Inhabiting confinement: cat-children, affective infrastructures and politics of exclusion
type: item
description: This article analyzes the figure of the ‘cat-children’, both as an expression of a childhood confined by fear and enclosure, and as a response to the precariousness of life in contexts of urban vulnerability. Based on accounts from neighbours, mothers, and carers, the spatial, temporal, and emotional dimensions of living in confinement are explored. We argue that these experiences shape affective infrastructures that sustain life and activate adaptive strategies, allowing children to resist and reinvent their inhabiting conditions, transcending the domestic sphere. These figurations challenge functionalist and exclusionary urban logics, giving way to a situated critique that recognises childhood and care as key to imagining other possible urban futures.

The canon and its margins: bibliographic repertoires in social science teaching in Brazil
type: item
description: This article presents the findings of a study that examined the curricula of undergraduate (bachelor’s and licentiate) programs in Social Sciences situated in public higher education institutions in Brazil. It focused on the bibliographic repertoires of mandatory curricular components of social theory in Anthropology and Sociology, paying particular attention to the continuities and inflections in the authorship indicated in the courses’ pedagogical projects. By considering the literature as a constitutive dimension of education, the text investigates to what extent curricula reiterate, reconfigure, or challenge disciplinary canons, in light of the effects of the democratization of higher education and recent critiques of its historical foundations.

Containment and peripheral modernization
type: item
description: This article investigates Brazilian modernization by examining the paradoxical tension between the formal expansion of citizenship and the persistence of structural inequalities. Drawing on an articulated reading of Antonio Candido, Florestan Fernandes, and Roberto Schwarz, it argues that the peripheral incorporation of modernity occurred through “containment” — a historical pattern of selective assimilation of egalitarian demands that preserves existing power hierarchies. The concept of containment is proposed as a central analytical category for understanding this dynamic. Methodologically, the study combines dialectical criticism with the linguistic contextualism of the Cambridge School in order to analyze key concepts as interventions within intellectual debate.

The politics of violence and political violence
type: item
description: The article introduces the dossier dedicated to the relationships between violence, police, and politics in Brazil. It is grounded in the interpretation that violence constitutes a structuring element of Brazilian social history and of the production of public order. The text discusses transformations that have taken place since the country’s redemocratization, such as the growing centrality of police institutions in the management of crime and the increasing participation of members of the security forces in institutional politics. It also examines the connections between police corporations, the security market, and the representative system, as well as the resurgence of political violence. Finally, the article presents and contextualizes the papers and interviews that compose the dossier, highlighting their contributions to the debate on democracy, violence, and punishment.

The uses of the “regional” and other geosymbolic scales in the distinctive dynamics among elite fractions in João Pessoa (PB)
type: item
description: This article analyzes how urban elite fractions in João Pessoa (PB), Brazil, differentially mobilize references to the “regional” within their distinctive dynamics, considering their discourses about their home and its decoration as a means of access to these symbolic position-takings. Based on 32 semi-structured interviews and extensive documentary analysis conducted between 2021 and 2024, and drawing on the construction of the “micro social space” of João Pessoa’s elites, which classifies them both synchronically and diachronically, the study demonstrates how so-called “regional culture” is incorporated into distinctive symbolic compositions that combine different geographic scales. The meanings attributed to the regional vary according to the volume, structure, and trajectories of accumulation of economic and cultural capital, showing that distinction is produced through the capacity to articulate valued meanings of the regional with other geosymbolic instances.

Narratives and Dispositionalist Theory: a real life sociology. A critical review of the book Elas. Percursos "inesperados" de jovens mulheres das classes populares
type: item
description: This review presents a critical reflection on the book Elas. Percursos "inesperados" de jovens mulheres das classes populares, by João Teixeira Lopes, highlighting its theoretical and methodological contribution to contemporary sociological thought. Throughout the text, we show how the author mobilizes a materialist and relational sociology, attentive to the process of reflexivity in social research relations, constructing sociological portraits edited in the first person. These portraits make it possible to uncover the conditioning effects of social structures and, therefore, how each individual acts, reacts, thinks, feels, relates, and reinterprets structural constraints according to the situations of their everyday lives. Following the dispositionalist tradition, which emphasizes the past incorporated into social actors, Lopes articulates the biographical method with ethnography, producing an interpretive work based on the accounts of those who live this reality from within - of practices, trajectories, and contexts of socialization

