"Going Tactile is an ethnographic exploration of life in DeafBlind communities in the U.S. during a time when political efforts were shifting away from gaining access to visual worlds and toward the discovery of new, tactile worlds. In the years leading up to this moment, the goal was to obtain resources that could be used to pay for sighted interpreters. Unlike interpreters who translate from one language to another, these interpreters were trained to give DeafBlind people access to the immediate environment by describing it. In the early 2010s, DeafBlind leaders intervened, arguing that descriptions of the world are no substitute for the world itself. They advanced the radical claim that hearing and vision are not necessary for things like joining or leaving a conversation, observing others, or being with them in silence. They called their effort "the protactile movement". As this movement took root in practices and institutions, DeafBlind people who had once faced existential collapse due to excessive social constraints on touch, found themselves in an vivid, intelligible world, replete with possible paths forward. Drawing on 30 months of anthropological fieldwork with DeafBlind artists, intellectuals, political leaders, and community members involved in the protactile movement, this book asks: When the world is collapsing around you, and existence is at stake, how can language be of use, where are its limits, and how can we understand the forms of meaning that lie beyond it?"--

"We Who Walk the Seven Ways is Terra Trevor's memoir about seeking healing and finding belonging. After a difficult loss, a circle of Native women elders embraced and guided Trevor (Cherokee, Lenape, Seneca, and German) through the seven cycles of life in the indigenous ways. Over three decades, these women lifted her from grief, instructed her in living, and showed her how to age from youth into beauty. With tender honesty, Trevor explores how the end is always a beginning. Her reflections on the deep power of female friendship, on losing a child, reconciling complicated roots, and finding richness in living every stage of life shows that being an American Indian with a complex lineage is not about being part something--it is about being part of something"--

"Principles of International Finance and Open Economy Macroeconomics presents a macroeconomic framework for understanding and analyzing the global economy from the perspectives of emerging economies and developing countries. Unlike most macroeconomic textbooks, which typically emphasize issues about developed countries while downplaying issues related to developing countries, this book emphasizes problems in emerging economies, such as those in Latin American countries. It also explains recent developments in international finance that are essential to understand effects and implications of the recent financial crisis, not present in other textbooks. Explanations are made step-by-step, focusing on economic intuition. More complicated mathematical passages are developed in appendices at the end of the chapter"--Back cover

A não-materialidade das coisas se mostram na confluência de uma vida incessante. Coisas que se transformam e coexistem nas relações dos movimentos naturais reveladas no escape do controle do olhar, na contemplação, em um instante. Neste lugar, elas tomam para si o protagonismo da cena, invertendo o ponto de vista, alternando perspectivas, abrindo possibilidades para o entendimento de outras realidades possíveis, quando as coisas se revelam naquilo que não é antecipado, em um momento de suspensão

The state of childcare in Canada is an issue of children's rights that warrants critical examination. Grounded by a children-centred lens, this study reveals the ways in which systems of power in Canada exert their control over policy issues related to children through political discourse. Using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis, integrated with Fairclough and Fairclough's Political Discourse Analysis, key moments in the history of childcare in Canada were explored between 1984 and 2017. The research question that guides the analysis explored change and continuity related to the constructions of childhood and the collective identities of children embedded within the political discourse of three governing political parties in Canada: The Progressive Conservatives (1984-1993), the Liberals (1993-2006), the Conservatives (2006-2015), and the Liberals (2015-present). Analysis reveals the ways childhood and children are viewed and valued by these governing bodies of power, and how these views and values have influenced the development of childcare policies, which have, thus far, ignored children-centred considerations to childcare. The main conclusion from this research study is that the constructions of childhood and the collective identities of children, and the views and values related childcare, have changed significantly throughout history. What remains constant is how these constructions and values are influenced by adult-centric economic, social and political interests of the era. As such, policy decisions made in the "best interests of children" warrant scrutiny and demand a level of accountability, through a human rights framework, such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). While Canada is a signatory to the UNCRC, thus committing the country to upholding children's rights, including that of childcare, its Federal governments, throughout a history that spans more than three decades, have never promoted children's rights in a meaningful way. ; October 2018

The Brazilian economy grew 7.5% in 2010, when Mr. Lula finished his second mandate as president with a popularity rate of 85%. Six years later, his successor, Ms. Rousseff, is suspended from the presidency under an impeachment trial, while the economy endures a recession of 3.8% of the GDP for the second consecutive year. In this article I argue that the current economic crisis is the result of ill-advised economic policies. Ms. Rousseff's government altered each one of the tripod of policies implemented by Mr. Cardoso in the 1990s, which had been successful in maintaining macroeconomic stability (namely, the inflation targeting regime, the floating exchange rate and the fiscal austerity). Also, Ms. Rousseff's government greatly expanded the improperly designed industrial policies that were reintroduced in Brazil during the second mandate of Mr. Lula, which created distortions in the economy and a large fiscal burden for the government. The acting president, Mr. Temer faces great difficulties to put the economy back in order, since unpopular measures are required that are very hard to be implemented in the midst of the current political turmoil.
