O debate sobre os programas de transferência condicionada de renda acirrou-se, sobretudo, na década de 1980, tendo sido amplamente utilizados na década de 1990, por meio de ações de combate à pobreza pelos países de nível econômico menos desenvolvido. A crise nos sistemas de Welfare State e o aumento do desemprego são alguns dos fatores que ensejam o seu surgimento, ocupando a figura feminina um papel central no desenho dessas políticas sob o argumento de que as mulheres ocupam uma função social na família e historicamente foram excluídas da esfera política, sendo esta uma forma de reconhecer seu papel e aumentar sua autonomia. Assim, o livro tem como objetivo analisar em que medida o Programa Bolsa Família, maior política dessa natureza já criada no país, de fato contribui para a promoção da justiça de gênero, a ampliação da cidadania das mulheres pobres e a subversão dos papéis tradicionais de gênero.
'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.
Supplements accompany some numbers; annual supplement issued 1944-46 during suspension of main publication.

She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
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.
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?
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 ...
(...) Foi sob essa visão que a presente obra"A prioridade da pessoa humana no direito civil-constitucional: estudos em homenagem a Maria Celina Bodin de Moraes", foi construída.