History and Professional Identity of Sociology in Argentina: An Interview with Juan Pedro Blois
type: item
description: This text presents an interview with Juan Pedro Blois, professor at the National University of General Sarmiento and researcher at CONICET, devoted to the historical analysis of sociology in Argentina and to the construction of its professional identity. Drawing on his intellectual trajectory, Blois brings together the history of sociology and the sociology of professions to examine the processes of institutionalization of the discipline, the tensions between academic training and labor-market insertions, and the diversity of sociological practices within and beyond the university. The interview addresses the central role of teaching, the prominence of the Sociology program at the University of Buenos Aires, the influence of the student movement, and intellectual disputes surrounding figures such as Gino Germani and Alfredo Poviña. It also reflects on the development of the field of studies on the history of sociology in Argentina and identifies pending research agendas, particularly those focused on non-academic practices and on the social circulation of sociological knowledge.

The participation of police officers in the political-electoral process: a bibliographic review
type: item
description: This article aims to present an overview of the existing social science literature on the participation of police officers in the Brazilian political-electoral process. Since the country’s redemocratization, numerous police officers have occupied prominent elected positions in both the Executive and Legislative branches, with a notable increase in police candidates emerging from the 2018 elections onward. As this phenomenon gained visibility in public debate, various studies were produced and published. It is therefore pertinent to ask: What scholarly works on this topic exist within the social sciences, what are their characteristics, and in what ways do they engage with one another? To provide a consistent response to this inquiry, a range of publication repositories (such as Google Scholar and SciELO), as well as additional sources, were consulted to identify and analyze the studies addressing this subject. At this stage of the research, forty-two works were found, published between 1998 and 2025, originating primarily from the fields of Political Science and Sociology, and most commonly in the form of theses, dissertations, and journal articles. Ultimately, the article argues that this body of literature may be organized into four thematic axes: “Political-electoral elements,” “Representations of crime, violence, and punishment,” “The ‘Bancada da Bala,’” and “Political movements.”

Punitive trends in perspective: police officers in the São Paulo legislature
type: item
description: This article analyzes the role of “police-deputies” in the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo (2015-2018), examining how broader trends observed in the field of crime control and reflections on the “punitive turn” are expressed at the state level. Guided by a Foucauldian perspective on discourse, the documentary research – which included legislative bills, plenary session records, and parliamentary front proceedings – investigated the construction of public problems related to public security, urban space management, and punishment. The findings show how these practices expand the presence of the Military Police within public administration and redefine the boundaries between prevention and repression through the category of “urban disorder” and securitarian strategies. The article argues that the case reveals less a punitive turn than the incorporation of contemporary trends through the updating of historically rooted authoritarian practices of order production and inequality management.

Múltiplas crises e variados padrões de desigualdade desafiam os estudiosos do cuidado a entender as singularidades das tramas do cuidado, as quais são tanto mais visíveis quanto mais nos adentramos no campo dos estudos comparados. A isso tem se dedicado crescentemente a academia, como se ilustra neste texto.

Cannabis legalization and coloniality: an analysis of the canadian case and the limits of dessecuritization
type: item
description: This study analyzes the cannabis legalization process in Canada and argues that, given the historical impacts of prohibitionism and the “war on drugs”, it is necessary to think beyond the logic of desecuritization in order to understand the persistence of prohibitionist and colonial practices. To support this argument, the work examines the tensions between the Canadian federal government and Indigenous peoples, highlighting issues related to sovereignty, autonomy, and political participation. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, based on primary and secondary sources and on the process tracing theory testing method. We conclude, albeit partially, that the Canadian legalization process reveals the persistence and reconfiguration of colonialist practices that disregard Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination rights.

Entrevista com Othon Fernando Jambeiro Barbosa
type: item
description: Esta entrevista conta os bastidores da produção de um dos primeiros trabalhos de Sociologia sobre música popular de massa realizados na Universidade de São Paulo. Produzido nos anos mais duros da ditadura, por um aluno de mestrado perseguido por sua militância política, "Canção de massa – as condições da produção" é até hoje uma grande referência para estudos da área. Na conversa, o hoje professor titular da Universidade Federal da Bahia, Othon Jambeiro, conta sobre como pode entrar no mestrado em Sociologia, vindo praticamente fugido da perseguição militar na Bahia, através da mediação do então reitor da UFBA, Roberto Santos; da recepção em São Paulo em meio à cassação de professores e da orientação de Ruy Coelho, depois preso, e Marialice Foracchi.

