Black Internationalism, Anticommunism, and the Prison
Authors: Grant Nicholas
Published: May 2018

Chapters 5 and 6 both document how African Americans and black South Africans established the prison as a key site of black international protest in the 1950s. Specifically, chapter 5 examines how anticommunism operated as a global language that was employed to bolster white supremacy and limit black protest. However, this section of the book also demonstrates how black activists responded to their arrest and imprisonment by strategically connected white settler colonialism in southern Africa to racism in America. This resulted in political prisoners on both sides of the Atlantic being configured as icons of resistance, heroic figures through which black international solidarities were launched and maintained.
What Is Exit?
Authors: Kirkpatrick Jennet
Published: May 2018

This introductory chapter examines the current scholarship on leaving or walking away from political groups such as nation states, political parties, and civic associations. It argues that “exit” tends to have three characteristics in this literature. It is associated with individualism, anti-participation, and freedom from higher authority. In short, exit is often thought of as an act that cuts someone off from politics or frees a person from the burden on politics. The chapter suggests that there is another way to think about exit as remaining connected to politics and attached to political communities. Using James Baldwin’s self-exile from the United States as an example, it offers an initial glimpse of what this alternative way of leaving looks like and provides an overview of the chapters of the book.
Resistant Exits
Authors: Kirkpatrick Jennet
Published: May 2018

This chapter explores a dilemma faced by some political activists operating in constrained political contexts. Should they stay or should they go? In authoritarian contexts, remaining in the country of origin can carry serious risks—including torture, incarceration, and death. Leaving, on the other hand, may be seen as cowardly, self-interested, or an abandonment of political obligations to the cause of opposition. This chapter looks at contemporary political exiles who have negotiated this dilemma in an innovative way by continuing their opposition from abroad. It illuminates resistant exits in a contemporary political contexts and looks more closely at the a complicated set of relationships between self-interest and political concern for others. It argues that it can be difficult to discern a sharp demarcation between acting selfishly and behaving selflessly for these activists. The connection between the two is tangled, one in which self-interested concerns lie atop and underneath more selfless political and moral obligations.
Ambivalent Embrace
Authors: Kranson Rachel
Published: May 2018

This new cultural history of Jewish life and identity in the United States after World War II focuses on the process of upward mobility. Rachel Kranson challenges the common notion that most American Jews unambivalently celebrated their generally strong growth in economic status and social acceptance during the booming postwar era. In fact, a significant number of Jewish religious, artistic, and intellectual leaders worried about the ascent of large numbers of Jews into the American middle class. Kranson reveals that many newly-affluent, postwar Jews were deeply concerned that their lives—affected by rapidly changing political pressures, gender norms, and religious practices—were becoming dangerously disconnected from what they saw as authentic Jewish values. She uncovers how Jewish leaders continued to identify with Jewish histories of economic and social insecurity, and romanticized Jewish life in America’s immigrant slums and Europe’s impoverished shtetls. Jewish leaders, while not trying to hinder economic development, thus cemented an ongoing identification with the Jewish heritage of poverty and marginality as a crucial element in an American Jewish ethos.
Materially Poor, Spiritually Rich
Authors: Kranson Rachel
Published: May 2018

As the fortunes and social status of American Jews grew in the years after World War II, the symbolic power of the shtetl, the immigrant slum, and the struggling new state of Israel gained in importance. Jewish writers, educators, and clergy depicted these locations as deeply authentic Jewish spaces, uncorrupted by the influence and comforts of the non-Jewish world. Isolated rather than integrated, impoverished rather than affluent, they seemed to represent the opposite of mid-century American Jewish life. In the romantic imagination of American Jewish leaders, the deprivations suffered by their ancestors and co-religionists transformed into sources of pleasure, strength, and Jewish authenticity, and poverty and isolation emerged as integral components of a genuine and deeply satisfying Jewish identity.
Pathfinders’ Predicament
Authors: Kranson Rachel
Published: May 2018

This chapter details the widespread communal discomfort surrounding the religious practices of upwardly-mobile American Jews in the decades after World War II, paying particular attention to how Congregation Solel – a suburban synagogue whose members considered themselves to be particularly intellectual, politically-oriented, and critical of the American middle-class -- responded to these concerns. While most postwar American synagogues did not follow Solel in steeling themselves against the normative patterns of middle-class Jewish congregational life, the anxieties articulated by the members of Solel reverberated widely among postwar Jews and especially among the rabbinic leadership. Long-accustomed to thinking of social exclusion and economic need as integral components of a genuine Jewish identity, postwar rabbis did not necessarily feel comfortable with an emergent American Judaism that reflected acceptance and affluence.
“Hunting for Chinamen”
Authors: Lim Julian
Published: May 2018

