- NEW COURSE FOR THE FALL 2013
LAST 199- INTRODUCTION TO BRAZILIAN STUDIES
(3 credits - no prerequisite - taught in
English)
Instructor: Jose Cairus
The purpose of this course is to introduce
students to topics in Brazil through a multidisciplinary approach using a broad
range of sources such as textbooks, novels, magazines, and audiovisual
materials. Students will be introduced to the Portuguese realm of Latin America
with its transatlantic connections. Classes will elaborate on the high mixed
ethnic environment in Brazil that blended Natives, Europeans, Africans, and
Asians. This phenomenon bore a rich and distinct culture that manifests itself
in music, arts and sports, some of which was later exported on a
planetary scale. Course materials will also
cover contemporary topics in economy, society, politics, and environmental
issues. Topics will be taught in a comparative framework with other Latin American
countries, the United States and within a global context. By conclusion, we
will analyze the rise of Brazil, at the twilight of the twenty first century,
to a top world economic and as a political "soft power" on global
scale upheld by a solid social democracy.
Jose T. Cairus was born in Rio de Janeiro,
and has an M.A. in African Diaspora at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
and a Ph.D. in Latin American History at York University in Toronto. His
doctoral dissertation is titled "The Gracie Clan and the Making of
Brazilian jiu-jitsu: National Identity, Performance and Culture,
1905-1993". At York University, University of Guelph and University of
Toronto, Dr. Cairus has taught courses in Islamic Civilization, African
History, Latin American History and Brazilian Culture.

MONKEYS, HUMANS
AND YELLOW FEVER: A CASE OF LETHAL ANS COSTLY MISINFORMATION IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL
Between
late 2008 and the middle of 2009 an outbreak of sylvatic yellow fever caused
the deaths of seven people and more than 2,000 howler monkeys in the state of
Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. The disease outbreak spread panic among the
local human population. Fear of the disease and misinformation disseminated by
the media about the role of howler monkeys in the yellow fever cycle led
inhabitants of several regions to illegally kill these already regionally
threatened primates. In this talk I will make the case that howler monkeys are
our allies in detecting the spread of the yellow fever virus by playing an
important role as sentinels. The howlers did not cause the re-emergence of this
African infectious disease nor did they promote its transmission or its rapid
spread through the highly fragmented landscape of the state of Rio Grande do
Sul. I also will explain the role of howler monkeys, humans and mosquitoes in
the yellow fever cycle, and describe an outreach campaign 'Protect our Guardian
Angels' that I launched to inform the public and the media that protecting
howler monkeys is a matter of public health. The campaign was successful in
getting the support of educational, scientific, governmental (health- and
environment-related) and religious institutions, and NGOs, and was effective in
changing how the news media presented scientific information to the public.

MAJOR TRENDS IN DRUG TRAFFICKING
AND ORGANIZED CRIME IN LATINA MERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN IN THE 21ST
CENTURY
What
are the major trends that have characterized the evolution of illicit drug
trafficking and organized crime (organized criminal networks) in the Americas
over the last quarter of a century? Which have been the principal
transformations or adaptations –economic, political and organizational -that
have taken place within the region’s vast illegal drug economy during first decade
of the twenty first century? This essay identifies eight key trends or patterns
that typify the ongoing transformation of the drug trade and the organized
criminal groups it has spawned as of mid-2011. They are: 1) The increasing
globalization of drug consumption; 2) The limited or “partial victories” and
unintended consequences of the U.S.-led ‘War on Drugs’, especially in the
Andes; 3) The proliferation of areas of drug cultivation and of drug smuggling
routes throughout the hemisphere (so
-called
“balloon effects”); 4) The dispersion and fragmentation of organized criminal
groups or networks within countries and across sub-regions (“cockroach
effects”); 5) The failure of political reform and state-building efforts
(deinstitutionalization effects); 6) The inadequacies or failures of U.S.
domestic drug and crime control policies (demand control failures); 7) The
ineffectiveness of regional and international drug control policies (regulatory
failures); 8) The growth in support for harm reduction, decriminalization and
legalization policy alternatives (legalization debate).
Professor
Bagley, holds a PhD. in Political Science from the University of California,
Los Angeles. His research interests are in U.S.-Latin American relations, with
an emphasis on drug trafficking and security issues. From 1991 to 1995 he
served as associate dean of the Graduate School of International Studies at the
University of Miami. Prior to his appointment at UM, he was assistant professor
of Comparative Politics and Latin American Studies at the School of Advanced
International Studies (SAIS) of the Johns Hopkins University.

Deadline: April 28, 2013
Minimum
Requirements:
Ph.D. or doctoral degree in political science or another social science.
Preferred
Qualifications:
The selected candidate will be required to agree with the following terms:
- To develop his/her own research in line with the objectives of the project and the fellowship;
- To create a database on the patterns of Executive-Legislative relations in Latin-American presidential regimes, focusing on institutional variables and systematic information regarding the legislation output, roll call votes and the composition of coalitions;

Additional
Information:
Research Questions and Objectives: The incompatibility between presidential systems and party coalitions has already been questioned and denied by an extensive literature. While coalition presidentialism was considered to be a rare characteristic of the Brazilian political system, it is frequently found in democracies in Latin America and Eastern Europe. Little is known about how coalitions are formed and work in presidential regimes. The notion that coalitions obey different logics in presidential and parliamentary systems, in spite of the theoretical contestation and evidence reporting opposite results, is still maintained. Such misunderstanding is the result of a lack of systematic studies on this theme. It is this gap that this project seeks to fill. Thus, in line with the objectives of the Thematic Project, the Post-Doctoral research fellow will be expected to gather data in a structured form to analyze two institutional variables: the legislative powers of the Executive and the internal organization of the Legislature, which have proven to be fundamental to understand Executive-Legislative relations and government performance in Brazil. In particular, the research project should draw direct attention to how agenda-setting powers affect the management of disputes within governmental coalitions.
In this project, agenda powers are considered to be weapons of the majority, rather as resources that facilitate the working of the coalition, protecting its unity by facilitating the bargaining process inside the coalition, than a tool to circumvent the opposition. Such a perspective implies a redirection of the central axis of coalition governments’ research from an excessive focus on examining the formation and breakdown of coalitions towards research guided to understand how the coalitions actually work. A coalition works if it proves capable of internal coordination.
According to the mainstream literature on comparative studies, the project stresses the explanatory power of institutional variables. However, it differs from dominant trends in this field by questioning the emphasis on variables related to the electoral and party systems and to the form of government. Analyses of government coalitions were damaged by this type of excessive emphasis. While the study of this phenomenon is quite common for parliamentary regimes, little focus has been put on this dynamic in presidential regimes.

Ironia y Politica en la cultura Latinoamericana/ Irony
and Politics in Latin American Culture
Oct. 24-26, 2013
Radboud Universidad, Holanda/ Radboud University, Holland
Radboud Universidad, Holanda/ Radboud University, Holland
This conference
aims to examine the way in which irony -as well as contiguous forms such as
cynicism and black humor- have influenced the representation of violence in
Latin American culture across time. Our goal is to analyze the poetical,
political, ethical and possibly therapeutic functions of irony from a
transcultural and transregional perspective. Proposals are invited for papers
in which the theoretical reflection on the relation between irony and violence
has an essential role, focusing on the fields of literature, film, visual arts,
theatre, popular music and other forms of artistic expression. We also
encourage proposals in which the relation between irony and violence is
explored from the perspective of other disciplines, such as anthropology,
sociology or philosophy.
Abstracts can be sent to ironyandviolence@gmail.com before 1 May 2013. Please also include a short biography.
