The 2018 presidential election result in Brazil surprised and shocked many. Since then, numerous debates and a growing body of texts have attempted to understand the country’s so-called ‘conservative turn’. A gripping in-depth account of politics and society in Brazil today, this new volume brings together a myriad of different perspectives to help us better understand the political events that shook the country in recent years. Combining ethnographic insights with political science, history, sociology, and anthropology, the interdisciplinary analyses included offer a panoramic view on social and political change in Brazil, spanning temporal and spatial dimensions. Starting with the 2018 presidential election, the contributors discuss the country’s recent –or more distant– past in relation to the present. Pointing to the continuities and disruptions in the course of those years, the analyses offered are an invaluable guide to unpacking and understanding the limits of Brazilian democracy, including what has already come to pass, but also what is yet to come.

A experiência legislativa brasileira durante a atual crise sanitária causada pelo Covid- 19 não apenas configura elemento político básico de conjuntura, mas, também, fenômeno de grande interesse no debate acadêmico sobre a inserção do Congresso no processo decisório de produção de políticas públicas. Desde os estudos pioneiros de Argelina Figueiredo e Fernando Limongi nos anos 90 do século passado, algum consenso se formou na literatura especializada sobre a liderança do Executivo, o presidente e seus ministros, na organização da agenda a tramitar no Congresso, tanto no que diz respeito ao ritmo de tramitação, quanto no que tange ao conteúdo das matérias.

This is the first book to analyse the full cycle of rise and fall of Brazil's foreign policy towards Africa in the beginning of the 21st century. During his government, former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) made the drive towards Africa one of the cornerstones of Brazilian diplomacy and cooperation. In a bid to build strategic trading partnerships with African counterparts, Lula’s government committed itself to an ambitious program centred on provisions in loans and credits as well as the exponential growth of its South-South cooperation. After Lula, however, this drive towards Africa started to decline and finally collapsed in face of political meltdown in Brazil and the proliferation of controversial judicial investigations that directly involved political leaders at the centre of most initiatives undertook in the 2000s. The rise and fall of Brazil-Africa relations has provoked much discussion in policy-making, as well as scholarly research. This book seeks to provide valuable resources to the study of this process by presenting empirically based and updated analysis from different perspectives, such as: The diplomatic tradition of Brazil-Africa relations The role played by Brazilian big private companies in Africa Brazilian health cooperation with African countries The participation of civil society in Brazil-Africa relations Brazil-Africa trade relations Military cooperation between Brazil and Africa Brazil’s drive to Africa left a durable mark, whose implications are yet to be understood. What were its main successes and failures? And what does the dramatic change of events, with Brazil moving from a pivotal player to an almost invisible one in merely half a decade, tell us about South-South cooperation? These are some of the questions that Brazil-Africa Relations in the 21st Century – From Surge to Downturn and Beyond intends to answer in order to provide a useful resource for Political Science and International Relations scholars interested in the study of South-South relations, as well as for policy makers interested in understanding the changing dynamics of International Relations in the wake of the 21st century.

Rien n’est plus difficile que d’appréhender ou de présenter des cultures aussi singulières, multiformes et instables que celles qui forment le Brésil. À cela s’ajoute la difficulté de retenir, ne serait-ce que pour un seul instant, le caractère insaisissable du phénomène théâtral. Parler de théâtre brésilien n’eût été rien moins qu’une manière arbitraire de prétendre à une unité qui ne tient pas au regard de l’histoire théâtrale et politique du Brésil. Recourir au pluriel dans le titre de cet ouvrage scientifique Les théâtres brésiliens correspond donc à une façon de nommer une hétérogénéité historique, anthropologique, esthétique, scénique et poétique, à l’intérieur même de São Paulo. Revenant sur l’hétérogénéité des influences esthétiques et idéologiques qui ont marqué la pratique théâtrale, du théâtre de Brecht à l’influence de la performance, cet ouvrage collectif revient sur une histoire du théâtre qui commence dans les années 1960 jusqu’à nos jours. En sollicitant les universitaires de l’USP, ainsi que les figures centrales de la mise en scène et de la pratique théâtrale, Les théâtres brésiliens fait le point sur une activité théâtrale qui concerne aussi bien la théorisation des formes scéniques, que l’activité créatrice d’acteurs et de metteurs en scène contmeporains. Les analyses et les entretiens se lisent alors comme une contribution majeure, faite de témoignages de praticiens et de contributions universitaires, à même de permettre une compréhension de l’histoire politique et scénographique du théâtre du XXIe siècle.

O burocrata. O ativista. A imagem que vem à cabeça é a do funcionário observando, da janela de sua sala com ar condicionado, um protesto na rua. E se os dois adjetivos se referirem à mesma pessoa? E se o Estado, tido como espaço frio e anônimo, guardar em seus bastidores o calor vibrante da experimentação, as controvérsias, as interpretações, os fios que se ligam a complexas redes internas e externas? E se as instituições, descritas pela ciência política em geral como contextos determinantes – até mesmo restritivos – da ação dos indivíduos, mostrarem-se habitadas por atores com agência? E se os servidores públicos não agirem nem como tecnocratas autocentrados, nem com a idealização dos heróis, mas se revelarem empenhados em avançar valores de igualdade e justiça? E se tudo isso já vinha acontecendo, de modo invisível, em cenários diversos do Estado, esperando apenas que as lentes da pesquisa se direcionassem a eles e que se inaugurassem percepções, questões e conceitos teóricos? Este livro é um convite à criatividade: à que foi demonstrada no ambiente inóspito da burocracia; à que foi exigida na pesquisa e na compreensão do inesperado; e, agora, à do leitor, para que possa ter outra perspectiva do Estado e, a partir do que aqui se vislumbra, abrir-se ao imprevisível. Em um piscar de olhos, o contexto já mudou, a história é desafiada e as ações ativistas podem aparecer com outros contornos, de onde menos se imagina.
