Gêneros, sexualidades e performatividades sempre foram temáticas geradoras de inúmeras discussões, trazendo perspectivas bastante distintas e, em sua grande maioria, nada críticas. A obra Gêneros, sexualidades e performatividades: perspectivas contemporâneas se constitui em um espaço de discussão acerca de perspectivas teóricas e empíricas, com base interdisciplinar, se propondo ao rompimento com as margens padronizadas e fornecendo discursos para além daqueles que pairam no senso comum.
A taxa de crescimento constante de matrículas na educação superior, fruto de contribuições das políticas públicas "de inclusão" adotadas no Brasil nas últimas décadas, como também da privatização exacerbada que a legislação brasileira tem possibilitado, não resultou em um processo de democratização, mas sim em um processo de massificação caracterizado pela mercantilização e privatização desse nível de ensino. O acesso foi facilitado e a população de estudantes de graduação tornou-se heterogênea sob o ponto de vista socioeconômico e cultural, o que representa um avanço civilizatório. Entretanto, as possibilidades de acesso, antes não existentes, não têm se ...
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.

The contributions focus on selected topics, which include (but is not limited to): Occupational safety Risk assessment Safety management Ergonomics Management systems Environmental ergonomics Physical environments Construction safety, and Human factors The contributions in Occupational Safety and Hygiene II are mainly based on research carried out at universities and other research institutions, but also on practical studies developed by Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Practitioners within their companies. Accordingly, this book will be a helpful text to get acquainted with the state-of-the-art of the research within the mentioned domains, as well as with some practical tools and approaches that are currently used by OHS professionals in a global context.

This book is principally concerned with the relatively complex small molecules produced by plants, which are important as drugs, fine chemicals, fragrances, flavours and biologically-active dietary constituents. In a wide-ranging series of thematic essays, it covers key aspects of their role in plant ecology, their metabolism in the plant, their discovery, characterisation and use and their significance in the diet. Biotechnology, including prospects for the genetic engineering of metabolic pathways, for biotransformations and also for the production of biologically-active proteins, is the focus of the final section of the book. The overall aim of the volume is to provide, in each of the selected subject areas, a personal critique which is readily accessible to the advanced undergraduate student and to the non-specialist research worker alike.
