O acelerado progresso da biotecnologia descortina dilemas éticos e jurídicos em que a proteção da pessoa humana é desafiada de forma constante e inquietante. As intervenções biomédicas e biotecnológicas desnudam o ser humano em múltiplas dimensões e rompem com a ordem natural das coisas, bem como desmistificam os desígnios sagrados e permitem, em certa medida, o controle dos rumos da vida. O nascer, o desenvolver-se e o morrer foram profundamente modificados e permitem um gerenciamento da vida como nunca antes foi possível, o qual se potencializa e transpõe os limites da ficção quando se consideram as interferências no humano advindas da inteligência artificial. A biotecnoc...

Learn the fascinating, exciting world of film, actresses, actors, fashion, and fictional entities.
While the basic pattern of hominid evolution is well documented, the recent evolutionary history of homo sapiens is less clear. Application of molecular genetics techniques has great potential for resolving issues over this period, but as the complexity of such data increases, the quantitative methods used for its analysis are becoming more important. This phase is also one of the richest for biological and behavioural evidence derived from both fossils and archaeology. The book will contain expository and state-of-the-art research contributions from experts in these diverse areas, covering data and its interpretation, and experimental and analytical techniques.
Usos do passado, ética e negacionismos, incide sobre um dos maiores problemas enfrentados pelos historiadores e historiadoras na atualidade, a saber, a deslegitimação gradual que a produção científica do saber histórico vem sofrendo a partir da influência de grupos ligados à extrema direita. A crise de autoridade epistêmica que, segundo muitos especialistas, acomete não só a história como outros campos do saber acadêmico, exige respostas que envolvam simultaneamente aspectos epistemológicos e éticos. Os textos do livro contemplam reflexões emergentes da relação da atuação historiadora na pesquisa, na docência e nas atividades desenvolvidas junto à comunidade não acadêmica. Soma-se a isso o compromisso ético e político com a memória dos mortos e com as demandas de homens e mulheres do presente.
De “América” a “Babilônia”. De “Prova de Amor” a “Os Dez Mandamentos”. De “Cristal” a “Chiquititas”. Sucessos, fracassos, transferências de canais. Gugu era do SBT, Eliana era da Record, Xuxa era da Globo. Silvio Santos era o único dono de emissora a comandar um programa de televisão. Muita coisa aconteceu na televisão brasileira entre 2005 e 2015. E o blog TELE-VISÃO (www.tele-visao.zip.net) acompanhou tudo isso. Em TELE-VISÃO – A Televisão Brasileira em 10 Anos, os principais textos publicados no blog se reúnem em ordem cronológica para montar um painel sobre tudo o que aconteceu na TV neste período.
Beginning with the discovery of a curious plot wherein science became the handmaiden of white-collar crime, "Anthropology and the Stock Exchange "by economic historian Marc Flandreau tracks a group of Victorian gentlemen-swindlers as they shuffled between the corridors of the London Stock Exchange and the meeting rooms of learned societies. It explores how the commodification of scientific truth became every bit as integral as financial engineering to the profitability of foreign investment and speculation in foreign government debt. Flandreau underscores the crucial role of finance (what he calls the Stock Exchange Modality ) in shaping the contours of human knowledge and vice versa in an a...
The pioneering anthropologist Sherry B. Ortner combines her trademark ethnographic expertise with critical film interpretation to explore the independent film scene in New York and Los Angeles since the late 1980s. Not Hollywood is both a study of the lived experience of that scene and a critical examination of America as seen through the lenses of independent filmmakers. Based on interviews with scores of directors and producers, Ortner reveals the culture and practices of indie filmmaking, including the conviction of those involved that their films, unlike Hollywood movies, are "telling the truth" about American life. These films often illuminate the dark side of American society through narratives about the family, the economy, and politics in today's neoliberal era. Offering insightful interpretations of many of these films, Ortner argues that during the past three decades independent American cinema has functioned as a vital form of cultural critique.
