Bücher von Vanessa Machado De Oliveira

For fans of Everything Is F*cked and Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times, a book about facing the multiple crises of modernity--and hospicing modernity--with maturity, humility, and integrity.This book is not easy: it contains no quick-fix plan for a better, brighter tomorrow, and gives no ready-made answers. Instead, Vanessa Machado de Oliveira presents us with a challenge: to grow up, step up, and show up for ourselves, our communities, and the living Earth, and to interrupt the modern behavior patterns that are killing the planet we're part of. Driven by expansion, colonialism, and resource extraction and propelled by neoliberalism and rabid consumption, our world is profoundly out of balance. We take more than we give; we inoculate ourselves in positive self-regard while continuing to make harmful choices; we wreak irreparable havoc on the ecosystems, habitats, and beings with whom we share our planet. But instead of drowning in hopelessness, how can we learn to face our reality with humility and accountability? Machado de Oliveira breaks down archetypes of cognitive dissonance--the do-gooder who does "good enough," then retreats to business as usual; the incognito capitalist who, at first glance, may seem like a radical change-maker--and asks us to dig deeper and exist differently. She explains how our habits, behaviors, and belief systems hold us back...and why it's time now to gradually disinvest. Including exercises used with teachers, NGO practitioners, and global changemakers, she offers us thought experiments that ask us to: • Reimagine how we learn, unlearn, and respond to crisis• Better assess our surroundings and interact with difference, uncertainty, complexity, and failure• Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for difficult and painful things• Understand the "5 modern-colonial e's": Entitlements, Exceptionalism, Exaltation, Emancipation, and Enmeshment in low-intensity struggle activism• Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm• Create space for change driven neither by desperate hope nor a fear of desolate hopelessness For fans of adrienne maree brown, Sherri Mitchell, and Arundhati Roy, Hospicing Modernity challenges our assumptions and dares to ask more of us, for the sake of us all.

Ce livre a pour objectif de mener une étude sur la liberté de l'individu concernant l'usage de substances stupéfiantes considérées comme illicites par le système juridique, compte tenu du caractère fragmentaire de l'application du droit pénal, qui devrait se limiter à sanctionner les pratiques considérées comme préjudiciables à la collectivité. À cette fin, il utilise l'analyse de certaines dispositions pénales concernant la lutte contre l'usage de substances stupéfiantes, en les confrontant aux dictats constitutionnels et aux principes fondés sur le droit pénal.

Questo libro si propone di condurre uno studio sulla libertà dell'individuo in merito all'uso di sostanze stupefacenti considerate illecite dall'ordinamento giuridico, alla luce della frammentarietà dell'applicazione del diritto penale, che dovrebbe limitarsi a sanzionare le pratiche considerate dannose per la collettività.
