Ser feliz hoje: reflexões sobre o imperativo da felicidade
'Vinicius de Morais nos ensinou que "Tristeza não tem fim, felicidade sim", resumindo, dessa forma, o pensamento moderno sobre a condição humana. A felicidade é passageira "como uma gota de orvalho numa pétala de flor", enquanto a tristeza é inevitável e duradoura. A abrangente coletânea Ser feliz hoje registra, no entanto, com riqueza de detalhes e insights, importantes mudanças nas expectativas em relação à conquista da felicidade. Tecnocratas e novos profetas do comércio e das ciências afirmam que o indivíduo tem o poder de decidir ser feliz, apesar de desvantagens sociais, traumas pessoais e outras limitações.' - Christopher Dunn.

Reckoning with Social Media
Once celebrated for connecting people and circulating ideas, social media are facing mounting criticisms about their anticompetitive reach, addictive design, and toxicity to democracy. Known cumulatively as the “techlash,” journalists, users, and politicians are asking social media platforms to account for being too big, too engaging, and too unruly. In the age of the techlash, strategies to regulate how platforms operate technically, economically, and legally, are often stacked against individual tactics to manage the effects of social media by disconnecting from them. These disconnection practices—from restricting screen time and detoxing from device use to deleting apps and accounts...
Making Samba
In November 1916, a young Afro-Brazilian musician named Donga registered sheet music for the song "Pelo telefone" ("On the Telephone") at the National Library in Rio de Janeiro. This apparently simple act—claiming ownership of a musical composition—set in motion a series of events that would shake Brazil's cultural landscape. Before the debut of "Pelo telephone," samba was a somewhat obscure term, but by the late 1920s, the wildly popular song had helped to make it synonymous with Brazilian national music. The success of "Pelo telephone" embroiled Donga in controversy. A group of musicians claimed that he had stolen their work, and a prominent journalist accused him of selling out his people in pursuit of profit and fame. Within this single episode are many of the concerns that animate Making Samba, including intellectual property claims, the Brazilian state, popular music, race, gender, national identity, and the history of Afro-Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro. By tracing the careers of Rio's pioneering black musicians from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s, Marc A. Hertzman revises the histories of samba and of Brazilian national culture.
