Beschreibung: O debate sobre a questão agrária no Brasil durante a década de 70 pode ser visto, retrospectivamente, como uma tentativa de enfrentar a superação política e econômica, pós-golpe militar, do debate clássico “feudalismo x capitalismo” dos anos 50 e 60.

Beschreibung: Da amizade e dos diálogos informais entre um rabino e um sociólogo surgem instigantes argumentos sobre questões existenciais e de identidade através de suas raízes judaicas. Falar do futuro sob ambos os pontos de vista, religioso e laico, é uma forma de comentar sobre este novo século de incertezas e transformações, e apostar que religião e democracia podem e devem convergir. O que será o judaísmo do século XXI? Mais do que uma pergunta específica, esta é uma síntese de todas as perguntas marcadas pelo sentimento de que se aproxima o fim de um mundo como nós o conhecemos.

Beschreibung: El mundo ha avanzado con la llegada de la ciencia y tecnología desde los diversos campos que la conforman con una visión de innovación involucrando a la sociedad y así satisfacer las necesidades que se han convertido en una problemática para el campo científico. El camino para llegar a un concepto de ciudades inteligentes, por ejemplo, puede conjugar varias aistas que dan cuenta de un aporte de diversas competencias y destrezas por parte de la comunidad científica. De esta manera, podemos encontrar aportes de redes eléctricas inteligentes, servicios de comunicación masiva, aprovechamiento de los recursos hídricos, análisis de ondas sísmicas, manejo de datos en la nube o la interpretación de imagen para aplicaciones médicas, cumpliendo así una vasta demanda de oportunidades para la generación de nuevo conocimiento que aplica la ciencia y tecnología en favor de la sociedad.

Beschreibung: Vivir en la periferia del sistema no siempre representó una desventaja. El judaísmo de Europa central a fines del siglo XIX e inicios del XX fue uno de los polos culturales más creativos de los tiempos modernos. El problema del judaísmo en América Latina reside en que es doblemente pe-riférico, además de ser de otra época. Al estar localizado en países capitalistas "emergentes", es decir, alejados de la cola pero, todavía, lejos de la cabeza y con comunidades de baja densidad demográfica y cultural y en un ambiente relativamente poco hostil - lo que disminuye las fuerzas centrífugas -, enfrenta el desafío de individualizarse en un universo globalizado en donde los espacios locales son permanentemente colonizados por el mundo exterior.

Beschreibung: Este texto es un esfuerzo de actualizar el judaísmo secular y humanista, que en los tiempos modernos orientó a los mayores pensadores, científicos, artistas y activistas judíos, de Spinoza a Hanna Arendt, de Freud a Einstein, de Gershwin a Chagall, de Kafka a Roth, de Theodor Hertzl a Emma Goldman, de Isaac Deutscher a Amos Oz, así como a la gran mayoría de sus premios Nobel. Judíos, que no invocaban libros sagrados o mandamientos divinos para afirmar una identidad judaica, que se nutrieron de la historia y de la cultura judía, de sus dramas psíquicos y existenciales, de lazos particulares de solidaridad cuando los judíos son perseguidos, como de revuelta cuando los judíos actúan sin sensibilidad frente al sufrimiento de los otros.

Beschreibung: Together, computerized writing environments (e.g., physical spaces, hardware, software, and networks) and the humans who use and support such technologies comprise complex ecologies of interaction. As with any ecology, a human-computer techno-ecological system needs to be planned, fostered, designed, sustained, and assessed to create a vibrant culture of support at the individual, programmatic, institutional, and even national and international level. Local and larger infrastructures of composing are critical to digital writing practices and processes. In academia, specifically, all writing is increasingly computer-mediated; all writing is digital. Unfortunately, at far too many institutions, it is difficult to sustain ecologies of digital writing. How then to best plan, foster, design, sustain, and assess the complex ecologies framing the study and practice of digital writing that we do (or hope to do) as teachers, scholars, learners, and writers? The audience for this collection is teachers, scholars, administrators, and graduate students working in fields of composition studies, computers and writing, technical/professional communication, literature, education, and English education. We all face the same dilemma: More and more of our work and instruction takes place in electronic environments, but budget constraints and assessment mandates loom, and often our positions within or institutions prohibit us from active participation in central computing endeavors. This necessarily multivocal collection refines our discussions of the many components of sustainability, providing contextual, situated, and flexible modes and methods for theorizing, building, assessing, and sustaining digital writing ecologies.

Beschreibung: The New Work of Composing is a book-length collection whose purpose is to examine the complex and semiotically rich challenges and opportunities posed by new modes of composing, new forms of rhetoric, new concepts of texts and textuality, and new ways of making meaning. In particular, this book explores how digital media are shaping our understanding of scholarly projects within composition studies, including the need to reconsider print-centric conceptions of composing; theorize and illustrate new digital genres and interrogate definitions of authorial identity; consider how digital media change our understanding of (virtual and scholarly) space and place and allow new possibilities for embodiment; explore political implications of using new media in scholarship. Twelve chapters that respond to these objectives were solicited from participants of the 2008 Thomas R. Watson Conference on Rhetoric and Composition and were reviewed by the book’s editors. The book includes a foreword by N. Katherine Hayles and responses to the themes above written by Marilyn Cooper, Paul Prior, Diana George, and Andrea Lunsford. Authors include established scholars in digital writing studies and digital humanities, as well as new voices.

Beschreibung: Technologies of Wonder: Rhetorical Practice in a Digital World considers the theoretical and pedagogical implications of designing academic scholarship in interactive digital media, and proposes renewed emphasis on embodied visual rhetoric and on the canon of arrangement as an active visual practice. This project uses the concept of the Wunderkammer to argue for techné and wonder as guiding principles for a revitalized visual canon of arrangement and as new models of invention and intervention in multimodal scholarly production. Technologies of Wonder also presents examples of how this rhetoric of inquiry can be applied to multimodal projects in the classroom. New digital technologies offer viable alternatives to linear, less embodied traditions of academic scholarship. Emerging at a time when academic presses are under considerable economic pressure, Technologies of Wonder also serves as a model for how rigorous intellectual projects can be published and disseminated in less costly, more accessible formats.

Beschreibung: Este livro aborda o estudo da relação Religião-Revolução num caso paradigmático: a Revolução Francesa. Tentamos compreender as colocações e a mentalidade da época sem descuidar de uma teoria histórica do fenômeno teoria que nos parece próxima da tradição marxista. Ao mesmo tempo, nos empenhamos em proporcionar uma reflexão útil para a consciência que se tem dos fenômenos religiosos em países como o Brasil, onde a Religião é protagonista de destaque nas mudanças e conflitos sociais.
