REFLEXÕES SOBRE O EXERCÍCIO DEMOCRÁTICO: UMA ANÁLISE TEÓRICO-CRÍTICA DOS LIMITES DO DIREITO E DA CONJUNTURA JURÍDICO-POLÍTICA ATUAL
Authors: Carneiro Leão Daniel , Allain Teixeira João Paulo , Bragato Fernanda Frizzo
Published: July 2018

Este artigo versa sobre as possibilidades e os limites do exercício democrático em meio à conjuntura político-jurídica atual. Tal cenário, segundo a hipótese em questão, compreende a ordem internacional, a universalização dos direitos humanos, as racionalidades da ideologia neoliberal, o paradigma moderno-ocidental, dentre outros elementos que devem ser considerados quando da análise dos padrões discriminatórios, excludentes e opressivos das relações sócias da atualidade. Diante disso, a temática da democracia é investigada sob o viés de uma teoria crítica do direito em atenção aos contornos políticos e as relações de poder. Sobretudo, é feita análise do problema da captura de modos de pensar e de viver pelas democracias liberais e pelo direito internacional dos direitos humanos, assim como do aparelhamento das possibilidades de resistência pelo poder instituído. Nesse ínterim, questiona-se a necessidade de ultrapassar as institucionalidades do direito constitucional e da ordem internacional, inclusive de seus mecanismos tidos por democráticos, pois não só deixam de alcançar a promessa libertária de seu discurso, mas, muitas vezes, legitimam as manifestações de violência e desigualdades sociais e econômicas. Portanto, almeja-se contribuir com reflexões críticas sobre as possibilidades de ultrapassar o engessamento institucional e de potencializar a vontade das ruas nos recentes protestos.
Thatched Roof, No Walls

What are the consequences when teachers carry our minds to one place (to work, the classroom, our desks), our bodies to another (to the gym, yoga studio, our couch), our spirits to another (to church, synagogue, mosque, mountains), our psychic healing to another (to the couch, the bed, vacations), and our activism to another (to prisons, borders, the streets)? Students sense and feel these splits. They are trying to learn amid these splits. A pedagogy of tenderness—embodied techniques of teaching that allow us to hold in our minds more complexity, paradox, and community than previously thought possible—requires new bridge work where contemplative practitioners, activists, trauma specialists, and feminist teachers listen to each other. Such bridge building is essential as we create ways of teaching that move us beyond individualism, consumerism, and militarism.
The Goddess Plugged In
Authors: Fiol Stefan
Published: July 2018

Jagar rituals have long been stigmatized as a type of folk religion because they involve animal sacrifice, corporeal possession, and the participation of low-status divinities and social groups. In recent decades, however, jagar has become a quintessential marker of regional belonging and religious expression in Uttarakhand. The public acceptance of jagar is part of a broader mobilization of vernacular devotional forms across South Asia facilitated by the growing economic clout of urban migrants and vernacular music industries. The hereditary drummer and healer Pritam Bhartwan has been a major catalyst for the resignification of jagar. This chapter highlights the transformations within Pritam Bhartwan’s own public persona as a means of illuminating the shifts in the public perception of jagar and in the concept of folk more broadly.
Introduction
Authors: Bedingfield Sid
Published: July 2018

In the spring of 1935, John Henry McCray graduated from college in Alabama and returned to Lincolnville, South Carolina, the tiny African American enclave near Charleston where he grew up. Brimming with ambition, McCray told friends that he wanted to launch a newspaper and use it to fight for equal rights in his home state....
A Newspaper Joins the Movement
Authors: Bedingfield Sid
Published: July 2018

This chapter details the rise of McCray’s Lighthouse and Informer newspaper. It chronicles the role of civil rights activists Modjeska Monteith Simkins and Osceola E. McKaine in persuading McCray to link his newspaper to the NAACP and the push for civil rights. McCray moves the newspaper to the state capital of Columbia and uses its statewide distribution to rally support for the NAACP and overcomew cautious accommodationism in the African-American community. The chapter provides a detailed look at the early days of the Lighthouse and Informer, when McCray’s paper pushed the boundaries of what a black newspaper could publish in a Deep South state. By 1945, the civil rights movement had gained traction and won a resounding victory: a court decision demanding equal pay for black and white public school teachers.
An Old Warrior Underestimates a New Foe
Authors: Bedingfield Sid
Published: July 2018

