Boaventura de Sousa Santos (meu antigo professor) condecorado pelo Governo Brasileiro
O sociólogo português Boaventura de Sousa Santos, director do Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra, foi condecorado pelo Governo Brasileiro com a Gran-Cruz da Ordem do Mérito Cultural de 2009.
Criada em 1995, esta é a mais alta comenda do Governo Brasileiro atribuída a personalidades e instituições que se destacam pelas suas contribuições à Cultura brasileira e mundial.
Ao longo de 14 anos, a Ordem do Mérito Cultural foi atribuída a várias personalidades de renome brasileiras e estrangeiras, entre elas destacam-se o escritor Jorge Amado, o arquitecto Óscar Niemeyer, Roberto Marinho, fundador da TV Globo e Carlos Lopes, actual Director-Geral da UNITAR.
Além de Boaventura de Sousa Santos, a comenda foi também atribuída em edições anteriores a destacadas personalidades da cultura portuguesa, entre elas Agostinho da Silva, filósofo falecido em 1994 e Maria João Bustorff, ex-Ministra da Cultura.
Na sua actividade enquanto sociólogo, Boaventura de Sousa Santos tem vindo a trabalhar de muito perto com várias instituições académicas e estatais brasileiras.
Entre as colaborações mais recentes destaca-se a que junta o Observatório Permanente da Justiça Portuguesa, sediado no CES e coordenado por Boaventura, e o Ministério da Justiça Brasileira, com vista à criação de um Observatório da Justiça no Brasil.
A parceria entre o CES e a Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais contribuiu para a criação do CES-América Latina, instituição científica inspirada no modelo do CES-Coimbra, e para o estabelecimento do primeiro doutoramento internacional do CES.
Boaventura tem sido também um dos principais promotores e participantes do Fórum Social Mundial, cuja edição inaugural foi realizada em Porto Alegre, Brasil em 2001.
A condecoração será entregue pelo Presidente Lula da Silva no dia 25 de Novembro de 2009 no Rio de Janeiro.
