Republicanismo Insurgente e Ressignificação dos Direitos Fundamentais
Este livro surgiu de uma coletânea de debates que emergiram durante o IV Congresso Latino-Americano Direito, Memória, Democracia e Crimes de Lesa-Humanidade, sendo esta obra um convite à reflexão e à ação para reconsiderar os conceitos de república, soberania, democracia, educação, memória, igualdade, liberdade, justiça social e bom governo, instigando uma reflexão crítica sobre como essas ideias moldam nossas subjetividades e imaginários sociais. Que este livro inspire todos nós a buscar, incessantemente, uma sociedade mais justa e democrática pautada na busca por conhecimento, pensamento crítico, reconhecimento da igualdade e promoção da solidariedade. É crucial entender que a exploração, o imperialismo e o desrespeito aos direitos fundamentais são inaceitáveis. Desejamos que esta leitura desperte em todos um amor fraternal que se traduza nos sentimentos republicanos semeados ao longo da obra, como a flor de Drummond de Andrade que "furou o asfalto, o tédio, o nojo e o ódio".
Fascismo Estrutural e a Memória da Sociedade
O mundo ocidental, nas primeiras décadas do século XXI, se vê às voltas com manifestações muito semelhantes às que ocorreram nas décadas de 20 e 30 do século XX. A extrema direita se avoluma, assim como os ingredientes político-econômicos que a estimulavam: crises macroeconômicas, carestia, insegurança de empregos, frustrações de expectativas, de estabilidade, de empregabilidade, de renda, de seguridade social, etc. Como é amplamente reconhecido, o fascismo é, sobretudo, filho do medo e, como decorre desse afeto, seu desdobramento tende a ser a violência. Violência e medo se implicam mutuamente no mundo da consequencialidade comportamental social. O fascismo se apropria de afetos como o recalque, a insegurança, o desamparo e a vulnerabilidade, e os mobiliza em prol do ódio. O ódio que alimenta a organização de movimentos, partidos que prometem amparo, segurança, superioridade. Enfim, são ilusões, mas as ilusões são poderosas pois constroem presentes, constroem a realidade prática que se materializa a partir da ação dos indivíduos.
Percepções sobre as ciências criminais
Trata-se de trabalhos, aqui concebidos como "percepções sobre as ciências criminais", decorrentes da tarefa de conclusão de curso, em sua interface com a coautoria da orientação, dos participantes do Laboratório de Ciências Criminais e do Grupo de Estudos Avançados, ambos no âmbito do Instituto Brasileiro de Ciências Criminais do Estado de Minas Gerais.
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.
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 ...

Graph Representation Learning
Graph-structured data is ubiquitous throughout the natural and social sciences, from telecommunication networks to quantum chemistry. Building relational inductive biases into deep learning architectures is crucial for creating systems that can learn, reason, and generalize from this kind of data. Recent years have seen a surge in research on graph representation learning, including techniques for deep graph embeddings, generalizations of convolutional neural networks to graph-structured data, and neural message-passing approaches inspired by belief propagation. These advances in graph representation learning have led to new state-of-the-art results in numerous domains, including chemical sy...
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
My Grandmother's Braid
Sharp and tender at once, a humourous take on family dysfunction and human weakness seen through a young boy's eyes. Max lives with his grandparents in a residential home for refugees in Germany. When his grandmother—a terrifying, stubborn matriarch and a former Russian primadonna—moved them from the Motherland, it was in search of a better life. But she is not at all pleased with how things are run in Germany. His grandmother has been telling Max that he is an incompetent, clueless weakling since he was a child. While he may be dolt in his grandmother's eyes, Max is bright enough to notice that his stoic and taciturn grandfather has fallen hopelessly in love with their neighbour, Nina. When a child is born to Nina that is the spitting image of Max's grandfather, things come to a hilarious if dramatic head. Everybody will have to learn to defend themselves from Max's all-powerful grandmother.