This chapter details McCray’s battle with James F. Byrnes, South Carolina’s most distinguished politician of the mid-twentieth century. The elder statesman ran for governor in 1950 after a long career in Washington. At the time the NAACP had filed Briggs v. Elliott, a suit in Clarendon County demanding an end to segregated schools. Byrnes hoped to persuade the state’s African Americans to withdraw the suit in return to more funding for all-black schools in the state. McCray and his newspaper led the fight to rally support in favor of the Clarendon County case. McCray paid a price for his defiance. He was charged with criminal libel and served time on a chain gang. He and his supporters believe Byrnes pushed for the criminal charge to silence McCray’s newspaper.
Clubwomen, Educators, and a Congresswoman
Authors: Case Sarah H.
Published: July 2018

This chapter analyzes the work of alumnae of the Lucy Cobb Institute of Athens, Georgia, a private secondary school for southern white elite young women. Despite the school’s heavy emphasis on female modesty and propriety, a significant number of alumnae took a direct part in shaping the society, culture, and politics of the New South, through their work as educators, clubwomen, journalists, and in other public ways. Many sought worked to maintain racial hierarchy and elite control, but others viewed themselves as fashioning a more just New South, most notably Congresswoman Carolyn O’Day, close friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, and Mildred Rutherford Mell, niece of school president Mildred Lewis Rutherford and scholar of southern “poor whites.”

Enacting Spiritual Connection and Performing Deviance
Authors: Currans Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

This chapter examines two distinct although related responses to the devaluation of queer women’s lives: Oakland’s Sistahs Steppin’ in Pride and the New York Dyke March. Each gathering presented a viable paradigm for social interaction that contested heterosexual norms. Participants held space for distinct yet complementary visions of dyke solidarity and in the process created two unique public cultures, one focused on a politics of deviance and the other on a politics of care. Both frameworks contested dominant value systems privileging consumption and abstract moral standards over the well-being of women, lesbians, queer people, and people of color.
Uncivil Disobedience
Authors: Currans Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

This chapter explores CODEPINK’s combination of creativity, bravery, and successfully leveraged privilege. As part of a group comprised primarily of white, middle-class, middle-aged, able-bodied women, participants access elite spaces while risking arrest. Their participatory democratic direct actions and participation in mass demonstrations not only questioned the exclusion of most women from the formal political process, it challenges norms of civility that both mask and uphold social and political hierarchies. In the process they transform formal political and activist spaces into unruly democratic spaces using uncivil sartorial and sonic practices.
Embodied Affective Citizenship
Authors: Currans Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

This chapter brings together three overlapping concerns--embodiment, affect, and citizenship--by focusing on how this women-dominated group claimed a public space integrally tied to citizenship practice. We feel, emotionally and bodily, the ways that we are granted or denied citizenship. Citizenship is an emotional and embodied experience as well as a legal and political process. By marching on Washington, participants brought this complex web of experiences, what I call embodied affective citizenship, to a site central to how U.S. citizenship is imagined. Marchers representing different approaches to establishing reproductive freedom interacted, transforming the national mall into a site for negotiating how citizenship practice would be understood during and after the event.
Introduction
Authors: David Emmanuel
Published: July 2018

This introductory chapter situates Women of the Storm’s emergence in the context of uncertainty about the future of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. After introducing readers to Women of the Storm, its goals, and its structure, the chapter discusses the limitations of static depictions of the group and argues for an approach that focuses on the processes by which the group came to be. It details the study’s analytic frameworks, which draw upon sociological theories of emergent groups, incipient activism, and symbolic interactionism. The chapter discusses the book’s methodology, including microhistorical analysis, techniques of “studying up” on power and inequality, as well as the narrative nonfiction approach to presenting ethnographic and historical data. The introduction ends with an overview of subsequent chapters.
Conclusion
Authors: David Emmanuel
Published: July 2018

The conclusion reflects upon Women of the Storm’s activities and accomplishments, arguing that in a post-disaster context, elite women’s creative energies and invisible labor were channeled into causes they deemed important. The chapter contends that this unpaid work accrued value over time and that this helped reproduce social and status hierarchies in society. The chapter argues that Women of the Storm was able to achieve what it did due to the ability of its members to align a wide range of groups and institutions to support its cause. In addition to examining networks of power, the chapter assesses material and symbolic outcomes, including the passage of legislation and the construction of moral identities and communities. Finally, it considers the women’s subjective experiences of their activities and argues that this emergent group provided the context for them to engage in new forms of civic activism and to rebuild their individual and collective lives.
Epic Traditions, Performers, and Audiences
Authors: Harris Robin P.
Published: July 2018

