Livro sobre Paradiplomacia e Cidades Inteligentes (Smartcities) do internacionalista e paradiplomata Wesley Sá Teles Guerra
Quando falamos em vanguarda nos referimos a algo que está à frente do seu tempo, que consegue enxergar e vivenciar tendências, movimentos e formas de ser completamente novas e, muitas vezes, revolucionárias, porque quebram padrões, modificam velhas situações e incomodam os olhares conservadores. Uma educação de vanguarda é uma educação que pensa em como ensinar e aprender, fazendo de cada sujeito um ser realizado e não apenas formado. A educação deve ser como subir numa árvore, buscando-se ver além e não somente se conformar e seguir com a visão baixa do todo. Neste livro reunimos alguns pensadores para discutir experiências de vanguarda em países lusófonos.
Esta obra, através de seus incríveis capítulos, traz à tona, a partir do campo que permite a compressão do discurso, da interação, da existência e da resistência, sobretudo; evidencia em seus capítulos várias abordagens que podem ser entendidas como necessárias ao campo dos estudos de gênero e sexualidade, compreendendo principalmente que essas abordagens não se esgotam aqui, mas podem ser continuadas para além dos questionamentos, podem ser posturas de vivência e relações de poder no mundo. Os capítulos, de modo geral, apontam às necessidades de olhares atentos às questões tão necessárias quanto importantes de serem evidenciadas, trazendo diversas perspectivas que dialogam com várias áreas do conhecimento como molas propulsoras da resistência: as narrativas de sujeitas/os/es que estão inseridas em grupos considerados marginalizados. Desse modo, entendemos que as/os/es autoras/es/is possibilitam discussões que pertinentes à contemporaneidade, de sorte que se encontram em constante interação com o meio social e político os quais estão em torno das constituições identitárias e dos movimentos sociais.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Can constitutional amendments be unconstitutional? Using theoretical and comparative approaches, Roznai establishes the nature and scope of constitutional amendment powers by focusing on substantive limitations, looking at their prevalence in practice and the conceptual coherence of the very idea of limitations to constitutional amendment powers.
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

In seven interconnected short stories, the Guatemalan countryside is ever-present: a place of timeless peace, and the site of sudden violence. Don Henrik, a good man struck time and again by misfortune, confronts the crude realities of farming life, family obligation, and the intrusions of merciless entrepreneurs, hitmen, drug dealers, and fallen angels, all wanting their piece of the pie. Told with precision and a stark beauty, Trout, Belly Up is a beguiling, disturbing ensemble of moments set in the heart of a rural landscape in a country where brutality is never far from the surface.
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
