This article draws on Bayat’s discussions of the “quiet encroachment” and “social nonmovement” to explore the intertwined relationships between mundane lives, public culture, and spatial orders. It takes the collective singing practices in public parks in the city of Guangzhou in South China as a case study, and at the center of analysis are senior urban residents who have experienced double marginalization under the new political economy and the new spatial order in public spaces. I show that collective singing in parks, which is a cultivated practice acting upon a body’s habitus shaped by the political culture, has contributed to rebuild the social life of the senior citizens after layoffs. While such an embodied practice has been re-appropriated by the government and officials to capitalize on the authority of political culture to further their ends, such re-appropriation also empowers the choral participants to pursue happiness in their familiar ways and legitimize their claims on public spaces that are increasingly coded with a middle-class civility. I argue that the analytical lens offered by “social nonmovement” helps shift attention from agency to action. By focusing on how effects of state-orchestrated governing strategies have been made complicated by ordinary people’s “quiet encroachment”, this article shows that the exercise and effects of power shall be analyzed as a dynamic process with a spatial and temporal dimension. The exploration of the layers of social, political and visceral experiences between individual citizens and the social-political space can effectively help us diagnose how power works and morphs.

O presente trabalho visa – ainda que de forma resumida – refletir sobre as origens teóricas e sobre o desenvolvimento da antropologia multiespécies. A nossa breve “viagem” tem como ponto de partida o paradigma do excepcionalismo humano e o olhar antropocêntrico sobre a relação entre o ser humano e a restante natureza. Este olhar, tendo constituído o paradigma central das origens da disciplina antropológica, é o resultado de formas de olhar e interpretar o mundo e a diversidade nele contida, profundamente ocidentais. Nele assentam dualismos tradicionais como natureza-cultura que justificaram o tratamento distinto do “outro”, não ocidental. Por sua vez, o fim deste paradigma surgiu como resultado da emergência de questões da modernidade, especificamente, a mediatização das questões ambientais. Neste contexto surgiu uma nova área de pesquisa, a Human-Animal Studies (HAS) assim cunhada por DeMello, não obstante outras designações utilizadas por diferentes áreas de pesquisa (ex.: antrozoologia). Nesta nova área de investigação as relações com os outros animais são vistas como co-construídas, interdependentes e relacionais assim como os próprios ecossistemas e estão enquadradas numa nova linha de pensamento: a pós-humana.

This article presents the result of a multimodal analysis of the representation of asexuality in Portuguese mainstream media. In Portugal, the media played a pivotal role in the relationship between the newly formed Portuguese asexual community and the wider audience. Media attention on asexuality in Portugal generated a discussion on how asexual people are represented, but also on social representations of sexual diversity in general. As a result, the Portuguese asexual community and LGBTQI+ movement were impelled to reflect on their activity and on the public image they wanted to send out. Therefore, the community had to make choices: which media to participate in; who participates; whose faces the message is associated to; to what extent the allies are to be taken into consideration; which types of discourses get privileged, and which become excluded. Amongst other public effects, the Portuguese LGBTQI+ movement started to acknowledge asexuality in documents produced by them. The corpus of materials on the subject grew, and asexuality left a significant footprint. The major tendency points towards a positive portrayal of asexuality that puts asexual people centre stage, owning narratives about themselves.

Este artigo reflecte acerca da centralidade do espaço relativamente à (in)visibilidade de pessoas LGBTQ (Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Trans e Queer) através de um estudo de caso na Região Autónoma dos Açores (RAA).A partir de uma análise qualitativa, utilizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas para estudar as experiências e percepções de activistas LGBTQ locais, colocando a insularidade enquanto lente de análise para pensar a forma como as sexualidades são situadas num dado contexto espácio-temporal. A geografia insular revela-se uma ferramenta de análise com elevado potencial ao demonstrar que o isolamento conferido pela condição geográfica ultrapassa os limites da própria geografia, permeando as vivências não heterocisnormativas, isolando-as, e criando aquilo que designo por Activistas-Ilha.

A investigação tem demonstrado que durante a infância, a malnutrição está relacionada com a doença da cavidade oral mais prevalente no Camboja, a cárie dentária. Este estudo transversal avaliou o estado nutricional e a cárie dentária de 344 crianças e adolescentes cambojanos vulneráveis com idade entre os 6 e os 18 anos. O estado nutricional (peso corporal, estatura e índice de massa corporal para idade e sexo) e o índice CPOD (dentes cariados sem obturação) foram medidos e calculados. A maioria apresentava peso normal (56,7%), 36,6% com baixo peso, 6,7% com excesso de peso e 45,1% com baixa estatura para a idade e sexo. A prevalência de cárie dentária foi notavelmente alta (94,9%). Crianças de 6-11 anos apresentaram índice CPOD significativamente maior (6,7 ± 4,0) do que os adolescentes (4,0 ± 2,9 para 12-14 anos e 4,1 ± 1,6 para 15-18 anos, P <0,01). Além disso, os participantes com baixo peso apresentaram o maior índice CPOD (6,6 ± 3,8). Crianças vulneráveis e em situação de risco, na faixa etária dos 6 aos 11 anos e com baixo peso foram as mais afetadas, pelo que, a prevenção é urgente, principalmente nos dias de hoje. A literacia em alimentação e em saúde oral deve ser incentivada.

The aim of this article is to present to the scientific and academic community the Unidentified Skeletal Collection of the Capuchos Cemetery. The skeletons, of contemporary individuals, were collected from the same cemetery as those of the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection, but their identification is unknown. The collection is composed of 73 individuals, of which 68 are adults of both sexes (34 females, 33 males, and one individual of unknown sex) and five are non-adults. The skeletons are reasonably preserved although several are incomplete as result of taphonomic changes during inhumations, but also due to the experimental research made so far. Most of the adult individuals present nonmetric characters, being the scapular notch the most frequent. Regarding the osteopathology, it was observed that the majority of adult individuals have pathological changes, with degenerative pathology being the most frequent. In addition, some individual exhibit medical devices and/or signs of chirurgical procedures. The Unidentified Skeletal Collection of the Capuchos Cemetery is an osteological collection that, although not containing individual biographical data, has contributed to teaching and research in Biological and Forensic Anthropology in subjects such as osteology, morphology, biological profile, paleopathology, cremains, and the development of new methods.

Prior to industrialization, human excrement was commonly employed as a resource for agricultural fertilization. Following the advent of the hydraulic sanitation system, however, it became increasingly channeled into waterways rather than reincorporated into terrestrial agro-ecosystems. To counter this trend, more and more industrial cities are seeking to utilize treated sanitation waste, or “biosolids,” as a renewable resource that can be applied as a soil amendment in urban recreational settings, including parks, gardens, and golf courses. This article examines how the use of biosolids in the American city of Chicago comes to “make sense”—experientially, economically, and ecologically—to users and wastewater experts. Furthermore, it considers how sanitation infrastructures, social norms, and safety concerns both contour and constrain such usage. Ultimately, this article identifies how direct sensorial experiences (particularly of odors or their absence) as well as notions of economic and ecological “good sense” contribute to the social acceptability of biosolids usage. However, contaminants of emerging concern that are barely perceptible in sanitation waste raise more profound questions about the challenges of urban sustainability in this period known as late industrialism.
