Garau, Pietro. "Measuring the Magic of Public Space. Le Piazze di Roma." Journal of Public Space 1, no. 1 (October 18, 2016): 17. http://dx.doi.org/10.5204/jps.v1i1.6.
Full textAbstract:
<p>The concept of public space, and particularly of civic public space, is certainly a constitutive element of Italy’s urban culture. The design and spatial configuration of public spaces have always been a synthesis between deeply rooted models and political functions (the <em>piazza, </em>the <em>palazzo, </em>the church, the civic buildings), and of local circumstances and design inspiration. Hence the fascination of the <em>piazza: </em>while all <em>piazze </em>perform similar functions, they take very different spatial and architectural characteristics, thus adding to the variety and the “magic”, as it were, of public space experience.<br />The main purpose of this article is to celebrate the piazza as the core symbol of public space magic. In doing so, I set a modest linguistic goal: to discourage non-Italian speaking piazza fans from using the plural “piazzas” and to impose the Italian “piazze”. As to the success of this endeavour, only future will tell.</p>

Abstract The essay aims to reexamine the underlying contexts and the nature of site-specific projection in Light Conical Intersect by Pierre Huyghe by addressing the critical intervention of Gordon Matta-Clark in public space. The essay offers a broad overview of the contexts and the nature of light metaphors. The aim of this research is to delve into how these sorts of light interventions stimulate the debate concerning the public sphere via live events. The essay moves from the approach of using a cone light across the gallery space to one that reflects the cone whole cut in a construction building. It finally illustrates a site-specific projection of the documentary footage from the intervention 20 years later. The crucial point is that layered superposition in projection is a special attribute of the interventions in the nineties of the twentieth century. The essay concludes that the theoretical framework of “plural/singular” arts articulated by Jean-Luc Nancy enables us to retrace the artistic contexts of cone-shaped installations that operate with a circumscribed reservoir of iconographic and thematic components.

In plural and secular societies today, religious communities understand access to public space as a right to the city. Thisright legitimises their status as social actors and, through various notions linked to modernity and transparency, entitlesthem to have a public life and be recognised by others. By examining the case of Bangladeshi Muslims in Lavapiés, oneof Madrid’s multicultural district undergoing intense gentrification and touristification processes, this article analyses theconditions through which this community accesses public space and achieves legitimisation and recognition through different practices and discourses displayed in a variety of events and festivities.

When I presented The Journal of Public Space at Habitat III, the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, in Quito (2016), during an event at the Urban Library, I made it very clear that the partnership that City Space Architecture had established with UN-Habitat inspired our mission to give voice to unheard countries in order to include them in the discourse on public space. At the beginning of 2022 The Journal of Public Space launched a call for papers inviting scholars, designers, planners, city practitioners, historians and writers to offer critical and innovative contributions to understanding meanings and practices in plural and diverse African spaces, contexts, climates, regional and local scales, and histories. The issue was intended to contribute to the establishment of the Centre on African Public Spaces (CAPS), a project initiated by the City of Johannesburg (South Africa) in collaboration with other African cities, universities and community advocacy groups. As a Pan-African urban lab for public space, CAPS was designed to be a home and resource to a community of urban practitioners and thinkers, students, scholars and civil society activists dedicated to connect, exchange experiences, advance knowledge, share resources, grow expertise and mobilize on a wide range of relevant local, regional and global issues. In response to the call for papers we received 70 submissions. We shortlisted 27 papers for this issue and we invited African scholars to serve as peer reviewers and to support the production of quality contents. The peer review process involved more than 60 African scholars and two African guest editors, for more than one year.

Beside having significant values that would enrich the Indonesian nation, tribal, cultural, and religious diversity brought seeds of conflicts that could potentially disrupt social order and threaten national unity. The conflicts that occurred in Ambon from 1999 to 2004 were conflict examples that were caused by religious plurality that had appeared many societal problems that could not be fully resolved until today. The trust among Ambon's plural communities had not returned well and it was even worsened by settlement segregation separating Muslim and Christian communities that factually brought potential for further conflicts. In the present life of Ambon’s segregated societ today public spaces inspired by brotherhood and “unity in diversity” spirits thatt could be meeting and socializing means of the communities and to reduce the social polarization were to be absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, the existing public spaces in Ambon for the time being served only as stages of activities and they did not connect with the communities’ social spectrums so that the public spaces remained meaningless. A public space here served just as a witness, not as a means of socializing in accordance with the communities’ cultures and characters. This paper would discuss how to integrate the communities’ cultures and characters into a public space design that had significant meaning in overcoming the polarization of Ambon’s segregated communities. The public space would be designed by taking into account a location choice where two segregated communities could easily meet. In the public space a macro space concept where the sea as the front page of Ambon communities should be applied and even forwarded since such a concept tended to be forgotten. Beside the spatial format, the public space should also be designed by facilitating various cultural-based activities so that the communities’ characteristics that were integrated in the urban culture and daily activities would appear in the public spaces.

However in fact, along the beach Losari in Makassar City have inaccessible public space. Ideally, the various people who use and do interaction in the public space should be accommodated in the space. The Potential for conflict exist whenever and wherever people contact. Conflict is natural, normal and inevitable whenever people interact together. The disagreement and the difference on values conflict can be indicated by the unavoidable situation in human relationship. Therefore, defining the difference and strategy to manage the conflict in public space will be the focus of the paper. A Synergy, compromise, accommodative action and using a power are among others of the strategy to manage conflict to create a built environment towards an open and accessible public place. A Public space is the common ground where people carry out the functional and ritual activities that bind a community, whether in the normal routines of daily life or in periodic festivities [3] Urban Corridors that deals with mostly public space should serve the public at large, the plural society and the variety of human behavior.Keywords : Public Space; Conflict in Public Place; Urban Corridor.

