Published: March 2021

Abstract. The surface mass balance of a glacier (SMB) provides the link between the glacier and the local climate. For this reason, it is intensively studied and monitored. However, major efforts are required to determine the SMB on a sufficient number of locations to capture the heterogeneity of the SMB pattern. Furthermore, because of the time-consuming and costly nature of these measurements, detailed SMB measurements are carried out on only a limited number of glaciers. In this study, we investigate how to accurately determine the SMB in the ablation zone of Vadret da Morteratsch and Vadret Pers (Engadin, Switzerland) using the continuity-equation method. For this, an elaborate dataset (spanning the 2017-2020 period) of high-resolution data derived from UAV measurements (surface elevation changes and surface velocities) is combined with reconstructed ice thickness fields (based on radar measurements). To determine the performance of the method, we compare modelled SMB with measured SMB values at the position of stakes. Our results indicate that with annual UAV surveys, it is possible to obtain SMB estimates with a mean absolute error of approximately 0.5 metre ice equivalent per year. Yet, our study demonstrates that in order to obtain these accuracies, it is necessary to consider the ice flow over spatial scales of several times the local ice thickness using an exponential decay filter. Furthermore, our study shows the crucial importance of the ice thickness, which must be sufficiently well known in order to apply the method. The latter currently hampers the application of the continuity-equation method to derive detailed SMB patterns on regional to global scales.
A process-based anatomy of Mediterranean cyclones: from baroclinic lows to tropical-like systems
Authors: Flaounas Emmanouil , Gray Suzanne L. , Teubler Franziska
Published: March 2021

Abstract. In this study, we address the question of the atmospheric processes that turn Mediterranean cyclones into severe storms. Our approach applies online potential vorticity (PV) budget diagnostics and piecewise PV inversion to WRF model simulations of the mature stage of 100 intense
Mediterranean cyclones. We quantify the relative contributions of different
processes to cyclone development and therefore deliver, for the first time,
a comprehensive insight into the variety of cyclonic systems that develop in the Mediterranean from the perspective of cyclone dynamics. In particular, we show that all 100 cyclones are systematically influenced
by two main PV anomalies: a major anomaly in the upper troposphere, related
to the baroclinic forcing of cyclone development, and a minor anomaly in the lower troposphere, related to diabatic processes and momentum forcing of wind. Among the diabatic processes, latent heat is shown to act as the main PV source (reinforcing cyclones), being partly balanced by PV sinks of
temperature diffusion and radiative cooling (weakening cyclones). Momentum
forcing is shown to have an ambiguous feedback, able to reinforce and weaken cyclones while in certain cases playing an important role in cyclone
development. Piecewise PV inversion shows that most cyclones develop due to
the combined effect of both baroclinic and diabatic forcing, i.e. due to
both PV anomalies. However, the stronger the baroclinic forcing, the less a
cyclone is found to develop due to diabatic processes. Several pairs of
exemplary cases are used to illustrate the variety of contributions of
atmospheric processes to the development of Mediterranean cyclones: (i) cases where both baroclinic and diabatic processes contribute to cyclone development; (ii) cases that mainly developed due to latent-heat release; (iii) cases developing in the wake of the Alps; and (iv) two unusual cases, one where momentum forcing dominates cyclone development and the other presenting a dual-surface pressure centre. Finally, we focus on 10 medicane cases (i.e. tropical-like cyclones). In contrast to their tropical counterparts – but in accordance with most intense Mediterranean
cyclones – most medicanes are shown to develop under the influence of both
baroclinic and diabatic processes. In discussion of medicane-driving
processes, we highlight the need for a physical definition of these systems.
Human Rights Relationship between the European Union and China: The EU Approach to the Post-Tiananmen Incident and Xinjiang Crisis in China
Authors: Eldani Mur-Hamida Sapaih
Published: March 2021

This paper specifically deals with the European Union and China Human Rights, Tiananmen, and Xinjiang. As a human rights promoter and protector, the EU turned its attention to the human rights violation issues in Tiananmen and Xinjiang. This work propels the readers to realize the EU’s efficiency and approach on human rights issues. By reviewing literature works related to the study’s theme, this review essentially examines the EU approaches in the post-Tiananmen and Xinjiang human rights dilemma. Also, it scrutinizes how the EU’s Human Rights differ from China and its impact on their human rights relationship. It indicates that the EU response during the post-Tiananmen and Xinjiang crisis was relatively weak and insufficient. Correspondingly, the diverse concept of human rights between the EU and China and their conflicting views lessen their human rights negotiations and decrease the chance of stable human rights relations.

