Advances in Design, Music and Arts II
This book presents cutting-edge methods and findings that are expected to contribute to significant advances in the areas of communication design, fashion design, interior design and product design, as well as musicology and other related areas. It especially focuses on the role of digital technologies, and on strategies fostering creativity, collaboration, education, as well as sustainability and accessibility in the broadly-intended field of design. Gathering the proceedings of the 8th EIMAD conference, held on July 7–9, 2022, and organized by the School of Applied Arts of the Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco, in Portugal, this book offers a timely guide and a source of inspiration for designers of all kinds, advertisers, artists, and entrepreneurs, as well as educators and communication managers.

The Mechanism
INTRODUCTION BY MISHA GLENNY, author of McMafia A gripping narrative of power, corruption and greed, The Mechanism is the true story of how a simple investigation into money laundering uncovered the biggest corruption scandal in human history. When a small team of investigators discovered that a black market currency dealer was operating out of a Brazilian petrol station, they could never have imagined that their work would destroy the government and lead to the impeachment of two presidents. As the trail leads further and further into the centre of power, the search for the truth and pursuit of justice become ever more crucial. Taut and riveting, with more plot twists than the most compelling political thriller, The Mechanism is an essential work of non-fiction that exposes the rottenness caused when politicians and big businesses believe they are above the law.
O GenocÃdio Racial no Brasil: Uma Análise CrÃtica do Discurso sobre Naturalizações do Racismo
O acesso à informação está cada dia mais intenso; pela internet, as pessoas estão podendo interagir como em nenhuma outra época, e dessa interação nascem vários debates sobre temas nunca antes discutidos em larga escala. Um desses temas é o que veremos aqui no livro: o racismo contemporâneo. Fernandes (2007) discorre sobre a situação marginal do negro hoje, afirmando que a destituição do escravo se processou no Brasil de forma tão dura, que ela representou a última espoliação sofrida, muito mais que uma dádiva ou uma oportunidade concreta. Segundo Frantz Fanon (2008), em Pele negra, máscaras brancas, o racismo não é mais que um elemento entre outros num conjunto mais v...
Souto de Moura
Among contemporary Portuguese architects there is a large group whose members, while trained or influenced by Alvaro Siza, have embarked on an independent line of common research; one of these is Eduardo Souto de Moura (b.1952). This monograph presents the designer who has combined great attention to the 'principle of settlement' with a respect for local architecture, expressed through the use of natural materials. Souto de Moura transforms the figurative elements of classical architecture using a modern sensibility. A minimalist approach and the discreet use of local materials are the essential components of his activity. Among his best known projects: the Municipal Market in Braga (1980-84), the cultural centre for the S.E.C. at Oporto (1981-91), houses at Miramar (1987-91) and Alcanena (1987-92), the patio houses at Matosinhos (1993-99) and the Portuguese pavilion at the Hannover Expo 2000 with Siza (1999). Essays by the authors, along with an interview with Siza, Francisco TÃ vora, and Souto de Moura himself, introduce the architect's work.

Media Leaks and Corruption in Brazil
Analyzing the political consequences of the most extensive corruption investigation in recent Latin American history, Operação Lava-Jato, Media Leaks and Corruption in Brazil answers two central questions about the contradictory effects news media has on political systems. First, how can political actors in a seemingly well-functioning democracy quickly override checks and balances, and replace a head of state with a corrupt vice-president? Second, how can very active news media, while ostensibly performing the role of the watchdog, still fail to deliver media accountability to the public? Combining a quantitative view of the media sphere with case studies of the leaks, legal actions, and ...
A Luta pela Democracia no Brasil
Por que o PaÃs se encontra tão combalido e impassÃvel, sem capacidade de reagir ao atual cenário, pois, num processo de autofagia, observa gradativa ruÃna em diferentes cenários de crise? Em parte, talvez se explique essa impassibilidade a partir dos fatos que se sucederam após o desembarque de Tomé de Souza na Bahia, em março de 1549. Ele trazia consigo as disposições expressas sobre o Regimento do Governo e, entre outras iniciativas polÃtico-administrativas, preparou o terreno para pôr fim ao descentralismo senhorial das capitanias hereditárias, além de implantar a ordem jurÃdica portuguesa na Colônia. Diante de tal cenário, este volume discorre sobre os antecedentes à Ã...
