Satyagraha, or non-cooperation or passive resistance, did not begin with Mahatma Gandhi. As Gandhi acknowledged, he did not ‘invent’ satyagraha, he learnt it from the people of India. The contemporary movements against apartheid, separation on the basis of religion and race, are a continuation of the spirit of Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. For Gandhi, satyagraha, the force of truth, was the force not to cooperate with unjust laws that called for a ‘no’ from our deepest conscience. The Champaran Satyagraha against the forced cultivation of indigo and the Salt Satyagraha against the colonial salt law inspired us at Navdanya to start the Bija Satyagraha, which is the Seed Freedom Movement. These seeds have been given freely by nature and by our ancestors who have evolved them. It is our duty to save them and our biodiversity. Navdanya does not cooperate with laws that falsely claim that corporations have ‘invented’ seeds and therefore can take a patent on them: such unconscionable laws aim to criminalise a farmer’s saving and robs them of their seed freedom.

Resumo O artigo estuda as propostas de emancipação cidadã nas autobiografias de Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) e Nelson Mandela (1918-2013). Para isso, enfoca nas categorias-conceito: “ser” amor (FROMM, 1956, 1976), transutilitário (FROMM, 1977); prática da não violência (MULLER, 2007); dialogia (SENNETT, 2012; RESTREPO, 1998); direitos à comunicação (PERUZZO, 2009) e direitos humanos (GALLARDO, 2014; BOBBIO, 2004; MARSHALL, 1967), da análise de conteúdo (KRIPPENDORFF, 1990; FONSECA JÚNIOR, 2015), que somada à análise hermenêutica (THOMPSON, 2011) compõem o caminho metodológico traçado. Como resultado, observa-se a habilidade em mediar, a partir da experiência dialógica e ativa, desenvolvendo diante de conflitos e situações díspares de direitos humanos, potencialidade de ser e agir em prol do bem-estar coletivo.

In Spring 2010, a manuscript version of Ralph Ellison's unfinished second novel, Three Days before the Shooting, was finally published. Written over the course of more than forty years and running to 1,100 pages, the novel not only has a great deal to tell us about Ellison's craft and his approach to the civil rights movement; it also speaks eloquently to traditions of leadership on American race relations stretching from the days of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass through the rise of Martin Luther King, Jr., and, ultimately, Barack Obama.

O presente artigo apresenta a correlação entre não violência e dignidade humana a partir de um mapeamento do termo “não violência” nos textos do magistério dos papas. Originada no jainismo, a ideia da não violência foi defendida no último século sobretudo por Mahatma Gandhi e Martin Luther King Jr. Foi absorvida pelos papas do pós-Concílio Vaticano II a partir do diálogo inter-religioso e intercultural, embora seja tida também por eles como inerente à fé cristã. Paulo VI foi o primeiro papa a utilizar a expressão “não violência” em seus textos, sendo que o primeiro uso remonta a 1964. João Paulo II destacou que o fundamento da não violência é o reconhecimento da dignidade humana, no que foi seguido por seus sucessores, Bento XVI e Francisco, cada um a seu próprio modo. Como resultado, nota-se a força de sentido da não violência em sua possibilidade de contribuição a uma ética pública, como elemento de destaque no diálogo inter-religioso e como resistência às formas religiosas de expressão que se caracterizam justamente pelo ódio e pela violência.

verbatim will be considered in order to explore poetic language, its function and its existence. The first extract in Figure 2.3, below, is from a speech by a civil rights activist committed to peaceful protest in 1960s America, the second and third extracts are from the summing up in an English libel case in 1983. 2.5.2.1 Extract 1: ‘I have a dream’: Martin Luther King (28 August 1963) Read Figure 2.3, below. This is a political speech, using religious imagery, poetic and emotional language to construct an argument challenging the American Government, calling upon it to honour the promises made in the Declaration of Independence. Obviously this speech has a particular context, ie, geography. Its immediate context is with American civil rights canvassing for race and sex equality laws. With regard to geography, many students may not properly take in the importance of the place where the speech is made. It is made at the Lincoln memorial. This is the memorial to Abraham Lincoln who went to war in the 19th century on the issue of slavery, won and secured the freedom of slaves in the Emancipation Declaration. So, the opening sentence most importantly draws attention to Lincoln:
