Invenções e descobertas que mudaram a vida dos LGBT+ e de como a sociedade os via
Existe alguma relação entre o estudo dos dinossauros e gays e lésbicas? Será que a descoberta das bactérias e dos vírus impactou na aprovação do casamento homoafetivo no decorrer dos anos? A invenção do avião e do trem ajudou a tornar as sociedades mais tolerantes? Embora estejamos acostumados a ver mudanças sociais por um viés político e econômico, neste livro ofereço ao leitor contar a história dos LGBT+ e de como a sociedade os via por meio de descobertas científicas e inovações tecnológicas. Estas coisas modificaram não só o modo como as sociedades se organizavam, mas também a maneira como as pessoas pensavam, o que nos traz uma instigante história de como cada elemento social se relaciona a vários outros, criando uma teia de relações que muitas vezes não conseguimos ver, mas que podem ser fascinantes.
Music Scenes and Migrations
‘Music Scenes and Migrations’ brings together new work from Brazilian and European scholars around the themes of musical place and transnationalism across the Atlantic triangle connecting Brazil, Africa and Europe. Moving beyond now-contested models for conceptualizing international musical relations and hierarchies of powers and influence, such as global/local or centre/periphery, the volume draws attention instead to the role of the city, in particular, in producing, signifying and mediating music-making in the colonial and post-colonial Portuguese-speaking world. In considering the roles played by cities as hubs of cultural intersection, socialization, exchange and transformation; as ...
Do fim ao princípio
Reunião inédita dos poemas da grande Adalgisa Nery, escritora que retorna à vitrine da poesia brasileira, após quase 50 anos da publicação de seu último livro. "O acontecimento poético mais notável foi a revelação de mais uma grande voz feminina na pessoa da Sra. Adalgisa Nery." Assim Manuel Bandeira elogiou o primeiro livro de Adalgisa Nery, Poemas, publicado em 1937. Mulher de personalidade magnética, encantou a todos que a conheceram, especialmente por sua sensibilidade. Em 36 anos de carreira, publicou sete livros de poemas, dois romances, uma coletânea de contos, outra de crônicas e quatro traduções. A extensa atividade literária iguala-se somente à vida pública: Adal...
Leon Eliachar ao Meio
Leon Eliachar foi uma figura de destaque do humor brasileiro das décadas de 1960 a 1980. Além de ser escritor de livros, trabalhou em diversos programas de televisão, rádio, revistas e jornais, sempre com um humor ligado a questões do cotidiano e com o que podemos chamar de "sacadas" brilhantes. Falava sobre tudo abertamente - política, amor, sexo, economia, costumes, entre outros - e hoje estaria nas fronteiras daquilo que chamamos de politicamente incorreto. O escritor, no entanto, nunca pretendeu ofender ninguém, mas tão somente fazer a sociedade se olhar no espelho e rir de suas próprias contradições. O arquivo pessoal de Leon foi doado à Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa após ...
International Human Rights Law in a Global Context
The international human rights system remains as dynamic as ever. If at the end of the last century there was a sense that the normative and institutional development of the system had been completed and that the emphasis should shift to issues of implementation, nothing of the sort occurred. Even over the last few years significant changes happened, as this book amply demonstrates. We hope that this Manual makes a contribution to the development of International Human Rights Law and is of interest for those working in the field of promotion and protection of human rights. The book is the result of a joint project under the auspices of HumanitarianNet, a Thematic Network led by the University of Deusto, and the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC, Venice).
International Protection of Human Rights: Achievements and Challenges
At the beginning of the nineties, there was an expectation within the human rights community that the next decade would be a period of consolidation for the international human rights regime. This did not happen. In fact, the human rights regime underwent dramatic changes in response to new circumstances. We have tried to highlight both the achievements and the challenges ahead in this Manual, the result of a joint project under the auspices of HumanitarianNet, a Thematic Network on Humanitarian Development Studies leaded by the University of Deusto (Bilbao, the Basque Country, Spain), and the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC, Venice, Italy).

Great Christian Jurists in Spanish History
The Great Christian Jurists series comprises a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists, judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the professional output of the individuals studied. Spanish legal culture, developed during the Spanish Golden Age, has had a significant influence on the legal norms and institutions that emerged in Europe and in Latin America. This volume examines the lives of twenty key personalities in Spanish legal history, in particular how their Christian faith was a factor in molding the evolution of law. Each chapter discusses a jurist within his or her intellectual and political context. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars from Spain and around the world. This diversity of international and methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character; it will appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between religion and law.

The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music in Brazil, followed by essays that are organized into thematic sections: Samba and Choro; History, Memory, and Representations; Scenes and Artists; and Music, Market and New Media.
Tourism and Dictatorship
Following WWII, the authoritarian and morally austere dictatorship of General Francisco Franco's Spain became the playground for millions of carefree tourists from Europe's prosperous democracies. This book chronicles how this helped to strengthen Franco's regime and economic and political standing.