Authors:   Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil, Amaral Mariana , Furlan Ranata , Santana Guilherme , Figueiredo Clarice
Published: March 2021

PURPOSE: To investigate the motivation and the effects of: tongue movement direction; resistance force level; repetition number; and sustained tongue contraction duration on tongue motor performance in healthy pre-teen children using computer games. METHODS: An analytical observational cross-sectional study was conducted with 15 healthy 11-13 year-old children with normal lingual strength. The participants played six computer games using a tongue-controlled joystick. The series varied the time for continuous force application on the target (3 and 5 seconds) and the target force level (0.5, 1 and 2 N). After the tests, the participants answered a questionnaire about their impressions and reactions to the game. The variables analyzed were number of attempts to score (NAS), time for which the target force was maintained (TTFM), and the time spent for scoring (TSS). RESULTS: Of 43 normally developing candidates screened for the study, 15 (35%) were included for having entirely normal tongue structure and function and for being able to complete all of the study tasks. Of the 15 participants, 11 (73.3%) said that it was easy to play, three (20.0%) found it a bit hard to play, and only one (6.6%) considered it difficult to play. The results suggest that healthy individuals with normal lingual structure and function are able to successfully perform the games, but those with longer durations of sustained contraction (5 seconds) and the most required force (2 N) are the most difficult. Leftward and upward movements were more difficult than rightward and downward movements. CONCLUSION: All of these carefully selected participants were able to perform all of the study tasks, indicating that this method is feasible for pre-teens with normal lingual structure and function. The joystick device encouraged the participants to perform tongue movements that may be part of the typical orofacial myofunctional treatment exercises for tongue function. Results indicated that this game has the potential to be highly motivating for pre-teen children who are able to perform the tasks.

Published: March 2021

No ano de 2006, foi criado o Sport – Laboratório de História do Esporte e do Lazer, vinculado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em História Comparada/UFRJ, herdeiro de outras iniciativas: o Centro de Memória da Escola de Educação Física e Desportos/UFRJ (ainda existente, sob outra coordenação) e o Espaço Virtual de História do Esporte. Pretende-se que seja um núcleo de excelência que tem como centro de sua atuação os estudos históricos dedicados às práticas corporais institucionalizadas (esporte, educação física, dança, ginástica, capoeira, entre outras). Um de seus objetivos é contribuir para a preservação da memória do esporte (documentos, fotografias, obras de arte, filmes, letras de música, obras literárias, depoimentos e todo tipo de indício que possa seu utilizado no desenvolvimento de investigações), fazendo uso de recursos eletrônicos/internet para difusão do material coletado. Memória Social do Esporte, a propósito, é uma das suas linhas de pesquisa. A despeito dessa preocupação, só mais recentemente se estruturou um projeto que se debruça especificamente sobre o tema do patrimônio esportivo. Desde então, além da continuidade dessa iniciativa, estão em curso outro projeto de pesquisa e dois de difusão. Além disso, foram publicados livros de divulgação. Este texto tem por objetivo apresentar tais ações com o intuito de dar uma colaboração ao debate sobre o patrimônio esportivo, na mesma medida em que intenta estimular interessados para integrar propostas futuras relacionadas ao assunto.

Published: March 2021

Retropharyngeal calcific tendonitis (RCT) is an aseptic inflammatory process of the superior oblique tendons of the longus colli muscle caused by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals. We reported a 23-year-old woman who presented with a sudden onset of neck pain with odynophagia after waking up from sleep. Physical examination showed paracervical point tenderness with limited neck movement in all directions. Prior to surgery, further imaging was requested to aid in diagnosis, which in turn revealed RCT. It is important to be aware that RCT presentation may mimic other severe conditions such as retropharyngeal space abscess or meningitis.

