Barcos de Papel é um livro de Contos e é inédito. Está recheado de belos contos. Vejamos o que nos diz a prefaciadora sobre o mesmo. Em águas paradas cada barquinho de papel pode seguir diferentes direçes. "Roubei" de certa forna essa colocaço do autor em uma das narrativas e peço desculpas, mas ela serviu perfeitamente ao modo como pensei descrever sua obra. Imagine cada conto desse livro como um barquinho. Alguns deles podero nos levar a visitar a alma humana, com seus questionamentos, sofrimentos e reflexes. Outros nos faro viajar brevemente por autores e pensadores, da psicologia, da filosofia e da religio. Alguns ainda podero nos fazer pensar em pinceladas em uma autobiografia, narrando tanto historias mais recentes, quanto fatos de um passado distante, ora mais diretamente, ora mais embutida, trazida pelas diversas personagens. Mas tem ainda aqueles com uma abordagem um tanto acida, critica e exigente em relaço a condiço humana, mas tambem no que se refere a politica; cabe aqui ressaltar o indicativo de quanto a situaço socio-economica muitas vezes interfere e ate define a vida de uma pessoa e de uma familia. E ainda ha aquele barquinho que navega num mundo fantasioso e com ares de duvida e de terror. No entanto, no se engane futuro leitor ao imaginar que cada barquinho segue somente uma direço. Em varios momentos eles se esbarram um no outro, se juntam, se misturam, seguem a mesma direço, para logo em seguida retomarem cada qual o seu rumo. Assim sendo, lhe desejo "boa viagem".

Since the end of the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions have been faced with multiple upheavals of interethnic violence, bloody secessions and ethnic cleansing. Up to the present, both regions are confronted with unresolved border, minority and security issues, matters of recognition, protracted traumata and claims for justice. After the fall of the iron curtain, simmering ethnic tensions turned into hot wars that created new states, new power-political hierarchies and a heritage of violence. Reaching back to the early 1990s, several international and national transitional justice measures have been applied to face these heritages and lay the foundations for a common future. For the former Yugoslavia, they range from broad criminal trials to a series of restorative justice mechanisms; in the North and South Caucasus they encompass numerous mediation measures and primarily restorative justice efforts.The present volume is concerned with strategies of conflict resolution and prevention subsumed under the concept of reconciliation. It aims at understanding the socio-emotional root causes of political cleavages and daily realities of (post-) conflict societies, especially regarding the impact of competing narratives and unprocessed pasts on exclusive identities and strategic political choices. Applying reconciliation theory, insights from collective memory and transitional justice to a series of selected field studies, it sheds light on the origins of interethnic violence, aims at finding explanations for the fact that many of the above-mentioned conflicts have become intractable and discusses the chances and challenges for transforming interests, emotions, perspectives, roles and identities between and within the respective societies.

Die Republikanische Partei dominierte zwischen den spaten 1960er und 80er Jahren die Prasidentschaftswahlen in den Vereinigten Staaten. Vier der letzten sechs Wahlen sind jedoch verloren gegangen. Dieses Werk sieht die Grunde hinter dieser Krise im Versuch der Partei, wahrend und nach dem Kampf der schwarzen Minderheit fur ihre Burgerrechte in den 1960er Jahren, die weien (oft evangelikalen) Wahler des Sudens auf ihre Seite zu bringen. In einem Land, in dem der weie Bevolkerungsanteil stetig sinkt und junge Wahler sakularer denn je sind, finden sich die weien Wahler des Sudens immer ofter auf der Verliererseite der in Washington, D.C. ausgetragenen politischen Schlachten - und mit ihnen auch die Republikanische Partei.

Son preguntas que nos hemos formulado a la hora de articular la presente monografia y a las que hemos querido dar respuesta el conjunto de investigadoras/es expertas/os en Traduccion, Economia, Sociologia o Analisis de la literatura y de la cultura que participamos en este ensayo.