This chapter lays the foundation for the rest of the book, supplying descriptions of key olonkho performance features and defining terms related to epics in general and the olonkho tradition in particular. Distinguishing between epic cycle, epic tradition, and epic tale, this chapter examines thorny questions about the historicity of olonkho, its contested connection to shamanism, and its embodiment of Sakha worldview and values. In addition to discussing interactions between the verbal and musical aspects of olonkho, this material explores the role of oral formulaic theory in understanding the emergent character of olonkho.
Esteem for a Masterpiece
Authors: Harris Robin P.
Published: July 2018

Continuing the historical narrative, chapter 3 describes the post-Soviet saga of those who led Yakutia in a quest to bring olonkho back from being “forgotten.” Beginning with the stirrings of cultural revitalization in the early 1990s, the story continues in a gripping narrative of their race for a coveted prize—UNESCO’s recognition of olonkho as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005. In addition to describing changes in olonkho reception since the UNESCO award, including its transformation from an oral tradition to a literature-based art form, this chapter explores the genre’s connection to Sakha language revitalization and the role of youth in the revival of olonkho.
Elements of Resilience
Authors: Harris Robin P.
Published: July 2018

Chapter 5 draws on preceding chapters devoted to historical narratives and UNESCO to inform a discussion of continuity and change in revitalization. Building on well-researched parallels in language and music shift from the fields of sociolinguistics and applied ethnomusicology, this chapter demonstrates two keys in providing resilience for an epic tradition—effective transmission and appropriate levels of innovation. A diagnostic chart created for the Graded Genre Health Assessment (Schrag 2015) reveals that innovation requires engagement with both stable and malleable elements, allowing traditions like olonkho to maintain connections with historical practice while still remaining dynamic enough to adapt to changing contexts.
God Is in the Details
Authors: Jones-Bamman Richard
Published: July 2018

This chapter explores designing and building a banjo for the old-time musical community. It is not a how-to guide, but is rather an extended discussion of the various processes involved, ranging from the choice of materials to the basic design parameters that are dictated by this style of music and its adherents. The chapter is focused on a single builder (Will Fielding), whose banjo building course the author observed and documented. Yet it also features input from myriad other contemporary builders (Kevin Enoch, Bob Flesher, Noel Booth, Greg Galbreath, Wayne Sagmoen, Brooks Masten, Pete Ross, Bart Reiter, Jason and Pharis Romero, Chuck Waldman), whose contributions demonstrate both general agreement with Fielding and occasionally divergent opinions about specific materials or techniques. The result is a rich overview of the current banjo making community, its continuous grounding in past building practices, and its contributions to the old-time musical sphere.
“Black Man’s Verse”
Authors: Lowney John
Published: July 2018

This chapter argues for renewed recognition of Black Chicago Renaissance writer Frank Marshall Davis, whose first collection of poetry, Black Man’s Verse (1935), was widely celebrated for its innovative adaptations of African American vernacular forms, including the blues and jazz. Situating Davis within recent scholarly reassessment of the Black Chicago Renaissance, this chapter demonstrates how Davis’s jazz writing, as a journalist, critic, and poet, exemplifies the global orientation of the Black Chicago Renaissance that is becoming increasingly recognized. Davis’s jazz writing is especially important, for the subsequent Black Arts generation as well as for his Popular Front contemporaries, not only because of his development of inventive vernacular forms, but also because of his insistence on the African roots of African American music. In articulating how African musical principles inform jazz, Davis also underscored the international and interracial importance of jazz for black and working-class social progress.
“Do You Sing for a Living?”
Authors: Lowney John
Published: July 2018

This chapter addresses the significance of jazz in Ann Petry’s 1940s writing, especially The Street. Widely recognized as an influential black feminist novel, The Street is also an important jazz novel, in its characterization of its female protagonist as a jazz singer as well as its inventive dramatic structure. This chapter investigates Petry’s critical engagement with the racial and gender politics of jazz, and specifically swing, during the World War II years, as a radical journalist with the Harlem People’s Voice as well as a novelist. The Street dramatically exemplifies her engagement with jazz as a distinctively African American musical form and a presumed vehicle for black upward mobility, but also as a commercial form subject to the economic and racial politics that limit the novel’s female working-class protagonist. Petry underscores how the nationalist ideology of “the American dream” obscures the recognition of a meaningful African heritage as well as any internationalist vision of working-class solidarity.
Race Man or Race Menace?
Authors: Moore Louis
Published: July 2018

