    Racism in Brazil: Inequality in Educational Opportunities and Social Mobility
    • Der Essay bietet eine umfassende Analyse der Rassenbeziehungen in Brasilien, mit einem besonderen Fokus auf die Ungleichheit der Chancen zwischen weißen und nicht-weißen Bevölkerungsgruppen. Er untersucht, wie Klassen- und Rassendiskriminierung die sozialen Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten beeinflussen. Trotz zahlreicher Beiträge von Wissenschaftlern bleibt das Thema komplex und umstritten, insbesondere im Kontext des aktuellen wirtschaftlichen Wachstums, das die gesellschaftliche Stratifikation verstärkt. Der Text beleuchtet die Geschichte der Debatte, den Mythos der Rassendemokratie sowie die afro-brasilianische Bewegung und bietet einen Überblick über quantitative Forschungsergebnisse zu diesem Thema.

      Bio-politics and medical construction of Southeast Asian Immigrant Subjects

      Examining the intersection of biomedicine and immigration, this seminar paper explores how biomedicine serves as a mediator that influences the physical realities of refugees and immigrants while simultaneously being shaped by political and cultural identities. It traces the historical development of the "gaze" as a tool of power and classification, highlighting the concept of cultural citizenship and its effects on immigration and assimilation processes. The paper argues that biomedicine and the experiences of immigrants mutually reinforce each other, impacting nation-state dynamics.
