Semantic Scope

Num contexto de crise da modernidade, novos desafios se impõem – a nova racionalidade, o mundo da insignificância e o pluralismo cultural e religioso, com implicações para a semântica e a sintática da teologia. Ainda que tenham adquirido amplitude mundial, nem por isso se manifestam com a mesma intensidade e da mesma maneira em âmbito local. No âmbito da semântica da teologia, os novos desafios obrigam a um alargamento do conceito de teologia, a uma relação inter e transdisciplinar com as demais ciências, a ser uma prática teórica relevante para os pobres e a autocompreender-se desde a pluriculturalidade e a plurirreligiosidade. No âmbito da sintática da teologia, os novos desafios exigem um novo paradigma teológico, que permita integrar em seu discurso as novas perguntas emergentes, no horizonte de uma ‘terceira ilustração’, que tem no pluralismo, não um ponto de partida, mas um pressuposto.ABSTRACT: In the crisis context of modernity, new challenges are imposed – the new rationality, the world of insignificance and the cultural and religious pluralism, with implications for the semantic and the syntactic dimensions of theology. Although these challenges have acquired world amplitude, they are not so evident with the same intensity and in the same manner at the local level. In the semantic scope of theology, the new challenges compel a widening of the concept of theology to an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary relation with other sciences to be a theoretically relevant practice for the poor and to self awareness from the multicultural and multireligious dimensions. In the syntactic scope of theology, the new challenges require a new theological paradigm that allows the integration of new emerging questions in its discourse, on the horizon of a ‘third illustration’, that has in pluralism, not a point of departure but rather a presupposition.

Point Of Departure

This paper uses F.W.J. Schelling’s Naturphilsophie as a point of departure to theorize the concept of digital labour. Beginning with Marx’s distinction between fulfilling and unfulfilling labour, it is argued that the former is labour that is immanent to, and in line with, the Schellingian notion of Nature as process and ungrounded ground, while the unfulfilling variant externalizes Nature and attempts to use it against itself in the service of capital, and the establishment of what I call a state-of-power. Schelling’s The Ages of the World is re-interpreted by exchanging his version of immaterial spirituality for digital virtuality, and as a result, digital labour is viewed as a consequence of previous forms of world historical developments. While digital virtuality is in fact materialist in terms of both the labour that activates it, and the substrate that sustains it, the materiality of the digital is often overlooked in favour of an anti-materialist stance that works to disconnect the digital labourer from their online activity, and preclude the critical self-awareness necessary for the acknowledgement of their online “playful” activity as work. It ends with an analysis of Mark Zuckerberg’s ideational attempt to “re-wire” the world via Facebook’s digital infrastructure, which begins to set the conditions of possibility for inter-personal interaction, and explores the possibilities for resistance available in Foucault’s notion of the care of the self.

Partnership Approach

Sustainable development is a global imperative, and strategic partnerships involving business, government and civil society may present a successful approach for the development of communities around the world. Business Partners for Development (BPD) is an informal network of partners that seeks to demonstrate that partnerships among these three sectors can achieve more at the local level than any of the groups acting individually. The Water and Sanitation Cluster of the BPD has been working with eight partnership projects around the world to determine the efficacy of the partnership approach in providing water and sanitation to the poor. Measuring the effectiveness of these partnerships, however, proves challenging. Different interested and affected groups will measure the success of the initiative along different sets of criteria. Partnership elicits qualitative values such as trust, responsiveness and flexibility that are more likely to be “measured” by gut reactions rather than by more mechanical means. However, the creation and maintenance of a carefully selected set of indicators for a specific partnership project should enhance relations by increasing clarity and building stronger communication channels. The paper below provides considerations for the creation of partnership indicators.

As Conclusões de Medellín continuam relevantes para os dias atuais, não só porque o mundo dos pobres mudou muito pouco nestes 50 anos, mas, sobretudo, porque suas intuições básicas e mudanças principais, em grande medida, continuam pendentes de uma implementação mais consequente. Entre elas estão: situar-se no reverso da história, a periferia como o centro da Igreja, de uma Igreja para os pobres a uma pobre, em tempo novo uma nova evangelização, a salvação como libertação integral, a injustiça institucionalizada como pecado social e a diakonía histórica como profetismo. Depois de uma década de franco dinamismo e criatividade, a partir da década de 1980 também a Igreja na América Latina entrou num gradativo processo de “involução eclesial”, só interrompido com a Conferência de Aparecida e a eleição do Papa Francisco. Os “ventos que sopram do Sul” estão reacendendo as intuições de Medellín, guardadas zelosamente, mas pendentes de tempo favorável e terreno propício para continuar seu processo, que agora chegou.Palavras-chave: Medellín. Evangelização. Libertação. Pobres. Profetismo.Abstract: The Medellín Conclusions remain relevant to the present day, not only because the world of the poor has changed very little in these 50 years, but because their basic intuitions and main changes remain pending of a more consequent implementation. Among them there are: be situate on the reverse side of history, the periphery as the center of the Church, from a Church for the poor to a poor Church, in a new time a new evangelization, salvation as integral liberation, institutionalized injustice as social sin and historical diakonia as prophetism. After a decade of frank dynamism and creativity, since the 1980s, the Church in Latin America has also entered a gradual process of “ecclesial involution”, interrupted only by the Aparecida Conference and the election of Pope Francisco. The “winds that blow from the South” are rekindling Medellin’s intuitions, guarded zealously, but pending favorable weather and propitious ground to continue its process, which has now arrived.Key words: Medellin, Evangelization, Liberation, Poor, Prophecy

