Promises of Empowerment
How and to what degree are women worldwide gaining and using power? This book offers the first genuinely comparative assessment of this key question by exploring the conditions, actions, and accomplishments of women in Latin America and Asia. Encompassing 60 percent of the world's population and experiencing far-reaching transformations, these two regions offer a vital window into our understanding of the experiences of women globally. Revealing both basic similarities and fundamental differences, this volume offers thoughtful insights about the changing conditions of women, on the one hand, and, on the other, about patterns of social change throughout Asia and Latin America.

Appreciating the Art of Television
Contemporary television has been marked by such exceptional programming that it is now common to hear claims that TV has finally become an art. In Appreciating the Art of Television, Nannicelli contends that televisual art is not a recent development, but has in fact existed for a long time. Yet despite the flourishing of two relevant academic subfields—the philosophy of film and television aesthetics—there is little scholarship on television, in general, as an art form. This book aims to provide scholars active in television aesthetics with a critical overview of the relevant philosophical literature, while also giving philosophers of film a particular account of the art of television that will hopefully spur further interest and debate. It offers the first sustained theoretical examination of what is involved in appreciating television as an art and how this bears on the practical business of television scholars, critics, students, and fans—namely the comprehension, interpretation, and evaluation of specific televisual artworks.
Juventudes
A coletânea Juventudes: violência, biocultura, biorresistência encontra-se estruturada em duas partes: a primeira dialoga com as mediações e as narrativas juvenis em textos que debatem apropriações midiáticas e formas de resistência por meio de plataformas audiovisuais, redes sociais e formatos documentais para a denúncia de violências e segregações, bem como para a organização em grupos e coletivos juvenis, ampliando sua visibilidade e modos de inserção social. Na segunda parte, as mediações são compreendidas por meio de ativismos juvenis nas áreas educacionais, de saúde e em programas de proteção às populações vulneráveis; textos que fazem interlocução com políticas sociais – públicas ou privadas – e com ações e produções político-culturais mais autônomas.

Argentinian Telenovelas
This work explores the way in which telenovelas (TV serial dramas) give voice to contemporary and historical Argentinian social and political issues. Telenovelas have multiple layers of socio-cultural message -- local as well as global -- and are invariably laden with appealing drama and emotion, and sometimes comedy. The discussion focuses on how telenovelas reflect society's perception of, and adjustment toward, issues of globalisation. They are a means of portraying how individuals and families rationalize and incorporate rapid social and economic changes. The book explores how telenovelas might offer a subversive interpretation of reality; or provide a channel of dialogue with the govern...
