Latin American Heritage
Focusing on Brazil, this book approaches the term “heritage” from not only a historical and architectural point of view, but also considers its artistic, archaeological, natural, ethnological and industrial aspects. The book is divided into four thematic sections – 1) traditions and intangible heritage, 2) archaeological heritage, 3) natural heritage and landscapes, and 4) heritage of industrial and built environments – and presents chapters on a diverse range of topics, from samba and cultural identities in Rio de Janeiro, to the history of Brazilian archaeology, the value of scenic landscapes in Brazil, and the cultural landscape of Brazil. As an outcome of the First Heritage International Symposium, this unique book explores a variety of heritage dialogues, pursuing global and specific approaches, and combining different views, perceptions and senses.
Consuming the Environment
Consuming the Environment explores the environmental impacts of consuming everyday products and explains how we can consume more sustainably. Written in an accessible style, this book begins with our everyday mundane experiences of consuming products – online, in the grocery store, at the mall – and shows how these practices are connected to a global system dependent upon ever increasing consumption. Drawing on the expertise of researchers in topics such as energy, food, water, land, fashion, electronics, eco-tourism, green products, and (micro)plastics, this volume unpacks the complex and largely invisible relationships that consumerism has with resource extraction and manufacturing.

Power and Horizontality in South-South Development Cooperation. The Case of Brazil and Mozambique
The growing importance of new actors in the global political landscape is envisaged as a phenomenon that has led to shifts in international power relations. This is reflected in development cooperation. Countries like China, Brazil, India and South Africa have enhanced their cooperation programs and present their development cooperation as South-South Development cooperation (SSDC) which takes place between countries of the 'Global South'. Both practitioners and scholars ascribe a notion of solidarity and horizontality to South-South cooperation that allegedly distinguishes it from the relationship patterns commonly associated with North-South relations. However, power constellations between...
Geopolítica e Relações Internacionais: Agendas de Segurança e Defesa
Os convergentes modos de se explorar a realidade quando apreendidos por divergentes epistemes existentes entre os estudos Geopolíticos e de Relações Internacionais oportunizam um momento ímpar para o desenvolvimento de diferenciadas análises e interpretações sobre os fenômenos, sendo este o ponto de partida do presente livro aos focar temas contemporâneos. Partindo da centralidade que os campos de poder geopolíticos e das dinâmicas internacionais possuem na realidade empírica das relações humanas e das nações, o presente livro, “Geopolítica e Relações Internacionais: Agendas de Segurança e Defesa”, esta obra apresenta um conjunto de reflexões produzidas por um seleto...
Metaphor and Mills
While the role of metaphor in economics and business has produced multiple research articles, no comprehensive book-length study has yet appeared. The present book is a timely attempt to fill this gap, giving a global coverage of the role of metaphor in business and economics. It spans time (from Classical Greece to the current business network meeting-room), space (from Europe through the Americas to Asia), cultures and languages (from continental European languages, Brazilian Portuguese to Chinese). The theoretical grounding of the book is the Conceptual Theory of Metaphor taken in a dynamic sense as evolving with on-going research. The theory is thus used, adapted and refined in accordance with the evidence provided. Metaphor is shown to be theory constitutive in the elaboration of economic thinking down through the ages while, at the same time, the emphasis on evidence open to historical, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic considerations align with the current notion of situatedness. The book is a rich source of information for researchers and students in the fields of Metaphor Studies, Economics, Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies, among others.
Dependência e Governos do PT
O livro Dependência e governos do PT tem como temáticas centrais a teoria da dependência, nas suas duas vertentes principais e, notadamente, a problemática do Estado dependente. No interior dessa abordagem teórica, sublinha-se a pertinência do método proposto pelos expoentes da teoria da dependência. Já a caracterização da etapa atual da dependência vem acompanhada da análise dos dois momentos constitutivos desta fase no Brasil. Como discutir dependência é ao mesmo tempo pensar o desenvolvimento, essa reflexão perpassa este livro, centrado nos governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores. Os últimos capítulos são sobre os governos Lula e Dilma, sobre dependência e desenvolvimento neste início de século.
South-North Dialogues on Democracy, Development and Sustainability
This book shows how bringing together experts from the Global South and the Global North can help us to understand and combat global economic, political, and social inequalities. For too long, the world’s problems have been viewed through the narrow conceptual lenses of the Global North. This book lays the groundwork for a new approach – a truly global approach to political economy. We are currently facing multiple and overlapping international crises. The current economic crisis, characterized by deepening inequalities, is closely intertwined with intensifying geopolitical rivalries and the environmental crisis. The dialogues in this book aim to move beyond the Eurocentric tradition and...
Plaza del mundo
La quatrième de couverture indique : "Este manual de historia de Brasil, el primero escrito en nuestro país por un autor español, pretende ser una aproximación desenfadada, pero no acientífica, a la historia del país más grande y poderoso de Iberoamérica, una nación que no habla español y que constituye una excepción en el rico mosaico de países de tradición hispana. Con más de 200 millones de habitantes Brasil aparece como una potencia emergente donde las empresas españolas tienen una presencia muy destacada, pero que resulta un gran desconocido para nosotros, para quienes siguen presentes estereotipos varios como palmeras, playas, mulatas, samba y fútbol. Es por eso que el ...
