Som, Montagem e Fotografia: Colonialidades e Regionalismos
Os artigos deste segundo volume da Coleção Temas procuram estabelecer diálogo entre os estudos sobre som, montagem e a fotografia do cinema no Brasil e na América Latina, tão relevantes na análise da narrativa cinematográfica e audiovisual. Por quase setenta anos a questão do som no cinema foi tratada como sendo secundária no campo teórico. A montagem e a fotografia tampouco mereceram projetos e estudos de fôlego. É na montagem que o filme se revela, dizia Fellini.
Letras e artes
Neste segundo volume de "Letras e Artes: afinidades de trajetórias investigativas", a Editora Dialética traz artigos de pesquisadores/as de diversas áreas artísticas, propondo a ampliação do entendimento do que chamamos de linguagem. Seja sobre Literatura, Cinema, Teatro ou Artes Plásticas, obra e autor, assim como objeto e pesquisador/a, estão cocriando um lugar próprio, uma entidade processual de reflexão que perscruta instâncias de estruturação do self, tais como o pertencimento. Os artigos deste volume nos guiam, abrindo ramificações de direções e sentidos que, por vezes, encontram-se, tangenciam suas margens, criam intercessões ou mesmo distanciam-se, desembocando em novas linhas de investigação. Eles fornecem um espelho de boa dimensão de profundidade para nossas reflexões.
Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.

Inventing Cinema
With machines mediating most of our cultural practices, and innovations, obsolescence and revivals constantly transforming our relation with images and sounds, media feel more unstable than ever. But was there ever a "stable" moment in media history? Inventing Cinema proposes to approach this question through an archaeology and an epistemology of media machines. The archaeology analyses them as archives of users' gestures, as well as of modes of perception. The epistemology reconstructs the problems that the machines' designers and users have strived to solve, and the network of concepts they have elaborated to understand these problems. Drawing on the philosophy of technology and anthropology, Inventing Cinema argues that networks of gestures, problems, perception and concepts are inscribed in vision machines, from the camera obscura to the stereoscope, the Cinématographe, and digital cinema. The invention of cinema is ultimately seen as an ongoing process irreducible to a single moment in history.

The Pepper Wreck
An account of the history and evacuation of the Portuguese merchant ship, Nossa Senhora dos Martires, sunk at the mouth of the Tagus River in 1606.
NATO and Eastern Europe After 2000
NATO is acutely aware of its increased status as a force for stability in a drastically altered Atlantic community. The number of its initiatives is on the increase just as a new political, economic and military Europe emerges. The Cold War's end has wrought as many changes as there are continuities in the security environment. Eastern and Central European states, especially NATO and PfP members, enjoy an increasing importance to NATO, both as trading partners and as new participants in the civil society. While the literature on relations between NATO and the East Europeans is rather limited, the study of the overall posture of those states in the international system is almost non-existent,...
Mozambique on the Move
Being a first of its kind, this volume comprises a multi-disciplinary exploration of Mozambique’s contemporary and historical dynamics, bringing together scholars from across the globe. Focusing on the country’s vibrant cultural, political, economic and social world – including the transition from the colonial to the postcolonial era – the book argues that Mozambique is a country still emergent, still unfolding, still on the move. Drawing on the disciplines of history, literature studies, anthropology, political science, economy and art history, the book serves not only as a generous introduction to Mozambique but also as a case study of a southern African country. Contributors are: Signe Arnfred, Bjørn Enge Bertelsen, José Luís Cabaço, Ana Bénard da Costa, Anna Maria Gentili, Ana Margarida Fonseca, Randi Kaarhus, Sheila Pereira Khan, Maria Paula Meneses, Lia Quartapelle, Amy Schwartzott, Leonor Simas-Almeida, Anne Sletsjøe, Sandra Sousa, Linda van de Kamp.
Fluid Networks and Hegemonic Powers in the Western Indian Ocean
The present volume sets forth to analyse illustrative aspects of the deep-rooted immersion of the populations of the eastern coasts of Africa in the vast network of commercial, cultural and religious interactions that extend to the Middle-East and the Indian subcontinent, as well as the long-time involvement of various exogenous military, administrative and economic powers (Ottoman, Omani, Portuguese, Dutch, British, French and, more recently, European-Americans).
