Observar a Comunicação e o Jornalismo – na sua relação com as redes sociais na internet, as comunidades que se constroem nestas mesmas redes, a vivência dos espaços urbanos ou os cuidados com a saúde em um tempo pré e pós pandemia, os usos políticos voltados a projetos eleitorais – é desafio que requer pesquisas com novas abordagens. Esse novíssimo ecossistema é uma infraestrutura na qual não há instituição única no comando, mas na qual credibilidade é disputada em vários debates públicos, confrontos judiciais e discussões políticas. Neste livro, integrantes do GT 19 – Comunicação Digital, Redes e Processos da Associação Latinoamericana de Investigadores em Comunicação (Alaic) buscam examinar os diversos objetos de estudo nesse cenário em contínua metamorfose, no qual a Comunicação Digital se consolida como parte ativa dos imaginários das sociedades contemporâneas.
The Amazon basin is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Not only is the old-growth rainforests in the basin huge carbon storage with about 120 billion metric tons of carbon in their biomass, but they also process annually twice the rate of global anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions through respiration and photosynthesis. In addition, the basin is the largest global repository of biodiversity and produces about 20 percent of the world s flow of fresh water into the oceans. Despite the large CO2 efflux from recent deforestation, the Amazon rainforest is still considered to be a net carbon sink or reservoir because vegetation growth on average exceeds mortality. However, current climate...
The Health Psychology Reader is designed to complement and support the recent textbook Health Psychology: Theory, Research and Practice by David F. Marks, Michael Murray, Brian Evans and Carla Willig (SAGE, 2000). It can also be used as a stand-alone resource given its didactic nature.

Clemens sheds new light on how farmers, workers, and women invented strategies to circumvent the parties. Voters learned to monitor legislative processes, to hold their representatives accountable at the polls, and to institutionalize their ongoing participation in shaping policy. Closely analyzing the organizational politics in three states -- California, Washington, and Wisconsin -- she demonstrates how the political opportunity structure of federalism allowed regional innovations to exert leverage on national political institutions.

Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws on an immense theoretical literature in analytic philosophy, linguistics, sociology, semiology, and anthropology--to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.
Michel Foucault examines the archeology of madness in the West from 1500 to 1800 - from the late Middle Ages, when insanity was still considered part of everyday life and fools and lunatics walked the streets freely, to the time when such people began to be considered a threat, asylums were first built, and walls were erected between the "insane" and the rest of humanity.
