Circular Economy

a new mindset on sustainable development

By: Suzana Borschiver ,Aline Tavares

The concept of Circular Economy, which is the central theme of this book, is based on the preservation and increase of natural capital by controlling finite stocks and balancing the flow of renewable resources. Both sustainability and Circular Economy concepts go together and share the objective of mitigating the negative externalities mentioned here. The strategies to find the possible answers go through several actions. An economic model that implies changes in the way of thinking and acting in a society requires the training of people and professionals focused on its application. The publication of this book was a way of delivering the results of this work to the society, placing its individuals as agents of social transformation. In this context, the chapters are varied purposefully, so that topics pertinent to Circular Economy can be discussed, but not consolidated in one work alone so far. If we strive for a more resilient economy, a fairer society, and a healthier environment, walking the path is needed. We hope that this reading can elucidate the subject and awaken a critical sense of what attitudes or strategies can get us started. The book aims to reach from readers specialized in the subject, professors, high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, to the curious, beginners in the world of Circular Economy and new business models.

Artistic Migration

Reframing Post-War Italian Art, Architecture, and Design in Brazil

By: Aline Coelho Sanches

Artistic Migration: Reframing Post-War Italian Art, Architecture, and Design in Brazil investigates a selection of works by Italian artists and architects, and an art critic and dealer, who immigrated to Brazil after World War II, and were involved in the first activities and opportunities created by the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP). Although foreigners, these experts, namely Bramante Buffoni, Roberto Sambonet, Lina Bo Bardi, Giancarlo Palanti, and Pietro Maria Bardi, were engaged in the construction of paths for Brazilian art, architecture, and design, in production marked by the intertwining of artistic disciplines. By examining the works produced between 1946 and 1991, and focusing on the relationship between art and architecture, with previously unexplored cases, the text investigates how these actors engaged in the dilemmas of Brazilian culture and became part of its invention. The intention is to understand the nature and meaning of this recognizable experience, the continuities of and ruptures from modern architectural, art and design ideals, pre-war experience, and immigration, illuminating a complex framework of relationships with local ideas. The approach and the extensive archival research in Italy and Brazil adopted for the book sheds new light on critically rethinking and reframing Italian and Brazilian cultural events, and will be of interest to architects, researchers, teachers, and students interested in the history of architecture, museums, design, and art.

Dance Medicine & Science Guide

From the Brazil-United Kingdom DMS Network.

By: Adriano Bittar,Matthew Wyon,Valéria Figueiredo,Derrick Brown,Aline Haas

The inaugural actions of the Brazil-United Kingdom Dance Medicine & Science Network (BRUK NET) emerged through the organization of the symposium "The Potentials and Challenges of Research in Dance Medicine & Science: building innovation collaborations between the United Kingdom and Brazil" held in Goiânia, in 2016. In this bilingual Portuguese-English book, 23 leading researchers/authors from the BRUK NET write about their experiences in this field. The idea of the book is to share part of their knowledge and to build paths and theoretical, conceptual and methodological constructs around DMS, from where visibility, access and sustainability could develop. The desire for an interinstitutional, interdisciplinary, collective and supportive cooperation has enabled us to create a book of cross-cutting contexts and diverse views. The demand for DMS services and knowledge is growing. It requires that professionals from different backgrounds; dance, health, education and many others, ethically reflect and debate over the breadth and rigor necessary for the growth and valorization of this field of study.

Slave No More

Self-Liberation before Abolitionism in the Americas

By: Aline Helg

Commanding a vast historiography of slavery and emancipation, Aline Helg reveals as never before how significant numbers of enslaved Africans across the entire Western Hemisphere managed to free themselves hundreds of years before the formation of white-run abolitionist movements. Her sweeping view of resistance and struggle covers more than three centuries, from early colonization to the American and Haitian revolutions, Spanish American independence, and abolition in the British Caribbean. Helg not only underscores the agency of those who managed to become "free people of color" before abolitionism took hold but also assesses in detail the specific strategies they created and utilized. While recognizing the powerful forces supporting slavery, Helg articulates four primary liberation strategies: flight and marronage; manumission by legal document; military service, for men, in exchange for promised emancipation; and revolt—along with a willingness to exploit any weakness in the domination system. Helg looks at such actions at both individual and community levels and in the context of national and international political movements. Bringing together the broad currents of liberal abolitionism with an original analysis of forms of manumission and marronage, Slave No More deepens our understanding of how enslaved men, women, and even children contributed to the slow demise of slavery.

Carlos Chagas, um cientista do Brasil = Carlos Chagas, scientist of Brazil

Carlos Chagas, um cientista do Brasil = Carlos Chagas, scientist of Brazil

By: Simone Petragli Kropf,Aline Lopes de Lacerda

Esta esmerada obra – que reúne um conjunto iconográfico singular, fruto de ampla pesquisa, e uma compilação dos mais expressivos documentos relativos à vida e à obra de Carlos Chagas – conduz o leitor através das múltiplas dimensões da trajetória biográfica desse distinto pesquisador e suas variadas facetas. Por se tratar de um livro composto essencialmente de imagens, contém pouco texto próprio, mas não menos importante, como o que descreve Chagas como um dos líderes do movimento que preconizava a intervenção do Estado na saúde pública. À época, o Brasil era considerado ‘doente’ não porque fosse país tropical ou formado por mestiços, mas porque não havia políticas preventivas na área da saúde. Chagas, pois, além de brilhante cientista, foi também um destacado sanitarista. A obra é constituída de capítulos que abrangem sua infância, sua formação médica, as campanhas que realizou contra a malária, a descoberta da doença que leva seu nome, os estudos sobre tal assunto, a polêmica em torno da nova enfermidade, a expedição que realizou à Amazônia, sua atuação como diretor do IOC e como gestor da saúde pública federal, sua atividade como professor, alguns aspectos de sua vida pessoal e familiar e, por fim, premiações e títulos que conquistou ao longo de sua carreira. Os conteúdos históricos fundamentais sobre cada tema estimularão o leitor a percorrê-lo através da narrativa das imagens. A publicação tem o mérito de contribuir para a propagação da obra de Carlos Chagas, que, longe de situar-se em um passado distante, apresenta plena atualidade com o presente da agenda sanitária e política relacionada às chamadas doenças tropicais negligenciadas, e à sua associação com a pobreza nos países em desenvolvimento.
