Anarquia em Sicília – uma revolta de escravos na Siracusa Antiga 491/490 A.C.
2017
No ano 491 ou 490 a.C. o <em>demos</em> de Siracusa, uma das principais cidades gregas na parte oriental da ilha de Sicília, se alia aos <em>kyllyrioi,</em> uma população agrária escravizada, expulsando a aristocracia escravocrata e latifundiária dos <em>gamoroi</em> da cidade. Segue-se o que Aristóteles chama de um estado de <em>anarquia</em>, que é somente terminado com a ascensão da tirania de Gelão, que cria uma nova ordem política em Siracusa. Este artigo pretende examinar a relevância da análise de classes para o entendimento destes eventos, ponderando assim também a relevância da categoria para a história da antiguidade em geral. Adicio…
Corporate storytelling and the idea of Latin America
2021
The aim of this article is contributing to a great variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical settings to generate cumulative evidence about the influence of historical legacies and organisational ability for managing the past. In a continuation of critical perspectives that challenges the dominance of Anglo-Saxon onto-epistemologies in management and organisation studies (MOS), we conducted an empirical study on a multinational airline company whose past successes depended on the North/South, Anglo/Latin American borderlands. We analysed the grand narratives of Pan American Airways' (PAA) corporate archival material to determine its dominant discourses about people from Latin Americ…
Hydatidosis of the Central Nervous System in South America
2014
In this chapter, we reviewed the epidemiology of cystic hydatidosis in South America, especially focusing on hydatidosis of the central nervous system.

Hydatidosis is endemic in several Latin American countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. The global occurrence of hydatid cysts of the central nervous system is uniformly low, with a reported incidence of 0.9–2.1 % of all cases of hydatidosis.

Regional currencies and regional monetary zones in Latin America : what prospects ?
2009
9 p.; This paper aims at drawing lessons from Keynes's plan presented at the Bretton Woods conference, in order to help improving current regional monetary agreements in Latin America. Some promoters of the Bank of the South and the New Financial Architecture in Latin America are proposing to implement a regional clearing system designed to allow a multilateral offsetting of the liabilities and assets generated in the reciprocal transactions of member countries in words that the British economist certainly would not have denied. This system would be very different from current regional payments aggreements that maintain an implicit reference to the US dollar as reserve or payment currency.
Regional currencies and regional monetary zones in Latin America : whats prospects ?
2010
International audience; Reducing transaction costs and the need for international reserves is a primary objective to the establishment of regional payment agreements. Another objective, especially in the case of Latin America where the Ecuadorian promoters of the Bank of the South (Banco del Sur) and the New Regional Financial Architecture are planning the implementation of a regional clearing system, is to reduce member countries' dependence on the U.S. dollar as an international standard and reserve currency. To help improve the design of such agreements, this paper refers to the plan Keynes designed for the Bretton Woods conference. First, it observes that cases were made against this pl…
