Democratizing the State
Democratic institution-building experiences, innovative forms of social organization, and the development of multiple state-society interfaces represent a significant political phenomenon in Latin America in the last half-century. By comparing the two largest countries of the subcontinent, Brazil and Mexico, Democratizing the State examines social accountability and social control regimes. These regimes are conceived configurations of relationships between actors, organizational structures, norms, and resources, all arranged in a stable and institutionalized manner to exert social control over state actors and functions. The book addresses the contrasting characteristics and different functions through which the citizenry and civil society exert control over state action in both countries. Characterizing these experiences broadly as regimes is novel and enlightening regarding the work of practitioners and scholars on political participation, social accountability, and democracy in the global South and the global North.
Direito, Estado e Sociedade
Direito, Estado e Sociedade são palavras gordas, para utilizarmos uma expressão encontrada em um diálogo da obra Maíra, do saudoso Darcy Ribeiro. A literatura, como se exemplifica, é uma arte que muito bem sintetiza os sentimentos e as relações da sociedade. É certo que a ideia de que algumas palavras têm um peso superior a outras demandaria uma discussão sobre os discursos, mais bem encaminhada no campo da linguística. Não obstante, essa ideia na contemporaneidade pode ser uma chave de leitura importante para a compreensão de algumas questões ainda abertas no campo jurídico, que são permeadas por sua interseccionalidade com outros campos. A isso se soma o fato de que as três palavras do título da coletânea, quando agrupadas, ganham ainda mais peso e podem direcionar muito a discussão que se realiza. Em Direito, Estado e Sociedade: intersecções, os textos se relacionam com essa temática central, sob várias perspectivas, mas direcionadas por aquele fio condutor.
ArtCurious
A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how ...

Alterity and the Evasion of Justice
As a contribution to the Fortress series on World Christianity as Public Religion, this volume delves into questions of religious alterity and justice in World Christianity. This volumeasks what histories, practices, or identities have been left invisible in the field of World Christianity, and emphasizes liberationist concerns to consider what the field has overlooked or misrepresented. It recognizes that World Christianity scholarship has elevated voices of marginalized Christians from the Global South and challenged Eurocentric modes in the study of religion, but scholars of World Christianity must also attend to the margins of the field itself. Attention to the overlooked "other" within ...
