This book brings together a selection of theoretical reflections, empirical researches and professional experiences to showcase the increasing production of psychological studies in rural contexts developed in Latin America in recent years. Psychology’s tradition of science and eminently urban profession has produced a void of reflections and approaches on important actors of the societies that constitute their existence in rural contexts and in relation – whether of integration, conflicts and contradictions – with urban agents. But a new generation of psychologists are turning their attention to rural contexts, especially in Latin America. This volume aims to present a selection of th...
This book presents a multidimensional, psychosocial and critical understanding of poverty by bringing together studies carried out with groups in different contexts and situations of deprivation in Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, Nicaragua and Spain. The book is divided in two parts.

The second part presents studies focused on strategies to fight poverty and forms of resistance developed by individuals who are in situations of marginalization. The stu...

It discusses the importance of palliative care for patients facing finitude and explores the role of spirituality in coping with chronicity. In summary, the book aims to present a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective on chronicity, providing valuable insights for the teaching, research, extension, and care sectors.
Quem são as pessoas que produzem literatura brasileira hoje? Que vozes poéticas ecoam de ruas, becos e vielas? De quais caminhos emerge a cena cultural dos saraus nas periferias? Quem são as pessoas que estão colocando as poesias nas calçadas? Com base em uma imersão na cena dos saraus nas periferias, a autora apresenta nesta obra a potência da produção artÃstica e cultural dos/nos territórios periféricos, destacando a inventividade de tais criações. Desde uma perspectiva de dentro, de quem vive e partilha os afetos provocados pelos encontros nos/com saraus, partilha com leitores/as uma narrativa construÃda por meio do exercÃcio da poética do conhecimento, na qual as produções discursivas das pessoas dos saraus, as poesias, as músicas, as fotografias, os mapas e os referenciais teóricos são articulados horizontalmente, sem estabelecer hierarquias entre as distintas formas de produção de saberes. Esta obra destina-se a quem tenha interesse na cena literária contemporânea, na articulação entre experiência estética e transformação social, entre psicologia e artes, na insurgência (po)ética e afetiva dos povos de territórios periféricos.
