Intellectual Topographies and the Making of Citizenship

The Place of Affectivity and Sexuality in the Shaping of Personal Identity
The work The Place of Affectivity and Sexuality in the Shaping of Personal Identity presents as its fundamental core a set of scientific texts – both inter- and trans-disciplinary – reflecting on the definition of personal identity, its configuration as a human task, in which the concrete realities of affectivity and sexuality manifest themselves as unavoidable parts. Aiming to transcend ideologies, that always ignore reality, and fashions of irreflective thinking, this work assumes itself as a contribution for the debate about that which is the foundation of that very special identity, properly human: a totally irreducible personal identity.

Saber-se Corpo. Ensaios sobre Desporto, Cinema e Motricidade
O problema da complexidade do fenómeno humano é o cerne do pensamento de Manuel Sérgio. O filósofo encontrou na Motricidade Humana o impulso para propor uma gramática para essa complexidade. Saber-se corpo, reconhecer- se como identidade corpórea é o motor da tomada de consciência de que o ser humano é sujeito da história. Dividido em duas partes, o presente volume traz-nos ensaios sobre a vida motrícia, o deporto e a transcendência, e sobre cinema e culturas desportivas, a partir de quatro objetos fílmicos.
Cultures of Silence
This book investigates the notion of silence as both an oppressing instrument and a powerful tool of resistance under the lenses and practices of cultural production. Taking a transdisciplinary and transcultural approach to the study of creative and cultural practices, the chapters ask how cultural production is dealing with surges of oppressive regimes, censorship, and fake news, and which cultural processes are implied in silencing as well in giving voice to, in erasing, and in producing small and grand narratives. The book reaches beyond dominant instrumental views of contemporary cultural practice to understand culture not only as an expedient to conduct social policy but also as a diagnostic tool and a vernacular space of giving voice to the many small narratives that make the world we live in. Offering an introduction to an underrepresented area of cultural studies, this truly interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to scholars of cultural studies, cultural history, media studies, politics, visual studies, communication studies, history, and literature.
The Political Dimension of Constitutional Law
This book discusses in what sense constitutional law has a political dimension, raising the question whether constitutional law is fundamentally political as to its validity, terms of its origin, conceptual structure and/or corresponding practice. It also poses the question whether that dimension is a political-theological dimension. A positive answer to these questions challenges the prevailing view that constitutional law is to be conceived strictly as law, moreover as written law, approved at a certain point in history by a particular power and interpreted as any other law by the judiciary. The essays included in this book, written by leading scholars in constitutional theory – including Martin Loughlin, Paul Kahn, Manon Altwegg-Boussac and Massimo La Torre – address these questions in a timely and original way.
Conflict, Memory Transfers and the Reshaping of Europe
Conflict, Memory Transfers and the Reshaping of Europe discusses processes of memory construction associated with the realities of war and genocide, totalitarianism, colonialism as well as trans-border dialogues in the overcoming of conflict memories. It is based on the premise that there are no available clear-cut or definite positions to approach the problematic issues of conflict, memory and history. Consequently, it examines and articulates across several different media discourses, problems, contexts and considerations of value. Its scope is thus deliberately interdisciplinary, drawing on the cross-fertilization of diverse research methods. The book addresses a number of issues and rais...
New Approaches to Translation, Conflict and Memory
This interdisciplinary edited collection establishes a new dialogue between translation, conflict and memory studies focusing on fictional texts, reports from war zones and audiovisual representations of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco Dictatorship. It explores the significant role of translation in transmitting a recent past that continues to resonate within current debates on how to memorialize this inconclusive historical episode. The volume combines a detailed analysis of well-known authors such as Langston Hughes and John Dos Passos, with an investigation into the challenges found in translating novels such as The Group by Mary McCarthy (considered a threat to the policies establis...
