Trata-se de obra coletiva que busca destacar as interfaces entre Democracia, Direitos Humanos e Cidadania. Toma-se como ponto de partida a noção contemporânea de democracia, que envolve, necessariamente, a valorização dos direitos humanos e do princípio da soberania popular. Esta visão aponta a necessária atenção a um conceito substantivo de democracia, que extrapola o viés formal da participação periódica na escolha de representantes, e encontra materialização no respeito à ordem jurídica e, sobretudo, na efetivação de direitos, que possibilitam o atingimento de valores como a dignidade da pessoa humana e a igualdade.
As violências de gênero contra a mulher são ocasionadas por uma valoração e tratamento desigual conferido aos gêneros feminino e masculino, dando ao homem posição de superioridade ante ao feminino. Tais violências existem há séculos, estando presente em todas as sociedades patriarcais. Na sociedade atual, apesar dos importantes avanços nas discussões sobre desigualdades de gênero, a violência contra a mulher permanece, se moldando às novas realidades. Nesse sentido, o avanço tecnológico e da internet criaram, não apenas um novo meio para denúncias e disseminação dos debates, mas também um ambiente propício para a prática das violências já conhecidas, como também d...

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
A collection of essays, interviews, and conversations by and between scholars, activists, and artists from Latin America and the Caribbean that paints a portrait of Black women's experiences across the region. Black women in Latin America and the Caribbean suffer a triple erasure: as Black people, as women, and as non-English speakers in a global environment dominated by the Anglophone North. Black Feminist Constellations is a passionate and necessary corrective. Focused on and written by Black women of the southern Americas, the original works composing this volume make legible the epistemologies that sustain radical scholarship, art, and political organizing by Black women everywhere. In e...

This is a compilation of contributions to the study of the Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente (1465–1536) which appeared between 2005 and 2015. Entries are grouped under three main headings: Editions and Adaptations, Translations, and Critical Studies. The scholarly interest in the father of the Portuguese theater continues unabated, as it can be seen in the great numbers of scholarly works, both editorial and critical, which appeared in the decade under question. The modest aim of this work is to alert scholars as to which of Gil Vicente’s works have not received adequate critical attention. New names are constantly added to the list of established vicentistas and new ways of looking at the dramatist’s works are introduced.
