Neoliberalism and Subjectivity in Latin America
This book examines subjectivity and neoliberalism in Latin America. The chapters, first published in the journal Subjectivity, cover a range of topics, from work to childcare to violence to university education In the Introduction, Julian Medina Zarate and Flavia Uchoa point out the complex history of the arrival and take-up of neoliberalism across the continent, the deep-seated role of colonial and post-colonial violence, thus the specificity of modes of governance in the complex relationship between the North and the South. The chapter by Antar Martinez Guzman considers the role of neoliberalism in the huge rise in male violence across the country, exploring hyper-violent masculinities in ...
Psychology and Rural Contexts
This book brings together a selection of theoretical reflections, empirical researches and professional experiences to showcase the increasing production of psychological studies in rural contexts developed in Latin America in recent years. Psychology’s tradition of science and eminently urban profession has produced a void of reflections and approaches on important actors of the societies that constitute their existence in rural contexts and in relation – whether of integration, conflicts and contradictions – with urban agents. But a new generation of psychologists are turning their attention to rural contexts, especially in Latin America. This volume aims to present a selection of th...
Birth in Eight Cultures
This stunning sequel to Brigitte Jordan’s landmark Birth in Four Cultures brings together the work of fifteen reproductive anthropologists to address core cultural values and knowledge systems as revealed in contemporary birth practices in Brazil, Greece, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Tanzania, and the United States. Six ethnographic chapters form the heart of the book, three of which are set up as dyads that compare two countries; each demonstrates the power of anthropology’s cross-cultural comparative method. An additional chapter with ethnographic vignettes gives readers a feel for what fieldwork is really like on the ground. The eminently readable, theoretically rich chapters are enhanced by absorbing stories, photos, quotes, thought questions, and film suggestions that nudge the reader toward eureka flashes of understanding and render the book suitable for undergraduate and graduate audiences alike.
Labor in a Globalizing City
The extraordinary stories of low-income women living in São Paulo, industrial case studies and the details of three squatter settlements, and communities in the periphery researched in Simone Buechler’s book, Labor in a Globalizing City, allow us to better understand the period of economic transformation in São Paulo from 1996 to 2003. Buechler’s in-depth ethnographic research over a period of 17 years include interviews with a variety of social actors ranging from favela inhabitants to Wall Street bankers. Buechler examines the paradox of a globalizing city with highly developed financial, service, and industrial sectors, but at the same time a growing sector of microenterprises, degraded labor, considerable unemployment, unprecedented inequality, and precarious infrastructure in its low-income communities. The author argues that informalization and low-income women’s labor are an integral part of the global economy. Other countries are continuing to use the same kind of neo-liberal economic model even though once again with the latest global financial crisis, it has proven to be detrimental to many workers.

O privilégio da servidão - 2 edição
A nova edição de O privilégio da servidão, do sociólogo e professor Ricardo Antunes, apresenta um retrato detalhado e atualizado da classe trabalhadora hoje, com as principais tendências das novas relações trabalhistas, em que precarizações, terceirizações e desregulamentações tornaram-se parte da regra, e não da exceção. O estudo apresenta uma análise minuciosa das mudanças nas relações de trabalho durante a história recente do país, desde a redemocratização até os primeiros meses de Jair Bolsonaro no poder – passando pelo impeachment de Dilma Rousseff e pelo governo de Michel Temer. O eixo central da obra busca compreender a explosão do novo proletariado de ser...
Psicologia social do trabalho
Psicologia Social do Trabalho apresenta uma perspectiva de estudo sobre trabalho e processos organizativos que tem sido construída em diversos centros de pesquisa no Brasil. Trata-se de uma contribuição contemporânea que busca suprir a lacuna de uma produção sistematizada sobre o campo do trabalho a partir da Psicologia Social em uma vertente crítica, que conta com elementos que a singularizam, os quais estão enraizados em alguns aspectos: sua história, seus princípios, seus objetivos, sua ética não liberal e em áreas e disciplinas com as quais dialoga.
