Serious violations of human rights occurred in Indonesia despite Indonesia’s ratification of a number of international human rights law instruments. Victims, including their family and descendants, experiences suffering and loss. Still, there are many victims who haven’t received their rights until now. International law holds states accountable for the victims’ dignity as human beings. This research will examine the fulfillment of the rights of the victims in order to obtain effective and fair remedy and to analyze the application of international human rights law in Indonesia in order to fulfill the rights of the victims of serious violations of human rights. This research was conducted using a sociological juridical approach that collects and analyzes qualitative data. The result shows that the right to truth, the right to justice, the right to reparation and the guarantee of non-repetition are the forms of rights within the framework of transitional justice that must be given to the victims. These rights are interrelated, so they must be fulfilled thoroughly. Indonesia made real efforts to fulfill the rights by establishing a human rights court to resolve the cases of  Timor-Timur (East Timor), Tanjung Priok and Abepura. Another effort is made by establishing legal regulations. In fact, Indonesia only recognizes and regulates some rights. The existing legal regulations have not yet encouraged effective implementation, making them difficult to implement. It is necessary to evaluate and re-conceptualize existing legal regulations so that the rights of victims are fully recognized and easy to apply.

Este artículo analiza cuatro casos que fueron noticia: las condiciones de los asentamientos irregulares en Andalucía; la situación de las temporeras marroquíes contratadas en origen que quedaron atrapadas en Huelva; las duras condiciones laborales del campo a la luz de la muerte de un solicitante de asilo en Lorca; y la presencia de temporeros en las calles de Lleida, que generó nuevamente un debate sobre sus condiciones de alojamiento en medio de los primeros brotes de COVID-19 del verano. El objetivo final del artículo es ilustrar con casos concretos problemas estructurales que vienen de lejos y, con ello, apuntar posibles soluciones a corto, medio y largo plazo.
Harm reduction programs for addiction treatment
Authors: Łoza Bartosz
Published: February 2021

The limited effectiveness of anti-addiction pharmacotherapy encourages the introduction of so called harm reduction programs. They allow you to significantly reduce the health, social and economic damages of addicts and their families. The simplest form of harm reduction is the substitution therapy. You can use the same psychoactive substance (e.g. nicotine in patches) or give a different one (e.g. methadone vs morphine). Harm reduction programs are typically criticized for allegedly extending the addiction period. However, the experience of many countries shows that they are effectively contributing to recovery from addiction. Considering the fact that smoking is the main modifiable cause of diseases, and at the same time that there are no sufficiently effective methods of treating this addiction, the use of harm reduction programs – based on the so-called novel tobacco products – seems to be the most appropriate choice. Precedent registrations of subsequent Modified Risk Tobacco Products in the US create conditions to pragmatically replace tobacco products in which smoking occurs – other, smokeless, and at the same time less harmful.
von Münch, Ingo. «Die Krise der Medien»
Authors: van der Heyden Ulrich
Published: February 2021

Seit einigen Jahren haben die aus den USA in den hiesigen Medien immer weitere Verbreitung findenden Prinzipien (wenn es denn solche sind!) der Political Correctness fast vollständig die sozialen Medien erreicht und greifen seit einiger Zeit auch in der Wissenschaft um sich. Laut Duden ist darunter «die von einer bestimmten Öffentlichkeit als richtig angesehene Gesinnung» zu verstehen. Selbsternannte Hüter (nach der Political Correctness richtig: und Hüterinnen) wachen über ihre favorisierte, vorgeblich richtige Gesinnung und die dabei verwendete Sprache.So gut wie alle Bereiche des gesellschaftlichen Lebens seien, so die von dem Verfasser hier vielfach belegte, jedoch sicherlich auch Widerspruch hervorrufende Meinung, inzwischen innerhalb weniger Jahre unter die Herrschaft einer «Denk- und Sprachpolizei» geraten, wie von Münch solche Wächter nennt. Die sei gefährlich, denn die Sprache schafft und prägt Bewusstsein aus und wird irgendwann zur Selbstverständlichkeit, auch wenn ein Grossteil der Lesenden bzw. anderer medialer Konsumenten dies nicht versteht oder gar ablehnt. Allein die «Medien-Leute» bestimmen den Sprachgebrauch und so werden die Political-Correctness-Hüter zur Selbstverständlichkeit, die auf Ausgrenzung basiert. Mit so einem oder mit ähnlichem Verve vorgetragenen Eingriff in die Publikationspraxis mit den entsprechenden Folgen für die «Gemassregelten» hätten bislang nur die in autokratischen Regimen sozialisierten Vertreter der Medienbranche und der Wissenschaft Bekanntschaft gemacht.

