The national community and the university

In the current environment of globalisation, competition and engagement in the global knowledge economy, universities are increasingly expected to perform against global expectations. What can sometimes seem eclipsed in the current rush to perform against these global expectations is the mission of a university to engage and support the common good within a framework of nation building. Building a sense of shared national purpose and commitment to the common good by universities requires a serious look at how contemporary globalisation and the spread and ascendency of individualistic values is diminishing our sense of shared duty and genuine community engagement.

The embrace of border security: maritime jurisdiction, national sovereignty, and the geopolitics of operation sovereign borders

Border security has become one of the key means by which the sovereignty and security of powerful nation-states is projected. This paper offers a set of observations of the Australian Commonwealth’s descriptions and instructions for its embrace of border security. Border security is legible here as a geopolitics that transforms the rights and responsibilities of maritime jurisdictions into a space of security that projects national sovereignty through the interdiction of boat arrivals. Its intensification as Operation Sovereign Borders is read as a further variation within national sovereignty, one that elevates the decisionist prerogative into total deterrence. Operation Sovereign Borders pushes the limits of sovereignty’s existence in the state toward a total domination of space, perception and human life in Australia’s maritime jurisdictions, in the name of the nation. This necessitates the development, defence and reinforcement of a regionally engaged materiality that is embodied, extended, enacted, and distributed. The intended effect of this coordinated effort is to secure the nation’s sovereignty as a unity, but the broader effect has been to devalue offshore life to secure onshore interests, in a way that now necessitates indefinite offshore detention.

LIBRAS e português no letramento de surdos e ouvintes: a experiência do Sarau Bilíngue

O presente estudo investiga os posicionamentos e a agência de participantes de um Sarau Bilíngue. O Sarau é uma proposta didática / pedagógica, desenvolvida no Curso Bilíngue de Pedagogia do Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos INES e visa integrar surdos e ouvintes, de forma lúdica, proporcionando práticas de letramento que envolvem dramatizações, traduções e adaptações de textos da língua portuguesa para LIBRAS, contribuindo para o acesso à literatura e à música, o rompimento de barreiras e a quebra de preconceitos mediada pela arte. O estudo tem caráter interdisciplinar e de cunho etnográfico, dialogando com os campos da Sociologia, Ciências Sociais, Fonoaudiologia, Educação, Surdez e localizando-se na área da Linguística Aplicada. É realizado a partir de uma entrevista de grupo, analisada qualitativa e interpretativamente. A análise é desenvolvida à luz dos conceitos de posicionamento (DAVID e HARRÉ,1999), agência (AHEARN, 2001) e construções identitárias (HALL, 2006; CASTELLS, 1999) sinalizados por pistas lexicais. A análise mostra os posicionamentos, agência e construções identitárias emergentes durante a entrevista e como contribuem para a construção do letramento (GEE, 1990; KLEIMAN, 2005) dos participantes a partir de sua participação em um Sarau Bilíngue

A protecção jurídica do consumidor em Angola

The scope of the present work is to study the legal protection conferred upon the consumer in Angola, especially as regards electronic communication agreements. Its purpose is to promote consumers’ rights and contribute to its defence given the relatively privileged position of professionals in their relationship with consumers. With this in mind, we have made a description of the Consumer Law in Angola based on the Angolan Constitution (as the law that establishes the fundamental rights and guarantees of citizens) and on the Consumer’s Defence Law, which, as the basic law regarding consumers’ rights, provides the framework for this dissertation. We have analysed several aspects relating to consumer relationships, starting from its concept and rights of consumers and covering the legal and contractual mechanisms put in place for their protection. We have also analysed the Advertising Law with a view to better understand consumer’s rights before advertising campaigns carried out by professionals whilst promoting their goods and services and, additionally, to understand the duties and principles that shall be complied with in such campaigns with the purpose to protect the rights and interests of consumers. From a criminal point of view, we have briefly covered the crimes against consumers provided for in the Penal Code and the Law of Infractions against the Economy. In the second part of this work, we have summarised the institutions that protect the rights and interests of consumers, which include the Public Prosecutor Office, the National Institute for the Defence of the Consumers and the Consumers’ Associations. The third and last part of this work covers electronic communications agreements. Given the fact that there is no specific legislation in this matter, our analysis was based on the Civil Code – specifically the part relating to contracts – the Law on General Contractual Terms and Conditions and the Consumer’s Defence Law. We have analysed the formation of contracts, compliance and consumers’ rights resulting from contract breach. We further have appealed to the Angolan legislator to legislate certain aspects of consumer relationships, especially those where breach of consumers’ rights are blatant and facilitated by the lack of specific laws addressing such cases.
