Possíveis Travessias: O Desenho e a Experiência da Arte
Em 2021, quando se comemoram os 125 anos de Alberto da Veiga Guignard e para falar sobre a importância de trazê-lo para a contemporaneidade na formação de artistas, foi escrito Possíveis travessias: o desenho e a experiência da arte, com plena consciência de sua importância, especialmente neste momento, quando todos os segmentos culturais são colocados em dúvida por uma política que desqualifica o que há de mais sensível na humanidade — a arte e a liberdade de ser, criar e se expressar. São as coerências de um pensar amadurecido por anos de pesquisa no exercício de ensinar, formar e produzir arte; são os mergulhos em espaços outros de impossibilidades perceptivas em que v...
Os Reveses da Ausência: As "Questões Raciais" na Produção Acadêmica do Serviço Social no Brasil (1936-2013)
Reivindicado por segmentos do Serviço Social como importante campo de estudos para aprimoramento e reconhecimento sobre os usuários dos serviços e, mesmo, sobre o perfil dos sujeitos assistentes sociais, o estudo sobre as "questões raciais" não ganha notoriedade como em outras áreas das ciências humanas e sociais. O livro Reveses da ausência trata do percurso e da expressão do tema "questões raciais", na literatura acadêmica, do ponto de vista histórico e contemporâneo no Serviço Social no período de 1936-2013. Nele, analiso como o ambiente acadêmico do Serviço Social inibe e/ou promove, motiva e/ou hesita as iniciativas na produção de pesquisas e estudos sobre as "questõ...
Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Process Mining in Healthcare
What are the possibilities for process mining in hospitals? In this book the authors provide an answer to this question by presenting a healthcare reference model that outlines all the different classes of data that are potentially available for process mining in healthcare and the relationships between them. Subsequently, based on this reference model, they explain the application opportunities for process mining in this domain and discuss the various kinds of analyses that can be performed. They focus on organizational healthcare processes rather than medical treatment processes. The combination of event data and process mining techniques allows them to analyze the operational processes wi...
D. Pedro II, a Sinédoque de um Tempo: Uma Análise sobre Biografias do Imperador
O Imperador D. Pedro II é um personagem emblemático da nossa história. Reinou por quase meio século, entre 1840 e 1889. A longevidade de seu reinado, por si só, é motivo de curiosidade em um país que tem como marca, principalmente no período republicano, rupturas institucionais e governamentais. Diante deste cenário, este personagem da história brasileira foi revisitado em diversos momentos, desde a sua deposição. Diversas obras biográficas foram publicadas sobre o monarca no último século. Este livro analisou como quatro biografias construíram representações sobre o personagem. Foram selecionadas as obras escritas por Benjamin Mossé-barão do Rio Branco (1889), Gilberto F...
Immune Correlates of Protection for Emerging Diseases – Lessons from Ebola and COVID-19
Correlates of Protection (CoP) are biological parameters present in vaccinated or naturally infected individuals that predict levels of protection against an infectious disease. CoP facilitate vaccine licensing since they enable: a) the selection of antigen composition of a vaccine; b) the assessment of vaccine efficacy in clinical trials without exposure of participants to natural infection; and c) bridging between first- and second-generation vaccines.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
The Italian
An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
