As desigualdades entre mulheres e homens começaram a ser denunciadas pelas próprias mulheres em Cabo Verde. Estamos certos de que tais denúncias permitiram que as mulheres, lentamente, fossem adquirindo direitos e construindo uma agenda de igualdade. Nessa linha, propomos analisar o papel das ONG comprometidas com a igualdade de género, em Cabo Verde, em prol da defesa dos direitos das mulheres, num contexto de invisibilidade do papel destas na esfera pública. A metodologia adotada é a pesquisa documental e a realização de entrevistas com presidentes de 03 ONG que atuam no paá­s. As ONG têm criado condições que asseguram a igualdade entre homens e mulheres, com particular ênfase na promoção do empoderamento das mulheres, sobretudo, para contrapor os indicadores de desigualdades. As organizações vêm demonstrando capacidade de promover mudanças, provocando transformações na estrutura social, influenciando novas práticas e provocando novos modelos de relacionamento social de igualdade de gênero.Palavras-chaves: Mulheres.

We agree that these allegations have allowed women to acquire rights and building an equality agenda. Therefore, we propose to analyze the role of NGOs committed to gender equality in Cape Verde for the defense of women's rights in a context of invisibility of women's role in public sphere. The methodology is document research and interviews with three NGO”™s Presidents. These NGOs have created conditions that ensure equality between men and women, with particular emphasis on promoting the empowerment of women, especially to counter the inequality indicators. These organizations have demonstrated capacity to promote change, causing changes in the social structure, influencing new practices and causing new social relationship models of gender equality.

One of the distinctive traits of the Belarusian ‘revolution-in-the-making’, sparked by alleged falsifications during the presidential elections and brutal repressions of protest afterwards, has been a highly visible gender dimension. This article is devoted to the analysis of this gender-related consequences of protest activism in Belarus. Within this research, the authors analyse the role of the female movement in the Belarusian uprising and examine, and to which extent this involvement expands the public sphere and contributes to the changes in gender-related policies. To do this, the authors conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with the gender experts and activists – four before and four after the protests.

Conceptual Work

This concluding chapter synergizes the previous chapters and adds something new. Both functions are captured by the title, Reclaiming the Public in Policing. First, it argues that the empirical and conceptual work in this book points at the corrosion of the public character of policing, which results in law enforcement agencies that find it increasingly difficult to exclude politics, particularism, and populism from their operations. This part of the chapter concludes that it is imperative that we ‘unthink’ bureaucracy as the social evil of our time and revalue the public contours of policing. A second way to reclaim the ‘public’ in policing, now defined not as a quality of the police but an engaged citizenry that is involved in public debates on the police, concerns the role of police scholars in the public sphere. The chapter advocates a public anthropology of police and reflects on the author's efforts to ‘go public’.

Women's Role

This article aims to provide a systematic, comparative analysis of two of the main women's mass publications in order to trace continuities and changes in the development of women's role in the public sphere in Italy. The analysis begins with an elaboration of the social and political context, which is crucial for the understanding of media texts in general. It shows how the existence of only limited political spaces in post-war Italian society due to the polarisation of Catholicism and communism delayed both an open political discourse on women's conditions and the gradual development of an autonomous and lay feminist movement. Noi Donne of Union Donne Italiene (UDI) was closely aligned with and financed by the Italian Communist Party (PCI) and lacked any substantial autonomy until the early 1970s, while Cronache of the Catholic women's organisation Centro Italiano Femminile (CIF) was a faithful instrument for the propagation of those Catholic concepts of femininity that were redefined and reinforced by the Vatican in the Catholic publication Civiltà Cattolica.

Insight Into

This article investigates the phenomenology of Social Education Coordinators in Israeli high schools regarding school’s civic education. Twenty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted, followed by a two-stage coding process. The Social Education Coordinators indicate that their schools seem to be unified behind the goal of maximal citizenship. However, their unique position as agents of non-formal pedagogies gains them insight into the role of pedagogy in advancing various citizenship models and the struggle in schools between opposing pedagogies and citizenship models. Formal pedagogies are understood to be incoherent; they speak of maximal citizenship, however, habituate minimal citizenship. Informal pedagogies are understood to be coherent, to both speak and habituate maximal citizenship. From the Social Education Coordinators’ perspective, their attempt to insert meaningful informal pedagogies and true maximal citizenship is subversive and a show of agency. They perceive themselves as still weak but significant players in providing students with ‘voice’ in the public sphere. This analysis may advance our understanding of schools as arenas of incoherency and contradictions, of simultaneously pushing toward contradictory civic education ideals; it may highlight the civic significance of pedagogy choice and raise the issue of cultivating informal civic education pedagogies as a basic student right, a democratic right to cultivate ‘voice’.