Through a close, on-the-ground reading of U.S. immigration records and newspaper accounts, this chapter shows how Chinese immigrants repeatedly improvised new cross-racial strategies to gain entry into the United States during the era of Chinese Exclusion. Their actions not only forced local immigration officials to continually adjust their own practices in response, but to focus increasing attention on racial differentiation. In the process of distinguishing Chinese from Mexican, and rooting out smuggling rings that depended upon the cooperation of Chinese sponsors and immigrants, Mexican guides, and black railroad workers, these street-level bureaucrats not only enforced U.S. immigration law, but did so through practices that rendered multiracial relations and identities suspect and illegitimate. Moreover, as immigration officials and the immigrants they sought to police drew the attention of the federal government to the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez border, they brought the American state into the borderlands. The chapter thus connects local enforcement practices at the border with the broader goals of federal immigration law and nation-building at the turn of the century.
Forged in Revolution
Authors: Lim Julian
Published: May 2018

This chapter analyzes the multiracial intersections of the Mexican Revolution, using the case of Pershing’s Expedition into Mexico in 1916 1917 to explore the escalating importance that both states attached to race, immigration, and citizenship in the borderlands. South of the border, military service clarified the citizenship status of African Americans while Mexicans and Chinese immigrants found themselves caught in a dangerous space between two states – one state (Mexico) that could not sufficiently protect them from revolutionary violence and another (the United States) that remained uncertain about whether to protect them at all. As U.S. immigration officials tightened the border against thousands of men, women, and children fleeing for their safety and security, the power of the U.S. state became more clearly visible in the borderlands. This chapter analyzes how people caught between revolution and exclusion renegotiated their relationship with the state. In desperate straits, Mexican immigrants reconstructed their identities from political refugees to desirable laborers, while Chinese immigrants re-branded themselves as deserving refugees rather than excludable laborers. The chapter thus elaborates the ways in which immigrants and officials refined the distinctions between the diverse groups in the borderlands.
Introduction
Authors: Patiño Jimmy
Published: May 2018

This chapter introduces the main ideas, people and preceding history of the deportation regime, Mexican American activism, and outline of the book chapters. It explains what led the small print shop owner Herman Baca, and his mentors Bert Corona and Soledad “Chole” Alatorre, to project the Chicano movement toward immigration issues. The chapter then explores how the development of racial capitalism—from the acquisition of indigenous land, the use of a system of chattel slavery, and recruitment of displace migrant workers—formed the basis for a deportation system of immigration in the U.S. The chapter concludes with an exploration of the chapter themes that will be shared throughout by exploring a brief history of struggle among ethnic Mexican activists in the United States for immigrant rights from the 1930s through the 1980s.
The First Time I Met César Chávez, I Got into an Argument with Him
Authors: Patiño Jimmy
Published: May 2018

Chapter 4 continues the exploration of intense debate within Chicano Movement circles over the immigration issue through analysis of differing positions among Raza Sí, Migra No activists and Chicano Democrats who were deeply influenced by the popular United Farm Workers (UFW). Beginning with the story of an early 1970s meeting where Herman Baca met UFW leader and emerging icon, César Chávez, the chapter outlines how the first encounter led to “heated” disagreement between Baca alongside his mentor Bert Corona, and Chávez over their relationship to undocumented workers. The manner through which Chicano/a immigrant rights activists debated these Chicano Democrats is explored through Baca’s debates with his former ally, San Diego Assemblyman Peter Chacón, over California legislation that sought to address the problem of undocumented immigration. This legislation, the Dixon Arnett Bill, was debated among Chicanos/as and others from 1970-1972 before, during and following its passage in 1971.
Delivering the Mexicano Vote
Authors: Patiño Jimmy
Published: May 2018

Chapter 5 continues the story begun in chapter 4, when a split between Chicano Democrats and Chicano/Mexicano immigrant rights activists leads to the exodus of the latter from the statewide MAPA organization to the seemingly more radical politics of La Raza Unida Party, an ethnic third party effort. The chapter explores how this moment led to debates between various factions of the California La Raza Unida Party through which San Diego Chicano/Mexicano activists participated from roughly 1970-1975. Community activists in San Diego LRUP facilitated an approach in between a persistent narrow nationalism that, despite rhetoric otherwise, deemphasized the noncitizen migrant experience and struggled to embrace the diverse political positions within the ethnic Mexican community. San Diego Chicano/Mexicano LRUP organizers maintained engagement with the diverse ethnic Mexican community in their registration efforts, as they continued to learn about the limits of voting strategies in their mixed-legal status community.
Providing Love and Care
Authors: Rymph Catherine E.
Published: May 2018

