Drowning in Laws
Since 1943, the lives of Brazilian working people and their employers have been governed by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT). Seen as the end of an exclusively repressive approach, the CLT was long hailed as one of the world's most advanced bodies of social legislation. In Drowning in Laws, John D. French examines the juridical origins of the CLT and the role it played in the cultural and political formation of the Brazilian working class. Focusing on the relatively open political era known as the Populist Republic of 1945 to 1964, French illustrates the glaring contrast between the generosity of the CLT's legal promises and the meager justice meted out in workplaces, government ministries, and labor courts. He argues that the law, from the outset, was more an ideal than a set of enforceable regulations--there was no intention on the part of leaders and bureaucrats to actually practice what was promised, yet workers seized on the CLT's utopian premises while attacking its systemic flaws. In the end, French says, the labor laws became "real" in the workplace only to the extent that workers struggled to turn the imaginary ideal into reality.
New Waves in Social Psychology
This book presents an update on social psychology as a disciplinary space and research field. First, it discusses the irruption of research methods from other cultural niches in the instituted academic area. Then, the second and third chapters discuss the role of Critical Psychology for community emancipation in hybrid settings and the development of Vygotsky's theory in Latin America. The fourth and fifth chapters offer some questions on contemporary legal and political culture. The sixth and seventh chapters ask how to reconceptualise the studies on Social Imaginary amd childhood. The eighth and ninth chapters present topics as performativity, cybernetic, subjectivities, and technology networks in health-related social support. In the last chapter, the author asks: are networks a cause of the human condition or a result of it? Is virtuality a condition and, at the same time, a result of the human? What could offer a psychoanalytic ethnographic approach to recover the concept of being human as the experience of intimate bonding as part of a social network?
Charting a New Course
For decades F. H. Cardoso has been among the most influential of Latin American scholars, his writings on globalization, dependency, and politics having reached a world-wide audience. This book, the third by Cardoso to appear in English, is the first to incorporate essays written during his tenure as president of Brazil. The transformation of Cardoso's economic and political approach is nowhere better documented than in this broad-ranging collection of writings that span Cardoso's early theoretical work through his pragmatic agenda for Brazil in a rapidly changing world economy. The book also traces the development of one of the world's leading intellectuals, who took theory into the arena of policy when he became head of state.
Geopolitics of Intervention
Lava Jato and the Crisis In this controversial and surprising book: Geopolitics of Intervention, lawyer and political scientist Fernando Augusto Fernandes dismantles the story that Operation Car Wash was (and still is) an unsuspected investigation to combat the crimes of corrupt politicians and prominent corrupt business people. Its primary purpose was to destabilize the PT government, hit the democratic system, destroy national engineering, weaken the oil and gas program, and facilitate the looting of national wealth. All to create the conditions needed for a right-wing liberal government, which ended up resulting in the election of an underdog and the most signifi cant political, economic, social, and health crisis ever experienced by the country.
Brazilian Psychosocial Histories of Psychoanalysis
This edited volume provides a critical history of psychoanalysis in Brazil. Written mainly by Brazilian historians and practitioners of psychoanalysis, the chapters address some central questions about psychoanalysis’ social role. How did psychoanalysis develop and flourish in a society in which modernisation was accompanied by inequality, authoritarianism and violence? How did psychoanalysis survive in Brazil alongside censorship and repression? Through a variety of lenses, the contributors demonstrate how psychoanalysis in Brazil presented itself as progressive and transformative and maintained this self-image even as it developed institutional structures that reproduce the authoritarian...
Voz Humana
O objetivo deste livro é contar a história de resistência dos advogados perante os tribunais da República. A própria pesquisa foi alvo de repressão e censura, que acabou levando o autor à tribuna do Superior Tribunal Militar, palco da resistência judiciária contra a ditadura pós-64. Este trabalho traz, de maneira cronológica, a atuação dos advogados contra o "desenvolvimento" das leis de repressão e controle social, que deram campo fértil às leis de segurança. A obra não tem a pretensão de cobrir toda atuação de uma classe de lutadores pelas garantias individuais frente à opressão, mas contar, sim, um pouco desta história. A história dos advogados criminalistas em defesa de presos políticos é a oportunidade para relatar a seqüência de leis penais em repressão às classes dominadas e a criminalização de qualquer atitude que vá de encontro aos interesses da classe dominante, em cada época.
Mário contra Macunaíma
Publicado originalmente em 1988, este livro, agora revisto e atualizado, se tornou referência para estudos e pesquisas sobre a atuação de Mário de Andrade à frente do Departamento de Cultura e sobre os embates políticos que permeiam suas iniciativas de organização e gestão dos bens culturais na cidade de São Paulo. De acordo com o autor, dois aspectos importantes explorados em sua pesquisa foram demonstrar que, tanto como escritor quanto como homem público, Mário perseguia um ideal modernizante e universalista, e que sua obra toda se concentra num esforço de integração do Brasil no curso geral da civilização contemporânea.
Direito, Religião e Cultura Política
A obra responde ao desafio de pensar as relações de poder, que falam do campo jurídico a partir da religião e da cultura. Aborda as perplexidades advindas de uma ordem política autoritária que se mostra incapaz de atuar sobre políticas públicas eficazes. Destaca, ainda, as disputas entre a Igreja e o Estado que implicaram um processo de secularização dubitativo, assim como as permanências culturais de longa duração da “Questão Religiosa”, iniciada na década de 1870 e que produziram efeitos políticos e ideológicos no Brasil republicano. Os oito capítulos esmiúçam as letras jurídicas sobre casamento e condição feminina; o imaginário político das questões religiosa...
