Notes from a Modern Chimurenga is an extensive collection of Zimbabwe's political struggle short stories. It covers: the modern Chimurenga period from the formation of tribal trust lands (The Tortoise); the liberation wars (Zanzibar, Eating Whilst Running); the Gukurahundi massacre (Gukurahundi); the late 1990s democratic struggles pitting ZANUPF against the MDC (The List, Mbuya Chitungwiza, Operation Murambatsvina, Notes from Mai Mujuru's Breast, Breaking the Silence); the individual struggle within this democratic struggle (Mushazhike, Nyadzonya); the resultant migration and exilitic stories (Limpopo Bones, Germinston 1401); the corruption (Nyakasikana, Tree of the Year); the mismanagement of the country, the beatings and killings (Leonard, Karidza, Raising A Cain again); and the continuing democratic struggles.

Preprint ; Much of the body of literature on LGBT+ populations within the United States place urban areas and so-called "gayborhoods" as goals and eventualities, paralleling early U.S. studies on immigration. Using a multi-stage, mixed-methods approach, consisting of secondary analysis of the Pew 2013 Study of LGBT Persons (N=1,197) and in-depth interviews (35 gay men, 2 trans-identifying individuals, 1 heterosexual woman, and 2 lesbians), we found that rural LGBT+ residents engaged in both short-term and long-term travel to mitigate feelings of being spatially segregated from the loci of gay social life--what Ghaziani (2019) refers to as cultural archipelagos. However, rural residents also used their geographical location to resist dominant narratives about LGBT+ life. Some of our respondents felt that living in rural areas better situated them to be activists and advocates for LGBT+ rights, while others simply did not feel they could be comfortable within more urban contexts. These findings suggest that rural LGBT+ residents may have delinked their sexual selves with their cultural and political selves, thus illustrating the plurality of rural queer voices that exists. As we also argue, while residence category should be considered as influencing one's experience, care must be used to avoid overly deterministic accounts. Finally, this paper extends earlier work by Brekhus (2003), Mattson (2015), Ghaziani (2019) by presenting the meaningfulness of travel to and from queer cultural strongholds.

According to Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede, cultural heroes (e.g. artists) provide a personalized link between symbols and rituals in culture. This article assumes that 'heroes,' for instance creators of art brut, embody important choices of life values.The French term art brut, meaning 'raw art,' or 'rough art,' was created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of mainstream culture. Art brut is a unique phenomenon appealing in particular to those who accept a special responsibility for the artifacts thus created.Today, all the shapes of virtue (embraced by truth, goodness, and beauty) are corollary of a consensus, that is, they establish a comparative measure of things and of people. Only art, provided it is not kitsch, escapes this new form of power. Hermann Broch reanchors the value of beauty in the metaphysical realm and puts it in the center of the aesthetic discourse.Within Kantian aesthetics, imagination is analyzed as related to the pure forms of time and space, and the scheme this analysis renders is considered as the model for understanding art. However, Jacques Rancière warns against extrapolating this paradigm onto "politicized" thinking, in particular by means of the media which use emotional images and evoke certain sentiments in order to justify individual opinions without appealing to the imagination. Social stratification, which is a mark of the modern (philistine and bourgeoise) society, excludes certain individuals (for instance, certain artists) from public discourse, or even removes them from the public horizon. Currently, we witness gradual disappearance of axiological considerations combining ethics with aesthetics and linking the value of the good to that of beauty. Ethical and human values, such as those inherent in the Decalogue, are still recognized, but they are no longer considered as binding: rather, they are privatized and perceived as relative to particular historical circumstances, which, in turn, are relativized by the humanities, as well as by the social sciences. ; Według Geerta Hofstede i Gerta Jana Hofstede bohaterowie kultury (na przykład artyści) stanowią spersonalizowany łącznik między symbolami kultury a rytuałami. W artykule założono, że "bohaterowie" ci, jak na przykład twórcy sztuki art brut, ucieleśniają ważne wybory wartości życiowych.Francuski termin art brut, oznaczający "surową sztukę" lub "szorstką sztukę", został stworzony przez francuskiego artystę Jeana Dubuffeta na opisanie sztuki tworzonej poza granicami głównego nurtu kultury. Art brut jest zjawiskiem wyjątkowym, dlatego ten rodzaj sztuki przemawia do osób, które naznaczone są szczególną odpowiedzialnością za to, co zostało stworzone.Wszystkie formy cnoty (prawdy, dobra, piękna) są tylko funkcjami konsensu, co oznacza, że ustanawiają one miarę porównawczą rzeczy i ludzi, tylko sztuka wymyka się tej nowej formie władzy. Ma to jednak miejsce pod warunkiem, że sztuka nie jest kiczem. Hermann Broch, podając najlepszą definicję kiczu, ponownie zakotwicza wartość piękna w świecie metafizycznym, w centrum dyskursu estetycznego.W estetyce kantowskiej schemat wyobraźni oparty jest na dwóch formach: czasu i przestrzeni i stanowi on model rozumienia sztuki. Jacques Rancière ostrzega przed "podnoszeniem go do potęgi" poprzez "upolitycznienie" myślenia, poprzez wykorzystywanie obrazów uzasadniających indywidualne opinie, budzących emocje, ale nie poruszających wyobraźni. Nowoczesna ekspansja życia tworzy podziały między obywatelami (w ramach mieszczaństwa – nowej burżuazji), wykluczając rzeczywistość (na przykład niektórych artystów) z dyskursu publicznego, a nawet usuwając ich z pola percepcji. Obecnie obserwujemy zanik refleksji nad szeroko pojętym pięknem – refleksji aksjologicznej, której celem było połączenie etyki z estetyką, a wartości dobra z wartością piękna. Wciąż istnieją pewne ogólne etyczne wartości ludzkie, takie jak Dekalog, ale obecnie są one pozbawione mocy wiążącej i zależą od uwarunkowań historycznych relatywizowanych w naukach humanistycznych i społecznych.

