An Introduction to Latin American Philosophy
This introduction provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the central topics in Latin American philosophy. It explores not only the unique insights offered by Latin American thinkers into pre-established fields of Western philosophy, but also the many 'isms' developed as a direct result of Latin American thought.

Biodireito
O acelerado progresso da biotecnologia descortina dilemas éticos e jurídicos em que a proteção da pessoa humana é desafiada de forma constante e inquietante. As intervenções biomédicas e biotecnológicas desnudam o ser humano em múltiplas dimensões e rompem com a ordem natural das coisas, bem como desmistificam os desígnios sagrados e permitem, em certa medida, o controle dos rumos da vida. O nascer, o desenvolver-se e o morrer foram profundamente modificados e permitem um gerenciamento da vida como nunca antes foi possível, o qual se potencializa e transpõe os limites da ficção quando se consideram as interferências no humano advindas da inteligência artificial. A biotecnoc...
How Judges Judge
A judge’s role is to make decisions. This book is about how judges undertake this task. It is about forces on the judicial role and their consequences, about empirical research from a variety of academic disciplines that observes and verifies how factors can affect how judges judge. On the one hand, judges decide by interpreting and applying the law, but much more affects judicial decision-making: psychological effects, group dynamics, numerical reasoning, biases, court processes, influences from political and other institutions, and technological advancement. All can have a bearing on judicial outcomes. In How Judges Judge: Empirical Insights into Judicial Decision-Making, Brian M. Barry ...
Direito das Famílias e da Pessoa Idosa
Sobre a obra Direito das Famílias e da Pessoa Idosa - 2a Ed - 2023 É preciso quebrar o tabu sobre a temática do envelhecimento, sobretudo em uma área tão sensível do direito, como é o Direito das Famílias.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Social Perception and Social Reality
This title contests the received wisdom in the field of social psychology that suggests that social perception and judgment are generally flawed, biased, and powerfully self-fulfilling.
Slave Portraiture in the Atlantic World
Slave Portraiture in the Atlantic World is the first book to focus on the individualized portrayal of enslaved people from the time of Europe's full engagement with plantation slavery in the late sixteenth century to its final official abolition in Brazil in 1888. While this period saw the emergence of portraiture as a major field of representation in Western art, 'slave' and 'portraiture' as categories appear to be mutually exclusive. On the one hand, the logic of chattel slavery sought to render the slave's body as an instrument for production, as the site of a non-subject. Portraiture, on the contrary, privileged the face as the primary visual matrix for the representation of a distinct individuality. Essays address this apparent paradox of 'slave portraits' from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, probing the historical conditions that made the creation of such rare and enigmatic objects possible and exploring their implications for a more complex understanding of power relations under slavery.
