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.
History of the Restoration and Conservation of Works of Art
At times controversial and uncompromising, always intellectually honest, Alessandro Conti's book is - astonishingly - the only attempt to comprehensively chart in time, the changing impact of man's desire to preserve for future generations the materials, meaning and appearances of works of art. Remarkable in its meticulous research of source material and breadth of scope, History of the Restoration and Conservation of Works of Arts, translated by Helen Glanville, charts the practices and underlying philosophies of conservation and 'restored' works of art from the Middle Ages to the end of the nineteenth century. In English-speaking countries, a lack of foreign language skills leaves many una...
Functional Food and Human Health
Global health and the increasing incidence of various diseases are a cause for concern, and doctors and scientists reason that the diet, food habits and lifestyle are contributing factors. Processed food has reduced the nutritional value of our diet, and although supplementing foods with various additives is considered an alternative, the long-term impact of this is not known. Many laboratories around the world are working to identify various nutritional components in our daily food and their effect on human health. These have been classified as Nutraceuticals or functional food, and they may have preventive and therapeutic effects in a number of pathologies associated with modern dietary habits and lifestyles. This book addresses various aspects of this issue, revitalizing the discussion and consolidating the latest research on nutritional and functional food and their effects in in-vitro, in-vivo and human clinical studies.

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 ...
Martyrdom: A Guide for the Perplexed
It can be said, almost without exaggeration, that martyrdom has become one of the most pressing theological issues facing the contemporary world. Since the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, the world has had to face up to an Islamic manifestation of martyrdom. Martyrdom has a long history; as long as individuals have been dying for their faith or cause, others have been telling and more importantly, interpreting their stories. These martyrologies are essentially conflict stories. Whether a Christian confessing her faith before a bemused Roman governor, or a suicide bomber blowing himself up in a crowed cafe in Jerusalem, the way these stories are recounted - positively or negatively ...
Silence, Screen, and Spectacle
In an age of information and new media the relationships between remembering and forgetting have changed. This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord's notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past. Perhaps now "spectacle" can be thought of not as a tool of distraction employed solely by hegemonic powers, but instead as a device used to answer Walter Benjamin's plea to "explode the continuum of history" and bring our attention to now-time.
Ending Terrorism in Italy
Ending Terrorism in Italy analyses processes of disengagement from terrorism, as well as the connected issues of reconciliation, truth and justice. It examines in a critical and original way how terrorism came to an end in Italy (Part I), and the legacy it has left behind (Part II). The book interrogates a wide array of published memoirs and a considerable number of new face-to-face interviews with both former terrorists and first and second generation victims In the last two decades, and especially in recent years, former extreme-right terrorists in Italy have started to talk about their past involvement in terrorist violence, including, for the first time, acts of violence which have for d...
Triumph and Trauma
This book deals with triumphant and tragic heroes, with victims and perpetrators as archetypes of the Western imagination. A major recent change in Western societies is that memories of triumphant heroism-for example, the revolutionary uprising of the people-are increasingly replaced by the public remembrance of collective trauma of genocide, slavery and expulsion. The first part of the book deals with the heroes and victims and explores the social construction of charisma and its inevitable decay. Part 2 focuses on a paradigm case of the collective trauma of perpetrators: German national identity between 1945 and 2000. After a time of latency, the legacy of nationalistic trauma was addressed in a public conflict between generations. The conflict took center stage in vivid public debates and became a core element of Germany's official political culture. Today public confessions of the guilt of the past have spread beyond the German case. They are part of a new post-utopian pattern of collective identity in a globalised setting.
