O direito para além do direito.
O Poder Judiciário nunca esteve tão em voga, do ponto de vista acadêmico, midiático e social. No dinâmico cenário político nacional, autoridades jurisdicionais tornaram-se conhecidas, processos passaram a ser divulgados em cada etapa pela mídia, juízes tornaram-se celebridades, em um complexo conjunto de causas e consequências que se retroalimentam no que se convencionou chamar de judicialização da política, ou, em sentido inverso, politização da justiça. Evidentemente, essas novas relações também geram novos atritos, o que, leva a questionamentos sobre a constitucionalidade dos novos fenômenos e das novas interações jurídico-políticas. Em suma, com cada nova posiçã...

In a time of terror for Europe's monarchs--imprisoned, exiled, executed--Napoleon's army marched toward Lisbon. Cornered, Prince Regent João had to make the most fraught decision of his life. Protected by the British Navy, he fled to Brazil with his entire family, including his mentally ill mother, most of the nobility, and the entire state apparatus. Thousands made the voyage, but it was no luxury cruise. It took two months in cramped, decrepit ships. Sickness ran rampant. Lice infested some of the vessels, and noble women had to shave their hair and grease their bald heads with antiseptic sulfur. Vermin infested the food, and bacteria contaminated the drinking water. No European monarch h...

Never before has America—or the world—seen an individual so creative, so focused and so determined. The Trump Factor is a must read for any American interested in what Donald Trump has truly accomplished over 5 decades. The sheer magnitude of the portfolio is compelling. Trump is constantly faced with the complexities of multiple, mixed-use skyscrapers in gateway cities with enormous barriers to entry. Completing just one of these projects would give a developer great pride—yet this is an entire portfolio of them. Donald J. Trump has a powerful combination of architectural vision, financial genius and unparalleled persuasiveness—among innumerable other tools—to create a masterpiece business and an unparalleled one-man, one-name branding industry. His successful brand is as unparalleled as his drive—to forge ahead regardless of the obstacles, creating superb quality hotels, golf courses, condominiums, retail shops and much, much more. At every turn, this man solved the unsolvable, fixed the unfixable and got done what no other human being could possibly get done. Yet his greatest legacy lies in the family he tutors, empowers and loves.
Leading experts examine the threats posed by populism to human rights and the international systems and explore how to confront them.
This study is the first to examine the presence of prose lyricism as a tendency in Brazilian novels. In addition to examining a selection of works of fiction and writers between the nineteenth and the twenty-first centuries, the book also addresses the absence of the theme in Brazilian literary studies, exposing the origin of a prejudice against lyrical narratives in comparison with the predominant use of social realism. The author bridges this gap, bringing to light some of the implications of this absence with regards to the themes of realism and representation in national literature. She also engages with a selection of relevant theories about lyrical novels, adding to its premises recent and flexible configurations in the theory of genres. The ultimate aim of this book is to contribute to a different perception of prose lyricism and its possibilities for political engagement. This unique investigation provides readers with different degrees of knowledge about Brazilian literature the opportunity to get to know both literary movements in Brazil as well as relevant authors, such as João Guimarães Rosa, Clarice Lispector and Raduan Nassar, among many others.
