Children’s and youth telenovelas: essays on the poetics of works by Íris Abravanel
This book is the result of several years of research on children’s and youth telenovelas, which began during my doctoral studies and with previously disseminated productions in the form of conference papers, scientific articles, and book chapters, but always in the Portuguese language. More than a compilation of these materials, the purpose of this book is to rescue the presented concepts, while updating them, and reconsidering the analyses conducted by intersecting them. It also aims to contribute to the internationalization of the research by presenting it in a new language (English), going beyond the limits of the Portuguese-speaking world.
New Insights into the Prevention and Treatment of Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa and eating disorders are common cause of distress and health related burden for young women and men. Despite major advances over the past three decades many patients come late to treatment and find that the therapy is incompletely addressed to the complex psychopathology and co-morbidities of the illness. The present book brings timely and contemporary understandings of bulimia nervosa to aid in current thinking regarding prevention and treatment. It will be read by therapists interested in enhancing their current approaches and those interested in earlier and more effective prevention and closing the gap between illness onset and accessing treatment. They will find practical guidance but also new ideas and ways of thinking about bulimia nervosa and the illness experience in this book.
Brazilian Youth
The collection brings together texts of Brazilian researchers who are dedicated to themes related to studies of youth cultures: social interactions, subcultures, identities and belonging, pop culture, social movements, migration, consumption and materialities, generational exchanges, media representations and digital media, among others. The objective is to promote a broad dialogue that includes fields of knowledge such as communication and social sciences, as well as local perspectives that represent the huge and rich diversity of the Brazilian regions. At the same time, the book proposes to discuss the reflexivity of such local youth cultures in the face of a global context that challenges, with ruptures and permanencies, the very idea of youth. The book seeks to fill the gap of a selection of scientific texts by Brazilian authors, about Brazilian youth cultures, aimed at foreign researchers.

Ser mãe é f*d@!
Amo meu filho, detesto ser mãe. Em anos recentes, mulheres têm acionado as mídias sociais para debaterem uma série de problemáticas relacionadas à vivência feminina, à maternidade e à não maternidade. Demandas, contradições, piadas, desabafos, críticas, incentivos, disputas, conselhos, denúncias, ironias e gentilezas se emaranham das postagens às seções de comentários. A pesquisadora e escritora Ana Luiza de Figueiredo Souza mergulhou (e permanece mergulhada) nesse fenômeno para investigar os movimentos históricos por trás dele, quais conjunturas políticas, econômicas, socioculturais e tecnológicas permitem que ele aconteça, junto a atritos e redes de apoio que surgem entre mulheres com posicionamentos e trajetórias distintas. Baseado em pesquisa vencedora do Prêmio Compós e na própria atuação em campo da pesquisadora, o livro apresenta um original e necessário panorama sobre as tensões que perpassam a delicada — e não por isso menos intensa — relação entre mulheres com ou sem filhos e aquilo que foi construído como destino de todas elas: a maternidade.
A glamourização da juventude
O imaginário da juventude na produção mediática é pautada pelos interesses do capital na contemporaneidade, especialmente pelo alto poder de consumo dos que compõem tal faixa etária. Os investimentos mediáticos são consideráveis e apresentam como característica a padronização de seu conteúdo, influenciando assim um modelo de comportamento, cuja imagem avassaladora interfere significativamente na vida cotidiana. O tema central desta obra é entender como as fronteiras que separavam o universo infantil do adulto, que foram claras e apresentavam variedades em diferentes épocas e sociedades, desapareceram quase por completo. Esse processo designamos como fenômenos da adultescênc...
Ser feliz hoje: reflexões sobre o imperativo da felicidade
'Vinicius de Morais nos ensinou que "Tristeza não tem fim, felicidade sim", resumindo, dessa forma, o pensamento moderno sobre a condição humana. A felicidade é passageira "como uma gota de orvalho numa pétala de flor", enquanto a tristeza é inevitável e duradoura. A abrangente coletânea Ser feliz hoje registra, no entanto, com riqueza de detalhes e insights, importantes mudanças nas expectativas em relação à conquista da felicidade. Tecnocratas e novos profetas do comércio e das ciências afirmam que o indivíduo tem o poder de decidir ser feliz, apesar de desvantagens sociais, traumas pessoais e outras limitações.' - Christopher Dunn.
Disney Channel Tween Programming
Much has been written about the Walt Disney Company's productions, but the focus has largely been on animation and feature film created by Disney. In this essay collection, the attention is turned to The Disney Channel and the programs it presents for a largely tween audience. Since its emergence as a market category in the 1980s, the tween demographic has commanded purchasing power and cultural influence, and the impressionability and social development of the age group makes it an important range of people to study. Presenting both a groundbreaking view of The Disney Channel's programming by the numbers and a deep focus on many of the best-known programs and characters of the 2000s--shows like The Wizards of Waverly Place, That's So Raven and Hannah Montana--this collection asks the simple questions, "What does The Disney Channel Universe look and sound like? Who are the stories about? Who matters on The Disney Channel?"
