Communication in the public sphere as well as within organizational contexts has attracted the interest of researchers over the past century. Current forms of citizen engagement and community development, partly enabled through digital communication, have further enhanced the visibility and relevance of non-profit communication. These are performed by the civil society, which is 'the organized expression of the values and interests of society' (Castells, 2008) in the public sphere. Non-profit communication feeds the public sphere as 'the discursive processes in a complex network of persons, institutionalized associations and organizations,' whereas those 'discourses are a civilized way of di...
O I Encontro Internacional de Pesquisa em Ciências Humanas teve como objetivo principal proporcionar um espaço de debate e intercâmbio de conhecimento gerado por pesquisas voltadas a interdisciplinaridade nas áreas de Ciências Humanas e Sociais. O evento parte do princípio da ausência de discussões e espaço de contato que permitam a troca produtiva de conhecimento entre profissionais da ciências humanas. Entendemos como propósito do evento agregar, incluir toda e qualquer forma de contribuição científica e acadêmica no âmbito das ciências humanas, mais precisamente no campo interdisciplinar, pretendendo ampliar a análise de cada elemento individual e buscar o parecer especifico de sua especialidade.
Cada vez mais os processos estruturais ganham espaço de discussão no Brasil para servir a tutela dos mais variados direitos. Levando em consideração a problemática histórica relacionada ao direito à moradia, cujas causas se devem principalmente aos influxos da financeirização da moradia e de políticas públicas que mantêm esse status quo, busca-se explorar de que modo o processo estrutural pode auxiliar na proteção desse direito. A judicialização do direito à moradia adequada, tal como ocorre tradicionalmente com os direitos sociais, é normalmente feito por uma tutela negativa, por meio de um processo individual, encarando-se o litígio, seja qual for sua característica, co...
This clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program). Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in...

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
For decades, Milton Santos (1926-2001) has been considered one of the most influential thinkers in Brazilian and Latin American social sciences and geography. Yet his writings, most of which have not been translated into English, are largely unknown to European and North American audiences. This book introduces English-speaking scholars to Professor Santos through critical engagement with his ideas and writings. The chapters presented here reveal the breadth and originality of his critical thought, as well as its ongoing importance to contemporary debates. The book features a biography of Santos and includes an annotated translation of one of his most-cited texts, The Return of the Territory...
By understanding the ontogenesis of NGOs as civil society organizations from a historical-anthropological, communicational, sociological, economical and managerial perspective, Evandro Oliveira outlines the Instigatory Theory of NGO Communication (ITNC). This proposes the ontological principles, an applied conceptual model and a cybernetic operational model for understanding and managing communication at NGOs. Those models were tested using a mixed-method research design.
