Creating and Opposing Empire
Focusing on the Portuguese Empire, this book examines colonial press issued in "metropolitan" spaces and in colonies, disclosing dissonant narratives and problematizations of colonial empires. Creating and Opposing Empire is a venture of the International Group for Studies of Colonial Periodical Press of the Portuguese Empire (IGSCP-PE), which also invests on comparative studies and conceptual discussions. This book analyses representations of Empire at colonial press published in "metropolitan" spaces and in colonies. By joining these spaces in the same analytic look, it explores different problematizations of colonial empires. The diversity of angles discloses why a decolonized, democratic...
Comunicação, Política e Democracia
From communication as a mainstay of democracy (foundational element of modern, liberal and representative democracies) to communication today, as a risk factor (and even a threat) to democracy itself. Faced with the histrionism of political spectacle and specialized political languages - journalism, publicity, public relations and political marketing - the beat of communication, itself, in political life is already reduced to an almost imperceptible wire. In an age of great communicational opulence, how did you come to this paradoxical situation? And what are their most predictable effects in the future of democracy? These issues have the media at their core: both the mass media and the so-called new media, in their differences and similarities, and in the singular conjugation of a mix media, which is today the form of the new ecology of political communication. This strong impact of technology on political communication does not withdraw actuality (and priority), but to him who remains his great civic challenge: the maintenance of democracy, understood as a form of life, of essential structures of dialogue that bind the citizens.
Women Past and Present
In Western societies, many traditional feminist claims have already been fulfilled both in law and in official discourse. Indeed, legislative steps have already been taken towards securing civil and political rights and equal opportunities for women. This, of course, is not the case in many other regions of the world, as some of the chapters in this book clearly testify. Yet, notwithstanding the gains achieved in Western societies, residual forms of resistance and prejudice still persist in discourses, categories and discriminative practices in this so-called “post-feminist” era. Furthermore, new manifestations of asymmetries in gender relations and new ways of thinking and experiencing subjectivity are currently emerging, as a result of growing globalisation, economic crises, migration patterns, female sex and labour trafficking, trans-nationalism, and new technologies, not to mention the beauty and body sculpting industries.
Sociedade, comunidade e redes
A cultura refere-se aos sistemas humanos de crenças, valores, normas e tradições que moldam as maneiras como suas inúmeras formas de sociedade desenvolveram-se com o tempo. A comunicação é um sistema evoluído para codificar, transmitir e decodificar representações do mundo que possibilitem compartilhar informações, significados e outras modalidades de criação simbólica. Com a missão de explorar a inter-relação entre esses dois sistemas fundamentais no contexto das organizações humanas, a coleção Faces da cultura e da comunicação organizacional endereça as complexas interações entre ambos os processos, em que a comunicação constitui a cultura, e a cultura constitu...
