Indigenous rights and development : inequality constraints in Brazilian cities : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of International Development at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand

This thesis aims at identifying how indigenous rights, as part of a human rights approach to development, have been addressed by urban welfare policies in Brazil. As a starting point, this desk based study is primarily focused on an analysis of the impacts of urbanisation on indigenous livelihoods. Despite not being a new trend, urbanisation of indigenous people has exposed their situation of deprivation and disadvantage, and the increasing pressures of assimilation policies. Social indicators of urban indigenous communities’ wellbeing have pointed to a growing gap between indigenous and non-indigenous population. The access to distinct basic welfare provision is not only determinant in reducing disparities but would also represent the compliance of a state with the indigenous rights framework. This thesis investigates if and how the Brazilian social agenda is in compliance with and indigenous rights framework. The Brazilian government acknowledged Brazil as multi-ethnic, which is reflected in the domestic legal framework, and also in the ratification of international covenants and declarations related to indigenous rights. However, the need of the urban indigenous population for differentiated service provisions has represented a challenging matter in policy making. The existence of an implementation gap between the indigenous rights framework and their effective application is a relevant theme for analysis and evaluation, in order to identify the factors that are hindering state compliance with the standards that have already been legislated. To this regard, the experience of urban indigenous communities in Brazil is explored in two case studies, related to the Pankararu, in Sao Paulo, and the Terena, in Campo Grande. The outcomes of the mainstream welfare policies are also investigated through the lens of urban indigenous communities. Ultimately this thesis unveils the potential of the Brazilian state, as the duty-bearer of indigenous rights, as capable and responsible to unleash the realisation of indigenous expectations to overcome powerlessness, economic underdevelopment and cultural disruptions

\u3ci\u3eDeliberate Entanglements\u3c/i\u3e: The Impact of a Visionary Exhibition

The medium and metaphors of fiber have a history imbued with gender-based associations, predominantly tied to femininity. Although men have historically participated in the creation of textiles throughout the course of time, the role of women often overshadows them in proliferation and ubiquity of activity. In the 1960s, fiber as an expressive material became intertwined with and politicized by the feminist movement and fiber was frequently employed by artists to address socio-cultural hierarchies. The Men’s Movement also emerged in that era, having its own potential impact on the field of fiber. The layers of historic and cultural hegemony that have guided textile production play into contemporary fiber art and enrich the meaning of the work. These ideologies continue to shape textile art to varying degrees although artists have moved the dialog in new directions. Where do male textile artists fit into the discourse today? A panel of working male textile artists will discuss their experiences and perspectives on the gender roles that surround them and their work. How do male fiber artists use the medium to overtly address or transgress issues of gender constructs? For those artists who do not employ textiles to directly confront these topics, how do the underlying gender-based histories and currents influence their work? Have these artist been perceived as having turned to “women’s work” and how has that impeded or fueled them creatively and professionally? In the words of artist and educator Mark Newport, “masculine and fiber are not linked in our social consciousness.” What presumptions exist about the nature of the male fiber artist and what misconceptions do these artists confront? The panel will consider how identity politics play out in the hands of male makers and whether or not fiber has finally moved beyond the gender gap

Self-enforcing constitutional amendments rules: a dialogue with Richard Albert’s Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions

Richard Albert’s groundbreaking book Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions surely provides the most extensive analysis of constitutional amendments rules ever published. Particularly relevant is that, unlike part of the constitutional literature that overly stresses normative assumptions, Albert brings important insights about how constitutional amendment rules can influence certain outcomes and provide incentives for political players’ behaviors. By drawing from rational choice theory, this Article aims to show the value of self-enforcing constitutional amendment rules for constitutional design. Although Richard Albert does not directly work with rational choice language, he certainly knows how to operate some of its premises when examining cases, raising hypotheses, creating models, and suggesting constitutional frameworks. His book is a relevant example of how constitutional design, when not excessively dominated by normative assumptions that are taken for granted, can be the much-needed response to challenges that a strong reliance on those normative assumptions may fail to overcome

The methodology used was a bibliographic research with authors dealing with brand, branding, positioning, brand equity, integrated communication, marketing communication, internet and social networks. We conducted a descriptive research based on a questionnaire structured online on Facebook, with the purpose of understanding the relationship of the Brazilian public with the Kardashian brand and its relevance.

Direitos humanos

Apresenta a questão do uso de drogas como debate com grande número de opiniões discordantes de diversos atores sociais, envolvendo aspectos ligados aos direitos humanos, à licitude e ilicitude das substâncias psicoativas, do envolvimento de todas as camadas sociais e da frequente desumanização dos usuários das classes mais pobres e vulneráveis, excluídos dos recentes avanços das políticas públicas, destacando a tendência a sua internação como forma não de resolver, mas de esconder o problema que necessita ser entendido na dimensão humana, reconhecendo cidadania dos sujeitos, independentemente de seus transtornos mentais. Traça o histórico da conquista dos Direitos Humanos, de sua origem enquanto direitos naturais a sua consolidação no Estado Social, mostrando o avanço no reconhecimento de seu caráter universal e do conceito implícito de responsabilidade coletiva e solidária.
