Book excerpt: Uma história que relaciona matemática com meio ambiente, por meio dos macacos - sem ser científica e sem termos abstratos. As crianças vão ter noções de matemática, pois terão de contar os macacos. Além disso, refletirão um pouco sobre ecologia. Compreenderão como o ser humano pode desequilibrar o meio ambiente e causar uma grande confusão, mexendo no espaço dos macacos. Se cada macaco tem o seu galho, imaginem o que acontece quando os galhos de uma árvore, de árvores inteiras, são cortados! A coleção Macaco Disse é composta de quatro títulos, cujas histórias com personagens macacos têm a intenção de brincar com a linguagem científica e com a linguagem literária, estabelecendo uma ponte entre a criatividade do escritor e a do cientista. Parece complicado, mas Anna Flora faz isso de modo muito divertido, com linguagem simples e de fácil entendimento para crianças.

Download or read book Brazil s Sex Wars written by Joseph Jay Sosa and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents an ethnography of LGBT activism in São Paulo, Brazil's largest city, during a decade (2008-2018) when Brazilian politics experienced a strong right-wing turn and increased partisanship. LGBT movements responded to increased right-wing opposition to sexual and gender autonomy in a variety of ways and Sosa analyzes this transforming political culture by examining debates over LGBT rights that extended across Brazilian political and public life--street protests, court cases, legislative campaigns, news coverage of violent crime, and television melodrama. That these debates play out in public allows the author to apply the lens of aesthetics, "examining what attracts us or repels us from political rights." The book begins with a discussion of how sexuality has moved from the private sphere to the political one as it came to be seen (by some) as a fundamental human right. The rest of the book unfolds chronologically. Chapter one traces the history of LGBT activism in Brazil, especially the push for anti-discrimination laws, and the debates about how to define homophobia. Chapter two introduces São Paulo's LGBT movement, and how over the decade preceding the period of study here, activists rethought what rights-based politics looked like via the kinds of actions they were able to perform. On a theoretical level, this chapter is exploring "activist subjectivity through the aesthetic category of judgment--or how individuals enter shared alignment through statements of perception." Chapter three revolves around the city's Pride parade, the largest in the world, and how that hyper visibility works in relation to everyday, less-spectacular forms of visibility. Brazil has a robust tradition of street protests, and chapter four looks at the intertwined aesthetics of queer politics and public protest via an ethnography with university students. The last chapter builds on these discussions as São Paulo, a center of LGBT activism and public visibility, also emerges as the center of a white, middle class rejection of the left-leaning governments that support sexual autonomy. The author suggests that the "debates" central to sexual politics actually engender, rather than reflect, two "pre-established sides to a public issue." A conclusion suggests that rights-based political paradigms are increasingly problematic for both the left and the right, as seen in the sex wars described in this book"--

Download or read book The Consequences of Brazilian Social Movements in Historical Perspective written by Valesca Lima and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on the outcomes of social movements in Brazil. It provides an extensive analysis of how and when collective mobilization and protest activities brought about social and political change. Charting the dynamics and characteristics of Brazil’s social movements from the abolition of slavery in 1888 to the present day, the contributors to this edited volume demonstrate the processes of social movement activism in Brazil, and its relations with political institutions across various types of governments and political regimes. They bring to light both political opportunity structures of different historical periods, and the political and cultural consequences of mobilization stemming from the collective action of social movements. Showcasing various approaches, the book encompasses a plurality of methodological perspectives including network analysis, collective memory, trajectories, and quantitative techniques of process analysis. Ultimately, the authors present new empirical evidence about social movement outcomes in Brazil, including the mobilization for housing rights, institutionalization processes in a re-democratized society, the effects of anti-dictatorship movements on activists, transformations of political agendas and the diffusion of social protests. Interdisciplinary at its core and highly engaging, The Consequences of Brazilian Social Movements in Historical Perspective offers essential reading on social movement studies to academics, activists and students.

