“Nos últimos dez anos, experimentamos no Brasil uma significativa expansão de formas associativas de produção habitacional, impulsionadas pela criação de uma política federal de financiamento direto a associações de famílias interessadas em autogerir seus próprios empreendimentos. Tal política teve início com o Programa Crédito Solidário em 2004, seguido, a partir de 2009, pelo Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida Entidades. As experiências reunidas nessa publicação nos aproximam desse universo de práticas associativas, com base numa pesquisa exploratória em cinco estados do país, cujo ponto de partida foi a busca do caráter inovador das experiências, seja no âmbito dos projetos arquitetônico-urbanísticos, das tecnologias de gestão participativa ou ainda, das tecnologias construtivas.” Luciana Corrêa do Lago
A cross-cultural volume that investigates the question of how social minorities are formed
In a groundbreaking book that challenges many assumptions about gender and politics in the French Revolution, Suzanne Desan offers an insightful analysis of the ways the Revolution radically redefined the family and its internal dynamics. She shows how revolutionary politics and laws brought about a social revolution within households and created space for thousands of French women and men to reimagine their most intimate relationships. Families negotiated new social practices, including divorce, the reduction of paternal authority, egalitarian inheritance for sons and daughters alike, and the granting of civil rights to illegitimate children. Contrary to arguments that claim the Revolution ...
This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical m...

La historia de la familia como campo de investigación nació a principios de los años sesenta del siglo XX y desde entonces ha experimentado una importante evolución que ha modificado tanto su contenido como su orientación. Esta obra colectiva ofrece un balance de este ámbito de estudio en España y en varios países europeos incidiendo en sus particulares avances, así como en la riqueza y en la diversidad de sus enfoques actuales. Con la intención de fomentar el intercambio de planteamientos y de la transmisión de conocimientos referidos a diferentes territorios, el libro presenta una amplia muestra de experiencias de investigación entre los siglos XVI y XIX que constituyen una excelente expresión del desarrollo de la historia social en Europa a partir de los estudios de historia de la familia. La mayor atención prestada a la dimensión social de los fenómenos que concurren en ella ha supuesto multiplicar su potencialidad para la explicación y comprensión de las sociedades del pasado, contribuyendo de manera decisiva a la renovación y al impulso de nuevas formas de hacer historia dentro del panorama historiográfico internacional.
