Transforming Spatial Data into Public Policies for Social Justice and Environmental Sustainability
Environmental justice and social justice are well established concepts in social research. This book goes beyond the established discourse to show how Geographic Information Systems can unveil higher levels of spatial unfairness when both forms of injustice coincide in the same place. Territorial injustice is the result of the disproportionately higher exposure of vulnerable communities to pollution and environmental risks. Overlapping layers of georeferenced environmental and social information generate maps depicting territorial injustice which can be a powerful tool to facilitate social dialogue and prompt policy change. This volume brings approaches from ten Latin American countries to demonstrate how the interdisciplinarity between law and Geographic Information Systems can contribute to the development of fairer public policies, and prevent and mitigate cases of extreme injustice. The case studies presented are relevant to support the development of geolaw, and to inspire pragmatic strategies aimed both at social justice and environmental sustainability.
A poética de Arthur Bispo do Rosário
O livro nos fornece as senhas que possibilitarão algumas entradas no cifrado mundo de Arthur Bispo do Rosário, povoado de figurações e de uma estética labiríntica que reafirma a especificidade dialógica da própria vida. Este livro reacende a tensão entre singular e plural, no estranhamento, na colagem, no deslocamento de sentidos. O autor orquestra com maestria esta música para os olhos, articula a redescoberta do mundo de Arthur Bispo do Rosário e proporciona ao leitor um embarque para o infinito
Contact Strategies
Around the year 1800, independent Native groups still effectively controlled about half the territory of the Americas. How did they maintain their political autonomy and territorial sovereignty, hundreds of years after the arrival of Europeans? In a study that spans the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and ranges across the vast interior of South America, Heather F. Roller examines this history of power and persistence from the vantage point of autonomous Native peoples in Brazil. The central argument of the book is that Indigenous groups took the initiative in their contacts with Brazilian society. Rather than fleeing or evading contact, Native peoples actively sought to appropriate what w...
The Interior
A new history of Brazil told through the lens of the often-overlooked interior regions. In colonial Brazil, observers frequently complained that Portuguese settlers appeared content to remain “clinging to the coastline, like crabs.” From their perspective, the vast Brazilian interior seemed like an untapped expanse waiting to be explored and colonized. This divide between a thriving coastal area and a less-developed hinterland has become deeply ingrained in the nation’s collective imagination, perpetuating the notion of the interior as a homogeneous, stagnant periphery awaiting the dynamic influence of coastal Brazil. The Interior challenges these narratives and reexamines the history ...

Manual de Direito Registral Imobiliário
O presente Manual constitui uma reformulação das antigas Noções de Direito Registral que nasceram para uso dos estudantes. E essa continua a ser a sua principal finalidade, ainda que, ao debater os aspetos teórico e prático de quase toda a matéria, também possa ter préstimo para quem careça de lidar com os problemas do Direito Registral Imobiliário, como especialmente os magistrados, conservadores, notários, advogados, solicitadores e demais juristas. Um outro propósito foi o de tentar promover e divulgar o atualmente «novo» e obrigatório Registo Predial, cuja importância social é notória e crescente, exigindo dos profissionais uma proficiente adaptação às novas regras, para que possam prestar um fiável serviço público, tornado indispensável para a vida económica, para as transações prediais, para o crédito hipotecário e, em especial, para a segurança do comércio jurídico imobiliário.