Full textAbstract:
Reinterpretation of the integration between faith and its practice, as mentioned in Qur’an and hadis, is very significant to apply in plural society differentiated in many identities and various primordial affiliations. Its significance lies not only on reformulating teoritically the concept of integrative Islam, but also in practical how it is realized in context of plural society. The fact that the texts of al-Qur’an and hadis always put together faith and good deed in one semantic area, shows a strong connection between faith and good deed that each concept serves as a means of definition of others. This means that the integration between faith and social practice is a must both in theological and sociological perspectives. In addition, plural ethics can serve as ethical basis in perceiving plural social reality and actively, well, and wisely participating in public sphere. Meanwhile, in respect with the mechanism in public sphere, Kuntowijoyo’s concept of objectivity of religion and that of Jurgen Habermas’s public deliberation can be taken as theoretical frame in reinterpreting religious values and teachings as well as their realization in public sphere. Through these two concepts, religious values and teachings can be implemented in public space and partake an active participation in constructing nation identity without causing social disintegration resulted from domination and subordination of certain religious symbols or values. Since social consensus resulted from deliberation is a communal ratio, it is no longer an individual or personal one, but it is a collective ratio that represents collective interest. By this mechanism, religious values and teachings can be performed in contestation of public discoursewithout being trapped in exclusivism policy and domination-subordination logics. Reinterpretasi integrasi antara iman dan praksis sebagaimana terdapat dalam al-Qur’an dan hadis, sangat signifikan dilakukan dalam konteks pluralitas masyarakat yang terdiferensiasi dalam berbagai identitas dan beragam afiliasi primordial. Signifikansi ini tidak hanya terletak pada perlunya reformulasi konsepsi Islam integratif saja, tapi juga bagaimana integrasi tersebut direalisasikan dalam konteks masyarakat yang plural. Merujuk pada teks al-Qur’an dan hadis yang selalu menempatkan iman dan amal salih dalam satu medan semantik, ini menunjukkan bahwa relasi antara iman dan amal salih sangat kuat, sehingga masing-masing konsep menjadi alat definisi bagi eksistensi konsep lainnya. Hal ini bermakna bahwa integrasi iman dan praksis sosial merupakan sebuah keniscayaan tidak hanya secara teologis tapi juga secara sosiologis. Selain itu, afirmasi Islam terhadap pluralitas etik dapat menjadi landasan etis dalam memandang realitas sosial yang plural dan berpartisipasi aktif di ruang publik secara baik dan bijak. Sementara terkait dengan mekanisme partisipasi di ruang publik, konsep objektifikasi agama-nya Kuntowijoyo dan deliberasi publik-nya Jurgen Habermas dapat dijadikan sebagaikerangka teoritis dalam melakukan reinterpretasi nilai dan ajaran agama dan realisasinya di ruang publik. Dengan model objektifikasi deliberatif ini, nilai-nilai dan ajaran agama dapat diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan publik dan berperan aktif dalam konstruksi identitas bangsa, tanpa harus menciptakan disintegrasi sosial karena adanya dominasi atau subordinasi simbol atau nilai agama tententu. Oleh karena konsensus sosial yang dihasilkan dalam deliberasi tersebut bersifat rasio bersama, maka ia tidak lagi menjadi rasio individual personal tapi rasio kolektif yang sekaligus mewakili dan menjadi kepentingan bersama. Dengan mekanisme ini, nilai dan ajaran Islam (agama) dapat dipentaskan dalam kontestasi diskursus publik secara ramah, tanpa harus terjebak dalam politik ekslusivisme dan logika dominasi-subordinasi.

Abstract: This article aims to analyse the rise of bay‘a. It is often perceived ofthe seed of early civilised society after passing through a series of negotiationinvolving primordial and territorial interests. Theoretically, ba‘ya is a form ofrelationship between religion and the state that integrate citizens regardlesstheir race, ethnicity and colour in a public space. This article argues that Islamappears to be the pioneer of the concept of unity in public space, which wasalways in a state of competition leading to tensions and conflicts on the groundof primordial identities. The bay‘a was exactly a response to such tensionon public space. It promotes “awareness of plurality” to combat horizontalconflict between race and ethics. In the global context, this awareness is partof the argument of legal pluralism to analyse several primordial interests,and also to prevent social conflict. So, plural identities can be unified by Islamthrough bay‘a as a concept whose realization is able to unify plural society inpublic domains. Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis munculnya konsep bay‘ahsebagai cikal bakal terbentuknya masyarakat berperadaban setelah melaluiproses negosiasi yang sarat dengan berbagai kepentingan primordial danteritorial.Secara empiris, bay‘ah adalah bentuk lain dari hubungan agamadan pemerintahan-untuk tidak menyamakan- dengan istilah negara modernmemberi insiprasi untuk menangkap sekat-sekat yang terpisah oleh hubunganemosional didasarkan oleh ras, suku maupun warna kulit. Tulisan iniberpendapat bahwa Islam tampil sebagai pencetus konsep pemersatu di ruangpublik khususnya kepada masyarakat yang senantiasa mengusung identitassektoral dan primordial. Konsep bay‘ah tidak terlepas dari adanya ”kesadaranterhadap keberagaman” dalam mengakhiri konflik horizontal antar sesama suku dan etnis. Dalam konteks global ”kesadaran keberagaman” adalah bagiandari argumen pluralisme hukum dalam menganalisis berbagai kepentinganprimordial untuk menghindari terjadinya konflik sosial, sehingga keragamanidentitas berhasil disatukan oleh Islam dalam satu ideologi pemersatumasyarakat di ruang publik yang diterima semua komunitas.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary liberal democratic societies are marked by complexity and the fact of pluralism and diverse visions of goods. How to articulate them, and how to provide solutions to conflicts? The current predominant perspective of liberal theory does so through the proposal of consensual possibilities; but from this perspective a problem arises: can there be consensus without prejudice to democratic practices and political action, which is an essential mark of a plural society, and which presupposes the non-exclusion of the other and equality as a constitutional foundation? Faced with this issue, there is a need to (re)think practices of expression of the plural, not excluding conflict, articulatory aspects and recognition of the different, as it marks a plural society, and its reflexes in the construction of a public space as a space for the expression of diversity and conflict, and, therefore, of the democratic. The hypothesis is that the conflictive condition can and should be understood as productive for the recognition of plural expressions both in politics and in law, both in democracy and constitutionalism, and from them not being extirpated, but transformed into agonism, acceptance and plural expression. The main objective is to analyze how the conception of agonism, conceived by Chantal Mouffe, can contribute to the understanding of necessary articulations and implications between law and politics, constitutionalism and democracy in order to build meaningful and productive perspectives. Thus, for the development of the research, contributions were sought in political theory and constitutional theory, whose foundation was given, especially, from Chantal Mouffe, Post and Siegel, and Vera Karam de Chueiri. The method used was deductive, testing assumptions to verify possible conclusions; the research technique was bibliographic, developed from research in works and articles. At the end of the research, the hypothesis was confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper contributes to the growing body of literature that engages with ontological scholarship on fisheries management and governance, and more generally, to debates on environmental governance. It argues that fisheries governance is an ontological challenge that raises questions of culture, equity, legitimacy and inclusion/exclusion, requiring more context-sensitive and politically aware fisheries governance approaches. By engaging with the concept of political ontology, and drawing from empirical research carried out in Ireland’s offshore islands, five ontological assumptions are identified that underpin Irish fisheries governance and management policies and practices and categorised as social-historical, ecological, geographical, technocratic and markets-driven. Articulating and examining these assumptions provide insights into why policy objectives aimed at supporting small-scale fisheries and their communities may, in practice, not be effective when they are operationalised within a governance paradigm designed around the realities of large-scale, full-time, highly mobile and more economically productive operators. Despite the efforts of ontologically disobedient islanders, the enactment of these ontological assumptions into the dominant world of fisheries governance inhibits the emergence of possible worlds that would enact Irish island inshore fisheries through island logics. The paper concludes that the squeeze on Ireland’s island inshore fishers is not simply spatial, it is ontological. A dominant fisheries ontology has been created by the interplay of ontological assumptions. This dominant ontology undermines the State’s critical policy to maintain and manage Irish fisheries as a public resource in order to avoid the concentration of fishing opportunities into the hands of large and powerful fishing interests.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, I rely on a number of theoretical approaches to reflect on the possibility of the transformation of universities, in particular the University of the Free State (UFS). A starting point is the role of public space in a transforming society with emphasis on universities as public spaces. A ‘site of conscience’ approach, namely an approach to public space that endorses a critical and active engagement with the past to reflect on enduring injustice, is followed to reflect on the Red Square (the nickname derived from the red brick with which the ‘President’s Square’ was built), a prominent space on the campus of the UFS. Suggestions on how the space can be re-interpreted are considered. “Reconciliation” as featured in the work of Hannah Arendt and “Reflective nostalgia” (Boym) are relied on to contemplate the potential of the Red Square as a space of transformation and as a space of conscience. The potential of reconciliation to create a shared world that makes a plural cohabitance possible is considered. I am not arguing that reconciliation could or should take place but that conversations on what reconciliation may entail could be of value. Reflective nostalgia embraces the ambivalence of belonging and provides for multiple homes. I suggest the idea of reflective nostalgia as a possible way by which the past and figures from the past can be remembered in a critical way as it discloses multiple narratives and embraces conflicting perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Under the impact of economic globalization, today cities put a high priority to improve their attractiveness and become ideal destinations for global capital and elites (William S.W. Lim, 2014). Results of these “improvements” are often severe gentrification and spectacularisation processes that compromise resilience of local communities. These have an important impact on the materiality of tradition that constitutes complex of historical, social and cultural linkages is being gradually decontextualized and commodified, severely damaging local identity, community and knowledge (William S. W. Lim, 2013). Epitomes of these disruptions of complex rooted linkages are the “creative,” post-consumerist landscapes of consumption, ubiquitously emerging in public spaces of ancient central city streets.Contrasting such tendency of producing deterritorialised places of consumption, trapping people for hours at a time in hyper-real spaces, relevant socio-spatial instances of resistance are found. This paper explores the complex spatialities of conceptions, everyday practices and actions of one of these places that preserves genuine rhythms of daily lives. The historical central district of Hanoi is chosen as case study, where local inhabitants develop idiosyncratic tactics to engage with public space, encroaching sidewalks with complex set of practices. These are places where local inhabitants everyday actualise complex sets of conceptions, practices and actions that notably exemplifies those that produce differential spaces - using the notion proposed by Henri Lefebvre. Disassociating from regulated, limited, planned and homogenized environments as occurring in present shopping malls and theme parks, the central district of Hanoi sidewalks offer chances for accidental encounters, unexpected events and support a very diverse range of local inhabitants in an extremely active and dynamic play. The sidewalks appear as a loosen space (Franck & Stevens, 2007), where unpredictable uses, intermingled spatial interconnections and complex social interrelations generate.This paper discusses the findings of a research aimed to explore (how – what – why) the interaction between the multifarious spatial activities of residents and transients, and describe the patterns of such inclusionary relations. Particularly, the study intends to demonstrate how there is a (ambivalent condition in witch) complex networks of social activities produce and are produced by a distinct set of spatialities that involve inclusive networks of local agencies. So as to achieve the target, the theoretical lenses of Lefebvre’s spatialities and Kim’s spatial ethnography are useful, on the one hand to comprehensively decode and interpret “social space” and on the other hand to clearly describe such space.

