The black eyes of Bruce Lee : From Normative to Descriptive & Prescriptive Multiculturalism

Khosravi Noori, Behzad January 2012 (has links)
Multiculturalism or cultural pluralism is a policy, ideal, or reality that emphasizes the unique characteristics of different cultures in the world, especially as they relate to one another in immigrant receiving nations. The word was first used in 1957 to describe Switzerland but first came into common currency in Canada in the late 1960s2. It quickly spread to other English- speaking and western developed countries.Although There is no clear link between the multiculturalism and the term that so called Balkanization, But this research tries to present the similar possibility of Multiculturalism discourse and Balkanization as a geopolitical term. In fact this research believes that   balkanization is The same idea of multiculturalism in practice, when it comes to the idea of state. On the other hand Vijay Parshad in his book Everybody was Kung Fu fighting  says that "I am interested in “how an investigation of kung fu can help us move from a limited multicultural framework into an antiracist, polycultural one.” This is the research and video that has been made about Bruce lee statue in Mostar, the divided city in Bosnia and Herzegovina", as a method of working in hyper- politicized society.

[pt] ESTADO FALIDO, CIDADE FRÁGIL, PROBLEMA FAVELA: NARRATIVAS DE INTERVENÇÕES DE INFRAESTRUTURA E SEGURANÇA NA MARÉ / [en] FAILED STATE, FRAGILE CITY, THE FAVELA PROBLEM: NARRATIVES ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE AND SECURITY INTERVENTIONS IN MARÉ, RIO DE JANEIRO

15 September 2020 (has links)
[pt] Narrativas acerca de intervenções de infraestrutura e de segurança nas favelas do Rio de Janeiro são construídas em torno da chegada do Estado onde ele supostamente estava ausente com o objetivo de resolver o problema favela, tanto em termos da dita informalidade e precariedade, quanto em termos da suposta marginalidade dos seus habitantes, e integrálas ao restante da cidade como forma de superar a cidade partida. A concretude de sucessivas intervenções de infraestrutura e as frequentes intervenções de segurança, no entanto, permitem o questionamento desse mito da ausência do Estado nas favelas, enquanto a proximidade geográfica entre favela e asfalto, a circulação do espaço e a mão de obra que sustenta as relações na cidade empreendidas por seus moradores, e toda a sua vibrante produção social e cultural permitem o questionamento do mito da cidade partida. A principal pergunta que se coloca, portanto, é como o Estado brasileiro atua sobre esses espaços e corpos onde tradicionalmente é visto como ausente e frágil. Para tal, o presente trabalho partirá da literatura de Relações Internacionais para entender a relação entre discursos de falência, fragilidade, desordem e práticas específicas de intervenção e reconstrução no âmbito global (a partir dos conceitos de Estado falido, peacebuilding e nexo segurança-desenvolvimento), passando por uma literatura que mobiliza esses conceitos para pensar o urbano, pensar a cidade como um problema e suas possíveis soluções (em termos de peacebuilding urbano, cidades frágeis, urbanismo militar). Então, a partir da literatura brasileira especializada em favelas, questionará a construção da favela enquanto problema e as soluções articuladas por meio de formas específicas de presença do Estado, de forma a repactuar o problema como sendo um problema da atuação seletiva e imperfeita, muitas vezes racista, do Estado nesses espaços. Finalmente, a partir das contribuições e insuficiências dos conceitos e literaturas anteriores, o trabalho refletirá como as intervenções estatais, com foco em intervenções de infraestrutura e segurança, materializam-se especificamente no Complexo da Maré, reproduzindo exclusões e desigualdades, e como os moradores e organizações locais resistem a elas. / [en] Narratives about infrastructure and security interventions in Rio de Janeiro favelas are often built around the arrival of the State in places where it was supposedly absent, aiming at resolving the favela problem, both in terms of their informality and precariousness, and in terms of the marginality and criminality, and at integrating them with the formal neighborhoods so as to overcome the divided city. The concrete reality of successive infrastructure and security interventions, however, allows us to question the myth of State absence in favelas, whereas the territorial proximity between favelas and the rest of the city, their residents labor and circulation across the city and their vibrant social and cultural production allow us to question the myth of the divided city. Therefore, the main question posed is how the Brazilian State acts upon these spaces and bodies where it is traditionally seen as fragile and absent. With this aim, the presente work mobilizes International Relations literature to understand the relation between failure, fragility, disorder and practices of intervention in the global realm (which involves concepts such as failed State, peacebuilding and security-development nexus), and also literatures which mobilize such concepts in order to understand the urban realm, to understand cities as problems and their solutions (in terms of urban peacebuilding, fragile cities, military urbanism). Then, departing from a favela-focused Brazilian literature, the work questions the myth of the favela problem and also the solutions which are articulated in terms of specific forms of state presence, so as to reframe the problem as a problem of selective and imperfect, often racist, state actions. Finally, building upon those literatures contributions and limitations, the work reflects upon how state interventions, especially insfrastructure and security interventions, materialize in Complexo da Maré, reproducing exclusion and inequality, and how residents and local organizations resist those interventions.
