        by Giselle Beiguelman

        ARAWETÉ

        A Tupi people from the Amazon forest

        by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (author), Camila de Caux (author) and Guilherme Orlandini Heurich (author)

        Result of an academic research carried out in the 1980s by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, this book was published in 1992, following an edition adapted for wider, non-specialized audiences who showed great interest in the Araweté way of life. This third edition, revised and expanded with new chapters based on recent studies, celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the pioneering research by one of the most respected Brazilian anthropologists, and, above all, retrieves the struggle of this people to survive, resist and reinvent themselves without losing their culture.

        A SHIFT IN CAPITALISM

        NEW SOCIAL ARCHITECTURES

        by Ladislau Dowbor

        In this book, Ladislau Dowbor analyzes a set of changes in capitalism that suggests we are in transition to another system of production, leaving behind the so-called industrial era and developing something new, which the author calls the Age of Knowledge. However, new does not necessarily mean better: we may be living in a more connected and collaborative society,  but old problems – such as environmental, social and economic ones – that are getting worse every day, in addition to individualized control over populations, through algorithms and artificial intelligence, weigh on the future of humanity. It is up to us to foresee the directions that this brave – or horrid – new world will take.

        MUTATIONS: DISSONANCES OF PROGRESS

        by Adauto Novates (editor)

        The eleventh book in the series Mutations, Dissonances of progress discusses how the progress of technology brought undeniable benefits to humanity – such as advances in medicine and communication –, improving our daily life. On the other hand, it brought speed and superficiality to the relations of the human being with its surroundings, and degraded several aspects of current life with the exacerbation of individualism, the substitution of moral values, the overestimation of religious beliefs, the economy as the utmost referential of life in common, the knowledge of specialists to the detriment of thinkers. The essays in this volume analyze this situation and indicate paths for reflection.