Full textAbstract:
A Catholic pope and a Rawlsian statesman respectively represent religious and political leaders who confront the reality of war and face the challenge of responding to it. A political decision during conflict based exclusively on religious or secular justifications will be unconvincing in a contemporary plural public space. John Rawls’s solution to this dilemma was to offer justifications based on public reason grounded on political values and not on religious or secular values that support non-public reason. However, restraining religious arguments can ignite passionate religious objections when the decisions of government contradict the demands of their religious values. Hence, this paper argues against an exclusive position and highlights the importance of a nuanced approach that engages religious and political perspectives. The arguments are presented by engaging both Catholic and Rawlsian responses to war by focusing on just war theory and the role of a statesman.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the politics of urban space through a consideration of three ways Italians in Toronto, Canada, create, make claims to and express their belonging in particular neighbourhoods in the city. The article considers forms of claiming and colonizing space that are not overtly violent or confrontational with respect to other groups living within the plural city but, in effect, are assertions of power over particular places with which others must contend. The three forms encompass a range of scales, temporal duration and purposeful collective expression by Italians in Toronto, and they include the quotidian shaping of neighbourhoods, the calendrical colonizing of public spaces during religious and secular celebrations and the monument building that attests to the permanence of Italians in the city. Ultimately, these forms of place-making must contend with the larger forces of commodification and popular imagery that influence the spatial representations of Italians in Toronto.

Full textAbstract:
The right to religious freedom is one of the foundations of a free, plural, tolerant and generous democratic society. However, this right is not absolute, as it must be protected in relation to other values. The European Court of Human Rights protects the freedom to exercise religion based on the values of pluralism, tolerance, state neutrality and respect for the urgent social needs of European society in all cases. Individuals have a key responsibility in creating a tolerant, free-thinking, and plural practice of religion in public space in any European society. Freedom of religion is once again the focus of European societies. The importance of religion in public space is one of the most pressing topics in modern European societies, because it is directly related to the protection of human dignity in both private and public life. It is part of the spiritual integrity, which together with the physical forms the notion of human dignity. Religious freedom is first and foremost a defensive right. The term freedom emphasizes the admissibility of certain conduct. The duty to act is emphasized in the case of the use of the term right. Freedom means above all the possibility of demanding the non-interference of another. The right goes further and represents an opportunity to demand a certain action of another in favour of the right holder. This means that the state, local communities, and other holders of public authority must not inadmissibly interfere with freedom of religion. The state may not decide on matters concerning the doctrine of religion or the internal autonomy of churches or other religious communities; require commitments to religious issues; reward or punish acts that constitute a profession of religion; discriminate against human rights and fundamental freedoms; and unjustifiably differentiate (privilege or neglect) individuals because of their religion.

The Elephant Square project was carried out in the context of the 2019 University of Buckingham Summer School, chaired by dean John Simpson and director Clive Aslet. The design brief for the project was created by Stephanie Jazmines and Lucien Steil, both tutors at the 2019 University of Buckingham Summer School. Rather than following up on the endless series of post-Covid-19 urban, or “return to nature”, or “health technology” utopias, the Elephant Square project in London simply offers to re-establish the primacy of public space and public life as a main condition to reassess the city of the future. This project supports a vision of the city as a plural and common world, the purpose of which is to enhance public life in its most sophisticated forms.

