Interseccionalidade -Feminismos Plurais -Portuguese EditionA intenção da coleção Feminismos Plurais é trazer para o grande público questões importantes referentes aos mais diversos feminismos de forma didática e acessível. Neste volume, a autora Carla Akotirene discute o conceito de interseccionalidade como forma de abarcar as interseções a que está submetida uma pessoa, em especial a mulher negra. O termo define um posicionamento do feminismo negro frente às opressões da nossa sociedade cisheteropatriarcal branca, desfazendo a ideia de um feminismo global e hegemônico como diretriz única para definir as pautas de luta e resistência.ISBN 10: 8598349690ISBN 13: 9788598349695

Introduction to Systems Ecology -Applied Ecology and Environmental ManagementPossibly the first textbook to present a practically applicable ecosystems theory, Introduction to Systems Ecology helps readers understand how ecosystems work and how they react to disturbances. It demonstrates-with many examples and illustrations-how to apply the theory to explain observations and to make quantitative calculations and predictions.In this book, Sven Erik Jørgensen takes a first step toward integrating thermodynamics, biochemistry, hierarchical organization, and network theory into a holistic theory of systems ecology. The first part of the book covers the laws of thermodynamics and the basic biochemistry of living organisms, as well as the constraints they impose on ecosystems. To grow and develop, however, ecosystems have to evade these thermodynamic and biochemical constraints, so the second part of the book discusses the seven basic properties that enable ecosystems to grow, develop, and survive: They are open systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium. They are organized hierarchically. They have a high diversity. They have high buffer capacities toward changes. Their components are organized in cooperative networks, which allows for sophisticated feedback, regulation mechanisms, and higher efficiencies. They contain an enormous amount of information embodied in genomes. They have emerging system properties.This timely textbook also looks at how systems ecology is applied in integrated environmental management, particularly in ecological modeling and engineering and in the assessment of ecosystem health using ecological indicators. Acknowledging that there is still much room for improvement, it will inspire ecologists to develop a stronger and more widely applicable ecosystem theory.ISBN 10: 1439855013ISBN 13: 9781439855010

Je: Une traversée des identités« Je ». Une traversée des identités . Il y en a aujourd'hui qui haïssent le « Je », qui déclarent sa fin prochaine, ou même sa disparition accomplie. Il y en a qui préfèrent le « Nous », l'identité qui peut se partager ; d'autres encore qui préfèrent le « Il » scientifique, l'identité qui peut se compter. Comment alors continuer à être « Je » lorsque l'époque tend à faire disparaître la nécessité d'un rapport subjectivé à son existence ? Le narcissisme de masse se présente paradoxalement comme un effort pour continuer à exister en première personne dans le monde uniforme de la globalisation. Mais n'est-ce pas là un autre piège ? Le déchaînement des passions sur les réseaux sociaux, la mise en scène de notre vie privée, le partage de notre intimité nous aident-ils vraiment à retrouver notre singularité perdue dans l'univers irrespirable de la quantification de soi et de la marchandisation des expériences ? Parier sur le « Je » offre une autre voie que le narcissisme. Parier sur le « Je », c'est accepter de miser sur la parole et le langage, c'est continuer de croire avec Freud et Lacan dans les messages de nos rêves et de nos cauchemars, c'est ne pas suturer la dimension de l'inconscient. Parier sur le « Je », c'est faire une traversée : la traversée des identités.ISBN 10: 2130796036ISBN 13: 9782130796039
