This thesis investigates the narrated experiences of a number of individuals that migrated to Argentina from Russia and Ukraine in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union. The over-arching aim of this thesis is to study the ways in which these migrants navigated the social reality in Argentina, with regards to available physical, material, and socioeconomic positions as well as with regards to their narrated self-understandings and identifications. The empirical data consists of ethnographic in-depth interviews and participatory observation from Buenos Aires between the years 2011 and 2014. Through the theoretical frameworks of political discourse theory, critical race studies, auto-ethnography, and theories on coloniality, the author examines questions of migration, mobility, race, class, and gender in the processes of re-establishing a life in a new context. The interviewees were not only directly affected by the collapse of the USSR in the sense that it drastically changed their terrain of possible futures as well as retroactive understandings of their pasts, but they also began their lives in Argentina during the turmoil of the economic crisis that culminated in 2001. Central to this thesis is how these dislocatory events impacted the interviewees’ possibilities and limitations for living the life they had expected, and thus how discursive structures affect subject positions and identifications, and thereby create specific conditions for different relocatory trajectories. By focusing on how these individuals narrate their reasons for migration and their integration into Argentine labor and housing markets, the author demonstrates the role Argentine and East European history, as well as the neoliberal restructuring of the postsocialist region and Argentina in the 1990’s, had for self-understandings, subject positions, identities, and mobility. Various intersections of power, and particularly the making of race and whiteness, are important for the way that the interviewees negotiated subject positions and identifications. The author addresses how affect and hope played a part in these processes and how downward mobility was articulated and made meaningful. She also examines how participants’ ideas about a “good life” were related to understandings of the past, questions of race, social inequality, and a logic of coloniality. / Den här avhandlingen undersöker hur ett antal individer som migrerade från Ryssland och Ukraina till Argentina efter Sovjetunionens fall berättar om sin erfarenhet. Det övergripande syftet är att studera hur dessa migranter navigerade i den sociala verkligheten i Argentina, särskilt vad det gäller kroppsliga, materiella och socioekonomiska positioner, såväl som hur detta påverkat deras berättade självförståelse och identifikationer. Det empiriska materialet består av etnografiska djupintervjuer och deltagande observationer gjorda i Buenos Aires mellan åren 2011 och 2014. Författaren använder sig av ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående av politisk diskursteori, kritiska ras- och vithetsstudier, autoetnografi och teorier om kolonialitet för att undersöka frågor om migration, mobilitet, rasialisering, klass och kön i en kontext av återetablering av ett liv i ett nytt samhälle. De som intervjuas i denna avhandling påverkades inte bara av Sovjetunionens kollaps, på så sätt att det påverkade deras förståelse av möjlig framtid samt deras retroaktiva förståelser av det förflutna, utan de påbörjade även sina nya liv i Argentina under den ekonomiska krisen som kulminerade år 2001. Centralt i avhandlingen är hur dessa dislokatoriska händelser inverkade på de intervjuades möjligheter och begränsningar för att kunna leva det liv som de hade förväntat sig, och därmed hur diskursiva strukturer påverkar subjektspositioner och identifikationer och därmed skapar specifika villkor för olika vägar för återetablering. Genom fokus på hur dessa individer berättar om sina anledningar för migrationen och om deras väg in i den argentinska arbets- och bostadsmarknaden visar författaren vilken roll argentinsk och östeuropeisk historia, såväl som 1990-talets nyliberala omstrukturering av den postsovjetiska regionen och Argentina, hade för deras självförståelse, subjektspositioner, identitet och mobilitet. Viktigt för hur de intervjuade förhandlade om olika subjektspositioner och identifikationer är intersektionella maktordningar och särskilt skapandet av ras och vithet. Författaren analyserar hur affekt och hopp spelade en roll i dessa processer och hur social deklassering artikulerades och gjordes meningsfull. Här undersöks även hur de intervjuades idéer om möjligheten att leva ett ”gott liv” var sammanflätade med förståelser av det förflutna, rasialisering, social ojämlikhet och en logik som präglades av kolonialitet. / Тема этой диссертации – это личный опыт ряда индивидуумов, переехавших в Аргентину вскоре после распада Советского Союза, на основе их собственных повествований. Основная цель работы заключается в исследовании того, как мигранты-участники вписывались в общественную реальность Аргентины на фоне