Black fighters’ construction of manhood straddled the line between Victorian respectability and sporting manhood. In other words, many tried to emulate their middle-class brothers. Despite spending their leisure time in the sporting culture, when they had a chance most black prizefighters publicly placed themselves as economically responsible patriarchs. They wanted to prove that their manhood went beyond their physicality, on the one hand, and was not solely rooted in the disreputable sporting culture, on the other hand. As part of the black-middle class’s strategy to prove their equality, race men grounded their manhood in thrift and patriarchy. If the pugilist could avoid the perils of the sporting world, he could properly represent the aspirations of the black middle class.
Assimilationists and the Postwar
Authors: Nguyen Phuong Tran
Published: July 2018

This chapter focuses on the politics of respectability in Little Saigon during the 1980s, in which the Vietnamese American middle class and younger white conservatives shared a mutual interest in promoting “a responsible image of the refugees,” as evidence of who had really won the Vietnam War. Their collective intervention sought to win the postwar by constructing an asymmetrical dichotomy of model minority “good refugees” who typified the race in contrast to aberrational “bad refugees” who had a habit of attracting negative press. In reality, the “bad refugees” represented many of the practices—from using taxpayer dollars to purchase medicine for relatives in Vietnam to exceeding the legal limit for remittances—that accounted for 50% of the ethnic economy.
Introduction
Authors: Vaillant Derek W.
Published: July 2018

U.S–French transatlantic encounters produced contrasting techno-aesthetic ideals of radio broadcasting. The American paradigm stressed power, abundance, and high-speed execution; it could be quantified in kilowatts (kW), stations, transmitters, and program hours. The French techno-aesthetic emphasized quality, scarcity, and deliberate pacing; it prized the artistic and aesthetic merits of a program, valorized the disciplining effect of making do with finite resources, and celebrated deliberation over speedy results. Part 1 of this book examines the rise of U.S.–French broadcasting from the mid-1920s through World War II. Part 2 shifts to post-Liberation France, the Marshall Plan era, and the entanglements shaping U.S–French broadcasting as a dynamic mode of Cold War geopolitics.
We Won’t Always Have Paris
Authors: Vaillant Derek W.
Published: July 2018

This chapter follows the establishment of the first permanent U.S. network radio bureaus in Europe, and the work of the National Broadcasting Company’s (NBC) European Representative, Fred Bate, and his colleagues, including César Saerchinger and Edward R. Murrow, as they developed transatlantic radio broadcast journalism. Throughout the 1930s, Bate and others surmounted obstacles of techno-aesthetic difference in radio production, continental political upheaval, ideological differences, censorship, and resource scarcity, to transform transatlantic broadcasts from shaky experiments into a reliable information conduit for listeners following global events. Such struggles made it possible for transatlantic broadcasting to report the February riots of 1934, the Anschluss, Munich crisis, and the Battle of Britain.
Served on a Platter
Authors: Vaillant Derek W.
Published: July 2018

This chapter analyzes the French Broadcasting System (FBS), a postwar unit of Radiodiffusion Française (RDF), led by Pierre Crénesse. From Paris the FBS produced and distributed recorded English-language radio programs to hundreds of commercial, not-for-profit, and educational U.S. stations from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. The chapter assesses the effects of Cold War geopolitics and the Marshall Plan on the nature of U.S.–French broadcasting, which blurred clear lines of command and control. The FBS promulgated sounds of a revived France on U.S. airwaves. Radio marked an important field of geopolitics and afforded access points for France to reach American listeners and burnish its international reputation via broadcasting.
The Drama of Broadcast History after May 1968
Authors: Vaillant Derek W.
Published: July 2018

This chapter explores selected English-language programs of the Direction des affaires extérieures et de la coopération (DAEC), an affiliate of French broadcasting’s Office de radiodiffusion-télévision française (ORTF). The DAEC supplied historical and cultural radio dramas to U.S. listeners from 1968 until 1973. The DAEC’s dramas used experimental aesthetic techniques and topical provocations to engage a contemporary American audience seeking alternatives to commercial radio. Irreverence, satire, and a willingness to critique French society imbued these exports with a mildly subversive quality rarely heard on U.S.–French radio. DAEC brought non-U.S. radio content to select public stations and marked a final burst of U.S.–French connectivity in the waning days of France’s state broadcast monopoly, which dissolved in 1974.
A Master Strategist
Authors: Chambers Jason P.
Published: July 2018

