A entrada de Angola na economia neoliberal e o fim da guerra civil deram a Luanda o aspecto de um canteiro de obras que visava conferir a ela o status de cidade global. Todavia, as mudanças econômicas advindas das relações (assimétricas) com o capital internacional não foram capazes de obliterar a permanência de desigualdades e da lógica espacial de exclusão incrustrada na urbe. Tomando esse contexto e as concepções de literatura-mundo definidas por membros do Warwick Research Collective (2015), o artigo analisa as contradições do sistema-mundo capitalista no romance Os transparentes (2013), de Ondjaki, compreendido aqui como expressão cultural da lógica contraditória da modernidade.

In 2013, Sharrell D. Luckett formed the Performance Studies & Arts Research Collective, which encourages members to explore their identities through the arts. Around this time, Audrey Edwards and Megan J. Stewart—both African American females and Collective members—became interested in autoethnography, and Luckett invited them to study closely with her. In this performative essay, Luckett, Edwards, and Stewart implicitly highlight various power negotiations enacted as professor/student, actress/stage manager, actress/assistant director, and mentor/mentee, while all working on their own autoethnographies, and while working collectively on Luckett's autoethnographic performance: YoungGiftedandFat.

The authors begin the book with „Who “we” are‟….which puts them in the context of their childhood and young age which was influenced by the Nationalist Movement, Charisma od Gandhiji, Alexander Dumas, Maxim Gorky, Mulk Raj Anand, and many other worlds and national phenomena. They also talk about their detachment for the first-hand experiences of the troubled and tortured as they were coming from the upper middle class Hindu savarna families. In the process of narrowing down the whole idea of movements related to women‟s issues, the authors have selected four major areas namely sexual violence, health, work, and legal campaigns. They also excluded the collection of case studies form their preview. By 1984, they came up with their first office with the name” the Women‟s Decade Research Collective- WDRC. In 1985, they got a grant from the ISS Holland. By 1986 their struggle started in the various parts of India to collect the stories/ data/ cases and documents. Their train journey from Assam to Benaras to Madhya Pradesh taught them to be a part of the daily struggle put up by the women across India. The action program got strengthened by the little surveys they took and the information and advice they picked up during the journey. The women‟s movement has no beginning or “origin”. It exists as an emotion, anger deep within us. The women‟s movement history also is like notes in a cycle of rhythm; each is a eparate piece, yet a part of the whole.

Abstract In this essay the Warwick Research Collective (WReC) addresses the question of “what is and isn’t changing” in literary studies by reflecting on the material conditions that structure its disciplinary workscape. The essay notes that the pressures of a specifically academic form of capitalism, responding to and flourishing in a period of institutional crisis, tend to replicate top-down, marketized models of academic entrepreneurship in the ways we read. Departing from more widely favored models of “collaboration” and “interdisciplinarity” as solutions to this problem, the essay reflects instead on the history and potential of the collective as a form of self-organized, nonhierarchical knowledge production. It argues that the interlinked crises of how to read in world-literary terms, and on what scale, unavoidably index more general crises of the humanities and of academic labor when considered against the backdrop of an unstable neoliberal hegemony, particularly that of the mass automatization and shedding of labor. The essay concludes by considering political and literary examples of collaborative authorship before addressing the question of WReC’s own process, a form of joint working-through that the collective regards as fundamental to any emancipatory politics.

We shortly introduce some main ideas of a project of scientific research collective “School” (Shkola) led by academic V.V. Davydov. The collective elaborated a new project — “Concept of preschool education” [9] that would better meet the developmental and educational needs of young children and create the basis for learning activity at school. The project has inspired development of playworld pedagogy in Sweden and Finland. Now 30 years later, attempts to design systems of developmental early childhood education try to concretize central concepts of Davydov’s project. This article presents interpretation and elaboration of the main ideas of the project in playworld pedagogy developed in Scandinavian early childhood education. We propose a systematic transition from joint adult — children play, to independent children initiated play. Children’s personality development presupposes esthetic reaction and contradictory unity of affect and intellect in narrative role play. We have concluded that present attempts to design new developmental early childhood education programs cannot forget the ideas of the collective from the 1990’s.

Tomando como ponto de partida teórico a proposta teórica de Warwick Research Collective no presente ensaio propõe-se uma análise comparativa de Campo de Trânsito de Jõao Paulo Borges Coelho e Life & Times of Michael K, de J.M. Coetzee. A análise foca as modalidades narrativas através das quais os autores driblam entre as formas alegóricas e diretas de reflexão sobre as realidades mundiais e locais.

Purpose The Participatory Autism Research Collective (PARC) was initially set up with the purpose of bringing autistic people, including scholars and activists (but not exclusively), together with early career researchers and practitioners who work with autistic people, with the aim being to build a community where those who wished to see more significant involvement of autistic people in autism research could share knowledge and expertise. This paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the development of the PARC network, reflecting upon its activities and ethos within current higher education practices and structures. Findings In supporting autistic individuals in their attempts to establish themselves within academic systems that may not always be considerate or accommodating, the existence of PARC creates a structure with which autistic people can influence social change. PARC serves as a network of support, strengthening the presence of autistic scholars in academia. It also provides a structure through which autistic people are able to demonstrate helpful practices with which to engage more broadly. Originality/value The PARC network is the first autistic-led venture of its kind in the UK to have a sustained impact. PARC is growing to become an important element in the field of autism studies both by supporting emerging autistic academics and by promoting ethical and participatory research methods and practices.

Whereas corporate media and the entertainment industry present an endless stream of apocalyptic scenarios where environmental catastrophe is our unavoidable fate, the new wave of eco-aesthetics aims to bring to the foreground the complex ‘ecologies’ of global forces which contributed to the transition to the new geological epoch. This paper concentrates on the case study World of Matter, an international media, art, and multidisciplinary research collective that investigates the synergies of social, political, environmental, and economic spheres. Touching upon critical aspects of decolonial critique, this paper argues that World of Matter presents new stances to the understanding of the environmental crisis, the democratisation of the Anthropocene discourse, and brings a new kind of social aesthetics to the foreground.
