Peixe-elétrico #09
O grande engodo – Marcos Nobre O cientista político pensa a chegada da extrema-direita no mundo e no Brasil, os impasses das ciências humanas para entender a realidade atual, o esvaziamento da ideia de futuro e o papel das lutas identitárias em cenário de esgotamento democrático. Olhar como construir – Agnaldo Farias e Tuca Vieira O crítico e professor da FAU analisa o ensaio fotográfico Dead End, de Tuca Vieira, que ilustra esta edição da revista. Gentrificação e arquitetura são os termos principais do jogo do olhar entre o dado e o construído.

The Killing Consensus
We hold many assumptions about police workÑthat it is the responsibility of the state, or that police officers are given the right to kill in the name of public safety or self-defense. But in The Killing Consensus, Graham Denyer Willis shows how in S‹o Paulo, Brazil, killing and the arbitration of ÒnormalÓ killing in the name of social order are actually conducted by two groupsÑthe police and organized crimeÑboth operating according to parallel logics of murder. Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, Willis's book traces how homicide detectives categorize two types of killing: the first resulting from ÒresistanceÓ to police arrest (which is often broadly defined) and the se...
Greening Brazil
Greening Brazil challenges the claim that environmentalism came to Brazil from abroad. Two political scientists, Kathryn Hochstetler and Margaret E. Keck, retell the story of environmentalism in Brazil from the inside out, analyzing the extensive efforts within the country to save its natural environment, and the interplay of those efforts with transnational environmentalism. The authors trace Brazil’s complex environmental politics as they have unfolded over time, from their mid-twentieth-century conservationist beginnings to the contemporary development of a distinctive socio-environmentalism meant to address ecological destruction and social injustice simultaneously. Hochstetler and Kec...
Natural Gas Conversion
These proceedings reflect the extensive fundamental and applied research efforts that are currently being made on the conversion of gas, in particular on the direct conversion of methane. The Symposium in Oslo focused on the following topics: Direct conversion of methane, Fischer-Tropsch chemistry, methanol conversion and natural gas conversion processes. The main aim was to present the state-of-the-art and progress currently being made within each of these areas. The book contains the papers presented and includes plenary lectures, short communications and posters. The papers will be of interest to scientists and engineers working in the field of gas conversion, transportation fuels, primary petrochemicals and catalysis.
Peixe-elétrico Plataforma da nova geração
Peixe-elétrico – Plataforma da nova geração é um convite ao pensamento aberto, crítico e inconformista. Vinte intelectuais da nova geração enfrentam a difícil tarefa de pensar o Brasil contemporâneo. Inspirados no famoso livro Plataforma da nova geração de 1945, que teve entre seus convidados Antonio Candido e Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes, Peixe-elétrico enviou as seguintes questões, com o intuito de fornecer alguns caminhos para os textos de nossos convidados: Como entende o lugar do Brasil no mundo hoje? O que pensa das chamadas Jornadas de Junho de 2013? Como define o governo Bolsonaro? Acredita haver uma marca geracional que atravessa a sua produção? Qual seria? Como você definiria a sua geração? É possível identificar um sentimento principal que atravessa as suas reflexões? Diferente do livro original, por geração nos aproximamos do conceito de outsider – intelectuais que começam agora, independente da idade, a ganhar voz no meio acadêmico ou a encontrar seu espaço nas mídias. E no lugar de uma plataforma bem organizada, buscamos a contradição entre os textos aqui apresentados.

Dissenting Traditions
The work of Bryan D. Palmer, one of North America’s leading historians, has influenced the fields of labour history, social history, discourse analysis, communist history, and Canadian history, as well as the theoretical frameworks surrounding them. Palmer’s work reveals a life dedicated to dissent and the difficult task of imagining alternatives by understanding the past in all of its contradictions, victories, and failures. Dissenting Traditions gathers Palmer’s contemporaries, students, and sometimes critics to examine and expand on the topics and themes that have defined Palmer’s career, from labour history to Marxism and communist politics. Paying attention to Palmer’s partici...
A Theory of Legal Argumentation
What is to be understood by 'rational legal argument'? To what extent can legal reasoning be rational? Is the demand for rationality in legal affairs justified? And what are the criteria of rationality in legal reasoning? The answer to these questions is not only of interest to legal theorists and philosophers of law. They are pressing issues for practicing lawyers, and a matter of concern for every citizen active in the public arena. Not only the standing of academic law as a scientific discipline, but also the legitimacy of judicial decisions depends on the possibility of rational legal argumentation. A theory of legal reasoning which tries to answer these questions pre-supposes a theory of general practical reasoning. This theory is the subject matter of the first two parts of the book. The result is a theory of general practical discourse which rests on insights of both Anglo-Saxon and German philosophy. It forms the basis of the theory of rational legal discourse, which is developed in the third part of this book.
Green Corrosion Inhibitors
A book to cover developments in corrosion inhibitors is long overdue. This has been addressed by Dr Sastri in a book which presents fundamental aspects of corrosion inhibition, historical developments and the industrial applications of inhibitors. The book deals with the electrochemical principles and chemical aspects of corrosion inhibition, such as stability of metal complexes, the Hammett equation, hard and soft acid and base principle, quantum chemical aspects and Hansch' s model and also with the various surface analysis techniques, e.g. XPS, Auger, SIMS and Raman spectroscopy, that are used in industry for corrosion inhibition. The applications of corrosion inhibition are wide ranging. Examples given in this book include: oil and gas wells, petrochemical plants, steel reinforced cement, water cooling systems, and many more. The final chapters discuss economic and environmental considerations which are now of prime importance. The book is written for researchers in academia and industry, practicing corrosion engineers and students of materials science, engineering and applied chemistry.
