MULHERES DO BRASIL: Empoderamento, Resistência e (Im)Possibilidade – Vol. 4
Essa obra tem como princípio um novo olhar sobre os diversos temas relacionados às mulheres e propõe uma mudança de atitude em busca de mais espaço para a presença feminina. No Brasil, temos testemunhado e vivenciado o debate público em torno do lugar da mulher em diversas decisões e questões femininas. A luta constante pelos direitos das mulheres tem avançado lentamente no país. Algumas conquistas já foram alcançadas nas últimas décadas, como o direito ao voto e o direito de serem eleitas. No entanto, quando se trata da representatividade feminina, esse debate está ainda muito distante do desejado, devido à pouca presença de mulheres. Isso pode ser resultado da histórica exclusão das mulheres, o que ainda ecoa até hoje em nosso país. Em suma, a obra é um convidar para o leitor pensar reflexivamente, amplo e contextualizado, sobre a real necessidade de analisar os diversos temas e aspectos do empoderamento e resistência das mulheres brasileiras.

Subjectivity in Troubadour Poetry
The songs of the troubadour poets of the south of France were a pervasive influence in the development of the European lyric (and indeed other genres) from the twelfth century to the Renaissance and beyond. Much troubadour poetry is on the topic of love, and is composed from a first-person position. This book is a full-length study of this first-person subject position in its relation to language and society. Using theoretical approaches where appropriate, Sarah Kay discusses to what extent this first person is a 'self' or 'character', and how far it is self-determining. Dr Kay draws on a wide range of troubadour texts, and provides close readings of many of them, as well as translating all medieval quotations into English in order to make the discussion accessible to the non-specialist. Her book will be of interest both to scholars of medieval literature, and to anybody investigating subjectivity in lyric poetry.
Nietzsche and Metaphysics
Michel Haar assesses the overcoming of metaphysics urged by Nietzsche. Pointing out that Nietzsche's overcoming must be conceived as a task both critical and reconstructive, Haar shows how Nietzsche criticizes philosophical concepts as being traceable to a process of simplification and identification, thus subverting traditional categories and identities. Haar presents Nietzsche as an aesthetic stoic. Although opposed to any doctrinal tenet, Nietzsche rekindles a Stoic return to nature in the register of a creative and aesthetic decision. Necessity is no longer a single rational force permeating all beings. Instead he conceives of the will to power as a schematization of the natural chaos an...

The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic
In The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic, Mario Perniola puts forth the radical argument that we are shifting away from organic sexuality, based on desire and pleasure, and moving towards a more neutral inorganic and artificial sexuality, a sexuality always available but indifferent to beauty, age or form. Perniola takes the reader on a tour of Western philosophy, from Descartes, Kant and Hegel to Heidegger, Wittgenstein and Sartre, to reframe our understanding of personal experience and the aesthetic world around us. In order to realize the sex appeal of the inorganic Perniola argues that we must become 'things that feel', we must think ourselves closer to the inorganic, creating an alliance between senses and things. Examples from contemporary culture that, for Perniola, are emblems of the sex appeal of the inorganic, include progressive rock music, fashion, deconstructive architecture and the novels of Georges Perec.
The Origins of Left-Libertarianism
This book contains the historically most important discussions of the philosophical foundations of left-libertarianism. It addresses questions such as: What exactly is self-ownership? What are the principle objections to it, and how powerful are they? What are the most plausible views about ownership of natural resourcesw? Do they imply joint ownership and collective-decision making? Do they allow private appropriation? How is the social fund generated from such payments to be spent? Is it to be divided equally? Is it to be used to purchase public goods? Is it to be devoted to promoting equality of opportunity? Includes selections from Groitus, Pufendorf, Locke, Paine, Mill, George, Walras and others.
