O historiador Adolfo Veiller Souza Henriques analisa os discursos pedagógicos sobre a aids publicados no jornal Nós Por Exemplo no período de 1991 a 1995. As notícias publicadas no referido jornal continham orientações para os leitores acerca do sexo seguro, como também informações sobre a doença. Esses discursos se configuravam como práticas educativas a partir do momento em que buscavam promover entre os leitores do jornal hábitos higiênicos pautados pelo saber médico a respeito do tema. Para tanto, inspirado nos modos de fazer história possibilitados pela História Cultural, o autor se apropria dos conceitos de "biopolítica" de Michel Foucault (1988), de "sensibilidades" a...
A imprensa é um tema de estudo bastante relevante para as Ciências Humanas e Sociais, como também para a produção historiográfica. A temática não apenas se mantém, mas vem se ampliando e se diversificando devido às novas formas de se caracterizar e se registrar, nos vários meios de comunicação, questões que envolvem a comunidade local ou global. "Tecituras das Cidades. História, Memória e Imprensa" é a sétima publicação da coletânea "Tecituras das Cidades", do Núcleo de Estudos de História Social da Cidade, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, fundado pela Profa. Dra. Yvone Dias Avelino há mais de 30 anos. A temática Cidade sempre foi objeto dos integrantes desse núcleo de pesquisas, cujos interesses foram se ampliando e se diversificando, com olhares para seus sujeitos, seus espaços, suas instituições e linguagens.
ñI tell you, God could care less about the poor. Tell me, why must we live here like this? What have we done to deserve this? YouÍre so good and yet you suffer so much,î a young boy tells his mother in Tomàs RiveraÍs classic novel about the migrant worker experience.

The young boy canÍt understand his parentsÍ faith in a god that would impose such horrible suffering, poverty and injustice on innocent people. Adapted into the award-winning film and the earth did not swallow him and recipient of the first award for Chicano literature...
'The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relative to one's desire' Jacques Lacan. Is psychoanalysis dead or are we to read frequent attacks on its theoretical 'mistakes' and clinical 'frauds' as a proof of its vitality? Slavoj Zizek's passionate defence of Lacan reasserts the ethical urgency of psychoanalysis. Traditionally, psychoanalysis was expected to allow the patient to overcome the obstacles which prevented access to 'normal' sexual enjoyment. Today, however, we are bombarded from all sides by different versions of the injunction 'Enjoy!' Lacan reminds us that psychoanalysis is the only discourse in which you are allowed not to enjoy. Since for Lacan psychoanalysis itself is a procedure of reading, each chapter uses a passage from Lacan as a tool to interpret another text from philosophy, art or popular ideology, applying his ideas to Hegel and Hitchcock, Shakespeare and Dostoevsky.

Attractively illustrated with over a hundred halftones and drawings, this volume presents a series of vibrant profiles that trace the evolution of our knowledge about the brain. Beginning almost 5000 years ago, with the ancient Egyptian study of "the marrow of the skull," Stanley Finger takes us on a fascinating journey from the classical world of Hippocrates, to the time of Descartes and the era of Broca and Ramon y Cajal, to modern researchers such as Sperry. Here is a truly remarkable cast of characters. We meet Galen, a man of titanic ego and abrasive disposition, whose teachings dominated medicine for a thousand years; Vesalius, a contemporary of Copernicus, who pushed our understanding...
The move to manage medicine from a financial perspective, i.e. managed care, has added huge layers of bureaucratic and administrative functions to healthcare. The need to have the ability to track patient medical records, mandated by government legislation such as HIPAA, is bringing new technologies and processes into the healthcare arena. A univer