El artículo analiza los efectos reparadores de los juicios penales por crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos en el marco del terrorismo de Estado en Argentina en los años 70s y 80s. En este marco se analiza el signifi cado que estos juicios, que se llevan a cabo desde el 2006, tienen para las víctimas sobrevivientes de la dictadura y familiares de desaparecidos. Con base al trabajo de campo en seis ciudades de Argentina y metodología cualitativa con más de setenta entrevistas a las víctimas del terrorismo de Estado; abogados, fiscales y jueces. Se examina el rol reparador que la justicia penal ha tenido para muchos sobrevivientes y familiares de desaparecidos desde su reapertura en 2006. El concepto de reparación es aquí analizado como posibilidad concreta de cambios que son percibidos como positivos para las víctimas. Los juicios a través de sus procedimientos, de su carácter público y de alcance social tienen el potencial de generar cambios signifi cativos en la vida y el entorno de las víctimas, lo cual para muchas de ellas signifi ca una experiencia reparadora. La justicia puede tener así, a su vez, un impacto signifi cativo en la dignidad, los derechos y la calidad de vida de los sobrevivientes, ex reclusos políticos y familiares de personas desaparecidas en diferentes regiones del país. ; This paper analyzes the reparative effects of trials related to crimes against humanity committed during the period of state terrorism in Argentina in the 1970s and 1980s. It analyzes the meaning that these trials, which began in 2006, have had for survivors of the dictatorship and for the families of missing persons. The study employs a qualitative approach and is based on the fieldwork carried out in six Argentinian cities, where more than seventy victims lawyers, judges, and prosecutors were interviewed. The concept of reparation is analyzed here as a concrete possibility for change that is perceived as positive for the victims. These trials, by means of their procedures, their public character and social outreach, can potentially generate significant changes in the life of the victims and of those who surround them. Many victims experience them as a reparative experience. In this way, justice can, in turn, have a reparative effect on the dignity, the rights and the life quality of victims, political ex-convicts and families of missing persons in different regions of the country.

AbstractIn recent years people with eating disorders have begun to discuss their experiences on the Internet. While attempts to explain eating disorders in contemporary society have concentrated on their etiology as problems of individuals, the family or society, in their postings on the Internet, some people who have recovered discuss eating disorders as "eating problems" caused by excessively strict dieting. Further, they believe they overcame their disorders by consuming regular meals. The present research attempts to shed light on both the conditions surrounding sufferers of eating disorders and the direction that some have taken to affect their recovery. In this article I focus on the narratives of two people who have recovered from bulimia nervosa. I examine why they refer to their illness as an eating problem, rather than accepting conventional explanations. Further, I consider what they are trying to achieve in doing so. Two results were obtained. First, it was determined that, though both of the subjects of this research were familiar with the conventional etiological explanations of eating disorders, they both also criticize the individual, familial and societal interpretations for providing no solution. Second, it became clear, through narratives explaining eating disorders as eating problems that can be solved via eating exercises, that the subjects were attempting to reclaim the means of ending their binging and regurgitation and, more broadly, the right to solve their own problems.
