This book deals with the Press in Brazil in its historical, social and cultural context, with particular attention being paid to the strategies of printed written communication. The author reconstructs the constellation of texts into which the discursive tradition of the editorial is integrated.

The main theme of this year's congress is 'Animal lives worth living'. This theme focuses on our responsibility for all animals kept or influenced by humans, to ensure that we can provide a life for them that takes into account all relevant aspects of animal welfare, aided by applied ethology as the key scientific discipline. This not only means avoiding and alleviating suffering but also promoting resilience and positive experiences. By monitoring and interpreting animal behaviour, we gain important insights into each of these aspects of quality of life.
