É composta por dez artigos que nos levam a refletir sobre as diversas facetas das tutelas jurídicas no contexto negocial, bem como a necessidade de flexibilização normativa para manutenção do contrato e preservação da empresa.
Transdisciplinaridade na sociedade de consumo
A sociedade de consumo é reflexo dos avanços categorizados pelo capitalismo, notadamente pela Revolução Industrial, pelas transformações trazidas por eventos disruptivos como as Guerras Mundiais, sobretudo pelo processo de globalização, responsável por reconfigurar e provocar a descentralização e a expansão industrial, com destaque para a nanotecnologia. O reverso dessas transformações emerge nas ações cotidianas individualizadas no consumo, na efemeridade das relações sociais e na descartabilidade dos produtos, dentre os quais o plástico. O trabalho dissertativo apresenta uma digressão com abordagem ilustrativa sobre a valorização dos objetos, a sucumbência das tradições de segurança e durabilidade dos produtos e do advento da moda como propulsores ao universo da hipermodernidade caracterizado pelo hiperconsumo, pela efemeridade dos objetos e pela potencialização da individualidade.

Cultural Transfer and Political Conflicts
Film festivals during the Cold War were fraught with the political and social tensions that dominated the world at the time. While film was becoming an increasingly powerful medium, the European festivals in particular established themselves as showcases for filmmakers and their perceptions of reality. At the same time, their prestigious, international character attracted the interest of states and private players. The history of these festivals thus sheds light not only on the films they made available to various publics, but on the cultural policies and political processes that informed their operations. Presenting new research by an international group of younger scholars, Cultural Transfer and Political Conflicts critically investigates postwar history in the context of film festivals reconstructing not only their social background and international dispensation, but also their centrality for cultural transfers between the East, the West and the South during the Cold War.
The Central Amazon Floodplain
Floodplains are ecosystems which are driven by periodic inundation and oscillation between terrestrial and aquatic phases. An understanding of such pulsing systems is only possible by studying both phases and linking the results into an integrated overview. This book presents the results of a 15-year study of the structure and function of one of the largest tropical floodplains, the Amazon River floodplain. It covers qualitative aspects, e.g., adaptations of aquatic and terrestrial organisms to the flood pulse as well as quantitative aspects, e.g., studies of biomass, primary production, decomposition, and nutrient cycles. The authors interpret their findings and the most important data from other studies under an integrating scientific concept, the Flood Pulse Concept.
Environmental Protection and Management
The environment is degraded due to various reasons such as population growth, pollution, overconsumption, etc. The practices aimed at conserving and reducing these risks within the environment fall under environmental protection. Environmental management is a dynamic concept which is concerned with the management of environment using different tools and techniques such as environmental accounting, policy, auditing etc. Some of the goals of environmental protection are ensuring sustainable use of resources, conserving biological diversity, controlling land degradation, etc. The primary approaches to environmental protection and management are voluntary and international environmental agreements, and ecosystems approach. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. For all those who are interested in environmental protection and management, this textbook can prove to be an essential guide.
Redefining Nature
- How can anthropology improve our understanding of the interrelationship between nature and culture? - What can anthropology contribute to practical debates which depend on particular definitions of nature, such as that concerning sustainable development? Humankind has evolved over several million years by living in and utilizing 'nature' and by assimilating it into 'culture'. Indeed, the technological and cultural advancement of the species has been widely acknowledged to rest upon human domination and control of nature. Yet, by the 1960s, the idea of culture in confrontation with nature was being challenged by science, philosophy and the environmental movement. Anthropology is increasingly concerned with such issues as they become more urgent for humankind as a whole. This important book reviews the current state of the concepts of 'nature' we use, both as scientific devices and ideological constructs, and is organised around three themes: - nature as a cultural construction; - the cultural management of the environment; and - relations between plants, animals and humans.
Global Change, Clonal Growth, and Biological Invasions by Plants
There are few more active frontiers in plant science than helping understand and predict the ecological consequences of on-going, global changes in climate, land use and cover, nutrient cycling, and acidity. This collection of research papers and reviews focuses on how these changes are likely to interact with two important factors, clonal growth in plants and the introduction of species into new regions by humans, to reshape the ecology of our world. Clonal growth is vegetative reproduction in which offspring remain attached to the parent at least until establishment. Clonal growth is associated with the invasiveness of introduced species, their tendency to spread after introduction and negatively affect other species. Will changes in climate, land cover, or nutrients further increase biological invasions by introduced, clonal plants? The articles in this book seek to address this question with new research and theory on clonal growth and its interactions with invasiveness and other components of global change.
