“…A partir deste momento, cabe dialogar com outros estudos sobre a IURD em Moçambique -os estudos de Serra (2003), de Cruz e Silva (2003), de Freston (2005), de Gaspar (2006) e de Van de Kamp (2011;. Guardando as devidas especificidades de cada estudo, é possível dizer que todos eles enfatizam os diálogos da IURD com outras práticas religiosas, por um lado, e o contexto político, social e econômico moçambicano como propício para o desenvolvimento da IURD, por outro lado.…”

O artigo apresenta a análise de discursos e práticas da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) no sul de Moçambique e problematiza os diálogos dessa igreja com aspectos de diferentes contextos religiosos, principalmente os contextos das práticas religiosas “tradicionais” e das práticas das igrejas ziones. Alguns elementos foram destacados: as menções à “tradição”; o reconhecimento e a apropriação da linguagem, das cosmologias e das noções locais do mal; o fenômeno da possessão e do exorcismo; o fenômeno do sacrifício; o papel e o desempenho dos pastores e dos bispos; e os diagnósticos e os tratamentos prescritos aos fiéis. Buscou-se dialogar com estudos sobre a IURD em Moçambique e com estudos antropológicos sobre os pentecostalismos em contextos africanos. A hipótese defendida aponta que o pentecostalismo da IURD se distingue de outros pentecostalismos presentes em contextos africanos e, também, que diversas ideias e práticas dos contextos religiosos “tradicionais” e ziones criaram e criam condições para que os discursos e as práticas da IURD sejam relevantes, eficazes e significativos no sul de Moçambique.

In Guinea-Bissau, Portuguese is the only official language, and, for historical and sociopolitical reasons, European Portuguese (EP) is assumed as the variety spoken. However, we find a multilingual space in which Kriol is the national unity language and Portuguese is spoken as a second language. In this context, we analyzed the intonation of neutral yes-no questions of Guinea-Bissau Portuguese (GBP), to examine whether the intonation of this sentence type resembles that found SEP (spoken in Lisbon) or whether we are facing a Guinea-Bissau Portuguese variety in formation. Using the theoretical framework of Prosodic Phonology and Intonational Phonology, we analyzed neutral yes-no questions produced through a reading task performed by four Guinea-Bissau participants, native speakers of Kriol, and speakers of Portuguese as a second language. Our results show that, for the pre-nuclear and nuclear contour as well as tonal density, the intonation of GBP neutral yes-no questions differs from SEP and is closer to Brazilian and African varieties already studied. This outcome was previously pointed out in the literature for declarative sentences, suggesting that GBP is developing its own intonational grammar.

While the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) has significantly contributed to educational research supporting inclusive initiatives worldwide, its application in special education contexts across the African continent remains unclear. This study aims to explore how the ICF is currently used in the field of education in Africa, with an emphasis on children with disabilities, although not restricted to this group. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) diagram shows that the 11 African-specific databases that were searched yielded 256 records. These records were uploaded to Rayyan, an online collaborative review platform. First, 158 duplicates were removed. Following title and abstract level screening, six records were eligible at full-text level, of which four were excluded, as they focused on the health context. The findings from the remaining two studies were compared and discussed in terms of similarities and differences. Both articles addressed the interactive nature between an individual’s activities and participation and environmental factors, agreeing on the importance of addressing societal barriers to inclusion. The use of the ICF in educational settings across Africa is still scarce, thus requiring strategies that could drive inclusive education for children with disabilities on the African continent.
