The Third World

Students of Latin American pentecostalism often have viewed it more as a symptom of emerging mass society than as a vital religious force. Studies based on development theory, especially, assume that popular movements in the Third World, such as Brazilian pentecostalism, Spiritism, and Umbanda, may promote national integration by offering marginal peoples rudimentary preparation for civic roles. Presumably the decision-making and leadership experience gained in religious participation later may be applied to community and political activities.

The Third World

This article seeks to test certain hypotheses drawn from structural communications theory, hypotheses that tend to support the call for a New World Information Order (NWIO). Structural theorists such as Johan Galtung and NWIO advocates from the Third World have charged that developing nations are dependent upon the West for international news. News dependency, in turn, is said to lead to the adoption of Western news values and subsequent cultural imperialism in the South. Finally, news dependency is said to be neocolonial in the sense that information flows through “vertical” channels (from North to South) and within distinct spheres of communication hegemony. These claims are tested with a news flow study drawn from African and Latin American dailies. Results of the empirical tests show that the Third World is dependent on Western agencies for the bulk of its international news, and that Third World newspapers reflect the news values of Western prestige dailies. Nonaligned newswires, however, are shown to be more resistant to journalistic westernization, as their coverage is markedly different from that of the Western wire services. Finally, news flow patterns do exhibit a pronounced neoimperial character. Agencies from the United States, Great Britain, and France each hold sway over their own regional domains within the Third World.

A filósofa Otília Arantes nomeou O ponto de vista latino-americano o corpus crítico de Mário Pedrosa produzido após o desterro chileno, durante o governo de Salvador Allende (1970-1973). Nesse conjunto de textos, observa-se a recuperação de tradições que não haviam sido capturadas pela historiografia oficial, como as práticas e os saberes oriundos da cultura popular e indígena. Essa interpretação pode ser identificada em obras como Discurso aos Tupiniquins ou Nambás e Teses para o Terceiro Mundo, nas quais o crítico se amparou em um repertório terceiro-mundista partilhado no exílio. O autor exaltou uma leitura ancorada na inversão geopolítica, a qual localizou nos países situados ao sul uma fagulha revolucionária capaz de deflagrar a almejada transformação social e econômica. Essas obras-manifesto sintetizaram praticamente todo o discurso crítico, político e museológico que Pedrosa sustentou ao voltar para o Brasil, em 1977.Palavras-chave: Exílio; Terceiro Mundo; Arte latino-americana; Mário Pedrosa; Arte popular. AbstractThe philosopher Otília Arantes named The critical corpus of Mário Pedrosa produced after the Chilean exile during the Salvador Allende government (1970-1973) from The Latin American Spot. In this set of texts, there is a recovery of traditions that had not been captured by official historiography, such as the practices and knowledge derived from popular and indigenous culture. This interpretation can be identified in works such as Speech to the Tupiniquins or Nambás and Theses for the Third World, in which the critic relied on a shared Third World repertoire in exile. The critic praised a reading anchored in the geopolitical inversion, which located in the countries located to the south a revolutionary spark capable of triggering the desired social and economic transformation. These manifesto works synthesized practically all the critical, political and museological discourse that the author sustained when he returned to Brazil in 1977.Keywords: Exile; Third world; Latin American art; Mário Pedrosa; Popular art.

The adoption of the Nairobi Forward Looking Strategies at the Third World Conference on Women in 1985 provided a framework for action at all levels, to promote peace, equality and development opportunities for women, particularly those in the developing countries. Since then, these strategies have served as a basis for evaluating the actions of government and non-government organisations (NGOs) towards empowering women. In some respects, Uganda can be looked upon as a model African country where women have made remarkable progress. Women constitute more than half of the national population. Of the total population of about 19 million in 1996, 10 million were female, over 4 million who are over 18 years and eligible to vote. Uganda’s Affirmative Action policy has provided women with significant opportunity to participate in both the parliament and other decision making bodies.

The Third World

While shaping an impression of the Third World from post-colonial, non-aligned to less developed states today, security concerns over the region, more or less, remained a status quo in a handful of international security scholars. This article explores various security challenges, including internal, regional, transnational and international of Asia, Africa and Latin American countries, the then considered Third World. Military interventions, illegal migration and narco-terrorism of Latin America; Demographic derivatives, ethnical conflicts and transnational organized crimes in Africa; Terrorism, failing states and climate security issues of Asia are considered to be key security concerns hereunder. This article aims to contribute towards building collective action for stabilizing and sustaining the world peace. It seeks to off er an alternative understanding of constantly evolving security dimensions. Some of those enshrined alternative practical approaches include confinement of military to external defense, Cartegena Declaration implementation for illegal migrants, Custom controls in drug trade, turning youth bulge to demographic dividend, inclusive participation of ethnic groups, technology enforced crime patrol, scooping out Islamism from terrorism, active participation of non-state actors in nation building and finally increased international collaboration eff orts with indigenous technical knowledge for resilient climate strategy Drawing on quantitative data from recognized platforms, elite interviews on security dialogues, reputed newspapers, e-books, and journal articles, this article confronts us with the necessity to fertilize fragile nations of the Third World against the backdrop of economic, social, political, cultural, and environmental origins.

The Way

This research shows how a group of students from a middle school in one of the poorest and violent neighborhoods in Guadalajara, México, make poems to express how they experience and signify the idea of Latin American unity in light of non-Western, perspectives. Drawing from Latin American philosophers such as Simón Rodríguez and Ramón Xirau, the method of this study draws from poetic images to construct theoretical arguments in education to analyze the poems produced by the students as active creators of Latin American epistemology in education. The findings suggest that the students as peripheral poets can enrich the foundations of critical pedagogy for Latin American unity. Of particular interest is the way in which the students challenge the distinction between colonialism and coloniality of power. This paper aims to show how Western critical pedagogy can be enriched by taking into account thinkers on education from the “Third World.”
