O Direito Internacional está sempre confrontado a regular novas temáticas e perspectivas e na maioria das vezes o faz a partir de instrumentos tradicionais. Este é exatamente o retrato desta obra que apresenta pontos inovadores como a emergência climática, a serem trabalhados a partir da tradicional integração e solidariedade entre os membros da comunidade internacional. Mas podemos nos perguntar se esses instrumentos tradicionais também não estão sendo redesenhados para essas novas perspectivas, tendo em vista a capacidade de adaptação que esse ramo do direito tão bem representa. É isso que deve ser avaliado em cada uma das partes desta obra que ora são apresentadas.
Para Além-Mar reúne palavra, sentimento, entrega e amadurecimento. Construído durante os últimos anos da adolescência e primeiros anos da vida adulta da autora, o conjunto de poemas reúne os questionamentos, ansiedades, dúvidas, descobertas — desse período singular da vida de uma mulher em constante aprendizagem — e revelações sobre si e sobre aquilo que a envolve. A coletânea oscila entre os vários momentos que atingem o interior do ser humano, da mulher construída e formatada pelo século XXI: a descoberta do próprio corpo, a sensação de amar, as dores e pressões sobre a estética e o lugar ocupado na sociedade. Todas essas tensões levam a questionamentos que a poesia não visa responder, mas, sim, dissecar e adentrar para revelar todas suas fragilidades e falhas. Para Além-Mar é, antes de mais nada, um livro sobre identificação, produzido da confissão de um sujeito, mas que se faz reverberar sobre outros muitos.
Esta obra é desenvolvida no âmbito do Direito Internacional sem Fronteiras. O grande anseio desta coletânea, bem como da Apresentação é evidenciar a urgente necessidade de criar diálogos interdisciplinares, sempre partindo de uma perspectiva humana, justa, ética e sustentável, principalmente em contextos como o que estamos vivendo. No final de 2019, o mundo viu a epidemia se alastrando da Ásia para o Ocidente – dessa maneira, tornando-se uma pandemia de dimensões multilaterais1 . Ainda não há vacinas e antivirais que sejam comprovadamente efetivos para o coronavírus (causador da COVID19), e, neste cenário de incertezas, notou-se que as soluções mais eficientes para o comba...
