As an archaeologist, anthropologist, scholar, educator, and program evaluator for the U.S. State Department during the early Cold War era, Dr. Isabel T. Kelly’s (1906–1983) career presents a distinctive vantage point on the evolving landscape of U.S. foreign policy, Mexican rural welfare initiatives, and the discipline of anthropology. Her trajectory illuminates a shift toward pragmatic, culturally sensitive approaches in technical assistance programs for Mexico’s rural areas, departing from traditional U.S.-centric developmental paradigms. Kelly’s transition from a prominent archaeologist to a key figure in applied anthropology is meticulously chronicled, unveiling her pivotal role ...
Women filmmakers in Mexico were rare until the 1980s and 1990s, when women began to direct feature films in unprecedented numbers. Their films have won acclaim at home and abroad, and the filmmakers have become key figures in contemporary Mexican cinema. In this book, Elissa Rashkin documents how and why women filmmakers have achieved these successes, as she explores how the women's movement, film studies programs, governmental film policy, and the transformation of the intellectual sector since the 1960s have all affected women's filmmaking in Mexico. After a historical overview of Mexican women's filmmaking from the 1930s onward, Rashkin focuses on the work of five contemporary directors—Marisa Sistach, Busi Cortés, Guita Schyfter, María Novaro, and Dana Rotberg. Portraying the filmmakers as intellectuals participating in the public life of the nation, Rashkin examines how these directors have addressed questions of national identity through their films, replacing the patriarchal images and stereotypes of the classic Mexican cinema with feminist visions of a democratic and tolerant society.

Abordando-se os principais temas desenvolvidos pela doutrina especializada, pátria e alienígena, e comumente presentes na prática jurisprudencial, procura-se revisitar criticamente os pontos vitais e polêmicos que envolvem a preclusão.São costuradas as noções fundamentais do instituto, a partir de uma primeira aproximação da preclusão com o fenômeno processual moderno, na sequência , a exposição das ricas peculiaridades da utilização da técnica preclusiva frente ao Estado-juiz e às partes.
O objetivo da presente obra previdenciária foi traçar as principais questões (de direito material e processual) relacionadas ao tema da concessão de um benefício por incapacidade junto ao INSS (auxílio-doença, auxílio-acidente ou aposentadoria por invalidez), sendo indicada, sempre que possível, uma solução lógica e plausível para as inúmeras situações práticas ventiladas, inclusive de acordo com o ordenamento constitucional. Grandes referências da doutrina especializada e relevantes julgados foram destacados a fim de que o leitor, mesmo o menos familiarizado com a problemática, compreenda de forma clara como os pontos estão sendo tratados no estado da arte. O livro pretende contribuir fortemente com a discussão no campo previdenciário, aproveitando, nesse contexto, o especial carinho do autor pela temática dos acidentes de trabalho, que diariamente o ocupam na advocacia, e a sua sólida formação jurídica em processo civil.
A presente obra, que apresentamos agora à comunidade jurídica, é fruto de compilação de uma dezena de ensaios, específicos à temática, produzidos pelo autor entre 2010-2012. Percebe-se que, na maioria desses trabalhos, discute-se a relevância e a possível relativização do instituto da preclusão- tema fundamental do processo civil e matéria de especial dedicação do autor.
