Item Com Defeito de Fabricação e a "Estética do Plágio" de Tom Zé: um "Manifesto Antropófago" pós-moderno/pós-colonialista(Taylor & Francis Group, 39259) Rollefson, J. GriffithEm seu CD lançado em 1998, Com Defeito de Fabricação, o cantor e compositor Tom Zé articula os discursos da pós-modernidade e do pós-colonialismo. Mais do que simplesmente tocar em vários aspectos “pós”’, Zé elabora a partir deles um manifesto atualizado, tomando como premissa o “Manifesto Antropófago” de Oswald de Andrade, de 1928. O ex-músico da Tropicália propõe uma “Estética do Plágio” como forma de apropriação e posterior reformulação dos produtos do tecnocapitalismo ocidental. Nesta discussão, defenderei que o compositor reconfigura os tropos modernista e colonialista do primitivismo e da antropofagia de maneira pós-moderna e pós-colonialista subversivamente “tecnofílica” – uma contestação encarnada na figura do “andróide defeituoso” do disco.Item Transformative spaces in the social reintegration of former child soldier young mothers in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Northern Uganda(American Psychological Association, 2017-02) Veale, Angela; Worthen, Miranda; McKay, SusanA significant but insufficiently considered category of female former child soldiers is those that become mothers as a result of rape or through relationships with “bush husbands”. This article reflects on learning from a participatory action research (PAR) study which aimed to facilitate the social reintegration of formerly associated young mothers and other war-affected vulnerable young mothers in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and northern Uganda. We argue that it is useful to delineate 3 nodes of individual-community relations which we identify as possible transformative spaces in psychosocial programming for social reintegration: the intersection between individual emotional experience and the emotional climate, between individual agency and public engagement, and between individual and community resilience. The PAR study involved 658 young war-affected mothers across 20 communities in the 3 countries. The results demonstrate how the PAR mobilized positive emotions and aligned the activities of the young mothers’ groups with individuals with power to facilitate change (community leaders) and contributed to limited transformative change. Further research is needed on engaging men and on tackling structural factors in interventions with war-affected young mothers.Item International parental migration and the psychological well-being of children in Ghana, Nigeria, and Angola(Elsevier Ltd, 2015-05) Mazzucato, Valentina; Cebotari, Victor; Veale, Angela; White, Allen; Grassi, Marzia; Vivet, Jeanne; Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek; New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency Co-operation in Europe (NORFACE), the NetherlandsWhen parents migrate, leaving their children in the origin country, transnational families are formed. Transnational family studies on children who are “left behind” indicate that children suffer psychologically from parental migration. Many of the factors identified as affecting children's responses to parental migration however are not considered in child psychology and family sociology studies. This study aims to bridge these areas of knowledge by quantitatively investigating the association between transnational families and children's psychological well-being. It analyzes a survey conducted in three African countries in 2010–11 (Ghana N = 2760; Angola N = 2243; Nigeria N = 2168) amongst pupils of secondary schools. The study compares children in transnational families to those living with their parents in their country of origin. Children's psychological well-being is measured through the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Multiple regression analyses reveal that children in transnational families fare worse than their counterparts living with both parents but not in Ghana where living conditions mediate this relationship. This paper also looks at four characteristics of transnational families and finds that specific characteristics of transnational families and country contexts matter: (1) changing caregivers is associated with poorer well-being in all countries; (2) which parent migrates does not make a difference in Ghana, when mothers migrate and fathers are caregivers results in poorer well-being in Nigeria, and both mother's and father's migration result in worse outcomes in Angola; (3) the kin relationship of the caregiver is not associated with poorer well-being in Ghana and Nigeria but is in Angola; (4) children with parents who migrate internationally do not show different results than children whose parents migrate nationally in Ghana and Nigeria but in Angola international parental migration is associated with poorer psychological well-being. The study shows that broader characteristics in the population rather than parental migration per se are associated with decreased levels of well-being.Item Existing and emerging powers in the G20: the case of East Asia(German Association for Asian Studies, 2013-07) Duggan, Niall; Tiberghien, YvesOver the last twenty years, global financial integration and global financial volatility have greatly increased. The 2008 crisis represented a peak in the vulnerability of all countries around the world with regard to global financial volatility. In response to this volatility and as the first line of defense, states have used a growing array of domestic tools: monetary policy, fiscal policy, financial regulatory reforms, domestic security market reforms, occasional capital controls, or the accumulation of financial reserves. Although the G20 was formed in 1999, it did not begin to take center stage in global economic governance until the global financial crisis that started in 2008. Since 2008, systemically important states - both established and aspiring powers - have taken the further steps of committing to increased global financial governance and becoming more integrated into the G20. East Asia is a region which contains a number of systemically important states, both existing economies and emerging ones. East Asian state actorsâ involvement in the G20 is used as a case study to analyze the relevance of the unfolding G20 process. Does this G20 process matter? If so, what explains key statesâ willingness to engage in it and accept new institutional constraints? What exactly drives the commitment process under the G20?Item Chicano identity and discourses of supplementarity on Mexican cinema: from ‘The Man Without a Fatherland’ (Contreras Torres: 1922) to ‘Under the Same Moon’ (Riggen: 2008)(Latin American Centre, University of Aarhus (LACUA), 2009-01-01) de la Garza, ArmidaA radical change took place in Mexican narratives of belonging during the 1990s, when NAFTA was first negotiated. Narratives of migration drastically changed the status of Mexican migrants to the US, formerly derided as ‘pochos’, presenting them as model citizens instead. Following Derrida, I argue the role of the migrant became that of a supplement, which is, discursively, at the same time external to and part of a given unit, standing for and allowing deeper transformations to take place in the whole discourse of bilateral relations and national identity more generally. I use Derrida’s concept of the supplement to discuss changing representations of Chicanos in Mexican cinema, and to assess the extent that they have succeeded in reframing the discourse on national identity, with a focus on gender.
