Fernando Pessoa and Philosophy
This pioneering volume explores the extraordinary Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) and his relationship to philosophy. On the one hand, this book reveals Pessoa’s serious knowledge of philosophy and playful philosophical explorations and how he has the gift of synthesizing, appropriating, and subverting complex ideas into his art; and, on the other hand, the chapters shed new light on central aspects and problems of philosophy through the prism of Pessoa’s diverse writings. The volume includes sixteen new essays from an international group of scholars, analyzing Pessoa’s multifaceted poetic work alongside philosophical themes and movements, from conceptions of time, ancien...

Territories of Difference
In Territories of Difference, Arturo Escobar, author of the widely debated book Encountering Development, analyzes the politics of difference enacted by specific place-based ethnic and environmental movements in the context of neoliberal globalization. His analysis is based on his many years of engagement with a group of Afro-Colombian activists of Colombia’s Pacific rainforest region, the Proceso de Comunidades Negras (PCN). Escobar offers a detailed ethnographic account of PCN’s visions, strategies, and practices, and he chronicles and analyzes the movement’s struggles for autonomy, territory, justice, and cultural recognition. Yet he also does much more. Consistently emphasizing the...

Edição e [des]alinhamento
O autor Alessandro Flaviano de Souza traz para o campo interdisciplinar dos estudos de cultura contemporânea uma discussão sobre a plasticidade estrutural da edição em narrativas seriadas na internet. O universo observado dentro de Netflix é formado pelas séries 3%, Edha e Sempre Bruxa, nas quais a importância social da edição audiovisual é abordada em sua pertinência para o processo criativo e cultural. Num momento em que o audiovisual é tratado como fenômeno cultural e principal meio de comunicação, este livro abre espaço para uma outra percepção sobre a edição audiovisual.
História da Igreja Católica - 2a Edição
Poucas instituições têm uma capacidade de sobrevivência e de adaptação como aquela que a Igreja Católica tem revelado ao longo de mais de 2000 anos de existência, num percurso conturbado. Além disso, influenciou a matriz civilizacional de várias culturas e adquiriu uma dimensão que é, hoje, inegavelmente universal. Num só volume, esta obra retrata a Igreja Católica, desde a sua fundação aos nossos dias: os seus actores, os problemas que enfrentou, os cismas, divisões e os desafios que o futuro lhe apresenta, tentando situar os acontecimentos à luz da sua época. Culmina em pleno pontificado de João Paulo II, de que tenta já fazer um balanço crítico.
The Ground Beneath the Cross
This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the thought of Ignacio Ellacuría, the Jesuit philosopher-theologian martyred for his work on behalf of Latin America's oppressed peoples. While serving as president of the Jesuit-run University of Central America in the midst of El Salvador's brutal civil war, Ellacuría was also a prolific writer. His advocacy on behalf of the country's persecuted majority provoked the enmity of the Salvadoran political establishment. On November 16, 1989, members of the Salvadoran military entered the university's campus and murdered Ellacuría, along with five other Jesuit priests and two women. Kevin F. Burke, SJ, shows why Ellacuría is significant not o...