This chapter examines the ambiguity of the foster parent role in the post-World War II period, looking particularly at analogies to other kinds of parenting. It explores efforts by child welfare professionals to reconcile their ambivalent feelings about foster parents through the creation and promotion of national standards for foster care and foster parenting. The chapter looks closely at professional writings about the foster mother role and the reasons why foster fathers received so little attention. It also examines the ways in which foster parents resisted their proscribed role, notably through attempting to adopt children in their care.
The Power and Politics of Art in Postrevolutionary Mexico
Authors: Smith Stephanie J.
Published: May 2018

Stephanie J. Smith brings Mexican politics and art together, chronicling the turbulent relations between radical artists and the postrevolutionary Mexican state. The revolution opened space for new political ideas, but by the late 1920s many government officials argued that consolidating the nation required coercive measures toward dissenters. While artists and intellectuals, some of them professed Communists, sought free expression in matters both artistic and political, Smith reveals how they simultaneously learned the fine art of negotiation with the increasingly authoritarian government in order to secure clout and financial patronage. But the government, Smith shows, also had reason to accommodate artists, and a surprising and volatile interdependence grew between the artists and the politicians.
Involving well-known artists such as Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, as well as some less well known, including Tina Modotti, Leopoldo Méndez, and Aurora Reyes, politicians began to appropriate the artists’ nationalistic visual images as weapons in a national propaganda war. High-stakes negotiating and co-opting took place between the two camps as they sparred over the production of generally accepted notions and representations of the revolution’s legacy—and what it meant to be authentically Mexican.
Revolutionary Printmakers
Authors: Smith Stephanie J.
Published: May 2018

The significance of chapter 5 is threefold: (1) to analyze the interactions of Mexico’s printmakers, including those belonging to Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios, or the League of Revolutionary Writers and Artists (LEAR), and the Taller de Gráfica Popular, or the Popular Graphic Art Workshop (TGP), with state officials; (2) to situate Mexico as a vital space within the international struggle against the spread of fascism; and (3) to understand better the transnational influence on culture and politics during Mexico’s postrevolutionary period. Artists associated with Mexico’s Communist Party played key roles in the formation and everyday affairs of the LEAR and TGP, and the alliances between the PCM and the two artists’ groups remained strong. Although tensions eventually developed between individual TGP printmakers and the PCM, the distinctive union of politics and art resulted in the creation of two of Mexico’s most significant creative movements of the twentieth century.

Surely nowhere in the world do oppression and persecution based solely on the color of the skin appear more hateful and hideous than in the capital of the United States, because the chasm between the principles upon which this Government was founded, in which it still professes to believe, and those which are daily practiced under the protection of the flag, yawns so wide and deep....
Incapable of Self-Government
Authors: Asch Chris Myers , Musgrove George Derek
Published: May 2018

This chapter explains how Washingtonians, black and white, lost the right to vote in 1874. The success of biracial democracy during Reconstruction triggered a backlash from white conservatives and business leaders who persuaded Congress to retreat from the promise of biracial democracy, first by limiting electoral power in a territorial government in 1871 and then by eliminating self-government altogether in 1874. In the decades that followed, Washington rolled back Reconstruction-era racial progress, part of a region-wide effort to enforce white supremacy. When city commissioners compiled the District Code in 1901, they quietly dropped the local antidiscrimination laws from the books. The city continued to boast a diverse and growing black middle class, but black political power and aspirations withered. The door to biracial, cross-class democracy seemed to have been slammed shut.
Washington Is a Giant Awakened
Authors: Asch Chris Myers , Musgrove George Derek
Published: May 2018

As the city boomed during the New Deal and World War II, a new generation of black activists and their allies arose to challenge Jim Crow, find decent housing, and fight for economic survival. They used new forms of protest, including boycotts, union organizing, and sit-ins, and they formed interracial alliances with a growing number of white people, in Washington and around the country, who saw racial inequality in the nation’s capital as a stain on America’s reputation. This experimentation produced mixed results at the time, but the community activism and interracial organizing of the 1930s and 1940s helped lay the foundation for the postwar civil rights movement. Nonetheless, determined white resistance at the local and federal levels largely preserved segregation in the nation’s capital during the war years. In fights against employment discrimination, segregated public spaces, and inadequate housing, racial egalitarians often achieved symbolic or small-scale victories but ultimately failed to defeat Jim Crow. Despite the sweeping rhetoric about freedom, democracy, and the “American Way” that accompanied the U.S. war effort, World War II stalled racial progress in D.C.
What Makes Us to Differ from Them?
Authors: Ziparo Jessica
Published: May 2018

