In the effort to repatriate lands to the descendants of quilombolas or fugitive slaves, the Brazilian government, together with the Brazilian Anthropological Association, and Black Movement activists, turned rural black communities into national patrimony through a series of public policies that emphasize their ethnic and cultural difference by connecting them to quilombo ancestors. Article 68 of the 1988 Brazilian constitution declared that any descendants of quilombos who were still occupying their ancestor’s lands should be recognized as owners and granted land titles by the federal government. With the help of NGOs, rural black communities are re-learning their identity and becoming quilombos in order to obtain the land and social rights they need to continue surviving. While the quilombo clause may seem like an important historical change in the ability of black Brazilians to use the constitution to their advantage, it is important to ask what the stakes are of becoming a quilombo for the residents of a community.

They had replaced former employees, one who’d mar- ried and moved away, the other who’d gone to work in San Antonio for the DA there. They were an interesting contrast: Olivia, the tall, willowy brunette, and Bernie, the slender blonde with long, thick platinum blond hair. They’d known each other since grammar school and they were friends. It made for a relaxed, happy office atmosphere.

It used to be that the category of political cinema was understood to designate a body of work with a very determinate political orientation. When Comolli and Narboni wrote about political cinema in the late 1960s, they were writing about a cinematic practice defined by its opposition to the capitalist status quo and aiming at the transformation of the social world. But as Marxism has suffered a crisis over the last decades, so has the concept of a political cinema, which has since lost its specificity. I claim that since the late sixties there has been a shift in ideas and practices concerning political cinema: a class-oriented, anti-capitalist conception of politics has given way to a conception of politics that is primarily, though not exclusively, identity-oriented.

  • Wirethe December 2011
    wireTHE December 2011 www.royalsignals.mod.uk The Magazine of The Royal Corps of Signals A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM THE MASTER OF SIGNALS Lieutenant General Robert Baxter CBE DSc FBCS CITP FIET The year has not been an easy one with the first tranches of redundancy and sadly more to follow. All that I would say here is that the quality of our people remains something very special and attractive to any employer with their heads screwed on: a message I deliver at any and every opportunity. The year has also seen some real successes: the initial difficulties with Falcon being overcome; and the roll out of the latest version of Bowman with the Corps very much in the lead. And of course our operational performance in Afghanistan, Libya and around the world remains a source of immense pride to me as we deliver signals intelligence, communication and information systems and electronic counter measures. Sadly we have also seen deaths and injuries and I know that our thoughts and best wishes are with those left behind and those coping with serious injuries. Our Royal Colonel, Princess Anne, has had a number of excellent visits and medal parades. I get the impression that you and your families really enjoy these events. Her Royal Highness certainly does and so do I. Well done to those involved as you have shown the Corps off to excellent effect. On my own visits thank you for your patience in explaining some of the complex and challenging things you do to someone, me, who was brought up in an era of punch cards and main frame computers! More seriously I am very impressed with what you achieve as soldiers, technically and on the sports field.

  • Lesley Bronwyn Harrison Thesis
    Behind the Boomgate: A short story cycle and accompanying exegesis Lesley Bronwyn Harrison M.Ed (Research), M.Ed, B.Ed Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne 2015 i Abstract This PhD research consists of two elements —an artefact of sixteen inter-related short stories in the form of a short story cycle titled Behind the Boomgate and an exegesis. The research explores the effects of a lack of affordable accommodation and the lack of a Residential Residency Act on the permanent residents of Tasmanian caravan parks. It also considers the relationship between research methodology, creative practice, and activism. The project has a threefold practice-led methodology. The project’s process is not a linear procedure but a cyclic and bottom-up application (Mafe & Brown, 2006). Firstly, it considers research for practice and documents the use of conventional research methods to provide knowledge about the content and the context for the artefact (Webb, 2008). Secondly, the project considers research into practice that generates knowledge about the techniques, approaches and thinking on the making of the artefact (Webb, 2008). The exegesis explores auto-ethnographic interpretation, social action realist writing’s ability to expose injustices, considers the question of appropriate genre, and interrogates the specific creative techniques open to me as a writer. Thirdly, the project addresses research through practice to generate knowledge about social, political and cultural issues (Webb, 2008) in the form of the artefact. Through interaction with exegetical research, a social activist short story cycle is produced. The short story cycle is executed through the setting of Brackwell Caravan Park on the Taylor River.
