The Spiritual Rococo
A groundbreaking approach to Rococo religious d?r and spirituality in Europe and South America, The Spiritual Rococo addresses three basic conundrums that impede our understanding of eighteenth-century aesthetics and culture. Why did the Rococo, ostensibly the least spiritual style in the pre-Modern canon, transform into one of the world?s most important modes for adorning sacred spaces? And why is Rococo still treated as a decadent nemesis of the Enlightenment when the two had fundamental characteristics in common? This book seeks to answer these questions by treating Rococo as a global phenomenon for the first time and by exploring its moral and spiritual dimensions through the lens of pop...

O objetivo deste livro é contar a história de resistência dos advogados perante os tribunais da República. A própria pesquisa foi alvo de repressão e censura, que acabou levando o autor à tribuna do Superior Tribunal Militar, palco da resistência judiciária contra a ditadura pós-64. Este trabalho traz, de maneira cronológica, a atuação dos advogados contra o "desenvolvimento" das leis de repressão e controle social, que deram campo fértil às leis de segurança. A obra não tem a pretensão de cobrir toda atuação de uma classe de lutadores pelas garantias individuais frente à opressão, mas contar, sim, um pouco desta história. A história dos advogados criminalistas em defesa de presos políticos é a oportunidade para relatar a seqüência de leis penais em repressão às classes dominadas e a criminalização de qualquer atitude que vá de encontro aos interesses da classe dominante, em cada época.
