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...

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...

Autoeducação, práticas formativas e relações de gênero numa Cooperativa de Catadoras/es de Materiais Recicláveis
Resultado de uma rigorosa pesquisa, Autoeducação, práticas formativas e relações de gênero numa Cooperativa de Catadoras/es de Materiais Recicláveis, de Bruna Oliveira Martins, debruça-se sobre a análise de um setor da classe trabalhadora precarizado, em especial, colocando em perspectiva a formação educacional e as relações de gênero. A submissão das mulheres é prática observada desde os tempos mais remotos, em praticamente todas as sociedades, que cumpre uma função socioeconômica. Ao mesmo tempo também se observa a resistência e a luta das mulheres contra a subordinação e pela igualdade. No caso da Cooperativa, por meio de atividades de autoeducação e de práticas formativas, as/os trabalhadoras/es conseguiram refletir sobre as relações de gênero. As mulheres catadoras passaram a se reconhecer como trabalhadoras iguais aos homens e a questionar o acúmulo de funções destinadas a elas, tanto dentro quanto fora do empreendimento. Convido as pessoas interessadas no debate sobre a temática à leitura desta obra, pois se trata de um estudo significativo e relevante, especialmente no atual cenário político brasileiro.
