Design for Vulnerable Communities

This book aims to provide bases for reasoning on what challenges urban-architectural design for vulnerable communities will face in the coming years. Several issues, such as technological development, climate change, political crisis and economic uncertainties show as traditional strategies and methodologies are not sufficient to deeply solve the problems of these complex realities. These new changes, which are studied in different fields of knowledge, highlight the fact that the development of effective solutions must be characterized by multidisciplinary approaches and must be based on strategies promoted by different disciplines. For this reason, this contributed volume collects contribut...

Sustainable Tools for Precarious Times

This collection promises to be a cornerstone in the field of performance studies and human rights activism. By mixing scholarly chapters with artists’ manifestos or “interruptions” it promotes the idea of the collective work between academia and social movements.

Love and the Politics of Care

This edited volume offers a contemporary rethinking of the relationship between love and care in the context of neoliberal practices of professionalization and work. Each of the book's three sections interrogates a particular site of care, where the affective, political, legal, and economic dimensions of care intersect in challenging ways. These sites are located within a variety of institutionally managed contexts such as the contemporary university, the theatre hall, the prison complex, the family home, the urban landscape, and the care industry. The geographical spread of the case studies stretches across India, Vietnam, Sweden, Brazil, South Africa, the UK and the US and provides broad c...

Música Extrema: ruídos, imagens e sentidos

“Precisamos saudar esse livro, que dá continuidade aos Diálogos com a música extrema, de 2021, por trazer à baila um estilo de música que, de algum modo, podemos considerar como ‘marginal’, como ‘alternativo’, que engaja seus praticantes e amantes de modo intenso, visceral, como é a própria música produzida. Este livro nos provoca, nos incita, ao transitar por essas perturbações sonoras que não nos deixam parados, indiferentes”. (Sílvio Gallo, trecho do prefácio)
