Breaking chains, building bridges: cooperation in upholding the rights of workers rescued from conditions analogous to slavery in Tocantins
This work is the result of a master’s dissertation, but especially of the author’s concern to understand how, in the 21st century, we are still discussing degrading forms of labour without ever having actually freed ourselves from the chains of slavery experienced in centuries past. The state of Tocantins, as one of the Brazilian states that most often supplies slave labour, as well as importing this form of labour, has repercussions both domestically and internationally, which is why the study was justified. The north of Brazil, where the state of Tocantins is located, is a vast region with low levels of education, where many people live below the poverty line and with little state acti...
A Century of Brazilian Documentary Film
Since the late nineteenth century, Brazilians have turned to documentaries to explain their country to themselves and to the world. In a magisterial history covering one hundred years of cinema, Darlene J. Sadlier identifies Brazilians’ unique contributions to a diverse genre while exploring how that genre has, in turn, contributed to the making and remaking of Brazil. A Century of Brazilian Documentary Film is a comprehensive tour of feature and short films that have charted the social and political story of modern Brazil. The Amazon appears repeatedly and vividly. Sometimes—as in a prize-winning 1922 feature—the rainforest is a galvanizing site of national pride; at other times, the ...
Imagination Beyond Nation
Can scholarly pursuit of soap operas and folk art actually reveal a national imagination? This innovative collection features studies of iconography in Mexico, telenovelas in Venezuela, drama in Chile, cinema in Brazil, comic strips and tango in Argentina, and ceramics in Peru. In examining these popular arts, the scholars gathered here ask the same broad questions: what precisely is a national culture at the level of the popular? The national idea in Latin America emerges from these pages as a problematic, divided one, worth sustained attention in the field of culture studies. Many different arts come forth in all their richness and vitality, compelling us to look, listen, and understand.
The Expediency of Culture
The Expediency of Culture is a pioneering theorization of the changing role of culture in an increasingly globalized world. George Yúdice explores critically how groups ranging from indigenous activists to nation-states to nongovernmental organizations have all come to see culture as a valuable resource to be invested in, contested, and used for varied sociopolitical and economic ends. Through a dazzling series of illustrative studies, Yúdice challenges the Gramscian notion of cultural struggle for hegemony and instead develops an understanding of culture where cultural agency at every level is negotiated within globalized contexts dominated by the active management and administration of c...

O Poder Simbólico do Direito Administrativo
O livro é um permanente diálogo com a obra de Pierre Bourdieu. Maria Andréa Loyola realizou interessante entrevista com o sociólogo, questionando sobre sua passagem da filosofia para a sociologia, cuja resposta de Bourdieu foi de que tal não ocorreu de forma abrupta, mas pouco a pouco, e que a fala da sociologia tem a capacidade de "quebrar a censura do que é oficial, ou melhor, a aparência de unanimidade que favorece os discursos oficiais em situações oficiais". Esse é um pouco o tom da presente obra. A primeira parte do estudo direcionou-se para mergulhar na relação entre Direito Administrativo e o tempo. No intuito de desenvolver tal perspectiva, nada melhor do que debater sob...
