Human Rights Movement and Discourse
Mercedes Barros

This book accounts for the process of emergence and constitution of the human rights movement and discourse during the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983).

Brazilian Subjectivity Today
Brazilian Subjectivity Today

The emerging field of psychosocial studies signifies a confluence of


disciplines for whom the fantasies, repressions and cultural practices


underlying national identity represents a crucial research focus. This book

and the 2016 Olympic Games. This former Portuguese colony is a country of


contradictions in need of a new image; a nation that needs to be able to both


love and sell itself in today's neo-liberal reality. It argues that a


contemporary representation of Brazilian subjectivity is best enabled through


an interdisciplinary perspective. Five …
