The indigenous community of Acteal in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, has been subject to both direct and structural violence in the form of the massacre that took place there in 1997 and the impunity that has persisted ever since. In response to the violence, the community has constructed political, social, and cultural alternatives through the movement known as the Las Abejas of Acteal Civil Society Organization. Its reconstruction of the social fabric has included participation in assembies, volunteer work for the collective, exchange of experiences, food production for subsistence, a solidarity economy, and the systematization and sharing of experiences. La comunidad indígena de Acteal en las tierras altas de Chiapas, México, ha sido objeto de violencia tanto directa y estructural a partir de la masacre que tuvo lugar allí en 1997, así como la impunidad que ha persistido desde entonces. En respuesta a la violencia, la comunidad ha construido alternativas políticas, sociales y culturales a través del movimiento conocido como Organización Sociedad Civil Las Abejas de Acteal. Su reconstrucción del tejido social ha incluido la participación en asambleas, el voluntariado para el colectivo, el intercambio de experiencias, la producción de alimentos para subsistencia, una economía solidaria, y la sistematización e intercambio de experiencias.

Child Friendly

Islam as a religion concerned with justice and respect places great emphasis on human rights and responsibility. Child as a small human also has certain rights categorized into social, educational and financial rights. The social rights are divided into two categories: before birth and after birth. The social rights before birth includes right to noble parent having character and right to unborn child while the social rights after birth includes rights to lineage, suckle and nutrition, and being received by the Muslim society. The educational rights cover rights to life, general care and socialization as well as basic education, just and equal treatment, and physical education. The financial rights encompass rights to livelihood, property and inheritance. Such rights of the child guaranteed by Islam absolutely have relevance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989. For enabling children to enjoy their rights, parental care plays role as a main foundation. But state and civil society organization also have key roles to play in this regard. A child friendly education may be a manifestation of social responsibility of state and civil society organization to respect and fulfill the rights of child. Such education provides a safe, clean, healthy and protective environment as well as meaningful learning for children with diverse abilities and backgrounds. Islam sebagai agama yang memperhatikan keadilan dan penghormatan memberikan penekanan yang tinggi pada hak asasi manusia dan tanggung jawab. Anak sebagai manusia kecil juga memiliki hak-hak yang dikategorisasikan ke hak-hak sosial, pendidikan, dan financial. Hak-hak sosial terbagi ke dalam duakategori: sebelum dan sesudah kelahiran. Hak-hak sosial sebelum kelahiran mencakup hak mendapatkan orangtua yang baik dan memiliki karakter, dan hak untuk tidak digugurkan dari kandungan, sementara hak-hak sosial sesudah kelahiran berupa hak mendapat silsilah keturunan yang jelas, hak mendapat air susu ibu dan gizi, dan hak diterima sebagai warga masyarakat Muslim. Adapun hak-hak pendidikan meliputi hak untuk hidup (sebagai prasyarat), hak memperoleh pengasuhan umum, hak sosialisasi, sebagaimana juga hakpendidikan dasar, hak perlakuan yang adil dan setara, serta hak pendidikan fisik. Sedangkan hak-hak finansial terdiri dari hak mendapatkan nafkah, hak memiliki harta, dan hak memperoleh warisan. Hak-hak anak yang dijamin oleh Islam tersebut ternyata relevan dengan Konvensi Hak-hak Anak yang disepakati dalam Sidang Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa (PBB) pada 1989. Untuk memungkinkan anak mendapatkan hak-haknya, perlindungan orangtua memainkan peranan sebagai landasan utama. Namun, dalam hal ini negara dan organisasi masyarakat sipil dapat juga memainkan peranan masing-masing. Pendidikan ramah anak dapat menjadi suatu perwujudan tanggung jawab sosial negara dan organisasi masyarakat sipil dalam menghormati dan memenuhi hak-hak anak. Pendidikan tersebut memberikan suatu lingkungan yang aman, bersih, sehat, dan protektif, serta pembelajaran penuh makna bagi anak-anak dengan keanekaragaman kemampuan dan latar belakang.