Published: March 2021

Objective: To provide relevant insight into the current degree of usage of the research potential of students of biomedical sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Method: The chosen data collection method was online surveying via Google search engine. The target group were students of biomedical sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The surveying was conducted in July 2019, and responses were subjected to descriptive statistics. Results: Although the majority of participants claimed that they were familiar with the seminar and scientific papers writing methodology and that the related course is available in their faculty’s curriculum, the quality of such courses may be questioned as the majority of study participants self-reported that they do not possess or did not posses necessary knowledge for writing and publishing a scientific paper. Also, the majority of respondents reported that they have never participated in any scientific research, which questions the involvement of students in scientific research in our country as well. More than half of respondents were actively reading scientific papers, but a third of them did not have that habit. Two-thirds of students reported that they have never attended any scientific event where they could learn more about the scientific research methods. Inadequate awareness of the importance of research, lack of students’ interest in making a research, and lack of knowledge were characterized as main obstacles in conducting scientific research according to survey responses. Conclusion: Information obtained through research indicate that the student potential in scientific research in Bosnia and Herzegovina has not been used in its maximal capacity, requiring several steps to be taken towards its improvement.
The German Government’s Policy on Islam and Its Reflections on Turks in Germany
Authors: AYDIN Yaşar , ÖKTEN SİPAHİOĞLU Buket
Published: March 2021

Turkish-origin people living in Germany have always been a subject of discussion, since there is a significant Turkish population that mostly immigrated in 1960’s with labor agreements. There are also other Muslim populations in Germany, such as African, Iranian, and Palestinian, however, Turkish Muslims living in Germany are the most populous migrant group in Germany and a popular target for anti-Muslim racism. This study focuses on German policies towards Islam and Muslims living in Germany. Before deeply analyzing the German Federal Government’s policy on Islam, there is a discussion about the kind of Islam that would be appreciated by Germany. Accordingly, an evaluation of the perception of Islam in Germany using the example Muslim Turks in Germany follows. Meanwhile, in the subsequent section, there is a discussion about the German Islam Conference and its outputs. The German Islam Conference is one of German politicians’ important projects for the integration of Muslims into Germany. In order to understand what Germany really wants to attain, either the empowerment or the assimilation of Muslims, the study focuses on discourse and aims to shed light on the current situation of the perception of Islam in Germany, as well as how Turks are affected by this discourse.

Published: March 2021

This study explores the determinants of voluntary and involuntary turnover intention of the BPO industry of Pakistan taking sample of one of leading BPO situated in Pakistan. Our study is based on two main themes; voluntary and involuntary turnover. For voluntary turnover we have explored one main category called ‘resignation’ but for involuntary turnover two main categories we have identified from the data and these are ‘termination’ and ‘separation’. Some of the determinants that we have explored for each theme are common in turnover intention literature like career advancement and bad performance but some are new like “no call no show” which means if an employee leaves the organization without any notice and didn’t appear. Over all the antecedents of turnover that we have found are Cost Cutting, Insubordination, Malpractice, Poor Performance, Violating Company Policies & Procedures, Negative behavior, no call no Show, Career Advancement, could not manage his studies & work, Grievance with the management, Medical Issues, Moving to new city, Personal Issues, Remuneration, Study Completion, Work life balance. Moreover, this study enhanced the existing theoretical framework of the Hanqin Qui et al (2014). If we see their framework, they have just showed up the turnover intention in one layer in hotel industry of the China, but in our study, we have extended it in two layers, called categories of turnover and then subcategory of each category. But at the same time this study has some limitations. Data of turnover intention is of one BPO situated in Pakistan thus we cannot generalize the result of this study at all BPO industry employees. Future research can be done taking the data more than one BPO organization and conducting interviews of employees.

Judicial organ is one of the three organs of the state of Pakistan. It plays important role in Constitutional machinery by performing its functions like interpreting laws and keeping an eye over the laws made by legislature that they are according to the injunctions of Islam or not and whether these laws are implemented properly by the executive or not. Judicial activism refers to the judicial rulings based on personal views rather than on existing law. The research is based on the questions like, is Judiciary playing effective role in Pakistan? What is the role of judiciary in Musharaf’s regime? Did judicial organ work in accordance with the Constitution of Pakistan 1973 in Musharaf’s regime? The conflict between president Musharaf and Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhry on March 9, 2007 when the Iftikhar Chaudhry refused to move under the pressure of the former to resign as Chief Justice. This led to the frontal attack by Musharaf against the judiciary on November 3, 2007 in the grab of unconstitutional emergency and PCO. In terms of judicial crisis and lawyers’ movement, the resistance offered by a large portion of the judiciary from March 9, 2007 onwards supported by the lawyers’ fraternity was a step toward change in favor of an independent judiciary in the future.

