The Global South and Comparative Constitutional Law
Although the Global South represents 'most of the world' in terms of constitutions and population, it is underrepresented in comparative constitutional discourse. This book fills the gap in this scholarship by tackling the most important aspects of comparative law from the Southern perspective.
Transnational Feminisms and Art’s Transhemispheric Histories
In this second book of her trailblazing trilogy, Marsha Meskimmon proposes that decolonial, ecocritical, feminist art’s histories can unravel the anthropocentric legacies of Eurocentric universalism, to create transformative conversations between and across many and more-than-human worlds. Engaging with the ecologies and genealogies – worlds and stories – that constitute the plural knowledge projects of transnational feminisms and art’s transhemispheric histories, the book is written through two critical figurations: transcanons and trans-scalar ecologies. Materializing art’s histories as radical practices of disciplinary disobedience, the volume demonstrates how planetary feminism...
Lethal Intersections
School shootings, police misconduct, and sexual assault where people are injured and die dominate the news. What are the connections between such incidents of violence and extreme harm? In this new book, world-renowned sociologist Patricia Hill Collins explores how violence differentially affects people according to their class, sexuality, nationality, and ethnicity. These invisible workings of overlapping power relations give rise to what she terms “lethal intersections,” where multiple forms of oppression converge to catalyze a set of violent practices that fall more heavily on particular groups. Drawing on a rich tapestry of cases, Collins challenges readers to reflect on what counts ...
Democracy after the Internet - Brazil between Facts, Norms, and Code
This book throws new light on the way in which the Internet impacts on democracy. Based on Jürgen Habermas’ discourse-theoretical reconstruction of democracy, it examines one of the world’s largest, most diverse but also most unequal democracies, Brazil, in terms of the broad social and legal effects the internet has had. Focusing on the Brazilian constitutional evolution, the book examines how the Internet might impact on the legitimacy of a democratic order and if, and how, it might yield opportunities for democratic empowerment. The book also assesses the ways in which law, as an institution and a system, reacts to the changes and challenges brought about by the Internet: the ways in which law may retain its strength as an integrative force, avoiding a ‘virtual’ legitimacy crisis.
Branquitude
Território do silêncio, da negação, de uma suposta neutralidade, do medo e do privilégio, a branquitude é, ao mesmo tempo, o lado menos explícito do racismo e o principal fator responsável por sua legitimação, manutenção e afirmação. Compreender e enfrentar os efeitos econômicos, culturais, sociais, jurídicos e da produção de subjetividades a partir de um olhar crítico sobre a branquitude é o intuito deste livro. As conversas aqui presentes são resultado do encontro de alguns dos principais pesquisadores, estudiosos e expoentes do pensamento sobre o tema, e foram promovidas pelo Instituto Ibirapitanga, em 2020, no seminário "Branquitude: racismo e antirracismo", em cocu...
Informais
Os Informais (Grupo de Pesquisa "Trabalho, Interseccionalidades e Direitos") são um grupo de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras da Universidade Federal da Bahia e da Universidade de Brasília, reunidos/as desde 2020 para pensar o direito do trabalho na "zona do não ser" (Fanon, 2012). Esse grupo se formou a partir de uma inquietação elementar: quais as conexões e possibilidades do estudo do direito do trabalho desde a perspectiva do trabalho informal? O momento que desemboca na produção coletiva que é agora apresentada se volta a uma análise aprofundada das estruturas de poder complexas e sobrepostas que concorrem para a construção de posições diversas no mundo do trabalho e na socie...
Comparing Transitions to Democracy. Law and Justice in South America and Europe
This present book examines some of the key features of the interplay between legal history, authoritarian rule and political transitions in Brazil and other countries from the end of 20th Century until today. This book casts light on these aspects of the role of law and legal actors/institutions. In the context of transition from authoritarian rule to democratic state, Brazil has produced a significant literature on the challenges and shortcomings of the transition, but little attention has been given to the role of law and legal actors/institutions. Different approaches focus on the legal mechanisms, discourses and practices used by the military regime and by the players involved in the pol...
