Em Estações de Vida e Morte, Edson Pilger Dias Sbeghen conduz os leitores por uma jornada reflexiva entrelaçando suas experiências como pesquisador, docente, psicólogo, voluntário em atividades de prevenção ao suicídio. Explorando a crescente visibilidade do tema no Brasil, após 2017, impulsionada por eventos como o jogo Baleia Azul e a série 13 Reasons Why, o autor historiciza como o ato de interromper a vida foi compreendido na sociedade ocidental ao longo dos séculos. Utilizando o método cartográfico, o autor analisa, problematiza e tensiona práticas de prevenção ao suicídio, questionando os saberes que naturalizam esse tipo de morte como consequência de adoeci-mento mental. Inspirado em Michel Foucault, destaca a importância ético-política de (re)pensar as práticas de prevenção, propondo uma sociedade mais inclusiva e potencializadora da vida. Transitando por estações, o autor propõe uma reflexão sobre os modos de existência que estrangulam a potência da vida, deixando rastros de sofrimento e desesperança. Construir estações potencializadoras de vida é uma tarefa de todos.
"Ora, é comum entre os autodenominados pensadores pós-modernos em busca de notoriedade reproduzirem (de modo velado ou explícito) ideologias que visam preservar a ordem social estabelecida". (Dr. Claudinei Luiz Chitolina – Unespar). Fascismo e ideologia traz uma visão clara sobre os problemas que as estruturas estabelecidas engendram e ampliam, num efeito retroalimentado, afligindo uma parcela gigantesca da sociedade brasileira. Problemas na conjuntura educacional ou de ordem político-democrática, as questões de gênero, de identidade e ambientais são abordadas com rigor científico e abertura dialógica impactantes. A obra oferece pontos de vistas que permitem enxergar a partir do encobrimento ideológico das armadilhas e estratégias de dominação coletivas e individuais. E como escapar ao assédio alienante? Como enfrentar forças poderosas? A obra bosqueja algumas possibilidades e alternativas que fazem a leitura valer a pena.

"A lot of hard-won knowledge is laid out here in a brief but informative way. Every topic is well referenced, with citations from both the primary literature and relevant resources from the internet." Review from Nature Chemical Biology Written by the founders of the SPARK program at Stanford University, this book is a practical guide designed for professors, students and clinicians at academic research institutions who are interested in learning more about the drug development process and how to help their discoveries become the novel drugs of the future. Often many potentially transformative basic science discoveries are not pursued because they are deemed ‘too early’ to attract indust...
This book is not concerned with the use of Freudian concepts for the interpretation of literary and artistic works. Rather, it is concerned with why this interpretation plays such an important role in demonstrating the contemporary relevance of psychoanalytic concepts. In order for Freud to use the Oedipus complex as a means for the interpretation of texts, it was necessary first of all for a particular notion of Oedipus, belonging to the Romantic reinvention of Greek antiquity, to have produced a certain idea of the power of that thought which does not think, and the power of that speech which remains silent. From this it does not follow that the Freudian unconscious was already prefigured by the aesthetic unconscious. Freud's 'aesthetic' analyses reveal instead a tension between the two forms of unconscious. In this concise and brilliant text Rancière brings out this tension and shows us what is at stake in this confrontation.