Abstract:This study focuses on the hegemonic struggles between two ethnic communities, the Mbo and the Bamiléké, in Santchou, West Cameroon. At issue is the sharing of political roles in this locality, which point to issues of political representation. In this district, these roles (mayor, representative, etc.) were under the single party rule of the ethnic minority Mbo, who are a majority in this area but a minority in the rest of the district, where the Bamileke are the majority. In this monolithic context, where all protests were banned, the Bamileke had given up and accepted this arrangement. With the advent of the multiparty system and democracy, in which mayors are now elected and no longer simply nominated, uncertainty has been hovering over this political stronghold of the Mbo. Nevertheless, the Mbo have been able to hold onto the post of mayor and acquire other political posts as well. However, unlike during the single party era, the situation created by the political liberalization has offered to the Bamileke a public space where they can discuss the allocation of local political positions, and manifest their disagreement with the hegemonic trend. In the footsteps of Habermas and many other authors such as Cottereau, this study underlines the need to talk about public spaces in a plural form, instead of a single public space, in order to put in context the internal dynamics of popular cultures engendering subcultural public spheres or places of emerging democracy.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates a recent period in which dissenting activism has been shifted in Istanbul under the state of emergency (2016-2018). Based on an ethnography conducted with activists in feminist and LGBTQI+ demonstrations, anti-emergency decree vigils, and the Presidential Referendum protests, the study discusses how activists resist and undermine mobilization of violence through using the hegemonic tools of repression tactically, and choreographically. By employing Hannah Arendt’s concepts of “politics” and “isolation,” I examine that state agencies like the police forcefully disperse protesters and display authority, oppression, and occupation of public spaces by constantly creating an atmosphere of fear and insecurity. In opposition, dissenters practice and rehearse dispersal as a resilient choreography to once again relate each other against the forces of isolation. I suggest the term “tactics of dispersal” to define and analyze how activists depart from the central assembly of the social movement to create smaller, mobile, and ephemeral assemblies. In the city-scale, by scattering themselves in the city of Istanbul and mobilizing peripheries of the urban space, dissenters re-choreograph and subvert a thanatopolitical strategy of dispersal in favor of pluralism under political hardship. In the bodily-scale, activists claim the public sphere through the transience of folk dance. Whenever protesters depart from folk dance collectives to create new ones, they perpetually re-configure the area and initiate novel actions contingent upon their temporal and positional assessments during the dance. Such tactical applications of dispersal characterized by the smaller scale and transitory gatherings with ever-changing combinations of bodies at the peripheral space of urban activism manifest its great potential for collective agency and plural politics.

AbstractThe Christianity of the future in Latin America will remain dominant but now plural and competitive. The decline of Catholic monopoly and the surge of Protestant and Pentecostal churches, visible since the 1980s but with deeper roots, are explained in the context of social, cultural and political changes that have drawn churches into public space in new ways. The impact of democracy, violence, and a newly open civil society on churches and religious life is visible in new ideas about rights and associational life and in the withdrawal of the institutional churches from political confrontation, diversification of political positions and multiplication of voices in all churches.

Este derecho legitima su condición de actores sociales, que traducen como visibilización en el espacio público y participación en la vida política del municipio, a través de diversas nociones vinculadas a la modernidad y la transparencia. Para explorar esta hipótesis, este artículo examina el caso de los musulmanes bangladeshíes del multicultural barrio madrileño de Lavapiés, el cual presenta semejanzas con otros barrios multiculturales de ciudades del sur de Europa como Lisboa o Roma: un barrio afectado por un acelerado proceso de gentrificación y turistificación. Se analizan las circunstancias en las que esta comunidad intenta acceder al espacio público, con el fin de lograr una mayor legitimación y reconocimiento, teniendo en cuenta las diferentes prácticas y discursos que se despliegan en determinados eventos y festividades.Abstract: In current nondenominational plural societies, religious groups understand access to public space as a right to the city.

There is a tautological tendency in the widespread claims that urban space is ’mediated’. Never before has the citizen, it is argued, been confronted with such an unprecedented array of signage. I depart from the rhetoric of ’biggest-ever-saturation’ as not necessarily untrue, but as insufficient in exploring the diverse spatial operations of urban screens. I examine some contemporary cases of animated architectural surfaces, informational panels, and advertising billboards, with reference to much longer standing cultural practices of spatial management in modern cities, such as illumination, to suggest that the contemporary display media do not mediate the city anew but re-invent urban space as a field of ubiquitous mediation. From that standpoint I suggest exploring urban screens as a) both singular visual agents and indivisible items in plural structural assemblages, b) complementary forces of public illumination, and c) complex perceptual platforms in visual play of scale and distance.

Full textAbstract:
Scholars of media and politics mostly recognise that audiences and publics are constructed, but fall short of explaining precisely how their indeterminate and imagined nature can be the basis of their political significance. Interactive broadcast media provides a valuable empirical lens for inquiring into why this may be case. The convergence of newer digital communication technologies with more established radio and television broadcasts is shifting opportunities for news media to affect citizen-state relations. These possibilities are pronounced on the African continent, where mobile telephony and increasingly plural media landscapes have given rise to popular and widespread interactive talk shows. The involvement of audience voices alters the nature of the media space where political communication happens. Through a comparative study of interactive shows in Zambia and Kenya, this article interrogates what audience participation means for the political nature and possibilities of the interactive radio and TV broadcast. Ict shows how the indeterminate audience is the basis for competing ideas about power, authority, and citizenship among the different participants in the show, including politicians, media professionals, and audience members. The power of the “audience-public,” brought into being through the interactive broadcast, it is argued, arises from in-between these participants in public discussion, who each invest in multiple and competing imaginaries of the elusive audience in pursuit of diverse ends.

The present article has the general objective of conducting a comparative study between two Portuguese language textbooks for the 8th year of Elementary School – Final Years: “Singular e Plural: leitura, produção e estudos de linguagem”, by Balthasar and Goulart (2015) and “Tecendo Linguagens: Língua Portuguesa”, by Oliveira and Araújo (2018), used in municipal public schools in the city of Carpina-PE. Based on the assumptions of Literary Literacy developed by Cosson (2014), Marinho and Pinheiro (2012), the guidelines for the teaching of Portuguese language present in the PCN (BRASIL, 1997; 1998), the BNCC (BRASIL, 2018) and the Curriculum of Pernambuco (PERNAMBUCO, 2019), we analyze the data collected in order to reflect on the space of cordel in the textbook and its performance in the classroom. The methodology applied in this article is of qualitative approach with basic nature, explanatory objectives and bibliographic procedure. The results obtained demonstrate that cordel, even being present in the two selected textbooks, is not placed in a way that promotes literary literacy, being crucial the critical look of the teacher before the treatment given to cordel in the textbooks and its value for the formation of the student.

TheHistoire du Marocedited by Mohamed Kably is a monumental collaborative work involving more than fifty authors, all, with only one exception, Moroccan. It is thus a de facto “Moroccanized” history (though not excessively so) and the synthesis that it presents marks an important milestone. This article will nevertheless suggest some alternative thematic or transversal structures while also highlighting some of the volume's guiding threads: the initial geographical tableau, the periodization, its vision of historical origins and antiquity, the “plural” nature of Morocco and its relationship with the exterior world. In terms of the overall tone of the volume, it is necessary to evaluate its place in the broader historiographical context today. Other recent studies have revealed an oscillation between two scales, the one tending toward oversimplified generalities (the Middle Ages, the modern period), the other toward what has sometimes seemed an excessive focus on the specific and the exceptional. TheHistoire du Marochandles these debates with cautious discretion as they run through its chapters in a light filigree; it is a useful tool, pedagogic and accessible to a large and diverse public because it is neither intransigent nor polemical. Hard to reduce to particular historical currents, it is a scholarly work, an example of reasoned academic study. It is based on actual knowledge, without preconceived boundaries, and will remain a reference, scholarly, experimental, and pragmatic. It seems most unlikely, after the publication of this volume, that the history of Morocco will need to be rewritten over again.

