Esta coletânea nacional traz um complexo debate sobre descolonialidade, decolonialidade e pós-colonialidade, a partir da perspectiva da interseccionalidade nas análises sobre racismos, violências de gênero, misoginia, sexismos, preconceitos de classe e faixa etária, de estigmas ligados à escolaridade e aos locais de moradia, de rotulações depreciativas pela militância em movimentos sociais e por participações em sindicatos, por locais de nascimento e regionalismos, por sectarismos e fundamentalismos culturais, entre outros aspectos e processos valorativos. Os trabalhos são fruto de pesquisas e experiências profissionais de longa data bem como de saberes materialistas de cunho transdisciplinar. O conceito de governamentalidade se torna um dispositivo operativo importante nas problematizações das práticas de gestão da vida, dos grupos sociais e nos processos de resistência presentes nas práticas sociais, políticas, culturais, históricas, subjetivas e ecológicas. Leitores(as) poderão encontrar nestes textos, prismas e abordagens ligadas à produção da diferença e aos estudos culturais, decoloniais, histórico-sociais e da produção da subjetividade.

Gustave Le Gray's life was as romantic as any novel. A young painter in Rome, then a fashionable portrait photographer in Paris, Le Gray received commissions from Napoleon III, and astonished viewers with his painterly landscapes and ravishing seascapes. Facing bankruptcy, he fled Paris with Alexandre Dumas to Palermo, traveled to the Middle East, and finally settled in Egypt, where he became drawing master to the ruler's children and continued to make photographs until his death in 1884. Le Gray's work had remained largely unknown by the general public until he was rediscovered in the 1960s and was deemed by connoisseurs to be the Monet of photography. The fruit of years of research, this c...
Marey's strange story emerges in this fascinating account of a voyage of scientific and aesthetic study that would have reverberations in many aspects of modern culture.
