O livro, uma coletânea que trata de temas afetos ao novo Código de Processo Civil, enfrenta estudos fundamentais para que sua interpretação siga solidificando o direito processual brasileiro. Prefaciado pelo Ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Luiz Edson Fachin, também professor, encerrado pelo Magnífico Reitor da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, Professor Doutor Carlos Luciano Sant’Ana Vargas e assinado por juristas selecionados do rol de processualistas brasileiros, o prestígio de cada um e suas qualidades intrínsecas são a demonstração eloquente do respeito que o homenageado cultivou no mundo jurídico brasileiro. Trata-se, pois, sem dúvidas, de um livro superior prov...
A Emenda Constitucional n. 125/2022 inseriu no art. 105 da Constituição Federal os §§ 2º e 3º, prevendo como requisito para a admissão do Recurso Especial a relevância da questão federal. Uma das problemáticas que necessita ser resolvida a partir dessa mudança constitucional diz respeito a uma das hipóteses em que a relevância da questão federal é considerada explícita: quando o acórdão contrariar jurisprudência dominante do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) (art. 105, § 3º, V da CF/1988). É necessário compreender de que maneira o Superior Tribunal de Justiça e, comparativamente, o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) têm manejado o conceito de jurisprudência dominante,...
"I just did it, and I probably made more mistakes than the average person who makes a first film. I didn't really have any help, and I wouldn't take any help. I had to do it on my own. Once I made my first film I considered myself a film-maker. I lost all interest in the theater and never went back"--Monte Hellman In 1970, an LA Times headline described Monte Hellman as "Hollywood's best kept secret". More than thirty years later, Hellman and his work are still secrets, his genius recognized only by a small but passionate group of admirers. This book is both a biography of Hellman and a critical study of his films, which include The Shooting, Two-Lane Blacktop and Ride in the Whirlwind. It also covers films to which Hellman has contributed as an editor, actor and producer, as well as those on which he has worked, in various capacities, without onscreen credit, such as Shatter and Robocop. Attention is focused on the hallmarks of Hellman's work, including his dominant themes and obsessive characters, and all the films are subjected to close stylistic analysis.
“É indescritível a felicidade de apresentar o 2º volume de Precedentes do Projeto Mulheres no Processo Civil. Merece registro o dado de que as mulheres são mais de 45% da força de trabalho no Brasil, contudo ocupam apenas um pouco mais de 7,9% dos cargos de diretoria e 7,7% dos postos de conselhos de administração, segundo dados do Núcleo de Direito e Gênero da Escola de Direito da Fundação Getúlio Vargas em São Paulo. Como disse certa vez a empreendedora e mulher forte, Lúcia Helena Trajano, “parte da resposta está dentro das próprias mulheres. O preconceito pode existir, mas não podemos incorporá-lo.” Essa é a proposta do Projeto Mulheres... Ele segue, sem incorpor...
Nos dias 18, 19 e 20 de setembro de 2024, a charmosa e acolhedora cidade de Curitiba transformou-se, sem exagero, na capital mundial dos Precedentes, quando nela se reuniram duas centenas de processualistas, brasileiros e estrangeiros, para, refletindo sobre aquela temática, celebrar dois de seus maiores pensadores brasileiros, o Professor Luiz Guilherme Marinoni e a Professora Teresa Arruda Alvim. Foi a forma pela qual o Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual – IBDP, fundado em 1958, decidiu homenagear aqueles eminentes Professores, ao ensejo de suas XV Jornadas Brasileiras de Direito Processual.
In the 1640s, eight Jesuit missionaries met their deaths at the hands of native antagonists. With their collective canonization in 1930, these men became North America's first saints. Emma Anderson untangles the complexities of these seminal acts of violence and their ever-changing legacy across the centuries. While exploring how Jesuit missionaries perceived their terrifying final hours, she also seeks to comprehend the motivations of those who confronted them from the other side of the axe, musket, or caldron of boiling water, and to illuminate the experiences of those native Catholics who, though they died alongside their missionary mentors, have yet to receive comparable recognition as m...
The greatest wisdom comes from the smallest creatures There is so much we can learn from birds. Through twenty-two little lessons of wisdom inspired by how birds live, this charming french book will help you spread your wings and soar. We often need the help from those smaller than us. Having spent a lifetime watching birds, Philippe and Élise – a French ornithologist and a philosopher – draw out the secret lessons that birds can teach us about how to live, and the wisdom of the natural world. Along the way you’ll discover why the robin is braver than the eagle, what the arctic tern can teach us about the joy of travel, and whether the head or the heart is the best route to love (as shown by the mallard and the penguin). By the end you will feel more in touch with the rhythms of nature and have a fresh perspective on how to live the fullest life you can.
There was no Reichstag fire. No storming of the Bastille. No mutiny on the Aurora. Instead, the mediocre have seized power without firing a single shot. They rose to power on the tide of an economy where workers produce assembly-line meals without knowing how to cook at home, give customers instructions over the phone that they themselves don’t understand, or sell books and newspapers that they never read. Canadian intellectual juggernaut Alain Deneault has taken on all kinds of evildoers: mining companies, tax-dodgers, and corporate criminals. Now he takes on the most menacing threat of all: the mediocre.
Combat Death in Contemporary American Culture: Popular Cultural Conceptions of War since World War II explores how war has been portrayed in the United States since World War II, with a particular focus on an emotionally charged but rarely scrutinized topic: combat death. Agnieszka Soltysik Monnet argues that most stories about war use three main building blocks: melodrama, adventure, and horror. Monnet examines how melodrama and adventure have helped make war seem acceptable to the American public by portraying combat death as a meaningful sacrifice and by making military killing look necessary and often even pleasurable. Horror no longer serves its traditional purpose of making the bloody realities of war repulsive, but has instead been repurposed in recent years to intensify the positivity of melodrama and adventure. Thus this book offers a fascinating diagnosis of how war stories perform ideological and emotional work and why they have such a powerful grip on the American imagination.
