A era digital avança e reconfigura os modos de produzir, de viver e de conviver da humanidade nos quatro cantos do planeta. A profundidade e a extensão das transformações que hoje vivenciamos parecem atingir seu ápice com a Inteligência Artificial. A automação oferecida pelas máquinas com seus sistemas digitais abrem possibilidades imprevisíveis que podem criar um sistema mágico, onde as soluções mais inusitadas advêm de um mecanismo ou de um "sujeito" oculto disponível a servir os seus usuários como uma espécie de feiticeiro ou de divina providência. As perguntas técnicas são respondidas pelos especialistas que costumam dizer que estamos apenas no começo de uma incomparável virada histórica. O livro oferece reflexões que indicam rumos e desafios para essas perguntas.
In her first work of fiction in more than a decade, award-winning novelist Hilma Wolitzer brilliantly renders the intimate details of ordinary life and exposes a host of hidden truths. The Doctor’s Daughter is a haunting portrait of a woman coming to terms with her family history and the fallibility of memory. One morning, Alice Brill awakes with a sudden awareness that something is wrong. There’s a hollowness in her chest, and a sensation of dread that she can’t identify or shake. Was it something she’s done, or forgotten to do? As she scours her mind for the source of her unease, she confronts an array of disturbing possibilities. First, there is her marriage, a once vibrant relati...
Nós - seres humanos [mortais] - somos seres condicionados, porque tudo aquilo com que entramos em contato torna-se, imediatamente, condição de nossa existência. Destarte, deparamo-nos diante da inevitável necessidade antropológica de o ser humano estabelecer um sentido global a partir do qual organiza cada uma das parcelas da realidade com a qual entra em contato, cotidianamente. Existencialmente, todo ser humano mendiga o sentido da existência, mesmo que em graus distintos de explicação: "[...] Todo ser humano tem um sentido para a vida, um eixo articulador para a existência, ao passo que nem todos os seres humanos possuem o mesmo eixo articulador [...]". Nos últimos dias da humanidade, floresce no terreno da pluralidade religiosa uma diversidade de eixos articuladores, desvelando diversas opções de sentido. Que este escrito vos possibilite uma experiência - "[...] a face do pensamento que se volta para a presença do objeto [...]" - de leituras de sentido!
2008 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Magazine Conventional scholarship on the Mediterranean portrays the Inner Sea as a timeless entity with unchanging ecological and agrarian features. But, Faruk Tabak argues, some of the "traditional" and "olden" characteristics that we attribute to it today are actually products of relatively recent developments. Locating the shifting fortunes of Mediterranean city-states and empires in patterns of long-term economic and ecological change, this study shows how the quintessential properties of the basin—the trinity of cereals, tree crops, and small livestock—were reestablished as the Mediterranean's importance in global commerce, agriculture, and po...

The Chief Black Eunuch, appointed personally by the Sultan, had both the ear of the leader of a vast Islamic Empire and held power over a network of spies and informers, including eunuchs and slaves throughout Constantinople and beyond. The story of these remarkable individuals, who rose from difficult beginnings to become amongst the most powerful people in the Ottoman Empire, is rarely told. George Junne places their stories in the context of the wider history of African slavery, and places them at the centre of Ottoman history. The Black Eunuchs of the Ottoman Empire marks a new direction in the study of courtly politics and power in Constantinople.
