A Poética do Encontro com Elaine Pedreira Rabinovich
O livro A poética do encontro com Elaine Pedreira Rabinovich representa um momento de dupla celebração: traz uma síntese ilustrativa do trabalho realizado pelo grupo de pesquisa Família, (Auto)Biografia e Poética ao longo de mais de uma década e homenageia sua líder em seus lindos e efervescentes 80 anos de idade. A trajetória do grupo é anunciada, a partir da poética, compreendida esta como pertença a uma comunidade humana, como transcendência do aqui e agora, como inovação. O método autoetnográfico e colaborativo é a marca da grande maioria dos estudos aqui apresentados. Este livro compreende quatro partes, nas quais alguns temas são recorrentes: a memória, a busca de compreensão das raízes do Brasil pelas lentes do estudo de ancestralidades, temas relevantes que traduzem uma abordagem interdisciplinar no campo de estudos da família. Para além do registro da experiência viva de um grupo de pesquisa muito produtivo, sua leitura interessará de perto a estudiosos de diversos campos: psicologia, socioantropologia, história, educação, saúde.
Living in Poverty
This book covers the results of investigation of social realities and their public representation in Brazilian poor communities, with a particular emphasis on the use of cultural tools to survive and create psychological and social novelty under conditions of severe poverty. A relevant part of it brings together the multi-faceted evidence of a decade of research concentrated in two particular low-income areas in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. Other studies conducted in other Brazilian areas and in Cali, Colombia are included. In contrast to most representations of poverty in the social sciences which create a “calamity story” of the lives of poor people, the coverage in this book is meant to balance the focus on harsh realities with the cultural-psychological resiliency of individuals and families under poverty.
Cultural Dynamics of Women's Lives
This book explores the diverse landscapes wherein women struggle for their personal and social identities and lives, between biology and culture, destiny and choice, shared and individual worlds, tradition and modernity. Their “peripheral lives” have “central meaning” (Chaudhary, this volume) in any society – and as such are approached as a primary subject in this book, as the chapters traverse ten different countries on three continents: North America (United States); Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Colombia); Asia (India); and Europe (United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, Estonia). Throughout these different places, women's lives are an interesting stage for observing the int...
Progress(es), Theories and Practices
The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) - Progress(es) - Theories and Practices were compiled with the intent to establish a platform for the presentation, interaction and dissemination of research. It aims also to foster the awareness of and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus on different progress visions and readings relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design, Engineering, Social and Natural Sciences, Technology and their importance and benefits for the community at large. Considering that the idea of progress is a major matrix for development, its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts.
Housing Policy Matters
This book unifies housing policy by integrating industrialized and developing-country interventions in the housing sector into a comprehensive global framework. One hundred indicators are used to compare housing policies and conditions in 53 countries. Statistical analysis confirms that--after accounting for economic development--enabling housing policies result in improved housing conditions.
Nascer não é igual para todas as pessoas
O livro reúne estudos realizados, durante 15 anos, por um grupo de pesquisa, em torno da mais universal e partilhada das realidades humanas: o nascer. A obra é dividida em quatro seções temáticas e cada uma possui capítulos-comentários feitos por pesquisadoras convidadas. Os comentários, além de romperem com a tendência endógena, representam a abertura para outras perspectivas e questões e contemplam uma função avaliativa. Assim, o livro interessa a leitoras e leitores que lidam com o nascer, a maternidade e a paternidade. Interessa a quem pesquisa, a quem atua na atenção à saúde e no cuidado de famílias e a quem pensa a questão da mulher, cuja voz fala mais alto ao longo dos estudos.
Poetry And Imagined Worlds
This book explores the deep, imaginative, and creative power of poetry as part of the human experience. How poetry provides insight into human psychology is a question at the beginning of its theoretical development, and is a constant challenge for cultural psychologists and the humanities alike. Poetry functions, in all ages and cultures, as a rite that merges the beauty, truth and the unbearable conditions of existence. Both the general and the particular can be found in its expression. Collectively the authors aim to evoke a holistic understanding of what poetry conveys about decision making and the human search for meaning. This ground-breaking collection will be indispensable to scholars of clinical and theoretical psychology, philosophy, anthropology, literature, aesthetics and sociology.
Beside One's Self
What is it to feel homeless? How does it feel to be without the orienting geography of home? Going beyond homelessness as a housing issue, this book uniquely explores the embodied, emotional experiences of homelessness. In doing so, Robinson reveals much about existing gaps in service responses, in community perceptions, and in the ways in which homelessness most often becomes visible as a problem for policy makers. She argues that the emotional dimension of displacement must be central to contemporary practices of researching, understanding, writing, and responding to homelessness. She situates the issue of homelessness at the nexus of important, broader intellectual and methodological deve...
Tornar-se negrogay
As diversidades sempre estiveram presentes na nossa sociedade. Nos últimos anos, com o aumento de garantias de direitos, percebemos que a diversidade sexual ocupa espaços no campo educacional que não imaginávamos, mas sabemos que as discussões e as reflexões são, ainda, muito incipientes. Para criar veredas de inclusão, os escritos de Antonio José de Souza são um diálogo potente e sensível sobre a identidade de professores negros gays do Nordeste do Brasil. Homens atravessados por estigmas, preconceitos e discriminações, e profundamente sensíveis às violências direcionadas aos seus corpos, quase sempre desde a infância. São diversos os dilemas que vagueiam pela mente do pr...
