“…2 If the complexity of childhood is not taken on its own terms, involvement initiatives run the risk of being nothing more than token efforts. In fact, previous studies have argued that active engagement could even perpetuate power dynamics regulated by the interest of a few, while actually restricting children’s agency (Raposo, 2022). At a time in which political participation among young people is decreasing (Weiss, 2020), the risk of epistemic injustice takes on even greater relevance.…”

From vulnerable subjects to research partners: a critical policy analysis of biomedical research ethics guidelines and regulations

Over the last three quarters of a century, international guidelines and regulations have undergone significant changes in how children are problematised as participants in biomedical research. While early guidelines enacted children as vulnerable subjects with diminished autonomy and in need of special protection, beginning in the early 2000s, international regulatory frameworks defined the paediatric population as vulnerable due to unaddressed public health needs. More recently, ethical recommendations have promoted the active engagement of minors as research partners. In this paper, I adopt a post-structuralist approach to policy analysis to examine deep-seated assumptions and presuppositions underlying the changes in the problematisation of children as biomedical research participants over time. While biomedical research ethics focuses on the autonomy and vulnerability of minors, ethical guidelines are situated in specific sociocultural contexts, shaped, among other things, by contingent public health needs and changing conceptions of the value of research and science for society. In the process, I demonstrate the challenge of moving away from an approach that in taking adults as the model overshadows the complexity of children’s lived experiences as well as their personal, cultural, and social lives. The lack of acknowledgement of this complexity makes children vulnerable to epistemic injustice, which is particularly crucial to address in public involvement initiatives.

“…This article concludes with the recommendation that artistic non-formal education can be used as a tool in the social inclusion agenda. Raposo (2022) contributes to this discussion with an article on social inclusion policies for underprivileged youth based on the ethnographic accompaniment of an associative experience promoted by the Choices Programme ("Programa Escolhas") on the outskirts of Lisbon. An important contribution to the topic of social vulnerability among young people, the author questions the limits of citizen participation as a means to stimulate the political engagement of adolescents when participation is tied to individualist ideologies far removed from a "grammar of rights.…”

Understanding Social Inclusion in Contemporary Society: Challenges, Reflections, Limitations, and Proposals

In 2015, the UN approved the 2030 agenda on sustainable development, intending to bridge—and eventually close—the gaps that divide our societies. These 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) are presented as a master plan that covers the most painful global challenges to a knowledgeable and inclusive society. In this thematic issue we look more incisively into goals no. 1 (no poverty), no. 4 (quality of education and inclusive education), no. 10 (reduced inequalities), and no. 11 (sustainable cities and communities) of the agenda. Social inequalities have drastically intensified after the 2008 financial crisis and the period of austerity that followed, especially among the poorest people and in the most vulnerable communities. Nowadays particularly, with the Covid‐19 pandemic, these gaps seem to be growing. Against this background, this thematic issue aims to capture, make visible, understand, and analyze how social actors are organizing themselves and collaborating amongst each other in order to help attenuate and satisfy dramatic emerging social needs and improve living conditions, especially among the most vulnerable social groups, in uncertain times of crisis. We focus particularly on two main thematic blocks: social inclusion axes on the one hand (formal, non‐formal, and informal education, participation, leisure time, and culture) and vulnerable groups on the other (including children, adolescents, youth, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, and migrants). Contributions to this thematic issue offer interesting conceptual, methodological, and empirical approaches to the study of social inclusion and social inclusive experiences in contemporary societies in uncertain times, particularly in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Brazil.

Batida and the politics of sonic agency in Afro-Lisboa

This article examines the politics of sonic agency in batida, the most successful recent electronic musical style emerging from Lisbon's outskirts in Portugal. The genealogies of batida are closely linked to the emergence of a young generation of Djs do Gueto [Ghetto Djs] who unabashedly claim their right of belonging as major players within the Portuguese acoustic and cultural fields. We analyse batida as a space for agency and affirmative mobilisation of Afro-Portuguese populations. Two elements are of special interest: the digital recombination to celebrate the irreducibility of Afro-Portuguese experience, and the way in which racial exclusion, urban segregation, and racism are problematised through the act of inscribing the neighbouring sounds of peripheral neighbourhoods as part of a transnational Afro-Portuguese sonic aesthetic. Through the examination of these two elements, we aim to position sonic agency as a central space in the configuration of racial politics and processes of nation building in the Portuguese case, highlighting the concept's suitability within an expanded postcolonial European framework.
