Traços e Laços da Amazônia

Pensar a Amazônia e sua imagem indelével de maior floresta equatorial do mundo, muitas vezes, leva o leitor desavisado a imaginar que essa região é una, quando na verdade, são muitas Amazônias dentro da Amazônia. Dessa forma, temos um complexo processo, ao qual Neide Gondim denominou de “ invenção da Amazônia”, o que fixou um imaginário de narrativas fantásticas dessa região como a “terra da felicidade”, a terra da promissão. Descontruindo esse imaginário mítico, os autores deste livro trazem para o debate as mais diversas facetas da Amazônia, traçando trajetos e traçados de uma cartografia literária e cultural, que longe de abarcar a totalidade, apresenta um recorte de povoados, rotas, caminhos, habitus e identidades, com seus nós e laços!

Ashes of the Amazon

"The story of a long rebellion and the struggle to understand it. The rebel is Mundo, the embittered offshoot of a family split down the middle. The attempt to understand him falls to Lavo, a hard-working orphan who betters himself under the influence of Mundo's father.However, the symbolic heart of the book lies not so much in Manaus and the final years of a boom produced by the merciless exploitation of the forest, but further down the great river, in Vila Amazonia, the centre of a jute plantation and Mundo's worst nightmare.In his lifelong struggle to escape from his father's dynastic ambitions, Mundo distances himself as much as possible from this dead-centre of the novel, taking the plot to Rio de Janeiro and the effervescent worlds of Berlin and London in the 1970s. This beautiful, mature and bitter novel is the extraordinary result." -- BOOK JACKET.

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.

Until the 70s and 80s anthropologists studying different cultures had mainly confined themselves to the behaviour and idea systems of adults. Psychologists, on the other hand, working mainly in Europe and America, had studied child development in their own settings and simply assumed the universality of their findings. Thus both disciplines had largely ignored a crucial problem area: the way in which children from birth onwards learn to become competent members of their culture. This process, which has been called 'the quintessential human adaptation', constitutes the theme of this volume, originally published in 1988. It derives from a workshop held at the London School of Economics which b...

The indiscriminate use of chemical substances in industrial processes and anthropogenic activities, have resulted in the release of these compounds into aquatic ecosystems through municipal, hospital and industrial discharges, producing various undesired effects on the environment and on species of ecological interest. These compounds, such as metals, pesticides, emerging pollutants and other substances are persistent and susceptible to biotic and/or abiotic transformations, yielding metabolites that can be more toxic than the original compounds. In this book, researchers from diverse environmental science disciplines share their experiences in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, and critically examine the problem of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems in Latin America, as well as the risks presented by their presence.