In the arena of international system, every state tries to maximize its own power for its self-survival. States are enhancing their power to increase their hegemony. That is why India and United States have led to a strategic partnership due to mutual interests in global politics such as promoting democracy and fighting terrorism. After that, they extend their collaboration across the economy, technology and atomic energy. In the South Asian security environment, the United States of America (USA) and India have a strong bond of strategic partnership due to the power struggle between the regional powers. India and USA started nuclear deal on 2005 which was completed on 2006. Behind this deal, both states increase their influence in this region. India seeks lasting partnerships with USA to achieve its strategic ambitions. The partnership of nuclear agreement between the USA and India will gain long-term national interests. This research highlights complex present-day demonstration of demonic incidence which emerged after this relationship and its implications on Pakistan.
THE IMPACT OF PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY ON HUMAN RIGHTS
Authors:   Judicial Clerk at Supreme Court, Kanwal Shagufta
Published: March 2021

Pharmaceutical industry and human rights are opposing each other and having conflict at each point relating to access to essential medicine in developing countries. At this point of research some focal points of discord and contestation from the both sectors are tried to explain. The views from pharmaceutical industry can be explained in the form of official’s submission during negotiation surrounding the Doha Declaration and the decision that were taken after the Doha Declaration. The industry’s views can also be supported by the others who paid their vital role to support the pharmaceutical industries by their writings and morally as well. The main argument given from the pharmaceutical industry was stating that patent is not creating any kind of obstacle creating any obstacle to access essential medicine in developing countries. Actually, they try to state that there were health care issues to the citizens of the developing nations before the IP protection is given to the pharmaceutical industries. So, it can be said that the progress in the field of pharmaceutical industry in the developing countries have nothing to do with IP system and the innovation in the pharmacy cannot be achieved by undermining the IP. Most of the problems in the health sector in not related to the patent system in developing countries.
SCOPE OF THE APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (IHL) IN SITUATIONS OF NON-INTERNATIONAL ARMED CONFLICTS: EXTENDED APPLICABILITY OF COMMON ARTICLE.3
Authors:   Assistant Professor University Gillani Law College Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Bakhsh Dr. Faiz
Published: March 2021

The applicability of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in non-international conflicts is a complex phenomenon due to the undefined and unannounced nature of non-international armed conflicts. International Humanitarian Law extends its applicability to the armed conflicts of non-international nature between state and non-state armed groups or between non-state armed groups. Common article.3 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and 1977 Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions, provide criteria for the applicability of IHL However, the states are often seen reluctant to accept international legal oversight into their internal matters and this phenomenon of violence often need to be identified and defined. This paper investigates the scope of the application of International Humanitarian Law in situations of non-international armed conflicts, mainly focussing on the extended applicability of common article.3 to the Geneva Conventions 1949, in situation of non-international armed conflicts. Various types and nature of armed conflicts, the applicability of International Humanitarian Law to non-international conflicts are discussed with special reference to the scope and applicability of Common Article.3 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Moreover, the binding force and territorial scope of common article.3 are discussed in a broader context as to assess the applicability of International Humanitarian Law on the changing nature of the non-international armed conflicts.

In the instant study, we focus to point out Islamic perspective in relation to international human rights laws pertaining to death penalty in the context of Pakistan. We have discussed the perspective certain jurists who claim qisas is an alternative prayer, and it can be abolished. However, the study maintains that Islamic injunctions support, and recommend for capital punishment for certain offences, while diyatis an alternative penalty. Further, we have deliberated death penalty in the light of human rights conventions with special focus on Article 6 of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), 1966. The debate also surrounds abolitionists or retentionists views with special reference to Pakistan. It concludes that immediate abolishment of death penalty may not be possible in Pakistan. Nevertheless, as a first step, it needs to re-interpret the phrase “most serious crimes” envisaged under Article 6 of ICCPR in its true letter and spirit, or to exercise de facto abolishment of it until its crippled criminal justice system ensures international fair trial standards. As internal peace and security situation improves in Pakistan, so it may enforce de-jure halt.

