Digital Pirates
Digital Pirates examines the unauthorized creation, distribution, and consumption of movies and music in Brazil. Alexander Sebastian Dent offers a new definition of piracy as indispensable to current capitalism alongside increasing global enforcement of intellectual property (IP). Complex and capricious laws might prohibit it, but piracy remains a core activity of the twenty-first century. Combining the tools of linguistic and cultural anthropology with models from media studies and political economy, Digital Pirates reveals how the dynamics of IP and piracy serve as strategies for managing the gaps between texts—in this case, digital content. Dent's analysis includes his fieldwork in and ...
Freedom of the Press 2008
Freedom House's annual press freedom index, now covering 195 countries and territories, has tracked trends in media freedom worldwide since 1980.

O que resta da ditadura
Bem lembrada na frase que serve de epígrafe ao livro, a importância do passado no processo histórico que determinará o porvir de uma nação é justamente o que torna fundamental esta obra. Organizada por Edson Teles e Vladimir Safatle, O que resta da ditadura reúne uma série de ensaios que esquadrinham o legado deixado pelo regime militar na estrutura jurídica, nas práticas políticas, na literatura, na violência institucionalizada e em outras esferas da vida social brasileira. Fruto de um seminário realizado na Universidade de São Paulo (USP), em 2008, o livro reúne textos de escritores e intelectuais como Maria Rita Kehl, Jaime Ginzburg, Paulo Arantes, Ricardo Lísias e Jeanne...
Attacks on the Press in 2007
On the streets of Rangoon, Burmese troops gun down a photographer documenting public protests. In homes across Venezuela, the nation's oldest television station goes dark after the president pulls the broadcaster's license. Throughout the Horn of Africa, journalists flee in record numbers because of threats and harassment. And in a Moscow courtyard, the lifeless body of an investigative reporter is found under mysterious circumstances. Attacks on the Press in 2007 recounts hundreds of threats to the news media and explores the trends underlying the news. International pressure has spurred improvements in nations such as China, where the government has eased media restrictions for the 2008 Olympics. But the erosion of U.S. influence in Latin America has led to setbacks for press freedom, and impunity in journalist murders remains a pervasive problem in nations from Russia to the Philippines.Compiled annually by the Committee to Protect Journalists, an independent, nonprofit organization, Attacks on the Press is the most authoritative reference guide to press freedom worldwide, providing factual and unbiased analyses of media conditions in 120 nations.
Strategien Zur Durchsetzung der Völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtung Zur Strafverfolgung der Folter Am Beispiel Brasiliens
Hauptbeschreibung In seinem im Jahre 2001 veröffentlichten Landesbericht stellt der UN-Sonderberichterstatter für Folter, Sir Nigel Rodley, in aller Deutlichkeit fest, dass in Brasilien ""Folter und ähnliche Misshandlungen auf ausgedehnte und systematische Weise in den meisten Teilen des Landes verübt werden"". Diesem Befund zufolge ist Brasilien die gravierende Verletzung einer der grundlegendsten Verbürgungen des internationalen Menschenrechtsschutzes vorzuwerfen. Vorliegende Arbeit vollzieht nach, warum dieser Vorwurf gerechtfertigt ist, und fragt danach, welche Rechtsfolgen er f.

Repórteres e reportagens no jornalismo brasileiro
No final do século XIX surge na imprensa brasileira um importante personagem - o repórter. Desde então, povoa as páginas dos periódicos e nossa imaginação com histórias recolhidas em um Brasil tão plural. Em Repórteres e reportagens a antropóloga Candice Vidal e Souza descreve o processo de construção que sedimentou a imagem e o papel do repórter como esse grande aventureiro que "descobre" o Brasil para seu leitor.
