This article analyzes tensions that take place when a Brazilian indigenous student develops research on emerging community issues and establishes relations between practices from indigenous tradition and mathematical practices from school, in the context of an intercultural teacher training undergraduate course. The work is situated on the intercultural field, on the decolonial perspective, and on ethnomathematics, created from the late work of Wittgenstein and Michel Foucault’s thought. It is a qualitative perspective, composed by multimodal data from a Pataxó student’s research, articulating texts, images, audio of the defense session, an interview, and a questionnaire.  The analysis shows that tensions evolve from power relations between the Western mathematics and the other ways to produce mathematics, in this case, using the traditional knowledge of Pataxó body paint.  Such tensions highlight the impossibility of accepting the existence of a universal mathematical language and legitimates Pataxó mathematics, within their schools, with its own epistemologies based on reasons, cosmovision, and spiritualities.

The municipalities in the Capital Region of Brussels have the same legal statuts as the other Belgian municipalities. Yet the political reality is quite different, and requires a different approach. Three specific aspects of the Brussels municipalities are discussed. They are bilingual, which leads to very specific strategical problems. Moreover the power relations between parties fluctuate a lot in Brussels. And finally the small size of the Region leads to an incremental 'emptying' of a number of local competencies by the powerfull political executive of the Region.

El objetivo principal de esta investigación ha sido conocer y analizar la inclusión de actividades de danza en la práctica educativa del aula de Educación Infantil desde la perspectiva de los docentes. Los participantes (N=105) han sido maestras/os que imparten docencia en el segundo ciclo de Educación Infantil en centros educativos de la Región de Murcia (España). Para la recogida de datos se ha diseñado un cuestionario ad hoc y posteriormente se ha aplicado un análisis descriptivo a la información obtenida. Los resultados reflejan que los especialistas de Educación Infantil de la Región de Murcia incluyen en sus programaciones y en su práctica docente actividades de danza. Asimismo, las consideran fundamentales en el desarrollo integral del alumnado y que este responde de forma positiva y activa a este tipo de actividades. Por otro lado, alertan de la necesidad de mejorar la oferta formativa con respecto a estas materias y la calidad y cantidad de medios y recursos para llevarlas adecuadamente a la práctica. Abstract. The main objective of this research was to learn and analyze the inclusion of dance activities in Preschool teaching practices from the perspective of teachers. Participants (N=105) were teachers who teach at the second cycle of Preschool Education in schools from the Region of Murcia (Spain). An ad hoc questionnaire was designed for the collection of data, and descriptive analysis was subsequently applied. The results reflect that specialists of Preschool Education from the Region of Murcia include dance activities in their planning and teaching practices. Likewise, they consider them fundamental for the integral development of students, who respond in a positive and active way to this type of activities. On the other hand, they call the attention on the need to improve both teacher training with respect to these subjects and the quality and quantity of resources to carry them properly into practice.

Este artigo tem como objeto o discurso sobre alteridade em articulação com experiência docente. Pretende-se dar visibilidade à expressão material, conceitual e pedagógica desse discurso em suas relações. A reflexão está sustentada nos estudos pós-colonialistas e pós-estruturalistas. Problematiza-se a interpretação da alteridade como uma possibilidade de acessar a experiência do outro, sentir como o outro em sua essencia, pois entende-se que não há uma natureza humana, mas, sim, humanos produzidos culturalmente e linguisticamente. O enfoque recai sobre a alteridade como uma relação de interdependência permeada por relações de poder, a versão da afirmação da diferença e a dignidade nas relações. AbstractThis article has as its object the discourse on otherness in articulation with teaching experience. It is intended to give visibility to the material, conceptual and pedagogical expression of this discourse in their relations. The reflection is sustained in postcolonialist and poststructuralist studies. The interpretation of otherness as a possibility to access the experience of the other is problematized, to feel as the other in its essence, because is understood that there is no human nature, but human beings produced culturally and linguistically. He focus is on otherness as a relation of interdependence permeated by power relations, the version of affirmation of difference and dignity in relationships.KeywordsOtherness; Cultural difference; Teaching.

A partir de uma experiência pedagógica, o presente artigo pretende estabelecer uma interlocução a respeito da implantação de uma formação de professores, por meio de uma metodologia de cunho coletivo, ancorada em uma razão solidária, sustentada na cooperação em oposição à hegemonia da razão neoliberal individualista, vigente na atualidade. Para tanto, nos amparamos nas categorias da ética da alteridade e do diálogo como fundamentos para a criação e  recriação de práticas políticas e pedagógicas com vistas à abertura de possíveis caminhos para a constituição de um professor disponível ao outro e ao coletivo (escola e sociedade), bem como do surgimento de uma educação pautada pela cooperação e que, em última instância, contribua para a edificação de uma civilização comunitária. A percepção é que a efetivação do sugerido é essencial para uma formação docente libertária.Palavras-chave: Formação de Professores. Cooperação.

