Women Sustaining Community: The Politics of Agro-Ecology in Quilombo Tourism in Southern Brazil

This article analyses how a gendered perspective on community-based tourism (CBT) contributes to the realisation of identity and sovereignty of quilombos. It examines the potential sustainability of CBT coupled with agro-ecological practices within the context of gendered identity politics. Drawing from in-depth ethnographic and archival research conducted between February and July 2015 at Campinho da Independência (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the article discusses how female leaders integrate sustainable agro-ecological practices and CBT with environmental education in what they call ‘ethno-ecological tourism’. This approach to CBT strengthens a proudly defiant version of Afro-Brazilian ethnic identity vis-à-vis the state.

ALMOST,BUT NOT QUITE: THE FAILURE OF NEW YORK'S GET STATUTE

The quandary of Jewish women unable to remarry because of their husbands’ refusal to grant them religious divorces is a real problem affecting real people. Husbands are wielding this lopsided power to “extort” money from their wives, obtain favorable child custody settlements, property settlements, and child support payments. The burgeoning divorce rate is certain to exacerbate this problem. Already, this situation has garnered international attention. In the wake of New York's legislative attempt to remedy this problem, countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia, have promulgated legislative solutions to this dilemma. New York is the only state in the United States to pass such a statute. Unfortunately, New York's statute is flawed because it is of limited applicability and still allows for situations in which the Jewish wife is civilly divorced but religiously married. This Note proposes amending New York's statute to make it applicable to any and all divorce proceedings and to any barrier to remarriage. This Note will further recommend that the proposed amended statute should be adopted worldwide.

美学三题

人类审美个性与其普遍性文化功能是德国古典美学两主题 ,其间存在的逻辑矛盾与历史张力以及其审美个性研究的不够深入 ,都深刻地影响了 2 0世纪中国美学。以宗教为参照 ,可以深化审美个性研究 ,则审美是人类追求即时性感性精神愉悦的活动。审美感性是物质感性、具体感性和即时感性 ,这些决定了审美乃人类精神生活起点、大众文化之典型代表。审美是最世俗的人类精神活动 ,美学则是人类感性精神现象学 ,这当是当代美学基础理论研究的确当起点。在拓展人类精神世界的深度和广度上 ,审美较科学、宗教、哲学均远为逊色。     

后现代性与宗教走向

前现代性、现代性、后现代性意味着三种不同社会的范式转换或超越。宗教在其中呈现着不同特征:在前现代性中,宗教是一元的、垄断性的;在现代性中,宗教是多元的、具有世俗化的倾向;而在后现代性中,宗教除仍具有世俗化的倾向外,还具有灵性追求、教主崇拜、家庭式社区型小宗教团体等特征。这代表了后现代宗教的发展趋势。

Acts of Faith: Churches and Political Engagement

Many observers suggest that white evangelical Protestant churches serve to mobilize their members into politics, while others argue that they encourage withdrawal from political life. This paper reconciles these two claims. I hypothesize that the time members of evangelical Protestant denominations spend in service to their church comes at the expense of participation in the wider community, contrary to the way mainline Protestant and Catholic churches foster civic activity among their members. However, I further hypothesize that the tight social networks formed through this intensive church activity can at times facilitate rapid and intense political mobilization. Data from the Citizen Participation Study supports the first hypothesis, while applying King's method of ecological inference to two elections in Alabama supports the second.
