The Practice of Politics in Postcolonial Brazil
The Practice of Politics in Postcolonial Brazil traces the history of high and low politics in nineteenth-century Brazil from the vantage point of the provincial capital of Porto Alegre. In the immediate postcolonial period, new ideas about citizenship and freedom were developing, and elites struggled for control of the state as the lower classes sought inclusion in political life. In a shift from the Liberal Party to Positivist or Conservative rule during the bloody Federalist Revolt of 1893-1895, new leaders sought to bring about a more balanced structure of government where the capitalist was sympathetic to the worker, and the worker more passive toward the elite. This represented a compl...
Anti-Fascism in a Global Perspective
This book initiates a critical discussion on the varieties of global anti-fascism and explores the cultural, political and practical articulations of anti-fascism around the world. This volume brings together a group of leading scholars on the history of anti-fascism to provide a comprehensive analysis of anti-fascism from a transnational and global perspective and to reveal the abundance and complexity of anti-fascist ideas, movements and practices. Through a number of interlinked case studies, they examine how different forms of global anti-fascisms were embedded in various national and local contexts during the interwar period and investigate the interrelations between local articulations...
A Cidade
No capítulo 4, Roque Callage demonstra seu entusiasmo pelos trabalhos de reforma urbana empreendidos pela Intendência Municipal. Nesse processo de sincronização da capital gaúcha com a modernidade urbana, o cronista acompanha com ansiedade as obras em curso, apresentando sugestões e críticas, interpondo-se à ação dos agentes públicos e privados e se mostrando firmemente engajado na formação de uma opinião pública participante e exigente. As crônicas do capítulo 5 tratam da sociabilidade urbana, da vida cultural e artística, do esporte e do lazer, momentos de ócio que proporcionavam aos moradores da cidade o desejado refrigério na "luta pela vida", abrindo espaço para novas formas de viver coletivamente o ambiente urbano. Essas atividades forneciam aos habitantes da cidade o necessário alimento para o sonho naquela turbulenta segunda metade da década de 1920.
Three is a Crowd?
The book describes three siblings' apportioning of linguistic and cultural space among three languages: Portuguese, Swedish and English. Parallel strategies accounting for monolingual and multilingual language management shape a truly illuminating picture of child linguistic competence. Written by a multilingual parent, educator and linguist, this book is for parents, educators and linguists in our predominantly, increasingly multilingual world.
An Ethnography of the Lives of Japanese and Japanese Brazilian Migrants
In this book, Ethel Kosminsky studies the Japanese emigration to the planned colony of Bastos in São Paulo, Brazil in the early twentieth century. She explores the stories of Japanese immigrants who replaced the labor of recently-freed slaves on coffee plantations, and their descendants’ return migration to Japan when the Bastos economy began to suffer in the late twentieth century. Using interviews and fieldwork done in both Bastos and Japan, Kosminsky integrates sociological, historical, political, economic, and ethnographic knowledge to analyze the consequences of these temporary labor migrations on the immigrants and their families.
Multiword Expressions Acquisition
This book is an excellent introduction to multiword expressions. It provides a unique, comprehensive and up-to-date overview of this exciting topic in computational linguistics. The first part describes the diversity and richness of multiword expressions, including many examples in several languages. These constructions are not only complex and arbitrary, but also much more frequent than one would guess, making them a real nightmare for natural language processing applications. The second part introduces a new generic framework for automatic acquisition of multiword expressions from texts. Furthermore, it describes the accompanying free software tool, the mwetoolkit, which comes in handy ...
