Pensar Portugal: A Modernidade de um País Antigo
Pensar Portugal – A Modernidade de um País Antigo é um livro de pequenos ensaios de ciências sociais e humanas, que apresentam e discutem assuntos e problemas relativos a Portugal. São ensaios que constituem estudos de caso, embora tenham a forma de crónicas. O ponto de vista não é propriamente filosófico, nem estético, nem político. É um exercício de compreensão do mundo contemporâneo, tendo as ciências sociais e humanas como enquadramento teórico. Estes ensaios filiam-se no reconhecimento de um pensamento da prática, e também no reconhecimento da importância do imaginário em toda a estruturação social. O livro está organizado em seis partes. Cada parte é iniciada por um capítulo teórico. A função destes capítulos é a de enquadrar, teórica e metodologicamente, os pequenos ensaios, colocadas no registo específico de cada uma das partes do livro.

Políticas de Ciência e da Língua, Publicação Científica e Rankings Académicos
O campo científico conheceu um desenvolvimento exponencial no último meio século. Em Portugal, foi sobretudo nas últimas duas décadas que se registou a intensificação das atividades de investigação em todas as áreas. Não obstante o aumento significativo de resultados, as políticas para a ciência suscitam hoje inquietações, que sugerem uma reflexão profunda sobre as opções estratégicas das instituições de decisão e gestão. Hoje, são desafios que exigem discussão pública a insuficiência do financiamento, os padrões de qualidade e a sobrevalorização de métricas, assim como os sistemas de avaliação e os rankings, da mesma forma que a hegemonia do inglês como lí...
Narratives of Difference in Globalized Cultures
This book is about how the marketing of transnational cultural commodities capitalizes on difference and its appeal for cosmopolitan consumers in our postmodern globalized world. At what price? What ethical and political conundrums does the artist/writer/reader confront when going global? This volume analyzes why difference - whether gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, or linguistic - has become such a prominent element in the contemporary cultural field, and the effects of this prevalence on the production, circulation and reception of cultural commodities in the context of globalization. At the intersection of globalization, diaspora, postcolonial and feminist studies in world literature, these essays engage critically with a wide variety of representative narratives taken from diverse cultural fields, including humanitarian fiction, multilingual poetry, painting, text-image art, performance art, film, documentary, and docu-poetry. The chapters included offer counter-readings that disrupt hegemonic representations of cultural identity within the contemporary, neoliberal and globalized landscape.

Creole Language, Democracy, and the Illegible State in Cabo Verde
This book argues that the state in Cabo Verde is illegible since its operations, procedures, and processes are carried out through Portuguese, a language that most of the people do not understand.

Strategic Communication in Context: Theoretical Debates and Applied Research
Strategic communication is becoming more relevant in communication sciences, though it needs to deepen its reflective practices, especially considering its potential in a VUCA world — volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The capillary, holistic and result-oriented nature that portrays this scientific field has led to the imperative of expanding knowledge about the different approaches, methodologies and impacts in all kinds of organisations when strategic communication is applied. Therefore Strategic Communication in Context: Theoretical Debates and Applied Research assembles several studies and essays by renowned authors who explore the topic from different angles, thus testing the elasticity of the concept. Moreover, this group of authors represents various schools of thought and geographies, making this book particularly rich and cross-disciplinary.
