This volume examines some of the ways that Brazil has been
represented and seeks to represent itself in popular media. It
looks at social inequalities, racial divisions, and legacies of
political restructuring as it illuminates the challenges and
opportunities that the nation faces at present and going into
preparations for and recovery from the upcoming mega events, both
the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. Drawing on the
expertise of scholars in the fields of film and media studies,
political science, social movement analysis, and cultural studies
this volume features chapters examining the role of stereotyped
Brazilian identity and myths of what it means to be Brazilian, the
growing interest in favela-slum-culture, and sites of resistance in
contemporary Brazilian society.

This detailed volume explores olfactory receptors, a topic that
goes beyond classical biochemical essays and involves methods to
investigate the brain areas associated with the perception of
odorants. Gathering the strands of many advanced techniques, the
book organizes these key methods in order to achieve a unifying
comprehension of the olfactory system. Written for the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and multidisciplinary,
Olfactory Receptors: Methods and Protocols serves to benefit not
only those who are beginning in the field of olfactory receptors,
but also those who are already working in the field and that want
to learn another advanced techniques.
Die Beitrage dieses Bandes richten einen umfassenden,
interdisziplinaren Blick auf das Thema des Rationalen und des
Irrationalen im deutschen Sprachraum. Um dem Phanomen naher zu
kommen, werden die Ausdrucksformen dieses Begriffspaares vom
Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart pluriperspektivisch
herausgearbeitet. Bemerkenswert ist die allgegenwartige Aktualitat
des Themas sowie dessen Vielfalt an Facetten, Bedeutungen und
Auswirkungen. Dabei fungiert das irrational Erscheinende oft als
dasjenige Element, das die Existenz des Rationalen uberhaupt erst
ermoeglicht. Dieses von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern getragene und
herausgegebene Projekt geht zuruck auf einen deutsch-franzoesischen
Workshop, der 2010 an der Universitat Strassburg stattgefunden hat
und die Wechselbeziehungen von Rationalitat und Irrationalitat zum
Thema hatte. Der vorliegende Band wird durch weitere Beitrage zu
diesem Thema erganzt.
