Entre Sangue e Resina: Colonização e Devastação Ambiental no Sudoeste do Paraná (1935-1975)
O livro Entre sangue e resina: colonização e devastação ambiental no sudoeste do Paraná (1935-1975) pode ser considerado como uma interface entre a história ambiental e a história social. A região, conhecida por suas florestas com araucárias, passou por um processo de colonização no século XX que trouxe o desmatamento desenfreado, assim como tirou de suas terras os seus ocupantes originários. André Egídio Pin analisa em sua obra esse processo que foi tão doloroso tanto para o meio ambiente como para as populações mais vulneráveis. Observa-se no decorrer da leitura que as interações com a floresta passaram de amigáveis para depredatórias em um curto tempo. Mesmo apresen...
The Structural Conservation of Panel Paintings

Bodycheck
In ice hockey, the term body check refers to a specific move to gain control. It is a blow from body to body, a dynamic clash of physical strength, which will determine the course of the game. In this book, too, the body is checked and there is physical confrontation. Not in the hockey ring, but on stage. This book deals with the body in contemporary (performing) arts. The focus is on exploring theoretical avenues and developing new concepts to grasp corporeal images more accurately. This theoretical research is confronted with the voice of artists whose work explicitly deals with the body. In-depth interviews with a.o. Meg Stuart, Wim Vandekeybus, Romeo Castellucci, Jerôme Bel reveal a very broad range of views on the (re)presentation of the body in today’s performing arts. The combination of these two voices –the theoretician’s and the artist’s -shows that research by artists and cultural scientists is perfectly complementary.
A Companion to the Catholic Enlightenment in Europe
This book offers the first comprehensive overview of the Catholic Enlightenment in Europe. It surveys the diversity of views about the structure and nature of the movement, pointing toward the possibilities for further research. The volume presents a series of comprehensive treatments on the process and interpretation of Catholic Enlightenment in France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, Malta, Italy and the Habsburg territories. An introductory overview explores the varied meanings of Catholic Enlightenment and situates them in a series of intellectual and social contexts. The topics covered in this book are crucial for a proper understanding of the role and place not only of Catholicism in the eighteenth century, but also for the social and religious history of Modern Europe.

Civil Society, Conflicts and the Politicization of Human Rights
This publication explores violence, conflict and peace. It focuses on the non-governmental component in ethno-policitcal conflicts. Civil society actors, or "conflict society organizations" (CoSOs), are increasingly central in view of the complexity of contemporary ethno-political conflicts. CoSOs are key players in ethno-political conflicts, both as violators and as promoters of human rights. Nevertheless, the precise relationships underpinning the human rights-civil society-conflict nexus have not been fully examined. This volume analyses the impact of civil society on ethno-political conflicts through their human rights-related activities, and identifies the means to strengthen the complementarity between civil society and international governmental actors in promoting peace. These aims are addressed in case studies on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Turkey's Kurdish question, and Israel-Palestine.
