Tibetan Buddhism in Diaspora
The imperialist ambitions of China – which invaded Tibet in the late 1940s – have sparked the spectacular spread of Tibetan Buddhism worldwide, and especially in western countries. This work is a study on the malleability of a particular Buddhist tradition; on its adaptability in new contexts. The book analyses the nature of the Tibetan Buddhism in the Diaspora. It examines how the re-signification of Tibetan Buddhist practices and organizational structures in the present refers back to the dismantlement of the Tibetan state headed by the Dalai Lama and the fragmentation of Tibetan Buddhist religious organizations in general. It includes extensive multi-sited fieldwork conducted in the U...
Antropologia e performance
No teatro, nas artes performáticas, no cinema, na antropologia, na sociologia, na psicanálise, na linguísticas, nas pesquisas sobre folclores e nos estudos de gênero, o conceito de performance é formulado a partir de diferentes campos do saber e da expressão artística. Neste livro, três linhas mestras - drama, estética e ritual - que estruturam este conceito se trançam e transformam.
Caminhos do Divino
Brechas no cotidiano para reforçar ou negar a ordem social, construir identidade e memória e acabar com a indiferença, as festas criam um tempo e um espaço de imaginação e liberdade. Neste livro, somos convidados à Festa do Divino e, participando de seus pousos, folguedos, cortejos, banquetes, instantes de riso e choro, imaginamos os modos de vida da população do campo (e da cidade) no Brasil do século XXI. Mergulhando na experiência de uma festa tradicional que celebra a misericórdia de Deus ao enviar o Divino Espírito Santo e a generosidade do Divino e dos homens entre si, a autora mostra como o campo pode ser entendido como um tempo e um lugar de construção do futuro, justa...

Women, Business and the Law 2021
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
Em busca de uma poética da loucura
A busca por uma poética da loucura tem o seu interesse no modo de fazer cênico, isto é, a invenção de imagens e narrativas sobre a loucura com grupos teatrais cujos integrantes são usuários de instituições de saúde mental. Os Insênicos (BA) é o ponto de partida para apresentar e discutir significados e sentidos que se elaboram nas produções poéticas de um grupo teatral. Daqui se desdobram e se organizam outros passos como uma revisão de experiências teatrais e pesquisas visando a uma reflexão sobre aspectos que cruzam e sustentam a interface artes cênicas e saúde mental. Em seguida, a experiência criativa de Os Insênicos é aproximada da experiência de outros três gru...

Mission-Oriented Finance for Innovation
The role of the state in modern capitalism has gone beyond fixing market failures. Those regions and countries that have succeeded in achieving “smart” innovation-led growth have benefited from long-term visionary “mission-oriented” policies—from putting a man on the moon to tackling societal challenges such as climate change and the wellbeing of an ageing population. This book collects the experience of different types of mission-oriented public institutions around the world, together with thought-provoking chapters from leading economists. As the global debate on deficits and debt levels continues to roar, the book offers a challenge to the conventional narrative—asking what kinds of visionary fiscal policies we need to help promote "smart” innovation-led, inclusive, and sustainable growth.
