The postmodern interstices within modernity: interpreting the historical controversy
2010
Será que existe algo como um postura pós-moderna? Propomo-nos reflectir sobre a postura cultural que está por trás da teoria pós-moderna. Se nos debruçarmos sobre os fundadores desse movimento, percebemos a que ponto a divisão moderno/pós-moderno constitui, de alguma forma, uma dicotomia artificial. Para além dos aspectos descritivos das mudanças sociais envolvidas no pós-modernismo, olhamos para a intenção originária que orienta os autores pós-modernos. A análise desses fundamentos permite-nos penetrar de forma relevante na própria ideia pós-moderna. A novidade pode ser realmente encontrada na postura reflexiva que caracteriza o pós-modernismo na sua conexão interna com a modernidade. Por …

The file on operation “Priboi”: A re-assessment of the mass deportations of 1949
2002
Abstract Using information from documents found in the Russian State Military Archives, this article discusses the organization and execution of the Soviet mass deportations from the Baltic States in March 1949 — code-named Operation “Priboi” by the USSR MVD. These findings are presented for the first time in English, in the context both of established historiographical interpretations and recent literature on the deportations. The aim is to encourage a scholarly reassessment of Operation “Priboi” as a crime against humanity perpetrated by the Soviet occupation regime, but supported by indigenous collaborators to a far greater degree than previously assumed.
Afterword: Brokerage as social practice
2021
This afterword argues for a narrow and analytically strong concept of brokerage, which is oriented towards the classical definition by Boissevain. His ideal type emphasises the agency of brokers who actively pursue their own interests and act at an equal distance to the groups between which they mediate. Furthermore, the text argues for thinking of brokerage as a bundle of social practices instead of as brokers in the sense of a social type. While few social actors are fully-fledged brokers, many of them engage in brokerage.