её превалирующих физических,  материальных и социо-экономических позиций, а также по отношению к тому, как согласно их рассказам, эти люди сами себя воспринимали и идентифицировали. Эмпирическая компонента диссертации включает в себя комплекс углубленных этнографических интервью и включенного наблюдения, проводимых в Буэнос Айрес в 2011 -2014 гг. Автор изучает вопросы миграции, класса, социальной мобильности, расы и гендера в процессе переустановки жизни в новых условиях, руководствуясь теоретическими посылами теорий политического дискурса, критических расовых исследований (critical race studies), автоэтнографии и теорий колониальности. В дополнение к тому факту, что на интервьюируемых оказал непосредственное влияние распад Советского Союза, который кардинальным образом изменил как возможные сценарии их будущего, так и ретроактивные интерпретации их прошлого, эти люди начали свою новую жизнь в Аргентине сразу после сумятицы экономического кризиса, достигшего кульминации в 2001 г. Центральным аспектом диссертации является изучение воздействия, которое имели эти дислоцирующие обстоятельства на спектр естественных возможностей и преград на пути реализации жизненного проекта участников исследования, как они себе его представляли, а также какое влияние оказывают соответствующие дискурсивные структуры на позиции и идентификации субъектов, обуславливая определенные условия реализации различных траекторий их жизни в эмиграции. Фокусируя внимание на том, как эти индивидуумы повествуют о том, что побудило их к эмиграции в Аргентину и интеграции в местные рынки труда и жилья, автор подчеркивает ту роль, которую сыграли в этом особенности как аргентинской, так и восточноевропейской истории, наряду с более поздними структурными изменениями 90х гг., происходившими как на постсоветском, так и аргентинском пространствах в эпоху неолиберализма. Это касается в равной степени аспектов самовосприятия, позиций субъектов, а также вопросов их идентификации и мобильности. Важной составляющей того, каким образом интервьюируемые устанавливали рамки своей субъективной идентификации и позиции, являлись различные грани концепции власти; в частности того, как возникают понятия расы и ‘белизны’ (whiteness). Автор обращается к вопросу, какую роль в этих процессах сыграли аффект и надежда, и как субъекты исследования артикулировали и находили смысл в своей нисходящей мобильности. Параллельно автор анализирует то, как представления участников о "хорошей жизни" ставились ими в зависимость от их собственной интерпретации прошлого, наряду с вопросами расы, общественного неравенства и колониальной логики. / Esta tesis investiga las experiencias narradas por una serie de individuos que emigraron a Argentina desde Rusia y Ucrania a raíz de la caída de la Unión Soviética. Su objetivo general es estudiar el modo en que estos inmigrantes transitaron la realidad social argentina en lo que se refiere a las posiciones físicas, materiales y socioeconómicas disponibles, así como también a su auto-comprensión y a las identidades construidas desde sus narraciones. La autora examina cuestiones de migración, movilidad, raza, clase y género en los procesos de restablecimiento de la vida de estos sujetos a través del marco de la teoría política del discurso, los estudios críticos de la raza, la auto-etnografía y teorías sobre la colonialidad. Los datos empíricos consisten en entrevistas etnográficas en profundidad y observación participante realizadas en Buenos Aires entre los años 2011 y 2014. Los entrevistados no sólo se vieron directamente afectados por el colapso de la URSS en el sentido de que éste cambió drásticamente su terreno de futuros posibles y la comprensión retroactiva de su pasado, sino que también comenzaron sus vidas en Argentina durante las turbulencias de la crisis económica que estalló en el año 2001. En esta tesis, es central la indagación sobre cómo estos eventos dislocatorios impactaron en las posibilidades y limitaciones de los entrevistados para vivir la vida que esperaban y cómo las estructuras discursivas afectan las posiciones y las identificaciones de los sujetos, creando condiciones específicas para diferentes trayectorias de reubicación. Al enfocarse en cómo estos individuos narran sus razones para la migración y su integración en los mercados laborales y de la vivienda en Argentina, la autora demuestra el papel que tienen en las auto-comprensiones, posiciones de sujeto, identidades y movilidad, tanto la historia argentina y de Europa del Este, así como también la reestructuración neoliberal de la región postsocialista y de la Argentina en los años 90. Diversas intersecciones de poder, y particularmente la raza y la blancura son importantes para la manera en que los entrevistados negociaron posiciones subjetivas e identificaciones. La autora aborda cómo el afecto y la esperanza desempeñaron un papel en estos procesos y cómo la movilidad descendente se articuló y se hizo significativa. También examina cómo las ideas de los participantes acerca de una "buena vida" se relacionan con la comprensión del pasado, las cuestiones de raza, desigualdad social y una lógica colonial.

