And furthermore: if it is far from homogeneous, how can one understand its role in society? This collection of essays, edited by Professor Bernardo Sorj, analyzes the peculiarities of Latin American countries to demystify the role of the media and uncover the true relationship between the state and the media. Analyzing the context in which Chávez, Lula, Morales, and Uribe operated, this book is essential for understanding the new lines of government being established in Latin America.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174941704444,"sku":"9788577531325","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6bfb22c644211a26837aa5eb14160fcd.jpg?v=1778323489"},{"product_id":"judaismo-para-todos","title":"Judaism for all","description":"In Judaism for All, Bernardo Sorj defends the plurality of the Jewish religion. He shows how most Jewish thinkers and modern Jewish social movements have defined their Judaism without reference to belief in God and his commandments. The author provides a brief overview of the history of the religion and reveals the causes of the current crisis facing modern Judaism. The book presents a vision of Jewish history in which doctrine adapts to society and new values. The central issue, according to the author, is choosing the Jew each person wants to be. Bernardo Sorj reveals how, today, a large proportion of Jews do not affiliate with religious movements and are skeptical about the existence of God. He explains that this is due to the declining appeal of non-religious Jewish movements, such as Zionism or the Bund, which revived Judaism in the 20th century. According to the author, the crisis of modern Judaism is a result of the transformations that Jewish communities and societies in general have undergone in recent decades. For Sorj, globalization, the spread of human rights discourse, and multiculturalism have minimized the conflicts of Jewishness. This new status has revealed the problems and contradictions of the previously prevailing perception of reality. The author's ideas can be exemplified by great historical figures who adopted a distinct stance toward Judaism: Freud, Einstein, Spinoza, Hannah Arendt, Modigliani, Chagall, and Kafka did not rely on sacred books or divine commandments to affirm a Jewish identity.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175466090748,"sku":"9788520009086","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a4b48381fc5244f2ff6193bcd7bf5867.jpg?v=1778327088"},{"product_id":"o-desafio-latino-americano-coesao-social-e-democracia","title":"THE LATIN AMERICAN CHALLENGE: SOCIAL COHESION AND DEMOCRACY","description":"Based on the work of twenty renowned experts in the region, this book, without equal, outlines in clear and simple language, accessible to the general public, the new face of Latin America.

Sorj recalls memories of an Israel where the struggle for peace united young Latin Americans, Arabs, and Israeli Jews, and of an encounter with Darcy Ribeiro in Uruguay, when the exiled anthropologist expressed his fascination with a Brazilian movement of young Zionist revolutionaries that, through its own efforts, was spreading to other countries in the region. In some passages, he sheds light on the Jews' view of themselves. \"Unlike religion, which most young people distanced themselves from, Israel became a shared value between parents and children. There were certainly differences. For parents, the existence of the State of Israel was experienced as a miracle, a quasi-religious phenomenon. For most young people, Zionism was a secular ideology, an alternative to the religious and resigned worldview (...),\" reports Sorj. The Uruguayan-born author teaches us that \"The Bible tells us that the beginning of the history of a people, in this case, the Hebrews, begins with leaving their parents' home. In the biblical text, God commands Abraham: 'Go out (lech lecha) from your land, from your native environment, and from your father's house.' A possible translation of Lech lecha is 'go to yourself,' go find yourself. Every beginning of a new path requires a break with the home where one was born. But every break, however radical one might like to imagine, is nonetheless full of continuities, even if only for the simple fact that it is constructed as a reaction to the past.\"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176930033916,"sku":"9788520010860","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/34428a18eb2dc003ce2e80fc8541efef.jpg?v=1778324179"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/bernardo-sorj.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
