How and why human males evolved the capacity to be highly involved caregivers—and why some are more involved than others. We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships. But what about fathers? In most mammals, including our closest living primate relatives, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring—and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers. How, then, can we explain modern fathers having the capacity to be highly engaged parents? In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved...

  • Publisher: IAP

This volume is the firstborn of the Annals of Cultural Psychology-- a yearly edited book series in the field of Cultural Psychology. It came into being as there is a need for reflection on “where and what” the discipline needs to further develop, in such a way, the current frontiers and to foster the elaboration of new fruitful ideas. The topic chosen for the first volume is perhaps the most fundamental of all- motherhood. We are all here because at some unspecifiable time in the past, different women labored hard to bring each of us into this World. These women were not thinking of culture, but were just giving birth. Yet by their reproductive success—and years of worry about our grow...

This book comes as part of a broader project the first editor is developing in collaboration with the other two, aiming critically to articulate the central philosophical issue of time and temporality with Cultural Psychology and related areas in its frontier. Similarly to the previous milestone in this effort—Otherness in Question: Labyrinths of the Self, published in this same series, the present one we also invited international cast of authors to bring their perspectives about a possible dialogue between a central philosophical issue and the core subject of their respective research domains. The book interests to researchers, scholars, professionals and students in Psychology and its areas of frontier.

Routledge Handbook of Gender, Culture, and Development in India

Lekha, Kumar M., and their team of contributors embark on a transformative exploration of 'Intersectionality' in the Indian context, where gender, culture, and development intersect to shape the destinies of diverse groups. Drawing from extensive research and nuanced analyses by scholars across the country and a few scholars on India from outside the country, the handbook uncovers the intricate connections between gender inequalities, cultural norms and practices, and developmental trajectories that illuminate how these factors intersect and shape the lives of individuals, communities, and societies beyond India's borders. The book encompasses discussions on the category of gender and the pr...

Direitos LGBTI+ no Brasil

  • Categories: Law

Esta coletânea reúne ensaios de pesquisadores e ativistas dos direitos humanos de pessoas LGBTI+ (lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, transgêneros, intersexuais e outras identidades não heterossexuais) a partir de um olhar interdisciplinar do direito e das ciências sociais. Apesar de o Brasil figurar entre as nações que asseguram direitos reivindicados por essas populações, é ainda o país que mais mata LGBTI+ no mundo. Diante desse cenário contraditório, a obra propõe ao leitor um balanço crítico do processo de reconhecimento trilhado até aqui e uma discussão realista em torno dos desafios postos àqueles que se preocupam, teórica e praticamente, com a garantia de existência digna e cidadã dos LGBTI+.