A partir de la Revolución mexicana, las instituciones creadas o reorganizadas por los gobiernos posrevolucionarios tienen, entre otros muchos retos, extenderse en lugares físicamente alejados de la capital del poder político, la Ciudad de México. Otro de sus objetivos era construir el discurso sobre la nueva nación que rompía con el pasado y que, entre cuyos objetivos, se encontraba la normalización de la ciudadanía a través de su regeneración física y moral. Normalización donde la educación física y el deporte se convertían en parte de las campañas de higienización social desplegadas por todo el país. De esta manera, el territorio chiapaneco se incorporó a la institucionalización de la Revolución mexicana y, dentro de ese proceso, las actividades físicas se impulsaron e incrementaron desde los gobiernos posrevolucionarios chiapanecos y, también, desde las élites de la sociedad civil, muchas de ellas partícipes de los nuevos gobiernos e instituciones locales chiapanecas. AbstractSince the Mexican Revolution, the institutions created or reorganized by the post-revolutionary governments have, among many other challenges, spread in places physically far from the capital of political power, Mexico City. Another of its objectives was to build the discourse on the new nation that broke with the past and that, among its objectives, was the normalization of citizenship through its physical and moral regeneration. Standardization where physical education and sport became part of the social sanitation campaigns deployed throughout the country. In this way, the territory of Chiapas was incorporated into the institutionalization of the Mexican Revolution and, within that process, physical activities were promoted and increased from the post-revolutionary governments of Chiapas and also, from the elites of civil society, many of them participants of the new governments and local institutions.

El artículo que presentamos analiza a través de los testimonios orales el fenómeno del trueque solidario, un mecanismo de contención social de aplicación masiva que junto con los planes sociales, ambos comparten su carácter de innovación frente a la crisis y su amplio alcance. El trueque se presenta como una actividad, de gran convocatoria, surgida desde la sociedad civil, y aunque actualmente está en decadencia, cuando la crisis vivió sus días más agudos —en el año 2002— llegó a reunir más de siete millones de personas a lo largo de la geografía argentina.   ABSTRACT The article we present analyzes through oral testimonies the phenomenon of solidary bartering, a social contention mechanism of massive application. Together with the social plans, the two share their character of innovation in the face of the crisis and its broad reach.Bartering is presented as an exceptionally widespread activity emerged from civil society. Although now in decline, during the period of sharpest crisis —in the year 2002— it united more than seven million people across the full length of Argentinean territory.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos das profundas desigualdades que marcam a sociedade brasileira sobre a conformação da vida associativa nas grandes cidades, tendo por referência uma pesquisa empírica realizada com uma Associação de Moradores de um tradicional bairro de classe média de Porto Alegre. A partir do estudo das relações e da atuação desta entidade, percebe-se um alto grau de segmentação do tecido associativo da cidade em decorrência das marcantes distâncias estruturais e relacionais entre seus moradores. Devido a esta segmentação, as entidades de classe média e alta tendem a estabelecer vínculos e desenvolver ações com atores que compartilham posições similares no espaço social. Ao mesmo tempo, tendem a não se relacionar com entidades populares, mesmo que espacialmente próximas. Este resultado indica que as desigualdades costumam se reproduzir nos processos associativos que conformam a sociedade civil brasileira, tema pouco abordado pela literatura dedicada ao tema.Palavras-chave: associativismo; sociedade civil; desigualdade; distância social; Porto Alegre. Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze how the great inequalities of Brazilian society affects on the conformation of associational life in the big cities, based on a empirical research with an Neighborhood Association of a traditional middle-class neighborhood of Porto Alegre. From the study of relations and the action of this entity, we can see a high degree of segmentation of the social fabric of the city as a result of the marked structural and relational distances between its residents. Because of this segmentation, the associations of middle and upper classes tend to establish links and develop actions with actors who share similar positions in social space. At the same time, they do not tend to relate to popular organizations, even though spatially close. These results indicate that inequalities tend to reproduce in the associative processes that make up the Brazilian civil society, a subject rarely discussed in the literature on the topic.Keywords: association; civil society; inequality; social distance; Porto Alegre.