Asia, so often seen from a Eurocentric perspective as exotic, other and different, is now manifestly an economic and political powerhouse. Shaped by the West, it is now playing its part in shaping the West.The third volume in the RIPAR series on "Societies in Transition" turns its focus on reconciliation to Asia-Pacific. Case studies are drawn from New Zealand, Australia, Korea, Japan, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and China, including comparative case studies from Central Asia, East Asia and Germany and the U.S.Contributions by Jude Lal Fernando, Leo D.

The two volumes of the central Tikal ceramic reports (Tikal Reports 25A and 25B) present the information gathered from the analysis of all ceramics recovered by the University of Pennsylvania research project at Tikal between 1956 and 1970. Tikal Report 25A (Culbert 1993) contains illustrations and brief descriptive captions for all whole vessels recovered from burials, caches, and problematical deposits. Because Tikal Report 25A illustrates the often-spectacular decorated vessels from major burials, it is of the most general interest for comparative purposes. This volume, Tikal Report 25B, presents the Tikal sequence of nine ceramic complexes (the analysis of the small sample of Postclassic Caban ceramics was not completed), describes the ceramics from each complex, presents the data for all counted lots, and illustrates the material from sherd collections. It is a specialist volume, primarily of interest to those actively involved in research with Maya ceramics. The material is complemented by data in the Tikal Reports devoted to excavations and by the analysis of nonceramic artifactual material in Tikal Reports 27A and 27B (Moholy-Nagy and Coe 2008; Moholy-Nagy 2003).

In academic as well as in public debates audiovisual media have often been accused of perpetuating gender stereotypes and of confronting viewers time and again with traditional role models and binary concepts of masculinity and femininity. In recent years, films, television series and music videos increasingly have shown women and men who transgress the traditional gender dichotomy. One of the central ideas behind this volume is the attempt to bring together explorations of gendering in different audiovisual media. The contributions seek to explore in particular shifting constructions of femininity and masculinity and aim to provide further insight into the media- and genre-specific ways of constructing, perpetuating and challenging gender concepts in audiovisual media, taking into consideration the interplay of the different levels on which gendering occurs in them. Thus, two articles in the present volume address the processes of constructing, perpetuating and challenging notions of femininity and masculinity in music videos, while other contributions are dedicated to the analysis of gendering in films and/or TV series.

Este libro aborda una temática novedosa y de gran actualidad: la vinculación de las mujeres con los discursos de paz a lo largo de la historia. Se inicia con las primeras conceptualizaciones que definen y representan la paz como mujer en la sociedad griega clasica y culmina con las aportaciones de pensadoras contemporaneas. A lo largo de los diversos capitulos se analizan los conceptos, formas y lenguajes que han vinculado la paz con las mujeres en las distintas etapas historicas, tanto en textos escritos como en manifestaciones artisticas, la apropiacion particular de esos discursos por parte de las mujeres y sus formas diferentes de pensarla y expresarla. Este libro cubre un vacio al ofrecer una reflexion de conjunto sobre el significado de los discursos que conceptualizan y representan la paz como mujer en sociedades patriarcales, las razones de su pervivencia en la cultura occidental y el giro que se produce cuando las mujeres se convierten en pensadoras de paz.

The role of religious identity in social communities has gained importance in the past few years, as many questions about individual and collective identity have been brought up in the fields of science and everyday life. Religion, despite the process of secularisation, remains an important component of human identity. Increasingly, religion is also becoming an object of political influence. This volume argues that religion actually determinates various phenomena in the political sphere today.

During the American westward expansion, Chickamaugans, originally Cherokees, prioritized resistance to the U.S. government and Euro-American invaders. They signed treaties with Great Britain and Spain. Overlooked by scholars, it was the "diplomatic savvy" of Chickamaugan women and the support of their numerous allies, British loyalists, free persons of color, former slaves, and Native Americans from other nations, that made it possible for Chickamaugan resistance to last from 1775 to 1794. Carla Toney proves that, after the collapse of their resistance, many chose migration, not as individuals, but in migration clusters. She clearly elucidates the feudal patterns brought to the United States, the cultural fluidity of Indigenous nations, and migration as a form of resistance.

