Cuidado e a pandemia da Covid-19: aproximações interdisciplinares e interseccionais é um convite à reflexão sobre as mudanças e transformações ocorridas no contexto da pandemia da covid-19, especialmente no cenário latino-americano, marcado historicamente pela colonialidade do poder/saber e do gênero. A abordagem é interdisciplinar e interseccional, apresentada por meio de análises e reflexões críticas que trazem para os leitores a necessidade de se pensar as relações sociais a partir das estruturas configuradas pelo capitalismo patriarcal heteronormativo de supremacia branca e masculino. A discussão sobre os domínios de poder/saber eurocêntrico, que a pandemia intensifico...

Recent changes in the economic and political world scenario have been dominated by an increasing globalising process and a constant capital mobilisation. This process has left a significant mark on nation-based economies and cultural systems, giving a prominent role to the economic agencies and sectors involved in information and communication industries. The influence and side-effects of this new scenario for public policies in southern countries are just uncertain. The present volume provides the analytical and conceptual framework from which to explore the issue of political economy of communication. The chapters introduce the reader to the knowledge of the features, inner contradictions and the dialectics of regional alternative communication versus information control. By doing this, different questions are addressed: from the ideological perspectives implied in the ethnocentric reproduction of prevalent cultural paradigms (and the persistence of cultural inequalities), to central issues concerning the "digital revolution" and its impact on the political economy of communication and culture worldwide, with a special emphasis on Latin America.
Este ebook presenta "El Manifiesto Comunista" con un sumario dinámico y detallado. El Manifiesto del Partido Comunista (Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei, por su título en alemán), muchas veces llamado simplemente el Manifiesto Comunista, es uno de los tratados políticos más influyentes de la historia, fue una proclama encargada por la Liga de los Comunistas a Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels entre 1847 y 1848, y publicada por primera vez en Londres el 21 de febrero de 1848. Las ideas que el Manifiesto expresa son las siguientes: - La historia política e intelectual de una sociedad está determinada por el modo de producción y la formación socio-económica que se deriva de él; - Una vez aparecidas las clases sociales sobre la base de la propiedad privada y la explotación, la historia de las sociedades ha sido la historia de la lucha de las clases explotadoras y las explotadas; - En la actual sociedad moderna el proletariado es la única clase social cuya emancipación significará la emancipación de toda la humanidad mediante la revolución comunista: la abolición de la propiedad burguesa, las clases sociales y el Estado.
Louis Dumont, who died in 1998, was one of the most important figures in post-war French anthropology. He is well-known for his early work on India, which culminated in Homo Hierarchicus (1966; in English 1972, 1980), an anthropological account of the caste system. He later extended this work into a comparison of the values of Indian and western society in works like Essays on Individualism (1986) and German ideology: From France to Germany and Back (1994). He is also known for pioneering work on kinship in south India and more generally (for example Affinity as a Value, 1983). The current volume represents the fruits of this side of his activities and originated in as a series of lectures providing an account of the British and French schools for students.
The Araweté are one of the few Amazonian peoples who have maintained their cultural integrity in the face of the destructive forces of European imperialism. In this landmark study, anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro explains this phenomenon in terms of Araweté social cosmology and ritual order. His analysis of the social and religious life of the Araweté—a Tupi-Guarani people of Eastern Amazonia—focuses on their concepts of personhood, death, and divinity. Building upon ethnographic description and interpretation, Viveiros de Castro addresses the central aspect of the Arawete's concept of divinity—consumption—showing how its cannibalistic expression differs radically from t...

The Amerindian peoples of Guiana, the geographical region of north-east South America, have long been recognized as forming a distinct variety of the tropical forest culture. In this book, Peter Rivière employs a comparative perspective to reveal that Guianan societies, generally characterized as socially fluid and amorphous, are in fact much more highly structured than they first appear, and he identifies certain common patterns of social organization that result from sets of individual choices and relationships. By contrasting the characteristics of Guianan society with those from elsewhere in Lowland South America, he constructs a spectrum of complexity of Amerindian social structure, and argues that the Guianan variant represents the logically simplest form of organization in the area.
The new edition of this classroom classic retains the organizing theme of the original text, presenting the development of thought within the context of economic history.
