[en] VIOLENCE IN THE POSTCOLOIAL CITY: IMAGINATIONS, MATERIALITIES AND EXPERIENCES OF VIOLENCE IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] VIOLÊNCIA NA CIDADE PÓS-­COLONIAL: IMAGINAÇÕES, MATERIALIDADES E EXPERIÊNCIAS DA VIOLÊNCIA NA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIRO

22 June 2020 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese apresenta uma leitura decolonial das formas através das quais a violência atravessa imaginações, materialidades e experiências na e sobre a cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Argumenta-se que é a violência produtora e reprodutora das representações, das formas de gestão urbana e das vivências cotidianas que coexistem e se cruzam no Rio de Janeiro, como cidade que busca se construir como pós-colonial. Para tal, discute-se a relação entre violência e a cidade a partir de quatro pontos de contato. Em primeiro lugar, a tese apresenta o conceito de cidade-violência, a partir da qual é construída uma interpretação sobre a relação entre a formação material e imaterial da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e as dinâmicas violentas de racialização do espaço urbano no contexto histórico-político de uma forjada pós-colonização. Em seguida, trabalha-se com a ideia da cidade sensível, em que se discute em que medida determinados processos de racialização do espaço urbano, em suas muitas formas e manifestações, forjaram regimes estético-urbanos que distribuem lugares e espaços para a existência e circulação de corpos, percepções, sensações, objetos e sujeitos na cidade. Na terceira parte da tese, analisam-se as interpretações da violência que circulam, produzem e informam a gestão do espaço urbano na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de um mapeamento crítico do campo de saberes e práticas que constroem entendimentos e imaginários correntes sobre violência na cidade. Em todos esses casos, serão abordadas as formas através das quais essas interpretações produzem limites, apagamentos e silêncios sobre a relação entre raça, racismo, colonialidade e violência na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. No capítulo seguinte, a tese se debruça sobre as imaginações, materialidades e experiências da guerra na cidade, discutindo como o conceito de militarização atravessa representações e vivências da cidade pós-colonial, e quais são os contra-saberes a partir dos quais é possível vislumbrar intelectualidades e contra-estéticas insurgentes, capazes de apontar novos sentidos e interpretações para as relações entre a violência e as configurações da colonialidade no espaço urbano. Pretende-se, com esta tese, oferecer uma contribuição teórica original ao campo de estudos das Relações Internacionais que se debruça sobre as dinâmicas de violência no âmbito das cidades em contextos de pós-colonização, evidenciando a necessidade de articular novas possibilidades epistêmicas radicais e decoloniais para estudar a relação entre violência, cidade e (pós-)colonialidade. / [en] This thesis presents a decolonial interpretation on the ways in which violence crosses imaginations, materialities and experiences in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It argues that violence produces and reproduces representations, forms of urban management and everyday experiences that coexist and intersect in Rio de Janeiro, as a city that seeks to build itself as post-colonial in the everyday. To this end, the thesis addresses the relationship between violence and the city through four points of contact. First, the thesis presents the concept of city-violence, from which an interpretation is built on the relationship between the material and immaterial formation of the city of Rio de Janeiro and the violent dynamics of racialization of the urban space in the historical-political context of a forged postcolonization. Then, it works with the idea of the sensible city, in which it discusses the extent to which certain processes of racialization of urban space, in their many forms and manifestations, forged urban-aesthetic regimes that distribute places and spaces for existence and circulation of bodies, perceptions, sensations, objects and subjects in the city. In the third part of the thesis, it analyzes the interpretations of violence that circulate, produce and inform the management of urban space in the city of Rio de Janeiro, based on a critical mapping of the field of knowledge and practices that forge meanings, representations and imaginations about violence in/and the city. Specifically, the thesis addresses the ways in which these interpretations produce limits, margins and silences on the relationship between race, racism, coloniality and violence in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The final chapter focuses on the imaginations, materialities and experiences of the war in the city, discussing how the concept of militarization crosses representations and experiences of the post-colonial city. This part also includes an interpretation on the counter-knowledge about war in/and the city that is produced daily and from which it is possible to glimpse insurgent intellectualities and counteraesthetics, capable of pointing out new meanings and interpretations for the relations between violence and the configurations of coloniality in the urban space. By exploring the multiple connections between violence and the city of Rio de Janeiro, this thesis aims at offering an original theoretical contribution to the field of International Relations that studies the dynamics of violence within cities in contexts of post-colonization, arguing for the necessity of building new epistemic and decolonial possibilities to study the realtions between violence, the city and (post-)coloniality.

