Children’s Culture and Citizenship in Argentina
Argentina’s Billiken was the world’s longest-running children’s magazine, publishing 5144 issues over one hundred years. It educated and entertained generations of schoolchildren and came to occupy a central role in Argentine cultural life. This volume offers the first academic history of the whole lifespan of Billiken as a print magazine, through to its transition into a digital brand. As an editorial project founded at the time of the massification of print culture, Billiken was in the business of creating future citizens. From its transnational and literary beginnings, Billiken quickly became organised around the school year, offering valuable extra-curricular material aligned to th...
The Authoritarian Divide
In the context of the global decline of democracy, The Authoritarian Divide analyzes the tactics that populist leaders in Turkey, Venezuela, and Ecuador have used to polarize their countries. Political polarization is traditionally viewed as the result of competing left/right ideologies. In The Authoritarian Divide, Orçun Selçuk argues that, regardless of ideology, polarization is driven by dominant populist leaders who deliberately divide constituents by cultivating a dichotomy of inclusion and exclusion. This practice, known as affective leader polarization, stymies compromise and undermines the democratic process. Drawing on multiple qualitative and quantitative methodologies for support, as well as content from propaganda media such as public speeches, Muhtar Meetings, Aló Presidente, and Enlace Ciudadano, Selçuk details and analyzes the tactics used by three well-known populist leaders to fuel affective leader polarization: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador. Selçuk’s work provides a rubric for a better understanding of—and potential defense against—the rise in polarizing populism across the globe.
Immune evasion strategies in protozoan-host interactions
The protozoa are the most ancient members of the animal kingdom and they have evolved the intracellular parasitism to ensure their survival strategies. Protozoan parasites that infect humans are extremely diverse among eukaryotes. They are responsible for many human diseases such as amebiasis, Chagas disease, malaria, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis and African sleeping sickness. The ability of protozoans to cause disease depends on the nature and number of infecting organisms, the route of infection, the virulence factors associated with the microorganism, and the strength of host defenses. This host-parasite interaction is also subject to constant change as the infection proceeds and can lead...

Derecho, armonía y felicidad
La propuesta de este libro es abordar conceptos centrales de las leyes como qué es el Derecho, cómo funciona el Estado, qué es una Constitución, qué son los derechos humanos y muchos de los mecanismos para su defensa o protección; todas estas nociones se revisan desde una realidad nacional y latinoamericana, sin que por eso se omitan los marcos teóricos tradicionales y se dejen de lado los hitos de la historia universal. Pero también contempla significativos aspectos de originalidad como por ejemplo la introducción de la perspectiva de género y la perspectiva ambiental, el abordaje más actualizado que sigue las corrientes de mayor vanguardia en la defensa de los derechos de incidencia colectiva (no discriminación, ambiente, usuarios y consumidores) y da cuenta de la vinculación con las organizaciones no gubernamentales que actúan en su defensa a nivel nacional e internacional.
The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas
This handbook explores the political economy and governance of the Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences. Forty-six chapters cover a range of Inter-American key concepts and dynamics. The flow of peoples, goods, resources, knowledge and finances have on the one hand promoted interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link the countries of North and South America (including the Caribbean) together. On the other hand, they have contributed to profound asymmetries between different places. The nature of this transversally related and multiply interconnected hemispheric region can only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplina...
LOBBY NO JUDICIÁRIO: FEMINISMOS EM AUDIÊNCIA PÚBLICA
Nesta obra analisa-se a representatividade feminina perante o Supremo Tribunal Federal, quando há audiência pública em demandas que versem sobre direitos da personalidade feminina. Atributos psicofísicos do gênero feminino recebem a proteção jurídica denominada direitos da personalidade feminina. Para defesa desses direitos têm-se instrumentos democráticos, como as audiências públicas, que são abertas ao público e possibilitam a exposição de indivíduos, autoridades na temática, organizações não governamentais, associações civis, desde que previamente cadastradas e habilitadas. Após a exposição , os argumentos serão recepcionados (ou não) e farão parte da decisão processual em questão. Com a palavra, será que realmente são as mulheres quem fazem as exposições, cujas decisões irão impactar tão somente em suas vidas? Será as audiências públicas um instrumento de fácil acesso? O que é lobby feminista perante o Poder Judiciário? Adianta-se que esse lobby é uma democrática ferramenta à disposição das minorias e grupos vulneráveis.
