Organization Studies and Posthumanism
This book aims at exploring the reception of critical posthumanist conversations in the context of Management and Organization Studies. It constitutes an invitation to de-center the human subject and thus an invitation to the ongoing deconstruction of humanism. The project is not to deny humans but to position them in relation to other nonhumans, more-than-humans, the non-living world, and all the “missing masses” from organizational inquiry. What is under critique is humanism’s anthropocentrism, essentialism, exceptionalism, and speciesism in the context of the Anthropocene and the contemporary crisis the world experiences. From climate change to the loss of sense at work, to the new geopolitical crisis, to the unknown effects of the diffusion of AI, all these powerful forces have implications for organizations and organizing. A re-imagination of concepts, theories, and methods is needed in organization studies to cope with the challenge of a more-than-human world.
Transcending Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Work
The book reflects on ways of transcending Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) by establishing a dialogue between the professional experience of the authors and experts from academia and practitioners from financial services and executive search. The book emphasises the link and impact between what is taught and what is learned about EDI and how this reflects on later choices in career and workplace status. The book offers a critical and global perspective, emphasizing the multilocality and intersectionality dimension of diversity and unpicks key insights from different conceptualizations, like class, gender and postcolonialism and their relationship with the current paradigm of diversity...
Posthumanism and Education: Transgression or Interdependence
This collection delves into the ongoing debates spanning decades on the intricate interplay between posthumanism, the posthuman age, and education. Featuring authors from diverse backgrounds and theoretical perspectives, the chapters explore a spectrum of themes – from technophilia to technophobia, transhumanism to humanism, and Bildung tradition to new materialism – illuminating key dimensions of education in what is heralded as a new and distinct era. At the heart of these discussions is an exploration of whether this era truly marks a radical departure and how it influences educational practices. The chapters offer arguments both supporting and challenging these ideas, advocating for critical reflection and a fresh perspective on human experience and contemporary education. The collection suggests a creative and considerate approach to children's learning and learning with children, which would not only respond to the challenges of imposed circumstances but also suggest active work on the desirable construction of new ones.
Sustainable Human Resource Management
Global trends favor balanced development, integrating socio-economic and environmental aspects. Sustainable development, emphasized by international organizations and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, has evolved into Industry 5.0. Unlike Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 prioritizes social justice and sustainable development, focusing on human-centricity, ecological balance, and resilience. It advocates for circular processes, reduced waste, and lowered environmental impact. The transition to a green economy requires bottom-up efforts from eco-entrepreneurs. In the era of knowledge-based economies, enterprises emphasize sustainable development, including the transition to Sustainable Human R...

Riscos de Fraude e Corrupção no Programa de Financiamento Europeu - Reflexões e Alertas
O conjunto de artigos que compõem o projeto traduz a reflexão de alguns elementos do Observatório de Economia e Gestão de Fraude (detentores de experiências entre a academia e os territórios do controlo e prevenção de riscos de gestão nas organizações públicas e privadas), sobre a problemática dos riscos de fraude e corrupção no processo de atribuição de apoios financeiros pela União Europeia aos Estados-membros na conjuntura atual da pandemia provocada pelo Covid-19.
Doenças infecciosas e parasitárias no contexto brasileiro – Volume 4
O que lhe vem à mente ao ler o termo “doenças infecciosas e parasitárias”? E se adicionarmos “no contexto brasileiro” – sua resposta mudaria? É certo que as doenças infecciosas e parasitárias (DIP) não escolhem alvos, mas sabemos que as condições climáticas, socioeconômicas e sanitárias do Brasil tornam nosso país e, em especial, determinados grupos populacionais, mais vulneráveis a elas. Em certa medida, sabemos o que precisa ser feito para diagnosticar, tratar, combater e prevenir as DIP. Porém, mesmo uma base científica sólida pode ser insuficiente para impedir os danos causados por um patógeno e a doença a ele associada. Em algum nível seremos afetados; e, para minimizar o impacto do desconhecido, a busca por conhecimento deve ser contínua. Neste cenário, temos o prazer de apresentar a obra “Doenças Infecciosas e Parasitárias no Contexto Brasileiro” em dois novos volumes, os quais reúnem mais de 50 capítulos que agregam conhecimentos atualizados sobre as mais diversas DIP. Esperamos que esta obra seja lida como um referencial, que fomente ideias, promova debates e seja vista como exemplo de força da produção científica nacional.
