Vendo vozes uma viagem ao mundo dos surdos"O que é necessário [...] para nos tornarmos seres humanos completos? O que denominamos nossa humanidade dependerá parcialmente da linguagem? O que acontece conosco se não aprendermos língua alguma? A linguagem desenvolve-se de um modo espontâneo e natural ou requer contato com outros seres humanos?" Numa fascinante incursão pelo universo dos surdos, Oliver Sacks procura responder a questões como essas. Sua preocupação não é simplesmente apresentar ao leitor a condição daqueles que não conseguem ouvir. Acompanhando a história, os dramas e as lutas dessas pessoas, o leitor será levado a olhar para o seu próprio cotidiano de um modo inteiramente novo. Será capaz de ouvir, nos sons da linguagem, um pequeno milagre que se repete cada vez que uma nova sentença é proferida.Capa comum: 216 páginasEditora: Companhia de Bolso; Edição: Edição de bolso (8 de março de 2010)Idioma: PortuguêsISBN-10: 8535916083ISBN-13: 978-8535916089Dimensões do produto: 17,8 x 12,4 x 1,2 cmPeso de envio: 599 gISBN 10: 8535916083ISBN 13: 9788535916089
Vestido de Noiva -Em Portugues do BrasilA peça que revolucionou o teatro brasileiro conta a história de Alaíde, moça atropelada por um automóvel que, enquanto é operada no hospital, relembra o conflito com a irmã, Lúcia, de quem tomou o namorado, Pedro, e imagina seu encontro com Madame Clessi, cafetina assassinada pelo namorado de 17 anos. Influenciada pelas idéias de Freud, a história é contada em três planos - o da realidade, onde ela é operada e seu acidente é comentado por jornalistas, o da alucinação (em que surge Madame Clessi, que Alaíde conheceu lendo o seu diário) e o da memória (em que ela lembra o triângulo amoroso com Lúcia e Pedro). O enredo abusa de flash-backs, recurso, na época, usado apenas no cinema. A montagem de Ziembinski foi inovadora e contribuiu para o sucesso do texto. Os três planos da ação foram divididos em três andares diferentes no cenário idealizado pelo pintor Santa Rosa.ISBN 10: 8520944612ISBN 13: 9788520944615

Welfare for Markets: A Global History of Basic Income -The Life of IdeasA sweeping intellectual history of the welfare state’s policy-in-waiting.The idea of a government paying its citizens to keep them out of poverty—now known as basic income—is hardly new. Often dated as far back as ancient Rome, basic income’s modern conception truly emerged in the late nineteenth century. Yet as one of today’s most controversial proposals, it draws supporters from across the political spectrum.In this eye-opening work, Anton Jäger and Daniel Zamora Vargas trace basic income from its rise in American and British policy debates following periods of economic tumult to its modern relationship with technopopulist figures in Silicon Valley. They chronicle how the idea first arose in the United States and Europe as a market-friendly alternative to the postwar welfare state and how interest in the policy has grown in the wake of the 2008 credit crisis and COVID-19 crash.An incisive, comprehensive history, Welfare for Markets tells the story of how a fringe idea conceived in economics seminars went global, revealing the most significant shift in political culture since the end of the Cold War.ISBN 10: 0226823687ISBN 13: 9780226823683

When Corporations Rule the WorldOur Choice: Democracy or Corporate RuleA handful of corporations and financial institutions command an ever-greater concentration of economic and political power in an assault against markets, democracy, and life.

In this twentieth-anniversary edition, Korten shares insights from his personal experience as a participant in the growing movement for a New Economy. A new introduction documents the further concentration of wealth and corporate power since 1995 and explores why our institutions resolutely resist even modest reform. A new conclusion chapter outlines high-leverage opportunities for breakthrough change.ISBN 10: 1626562873ISBN 13: 9781626562875
Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality"Utterly fascinating." —Bill Bryson
"An incredible journey." —Siddhartha Mukherjee
A groundbreaking exploration of the science of longevity and mortality—from Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist Venki Ramakrishnan
The knowledge of death is so terrifying that we live most of our lives in denial of it. One of the most difficult moments of childhood must be when each of us first realizes that not only we but all our loved ones will die—and there is nothing we can do about it.
Or at least, there hasn’t been. Today, we are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in understanding why we age—and why some species live longer than others. Could we eventually cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan?
Venki Ramakrishnan, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and former president of the Royal Society, takes us on a riveting journey to the frontiers of biology, asking whether we must be mortal. Covering the recent breakthroughs in scientific research, he examines the cutting edge of efforts to extend lifespan by altering our physiology. But might death serve a necessary biological purpose? What are the social and ethical costs of attempting to live forever?
Why We Die is a narrative of uncommon insight and beauty from one of our leading public intellectuals.

World Cinema as novas cartografias do cinema mundialO conceito de world cinema, ou cinema mundial, foi ganhando contornos mais definidos no Brasil ao longo da última década, graças, em parte, a algumas importantes pesquisas e coletâneas sobre o assunto. Contudo, diferentemente destas, o presente volume não procura apresentar um panorama abrangente da produção cinematográfica do mundo. Em vez disso, foi feito um recorte com capítulos que procuram demonstrar os progressos obtidos na teorização do conceito de world cinema em anos recentes, fazendo uso de abordagens consagradas, a fim de expandir o cânone, revisitar e revisar a história cinematográfica. Tanto autores brasileiros e estrangeiros baseados no Brasil (como Esther Hamburger e Carolin Overhoff Ferreira) quanto pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros radicados no exterior (Lucia Nagib e Dudley Andrew, entre outros) discutem ou ilustram tal intercâmbio – de ideias, de olhares etc. – tão central a esse conceito. O próprio livro é fruto de um intercâmbio entre a Socine, agora uma das maiores associações de estudos de cinema do mundo, e o Centre for World Cinemas de Leeds, Inglaterra, o primeiro centro dedicado ao estudo de cinema mundial.ISBN 10: 8530810600ISBN 13: 9788530810603

Yasmeen Lari: Architecture for the FutureA rich exploration of the extraordinary life and work of celebrated architect Yasmeen Lari, winner of the 2023 RIBA Royal Gold Medal.After more than three decades as a renowned global architect, Yasmeen Lari, the first woman to open her own architecture firm in Pakistan in 1964, developed Zero Carbon Architecture, which unites ecological and social justice. This volume, edited by Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny, and Marvi Mazhar, presents Lari’s trajectory from exemplary modernist to zero carbon revolutionary, with a focus on her remarkable contributions to the global architectural movement to decarbonize and decolonize. The book includes extensive photographs, drawings, and plans from Lari’s archive, most of which have not previously been shown or published.Lari’s architectural thinking and activism have always gone beyond the quest for a singular built solution. Rather, she strategically plans systemic approaches and solutions, be it for housing, a heritage foundation, or zero-carbon shelters with communities at risk. Original essays from diverse international contributors contextualize Lari’s work; investigate architecture and the postimperial, postcolonial, and postpartition condition; and examine the intersections of architecture and human rights, climate change, decolonization, gender, care, activism, and vernacular innovation. More than a tribute to Yasmeen Lari’s extraordinary career, this volume brings her legacy forward and shows how to create change today.Contributors:Abira Ashfaq, Cassandra Cozza, Angelika Fitz, Runa Kahn, Anne Karpf, Elke Krasny, Marvi Mazhar, Chris Moffat, Anila Naeem, Raquel Rolnik, Helen Thomas, Rafia ZakariaISBN 10: 0262546094ISBN 13: 9780262546096
