Queering and Querying the Paradise of Paradox
This book provides readers with a study of the characteristics that make life unique for sexual minorities in Brazil while also viewing Brazil in relation to global LGBT sociopolitical movements. It critically assesses the complex relationship(s) between the visual arts and political activism, carefully analyzing artistic, cinematic, and photographic representations of LGBTQ identities. Brazil provides a useful case to example, with the cultivation of ambiguity in contemporary (re)constructions of queer life. In this book, the author conducts the first comprehensive discourse analysis of the dynamics and features of the largest LGBT Pride Parade in the world. This problematizes and analyzes ...
Quando migrar é a última alternativa: o refúgio por questões de gênero
O livro de Fernando Rodrigues da Motta Bertoncello “QUANDO MIGRAR É A ÚLTIMA ALTERNATIVA: o refúgio por questões de gênero”, que agora vem à luz pela Editora Thoth, é indubitavelmente uma das melhores teses produzidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito Político e Econômico da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (UPM). Fernando se encantou pela questão migratória ainda no Mestrado, ao cursar disciplina que ministrei. Então, no Doutorado, ousou sair de sua “zona de conforto”, para enfrentar um dos aspectos mais delicados do refúgio, apesar das tantas advertências em sentido contrário e, graças ao foco com que realiza as atividades a que se propõe e à seriedade de seu trabalho, obteve aprovação com distinção e louvor, o máximo reconhecimento possível na UPM.
Superendividamento dos Consumidores de Boa-Fé
O severo desequilíbrio econômico de aproximadamente 30 milhões de brasileiros ensejou a edição da Lei Federal n.o 14.181/2021, pois o nosso País não mais poderia continuar ignorando a necessidade de disciplinar a prevenção e o tratamento de tão sério e lastimável problema. Torna-se importante compreender, de modo crítico, o superendividamento e, neste livro, constam observações sobre o seu conceito, as suas características, espécies e causas. Os novos princípios, direitos básicos, práticas e cláusulas abusivas, inseridos no microssistema consumerista pela novel legislação, também são objeto de análise. O diferencial desta obra pode ser constatado sob quatro fundamen...
Coronavirus Politics
COVID-19 is the most significant global crisis of any of our lifetimes. The numbers have been stupefying, whether of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures, or the economic consequences of shutdown. Coronavirus Politics identifies key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. Editors Scott L. Greer, Elizabeth J. King, Elize Massard da Fonseca, and André Peralta-Santos bring together over 30 authors versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons. The book’s coverage is global, with a wide range of key and exemplary countries, and contains a mixture of comparative, thematic, and templated country studies. All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book.
Vulnerabilidades e suas dimensões jurídicas
"Por meio da identificação dos sujeitos vulneráveis e dos mecanismos de tutela, por força do comando da isonomia substancial acalentado no desenho solidarista constitucional que marca o atual estágio democrático do Estado brasileiro, vivencia-se um período sem precedentes de humanização do Direito e da concreta percepção de suas novas funções. Um ordenamento jurídico que não tem por fim o reforço e manutenção do sistema de dominação social, racial e de gênero e preservação do status quo do poder estabelecido, mas atento à realidade de desigualdades e voltado ao efetivo enfrentamento das relações assimétricas que permitem a subordinação e a subjugação dos grupos...
Regulating Pesticides in Food
Concern about health effects from exposure to pesticides in foods is growing as scientists learn more about the toxic properties of pesticides. The Delaney Clause, a provision of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, prohibits tolerances for any pesticide that causes cancer in test animals or in humans if the pesticide concentrates in processed food or feeds. This volume examines the impacts of the Delaney Clause on agricultural innovation and on the public's dietary exposure to potentially carcinogenic pesticide residues. Four regulatory scenarios are described to illustrate the effects of varying approaches to managing oncogenic pesticide residues in food.
The Court Artist in Seventeenth-Century Italy
Up to now the theme of the artist in the service of Italian courts has been examined in various studies focused mostly on the High Renaissance, as though the phenomenon was relevant only to the XV and XVI centuries. It actually lasted much longer, spanning the whole longue durée of the lives of the courts of the ancient regime. The present volume intends to fill this gap, presenting for the first time a comprehensive examination of the subject of the court artist from sixteenth to seventeenth century and the transformations of this role. “Court artist” is here defined as one who received a regular salary, and was therefore attached to the court by a more or less exclusive service relationship. The book is divided in six chapters: each of them examines the position of the court artist in the service of the most important ruling families in Italy (the Savoy in Turin, the Gonzaga in Mantua, the Este in Modena, the Della Rovere in Pesaro and Urbino, the Medici in Florence) and in papal Rome, a particular and unique center of power.
