O caráter nacional brasileiro
Dante Moreira Leite examina as raízes conceituais do caráter nacional, sua crítica e reformulação da segunda metade do século XIX até meados do século XX, quando da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Aborda em seguida as sucessivas teorias sobre o caráter nacional brasileiro recorrendo às imagens e às formulações construídas pela literatura, pela história e pela sociologia.Assim, partindo dos primeiros documentos sobre o país e do movimento nativista, segue examinando a construção da imagem do Brasil e dos brasileiros no Romantismo, no Realismo, na obra capital de Euclides da Cunha. Da apreciação das obras de Nina Rodrigues, Oliveira Vianna e Arthur Ramos passa em revista a obra de Manuel Bonfim, que representa sua superação, sendo já um predecessor da sociologia contemporânea. E com as obras de Paulo Prado, Gilberto Freyre e Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda completa a apresentação do que denomina fase da ideologia do caráter nacional brasileiro, que só terminará por volta de 1950.

The Palgrave Biographical Encyclopedia of Psychology in Latin America
This biographical encyclopedia will provide the first comprehensive reference work on leading scholars and professionals who have contributed to the development and institutionalization of psychology in Latin America. The figures biographed will include scholars who have made a significant theoretical contribution to the discipline, as well as, practitioners and those who have contributed to the institutionalization of psychology, through their work in scientific organisations, professional bodies and publications. All persons included are recognized authorities and either natives of, or long-term residents in the region. It will offer an invaluable reference point, in particular for scholars of the history of psychology, Latin American studies, the history of science, and global psychology; as well as for historians, psychologists and social scientists seeking international perspectives on the development of the discipline.
O caráter nacional brasileiro
Texto clássico para aqueles que buscam discutir o que é e qual é a identidade brasileira, envereda pela complexa busca das raízes do caráter nacional. Debruça-se, portanto sobre o pensamento, entre outros de Gilberto Freyre e Sérgio Buarque de Holanda. Texto clássico da psicologia social nacional, este livro é uma busca do que significa ser brasileiro. Para isso, Dante Moreira Leite mostra a fragilidade de qualquer estereótipo e se aventura pelos caminhos das raízes do caráter nacional. Estuda os textos iniciais da fase colonial, a literatura do romantismo, o cientificismo de Sílvio Romero, a originalidade de Euclides da Cunha e numerosos outros autores, como Nina Rodrigues, Manuel Bonfim, Gilberto Freyre, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e Caio Prado Júnior. A partir dessas referências, conclui que as ideologias existentes ligadas à definição do caráter nacional brasileiro geralmente não representam a autêntica tomada de consciência de uma nação, mas obstáculos para que um povo se torne livre de preconceitos.
Philosophy and Literature in Latin America
Philosophy and Literature in Latin America presents a unique and original view of the current state of development in Latin America of two disciplines that are at the core of the humanities. Divided into two parts, each section explores the contributions of distinguished American and Latin American experts and authors. The section on literature includes the literary activities of Latin Americans working in the United States, an area in which very little research has been demonstrated and, for that reason, will add an interesting new dimension to the field of Latin American studies.
International Psychology
While acknowledging their major debt to Europeans like Freud, Piaget, Erickson, Lewin, and Jung, American psychologists generally concentrated on developments in American psychology. And this tendency prevails in spite of the fact that innovations—in sport psychology and clinical neuropsychology, for example—have continued to come from abroad. International Psychology is a much-needed exposition of the state of psychology in forty-five countries, including the Soviet Union and the United States. Emphasizing the period from 1960 to the present, and surveying the training, research, and practice of psychologists on six continents, this volume introduces a widely dispersed network of occupa...
Envisioning Brazil
Envisioning Brazil is a comprehensive and sweeping assessment of Brazilian studies in the United States. Focusing on synthesis and interpretation and assessing trends and perspectives, this reference work provides an overview of the writings on Brazil by United States scholars since 1945. "The Development of Brazilian Studies in the United States," provides an overview of Brazilian Studies in North American universities. "Perspectives from the Disciplines" surveys the various academic disciplines that cultivate Brazilian studies: Portuguese language studies, Brazilian literature, art, music, history, anthropology, Amazonian ethnology, economics, politics, and sociology. "Counterpoints: Brazilian Studies in Britain and France" places the contributions of U.S. scholars in an international perspective. "Bibliographic and Reference Sources" offers a chronology of key publications, an essay on the impact of the digital age on Brazilian sources, and a selective bibliography.
Criminology and Criminal Policy Movements
These studies recover the historical roots of thinking that are in conflict with, and critical of, present-day tendencies. Criminological theory over the last few decades has oscillated between extremes: on one side there are calls for increasing the state exercise of punitive power as the only means of providing security, in the face of both urban and international rime; while the other side highlights the need for reducing the exercise of punitive power because of the paradoxical effects that it produces. Useful for academics, practitioners, professionals and students, this book will certainly contribute to a wider awareness in crime prevention and criminal justice.
