A obra Vozes do Pluriverso constitui um experimento coletivo de imaginação-intelectual que reúne sentipensamentos, corazonamentos e sentidos expandidos do que a academia tem chamado decolonialidade. Sua principal contribuição é pensar-refletir sobre práticas educativas decoloniais e antirracistas desde a experiência e em diálogo com vozes, sujeitos e epistêmes frequentemente desperdiçadas nas engrenagens de poder/ser/saber do eurocentrismo. O pluriverso, que dá nome à obra, é consubstanciado na pluralidade de temas, estilos de escrita e loci enunciação das/os autoras/es, posicionados em diversos territórios de aprendizagem: universidade, escola, comunidades quilombolas, retireiras, ribeirinhas, extrativistas e de terreiro. A partir de referenciais acadêmicos, afrodiaspóricos e indígenas, essas intelectualidades formulam sentidos de educar/conhecer/saber enquanto experiências essencialmente colaborativas e, ao mesmo tempo, corpóreas, afetivas, espirituais, estéticas e cognitivas.
This work is a history of the Pacific, the ocean that became a theatre of power and conflict shaped by the politics of Europe and the economic background of Spanish America. There could only be a concept of &�the Pacific once the limits and lineaments of the ocean were set and this was undeniably the work of Europeans. Fifty years after the Conquista, Nueva Espaą and Peru were the bases from which the ocean was turned into virtually a Spanish lake.
The fact that infectious diseases claim over 17 million victims worldwide each year, along with the regular emergence of new drug resistance pathogens, signals that infectious diseases will continue to be a daily concern of the Physician well into the future. This reality requires that today's medical students develop a solid foundation in medical microbiology -- a foundation they can achieved by using IMS: Microbial Pathogenesis. This book is developed in response to the changing field of medical microbiology. The number of diseases and the diversity of microbial pathogens that cause these diseases are far too many for simple taxonomic organization. As a result, IMS Microbial Pathogenesis focuses on the common principles of infection rather than the old taxonomic organization, enabling a better long term retention of relevant material, and minimizing the short-term memorization of specific "factoids," many of which may become out-dated in a short time.
O livro é resultado do trabalhos de profissionais que atuam em diferentes áreas do patrimônio cultural nas Américas e Península Ibérica, movidos por interesses, trajetórias e contextos distintos, que se entrelaçam em momentos e encerram causas comuns e consensos, dos quais destaca-se o valor central que é o compartilhamento de suas experiências, práticas e conhecimentos; a compreensão comum de que a preservação e a valorização do patrimônio cultural pressupõem aprender e avançar juntos, solidariamente; e a percepção, que se transforma em responsabilidade, do quanto toda a humanidade pode ser afetada a partir da perda de um bem ou de uma manifestação cultural local.
Knowledge of the processes of educational change is said to be the missing ingredient in attempts to bring about educational innovation and reform. Whether these efforts involve grass roots innovation or large-scale societal reform, failure to understand and act on existing knowledge of the change process has accounted for the widespread lack of success in making educational improvements. This volume analyzes what is known about successful or productive change processes, and identifies corresponding action strategies at the individual, school, local and state levels. Included in this book is a major treatment of the topic of the 'ethics of planned change', a neglected topic in recent literature, especially since strategies for intervening in the change process are receiving more attention. This book is intended to be used by teachers in training and in service, teacher trainers, educational researchers, education historians and administrators.
Brings the reader up-to-date on the developments in GBR over the past 20 years. The first four chapters focus on the basic science of GBR in implant dentistry. Helps the reader to understand the biologic and biomaterial background of this well-documented and well-established surgical technique in implant dentistry—essential knowledge for the use of barrier membranes in patients. Focuses on the clinical applications of GBR. Presents specific indications and describes the criteria for patient selection, the step-by-step surgical procedure, and aspects of postoperative treatment. Reflects the immense progress of GBR in the past 10 to 15 years and the current clinical status of GBR in implant dentistry. Like its predecessor, is a must-have resource for all clinicians with interest and experience in implant dentistry. [editor].
First published in 1988, Teachers as Intellectuals encourages us to see schools as democratic spaces in which teachers and students work together to transform society. Giroux incorporates the most valuable insights of critical pedagogy into a more comprehensive and practical theory of schooling, committed to educating students in the language of critique and possibility. At the heart of his vision for schooling is the ability of the teacher to act as a transformative intellectual and to use critical pedagogy as a form of cultural politics. The book includes an introduction by Paulo Freire, a foreword by Peter McLaren and new introduction from the author.
By definitively establishing that racism has broad implications for how the entire field of philosophy is practiced—and by whom—this powerful and convincing book puts all members of the discipline on notice that racism concerns them. It simultaneously demonstrates to race theorists the significance of philosophy for their work.A distinguished cast of authors takes a stand on the importance of race, focusing on the insights that analyses of race and racism can make to philosophy—not just to ethics and political philosophy but also to the more abstract debates of metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and epistemology. Contemporary philosophy, the authors argue, continues to evade racism and, ...