RESUMEN A lo largo de la historia, sobre todo en el ámbito local, el papel que llevaron a cabo las mujeres fue el de ser amas de casa, madres y esposas, además de proveer de alimentos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha discutido y estudiado sobre si estas actividades son parte de lo privado y reproductivo o realmente pertenecen a lo público y productivo. Es así como, desde la perspectiva de género y de la economía feminista se pueden analizar estas proposiciones y visualizar los papeles que se designan a los hombres y a las mujeres en una sociedad, para de esta manera determinar las formas de comportamiento en lo social, jurídico, económico, cultural o en la vida cotidiana y rastrear el origen de tales condiciones. La presente investigación utiliza la metodología del análisis bibliográfico, mediante el cual se recopila el concepto y teória de la Economía Social y Solidaria y su conexión con la Economía Feminista, que, en conclusión, logran complementar y apuestan por una reorganización del trabajo en el que se valorice el trabajo de las mujeres en particular reconociendo la construcción de una nueva economía.   ABSTRACT Throughout history, especially at the local level, the role of women was to be housewives, mothers and wives, as well as providing food. However, in recent years there has been discussion and study of whether these activities are part of the private and reproductive or actually belong to the public and productive. This is how, from the perspective of gender and the feminist economy, these proposals can be analyzed and the roles that men and women are appointed in a society, in order to determine the forms of behavior in the social, legal, economic, cultural or daily life and trace the origin of such conditions. This research uses the methodology of bibliographic analysis, which collects the concept and theory of the Social and Solidarity Economy and its connection with the Feminist Economy, which, in conclusion, succeed in complementing and committed to a reorganization of work in which the work of women in particular is valued recognizing the construction of a new economy.

Resumen: Si en la sociedad patriarcal de la tardía Edad Moderna el matrimonio gozaba de gran popularidad e idealización, ¿cuál era el papel de las mujeres que no seguían esta trayectoria? Desde un planteamiento interdisciplinar, entre la Historia y la Literatura, pretendemos conocer la postura de las mujeres solteras y apostar por nuevas perspectivas en el estudio de la soltería. Y una de ellas, sin duda significativa en Inglaterra y en la mayor parte de Europa, es el modelo de mujer que extraemos, desde la obra y la propia vida de Jane Austen (1775-1817). ¿Cómo se construye el estereotipo de la solterona? ¿Cuál es la imagen de la mujer soltera en su obra? ¿Qué procesos ideológicos se estaban produciendo a finales del siglo XVIII? ¿Cuál era, si lo había, el nuevo universo doméstico? Esta metodología de trabajo nos permitirá además, conocer los itinerarios individuales de los personajes, reflejo de las trayectorias sociales y de una época en continuo proceso de cambio y transformación.Palabras clave: Solterona, mujer, matrimonio, Jane Austen, construcción social, interdisciplinariedadAbstract: In the patriarchal society of the late Modern Age, marriage had a high popularity and idealization, begging the question as to the role of unmarried women. This interdisciplinary work, combining History and Literature, seeks new perspectives to approach the study of single marital status and single women’s role in society. One of these perspectives, very important in England and most of Europe, is the model of woman taken from Jane Austen’s life and works (1775-1817). The paper looks at the construction of the spinster stereotype, the image of single women in Austen’s work, the ideological processes underway by the end of eighteenth century, and the “new domestic universe”. Furthermore, this methodology allows us to trace the individual itineraries of characters, reflecting the social trajectories at a time of change and transformation.Key words: Spinster, woman, marriage, Jane Austen, social construction, interdisciplinarity

The Public Sphere

Contemporary Catholic Social Teaching has increasingly come to bear on the moral and political horizons of our interdependent lives, seeking to address the nature and purpose of our common striving for human flourishing. Frequently, Rerum Novarum is identified as an origin point for CST as a distinctive thread within the deeper tradition of Catholic theology attentive to justice and the common good. The focus on justice in labour practices, especially living wages and social participation, demonstrates its contemporary relevance, but can it contribute to the public debate on such issues, beyond the framework of its particular convictions? This article suggests that Rerum Novarum offers theological reasoning in and for the public sphere by way of its insistence on the social bond as foundation and task; the role of political and cultural plurality in formation and action; and a rich vision of public life as morally participatory for all.

By taking into account the social, historic, political and cultural continuities and discontinuities,aswell as the permanent metamorphosis of the public sphere, this articleaims at a comparative analysis of the multidimensional impact of the intellectual critiqueof the 60’s and 70’s and that of the first decade of the 2000’s. This article therefore aspiresat understanding if some of the nuances of the intellectuals’ engagement of the60’s and 70’s social movements still persist today as regards the role of the contemporaryintellectual when facing the emerging cultural, social, political and economic crisis,which — although caused by different publics, interests and contexts — tend tohave some characteristics and contours in common. Thiswork aims at understanding(1) if intellectuals have reclaimed their voice, so far silent, in the public sphere, (2) ifthey have been contributing with social, cultural and political alternatives and even (3)if they have been fostering communication forums with the objective of instigating alternativesto the alternative imposed by the system.

Urban Gorillas, a Cyprus based NGO, emerged at the aftermath of the 2013 socio-economic crisis where the notion of publicness was deeply shaken. A cross-examination of the public sphere has led the team to coin the term publicscape and identify working methodologies within this context. Urban Gorillas took on the role of a catalyst between underused public spaces and the society’s uneasy relationship with the notion of publicness. The work, spontaneous in nature, temporarily transforms spaces while creating permanent human networks. The recurring temporariness that characterises the actions revokes activism in the social structure, revitalising physical spaces and inspiring an urban culture of participation.
