Seeking victims’ perspective on remedy: the case of Brasil Verde Farm’s workers by Regiane Cristina de Oliveira

“…The workers’ narratives – collected through oral history methodology, during a fieldtrip to Piauí, in March 2016 –, help to overcome the ongoing debate on remedy studies related to the discourse of victims’ “wants and needs”, and reveal that any reparation measure that intend to promote social emancipation has to deal with the absences of the right to participation, security, adequate standards of living, health, adequate housing, education, and also access to land.…”

African Approaches to Intellectual Property: Intellectual Property, Development and the Contested Meanings of Decolonisation by Ntokozo Dladla

“…Whereas “decolonisation” in the work of Okediji is applied to expand the disciplinary framework of African approaches to international law within the field of IP, Ncube idealises the term in order to redeem the development enterprise and obfuscate its racialising discourse of Africa.

«Li sens conmence contreval a filer…». Imaginaire du sang et hétérodoxies épiques dans La Bataille Loquifer by Carlos F. Clamote Carreto

“…Tainted by the mark of ancestral taboos that shake the poetic discourse ( as with the vision of the blood that women shed, for example) or assigning the dangers of an open wound which threatens the integrity of the epic hero transformed into a sacrificial victim whose blood, shed on the battlefield, purifies and regenerates the space conquered by the Christian logos, blood creates and transmits a paradoxical imaginary which is both projected and reflected in the lineage and in the language, which reflects in the epic poetry itself. …”
