The Response of the Japanese-Brazilian Community of São Paulo to the Triple Disaster of 2011
Disaster, Donations, and Diaspora: The Response of the Japanese-Brazilian Community of São Paulo to the Triple Disaster of 2011 Peter Bernardi The triple disaster or 3/11, the devastating combination of earthquake, tsunami and the meltdown of reactors at the nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi that happened in Japan on March 11, 2011, was a globally reported catastrophe. The Japanese diasporic communities especially demonstrated their willingness to help, organize campaigns and send donations. While a commitment to restor- ing and relating to the homeland in some way confirms William Safran’s (1991: 84) initial criteria for diasporas, the study of the Japanese diasporic communi- ties’ response to 3/11 also offers insights into these communities and their status. This paper offers an analysis of the impact of 3/11 drawn from the reaction of the Japanese-Brazilian diaspora in São Paulo. Although initiatives to help Japan were started throughout Brazil, São Paulo hosts the largest and most influential nikkei community that organized the biggest campaigns. Furthermore, the ar- ticle is my attempt to relate observed connections between disaster, donations and diaspora. I had originally scheduled fieldwork on Japanese immigration for March 2011, but after arriving in Brazil on March 12, reactions to the catas- trophes of 3/11 were a constant topic in many encounters and overlapped my intended research on the nikkei community of São Paulo. Donations played an important role, and in this article I argue that help (especially financial) after 3/11 was not only about Japan but also the self-perception of the nikkei community in São Paulo. -

It focuses on the recent proliferation of neo-Pentecostalism among Brazilian football players living abroad and the importance of religion in their daily lives. Serving as a civilizing device that promotes better insertion of individuals in modern institutions, neo-Pentecostalism promotes voluntary obedience, self-control, self-awareness and reflexivity, by encouraging the conscious and constant monitoring of the individual over the body and emotions. This self-discipline has a limit, and the Theology of Prosperity offers conciliation between asceticism and material consumption. Football provides religion a large stage for its preaching, allowing it to reach billions of homes. The athletes become “selfless soldiers of the Word,” who demonstrate the faith globally and disseminate banal religion through the mediascape. Keywords: Football, Religion, neo-Pentecostalism, Football Players, Banal Religion, Emigration Resumo O artigo trata das relações entre futebol e religião. -

Marxism and the Solidarity Economy: Toward a New Theory of Revolution Abstract In the twenty-first century, it is time that Marxists updated the conception of socialist revolution they have inherited from Marx, Engels, and Lenin. Slogans about the “dictatorship of the proletariat” “smashing the capitalist state” and carrying out a social revolution from the commanding heights of a reconstituted state are completely obsolete. In this article I propose a reconceptualization that accomplishes several purposes: first, it explains the logical and empirical problems with Marx’s classical theory of revolution; second, it revises the classical theory to make it, for the first time, logically consistent with the premises of historical materialism; third, it provides a (Marxist) theoretical grounding for activism in the solidarity economy, and thus partially reconciles Marxism with anarchism; fourth, it accounts for the long-term failure of all attempts at socialist revolution so far. -

Council Democratic” Movements in the First World War Era: a Comparative-Historical Study of the German and Italian Cases
The London School of Economics and Political Science “Council Democratic” Movements in the First World War Era: A Comparative-Historical Study of the German and Italian Cases Babak Amini A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, March 2021 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 100,299 words. 2 Abstract Practical engagements with and theoretical reflections on “council democracy” have resurfaced periodically in the past, most notably in the interwar period, in the “long 1960s”, and since the turn of the century. There is a relative gap in the literature to analyze “council democracy” both comparatively, rather than singularly as individual empirical cases or intellectual currents, and as social movements, rather than primarily as theoretical debates or intellectual traditions. This thesis offers a comparative-historical analysis of some of the earliest and most radical instances of “council democratic” movements that developed after the First World War in Germany (1918-1919) and Italy (1919-1920) by looking at the processes that contributed to their emergence and their trajectories, using a strategic-relational approach. -

The Consular Function in the 21st Century A report for Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada George Haynal, Michael Welsh, Louis Century & Sean Tyler 27 March 2013 Project Overview In January 2013, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade commissioned the University of Toronto Munk School of Global Affairs to undertake (i) a review of academic literature and (ii) a survey of intergovernmental agreements dealing with consular affairs. Consular affairs was defined as services to citizens seeking assistance or protection prior to and during travel, work or residence abroad. The study was carried out between January 28 and March 15 and involved searches of the Internet, University of Toronto libraries, and court documentation in Canada. English-language materials made up the bulk of the literature under consideration. A preview of the results of the study was provided to DFAIT on February 25; the principal oral and document presentation was provided to Mr. W. Crosbie, Assistant Deputy Minister, DFAIT, on March 13. The final report containing this overview and report, an annotated bibliography and a review of international agreements, was submitted on March 27, 2013. There are three components of this research, each of which may be viewed as a stand- alone document. This document consolidates all three components: 1.

Railway Workers and the Popular Front in France, 1936-1938
1 Extending Democracy: Railway Workers and the Popular Front in France, 1936-1938. Thomas Beaumont Abstract French railway workers played no part in the historic Popular Front strikes and workplace occupations of May-June 1936. Yet, in November 1938, this group of workers placed themselves in the vanguard of attempts to defend the social legislation passed by the Blum government. Both events have been analysed as evidence of the reformist aims and materialist calculations of French railway workers in the interwar period. Following the failure of the 1920 General Strike, railway workers are understood to have renounced political militancy, embracing a narrow corporatist vision of industrial relations. Their attempted participation in the 30 November 1938 General Strike has been similarly read as a defence of material interests. In contrast to such views this article argues that railway trade unionism in the Popular Front period built upon well-developed communist policies emphasizing workplace dignity and the extension of worker power within both the railway industry and capitalism more widely. Rather than pursuing purely materialist calculations, union policy sought to defend a vision for French industrial relations predicated upon shared responsibility and partnership between management and labour in economic decision making. Such an analysis raises questions regarding the wider meaning of the Popular Front for French workers and its longer term significance in contemporary French history. Key Words Popular Front, France, Communists, Communism, Railway Workers, 1936, Strikes, Trades unions, Industrial Relations. Introduction In the summer of 1936 France was rocked by a wave of strikes and workplace occupations. Drawing upon support from workers across large sections of the French economy, this strike movement has come to occupy a seminal moment in twentieth-century French history, inaugurating a then unprecedented, though short lived, period of social reform and industrial democracy in French 2 society.
