Assombros da casa-grande
Não é possível pensar a história política e jurídica do Brasil sem dar centralidade à "raça". Partindo desse pressuposto, Assombros da casa-grande: a Constituição de 1824 e as vidas póstumas da escravidão é uma análise precisa e atual do sistema jurídico brasileiro a partir da Constituição de 1824, outorgada logo após a Independência e peça central para o prolongamento da escravidão no Brasil, a despeito de até hoje ser celebrada como um texto "liberal" para os padrões da época. Começando com uma leitura de Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas — em que o defunto-autor é um exemplo explícito de quem era a elite brasileira no final do século 19 —, passando pela de...
Innovation and Transition in Law: Experiences and Theoretical Settings
This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions.
Sussurros de Atena
Os ditos populares e sua relação com conceitos de grandes pensadores são explorados, de forma cativante, nesta obra. Ao procurar respostas às questões que surgem desta combinação, contempla-se: O que dizem Schopenhauer e Montesquieu diante da afirmação de que "a voz do povo é a voz de Deus"? E quanto a Plutarco e Molière, concordam que "os opostos se atraem?". Helvetius e Gracián defendiam o desprezo como o melhor remédio. Mas quanto teriam eles bebido na fonte de Marco Antônio, ou dos antigos monges tibetanos? Uma mente ociosa é, de fato, "oficina do capeta"? Se viajarmos no tempo e admirarmos a história de pensadores como Boécio, Voltaire e Montaigne, não poderíamos concluir que o ócio também pode ser um laboratório divino? Nesta relação entre a sabedoria popular e a grã-filosofia, o autor procura descortinar onde elas se complementam, onde se conflitam, e aspectos de sua assimilação
Distortion and Subversion
An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. At the turn of the 21st century, the Brazilian punk and hardcore music scene joined forces with political militants to foster a new social movement that demanded the universal right to free public transportation. These groups collaborated in numerous venues and media: music shows, protests, festivals, conferences, radio stations, posters, albums, slogans, and digital and printed publications. Throughout this time, the single demand for free public transportation reconceptualized notions of urban space in Brazil and led masses of people across the country to protest. This boo...
Business Models for Sustainability Transitions
Can innovations in business change society? Can innovations in society change business? These two questions have become critically urgent in recent years, but are rarely considered together. ‘Business Models for Sustainability Transitions’ therefore asks, can contemplating both concepts together result in a flourishing, sustainable future? Technology alone cannot save us. We cannot consciously consume our way out of trouble. This book represents a start at bridging the dynamic world of business model innovation with the constant and unprecedented transitions underway in the world around us. For researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, the coupling of the two questions has the potential to unlock answers to our grand global challenges with responses that are at the same time rapid and enduring. This work offers unique and considered glimpses into what it may take to harness wide-ranging innovations for the collective good.
Social Change, Industrialization, and the Service Economy in São Paulo, 1950-2020
In the 1950s–80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial networks among the "developing" countries, initially concentrated in the state of São Paulo. But from the 1980s, decentralization of industry spread to other states reducing São Paulo's relative importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws on social, economic, and demographic data to document the accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities, banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São Paulo dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America.

Brazil–China Relations in the 21st Century
This book explores the bilateral relationship between Brazil and China in modern history, environment, economics, and contemporary Brazilian politics. As China has become Brazil's largest trading partner, importing commodities and exporting manufactures, and a major investor in the country, Brazil's social structure has been upended, with traditional hierarchies jolted and new ones created- in the agribusiness, industry, in the diplomacy of climate change in the Amazon and not least, Brazil's traditional relationship with the United States. In this incisive text, one of Brazil's leading political scientists explores how China, the X factor of international relations, can transform a nation's politics; it will be of interest to economists, scholars of geopolitics, of China's Belt and Road Initiative and of Latin America politics.
África Brasil
Among the long string of historical albums he created, África Brasil, from 1976, is a milestone in Jorge Ben's career. It is the record in which he definitely swaps the acoustic for the electric guitar. Narrating Jorge Ben's journey, album by album, to África Brasil, the 14th studio LP of his career, the journalist Kamille Viola interviews musicians, producers, researchers and even soccer stars like Zico (honored in the track "Camisa 10 da Gávea" to review the artist's life story and the background details of the album's production. Considered to be the high point in the career of the author of "Umbabarauma", África Brasil comprises alongside A tábua de esmeralda (1974) and Solta o pav...