Chapter 7 explores the equal pay debates of the Civil War era. The government paid women less than it paid men, although many performed the same or equivalent work. Between late 1864 and early 1870, Congress received at least 740 female federal employee signatures on eleven separate petitions asking for greater pay. Some of these women argued that since they performed the same work as men, they should be paid the same. The efforts of early female federal employees and labor feminists to obtain equal pay for equal work engendered a precocious debate in Congress that almost succeeded in earning equal pay for women and forced Congressmen to engage in dialogues about gender equality and the role the federal government should play in society. Despite the exciting rhetoric of equality and justice in these debates, Congress did not set the standard of equal pay for women underscoring that although women had made much progress in federal work during the Civil War era, much work remained to be done. Surprisingly, petitioners did not receive much assistance from the women’s suffrage movement. The absence of the suffrage movement in these debates arguably disadvantaged both causes.
Characterization of atmospheric bioaerosols along the transport pathway of Asian dust during the Dust-Bioaerosol 2016 Campaign

Published: May 2018

Abstract. Previous studies have shown that bioaerosols are injected into the atmosphere during dust events. These bioaerosols may affect leeward ecosystems, human health, and agricultural productivity and may even induce climate change. However, bioaerosol dynamics have rarely been investigated along the transport pathway of Asian dust, especially in China where dust events affect huge areas and massive numbers of people. Given this situation, the Dust-Bioaerosol (DuBi) Campaign was carried out over northern China, and the effects of dust events on the amount and diversity of bioaerosols were investigated. The results indicate that the number of bacteria showed remarkable increases during the dust events, and the diversity of the bacterial communities also increased significantly, as determined by means of microscopic observations with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining and MiSeq sequencing analysis. These results indicate that dust clouds can carry many bacteria of various types into downwind regions and may have potentially important impacts on ecological environments and climate change. The abundances of DAPI-stained bacteria in the dust samples were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude greater than those in the non-dust samples and reached 105–106 particles m−3. Moreover, the concentration ratios of DAPI-stained bacteria to yellow fluorescent particles increased from 5.1 % ± 6.3 % (non-dust samples) to 9.8 % ± 6.3 % (dust samples). A beta diversity analysis of the bacterial communities demonstrated the distinct clustering of separate prokaryotic communities in the dust and non-dust samples. Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria remained the dominant phyla in all samples. As for Erenhot, the relative abundances of Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi had a remarkable rise in dust events. In contrast, the relative abundances of Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi in non-dust samples of R-DzToUb were greater than those in dust samples. Alphaproteobacteria made the major contribution to the increasing relative abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria in all dust samples. The relative abundance of Firmicutes did not exceed 5 % in all the air samples, even though it is the predominant phylum in the surface sand samples from the Gobi Desert. These results illustrate that the bacterial community contained in dust aerosol samples has a different pattern compared with non-dust aerosol samples, and the relative abundances of airborne bacteria are different from those in the surface sand or soil and differ by location and transmitting vector.
The impact of transport model differences on CO2 surface flux estimates from OCO-2 retrievals of column average CO2
Authors: Basu Sourish , Baker David F. , Chevallier Frédéric , Patra Prabir K. , Liu Junjie , Miller John B.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. We estimate the uncertainty of CO2 flux estimates in
atmospheric inversions stemming from differences between different global
transport models. Using a set of observing system simulation experiments
(OSSEs), we estimate this uncertainty as represented by the spread between
five different state-of-the-art global transport models (ACTM, LMDZ,
GEOS-Chem, PCTM and TM5), for both traditional in situ CO2 inversions
and inversions of XCO2 estimates from the Orbiting Carbon
Observatory 2 (OCO-2). We find that, in the absence of relative biases between
in situ CO2 and OCO-2 XCO2, OCO-2 estimates of terrestrial
flux for TRANSCOM-scale land regions can be more robust to transport model
differences than corresponding in situ CO2 inversions. This is
due to a combination of the increased spatial coverage of OCO-2 samples and
the total column nature of OCO-2 estimates. We separate the two effects by
constructing hypothetical in situ networks with the coverage of OCO-2 but
with only near-surface samples. We also find that the transport-driven
uncertainty in fluxes is comparable between well-sampled northern temperate
regions and poorly sampled tropical regions. Furthermore, we find that
spatiotemporal differences in sampling, such as between OCO-2 land and ocean
soundings, coupled with imperfect transport, can produce differences in flux
estimates that are larger than flux uncertainties due to transport model
differences. This highlights the need for sampling with as complete a spatial
and temporal coverage as possible (e.g., using both land and ocean retrievals
together for OCO-2) to minimize the impact of selective sampling. Finally,
our annual and monthly estimates of transport-driven uncertainties can be
used to evaluate the robustness of conclusions drawn from real OCO-2 and in
situ CO2 inversions.
OCEANFILMS sea-spray organic aerosol emissions – Part 1: implementation and impacts on clouds
Authors: Burrows Susannah M. , Easter Richard , Liu Xiaohong , Ma Po-Lun , Wang Hailong , Elliott Scott M. , Singh Balwinder , Zhang Kai , Rasch Philip J.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. The OCEANFILMS parameterization for sea-spray organic aerosol emissions has been implemented into a global Earth system model, the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). OCEANFILMS is a physically-based model that links sea spray chemistry with ocean biogeochemistry using a Langmuir partitioning approach. Here we describe the implementation within E3SM and investigate the impacts of the parameterization on the model's aerosols, clouds and climate. Four sensitivity cases are tested, in which organic emissions either strictly add to or strictly replace sea salt emissions (in mass and number), and are either fully internally or fully externally mixed with sea salt. The simulation with internally-mixed, added organics agrees best with observed seasonal cycles of organic matter in marine aerosol. In this configuration, marine organic aerosols contribute an additional source of cloud condensation nuclei, adding up to 30 cm−3 to Southern Ocean boundary-layer CCN concentrations (supersaturation = 0.1 %). The addition of this new aerosol source strengthens shortwave radiative cooling by clouds by −0.36 W/m2 in the global annual mean, and contributes more than −3.5 W/m2 to summertime zonal mean cloud forcing in the Southern Ocean, with maximum zonal mean impacts of about −4 W/m2 around 50° S–60° S. This is consistent with a previous top-down, satellite-based empirical estimate of the radiative forcing by marine organic aerosol over the Southern Ocean.
Decreasing Indian summer monsoon on the northern Indian sub-continent during the last 180 years: evidence from five tree-ring cellulose oxygen isotope chronologies
Authors: Xu Chenxi , Sano Masaki , Dimri Ashok Priyadarshan , Ramesh Rengaswamy , Nakatsuka Takeshi , Shi Feng , Guo Zhengtang
Published: May 2018

