O livro Vidamorte: biopolíticas em perspectiva, composto de 17 capítulos e um post scriptum, é resultado dos encontros possibilitados pelo Colóquio de mesmo nome, realizado na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais em novembro de 2019. Os capítulos deste livro percorrem os labirintos das técnicas políticas de gestão dos corpos e das populações do final do século XX e início do século XXI. Travando diálogo com autores como Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Roberto Esposito, Achille Mbembe e Giorgio Agamben, os capítulos traçam algumas linhas teóricas e práticas da produção necro(bio)política do presente. Ademais, as reflexões compiladas nesse livro tr...
O presente volume compõe a série de livros Desobediências e democracias radicais: a potência comum dos direitos que vêm, contendo textos de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores que participaram do II Seminário Internacional do grupo de pesquisa "O estado de exceção no Brasil contemporâneo" (2017). Os artigos ora publicados foram debatidos no Grupo de Trabalho Desobediência civil, que se propôs a tratar do fenômeno da desobediência civil em seus mais variados aspectos. Dentro dessa proposta há uma radicalização do tema da desobediência, com o resgate de seu significado na construção do éthos moderno e da nossa própria noção de Ocidente, bem como da práxis e das estratégias de desobediência civil em contextos revolucionários ou não, levando a discussões sobre a forma política e as possibilidades de resistência em nossa era de opressões variadas. Assim, este livro reúne tanto uma arqueologia da desobediência quanto uma sua prospectiva. Tanto uma ontologia quanto uma ético do NÃO, da luta e da resistência, tão fundamentais para os dias de hoje. Andityas Soares de Moura Costa Matos Ramon Mapa da Silva Initia via Editora
The theme arises from the legal-academic movement "Law and Literature". This newly developed field should aim at two major goals, first, to investigate the meaning of law in a social context by questioning how the characters appearing in literary works understand and behave themselves to the law (law in literature), and second, to find out a theoretical solution of the methodological question whether and to what extent the legal text can be interpreted objectively in comparison with the question how literary works should be interpreted (law as literature). The subject of justice and injustice has been covered not only in treatises of law and philosophy, but also in many works of literature: On the one hand, poets and writers have been outraged at the social conditions of their time. On the other hand, some of them have also contributed fundamental reflections on the idea of justice itself.

A bold new account of the movement and its contribution to political theory.
Writing at the time of political and social crisis in Athens, Aristophanes was an eloquent yet bawdy challenger to the demagogue and the sophist. The Achanians is a plea for peace set against the background of the long war with Sparta.
This new book by the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito addresses the profound crisis of contemporary politics and examines some of the philosophical approaches that have been used to try to understand and go beyond this crisis. Two approaches have been particularly influential – one indebted to the thought of Martin Heidegger, the other indebted to Gilles Deleuze. While opposed in their political thrust and orientation, both approaches remain trapped within the political ontology that has framed our conceptual language for some time. In order to move beyond this political ontology, Esposito turns to a third approach that he characterizes as ‘instituting thought’. Indebted to the wor...