Central Asia underwent an agricultural transformation in the 20th century that was neither efficient nor sustainable. There is a need for innovations that will remedy these deficits by reversing environmental degradation and ensuring poverty alleviation. This book provides science-based findings and recommendations for restructuring land and water use and agricultural value chains to enable ecologically and economically sound practices that increase resource use efficiency, rehabilitate ecosystem functions, and enhance rural incomes. Innovations were designed in concert with stakeholders. The prospective benefits are shown for the Khorezm region, part of the lower Amudarya region, Uzbekistan, but the findings can be extrapolated to regions facing similar agro-ecological challenges.

The contributions of this volume presents experiences and best-practice examples in managing religious diversity from a legal, political and local perspective. It marks an interesting point for the on-going discussion on integration and participation of Muslims in Europe and shows the need for exchanging knowledge and experience in this field especially to fulfill the challenges in a globalized world.This volume combines contributions from the Austrian-Indonesian Dialogue Symposium State, Law and Religion in Pluralistic Societies Austrian and Indonesian Perspectives, held in May 2009 in Vienna, organized by the Austrian and the Indonesian Ministry for Foreign Affairs in co-operation with the Faculty of Law. This symposium marked an important step to strengthen the dialog between the countries, both on the level of civil service, universities and religious communities.

The varying traditions in the migration research of different countries are closely connected to the respective national political landscape and the way in which the respective national state views itself affirmative and positive or perhaps more self-critical. Seen side by side, much emerges to be discussed and challenged that was previously beyond doubt. The present volume introduces the reader to the traditions of migration research in twelve different countries: the more traditional immigration countries of Canada and Australia, four European countries with decades of experience (United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Netherlands), countries newer to immigration such as Italy, Poland and Japan, and finally the postcolonial countries of India, Malaysia and Nigeria. Through this comparative approach this volume presents a new approach to understanding the different research traditions. The reader is confronted with the various ways in which emigrants are included or excluded from society, thereby gaining an understanding of the existing intellectual discourses as well as learning to qualify them in the light of other solutions and traditions. Because the approaches of the respective migration research tradition are not always the same, the volume is attractive for a number of professionals: Sociologists, political scientists, ethnologists, economists, and philosophers can join together to discuss the terms migration, integration, and their relationship to social structures. This in turn challenges premises that previously were held to be a matter of course.

Bajo el gobierno del MAS el movimiento indígena boliviano logró emanciparse políticamente, penetrando las estructuras del poder estatal, pero al mismo tiempo pasó por su crisis, desmovilizándose paulatinamente. El objetivo del libro es explorar la relacion entre la institucionalizacion del movimiento y su siguiente desmovilizacion. Aplicando el metodo "process tracing", el libro infiere primero que el impacto de la institucionalizacion en la dinamica del movimiento es condicionado por su caracter, asi el movimiento se pacifica cuando goza de la politica favorable y representacion gubernamental mas bien que parlamentaria; segundo, una vez el movimiento sea la parte de la maquinaria estatal, su disidencia potencial causa dilemas estrategicos para el gobierno que reacciona con estrategias para suprimirlo.

Después de más de cinco décadas de conflicto social y armado, el gobierno de Colombia y las FARC firmaron en noviembre del año 2016 un acuerdo para poner fin a la confrontación militar que causó casi seis millones de victimas. Este proceso de paz reune a muchas organizaciones y personas que han experimentado el conflicto de diferentes maneras y quieren contribuir a su fin. Con el multifacetico posconflicto, comienza la fase fragil de la consolidacion. Las actas del Simposio de Frankfurt presentan este proceso a nivel transnacional en dialogo germano-colombiano. Desde perspectivas interdisciplinares personajes renombrados de Colombia y Alemania, en su mayoria participantes en el proceso de paz, analizan los siguientes aspectos transversales del (pos)conflicto: las negociaciones de paz, la genealogia, los actores y las victimas; la construccion de la memoria historica y la memoria colectiva, la justicia transicional, la pobreza y la desigualdad social como causas principales de la guerra; las iniciativas de la sociedad civil, la migracion y la memoria, asi como el papel social de la literatura y el cine.
