Interweaving rich ethnographic descriptions with an innovative theoretical approach, this book explores and unsettles conventional maps and understandings of Europe and the Americas. Through an examination of the recently inaugurated cross-border bridge between France’s overseas department of French Guiana and Brazil’s northern state of Amapá, which effectively acts as a one-way street and serves to perpetuate inequalities in a historically deeply entangled region, it foregrounds the ways in which borderland inhabitants such as indigenous women, illegalised migrants, and local politicians deal with these inequalities and the increasingly closed Amazonian border in everyday life. A study that challenges the coloniality of memory, this volume shows how the borderland along and across the Oyapock River, far from being the hinterland of France and Brazil, in fact illuminates entangled histories and their concomitant inequalities on a large scale. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and border studies with interests in postcolonialism, memory, and inequality.

Monet Ficht seria ou não um assassino de animais? Com qual força instintiva ele foi capaz de matar e empalhar numa parede dentro de um fosso o seu melhor amigo Pitty? Alimentando seus desejos sádicos alinhando aos seus sentimentos escatológicos, tendo como um contexto tempos sombrios em que viver num países tomado pelo caos urbano, a solidão e as ações íntimas parecem ser a única saída para não enlouquecer. Mas desde de quando Ficht se acha um homem normal? Mesmo que seja intelectual, Ficht, à luz de perspectiva da psicologia social, bem que poderia representar o retrato do homem contemporâneo, estranho, complexo, cativante e carismático. Que o/a leitor/a não se engane, que leia com cuidado, e no final tome suas conclusões, se o que Monet Fich fez com Pitty é capaz de condená-lo para o resto de sua vida. A narrativa é pura introspecção psicológica, bem ao estilo de Clarice Lispector e Graciliano Ramos, mas também uma ficção que eleva o/a eleitor/a a momentos de estranhamento fantástico. Uma boa leitura, narrativa escrita por Fabio dos Santos, um dos escritores mais premiados em Alagoas, seu estado natal, que já vem em seu terceiro livro aqui publicado. Formado em Letras, pela Universidade Federal de Alagoas, com Especialização em Educação e mestrando em Sociologia, pela mesma universidade, tem em seu currículo mais de 25 prêmios literárias em todas as categorias, desde poesia a ensaio, e já publico 9 livros, grande parte premiados.

In The Answer For Everything, Fabio Santos presents the latest discoveries of traditional science by establishing relationships with the concepts of modern Spirituality in a work that can be used as a study guide, both for beginners and for those who are already familiar with the subject.Amid basic concepts of how the universe, our planet, the dimensions of reality, and how it all affects our lives today and now, complex subjects such as Quantum Mechanics and Sacred Geometry are explained in a practical and easy to understand way.It is also possible to understand the role of religions a little better in the history of mankind by raising questions about what are known as "conspiracy theories" as extraterrestrial contacts and the control that a supposed “Occult Government” exercises on Earth.In a simple and fun language like a chat with the reader, The Answer For Everything serves as a guide and encouragement to delve into the most important issues to our spiritual growth, showing some of the many paths we can follow for the so-called ascension, reaffirming that it depends only on ourselves.

In La risposta a tutto, Fabio Santos presenta le più recenti scoperte della scienza tradizionale, stabilendo relazioni fra i vari concetti di spiritualità moderna, attraverso un''opera che può essere utilizzata come guida agli studi, sia per i principianti che per coloro che hanno già familiarizzato con questo tema.Questa è una miscela di concetti basilari sul funzionamento degli universi, del nostro pianeta, delle dimensioni della realtà e di come tutto questo influisce sulla nostra vita nel qui ed ora. Tratta temi complessi come la meccanica quantistica e la geometria sacra, tutti spiegati in maniera pratica e di facile comprensione.Il contenuto del libro aiuta a comprendere un po’ meglio il ruolo delle religioni nella storia dell’umanità, presentando quesiti su argomenti qualificati come “teoria della cospirazione”, la vita extraterrestre e il controllo di un supposto governo occulto che manovra l’umanità.Con un linguaggio semplice e divertente, come se fosse una chiacchierata con il lettore, La Risposta a Tutto si propone come guida e stimolo per la nostra crescita spirituale. Mostra alcuni dei diversi cammini che possiamo seguire verso la cosiddetta ascensione, sempre consapevoli del fatto che tutto dipende solo da noi stessi.

Die Herausgebenden legen mit „Globale Soziologie“ einen Band vor, der in Debatten um die Dekolonisierung der Disziplin interveniert. Sie vereinen Beiträge, die anhand dreier Fragenkomplexe die international bereits geebneten, im deutschsprachigen Raum jedoch kaum betretenen Wege zu einer Globalen Soziologie aufzeigen und erweitern. Sie stellen zunächst die Geschichte der Soziologie auf den Prüfstand und fragen, von welchen Standpunkten aus „klassische“ Theorien entworfen wurden und wessen Lebensrealitäten sie erfassen und adressieren. Insbesondere die ungleichen Voraussetzungen in der Konstruktion und Zirkulation von „Klassikern“ bei institutionell hergestellter Unsichtbarkeit anderer Werke finden Berücksichtigung. Zweitens gehen die Beiträge des Buchs der Frage nach, welche epistemologischen und methodologischen Schlüsse sich aus diesen historiographischen und theoretischen Kritiken und Rekonstruktionen ziehen lassen. Sie erarbeiten Vorschläge, die einen erkenntnistheoretischen Wandelhin zu einer reflexiven, multiperspektivischen und global verflochtenen Soziologie begründen und fortführen können. Drittens werden Schlüsselthemen identifiziert und anhand empirischer Studien aus der Arbeits-, Migrations- und Geschlechtersoziologie illustriert.