Published: February 2021

Agricultural marketing plays a vital role in economic development and livelihood of people in developing countries. Marketing of agricultural products which provide income to most farmers and marketers in Nigeria has been characterised with a lot of deficiencies which have constrained sustainable development and economic growth. This study, therefore, analysed carrot and cucumber marketing including constraints to their effective marketing in Enugu State, Nigeria. Data collected, primarily, were analysed using descriptive statistics, marketing margin and Likert type rating technique. The result shows that vegetable marketing was dominated by females (65%) who were still in their economically active age and did not belong to a cooperative society. Half of them perform a retail marketing function, 30% perform both retail and wholesale functions while 20% perform wholesale function. Vegetable marketing contributed to marketers‘ income by providing N25,667.7 (USD 66.93) per month on average. The marketing margins were 26.30% and 20.18% for cucumber and carrot, respectively. The high cost of shop rent, high transportation cost, low capital, price fluctuation, poor credit facilities and a low supply of vegetables due to seasonal variation were the major constraints faced by vegetable marketers. Vegetable marketers, therefore, need support by providing affordable credit facilities and building of modern market stalls by the government. This would give them a conducive and hygienic environment. Also, vegetable marketers should form a cooperative society where they can pool resources and get financial assistance. This would lead to efficient marketing of the product.

Problems and use of cyanobacteria for environmental improvement – A Review
Authors: Kusumawati Diana Indah , Mangkoedihardjo Sarwoko
Published: February 2021

Cyanobacteria were considered harmful to other living organisms, due to their microcystin content. In addition, uncontrolled populations of cyanobacteria, also known as algal blooms, occur both naturally and as a result of human activity, leading to the development of more complex problems. These microorganisms are currently receiving a lot of attention, as several investigations have considered successful applications of reducing exposure to nature, causing reduced risks to ecosystems, and providing benefits to human life. This study aims to provide answers to current problems, by providing a different perspective on cyanobacteria. Furthermore, it is for the benefits of cyanobacteria for the environment in accordance with the recommendations in some of the literature on previous research results.

This article studies the reception of Agustín Espinosa’s work after the 1974 reissue of Lancelot, 28°-7° (1929), Media hora jugando a los dados (1933) and Crimen (1934). The most important contributions and the critical perspectives adopted are shown. The peculiar adoption by Espinosa of cubist and surrealist aesthetics and positions is also dealt with. The basic perspective of this work is Henri Bergson’s conception of durée, also readapted by scholars such as Vladimir Jankélévitch and, especially, by Georges Sebbag in the field of surrealism and philosophy. For Espinosa, analogy, duration and memory constitute a way of interpreting the culture of the past and the present. Agustín Espinosa’s durée from 1974 to the present has to do with his choices and with what was inscribed in his words as continuity of a work and a position before culture. The “Bergsonian opening” of his reception shows the incidence of his choices during the last decades of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21th century
Repensando a Espinosa: su papel en los debates sobre la reivindicación estética del cubismo y la producción plástica de Picasso en el contexto cultural canario (1920-1930)
Authors:   CSIC (España), Martínez López Beatriz
Published: February 2021

This study aims to reflect on the role Agustín Espinosa played in the vindication of both Cubism and the figure of Pablo Ruiz Picasso during the first third of the Spanish 20th century. To this end, it starts from a philological and historiographical analysis of Tenerife Gaceta de Arte, vehicle of dissemination of the artistic and cultural renewal in Spain. In this sense, the Picassian discourse of the Tenerife magazine is based on the Parisian surrealist group, headed by André Breton, as well as on a series of literary precedents present in the Canary Islands in the 1920s. When deepening into Espinosa’s work, it is possible to formulate new relational approaches between the literary images of the Canary poet and the Cubist dynamics, together with the defence of the movement.
El paisaje insular en la vanguardia: la creación del mito atlántico
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (España), Rosa Serafín Vanessa
Published: February 2021