Abstract. We have constructed a regional tree-ring cellulose oxygen isotope (δ18O) record for the northern Indian sub-continent based on two new records from northern India and central Nepal and three published records from northwestern India, western Nepal and Bhutan. The record spans the common interval from 1743 to 2008 CE. Correlation analysis reveals that the record is significantly and negatively correlated with the three regional climatic indices: all India rainfall (AIR; r  =  −0.5, p  <  0.001, n  =  138), Indian monsoon index (IMI; r  =  −0.45, p  <  0.001, n  =  51) and the intensity of monsoonal circulation (r  =  −0.42, p  <  0.001, n  =  51). The close relationship between tree-ring cellulose δ18O and the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) can be explained by oxygen isotope fractionation mechanisms. Our results indicate that the regional tree-ring cellulose δ18O record is suitable for reconstructing high-resolution changes in the ISM. The record exhibits significant interannual and long-term variations. Interannual changes are closely related to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which indicates that the ISM was affected by ENSO in the past. However, the ISM–ENSO relationship was not consistent over time, and it may be partly modulated by Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST). Long-term changes in the regional tree-ring δ18O record indicate a possible trend of weakened ISM intensity since 1820. Decreasing ISM activity is also observed in various high-resolution ISM records from southwest China and Southeast Asia, and may be the result of reduced land–ocean thermal contrasts since 1820 CE.
An early record of ball lightning: Oliva (Spain), 1619

Published: May 2018

Abstract. In a primary documentary source we found an early record of ball lightning
(BL), which was observed in the monastery of Pi (Oliva, southeastern Spain)
on 18 October 1619. The ball lightning was observed by at least three people
and was described as a “rolling burning vessel” and a “ball of fire”. The
ball lightning appeared following a lightning flash, showed a mainly
horizontal motion, crossed a wall, smudged an image of the Lady of Rebollet
(then known as Lady of Pi) and burnt her ruff, and overturned a cross.
Reframing the Fall of the Zirid Dynasty, 1112–35 CE
Authors: King Matt
Published: May 2018

Ever since H. R. Idris categorized the last forty years of the Zirid emirate (972–1148) as one of “agony,” the characterization has stuck. According to his narrative, the fall of the Zirid dynasty was as inevitable as the ascent of the Normans in Sicily, who exploited the Zirids for years before seizing their capital of Mahdia in 1148. This article challenges this anachronistic view of the Zirid dynasty by showing the relative strength of the Zirids throughout the 1110s and 1120s, as they made strategic alliances with other Muslim powers in the Mediterranean and won multiple victories against the Normans.
Authoritarian Claims to Legitimacy: Syria's Education under the Regime of Bashar al-Assad
Authors: Masud Muhammad
Published: May 2018

