Saber-se Corpo. Ensaios sobre Desporto, Cinema e Motricidade
O problema da complexidade do fenómeno humano é o cerne do pensamento de Manuel Sérgio. O filósofo encontrou na Motricidade Humana o impulso para propor uma gramática para essa complexidade. Saber-se corpo, reconhecer- se como identidade corpórea é o motor da tomada de consciência de que o ser humano é sujeito da história. Dividido em duas partes, o presente volume traz-nos ensaios sobre a vida motrícia, o deporto e a transcendência, e sobre cinema e culturas desportivas, a partir de quatro objetos fílmicos.
Breve Tratado das Virtudes Desportivas
As virtudes podem ser vistas como valores morais em ato singulares como cada um de nós, plurais como as limitações que visam superar. Reconhecendo que as virtudes não são atributo exclusivo do desporto, toma-se a prática desportiva como um laboratório do humano inacabado, na busca de superação, realizando-se no desejo de dar o melhor de si. Na esteira da perspetiva humanista de Manuel Sérgio, descobre-se aí um lugar instigante para a arte e a ciência da virtude.

Metamorphoses
Poetry. Translated from the Portuguese by Francisco C. Fagundes and James Houlihan. Jorge de Sena (1919-1978), widely regarded as the foremost Portuguese poet and man of letters since the Second World War, authored about a hundred books, including over a dozen volumes of poetry and numerous translations of poets like Dickinson and Cavafy, during his life as a civil engineer in Portugal and, beginning in 1959, as a writer-in-exile in Brazil and the United States, where at the time of his death he headed the Comparative Literature Program at the University of California at Santa Barbara. This first English translation of his 1963 masterpiece establishes him as one of the greatest world poets o...

The Making of an Enterprise
Based on more than two decades of research conducted on five continents, this monumental work focuses on the activities of members of the Society of Jesus from its foundation to the eve of its expulsion from the Portuguese world. A second volume will examine the Orders expulsion, the fate of its members, and the disposition of its assets in Portugal and her empire from 1750 to 1808. The present volume begins with the Societys introduction to Portugal and traces its expansion throughout what the Society defined as the Portuguese Assistancy, a vast complex of administrative units that included the kingdom of Portugal and her empire plus portions of the Indian subcontinent, Japan, China, th...
Panic and Mourning
‘Panic’ and ‘mourning’ are two pivotal constructs that often emerge and interplay under circumstances of conflict, violence, crisis, and catastrophe, both natural and man-made. Whereas panic tends to crop up during the experience of violent events, mourning, on the other hand, relates to the aftermath of a brutal disruption and to the way humans try to make sense of it retrospectively. Conversely, violent events can leave a thread of panic in their aftermath, while mourning can be unsettled, interrupted or even refuelled by another catastrophic incident. From an international and inter-disciplinary outlook, this volume wishes to address questions at the interface of panic and mournin...
The Poor in Western Europe in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.
