An Ontological Security Interpretation of Global South Middle Powers' Non‐Alignment in the Ukrainian War
This paper explores why a group of Global South middle powers has adopted stances on the Ukrainian war that diverged from the positions of the United States under President Joe Biden, the European Union and the broader NATO/Western alliance. I claim that these disparities are partially explained by the affiliation these states have with the notion of non‐alignment that has been re‐signified in the context of the conflict in Ukraine. I argue that …
Análise morfológica do panejamento de Veiga Valle: Um estudo de caso
Uma das questões centrais da arte barroca reside na complexidade morfológica das suas esculturas devocionais (Lefftz, 2002; 2006). Historicamente, a representatividade artístico-cultural sobre o Barroco no Brasil privilegia artistas oriundos dos centros hegemônicos da produção do patrimônio cultural, notadamente do eixo de pesquisa nordeste-sudeste. Da Cidade de Goiás, projetaram-se as esculturas sacras de José Joaquim da Veiga Valle (1896-1874),…
A história-imagem da arte: Alegoria, ruínas e a escritura em Johan Joachim Winckelmann
A invenção do campo de saber nomeado “História da Arte Ocidental” confirma- se como fabricação e fabulação escriturárias nas páginas do historiador da arte alemão Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-68). O arrebatamento estético que captura Winckelmann ao deparar ocular e presencialmente com as ruínas da Antiguidade Clássica em Roma, instaura um modo completamente outro, naquilo que concerne ao antiquarismo setecentista vigente então, na lida com a …
Uneven and combined desires: A psychological rethinking of societal multiplicity in world politics
This article contributes to the growing body of scholarship which claims the notion of societal multiplicity offers both a foundational ontology and novel theoretical approach to the discipline of International Relations (IR). By focusing on its unheeded psychological dimension, I offer a critique of societal multiplicity with the aim of contributing to theory development. The central contention of this article is that, despite several compelling…
Apresentação do Dossiê Devires Decoloniais: Resistências, Impasses, Estratégias
This text introduces the file entitled Decolonial Becoming: Resistances, Impasses, Strategies, conceived for the Ouvirouver journal, while exploring the epistemic genealogy of decoloniality, as well as proposing a critical analysis of its emergence in the expanded field of the arts and culture, its specificities, resistances, impasses and strategies as a project in progress
Ontological Security and Climate Policy in Jair Bolsonaro’s Brazil: Understanding the Emotional Underpinnings of Environmental Destruction
In this paper, we examine Brazil's climate/environmental discourse and policy during Jair Bolsonaro's administration (2019–2022), focusing on the relationship between the state leader and the powerful agricultural sector. We address the following question: What factors drove and sustained Bolsonaro's strong connection with Brazilian agribusiness, leading to the normalization of policies and discourses that undermined Brazil's environmental commit…
An Autoethnography of Hybrid IR Scholars: De-Territorializing the Global IR Debate
Who can speak from the perspective of the Global South? In answering this question, Global International Relations (IR) finds itself in a cul de sac: rather than globalize IR, Global IR essentializes non-Western categories by associating difference and knowledge to place (countries, regions, and civilizations) which occludes de-territorialized forms of knowledge production. To reach out for these forms of knowledge, we develop the concept of 'hyb…
Macumbarias travestis em Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro ou a implosão do teatro da representação: Corpo, Gênero, Negritude
Interessa ao pesquisador como o corpo poético negro e travesti da artista Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro se contrapõe à História e ao Sistema da Arte hegemônicos, ao mesmo tempo que contribui para uma revisão de suas práticas discursivas de inclusão e exclusão, por meio de sua poiesis, sua fabulação poética, na qual a um só tempo se visita e se reinventa uma ancestralidade afroindígena, atinente às origens e religiosidade da artista. A aparição e a …
Explaining Brazil as a rising state, 2003‒2014: The role of policy diffusion as an international regulatory instrument
Orlando e a Utopia como Aporia: Corpo, Gênero, Ficção
This texts stems from the realisation of an aporia: the utopic is the bearer of a tyrannical imposition of a projected idealness, which is nothing short of the perverse facet of utopia. To us, the ideological arsenal contrary to the unpredicatibility of gender modulations finds in Orlando, by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), published in 1928, the symptomal investigative sign which gravitates around the complexities pertaining to gender issues, which …
The decolonial subject and the problem of non-Western authenticity
It is argued in this paper that some decolonising strategies in the study of global politics are precluded by the problem of non-Western authenticity. I question the idea of an identifiable non-Western geo-cultural context that could significantly reconstitute what already is a post-Western subject. I claim that in most cases the asymmetrical encounter between the colonised and the coloniser has fundamentally and extensively redefined human subje…
