Toda história de vida tem valor e potência. Um lugar de encontro, em que nos percebemos e encontramos. É isso o que 46 pessoas, homens e mulheres, contam aqui. Como ponto em comum, todos vivenciam algum tipo de dor causada por uma doença que ameaça a continuidade de suas vidas. Gente que se encontra sob "Cuidados Paliativos" expressão que por muito tempo gerou tabu e desconforto em quem não compreendia a extensão desse cuidado. Todos aqueles que enfrentam os desafios impostos por uma doença grave precisam ser tratados em todas as suas dimensões de sofrimento: físico, emocional, espiritual, social e familiar. Nenhuma dor deveria ser normalizada ou negligenciada. Basta um olhar aten...
This book explores the idea of a childlike education and offers critical tools to question traditional forms of education, and alternative ways to understand and practice the relationship between education and childhood. Engaging with the work of Michel Foucault, Jacques Rancière, Giorgio Agamben and Simón Rodríguez, it contributes to the development of a philosophical framework for the pedagogical idea at the core of the book, that of a childlike education. Divided into two parts, the book introduces innovative ideas through philosophical argument and discussion, challenging existing understandings of what it means to teach or to form a child, and putting into question the idea of educat...
Cuidar de quem cuida ainda não é prática comum em nosso sistema de saúde. Na maioria das vezes, todos os olhares estão focados no paciente e pouco se sabe sobre as dificuldades e angústias por que passa o responsável por aquele doente. Em outras ocasiões, o próprio especialista ignora suas necessidades, seja por não identificá-las, seja por não querer enfrentá-las. É isso que faz da iniciativa "Cuidando de quem cuida" um movimento tão pioneiro. Ao identificar o profissional e o cuidador em geral como alguém que também precisa receber cuidados, o projeto não só procura conscientizar sobre a importância e as formas de se promover um melhor autocuidado. Ele também dá início a uma saudável discussão sobre a necessidade de pensarmos em maneiras mais específicas de cuidar daqueles que cuidam de nossos pacientes. Algumas das experiências vividas e parte do conhecimento compartilhado nesse projeto você vai encontrar nas páginas deste livro, pensado e organizado com carinho por todos os envolvidos no "Cuidando de quem cuida". Este é o volume 1 de "Cuidando de quem cuida", revisto e com novo prefácio.
This volume aims to contribute to the contemporary debate on the history of monarchy. The images of the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese crowns in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are interpreted in accordance with classic historiographical interpretations and new methodological frontiers: roles, gender, interpretation; place, heritage and representation.

Matters related to sustainable development, albeit global in nature, are best handled at the local level. This line of thinking is particularly true to the higher education context, where the design and implementation of sustainability initiatives on campuses can demonstrate how a given university translates the principles of sustainable development into practice, at the institutional level. Yet, there is a paucity of specific events where a dialogue among sustainability academics and practitioners concerned with a) research, projects b) teaching and c) planning and infra-structure leading to campus greening takes place, so as to allow a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral exchange of ideas...
Brazilian Literature as World Literature is not only an introduction to Brazilian literature but also a study of the connections between Brazil's literary production and that of the rest of the world, particularly European and North American literatures. It highlights the tension that has always existed in Brazilian literature between the imitation of European models and forms and a yearning for a tradition of its own, as well as the attempts by modernist writers to propose possible solutions, such as aesthetic cannibalism, to overcome this tension.
The volume scrutinizes the fundamentally uneven character of industrial production and working class formation by bringing together anthropologists specializing on industrial labour in various locations from South America, Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, and South Asia. Through their engagement with Leon Trotsky’s concept of ‘uneven and combined development’ the authors unravel the complex relations that connect (and disconnect) labour in their sites of research with workers in other places and other times. As the contributions likewise reveal, the unevenness and combination inherent in industrial developments shape and are at the same time also shaped by the different politics workers in an unequal world pursue, as well as the historical experiences and future expectations of workers that inform these. With the attention the authors pay to the specificities of ethnographic detail as well as to broader regional and global developments the volume demonstrates the value of long-term ethnographic research and is of interest to a wide audience ranging from specialists in the fields of anthropology, history, sociology and development studies to students and activists.
