This study critically examines how masculinities and intersecting ethnonational and social class identities underscore the social and political agencies of excombatants in Northern Ireland and in the specific context of community-based peacebuilding. The authors draw on interviews with female and male leaders in grassroots and governmental organizations, which illustrate how state-led practices of exclusion reshape such intersectional identities and increase the instrumentality of hypermasculinist, pseudo-paramilitary practices in maintaining excombatants’ status and control on neighborhood levels. The research documents how structural dynamics of excombatants’ social class locations and political disaffection help shape their social agencies of “resistance,” underscored by desires for autonomy and recognition, and channeled by ethnogendered scripts rooted in both violent cultures of paramilitarism and nonviolent peacebuilding masculinities. The implications on women of male excombatants’ takeover of leadership roles in the community sector are also discussed.

This study analyzed structure of Tegodek Dait Tetuntel fable. Through these structures, it will be seen the role of each character in relationto the behavior of Sasak community based on the social levels . By using the structural analysis methods of Levi-Strau,it is shown that Tegodek and Tetuntel fable is not only presenting two main characters,  ‘Godek’ (monkey) and Tuntel (frogs/toads), but it is also presenting some phenomena of opposition figures such as ‘Godek’ is always insuperior position, while figures of Tuntel is always in inferior position. This indicates that ‘Godek’ figure is representation of a higher social class, while Tuntel is representation of a lower social class. Relating to the behavior, the ‘Godek’ character has a more active behavior, while the Tuntel figure tends to bea  passive behavior. If it is related to "working" activities, Tuntel figures have more knowledge than the characters of Tuntel. In relation to the behavior of revealing facts, the Tuntel figures tend to reveal something accordance with the facts, while the ‘Godek’ figures tend to precede the prestige that sometimes they do not meet the facts. When it is dealt with a problem solving, ‘Godek’ figures are more like doing intervention, whereas Tuntel figures to be relentless.

Purpose Contemporary governmentality combines biopolitical and necropolitical logics to establish social, political and physical borders that classify and stratify populations using symbolic and material marks as, for example, nationality, gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, social class and/or disability. The social sciences have been prolific in the analysis of alterities and, in turn, implicated in the epistemologies and knowledge practices that underpin and sustain the multiplication of frontiers that define essential differences between populations. The purpose of this paper is to develop a strategy that analyze and subvert the logic of bordering inherent in the bio/necropolitical gaze. In different ways, this paper examines operations of delimitation and differentiation that contribute to monolithic definitions of subject and subjectivity. Design/methodology/approach The authors question border construction processes in terms of their static, homogenizing and exclusionary effects. Findings Instead of hierarchical stratification of populations, the papers in this special issue explore the possibilities of relationship and the conditions of such relationships. Who do we relate to? On which terms and conditions? With what purpose? In which ethical and political manner? Originality/value A critical understanding of the asymmetry in research practices makes visible how the researcher is legitimized to produce a representation of those researched, an interpretation of their words and actions without feedback or contribution to the specific context where the research has been carried out. Deconstructive and relational perspectives are put forward as critical strands that can set the basis of different approaches to research and social practice.

