The Political Economy of Village Level Theocracies in the Ìlàjẹ Coastline, Southwest Nigeria by Babajide Ololajulo

“…The main argument of this article, following ethnographic data collected from four theocratic settlements, which are regarded as the core village theocracies, is that a flexible land tenure regime and a loose traditional political system, among other factors of environment and kinship structure, ensured easy access to land and served to authenticate the spiritual leadership claims of founders of theocratic settlements. …”

La (dés)illusion communautaire. De l’ambivalence de la notion de « communauté » en Amazonie brésilienne by Émilie Stoll, Ricardo Theophilo Folhes

“…Now regarded as the political unit by external actors, it is the privileged interlocutor of many public policies concerned with land tenure and the redistribution of resources. In this article, using the case study of a set of rural communities along the Arapiuns River, in the state of Pará (Brazil), we show the dynamics driven in the genesis of communities’ formation and later in the deliverance of land records by the State, their nesting with local practices of land use and transfer. …”

Définir un cadre méthodologique commun en cartographie participative by Marie-Christine Cormier-Salem, Tidiane Sané

“…The purpose of this workshop was to understand the past and present organization of the village’s spaces and the uses of maps of the “terroirs”, or communal territories, made by and with the local people of three localities of this rural community: Diembéring, Bouyouye and Cabrousse.This workshop brought out the traditional knowledge and know-how of the local people in terms of representation of their spaces, but it also highlighted issues that are often difficult to apprehend, such as tenure conflicts. Coupled with other tools of field surveys (interviews, transects, historical profiles, agricultural calendar, etc.), participatory mapping pointed out the rice farming crisis in Casamance and its profound socio-cutural consequences on the Joola communities.Beyond the production of maps and new co-constructed knowledge, this workshop led to explicitly formulate the needs of the local people and their questions about the future of their terroirs and to accompany them in their advocacy (commitment of multidimensional dialogue) with the local or deconcentrated authorities of the Senegalese State. …”

Between the common and the private space: Tensions in the maintenance of high-rise residential buildings by Natalia Ponce-Arancibia

From the Guest Editors by Carlos Castillo-Chávez, Christopher Kribs Zaleta, Yang Kuang, Baojun Song

“…Those of us who met the field of mathematical biology as a well-developed,flourishing, and rewarding discipline owe much to those who made it so.This special issue of Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering isdedicated to two such pioneers: Fred Brauer and Karl Hadeler.Since retrospectives of both men have been published in other venues [1, 2], we will only summarize their contributions briefly here.Fred Brauer obtained his Ph.D. from MIT in 1956 under Norman Levinson,and during a long tenure at the University of Wisconsin he co-wrote severaltexts on ordinary differential equations that have become classics.His research entered mathematical biology first through early studies inpredator-prey systems and harvesting, both with and without delays.He then moved into mathematical epidemiology, and the text he co-authoredwith Carlos Castillo-Chavez in both these areas earlier this decade isalready in wide use.For more information please click the “Full Text” above.…”
