Contracultura
Christopher Dunn's history of authoritarian Brazil exposes the inventive cultural production and intense social transformations that emerged during the rule of an iron-fisted military regime during the sixties and seventies. The Brazilian contracultura was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that developed alongside the ascent of hardline forces within the regime in the late 1960s. Focusing on urban, middle-class Brazilians often inspired by the international counterculture that flourished in the United States and parts of western Europe, Dunn shows how new understandings of race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship erupted under even the most oppressive political conditions. Dunn reveals p...
The Law of Open Societies
This book endeavours to interpret the development of private international law in light of social change. Since the end of World War II the socio-economic reality of international relations has been characterised by a progressive move from closed to open societies. The dominant feature of our time is the opening of borders for individuals, goods, services, capital and data. It is reflected in the growing importance of ex ante planning – as compared with ex post adjudication – of cross-border relations between individuals and companies. What has ensued is a shift in the forces that shape international relations from states to private actors. The book focuses on various forms of private ordering for economic and societal relations, and its increasing significance, while also analysing the role of the remaining regulatory powers of the states involved. These changes stand out more distinctly by virtue of the comparative treatment of the law and the long-term perspective employed by the author. The text is a revised and updated version of the lectures given by the author during the 2012 summer courses of the Hague Academy of International Law.
Intellectual Property Review
The Intellectual Property Review, edited by Dominick A Conde of Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto, covers 30 jurisdictions with leading practitioners explaining the opportunities for intellectual property protection in their respective region, plus significant recent developments and the unique aspects of each country. It is not an overstatement to say that essentially all business is global, and the protection of intellectual property is the lifeblood of all business. The scope and implementation of that protection, however, varies from country to country. It is therefore incumbent for both clients and their lawyers, to be conversant with the individual practices, laws, rules and procedures, in each of the economically significant countries. The goal of this review is to provide that guidance. Contributors include: Stanislas Roux-Vaillard, Hogan Lovells LLP; Felix Roediger, Bird & Bird LLP; and Tommaso Faelli, BonelliErede
Globalization of contractual law
This book adopts the proposition that it is possible to the customs to be sources of contractual obligations. To support that premise, it was necessary to seek jurisprudential (arbitration and litigation) and comparative basis. Even more, due to contract law internationalization, customary international sources should be subject of domestic treatment, as they provide contractual obligations as well as they work as contractual interpretation tool. However, one can´t neglect the need to control the customary content. In detailed terms, then, we can say that the role reserved for the custom as contractual law rules source has always been residual in Brazilian law. Accompanying the modern Europ...

Rebeldes e marginais
Um mix de ensaios de Heloisa Teixeira com fotografias e QR codes que exploram a cultura dos anos de chumbos. Durante um longo período de sua vida, Heloisa Teixeira (ex-Buarque de Hollanda) estudou obstinadamente a produção cultural brasileira sob a mão pesada da ditadura militar e da censura. Sobre esse tema, ela escreveu uma tese de doutorado, quatro livros e inúmeros artigos examinando a cultura como resistência e afirmação da juventude rebelde da época. Agora, aos 84 anos, ela decide compartilhar essas fontes, reunir e reorganizar o material que produziu sobre esta época mágica, quando a cultura enfrentou estruturas, ditaduras e soube sonhar novos futuros. Este livro é, portanto, um precioso apanhado de décadas de pesquisa apresentado a partir de um olhar atual sobre o que aconteceu naqueles anos 1960/1970. Em uma série de QR codes, a autora disponibiliza ainda documentos e entrevistas raras que fez pessoalmente com personagens chave dessa época, que mudou para sempre a cultura do país.