This thesis explores the role and positionality of three Black public intellectuals in post-94 South Africa, namely, Simphiwe Dana, Ntsiki Mazwai and Sisonke Msimang. For the purpose of this study, I analysed the twitter postings shared by these intellectuals on various social matters that concern the condition of the Black in post-94 South Africa. Using Fanon’s Native Intellectual Consciousness as a lens, the study seeks to capture and evaluate an emergent form of ‘cyber’ activism in the country. The main argument of this thesis is that, the concept and function of intellectualism must undergo a complete overhaul, beginning with the accommodation of more voices, particularly those of oppressed Black women. For this reason, the study is based on three Black women and seeks to dismantle the colonial lens through which Black women are studied This study not only historicises Black women as producers, users and custodians of knowledge but it also situates their lived experiences as relevant ‘knowledges’ albeit ignored in discourse. Moreover, the study is not only a form of epistemic protest against epistemic racism, but it is also a form of Black positioning in communication studies. I therefore posit that, Black Twitter is the communicative plane on which blackness performs and articulates itself, for itself. For this purpose, I conceptualise Black Solidarity within Communication studies; a field that often pretends to be only marginally affected by issues of race. This study contributes to Communication Studies, a new, raw and altruistic way of studying blackness by allowing it to think, and speak through its pain as opposed to the usual pathologising white gaze. Using the decolonial concept of a traditional Imbadu as the methodological aspect in conducting this study, I observe that even in the face of debilitating colonial hangover, blackness persists through those intellectuals whose intergenerational trauma forces them to think and speak from Blackness. The chosen intellectuals who are feminists by choice, think and speak from Blackness albeit being silenced by oppression. As such, the study itself is a pedagogical contradiction to the orthodox axiology of a detached scholar and hence written in the autobiographical form. / Communication Science / D. Phil.

Early in the 21st Century, the European Union began to grow in influence in the South-Eastern European region. Thus, a discourse of transition defined by the proclaimed shift of the country from the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the war in 1995, to Euro-Atlantic integration, began to intensify in BiH. The discourse of transition is therefore simplistically referred to as 'from Dayton to Brussels'. At the same time up until the middle of the decade, British politician Paddy Ashdown was serving as the High Representative of international community for Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is, therefore, unsurprising that he co-constructed the discourse himself. This diploma thesis examines mainly the process of legitimization of the discourse of transition by Paddy Ashdown. Specific legitimization strategies are examined by means of critical discursive analyses and decolonial approach. The main aim of the thesis is to investigate whether the legitimization strategy of Paddy Ashdown is embedded in colonial matrix of power. Based on analyses of Ashdown's speeches, an overarching legitimization strategy was detected - mythopoesis (referring to myths and stories) rooted in colonial matrix of power. The entire argumentation of the High Representative is built around a fairytalelike story about Bosnia and...

[pt] Este trabalho trata da contribuição do campo estético na reflexão sobre as consequências do processo colonial na América Latina; defendendo o conhecimento gestado em nosso continente como ferramenta de análise de nossos problemas. A hipótese central é de que o estético se particulariza em nosso continente, funcionando como um dispositivo presentificador de específicas condições do espaço latinoamericano, ocupando-se de zonas imprecisas, habitadas por virtualidades e fantasmagorias, nas quais persistem resíduos de uma temporalidade arcaica, antimoderna, que atritam com as incessantes demandas progressistas da modernidade. Esses resíduos desdobram-se de modos diversos, em corpos, espacialidades, modos de viver e construir conhecimento, e são rearticulados pelo estético por meio de processos de virtualização que emergem em variadas formas criativas. Ao longo dos próximos capítulos serão apresentados trabalhos que ocupam essas zonas imprecisas, produzidos em diversas épocas e respondendo a distintas ambições. Da ficção de