(Re-)imagining the 'Self' of Ontological Security: The Case of Brazil's Ambivalent Postcolonial Subjectivity
In this article, I critically engage with and develop an alternative approach to ontological security informed by Jacques Lacan's theory of the subject. I argue that ontological security relates to a lack; that is, the always frustrated desire to provide meaningful discursive interpretations to one's self. This lack is generative of anxiety which functions as the subject's affective and necessary drive to a continuous, albeit elusive, pursuit of …
Understanding Resilience in International Relations: The Non-Aligned Movement and Ontological Security
Born more than half a century ago, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) embodied the collective identity and aspirations of newly independent nations in Africa and Asia. Since the end of the Cold War, NAM’s relevance has been brought into question given the passing of the geopolitical context that motivated its creation. More recently, in the wake of the NAM’s Tehran meeting in August 2012, myriad analyses have yet again questioned NAM’s political effe…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Challenges to Emerging and Established Powers: Brazil and the United Kingdom in the Contemporary Global Order
The energy-security–climate-change nexus in Brazil
How do competing claims about energy-security and climate-change policies play out in the Brazilian domestic system? Has the Brazilian government’s recent attempt to unite climate and energy-security narratives around the notion of ‘sustainability’ had a substantive impact on Brazil’s energy and environmental policies? Domestic and international environmental actors have played increasingly important roles while lobbying the government to include…

Brazilian Foreign Policy in the Context of Global Climate Norms
This article is an enquiry into Brazil’s evolving responses to global climate change norms. Following an overview of the evolution of international normative frameworks of climate change governance, I examine the relationship between some of these international norms and domestic environmental politics in Brazil. Internationally, the analysis focuses on the North/South political debate about climate change and its role in shaping understandings a…
Rising States and Distributive Justice: Reforming International Order in the Twenty-First Century
Contrary to predominantly materialist accounts of the impact and implications of rising powers in shaping the global order, the present study explores how ideas related to South-South solidarity formed the interests and directed the collective actions of emerging states. It specifically looks at attempts by India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA), through their trilateral development assistance mechanism, the IBSA Fund, to challenge traditional nor…
India, Brazil, and South Africa (Ibsa): South-South Cooperation and the Paradox of Regional Leadership
This article argues that the long-term sustainability of the trilateral partnership established in 2003 between India, Brazil, and South Africa (IBSA) rests on a more conscious engagement with their regional partners. The construction of a strong regional leadership role for IBSA based on its members' strategic positions in South Asia, South America, and southern Africa is the proper common ground to legitimize a diplomatic partnership between th…
Southern Africa's response(s) to international HIV/Aids norms: The politics of assimilation
This article is interested in the impact of a singular international phenomenon, namely the global securitisation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic , on the domestic structure of three Southern African states: Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa. These countries are geographically located in the epicenter of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, Southern Africa. However, notwithstanding their common HIV/AIDS burden, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa present…
The Securitization of the HIV/Aids Epidemic as a Norm: A Contribution to Constructivist Scholarship on the Emergence and Diffusion of International Norms
This article discusses the emergence in the late 1990s of an innovative conceptualization of security that proclaims the global HIV/AIDS epidemic a threat to international peace and stability. The study provides a framework for understanding the securitization of the HIV/AIDS epidemic as an international norm defined and promoted mainly by multilateral bodies, powerful states in the North and transnational HIV/AIDS advocacy networks. The HIV/AIDS…
The new diplomacy of the South: South Africa, Brazil, India and trilateralism
In the aftermath of 9/11 surely of great significance is the reassertion of the South – North divide as a defining axis of the international system. In this context the emergence of a coterie of Southern countries actively challenging the position and assumptions of the leading states of the North is an especially significant event. The activism on the part of three middle-income developing countries in particular—South Africa, Brazil and India—h…