Published: March 2021

Pakistan and China enjoy the bilateral and friendly diplomatic relations since 1951. Both countries are trustworthy allies of one another. China has always backed Pakistan in the difficult matters to stabilize the geo-political and geo-economic situation in the region. Although, Pakistan also enjoys good diplomatic relations with America but down the line these relations and ties weakened due to increasing mistrust and unreliability between both the countries. Pakistan had various occasions has been ally of the United States (US) such as War against USSR in Afghanistan. But after the war the US has put sanctions on Pakistan and tensions between both countries arose. On the other hand, China has always supported Pakistan stance even in the wars against India. These relations took a new turn with the Chinese project of Belt Road Initiative (BRI) generally and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) from 2013 onwards. This huge transformation of Pak-China dealings seen the two-sided connections long-drawn-out from military to the economic domain. The collaboration under CPEC, with increased investment of China in building Pakistan’s power and infrastructure segments. The deepening relations of China and Pakistan and Pakistan’s decreasing dependency on the US has grabbed attention of the USA. America has moved its all energies to East Asia from the European and Arab countries. Therefore, the aim of current study is to look headlong from this viewpoint and pursue to sightsee and explore the expansions that took place in two-sided associations outside CPEC keeping the US stance on this collaboration and its significance.

Teacher’s and learner’s roles in autonomy-oriented foreign language teaching: a theoretical investigation
Authors: Tran Dung Nguyen Tri
Published: March 2021

The global language teaching community has largely spotlighted students’ autonomous learning for the last few decades. Through the thorough review of the existing literature on learner autonomy, this article aims to theoretically investigate this concept as well as clearly specify the roles played by teachers and students in an autonomy-oriented classroom. Autonomous learning is not at all synonymous with the absolute elimination of teacher’s role and learner-learner relationships. In fact, language instructors need to comprehend their roles in a multidimensional way, and students are supposed to be responsibly active for their own learning process as well as positively interdependent for academic cooperation.

Some of them even use the class meetings for other purposes. In this study, on the basis of studying the theory of factors affecting students’ learning motivation, the author conducts a survey to assess the current level of interest in learning Marxist-Leninist philosophy of HUST students, analyzes causes, thereby proposes some solutions to develop the learning interest in this subject to achieve the goal of the course in a sustainable way.
DIGITAL ECONOMY. THE CONVERSION OF THE TRADITIONAL ECONOMY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ICT INNOVATIONS
Authors:   Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, Ungureanu Alexandra
Published: March 2021

The ability of the global economy to compete and evolve in the 21st century increasingly depends on the innovative and efficient use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Over the last decade, digitalization has improved decision-making in the global business ecosystem in a variety of contexts, and recent advances in technology transformed the business models in a way that reshapes the economic actor’s interaction with business activities. The emergent conversion of the traditional economy is changing as automation tools, process standardization, and reuse of goods along with cloud computing technology shape the global economy towards digitalization, arising the concern to ensure the development of ICT proficiency in all sectors of the economy in order to create economic balance, avoiding a potential crisis based on the innovation deficit. The speed of digital transformation in the business environment will directly affect the models of economic growth and social development in the future. The present technological revolution is a valid indicator of the civilization progress of the 21st century and the digital transformation requires an improved association of organizational e-leadership skills, innovation, and business development based on business intelligence concepts. Therefore, the reduction of e-leadership skills can be a competitive disadvantage for the industry and a constraint on potential growth. From these considerations, the aim of the paper is to examine the diffusion of business intelligence elements in the global economy, providing examples of business models that have emerged as a result of digitalization improvement, and contributes to an overview of the main features of the digital economy that have emerged in these business models. Using a methodology based on the systematic review of the literature and global analysis regarding the topic, the paper presents a framework of the role that digitalization performs in the global economy transition from analog to digital configuration.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORRUPTION, SHADOW ECONOMY AND HAPPINESS. SURVEY ON ROMANIA
Authors:   Babeş-Bolyai University, Achim Monica Violeta
Published: March 2021

