OLHARES SOBRE A POLÍCIA MILITAR: questões metodológicas” surge de uma preocupação com as atuais pesquisas realizadas por e sobre polícia militar no Brasil. O “olhar situado”, que na antropologia é uma preocupação constante como uma espécie de escrutínio da objetividade dos dados e da descrição do pesquisador. No método de observação partipante a descrição circunstanciada de eventos e pessoas nada mais é do que a produção de um discurso, no caso antropológico, feito sob condições de produção específicas e efeitos das relações de lugar.
Polícia e Sociologia reúne textos especialmente sob um ponto de vista sociológico, mas sem se descuidar de certa interdisciplinaridade quanto a aspectos teóricos e metodológicos, sobre os dilemas que envolvem as Polícias Militares brasileiras.
Esta obra resulta de uma pesquisa de abrangência nacional, financiada pelo Programa das Nações Unidas/PNUD e Secretaria Nacional de Segurança Pública (SENASP), envolvendo três capitais brasileiras: Cuiabá (MT), São Luiz do Maranhão (MA), Belém do Pará (PA), que busca compreender o quadro relacional entre a população em situação ou condição de rua e os agentes de segurança pública. O objetivo principal é compreender as percepções dos (as) agentes de segurança pública diante das abordagens policiais, os procedimentos de orientação, atendimento e acolhida às pessoas em condição ou situação de rua e como estas pessoas, em extrema vulnerabilidade, constroem suas ped...
Antibiotics represent one of the most successful forms of therapy in medicine. But the efficiency of antibiotics is compromised by the growing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Antibiotic resistance, which is implicated in elevated morbidity and mortality rates as well as in the increased treatment costs, is considered to be one of the major global public health threats (www.who.int/drugresistance/en/) and the magnitude of the problem recently prompted a number of international and national bodies to take actions to protect the public (http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/health_consumer/docs/road-map-amr_en.pdf: http://www.who.int/drugresistance/amr_global_action_plan/en/; http://www.whitehouse....
In Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships, Allen examines the lives of Brazilian women in same-sex relationships. This examination contributes to interdisciplinary discussions of female same-sex sexuality, violence, race, and citizenship. Using fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, primarily with Afro-Brazilian women in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Allen argues that Brazilian lesbian women reject Brazilian cultural norms that encourage male domination and female submission through their engagement in romantic relationships with each other. At the same time Allen claims lesbian women also reproduce Brazilian cultural ideals that associate passion, intensity, and power with physical dominance through their engagement in infidelity and intimate partner violence. The book demonstrates that lesbian women are nonetheless marginalized as Brazilian citizens through widespread social and political invisibility despite these apparent displays of masculinized power.