Intellectuals, culture, and politics put to the test by sociology: an interview with Gisèle Sapiro
type: item
description: Interview with the French sociologist Gisèle Sapiro, which began in February 2025 in Paris and concluded in August of the same year in Campinas. In the conversation, the sociologist addresses central aspects of her career, such as her relationship with Pierre Bourdieu, as well as her intellectual production. Sapiro discusses decisive moments in the French intellectual scene, such as the role of the ehess and journals in the intellectual disputes of the European country, or the specificities of Bourdieu’s engagement against neoliberalism in the 1990s. She also addresses the relationships between autonomy and politicization, between the form of positions taken and the content of intellectuals’ ideas, and, even more so, the transformations in the links between fields, particularly between the fields of cultural production, the field of power, and the dominant economic logic – themes she has analyzed in some of her works. Furthermore, the (unpublished) speech by Pierre Bourdieu at the ceremony awarding the CNRS bronze medal to Gisèle Sapiro in 2000 is published as an appendix.

How exceptional is the USA? Carework and inequality
type: item
description: Countering the popular claim that what differentiates the USA for other wealthy countries in regard to the labor market dynamics of paid domestic labor is its relatively large immigrant population, this article argues that the critical factors are instead the USA’s minimal system of social provision and its extreme level of economic inequality (including inequality among women) which drives up both the supply of and the demand for paid domestic workers. In addition, in the USA paid domestic work is highly stratified, with extensive variation in pay and working conditions. In many respects the USA more closely resembles countries in the global South than its counterparts in the wealthy world.

What do uniformed politicians say about civilian armament?
type: item
description: This article analyzes speeches on civilian armament by federal deputies from security forces in the Chamber of Deputies (1991-2025). A total of 1,740 speeches were collected and classified by position and arguments. The results show that although they represent 3% of deputies, uniformed politicians account for 15% of speeches on firearms. From the 55th legislature (2015-2019) onward, a pro-armament shift was observed, coinciding with the increase of these parliamentarians, who were responsible for 61% of speeches favorable to liberalization. The main arguments emphasize self-defense, the dichotomy of “good citizens versus criminals,” and state failure. The study concludes that these deputies were central to transforming the debate, advocating individual responsibility for security to the detriment of state public security.

Structural and temporal determinants of political-electoral violence in Mexico
type: item
description: This article analyzes the structural and temporal determinants of political-electoral violence in México during the 2018, 2021, and 2024 federal elections. Using negative binomial regression models and electoral risk window analysis on a dataset of 1,051 violent events, the study identifies three significant structural factors. Municipal per capita income shows a positive association with violence, while partisan misalignment between municipal and state governments doubles the risk of violent events. Conversely, the prior homicide rate exhibits a negative association, suggesting dynamics of criminal consolidation or violence displacement. The findings reveal opposing temporal patterns by crime type: threats concentrate in the pre-electoral period and dissipate after election day, while homicides peak on election day and remain elevated during the following month. This differentiation points to distinct strategic logics operating within contexts of institutional fragmentation and local criminal governance.

Militarization as expertise: the military and the construction of authority in Brazilian public security
type: item
description: The article advances an analytical shift in debates on the militarization of public security in Brazil by treating it as a process of constructing and circulating expertise, rather than merely as institutional expansion or democratic backsliding. Drawing on sociology of expertise, it argues that the authority to name problems, define standards of evidence, and prescribe interventions is relational and contingent, and is produced through devices that stabilize languages and routines. Empirically, the article combines (i) a description of the historical series of Law-and-Order Guarantee operations (GLO), emphasizing their intermittent recurrence as a reactivable state repertoire, and (ii) analysis of doctrinal documents that transform episodic experience into portable and teachable competence. It shows how key manuals issued by the Ministry of Defense (2014) and by the Army (2018) codify operational categories, delimit exceptionality, establish inter-agency coordination arrangements, and provide templates for planning, communication, and accountability. In doing so, the article offers a complementary perspective to the established literature on the militarization of public security by specifying the mechanisms through which exceptional interventions become governable and defensible as management. Finally, it outlines research agendas on the genealogies and micropolitics of doctrinal production, translations between peacekeeping repertoires and domestic repertoires, and ecologies of credentials through which military experience is converted into public authority.
