This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra aborda o cotidiano de duas escolas da rede pública de ensino, relatando como elas vêm conduzindo as práticas de Educação Ambiental e as (in)coerências dessas práticas em relação às recomendações relacionadas à conservação do ambiente e ao desenvolvimento de uma sociedade sustentável. Da vivência de um dos autores como professor e gestor de escolas públicas da rede estadual, que sempre observou comportamentos equivocados de gestores, professores, alunos e servidores no trato com o ambiente, essas atitudes levantaram alguns questionamentos: por que os professores cometem os mesmos erros dos alunos? Será que é influência cultural? Ou será que também não tiveram orientações nesse sentido? Por que parte dos professores joga lixo no chão? Não economiza e nem incentiva seus alunos a economizarem água e energia elétrica? Por que parte dos professores planeja aulas com a temática ambiental, mas não as executa em sala de aula? Por que a escola só adota uma atitude de respeito ao ambiente em épocas comemorativas alusivas à semana do meio ambiente, ao dia da árvore, entre outras? Diante desses questionamentos e a partir do debate acadêmico com as demais autoras, professoras universitárias que atuam na formação de professores, partiu-se para uma pesquisa que resultou neste livro, o qual confronta o ideário de sustentabilidade com a realidade cotidiana de escolas públicas, que, em tese, deveriam promover a formação das sociedades sustentáveis.
Download or read book Postanarchism written by Saul Newman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What shape can radical politics take today in a time abandoned by the great revolutionary projects of the past? In light of recent uprisings around the world against the neoliberal capitalist order, Saul Newman argues that anarchism - or as he calls it postanarchism - forms our contemporary political horizon. In this book, Newman develops an original political theory of postanarchism; a form of anti-authoritarian politics which starts, rather than finishes, with anarchy. He does this by asking four central questions: who are we as subjects; how do we resist; what is our relationship to violence; and, why do we obey? By drawing on a range of heterodox thinkers including La Boétie, Sorel, Benjamin, Stirner and Foucault, the author not only investigates the current conditions for radical political thought and action, but proposes a new form of politics based on what he calls ontological anarchy and the desire for autonomous life. Rather than seeking revolutionary emancipation or political hegemony, we should affirm instead the non-existence of power and the ever-present possibilities of freedom. As the tectonic plates of our time are shifting, revealing the nihilism and emptiness of our political and economic order, postanarchisms disdain for power in all its forms offers us genuine emancipatory potential.

Download or read book Mega Urban Regions of Southeast Asia written by Ira M. Robinson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguishing feature of recent urbanization in the ASEAN countries of Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia is the outward extension of their mega-cities (Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur) beyond the metropolitan borders, resulting in the establishment of new towns, industrial estates, and housing projects in previously rural areas. This process has both positive and negative effects. On one side, household incomes and employment opportunities are increasing, but on the other, the growth often causes serious problems in terms of environmental deterioration, conflicting land uses, and inadequate housing and service provisions. Mega Urban Regions of Southeast Asia is the first comprehensive work on the subject of ASEAN mega-urban regions. The contributors review T.G. McGee's original idea of desakota zones, and offer arguments both for and against this concept, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the true face of ASEAN cities. The book brings together authors from around the world and will be of interest to a wide audience, including demographers, urban planners, geographers, sociologists, economists, civil servants and development consultants.
