MLK 2020: Michelle Alexander
No full text2020 MLK Series Keynote Michelle Alexander brings audiences profoundly necessary and meaningful insights on the practice of mass incarceration that plagues the US justice system, as well as eye-opening conversation on how we can end racial caste in America. Lecture Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 5:30pm, RISD Auditorium, 17 Canal Walk, Providence, RI.
In her acclaimed bestseller The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, Alexander peels back the curtain on systemic racism in the US prison system in a work that the New York Review of Books describes as striking in the intelligence of her ideas, her powers of summary and the force of her writing. With equal force and candor on stage, she breaks the silence about racial injustice in the modern legal system to reveal how mass incarceration has come to replace segregation.
A legal scholar, social justice advocate, columnist at The New York Times and visiting professor at Union Theological Seminary, Alexander explores the myths surrounding our criminal justice system from a racial and ethical standpoint and offers solutions for combating this epidemic. Delivering an emphatic wakeup call from the colorblind slumber that our country has fallen under, she leaves audiences with a new perspective on the challenges facing the civil rights community and a call to action for a multiracial, multi-ethnic human rights movement for justice in America.

Resenha - A nova segregação - Michelle Alexander
No full textO entendimento de uma obra por muitas vezes demanda o conhecimento do seu autor; por outras vezes, necessita de uma compreensão do próprio título, que muito diz sobre o objeto a ser estudado. Michelle Alexander é uma advogada de direitos humanos e defensora de grupos afrodescendentes nos Estados Unidos. Também é professora das Universidades de Stanford e Ohio.A obra The New Jim Crow foi traduzida para o castelhano e para o português com denominações distintas. Na língua espanhola, recebeu o livro da Michelle Alexander a denominação de El color de la justicia; já no Brasil, pela Editora Boitempo (2018), de A Nova Segregação. A razão de diversos títulos para o mesmo livro vem da denominação, própria da cultura estadunidense, que se refere às leis racistas e segregacionistas Jim Crow, que por sua vez levam este nome em referência a um personagem negro e bobo da cultura norteamericana. Seria difícil, nestes processos de tradução, trazer tal figura caricata que não se reporta à nossa cultura, razão pela qual optou-se pelo uso de outros termos que pretendem dizer o mesmo.Consistiam as leis Jim Crow em um conjunto de leis que se mantiveram ativas até 1965, com origem nos Estados Confederados da Guerra da Secessão, e que pretendiam promover a divisão igual entre sociedade branca e negra, ou seja, segregação. Em determinados lugares, separavam-se os assentos de ônibus e banheiros, avançando ao apartheid educacional e à proibição do direito ao voto. É no crepúsculo destas leis – e talvez em razão disto – que os movimentos de direitos civis, como os de Martin Luther King e Malcom X, e demandas judiciais, como Brown v. Board of Education, visavam o combate destes segregacionismos.O objeto da obra é o fenômeno supermax, ou seja, o encarceramento em massa, principalmente decorrente da famigerada Guerra às Drogas. A Jim Crow Law deu lugar às leis de tolerância zero e à guerra às drogas. Por isso, fala-se em The New Jim, que no Brasil é denominado de nova segregação racial. Quando se fala em encarceramento em massa, estamos falando de encarceramento em massa dos negros. Nos Estados Unidos, integram os negros e latinos; já no Brasil, os pretos e pardos, denominados negros

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
