As novas infraestruturas produtivas
Resultado de pesquisas sobre as transformações do trabalho no Brasil e no mundo, As novas infraestruturas produtivas, obra organizada pelos pesquisadores Ricardo Festi e Jörg Nowak, conta com catorze textos de 27 autores e aborda temas como o papel das plataformas digitais no trabalho contemporâneo, automação, inteligência artificial, as novas formas de organização dos trabalhadores, educação, neoliberalismo, terceirização e comércio eletrônico. Os autores trazem para a obra um diagnóstico preciso, ainda que parcial, das atuais tendências do capital em relação ao trabalho, resultado de investigações que obedecem diferentes metodologias. E mais, discutem de maneira original a formação de uma nova classe trabalhadora e as novas formas de organização coletiva. "Utilizando-se de arsenal tecnológico do século XXI, o trabalho encontra similitude e equivalência em modalidades típicas do século XIX, tudo sob a abjeta aparência da modernidade. É exatamente esse o objeto que esta coletânea ajuda a descortinar. Para que se possa melhor confrontá-lo", escreve na quarta capa o coordenador da coleção Mundo do trabalho, o professor Ricardo Antunes.
Modern Food Microbiology
This fourth edition of Modern Food Microbiology is written primarily for use as a textbook in a second or subsequent course in microbiology. The previous editions have found usage in courses in food microbiology and applied microbiology in liberal arts, food science, food technology, nutritional science, and nutrition curricula. Although organic chemistry is a desirable prerequisite, those with a good grasp of biology and chemistry should not find this book difficult. In addition to its use as a textbook, this edition, like the previous one, contains material that goes beyond that covered in a typical microbiology course (parts of Chaps. 4, 6, and 7). This material is included for its refere...

Russian Civil Society: A Critical Assessment
A vibrant civil society - characterized by the independently organized activity of people as citizens, undirected by state authority - is an essential support for the development of freedom, democracy, and prosperity. Thus it has been one important indicator of the success of post-communist transitions. This volume undertakes a systematic analysis of the development of civil society in post-Soviet Russia. An introduction and two historical chapters provide background, followed by chapters that analyze the Russian context and consider the roles of the media, business, organized crime, the church, the village, and the Putin administration in shaping the terrain of public life. Eight case studies then illustrate the range and depth of actual citizen organizations in various national and local community settings, and a concluding chapter weighs the findings and distills comparisons and conclusions.

Looking West?
Russian youth culture has been a subject of great interest to researchers since 1991, but most studies to date have failed to consider the global context. Looking West? engages theories of cultural globalization to chart how post-Soviet Russia&’s opening up to the West has been reflected in the cultural practices of its young people. Visitors to Russia&’s cities often interpret the presence of designer clothes shops, Internet caf&és, and a vibrant club scene as evidence of the &"Westernization&" of Russian youth. As Looking West? shows, however, the younger generation has adopted a &"pick and mix&" strategy with regard to Western cultural commodities that reflects a receptiveness to the...
Political Concepts
Deciding what is and what is not political is a fraught, perhaps intractably opaque matter. Just who decides the question; on what grounds; to what ends—these seem like properly political questions themselves. Deciding what is political and what is not can serve to contain and restrain struggles, make existing power relations at once self-evident and opaque, and blur the possibility of reimagining them differently. Political Concepts seeks to revive our common political vocabulary—both everyday and academic—and to do so critically. Its entries take the form of essays in which each contributor presents her or his own original reflection on a concept posed in the traditional Socratic que...
Walter Benjamin's Grave
In September 1940, Walter Benjamin committed suicide in Port Bou on the Spanish-French border when it appeared that he and his travelling partners would be denied passage into Spain in their attempt to escape the Nazis. In 2002, one of anthropology’s—and indeed today’s—most distinctive writers, Michael Taussig, visited Benjamin’s grave in Port Bou. The result is “Walter Benjamin’s Grave,” a moving essay about the cemetery, eyewitness accounts of Benjamin’s border travails, and the circumstances of his demise. It is the most recent of eight revelatory essays collected in this volume of the same name. “Looking over these essays written over the past decade,” writes Taussi...
