Disenfranchised grief in contemporary society
Death itself is already a major taboo in the Western world. The same can be said about grief, particulalry when it is not seen as such - the so-called symbolic and/or ambiguous losses. With this reality in mind, Gabriela Casellato has gathered fundamental texts to better understand the subject. Divided into four parts - "GRIEF IN EARLY-LIFE LOSSES ", "GRIEF IN LOSSES BY NON-NORMATIVE LIFEE-COUSE TRANSITIONS", "Grief in Care Giving" and "Social Engagement: From Silence to Action" – this book also includes an afterword on the Covid-19 pandemic, which has swept the world and continues to devastate Brazil. Topics covered include: -Fraternal mourning, widowhood, and falling ill with cancer; -Gr...
NEW CHRONICLES OF DEAFNESS
In this work Paula Pfeifer tells us what it was like to lose her hearing progressively during childhood, until she became profoundly deaf at the age of 31 years old and then decided to have a cochlear implant which enabled her to hear again. Full of highs and lows, her journey towards sound is described in a sincere and heartfelt manner. From the preliminary tests prior to surgery through to the cochlear implant activation and months of adaptation to her new life, Paula builds a compelling account that captivates both people with hearing loss and those who interact with them. Paula describes the process of making her decision to have a cochlear implant: ‘’this book tells the journey of a person who was born hearing and became deaf, a journey that is very different from someone who was born without hearing and did not know any sound. I say that because I am aware of the philosophical discussions surrounding deafness. However, I am not interested in these theories and philosophies: I opted for sound’’.
Body, Mind and Healing After Jung
It is difficult to point to an aspect of Jungian psychology that does not touch on mind, body and healing in some way. In this book Raya Jones draws on the triad of body, mind and healing and (re)presents it as a domain of ongoing uncertainty within which Jung’s answers stir up further questions. Contributors from both clinical and scholarly backgrounds offer a variety of cultural and historical perspectives. Areas of discussion include: the psychosomatic nature of patients’ problems transference and counter-transference therapeutic techniques centred on movement or touch. Striking a delicate balance between theory-centred and practice-oriented approaches Body, Mind and Healing After Jung is essential reading for all Jungians.
Media and Politics in Latin America
Latin America is an increasingly important geopolitical entity and its nations are emerging as some of the most influential and radical states in the modern world. The media conglomerates which control the television and radio platforms in these countries, such as the Globo organization in Brazil and the Mercurial S.P.A. media corporation in Chile, have great political influence across the region. Here, Carolina Matos contrasts public service broadcasting in Latin America to that in Europe and the UK, engaging with current debates on globalisation and theories of cultural imperialism. She examines the role public media has played in the processes of national development, democratisation and international dialogue across South and Central America, arguing that it can be a powerful tool for political and social inclusion. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of Media, Politics and Cultural Studies, as well as those with an interest in Latin American culture. As key polities, such as Brazil and Mexico, begin to flex their economic and demographic muscle, Media and Politics in Latin America is a timely examination of society and politics in the region.
Rééducation posturale globale
La méthode Rééducation Posturale Globale-RPG est un concept élaboré et promu depuis plus de trente ans par Philippe Souchard. Populaire depuis les années 1980 dans différents pays du monde, elle est désormais connue partout et a atteint une maturité scientifique qui la place parmi les thérapies de réhabilitation les plus utilisées et les plus demandées par les professionnels et les patients. Des postures de correction sont définies, traitées « en profondeur », en remontant des conséquences à la cause des pathologies, ce qui différencie du travail analytique classique. Le travail est réalisé par une réharmonisation sur les systèmes intégrés de coordination neurofibro...

Jornalismo na Wikipédia
Este é um livro feito de um apanhado de textos sobre jornalismo que existem na Wikipédia. Pode parecer estranho se fazer um livro com textos de domínio público, mas isso é possível e permitido, desde que isso fique claro e atribuído os devidos créditos autorais. Essa ideia surgiu logo após descobrir que a própria Wikipédia tem um serviço para isso, em que se pode até imprimir o livro criado com os textos que estão disponíveis online e em constante atualização. Os valores são revertido para a fundação que tem a proposta de manter o conhecimento livre e gratuito. Espero que vocês gostem da proposta e se motivem a produzir os seus próprios livros com o assunto que desejar.
