Por meio, inicialmente, das biografias dos candidatos a prefeito, de seus principais apoiantes e de outros actores eminentes na localidade, buscou-se descrever e analisar o cenário onde evoluía o referido processo eleitoral. Para tanto, foram também observados os discursos, os programas de rádio, os materiais de propaganda política e os boatos que tomaram o município, ao longo dos quatro meses que antecederam o pleito, ocorrido a três de Outubro daquele ano. Além destes elementos comuns a uma disputa eleitoral, um processo judicial transcorria paralelamente aos embates entre as candidaturas e sobre ele também foi realizado um esforço analítico, de modo a perceber sua relação com o conjunto de normas que regeram aquela eleição e discernir sobre como seu andamento veio a alterar os resultados da mesma. Por fim, são apresentadas possibilidades de desenvolvimentos futuros desta etnografia, tendo em vista o engajamento do autor num curso de doutoramento.; This work is the result of an ethnographic incursion held during the local elections of 2008 in a small municipality in Bahia, Brazil. By initially analyzing the biographies of the mayoral candidates, of their main supporters and other eminent players in the locality, it sought to describe and interpret the scenario in which this electoral process evolved. In order to do so, the speeches, the radio programs, the materials of political propaganda and the rumors that took over the municipality along the four months preceding the election, held on October 3 of that year, were also observed. In addition to the usual elements existing in an electoral dispute, a lawsuit was going on as a backdrop to the clashing candidacies. Efforts were made to analyze this lawsuit in an attempt to perceive how it related to the set of rules that governed that election and discern how its development ended up altering the results of the dispute. At the end, aiming at the author's engagement in a PhD program, possibilities for future developments of this ethnography are introduced.

A justice perception can have unfair consequences for those who are perceived not to be included within the boundaries of fairness. This is what the scope of justice is all about: who is within and who is outside of the “justice boundaries”. This paper intends to clarify the concept and explain how social psychologists work with it in real-life contexts. We argue that the scope of justice is a key concept that helps us to understand a broad range of intergroup conflicts, besides being an understudied phenomenon that motivates a variety of justice-related issues such as deservingness, animal rights, discrimination and environmental conflict. We also discuss and review the relevant literature concerning the psychological and social functions of the scope of justice, highlighting its possible antecedents and consequences. Finally, we outline the current applied research into the role played by processes used to legitimize damaging behaviors against people who are perceived to be outside of the scope of justice. In light of this concept, the “justice is for everyone” maxim should probably be changed to “justice is for those who are not excluded from our boundaries of fairness”.

This article, focused on Maputo, the capital of Mozambique – formerly called Lourenc¸o Marques – argues that in order to understand contemporary social bonds, it is crucial to research the connection between the colonial process of urbanisation and the rise of urban popular cultures. Despite the existence of social discrimination in colonial Lourenc¸o Marques, deeply present in the spatial organisation of a city divided between a ‘concrete’ centre and the immense periphery, the consumption of football, as part of an emergent popular culture, crossed segregation lines. I argue that football narratives, locally appropriated, became the basis of daily social rituals and encounters, an element of urban sociability and the content of increasingly larger social networks. Therefore, the fact that a Portuguese narrative emerged as the dominant form of popular culture is deeply connected to the growth of an urban community.
