O feminino e seus avatares
O feminino e seus avatares surge após dois eventos realizados por psicanalistas do Mato Grosso do Sul com essa temática. O livro é composto por textos que abordam a questão da feminilidade, do feminino, do ser mulher desde várias perspectivas. Vê-se posto em ato, a cada artigo, o plural indicado no título. Os escritos que dão corpo a essa obra fazem esvoaçar os véus movimentados pelo vento das letras das autoras e dos autores que ousaram pensar sobre aquela que é enigma freudiano. O feminino, suas aflições, seus enigmas, o não-todo, o Outro, a violência, os enlaces do amor, do desejo, do gozo permeiam as investigações dos trabalhos desenvolvidos nessas páginas. As aflições femininas estão presentes desde a existência da humanidade, a cada época a sociedade articula um discurso na tentativa de nomear o feminino.
A (des)patologização do processo de escolarização
Considera-se relevante a presente coletânea por aglomerar e apresentar estudos e pesquisas que tratam sobre a patologização e medicalização do processo de escolarização, a partir dos pressupostos teóricos da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural. Busca contribuir para a construção de reflexões e compreensões que abram possibilidades de contraposição às concepções hegemônicas sobre os problemas no processo de escolarização, concepções estas que partem de um viés biologicista e patologizante que culmina na medicalização da educação.
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.
Health Promotion Evaluation Practices in the Americas
More and more, health promotion is a crucial component of public health, to the extent that public health interventions are called on to prove their effectiveness and appraised for scientific validity, a practice many in the field consider self-defeating. Health Promotion Evaluation Practices in the Americas cogently demonstrates that scientific rigor and the goals of health promotion are less in conflict than commonly thought, synthesizing multiple traditions from countries throughout North, Central, and South America (and across the developed-to-developing-world continuum) for a volume that is both diverse in scope and unified in purpose. The book’s examples—representing robust theoret...
The Architecture of Ruins
The Architecture of Ruins: Designs on the Past, Present and Future identifies an alternative and significant history of architecture from the sixteenth century to the twenty-first century, in which a building is designed, occupied and imagined as a ruin. This design practice conceives a monument and a ruin as creative, interdependent and simultaneous themes within a single building dialectic, addressing temporal and environmental questions in poetic, psychological and practical terms, and stimulating questions of personal and national identity, nature and culture, weather and climate, permanence and impermanence and life and death. Conceiving a building as a dialogue between a monument and a...

Stan Getz
Some may only know the jazz legend Stan Getz, tenor saxophonist, for his bossa nova hits "Desafinado" and "The Girl from Ipanema." However, Getz, born in 1927, began to play professionally at age 15, and his rich musical career lasted until shortly before his death on June 6, 1991. He played in a wide variety of musical settings such as big band, orchestral, quartet, and duo. The incredible beauty of his sound sparked the late jazz great John Coltrane to say, "We would all play like Stan Getz, if we could." When Getz died, jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie said, "He was sheer genius. And there's one thing about this man, he was the most melodic player on the jazz scene." This bibliography, the ...
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