In this paper we address the relationship between happiness and acts of corruption and shadow economy in Romania. From our survey conducted on a sample of 101 respondents from Romania (on March 2020), we find that Romanian people do not link happiness to material issues in particular, but rather they see it as a consequence of having families, professional and spiritual fulfillment, while money and property are last in this ranking. The average income that would make the respondents happy is on average of 5,223 lei (about 1,100 Euro) per month, an amount that they consider necessary to cover the basic needs that influence their development. Our findings reveal that the most corruption practices encountered in the public institutions refer to receiving money and gifts for services to which people are entitled followed by receiving money and gifts to favor someone. However, corruption and shadow economy are not perceived as being very relevant in fully influencing the level of happiness they perceive.
THE ROLE OF CITIZENS IN THE ACTIVITY OF LAND PLANNING AND URBANISM
Authors:   Technical University of Moldova, Fiodorov Natalia , Braguța Eugeniu ,   Technical University of Moldova
Published: March 2021

Urbanization is strictly related to the participation of the population in the arrangement of the territory. The relationship between local authorities and the citizens serves as an index that determines the performance of the community in solving existing problems and is the main competence in assessing local competence. Participation of the population in the activity of spatial planning and urbanism is achieved through different methods, one of which would be the community spirit. Creating a community spirit is possible only in an atmosphere of mutual trust and commitment. The problem consists in the degree to which the participation of the citizens must be admitted for the formation of the development plans of the localities.

Nos proponemos reflexionar sobre algunos aspectos metodológicos vinculados a la “equivocación controlada” (según Viveiros de Castro 2004) y su potencial para pensar el quehacer antropológico desde nuestra experiencia en la Comunidad Aborigen de Huachichocana (Jujuy, Argentina). Discutiremos la producción de un libro que escribimos y editamos junto con la comunidad, explicitando los equívocos implicados en su realización. Creemos que estos equívocos no se reducen sólo a las diferencias entre saberes locales y académicos, sino que siempre evocan a las formas en que estos cobran existencia: las ‘formas del saber’, entendidas como modos relacionales específicos que no se limitan a inventarios acerca de las cosas conocidas sino a los agenciamientos que permiten conocerlas. Esto no sólo es importante a la hora de pensar sobre (y con) los saberes en los cuales estamos interesados, sino también al momento de responder a las demandas por los nuestros.
Reflexiones dislocadas
Authors: Lopes Gabriel Rodrigues , Tola Florencia
Published: March 2021

Neste artigo propomo-nos refletir sobre as implicações da “antropologia reversa” (Wagner 1975, Kirsch 2006) ou “contra-antropologia” (Viveiros de Castro 2009). Para isso, retomamos os escritos de um líder político toba (qom) do Chaco argentino, Timoteo Francia, apresentados no livro Reflexiones dislocadas. Pensamientos políticos y filosóficos qom (2011). Seus escritos são uma crítica aos excessos dos brancos, a sua cobiça desmesurada e às ânsias de progresso indiscriminado. Em seus textos, Timoteo posiciona-se no terreno da equivocação (sensu Viveiros de Castro) e desloca os sentidos de conceitos ocidentais tais como liberdade e selvagem. Este ensaio pretende vincular a contra-antropologia de Timoteo Francia com certos debates atuais na antropologia, tais como: a noção de pessoa feita de relações, a alteridade, a perspectiva, a hierarquia, a cosmopolítica, entre outros.
Mito e Tecnologia

Published: March 2021

Este texto é uma reflexão teórica em torno das implicações míticas e xamânicas, para os ameríndios mas também para os “brancos” com quem eles se relacionam, das tecnologias modernas associadas ao "homem branco". Ele é baseado em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e videográfica sobre o tema, abrangendo a questão do contato com o branco em diversos grupos indígenas da América do Sul. São desenvolvidas no texto as idéias etnograficamente fundamentadas de um retorno do tempo mítico pelo encontro histórico entre índios e brancos, e de um xamanismo tecnologicamente distribuído nas máquinas modernas. Partindo do desencontro entre brancos e índios, resultante de seu encontro histórico, o texto chega em uma possibilidade de reencontro na chave de um duplo devir.