The rise of the internet and social networks enabled the formation of a new public space, conducive to the broad exchange of ideas and the consolidation of a plural and democratic society. On the other hand, there is a growing concern about the dissemination of illegal or morally undesirable content, mainly due to the high speed and wide range in which the flow of information operates on networks. This article aims to study the current civil liability system of internet providers for illicit content created and disseminated by third parties through their platforms. The methodology adopted consists of a critical examination of doctrine, legislation and jurisprudence related to the matter. The advent of the Marco Civil da Internet presents flaws and advances in the regulation of the matter, reflecting the challenges in reconciling freedom of expression with an effective regime of protection and reparation to victims.

Full textAbstract:
Through a decolonial feminist lens this paper unpacks the artistic project Sangre de mi sangre (“blood of my blood”). understood as an art protest by the feminist Mexican art collective Colectiva Hilos (“threads collective”). This work situates Sangre de mi sangre in the history of feminist textile artistic interventions, and specifically within those interventions that aim to take the public space in the context of gender violence. The work of Colectiva Hilos is also socio-politically situated in the history of Latin American political artistic interventions in the context of extreme forms of violence such as feminicide (killing of women because of their gender) and forced disappearance, and forms part of a plural and vibrant feminist movement present across the region. The members of the collective seek to repair the social fabric through collective weaving while using this long red textile to make visible the absences of those who have been victims of disappearance and feminicide in Mexico. Violence is an experience that has meant a fracture of our relations. This is also a painful experience. Where there is pain, there is loss and the need for grieving. This work considers decolonial thinker Rolando Vázquez’s (2018) ideas on healing and grieving to unpack the power of repair in the work of Colectiva Hilos.

Full textAbstract:
The 2014 general elections in India marked a new media beginning. It catapulted Narendra Modi onto the national political scene through his clever use of digital media space as a form of public relations. This article uses rhetorical analysis to analyze 1,230 of Modi’s tweets between April 15 and August 15, 2017. I suggest that Modi’s emphasis on social media governance leads to “selfie nationalism,” a clear break from Mohandas Gandhi’s advocacy of “spiritual nationalism.” Modi’s nationalism is based on a belief in right-wing Hinduism, a relentless advocacy for business, his presentation of himself as both a global leader and a commoner who can identify with Indians of all castes and classes, and his silence on minority rights, poverty, free press, judiciary and legislative processes, and India’s plural religious traditions. I conclude that with the rise of Modi’s brand of “selfie nationalism,” coupled with increasing rural-urban polarization, democracy in India is more akin to what O’Donnell refers to as “delegative” rather than representational democracy.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Post-truth, understood as a turn from collective sense and judgment to nonpublic forms of epistemic justification, is a distinctly rhetorical problem. This article offers, in response, a theorization of knowledge making as the means by which affective and material impingements upon bodies become publicly legible and rhetorically available. For this, the author turns, perhaps unexpectedly, to John Locke. Locke’s works offer the foundations of an empirical theory of rhetoric that embraces the sensible realm not as a conduit to reality but as a space where social connection becomes possible. Locke engages this realm through natural historical inquiry. Tracing this inquiry to his commonplacing practices, the author presents the rhetorical-dialectical topics as a basis for the shared sense and judgment that he pursued and that post-truth demands. The topics, this article argues, guide and enlarge the senses, forming objects of knowledge with which to sustain public life—objects about which plural truths are possible.

Full textAbstract:
Digital switchover of (DSO) of terrestrial broadcasting constitutes one of the most critical moments of policy change in Europe because it offered a unique opportunity of reconceptualising public media space for the next era of communication. The promise of a plural and public service oriented broadcast policy legitimized efforts of citizens investing in digitization, provided public acceptance and approval to the changes set to terminate analogue television. This article explores the policy framing of the switchover process in the European Union. It finds that DSO was constructed around overly technical and economic frames in the policy, a strategy, which allowed building an argument of neutrality of technology and hence of the steps policy-makers were making. This construction did not address the exclusion and side-lining of the social and political consequences of free-to-air reduction. The article argues that this practice provided a low-conflict policy process led by the European Commission between 2005 and 2015 and showcased a paradox on European spectrum policy. The article further argues that the governance of digitalization of Europe’s screens presents a case of highly complex low-salience regulatory policy, which means muted participation of citizens and limited public debate. Ultimately, this strategy undermines democratic practice and meaningful transparency in European policy-making as it eliminates deliberations on what constitutes public interest in the 21st media context. The analyses of communication DSO policy as a matter of polity situate well with European media governance scholarship.

Full textAbstract:
I will relocate Zafer Şenocak’s work within the aesthetics of postmigration. His novel Perilous Kinship (Gefährliche Verwandtschaft 1998) can be regarded as an important attempt to challenge and change the political core narrative of Germany as a homogeneous society during reunification times. By contributing to the political and public discourses of national belonging, integration policies and immigration politics from the late 1990s onward, the novel’s fragmented, open-ended story can be seen as a distinct example for a narrative of postmigratory belonging that goes beyond territorial, ethnically essentialized and otherwise fixated constructions of cultural identities, including postcolonial and hybrid identity constructions. The novel, by style and structure, can be analysed through the lens of a transformative aesthetics that makes the visible invisible (and vice versa), undoes marginalization and in so doing demonstrates the construction of identity and society as plural and performative. It further challenges the perception of Berlin as a site of coherent national history by describing it as ‘The capital of the fragment’ and as ‘a city of immigration par excellence’. My argument is that the protagonist’s multi-layered cultural identity construction as someone, who discovers his Jewish-German-Turkish family connections, draws parallels to the conceptualization of Berlin as a super-diverse metropolitan space.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an introduction to studies of Urban Beautification Societies (“UBSs” in the plural) active in times of Galicia’s autonomy (1867–1914). The Societies were community organisations set up in many cities and towns across Galicia from the 1880s onwards with a view to improve the aesthetic in public urban space. To Galicia, years of its autonomy yielded years of considerable expansion of civic freedoms, including the re-enacted right to association. Formed by individuals with university education, UBSs were popular throughout Galicia, their structure frequently reflecting the local cross-section and specificity of social strata. Established in large, medium-sized, and small cities and towns (such as Cracow and Lviv; Przemyśl; Wadowice and Wieliczka), they attempted to reach their goals chiefly through establishing urban parks and green squares (often as not with accompanying infrastructure, such as tennis courts or bowling alleys); planting trees in market and other public squares and along communication routes; developing aesthetically pleasing small architecture; and taking initiative to erect monuments and install commemorative plaques, usually commissioned with eminent artists. The latter – in large cities in particular, where art communities were large and powerful – were occasionally UBS co-organisers and members, and thus capable of considerable influence over any Society activities, potentially including publishing, graphic artists and painters especially prominent therein.

