Precarious Spaces

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Unknown

Using an arts-based inquiry, "Precarious spaces" addresses current concerns around the instrumentality and agency of art in the context of the precarity of daily life. The book offers a survey of socially and community-engaged art practices in South America, focusing in particular on Brazil s informal situation, and contributes much to the ongoing debate of the possibility for change through social, environmental, and ecological solutions. The individual chapters, compiled by Katarzyna Kosmala and Miguel Imas, present a wide spectrum of contemporary social agency models with a particular emphasis on detailed case studies and local histories. Featuring critical reflections on the spaces of urban voids, derelict buildings, self-built communities such as "favela," and roadside occupations, "Precarious spaces" will make readers question their assumptions about precarity, and life in precarious realms.

SEMIÁRIDO BAIANO - A DINÂMICA CONTRADITÓRIA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO

A obra se inicia com a discussão sobre o processo de desenvolvimento do semiárido baiano a partir da seca que, historicamente, se constituiu em importante instrumento de exploração econômica e de dominação política, servindo de justificativas para transformar os benefícios públicos em favores políticos e para a transferência de recursos públicos para a iniciativa privada. Discute a região semiárida numa perspectiva sociológica, focalizando as formas como os sertanejos se relacionam entre si e com a natureza e sua visão peculiar de mundo e de economia, demonstrando que o modelo de desenvolvimento empreendido serviu principalmente para alimentar o processo de acumulação de capital.

The Invention of the Brazilian Northeast

The Invention of the Brazilian Northeast

Brazil's Northeast has traditionally been considered one of the country's poorest and most underdeveloped areas. In this impassioned work, the Brazilian historian Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Jr. investigates why Northeasterners are marginalized and stereotyped not only by inhabitants of other parts of Brazil but also by nordestinos themselves. His broader question though, is how "the Northeast" came into existence. Tracing the history of its invention, he finds that the idea of the Northeast was formed in the early twentieth century, when elites around Brazil became preoccupied with building a nation. Diverse phenomena—from drought policies to messianic movements, banditry to new regional political blocs—helped to consolidate this novel concept, the Northeast. Politicians, intellectuals, writers, and artists, often nordestinos, played key roles in making the region cohere as a space of common references and concerns. Ultimately, Albuqerque urges historians to question received concepts, such as regions and regionalism, to reveal their artifice and abandon static categories in favor of new, more granular understandings.
