SOLICITAÇÃO DE CONTRIBUIÇÕES
“Consolidando o campo dos Direitos Humanos sob uma perspectiva dos países do Sul: Ações e Reflexões sobre a) direitos sexuais, b) acesso a medicamentos e propriedade intelectual e c) liberdades laicas”
Prazo para Recebimento de Artigos: 10 de Março de 2010
O Observatório Interdisciplinar de Direitos Humanos da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) e Sur – Rede Universitária de Direitos Humanos convida todos os interessados a enviar suas contribuições sobre a) direitos sexuais, b) acesso a medicamentos e propriedade intelectual e c) liberdades laicas, pensadas sob a ótica dos direitos humanos na perspectiva dos países do Sul, para serem publicadas nos próximos números da Revista Sur.
A Sur – Revista Internacional de Direitos Humanos é publicada duas vezes por ano e distribuída gratuitamente para aproximadamente 2700 leitores em mais de 100 países. A revista é editada em três idiomas: Inglês, Português e Espanhol; e se encontra inteiramente disponível on-line no site www.revistasur.org.
O objetivo da revista é disseminar um canal de comunicação entre professores e ativistas de direitos humanos e apontar também a perspectiva do hemisfério sul, sem omitir as contribuições de outras regiões. O convite para o envio de contribuições para a Sur – Revista Internacional de Direitos Humanos é parte do projeto “Consolidando o campo dos Direitos Humanos sob uma perspectiva dos países do Sul: Ações e Reflexões sobre a) direitos sexuais, b) acesso a medicamentos e propriedade intelectual e c) liberdades laicas”, financiado pela Fundação Ford e executado pelo Observatório Interdisciplinar de Direitos Humanos da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), entre 2007 e 2009.
Este projeto tem um objetivo de caráter acadêmico – reflexão teórico-conceitual e interdisciplinar dos temas selecionados – e outro político, marcado pela necessidade de intervenção no debate nacional e internacional nestes campos. Interessa, particularmente, a construção de agendas de ação e cooperação entre os países do hemisfério sul em temas de direitos humanos. É a partir deste marco que a Revista Sur recebe contribuições que abordem os seguintes temas:
a) Direitos Sexuais:
A discussão a respeito dos direitos sexuais traz como questão central a igualdade de direitos e autonomia sobre o próprio corpo, independente do sexo, gênero ou orientação sexual. E se por um lado é possível identificar avanços significativos em termos da conquista desta igualdade, por outro, pode-se observar que estes avanços se restringem a determinados grupos sociais, cidades ou países. Os direitos sexuais podem ser percebidos, assim, como mais um elemento de desigualdade que se coloca, tanto entre os países do Sul Global, como destes em relação aos países do Norte.
Propomos, assim, trazer para o debate dos direitos sexuais as especificidades dos países do sul no sentido de problematizar as dicotomias e classificações tradicionalmente acionadas neste debate, tais como heterossexual/homossexual, masculino/feminino, saúde/prazer, direito/responsabilidade, sexo/gênero.
b) Acesso a Medicamentos:
A compreensão de que as pessoas têm direito a alguns bens e serviços é algo relativamente recente, sendo resultado de um conjunto de discussões que têm sido feitas na direção da inclusão de determinados segmentos da sociedade a instâncias relativas à saúde, à educação, entre outras, das quais se encontravam apartados.
No sentido prático, pode-se dizer que o acesso a determinados bens e serviços constitui-se em um objeto de disputa política e se encontra em tensão em diferentes campos do social, dentre eles o do direito, o da economia, o da saúde e o da política.
No registro teórico dessa discussão é que pensamos na produtividade de articular no âmbito da Revista Sur três conceitos que se situam na interface dos direitos humanos, do direito e da saúde: acessibilidade, vulnerabilidade e necessidade.
c) Liberdades laicas:
Este tópico refere-se em especial às articulações entre o campo dos direitos humanos e o campo das reflexões e ações acerca das liberdades laicas, dos processos de secularização e da laicidade do Estado. Pensar o tema das liberdades laicas a partir da trajetória histórica dos países do Sul Global, implica por um lado levar em conta a ação colonizadora das nações européias, acompanhada da importação em especial do catolicismo, mesclado com as religiões locais; e por outro estabelecer conexões entre o aprofundamento das experiências democráticas nos países do Sul, o fortalecimento dos direitos humanos, os movimentos de secularização da sociedade e exigência constitucional de laicidade do Estado. Assim, alguns temas aparecem como prioritários, entre eles: a construção de políticas públicas inclusivas e laicas, o que vale em especial para temas de saúde e educação (há vários temas sensíveis nestas interfaces, como aborto, ensino religioso na escola pública, como sexualidade, concepção assistida, células tronco, etc.); e a ação das representações religiosas nos parlamentos locais e nacionais, suas coligações e formas de pressão política.
