Tempos difíceis
Governo Biden: desafios internos e geopolíticos Se o governo Biden prometia normalizar a política interna e externa dos Estados Unidos, acabou contrastado vigorosamente pela realidade interna, de um país polarizado, e externa, de um cenário global de crescente e preocupante hostilidade entre potências. O presente volume reflete sobre todos esses temas, abordando a política doméstica, a geopolítica e a economia internacional dos Estados Unidos, e constitui potente contribuição para o debate acerca do momento atual do gigante norte-americano.
Trump: primeiro tempo
Trump personifica uma figura que parece estar criando escola em âmbito global: a do político autoritário, com pronunciamentos eivados por xenofobia, racismo, machismo, destruição do estado de bem-estar social e desprezo por qualquer ideia de alteridade, desafiando os pactos estabelecidos desde o Pós-Guerra. No limite, esse tipo de atuação política, sobretudo à frente de uma potência como os Estados Unidos, representa um risco à segurança coletiva mundial e aos pilares da democracia moderna. Como resposta a esse preocupante quadro, o presente livro considera o modo como se deu a ascensão política de Trump, suas implicações e a consequente deterioração dos processos democráticos, não apenas no continente americano, mas em todo o planeta.
A Economia Política do Governo Trump
Este livro aborda, por meio de linguagem clara e acessível, as principais questões relacionadas ao comércio internacional, ao desenvolvimento, às finanças e à tecnologia tratadas ao longo do mandato de Donald Trump. Desde o início de seu governo, de forma esperada em razão de seu estilo excessivamente combativo e autopromocional, Donald Trump apresentou suas políticas como se fossem as mais acertadas de todos os tempos, e propagandeou a necessidade de rupturas com o passo para uma eventual retomada da liderança política e econômica norte-americana. Só nas primeiras três semanas de sua intensa gestão, Trump assinou uma série de ordens executivas para desfazer muitas das polít...
Acordos comerciais internacionais
A constituição de uma identidade - fazendo-se também pela definição do que se lhe opõe, isto é, da diferença - incorpora em sua bipolaridade as dimensões política e social porque nela, como salienta Jacques Derrida (1991), um dos polos é necessariamente privilegiado em relação ao outro e, de consequência, expressão de uma relação de poder. Stuart Hall retoma Derrida quando afirma que "a constituição de uma identidade social é um ato de poder (...) pois se uma identidade consegue se afirmar é apenas por meio da repressão daquilo que a ameaça".
The Cuban Revolution
For more than fifty years, the revolutionary experience in Cuba was the stage for such re markable personalities as Che Guevara and for dramatic events like the missile crisis. All these 20th century historic icons are interwoven with the deep internal restructuring of the Cuban economy and society, and the related challenge to the United States' prior unopposed hegemony over Latin America. The complexities of these elements should not be dismissed, for, in them selves, they are an explanation for the passions and interpretative battles that are evoked still today by this Caribbean revolution.
Contrastive Pragmatics
We have recently seen a broadening of pragmatics to new areas and to the study of more than one language. This is illustrated by the present volume on Contrastive Pragmatics which brings together a number of articles originally presented at the 10th International Pragmatics Conference in Göteborg in 2007. The contributions deal with pragmatic phenomena such as speech acts, discourse markers and modality in different language pairs using theoretical approaches such as politeness theory, Conversation Analysis, Appraisal Theory, grammaticalization and cultural textology. Also discourse practices and genres may differ across cultures as illustrated by the study of TV news shows in different countries. Contrastive pragmatics also includes the comparative study of pragmatic phenomena from a foreign language perspective, a new area with implications for language teaching and intercultural communication. The contributions to this volume were originally published in Languages in Contrast 9:1 (2009).
The Last Word
If there is such a thing as reason, it has to be universal. Reason must reflect objective principles whose validity is independent of our point of view--principles that anyone with enough intelligence ought to be able to recognize as correct. But this generality of reason is what relativists and subjectivists deny in ever-increasing numbers. And such subjectivism is not just an inconsequential intellectual flourish or badge of theoretical chic. It is exploited to deflect argument and to belittle the pretensions of the arguments of others. The continuing spread of this relativistic way of thinking threatens to make public discourse increasingly difficult and to exacerbate the deep divisions o...
