O que o governo, tema da vida coletiva, tem a ver com a psicologia, ciência da vida privada? Se seguíssemos a filosofia política tradicional, a partir de uma tentativa de justificar ou legitimar os dispositivos de soberania do Estado, não encontraríamos qualquer conexão. A perspectiva muda quando tomamos o conceito de governo como "genealogia do Estado moderno", projeto empreendido por Michel Foucault, no final dos anos 1970. Esse projeto foi retomado por inúmeros outros autores, como Michel Senellart, Graham Burchel, Colin Gordon, Peter Miller e Nikolas Rose. Para evitar a confusão com outros possíveis conceitos de governo, Foucault usa o termo "governamentalidade", enquanto "manei...
Este libro reúne una decena de trabajos recientes sobre prácticas psicológicas, todos ellos con material empírico de carácter etnográfico o historiográfico. Están realizados por un total de veintiún autores y en ocho universidades distintas de Brasil, Chile, Colombia, España y Uruguay. Los precede un capítulo introductorio donde se problematizan las condiciones de posibilidad teóricas y metodológicas para investigar las prácticas psicológicas, entendiéndolas como tecnologías del yo, de acuerdo con el concepto acuñado por Michel Foucault referido a las técnicas de modificación de la subjetividad. Los trabajos abordan varios fenómenos de producción de subjetividad en ámb...
Gustav Fechner (1801-1887) é um pensador que desempenha um papel singular nas narrativas em história da psicologia: em um número grande de trabalhos ele é descrito como uma espécie de gênio científico que teria aberto as portas para a matematização dos fenômenos psicológicos, mas tendo produzido também um grande conjunto de textos satíricos, metafísicos e religiosos. Nessas narrativas históricas, esses textos muitas vezes são apresentados como curiosidades metafísicas. Neste livro apresentamos pela primeira vez em língua portuguesa um desses textos, "O Pequeno Livro da Vida Após a Morte" – escrito por Fechner na década de 1830 e aqui acompanhado da introdução escrita ...
Offers an account of the emergence of Christianity from the Ancient World. Foucault describes the stranger byways of Greek medicine (with its advice on the healthiest season for sex and exercise and diet), the permitted ways of courting young boys, and the economists' ideas about the role of women.
Urbanization, industrialization, and unethical agricultural practices have considerably negative effects on the environment, flora, fauna, and the health and safety of humanity. Over the last decade, green chemistry research has focused on discovering and utilizing safer, more environmentally friendly processes to synthesize products like organic compounds, inorganic compounds, medicines, proteins, enzymes, and food supplements. These green processes exist in other interdisciplinary fields of science and technology, like chemistry, physics, biology, and biotechnology, Still the majority of processes in these fields use and generate toxic raw materials, resulting in techniques and byproducts ...
This volume contains the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Exascale Applications and Software, EASC 2014, held in Stockholm, Sweden, in April 2014. The 6 full papers presented together with 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. They are organized in two topical sections named: toward exascale scientific applications and development environment for exascale applications.
This book addresses the use of ionic liquids in biotransformation and organocatalysis. Its major parts include: an overview of the fundamentals of ionic liquids and their interactions with proteins and enzymes; the use of ILs in biotransformations; non-solvent applications such as additives, membranes, substrate anchoring, and the use of ILs in organocatalysis (from solvents to co-catalysts and new reactivities, as well as non-solvent applications such as anchoring and immobilization).
This second volume expands upon the previous edition with new research and objectives in immunoregulation and immune tolerance. Chapters cover topics ranging from new molecular and cellular mechanisms of tolerance; generation and characterization of mice regulatory macrophages; recent advances in the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory disorders; and novel mechanisms and therapeutic perspectives on food allergies. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Suppression and Regulation of Immune Responses: Methods and Protocols, Volume II is a great resource for current research and inspiration for new studies in immune tolerance.
The gap between the rich and poor is widening across the globe. This book explores whether this major societal challenge of our time can be addressed by the means of competition law. The primary goal of today's competition law is to ensure that market power does not lead to an inefficient production of goods and services. Nevertheless, even such efficiency-oriented curbing of market power may arguably contribute to the reduction of differences in how much people own and earn. Furthermore, many competition law regimes do take into account distributive considerations too. The chapters investigate the relationship between competition law and economic (in)equality from philosophical, historical,...
