Estudos culturais africanos e latino-americanos: perspectivas do sul-global ; African and latin american cultural studies: global-south perspectives
This text aims to discuss the so-called internationalization of cultural studies from two versions: the Latin American and the African ones. The originality of the contribution is in the presentation of the African current, little discussed in Brazilian and Latin American literature. We describe the political situation in which Latin American and African cultural studies develop, the institutional context, and present the main points that characterize these versions. We end by investing our considerations drawing approaches between them. ; Este texto tem como objetivo discutir a chamada internacionalização dos estudos culturais a partir de duas versões: a latino-americana e a africana. A originalidade da contribuição está na apresentação da corrente africana, pouco abordada na literatura brasileira e da América Latina. Descrevemos a conjuntura política em que os estudos culturais latino-americanos e africanos se desenvolvem, o contexto institucional, e apresentamos os principais pontos que caracterizam estas versões. Finalizamos nossas considerações tecendo aproximações entre ambas.

"Alguém tem de dizer aos negros a verdade": Olavo de Carvalho sobre a contribuição negro-africana à cultura ocidental
In: Griot: Revista de Filosofia, Band 21, Heft 3, S. 351-374
In the paper, we will study Olavo de Carvalho's thought, focusing on his position regarding Brazilian and American Black movement in its struggle for reparation in terms of colonialism-slavery-racism. We will argue that his refusal of any reparatory praxis to political-cultural minorities and his position of a non-place for Black-African traditions in the context of Western culture/civilization, as with respect to his defense of the inferiority of Black-African culture-civilization when compared to Jewish-Christian, Greek-Latin and Medieval-Renaissance tradition, is pervaded by a dualist metaphysics with a highly anti-modern and anti-modernizing character, in which the dynamic of streamlining of "human drama about universe and eternity" is constituted (a) by the struggle between natural necessity (Behemont) and individual consciousness (Leviathan), that can only be won by the correlation of divine grace given by Jesus Christ and personal direct and immediate interiorization and intuition by each individual with God; (b) by the refusal of politics, history and intersubjective action as basically materialism and, in this sense, as the sphere of totalitarian political ideologies (to which Enlightnment modernity is the biggest example); and, finally, (d) by the centrality of spiritualism, of intimate and direct relation between God and man, mediated by Revelation, which points to the non-existence, in the Olavo de Carvalho' thought, of objective parameters to rational discussion, interaction and justification - that is the reason of his delegitimation of science, politics, history and macro-structural institutional action, and his appeal to methodological, intuitionist and spiritualist individualism.

Histórias afro-atlânticas: Afro-Atlantic histoires / editors, Adriano Pedrosa, Tomás Toledo ; translation, Adriana Francisco, Alessandra Ribeiro, Patrick Brock
In the most violent and uncertain times of its recent history, Brazil is revisiting the origins of its racial frictions: the slave trade. "Histórias afro-atlânticas" (Afro-Atlantic Histories) is a massive, 380-work survey of African, Latin American, and European art from the past five centuries, chronicling the largest diaspora in modern history. Nearly half of all Africans captured by slave traders were brought to Brazil, from the time the Portuguese arrived, in the 16th century, all the way through the 21st century. The exhibition is a sequel to "Histórias mestiças" (Mestizo Histories), staged four years ago at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake, the cultural center that is also cohosting the current exhibition. Its scope is far-reaching, with pieces by colonial-era Dutch master Albert Eckhout and modern greats Théodore Géricault and Paul Cézanne, as well as contemporary art-world darlings Glenn Ligon, Kara Walker, and Hank Willis Thomas
Eros Volúsia - Performance, creative poetics and identity affirmation ; EROS VOLÚSIA Performance, poéticas criativas e afirmação identitária
Starting at the 1940s, Rio de Janeiro, then Brazilian federal capital and power center, begins to produce and project to Brasil an image of the "carioca" that encompasses both the idea of this individual as a member of the civilised nations intended by the elites, and also as someone who has peculiar sway, musicality and humour, brought by popular and African American cultural movements. Under the influence of World War II and the good neighbour policy stronger ties are forged between the Latin American dictatorships and the United States government. In this cultural context, Eros Volúsia emerges in exuberant performance as a dancer, teacher and creator of Brazilian Dance, a multiple and contradictory reality between tradition and popular. More than a poster girl, Eros blasts the scene with creative poetics, being more than and beyond what is expected.English version: Henrique Rochelle ; A partir dos anos 1940, o Rio de Janeiro, a Capital Federal, centro de poder, começa a produzir e projetar para o Brasil uma imagem do "carioca" que agrega tanto a ideia de ser integrante do rol das nações civilizadas pretendida pelas elites, como também portadora de uma malemolência, musicalidade e humor peculiares, trazidos pelo movimento cultural popular e negro. Já sob a influência da Segunda Guerra Mundial, estreitam-se relações entre os governos americano e ditaduras latino-americanas, a chamada política de boa vizinhança. Neste contexto cultural, Eros Volúsia desponta em performance exuberante como bailarina, professora e criadora da Dança Brasileira, uma realidade múltipla e contraditória entre a tradição e o popular. Mais que uma garota propaganda Eros explode a cena com uma poética criativa, sendo mais e além.

O legado da Presidencia Bush em Africa
In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Heft 19
ISSN: 1645-9199
The main purpose of this article is to draw a balance Bush's legacy in Africa using sources which document the perspective of both Americans & Africans. The article comprehends three main sections. The first one argues that in order to be correctly understood George W. Bush administration policies in Africa must be compared to the legacy of his predecessors -- namely Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush & Bill Clinton. The second one highlights how American strategy has now concentrated on four pillars: military cooperation, the fight against diseases such as HIV-AIDS & malaria, the protection of democracy & good governance. In the last part we try to anticipate the priorities that might figure in an African agenda of John McCain or Barack Obama. References. Adapted from the source document.
Cooperação brasileira para o desenvolvimento internacional (COBRADI): O brasil e os fundos multilaterais de desenvolvimento
According to the survey by the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) in collaboration with the Brazilian Agency for Cooperation (ABC), Brazil contributed during the period of 2005-2009, with funds for International Development in the order of R $ 3.2 billion. Of the total budget for Brazilian Cooperation for International Development (COBRADI), R $ 929.7 million, almost 30%, corresponded to contributions to multilateral development funds such as the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, the Fund for Special Operations (FSO) of the Inter-American Development Bank and the African Development Fund (ADF) of the African Development Bank. This paper seeks to describe the role of these institutions, their priorities, funding conditions and the Brazilian contribution throughout their participation as shareholders. Likewise, it seeks to launch for discussion a few elements present in the current debate on the quality of aid offered by those institutions that provide resources for the development of the poorest countries in the world, within highly concessional terms and to which Brazil has allocated a significant portion of their contributions during the period.

Os Estados Unidos e a descolonizacao portuguesa (1974-1976)
In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Heft 8, S. 5-37
ISSN: 1645-9199
The relationship between the United States & Portugal had always had a special cast to it as the result of the Azores base, & one of the most peculiar aspects of the U.S. role in Portugal & the former Portuguese territories in Africa, is that the Azores base not only contributed to the longevity of Portugal's African empire, but also, because of the economic consequences of the U.S. use of that base to re-supply Israel in 1973, became one of the most important immediate causes of the coup d'etat of April 25, 1974, which brought about its demise. This article discusses the international context of the end of Portugal's empire, with a special focus on the role of the two superpowers in Angola's civil war, & the impact of American policies in the course of Portugal's decolonization.
