Following the excellent reception of the first two editions of the AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report (2014 and 2015) – more than 5,000 copies of each have been distributed over the past two years – we are pleased to share with culture sector professionals the third edition, which sets out to analyse the impact of new technologies on artistic creation and their use at cultural festivals. To achieve this aim, the broad-ranging content of the third edition of the report has been divided into two main sections to make it easier to read for the different audiences at which it is aimed. 'Smart Culture' is the overarching theme established by the Advisory Committee of the AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report 2016 as a basis for choosing the six articles that make up the first part of this year's edition. Just as the first report's Focus dealt with the impact of the Internet on the performing arts (theatre, opera, dance, ballet, etc.) and that of the second edition analysed the use of new technologies in the world of museums, for this third edition it conducts a thorough analysis of the use of new technologies at some 50 Spanish and foreign cultural festivals.
This ground-breaking, interdisciplinary volume provides an overdue assessment of how infertility has been understood, treated and experienced in different times and places. It brings together scholars from disciplines including history, literature, psychology, philosophy, and the social sciences to create the first large-scale review of recent research on the history of infertility. Through exploring an unparalleled range of chronological periods and geographical regions, it develops historical perspectives on an apparently transhistorical experience. It shows how experiences of infertility, access to treatment, and medical perspectives on this ‘condition’ have been mediated by social, political, and cultural discourses. The handbook reflects on and interrogates different approaches to the history of infertility, including the potential of cross-disciplinary perspectives and the uses of different kinds of historical source material, and includes lists of research resources to aid teachers and researchers. It is an essential ‘go-to’ point for anyone interested in infertility and its history. Chapter 19 is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
At the end of the last century, social emotional learning (SEL) emerged as a relevant theme in education all over the world. What is SEL? SEL may be defined as a multidimensional construct orchestrating individuals’ ability to identify and manage emotions, feelings, and concern for others, as well as to organize and manage behaviors toward goals, solve problems and develop positive relationships. SEL has been gaining growing popularity among researchers and practitioners. Still, there is a reasonable degree of ambiguity regarding the concept. In fact, the term is often used as an umbrella for many types of programs and interventions from distinct areas such as school, public health, mental health or character education, addressing the vulnerability of children and youth to various social and psychological problems. What is more, topics covered under the SEL umbrella are diverse as follows: emotions, cognition (including multiple intelligences), motivation, socialization in schools and families, and self-regulation and its effects.
Que pensa uma mulher de 60 anos enquanto os homens se matam uns aos outros? Que a preocupa para alem da crise e das guerras? Que utilidade lhe encontram, quanto vale para certas pessoas? Que amores ainda a podem surpreender? Que esperancas, que forcas lhe restar?o antes de se render a idade? Numa epoca em que a beleza e a juventude se apresentam como divindades e o dinheiro se revela - dir-se-ia - como a unica religi?o verdadeiramente ecumenica do Mundo, e com a singularidade do individuo a margem destes padr?es que a grande humanidade se identifica. Talvez por isso, Rita Ferro teime em deixar o testemunho do seu tempo, lugar e circunstancia, partilhando com os leitores o seu Diario 2, interlocutor das suas memorias, perplexidades e reflex?es na passagem para os sessenta.

Esta obra conta uma história de mensageiros. Mensageiros, carteiros e estafetas povoam a literatura, o imaginário coletivo e as páginas escritas pelos historiadores, e permeiam desde a Bíblia, até os romances do século XIX, o cotidiano da Belle Époque e a história econômica de Braudel. Há, contudo, uma história muito particular que aguardou séculos para ser contada, sobre as estratégias por trás da aceitação de dispor ou não de um correio na América Portuguesa, essas terras que hoje são o Brasil. Essas peripécias foram analisadas pelo autor tomando diferentes escolhas de agentes sociais desde o século XVI até o século XVIII.