L’entretien comme Methode de Recherche avec les Personnes Sans Abri
Authors: Malfitano Ana Paula Serrata
Published: March 2021

Dans cet article, il s’agit de deux enquête de terrain, menées l’une en France et l’autre au Brésil, auprès de personnes en situation de rue. Etant à la fois acteurs du terrain et chercheurs, les auteurs utilisent comme méthode l’observation participante, la participation observante et les entretiens approfondis auprès des autres acteurs en présence. La réflexion ici présentée porte sur l’utilisation d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de cette population, dans le but d’appréhender leur point de vue sur les services dont elles sont les usagers. A partir de l’analyse du refus de l’entretien par la personne, de son acceptation ou de situations intermédiaires, il en sort que l’entretien est une méthode effective d’approcher cette population. La discussion porte également sur le contenu des entretiens, le contexte dans lequel ils ont été menés (y compris l’effet de l’enquêteur-acteur), ainsi que les négociations implicites et explicites entre enquêteur et enquêté au cours du processus.
Kendo: devir samuraico, mitológicas e ritológicas nipônicas.
Authors: Lourenção Gil Vicente
Published: March 2021

O plano deste artigo é relacionar alguns fatos etnográficos levantados junto a praticantes de esgrima japonesa [Kendo] – entre eles japoneses descendentes e não descendentes – através das relações ativadas nos espaços de treinamento, chamados de dojo, nos quais operam os conceitos de hierarquia e família e traçar uma provável analogia com a noção de Casa, tomada em referência à teoria antropológica. A utilização do salão de treino como unidade de análise é importante e se oferece como conseqüência de meu trabalho de mestrado, pois é nele que se atualiza o dispositivo de japonesidade, ou seja, o mecanismo de produção de japoneses e de discursos ‘mito-ríticos,’ re-elaborados a partir de uma dimensão corpórea objetiva e subjetiva.
Consciência, miração e cura na Barquinha
Authors: Mercante Marcelo S.
Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta o universo cultural e simbólico da Barquinha, religião ayahuasqueira brasileira localizada em Rio Branco (Acre), que realiza, entre outros tipos de rituais, trabalhos de “cura.” O foco central da investigação é o papel das visões obtidas pelo uso ritual da Ayahuasca em processos de conscientização em situações de enfermidades. Tais visões são conhecidas pelos freqüentadores da Barquinha como “mirações.” As mirações tornariam conscientes muitas das dimensões extra-materiais do ritual, além de auxiliarem nos processo de transformação subjetiva e física dos participantes.
O rádio na interlocução com os valores dos trabalhadores:
Authors: Guedes Simoni Lahud
Published: March 2021

No contexto de uma série de investigações acerca das formas de retenção e transmissão da experiência entre trabalhadores urbanos do Grande Rio, são analisados, neste artigo, alguns dos casos apresentados em um programa radiofônico de grande audiência: o “Show do Pedro Augusto,” que vai ao ar diariamente na Rádio Tupi do Rio de Janeiro. Estes casos que, no ano de 1997, quando foram coletados, abriam o programa, são narrados e dramatizados pelo próprio radialista. São, sempre, selecionados da crônica policial recente da cidade, envolvendo, todos, elementos de grande dramaticidade, resultando, em geral, em morte. Mas contém cada um deles, a par de sua aparente especificidade, a reafirmação de um conjunto de valores de referência dos trabalhadores. Através destes casos será possível demonstrar a constante reafirmação dos valores associados à família, ao desempenho “correto” dos papéisfamiliares centrados numa ótica hierárquica de gênero, e, mais ainda, a reafirmação do valor do trabalho como forma de sobrevivência. O estímulo à crença no valor do trabalho é, provavelmente, o eixo de significação central dos diversos casos.
Notas comprometidas sobre a discussão dos efeitos sociais de grandes projetos hidrelétricos, antropologia e a atualidade da temática
Authors: Daou Ana Maria
Published: March 2021

A discussão sobre a construção de grandes barragens e seus efeitos sociais, ou como aparece com mais frequência, seus “impactos,” é de enorme atualidade, seja nos debates públicos, seja nos fóruns acadêmicos. O tema ganha relevância em contextos em que os investimentos materiais e simbólicos desenvolvimentistas ganham maior visibilidade. Qual a contribuição da análise antropológica para a reflexão sobre os problemas suscitados pelos projetos de geração de energia elétrica advindos da fonte hídrica, modalidade de produção de energia que se mantém hegemônica no Brasil? Como pensar as questões indicadas pela literatura como “impactos,” “impactos ambientais,” “impactos sociais” causados por grandes obras, como as barragens, de uma perspectiva que considere a diversidade dos pontos de vista e identifique valores diferenciados entre os agentes sociais submetidos a tais processos?
Le problème de l’existence
Authors: Janvier Antoine
Published: March 2021