[pt] CARTOGRAFIAS CINEMATOGRÁFICAS: JOHANNESBURGO, MAPUTO E HARARE EM FILMES CONTEMPORÂNEOS PRODUZIDOS NA ÁFRICA AUSTRAL / [en] CINEMATOGRAPHIC CARTOGRAPHIES: JOHANNESBURG, MAPUTO AND HARARE IN CONTEMPORARY FILMS PRODUCED IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

MARCELO RODRIGUES ESTEVES 24 June 2021 (has links)
[pt] Partindo da indagação o que filmam os diretores africanos contemporâneos quando, hoje, apontam suas câmeras para as cidades, esta tese empreende uma viagem investigativa por Johannesburgo, Maputo e Harare através dos filmes de diretores africanos em atividade na África Austral. Os cinemas africanos contemporâneos realizados em países como África do Sul, Moçambique e Zimbabwe lidam, ainda hoje, em maior ou menor grau, com os reflexos de modos de produção que tiveram origem no período de dominação colonial. Se, na contemporaneidade, a África do Sul logrou organizar uma estável indústria de cinema no sul do continente africano, países como Moçambique e Zimbabwe ainda sofrem com os reflexos de uma descolonização tardia dos modos de produção cinematográfica. Com a queda do apartheid na África do Sul (1994) e as independências de Moçambique (1975) e Zimbabwe (1980), as cidades, territórios severamente marcados pela segregação perpetrada pelo colonizador, passam a atrair a atenção de cineastas locais, ao se transformarem no palco de acirrados debates acerca da segregação racial e espacial, do direito à terra e à moradia, da mobilidade, da relação campo-cidade, do embate entre tradição e modernidade. As cidades africanas, até certo momento tidas como projetos interrompidos e inacabados do pesadelo colonial, passaram a ser consideradas, em toda a sua complexidade, como a epítome da própria modernidade africana. As imagens dessas cidades modernas, complexas e desiguais, que emergem do cinema contemporâneo local, rasuram ou perturbam o regime dominante de representação do continente africano propagado pelo cinema e pela mídia ocidentais, problematizam visões que prevaleceram nos contextos de luta anticolonial e conquista da independência e contribuem para a renovação do repertório de imagens da África arquivadas pelo Ocidente. Os filmes analisados nesta tese ajudam a criar cartografias outras das cidades africanas levadas às telas. Tais cidades cinemáticas – ao editar, seccionar, justapor, aproximar e eliminar espaços – produzem percepções múltiplas e, às vezes, inesperadas. / [en] Starting from the question what do contemporary African directors film, today, when they point their cameras towards the cities, this thesis undertakes an investigative journey through Johannesburg, Maputo and Harare in the films of African directors currently active in Southern Africa. Contemporary African cinemas produced in countries such as South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe are still dealing, to a greater or lesser extent, with modes of production that originated in the period of colonial domination. If, in contemporary times, South Africa has managed to create a stable film industry in the south of the African continent, countries such as Mozambique and Zimbabwe still suffer from the reflexes of the late decolonization of their modes of film production. With the fall of apartheid in South Africa (1994) and the independence of Mozambique (1975) and Zimbabwe (1980), these cities, territories which are severely marked by the segregation perpetrated by the colonizer, start to attract the attention of local filmmakers, as they become the stage of heated debates regarding racial and spatial segregation, the right to land and to housing, mobility, the relation between countryside and urban life, the clash between tradition and modernity. African cities, for a long time regarded as unfinished and interrupted projects of the colonial nightmare, started to be perceived in all of their complexity, as the epitome of African modern itself. The images of these modern, complex and unequal cities, which emerge from local contemporary cinema, disturb the dominant system of representation of the African continent, propagated by Western cinema and media. They also problematize visions that prevailed in the contexts of anti-colonial struggle and conquest of independence and they contribute to the renewal of the repertoire of African images archived by the West. The films analyzed in this thesis help to create alternate cartographies for the African cities brought to the screen. Such cinematic cities – by means of editing, sectioning, juxtaposing, approximating and eliminating spaces – create perceptions that are multiple and, at times, unexpected.

A toponymic perspective on Zimbabwe’s post-2000 land reform programme (Third Chimurenga)

Jenjekwa, Vincent 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / This qualitative study presents an onomastic perspective on the changing linguistic landscape of Zimbabwe which resulted from the post-2000 land reforms (also known as the Third Chimurenga). When veterans of Zimbabwe’s War of Liberation assumed occupancy of former white-owned farms, they immediately pronounced their take-over of the land through changes in place names. The resultant toponymic landscape is anchored in the discourses of the First and Second Chimurenga. Through recasting the Chimurenga (war of liberation) narrative, the proponents of the post-2000 land reforms endeavoured to create a historical continuum from the colonisation of Zimbabwe in 1890 to the post-2000 reforms, which were perceived as an attempt to redress the historical anomaly of land inequality. The aim of this study is to examine toponymic changes on the geo-linguistic landscape, and establish the extent of the changes and the post-colonial identity portrayed by these place names. Within the case study design, research methods included in-depth interviews, document study and observations as means of data generation. Through the application of critical and sociolinguistic theories in the form of post-colonial theory, complemented by geo-semiotics, political semiotics and language ecology, this study uncovers the richness of toponymy in exposing a cryptic social narrative reflective of, among others, contestations of power. The findings indicate that post-2000 toponymy is a complex mixture of pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial place names. These names recast the various narratives in respect of the history of Zimbabwe through the erasure of colonial toponyms and resuscitation older Chimurenga names. The resultant picture portrayed by post-2000 toponymy communicates a complex message of contested land ownership in Zimbabwe. There is a pronounced legacy of colonial toponymy that testifies to the British Imperial occupation of the land and the ideologies behind colonisation. This presence of colonial toponymy many years after independence is an ironic confirmation of the indelible legacy of British colonialism in Zimbabwe. The findings show a clear recasting of the discourses of violence and racial hostility, but also reveal an interesting trend of toponymic syncretism where colonial names are retained and used together with new names. / Linguistics and Modern Languages / D.