Full textAbstract:
The study addresses the issue of strategic communications in Ukraine’s information space. It defines strategic communications as a system of informational multi-dimensional interaction with the public on socially relevant topics through diverse mass media outlets directed at promoting national goals. Strategic communications aim at exerting influence on the individual by appealing to the freedom of speech principle and providing strong encouragement towards independent decision-making, as well as by drawing the public’s attention to socially relevant issues and the ways to approach them. Strategic communications entail the emergence of distinct strategic narratives. Therefore, gaining a better insight into strategic narratives allows determining the causes of the socially significant situation and the prospects for its resolution. The paper explores the narrative about the origin of the Ukrainians, which is steadily unfolding in the information space. This narrative represents a distinct multimodal semantic plural aimed at promoting the idea of national identity and statehood. The study has found that different versions of the strategic narrative about the origin of the Ukrainians in the Internet space have similar semantic and conceptual patterns and involve multiple narrators. At the same time, they provide varying amounts of information and commenting features, target different audiences, and, for this reason, require relevant tools of influence, namely argumentation and suggestion. Тhe methods of randomizing ideas, breaking patterns, and creating cognitive dissonance are widely used in the creolized political texts. In the context of information warfare, a powerful strategic narrative, as a rule, instigates the emergence of a counter-narrative, which has an asymmetrical structure. The struggle of narratives has become the dominant feature of modern media space.

Full textAbstract:
To understand how people cultivate and sustain authenticity in multiple, often shifting, work roles, we analyze qualitative data gathered over five years from a sample of 48 plural careerists—people who choose to simultaneously hold and identify with multiple jobs. We find that people with multiple work identities struggle with being, feeling, and seeming authentic both to their contextualized work roles and to their broader work selves. Further, practices developed to cope with these struggles change over time, suggesting a two-phase emergent process of authentication in which people first synchronize their individual work role identities and then progress toward harmonizing a more general work self. This study challenges the notion that consistency is the core of authenticity, demonstrating that for people with multiple valued identities, authenticity is not about being true to one identity across time and contexts, but instead involves creating and holding cognitive and social space for several true versions of oneself that may change over time. It suggests that authentication is the emergent, socially constructed process of both determining who one is and helping others see who one is.

Full textAbstract:
We cannot reduce a pictorial work to an image or painting. As a work, it invokes, from the outset, other paintings, sketches, variants, a creative practice, a know-how, materials and gestures, forms of legitimation, exhibition, publication and archiving devices, etc. Therefore, we can consider each painting part of one or several series. The work is then the series, not each of the paintings taken separately. We thus adopt a conception of the work as fundamentally being plural, hybrid, heterogeneous, and one of the effects of this is the series. If we consider a painting as an image, the presentation space is flat and delimited by edges: exploration and interpretation are constrained by this elementary topology. But, if one adopts the perspective of the work as a series, the evoked space-time is multiple, stratified, and multi-dimensional. Choosing the serial analysis of the works does not imply that they are already classified as ‘serial’ but that the method that will apply to them will reveal serial properties. In this article, seriality is approached only in a comparative way, as the comparison of the work of two painters who oppose formidable difficulties: an Iranian painter, Medhi Sahabi, and a French painter, Georges Laurent. In both cases, the serial structure and meaning have a concrete impact on understanding the work and the choices we must make when presenting them in public: How do we organize the exhibition? How do you configure the archiving? From a methodological viewpoint, this serial analysis involves identifying the syntagmatic forms of associations and metamorphoses within the series and then the properties of the space-time in which they unfold.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe social history of colonial Southeast Asia has often been narrated through the lens of ‘plural societies’, where various ethnic groups rarely mixed. This article challenges that narrative by pointing to traditions of multi-ethnic interaction, particularly in port cities, dating back to an early modern age of commerce. Although colonialism introduced new racial hierarchies that reinforced stark ethnic divides, it also created arenas where these could be transgressed. In the interwar era, international organizations, such as Rotary clubs, provided a way of breaking the colour bar of colonial society and a venue for multi-ethnic representation in a shared associational space. They converged with existing notions of civic duty, while promoting a public intellectual culture in cities for both men and women, as well as a new sense of regionalism. In ethnically divided Malaya, Asian Rotarians questioned the importance of race and debated the possibilities of a multi-ethnic future for the nation. While such cosmopolitan ideals were more vulnerable in the post-colonial era of nation-states, the organizations of the interwar era left important legacies for civil society in the region.

In September 2021, the conflict between West Papuan separatist groups and the Indonesian National Army (TNI) heated up. Kompas.com, one of Indonesia's media with the most extensive readership, contributes significantly to public understanding and perception of the West Papua crisis. This study aims to examine how Kompas.com frames the West Papua crisis on 7-30 September 2021. Framing analysis examines three important aspects of news framing: crisis frames, thematic and episodic frames, and news sources. The news regarding the West Papua crisis on 7-30 September 2020 was only filled with three frames: conflict, attribution of responsibility, and human interest. Kompas.com has tried to provide space for parties with a moderate position in the conflict, such as the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI), Komnas HAM (National Commission on Human Rights), and Kontras (The Commission for Disappeared and Victims of Violence). However, in general, the news is still very much dominated by news sources from the Indonesian government and the military and not using enough thematic frames. Kompas.com needs to be more comprehensive to report on the crisis in West Papua during the reporting period of 7-30 September 2020. Kompas.com also does not elaborate that the Free Papua movement is plural and fragmentary, with a spectrum of violent movements to peace movements. The conclusion of this study, Kompas.com tends to blur the context of the West Papua crisis, which risks limiting and directing public understanding of the West Papua crisis to exist within the government's frame.

Our national commitment can be seen through three phases, namely in the early days of independence, in the New Order era, and in the Reform Era. Our national commitment at the beginning of the independen- ce is scratched as negative-defensive nationalism force, when it was faced with a common enemy from outside (colonization). Our national commit- ment in the New Order era is marked by making economy as the comman- der in terms of growth, stability and centralization of power, bringing a variety of inequality. The most striking, there is lack of harmony between the national and statehood character. National multicultural character of Indonesia was denied by the centralized nature of waking state. Imbalance between central and local government with denial of political, social, eco- nomic and cultural rights of local communities. Meanwhile, the national commitment in the Reformation Era is characterized by openness and free- dom of public space that brings euphoria for the expression of marginalized identities. Efforts to bring diversity of expression "plural monoculturalism" into the situation of "multi-culturalism"—with willingness of being differen- ce (pluralism) and willingness of being united (cosmopolitanism)— requires a new solidarity framework, which is based on the premises of political na- tionalism based on rationality, volunteerism and shared prosperity.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDespite the problematic political positions he adopted during his life span, the work of Carl Schmitt contains a fascinating argument in favour of ‘the political’, which is understood as a plural symbolic space composed of friends and enemies who reciprocally recognise each other. Schmitt’s struggle for the political is a struggle for a public spirit which accounts for this plurality. One of the terrains on which Schmitt wages this struggle is that of historical meaning. The image of history is crucial for the political, as it is one level on which the relation between enemies is symbolised. In this paper, Schmitt’s polemic for a political conception of history, which gives the enemy and the defeated their due place as political subjects, will be reconstructed. Central to Schmitt’s endeavour is the attempt to think historical singularity, against the notion of repetition in history, against the understanding of history as a reservoir of ‘lessons’ and against ideologies of progress. Through his polemic, a profane and sober image of history appears which stresses singularity, relative contingency and openness, and the pluralisation of social temporalities. The enigmatic notion of the katechon will play a crucial role in providing a very minimal but crucial form of historical meaning for such a political conception of history.

