Chapter 11 Reimagining the Fragmented City/Citizen Young People and Public Action in Rio De Janeiro
Toward Engaged Anthropology
By working with underserved communities, anthropologists may play a larger role in democratizing society. The growth of disparities challenges anthropology to be used for social justice. This engaged stance moves the application of anthropological theory, methods, and practice toward action and activism. However, this engagement also moves anthropologists away from traditional roles of observation toward participatory roles that become increasing…
Decolonizing the Notion of Participation of Children and Young People
What possibility is there for us to recognize and encourage children and young people’s participation in our contemporary world, which is largely determined by adults? What role does listening have in this recognition and encouragement of participation and in nurturing particular forms of theorizing that are amenable to these? This chapter addresses these questions in relation to the power dynamics imbued in theories and practices surrounding chi…

This paper is based on recent research conducted in Brazil on young people's understanding and practices of public action. The research examines some of the initiatives in which young people today participate: community organizations, cultural groups and social movements, and asks what this engagement means in their day-to-day lives. The paper also examines the historical processes that have come to shape this present field of public action and i…
Notes on a Dialogical Anthropology
What could a dialogical anthropology look like? That is, an anthropology where production of knowledge is premised on a close collaboration with research subjects, which is acutely mindful of the power relations inherent in such relationships as well as of the possible multiple publics through which such products could circulate. This article provides an inquiry into the possibility of this form of dialogical engagement, debating the notion of th…
Freedom, Revolt and `Citizenship: Three pillars of identity for youngsters living on the streets of Rio de Janeiro
This article investigates the experiences, identities and aspirations of children and adolescents living on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, formed as they are around the conditions of exclusion, violence and discrimination.

The complexity of these experiences and aspirat…
Rehearsing Reality — pushing the boundaries of documentary viewing
A review of Rehearsing Reality, a project that creatively pushes the boundaries of the experience of documentary viewing. Nina Simões' audiovisual experiment, which she terms docufragmentary, takes John Grierson's original definition of the documentary as the ‘creative use of actuality’ and pushes this further to mean not only the creativity involved in producing the film but also in viewing it
