Imaginário, estética e cultura
Esta obra reúne um conjunto de textos que perfaz o debate sobre fenômenos contemporâneos a partir de diferentes expressões artísticas, da estética, da cultura popular, das questões sobre gênero(s) e corpo(s), da Teoria do Imaginário, das sensibilidades e da educação. Assumindo o caráter transdisciplinar das discussões, os textos ressaltam importantes diálogos entre diferentes áreas do saber, teorias, métodos e abordagens que têm sido exploradas n’O IMAGINÁRIO – Grupo de Pesquisas Transdisciplinares sobre Estética, Educação e Cultura e na Linha de Pesquisa ‘Educação e Diversidade’ do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Contemporânea, ambos vinculados à Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Centro Acadêmico do Agreste.
O devir educação como imaginação e experiência epistemológica no Agreste Pernambucano
A produção e difusão do conhecimento proporcionado pelo Agreste Pernambucano, por meio de seu curso de pós-graduação em Educação põe em xeque a importância de uma ciência qualitativa, democrática, participativa, pós-colonial, multicultural e diversa, que confronta com um ideário de ciência positivista, androcêntrica, patriarcal, sexista, LGBTfóbica, racista, classista, de cunho neoliberal, de razão indolente e totalitária.
The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems
Genetic algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in studies of complex adaptive systems, ranging from adaptive agents in economic theory to the use of machine learning techniques in the design of complex devices such as aircraft turbines and integrated circuits. Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems is the book that initiated this field of study, presenting the theoretical foundations and exploring applications. In its most familiar form, adaptation is a biological process, whereby organisms evolve by rearranging genetic material to survive in environments confronting them. In this now classic work, Holland presents a mathematical model that allows for the nonlinearity of...
Epistemologies of the South
This book explores the concept of 'cognitive injustice': the failure to recognise the different ways of knowing by which people across the globe run their lives and provide meaning to their existence. Boaventura de Sousa Santos shows why global social justice is not possible without global cognitive justice. Santos argues that Western domination has profoundly marginalised knowledge and wisdom that had been in existence in the global South. She contends that today it is imperative to recover and valorize the epistemological diversity of the world. Epistemologies of the South outlines a new kind of bottom-up cosmopolitanism, in which conviviality, solidarity and life triumph against the logic of market-ridden greed and individualism.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
