  • The Theater As a Common Good: Artists, Activists and Artivists on Stage Simone Maddanu
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Peer-reviewed article Volume 10 (1-2): 70 - 91 (2018) Maddanu, Theater as a Common Good The theater as a common good: artists, activists and artivists on stage Simone Maddanu Abstract Based on interviews and ethnographic observation, this article analyzes the experience of political activists and artists during and after the occupation of the Teatro Valle, in Rome, an historical national theater. The occupiers experimented with new forms of management of the theater schedule and theater laboratory. At first their action focused on the job insecurity of artists and lack of funding for culture. Therefore, they switched into a commons- based principle incorporating a conceptualization of culture in the form of an “immaterial common good”. Thus struggling throughout the “commons” becomes a vehicle to radically criticize neoliberalism and private market, and to affirm new citizen expectations against political institutions. The paper aims to problematize both the artist and political activist approach. During the occupation of the theater, their practice led to the effective medley of their practices, interests and orientations: political stance and artistic experiments are combined in the occupied theater. After their eviction from the theater, according to our ethnographic observations during the weekly plenary assembly of the group, the political praxis appears to prevail upon the artistic side of the group. Without a physical place where to experiment the alternative proposal, the former occupiers still conveys the utopia of a Theatre as a symbol of an alternative institution through their plays. Keywords: activist-artivist, alternative institution, collective action, immaterial common goods, subjectivity, theater, urban commons.

  • 1. Brazil's “Comfortable Racial Contradiction”
    1. Brazil’s “Comfortable Racial Contradiction” In 2013, Brazilian journalist Paulo Henrique Amorim was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison, a sentence later upheld by Brazil’s Superior Tribunal de Justiça (Superior Court of Justice).1 His crime? He had publicly criticized the powerful Brazilian media network Rede Globo for denying that racism exists in Brazil, and he had called out one particular journalist, Heraldo Pereira, for going along with this denial, describing him as a “negro de alma branca” (black with a white soul). Amorim was later accused of racismo (racism) and injúria racial (racial insult, or an “injury to one’s honor”; see Racusen 2004:789) by both the network and Heraldo Pereira, and was found guilty of the latter. Amorim, who is politically lib- eral and often at the center of controversy, used as part of his defense the fact that he has long publicly supported antiracist efforts. He argued that he was merely exercising his freedom of speech in order to disagree with Pereira’s implicit suggestion that any black person could work hard and become rich and famous in Brazil. Despite Amorim’s desire to make Brazil’s structural racism more visible, the expression that he chose to describe Pereira allowed the powerful (and conservative) media network and the courts to find him personally guilty of racism toward another individual. As the prosecutor explained, his use of this “highly racist” expression: sugere que as pessoas de cor branca possuem atributos positivos e bons, ao passo que os negros são associados a valores negativos, ruins, inferiores.

  • Theatre of the Oppressed: Linking Research, Political Commitment and Pedagogical Perspectives1
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n3p43 THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED: LINKING RESEARCH, POLITICAL COMMITMENT AND PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVES1. Alessandro Tolomelli2 Abstract: The intellectual path of Augusto Boal ran parallel with his own life. “A path made by walking”, we can say using Machado’s words. In my personal experience, working as an educator I discovered the necessity of a pedagogical framework to sustain the practice; thinking as educationalist I realized the importance of the political meanings of education; acting as a Theatre of the Oppressed professional I understood the importance of keeping links between theory and praxis, personal and academic research. To summarize, in this paper I try to connect some points between pedagogy, politics and research using the method of the Theatre of the Oppressed as a framework. The first part described the reasons of my interest in the Pedagogy of the Oppressed (P. Freire) and then on the Theatre of the Oppressed (A. Boal). Later on, the focus is on the meaning of the words ‘theatre’ and ‘oppression’ to explain the aims and the roots of the Theatre of the Oppressed. At the end of the paper the project is presented: “TOgether”, a European research-action path aimed at constructing a curriculum for the Theatre of the Oppressed trainer as well as experimenting with the aesthetic potential of the method. Keywords: Pedagogy. Education. Theatre of the Oppressed. Augusto Boal. Paulo Freire. 1 INTRODUCTION. BIOGRAFICAL REASONS FOR ENGAGED RESEARCH My first approach with the Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire dates back about 25 years to when I was a young university student and social educator in my home city of Bologna.

  • A History of Portuguese Economic Thought
    A history of Portuguese economic thought A History of Portuguese Economic Thought offers the first account in English of the development of economic thought in Portugal. The volume covers from the golden age of the Discoveries until the end of the first half of the twentieth century. It presents the main features of Portuguese economic literature and provides a summary of the theoretical and economic policy problems that have been identified and discussed by Portuguese economists over the last five centuries. The authors adopt a comparative approach to analyse how economic doctrine, theories and policies have been disseminated and assimilated by Portuguese authors in different periods. They assess the influence on Portuguese economic thought of major economists such as say, Smith, Jevons, Walras, Pareto and Keynes. The volume argues that national histories of economic thought are not only useful for the extra knowledge they provide but also for their contribution to the renewal of a valuable historiographic tradition which explores marginalised historical and intellectual discourses. António Almodovar is Assistant Professor of the History of Economic Thought at the University of Oporto. He is the author of several books in Portuguese on the history of economic thought and is a member of the advisory board of the European Journal of the History of Economic Thought. José Luís Cardoso is Associate Professor of the History of Economic Thought at the Technical University of Lisbon. He has published several articles and books in Portuguese and is the general editor of the series Classics of Portuguese Economic Thought, published by the Bank of Portugal.
