Packaged Pleasures
From the candy bar to the cigarette, records to roller coasters, a technological revolution during the last quarter of the nineteenth century precipitated a colossal shift in human consumption and sensual experience. Food, drink, and many other consumer goods came to be mass-produced, bottled, canned, condensed, and distilled, unleashing new and intensified surges of pleasure, delight, thrill—and addiction. In Packaged Pleasures, Gary S. Cross and Robert N. Proctor delve into an uncharted chapter of American history, shedding new light on the origins of modern consumer culture and how technologies have transformed human sensory experience. In the space of only a few decades, junk foods, ci...
Comunicação cidadã
Experimentamos nos últimos anos grandes mudanças em todos os níveis da sociedade: econômico, político, científico, social, entre outros. São forças poderosas quebrando paradigmas e refazendo estruturas centenárias em várias esferas que desafiam as sociedades para outras formas de pensar e de agir. Passada a sacudidela dada pela Pandemia do Covid-19, como afiança a crença mais generalista de que há aspectos positivos, será necessário (re)pensar nas outras ancoragens sociais de forma mais integrada, diversificada, plural e neste cenário estão os processos de comunicação. Debater comunicação na linha que trabalha a Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores e Comunicadores em...
Pós-patriarcado
Em Pós-patriarcado: um tempo em construção, Ana Liési focaliza a persistência de velhas paternidades e de não reconhecimento paterno no Brasil. Apresenta histórias de vida (revelações por vezes devastadoras de disrupturas familiares, de sobrevivência e resiliência), e os contemporâneos debates sociológicos, antropológicos e jurídicos. Como se fora obra de arte, a construção de um tempo pós-patriarcal é um work in progress forjado em sangue, lágrimas e pesadas cargas em ombros femininos. Na atual pluralidade das famílias – completas e amorosas, com uma ou duas mães, dois pais, pai solo –, pai e mãe constituem uma das possibilidades. Este livro esperança o tempo de justiça social, com equidade de oportunidades e salários, superação das desigualdades de raça e gênero. Trata-se de leitura fundamental para se repensar a sociedade brasileira.
New Sporting Femininities
This edited collection critically explores new and emerging models of female athleticism in an era characterised as postfeminist. It approaches postfeminism through a critical lens to investigate new forms of politics being practised by women in physical activity, sport and online spaces at the intersections of gender, ethnicity, sexuality and ability. New Sporting Femininities features chapters on celebrity athletes such as Serena Williams and Ronda Rousey, alongside studies of the online fitspo movement and women’s growing participation in activities like roller derby, skateboarding and football. In doing so, it highlights key issues and concerns facing diverse groups of women in a rapidly changing gender-sport landscape. This collection sheds new light on the complex and often contradictory ways that women’s athletic participation is promoted, experienced and embodied in the context of postfeminism, commodity feminism and emerging forms of popular feminism.