John H. Johnson was a titan of 20th century business. Starting from humble beginnings, Johnson created two of the most successful magazines in American history (Ebony and Jet) and built a personal fortune made him one of the richest people in America. Yet the strategic decisions Johnson made that led to his successes is much less recognized. This chapter examines how Johnson made key strategic decisions and choices that enabled him to build the Johnson Publishing Company into a major media force. Additionally, it analyzes the choices Johnson made as he grappled with critics of his publishing tactics, other black publishers whose businesses competed with his own, and distributors who refused to carry his products regardless of the financial benefit to them for doing so.
Introduction
Authors: Wilson D. Harlan
Published: July 2018

The introduction situates Ballard in a historical context and draws a blueprint of the book. Uninterested in worn-out Golden Age themes of space exploration and alien invasion, Ballard wanted to marshal the SF genre in a new direction; instead of pointing it at the stars, he would point it at the human psyche and our intricate, uncanny technologies of desire. The concept of inner space (and its surreal depiction) is central to his oeuvre, which does not accord with genre SF but is decidedly science fictional, consistently employing rational novums that defamiliarize and alienate readers in the context of conceivable, technologically advanced dystopias. Harnessing the machinery of late capitalism, Ballard attempts to de-fuse and remake the SF apparatus while commenting on the postmodern human condition.
This Way to Inner Space
Authors: Wilson D. Harlan
Published: July 2018

This chapter provides a concerted overview of Ballard’s short story production and publication, foregrounding key collections, among them The Voices of Time,The Terminal Beach, Vermillion Sands, Myths of the Near Future andWar Fever. It also accounts for articles, essays, reviews, introductions and other nonfiction texts written throughout his life to subsidize his income from fiction. While Ballard’s novels contain the real meat of his legacy, his stories are crucial building blocks, test sites for his craft and the emergent flows of inner space as well as seedlings for book-length works. Before appearing in the aforementioned iconic collections, they were printed mainly in British SF magazines such as New Worlds, Science Fantasy, Ambit andInterzone.
Disaster Areas
Authors: Wilson D. Harlan
Published: July 2018

The texts under consideration in this chapter include Ballard’s first four novels, all of which involve different types of global cataclysms and fall into the apocalyptic subgenre of SF: The Wind from Nowhere, The Drowned World, The Drought and The Crystal World. The latter three are inner-spatial narratives that center on one man’s terrestrial and psychological journey through a dystopian “landscape of decline and desire”; all three protagonists are “becoming-Adams” who seek transcendence by navigating their respective new Edens, “gardens of ruin” that hold the promise of demolition and re-birth. Wind, on the other hand, is a “cozy catastrophe” full of clichés that Ballard wrote to jumpstart his career, although it is much better than some critics (and Ballard himself) have given it credit for.
Psychopathologies of Everyday Life
Authors: Wilson D. Harlan
Published: July 2018

Ballard’s most well-known novels are unpacked in this chapter. It is divided into two sections: the first regarding the experimental, postmodern The Atrocity Exhibition, the second regarding Crash, Concrete Island and High-Rise, which formulate a “cultural disaster trilogy.” Crash has been called the first “pornographic SF novel” and derives from the “condensed novels” that comprise Atrocity. They sparked controversy and have received more critical attention than anything else in his canon, which, for years, was wrongly totalized via their designs and themes. Whereas the books in chapter 3 concern the effects of nature on the psyche, the books discussed here concern the effects of culture on the psyche, exploring how electronic media, consumer-capitalism and urbanity construct and pathologize subjectivity.
The Road to Culture
Authors: Wilson D. Harlan
Published: July 2018

The final chapter accounts for Ballard’s later career and is broken into two parts. The first, “Specters of Nature in Culture,” is devoted to Hello America, The Day of Creation and Rushing to Paradise, which are set in perilous natural landscapes where the technologies of late capitalism and electronic media render the human condition terminally performative, more a product of the “reality studio” than the real world. The second part, “Zones of Terror and Ennui,” examines Running Wild, Cocaine Nights, Super-Cannes, Millennium People and Kingdom Come. Set in gated communities, these so-called “crime novels” problematize the socio-psychological effects of consumer-capitalist life and hinge on an existential fear of bourgeois ennui, the pursuit of agential violence, and the discovery of truth and freedom in madness.
Listening to Cinematic Orphans
Authors: Suarez Harrod J.
Published: July 2018