RESUMO Processos participativos são fundamentais para o êxito de projetos de turismo de base comunitária realizados com comunidades habitantes em unidades de conservação. Os processos formais e legalmente institucionalizados muitas vezes são insuficientes para gerar inclusão e participação social de fato, uma vez que podem deixar escapar questões importantes das complexas relações existentes nesses contextos. Com base na experiência de dois projetos – um na Reserva Extrativista do Rio Unini (AM), e outro na Floresta Nacional do Amapá (AP), buscou-se refletir sobre a importância do diálogo como alicerce na emersão de processos participativos nos projetos realizados com comunidades. O artigo tece uma síntese conceitual de turismo de base comunitária. Além disso, são apresentados os atores sociais do diálogo: as comunidades tradicionais, as organizações não governamentais e as instituições representativas do Estado. Indica-se a necessidade de inovação conceitual e prática no que se refere aos processos ditos participativos realizados com comunidades no campo das unidades de conservação. A metodologia dos projetos consistiu em pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevistas-diálogo, visitas de campo e oficinas. Dialogue and participatory processes in tourism projects with communities in Protected Areas of the Brazilian Amazon ABSTRACT Real participatory processes are fundamental to the success of community-based tourism projects conducted in protected areas. Formal and legally institutionalized processes are insufficient to create the genuine inclusion and participation that they propose, for they miss subtle details of the complex and important relations existent in these contexts. Based on the experience of two projects - one in the Extractive Reserve of River Unini, Amazonas state, and another in the National Forest of Amapá, Amapá state – this research sought to analyze the importance of dialogue as the foundation for the emergence of real participatory process projects with traditional communities. This work briefly synthesizes the concepts of community-based tourism. It also presents the dialogue among the social actors: traditional communities, non-governmental organizations and institutions representing the State. Final thoughts include the need for conceptual innovation and practice with regard to the so-called participatory processes that are recommended when dealing with traditional communities in relation to protected areas, along with possible practical guidance. The methodologies of those projects consisted in bibliography research, dialogue-interview, fieldworks and workshops. KEYWORS: Dialogue; Participation; Traditional Communities; Tourism and Protected Areas.

The Social

This paper explores the charitable work of Buddhist women who work as petty traders in Hồ Chí Minh City. By focusing on the social interaction between givers and recipients, it examines the traders’ class identity, their perception of social stratification, and their relationship with the state. Charitable work reveals the petty traders’ negotiations with the state and with other social groups to define their moral and social status in Vietnam’s society. These negotiations contribute to their self-identification as a moral social class and to their perception of trade as ethical labor.

Garbage can be interpreted as a consequence of the activities of human life. It is undeniable, garbage will always be there as long as life activities continue to run. Every year, it can be ascertained that the volume of waste will always increase along with the increasing pattern of public consumerism. The landfill which is increasingly polluting the environment requires a technique and management to manage waste into something useful and of economic value, Bantas Village, Selemadeg Timur District, Tabanan Regency currently has a Waste Management Site (TPS3R) managed by Non-Governmental Organizations (KSM ) The source of waste comes from Households, Stalls, Restaurant Entrepreneurs, Schools, Offices and Ceremonies which are organic and inorganic waste. The waste management system at Bantas Lestari TPS with 3R system is Reduce (reduction of waste products starts from the source), Reuse (reuse for waste that can be reused) and Recycle (recycling waste) to date it is still running but not optimal. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative with data analysis using SWOT analysis. This study produces a Waste Management Strategy which is the result of research from the management aspect, aspects of human resources and aspects of infrastructure facilities.

And Control

Autonomy is associated with intellectual self-preservation and self-determination. Shame, on the contrary, bears a loss of approval, self-esteem and control. Being afflicted with shame, we suffer from social dependencies that by no means have been freely chosen. Moreover, undergoing various experiences of shame, our power of reflection turns out to be severly limited owing to emotional embarrassment. In both ways, shame seems to be bound to heteronomy. This situation strongly calls for conceptual clarification. For this purpose, we introduce a threestage model of self-determination which comprises i) autonomy as capability of decision-making relating to given sets of choices, ii) self-commitment in terms of setting and harmonizing goals, and iii) self-realization in compliance with some range of persistently approved goals. Accordingly, the presuppositions and distinctive marks of shame-experiences are made explicit. Within this framework, we explore the intricate relation between autonomy and shame by focusing on two questions: on what conditions could conventional behavior be considered as self-determined? How should one characterize the varying roles of actors that are involved in typical cases of shame-experiences? In this connection, we advance the thesis that the social dynamics of shame turns into ambiguous positions relating to motivation, intentional content,and actors’ roles.
