COLETåNEA GEPOS
A existência da mulher indígena na mitologia é um caso labirintado que nem sempre nos deixa tirar conclusão lógica. Esta peremptória afirmativa nos permite inferir que, em se tratando da mulher sateré-mawé, só é possível conhecermos o seu valor dentro da etnia se localizarmos a inscrita capaz de nos levar até o rastro onde se firma o ethos feminino. Tecer fina tessitura sobre o ethos da mulher sateré-mawé supõe recompor o conjunto de valores arquetípicos que vicejam no dorso do contemporâneo e que pulsam nas veias da tradição, como um escuro potencialmente capaz de ver a luz.

Welfare for Autocrats
What are the costs of the Chinese regime's fixation on quelling dissent in the name of political order, or "stability?" In Welfare for Autocrats, Jennifer Pan shows that China has reshaped its major social assistance program, Dibao, around this preoccupation, turning an effort to alleviate poverty into a tool of surveillance and repression. This distortion of Dibao damages perceptions of government competence and legitimacy and can trigger unrest among those denied benefits. Pan traces how China's approach to enforcing order transformed at the turn of the 21st century and identifies a phenomenon she calls seepage whereby one policy--in this case, quelling dissent--alters the allocation of resources and goals of unrelated areas of government. Using novel datasets and a variety of methodologies, Welfare for Autocrats challenges the view that concessions and repression are distinct strategies and departs from the assumption that all tools of repression were originally designed as such. Pan reaches the startling conclusion that China's preoccupation with order not only comes at great human cost but in the case of Dibao may well backfire.
