Challenges to Brazilian Democracy Conference – Political Exile under the Bolsonaro Government
Welcome: James N. Green, Director, Brown Brazil Initiative
Brief Presentation of U.S. Observatory for Democracy in Brazil Website
Keynote Panel: What Does It Mean to Be a Political Exile under the Bolsonaro Government?
Débora Diniz, professor of anthropology and law
Jean Wyllys, journalist, former congressman
Márcia Tiburi, professor of philosophy
The recent election of Jair Bolsonaro to the Brazilian presidency has raised new questions about the state of democracy in Brazil. Are his campaign promises to criminalize social movements, stop the demarcation of indigenous lands, and eliminate opposition political parties merely electoral rhetoric? What does increased deforestation of the Amazon and other sensitive ecological zones mean for the environment? What is the fate of academic and cultural freedom under a new government whose supporters speak, among other questions, against “gender ideology” and “political correctness,” which can be read as veiled critiques of the women’s and the LGBTQI+ movements and the ideas of progressive social sectors? Will new gun policies result in more deaths in rural and urban areas, and particularly among people of African and indigenous descent? To what extent are human rights, especially among low-income citizens, under threat? This international conference, organized jointly with colleagues from Harvard University, will bring together scholars and social and cultural activists to analyze the current situation in Brazil and assess these and other threats to democracy posed by President Bolsonaro’s far-right agenda. At the Conference, we will also launch the US Observatory for Democracy in Brazil, an English-language website documenting recent events in the country, and have a strategic discussion about how U.S.-based academics and activists can defend democracy in Brazil.

Black Group Attachment and Political Opinion in Brazil
Relying on in-depth interviews, Mitchell-Walthour examines how Afro-Brazilians in Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo feel linked to blacks. Many Brazilians discuss how racial and social exclusion shape their lives which has an impact on feeling connected to other Afro-Brazilians. She relies on survey data collected in Salvador and São Paulo to examine the role of black group attachment on political support, including affirmative action, Law 10.639 (the requirement that African and Afro-Brazilian history be taught in schools), and whether the president should nominate blacks to important positions.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Brazil (Portuguese: Brasil Portuguese pronunciation: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen ), is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3.2 million square miles) and with over 208 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the fifth most populous. The capital is Brasília, and the most populated city is São Paulo. The federation is composed of the union of the 26 states, the Federal District, and the 5,570 municipalities. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas; it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world.Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 kilometers (4,655 mi). It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who claimed the area for the Portuguese Empire. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Brazil's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic. Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Brazil has the eighth largest GDP in the world by both nominal and PPP measures (as of 2017). It is s one of the world's major breadbaskets, being the largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. It is classified as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country, with the largest share of global wealth in Latin America. Brazil is a regional power in Latin America and sometimes considered a great power in international affairs, while some analysts identify it as a middle power. It has an international recognition and influence, and is subsequently classified as an emerging power and a potential superpower by several analysts. Brazil is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, BRICS, Union of South American Nations, Mercosul, Organization of American States, Organization of Ibero-American States and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.
À Espera da Medalha - o lado pouco conhecido das Olimpíadas do Rio de Janeiro
Documentário sobre as Olimpíadas do Rio de Janeiro produzido como Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso para o Jornalismo da UFSC.
Direção: Lucas Amarildo de Souza
Os Jogos Olímpicos marcaram o encontro de diversas culturas e nações, dentro e fora de quadra, na luta por medalhas. No entanto, a maior disputa de todas começou muito antes, fora das arenas. A comunidade da Vila Autódromo, vizinha do Parque Olímpico, abrigava 583 famílias até 2014. Hoje, conta com apenas 20. A saída de tantas pessoas fez parte das remoções empreendidas pela prefeitura para a organização dos jogos, que já é a maior da história da cidade. À Espera da Medalha acompanha a rotina dos moradores que tiveram seus lares tomados à força pelo governo e dos que resistem para permanecer, mostrando os principais momentos de luta da comunidade e o destino das famílias após a Olimpíada.
Barry Bergdoll, Learning from the Americas: Gropius and Breuer in the New World

With responses by Michael Hays, Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory, and Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design.
Barry Bergdoll is the Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art.

Challenges to Democracy in Brazil and the United States: A Collaborative and Comparative Analysis
For more on this event, visit:
For more on the Georgetown Latin America Initiative:
November 8, 2017 | In both Brazil and the United States today, democratic governance is under stress. Dr. Francisco Weffort highlighted the crisis of Brazil's democracy as grounded in societal trends and changes in political institutions, modes of competition, the changing role of the media, and the emergence of authoritarian styles. Dr. Abraham Lowenthal suggested that very similar challenges are emerging in the United States and will suggest the usefulness of collaboration between Brazilian and U.S. scholars in analyzing this convergence, discussing its implications and contemplating the future of democracy in the two countries, and how to improve its prospects.
