Fotografia: usos, repercussões e reflexões
Este livro reúne, em seus dez capítulos, contribuições de fotógrafos, pesquisadores e professores de fotografia de dez instituições brasileiras de ensino superior. Alguns dos trabalhos aqui apresentados estimulam o leitor a refletir sobre a linguagem e a estética fotográfica; outros apresentam propostas metodológicas inéditas de coleta e análise de fotografias. E há os que convidam o leitor para um passeio curioso e relaxante pelo mundo mágico da arte da fotografia, sendo que um deles trás o belíssimo resultado plástico de uma experiência imersiva de documentação fotográfica. Fotografia: usos, repercussões, reflexões, ao reunir modos distintos de pensar a fotografia, pretende, além de trazer novos conhecimentos ao leitor, ser uma ferramente auxiliar de ensino em sala de aula e transformar-se em fonte de pesquisa para a produção de novos materiais sobre fotografia, tanto em cursos de graduação quanto de pós-graduação lato e stricto sensu.
Mujer, fotografía e historia
Desde su aparición, la fotografía asiste a los procesos históricos por ser una forma de conocimiento y a su vez una categoría de pensamiento que construye y atraviesa el imaginario de una persona, de una sociedad y, en este caso, también de un género. Es así como este libro conforma una especie de palimpsesto de múltiples capas interconectadas, en el que cada elemento aporta un panorama global y un estudio de cómo la fotografía acompañó los procesos de constitución de las naciones latinoamericanas y, al mismo tiempo, cómo fue la amplia y activa participación de la mujer en esa construcción. El término historia comprende los hechos acontecidos pero también su narración. La intención es, por tanto, restituir a las mujeres en la historia del medio, reconocer su participación en la historia política y económica de los países reseñados y dar a conocer sus semblanzas. Cabe destacar las similitudes que se hallaron, en parte por los usos y costumbres que se perfilaron en el empleo del dispositivo fotográfico, pero también porque conformaron biografías tanto individuales, locales y nacionales como latinoamericanas.
War is Beautiful - The New York Times Pictorial Guide to the Glamour of Armed Conflict
Bestselling author David Shields analyzed over a decade's worth of front-page war photographs fromTheNew York Timesand came to a shocking conclusion: the photo-editing process ofthe "paper of record,"by way of pretty, heroic, and lavishly aesthetic image selection, pullsthe woolover the eyes of its readers; Shields forces us to face not only the the media's complicity in dubious and catastrophic military campaigns but our own as well.This powerful media mouthpiece, the mightyTimes, far from being a check on governmental power, is in reality a massive amplifier for its dark forces by virtue of the way it aestheticizeswarfare. Anyone baffled by the willful American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan can't help but see in this book how eagerly and invariably theTimesled the way in making the case for these wars through the manipulation of its visuals. Shields forces the reader to weigh the consequences of our own passivity in the face of these images' opiatic numbing. The photographs gathered inWar Is Beautiful, often beautiful and always artful, are filters of reality rather than the documentary journalism they purport to be.

Inventing Women
Inventing Women explores important and controversial debates about the gendering of science and technology and their relationship to women. This book discusses how such gendering occurs, the scientific basis for claims of sex difference, the medicalization of women's bodies and the political issues raised by reproductive technology. The book also examines women as producers of science and technology, both as professional scientists and as unskilled workers. It concludes by looking at women as consumers of technology and science - domestic technology and computers - and at their relationship with Nature. Inventing Women raises the question of whether feminism can produce not only a critique of science and technology, but a new feminist science and technology, and the systems and artefacts that go with it. This volume includes contributions which represent some of the best feminist scholarship in their fields. It can be used as a textbook and it will appeal to a wide audience in feminism and women's studies, sociology, education, science and technology, and medicine and health.

The Abandoned Generation
Henry Giroux continues his critique of the US political and popular culture 's influence on the lives of our children. In his controversial new book, Giroux argues that the US is at war with young people. No longer seen as the future of a democratic society, youth are now derided by politicians looking for quick-fix solutions to crime and demonized by the popular media. This perception of fear and disdain is being translated into social policy . Instead of providing a decent education to young people, we offer them the increasing potential of being incarcerated. Instead of guaranteeing them decent health care, we serve them more standardized tests. There's a war on in the US these days, and Giroux sees our youth as the target.
The Global Model of Constitutional Rights
The rapid spread of judicially-enforced constitutional rights has been one of the most dramatic developments in modern law. This book argues that there is now a global model for how such rights should function, and develops an original, philosophically grounded, account of their nature and scope.