This article examines how Bashar al-Assad's authoritarian regime has used public education to legitimize itself and ground its authority. The Assad regime has always used education as propaganda. Since the start of Syria's civil war, however, the Assad regime has begun to use textbooks to attack its challengers, display its power, and deny accusations of human rights violations. Because they are compulsory readings in most of Syria's schools, and are also freely available on the website of Assad's Ministry of Education, state-sanctioned textbooks reach millions of Syrian citizens and most of the Syrian diaspora. This article investigates the claims to legitimacy in Assad's textbooks and explores how Assad uses education as part of a systematic process of maintaining control of the country, a process that also includes brute force and unforgiving military power.
Approaches to head movement: A critical assessment
Authors: Dékány Éva
Published: May 2018

Heads can be spelled out higher than their merge-in position. The operation that the transformationalist generative literature uses to model this is called head movement. Government and Binding posited that the operation in question involves adjunction of a lower head to a higher head in narrow syntax. It has been noted early on, however, that this approach is highly problematic because head-adjunction violates several well-motivated constraints on syntactic structures.This overview article surveys the problems raised by the adjunction approach as well as the recent alternative analyses that were suggested in its stead in the Minimalist program. It evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the alternatives, discusses to what extent they are able to eliminate the problems raised by the adjunction analysis, and also points out the new problems that they give rise to.
CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE "O EROTISMO", DE GEORGES BATAILLE: UM PENSADOR DO PARADOXO E DA TRANSGRESSÃO
Authors: Galantin Daniel Verginelli
Published: May 2018

Com este artigo pretendo contribuir para a interpretação da obra "O Erotismo" de Georges Bataille. Para tanto acredito ser necessário apontar alguns dos pensadores com quem ele polemizou, as razões de tal polêmica, assim como outros autores com quem ele convergiu. Porém, ao comentar sua obra, irei me restringir a "O Erotismo". Pretendo diminuir essa limitação do presente artigo através de referências a outros intelectuais que comentaram sua obra. Dentro de "O erotismo" será dada uma especial atenção à complexa relação que Bataille estabelece entre as interdições e as transgressões, relação que será explicitada através de um diálogo com escritos de Michel Foucault e Friedrich Nietzsche.
O CRONISTA E A DAMA: FACETAS DA AIA INÊS DE CASTRO NA CRÔNICA DE FERNÃO LOPES

Este artigo propõe uma análise sobre a representação que o cronista português Fernão Lopes (1380-1460) realiza acerca da personagem Inês de Castro (1325-1355) na Crônica de D. Pedro I. A crônica régia é uma obra de natureza laica, sendo que sua interpretação sobre fatos do passado difere bastante das crônicas produzidas por clérigos na Baixa Idade Média. Considerando as especificidades desta fonte e as características do texto lopeano, refletimos sobre a aia castelhana que se tornou a preferida do rei português Pedro Cru, relacionando alguns pontos referentes à noção que o cronista criou sobre esta mulher.

A FEITICEIRA DE MICHELET E O IDEAL ROMÂNTICO DE HEROÍSMO
Authors: Dias Marcelo Mangini
Published: May 2018

A proposta para o presente artigo é, a partir de uma leitura da obra A Feiticeira, de Jules Michelet, verificar em que medida sua personagem-tema pode ser considerada uma espécie de paradigma do que chamaremos aqui de "herói micheletiano". Jules Michelet, um dos mais importantes representantes da historiografia francesa oitocentista tem sua narrativa marcada pela presença de heróis trágicos que se nos apresentam como modelos românticos de heroísmo. Não obstante, nossa hipótese é a de que o modelo, para Michelet, serve a um propósito maior, o de colocar como protagonista aquele que será, ao longo de toda a sua vasta obra, seu grande tema: o povo.

A política pendular de D. Fernando I de Portugal (1367-1383) e sua relação com o Cisma do Ocidente (1378-1383)
Authors: Girardi Leonardo
Published: May 2018

Inserido no conjunto maior constituído pela Guerra dos Cem Anos, o Cisma do Ocidente (1378-1417) se caracterizará sobretudo pelo rompimento do ideal unitário representado pela Cristandade Latina – através da criação de duas Sés Pontifícias – e pelo acirramento da guerra. Assim, veremos seus efeitos por todos os reinos cristão latinos, inclusive Portugal, que no momento era governado por D. Fernando I (1367-1383). Este irá desenvolver uma política denominada pela historiografia como “pendular”, por conta de suas idas e vindas entre um e outro partido originado com a guerra e o Cisma – tendo em vista a série de eventos que ocorriam na Península Ibérica, sobretudo baseados em Castela, e nos interesses internos do reino. Sendo assim, intentamos  nalisar detidamente como se dá esta política, de que forma se relaciona com o Cisma do Ocidente, seus desdobramentos e consequências, tanto no âmbito  xterno quanto interno português ao longo do reinado fernandino.

