High Uncertainty

This paper discusses the case of missing persons in Israel, to show how the category of “missingness” is constructed by the people who have been left behind, and how this may threaten the life-death dichotomy assumption. The field of missing persons in Israel is characterized not only by high uncertainty, but also by the absence of relevant cultural scripts. Based on a narrative ethnography of missingness in Israel, I claim that a new and subversive social category of “missingness” can be constructed following the absence of cultural scripts. The left-behinds fluctuate not only between different assumptions about the missing person’s fate; they also fluctuate between acceptance of the life-death dichotomy, thus yearning for a solution to a temporary in-between state, and blurring this dichotomy, and thus constructing “missingness” as a new stable and subversive ontological category. Under this category, new rites of passage are also negotiated and constructed.

This paper retraces the debates on life-histories before and after the linguistic turn in the social sciences, and, more specifically, in the anthropological tradition. It stresses how poststructuralist feminist methodological, theoretical, and political appropriations of personal narratives represent a significant textual intervention in the gendered social-cultural scripts of women’s lives.

Resumo A sala de aula é lugar de sentidos e significados que atravessam tudo aquilo que é social. É espaço onde se estabelece o diálogo com as coisas do mundo, com a dinâmica dos grupos, e com diversos fundamentos teóricos ligados a diferentes projetos, que vão desde a transformação dos sujeitos, por meio da educação, à transformação do mundo, através dos sujeitos educados. A partir de uma concepção de educação que reclama por um processo de “democratização da cultura”, buscou-se valorizar os roteiros culturais dos alunos do curso de formação de professores – Pedagogia da Terra/UFG. O foco central foi estimular, nos cursos de formação docente, a participação de alunos e professores no exercício da tolerância e coexistência de práticas que valorizem as diferenças culturais. A valorização da relação cultura-educação fez parte do processo, ajudou no exercício da coletividade, via emancipação e afirmação de direitos sociais, no entendimento e apropriação das demandas culturais dos estudantes ligados à Via Campesina.Palavras-chave: Relação Cultura-educação; Diferenças Culturais; Diversidade cultural. Teacher training: exercise of practices coexistence that value cultural differences AbstractThe classroom is a place of senses and meanings that cross everything that is social.

From a conception of education that calls for a process of "democratization of culture", it was aimed to enhance the cultural scripts of students, teachers training course- Earth Pedagogy/UFG. The central focus was to stimulate in teacher training courses attended by students and teachers the exercise of tolerance and coexistence practices that value cultural differences. The appreciation of culture-education relationship was part of the process, and helped in the exercise of the community, via empowerment and affirmation of social rights, in understanding and appropriation of cultural demands of thestudents related to country culture.Keywords: Relation culture-education; Cultural differences; Cultural diversity.

The physical disciplining of children is widespread globally. To work towards ending physical disciplining, we need to understand this practice’s local and contextual justifications. In this article, we explore Cambodian mothers’ rationale for the physical disciplining of their children, as we seek to address two questions: 1) How do Cambodian mothers perceive physical discipline?, and 2) How do they negotiate and justify physical disciplining practices? Based on 10 group interviews with mothers of small children, and in different communities in Cambodia, we found that the physical disciplining is a common practice used to correct behaviours considered unhelpful, impolite or disrespectful. However, there are ambivalent attitudes toward this. This suggests that physical discipline is not a static practice, but rather one that is constantly negotiated. We argue that Barbara Rogoff’s concept of cultural scripts for parenting is well suited for making sense of how physical discipline is justified among Cambodian mothers.

‘It had an odde promiscuous tone’: Lord Rochester and Restoration modernity

Long Eighteenth Century

This chapter explores how the framework of a ‘long eighteenth century’ distorts our sense of Restoration literature through a process of selective reading and imagining that emphasises ‘the shape of the future’. The writings of Lord Rochester provide the ground on which this argument is tested. In tracing Rochester’s texts through the circuits of script and print, this chapter illuminates the radical unfixity of Rochester as cultural sign. To privilege Rochester’s ‘Augustanism’, or to see him, as recent commentators would have it, as a ‘proto-Whig’, is perforce to strain against the varied cultural scripts he so promiscuously fashioned and in which he was no less promiscuously apprehended and imagined. More largely, this chapter argues, by refiguring Rochester, we may also appreciate the decidedly mixed character of whatever might be called ‘Restoration modernity’.
