Este é um trabalho único, daqueles livros obrigatórios que de tempos em tempos ajudam a entender melhor as agruras do país em que vivemos.O jornalista Marcelo Godoy, que construiu nos últimos 25 anos uma respeitadissima reputaço nas redaçes de grandes publicaçes, dedicou-se por uma decada a mais ingrata das tarefas da profisso: fazer falar quem passou a vida se escondendo.Godoy ouviu alguns dos mais ativos agentes da represso da ditadura militar para contar a historia do DOI-Codi (Destacamento de Operaçes de Informaçes - Centro de Operaçes de Defesa Interna) de So Paulo. Criado a partir de uma operaço semiclandestina instituida pelo governo, a Oban (Operaço Bandeirantes), o DOI-Codi se transformou rapidamente, no inicio dos anos 1970, no instrumento do regime de exceço para combater as organizaçes de esquerda.Inicialmente, o alvo foi os grupos que optaram pela luta armada. A doutrina do combate a guerra revolucionaria mobilizava os militares no Ocidente do pos-guerra, somada a elementos apreendidos da experiencia francesa na Argelia, inspirou a criaço do orgo que juntou policiais civis ligados ao Esquadro da Morte com militares que viam, como primeiro objetivo, eliminar os inimigos.Essa logica de investigaço policial aliada a praticas e hierarquias militares resultou numa maquina de tortura e morte que ultrapassou qualquer limite de humanidade.Alem de mais de duas dezenas de entrevistas com homens e mulheres que defendiam o regime, Godoy tambem realizou uma dedicada leitura dos principais livros e teses academicas sobre a represso, o que lhe permitiu compreender, como nunca havia sido feito, documentos ineditos que mostram as engrenagens do DOI-Codi paulista e sua articulaço com o sistema de informaço e represso da ditadura.O aniquilamento de grupos guerrilheiros como Molipo e ALN encontra, neste livro, sua mais completa e detalhada descriço. Alguns dos crimes mais violentos da represso tambem so elucidados.

Quatro importantes livros do feminismo reunidos pela primeira vez.Esta Biblioteca Essencial do Feminismo apresenta quatro livros que reúnem de fato o que há de essencial, fundamental, no pensamento feminista. A mistica feminina, classico de Betty Friedan, que inaugurou a segunda onda, indica que a "causa real para o feminismo [...] era o vazio do papel da esposa dona de casa". O mito da beleza, de Naomi Wolf marcou o inicio da terceira onda, afirmando que "Estamos em meio a uma violenta reaço contra o feminismo, que emprega imagens da beleza feminina como uma arma politica contra a evoluço da mulher". O feminismo e para todo mundo apresenta o feminismo negro e visionario de bell hooks, que registra: "O feminismo e um movimento para acabar com sexismo, exploraço sexista e opresso". Feminismo em comum, de Marcia Tiburi, e uma bela introduço aos feminismos, incluindo o trans e o indigena, e nos conta que "O feminismo e o contrario da solido".

Reading Visual Investigations delves into a new discipline--visual investigations--in which architecture intersects with advocacy, journalism, and law in the pursuit of justice and accountability. This publication presents insights into the current discourse within the emergent field, illustrated by intriguing case studies from around the world. It highlights the role of architecture as a key area of expertise that defines this evolving practice. Eight experts from the fields of digital and spatial analysis, human rights, legal studies, investigative journalism, and forensic analysis offer critical, scientifically grounded discourse on the topic through essays and interviews. The books contributors examine a range of methods and architectural tools employed in visual investigations and their impact on human rights and legal processes. Additionally, the involved investigators and the editors provide an in-depth analysis of international research by introducing seven case studies and presenting their methods, content, and conclusions in diverse formats, including maps, films, models, and interactive platforms used to expose human rights violations. Reading Visual Investigations is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the dynamic and evolving practice of visual investigations. It provides practical insights that integrate traditional reporting with digital forensics and the analysis of visual evidence. The book strives to bridge the gap between architectural expertise and the urgent need for effective advocacy and accountability mechanisms in contemporary society.

This book describes Trumpism: the strong allegiance to former President Donald Trump that is in evidence among a sizable portion of the US population. How did Trump come to be elected in 2016, and who supported him during his presidential tenure - and why? How is it that he continues to hold cult-like status, exerting a strong influence not only on many individuals but also on numerous elected officials, despite his defeat in 2020? Why does his character continue to be an object of fascination even among anti-Trumpists, and why will Trumpism continue to play a major role in the American sociopolitical landscape even now he has left the presidential stage? Michael J. Diamond ponders these questions through the lenses of American history and culture, political theory, social phenomena, group dynamics, and psychoanalysis. In exploring the relationship between large-group regression, cultism, destructive populism, delusional thinking, conspiratorial beliefs, authoritarianism, and leadership characterised by narcissism and paranoia, psychoanalytic ideas pertaining to group dynamics, malignant regression, and leadership are brought into play. Prominent psychoanalytic thinkers who have addressed these topics and whose work usefully contributes to the discussion include Bion, Freud, Fromm, Bollas, Kernberg, Lifton, Rosenfeld, and Volkan, as well as Bleger, Jaques, and several more recent Kleinian/Bionian-influenced analysts. Most important, the book makes use of these understandings to reestablish a sufficiently containing frame that strengthens the body politics nonpathological elements in order to come to grips with these disturbing factors. Whatever their political beliefs, psychoanalysts in the US and worldwide will find much to think about in reading this books application of their discipline to todays sociopolitical environment. In addition, the books insights extend beyond arguments targeting a strictly psychoanalytic audience in order to reach social and political thinkers, as well as activists, who are deeply concerned about dangers threatening the very foundations of democracy in the US and worldwide. And finally, the thoughtful lay person will appreciate the accessibility to all these fields that the book provides, and will come away with a much deeper understanding of just what motivates us to take a stand for or against a given political figure. In short, conceptual tools are provided that lead to greater understanding as well as effective strategies and tactics for containment of destructive forces - largely unconscious ones - that imperil our society.

