De Umberto Eco, Migração e intolerância apresenta a reunião de quatro ensaios fundamentais sobre temas hoje ainda mais atuais e urgentes do que na época em que os textos foram escritos. As discussões sobre os grandes fluxos migratórios que temos visto nos últimos tempos e a postura intolerante de muitos para com os migrantes têm obrigado o mundo, em especial os países ds Europa, a defrontar-se com a própria história e os próprios valores.

Com muita frequência, o foco do feminismo dominante não está na sobrevivência básica para muitos, mas no aumento do privilégio para poucos. Atender às necessidades básicas é uma questão feminista. A insegurança alimentar, o salário mínimo e o acesso à educação são questões feministas. A luta contra o racismo, o capacitismo e a transmisoginia são questões feministas. Feministas brancas muitas vezes não conseguem ver como raça, classe, orientação sexual e deficiência se cruzam com gênero. Como as feministas podem se solidarizar com um movimento quando algumas mulheres estão oprimindo outras?

Thanks to increases in life expectancy, we can now expect to live for a long time. Most of us would welcome an extra day in the week, so why do so many of us view the prospect of additional years with fear and skepticism? The reason is simple: society is not currently structured to support long lives. Rather than thinking in terms of the needs of a rising number of older people, we must instead support the young and middle-aged to prepare differently for the longer futures they can expect.

All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens.

A intenção da coleção Feminismos Plurais é trazer para o grande público questões importantes referentes aos mais diversos feminismos de forma didática e acessível. Com o objetivo de desmistificar o conceito de lugar de fala, Djamila Ribeiro contextualiza o indivíduo tido como universal numa sociedade cisheteropatriarcal eurocentrada, para que seja possível identificarmos as diversas vivências específicas e, assim, diferenciar os discursos de acordo com a posição social de onde se fala. (edição revista em parceria com a Pólen Livros)

Over the past decades, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minorities has transformed into an obsession with group identity in all its forms. A new ideology - which Yascha Mounk terms the 'identity synthesis' - seeks to put each citizen's matrix of identities at the heart of social, cultural and political life. This, he argues, is The Identity Trap. Mounk traces the intellectual origin of these ideas. He tells the story of how they were able to win tremendous power over the past decade.

Ranging from the age of slavery to contemporary injustices, this groundbreaking history of race, gender and class inequality by the radical political activist Angela Davis offers an alternative view of female struggles for liberation. Tracing the intertwined histories of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, Davis examines the racism and class prejudice inherent in so much of white feminism, and in doing so brings to light new pioneering heroines, from field slaves to mill workers, who fought back and refused to accept the lives into which they were born.

Ao longo dos ensaios e dos fragmentos, o ouvinte perceberá que sou contra um mundo melhor, que sou cético e que carrego uma sensibilidade trágica, independentemente de minha vontade filosófica. E por quê? Porque o que nos humaniza é o fracasso, homens e mulheres muito felizes não são homens e mulheres. Tenho medo de pessoas muito felizes. A consciência trágica, seja ela cósmica, seja miserável, miúda e cotidiana, determina o horizonte onde se move o humano.

We are witnessing a new surge of interpersonal and institutional violence against women, including new witch hunts.

It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines fell to cell phones, the internet exploded, and pop culture accelerated without the aid of technology that remembered everything. It was the last era with a real mainstream to either identify with or oppose. The ’90s brought about a revolution in the human condition, and a shift in consciousness, that we’re still struggling to understand.

A nova edição brasileira traz um novo posfácio com imagens que ajudam a sustentar a ideia defendida por Carol, à qual é impossível ficar indiferente.

"Correlation does not imply causation". This mantra has been invoked by scientists for decades and has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis.

Nothing "goes viral". If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today's crowded media environment, you're missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.