O presente artigo é o resultado dos estudos realizados por meio da pesquisa “Daniel Concina e a história do probabilismo (séculos XVI-XVIII)”, realizada com o apoio de uma bolsa de iniciação científica financiada pela FAPESP durante os anos de 2010 e 2011. Essa pesquisa relaciona-se com o grupo de estudos “Direitos e Justiça nas Américas”, coordenado por Rafael Ruiz, do Núcleo deEstudos Ibéricos da Escola de Filosofia Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Estuda-se, nesse grupo, como as leis dos séculos XVI ao XVIII eram relativizadas de modo a se criarem espaços de ambuiguidade entre estas e seu cumprimento. Nesse sentido, este artigo busca demonstrar como a Teologia Moral se relacionava com as questões jurídicas e políticas, e busca ressaltar, também, a importância desta como um objeto para a compreensão destas questões no que diz respeito à Península Ibérica.
“PARA LIVRAR DE TODO CATIVEIRO E PERSEGUIÇÃO”: LIBERDADE DE ESCRAVOS ATRAVÉS DE CARTAS DE ALFORRIA EM LARANJEIRAS, SERGIPE (1843-1881)
Authors: Bezerra Luiz Paulo Santos
Published: May 2018

No presente texto, pretende-se fazer uma análise descritiva de um conjunto de cartas de alforria registradas nos Livros de Notas de Laranjeiras, Sergipe, durante os períodos de 1843 a 1881. Esses registros de liberdade nos fornecem dados importantes sobre os escravos e senhores que viveram na zona do Cotinguiba, mais precisamente em Laranjeiras, onde o seu desenvolvimento econômico foi de grande relevância para Sergipe. Os resultados encontrados nesta pesquisa são parciais, pois, para uma melhor compreensão será necessário ainda, um cruzamento de outras fontes como, os inventários e testamentos post-mortem da mesma localidade. Dialogamos ainda com vários autores que tratam do mesmo temaem outras regiões do Brasil.

A MORTE, O LUTO E A MEMÓRIA: POSSIBILIDADE DE COMPREENSÃO SOCIOCULTURAL E HISTÓRICA
Authors: Morais Yan Bezerra de
Published: May 2018

Como a relação entre morte, luto e memória pode proporcionar meios de compreensão de aspectos socioculturais e históricos? Este artigo é parte das discussões de uma monografia em construção, e tem por objetivo contribuir com as atuais discussões e pesquisas ao apresentar algumas considerações historiográficas a partir de uma revisão de literatura que trata da morte e do luto, e suas características no percurso histórico, e que através da memória se tornam fontes de estudo social e cultural da experiência humana. A memória, desta forma, é o ponto de interseção entre os aspectos socioculturais que envolvem a morte, uma vez que é partir dos meios utilizados pelos indivíduos, grupos familiares ou comunidades para manter a lembrança sobre o ente que se foi, sobre as causas da morte e sobre a lida com essa morte, que o historiador ganha uma nova possibilidade de objeto de estudo.

ENTRE VÍCIOS E VIRTUDES: A SÁTIRA DOS GOLIARDOS MEDIEVAIS (SÉCULOS XI-XIII)
Authors: Ribas Helena Macedo
Published: May 2018

Durante o período conhecido como Idade Média, existiram diversas manifestações culturais que eram dinâmicas e circulavam entre as regiões de maior trânsito de pessoas, como as cidades. Essas manifestações tinham “públicos” mais ou menos específicos, como os trovadores que se apresentavam nas cortes nobiliárquicas, ou os jograis que eram mais comuns nas feiras, e isso determinava, entre outras coisas, as temáticas das canções. Temos outro segmento, pouco estudado, que são os goliardos, estudantes das universidades que escreviam em latim, paraoutros estudantes e doutos. O presente artigo visa explorar aspectos da poesia goliárdica medieval, com o objetivo de traçar algumas características da vida errante dos poetas goliardos, e de que forma esse modo de vida é representado em sua poesia.
SENHORAS DA CASA: UMA VISÃO SOBRE A IMPORTÂNCIA DO FEMININO NA SOCIEDADE EGÍPCIA DA XVIII DINASTIA
Authors: Scoville Priscila
Published: May 2018

Quando pensamos no Egito Antigo, comumente o imaginamos como uma região governada por homens, que recebem o título de faraó e exercem o poder sem questionamentos. É verdade que, para aquela sociedade, um dos deveres dos homens era o ato de conduzir, o que inclui o de governar; contudo, muitas mulheres tiveram papéis importantes no governo egípcio. Este trabalho visa mostrar as funções e a influência feminina aristocrática na religião e na política do Egito durante a XVIII dinastia, a partir do exemplo de algumas rainhas. Com isso, espera-se que o leitor supere a noção de que as mulheres foram passivas nesse período.

