Autonomia reprodutiva e embrião criopreservado

Com o desenvolvimento social e biotecnológico novos fenômenos surgem, exigindo do Direito respostas para conflitos e situações não antes pensadas. Nesse contexto, encontra-se a técnica de Reprodução Assistida. Apesar dessa técnica ter surgido há mais de 4 décadas, conflitos cada vez mais complexos emergem no que tange ao uso dessa tecnologia. Desse modo, ao se constatar que casos de disputa acerca da destinação do embrião criopreservado têm sido reportados nos mais variados países (Reino Unido, Itália, Israel, Brasil, Estados Unidos etc.), resultando em diferentes resoluções para esses conflitos, surge a indagação se, no cenário brasileiro, caberia revogar o consentimen...

'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.

DO ACESSO À JUSTIÇA NO DIREITO DAS FAMÍLIAS E SUCESSÕES

O programa de pesquisa de mestrado e doutorado da UEL pode ser definido pela excelência. E este já terceiro livro o atesta claramente. A Professora Dra. Rozane Cachapuz os coordena com maestria, e o que se verifica é o que tomo a liberdade em identificar na área acadêmica como o direito à diferença. E, assim, é que se faz a diferença no Direito.

DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS, DIGNIDADE, CONSTITUIÇÃO: ESTUDOS EM HOMENAGEM A INGO WOLFGANG SARLET

Um avião cheio de passageiros é sequestrado por radicais que pretendem fazer com que atinja uma área densamente povoada. Cogita-se abatê-lo, mas esse dilema político, moral e jurídico implica uma discussão a respeito da dignidade. Tema incontornável no estudo dos direitos fundamentais, a dignidade é abordada nesta coletânea de forma atual e aprofundada.

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.

Written in three parts, War Trilogy is a dazzling and anarchic exploration of social relations which offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of humanity, history, violence, art and science. The first part follows a writer who travels to the small, uninhabited island of San Simon, where he witnesses events which impel him on a journey across several continents, chasing the phantoms of nameless people devastated by violence. The second book is narrated by Kurt, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on their mythical first voyage to the moon. Now living in Miami, an ageing Kurt revisits the important chapters of his life: from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In the third part, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the Normandy coast with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, the memory of another trip taken years before. On her journey along the rugged coastline, she comes across a number of locals, but also thousands of refugees newly arrived on Europe's shores, whose stories she follows on the TV in her lodgings.

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 ...

Labyrinth

Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.
