Trabalho, política e cultura em Gramsci
O volume que ora se apresenta é produto do Seminário Internacional Gramsci, realizado entre os dias 28 e 30 de agosto de 2007, nas dependências da Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências da UNESP (campus de Marília). a sua publicação neste formato se justifica pela qualidade dos trabalhos apresentados tanto como resultados de pesquisas concluídas ou quase, quanto pelos projetos ainda em desenvolvimento. a pretensão dessa brochura é bastante limitada, estando reduzida a tornar pública a riqueza (e talvez o calor) do debate travado nos dias do Seminário, mas a sua utilidade é evidente.
Labor Contestation at Walmart Brazil
This book explores how and why the labor practices of the world’s largest employer, supermarket giant Walmart, were contested by unions and government regulators as it expanded to Latin America starting in the 1990s. With an in-depth case study of Brazil, and a comparative chapter examining Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, this book analyzes the problematic encounter between diffusion of home-office anti-labor practices and evolving national institutional contexts that are quite varied and in some cases enable considerable resistance by unions and/or regulators. Walmart’s “repressive familial” and “anti-union” model is found to generate costs and conflicts that contributed to its unprofitability and ultimate exit from Brazil in 2018. This experience, contrasted with country situations where Walmart’s overall competitive and labor and human resource practices “fit” better with national markets and institutions, underlines the brittle, problematic nature of diffusionist corporate models lacking adaptive capacity to significant cross-national variations across host countries.
Comerciários De João Pessoa:
Este estudo tem por finalidade fazer uma abordagem de como o novo sindicalismo contribuiu para a mudança de cultura política das lideranças do sindicalismo comerciário de João Pessoa, entre 1986 e 1993. O contexto histórico em que surgiu o sindicalismo autêntico proporcionou mudanças significativas nas relações entre capital e trabalho a partir das rupturas com as antigas práticas de se fazer sindicalismo durante a ditadura militar. Além disso, acreditamos que este movimento foi o principal responsável pela mudança de comportamento dos novos dirigentes sindicais daquela categoria de trabalhadores na qual predominava uma cultura de harmonia entre as classes antagônicas. Dessa f...
Engajamento dos Trabalhadores: Análise das Políticas de Gestão do Trabalho
"Captura da subjetividade", a que esse termo lhe remete?[...] o processo de 'captura' da subjetividade do trabalho vivo é um processo intrinsecamente contraditório e densamente complexo, que articula mecanismos de coerção/consentimento e de manipulação não apenas no local de trabalho, por meio da administração pelo olhar, mas nas instâncias sociorreprodutoras, com a pletora de valores-fetiche e emulação pelo medo que mobiliza as instâncias da pré-consciência/inconsciência do psiquismo humano. (ALVES, 2011, p. 114).
Sindicalismo e Associativismo dos Trabalhadores em Educação no Brasil
O presente livro reúne artigos de pesquisadores que se articulam em torno da Rede Aste, no esforço conjunto de situar e compreender a organização dos trabalhadores como uma das forças motrizes no desenvolvimento e na configuração das políticas educacionais, no mundo do capital contemporâneo em permanente transformação, permeado por processos de rupturas sociais, políticas e econômicas. São trabalhos de pesquisas realizados por múltiplos enfoques teóricos e metodológicos, históricos e conceituais, formativos e curriculares, de gênero e categorias sociais, nos quais abordam os movimentos dos trabalhadores da educação realizados em vários países, em diferentes lutas de resistência e pautas propositivas, no intuito de semear as condições necessárias para a superação das contradições e a intensa mercantilização que envolvem a educação do nosso tempo.

COVID-19 and Human Rights
This timely collection brings together original explorations of the COVID-19 pandemic and its wide-ranging, global effects on human rights. The contributors argue that a human rights perspective is necessary to understand the pervasive consequences of the crisis, while focusing attention on those being left behind and providing a necessary framework for the effort to 'build back better'. Expert contributors to this volume address interconnections between the COVID-19 crisis and human rights to equality and non-discrimination, including historical responses to pandemics, populism and authoritarianism, and the rights to health, information, water and the environment. Highlighting the dangerous...
The Global Expansion of Judicial Power
In Russia, as the confrontation over the constitutional distribution of authority raged, Boris Yeltsin's economic program regularly wended its way in and out of the Constitutional Court until Yeltsin finally suspended that court in the aftermath of his clash with the hard-line parliament. In Europe, French and German legislators and executives now routinely alter desired policies in response to or in anticipation of the pronouncements of constitutional courts. In Latin America and Africa, courts are--or will be-- important participants in ongoing efforts to establish constitutional rules and policies protect new or fragile democracies from the threats of military intervention, ethnic conflic...
Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment
A timely work describing how localized hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) complements general, ‘arms-length’ HTA agency efforts, and what has been the collective global impact of HB-HTA across the globe. While HB-HTA has gained significant momentum over the past few years, expertise in the field, and information on the operation and organization of HB-HTA, has been scattered. This book serves to bring this information together to inform those who are currently working in the field of HTA at the hospital, regional, national or global level. In addition, this book is intended for decision-makers and policy-makers with a stake in determining the uptake and decommissioning ...
Seed Ecology
This book is about the regeneration of plants from seed under field conditions. It attempts to give a reasonably balanced overview of the many aspects of this broad topic. The first chapter introduces some general ideas about reproduction in plants. Subsequent chapters deal with the early stages in the life of a plant, from ovule to established seedling, in a more or less chronological order. The final chapter shows how the data on regeneration requirements of different species can be used to explain a number of important characteristics of whole plant communities. The study of the ecological aspects of reproduction by seed touches on a range of issues of current interest in biology. A discu...
Labor Geographies
Discussions of the geographic transformations wrought by capitalism generally treat corporations as the primary agents of spatial change. We hear of billions of dollars flowing here, factories moving there, venture capitalists opening up new markets, and workers having to "take it or leave it." Yet labor too is increasingly thinking and acting geographically, whether by struggling to impose national contracts; building regional, national, or international links of solidarity; or engaging in debates over local economic development. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the emerging discipline of labor geography. Combining innovative theoretical analysis with empirical case studies from around the world, Herod examines the spatial contexts and scales in which workers live, organize, and work to address particular economic and political problems. The first book-length text of its kind, this is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in working-class life, workers' organizations, and the contemporary dynamics of capitalism.