Jorge Luis Borges às fotografias etnográficas do austríaco Martin Gusinde, na Terra do Fogo. Dos desenhos do arquiteto chileno Miguel Lawner, realizados em campos de concentração chilenos, durante a ditadura Pinochet, a narrativas recentes, que tratam das consequências do Golpe de 1964 no Brasil, em seu âmbito pessoal, familiar e coletivo, como é o caso de Ainda estou aqui (2015), de Marcelo Rubens Paiva, e A noite da espera, de Milton Hatoum (2017). Trabalhos como esses são capazes de repor ou reapresentar o que foi destruído, apagado ou ocultado pelos Estados que aqui se configuram, a partir dos processos de independência nacional, possibilitando reatualizar na contemporaneidade as recorrências dos traumas de constituição do espaço colonial de nosso continente, em variadas encarnações das sociedades pós-coloniais. É essa importante tarefa de fazer do passado um elemento vivo entre nós, a principal colaboração do estético para que enfim se possa emancipar a América Latina do papel de dependência que ocupamos desde 1492. / [en] Aesthetics of Latin American space searches to investigate the contributions of aesthetic field in the analyses of the colonial process, in Latin America, urging to recognize the knowledge produced in our continent as a key to understand our problems. The main hypothesis is the process of particularization of the aesthetic in Latin American, working as an apparatus that bring to the present specifics conditions of Latin American space, as some vague zones inhabited by virtualities and phantasmagoria, where residues of an archaic, anti-modern temporality persist, fighting against the progressive demands of modernity. These residues unfold in different ways, in bodies, spatialities, ways of living and building knowledge, and are re-articulated and re-presented by the aesthetic through processes of virtualization that emerge in a diversity of creative forms. Throughout the next chapters, works that occupy these imprecise zones produced in different times and responding to different ambitions, will be presented. From Jorge Luis Borges s fiction to the ethnographic photographs of the Austrian priest Martin Gusinde, in Tierra del Fuego. From drawings by Chilean architect Miguel Lawner, made in concentration camps during the Pinochet dictatorship, to recent narratives that deal with the consequences of the 1964 s coup in Brazil, in the personal, familiar and collective spheres, in books as Ainda estou aqui (2015), by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, and A noite da espera, by Milton Hatoum (2017). Works like these are capable of replacing or re-presenting what was destroyed, erased or hidden by the States that emerge after processes of national independence, making it possible to bring to contemporaneity the recurrences of traumas that constitute colonial space in Latin American continent, in different incarnations of post-colonial societies. The complex work of making past a living element is the main contribution of the aesthetic to emancipate Latin America from the role of dependence that it have occupied since 1492.

[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.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges currectly facing humanity. Its impacts lead to the displacement of people through sea level rise, desertification, drought, flood and other ecological disaster. The global imbalance of power results in people being unequally affected by climate change. This power imbalance affects the policy-making of intergovernmental institutions and knowledge production in policy processes. This thesis conducts a policy analysis to elaborate colonial continuities that influence knowledge production on migration and climate change. Therefore, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) is examined. The theoretical framework of the thesis draws on knowledge and power, modernity/coloniality, and racial capitalism. Findings suggest that the influences of colonial continuities on knowledge production about climate change and migration are reflected in underlying colonial epistemological and ontological assumptions, power structures and the hegemonic discourse. Alternative knowledges, such as those contributed by civil society actors are side-lined during the process and not included in the final document. The GCM does not consider the link between environmental change and racial capitalism or colonial power imbalance, but looks at only one of the adaptation strategies and presents it as a problem: human migration. Instead of addressing the root of the problem and holding polluting countries accountable for their inaction, the GCM focuses on migration control.

