El escrito analiza cómo las políticas estatales provinciales configuraron nudos territoriales en la zona donde se ubica la comunidad Campo Maripe, al norte de Añelo, el corazón de la formación geológica Vaca Muerta. Se sostiene que estas políticas diseñaron los espacios impulsando territorialidades asociadas a determinadas actividades económicas y trajeron como consecuencia la desterritorialización indígena. La comunidad Campo Maripe, cuyo territorio actualmente se superpone parcialmente con el yacimiento hidrocarburífero Loma Campana -uno de los tres más relevantes en la extracción por métodos no convencionales-, ha sido seleccionada como caso de estudio en función de la notoriedad de sus estrategias de resistencia durante los últimos años. Se utilizan fuentes escritas y orales para caracterizar el complejo panorama de la superposición de territorialidades a partir de las políticas provinciales y el desarrollo de dinámicas específicas en las interacciones de los diferentes actores dentro de los nudos territoriales. The paper analyses how Neuquen’s state policies configured territorial knots in the area where the mapuce community Campo Maripe is located, in northern Añelo, the core of the Vaca Muerta geological formation. It is argued that these policies designed spaces boosting certain economic activities and their associated territorialities and brought indigenous deterritorialization as a consequence. The Mapuce community Campo Maripe, whose territory currently partially overlaps with the Loma Campana oil field -one of the three most important fields in the extraction of hydrocarbons by non-conventional methods-, has been selected as a case study due to how notorious its resistance strategies have become over the last few years. Written documents and oral testimonies are used to characterize the complex scenario of territorial overlapping caused by state policies and the development of specific interactions between the different actors within the territorial knots.

I propose that the notion of possession adds an important ideological nuance to the analyses of iconic books set forth by Martin Marty (1980) and, more recently, by James Watts (2006). Using the early second century BCE book of Sirach as a case study, I tease out some of the symbolic dynamics through which the Bible achieved iconic status in the first place, that is, the conditions in which significance was attached to its material, finite shape. For Ben Sira, this symbolism was deeply tied to his honor-shame ethos in which women posed a threat to the honor of his eternal name, a threat resolved through his possession of Torah figured as the Woman Wisdom. What my analysis suggests is that the conflicted perceptions of gender in Ben Sira’s text is fundamental to his appropriation of, and attempt to produce, authoritative religious literature, and thus essential for understanding his relationship to this emerging canon. Torah, conceived as female, was the core of this canon, but Ben Sira adds his own literary production to this female “body” (or feminized corpus, if you will), becoming the voice of both through the experience of perfect possession.

Abstract An optimally designed tax amnesty scheme can serve as a strategic component in a larger tax reform process. Such a reform can particularly assist in the tax collection efforts of developing economies like Pakistan. Pakistan’s tax amnesty schemes in 2018 and 2019 helped grow the tax base substantially. India’s and Indonesia’s schemes in 2016 also showed promise. My study compares the recent tax amnesties adopted by these three countries (Pakistan, India and Indonesia). Based on these experiences, I propose improvements in the composition of Pakistan’s tax amnesty design. An optimal tax policy cannot rely only on wide-spread enforcement, particularly in countries with large underground economies--like Pakistan, India and Indonesia. Instead, it should focus more on the optimal amnesty design alongside targeted enforcement efforts, aimed especially at documenting and taxing large underground economic activities.

And Migration

During the 2015 refugee crisis in Europe, temporary refugee shelters arose in the Netherlands to shelter the large influx of asylum seekers. The largest shelter was located in the eastern part of the country. This shelter, where tents housed nearly 3,000 asylum seekers, was managed with a firm top-down approach. However, many residents of the shelter—mainly Syrians and Eritreans—developed horizontal relations with the local receiving society, using social media to establish contact and exchange services and goods. This case study shows how various types of crisis communication played a role and how the different worlds came together. Connectivity is discussed in relation to inclusion, based on resilient (non-)humanitarian approaches that link society with social media. Moreover, we argue that the refugee crisis can be better understood by looking through the lens of connectivity, practices, and migration infrastructure instead of focusing only on state policies.

The Core

In this article, we explore how the discourses around gender are evolving at the core of Brazilian politics. Our focus lies on the discourses at the public hearing on the bill 3.492/19, which aimed at including “gender ideology” on the list of heinous crimes. We aim to identify the deputies’ linguistic representation of social actors as pertaining to in- and outgroups. In addition, the article analyzes through Critical Discourse Analysis how the terminology gender is represented in this particular hearing. The analysis shows how some of the conservative parliamentarians give a clearly negative meaning to the term gender, by labeling it “gender ideology” and additionally connecting it with heinous crimes. We propose that the re-signification of “gender ideology,” from rhetorical invention to heinous crime, is not only an attempt to undermine scientific gender studies but also a way for conservative deputies to gain more political power.
