Lixo, racismo e injustiça ambiental na Região Metropolitana de Belém

Resumo A lógica da produção e de descarte de resíduos sólidos é expressão das mais perversas e paradoxais da desigual distribuição de poder no capitalismo. Estigmatiza com a ideia de “atraso”, de “indesejáveis”, indivíduos e lugares “descartáveis”, que recebem os resíduos e os riscos a eles associados que a sociedade de consumo produz. Ancorado em pesquisa documental e bibliográfica e em entrevistas abertas com moradores e ativistas envolvidos na luta pela retirada do Lixão de Marituba, como é conhecido o irregular e polêmico aterro da Região Metropolitana de Belém, este artigo focaliza e discute o caso – emblemático como cena colonial na contemporânea Amazônia urbana – a partir dos marcos da ecologia política e das noções de justiça ambiental, colonialidades, racismo e necropoder.

The Competing Politics of Austrian Glocalization Covid-19, Crime and (Anti-)Racism

Based on a carefully contextualised discussion of discursive and semiotic contributions to public debate in Austria during the politically charged summer of 2020, this article captures ideologically different, at times mutually opposed glocalizing strategies. The social sites and entanglement of “the global” and “the local” examined are the following: a parliamentary address in which neo-nationalist rhetoric is framed by global points of reference; local appropriations of the Black Lives Matter movement for the purposes of symbolic protest against public monuments commemorating problematic regional histories; and recent public debates in Austria that illustrate the glocalization of everyday politics. In each example, global contexts provide crucial momentum for the articulation of local concerns and mobilisations. The ensuing analysis helps illuminate some of the distinctly transnational, enabling conditions for ideological contest in Austria today. In methodological terms, the discussion demonstrates that an understanding of locally specific appropriations of a diversity of global flows demands ethnographic sensitivity, historical contextualisation, and local knowledge.

“Ser y valer”: Tres retratos de la diáspora femenina plasmados en la novela gráfica por mujeres artistas

En este estudio se han analizado tres novelas gráficas: La Perdida de Jessica Abel, Pérsepolis de Marjane Satrapi y Patria de Nina Bunjevac, publicadas durante el periodo comprendido entre los años 2002-2015, con el objetivo de señalar como desde la identidad femenina a partir de esta manifestación plástica multidisciplinar contemporánea se describen acontecimientos complejos y desgraciados de la historia del tiempo presente cómo son: el desarraigo, el exilio, el racismo y la indefensión. Desde el análisis de contenido demostraremos la importancia que tienen las novelas gráficas referidas como documento histórico. Narradas desde la experiencia personal de las aludidas autoras-dibujantes y a la par migrantes voluntarias e involuntarias de nacionalidades tan dispares como la norteamericana, iraní, y europea del este, contextualizándolo en el lugar del que parten hacia el que se dirigen para asentarse. Con anterioridad elaboramos una introducción que se bifurca en dos visiones de interés: una conceptual sobre el origen de la migración y su connotación antropológica y otra que refiere y considera a la novela gráfica un recurso considerable, -aunque todavía inédito para la historiografía-, para crear conciencia sobre temas históricos-sociológicos tan controvertidos cómo los expuestos. Discurso que seguiremos desarrollando en un futuro a partir de los siguientes títulos: Sansamba de Susanna Marín, Sofía y el Negro de Judith Vanistendeal, Rolling Blackouts. Dispatches from Turkey, Siria and Iraq de Sarah Gliden y Bienvenue à Calais, Les raisons de la colère de Marie-Françoise Colombani

The Two Pandemics

I write these words in early June in the northeastern United States Incongruously, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and flowers bloom This apparent paradise is at odds with the two pandemics gripping this nation and the world at large: coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and racism Recent weeks and months have seen a string of horrifying events, one after another The brutal police violence that took the lives of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd and the vigilante murder of Ahmaud Arbery may seem to have little to do with the novel coronavirus that has killed over 400,000 people as of this writing However, these traumatic, disastrous outcomes are linked by the overarching and systemic racism that affects Black Americans and people of

Corporalidades racializadas desde el discurso visual de la otredad: memorias no escritas de las subalternas en la obra plástica de Víctor P. de Landaluze

La segunda mitad del siglo XIX en America Latina y el Caribe constituye una de las etapas mas complejas y definitorias para la gestacion de repertorios visuales sobre la mujer racializada, devenida arquetipo hibrido, contaminado, en muchos casos, por el lugar de enunciacion de la otredad. Las representaciones de la mujer negra y mulata, en la obra del pintor costumbrista espanol Victor Patricio de Landaluze, muestran el reforzamiento de la expansion colonial sobre la vida cotidiana o domestica de la sociedad esclavista cubana. Las figuras femeninas que configuran el repertorio visual del artista y militar espanol son sujetos racializados y sexuados, desde los cuales ambas categorias – raza y sexo – estaban fundamentadas en un orden estructuralmente naturalizado.