[pt] A tese Fissuras da moldura colonial portuguesa: visualidade e visão de mundo na obra de José Luandino Vieira tem como objetivo interrogar as potencialidades narrativas que se abrem nas relações entre as formas plásticas e as imagens literárias construídas pelo escritor luso-angolano José Luandino Vieira em três obras distintas: no livro Papéis da Prisão (2015), compilação de 17 cadernos produzidos pelo autor durante o período de encarceramento vivido entre os anos de 1962 e 1971 e nos romances O livro dos rios. De rios velhos e guerrilheiros I (2006) e O livro dos guerrilheiros. De rios velhos e guerrilheiros II (2009). A intenção é compreender alguns recursos utilizados pelo escritor para enfrentar e transtornar a linguagem hegemônica da moldura colonial portuguesa, como a desnaturalização da língua portuguesa e a estratégia do pensamento visual que possibilita transfigurar a realidade. Na perspectiva teórico-metodológica, recorro a teorias que ajudem a compreender tanto os mecanismos de luta anticolonial quanto as estratégias de utilização específica da imagem como parte do seu projeto estético-político. / [en] The thesis Fissures of the portuguese colonial frame: visuality and worldview in the work of José Luandino Vieira aims to interrogate the narrative potentialities that open up in the relations between the plastic forms and the literary images constructed by the Portuguese-Angolan writer José Luandino Vieira in three distinct works: in the book Papéis da Prisão (2015), compilation of 17 notebooks produced by the author during the period of imprisonment lived between the years of 1962 and 1971 and in the novels O livro dos rios. De rios velhos e guerrilheiros I (2006) and O livro dos guerrilheiros. De rios velhos e guerrilheiros II (2009). The intention is to understand some resources used by the writer to face and upset the hegemonic language of the portuguese colonial frame, such as the denaturalization of the portuguese language and the strategy of visual thinking that makes it possible to transfigure reality. In the theoretical-methodological perspective, I resort to theories that help to understand both the mechanisms of anti-colonial struggle and the use of using the image as part of its aesthetic-political project. / [fr] La thèse Fissures du cadre colonial portugais: visualité et vision du monde dans l oeuvre de José Luandino Vieira vise à interroger les potentialités narratives qui s ouvrent dans les relations entre les formes plastiques et les images littéraires construites par l écrivain luso-angolais José Luandino Vieira dans trois ouvrages différents: dans le Papéis da Prisão (2015), compilation de 17 carnets produits par l auteur pendant la période d emprisonnement entre 1962 et 1971; et dans les romans O livro dos rios.

[pt] A tese, pelas lentes do pensamento decolonial afrodiaspórico compromissado com a ladino-amefricanidade, possui o objetivo de analisar como a matriz colonial de poder estrutura o pensamento jurídico brasileiro dentro do espaço que, com base no eurocentrismo, imprime autoridade e validade científica a essa produção, ou seja, a academia jurídica. A partir dessas apreciações, examina-se a materialização das colonialidades, incluído a do gênero, do poder, do saber e do ser, refletindo-se sobre a geo(corpo)política do conhecimento no programas de pós-graduação strictu sensu em direito no Brasil, por meio de delineamento do perfil dominante no corpo docente, no corpo discente e dos mecanismos utilizados para fissurar a matriz colonial do poder dentro desse ambiente e/ou para manter pactos narcísicos que estruturam a(s) colonialidade(s). Em que se utilizou uma pesquisa multinível, quantitativa-qualitativa, na parte quantitativa mapeou-se o perfil docente e discente dos PPGDS, com base nos dados oficiais constantes na plataforma Sucupira e na parte qualitativa, por meio da análise dos documentos nos sites oficiais dos programas e da aplicação de duas pesquisas surveys – uma realizada com docentes e outra com discentes dos programas, descreve-se e explora-se a composição desses espaços e as estratégias que buscam romper com a modernidade/colonialidade neste campo. / [en] Throughout the lenses of decolonial thinking and committed to amefricanity, the thesis aims to analyze how the colonial global power shapes the Brazilian legal thought within the space that enforces scientific authority and validity on this production based on Eurocentrism, which is the law academy.

[pt] A pesquisa busca questionar a naturalização da violência de Estado direcionada contra os corpos negros no Brasil. Para esta urgente tarefa, o trabalho desenvolve um diálogo central entre a filosofia descolonial e a foucaultiana, dividindo-se em quatro capítulos. O primeiro demonstra o enraizamento desta naturalização desde o período colonial, mostrando a objetificação do corpo negro e a sua invibilização tanto na escravização como no movimento abolicionista. O segundo capítulo aborda o período pós-abolição por meio do projeto de embranqueamento e do racismo científico. O terceiro enfrenta o auto de resistência como prática contemporânea do racismo de Estado da sociedade biopolítica brasileira. Por fim, o quarto pretende refletir sobre resistências e possibilidades de transformações descoloniais desta realidade objetificante e violenta. / [en] The investigation aims to question the naturalization of State s violence against black bodies in Brazil. For this urgent task, the work develops a dialogue between decolonial and foucauldian philosophy, and is divided in four chapters. The first one points out that this naturalization has its roots in brazilian history since colonial time, with the objectification of black bodies during slavery and also at the abolitionist movement. The second one approaches the post-abolition period, its whitening project and the scientific racism. The third part faces the auto de resistência as a contemporary practice of State s racism in the brazilian biopolitic society. Finally, the fourth chapter intends to analyze resistances and possibilities of decolonial transformations of this violent and objectifying reality.