Cet article propose d’éclairer les enjeux épistémologiques et éthiques de la conception tragique de l’existence exposée par Deleuze dans le premier chapitre de Nietzsche et la philosophie – celle qui pose le problème de la justice et celui de l’existence – par le détour d’un texte de Nietzsche essentiel à cet égard, La philosophie à l’époque tragique des Grecs. Deleuze se réfère à de nombreuses reprises à ce texte mineur, posthume et inachevé, initialement destiné à former le pendant de La naissance de la tragédie. On peut légitimement se demander si « l’évolution de Nietzsche » ne se situe pas dans ce deuxième volet d’un dyptique finalement inexistant. Ce qui est sûr, c’est que La philosophie à l’époque tragique des Grecs offre à Deleuze des éléments essentiels pour sa reconstruction du système nietzschéen, sur trois axes essentiels que l’insistance habituelle sur la théorie des forces et de la volonté de puissance a parfois tendance à oublier : la réalisation d’une philosophie critique des valeurs ; la position du problème de l’existence ; la problématisation de la philosophie elle-même.
Missionary Talk
Authors: Almeida Rafael Antunes
Published: March 2021

Datam do século XIX os primeiros relatos acerca de grupos para os quais a cópula não estava associada à reprodução. Numerosos autores se debruçaram sobre este problema, tanto dispostos a sustentar esta afirmação, quanto proferindo críticas ao tratamento de statements nativos como “afirmações sobre o mundo”. O debate segue este tom até o início da década de 80, quando Carol Delaney promove uma inversão radical nas linhas correntes de argumentação: em última análise o problema do nascimento virgem não diria respeito à ignorância dos nativos quanto à paternidade fisiológica, mas a uma ignorância dos antropólogos diante do próprio problema da paternidade. Delaney abre o caminho para uma série de outros trabalhos interessados em pensar a questão do nascimento virgem, desta vez associados à polêmica pública britânica da síndrome do nascimento virgem. O  objetivo deste artigo é compor uma revisão teórica dos referidos debates, menos interessada nos meandros da polêmica e mais  dirigida às suas torções, subprodutos e inflexões. Conclui-se com a constatação de que a ignorância antropológica envolta no  problema do nascimento virgem resulta de uma adiantada suposição da universalidade da causalidade biológica para ontologias  outras e da não atenção para o fato segundo o qual a maneira como os animais diferem dos humanos no ocidente é diferente daquela que os mesmos diferem dos humanos em outras cosmologias.
“convívio” em uma “cadeia dimenor”
Authors: Neri Natasha Elbas
Published: March 2021

Este artigo analisa as relações entre os jovens em conflito com a lei internados em duas unidades do Departamento Geral de Ações Socioeducativas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, abordando-se as rivalidades, a distribuição de prestígio e a existência de estigmas e rótulos entre os internos. A partir de observação participante e entrevistas, foi possível analisar como os adolescentes se veem e seclassificam. Observou-se que, ao  mesmo tempo em que os jovens nutrem um ideal de igualdade de direitos do “coletivo” de internos, há a presença de rivalidades e de uma série de classificações que incidem sobre os internos e seus comportamentos, concedendo prestígio ou “moral” a alguns, e estigmatizando outros, que são alvo de “zoação”, “esculacho” e de espancamentos. Assim sendo, serão expostas as categorias utilizados pelos adolescentes para demarcar essas diferenças entre seus pares e a maneira como essas relações influenciam o cotidiano das unidades.
Good Life vs. the Frontlines

Published: March 2021

This paper seeks to offer some new ideas about the kind of strategies that contribute to productive coalitions between activists and scholars. Potential divisions between activists and scholars became evident in an e-mail discussion that happened in the web group of the Brazilian National LGBT Association (ABGLT) about the Brazilian Human Rights Award.
