Although almost two decades passed on the end of the Cold War & the preponderance of so called civil wars in lieu of wars between states, the problem one ethnicity & ethnic violence continues to receive a special attention on the part of a great number of researchers from most diverse domains of the social sciences. The present article tries to make a critical review of the academic debates on the subject. For brevity's sake, we refer only to the most visible & widespread perspectives, here presented through three great schools of thought -- Primordialism, Instrumentalism & Constructivism. Throughout we seek to assess their respective strengths & weaknesses in the construction of strategies for conflict management. Adapted from the source document.

In the current study of conflicts, dominant visions tend to underline the decisive role of primordial ethnic or religious identities. This primordialist perspective, however, takes attention away from other important causes that contribute to the emergence and perpetuation of conflict, namely deep socioeconomic inequalities between groups. Departing from Sudan's North-South conflict, its origins and the evolution in the conflict resolution and peacebuilding models that culminated with the signature of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, we argue that effective and sustainable peace strategies in Sudan (and elsewhere) imply addressing the more structural inequalities at stake and the deconstruction of simplistic views of the role of ethnicity and religion.

This paper purpose is to peer if the toponymic tribute to Nina Rodrigues in the state of Maranhão advocates implicitly the myth sedimented by Phrenology that human interbreeding produces ethnic degeneration, as this Brazilian physician(1862-1906) used to postulate flying on the assumption of a superiority of the white ethnicity. (SKIDMORE, 1989). This is a bibliographic search and it is anchored on the studies of (CLOVAL, 2001), (NASH, 2013) e (DICK, 1987, 1990). In the beginning, it intends to show that the racist theses of Dr. Nina Rodrigues, clearly unveiled by means of the vocabulary he employs, are arising from a historic context carved out by the European Social Darwinism and the slaveholder ideology, maintained in Brazil, even after 1888, and, that such a paradigm should be rejected at the light of the highest spectrum anthropological discoveries existent today. So, starting from postulates about the negro ethnicity origin, their ethnonyms and acts in the old civilization, it touches the illation that miseducation, cruel treatment, and constant depreciation, coming from several makers of social opinion, build behaviors and the said hereditary degenerative defects, i/o it is not an immanently wild nature, but a product.

In this article, considering as a theoretical-methodological reference the discourse studies based on Michel Foucault (2004, 2005, 2007) and the definitions of colonial dispositive and ethniCity (NEVES, 2015) to understand the visual statements spread in the landscapes of Belém in the second decade of the 21st century, representing different places of enunciation about the history of the city and the indigenous peoples.I analyze the frontal of the most famous catholic church of the city and a bronze sculpture to mark the discourse of the colonization and, in contrast, I analyze graffiti of two local contemporary artists that retake the indigenous memory of Belém in their productions.In a way, update the ancient metaphor coined by Fr. Antonio Vieira, but now, as opposed to marble, not the myrtle but graffiti and its transience.

O artigo apresenta um recorte da pesquisa "Radiofonia Comunitária na Tríplice Fronteira: gênero, etnia e inclusão social midiática", cuja proposta é um estudo aprofundado sobre a participação desses grupos nas rádios comunitárias das regiões das fronteiras entre o Paraná, o Paraguai e a Argentina e o modo como estas emissoras têm favorecido a cidadania comunicativa. Em destaque, o caso da Rádio Norte FM da cidade de Cascavel, na região oeste do Paraná. Atualmente, a emissora emite 24 horas e também pode ser ouvida online. Ela abre espaço para as manifestações culturais locais e procura dar vez e voz às reivindicações de diversos movimentos sociais, cedendo-lhes espaço ao longo da programação. Este trabalho foi realizado a partir de pesquisas bibliográfica e documental, visita de campo, entrevistas e questionários dirigidos a diretores e comunicadores.
