Co-curating the City
Co-curating the City explores the role of universities in the construction and mobilisation of heritage discourses in urban development and regeneration processes, with a focus on six case study sites: University of Gothenburg (Sweden), UCL East (London), University of Lund (Sweden). Roma Tre university (Rome), American University of Beirut, and Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil. The aim of the book is to expand the field of critical heritage studies in the urban domain, by examining the role of institutional actors both in the construction of urban heritage discourses and in how those discourses influence urban planning decisions or become instrumentalised as mechanisms for urban reg...
The Brazilian Revolution of 1930
The third of October 2020 marked the 90th anniversary of the Brazilian Revolution of 1930. Although this event is recognized in Brazilian historiography as an important landmark in the construction of contemporary Brazil, debate, discourse and indeed publications commemorating the event have been much less numerous and profound than would be expected. Comparisons have been made with what took place in 1980, the year of the revolutions fiftieth anniversary, where meaningful historical judgements were made across a wide spectrum of society and the political establishment. It is pertinent to ask why there is no longer the appetite for substantive discussion on the Vargas period. Perhaps it is d...
Brazil on the Global Stage
In the past generation, Brazil has risen to become the seventh largest economy and fourth largest democracy in the world. Yet its rise challenges the conventional wisdom that capitalist democracies will necessarily converge to become faithful adherents of a US-led global liberal order. Indeed, Brazil demonstrates that middle powers, even those of a deeply democratic bent, may differ in their views of what democracy means on the global stage and how international relations should be conducted among sovereign nations. This volume explores Brazil's postures on specific aspects of foreign relations, including trade, foreign and environmental policy, humanitarian intervention, nuclear proliferation and South-South relations, among other topics. The authors argue from a variety of perspectives that, even as Brazil seeks greater integration and recognition, it also brings challenges to the status quo that are emblematic of the tensions accompanying the rise to prominence of a number of middle powers in an increasingly multipolar world system.
Policy analysis in Brazil
An inaugural volume in the International Library of Policy Analysis series, this book brings together eighteen leading Brazilian social scientists who paint the first comprehensive portrait of policy analysis in Brazil. Their contributions trace policy analysis from the 1930s, when it emerged as a tool of Brazilian state building, through the 1980s, when increasing democratization began to allow for citizen participation in public management. Ultimately, policy analysis emerges as a multifaceted activity pursued in an array of contexts, and through a variety of methods, by both governmental and non-governmental actors.

A Dor da Saudade
Este livro trata do universo musical do compositor Elpídio dos Santos (1909-1970), com direcionamento para o gênero cancional caipira, área na qual obteve maior reconhecimento durante sua trajetória. Ele concebeu, ao longo de quatro décadas de atividade, cerca de mil obras nos mais variados gêneros, figurando entre os principais: caipira, samba, choro, valsa, baião, marchinha e samba-canção, embora apenas cerca de setenta canções tenha sido gravadas. Notabilizou-se principalmente entre as décadas de 1950 e 1960, ao compor diversas trilhas musicais para filmes de Mazzaropi, tendo sido o compositor preferido do cineasta para essa finalidade. Além de apresentar a obra do compositor, de modo geral, a pesquisa também busca situá-lo no cenário musical de seu tempo e determinar sua atuação como criador de canções de temática caipira em diferentes estilos do gênero. Assim, ao tratar desses temas, a proposta busca valorizar e preservar a memória do compositor, trazendo à luz uma visão geral de seu discurso poético-musical, bem como dirigir o olhar para a relevância cultural da música caipira para nosso povo.
Neurociência e música
Há quem diga que ciência e arte são opostas ou não se misturam: uma é mensurável, a outra, intuitiva; uma é lógica, a outra, abstrata. Será mesmo? Se nosso cérebro tudo observa, interpreta, cria, sistematiza, assimila e executa, não seriam arte e ciência produtos de um mesmo radical? Os métodos científicos não foram criados por cérebros criativos? Muitos métodos científicos surgiram de forma intuitiva, e passaram por muita improvisação antes de serem sistematicamente organizados. Operar precisamente um tumor cerebral não seria tão belo e perigoso quanto fazer uma acrobacia numa corda bamba? Ou conseguir organizar o código genético, não seria tão complexo e profundo ...
Comparing Transitions to Democracy. Law and Justice in South America and Europe
This present book examines some of the key features of the interplay between legal history, authoritarian rule and political transitions in Brazil and other countries from the end of 20th Century until today. This book casts light on these aspects of the role of law and legal actors/institutions. In the context of transition from authoritarian rule to democratic state, Brazil has produced a significant literature on the challenges and shortcomings of the transition, but little attention has been given to the role of law and legal actors/institutions. Different approaches focus on the legal mechanisms, discourses and practices used by the military regime and by the players involved in the pol...
