A coletânea assume o desafio de debater uma questão fulcral da civilização ocidental: os sustentáculos de uma moral cristã transplantada, dirigida ao mesmo tempo aos cuidados com o corpo e à saúde da alma, e que de una se faz múltipla ao avançar por territórios diversos e ao longo do tempo. Os capítulos reunidos adentram a seara dos códigos de comportamento, dos juízos moralizantes envolvendo povos desconhecidos e das práticas e instituições de provisão de cura e de aprimoramento das condutas. Dividido em três partes, o livro alicerça-se em torno de três ações que organizam o universo da moralidade entre o velho e o novo mundo: pensar, ver e corrigir.

The Phoenicians created the Mediterranean world as we know it-yet they remain a poorly understood group. In this Handbook, the first of its kind in English, readers will find expert essays covering the history, culture, and areas of settlement throughout the Phoenician and Punic world.
Modern perceptions of race across much of the Global South are indebted to the Brazilian social scientist Gilberto Freyre, who in works such as The Masters and the Slaves claimed that Portuguese colonialism produced exceptionally benign and tolerant race relations. This volume radically reinterprets Freyre’s Luso-tropicalist arguments and critically engages with the historical complexity of racial concepts and practices in the Portuguese-speaking world. Encompassing Brazil as well as Portuguese-speaking societies in Africa, Asia, and even Portugal itself, it places an interdisciplinary group of scholars in conversation to challenge the conventional understanding of twentieth-century racialization, proffering new insights into such controversial topics as human plasticity, racial amalgamation, and the tropes and proxies of whiteness.
Há mais de dois anos, o mundo enfrenta o desafio de reaprender a viver, num processo de adaptação à virtualidade. Uma transformação que, para diversos cientistas da comunicação, acelerou o processo de virtualização dos seres humanos e de suas relações para com o outro e, obviamente, com os meios de comunicação. Sem dúvida, testemunhamos uma reconfiguração do ecossistema midiático. Com esse tema norteador às conferências, realizamos o 5º Congresso Internacional Media Ecology and Image Studies – MEISTUDIES, que contou com o tema “A virtualização do novo ecossistema midiático”. O evento também foi marcado pela realização paralela do VI Seminário Internacional R...
