Covid-19 e os Impactos no Direito
O COVID-19 exige que a sociedade e, nesse contexto, que o Direito literalmente se reinvente. Em momentos de extrema excepcionalidade, como o atual, espera-se que o Direito seja capaz de manter estáveis as expectativas jurídicas, assegurando, assim, o não retrocesso de direitos duramente conquistados. Este livro é fruto do esforço de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros, que fazem parte de uma rede de pesquisa na qual se reflete sobre o Direito do futuro e, ao mesmo tempo, o futuro do atual Direito, solicitado a dar respostas urgentes para novos conflitos. O grande desafio do Direito, neste momento de pandemia, é dar respostas imediatas, com repercussões futuras e incertas, mas com a percepção de que somente o conhecimento científico pode contribuir para a resolução destes novos e urgentes conflitos. Nesse sentido, temas como relações trabalhistas, viagens, família, mercado, limites do Estado, Economia, OMC e a própria cidadania são abordados no livro.
Roman de Silence
This bilingual edition, based on a reexamination of the Old French manuscript, makes Silence available to specialists and students in various fields of literature, to those in women's studies and, most important, to everyone who loves a first-rate story.
Ethics of Information and Communication Technologies
This book discusses key ethical and deontological problems concerning the use of the most common information and communication devices. It focuses on the challenges of the new environments we now find ourselves in thanks to these technologies, and the issues arising from the newly established relationship between the virtual sphere and the real world. Each aspect is analysed by starting from a very specific example or a case study presenting a dilemma that can only be resolved by making a reasoned ethical choice. Rather than thematically addressing only one of the many aspects mentioned above (for example, computer ethics or social network ethics), the book presents a comprehensive introduction to, and a co-ordinated overview of, the various deontological and ethical issues regarding the spread of the most common information and communication technologies.
Reparar, Punir ou Prevenir?
A obra busca analisar as funções da responsabilidade civil por danos coletivos, considerando as transformações pelas quais passou a sociedade, desde as mais primitivas formas de responsabilização até os modelos propostos pela doutrina contemporânea. Com base na civilística clássica, decompõem-se os elementos estruturais da matéria, a saber, conduta, nexo causal e dano, a fim de verificar se, de fato, ainda se constituem pressupostos da obrigação de indenizar ou se, ausentes, subsiste a responsabilidade. Após o exame de como se formou a responsabilidade civil, ou seja, de como esta se estruturou, investiga-se para que serve este instituto, qual sua função na sociedade à luz ...
Cognitive Linguistics
Cognitive Linguistics argues that language is governed by general cognitive principles, rather than by a special-purpose language module. This introductory textbook surveys the field of cognitive linguistics as a distinct area of study, presenting its theoretical foundations and the arguments supporting it. Clearly organised and accessibly written, it provides a useful introduction to the relationship between language and cognitive processing in the human brain. It covers the main topics likely to be encountered in a course or seminar, and provides a synthesis of study and research in this fast-growing field of linguistics. The authors begin by explaining the conceptual structures and cognitive processes governing linguistic representation and behaviour, and go on to explore cognitive approaches to lexical semantics, as well as syntactic representation and analysis, focusing on the closely related frameworks of cognitive grammar and construction grammar. This much-needed introduction will be welcomed by students in linguistics and cognitive science.
Maxims and Reflections (Ricordi)
Review: "Unlike Machiavelli-inveterate dreamer and cynic-Guicciardini's mind is remarkable for the balance and masterly coolness of its judgment."-Federico Chabod "In the history of Renaissance thought, Guicciardini's Ricordi occupy a place of singular importance. Few works of the sixteenth century allow us so penetrating an insight into the views and sentiments of its author as these reflections of the great Italian historian. . . . Like Machiavelli's Prince, the Ricordi form one of the outstanding documents of a time of crisis and transition; but unlike the Prince, they range over a wide field of private as well as public life. In doing so, they revel the man as well as the political theorist."-Nicolai Rubenstein, from the Introduction.
The Foundations of Economic Policy
Recent developments in public economics have largely been in the direction of reaffirming the limits of the market and of establishing new ones. The possible existence of fundamental non-convexities, imperfect and asymmetric information, incentive compatibility, imperfect competition, strategic complementarity, and scale economies led to the conclusion that a large set of market failures exist; such situations also imply government failure. Acocella, considers this complicated picture and provides a discussion of the different approaches to establishing social 'rankings' of the possible situations and the underlying principles. The arguments for and against different institutions are then analysed at a micro and macroeconomic level. The market and the government are recognised as imperfect, and thus complementary, institutions. Specific policy targets and instruments are considered in the areas of micro and macro-economic policy. Special attention is devoted to questions of policy management in an open economy. Finally, problems of domestic and international policy co-ordination are considered.
The Kurdish Women's Freedom Movement
Amidst ongoing wars and insecurities, female fighters, politicians and activists of the Kurdish Freedom Movement are building a new political system that centres gender equality. Since the Rojava Revolution, the international focus has been especially on female fighters, a gaze that has often been essentialising and objectifying, brushing over a much more complex history of violence and resistance. Going beyond Orientalist tropes of the female freedom fighter, and the movement's own narrative of the 'free woman', Isabel Käser looks at personal trajectories and everyday processes of becoming a militant in this movement. Based on in-depth ethnographic research in Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan, with women politicians, martyr mothers and female fighters, she looks at how norms around gender and sexuality have been rewritten and how new meanings and practices have been assigned to women in the quest for Kurdish self-determination. Her book complicates prevailing notions of gender and war and creates a more nuanced understanding of the everyday embodied epistemologies of violence, conflict and resistance.