To this end, we rely on the categories of the ethics of alterity and dialogue as foundations for the creation and re-creation of political and pedagogical practices with a view to opening up possible paths for the constitution of a teacher available to the other and to the collective (school and society), as well as the emergence of an education based on cooperation and ultimately contributing to the building of a community civilization.  The perception is that the implementation of what is suggested is essential for a libertarian teacher training.Keywords: Teacher Training.

This paper aims to critically introduce the applicability of Foucault’s late work, on the practices of the self, to the scholarship of contemporary computer games. I argue that the gameplay tasks that we set ourselves, and the patterns of action that they produce, can be understood as a form of ‘work on the self’, and that this work is ambivalent between, on the one hand, an aesthetic transformation of the self – as articulated by Foucault in relation to the care or practices of the self – in which we break from the dominant subjectivities imposed upon us, and on the other, a closer tethering of ourselves through our own playful impulses, to a neoliberal subjectivity centred around instrumentally-driven selfimprovement. Game studies’ concern with the effects that computer games have on us stands to gain from an examination of Foucault’s late work for the purposes of analysing and disambiguating between the nature of the transformations at stake. Further, Foucault’s tripartite analysis of ‘power-knowledge-subject’, which might be applied here as ‘game-discourse-player’, foregrounds the imbrication of our gameplay practices – the extent to which they are due to us and the way in which our own volitions make us subject to power, which is particularly pertinent in the domain of play.

Abstract. This article deals with one of the most controversial topics in urban studies related to mobile capital and mobile people. At first glance this seems to be contradictory since numbers of short-term rentals have decreased dramatically due to the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. However, this paper is not about numbers and statistics. Instead it discusses structural issues regarding governance and power relations which remain important topics (especially) in times of crisis. It provides insights regarding the following issues: firstly, it deconstructs different “myths” that still surround short-term rentals and Airbnb and secondly, it delineates the structural power of Airbnb as a new urban institution. This helps us to understand some of the conflicts over Airbnb and the pitfalls with current forms of regulation on the one side as well as showing the complexity and agency of short-term rentals on the other.

Abstract This article discusses why it is necessary to rebuild comparative literature in terms of a geopolitics of comparison. “Geopolitics” is understood here, following Gearóid Ó Tuathail, to mean a distinctive genre of geo-power which brought about the systemic closure of the surface of the globe. Comparative literature has been part and parcel of this process by extending a Eurocentric concept of “(national) literature” worldwide. A rebuilt comparative literature has, on the one hand, to bring to light significant evidence of the discipline’s history within the historical and geographical context of power relations and, on the other hand, confront the coloniality of knowledge on three levels—locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. Here only the locutionary level is addressed by examining two journals—Comparative Literature and 1616: Anuario de la Sociedad Española de Literatura General y Comparada / Anuario de Literatura Comparada—from a bibliometric-analysis perspective.

This work undertakes a systematic reconstruction of the debates that took place over the course of several decades up to the beginning of the 21st century between Derrida on the one hand and Searle and Habermas on the other. It shows that the linguistic theories and the theories of communicative understanding developed by Searle and Habermas are based on inferences from the contingent individual case to the general. Searle draws ontological, Habermas anthropo-political conclusions, both with essentially naturalistic signatures. Derrida, on the other hand, raises epistemological objections and consequently develops a metaphysics of free subjects for whom conversation cannot necessarlily be presumed. The explicit dedication to ethics in Derrida's late work is due to his insight that the possibility of language and understanding is due to silence. Derrida's lasting merit lies in enriching the philosophy of language with a secretology. This study has been awarded the Kant Prize of the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Bonn and the "Prix de la République Française", awarded by the French Embassy and the University of Bonn.

Using post-war election results for the Belgian House of Representatives, the power relations among political parties are analysed by calculating power- and satisfaction indices. Also, a participation index has been constructed to calculate the probability that a party will join a government coalition.Since the election of 1981 the traditional parties ( christian-democrats, socialists and liberals) join the same Banzhof power and participation probability. The other parties represent no power and participation valueat all.

Abstract Literary compositional drafts and working manuscripts preserve traces of the gradual process of writing and its different stages. In the static medium of print, genetic editions are confronted with the problem of depicting the dynamic evolution of texts. Presenting the variants in line-by-line synoptic display disregards the spatial arrangement on the manuscript pages. On the other hand, giving a topographic representation of the writing in diplomatic transcripts might stratify it into a few chronological layers but is unable to sufficiently reproduce the dynamic process to an elaborate degree. Consequently, the screen is better suited to visualise the writing process. The digital presentation of the ‘Homburg Folio’, the most important manuscript of Friedrich Hölderlin’s late work, offers not only the transcriptional record as known from print media but displays the process of writing and revision on each of the facsimile’s pages itself (https://homburgfolio.wlb-stuttgart.de). Thus, it is possible to visualise writing both as an act in time and its graphic result on the space of a page. It confines itself to the presentation of the genesis without any constitution of a text. The combination of these different operations has often led to errors. Decoupling the genetic analysis from the extrapolation of text reveals its potential.