Cuando uno huye, siempre huye a otra parte: hacia otros paisajes, otros olores, otros sonidos; hacia una seguridad que, al mismo tiempo, tambien es un sentimiento de precariedad. Elsewhere es el lugar al que se desplazan los emigrantes del mundo y donde esperan encontrar cobijo quienes buscan asilo de la guerra y la persecucion. Elsewhere es un lugar entre el pasado y el futuro, entre el dolor y la serenidad, entre la esperanza y la nostalgia. Este libro reune 60 ventanas que miran hacia otra parte: 60 dibujos, realizados por Matteo Pericoli, acompañan las vistas que ven cada dia 60 refugiados; relatos que narran en primera persona su nueva vida en un pais extranjero tras haberlo dejado todo atras. Lo que surge es un testimonio unico de la dificil situacion de quienes viven bajo proteccion internacional, pero tambien un retrato intimo de estas existencias que son extraordinarias a su manera: desde la activista iraqui Nadia Murad, que recuerda los paisajes perdidos de su infancia, hasta la refugiada etiope Nyamal Biel, que ahora lucha por dar un futuro a los ninos de los campos de refugiados; desde la vietnamita Viet Thanh Nguyen, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, que recuerda la ventanilla de la autopista en sus primeros anos como exiliada, hasta Sarah Mardini, que huyo de Siria y mas tarde fue detenida bajo cargos falsos mientras ayudaba a los migrantes frente a las costas de Grecia; desde Albie Sachs, el juez sudafricano antiapartheid que se vio obligado a abandonar el pais tras un intento de asesinato en el que perdio un brazo y ahora vuelve a contemplar las montanas de Ciudad del Cabo, hasta el joven afgano Ubdar, que recuerda cuando sentarse cerca de una ventana significaba arriesgar la vida. Ventanas en otros lugares es un viaje en palabras e imagenes que parte de las experiencias de los refugiados del mundo y llega a las raices del alma humana. Porque, como escribe Colum McCann en la introduccion, "no hay ventana mas misteriosa que la que mira al lugar al que no podemos volver".

Después de un riguroso proceso de investigación y revisión académica, me honra presentar el libro Lecturas sobre Derecho del Medio Ambiente, Tomo xxv, una obra que refleja el compromiso constante del Departamento de Derecho del Medio Ambiente de la Universidad Externado de Colombia con la construccion de pensamiento juridico critico, propositivo y pertinente. Con esta entrega, alcanzamos un hito editorial de gran valor: la consolidacion de una de las colecciones mas importantes del pais en materia de derecho ambiental, con veinticinco tomos publicados de manera continua. Este tomo surge en un momento de especial relevancia para Colombia, pues con la realizacion de la cop16 el año 2024, con sede en Cali, se fortalecio el papel del pais en la discusion global sobre biodiversidad y justicia ambiental, y se evidencio la urgencia de seguir aportando desde la academia a la comprension de los retos que impone la actual crisis planetaria.

La solución a la crisis socioambiental, el más grande y crucial desafío de aprendizaje de la humanidad en su historia, supone dos revoluciones entrelazadas, educativa y tecnológica. La segunda ha relegado la primera, todavia mas fundamental, pues la sostenibilidad global requiere un profundo cambio sociocultural, de valores y normas sociales, modelos mentales compartidos, capacidades, estructuras socioeconomicas y politicas, y una ciudadania global ..., cambio que es de una envergadura mayor al que condujo a la abolicion de la esclavitud. Este libro ofrece una descripcion accesible de la magnitud de la crisis, esbozando a la par la revolucion educativa para formar ciudadanos globales a la altura de ese desafio, revolucion que las TIC han hecho posible; todo ello desde la perspectiva de la politica publica educativa colombiana, teniendo en cuenta nuestro contexto historico.El libro consta de siete capitulos: los dos primeros bosquejan los contextos global -enfatizando lo socioambiental y lo tecnologico- y nacional; los tres siguientes repasan los grandes y perennes debates educativos tomando en consideracion los desafios actuales, y desemboca en el candente debate sobre el papel de las TIC en las practicas educativas. El sexto ofrece un vistazo de los desafios que enfrenta el sistema educativo colombiano. El capitulo final integra los tres campos referidos en el titulo, explicitando las relaciones no evidentes entre ellos y concluyendo el argumento que se teje a lo largo del libro.

En este libro los lectores encontrarán una verdadera mezcla de temas extraídos de las columnas de Diego García-Sayán. Pocos temas relevantes relacionados con los derechos humanos, el Estado de derecho, la democracia, el multilateralismo y las relaciones internacionales quedan fuera de este tesoro.