A CONSTRUÇÃO VISUAL DE UMA COMUNIDADE IMAGINADA PARANAENSE NAS COMEMORAÇÕES AO CENTENÁRIO DO PARANÁ (1953)
Authors: Nunes Alvaro Luiz
Published: May 2018

Este estudo tem como objetivo central investigar a participação das imagens fotográficas na construção da comunidade imaginada paranaense em duas revistas patrocinadas pelo governo e publicadas por ocasião do Centenário de Emancipação Política do Paraná, ocorrido em dezenove de dezembro de 1953, para rememorar o evento histórico de sua emancipação política. Através da análise do assunto das imagens, e depois de feita a seleção de um conjunto iconográfico de teor identitário, que neste estudo entendemos serem imagens que foram instrumentalizadas para representarem uma especificidade para o Paraná, tentaremos elencar alguns aspectos associados à uma nova identidade no âmbito da comunidade imaginada paranaense.

Authors: Holowate Isaias
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo faz um estudo da atuação do jornalista Hugo dos Reis na sociedade ponta-grossense entre os anos de 1908 e 1921. Tendo vindo do Rio de Janeiro em 1908, ele atuou em Ponta Grossa junto ao jornal local O Progresso – depois Diário dos Campos -, em diversas funções, sendo redator, diretor e posteriormente, proprietário do jornal. No periódico, promoveu o surgimento de uma classe de colaboradores da publicação, permitindo a presença de uma diversidade de representações sobre a sociedade daquele período.  Na pesquisa utiliza-se como fonte, as publicações dos jornais O Progresso e  Diário dos Campos e entre 1908 e 1921 e embasados pela teoria das Representações do historiador Roger Chartier, analisa-se os sentidos produzidos pelo jornalista sobre o meio social ao qual fez parte, compreendendo que as representações são socialmente construídas e se relacionam com o ambiente social e cultural em que seus signos são produzidos.
Religião Digital: As Identidades em Rede das Testemunhas de Jeová (2000-2013)
Authors: Arruda Vinicius Miro
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo traz resultados finais de pesquisa de iniciação científica desenvolvida com o apoio do CNPq, entre 2013 e 2014, cuja finalidade fora compreender o envolvimento das Testemunhas de Jeová, como instituição e indivíduos, com o espaço digital. Selecionamos para isso cinco endereços virtuais diferentes e os exemplares de periódicos publicados pela instituição que organiza o movimento religioso no período de 2000 a 2013.Com isso, pretendemos conjugar as advertências sobre a Internet divulgadas, ao longo da última década, nos impressos institucionais ao conteúdo dos seletos endereços virtuais, enfocando três aspectos: o papel social dado às novas mídias, a relação entre mídia e crítica e o câmbio de identidades a partir dos meios de comunicação, principalmente a Web. Percebemos nessa seleção documental a existência de divergentes usos das mídias de comunicação e formas de se relacionar com a tradição religiosa, a despeito de uma identidade Testemunha-de-Jeová única e homogênea.
(Con)Versions of Cats and Mice and Other Mouse Traps
Authors: Geller Jay
Published: May 2018

This chapter examines the possible connections between the staging of cat-mouse and cat-rat pairings by Franz Kafka and Heinrich Heine, on the one hand, and the asymmetrical and often violent power relations between Gentiles and Jews, on the other. It first, by means of a deconstruction of Michael Schmidt’s new-historicist article on Kafka’s “Little Fable,” interpellates Kafka’s posthumously published piece into a number of intertextual (including his letters to Milena Jesenská and the fragment “The Giant Mole”) and extratextual networks in order to suggest linkages between it and his situation as a Jew in Germanophone Central Europe in the early twentieth century. It then situates a late (c. 1852–55), also posthumously published, poem by Heine, “From the Age of Pigtails,” that he labeled a “fable” over and against the Jews’ acquisition and subsequent partial loss of civil rights in the first quarter of the nineteenth century as well as in relation to the tragic fate of Ludwig Marcus that accompanied the rise and fall of the Verein für Cultur und Wissenschaft der Juden. Bridging these two analyses is a discussion of the swarm of “Rat-” phonemes and morphemes that plagued Freud’s “Rat Man” case study and notes.