The third chapter turns to Kidlat Tahimik’s Mababangong Bangungot, a film that depicts the story of a jeepney driver hired to drive his jeepney (a vehicle made for public transportation) in Berlin. The characters rehearse conventional roles of mother-as-nation, son-as-hero. But a glimpse into an alternative cultural political relation develops through the interaction between sound and image, a formal rupture that tasks us with reading the relationship between the visual and the aural. Thinking about the relationship between the two delivers a strong critique stretching from the formal and aesthetic to the historical and political. It is left to the children in the film who enable a queer listening to cinema as they assert themselves as orphans of empire and nationalism.
Singing Truth, Fidelity, and Play in Czech Bluegrass Gospel
Authors: Bidgood Lee
Published: July 2018

The Czech bluegrass band Reliéf has made U.S. gospel bluegrass songs a cornerstone of their performances, despite the fact that its members are not strong Christian believers. Interviews with mandolinist Tomáš Dvořák and with luthier Ondřej Holoubek(brother of the band's guitarist Jiří) reveal tensions between genre expectations of bluegrass and the desire to present performances that are locally relevant and true to the performers' worldview. Analysis of Czech cultural contexts, the work of Richard Schechner, and the author's experiences as a participant in gospel singing shows that these tensions are part of the blurred boundaries between sacred and secular, work and play, and self and other.Keywords: fidelity, play, gospel music, craft, boundaries, work

By the time Jan Švankmajer became generally known to English-speaking audiences, he was already some two decades into his career. Dimensions of Dialogue (Možnosti dialogu, 1982) had become a darling of the festival and museum circuit, winning prizes at Annecy and Berlin for best short. It was his seventeenth film—the third since his liberation from what effectively amounted to a state-imposed ban from filmmaking (1973–1979). By virtue of that circumstance, its reception must have been especially gratifying. ...

Introduction
Authors: Carroll Fred
Published: July 2018

The journalism careers of Marvel Cooke and Ethel Payne illustrate how shifting acceptance of radical black politics defined the professional outlook of successive generations of black journalists. Due to the career restrictions imposed by segregation, Cooke and Payne were members of an expansive and permeable black print culture that encouraged authors, poets, scholars, and activists to publish alongside working reporters. This familiarity imbued black journalism with an unexpected cultural vibrancy and cosmopolitan character. During the interwar years, journalists like Cooke promoted a progressive reporting style that included the politics of anti-colonialism, anti-capitalism, and Black Nationalism. In the postwar period, though, journalists like Payne promoted a narrower conception of freedom that emphasized acceptance of America’s two-party political system and its political economy.
“Negro Subversion”
Authors: Carroll Fred
Published: July 2018

A skeletal national communications network of news by, about, and for African Americans came into existence as black men and women migrated from the rural South for better wages and opportunities in the industrial North and elsewhere. Upstart newspaper publishers courted readers by adopting modern journalism practices and emboldening demands for racial reform, as illustrated by the Chicago Defender and Crisis magazine. News coverage of the East St. Louis race riot and the so-called Houston mutiny showed how journalists continued to denounce segregation and discrimination even after the United States joined World War I. Press criticism provoked government surveillance and censorship. State intimidation, though, failed to silence dissident publishers who claimed to rival ministers as Black America’s preeminent leaders.
A Crusade into the Digital Age
Authors: Carroll Fred
Published: July 2018

Competing definitions of objectivity have shaped the racial history of American journalism and continue to structure how racial issues are reported in digital media today. The black press historically aimed to enlarge the professional meaning of objectivity, hoping to invigorate the United States' democratic impulse. In contrast, the white press aimed to impose a narrow definition of objectivity that served to endorse a discriminatory status quo. Black journalists and black media remain relevant in the digital age because both continue to articulate a racial perspective frequently absent or marginalized in mass media. Despite integration, though, the collapse of journalism’s profitability amid digital transformation means black journalists continue to confront workplace concerns familiar to those encountered by their predecessors.
Neoliberalism and the Future of Democracy
Authors: Holloway Travis ,   DePaul University
Published: July 2018

This paper describes neoliberalism and summarizes new works on democracy in Continental philosophy. Unlike laissez-faire or liberal economic theory—a “leave us alone” strategy in which the state does not interfere with private enterprise—neoliberal governments use the resources of the state to assist the market directly and employ the market to direct or oversee the resources of the state. Alongside neoliberal government, and in its wake, is a society in which the guiding axioms for each human being are self-entrepreneurship and competition. Over the last decade, however, a new body of philosophical work has been dissociating democracy from neoliberal government, critiquing a failed system of political representation, and considering to what extent democracy must take place beyond or outside of the current state. Of equal concern to these philosophers is how to take flight from a way of life that is characterized by self-entrepreneurship and competition. For some, the start of a political future beyond neoliberalism hinges upon a recent distinction between constituent and destituent forms of power. Whereas constituent power attempts to reform one’s government through demonstrations in public space, destituent power abandons the project of reforming one’s government momentarily or even completely in order to experience another form of life entirely.
Los mapas auto-organizados para la evaluación de la investigación de tesis doctorales: el caso de la Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales en España
Authors: Curiel-Marín Elvira , Passoni Lucía Isabel , Olmedo-Moreno Eva María , Fernández-Cano Antonio
Published: July 2018