This work focuses on the change of paradigm that the Canarian avant-garde involved, led by the generation of the magazine Rosa de los Vientos, in relation to the representation of the landscapes. On the visual arts, the artists from the «Escuela Luján Pérez» began this new modernity. We situate ourselves during the last years of the twenties and the first half of the thirties, one of the most flourishing cultural times in the Canary Islands. The island landscape is observed with new eyes, what involves the creation of a new regionalism that puts aside the northern landscape and focuses the attention on the dryness and lack of colour of the south of the island, which reaches the spiritual dimension through the geometrical elements like the “cardon” or “pitera”. This is, in brief, an essential landscape, as it is expressed by Pedro García Cabrera in El hombre en función del paisaje.
“Só um buraco perdido no oco do mundo,” The Affective Subjects of the Wasteland in Narradores de Javé (2003)
Authors: Argueta Arno J
Published: February 2021

Although 1990s Brazilian cinema revisits the sertão to find Brazilian identity, by the 2000’s some films begin challenging that narrative. As the state and its narratives move to the city, the sertão begins to be represented as a wasteland. This paper examines one such film, Narradores de Javé (The Storytellers; Caffé, 2003). Previously studied for its use of narration to countering the discourses of modernity, I propose that the film also constructs the wasteland as a social space by enacting affectivity to build a sense of communal narrative. First, I engage with Zygmunt Bauman’s Wasted Lives (2004) to explore how the state denies its inhabitants citizenship as subjectification. Second, in response to this disavowal, the villagers mobilize what Kathleen Stewart calls Ordinary Affects (2007) to subjectify by creating a social space through the communal sharing of stories that wasted objects allow them to recall.
Family (Novel), Death, and Polyphony in Lúcio Cardoso, Crônica da Casa Assassinada
Authors: Welge Jobst
Published: February 2021

Taking its cue from the anthropological conjunction of "house" and "death," the article contextualizes Lúcio Cardoso's novel Crônica da Casa Assassinada (1959) within the literary tradition of the Brazilian "Big House novel" as well as the modern family saga generally, thus highlighting both its culturally specific and its potentially universal dimension. The dinstictive formal character of the novel is analyzed with regard to its emphasis on psychological representation and its polyphonic, kaleidoscopic fragmentation of epic totality. Furthermore, the novel is also linked to the tradition of the (American) Gothic, from which Cardoso adapts the notion of the unstabe boundary between life and death, of haunting as the survival of the past, or of specters as hinges between different temporalities. The recurring tropes of death and decadence are not objectively distanced, but the novel paradoxically affirms the notion of decadence against the normative expectations of both the traditional past and of modernity.
Narratives and Memories for Resilience: Exploring the Missing Link between Engagement and Water Governance in Brazil and the United Kingdom
Authors: Rothberg Danilo , Garde-Hansen Joanne
Published: February 2021

From an interdisciplinary, communication and trans-cultural perspective, participation in water governance should include non-political activities and engagement. In Brazil, it is mandatory for decision-making bodies to include society’s active participation, a democratic principle that speaks to a concept of ‘hydro-citizenship’ that is currently being explored in the UK, wherein top-down water governance is giving way to community-led adaptation planning. The opportunities for social and cultural learning have been explored in our UK and Brazil collaborative research. We offer relevant insights about the value of story, narrative and memories as emerging components of resilience beyond collective, community or national political containers. We argue that a missing link in the literature is the one between narratives, social memory and environmental resilience as a personally shared culture water. These insights have the potential to address participation and governance gaps through recourse to a trans-cultural understanding of socially networked communication about water management.
Serendipitous Encounters with Texts: Errantry and Decentralization in Ana Maria Gonçalves’s Um Defeito de Cor (2006)
Authors: De Souza Sutter Luana
Published: February 2021

