Brazil and the United States during World War II and Its Aftermath
The military alliance between the United States and Brazil played a critical role in the outcome of World War II, and yet it is largely overlooked in historiography of the war. In this definitive account, Frank McCann investigates Brazilian-American military relations from the 1930s through the years after the alliance ended in 1977. The two countries emerge as imbalanced giants with often divergent objectives and expectations. They nevertheless managed to form the Brazilian Expeditionary Force and a fighter squadron that fought in Italy under American command, making Brazil the only Latin American country to commit troops to the war. With the establishment of the US Air Force base in Natal, Northeast Brazil become a vital staging area for air traffic supplying Allied forces in the Middle East and Asian theaters. McCann deftly analyzes newly opened Brazilian archives and declassified American intelligence files to offer a more nuanced account of how this alliance changed the course of World War II, and how the relationship deteriorated in the aftermath of the war.
A Political Psychology Approach to Militancy and Prefigurative Activism
This book frames a series of protests occurred in Brazil from 2013 to 2016 as exemplary cases of global trends in contentious politics to analyze the tension between two forms of collective action: the militant (militante) and the prefigurative activist (ativista). Building on sociology, political science, and psychology, it explores the relationship between protestors' activities and conceptions of political participation with their subjectivity and agency. The protest cycle triggered by the June 2013 events in Brazil gave strength and popularity to repertoires and strategies of collective action uncommon and innovative. Those praxes defied political parties' conventions, highlighted the li...
Autobiografia
Autobiografia împletește realitatea cu ficțiunea într-un joc al oglinzilor ce pune față-n față doi mari scriitori: José Saramago și José Luís Peixoto În Lisabona anilor ’90, drumul unui tânăr scriitor aflat în plină criză existențială – similară celei pe care a trăit-o Peixoto însuși – se intersectează cu cel al unui mare scriitor mai vârstnic: José Saramago. Din relația celor doi se naște această poveste, în care granițele dintre ficțiune și autobiografie se diluează până la dispariție. José Luís Peixoto explorează în acest joc de oglinzi absolut unic creația literară și frontiera translucidă dintre viață și literatură. În același ti...
Policing Sport Mega-Events
Security has become one of the most important aspects of sport mega-event organisation. This book explores how Rio de Janeiro was imagined and transformed into a security fortress when the 2014 Men's World Cup and the 2016 Olympics came to the city and how the fortress was nonetheless permeable and porous. Dennis Pauschinger experienced exceptional backstage access at high level in the Brazilian mega-event security architecture as well as at street level with the local public security sphere. His ethnographic account takes us from the hidden world of surveillance and control centres, to the security perimeters around stadiums, and to the mundane routine of police officers during day and nigh...
Brazilian Mangroves and Salt Marshes
This book offers a new ecosystemic approach to the understanding of mangrove and salt marsh ecosystems. Brazil has one of the largest areas of mangroves in the world, where salt marshes might or might not be associated. Different landscapes comprise the extensive coastline, where mangrove and salt marsh species’ composition is discussed through the analysis of physiography, zonation, and succession processes. Both salt marsh and mangrove plants and the associated macroalgae will be characterized in their ecophysiological and phenological aspects, as well as genetic and epigenetic diversity. The chapters on microbial diversity and litterfall expose the well-known importance of these ecosystems as highly productive carbon sinks and pumps. The associated fauna of invertebrates (benthic meio and macrofaunas, especially brachyuran crabs) and vertebrates (fishes, birds, and mammals) are presented in a special section. The conservational approach encompasses issues, such as historical ecology, economic valuation, protected areas, environmental education, climate changes, and adaptive management.
Handbook of Research on Gamification Dynamics and User Experience Design
In todays digital society, organizations must utilize technology in order to engage their audiences. Innovative game-like experiences are an increasingly popular way for businesses to interact with their customers; however, correctly implementing this technology can be a difficult task. To ensure businesses have the appropriate information available to successfully utilize gamification in their daily activities, further study on the best practices and strategies for implementation is required. The Handbook of Research on Gamification Dynamics and User Experience Design considers the importance of gamification in the context of organizations improvements and seeks to investigate game design from the experience of the user by providing relevant academic work, empirical research findings, and an overview of the field of study. Covering topics such as digital ecosystems, distance learning, and security awareness, this major reference work is ideal for policymakers, technology developers, managers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Fascismo pandémico
Aproximadamente 100 años tras la eclosión de la gripe española y del surgimiento del fascismo en Italia, el mundo ve a la historia resonar. Una pandemia llamada coronavirus se propaga por el mundo dejando un rastro de enfermos, muertos y desamparados económicamente, pero tan chocante cuanto el impacto biológico es el impacto social. Tal vez aún más grave que la propia molestia física, es el surgimiento de un desorden colectivo psíquico, que tiene varios componentes de una infección: la diseminación de la infecciosa ideología del odio. La idea de este ensayo surge de la ambivalencia de las ideologías y del alboroto que la mayoría suele ser. Derechistas, izquierdistas, liberales ...
