Temporality
This book comes as part of a broader project the first editor is developing in collaboration with the other two, aiming critically to articulate the central philosophical issue of time and temporality with Cultural Psychology and related areas in its frontier. Similarly to the previous milestone in this effort—Otherness in Question: Labyrinths of the Self, published in this same series, the present one we also invited international cast of authors to bring their perspectives about a possible dialogue between a central philosophical issue and the core subject of their respective research domains. The book interests to researchers, scholars, professionals and students in Psychology and its areas of frontier.
Succession Law, Practice and Society in Europe across the Centuries
This book presents a broad overview of succession law, encompassing aspects of family law, testamentary law and legal history. It examines society and legal practice in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present from both a legal and a sociological perspective. The contributing authors investigate various aspects of succession law that have not yet been thoroughly examined by legal historians, and in doing so they not only add to our knowledge of past succession law but also provide a valuable key to interpreting and understanding current European succession law. Readers can explore such issues as the importance of a father’s permission to marry in relation to disinheritance, as well as inheritance transactions and private, dynastic and cross-border successions. Further themes addressed by the expert contributors include women’s inheritance rights, the laws of succession for the prince in legal consulting, and succession in the Rota Romana’s jurisprudence.
Arab Brazil
Arab-Brazilian relations have been largely invisible to area studies and Comparative Literature scholarship. Arab Brazil is the first book of its kind to highlight the representation of Arab and Muslim immigrants in Brazilian literature and popular culture since the early twentieth century, revealing anxieties and contradictions in the country's ideologies of national identity. Author Waïl S. Hassan analyzes these representations in a century of Brazilian novels, short stories, and telenovelas. He shows how the Arab East works paradoxically as a site of otherness (different language, culture, and religion) and solidarity (cultural, historical, demographic, and geopolitical ties). Hassan explores the differences between colonial Orientalism's binary structure of Self/Other, East/West, and colonizer/colonized, on the one hand; and on the other hand Brazilian Orientalism's tertiary structure, which defines the country's identity in relation to both North and East.

Reimagining Brazilian Television
The Brazilian television industry is one of the most productive and commercially successful in the world. At the forefront of this industry is TV Globo and its production of standardized telenovelas, which millions of Brazilians and viewers from over 130 countries watch nightly. Eli Lee Carter examines the field of television production by focusing on the work of one of Brazil's greatest living directors, Luiz Fernando Carvalho. Through an emphasis on Carvalho's thirty-plus year career working for TV Globo, his unique mode of production, and his development of a singular aesthetic as a reaction to the dominant telenovela genre, Carter sheds new light on Brazilian television's history, its current state, and where it is going—as new legislation and technology push it increasingly toward a post-network era.
Desamparo
As histórias mais absurdas de Desamparo são verdadeiras. O resto é ficção. Antes de passar pelos labirintos da imaginação do autor, porém, a biografia do interior paulista foi pesquisada através de trabalho jornalístico que buscou as origens do povoamento do noroeste paulista. Entre figuras históricos como o matador dândi Dioguinho e a ama de leite de Dom Pedro II, Maria Capa Negra, um sábio ancião que envelheceu até virar árvore, um padre milagreiro que serve de poleiro aos pássaros e uma nativa insaciável que sonha em devorar o sol, nos deparamos com uma pequena biografia do nosso povo, uma fábula sobre o caminho que nos trouxe ao violento país que somos hoje, personage...
Geração de conhecimento nas ciências médicas: impactos científicos e sociais
Ao falarmos da geração de conhecimento nas ciências médicas, logo vem à nossa cabeça, o desenvolvimento de complexos aparelhos de diagnóstico, o advento da inteligência artificial e/ou o uso de robôs em vídeo cirurgias. Porém, cabe destacar que as entrelinhas nesta geração de conhecimentos devem ser explicitadas, e não existe melhor maneira de explicitá-las do que pela mensuração dos impactos científicos e sociais ocasionados por tal desenvolvimento.
