Direito Democracia e Internet
"As diferentes abordagens trazidas pela obra Direito, democracia & internet: perspectivas constitucionais e comparadas permitem ao leitor identificar como o eixo central analítico do livro assume e demanda a investigação inter- e transdisciplinar na área do Direito, particularmente as intersecções entre teoria do direito, antropologia jurídica, direito constitucional, ciência política, relações internacionais, economia, direito comparado e o direito internacional. A perspectiva constitucional comparada, por sua vez, também presente na concepção de muitos capítulos, dialoga diretamente com o objeto do fenômeno constitucional. É possível verificar que a constitucionalização...
Complexo de refugiados em Dadaab
Esta obra tem como objetivo principal analisar se o prolongamento da existência dos campos de refugiados em Dadaab configura estado de exceção permanente, utilizando-se do aporte teórico do nexo nascimento-nação de Hannah Arendt e da biopolítica de Giorgio Agamben. Para que seja possível o seu desenvolvimento, o trabalho se desdobra em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo estuda o rompimento do nexo nascimento-nação em Arendt, tendo em vista que os critérios tradicionais de nascimento no território ou por sangue, adotados pelo Estado-nação contemporâneo, não são suficientes para englobar todos indivíduos na categoria de cidadão. Como consequência, as minorias – person...
Arte, Política & Direito
A presente publicação nasce de uma convicção e de uma inquietude que marcam todas as iniciativas do grupo internacional de pesquisa “Direitos humanos: raízes e asas”. A dignidade humana, tema privilegiado das atividades de pesquisa do grupo, demanda, em virtude da sua própria natureza, uma abordagem que transcenda os limites disciplinares. E esta não é uma exigência exclusiva da dignidade humana, ou ainda, do Direito. A complexidade do mundo da cultura e de seus produtos, enquanto criações humanas, põe um desafio a mais para todo esforço cognitivo que os tenha como objeto. - Karine Salgado. Initia Via Editora
An African Slaving Port and the Atlantic World
This book traces the history and development of the port of Benguela, the third largest port of slave embarkation on the coast of Africa, from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Benguela, located on the central coast of present-day Angola, was founded by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth century. In discussing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of new elites, the collapse of old states and the emergence of new states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and political changes on the African coast. This book emphasizes the importance of the South Atlantic as a space for the circulation of people, ideas and crops.
Constitutional Erosion in Brazil
This book provides a fascinating analysis of a single jurisdiction, Brazil, and accounts for both the successes and the failures of its most recent constitutional project, inaugurated by the Constitution of 1988. It sets out the following aspects of the constitutional development and erosion: - the different phases of the promised transition from military rule to a 'social-democratic constitutionalism'; - the obstacles to democratisation derived from the absence of true institutional reforms in the judicial branch and in the civil-military relationship; - the legal and social practices which maintained a structure that obstructed the emergence of an effective social-democracy, such as the ne...

Texts from the Middle
Texts from the Middle is a companion primary source reader to the textbook The Sea in the Middle. It can be used alone or in conjunction with the textbook, providing an original history of the Middle Ages that places the Mediterranean at the geographical center of the study of the period from 650 to 1650. Building on the textbook’s unique approach, these sources center on the Mediterranean and emphasize the role played by peoples and cultures of Africa, Asia, and Europe in an age when Christians, Muslims, and Jews of various denominations engaged with each other in both conflict and collaboration. The supplementary reader mirrors the main text’s fifteen-chapter structure, providing six sources per chapter. The two texts pair together to provide a framework and materials that guide students through this complex but essential history—one that will appeal to the diverse student bodies of today.
The Idea of Justice in Literature
The theme arises from the legal-academic movement "Law and Literature". This newly developed field should aim at two major goals, first, to investigate the meaning of law in a social context by questioning how the characters appearing in literary works understand and behave themselves to the law (law in literature), and second, to find out a theoretical solution of the methodological question whether and to what extent the legal text can be interpreted objectively in comparison with the question how literary works should be interpreted (law as literature). The subject of justice and injustice has been covered not only in treatises of law and philosophy, but also in many works of literature: On the one hand, poets and writers have been outraged at the social conditions of their time. On the other hand, some of them have also contributed fundamental reflections on the idea of justice itself.
Becoming Brazuca
Brazilians in the United States are a relatively new wave of immigrants from South America. This volume offers a broad-ranging discussion of an understudied population and also brings insights into the core issues of immigration research: how immigration can complicate issues of social class, race, and ethnicity, how it intersects with the educational system, and how it fits into the assimilation paradigm.