Full textAbstract:
Partindo da análise dos processos de expansão das formas de participação das mulheres no espaço público e da escolarização feminina na cidade do Rio de Janeiro das últimas décadas do século XIX, este artigo é fruto de uma investigação sobre o plebiscito realizado em 1906 pelo jornal de circulação diária, O Paiz, sobre a educação da mulher e os gêneros de trabalho que ela poderia exercer “sem decair”. Durante o mês de abril de 1906, cartas, supostamente escritas por leitores e leitoras, foram publicadas na coluna “Como deve ser educada a mulher”. A abordagem está centrada nas contribuições da história das mulheres com base na perspectiva da construção social das relações de gênero, flexionando-as no plural e conjugando-as a partir de uma perspectiva relacional. Verificou-se, pelos textos das cartas, a polissemia da expressão “emancipação da mulher” no período, sendo necessário atentar para os seus vários sentidos. O exercício do magistério é o ponto de consenso entre os participantes do plebiscito, tendo em vista a “tradição inventada” no século XIX da associação do ensino de crianças a uma suposta natureza feminina, uma construção que poucas participantes ousaram contestar nas cartas. O acesso à imprensa possibilitou a manifestação de alguns dos anseios quanto às posições ocupadas por mulheres naquela sociedade, sobretudo as letradas, que vislumbravam na educação a possibilidade de obter autonomia, reconhecimento e ascensão profissional.* * *Based on the analysis of the processes of expansion of women’s participation in public space and feminine schooling in the city of Rio de Janeiro during the last decades of the nineteenth century, this article is the result of an investigation on a plebiscite conducted in 1906 by the daily newspaper, O Paiz, about women’s education and the labor genres that they could perform “without decadence”. During the month of April, 1906, letters, allegedly written by readers, were published in the column “How Women Should Be Educated”. The approach focuses on the contributions of women’s history based on the perspective of social construction of gender relations, using them in plural form and from a relational perspective. The polysemy of the expression “emancipation of women” in the period was verified by the texts contained in the letters, and it was necessary to pay attention to their several meanings. The exercise of teaching is a point of consensus among participants in the plebiscite, considering the nineteenth-century “invented tradition” related to the association between teaching children and an alleged feminine nature, a construction that few participants dared to challenge in the letters. The access to the daily press made it possible to express some of the anxieties about the positions occupied by women in that society, particularly those who were literate and saw education as a possibility of obtaining autonomy, recognition and professional ascension.

Reflections on the evolution of the state of the art in the study of religion, society, and politics in Latin America over the last five decades begin with a critical assessment of the conventional wisdom of fifty years ago, as conveyed in texts and in graduate education. Stress was placed on modernization and secularization (with religion depicted as static and destined to decline) on consensus as a foundation for social life, and on drawing clear lines between religion and politics. These concepts were of little use when confronted in the late 1960s with a reality of continuous change, conflict, and efforts from left and right to assert a public role for religion. Working concepts of religion and politics had to be broadened well beyond church and state. Conceptual space had to be found for religious pluralism as the emergence of Pentecostal and evangelical churches was putting an end to centuries of Catholic monopoly: Latin America was becoming religiously plural. The state of the art is now much improved. Current and future research could usefully focus attention on issues like sexuality, gender, and identity, spirituality and encounters with charismatic power, and the new realities of religion and violence. Mid-range theories that give prominence to change and to the relation among social levels, and mixed methodologies that highlight meaning and significance will be central to any future state of the art that can make sense of a reality marked by continuing waves of creative change.

What is at stake when political revolt depends upon radical inner experience? Is the only route to cultural and political change, as Kristeva seems to argue, through personal introspection and revolt? If we want more from life than the freedom to channel surf, as she says, need the direction of inquiry be primarily inward? Need there be an either/or of psychical versus public life? Is the only answer to social and political dead ends really found by turning inward? Is the micropolitics of the couch the path to freedom? “Today,” Kristeva writes, “psychical life knows that it will only be saved if it gives itself the time and space of revolt: to break off, remember, re-form. From prayer to dialogue, through art and analysis, the crucial event is always the great infinitesimal emancipation: to be endlessly recommenced.” In this essay I ask whether we might move Kristeva’s “New Forms of Revolt” from the couch to the polis with the help of one of her major interlocutors, Hannah Arendt, who reminds us that thinking is always a plural affair. I develop a link between Arendt’s thinking and Kristeva’s revoltto show how thinking-as-revolt puts subjects in relation to each other and to the political. Such a political culture of revolt can engage in the work needed to move beyond adolescent fixations in melancholic times. And with it we might in fact create more meaning for our lives.

A close reading of India’s Constitution indicates that the ideals of pluralism and diversity underpin our basic approach to environmental issues. All the same, the past record of environmental governance in the country suggests that the twin ideals have not been adequately captured through appropriate policies and programmes. Part of the reason for this situation has been the predominant use of command and control instruments for realizing environmental goals. This article argues that the future of environmental governance in India lies in pursuing the principles of pluralism and diversity through balanced approaches to issues. This would imply having an open mind towards ‘command and control’ and ‘market based instruments’, pursuing economic and social development within the ambit of environmental policies, conserving the diversity of landscapes and nurturing a network of public spheres that can create plural viewpoints on environmental issues. In the light of the current environmental scenario in the country, where local commons and global commons fight for space, it is argued that an enlightened ‘fiat and forbearance regime’ that balances the ‘global’ with the ‘local’ offers the best hope for promoting plurality and diversity in environmental governance. The article unfolds the architecture of an enlightened fiat and forbearance regime for India in its local, regional, national and global dimensions. It is argued that a multi-level, multi-stakeholder governance system, if backed by certain enabling principles, can help India realize the paradigm of ‘enlightened fiat and forbearance regime’ in the realm of environment.

The possibilities offered by Virtual Archaeology generated a great deal of enthusiasm during the 1990s despite limitations of the technology. Today, with advances in computer graphics and processing power, 3D applications are increasingly used in furthering the documentation, conservation and preservation of ancient heritage. This paper examines the digital reconstruction of Ismant el-Kharab, ancient Kellis, Egypt based upon data from excavations carried out by Dr Colin Hope and Dr Gillian Bowen, Centre for Archaeology & Ancient History, Monash University. Presently ancient Kellis exists principally in data not immediately interpretable to the general public. In line with the growing emphasis on Virtual Heritage, comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) visualisations can significantly advance the awareness of historical sites normally inaccessible due to their location or fragile condition. Visualisations stretching across time and space can provide the possibility of visiting places that no longer exist or of viewing how places would have appeared at different times in their history. In the case of ancient Kellis, as in most archaeological excavations, a complete reconstruction is not possible as only a fraction survives. Several theories may compete to explain probable or possible reconstructions; a presentation of plural visualisations is the only way to obtain reasonable results. Interactive applications offer the ability to compare and contrast details of buildings and suggested reconstructions and choose between visualisations where temporal and spatial aspects can be explored. These techniques can significantly advance the archaeological interpretation of the site.

