1. Creating a Testimony of the Unspeakable: Testimonial Injustice, Affects and Political Mobilization of Indigenous Women in MéxicoNatalia De Marinis, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: In the context of widespread violence that México has experienced increasingly since the launch of the War on Drugs trafficking in 2007, victims’ testimonies have emerged across various settings, fostering empathy and constructing a narrative that challenges the criminalization and societal passivity in the face of violent death. These testimonies have played a crucial role in shaping commemorative practices and facilitating reparative processes in cases where impunity persists. However, the construction of testimonies and memories is far from neutral. These narratives are shaped by intersecting racial, gender, and class dynamics that influence what can be told and heard at a given time. Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted in the Zongolica region in the Gulf of México, this article explores how the testimonies of Indigenous women have been subjected to specific forms of injustice. Their experiences of violence are often denied, their credibility questioned, and the harms they endured erased, leaving them marginalized within accepted testimony of violence. Furthermore, the article highlights how Indigenous women and their communities are actively seeking truth and justice by creating alternative testimonial practices to promote reparations processes, foster solidarity, and bring to light the profound impacts of militarization and criminal violence in their communities.

2. Militias, Factions, and Precariousness: Notes on Living Conditions in the City of Rio de Janeiro OutskirtsLia de Mattos Rocha, Monique Batista Carvalho, Jonathan da Motta, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This paper explores the dynamics of territorial control exercised by armed groups – factions and militias – in the outskirts and favelas of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The purpose was to investigate and describe the current dynamics of ‘siege’ produced by different armed groups, their effects on local sociability, and the production of precariousness to which residents of these locations are subjected. The research was conducted in six city territories and allowed the construction of a comparative matrix that cross-referenced the following information: type of armed group operating in the location; situation of the territory in terms of armed control; type of territorial presence; and relationship with the local population.

8. Machiavelli or Gandhi?Carool Kersten, 2009, original scientific article Abstract: This article examines the doctrine of non-violence formulated by the Thai political scientist Chaiwat Satha-Anand, based on a close reading of his thesis "The Non-Violent Prince". Chaiwat's theoretical considerations will be related to the work of the political philosopher Leo Strauss. To illustrate his case for a pragmatic ethics of non-violence, Chaiwat Satha-Anand's doctrine will also be contrasted with the Gandhian notion of non-violence through a comparison with the writings of the French Islamologist Louis Massignon on the subject. Apart from this contrast, Massignon's concern with non-violent solutions for conflicts in the Muslim world forms an interesting parallel to Chaiwat Satha-Anand's engagement with similar issues affecting Thailand's Muslims
