A Semana Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia (SNCT), instituída em 2004, completou sua maioridade em 2021. Realizada sua 19ª edição em 2022, o evento segue contribuindo significativamente com a popularização da ciência. A edição de 2022 teve como tema o “Bicentenário da Independência: 200 anos de ciência, tecnologia e inovação no Brasil” e abrigou reflexões sobre as instituições científicas e o fazer científico, considerando suas historicidades e os significados que a Independência política do Brasil tem conferido a essa modalidade de conhecimento. Este livro é fruto de um dos subeventos que integraram a SNCT 2022 no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnolo...
A historiografia tradicional sobre a parte meridional da América lusa tinha como seu viés explicativo predominante a história militar e a história política tradicional, centrada nos homens ilustres e seus grandes feitos. Nesse contexto, pouca atenção era dada para a configuração da sociedade que surgiu com o avanço colonial dos séculos XVII e XVIII, fortemente marcado pelo escravismo e pela presença das populações indígenas.

Action, action, yet more action. No action film worthy of genre would be caught dead without its fair share of red-hot lead and no-holds-barred fisticuffs, high-octane pursuits and gravity-defying gymnastics. Then again, nonstop action soon wears thin absent a rooting interest in Last Man Standing First Woman to Cross Finish Line. Rooting interest inheres not in overt action, no matter how artfully choreographed or breathtakingly executed. Rather, rooting interest comes from empathy for the protagonist and, more precisely, from the dramatic action embodied by the protagonist's struggle to accomplish a worthy goal opposed by a formidable foe. Action is a double-edged blade, overt action being...
