"Violações bárbaras: Olhares jovens" apresenta um caleidoscópio de estudos sobre jovens fluminenses de baixa renda lutando pela sobrevivência em territórios minados de dificuldades. As pesquisas reunidas examinam seus olhares a respeito da saúde, meio ambiente, moradia, violência, política, trabalho e educação em um contexto de violações, medos e inseguranças. O livro faz emergir relatos das violações bárbaras impostas às suas vidas e das dores que vivenciam em seus cotidianos, em um contemporâneo bombardeado por redes sociais através de fake news, pós-verdades e mecanismos de manipulação, fanatizado por polaridades construídas digitalmente, reforçadas pela trágica herança escravocrata brasileira.

This book presents a series of perspectives on the therapeutic potential of the ritual and clinical use of the Amazonian hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca in the treatment and management of various diseases and ailments, especially its role in psychological well-being and substance dependence. Biomedical and anthropological data on the use of ayahuasca for treating depression, PTSD, and substance dependence in different settings, such as indigenous contexts, neo-shamanic rituals, contemporary therapeutic circles, and in ayahuasca religions, in both South and North America, are presented and critiqued. Though multiple anecdotal reports on the therapeutic use of ayahuasca exist, there has been no systematic and dense reflection on the topic thus far. The book brings the therapeutic use of ayahuasca to a new level of public examination and academic debate. The texts in this volume stimulate discussion on methodological, ethical, and political aspects of research and will enhance the development of this emergent field of studies.
In 1855 Pedro Carolino set out to write an English phrasebook for Portuguese travelers visiting England. The only problem was that he couldn’t speak English. Undeterred by this minor setback, Carolino decided to base his guide on a respected Portuguese–French phrasebook written by José da Fonseca. He took the French translations of Portuguese, and used a French–English dictionary to translate those to English. The result was an unintentional comedy of literal translation, as English phrases like “the walls have ears” became “the walls have hearsay” (via the Portuguese as paredes têm ouvidos), and “waiting for someone to open the door” became “to craunch the marmoset” ...
