acéfala, bem como oferece a oportunidade de reinstituir a dignidade dos movimentos que visam à transformação social. Dentro de determinada perspectiva crítica, os zumbis passam a representar a imagem mnêmica social dos libertários que não cessam de lutar. Tornam-se a simbolização do impossível de governar; reagem ao destino certo da condição de mortos, recuperando a potência de construção de um comum na alteridade.
