Decolonial Aesthetics II
This book features writing by 17 authors from Germany and from African and Latin American countries on highly diverse aesthetic phenomena as seen from their own different points of view. The texts in this volume all deal with the imperative of ‘decolonization’: they try to highlight aesthetic strategies for the (re)discovery of unthematized, misappropriated, transcultural and even transcontinental histories and memories and aesthetic practices that are absent from or too little perceived within national consciousnesses. Novels, poems and musical performances from the East African region are analysed as intertwined histories of the Indian Ocean and its different languages. Artworks of the Black Atlantic and perceptions of Africa are discussed from, for example, Brazilian perspectives. Within the German context, decolonisation strategies in exhibition practices in ethnological or art museums developed by Nigerian artists are evaluated; new terms such as ‘dividuation’ are proposed to describe these contemporary composite-cultural entanglements, and so on. A stimulating, wide-ranging and heterogeneous portrait of contemporary interwoven world cultures!
The Boundaries of Freedom
This carefully curated collection of essays opens the vibrant field of Brazilian slavery and abolition studies to English-language readers.
Current Trends in Slavery Studies in Brazil
African slaves were brought into Brazil as early as 1530, with abolition in 1888. During those three centuries, Brazil received 4,000,000 Africans, over four times as many as any other American destination. Comparatively speaking, Brazil received 40% of the total number of Africans brought to the Americas, while the US received approximately 10%. Due to this huge influx of Africans, today Brazil’s African-descended population is larger than the population of most African countries. Therefore, it is no surprise that Slavery Studies are one of the most consolidated fields in Brazilian historiography. In the last decades, a number of discussions have flourished on issues such as slave agency,...
Many Rivers to Cross: Black Migrations in Brazil and the Caribbean
Since the first contact with Europeans, the Americas have been a continent of immigrants as much as a continent of continuous migrations. Black migrations represent more than the transit of people between countries and regions and from rural areas to urban centers. It contributed to constructing networks that made survival possible, creating neighborhoods and cultural expression, impacting dietary habits, exchanging crops and agricultural techniques, and uplifting families from slavery and misery to ownership, education, and political representation. The most dangerous elements that moved from place to place with blacks were the ideas of freedom and citizenship. This book brings together art...
Remapping Brazilian Film Culture in the Twenty-First Century
Remapping Brazilian Film Culture makes a significant contribution not only to debates about Brazilian national cinema, but more generally about the development of world cinema in the twenty-first century. This book charts the key features of Brazilian film culture of the first two decades of the twenty-first century, including: the latest cultural debates within Brazil on film funding and distribution practices; the impact of diversity politics on the Brazilian film industry; the reception and circulation of Brazilian films on the international film festival circuit; and the impact on cultural production of the sharp change in political direction at national level experienced post-2016. The ...
Becoming Brazilians
This book traces the rise and decline of Gilberto Freyre's vision of racial and cultural mixture (mestiçagem - or race mixing) as the defining feature of Brazilian culture in the twentieth century. Eakin traces how mestiçagem moved from a conversation among a small group of intellectuals to become the dominant feature of Brazilian national identity, demonstrating how diverse Brazilians embraced mestiçagem, via popular music, film and television, literature, soccer, and protest movements. The Freyrean vision of the unity of Brazilians built on mestiçagem begins a gradual decline in the 1980s with the emergence of an identity politics stressing racial differences and multiculturalism. The book combines intellectual history, sociological and anthropological field work, political science, and cultural studies for a wide-ranging analysis of how Brazilians - across social classes - became Brazilians.
Políticas de Promoção da Igualdade Racial No Brasil (1986-2010)
Este livro surge de uma reflexão teórica política acerca da realidade brasileira a partir do reconhecimento, por parte do Estado, da existência do racismo e das perspectivas para sua superação. O reconhecimento do racismo foi impulsionado pela atuação do Movimento Negro e da organização das mulheres negras perante a sociedade e o Estado, por meio do encadeamento de lutas e negociações das políticas públicas de igualdade racial. O período escolhido (1986-2010) demarca importantes momentos da realidade social e política brasileira, do processo Pré-Constituinte ao final da segunda gestão do presidente Lula. A autora, Matilde Ribeiro, é cientista social, militante histórica do Movimento Negro e ex-ministra da Igualdade Racial.

Práticas Pedagógicas na luta contra LGBTQIA+FOBIA
A escola como corpo político e social, muitas vezes, reflete as relações hegemônicas da própria sociedade como um todo e, especificamente, de seu contexto de inserção geográfica. Sendo assim, a violência e os modos de se relacionar no espaço macro (sociedade) impactam decisivamente o espaço micro (escola). É necessário desconstruir práticas sociais não democráticas e minimizar seu alcance no ambiente escolar. Uma forma de dar voz e autonomia aos educandos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem é criar estratégias que promovam a democracia e a equidade. Porém, o que fazer quando esse apontamento para uma possível escola viva, que considera a diversidade inerente à humanidade, se depara com os discursos e as práticas excludentes do patriarcado, do sexismo, da branquitude e de todas as outras formas de injustiça social? Este livro traz narrativas do chão da escola, de uma perspectiva do real possível. Uma polifonia sobre a resistência de quem luta por uma educação pública mais inclusiva e de qualidade, no combate à LGBTQIA+FOBIA.
Brasilien
Unser Wissen über Brasilien beschränkt sich oft auf festgetretene Klischees: Strand, Samba, Fußball und leider auch Abholzung des Regenwalds, Gewalt, Korruption und Rassismus. Dabei hat das "Land der Zukunft" (Stefan Zweig) viel mehr zu bieten. Seit Jahren nehmen die Wirtschaftskraft und das politische Gewicht Brasiliens beständig zu. Andreas Nöthen schreibt über die politische Polarisierung, Bevölkerungsgruppen und Religionsgemeinschaften, über Wirtschaft und Kultur, über das Amazonasgebiet, über Korruptionsbekämpfung, über Milizen und Kriminalität, und über die geschichtlichen Wurzeln der Konflikte. In vierzehn Kapiteln zeichnet er ein gleichermaßen faszinierendes wie fundie...
