Present Text

Based on the contributions of critical theory, the present text aims to expose in which ways the state intervenes in technological advancement within the capitalist system and the conditions in which it grants tools, both to ruling classes and to the dominated classes, to access, develop and implement technology. The argument that is upheld is that the state apparatus has to cover the necessary conditions so that knowledge in technological matters continues to be generated, but it is also essential that it provide the pertinent conditions so that the working class has the appropriate tools to be able to operate it.

The Voice

A Amazônia é um hidroterritório e um bioma que comporta milhares de pessoas, espécies da fauna e flora. O Rio Dendê, em Barcarena-Pará, faz parte deste cenário. Este rio é palco de conflitos de interesses entre empresas transnacionais, o estado e comunidades ribeirinhas. O estudo analisa, a partir de estudo documental e observação participante, estes conflitos, situando-os em um panorama histórico-interpretativo, com foco no papel do Estado e na r-existência das comunidades ribeirinhas. O aparato estatal se apresenta através da ação da Companhia de Desenvolvimento Econômico, da Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade e do Ministério Público A voz das comunidades serve como contrapartida. Conclui, ainda, que o apoio do estado é fundamental para o avanço do capital sobre o hidroterritório Dendê, empobrecendo-o e transformando o modo de vida dos ribeirinhos que mesmo assim r-existem.Palavras-chave: Conflito socioambiental.

Amazônia.WATER IN LIVING STATE: socio-environmental conflict and r-existence around the Dendê River, Barcarena, ParáAbstractThe Amazon is a hydroterritory and a biome that holds thousands of people, species of fauna and flora. The Dendê River in Barcarena-Pará is part of this scenario. This river is the scene of conflicts of interest between transnational corporations, the state and riverside communities. From documentary study and participant observation, we analyze these conflicts, situating them in a historical-interpretative panorama, focusing on the role of the state and the r-existence of riverside communities. The state apparatus is presented through the action of the Company of Economic Development, the State Secretariat ofEnvironment and Sustainability and the Public Prosecutor. The voice of the communities serves as a counterpart. It can be concluded that state support is fundamental for the advancement of capital over the Dendê hydroterritory, impoverishing it and transforming the way of life of the riverside communities.Keywords: Socioenvironmental conflict.

Legal Professions

Legal occupations vary dramatically from country to country—in scope of activity, education, organization, and institutional setting. This essay proposes to study legal occupations focusing on their relations to the state rather than on their character as “professions.” It builds on the recent renaissance of state-centered approaches in the social sciences. A review of the diversity of law work and legal occupations in different countries leads to state-centered conceptualizations that identify institutionally comparable features of law work. A sketch of the European historical background of modern legal professions yields theoretical principles that can inform the proposed approach. Variations in the role of the state and in the relation of lawyers to the state apparatus are then shown to be related to differences between national legal professions. Even where the law is primarily seen as a profession, the character of law work is better understood when related to the state.

Election Violence

Abstract Research has highlighted the role of the state in sustaining authoritarian regimes. But how does state capacity support autocrats during elections? The author argues that one specific aspect of state capacity – control over territory through the state apparatus – helps autocrats ensure large majority electoral victories. High-capacity rulers can rely on local agents and institutions to subtly manipulate elections, for instance by controlling the media or inhibiting the work of domestic election monitors throughout the territory while staying clear of costly manipulation such as election violence. In cross-national analyses of authoritarian multiparty elections from 1946 to 2017, the study finds that state territorial control increases the likelihood of large victories. Furthermore, high levels of state control correlate with subtle strategies of manipulation, including media bias and restrictions on domestic monitors – strategies that are also positively associated with large victories. At the same time, state control is negatively associated with election violence.

Quais as implicações da pandemia para a população em situação de rua? Quais foram as respostas do Estado? Há um novo perfil de pessoas em situação de rua? Esses são alguns dos elementos discutidos neste artigo, cujo objetivo é debater sobre as implicações das medidas de contenção da pandemia do novo coronavírus para a vida desse grupo populacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, feita em dois sítios digitais no período entre março a julho de 2020, pautada pela teoria crítica. Os resultados indicam que houve crescimento dos que vivem nas ruas, e sua sobrevivência foi obstaculizada, visto a impossibilidade ou redução da realização dos trabalhos informais, sua principal fonte de sobrevivência. O Estado brasileiro ampliou o número de vagas em abrigos, criou abrigos emergenciais, instalou pias em locais públicos, todavia, tais medidas foram insuficientes para lidar com a questão.THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19 AND ITS INCIDENCES FOR THE HOMELESS POPULATIONAbstractWhat are the implications of the pandemic for the homeless? What were the State's responses? Is there a new profile of homeless people? These are some of the elements discussed in this article, which aims to discuss the implications of the measures to contain the pandemic of the new coronavirus for the life of this population group. This is a bibliographical research, carried out in two websites from March to July 2020, based on the critical theory. The results indicate that there has been an increase of those who live on the streets, and their survival has been hindered, given the impossibility or reduction of informal work, their main source of survival. The Brazilian State expanded the number of places in shelters, created emergency shelters, installed sinks in public places, however, such measures were insufficient to deal with the issue.Keywords: Population in homeless situation.

RESUMO: O texto analisa a dimensão socioeconômica e política da modernidade. A modernidade tem no sistema capitalista seu principal motor. Nenhuma inter­pretação da modernidade pode desconsiderar o capitalismo. Sua inviabilidade será demonstrada através de uma abordagem crítica de seus elementos essen­ciais: acumulação ilimitada de capital/riqueza, exploração do trabalho humano e devastação da natureza, como também sua fundamentação teórica (liberalismo) e o papel do Estado. Essa aproximação servirá de base para uma leitura teológica da inviabilidade do capitalismo.ABSTRACT: The text analyses the socioeconomic and political dimension of mo­dernity. Modernity has its driving force in the capitalist system. No interpretation of modernity can disregard capitalism. Its infeasibility will be shown through a critical study of its essential elements: unlimited accumulation of capital/wealth, exploitation of human labor and the devastation of nature; as well as its theoretical framework (liberalism) and the role of the State. This approach will serve as the base for a theological reading of the infeasibility of capitalism.
