Olhares urbanos

Hoje, temas como "sociologia urbana" e "antropologia urbana" atraem centenas de interessados a cursos, seminários e congressos. Ao mesmo tempo, o consumo invadiu todos os espaços da contemporaneidade e gerou profundas mudanças na percepção que indivíduos e empresas têm acerca do funcionamento da vida social na metrópole. Por esse motivo, os intelectuais voltam seu olhar para as questões derivadas desse fenômeno, mais notável principalmente nos grandes centros urbanos. Fruto dessa diversidade e complexidade, esta obra discute o uso, a percepção e a representação das metrópoles e de seus personagens por meio da análise de diversas mídias - como televisão, cinema e jornal impresso -, oferecendo, assim, um rico material a todos os que se dedicam aos estudos urbanos.

Japanese Mythology in Film

  • Categories: Art

A cyborg detective hunts for a malfunctioning sex doll that turns itself into a killing machine. A Heian-era Taoist slays evil spirits with magic spells from yin-yang philosophy. A young mortician carefully prepares bodies for their journey to the afterlife. A teenage girl drinks a cup of life-giving sake, not knowing its irreversible transformative power. These are scenes from the visually enticing, spiritually eclectic media of Japanese movies and anime. The narratives of courageous heroes and heroines and the myths and legends of deities and their abodes are not just recurring motifs of the cinematic fantasy world. They are pop culture’s representations of sacred subtexts in Japan. Japa...

Leading English-language account of the fall of Lula’s Workers’ Party and rise of Bolsonaro and the New Right What does Brazil’s lurch to the hard right under Jair Bolsonaro portend for Latin America’s largest country, and how has it come about? Always something of a world unto itself, Brazil became, under the Workers’ Party from 2003 to 2016, “the theatre of a socio-political drama without equivalent in any other major state.” Bucking the global trend towards a tighter neoliberalism, former steelworker Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva swept aside the broken promises of previous years to invest in social transfers, defying vituperations in the Brazilian media to become the most popular ruler of the age. But in a second spectacular reversal, a parliamentary coup d’état against Lula’s successor—backed by forces in the judiciary and a youthful New Right—has been consolidated by Bolsonaro’s 2018 capture of the Planalto. With the PT’s lodestar now behind bars, a weighing up of his legacy, and of the contrasting Bolsonaro regime, is urgently needed. Brazil Apart is the sharp-edged, comprehensive analytic account required.

Eleições como forma de provimento da direção escolar na Rede Municipal de Ensino de Curitiba

À luz do conceito de democracia, o texto discute virtudes e vicissitudes do processo de provimento de equipes diretivas das unidades educacionais públicas do município de Curitiba/Paraná, onde, desde 1983, há normativas sobre consulta à comunidade para escolha de direções escolares. Não obstante, a operacionalização desta legislação não foi analisada quanto a sua efetividade como princípio democrático, foco deste estudo. No Brasil, além do imperativo constitucional para a gestão democrática da educação (art. 206), a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB 9394/96) impõe a cada sistema a definição de normas de gestão democrática do ensino público.
