Everything about Every@ne
Viewing cybernetic technologies as technologies of communication but also of control, the sociologist and professor Sergio Amadeu da Silveira addresses in this book the implications of the growth of digital networks and the establishment of a market for personal data collection and sale that encroaches on those environments. Referencing both prestigious authors and practical examples, the book brings to light the way in which this so-called "data market" – represented by companies and systems – has strived to approach individual privacy as an obstacle to be removed. Closely linked to the content, the book is published exclusively in digital format.
Narrativas da cidadania

The value of life
Not everybody can find a meaning for life in the middle of a moment of unimaginable pain. But Roseli Tardelli did. In the death of her HIV-infected brother, Sérgio, she found a cause worth fighting for. But a glance at Agência AIDS suffices to see all the work that has been done to bring more rights of the HIV-infected and promote information about AIDS to the population. The path is tortuous, the hurdles are enormous and countless, but Roseli and her team of collaborators manage to channel such powerful energy that barriers are crossed nearly every day. With this publication, Senac São Paulo presents more than a story about a fight, it also brings up relevant discussions and information – through the glossary and the timeline – for the reader to reflect upon the journey of the disease in Brazil and in the world and, at the same time, it pays tribute to the people who fight for a more humane treatment of those infected with HIV.

Critical Care
How architecture and urbanism can help to care for and repair a broken planet: essays and illustrated case studies. Today, architecture and urbanism are capital-centric, speculation-driven, and investment-dominated. Many cannot afford housing. Austerity measures have taken a disastrous toll on public infrastructures. The climate crisis has rendered the planet vulnerable, even uninhabitable. This book offers an alternative vision in architecture and urbanism that focuses on caring for a broken planet. Rooted in a radical care perspective that always starts from the given, in the midst of things, this edited collection of essays and illustrated case studies documents ideas and practices from a...
Brazilian Theater, 1970äóñ2010
How did Brazilian theater survive under the military dictatorship of 1964–1985? How did it change once the regime was over? This collection of new essays is the first to cover Brazilian theater during this period. Brazilian scholars and artists discuss the history of a theater community that not only resisted the regime but reinvented itself and continued to develop more sophisticated forms of expression even in the face of competition from television and other media. The contributors recount the struggle to stage meaningful plays at a time when some artists and intellectuals were exiled, others imprisoned, tortured or killed. With the return of democracy other important issues arose: how to ensure space for different practices and for regional theater, and how to continue producing international plays that could be meaningful for a Brazilian audience.
Bluesology and Bofelosophy
The poems, stories and essays of Mphutlane wa Bofelo operate within a framework of thinking that is an amalgam of philosophies: that of black consciousness, humanistic Islam and socialism. His voice is both lyrical and satirical, expressing anger and tenderness even as his barbs are sharp and his kisses tender. His beats are complex polyrhythms that roll on in incantatory style or achieve mystical brevity. Bofelo entered the world of sociopolitical and cultural activism in the early 1980s through the black consciousness movement in Zamdela Township in Sasolburg. He lives in Durban, where he has built up an audience as a performer of poetry, a speaker and a facilitator. He has self-published two poetry collections and is represented in journals, newspapers and on web sites.
Fighting an Invisible Enemy
Fighting an Invisible Enemy narrates the founding in 2002 and growth of the internationally renowned centre of excellence for communicable diseases, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in South Africa. In a continent riven with a panoply of formidable contagious pathogens, the book describes how the nascent NICD travelled a rocky road to maturity. Starting humbly, as did many of its sister public health institutions around the world, the road was strewn with daunting obstacles of financial restrictions, bureaucratic straitjacketing, international isolation during the apartheid era and, in later years, the calumny of governmental AIDS denial. Following the triumph of the e...
África Brasil
Among the long string of historical albums he created, África Brasil, from 1976, is a milestone in Jorge Ben's career. It is the record in which he definitely swaps the acoustic for the electric guitar. Narrating Jorge Ben's journey, album by album, to África Brasil, the 14th studio LP of his career, the journalist Kamille Viola interviews musicians, producers, researchers and even soccer stars like Zico (honored in the track "Camisa 10 da Gávea" to review the artist's life story and the background details of the album's production. Considered to be the high point in the career of the author of "Umbabarauma", África Brasil comprises alongside A tábua de esmeralda (1974) and Solta o pav...
Exercícios de perplexidades
Há uma tradição de grandes aforistas, como Nietzsche, Pascal, Schopenhauer, Oscar Wilde, entre outros. Aliando literatura e filosofia, os bons aforismos conseguem traduzir conceitos complexos com sentenças curtas. Depois de publicar pelas Edições Sesc São Paulo uma série de livros de filosofia, que refletem essencialmente sobre questões da contemporaneidade, Mauro Maldonato envereda pelo gênero dos aforismos no estilo poético que lhe é peculiar, abordando diversos temas destes tempos cada vez mais desafiadores, como consciência, corpo, inconsciente, pensamento, racionalidade, ciência e tempo. Tudo sob o signo da perplexidade – ou do olhar sempre renovado – que lança mão do distanciamento para refletir de forma breve e aprofundada sobre a realidade.
