Direito do Agronegócio, Sustentabilidade e Comércio Exterior
“O agronegócio tem se consolidado como o setor mais dinâmico e próspero da economia brasileira, aumentando, ano após ano, o percentual da sua participação no produto interno bruto (PIB) do país; nos empregos, diretos e indiretos, gerados pelas diversas cadeias produtivas que o compõem; e no valor total das vendas externas do Brasil. Trata-se, também, de um setor que reflete as complexidades brasileiras: inovação, eficiência e alta competitividade (ainda) convivem com falta de infraestrutura, burocracia, problemas fundiários e fome para determinada parcela da população, sem falar nos desafios e enormes oportunidades ambientais ainda não corretamente compreendidas, comunicada...

Design in the Borderlands
This book makes a significant contribution to advancing post-geographic understandings of physical and virtual boundaries. It brings together the emergent theory of ‘border thinking’ with innovative thinking on design, and explores the recent discourse on decoloniality and globalism. From a variety of viewpoints, the topics engaged show how design was historically embedded in the structures of colonial imposition, and how it is implicated in more contemporary settings in the extension of ‘epistemological colonialism’. The essays draw on perspectives from diverse geo-cultural and theoretical positions including architecture, design theory and history, sociology, critical theory and cu...
Peirce and Biosemiotics
This volume discusses the importance of Peirce ́s philosophy and theory of signs to the development of Biosemiotics, the science that studies the deep interrelation between meaning and life. Peirce considered semeiotic as a general logic part of a complex architectonic philosophy that includes mathematics, phenomenology and a theory of reality. The authors are Peirce scholars, biologists, philosophers and semioticians united by an interdisciplinary endeavor to understand the mysteries of the origin of life and its related phenomena such as consciousness, perception, representation and communication.
Moderno
Moderno examines how design transformed the Latin American domestic landscape in a period marked by major stylistic developments and dramatic social and political change. Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela entered an expansive period of economic growth in the late 1940s which was accompanied by the purposeful modernization of major cities and the conscious importation of the International Style. This volume explores how the period's influx of European and North American architects, designers, artists and entrepreneurs in Latin America influenced a generation of local architects and designers beginning to see themselves as active players in the creation of modern national identities.
Sensing and Making Sense
Through a genealogy of photosensitive elements in media devices and artworks, this book investigates three dichotomies that impoverish debates and proposals in media art: material/immaterial, organic/machinic, and theory/practice. It combines historical and analytical approaches, through new materialism, media archaeology, cultural techniques and second-order cybernetics. Known media stories are reframed from an alternative perspective, elucidating photosensitivity as a metonymy to provide guidelines to art students, artists, curators and theoreticians - especially those who are committed to critical views of scientific and technological knowledge in aesthetic experimentations.

Lina Bo Bardi 100
On the occasion of Italio-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi's one hundredth birthday, this richly illustrated volume presents an overview of her oeuvre and highlights iconic buildings, such as her own home, the so-called Casa de Vidro, the Museo de Arte de Sao Paulo, and the cultural center SESC Pompeia. This is a spectacular book on a celebrated architect. Spanning architecture, stage sets, fashion, and furniture, her work drew inspiration from the International Style, which she translated into her own visual language. Fundamental to her work was her thoughtful engagement with her adopted country of Brazil, its culture, society, and politics, and she productively and provocatively voiced her sometimes radical views through designs, exhibitions, and writings.
Hélio Oiticica
"This catalogue accompanies the first full US retrospective of the Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) in over two decades, organized by the Carnegie Museum of Art. It explores Oiticica's most acclaimed works, such as the "Parangolés" and the installation "Tropicália," as well as his involvement with music, literature, and response to Brazilian politics and the social environment. Essays by US and Latin American writers cover the entirety of his career, from his immersion in the 1960s counterculture to his life and work in New York City and final return to Rio de Janeiro, with special emphasis on his New York period between 1971 and 1978"--
