Special Issue
Brasiliana: Journal of Brazilian Studies

The objective of this special issue is to make use of this more expansive definition to produce an interdisciplinary, and multi-methodological exploration of Brazil’s relationship with the Global South. This thematic issue will be guided by the following questions:

  • How have Brazilian thinkers contributed to the conceptualisation of the so-called Global South?

  • What is the relationship between Brazil’s South-South Cooperation and the ideals of the Global South as a political project?

  • How do Brazilian social movements transcend borders to engage with the Global South? What is the role of transnationalism in this context?

  • What lessons are learned by and from the Global South in terms of Brazilian grassroots organisations and development projects?

Deadline: 15th May 2022

Special Issue
Bandung: Journal of the Global South

This Special Issue explores (re)iterations of tricontinentalism – solidarity and social movements based on the concept of a collective Latin American, Asian, and African identity. In particular, it deals with remnants of Cold War social movements that exist in present-day testimonies, documents, photos, political ephemera, and repertoires of contention. The objective is to bring to the surface those histories that are not typically taken up by the field of global or transnational history through the intersection of social movements and memories of Cold War tricontinentalism. The intention of this special issue is to highlight the particular forms and contents of transnational tricontinental activism and to initiate a dialogue on these topics between activists and researchers.

Deadline: 31st July