***
Os artigos sobre os temas propostos enviados até o 10 de março participarão da seleção para o número 12 da revista (a ser publicado no primeiro semestre de 2010).
Serão avaliados somente artigos inéditos.

Call for Contributions: “Consolidating the field of Human Rights from the Perspective of the countries of the South: Actions and Reflections on a) sexual rights, b) access to medicine and intellectual property and c) religious freedoms”
Source: Sur
Topics: Sexual & reproductive rights
The Interdisciplinary Human Rights Observatory of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and Sur - University Human Rights Network invite all who are interested to submit contributions regarding a) sexual rights, b) access to medicine and intellectual property and c) religious freedoms, under the lens of human rights and from the perspective of the countries of the South, to be published in the upcoming editions of Sur - International Journal on Human Rights (Revista Sur). Deadline for contributions: March 10, 2010.
Revista Sur is published twice a year and distributed free of charge to approximately 2,700 readers in more than 100 countries. It can be accessed online and is available in three different languages: English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Revista Sur aims at opening channels of communication between and among professors and human rights activists, as well as disseminating the perspectives of the southern hemisphere, though not excluding contributions from other regions.
This invitation to submit contributions to Revista Sur comprises part of the project “Consolidating the field of Human Rights from the perspective of countries of the South: Actions and Reflections on a) sexual rights, b) access to medicine and intellectual property and c) religious freedoms”, financed by the Ford Foundation and executed by the Interdisciplinary Human Rights Observatory of UFRGS, between 2007 and 2009.
The goal of this project is of both an academic nature – requiring theoretical-conceptual and interdisciplinary reflections on selected subjects – and a political nature, as indicated by a need to intervene into the national and international debates surrounding these topics. Of particular interest to the project is the development of plans of action and cooperation for countries of the southern hemisphere, on various human rights themes. It is for this reason that the Journal seeks contributions that discuss the following subject areas:
a) Sexual Rights:
The discussion of sexual rights raises a question that is central to the equality of rights and corporal autonomy, independent of sex, gender or sexual orientation. If, on the one hand, it is possible to identify significant advances in terms of overcoming this inequality, on the other hand, one can observe that such advances are restricted to certain social groups, cities or countries.
In this way, sexual rights can be perceived as one more element of inequality, existing both: among the countries of the Global South; and between the countries of the Global South and those of the North.
For this reason, the editors propose bringing insights from countries of the south to the debate on sexual rights, in order to underscore the problems associated with the dichotomies and classifications traditionally addressed within this debate, such as: heterosexual/homosexual, masculine/feminine, health/pleasure, right/responsibility, sex/gender.
b) Access to Medicine:
The belief that individuals have the right to certain goods and services is relatively new, resulting from a series of discussions that have been carried out with the aim of including certain segments of society, in cases relating to health and education, among others, that had formerly been excluded.
Practically speaking, it can be said that access to certain goods and services constitutes an object of political debate and is in a place of tension in different fields, such as society, law, economics, health and politics. On the theoretical side of this discussion, we think it prudent to articulate, within the scope of the Journal, three concepts that are found on the interface of human rights, law and health: accessibility,
vulnerability and necessity.
c) Religious Freedoms:
This topic refers specifically to articulations between the field of human rights and the field of reflections and actions surrounding religious freedoms, the processes of secularization and the secularity of the State. To think of the subject of religious freedoms from the historical perspective of the countries of the Global South is to imply: (i) on the one hand, taking into account colonization by European nations,
special importation of Catholicism, and subsequent mixing with the local religions; and (ii) on the other hand, connecting the deepening of democratic experiences in the countries of the South to the strengthening of human rights, societal secularization movements and the constitutional demand of secularization of the State. For this reason, some subjects appear as priorities, including: the construction of inclusive and secular public policies, which are especially important in the areas of health and education (within which are several sensitive subjects, such as: abortion, religious education in public schools, homosexuality, assisted conception, stem cell research, etc.); and the effects of religious representation in local and national governments and religious coalitions and their forms of political pressure.
Articles discussing the topics proposed above, which are submitted by March 10th 2010 will be considered for selection in the 12th edition of the Journal (to be published in the first semester of 2010). Only original articles will be evaluated. All contributions will be evaluated by at least two members of Revista Sur’s Editorial Council or Consultative Council and, as often as necessary, by outside specialists. Any suggested changes will be sent to the respective author, and the incorporation of such changes will be subject to the express authorization of the author. Because distribution of the Journal is free of charge, the Journal unfortunately cannot remunerate its collaborators. In terms of authors’ rights, the Revista Sur uses the Creative Commons 2.5 license to publish its articles (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/deed.en).
