The book concludes with a chapter that considers Brecht in the light of recent, postmodernist and other developments in theatre. It draws on contemporary ideas on performance of significant practitioners such as Augusto Boal, Eugenio Barba, Howard Barker, David Hare and, in particular, Edward Bond, and assesses ways in which Brecht’s plays may be performed now. Finally, it speculates about the future and the continuing need for Brechtian theatre. As the man himself said: We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help trans-form the field itself.

Este trabalho visou analisar as contribuições da dimensão lúdica encontrada no Teatro do Oprimido e no desenvolvimento da Educação Emocional, durante o ensino infantil. O embasamento teórico esteve ancorado em discussões a respeito da compreensão de lúdico encontrada na escola e da relação deste com as propostas para o teatro, consideradas por Augusto Boal. Realizamos discussões que valorizaram a formação sensível e emocional dos estudantes deste nível de ensino, as maneiras que o lúdico chegava até os alunos e como o teatro poderia ter contribuído na construção da autonomia e liberdade da criança. A pesquisa teve como objetivo principal, “compreender como o Lúdico no Teatro do Oprimido contribui para uma valorização da Educação Emocional”. A fundamentação teórica proporcionou uma leitura mais consciente e clara sobre a Ludicidade na Educação Infantil e, em especial, na formação plena e humana da criança e foi construída por meio de estudos de diversos autores, tais como: Boal (1980), Casassus (2009), Maluf (2008) e Schiller (2002). Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de natureza bibliográfica, de caráter exploratório-descritivo. Ao término deste estudo podemos concluir que a abordagem sensível das interpretações do lúdico é um ponto de intersecção entre as situações da vida cotidiana e as emoções que emanam dela, o que faz do lúdico um importante elemento ao conhecimento e autoregulação das emoções afloradas nas relações humanas, o que contribui de maneira ativa e significativa para o desenvolvimento da inteligência emocional.Palavras-chave: Educação.

Teatro do Oprimido. Emotional education in child education: a perspective from the lúdico in the theater of the oprimido de Augusto BoalABSTRACTThis work aimed to analyze the contributions of the play dimension found in the Theater of the Oppressed and the development of Emotional Education during the infantile education. The theoretical basis was anchored in discussions about the understanding of playfulness found in the school and its relation with the proposals for the theater, considered by Augusto Boal. We held discussions that valued the sensitive and emotional formation of the students at this level of education, the ways that the playfulness came to the students and how the theater could have contributed to the construction of the autonomy and freedom of the child. The main objective of the research was to “understand how the Playful in the Theater of the Oppressed contributes to an appreciation of Emotional Education”. The theoretical basis provided a more conscious and clear reading about Ludicidad in Early Childhood Education and, especially, in the full and human formation of the child and was constructed through studies of several authors, such as: Boal (1980), Casassus (2009) , Maluf (2008) and Schiller (2002). It was a research of bibliographic nature, of exploratory descriptive nature. At the end of this study we can conclude that the sensitive approach of play interpretations is a point of intersection between the situations of everyday life and the emotions emanating from it, which makes the playful one an important element to the knowledge and self-regulation of emotions arising in human relations, which contributes in an active and meaningful way to the development of emotional intelligence.Keywords: Education.

Civil War soldiers enjoyed unprecedented access to obscene materials of all sorts, including mass-produced erotic fiction, carte de visite, playing cards, and stereographs. With a series of antebellum legal, technological, and commercial developments as a foundation, the concentration of men into armies ushered in a wartime triumph of pornography. Illicit materials entered camps in haversacks, through the mail, or sold by sutlers; soldiers found it discarded on the ground and civilians discovered it in abandoned camps. Little of it survived the war, though, as soldiers did not keep it and archives did not collect it. Even so, porn raised concerns among reformers and lawmakers who launched a postwar campaign to combat it. At the war’s end, a victorious, resurgent nation-state sought to assert its moral authority by redefining human relations of the most intimate sort, including the regulation of sex and reproduction, most evident in the Comstock Laws, a federal law and a series of state measures outlawing pornography, contraception, and abortion. Sex and the Civil War is the first book to take the erotica and pornography that men read and shared seriously and to link the postwar reaction to porn to debates about the future of sex and marriage.

