Constitutionalism and Dictatorship

It is widely believed that autocratic regimes cannot limit their power through institutions of their own making. This book presents a surprising challenge to this view. It demonstrates that the Chilean armed forces were constrained by institutions of their own design. Based on extensive documentation of military decision-making, much of it long classified and unavailable, this book reconstructs the politics of institutions within the recent Chilean dictatorship (1973–1990). It examines the structuring of institutions at the apex of the military junta, the relationship of military rule with the prior constitution, the intra-military conflicts that led to the promulgation of the 1980 constitution, the logic of institutions contained in the new constitution, and how the constitution constrained the military junta after it went into force in 1981. This provocative account reveals the standard account of the dictatorship as a personalist regime with power concentrated in Pinochet to be grossly inaccurate.

A presente obra traz reflexões sobre as ações da eugenia, do higienismo e do sanitarismo no período da Belle Époque no Brasil, com o olhar voltado para a cidade de São Paulo. Dentro daquele contexto, os discursos e as ações médicas agiram no corpo citadino e nos corpos humanos que também deveriam expressar a civilização almejada pelos projetos políticos da nação. Dessa forma, os discursos e as ações hegemônicas, inclusive dos médicos, ditavam qual seria a postura dos corpos, as feições das faces e a indumentária a ser usada para que, com gestos adequados, pudessem ser os homens e as mulheres os frequentadores e consumidores na cena urbana, e essa ação foi feita também por intermédio de discursos iconográficos como as propagandas dos produtos de toalete. Ao demonstrar modos de vida, as imagens foram muito mais além da ilustração, cada uma delas, de forma eloquente, ensinava sobre os cuidados dos corpos que deveriam ter visibilidade e, portanto, estar nas ruas para verem e serem vistos, em detrimento dos outros corpos que, invisibilizados e/ou ridicularizados foram considerados degenerados, disgênicos e feios.

A imprensa é um tema de estudo bastante relevante para as Ciências Humanas e Sociais, como também para a produção historiográfica. A temática não apenas se mantém, mas vem se ampliando e se diversificando devido às novas formas de se caracterizar e se registrar, nos vários meios de comunicação, questões que envolvem a comunidade local ou global. "Tecituras das Cidades. História, Memória e Imprensa" é a sétima publicação da coletânea "Tecituras das Cidades", do Núcleo de Estudos de História Social da Cidade, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, fundado pela Profa. Dra. Yvone Dias Avelino há mais de 30 anos. A temática Cidade sempre foi objeto dos integrantes desse núcleo de pesquisas, cujos interesses foram se ampliando e se diversificando, com olhares para seus sujeitos, seus espaços, suas instituições e linguagens.

'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.

The Mosquito Bite Author

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
