Violence, Gender and Affect
This book presents new conceptual and theoretical approaches to violence studies. As the first research anthology to examine violating interpersonal, institutional and ideological practices as both gendered and affective processes, it raises novel questions and offers insights for understanding and resolving social and cultural problems related to violence and its prevention.

Earth at Risk in the 21st Century: Rethinking Peace, Environment, Gender, and Human, Water, Health, Food, Energy Security, and Migration
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century offers critical interdisciplinary reflections on peace, security, gender relations, migration and the environment, all of which are threatened by climate change, with women and children affected most. Deep-rooted gender discrimination is also a result of the destructive exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of soils, water, biota and air. In the Anthropocene, the management of human society and global resources has become unsustainable and has created multiple conflicts by increasing survival threats primarily for poor people in the Global South. Alternative approaches to peace and security, focusing from bottom-up on an engendered peace with s...
A Brief History of Genetics
Biological inheritance, the passage of key characteristics down the generations, has always held mankind’s fascination. It is fundamental to the breeding of plants and animals with desirable traits. Genetics, the scientific study of inheritance, can be traced back to a particular set of simple but ground-breaking studies carried out 170 years ago. The awareness that numerous diseases are inherited gives this subject considerable medical importance. The progressive advances in genetics now bring us to the point where we have unravelled the entire human genome, and that of many other species. We can intervene very precisely with the genetic make-up of our agricultural crops and animals, and even ourselves. Genetics now enables us to understand cancer and develop novel protein medicines. It has also provided us with DNA fingerprinting for the solving of serious crime. This book explains for a lay readership how, where and when this powerful science emerged.
Os Desafios do Envelhecimento para a Saúde a Economia e a Sociedade
Até 2025, estima-se que mais de 20% dos europeus terão mais de 65 anos. Apesar do aumento da espe-rança de vida, registam-se grandes diferenças entre as nações em relação à qualidade de vida nos últimos cinco a 10 anos de vida de cada pessoa. Em vários países, esses anos são acompanhados por má qualidade de vida, situações adversas associadas a medicamentos e incapacidade causada por doenças crónicas, com consequências que importa conhecer melhor. É a essa tarefa que se entrega este livro. Os seus 11 capítulos dão conta das perspetivas de 20 autores con-ceituados sobre os desafios atuais do envelhecimento, lançando um olhar mais profundo e abrangente sobre as suas implicações para a saúde, a economia e a sociedade
Psiquiatria Social e Cultural
Este livro exprime uma vontade de diálogo e de serviço à comunidade a partir do contributo interdisciplinar do corpo docente do Mestrado em Psiquiatria Social e Cultural da FMUC. Os diferentes textos guardam uma relação com a psiquiatria, a partir de espaços teóricos intrínsecos ou extrínsecos à disciplina, demonstrando que não existe saúde sem saúde mental, e que não existe saúde mental sem os contextos sociais e culturais que a determinam. A partir de uma área do conhecimento tão híbrida como a psiquiatria social e cultural, são abordados temas variados, com contributos não apenas da psiquiatria, mas também da psicologia, sociologia, sexologia, antropologia e teologia. Estes temas relacionam-se direta ou indiretamente com a saúde individual e coletiva, valorizando as dimensões psicológicas, sociais e culturais do mal-estar e do sofrimento.
