Este trabalho tem como objeto a manifestação folclórica da dança de São Gonçalo, de origem portuguesa, que se espalhou pelo Brasil desde o período colonial, um ritual de louvor a São Gonçalo de Amarante. A esse "santo" foram atribuídas várias lendas que possibilitaram conhecer os motivos de se executar a dança em sua homenagem, as quais se fazem presentes no cenário cultural de algumas regiões brasileiras. Neste trabalho, apresento a tradição da dança de São Gonçalo no Brasil, principalmente, no distrito de Lisieux, Santa Quitéria-CE, como influência e um resquício da tradição escrava que permanece na memória de algumas pessoas da comunidade. Analisando as manifesta...
Em uma perspectiva que sinaliza a necessidade e a urgência de reconhecermos as raízes coloniais de nossa formação social e da nacionalidade brasileira, assim como seus efeitos no tempo atual – sobre a sociedade e sobre o campo científico –, esta obra sinaliza, ao mesmo tempo, o prejuízo de uma Psicologia fundada estritamente na racionalidade eurocêntrica e estadunidense, com frequência alheia aos dilemas da sociedade brasileira e latino-americana. Sem ignorar as relações de poder que marcam as produções científicas, a proposta deste livro indica, além disso, a importância do resgate e da valorização das reflexões de pensadoras e pensadores negros(as), indígenas, de uma formação e profissão comprometidas com o reconhecimento e com a problematização dos condicionantes histórico-culturais e econômicos de nosso país e com a sua transformação.
This richly documented work focuses on the parentela (extended family), including Epitacio's, to illustrate the role bonds of blood, marriage, and friendship played in formal politics at local, state, and national levels throughout the Old Republic (1889-1930). Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
"I look beyond solution; I look for an expression."--Eduardo Souto de Moura The architect Eduardo Souto de Moura (b. 1952) has won many accolades, including the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Based in Porto, Souto de Moura studied under Fernando Távora and worked under fellow Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, with whom he continues to collaborate. Souto de Moura established his own practice in 1980, and his wide-ranging influences, including Mies van der Rohe and Donald Judd, can be seen in the stunning variety of his work, from his acclaimed private houses, to the striking Paula Rego Museum in Cascais and the Braga Municipal Stadium, to his work in historical contexts such as the Convento das Bernardas in Tavira. This beautifully illustrated retrospective provides the most comprehensive account of Souto de Moura's career to date. Drawings, notes and sketches from his archive, and newly commissioned photographs complement essays by scholars and prominent architects that trace Souto de Moura's career, contextualize his work within the larger trends of contemporary international architectural culture, and highlight the originality of his design strategy.

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder caused by autoantibodies against post-synaptic proteins at the neuromuscular junction. These antibodies mostly attack the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK), and the low-density lipoprotein-related protein 4 (LRP4). The main clinical characteristic of the disease is the presence of fluctuating fatigable muscle weakness involving the extraocular, facial, bulbar, respiratory, cervical, and proximal limb muscles. It is known that the thymus has an important role in the pathophysiology of the disease, and some patients associate a thymoma.
