This edited collection explores LGBTQ+ literature for young readers around the world, and connects this literature to greater societal, political, linguistic, historical, and cultural concerns. It brings together contributions from across the academic and activist spectra, looking at picture books, middle-grade books and young adult novels to explore what is at stake when we write (or do not write) about LGBTQ+ topics for young readers. The topics include the representation of sexualities and gender identities; depictions of queer families; censorship; links between culture, language and sexuality/gender; translation of LGBTQ+ literature for young readers; and self-publishing. It is the first collection to expand the study of LGBTQ+ literature for young readers beyond the English-speaking world and to draw cross-cultural comparisons.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized as one of the greatest global threats to humans, animals, plants and ecosystems health threatening the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. In our globally connected world, resistance to antimicrobials may spread and circulate among humans, animals, plants and the environment, necessitating a “One Health” approach. While the One Health approach is relevant to all efforts to prevent and control AMR, this priority research agenda focuses on research areas at the interface between sectors. This research agenda is a joint product of the Quadripartite organizations –FAO, UNEP, WHO and WOAH - and a result of extensive stakeholde...
A obra objetiva tensionar os conceitos-ferramentas de Michel Foucault a partir de inquietações que visam esquadrinhar as formações discursivas, penetrar nas relações de poder e conduzir, regular e produzir subjetividades. Destarte, os sujeitos, as instituições e as práticas compõem o escopo analítico das discussões a serem travadas nesta obra.
As problemáticas referentes aos homens e/ou às masculinidades têm ganhado cada vez mais expressão nos estudos de gênero e de sexualidade em pesquisas brasileiras nos mais distintos campos de conhecimento, contribuindo para um interessante deslocamento de desnaturalização de outros sujeitos sociais, para além da mulher, na contemporaneidade. Estaríamos diante de uma "crise da masculinidade"? As rupturas e/ou questionamentos de gênero e de sexualidade têm provocado a emergência de novas masculinidades? De que forma os feminismos contribuíram para a retirada dos homens de uma invisibilidade normativa? Estas são apenas algumas perguntas que atravessam esta obra, composta de entrevi...

Anais do III Simpósio Internacional Interdisciplinar em Cultura e Sociedade do PGCult - UFMA, que reúne trabalhos de docentes e discentes que participaram do evento científico, realizado no período de 4 a 6 de dezembro de 2019, na Universidade Federal do Maranhão.
Este livro aborda um amplo conjunto de questões no campo dos estudos de gênero, sexualidade e educação no Brasil, cujo alicerce teórico-político pauta-se nas produções feministas, nos estudos queer, no pós-estruturalismo, na interface com as pedagogias decoloniais e interseccionais, em uma estreita vinculação com o contexto cultural e político contemporâneo. Nos últimos anos, temas como gênero, sexualidade e corpo têm gerado um grande desconforto por parte de grupos conservadores. Pesquisas realizadas com essas temáticas são colocadas em suspeição e docentes que atuam em todas as etapas de ensino relatam uma série de perseguições ao conduzirem suas aulas pelo viés dos Direitos Humanos, em defesa da equidade de gênero, das identidades vistas como dissidentes e de uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais. Esse vigoroso debate tem se fortalecido a partir do ativismo político em conjunto com as pesquisas que aqui apresentamos.
Macro-level study of the South Atlantic throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries demonstrating how Brazils emergence was built on the longest and most intense slave trade of the modern era. The seventeenth-century missionary and diplomat Father Antônio Vieira once observed that Brazil was nourished, animated, sustained, served, and conserved by the sad blood of the black and unfortunate souls imported from Angola. In The Trade in the Living, Luiz Felipe de Alencastro demonstrates how the African slave trade was an essential element in the South Atlantic and in the ongoing cohesion of Portuguese America, while at the same time the concrete interests of Brazilian colonists, dependent on Angolan slaves, were often violently asserted in Africa, to ensure men and commodities continued to move back and forth across the Atlantic. In exposing this intricate and complementary relationship between two non-European continents, de Alencastro has fashioned a new and challenging examination of colonial Brazil, one that moves beyond its relationship with Portugal to discover a darker, hidden history.
Bringing together theory and public health practice, this interdisciplinary collection analyses three forms of nonconventional or radical sexualities: bareback sex, BDSM practices, and public sex. Drawing together the latest empirical research from Brazil, Canada, Spain, and the USA, it mobilizes queer theory and poststructuralism, engaging the work of theorists such as Bataille, Butler, Deleuze and Guattari, and Foucault, among others. While the collection contributes to current research in gender and sexuality studies, it does so distinctly in the context of empirical investigations and discourses on critical public health. Radical Sex Between Men: Assembling Desiring-Machines will be of interest to advanced undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and researchers in gender and sexuality studies, sexology, social work, anthropology, and sociology, as well as practitioners in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and psychology.
[ES] El objetivo general de esta investigación fue analizar la regulación y utilidad de las redes sociales virtuales como una herramienta de lucha contra la violencia de género. También es analizada la violencia denunciada y la producida en dichas redes, así como las características del agresor y de la víctima. Se estudiaron las leyes que regulan la red y 500 videos del YouTube separados por los tipos de violencia o postura ante la misma, seleccionando una muestra diversificada de relevancia, tanto en Portugal como en Brasil, por su impacto social y su importante repercusión: los siete videos seleccionados para un estudio minucioso por su carácter representativo generaron aproximada...