Since the turn of the century, several Afro-Brazilian writers have taken to engage critically with Brazil’s colonial past and the absence of Afro-Brazilian voices in historical and literary discourses. Ana Maria Gonçalves’s 2006 published novel Um Defeito de Cor is a paradigmatic example of this emerging corpus as it recuperates the history of the Malê Revolt in Salvador (1835) and envisions the life of its leading figure, Luísa Mahin. This article looks into the representation of hegemonic spaces of centre and periphery in Um Defeito de Cor and the intertextual relations drawn in the narrative through the lens of the Afro-Caribbean philosopher and writer Édouard Glissant’s Poetics of Relation. It argues that Um Defeito de Cor builds on the motif of serendipity to carry out a narrative of errantry and decentralization and disclose concealed Afro-Brazilian discourses in intertextual relations.
Rosana Paulino and the Art of Refazimento: Reconfigurations of the Black Female Body in the Land of Racial Democracy
Authors: Santos de Araújo Flavia
Published: February 2021

This essay analyzes the historical and aesthetic significance of the visual art project Assentamento(s) (2012-2013) by Rosana Paulino. Her work re- inscribes the black female body into the historical narrative of Brazil, complicating long-established notions of “Brazilianness”. By using art techniques and materials that combine lithography, digital printing, drawing, sewing, video, and sculpting, Paulino develops a multi-layered artistic assembly that she describes as a process of refazimento (“remaking”). Paulino pushes the boundaries of the historical archives, highlighting both the struggles and agency of black women within Brazilian society. I argue that, as a contemporary black woman visual artist, Paulino engages in a method of historical interpretation that Saidiya Hartman defines as “critical fabulation”. My study explores how Paulino’s refazimento represents a method of inquiry that confronts the legacies of Brazil’s racial democracy and its ideology of mestiçagem. Paulino’s visuality reclaims Afro-Brazilian ancestral memory and black female complex subjectivities.
A dimensão cultural na política africana do Brasil (1960 – 2010)
Authors: Matos Pedro Andrade
Published: February 2021

Este artigo discute a dimensão cultural africana na política externa brasileira, a partir da década de 1960, quando são estabelecidas formalmente as relações políticas com os países africanos independentes. No tema da política externa, foi adotado o termo genérico “política africana do Brasil” para oficializar essas relações políticas, econômicas e culturais com o continente. O artigo investiga como governos brasileiros mobilizaram a ideia de partilha de laços histórico-culturais com a África para se relacionarem com os países do continente na formulação da política externa. Essa política externa africana se encontra enraizada em um discurso culturalista baseada no compartilhamento de um passado histórico e cultural e de um intenso intercâmbio comercial. Contudo, ao longo desse período a política africana do Brasil se caracteriza por certas incongruências da ideia de partilha cultural e da sua valorização no âmbito brasileiro.

A ECONOMIA SOCIAL SOLIDÁRIA E RED COMPARTE NA AMÉRICA LATINA EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA
Authors: Idárraga Alvaro , Cunha Joaci De S.
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo discute a economia social solidária na América Latina a partir da experiência e dos princípios da Rede COMPARTE, abordando as iniciativas desse setor da economia popular frente à conjuntura da pandemia de Covid-19. Inicialmente, parte de uma leitura da crise sanitária inserida num contexto maior de crise estrutural de reprodução das relações e da acumulação capitalista, como pressuposto das políticas públicas adotadas por alguns governos do continente, a exemplo do Brasil, Argentina e Colômbia, frente às urgências sociais da pandemia. As iniciativas dos segmentos solidários são vistas como caminhos alternativos de ação social e de reorganização produtiva dos setores populares diante da incapacidade do capital, em crise, para incorporar amplos setores da população latino-americana à produção de bens, serviços e cuidados sociais. Assim, ações autônomas em espaços de elevados níveis de desigualdade e de desconexão com os governos podem ter evitado um número ainda maior de adoecimento e mortes.  Nessa direção, as iniciativas solidárias abordadas aportam sinais de recuperação dos valores, modos de produzir e relações sociais, em geral, muito distintos daqueles produzidos pela dinâmica de mercado. Contribuem, portanto, para a reorganização da vida comunitária em outros moldes, rompendo com a subjetividade baseada em valores ético-morais egoísticos. Por essa trilha, a experiência da Rede COMPARTE reflete múltiplas expressões de economias alternativas, em vários níveis de progresso e crescimento, que podem convergir para um movimento social que transforme, mas, sobretudo, multiplique o princípio do cuidado com a vida e quiçá rompa com a lógica capitalista e sua natureza especulativo-financeira.