Social And Environmental Impacts

La represa Salvajina, una de las grandes hidroeléctricas de Colombia, ubicada en el noroccidente del Cauca, en los municipios de Suárez, Morales y Buenos Aires, ha sido una construcción controversial por los impactos sociales y ambientales que ha generado durante la administración de diferentes multinacionales y empresas privadas. La gobernanza se involucra en la administración de esta, pues es permanente la articulación entre Estado sociedad civil y actores privados, donde supone el reto de efectuar la gobernabilidad en el margen legal. La administración de la represa, sus repercusiones socioambientales y la gobernabilidad son tres factores que confluyen para determinar el impacto general de este proyecto frente a la población aledaña. A partir de lo anterior, este escrito intenta ver cómo dicho impacto ha sido remediado, o, en su defecto, cuáles son las tentativas para lograrlo, pues desde una perspectiva críticoanalítica, el manejo y regulación del Estado frente a los actores privados permite que las dinámicas sociales se vean impactadas negativa o positivamente, en la culturalización de nuevas formas de vida relacionadas con la construcción de la represa. En suma, el artículo apunta a que el reto del Estado, en el marco de la gobernanza, y dentro de una armonía teórica horizontal, es suscitar la gobernabilidad entre los actores que buscan beneficio de distinta índole en la represa Salvajina.Palabras clave: megaproyectos, desarrollo, impacto social, impacto ambiental, actores privados, sociedad civil, acción estatal, gobernanza, gobernabilidad. Abstract:Salvajina Dam: far from development, close to oblivion Salvajina dam, one of the greatest hydroelectric of Colombia, located in the Northwest of Cauca, in the municipalities of Suárez, Morales and Buenos Aires has been controversial for the social and environmental impacts generated, within the administration of different multinationals and private companies. Governance is involved in the administration of this, because joint is permanent between State, civil society and private actors, where the challenge of governance in the legal margin. The management of the dam, its social and environmental impacts; and it governance are three factors that converge in determine an impact general to the population surrounding and how these have been remediated, or in its defect them attempts of achieving it. As a perspective critical analytical, management and regulation of the State to private players allows that the social dynamics will be impacted positively or negative on the culturalisation of new forms of life because of the construction of the dam. Raise governance is the challenge of the State within the framework of governance, within a horizontal theoretical harmony between players seeking benefits of different kind in the Salvajina dam.Keywords: Megaprojects, development, social impact, environmental impact, private actors, civil society, state action, governance, governability.

Describe los procesos, los colaboradores involucrados y la repercusión del desarrollo del proyecto ecuatoriano "Sociedad FLOK - Free Libre Open Knowledge Society", con miras a la construcción de planos para fortalecer la economía social del conocimiento social común y abierto. El proyecto dio lugar a la Cumbre del Conocer Bien en mayo de 2014 en Quito, con diferentes actores e instituciones sociales. Sus resultados serán publicados en un libro con las principales directrices disponibles en un número especial del "Journal of Peer Production". Durante la elaboración del proyecto y  en la Cumbre se asistió a una intensa participación de varias instituciones, entre ellas de la comunidad internacional. La  inicialmente difícil participación de la sociedad civil que por las barreras del idioma fue superada a partir de la idea de "Bueno saber cómo habitar Bien Vivir", marco político ecuatoriano desde 2008, y por los esfuerzos de instituciones, tornando posible aumentar la participación de la sociedad civil. De este modo, a través de una red participativa, las discusiones que produjeran contenidos en 190 documentos iniciales fueron publicadas, lo que llamamos "propio contenido". Su impacto y discusión aparecieron en los medios de comunicación tradicionales, un total de 130, lo que llamamos "contenido en medios", en las discusiones en los "medios de comunicación de redes sociales " y de diversas acciones de comunicación y equipo FLOK . Por último, también alcanzamos lo que llamamos redes de territorios  que hibridaran territorios digitales y geográficos en las reuniones # Beer2peer en los bares de Quito. A pesar de alta visibilidad dada al contenido propuesto, la eficacia de las recomendaciones de política y de proyectos productivos aún tiene bajo rendimiento por el pequeño número actual de participantes en el equipo. Todavía hay cuellos de botella como la necesidad de programas de capacitación, programas piloto y tácticas para promover los ya posibles planes y profundizar los iniciados. A SOCIEDADE FLOK NO EQUADOR 1.0: A TRANSIÇÃO LOCAL PARA A ECONOMIA SOCIAL DO CONHECIMENTO EM MARCHA ResumoDescreve processos, colaboradores envolvidos e repercussão da elaboração do projeto equatoriano "FLOK Society _ Free Libre Open Knowledge Society", com vistas à construção de planos que visem reforçar a economia social do conhecimento social comum e aberto. Projeto ensejou a Cúpula do Bem Conhecer, em maio de 2014 em Quito, contando com diversos atores e instituições sociais, e seus resultados serão publicados em um livro, estando as principais diretrizes disponíveis em um número especial do "Journal of Peer Production". Durante a elaboração do projeto e na Cúpula contou-se com uma intensa participação de diversas instituições, inclusive da comunidade internacional. Inicialmente a difícil participação da sociedade civil, pelas barreiras de língua, foi contornada a partir da ideia de "Bem Conhecer como habitat do Bem Viver", marco político equatoriano desde 2008 e pelos esforços de instituições, sendo possível reforçar a participação da sociedade civil. Assim, através de uma rede participativa, as discussões que produziram conteúdos em 190 documentos iniciais foram publicados, que chamamos "conteúdo próprio". Sua repercussão e discussão apareceu nas mídias tradicionais, num total de 130, que chamamos de "conteúdos de mídias", nas discussões em "mídias de redes sociais" e a partir de diversas ações de comunicação da equipe do FLOK. Finalmente, também chegou ao que chamamos redes territórios que hibridizaram os territórios digitais e geográficos nos encontros #Beer2peer nos bares de Quito. Apesar da ampla visibilidade dada aos conteúdos propostos, a eficácia das recomendações políticas e dos projetos produtivos ainda apresenta baixa concretização pelo atual reduzido número de participantes na equipe. Existem ainda gargalos como a necessidade de planos de formação, programas pilotos e táticas para levar adiante os planos já possíveis e aprofundar os processos iniciados. FLOK SOCIETY IN ECUADOR 1.0. THE TRANSITION TO THE SOCIAL ECONOMY OF THE LOCAL KNOWLEDGEAbstractDescribes processes, collaborators involved and impact of the development of the Ecuadorian project "Flok Society _ FreeLibre Open Knowledge Society" with a view to building plans to strengthen the social economy of the common and open social knowledge. Project gave rise to the Summit  Conocer Bien in May 2014 in Quito, with different actors and social institutions, and their results will be published in a book, with the main guidelines available in a special issue of the "Journal of Peer Production". During the project design and the Summit was attended up with an intense participation of several institutions, including the international community. The initially difficult participation of civil society, by language barriers, was dealt from the idea of "Well know as habitat of the Good Life", Ecuadorian political landmark since 2008 and the institutions of efforts, it is possible to increase the participation of civil society. Thus, through a participatory network, the discussions that produced content in 190 initial documents were published, which we call "own content". Its impact and discussion appeared in traditional media, a total of 130, which we call "media content" in discussions "social networking media" and from diverse and communication actions of flok team. Finally, also reached what we call territories networks hybridized digital and geographical territories in meetings #Beer2peer in the bars of Quito. For the sake of high visibility given to the proposed content the effectiveness of the policy recommendations and productive projects still has low achievement by the current small number of participants in the team. There are still bottlenecks as the need for training programs, pilot programs and tactics to further the already possible plans and deepen the initiated.