Download or read book Butinage written by Yonatan N. Gez and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on comparative ethnographic research in four countries and three continents, Butinage: The Art of Religious Mobility explores the notion of "religious butinage" as a conceptual framework intended to shed light on the dynamics of everyday religious practice. Derived from the French word butiner, which refers to the foraging activity of bees and other pollinating insects, this term is employed by the authors metaphorically to refer to the "to-ing and fro-ing" of believers between religious institutions. Focused on urban, predominantly Christian settings in Brazil, Kenya, Ghana, and Switzerland, Butinage examines commonalities and differences across the four case studies and identifies religious mobility as existing at the meeting points of religious-institutional rules and narratives, social norms, and individual agency and practice. Drawing on anglophone, francophone, and lusophone academic traditions, Butinage is dedicated to a dialogue between ethnographic findings and theoretical ideas, and explores how we may rethink common conceptions of religious normativity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wellness, motherhood, and technology converge in a near future California, as three women’s seemingly innocuous decisions have further-reaching consequences than any of them could imagine in this timely, clever, and white-knuckled thriller. In 2060, the WellPod is the latest launch from the largest tech company the world has ever seen—a fleet of floating personal paradises scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean, focused entirely on health, solitude, and relaxation. Created by an enigmatic founder who will stop at nothing to ensure her company’s success, it is the long-awaited pinnacle of wellness technology. For newly pregnant Maggie, the six-week program is the perfect chance to get away…especially since the baby isn’t her partner’s. Noa Behar isn’t a perfect fiancée. She’s too distracted, too focused on her work in helping program the WellPod to give Maggie the attention she deserves. But when she discovers something rotten beneath WellPod’s shiny exterior—a history of faulty tech and dangerous cover-ups—she knows one thing: she’ll do whatever it takes to keep Maggie safe. The problem? The malfunctioning WellPods are already at sea. And there’s a storm coming...

Download or read book The Politics of Sexuality in Latin America written by Javier Corrales and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-05-24 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Buenos Aires has guaranteed all couples, regardless of gender, the right to register civil unions. Mexico City has approved the Cohabitation Law, which grants same-sex couples marital rights identical to those of common-law relationships between men and women. Yet, a gay man was murdered every two days in Latin America in 2005, and Brazil recently led the world in homophobic murders. These facts illustrate the wide disparity in the treatment and rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations across the region. The Politics of Sexuality in Latin America presents the first English-language reader on LGBT politics in Latin America. Representing a range of contemporary works by scholars, activists, analysts, and politicians, the chapters address LGBT issues in nations from Cuba to Argentina. In their many findings, two main themes emerge: the struggle for LGBT rights has made significant inroads in the first decade of the twenty-first century (though not in every domain or every region); and the advances made were slow in coming compared to other social movements. The articles uncover the many obstacles that LGBT activists face in establishing new laws and breaking down societal barriers. They identify perhaps the greatest roadblock in Latin American culture as an omnipresent system of "heteronormativity," wherein heterosexuality, patriarchalism, gender hierarchies, and economic structures are deeply rooted in nearly every level of society. Along these lines, the texts explore specific impediments, including family dependence, lack of public spaces, job opportunities, religious dictums, personal security, the complicated relationship between leftist political parties and LGBT movements in the region, and the ever-present "closets," which keep LGBT issues out of the public eye. The volume also looks to the future of LGBT activism in Latin America in areas such as globalization, changing demographics, the role of NGOs, and the rise of economic levels and education across societies, which may aid in a greater awareness of LGBT politics and issues. As the editors posit, to be democratic in the truest sense of the word, nations must recognize and address all segments of their populations.

Download or read book The Making of Brazil s Black Mecca written by Scott Ickes and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the few interdisciplinary volumes on Bahia available, The Making of Brazil’s Black Mecca: Bahia Reconsidered contains contributions covering a wide chronological and topical range by scholars whose work has made important contributions to the field of Bahian studies over the last two decades. The authors interrogate and problematize the idea of Bahia as a Black Mecca, or a haven where Brazilians of African descent can embrace their cultural and spiritual African heritage without fear of discrimination. In the first section, leading historians create a century-long historical narrative of the emergence of these discourses, their limitations, and their inability to effect meaningful structural change. The chapters by social scientists in the second section present critical reflections and insights, some provocative, on deficiencies and problematic biases built into current research paradigms on blackness in Bahia. As a whole the text provides a series of insights into the ways that inequality has been structured in Bahia since the final days of slavery.