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de poner en valor el potencial del uso de redes neuronales del tipo mapas auto-organizados (SOM) como herramienta clarificadora en el tratamiento, análisis y visualización de datos cienciométricos, concretamente, en el caso del análisis de las tesis doctorales españolas en Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales, indexadas en la base nacional española de tesis doctorales TESEO, defendidas entre 1976 y 2014. Se ha recuperado un censo de 301 tesis doctorales, clasificadas según las variables: comunidades autónomas (Andalucía y Cataluña), quinquenios de producción, categorías temáticas y etapas educativas. En Andalucía la producción es más alta en los quinquenios 1986-1990 y 2001-2005. En Cataluña, los quinquenios más productivos fueron 1991-1995, 1996-2000, 2001-2005 y 2006-2010. Como conclusión general se infiere que los SOM resultantes permiten actualizar la comprensión sobre el estado de la cuestión en la disciplina, en base a las diversas variables consideradas, que como “metáforas visuales” ayudan a revelar patrones ocultos en los datos. La potencialidad de los SOM como aproximación exploratoria de datos multivariados se hace manifiesta.

Authors: Porto-Castro Ana María , Barreiro-Fernández Felicidad , Gerpe-Pérez Enelina María , Mosteiro-García Mª Josefa
Published: July 2018

La biblioteca escolar ha adquirido en los últimos años un nuevo protagonismo, convirtiéndose en un espacio de aprendizaje fundamental para la enseñanza de las distintas áreas y materias y el fomento de competencias en el alumnado. El objetivo de este trabajo es validar un cuestionario diseñado ad hoc para evaluar el funcionamiento y las formas de uso e incorporación de la biblioteca escolar a la actividad pedagógica diaria. Para ello se aplicó el cuestionario a una muestra aleatoria de 4.177 alumnas y alumnos de 358 centros de Educación Primaria, Secundaria y Postobligatoria, se calculó su fiabilidad mediante la prueba de Alfa de Cronbach y se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio. Los resultados muestran que el Cuestionario de Alumnas y Alumnos para Evaluar el Funcionamiento de la Biblioteca Escolar tiene unos niveles aceptables de fiabilidad y validez, de forma que ofrece suficientes garantías en su utilización para evaluar el funcionamiento de la biblioteca escolar
Molecular dynamics ensemble refinement of the heterogeneous native state of NCBD using chemical shifts and NOEs
Authors: Papaleo Elena , Camilloni Carlo , Teilum Kaare , Vendruscolo Michele , Lindorff-Larsen Kresten
Published: July 2018

Many proteins display complex dynamical properties that are often intimately linked to their biological functions. As the native state of a protein is best described as an ensemble of conformations, it is important to be able to generate models of native state ensembles with high accuracy. Due to limitations in sampling efficiency and force field accuracy it is, however, challenging to obtain accurate ensembles of protein conformations by the use of molecular simulations alone. Here we show that dynamic ensemble refinement, which combines an accurate atomistic force field with commonly available nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and NOEs, can provide a detailed and accurate description of the conformational ensemble of the native state of a highly dynamic protein. As both NOEs and chemical shifts are averaged on timescales up to milliseconds, the resulting ensembles reflect the structural heterogeneity that goes beyond that probed, e.g., by NMR relaxation order parameters. We selected the small protein domain NCBD as object of our study since this protein, which has been characterized experimentally in substantial detail, displays a rich and complex dynamical behaviour. In particular, the protein has been described as having a molten-globule like structure, but with a relatively rigid core. Our approach allowed us to describe the conformational dynamics of NCBD in solution, and to probe the structural heterogeneity resulting from both short- and long-timescale dynamics by the calculation of order parameters on different time scales. These results illustrate the usefulness of our approach since they show that NCBD is rather rigid on the nanosecond timescale, but interconverts within a broader ensemble on longer timescales, thus enabling the derivation of a coherent set of conclusions from various NMR experiments on this protein, which could otherwise appear in contradiction with each other.
Crystal structure of human Acinus RNA recognition motif domain

