Humanitarian Futures
Humanitarian Futures: Challenges and Opportunities explores the increasing types, dimensions and dynamics of crises threatening the world in the twenty-first century, and argues that those with humanitarian roles and responsibilities can only meet such challenges if their approaches to strategic and operational planning undergo fundamental paradigmatic shifts. Strategically and operationally, such shifts must begin by planning from the future, for the future. Author Randolph C. Kent, the UN’s first Humanitarian Coordinator, with experience in some of the most complex crises of modern times, including Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kosovo, Sudan and Somalia, provides a blueprint for dealing with ever gr...
Greek Mythic Heroines in Brazilian Literature and Performance
This volume presents a survey of the reception of Greek myths - including Antigone, Medea, the Trojan cycle, and Alcestis - in Brazilian literature and stage performance. The collection addresses the work of many innovative authors, some of them great names of Brazilian literature, such as Jorge Andrade and Nelson Rodrigues, who are influential in this specific area of classical reception and well known by modern audiences. This unique volume is the product of collaboration of many scholars with different affiliations under the coordination of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte), two of the most prestigious universities in Brazil for the study of Classical and Reception Studies.
The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil
The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil: Peripheral Media offers a new understanding of the digital media produced from the favelas, urban occupations, and in the countryside of Brazil, focusing on the discourse of this broad periphery in the late 2010s. After a decade of political stabilization and economic growth, the contemporary periphery has the ability to employ digital media to politicize old demands for social justice and better public services, and to denaturalize inequality overall. The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil presents interviews conducted with producers acting in the cities’ outskirts, in favelas, and in the countryside, showing how a myriad of websites and social media pages can launch specific challenges against hegemonic mass media outlets, the state, and society. A vast body of research reveals producers’ strategies to garner publicity for marginalized neighborhoods and individuals, providing an essential background for scholars of Latin American studies, journalism, and communication.

Gestão Processual E Oralidade - O Gerenciamento Do Processo Nas Audiências Do Código De Processo Civil De 2015
A presente obra aborda o princípio da oralidade e suas intersecções com a gestão processual no bojo das audiências previstas no processo de conhecimento disciplinado pelo CPC/15 e se insere dentre os estudos que buscam refletir e propor possíveis alternativas para o amplo contexto a que se acostumou chamar de “crise do sistema de justiça”. Trata-se, assim, de uma tentativa de se pensar os problemas do sistema de justiça brasileiro à luz da conjugação de duas ideias centrais para o trabalho: a oralidade e a gestão processual. Nesse contexto, o trabalho dá destaque à audiência de saneamento compartilhado, na qual ressai o ápice da intersecção entre oralidade e gestão processual, uma vez que os subprincípios da oralidade beneficiam a utilização das técnicas de gestão processual, contribuindo para a prolação de decisão de saneamento e organização do processo eficiente e apta a encurtar o caminho do processo até a prolação de decisão que recaia sobre o mérito da controvérsia.
Talking with Psychopaths: Mass Murderers and Spree Killers
Bestselling true-crime author Christopher Berry-Dee's latest book tackles the heavy crime of people who randomly kill large numbers of others (spree killers) and those who set out to do so in specific places or situations (mass killers). As such killings become more frequent, the ready availability and ease of obtaining firearms and weak backgrounds checks in the United States inevitably lends to many of these cases, but there have been other recent examples in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Norway, where extremely robust firearms legislation could not stop these horrific crimes. What is more difficult to establish is the motivation behind such killings. Some are occasioned by grievanc...
O princípio da autonomia privada à luz do Direito Sucessório contemporâneo
Ao analisar as mudanças sofridas, nos últimos séculos, pelo Estado de Direito, percebe-se que, embora a pessoa humana tenha sido elevada a norte da atuação estatal, em algumas searas do ordenamento, como o ramo do Direito Sucessório, essa valoração não foi e não vem sendo realizada. Diante disso, o presente livro tem por objetivo analisar se o direito à legitima, previsto na legislação sucessória, possibilita o exercício da autonomia privada pelos indivíduos, bem como se ainda se apresenta como um instituto compatível à autonomia da pessoa humana, ressignificada sob os moldes do Estado Democrático de Direito. O livro está estruturado em três capítulos. O primeiro tratar...
