ABSTRACT The political movement led by President Hugo Chávez Frías (1998–2013) and his successor, President Nicolás Maduro (2013–present), created an authoritarian regime in Venezuela. We explore two alternative interpretations. The first is that the regime underwent a series of incremental transitions along an initially democratic but progressively more authoritarian trajectory, largely as a result of pressures from its environment. The alternative interpretation is that authoritarianism was inherent in the regime’s origin and composition and emerged endogenously, albeit gradually. Using a theoretical framework that builds on the work of Robert Dahl, Guillermo O’Donnell, Juan Linz, and Alfred Stepan, we develop indicators of democracy and authoritarianism and trace the evolution of the regime through three periods. We conclude that endogenous and exogenous forces interacted and were mutually reinforcing across these periods, repeatedly foreclosing possibilities for democratization, but authoritarian tendencies were present from the start and reflected in critical political decisions by regime actors involving the design of new institutions.

ABSTRACT This paper offers a case study of how staying in one Mexico City migrant shelter (albergue) helps refugee claimants from the northern countries of Central America to revise their plans and aspirations in light of the changing reality that has made it more difficult for them to reach the United States. Specifically, we investigate whether Albergue Tochán contains elements of an empowering setting in which claimants can gain some control over their lives as they wait for permission to stay in Mexico. The paper is based on interviews, participant observation and follow-up conversations with ten men, who, at the time of research in 2018–2019, were staying at Albergue Tochán (an all-men’s shelter) while awaiting decisions on their asylum cases. All of the men had intended to migrate to the United States, but, for a variety of reasons, ended their journeys in Mexico City. The paper demonstrates how the stay at Albergue Tochán stabilized the conditions of life for these men, at least temporarily. Through acquiring meaningful roles and relationships during their stay at the shelter, the men were empowered to the extent that they built agency, trust, skills, identity and hope.

RESUMO Este artigo analisa as modalidades de engajamento que os indivíduos estabelecem com o veículo alternativo Mídia NINJA. Com base na sociologia das emoções e os conceitos de engajamento e vínculos, analisamos como o envolvimento na NINJA implica em um laço emocional com um conjunto de práticas e com outros membros, estabelecendo um engajamento em relação ao midiativismo e com o estilo de vida desse coletivo. Adotamos um conjunto de metodologias qualitativas, incluindo duas observações de campo, um acompanhamento sistemático das publicações da NINJA, e 15 entrevistas em profundidade com jornalistas/midiativistas. Laços entre os ativistas da NINJA são formados na relação com o outro, e são marcados por diferentes emoções e os vínculos que emergem quando as vidas dessas pessoas convergem. É possível ver os ninjas como membros de uma comunidade outsider que busca construir uma utopia realizázxzxvel, uma vida alternativa, utilizando-se das emoções como força motriz. Juntos, eles desenvolvem novas formas de resistência, mas também de autorrealização.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to study the precariousness of labor among professors in Brazilian universities. To do so, it will emphasize a particular aspect of precariousness: the precariousness of the time of labor. Besides, the analysis encompasses Richard Sennett’s theory about craftsman and craftsmanship. In this regard, it suggests the consideration of teaching as a job and, as such, exhibiting typical features thereof, such as methodical curiosity, material consciousness of the activity and permanent self-involvement in its improvement. Given the nature of teaching, it suggests the hypothesis that the phenomenon of precariousness of labor affects teaching, distorting its original nature (the search for academic excellence as fundamental motivation of the professor) and using it even to enhance the very movement of precariousness of university work.

ABSTRACT On 18 October 2019, a mass revolt began in Chile against the results of the neoliberal political and economic system. In the context of strong repression by the police, different artistic manifestations appeared as an expression of opposition to the government. This included concerts, performances, street theater and dance as political action. In this article, we present the case of a community of Lindy Hop dancers to explain the meaning given to dancing in public spaces as a protest action during this Chilean social crisis. Using an auto-ethnographic approach, we show that hoppers redefined their dance practices in public spaces as an act of resistance to state violence, from a political and an emotional perspective. However, these actions generated conflict within the hopper community, and the legitimacy of such practice was brought into question.

ABSTRACT Water scarcity in northern Chile highlights critical relations between society and nature, marked by conflict and cooperation and mediated by power. Thus, intergenerational dynamics (IGDs) would appear to be a good perspective from which to both reflect and reinforce different approaches to this phenomenon within an Indigenous community when dealing with powerful outsiders. This article assesses the degree to which the Indigenous Community of Chiu-Chiu is internally differentiated according to IGDs, with a focus on the perceived costs and benefits of any outcomes of community negotiations, and how community inequalities regarding water resource outcomes drives the “resistance” to external actors like mining companies. Through IGDs, this article analyzes how the neoliberal market-structured 1981 National Water Code has challenged the development of the Indigenous Community of Chiu-Chiu, and the way the younger generation use music to represent their ancestral claims and fight to enforce the 1993 Indigenous Law and the International Labor Organization 169 Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples.

Resumen:Esta investigación se centra en la migración dominicana indocumentada a Puerto Rico en yolas desde 1970 hasta el siglo XXI. Las yolas son embarcaciones frágiles construidas antes de la salida o pequeños botes de pescadores.

Las estadísticas y la documentación oficial no exponen las complejidades de este movimiento poblacional y la historia oral constituye una forma excepcional de comprender estos procesos migratorios. A través de la memoria de la travesía de los y las migrantes entrevistados, podemos encontrar sustantivos como "el reclutador", "el capitán", "el organizador" y "el dueño del viaje".