Many students of human relations in South Africa would probably agree that an understanding of the policy of racial separation and the general determination of whites not to yield power to the black majority necessitates an awareness of their fears. The importance of this factor can hardly be overlooked, especially if it is defined broadly along the lines suggested by Philip Mason in his succinct study of racial tensions around the globe: There are fears of all kinds… There is the vague and simple fear of something strange and unknown, there is the very intelligible fear of unemployment, and the fear of being outvoted by people whose way of life is quite different. There are fears for the future and memories of fear in the past, fears given an extra edge by class conflict, by a sense of guilt, by sex and conscience… Fear may also act as a catalytic agent, changing the nature of factors previously not acutely malignant, such as the association in metaphor of the ideas of white and black with good and evil… Where the dominant are in the minority they are surely more frightened.1

Abstract This article sets out to analyse Brazil, land of the future, by Stefan Zweig, highlighting the links that connect the book to the Brazilian, North American and European intellectual contexts, as well as to travel writing, exile and cosmopolitanism. Brazil, land of the future contains a tense dialogue, full of failed encounters, between Zweig and the Brazilian milieu: between the author’s cosmopolitan and multilingual horizon, the impossibility of belonging and his constant feeling of maladjustment. We examine Brazil, land of the future as another manifesto of the 1930s and 1940s anti-racist agenda, the product of cross-dialogues that were not limited to the social reflection on Brazil, but encompassed an international intellectual and political agenda that was continually discussed and disseminated in the United States and Europe and that approached Brazil as a field for experimenting, certifying and positivizing human relations.

In addition to developing international relations, trade and infrastructure financing, China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) also includes efforts to build human relations and socio-cultural exchanges between China and other countries. Human relations and socio-cultural exchanges have not been widely discussed in previous China’s BRI studies, such as labor migration, tourism relations, education, and social and cultural exchanges. All sectors have the potential to further increase in the amount and larger scale of cooperation in the future. This paper examined the extent to which this cooperation has developed in Indonesia. Furthermore, what are the constraints, to what extent are the critical roles of human relations and socio-cultural exchanges, and what matters should be followed up to strengthen relations between Indonesia and China?

This chapter summarizes the aims and conclusions of the work. In addition, this concluding chapter sets out five ‘light’ challenges, and related propositions, for development of IR theory, propositions reflective of the sensibility relational cosmology, as translated here via critical humanism, might direct us to adopt. Many challenges remain, but we should not feel weighed down by them but explore new ways of thinking, being, and becoming as we ‘loosen’ ourselves into the ‘mesh’ and the complex negotiations of human and non-human relations residing there requires. IR of the future will likely be more open, more interdisciplinary, and hopefully more cosmologically aware, and it has the opportunity to develop new ways of thinking and doing co-existence and politics.

“Aboriginal people have not … invented childhood.” This statement goes to the very heart of the difference between Western and Aboriginal societies as far as children are concerned. Aboriginal children have always remained part of the adult world.Separation or exclusion from adult activities was kept to a minimum. Indeed, most of those activities were planned and organised to ensure the maximum involvement of as many children as possible. This applied to hunting and gathering, to dance, song, and many ceremonies. From the earliest age, they were aware of what was going on in the community, and were exposed to the whole spectrum of human relations. The expression “not in front of the children”, which became the title of a TV sitcom some years ago, would not have been used by Murris.

Norbert Elias is one of the great scholars who calls attention to the need for interdisciplinary studies related to actual societies’ challenges. He was one of the precursors of ‘Figurational Sociology,’ through which human relations are studied in a processual way (micro and macro-social aspects). Elias's focus was to understand these concepts, not as a state of fixed and immutable things, but to understand them in terms of their process. In this report, it is pointed out that the ‘civilizing process’ ended up imposing on individuals a greater number of activities as well as greater dependence and complexity in the social relations network. Such factors required a common denominator to regulate such relationships. In this case, the denominator was called ‘time’. By studying time, we may contribute to correct this erroneous image of a world with watertight compartments such as nature, society, and individuals. These are mixed and interdependent and require an interdisciplinary approach. Interdisciplinary studies of time and what to expect of the future are still waiting to being done.

Pegandon Village, Karangdadap District, Pekalongan, one of the areas affected by the Pemalang-Batang toll road. The project has many negative impacts on the communities around the village, including children. This village is also known as a village with vast rice fields and rivers in the area. Children are the environmental assets of the future that play a very important role in preserving natural resources. So, their understanding of the Qur'anic teachings about environment is the key to maintaining human relations with nature. With a good understanding, it fosters the sensitivity to be a creature for nature in future generations. This empowerment is intended to provide understanding and sensitivity of children, especially for students of Quranic Education Park (TPQ) and Madrasah Diniyah Bustanul Iman, Pegandon Karangdadap Village, Pekalongan. Empowerment is built with the assistance method with a contextual, cooperative and problem-based approach. Empowerment is presented through the introduction of verses that teach about the environment, including natural wealth, the prohibition of damaging the environment and the obligation to preserve it. The series of activities that have been carried out have positive implications for children of TPQ and Madrasah Diniyah Bustanul Iman because they have been able to understand and practice environmental verses as teachings to preserve the environment from damage and efforts to conserve it.
