Harun Farocki
Filmmaker, film essayist, installation artist, writer: the Berlin artist Harun Farocki has devoted his life to the power of images. Over the thirty-plus years of his career, Farocki has explored not the images of life but rather the life of images that surrounds us in newspapers, cinema, books, television, and advertising. Harun Farocki examines, from different critical perspectives, his vast oeuvre, which includes three feature films, critical media pieces, children’s television features, “learning films” in the tradition of Brecht, and installation pieces. Interviews, a selection of Farocki’s own writings, and an annotated filmography complete a valuable biography of this pioneering artist and his legendary career.

The Concise Cinegraph
This comprehensive guide is an ideal reference work for film specialists and enthusiasts. First published in 1984 but continuously updated ever since, CineGraph is the most authoritative and comprehensive encyclopedia on German-speaking cinema in the German language. This condensed and substantially revised English-language edition makes this important resource available to students and researchers for the first time outside its German context. It offers a representative historical overview through bio-filmographical entries on the main protagonists, from the beginnings to the present day. Included are directors and actors, writers and cameramen, composers and production designers, film theorists and critics, producers and distributors, inventors and manufacturers. An appendix includes short introductory essays on specific periods and movements, such as Early Film, Weimar, Nazi Cinema, DEFA, New German Cinema, and German film since unification, as well as on cinematic developments in Austria and Switzerland. Sections that crossreference names around specific professional groups and themes will prove equally invaluable to researchers.
Algoritmos e Proteção de Dados Pessoais
Algoritmos e proteção de dados pessoais: tutela de direitos na era dos perfis" trata sobre os desafios que sistemas algorítmicos de perfilamento automatizado impõem à sociedade contemporânea e à democracia constitucional brasileira. Como essas tecnologias, usadas por entes privados e públicos em sistemas de escore de crédito e de detecção de fraude a benefícios sociais, por exemplo, são reguladas no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro? O direito fundamental à proteção de dados pessoais e a LGPD se aplicam às etapas do processo de perfilamento? Essas são as principais questões analisadas ao longo dos capítulos deste livro, que apresenta propostas para a articulação entre essas tecnologias e o direito fundamental à proteção de dados pessoais, à luz da unidade do sistema jurídico e de acordo com a perspectiva da proteção jurídica desde a concepção (legal protection by design).
Thomé H. Fang, Tang Junyi and Huayan Thought
In Thomé H. Fang, Tang Junyi and Huayan Thought, King Pong Chiu discusses Thomé H. Fang and Tang Junyi, two of the most important Confucian thinkers in twentieth-century China, who appropriated aspects of the medieval Chinese Buddhist school of Huayan to develop a response to the challenges of ‘scientism’, the belief that quantitative natural science is the only valuable part of human learning and the only source of truth. As Chiu argues, Fang’s and Tang’s selective appropriations of Huayan thought paid heed to the hermeneutical importance of studying ancient texts in order to be more responsive to modern issues, and helped confirm the values of Confucianism under the challenge of ‘scientism’, a topic widely ignored in academia.