Acinus is an abundant nuclear protein involved in apoptosis and splicing. It has been implicated in inducing apoptotic chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation during programmed cell death. Acinus undergoes activation by proteolytic cleavage that produces a truncated p17 form that comprises only the RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain. We have determined the crystal structure of the human Acinus RRM domain (AcRRM) at 1.65 Å resolution. It shows a classical four-stranded antiparallel β-sheet fold with two flanking α-helices and an additional, non-classical α-helix at the C-terminus, which harbors the caspase-3 target sequence that is cleaved during Acinus activation. In the structure, the C-terminal α-helix partially occludes the potential ligand binding surface of the β-sheet and hypothetically shields it from non-sequence specific interactions with RNA. Based on the comparison with other RRM-RNA complex structures, it is likely that the C-terminal α-helix changes its conformation with respect to the RRM core in order to enable RNA binding by Acinus.
СОЦИАЛИЗМ, СОЦИАЛЬНОСТЬ И СОЦИАЛЬНОЕ ГОСУДАРСТВО: К ВОПРОСУ О СООТНОШЕНИИ ПОНЯТИЙ И СМЫСЛОВ НА СОВРЕМЕННОМ ЭТАПЕ КОНСТИТУЦИОННОГО ОБУСТРОЙСТВА РОССИИ, "Государство и право"

Работа - результат авторского осмысления понятий социализма, социальности и социального государства применительно к современной ситуации конституционного обустройства России. На основе анализа краткого общественно-политического эссе А.?Эйнштейна “Почему социализм?” делается вывод о том, что сегодня понятие социализма должно трактоваться существенно шире, нежели только в рамках соответствующих теорий социалистическо-утопического толка. Раскрывается роль Конституционного Суда РФ в реализации принципа социального государства в России, достижении идеалов социальной справедливости и обеспечении социальной солидарности. В заключительной части выделены текущие задачи конституционного развития России в обеспечении реализации стандартов социального государства.

Рассматриваются эволюция правовой теории государственного суверенитета и влияние Интернета на государственный суверенитет. Противоречие между таким традиционным принципом государственного суверенитета, как территория, и экстерриториальностью Интернета обусловливает необходимость переосмысления механизма реализации суверенитета в условиях Интернета. Оцениваются перспективы совмещения киберпространства с государственным суверенитетом и возникающие в этой связи новые правовые задачи.

Аннотация: в статье предпринята попытка с современных научных позиций объективно оценить вклад выдающегося мыслителя в развитие отечественной естественно-правовой мысли, в разработку теории социального либерализма, сменившего в XX в. классический либеральный индивидуализм, в исследование феномена общественного идеала. Акцент в статье сделан на обоснование исключительной актуальности научного наследия П.И.?Новгородцева, многие идеи которого, интеллектуальные и духовно-нравственные искания необыкновенно своевременны и востребованы, что и позволяет считать его нашим современником. Его труды дороги нам как живое и блестящее свидетельство самостоятельности и значимости русской философско-правовой мысли. Они не стареют. Более того, время открывает в них новые черты, важные для сегодняшнего дня. Они возвращают нас к так называемым “вечным” социальным вопросам и могут служить верным ориентиром в поиске способов их решения применительно к реалиям современного российского общества.

Published: July 2018

В статье рассматриваются теоретические и практические аспекты межгосударственного размежевания арктических пространств: основные концепции, существующие в доктрине международного права; международно-правовые позиции арктических стран; концептуальные подходы авторитетных представителей российской науки и практики международного права. Руководствуясь теорией и практикой международного права, авторы приходят к выводу о неприемлемости секторальной теории. Оспаривая нормоустанавливающий характер теории “полярных секторов”, авторы полагают, что в арктическом регионе сложился международно-правовой обычай, но имеющий иное содержание. Приоритетным основанием полярного размежевания является международно-правовой обычай признания исторического титула как правооснования преимущественных прав полярных государств в арктическом регионе, реальность и значимость которых доказаны их длительным осуществлением.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена проблемами совершенствования правотворческой юридической техники в контексте реализации правотворческого процесса в России на федеральном уровне. Сделан вывод о значимости соблюдения принципов и правил юридической техники в правотворческом процессе. На основе анализа нормативно-правовой регламентации юридико-технических правил правотворческого процесса в России выявлено отсутствие единого общефедерального подхода в определении указанных средств и правил юридической техники правотворческого процесса, в то время как в отдельных субъектах такие правила имеются. Авторами обоснована необходимость принятия федерального закона, содержащего данные правила, что позволит оптимизировать и усовершенствовать правотворческий процесс в Российской Федерации.
