Abstract Throughout history, on several occasions, technological advances have driven fundamental changes in the defence sector. The increasing availability and technological dependence led to the redefinition of pre-established functions, the modification of the main missions, and even the rearticulation of traditional values of the military institution. From this perspective, the article aims to answer the following question: in what way did the Project for the Integration of Female Personnel in the Line of Military Warfare Education (PISFLEMB) promote innovation in the Brazilian Armed Forces? It is argued that the participation of women in a traditionally male institution is responsible for generating organizational innovation, both in values and conduct. Data will be collected through official documents and primary sources as modelled for analysis of military innovations. The study is distinguished by the understanding that innovations in the defence sector are an opportunity for transformation and a stimulus for changing patterns of conduct.Legitimacy, Power, and Inequalities in the Multistakeholder Internet Governance: Analyzing IANA Transition10.1590/S0102-8529.20234503e202200222024-01-23T19:59:08.415000Z2020-08-09T06:48:26.758000ZOppermann, Daniel

Abstract In this Forum, six scholars reflect on Rahul Rao’s recent book Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality from other geographies, themes and radical possibilities. Part I offers dialogues with Out of Time from Trump’s USA and Brazil’s ‘hetero-military’ dictatorship and Portuguese colonial roots. Emerson Maione and Renan Quinalha explore how Rao’s elaborations of homonationalism, homocapitalism, homoromanticism and ‘pink-washing’ more generally travel in new contexts and how the ‘fetishization of law’ can mislead investigations of queer-, homo- and transphobias.Forum on Rahul Rao’s <i>Out of Time</i>, Part III: Hopeful Lines? – Method and Style10.1590/S0102-8529.20234503e202100682024-01-23T19:59:08.415000Z2020-08-09T06:48:26.758000ZKhalili, LalehChamon, Paulo

Abstract In this Forum, six scholars reflect on Rahul Rao’s recent book Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality from other geographies, themes and radical possibilities. Part III explores the way Out of Time traces out its argument, focusing especially on Rao’s meaning-making, the care by which he makes distinctions and ambiguities, and the intimacy of his prose. In the first section, Laleh Khalili shows that generosity is key to the book’s method and style. Khalili takes Rao’s brief treatment of Freddie Mercury as emblematic of how Out of Time dwells in ambivalences and thematic echoes across its chapters. Chamon shows how disorientation remains a central question of the book, ‘but not only,’ since Rao also finds key ways to orient politics at the same time. In the second section, Chamon sensitively explores how Rao tries simultaneously to hold together multiple temporalities and permanences, mutations and grammars, and conviviality and oppositionality—all in order to understand how Rao’s lines of prose, first lines and last lines, exist in productive tension with the sovereign lines that make international politics possible.Forum on Rahul Rao’s <i>Out of Time</i>, Part II: Rethinking Homonationalisms10.1590/S0102-8529.20234503e202200072024-01-23T19:59:08.415000Z2020-08-09T06:48:26.758000ZPuar, JasbirDeylami, Shirin

Abstract In this Forum, six scholars reflect on Rahul Rao’s recent book Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality from other geographies, themes and radical possibilities. Part II explores the analytic of homonationalism in dialogue with Rao’s Out of Time. Jasbir Puar, who coined the term in an earlier path-breaking work, thinks with and against Rao’s book on the relations between homonationalism and what Rao called homocapitalism. Puar also explores how the caste-gender politics of Radical Sikhi during the Farmers’ Protests in India (2020-2021) can serve as an alternative source of inspiration, companion to the queer and trans Dalits of Rao’s book. Shirin Deylami reflects on Rao’s work by exploring the disoriented grammars of the Iranian Islamic state. Specifically, Deylami analyses the way in which the discourse of westoxification has influenced and challenged the divergent state responses to transgender claims for care versus gay and lesbian rights claims.
