"O presente livro, em sua segunda edição, inclui algumas das mulheres que têm escrito, nas suas áreas de atuação, uma "nova" história que denuncia e reivindica por igualdade de gênero, atenção às vulnerabilidades e um olhar diferenciado sobre o cuidado, na tentativa de alinhar o Direito Civil aos direitos humanos e fundamentais. São elas, juristas brasileiras comprometidas com a tarefa de analisar criticamente o Direito, em especial, o Direito das Famílias. Tornaram-se audíveis nas Universidades, por meio de suas atividades de ensino e pesquisa, no Ministério Público, no Judiciário, na advocacia pública e privada. Seu desempenho tem deixado marcas indeléveis, tanto pela se...
Esta obra aborda as controvérsias que cercam a sucessão legítima no Brasil, focando em duas questões centrais: a exclusão prévia do direito de concorrência e o status jurídico do cônjuge e do convivente como herdeiros. Propõe-se uma discussão aprofundada e fundamentada, buscando soluções que respeitem a justiça social e a regulamentação da vida conjugal. Desta forma, no tocante ao direito concorrencial, não obstante a necessidade de sua preservação, pretende-se demonstrar que é possível a sua exclusão prévia, lege lata, com o apoio na técnica de ponderação e na metodologia civil-constitucional; bem assim nas interpretações jurídicas (semântica, literal e gramati...
O termo ‘alimentos’ surgiu no direito romano como decorrência do dever de afeto, officium pietatis, e do termo caritas que foi criação da igreja na época, o qual consistia na caridade dos mais poderosos com os mais fracos. Alimentos são pensões, ordenados, ou outras quaisquer quantias concedidas ou dadas, a título de provisão, assistência ou manutenção, a uma pessoa por outra que, por força de lei, é obrigada
"O maior mérito da presente obra reside em não apenas colocar a questão nos devidos termos, como acima indicado, mas principalmente em apresentar a conciliação de situações aparentemente antagônicas: a cessação da incapacidade e a proteção do adolescente. Com base no artigo 12 da Convenção Internacional sobre os Direitos da Criança, dispositivo poucas vezes invocado, a autora resolve o aparente problema. Com perspicácia, demonstra que a função precípua da emancipação no direito brasileiro contemporâneo é ser o instrumento de viabilização da atuação jurígena do adolescente que tenha condições de exercer essa capacidade progressiva. A partir dessa perspectiva foi ...
Tourism has long been considered a source of social inequality, and as the industry continues to expand rapidly there is an increasing need for a better understanding of its consequences. Providing a synthesis of tourism as a source of injustice, Tourism and Inequality addresses a wide range of interrelated forms of inequality, investigating its association with class, nation, ethnicity, race, gender, disability and age. Chapters examine routes towards social justice and initiatives that aim to advance poverty alleviation, fair trade, ethics and human rights. The analysis of a wide variety of case studies from around the world allows an exploration into the ways that tourism can be used positively to alleviate the impacts of social injustice. Providing a unique multidisciplinary perspective, the authors aim to lead the way towards a more socially responsible future for tourism practice. This book provides a useful resource for students of tourism and tourism management, as well as industry professionals and policy makers.
What is Ornament?' is a question which doesn?t need definitive answers but instead prompts a series of possible discussions. The book is organized as a reader: a collection of contributions, ranging from Vitruvius to the current day dealing, in different ways with the debate around ornament. The reader is the theoretical complement of the homonym exhibition, part of the 5th Lisbon Architecture Triennale?The Poetics of Reason?. The book reflects the narrative structure of the exhibition: looking at fragments and moldings as the occasion in which ornament is discrete and condensed into few precise points; considering columns as ambivalent structural elements; looking at cladding as a conscious...

As with other areas of tourism, the field is multidisciplinary, and is influenced by various discipli...