Full textAbstract:
In a context where “African identity†is a category that is often homogenised across a vast and diverse continent and beyond, there is a need to interrogate and better understand the concept. The prevalence of migration and cultural exchange in our interconnected world makes it imperative to look beyond race and space as a way of understanding identity, speaking both to sameness and difference. Acknowledging the complexities and the contested nature of identities and in particular, African identity/identities, this paper argues against an essentialised approach to identities in a global context. It explores and builds on arguments for plural identities, mobilising concepts of heterogeneity and plurality, agency and public deliberation from the Capability Approach in order to advance a way of understanding and negotiating identities that allows for a reasoned, flexible and inclusive approach. The Capability Approach is proposed as a generative normative framework which provides an important way to explain and negotiate identities in Africa based on human development grounded in social justice. In doing so, the paper acknowledges an understanding of identity as multifaceted and fluid, and when informed by human development and capabilities, is able to strengthen values like tolerance and accommodation of the “other†on the basis of recognition, respect and equality. I focus on the freedoms, opportunities and choices available for individuals to deliberate on the type of identities or African identities that they value on the assumption that identity is an object of reasoned choice, even though subject to constraints, and that more than oneidentity choice is possible.

Full textAbstract:
Civil society is the space of uncoerced human association and relational networks formed for the sake of family, faith, interests and ideology. Supporters of civil society have argued that this conglomeration of networks and organisations has helped to fuel democratic aspirations and channel democratic demands in Africa. Proponents maintain that civil society serves as a counter to the actions of the predatory African state, which seeks to limit individual freedoms and to encroach on societal resources. By questioning the actions of state officials and by challenging state policies, civil society organisations can cause the state to be more accountable and transparent, and can facilitate a positive deconcentration of political power. A plural, vibrant civil society encourages political liberalisation and the development of a democratic and legitimate state. It is because the organisations of civil society promote democratic values among their members that they are able to challenge repressive state actions and facilitate democratic development. Since their members trust each other and feel that they have a say in group activities, democratic organisations are more unified and effective at achieving their political objectives.This article challenges these assumptions about civil society through an examination of rural Senegalese organisations. I argue that groups in civil society rarely teach their members democratic values because most associations do not practice legitimate, inclusive and accountable decision making. More often than not, social hierarchies and power relations that define how individuals of different genders and classes are to interact in the public realm limit democracy. As a result, civil society groups often become ineffective and disorganised, and cannot achieve their political, economic or social goals. The inefficiency and undemocratic nature of civil society have larger implications for democratic transitions in Africa.

RESUMO: A mobilidade tecnológico-digital tem possibilitado a ressignificação de práticas sociais que, deslocadas para tempos-espaços outros, trazem à tona uma diversidade de suportes e gêneros – geralmente híbridos em sua natureza. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar duas postagens de redes sociais públicas sustentadas pelo Facebook, a fim de estabelecer possíveis diálogos entre os conceitos de cronotopo e arquitetônica (como eixo articulador de enunciados). Adota-se como metodologia a análise dialógica de discursos com base nas teorizações propostas por Bakhtin (1981b; 1998[1975], 2006[1929]), aportadas por uma visão pluralista e translíngue das linguagens visibilizadas nos dados, e propõe-se cogitar sua interface com a educação linguística crítica. A partir de Recuero (2009), entende-se que as redes sociais se configuram como “metáfora” das relações estabelecidas por seus participantes, sendo o Facebook um dos sistemas que apoiam essas redes. Conclui-se que, para estabelecer suas conexões, os participantes das redes sociais lançam mão da multimodalidade e multissemioticidade ao construir, curtir e compartilhar textos/enunciados permeados pela pluralidade cultural, refletindo-a e refratando-a. Por conseguinte, observa-se que os letramentos contemporâneos são constituintes de e constituídos por essas práticas, manifestando diferentes e múltiplos letramentos, (inter)conectados por hiperinterações, configurando um novo ethos. Os interlocutores observados se permitem (re)produzir e circular textos/enunciados, engajando-se discursivamente para construir sentidos compartilhados contextualmente e apontando, por vezes, para o translinguismo e suas manifestações.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tecnologias digitais; redes sociais; educação linguística crítica; arquitetônica; translinguismo. ABSTRACT:The digital-technologic mobility has resignified social practices which – being re-located to other time-space frames – bring about a myriad of apparatus and genres, usually hybrid in its birth. The objective of this paper is to analyze two posts published in public social networks supported by Facebook, aiming at establishing possible dialogues between the concepts of chronotope and architectonic (as an articulating axis of utterances). We take as methodology a dialogic discourse analysis, based on Bakhtin´s proposed ideas (1981b; 1998[1975], 2006 [1929]). A plural and translingual approach to the languages which outcome from data sustains the analysis which questions its overlapping with critical language education. Recuero (2009) views of social media networks fundaments the understanding that they might be taken as a “metaphor” for the relationships established among their participants and assumes that Facebook takes a role of a system which supports those relations. In order to establish connections, social media participants resort to multimodality and multissemiosis as they construct, “like” and share texts/utterances that are permeated by cultural plurality, both refracting and reflecting it. Thus, contemporary literacies are constituted by as well as they constitute (themselves) those practices, within multiple and diverse literacies which are interconnected by hypertextual interactions, generating a new ethos. Those interlocutors allow themselves to (re) produce and circulate texts, engaging discursively to construct contextually shared meanings and sometimes pointing to translingualism and its manifestations.KEYWORDS: digital Technologies; social media; critical linguistic education; architectonic; translingualism.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the relation between democracy and education in the context of radical student activism. Drawing upon participant observation and interviews with left-wing student activists in New Zealand in 2012 and 2015, it argues that a one-sided preoccupation with the student activists’ public actions as attempts to unleash disruptive forces of the political risks ignoring the undecidability and profoundly experimental and educative aspects of their activities. By paying attention to the less publicly visible social settings – or ‘free spaces’ – shaped by ideals of flat, horizontal democracy, the article shows how the students continuously mediate their radicality by negotiating and balancing a sense of ‘responsibility to act’ with a sense of ‘responsibility to otherness’. Democratic engagement thereby not only becomes a question of ‘disruptive’ political influence; it also comes to revolve around the continuous creation of spaces for collective self-education and experimentation with the conjuring of a common – yet plural – world.

Diversity is a condition that is so in new countries after the second world wars. Therefore, they develop strategies to integrate and minimize differences, from the use of repressive means to the means of hegemony. In a situation of globalization, it is not entirely successful. By taking three local communities in East Java, this study shows that local communities have different strategies from the state. Local elites develop strategies by mixing mythology, developing rules of play in public spaces to superstructure networks.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses the structural historical conditions of the Mexican communication system (MCS) in relation to the process of its democratisation. In order to analyse this process of democratisation, the research focused on the struggles of the third sector of the media – citizen/community/popular/free/alternative/radical/indigenous – to find room in that communication system. The aim was to highlight the structural inequality faced by this sector when compared with the hegemony of the private/commercial – or first – sector. From a normative perspective, a democratic and pluralistic communication system must have fair and equitable conditions among the three media sectors – private, public and citizen – with the aim of generating horizontal public spheres as a plural network of spaces for public conversation and deliberation on common issues.
