Com prefácio de José Silva Peneda. Uma obra que vaicontribuir para a reflexão sobre o fenómeno do Direito Coletivo, não só para uma análise para uma projeção do futuro dos instrumentos legislativos, a nível nacional e internacional, não esquecendo a necessidade de serem observados pela visão conjunta de trabalhadores e de empregadores. Os autores, aquém e além-fronteiras, foram convidados a pensar o fenómeno da negociação coletiva e a apresentarem o seu contributo para a definição do estado da arte, ao mesmo tempo que apontam soluções para o futuro. A legislação europeia é abordada no que se refere ao relacionamento entre o destacamento de trabalhadores, a aplicação...

Youth unemployment and joblessness are major issues for national governments and international organizations across the globe. In this respect, the school-to-work transition challenge is increasingly raising the interest of companies, education and training institutions, families and young people themselves, who are often involved in precarious and illegal forms of employment, in many countries of the world. In the field of industrial and labour relations, the school-to-work perspective seems particularly suitable for policy formulation and assessment: the broad and complex range of tools, strategies and policies for enabling youth training and their access to the labour market is deserving of a closer analysis at an international level in a time when jobless recovery threatens national economies. The ADAPT LABOUR STUDIES BOOK-SERIES has in connection been set up with a view to achieving a better understanding of the causes, consequences and possible responses to the issue in a global dimension through an interdisciplinary and comparative approach.
I contributi riuniti nel volume, presentati per la prima volta in occasione del I Convegno dell'AISPEB (Associazione di Studi Portoghesi e Brasiliani), tenutosi nel 2012 presso le sedi dell'Università di Roma “La Sapienza” e dell'Università di Roma Tre, offrono un panorama di temi, linguistici e letterari, legati sia al contesto portoghese che a quello brasiliano. I saggi d’argomento letterario rinnovano il contributo italiano allo studio della letteratura luso-brasiliana, rimanendo nel solco di una tradizione nazionale ricca di spunti, che ha visto arrivare proprio dall’Italia alcuni contributi storici, filologici ed ermeneutici tuttora indispensabili per comprendere l’opera dei maggiori autori di lingua portoghese. I saggi di argomento linguistico sintetizzano invece alcuni dei risultati prodotti dalle cattedre di lingua, di recente istituzione in Italia, privilegiando in particolar modo tematiche legate al binomio lingua-traduzione.
Free City is master storyteller João Almino's third novel to focus on the city of Brasília, the social swirl of its early years, when contractors, corporate profiteers, idealists, politicians, mystical sects, and even celebrities mingled—including Aldous Huxley, Fidel Castro, Andre Malraux, John Dos Passos, Elizabeth Bishop, and many others. Putting past and present into direct conflict, the story takes the form of a blog, even incorporating comments from other bloggers, each with their vested interests, each with new reasons for spinning fictions of their own.

Chamavam-se Inessa, Clara, Nadia, Magda, Felismina, Jiang Qing, Elena, Catherine... E eles Lenine, Mussolini, Estaline, Hitler, Salazar, Mao, Ceausescu, Bokassa. Prostitutas ou mulheres da alta burguesia intelectual, paixões fugazes ou amores intensos, eles maltratavam ou adoravam-nas, mas, sistematicamente, voltavam para os seus braços. Esposas, companheiras, musas, admiradoras, todas têm em comum o facto de terem sido vencedoras, enganadas e sacrificadas. Aos seus homens cruéis, violentos, tiranos e infiéis, faziam crer que eram belos, charmosos e todo-poderosos. Sendo a virilidade um dos alicerces do poder absoluto, os ditadores sentiam a necessidade de juntar figuras femininas ao imaginário de poder e domínio que criaram. E assim controlando-os na sombra, por vezes, até à morte, como se vivessem sob a égide de um Pigmaleão. Diane Ducret relata em detalhe os momentos, as estratégias de sedução, os casos amorosos, as intervenções políticas e os destinos diversos, ocasionalmente trágicos, das mulheres que cruzaram o caminho ou passaram pelo leito dos ditadores.