Although research on collaborative artistic projects and practices tend to emphasize the social ties and even the production of communities that they enact, normally, this very research does not pay attention to the singularity of the forms of sociality produced. This article engages in a double task –namely, a theoretical definition and an analytical application– derived from the fieldwork undertaken in the Mexican cities of Tijuana and Monterrey by means of which we developed the notion of “weak sociality” to name the modes of relationships produced by cultural actors from civil society enrolled in independent spaces or projects. We hold that the sociality these strategies produce is conflictive, ephemeral, spatially bound and affective. Both, our theoretical stance as well as our fieldwork findings will make us conclude that the relationships produced in this microspaces –where conflict is productive, ephemerality means open ended negotiations and affect implies care– work as an unavoidable process for the politicization of artistic collaborative practice in the neoliberal city. Si bien la investigación sobre prácticas y proyectos artísticos colaborativos suele enfatizar los lazos sociales e, incluso, la producción de comunidad que estos generan, es frecuente que no se atienda a la singularidad de las formas de sociabilidad que ahí se articulan. Este artículo propone un doble ejercicio, de definición teórica y de aplicación analítica, a partir del trabajo empírico realizado en las ciudades mexicanas de Tijuana y Monterrey. En nuestro análisis proponemos la noción de “sociabilidad débil” para nombrar los modos de relación producidos por agentes culturales de la sociedad civil en espacios o proyectos independientes. Sostenemos, así, que la sociabilidad que producen estas estrategias es conflictiva, efímera, espacialmente delimitada y afectiva. Tanto nuestra postura teórica como los hallazgos de nuestro trabajo de campo nos llevarán a concluir que las relaciones gestadas en estos microespacios –donde el conflicto es productivo, lo efímero predispone a la negociación y el afecto es cuidado– operan como un proceso imprescindible para la politización de las prácticas artísticas colaborativas en la ciudad neoliberal.
