As criptomoedas iniciaram uma nova etapa da revolução tecnológica. A partir de então, tudo que se conheceu acerca de mercado econômico-financeiro está em constante modificação. O mundo virtual adquiriu, portanto, uma dimensão colossal e irregressível ao tocar o centro da estrutura econômica, social e política da formação dos Estados. Ocorre que a relação das criptomoedas com esses entes soberanos não é pacífica, mas revolucionária: elas não aceitam controle por uma entidade central (descentralização); não permitem a colheita de dados por quem quer que seja, garantindo a anonimidade entre as partes (criptografia); e não respeitam limites ou supostas soberanias estatai...
Nesta obra, adaptada a partir de sua monografia de graduação, Matheus Bittar Barra explora a origem da doutrina das questões políticas no direito norte-americano e a sua introdução e evolução ao longo da história jurídica brasileira, buscando defini-la em termos abstratos, porém práticos e utilizáveis na solução de casos concretos.

From currency and maps to heavily censored newspapers and television programming, Art Systems explores visual forms of critique and subversion during the height of Brazilian dictatorship, drawing sometimes surprising connections between artistic production and broader processes of social exchange during a period of authoritarian modernization. Positioning the works beyond the prism of politics, Elena Shtromberg reveals subtle forms of subversion and critique that reinvented the artists’ political terrain. Analyzing key examples from Cildo Meireles, Antonio Manuel, Artur Barrio, Anna Bella Geiger, Sonia Andrade, Geraldo Mello, and others, the book offers a new framework for theorizing artis...

The Brazilian Communist Party was one of the largest Communist parties in Latin America until its split and dissolution in the 1990s. Although not granted legal status as a political party of Brazil until 1985, the Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB) has been tolerated by that country's regime. Such governmental tolerance of the PCB was not always the case. In the past, the regime of Getúlio Vargas practiced savage forms of repression against Brazilian leftists, whose "Red extremism" was cited by both government leaders and the press as sufficient cause for Vargas' adoption of the most extreme measures. Brazilian Communism, 1935–1945 is an objective and remarkably comprehensive account of ...
