The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design
The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design explores the multifaceted nature of infrastructure through the global lens of architectural history. Infrastructure holds the world together. Yet even as it connects some people, it divides others, sorting access and connectivity through varied social categories such as class, race, gender, and citizenship. This collection examines themes across broad spans of time, raises questions of linkage and scale, investigates infrastructure as phenomenon and affect, and traces the interrelation of aesthetics, technology, and power. With a diverse range of contributions from 33 scholars, this volume presents new research from regions including South and ...
A seca como questão política e social: os discursos em torno dos semiáridos do Brasil e da Argentina a partir dos casos do Ceará e de Santiago del Estero (1932-1937)
Neste livro, encontraremos as narrativas em torno das áreas semiáridas do Ceará e de Santiago del Estero, em meio às secas que acometeram essas regiões nos anos 1930. Por meio de diversas fontes históricas, este livro mostra como os discursos em torno das estiagens colocam em evidência questões que estão para além da geografia semiárida ou do clima. A seca, assim, traz para o cerne da sociedade debates que devem problematizar certas relativizações que culpam principalmente a natureza pela desigualdade social existente na história desses lugares.
Trajetórias individuais e experiências sociais: sujeitos, ideias e redes na história (séculos XIX e XX)
Neste livro, são apresentadas diferentes trajetórias individuais que possibilitam a análise de questões históricas marcantes ao longo dos séculos XIX e XX. Pensados individualmente ou interligados, os homens e mulheres destacados vinculam-se a questões políticas, econômicas e religiosas, à esfera literária, ao esporte e à luta antirracista e feminista, atuando sobre o seu tempo e impactando-o diretamente. A relação entre trajetórias e experiências confirma-se, assim, como um rico caminho para a pesquisa histórica.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
