MyNews Explica Negacionismo Científico e suas consequências
Recusar a realidade de maneira sistemática é um fenômeno não apenas científico, mas também social, político, ideológico, religioso. Negar a ciência está ligado à ideia de pós-verdade, às teorias da conspiração, à desinformação, às pseudociências, aos ataques a cientistas e, também, à extrema direita. Esta obra faz mergulho no conceito de "negacionismo científico", abordando algumas das principais formas: o terraplanismo, a ideia de que o homem não teria ido à Lua e os negacionismos climático e do Holocausto. Também olha para a negação da pandemia, um dos fenômenos mais recentes e, talvez, mais impactantes do negacionismo -- traduzido, no Brasil, pela resistência à vacina e pela oferta de "tratamentos" para Covid-19 sem eficácia científica como a cloroquina. Negar a ciência é poderoso e perigoso, algo que deve ser entendido justamente para ser combatido. Este livro é parte dessa importante compreensão.
Antropoentomofagia
Uma coletânea de textos de diversos pesquisadores que é um marco significativo na história da antropoentomofagia latino-americana. Das centenas de milhares de espécies de insetos já catalogadas, mais de 1.780 são utilizadas como alimento pelas populações de cerca de 120 países. Embora seja vasta a literatura existente sobre o assunto, a cozinha entomofágica ainda permanece desconhecida e mesmo desprezada pela maior parte da população mundial, sobretudo nos países desenvolvidos. Entretanto, poucos discordariam de que a entomofagia constitui uma alternativa para alimentar parte considerável dos seres humanos.

Cultural Crossroads in the Ancient Novel
The protagonists of the ancient novels wandered or were carried off to distant lands, from Italy in the west to Persia in the east and Ethiopia in the south; the authors themselves came, or pretended to come, from remote places such as Aphrodisia and Phoenicia; and the novelistic form had antecedents in a host of classical genres. These intersections are explored in this volume. Papers in the first section discuss “mapping the world in the novels.” The second part looks at the dialogical imagination, and the conversation between fiction and history in the novels. Section 3 looks at the way ancient fiction has been transmitted and received. Space, as the locus of cultural interaction and exchange, is the topic of the fourth part. The fifth and final section is devoted to character and emotion, and how these are perceived or constructed in ancient fiction. Overall, a rich picture is offered of the many spatial and cultural dimensions in a variety of ancient fictional genres.
Re-Wiring The Ancient Novel, 2 Volume set
The Fifth International Conference on the Ancient Novel, which was held in Houston, Texas, in the fall of 2015, brought together scholars and students of the ancient novel from all over the world in order to share new and significant developments about this fascinating field of study and its important place in the field of Classical Studies. The essays contained in these two volumes are clear evidence that the ancient novel has become a valuable part of the Classics canon and its scholarly attempts to understand the ancient Graeco-Roman world.

The Reality of Women in the Universe of the Ancient Novel
This volume gathers chapters related to the condition of women in the ancient novel. To broaden the perspective, it integrates not only papers dealing with the Greek and Roman novel as a literary genre in its own right, but also as a historical document involving aspects as diverse as history, archaeology, sociology and the history of law. The twenty-six contributions in this volume have been divided into thematic blocks, based on the different approaches that the authors have adopted to tackle the subject. The first block is about realia – the reality in which the fiction has been conceived. The second block focuses on the legal problems that can be deduced from the plots of the novels. The third block encompasses deals with the Greek and Roman novel from the point of view of classical philology, literary criticism and literary theory, with chapters dedicated to the tradition of the ancient novel, both in our most immediate cultural area (Middle Ages, Spanish Golden Age) and in other contexts, whether Indo-European (India, Persia) or of a different origin.
Essays on Ancient Greek Literature and Culture: Volume 2, Comedy, Herodotus, Hellenistic and Imperial Greek Poetry, the Novels
In this book one of the world's leading Hellenists brings together his many contributions over four decades to our understanding of major genres of Greek literature, above all the Greek novel, but also Attic Comedy, fifth-century historiography, and Hellenistic and Imperial Greek poetry. Many are already essential reading, such as the chapter on the figure of Lycidas in Theocritus' Idyll 7, or two chapters on the ancient readership of Greek novels. Discussions of Imperial Greek poetry published three decades ago opened up a world almost entirely neglected by scholars. Several chapters address literary and linguistic issues in Longus' novel Daphnis and Chloe, complementing the author's commentary published in 2019; two contribute to a better understanding of the enigmatic Aethiopica of Heliodorus; and many explore important questions arising from examination of the form of the Greek novel as a whole. This is the second of a planned three-volume collection.
