Échange généralisé : consistance et métamorphoses contemporaines d’un carrefour social (confins himalayens de Birmanie) by François Robinne

“…From a factual point of view, this is due to the emergence of political and religious centralisms with a hegemonic tendency; but also, from a methodological and conceptual point of view, to the trans-ethnic scope of generalized exchange and the choice of evaluating from this angle over the long term the consistency of a heterogeneous landscape.…”

« Ce n’est pas ce que j’ai vu, ce n’est pas ce que j’ai pensé»  by Lindsey Dodd

“…Norquay (1999) writes that forgetting is “an active process which can involve denial, refusal, discrediting, silencing, omitting”; this article shows the generative power of feeling forgotten, denied, refused, discredited, silenced or omitted, to inspire action which challenges hegemonic discourse.

The Politics of Knowledge Production and Decolonisation: An Appraisal of Mahmood Mamdani’s Contributions by Sifiso Ndlovu

“…In his writings, Mamdani has connected the diverse experiences of the post-colonial world and flagged modernity as very pivotal in understanding the politics of knowledge production because it was crafted by the colonial project which centred on producing colonial subjects of difference within the hegemonic European thought. Mamdani’s main contribution is his use of historical analysis from the vantage point of the present to offer a productive frame of thought on knowledge production that exposes the anatomy and operation of colonialism and its universalising structures that have been inadvertently normalised as the model in knowledge production. …”

From just transitions to just transformations; observations from Aotearoa New Zealand in addressing the human wellbeing impacts of climate change by Isabella Lenihan-Ikin, Proochista Ariana, Caesar Atuire

“…While we argue in favour of an expansive and anti-reductionist just transition framework being employed in the face of complex issues, such as the human wellbeing impacts of climate change, we introduce the concept of a just transformation : achieving true equity and justice in the face of climate change requires a transformative approach, situated outside of the confines of the hegemonic economic system and linear transitions. Transformations and not transitions are required for the health and wellbeing outcomes desired amidst threats of climate change.…”

Welcoming Historically Under-Represented Groups in Higher Education Through Awareness of Standard English Ideology by John Hellermann, Lynn Santelmann, Jennifer Mittelstaedt, Janet Cowal, Steven L. Thorne

“…In the context of changing demographics at regional universities (including our own), we highlight an ongoing project at our university that addresses the last area of acceptable bias in English-medium higher education: bias against speakers of other languages and non-standard dialects of English. We discuss the hegemonic aspect of the Standard Academic English used by default at most US institutions of higher education and its role in potential discrimination against users of languages other than English and dialects other than the Standard. …”

Embracing natural hair by Lindani Mbunyuza-Memani

De mitos y realidades (respuesta a Luciano Martínez ) by José Luis Coraggio

“…This character as a developing realm can prompt doubts; this, however, should not lead to a paralyzing fatalism which allows the constant updating of the free market as a hegemonic institution. Far from a utopia to be denounced from a “realistic” viewpoint of economy, its concerns the construction of an economy that combines socio-politically regulated market mechanisms as well as relations of reciprocity and redistribution. …”
