Autoria: Daniele, G.
Resumo: This article aims to rethink intersectional sites of solidarity carried out by coalitions of heterogeneous groups coming up from the margins of society. From this standpoint, I analyse intersectional politics through practices and processes led by feminist and other social justice grassroots activists together with citizen activists, that have helped give rise to political visibility of marginalised communities inside Israel. To address this issue, I critically discuss the interconnection of political intersectionality, coalition building, citizen activism, and its implications not only at the grassroots level, but also in local politics and institutions. This research is based on extensive fieldwork that took place in 2016 and 2018 in the most peripheral neighbourhoods of south Tel Aviv. In detail, I explore the role of one of the most well-known Israeli Mizrahi feminist movements called Ahoti (Sister) — for Women in Israel, in creating intersectional coalitions with other marginalised groups that mainly include long-term Mizrahi residents, non-Jewish African refugees and migrant workers. This cooperation between feminist activists historically engaged in grassroots movements together with citizen activists involved in new local struggles represents an original intersectional approach to multidisciplinary feminist research.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZGreetings in Africa – Beyond the handshake: An essay on greeting and leave-taking rituals as communication practice in Sub-Saharan African agrarian societiesSchiefer, U.Carvalho, A.

Resumo: In African Agrarian Societies greeting and leave-taking rituals are an essential part of the communication processes that constitute these societies as collective entities. Through elaborate forms of greeting and leave-taking people initiate and end communication and interaction processes within a framework of collective identities and cultures. Intricate greeting rituals allow to deal with all forms of encounters, with living people as well as with the spirits of the deceased. Greeting rituals are acquired through lengthy periods of learning. Their mastery is the sign of being an adult and competent member of society. External actors from different cultures often seem to be unaware of the subtleties of these greeting rituals. They ignore them at a cost. This essay provides some insights into the inner workings of African societies concerning the framing of most of their internal and external communication processes that are as vital for their lifeworlds as they are for their interaction with external actors from different spheres. Analysing the societies in a comprehensive manner as self-organising entities within an ethnic matrix clearly shows the limits of reducing greeting rituals to mere speech acts between individuals and proves that some of the fundamental assumptions of modern communication theories are not valid for African Agrarian Societies.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZImages urbaines.

Resumo: Cet article analyse des évolutions d’images et de pratiques sociales qui ont eu cours dans un espace lisboète entre la fin du xixe siècle et les années 1930. L’objectif est de montrer que la reconnaissance du caractère urbain n’est pas une donnée en soi qui accompagnerait automatiquement la transformation physique d’un territoire. Il faut distinguer le territoire de la ville du territoire de l’urbain. On met en évidence un jeu permanent de réinterprétation des formes urbaines matérielles ou immatérielles. Les rapports entre les différentes temporalités locales ou globales évoluent en fonction des pôles identitaires de référence (Alcântara comme faubourg ouvrier, bastion républicain ou quartier populaire).2006-01-01T00:00:00ZAbout-face: the United States and Portuguese colonialism in 1961Rodrigues, L.

Autoria: Rodrigues, L. N.
Resumo: In 1961, the Kennedy Administration decided to adopt a new African policy, supporting self- determination and independence. This change occurred while the war against Portuguese colonial rule erupted in Angola. Acting in accordance with the principles adopted by the administration, the American Ambassador in Lisbon informed the Portuguese government of this new policy and recommended the urgent adoption of reforms in the Portuguese territories in Africa. When, in March, the situation in Angola was brought to debate in the United Nations, the United States voted in favor of a defeated resolution condemning Portuguese colonialism. Needless to say, this action provoked a serious crisis in Portuguese-American relations.2004-01-01T00:00:00Z
