A Tribute to Celebrities
"A Tribute to Celebrities" features the work of renowned and just starting out graphic designers all of whom were asked to submit work on their favourite icon, famous person, well known or obscure figure or idol. The results are a fantastic collection of visual commentary on what it means to be a celebrity in the modern world, and how public figures are viewed by other artists.
Mi testamento filosófico
«La noche de mi muerte ocurrieron cosas extrañas en mi apartamento parisino...». Un Jean Guitton casi centenario imagina en Mi testamento filosófico su muerte, su entierro y su juicio. En su lecho de muerte dialoga con Pascal sobre las razones para creer en Dios, con Bergson sobre las razones para ser cristiano y con Pablo VI sobre las razones de ser católico. Durante su entierro conversa sobre el arte con el Greco, sobre el mal con de Gaulle, sobre el amor y la poesía con Dante y sobre la filosofía con Sócrates. En su juicio intervienen santa Teresa de Lisieux y François Mitterrand... Una obra de deliciosa lectura, en la que uno de los filósofos católicos más importantes del siglo XX renueva las cuestiones esenciales sobre el sentido de la vida y nos regala un testimonio lleno de sabiduría y humildad.

"Eu acho que eu existo, então por que eu não me vejo?"
"As mulheres detêm a metade do céu". Com esse provérbio chinês, os revolucionários asiáticos explicitavam a crença em não ser possível qualquer emancipação social sem a participação das mulheres em suas lutas. Bom seria que essa igualdade, que surge de forma tão transparente e descomplicada nessas poucas palavras, pudesse ser vivenciada na complexa experiência do ser mulher. Este livro tem por objetivo promover análises e reflexões acerca da dominação masculina na indústria cinematográfica. Entendendo-se o cinema, como forma de linguagem que é, como um instrumento poderoso de construção da realidade social – e não apenas de sua representação –, pretendeu-se verificar de que maneira a sub-representação feminina na produção fílmica acaba por contribuir para a perpetuação do habitus patriarcal, na medida em que transfere aos homens o verdadeiro domínio sobre o pensar, o agir e o sentir femininos. Afinal, se as mulheres existem, por que elas não se veem?

Latinos and American Law
To achieve justice and equal protection under the law, Latinos have turned to the U.S. court system to assert and defend their rights. Some of these cases have reached the United States Supreme Court, whose rulings over more than a century have both expanded and restricted the legal rights of Latinos, creating a complex terrain of power relations between the U.S. government and the country's now-largest ethnic minority. To map this legal landscape, Latinos and American Law examines fourteen landmark Supreme Court cases that have significantly affected Latino rights, from Botiller v. Dominguez in 1889 to Alexander v. Sandoval in 2001. Carlos Soltero organizes his study chronologically, lookin...
