Cartografia

A ideia que dá organicidade ao livro é pensar e registrar os processos das experimentações metodológicas, movimentos com as quais vamos criando e exercitando as próprias pesquisas e nas pesquisas que temos orientado. O que estamos deslocando, insubordinando, insurgindo quando nos dispomos a romper modos instituídos de pesquisar, escrever, criar com a diferença [?].

Linguagens em múltiplas faces

Entendendo os estudos da linguagem como um campo inter(trans)disciplinar, temos uma agenda bastante ampla acerca de estudos teóricos e aplicados no campo das Linguísticas. Da Linguística Teórica à Linguística Aplicada, o objeto de estudo é sempre a língua(gem) em que se transgride fronteiras disciplinares convencionais, objetivando desenvolver novas agendas de pesquisa encabeçadas por uma ampla variedade de disciplinas que nada tem de subalternas, mas de poderosos caminhos para ação. Estas estão em célebres discussões subsidiando uma a outra para estabelecer diálogos profícuos nos diversos campos de investigação, trazendo consigo o caminho intercambiável em diferentes áreas do conhecimento, de soluções para problemas linguísticos socialmente relevantes e de construções conceituais conjuntas. Esta obra agrega saberes com o produto do olhar subjetivo de cada pesquisador e contribui para a ampliação da pesquisa científica e acadêmica sobre o fenômeno da língua(gem), compilando importantes pesquisas e olhares sobre o fenômeno que nos constitui como atores sociais: a língua(gem).

Making Home(s) in Displacement

Making Home(s) in Displacement critically rethinks the relationship between home and displacement from a spatial, material, and architectural perspective. Recent scholarship in the social sciences has investigated how migrants and refugees create and reproduce home under new conditions, thereby unpacking the seemingly contradictory positions of making a home and overcoming its loss. Yet, making home(s) in displacement is also a spatial practice, one which intrinsically relates to the fabrication of the built environment worldwide. Conceptually the book is divided along four spatial sites, referred to as camp, shelter, city, and house, which are approached with a multitude of perspectives ran...

  • Publisher: MIT Press

A proposal that algorithms are not simply instructions to be performed but thinking entities that construct digital spatio-temporalities. In Contagious Architecture, Luciana Parisi offers a philosophical inquiry into the status of the algorithm in architectural and interaction design. Her thesis is that algorithmic computation is not simply an abstract mathematical tool but constitutes a mode of thought in its own right, in that its operation extends into forms of abstraction that lie beyond direct human cognition and control. These include modes of infinity, contingency, and indeterminacy, as well as incomputable quantities underlying the iterative process of algorithmic processing. The mai...

Gilles Deleuze

This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century's most important and elusive thinkers. Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze's philosophy: how might we live? The author then goes on to explain how Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this approach the full range of Deleuze's philosophy is covered. Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May's introduction will be widely read amongst those in philosophy, political science, cultural studies and French studies.

  • Publisher: Springer

This book provides an overview and discussion of Cultural Psychology of Semiotic Dynamics (CPSD) as a general developmental science. It discusses the challenging interplay between the sophisticated abstract concept of a holistic-dynamic understanding of the psyche and the concrete human experience. Chapters begin by framing the specific topics discussed in the book and elaborating on the border “zone” in between individual and collective-societal meanings. Subsequent chapters and a final conclusion discuss CPSC as an abstractive conceptual enterprise. The book is divided into sections, each beginning with a chapter written by Jaan Valsiner. The individual sections focus on (I) the nature...

Capitalism and Christianity, American Style

Capitalism and Christianity, American Style is William E. Connolly’s stirring call for the democratic left to counter the conservative stranglehold over American religious and economic culture in order to put egalitarianism and ecological integrity on the political agenda. An eminent political theorist known for his work on identity, secularism, and pluralism, Connolly charts the path of the “evangelical-capitalist resonance machine,” source of a bellicose ethos reverberating through contemporary institutional life. He argues that the vengeful vision of the Second Coming motivating a segment of the evangelical right resonates with the ethos of greed animating the cowboy sector of Ameri...