New Challenges

China's socioeconomic accumulation in the last 30 years has been probably one of the most outstanding global developments and has resulted in massive new challenges for core and periphery countries. The article examines how China's rapid and massive integration to the world market has posed new challenges for countries such as Mexico - and most of Latin America - as a result of China's successful exportoriented industrialization. China's accumulation and global integration process does, however, not only question and challenges the export-possibilities in the periphery, but also the global inability to provide energy in the medium term.

The implementation ofthe capitalist system has eliminated the Islamic values in economic practice. After the financial crisis hit the world, the capitalist system reaped many questions and its greatnessbegins to be doubted. The capitalist system implementationprecisely creates new problems in the economy. The concept of individualism which is the main key in capitalist practice only creates economic injustice and misery of the poor. The only economic theory that is expected as a light in dealing with economic problems is an economic system that is able to create justice,the welfare of all parties and blessings both the world and the hereafter. The theory is the Islamic economics which in practice is inseparable from Islamiceconomic law. Islamic economic law that underlies the Islamic economic system is totally different from the capitalist economic system.Keywords: Islamic Economic Law; Islamic economics; Capitalist Economy

Although youth are often thought of as targets for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) programmes, they are also active partners in creating a more sustainable world and effective ESD programmes. Today, more than ever, young women and men are change-makers, building new realities for themselves and their communities. All over the world, youth are driving social change and innovation, claiming respect for their fundamental human rights and freedoms, and seeking new opportunities to learn and work together for a better future. The education sector is generally seen as the most appropriate forum for involving children and youth in sustainable development, and initiatives to this end have been adopted in many countries. The present paper puts forth such initiatives, interventions and strategies that can be undertaken to engage youth in education for sustainable development at the global as well as the local level.

Twenty First Century

The world faces significant and interrelated challenges in the twenty-first century which threaten human rights in a number of ways. This book examines the relationship between human rights and three of the largest challenges of the twenty-first century: conflict and security, environment, and poverty. Technological advances in fighting wars have led to the introduction of new weapons which threaten to transform the very nature of conflict. In addition, states confront threats to security which arise from a new set of international actors not clearly defined and which operate globally. Climate change, with its potentially catastrophic impacts, features a combination of characteristics which are novel for humanity. The problem is caused by the sum of innumerable individual actions across the globe and over time, and similarly involves risks that are geographically and temporally diffuse. In recent decades, the challenges involved in addressing global and national poverty have also changed. For example, the relative share of the poor in the world population has decreased significantly while the relative share of the poor who live in countries with significant domestic capacity has increased strongly. Overcoming these global and interlocking threats constitutes this century’s core political and moral task. This book examines how these challenges may be addressed using a human rights framework. It considers how these challenges threaten human rights and seeks to reassess our understanding of human rights in the light of these challenges. The analysis considers both foundational and applied questions. The approach is multidisciplinary and contributors include some of the most prominent lawyers, philosophers, and political theorists in the debate. The authors not only include leading academics but also those who have played important roles in shaping the policy debates on these questions. Each Part includes contributions by those who have served as Special Rapporteurs within the United Nations human rights system on the challenges under consideration.

Abstract Private agricultural research and development can foster the growth of agricultural productivity in the diverse farming systems of the developing world comparable to the public sector. We examine the extent to which technologies developed by private entities reach smallholder and resource-poor farmers, and the impact they have on poverty reduction. We critically review cases of successfully deployed improved agricultural technologies delivered by the private sector in both large and small developing countries for instructive lessons for policy makers around the world.

AbstractThis paper argues that abductive reasoning has a central place in theorizing Health Professions Education. At the root of abduction lies a fundamental debate: How do we connect practice, which is always singular and unique, with theory, which describes the world in terms of rules, generalizations, and universals? While abduction was initially seen as the ‘poor cousin’ of deduction and induction, ultimately it has something important to tell us about the role of imagination and humility in theorizing Health Professions Education. It is that which makes theory possible, because it allows us to ask what might be the case and calls attention to the role of creative leaps in theory. Becoming aware of the abductive reasoning we already perform in our research allows us to take the role of imagination—something rarely associated with theory—seriously.
