A Nova MPB surgiu como termo controverso na crítica musical brasileira no início do século XXI para se referir a atores que se apresentaram no contexto de reconfiguração da indústria da música, desencadeado pelas plataformas digitais e o download de músicas pela internet, levantando questionamentos sobre a Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). Este livro é o resultado de dois anos de pesquisa de Mestrado na linha Estética e Culturas da Imagem e do Som do Programa de Pós-graduação em Comunicação (PPGCOM) da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), financiada com bolsa de estudos concedida pela Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (Facepe), e apresenta uma c...
Nos anos 1960 e 1970, a MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) assumiu uma posição central nas discussões sobre música no Brasil. Porém desde a metade da década de 1980 a MPB divide esse lugar central com outras expressões musicais brasileiras, continuando a ter destaque nessas disputas. Nas primeiras décadas dos anos 2000, o debate sobre MPB voltou a ter força na internet e nas plataformas de redes sociais com a Nova MPB. Este livro apresenta e discute de forma articulada os Estudos da MPB, as Teorias das Redes e os Estudos Culturais, e propõe pensar a sigla composta por debates que articulam redes diversas a fim de perpetuá-la e reinventá-la ao longo dos anos. Além disso, traz uma cartografia ampla chamada "cartografia digital de controvérsias musicais" sobre o que vem sendo debatido no Brasil sobre a Nova MPB, em revistas, jornais, sites, blogs, YouTube, Twitter e Facebook. Por seu conteúdo atual e original, é uma leitura recomendada para todos que se interessam por comunicação e música e buscam conhecer mais sobre MPB e Nova MPB.
Woman-Centered Brazilian Cinema highlights the bold, inspiring, and diverse work of female filmmakers—including directors, screenwriters, and producers—and female protagonists in the twenty-first-century Brazilian film industry. This volume examines the diverse production and distribution spaces these filmmakers are working in, including documentary, experimental, and short filmmaking, as well as commercial feature films. An intersectional approach runs throughout the chapters with complex considerations around gender, race, sexuality, and class. The book features a mix of research methods and genres, with macro-level political, economic, and industry-wide views of gender disparities appearing alongside in-depth conversations with contemporary filmmakers Maria Augusta Ramos, Petra Costa, Mari Corrêa, and Paula Sacchetta, focused on micro-level personal experiences. In bringing together original essays and interviews, the volume provides valuable information for students of Brazil in general and of Brazilian film in particular.

The UNDP’s global initiative—“Growing Inclusive Markets”—brings together cases from all over the world and similar regional publications. In Brazil, UNDP has created the “Incluir Initiative” which aims to encourage and recognize inclusive businesses in the country.

The increasing prevalence and burden of obesity transcends borders, straining populations worldwide. Data shows that 50 million girls, 74 million boys, 390 million women, and 281 million men were estimated to have obesity in 2016 (NCD-RisC, 2017). The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on October 9, 2018 to address the status of the global obesity pandemic and discuss diverse approaches to manage this problem. Speakers examined the collective prevalence, costs, and drivers of obesity around the world using cross-cultural comparisons. Panels and group discussions emphasized the need to reduce disparities in prevention and treatment efforts and to generate new policy and system initiatives related to nutrition and physical activity worldwide. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.

Universities have become essential players in the generation of knowledge and innovation. Through the commercialization of technology, they have developed the ability to influence regional economic growth. By examining different commercialization models this book analyses technology transfer at universities as part of a national and regional system. It provides insight as to why certain models work better than others, and reaffirms that technology transfer programs must be linked to their regional and commercial environments. Using a global perspective on technology commercialization, this book divides the discussion between developed and developing counties according to the level of univers...
