Mirian begins with the biological, psychological, and social reality represented by the body to provide a remarkable analysis of the female condition in our country. Mirian defends the idea that in Brazil, the body is capital, a desired asset even as a vehicle for social advancement. A sexy, young, slim, wrinkle-free, and fit body presupposes sacrifice, work, and financial investment. In Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, the perfect body is the only one that, even without clothes, is decently dressed. For the author, the body is the true garment: \"It is the body that must be displayed, molded, manipulated, worked, sewn, adorned, chosen, constructed, produced, imitated. It is the body that goes in and out of fashion. Clothing is merely an accessory for the valorization and display of this fashionable body,\" states Mirian. And how to age in this context?

In it, French philosopher Louis Althusser reaffirms his theoretical affiliation and makes innovative contributions to the study of ideology, deepening the understanding of the domination of the state and the ruling classes over workers. His text influenced important intellectuals such as Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj Žižek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Althusser starts from the premise that, if a capitalist society depends on certain conditions of production to exist, it is necessary to reproduce these conditions ad infinitum. As it stands, the state's management of the economy not only allows for the exploitation inherent in the class struggle but also provides the means to maintain this exploitation. Revisiting the Marxist notion that the state is a repressive machine that ensures the extortion of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie, Althusser chooses to differentiate between state power and the state apparatus, distinguishing in the latter a repressive bias (a traditional Marxist approach) and also an ideological bias. Thus, he develops a category of institutionalization of the ideology necessary for the state to guarantee the maintenance of the current order. These apparatuses go beyond the use of force; not that the latter becomes dispensable, but also without configuring it as the sole factor of control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this dynamic, the worker is born and renewed as a workforce, always coexisting with the ideologies that educate them to reproduce the status quo—the central figure of the School stands out here—and that justify their position in the material world order.

In this sense, the panorama of trends outlined by Lyotard had been developing, at the level of the basic conditions for the production of knowledge and technology, since the scientific leaps that occurred at the turn of the 19th century. The interpretative framework developed in \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition*\u003c\/em\u003e is faithful to the essence of Hegelian-Marxist historical dialectics. That is, it analyzes how a succession of small quantitative transformations ultimately determines a qualitative leap, a change of era—from the modern to the postmodern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis edition brings a significant new feature: It corrects the title, reestablishing strict correspondence with the original. Lyotard wrote a book about the postmodern condition, not about the \"postmodern.\" In the 1980s, speaking of \"postmodern\" as something ready-made and finished was a symptom of a fetishistic, \"New Age\" approach that completely contradicted the spirit of Lyotard's text. The philosopher was deeply irritated by this type of appropriation of his thought, quite common among North American \"postmodernist\" intellectuals. Much of what Lyotard wrote later on the subject was intended to demarcate his own position. He was never an apologist for postmodernity. On the contrary, over time, he became one of its most furious critics, in the field of aesthetic questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition\u003c\/em\u003e *, Lyotard sought to expose, in a primarily descriptive manner, the objective assumptions that allowed us to speak of a radical transformation in the way knowledge is produced, distributed, and, above all, legitimized. Lyotard was always the most eclectic of the philosophers of 1968, but what emerges from these pages, far beyond Kantian and Marxist criticisms, is the skeptical and pragmatic perspective that has come to dominate much of Western thought in recent years. In \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition\u003c\/em\u003e *, this perspective translates into the famous thesis of the end of metanarratives of legitimization of knowledge and politics, which signifies the loss of attraction for the high-sounding ideals of classical modernity. Lyotard's version of contemporary pragmatism, however, was anything but conformist or liberal. By proposing what he called a general agonisticity of discourses, Lyotard remained faithful to his militant past, both in this and in all his books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"Lyotard presciently concludes that knowledge in post-industrial society becomes the main bottleneck for the development of peripheral countries. Hence, it can be assumed, contrary to what is commonly heard among us, that the gap between developed and developing countries will tend to widen further in the future. To speak today of a single global economy is nothing more than a rather indiscreet way of legitimizing multiple and previously unsuspected forms of injustice.

With subtlety, humor, and skill, Eco brings together reflections on the ancient and fascinating world of books, bibliophilia, memory, and the joy of reading. In this refined and elegant volume, Eco praises libraries and books, from papyri to the present day, and demystifies the notion that it takes a lot of money to be a collector. He also lists the enemies of books, the agents of premature death: borers, termites, and most frighteningly, human ignorance itself. He asserts that iPads and Kindles are merely an evolution—the pages may no longer be made of paper, but the book will remain what it is. He revisits some works, tells stories, redefines criteria of value, and takes us to the magical world of printed matter. From organic memory, recorded and organized by our brain, to the emergence of writing, he follows the changes in the apprehension and understanding of knowledge. Books are our elders, our vegetal memory. The historical memory hidden between paragraphs is our own memory, our capacity for reflection. A life insurance policy, a small foretaste of immortality. Before a book, we seek, more than deciphering, to interpret. It is through the vegetal memory of the book that we can recall not only our childhood games, but also those of Proust. Passions, desires, suffering, joy—all can arise from reading. Reading becomes a dialogue with someone who is not in front of us. A dialogue that, at any moment, evokes memories and knowledge, emotions and experiences, otherwise lost.

After all, the rise in popular support for the far right is a recent phenomenon that, starting in 2018, completely changed the landscape of electoral races in Brazil. However, how can we explain this sudden embrace? Why did a large portion of the impoverished classes embrace the far right's agenda precisely at a historical moment when living conditions were significantly improving? What justifies the poorest supporting politicians who strip away rights and benefits?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eTo answer these questions, Jessé Souza focuses on two groups—poor whites and Black evangelicals—as models of this engagement. By listening directly to the complaints of people in these groups, the sociologist helps us understand, for example, how the racist demands of the white majority population in the South and the state of São Paulo also come to be defended by the racialized population, which is often strongly influenced by evangelical groups that are committed to political domination.
