A prevalência do viés romântico do estilo sertanejo brasileiro não é difícil de perceber. Esta, aliás, é considerada uma de suas principais características. Mas mostra-se elucidativo, também, buscar rastrear exemplos, neste mesmo cancioneiro, de traços e elementos de misoginia e de estereotipização da figura feminina presentes em algumas dessas canções consideradas românticas. No caso deste artigo, interessa-nos discutir alguns desses estereótipos que foram construídos e reproduzidos através da música sertaneja, observados aqui, especialmente, no contexto da violência contra a mulher. Para tanto, analisamos as letras de quatro músicas que se tornaram sucesso ao longo das últimas décadas, buscando nelas perceber os diferentes modos de idealização da mulher advindos de uma condição subalterna a qual ela foi submetida ao longo dos tempos, condição que se reflete nos dias de hoje.

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Instructor shortages are affecting the quality and quantity of Army truck driver training. Fort Leonard Wood, which trains about 90 percent of truck drivers, is especially affected by the instructor shortage. The result is that student drivers are not fully trained in all aspects of the instruction program when they graduate. If formal schools had enough instructors, they would presumably be able to teach the entire instruction program. The student imbalance between the schools at Fort Leonard Wood and Fort Bliss creates an ineffective use of resources. If the annual student load were more equally distributed between the two schools, student graduates from Fort Leonard Wood might receive more complete training. The formal schools are not adhering to the instruction program, which calls for some training with trucks carrying cargo. Furthermore, no training is provided on how to pull equipment. Similarly, students are not being trained to drive under different weather and surface conditions. Because annual check rides and sustainment are not always being performed, unsafe driving habits may go undetected. Although performing and recording check rides and sustainment may be time-consuming, these procedures can save lives. The Army Safety Center's accident database could be used to identify trends that may show the need for greater training emphasis in certain driving maneuvers. A periodic analysis of the database could assist school officials, instructors, and supervisors to adjust instruction programs or mentor drivers. However, such analysis would be more useful if information in the database were complete."

Paper presented at the American Anthropological Association, Panel on Glitches, rollouts and stakeholders: the social life of policy jargon. Words have a life, especially in the anthropology of policy. This panel focuses on the social dynamics of policy language, particularly the integration of bureaucratic terminology with metaphors and imagery from other fields and knowledge domains. Policy initiatives are replete with prescriptive labels that policies should be 'evidence-based' and that they should include sufficient transparency, accountability, ownership, reform, buy-in and partnership. Policy implementation invokes terms and images such as roll-out and glitches. Policy debate and contestation continues and enhances these terms, invoking issues of risk, governance, ethics and compliance. These terms become tools used by policy actors in forming and executing programs, by those who are its targets or stakeholders, and by the opponents of the policy agendas. Policy talk is more than terminology, more than rhetoric, and more than discourse. It is power itself. It is politics. The papers in this panel offer a comparative perspective on the production and use of policy language across policy domains (development, health, education, welfare, private sector). They add a further contribution to the burgeoning field of anthropology of policy. Abstract of this paper 'Policies and procedures' are an essential part of all private sector firms. As part of the trend toward corporate ethics and the need to comply with international business regulations and anti-bribery standards, many global firms have developed their own internal codes of conduct. These codes, alongside the more specific 'policies and procedures', are promulgated and enforced by the firm's 'ethics and compliance officer'. Only by respecting the code of conduct can the firm achieve a genuine 'culture of compliance'. But this requires a visible commitment from upper management, known as 'tone at the top'. Without tone at the top, the code of ethics will not be taken seriously by middle management or subordinate personnel. There will be no 'culture of compliance'. Based on research among compliance professionals, this paper discusses the terminological debates involved in the search for the right 'tone'.

AbstractAfter North Korea conducted its third nuclear test despite sanctions to deter its nuclear program, U.S. and Korean newspapers reported in different and surprising ways. Although both featured a negative tone, the Korean newspapers focused on community concerns and defense while U.S. papers focused on world leaders.

Organisé par des migrants vivant aujourd'hui en région parisienne, le séjour « Des racines pour ton avenir » vise à faire connaître « le pays » et « la famille » à des adolescents « originaires du Mali mais ayant grandi en France ». Ce faisant, il représente un moment de cristallisation des positions sociales et des assignations ethnoraciales des participants : de manière simultanée, il entraîne une requalification et une disqualification de ces derniers, associés à la figure des « jeunes de banlieue en difficulté ». Les écarts entre leurs expériences et les visées éducatives des organisateurs apparaissent alors prégnants.
