Focusing on the question of how popular psychology organises everyday experiences of intimacy, its argument is grounded in qualitative research in Trinidad in the Anglophone Caribbean.

Em breve uma série Disney+, conheça a sequência de Os leões da Sicília, o sucesso que conquistou a Itália sobre a poderosa dinastia que sobreviveu a guerras, mudanças no poder e inúmeras revoluções. Após a chegada da família Florio em Palermo e a construção de seu império inabalável, os dias de miséria que viveram na Calábria foram deixados para trás. Hoje, a cidade inteira os admira, os honra e os teme, e com Ignazio assumindo os negócios, tudo o que ele quer é expandir seu domínio para influenciar a política de Roma e dominar o Mediterrâneo. Mas, o preço a ser pago é alto: colocar a família em primeiro lugar e renunciar a um grande amor. Por outro lado, seu herdeiro, Ignazziddu, não está entusiasmado em assumir os negócios, pois não quer se sacrificar pela própria linhagem como o pai e o avô fizeram. Na voz de uma das autoras mais promissoras da Itália, Stefania Aucci, O triunfo dos leões é a história da ascensão dos Florio à camada social mais alta da Sicília. Fenômeno no país de origem, venceu o Rhegium Julii, maior prêmio da literatura italiana, e o Prêmio Bancarella de 2022.
