Huaqiao Nongchang: Isolated Settlements of Overseas Chinese Inside China by P. E. Strukova

“…The initial economic struggles of these settlements, coupled with unfavorable socio-cultural environments and a lack of effective organizational strategies for settlers, necessitated ongoing reforms. The transformation of certain "huaqiao nongchang" units from unproductive state farms into profitable agricultural enterprises occurred due to various factors, including decentralization of decision-making, redirection toward local markets, alleviation of social tensions, workforce training, and their integration into the broader Chinese economy.This article supplements its analysis with excerpts from settlers' memoirs, offering firsthand insights into the lives and experiences of overseas Chinese emigrants returning to their homeland. …”

Les Fils de Bas-de-Cuir. Sauvagisme, franc trappeur et « lutte des traces » dans le roman d’aventures français (1850-1880) by Luca Di Gregorio

“…Through a historical and comparative approach, the coureurs des bois’ adventure will be compared with the classical language of the Western (deciphering vs. settlement, walking vs. mounting, tracking vs. invasion and conquest) so as to insist on the alternative value brought by the adventurous “sauvagisme” (mainly European) in contrast with pioneers/settlers stories which were inspired, during the same period, by the rhetorics of the manifest destiny and the frontier.…”

Navigating pitfalls and misinterpretations in the use of historical sources for Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) conservation: A critique to Flueck et al. (2023) by Norma I. Díaz, Paulo Corti

“…In a recent article, Flueck et al. (2023) argue that the huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), an endemic South American deer species, historically occupied open habitats and islands, such as Tierra del Fuego, and that its decline was primarily due to indigenous hunting, commercial export of hides to Europe, habitat alteration by settlers, and the introduction of exotic species. We critically examine their use and interpretation of historical sources and highlight numerous methodological concerns that are similar to those we identified in a reply to a previous paper by the same authors (see Corti & Díaz 2023). …”

Interdisciplinaridade e solidariedade em experiências cooperativas do MST by Alceu Ravanello Ferraro

“…A research project on cooperative experiences made in settlements of the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) in the municipality of Piratini, state of Rio Grande do Sul, and developed with the support of FAPERGS and CNPq and with the participation of researchers and students from three universities (UCPel, UFPel and UFRGS) made it possible to arrive at some conclusions about the relationship between interdisciplinarity and solidarity that characterizes the cooperative work pursued by the MST. 1) The settlers freely move through the fields of work, education and leisure (which the research focused on), ignoring borders between disciplines. 2) Interdisciplinarity emerges as the element capable of making the difference between the autonomous, solidary, self-managed cooperative work and the cooperative work that is heteronomous, subordinated, commanded by capital. 3) Thus, interdisciplinarity and solidarity in work, education and leisure (and one may assume that this also applies to other dimensions of life in small family-based farms) emerge as elements of one and the same substance that ground and presuppose each other.…”

Exploitation des invertébrés par les sociétés précolombiennes des Petites Antilles by Nathalie Serrand

“…Molluscs seem to have played a role in the mobility and territorial occupation patterns of the first hunter-gatherer settlers of the Archaic period. Exploitation of invertebrates by the first sedentary groups of the early Ceramic period, shows specificities which suggest an homogenous economy, little diversified locally, reflecting a relative cultural cohesion. …”
